Chapter 1 : Lamenting the unfairness of fate

Next chapter: Chapter 2 : Feeling sorry for myself

As night falls, the lights begin to turn on, and the streets are bustling and noisy.

At this moment, a thin little figure was walking on the road in a daze.

People passing by subconsciously avoided it.

Her name is Yu Linglong, she is eighteen years old and she is an out-and-out rural person.

I dropped out of high school and came out to work in the city. At first I was full of love and enthusiasm for life.

Almost a year after leaving Shanghai, my work hit a wall at every turn.

So much so that now, for the Magic City, this place no longer has the strong love and enthusiasm that I had when I first came here to work hard.

Just half a day ago, the landlord issued an ultimatum because he had no money to pay the rent.

"Before noon tomorrow, if you haven't paid the rent, you will move out."

Tired of walking, he found a step and sat down.

He took out the only two hundred and sixty yuan left in his pocket and showed a wry smile.

I recalled that I had just turned eighteen and came out to work in the Magic City.

But faced with the sky-high housing prices in the magical city, and the exorbitantly expensive rents.

In the end, I could only choose to live in one place, referred to as a poor household, a migrant worker, or renting a house on rented land, but even so.

I still can't afford to pay the rent of **100 yuan. This is all due to the money, power and connections here.

The houses in the Magic City are places that only rich and powerful people can afford.

The starting price for a square meter is at least 100,000 yuan, not to mention more.

Renting in Shanghai is ridiculously expensive, and people at the bottom are struggling.

The monthly salary is generally only 5,000-10,000, which does not include food, but what about the rent? It costs at least two to three thousand, not including water and electricity.

But I have no education, no skills, and no money to earn more than 5,000 yuan a month, so I can only rent a house in such a poor place.

They still live in dilapidated buildings that are about to be demolished, so it’s not a big deal.

The most annoying thing was about work. I didn’t have a high level of education, but I only found out after I came to Shanghai.

No matter where you apply for a job here, you will be required to have at least a college diploma in any place, and those in office buildings will have even more requirements.

Later, I searched and searched for many jobs but failed to settle down. After searching for a long time, I finally found a job that did not require a high degree of education.

Working as a waiter in a bar, I can barely earn a salary of more than 5,000 yuan a month, which does not include food and accommodation.

Barely able to maintain the high-consumption place in this magical city, that's why the poor and migrant residents in that dilapidated house rented land and rented houses.

Even after deducting all food and accommodation, there was not much money left, and life passed peacefully for more than half a year.

But who knew that when I was working the evening shift a few days ago, a colleague with a background was holding a bottle of expensive wine.
