It was a hot summer day. It was as if balls of burning charcoal were falling from the sky, and the scorching ground was not moving at all.
The cicadas were chirping and there was no wind.
Holding the record of the project, Su Mu walked into the simple room at the head of the workers and received his wages.
He was a student of a medical school. He took advantage of the two-month summer vacation to work in this construction site. For no other reason, Su Mu had a girlfriend in the school. Everyone knew that girlfriends were extremely expensive.
Su Mu's family background was ordinary. His grandfather had offered him to go to the medical school, so he had almost used up all his money.
Ever since his grandfather passed away, he had felt that the world was even more difficult.
After having a girlfriend, Su Mu felt that making money was harder than eating shit.
His girlfriend wanted an apple fork, which cost a total of six thousand and eight hundred yuan. Although Su Mu was distressed, he still decided to buy one for her.
Although it was tiring to work at the construction site, fortunately, as long as one could endure hardships, the salary would still be very high. Moving bricks at the construction site would cost about 200 yuan a day.
For Su Mu, if he earned this 10,000 yuan in less than two months, he would not only be able to buy a high-end mobile phone, but also have some remaining money. He was very satisfied.
However, according to the record, his total salary was 51 days, but his actual salary was only 40 days, which was 11 days less.
That was two thousand yuan. For him, who spent a penny on two pieces of money, it was no less than a piece of meat on his body.
"Brother Chen, look at the watch. I really need to pay fifty-one days, but the salary I get is only eight thousand yuan. This is too much of a difference." Su Mu put the watch on the table.
The foreman, who was called Brother Chen, glanced at the watch on the table, took a drag on the cigarette, threw the cigarette butt on the ground, and stamped it out. Then, he picked up the watch casually and looked at it.
"Xiaosu, the records are correct. The salary I gave... is also not wrong." Brother Chen threw the watch on the table, picked up the cup next to him, and took two sips.
Su Mu said, "Brother Chen, two hundred yuan a day. Fifty-one days, it should be ten or two hundred yuan. I don't want the zero, but... it's really too much of a difference."
"200 yuan a day?" Brother Chen immediately put down the cup and said, "Who told you 200 yuan a day?"
Su Mu was stunned. How could a man talk nonsense and be so self-righteous?
"Weren't you the one who told me about it?"
Peng!
Brother Chen slapped on the table and said, "We don't want a summer vacation worker like you. If you can't do it, why don't you do it? Two hundred yuan a day? Do you think I'm a worker?"
"Brother Chen, what are you talking about..."
"What's wrong with my words? If it weren't for the fact that you are quite honest, I would have asked the company to give you a hundred yuan a day. Now I will give you a hundred and fifty yuan a day, and I will also give you eight thousand yuan. Aren't you happy?" Brother Chen was very angry. In this simple air conditioner room, he was still sweating.
"Back then, we agreed..."
"Bullshit. Who can prove it? Do we have a contract? Get out of here." Brother Chen snorted, picked up the cup again, and took a big sip.
Su Mu's society lacked experience. Several times, it was interrupted by Brother Chen. If they wanted to reason with each other, their momentum would be weakened.
However, when he thought that two thousand yuan was the living expenses of two months, Su Mu was unwilling to give up. "Brother Chen, I'm begging you. According to the agreed two hundred yuan per day, you can pay me a salary. I..."
"All right, all right." Brother Chen stood up impatiently, took out two 100-yuan bills from his pocket, threw them on the ground, and said, "Get out of here. It's so annoying to see you."
Looking at the two hundred yuan floating on the ground, Su Mu felt as if his dignity was floating down from his body.
He felt that he was so low in the dust that he suddenly bent down and picked up the two hundred yuan. Then he left the simple board room without looking back.
Brother Chen looked at Su Mu's back and snorted. "Little bastard, your hair hasn't even grown. It's not good for you to major in Chinese medicine. You should major in garbage. If you can rely on Chinese medicine to make a living, I'll broadcast live and eat Xiang..."
Listening to the laughter of the foreman behind him, Su Mu really wanted to go over and slap him hard.
However, Su Mu could only bear it. The foreman was right. Su Mu's major was the internal science of traditional Chinese medicine.
A typical graduate was a major in losing jobs!
It was really difficult to make a living by relying on traditional Chinese medicine. The reason why he chose traditional Chinese medicine was purely because of his grandfather in the countryside.
Before Grandpa Su Mu died, he handed him a medical book, the Yellow Emperor's Internal Canon.
It was one of the earliest medical books in China, the top of the four classics of traditional Chinese medicine, and a wonderful book with the title of ancestor of medicine.
However, traditional Chinese medicine was weak, and the last position that was suppressed by Western medicine could not be kept. Even some traditional Chinese medicine clinic had to rely on the support of the Chinese medicine department to survive. For students of traditional Chinese medicine like Su Mu, who were about to enter society, they either had conditions, had a background to enter the Chinese medicine hospital, or had a degree at the Chinese medicine department.
To be honest, Su Mu himself did not intend to rely on traditional Chinese medicine for a living.
