Chapter 1823: No Self-Determination in Life

Back at the pet shop, Xiaoqin and Xiaoying looked at Jiang Hao and did not come to disturb him. Jiang Hao was very calm, taking care of the cats and dogs, feeding them food and water, cleaning up their feces, and continuing to bathe the cats and dogs when the guests came.

night,

Jiang Hao received another WeChat message from Tang Rourou, "Brother Hao, what are you doing?"

“Taking care of cats and dogs, reading books.”

"Let's go for a morning jog together tomorrow morning?" the little girl said sweetly.

"sure."

The next day.

At around six o'clock in the morning, Jiang Hao got dressed and went out. He jogged all the way to Binjiang Park and stood at the place where he usually met Tang Rourou, waiting for her.

Not long after,

From a distance, I saw a young and pretty little girl running this way.

Jiang Hao took out his mobile phone and dialed 10086 customer service.

Tang Rourou ran into the park and saw Jiang Hao talking on the phone with his back to her. The little girl wanted to scare Jiang Hao and quietly came to him.

Jiang Hao held up the microphone and said softly.

"Why did you get up so early?"

"Are you feeling sick in your stomach? Is that the one coming?"

"Drink more hot water and cover your stomach with a hot water bottle."

"Well, I'll go see you when I'm not busy anymore. Don't be too tired. Also, don't eat spicy food these days, you know." Jiang Hao warned gently.

Tang Rourou was confused when she heard this. She felt that the person on the other end of the phone should be someone very close to Jiang Hao, and she seemed to be a woman.

Could it be family?

younger sister?

Jiang Hao hung up the phone, turned around and saw Tang Rourou, smiled, "You're here."

Tang Rourou blinked her big eyes, "Brother Hao, who was that just now?"

Jiang Hao smiled lightly, "My girlfriend."

Tang Rourou's expression froze and she asked hesitantly, "Do you have a girlfriend? Why haven't I heard you say that before?"

"Haha, you didn't even ask. I'm 27 years old this year. Isn't it normal for me to have a girlfriend?" Jiang Hao said in a relaxed tone.

Tang Rourou suddenly felt like someone had grabbed her heart hard.

It's quite uncomfortable.

"How long have you been in love?" Tang Rourou asked softly.

"It's been several years. I met her in college. After graduation, she found a job in another city. We had no choice but to have a long-distance relationship. She has been on her menstrual period for the past two days and has been feeling a little uncomfortable." Jiang Hao said.

Tang Rourou's face turned a little ugly.

"Brother Hao, I suddenly feel a little unwell. I'm going back first." Tang Rouju said.

"Okay, then you go back and rest." Jiang Hao said.

Tang Rourou left quickly, as if she was escaping. Jiang Hao watched the girl's disappearing back and sighed slightly.

I hope she won't be too sad and will get over it soon.

In fact, it's better for both parties to end it now. Fortunately, we just have a good impression of each other, and we haven't really fallen in love yet. Now that we are separated, the pain of separation is much lighter.

Jiang Hao lowered his head and ran towards the distance.

Running very fast, breathing heavily.

Tang Rourou was very sad. This was the first time she was really attracted to a boy. It could be said to be her first love.

She was moved, but suddenly found out that he had a girlfriend, and she felt so uncomfortable.

All the way home, I quickly went upstairs to my room and lay down on the bed.

Tang's mother was making breakfast when she suddenly heard a noise. She stretched her head out of the kitchen and saw her daughter rushing upstairs quickly.

She knew that her daughter went out for a run in the morning, actually to go on a date with Jiang Hao. When she came back so soon, she could guess that Jiang Hao had probably said something to her daughter.

Quickly put down what you were doing, wash your hands and quickly go upstairs.

Gently pushing the door open, she saw her daughter lying motionless on the bed. She quickly walked over, sat next to her daughter, and patted her back gently.

"Rourou, what's wrong?"

Tang Rourou remained motionless and did not speak.

