Chapter 1 Occasion CD
Lin Fenglei is a standard Loser.
The nameis very imposing. He knows that his parents have high expectations for him. He has been smart and sensible since he was a child. He is the apple of the eyes of the whole family and has been living a carefree and happy life. Unfortunately, this kind of life is gone forever after his parents died in a car accident when he was ten years old. His parents are both only children. His grandmother, grandfather and grandmother have suffered the impact of losing their children. Within a few years, he was depressed one after another. Only his grandfather was alone to pull him to the age of 22. After graduating from a second-rate university, he also died, leaving him a house in this small inland city. His old house is still old.
Lin Fenglei took over his grandfather's affairs with the help of his neighbors and began to look for a job. However, the university he graduated from did not have any reputation. His major was also bad street marketing. It was not easy to find a good job. In the end, he only entered a small private company in his hometown to do a business. Staff, the basic salary of a month is only 1,000 yuan. If there is no order, there is no commission, but at least the house can live in your own, saving a rent of 1,000 yuan can make do with it.
Speaking of which, although Lin Fenglei studied marketing, he is really not suitable for sales, because since his parents died overnight, his personality has changed and he has become taciturn. This personality is really not suitable for the sales industry that often makes strange visits and has to be familiar with each other, but Fortunately, he has another advantage, that is, he can endure hardships. In the days when he was dependent on his grandfather, what kind of hardships did he suffer? Therefore, after working in the company for more than a year, his performance has also been growing. Although the growth rate is very small, his income is at least close to 2,000 a month. Just as he was full of hope, he fantasized that his sales performance had increased significantly. When he became the sales manager of the company, he was fired because of the public The company's performance has not been good, and he can't afford to raise so many people. In fact, Lin Fenglei knew that he must be the boss's brother-in-law who was in the sales department last month who wanted to rob him. As a result, he did not succeed because the customer valued Lin Fenglei's maturity and stability. This was not Lin Fenglei's fault, but he also offended the old man. Ban's brother-in-law, at that time, he thought it was not a big deal, but he didn't expect revenge to come so soon.
After losing his job, Lin Fenglei submitted a lot of resumes, but there was no reply. There was a lack of highlights in his resume. After staying idle at home for more than a month, a bigger blow came one after another. His girlfriend Xiaoxia, who had been dating for three or four years, broke up with him. She cried and told Lin Fenglei that her mother had found a civil servant for her and said that the civil servant could give her a more stable and better life. She really couldn't help it. After listening to her crying, Lin Fenglei was silent. What could he say? Say that you can give her a better life in the future? Yes, I have the confidence to change my current life, but how long will it take? Can she afford to wait? She and he are college classmates. Now they are not young. Women's youth is easy to die, so he has nothing to say, and he is not ready to pester. Since his parents' accident, his self-esteem has become very strong. He accepted the fact calmly.
After Xiaoxia left, he felt a cone pain in his heart. The pain tore his liver and lungs made him almost unable to breathe. He loved Xiaoxia deeply and was ready to spend his life with her, but now, he has lost her and her forever, and his heart seems to be torn in half. This pain was unbearable for him. He felt that he needed something to anesthetize himself, so he stood up, staggered downstairs, bought a bottle of strong liquor and a bag of peanuts, returned home one cup after another, and quickly drank a bottle of liquor clean. He was unconscious drunk before.
After he woke up, it was already late at night outside. He took out his mobile phone and looked at it. It was past eleven o'clock in the evening. He felt that his stomach was burning, and then he felt hungry. Since he stayed at home, his diet is not very regular. He seldom eats breakfast in the morning. This morning, he didn't eat breakfast. He drank so much wine on an empty stomach and slept for a whole day. He didn't eat anything. It's strange that he wasn't hungry.
He got out of bed and stood on the ground. He shook his body and almost fell down. He smiled bitterly. The wine is really not a good thing, and he can't drink like this in the future. He washed his cold face and woke himself up. He planned to go out to the street to buy some food to fill his stomach.
Walking on the street, Lin Fenglei didn't find a small restaurant that opened for a long time. In this small inland city, the nightlife is not as rich as the big city. Now it is winter again. There are fewer restaurants that open in the middle of the night, and supermarkets, commissary and so on also close early. After walking several streets, Lin Fenglei, who was no longer expected and was about to go home for a night of hunger, suddenly saw a dim yellow light on the corner of the street, which seemed to be steaming. He was overjoyed and walked over quickly.