But before his death, Grandpa Su Mu warned him that he must learn traditional Chinese medicine. In order not to let his grandfather die with regret, he chose traditional Chinese medicine major.
The young man, who was less than 20 years old, used traditional Chinese medicine to treat patients, as if there were two words engraved on his forehead: liar.
Su Mu took the salary paid and went to an apple shop. He picked an apple phone for his girlfriend, which cost about 7,000 yuan.
After leaving the apple shop, Su Mu thought that he would see his girlfriend soon, and his mood became much better.
He picked up his Xiaomi phone and dialed his girlfriend's number. Soon, the call was connected.
"Xiao Li, where are you now? I want to give you a surprise." Su Mu said with a silly smile.
"I'm serving island coffee here on Kaiyang Road. Come on, it just so happens that... a friend of mine wants to see you."
"Okay, I'll be there in half an hour. Wait for me." Su Mu hung up the phone and looked at the packed gift box with a happy smile.
Half an hour later.
When Su Mu arrived at the island coffee, he glanced around the hall and saw a familiar figure.
"Xiao Li!" Su Mu shouted softly.
A pretty girl, who was seated in an elegant seat, followed the voice and looked over. After which, she coldly nodded to Su Mu.
Su Mu's heart suddenly tightened.
He quickly walked over and saw that there was a boy and Xiao Li's best friend sitting in front of a round table.
"Xiaoqing is here too. Long time no see. You're getting more and more beautiful." Su Mu greeted her.
Xiaoqing smiled and said hello.
Su Mu looked at the boy on the other side and asked, "This is..."
Xiao Li invited Su Mu to sit down and said, "This is my boyfriend. His name is Han Yuanqi. He has been chasing me for two whole months. Today, I promised to be his girlfriend. Su Mu, I know you like me, but I..."
Su Mu felt as if someone had thrown a bomb into his ear. He couldn't hear anything that Lil Li said afterward, as if the world had suddenly gone silent.
It was not until the gift box in his hand fell to the ground that Su Mu came to his senses.
Han Yuanqi looked at Su Mu with a disdainful expression, and then glanced at the gift box on the ground. "Give me a mobile phone? How can you give me such a cheap gift these days? No wonder you haven't succeeded in chasing Lil Li for several years. You are so poor!"
Xiao Qing, who was beside him, did not forget to flatter him and said, "Su Mu, when you were chasing after Xiao Li, you always said that you hoped that Xiao Li would be happy for the rest of her life. It was estimated that Xiao Li's life would be a tragedy if she followed you. Only by following Young Master Han can Xiao Li be happy. Do you know who Young Master Han is? His father is a real estate developer. He has endless money in his lifetime. What about you? What do you have?"
Su Mu really thought that Xiao Li would never marry anyone else except him, but in less than two months, her heart changed.
Xiao Li didn't even want to admit Su Mu's efforts in the past few years. He never recognized her. He was her boyfriend, and Su Mu only spent less than two months...
It was too realistic!!
"Xiao Li, trust me. I can give you happiness, I really can." Su Mu almost pleaded.
"Haha..." Xiao Li sneered. "Don't tell me you're going to tell me that you're qualified to give you a special car when you're an intern in the world for more than 500 years? How grand is your future?"
Han Yuanqi smiled in surprise and said, "Wow, the treatment is not bad."
Xiao Qing, who was next to him, said, "Yes, it's the top 500 car in the world. It's a take-out electric car, hahaha..."
This was Su Mu's joke about his situation when he was working as an amateur. He just took it as a joke and said it to Xiao Li alone.
However, today, Xiao Li treated him as a joke and said it to someone else. This was hard for him to accept.
"Xiao Li, this is what I bought for you..." Su Mu picked up the gift box from the ground and was about to tear it apart.
Han Yuanqi suddenly jumped up and kicked Su Mu's belly. He scolded, "F*ck off. She's a piece of trash. She'll be my woman in the future. If you think about her again, I'll beat you until you can't take care of yourself. Do you believe me?"
Su Mu's eyes were red, and he rushed to Han Yuanqi like crazy.
However, Su Mu was so thin that he was no match for Han Yuanqi. He was knocked down to the ground two or three times.
Han Yuanqi spat. "Brother Chen, I know you're on the construction site. Why would I give you 8,000 yuan? I just want you to be pitiful like a dog, or you won't get a penny. Poor!"
"It's you. You're in cahoots!" Su Mu roared.
"Rubbish! You are a poor country bumpkin. What right do you have to fall in love?" Han Yuanqi's disdainful tone was like a heavy fist hitting Su Mu's chest.
Pu!
Su Mu was so angry that he spat out a mouthful of blood and fainted on the spot.
When he fainted, the thin medical book he carried with him was pressed on the blood he spat out. It turned into a golden light and entered Su Mu's body.
Before Su Mu fainted, he heard an electronic prompt without any emotional fluctuations.
Ding!
In the system matching,... the matching was successful.
In the system fusion... the fusion was successful.
Congratulations! You've activated the magic doctor system!
