Chapter 0001 is quite normal so far

Looking at the somewhat dazed Hao Ren, the short-haired beautiful girl broke into an unprecedentedly radiant silly smile (although it seems somewhat inappropriate to say so, Hao Ren indeed thought it was a silly smile). That smile was clean and pure, something that seems increasingly rare to see on the faces of girls of the same age nowadays. She rummaged through her small bag for quite a while and finally pulled out a crumpled piece of paper to hand to Hao Ren: "Excuse me, do you know where this place is?"

He walked several hundred meters with great enthusiasm before circling around the road's isolation barrier, then, under the blazing sun, he ran to the front of this particularly impressive advertising company. To his astonishment, the company had indeed gone bankrupt; the sign at the entrance was still hanging, but a notice stating "Closed for Good" was affixed to the glass door, dated two days prior, while the job recruitment notice in his hand was dated four days ago. Is this truly a world of rapid and constant change? In this day and age, do companies still recruit two new employees just two days before going out of business to ease their shock?

He eagerly arrived at the city center holding this thing, just to see how shiny the glass door of an advertising company that had been busy recruiting just two days before its closure was, simply overindulged.

The unfamiliar young woman seemed quite at ease, waving her hand while cheerfully greeting herself. Hao Ren suddenly sat up, first surprised as he looked around at the scenery, confirming that it was indeed sunset. He had originally intended to doze for a moment, but had actually slept for half a day. Only then did he have the opportunity to carefully observe the stranger before him. At this moment, the young woman seemed to finally realize that her position against the light made it difficult for others to see her clearly. She smiled broadly and slightly turned her body to allow the other person to see her better.

This is truly a sad story

However, fate does not change according to human will; on that day, he basically just ran around aimlessly... thus, there was nothing left but to run around aimlessly.

He lives in an obscure small town in the north, which could barely be considered under the emperor's feet if Beijing were to plan for a twenty-ring or thirty-ring road. He is a truly ordinary person, and if all the good person cards in the world were to be attributed to him based on homophony, he could barely be said to be famous. Walking down the street, no one recognizes him. With a square face that, aside from having a bit of masculinity, looks utterly ordinary, he has spent over twenty years with the life goal of being a good person, and apart from that, he has no distinguishing features—this is him.

After studying urban planning at home for three days, Hao Ren concluded that the likelihood of his neighborhood transforming into a commercial center overnight was quite low. Considering that, as a grown man, he could not afford to let himself go, he ultimately decided to find a job first, at least to have an income to sustain his living.

Behind her was a large suitcase that appeared to be quite substantial

For several years, Hao Ren has relied on renting out houses for a living. However, due to the remote location of his own residence, which is so far away that it would likely take several decades of planning to wait for the old house to be demolished, his rental income is just average. It is not insignificant, but it certainly does not make him wealthy. It allows this single man to live a relatively comfortable life, but that is about all.

The other party was dressed quite casually, wearing a fitted white short-sleeve shirt adorned with a somewhat childish plastic dog decoration at the collar. On the bottom, she wore dark shorts and casual shoes, resembling a female college student who had sneaked out to shop. This friendly girl had shoulder-length short hair, likely a sports enthusiast, with a slightly tanned complexion that exuded health and sunshine. Her appearance was beautiful and charming, but what stood out the most were her lively big eyes, which were more vibrant than any pair of eyes Hao Ren had ever seen, as if the essence of her entire being was radiating from them.

Hao Ren feels that students these days are becoming increasingly uncommitted. When he was working outside and distributing leaflets, he would never hand such things to men who were clearly single. Nevertheless, this type of rigid leaflet is quite suitable for fanning.

But just as he had barely lain down for what seemed like less than a minute, the sunlight filtering through the edge of the fold had already dimmed, as if someone had come to his side. Hao Ren unexpectedly revealed his face, astonished to find that the sun was already setting on the horizon, and a petite and slender female figure was standing beside him. This figure perfectly blocked the already sinking sun, and due to the backlighting, he could not see the woman's appearance clearly, only confirming through a dim outline that she was a slim girl with short hair.

He came to the city today in search of a job, but in reality, he does not have an urgent need for a source of livelihood: as mentioned earlier, Hao Ren lives in an old house left by his parents, and he should be grateful for the inheritance from the previous generation; at least this house is quite spacious—it's a two-story old house that has been converted into a structure resembling a family rental apartment.

