Gossip King - Chapter 448
Chapter 448 Man Is Like an Ant
Gaoleng’s car sped along the road. Looking at the time, it was half past four. At this point, Donggang has already opened and resumed its busy schedule.
He pressed the radio button and the sweet voice of the radio host came from inside.
“Good morning, everyone. On this cold autumn morning, the path will accompany you to start a new day …” Soon after, all kinds of gentle music floated over.
Donggang is in the outer ring. This is the edge of the city.
Although it was the edge of the city, it was not even five o’clock in the morning, but there were some commuters gathered at the bus stop, and the subway entrance not far from the bus stop was also packed with people.
Although the night was still dark, everyone was already in a hurry.
The imperial capital was so big that it made people panic in their hearts.
It’s so big that if you don’t have money or status in this city, you’ll be like an ant, like dust.
So big that you have to take a bite of a bun on this cold autumn morning and take a bus for two to three hours to get to the city center to work.
A mucus appeared on his nose, and his face was dark green. Then, he squeezed out a stinking sweat and stepped on the ground, his entire body dirty.
Gaoleng’s car was slower. He looked at them.
Most of them were freshly graduated college graduates in their early twenties. Their faces were full of exhaustion. They were either biting a bun, eating a mouthful of bread, or half-narrowing their eyes to lean on the platform. They were still sleepy and did not wake up.
These people were called Beipiao in the imperial capital.
What is drift? It’s duckweed, no roots.
However, they had hope that they could use their own hands to fight for a better future. This hope supported them to get up earlier than chickens and do their best.
There was a large slum near Donggang. There were tens of thousands of young people from all over who came to fight. Although it was far, far from the city center where they worked, it was cheap here.
Yes, it’s cheap. An old house of ninety square meters can be divided into ten rooms, ranging from seven hundred to a thousand a month.
Living in a humble room, living like ants, he still struggled with hope.
They did not know the cruel truth. The truth was that there was only one person out of tens of thousands. Only one and a half of them were able to break out of the siege. Like Gaoleng, they drove Land Rover. There was air conditioning in the car, and there was the gentle and sweet voice of the radio anchor. There was money on the card.
In fact, there was no such thing as a one-out-of-one ratio.
And the vast majority of people would never be able to get out of this situation in their lifetime.
Gaoleng looked at them and sighed in his heart.
No matter how hard they worked, no matter how low they were, no matter what. Such a Beipiao would be out of reach before he was reborn.
He couldn’t even catch up to a tenth of them, and if he hadn’t dropped out of school, he might have been one of them, Gaoleng thought.
Life is really hard to predict.
As the car neared the platform, Gaoleng rolled down the window and shouted, “Hey, is anybody going to Dawn Road? I’m on my way.”
The young man at the station was shocked by the sudden sound. After looking at each other for a while, his gaze landed on the Land Rover logo. This is a luxury car.
“No, thank you, no carpool.”
“Where’s Land Rover? It’s too expensive to bring along.”
The youths in the crowd all cast envious and somewhat surprised gazes. They thought that Gaoleng was a black car. Colleagues in Gaoleng often take people along after work to collect a little money to subsidize the gas bill.
I’ve never seen a luxury car save gas.
“No money, I’m on my way.” Gaoleng took out his press card from his pocket and waved it.
“Where’s the reporter, Xingsheng Magazine, wow …” one of them cried out excitedly. She was holding a magazine in her hand and looking at Gaoleng with admiration.
“That’s right, what a young reporter. He’s as old as us and has already opened up the Land Rover!”
“En, wow, I haven’t sat on Land Rover yet.”
There was a commotion in the crowd, and they all moved closer.
Mu Xiaoleng’s community was located in the busiest part of the city center, and there were still many people going to Dawn Road.
A small voice broke everyone’s envy and said, “I’m going to Dawn Road …”
“I’ll go too. I’ll go too.”
“I’m also on my way…”
For a moment, seven or eight people squeezed over.
Gaoleng glanced at it. It was a bit difficult. Although the car was spacious, there were too many people in it.
“Men, don’t get close. Let the women go.” Behind him came the voice of a middle-aged man, “Girls go first.” With that, his eyes turned red and he gave Gaoleng a thumbs up. “Ah, it would be great if my daughter could meet such a kind person. She squeezes buses everyday in Zhonghai City. Ladies and gentlemen, look at his license plate. It’s a license plate from Beijing. It’s not easy to get a license plate from Beijing. This young man is capable. Plus, he’s monitored all the way, so there’s no problem.”
When the middle-aged man spoke, everyone was relieved. The few boys who had squeezed forward scratched their heads embarrassedly, “Hehe, let’s get in the car. It’s not like I haven’t been on Land Rover. Where’s Land Rover?” With that, they touched the car door with great regret and retreated a little.
A burst of fragrance drifted into the car. Four girls crowded into the back seat, and a young girl wearing light makeup sat on the front seat. She was holding Xingsheng’s magazine in her hand.
“Oh, you’re still reading our magazine.” Gaoleng glanced at him and said casually.
“Mm, today… I’m going to Xingsheng for an interview.” The girl hurriedly replied, nodding politely as she spoke, her face filled with fear.
Most of the college students who had just graduated were like this.
This was a rare opportunity for Xing Sheng.
“Is that so?” When Gaoleng heard this, he became interested, “What position?”
“Well, the position I applied for is Social Journalist Assistant.” The girl sat up straight and answered respectfully, as if Gaoleng was an interviewer.
Social news was a very troubled reporter amongst journalists. There was nothing to be gained from the small matters of the common people in the streets and alleys. They were like paparazzi in the wind and rain.
The social journalist assistant is the person who helps carry bags, cameras, writes stories behind reporters, and finally adds your name after the official reporter.
Just as Gaoleng was about to say something, the email arrived. It turned out to be Jane Xiaodan’s.
There were many people in the car, so Gaoleng parked the car to the side and refreshed his email.
It turned out that the fatty had sent a work email to Jane Xiaodan as soon as he got back last night, informing him of Gaoleng’s arrangements to cancel all secret visits to Kenbehan. Jane Xiaodan got up early to see it and replied to the email.
Gaoleng looked at the time. It was almost five o’clock, so he called directly, “Xiaodan, well, it’s me. Why did you get up so early? Oh, right, cancel the interview with that company.” Gaoleng looked at the people in the car and said vaguely.
“Oh, by the way, go buy twenty Apple 6S and charge it to my personal account.” After saying that, Gaoleng hung up the phone and started the car again.
“Twenty apples 6S…” A burst of discussion came from the back seat of the car.
The beauty in the passenger seat looked at Gaoleng with caution and admiration.
“Haha, it’s for my team, spare phone.” Gao Leng said indifferently. He turned his head to look at the beauty, and with a single glance, his expression was slightly surprised.
“You … are you going to Xingsheng to interview reporters?” Gaoleng asked doubtfully. The surprise on his face grew even more serious. Yu Guang locked onto the stack of information in the girl’s hand.
