Chapter 58 Reconciling with the Past, We Live in the Future (Seeking Monthly Tickets!)

How has everyone been lately?

While waiting for the food to be served, Lin Shen took the initiative to start a conversation and looked at Guo Haoran.

"Why didn't you bring Xiaohan with you? Is she working overtime?"

"I broke up with my boyfriend."

Guo Haoran adjusted his glasses and said the words with utmost calmness and composure, but it startled the other two people besides Lin Shen.

"You broke up?"

Zhao Ye put down the sunflower seeds in his hand, his face full of disbelief.

After the waiter brought over a bucket of unpolished beer, he gestured to his girlfriend, Sun Yue, to pour drinks for everyone. He then abandoned his playful attitude and became very serious.

"Why did you break up? Didn't you two start dating in your sophomore year? It's been about six years now, hasn't it?"

"Yes."

Qi Junxian was also full of curiosity.

"I remember you said last time that you were planning to get married to Xiaohan? We're all looking forward to your wedding."

"The talks broke down."

Guo Haoran accepted the large glass of beer that Sun Yue handed him, thanked her quietly, and sighed softly.

"Xiaohan's family asked me to make a down payment on a house in Shanghai, with an area of ​​no less than 100 square meters, since we will have two children in the future and we need to give each of them a private room."

"If you can't do that, then go back to Xiaohan's hometown with her, because she doesn't marry outside the area. As for the bride price, it's 28.8 yuan."

"See, I told you so!"

Zhao Ye is a straightforward person who says whatever comes to mind without thinking or considering the consequences.

“It’s not that I’m being prejudiced against any particular region, but the poorer and more remote the area, the more likely people are to haggle over the bride price, fearing that their daughters will be inferior to the daughters of their neighbors.”

"I warned you back then, but you didn't listen and almost got into a fight with me. Now you've seen the results, haven't you?"

"really."

Guo Haoran chuckled self-deprecatingly, then raised his glass and clinked it with Zhao Ye's before looking at Lin Shen and Qi Junxian.

"drink wine!"

"You didn't come by car?"

Before Qi Junxian could finish speaking, Guo Haoran had already downed a third of his beer.

However, he choked because he drank too quickly and coughed violently.

Seeing this, Sun Yue quickly pulled out a tissue and handed it to him.

"Thank you."

Guo Haoran wiped his mouth with a tissue and looked at Zhao Ye with envy in his eyes.

"Your girlfriend has a really great personality! When are you planning to get married?"

"It's early."

Zhao Ye pursed his lips.

"I've already submitted my applications for both the postgraduate entrance exam and the civil service exam this year, why would I be getting married?"

what?
Qi Junxian looked completely bewildered.

"I remember you started taking the postgraduate entrance exam and the civil service exam after you graduated, right? You haven't passed them yet?"

"Yes, I didn't pass the national minimum score for the postgraduate entrance exam in English this year, but I made it to the interview stage for the civil service exam, and I even ranked second! But!"

Zhao Ye held up three fingers, with an absurd sense of being both angry and amused.

"I want three, and I'll be fourth."

"It's a pity."

Qi Junxian said regretfully.

"Didn't you ever think about looking for a job while studying?"

"I looked for it."

Zhao Ye took the skewers from the waiter, placed them on the table, and shrugged with his hands shrugged.

"I was fired before my internship was even over."

"why?"

"That old bastard Deng was too damn good. He would just talk a lot of nonsense in meetings every day and he liked to mock people. I started cursing at him back then."

"..."

Lin Shen and the other two exchanged glances, surprised but not entirely unexpected.

Seeing this, Zhao Ye raised his wine glass in annoyance.

"Oh, drink up! Let's not talk about this anymore!"

Glug—!
After downing the beer and eating the barbecue skewers, Qi Junxian helplessly confided his frustration.

"Actually, being unemployed isn't so bad. What's that saying again? Unemployed people want to find jobs, and employed people want to be unemployed." "Why are you starting to feel sentimental too?"

Lin Shen teased.

"Didn't we just sign a deal this afternoon?"

"What's the point? You'll still be looked down upon. Insurance is a job that's not for humans."

Qi Junxian gave a scathing critique.

"Putting aside the fatigue and pressure, do you know what? The deals I painstakingly close, running around and going through all sorts of hardships, can be easily secured by someone else just by showing up, and they might even be bigger!"

How can I feel about fairness when you do this?

Should I step in?

Lin Shen and the other two looked puzzled.

However, when they saw Qi Junxian glance at Sun Yue, the four men suddenly realized what was going on and understood instantly.

"There's no way around it, women have a natural advantage when it comes to jobs like insurance or banking salespersons."

"Especially pretty girls!"

Zhao Ye shrugged, but his sharp criticism seemed to be the last straw that broke the camel's back, causing Qi Junxian to suddenly raise his wine glass indignantly.

"I'm quitting my job another day! Let's drink!"

Glug—!
Lin Shen drank his wine, lost in thought.

At that moment, he finally understood the meaning of "every family has its own problems".

It seems like everyone's having a tough time.

"Haozi is having relationship troubles, I'm having academic troubles, and Xiaoxian, you're having career troubles too."

Zhao Ye looked at Lin Shen and then couldn't help but sigh.

"It seems that among the four of us, Lin Shen is doing the best."

"I've lost weight, become more handsome, and who knows, my career might be booming again. Most importantly, I've found a beautiful girlfriend like Gu Wanting."

"Xiaoyue, do you know? Gu Wanting is a school beauty, and she caused quite a stir when she first entered the school."

"When news broke that she was dating Lin Shen, our dorm was almost overrun by people from the surrounding dorms!"

"is it?"

Sun Yue looked at Lin Shen curiously, though her big eyes didn't show much surprise.

After all, he's quite handsome, so he should be a good match for the school beauty.

"I broke up with my boyfriend."

Suddenly, Lin Shen's calm words startled the three people present, and they all looked at him at the same time.

"what happened?"

"I've been cheated on."

!!!

As soon as Lin Shen finished speaking, a pack of tissues appeared in front of him.

Immediately afterwards, Zhao Ye and the other two seemed to have forgotten their own troubles and quickly gathered around Lin Shen, their faces full of curiosity, ready to watch the drama unfold.

"Tell me about it!"

"that is……"

Lin Shen had long since let go of his past experiences, so when he recounted them, he didn't mix in too much personal emotion, treating it as something that had nothing to do with him.

But the other three got angry when they were brought into the situation.

"Three years of relationship couldn't withstand a few days of pursuit from a rich guy? This was clearly premeditated! She probably cheated on him a long time ago."

"Yeah! And that guy actually dared to come to our door and provoke us? If Lin Shen hadn't been so good-tempered, he probably wouldn't have been able to leave the house."

"**!"

Zhao Ye was even more direct, his short and pure curse seemed to encompass all his inner emotions, and he immediately stood up for Lin Shen.

"It's okay, brother. You should think of it this way."

Zhao Ye leaned close to Lin Shen's ear and chuckled.

"You slept with someone else's girlfriend for three years, and she was still a virgin. You got a great deal! You made a killing!"

"..."

Although Zhao Ye's words of comfort were somewhat rough, they were true.

"Enough talk, let's drink!"

Lin Shen raised his glass high, looked around at the three people present, and suddenly a bright and confident smile appeared on his face.

Let's make peace with the past; we're living in the future!