Hao Ren, as his name suggests, is a good person

Hao Ren, male, has a preference for women, is twenty-five years old, has no bad habits, and his strength is that he is not picky about food. He is currently single, has few close friends, and lives alone in an old house left by his parents in the southern part of the city. Like most young men, his life goal is to earn over 10,000 yuan a month by the age of twenty-five, marry a beautiful wife, and if possible, own a car. Since he cannot repay his parents, he believes that at the very least, he must live well enough to avoid bringing shame to his family. He has now accomplished one-third of this series of life goals: he is twenty-five this year.

Hao Ren casually crumpled the job advertisement from the advertising company into a ball and tossed it into the trash can by the roadside. He then looked down at the last one and, after two seconds, crumpled it up and threw it into the same place, reflecting on whether he had been blind when he sifted through these things a couple of days ago—The bus company is hiring an office clerk, requiring candidates aged 25 to 40, who are hardworking, computer literate, and have work experience preferred, with a preference for female candidates

How can one say that in those years, I was also a hardworking man who earned my tuition through labor? In this vast world, how could one possibly starve oneself?

Hao Ren slapped his face to wake himself up, ignoring the clumsy girl for the moment, and looked down at the address on the paper... Oh my, isn't this my own home!

A very beautiful girl—this was Hao Ren's first impression

Thinking too much is of no use, Hao Ren stretched lazily and decided to take a break under the shade of a bench in the small park by the roadside, waiting for the hottest hour of noon to pass before looking for a small restaurant to fill his stomach, and then taking a bus home. Fortunately, this is a small northern city that is hardly even classified as a third-tier city; even though the economy is developing rapidly, it still retains a bit of the leisure and openness characteristic of small places: at least the planning of public land in the city is quite good, with lush trees providing shade, and even in the city center, where every inch of land is precious, there are still many small parks available for rest.

He found a piece of paper to wipe the bench clean, then lay down casually, covering his face with a brochure printed with the logo of a women's hospital and a beautiful girl to shield himself from the sunlight, resting in such an unconcerned manner. Of course, he did not dare to fall asleep completely, as thieves were becoming increasingly common these days, and there were not enough good people to go around. Although he did not have anything valuable in his pocket, it would still be unpleasant to be robbed. He merely intended to take a short nap, at least to dissipate the heat from his body.

It is now the hot season of May and June, and although the weather in the north is somewhat cooler, walking on the road under the blazing sun during the day can be quite irritating. Therefore, in the bustling city center filled with a continuous flow of vehicles, one can hardly see many pedestrians. Among the few pedestrians is a tall young man dressed in a white T-shirt and gray trousers, with an ordinary appearance. Hao Ren clutches a few pieces of paper in his hand, trying to walk in the shade of the trees or the cool spots of the buildings. The honking of cars on the road and the noisy cicadas in the trees create a chaotic atmosphere that can be quite unsettling. However, this disarray seems to have little effect on the young man's mood; he simply keeps his head down and walks silently, occasionally flicking his nearly soaked shirt due to the weather. He then looks down at the items in his hand—two of which are job advertisements, and another is a promotional leaflet handed to him by a student girl when he passed through the square. The leaflet features a beautiful girl with a radiant smile, and below it is printed in large letters: Jinrong Obstetrics and Gynecology Specialty Hospital, specializing in treatment...

"The last two, if they don't work out, then forget it." Hao Ren mumbled to himself as he looked at the last two job advertisements in his hand. Fortunately, these two places were close to each other, allowing him to quickly complete today's "task." One of them was right in front of him, an advertising company that, from its exterior, gave no indication of its actual strength. However, the sign at the entrance was quite striking: Galaxy Media Pan-Cultural Development and Promotion Company. Just hearing that name suggested it was bound to go bankrupt within six months. Hao Ren was drawn to this name, primarily not to apply for a job, but to see what kind of extraordinary person could come up with such a remarkable name for a company.

To speak frankly, with such a stable income, Hao Ren has no need to seek employment. However, this person tends to become a bit pretentious when he has too much free time, always feeling that he should make some effort to broaden his life path. Moreover, there is a more pressing reason—his old house is located in an extremely remote area, almost to the point of being detached from human civilization. Since the last couple of migrant workers moved out of the rental unit, it has been nearly six months without any tenants. Looking at the two-story "apartment" that has been empty for several consecutive months, Hao Ren sincerely realizes one thing: unless urban planning shifts towards his direction, he may truly have no choice but to seek employment in order to survive.

Oh, you are awake