When I approached, an old man with gray hair was guarding a wonton stall. Seeing Lin Fenglei coming, there was a trace of hope in the old man's turbid eyes: "Come and eat a bowl of wonton. It's hot to eat on such a cold day."
Looking at the old man's gray hair, his hands in his sleeves, and his trembling body in the cold wind, Lin Fenglei seemed to see his grandfather, and his eyes were wet. He took a deep breath, calmed down, and said in a calm voice as possible, "Give me a bowl."
After the old man brought a good wonton, Lin Fenglei ate one. The taste of the wonton was as good as he expected. The skin was thin and the filling was big, and the taste was delicious. He was so hungry that he almost swallowed his tongue. He swallowed a bowl of wonton into his belly like a cloud, and suddenly felt warm and hungover. The discomfort was much better, but he was not full, so he asked the old man to give him another bowl.
He didn't eat the second bowl of wontons as fast as he did when he ate the first bowl. As he ate it, he asked the old man, "Old man, the wonton you made is so delicious, but why did you come out to set up a stall so late?"
The old man sighed: "There are too many stalls during the day. I, an old man, can't beat them. Besides, there are urban management. It's an exclusive business at night.
Lin Fenglei looked around and said, "But how can anyone come out to eat at night?"
The old man said, "There is a factory near here. The workers work three shifts, and in another half an hour, there will be a group of workers who work late at night. Most people have to pass by here. At that time, there will be business. The wontons I pack are often not enough to sell."
Only then did Lin Fenglei suddenly realize. When he finished eating the second bowl of wontons, he felt that someone was seven or eight full, and he was embarrassed to ask for another bowl, so he got up to pay the bill. But he touched his whole body and couldn't find the change, so he had to take out a 100-yuan bill from his wallet and handed it to the old man. The old man was embarrassed and said, "Two bowls of wontons are only 6 yuan. How can I have so much change for you? Why don't you come back tomorrow?" With that, he wanted to hand back the 100 yuan to Lin Fenglei.
Lin Fenglei didn't want it. As soon as he met, he felt close to this old man who looked like his grandfather. There must be some difficulties for the old man to set up a stall in such a cold weather. How could he eat wonton without paying? He pushed the old man's hand away with a smile and said, "Forget it, old man, you can take this 100 yuan. At worst, next time I come to eat wontons, you won't charge my money." With that, I wanted to leave quickly.
Tears welled up in the old man's turbid eyes. He looked at Lin Fenglei's back and suddenly remembered something. He stopped Lin Fenglei, then caught up with him, took out all the change of about 40 yuan on his body and handed it to Lin Fenglei, and then took out a CD from his clothes and gave it to Lin Fenglei.
Lin Fenglei took the CD and saw that it was an installation CD of FM2009. He asked strangely, "Old man, why do you have such a CD?"
The old man's eyes flashed with tears: "This CD is my grandson's favorite game. His parents were gone. I raised him. But the year before last, he disappeared, and I couldn't find it. Later, some people said that they seemed to have seen him here, so I came here to look for it and set up a stall to earn some living expenses. I can't take too many things when I go out, so I take my grandson's favorite things with me to remember. I don't have money to change the 100 yuan you gave me today. I don't have any other valuables on me. I'll give you this. I'm about the same age as my grandson. I think you also like to play games.
Lin Fenglei hurriedly refused: "This is one of your thoughts. How can I have it?"
The old man said, "I haven't found him for almost two years since I came here. My health is getting worse and worse, and I don't know if I can find him. I also think about it. If I can find him, nothing is as important as him. If I can't find him, it's useless for me to keep this. It's better to give it to you so that I don't feel sad every time I see him."
Lin Fenglei was silent for a while, then put the CD into his pocket, put the change back into the old man's hand and said, "Okay, I'll take this CD, and I'll give you the change later. I will often come to you for wontons. I will return the CD to you when you find your grandson. After saying that, he turned around and left quickly.
When he got home, he planned to go to bed, but he was not sleepy after sleeping all day, so he took out the CD given by the old man. In the past, he liked to play games very much. He also played the FM Football Manager series, but later, under the pressure of work and life and the supervision of his girlfriend, he had several I haven't played games in the past year. But now, it's okay to play again, he thought to himself.
He opened the computer and put it on the CD. He installed the game familiarly, entered the game, and logged in to the head coach with his own name and information. He had never played the 09 version of FM. In order to familiarize himself with the operating environment, he chose to randomly choose a club to start the game. As soon as he clicked to start the game, he heard a "Welcome to the FM world" from his headphones, and his eyes darkened, and he was unconscious again.