"Rourou, what's going on? Tell your mother."

Tang Rourou finally stood up, her eyes were a little red. When she saw her mother, she held her mouth and said, "Mom, I'm heartbroken."

"Ah, what's going on?" Tang's mother pretended to be surprised.

"I met a boy before and I thought he was very nice, but today I heard him call and he said he already had a girlfriend. I was so sad."

As Tang Rourou spoke, a pool of spring water gathered in her eyes.

Tang's mother said to herself that it seemed that Jiang Hao had taken all the responsibility on himself. Maybe this was the best way.

Tang's mother quickly hugged her daughter and said softly: "The person you like should be very good. Of course, someone else may also like him. It's normal to have a girlfriend."

"I can only say that you two are not destined to be together."

Tang Rourou rested her head on her mother's shoulder, clinging to her just like she did when she was a child.

"I know Mom, he is indeed very good. I had guessed before that he might have a girlfriend, but when I found out the fact, I still felt very uncomfortable." Tang Rourou choked with sobs.

Mother Tang touched her daughter's hair and said softly: "People are like this sometimes. It's impossible for everything to go as planned. Some things are destined."

"Woooooooo~~!"

Tang Rourou started to cry.

"But Mom, I still feel very uncomfortable. It turns out this is the feeling of falling out of love. It's so uncomfortable." Tang Rourou cried in her mother's arms.

After running wildly, Jiang Hao broke out in sweat. He returned to the pet shop and quickly took a shower to wash away the sweat.

He knew that from now on, he would never have anything to do with that cute girl again.

He was also very sad, but he could only endure this feeling.

During the day, Jiang Hao worked peacefully.

In the evening after get off work.

WeChat did not ring again.

Under the light, Jiang Hao suddenly wanted to sing.

He took out his mobile phone and sat next to the desk lamp. His side face was reflected in the picture, and the upper part was still hidden in the darkness, making his face look half black and half white.

"Who knows that my heart is burning.

Who knows, there is no need to talk anymore.

Still wishing for a lifetime of lack.

I don’t want to expose myself to others anymore.

You will make that person feel lovable.

It changes even every day.”

The song he recorded was "Unable to Determine Yourself in Life" which he had sung to Tang Rourou before. He felt that this song particularly suited his mood now.

sad,

Sad,

No self-determination.

After the recording was completed, Jiang Hao posted it to Douyin, returned to his bed, and recited the Taishang Sutra of Suffering from the Sufferings that he had learned from Old Man Liu in prison.

After reading it several times, Jiang Hao felt that his mood had calmed down a lot. He opened Douyin and found that in just half an hour, the song had been viewed tens of thousands of times, with more than tens of thousands of hearts, and many comments.

"I really like Chen Baiqiang's old song "You Can't Determine Yourself in Life". The singer's singing is really good."

"The shooting angle is very careful, half black and half white, it fits the mood of the song very well."

"I feel a sadness in the singing, which makes people want to cry. Is the broadcaster broken in love?"

Jiang Hao has seen the introduction of the song "You Can't Determine Yourself in Life", which is a song of Chen Baiqiang's later period.

When he was young, Chen Baiqiang and the wealthy woman He Chaoqiong had a vigorous love affair. At that time, everyone in Hong Kong and Macao knew about it.

However, due to the wrong family background, the gambling king was very opposed to it, and in the end the two had to separate. He Chaoqiong married the "playboy" Xu Jinheng.

Chen Baiqiang also attended the wedding.

A year later, Chen Baiqiang committed suicide by drinking alcohol and taking sleeping pills. After rescue, he became a vegetative state and died after sleeping for 17 months.

The marriage between He Chaoqiong and Xu Jinheng only lasted 7 years and ended in divorce. Later, Xu Jinheng married Michelle Reis.

Life.

How many things go your way?

How many things can you completely decide on your own?

There is no self-determination in life!

The days returned to calm.

In the blink of an eye, Jiang Hao had been working in the pet shop for three months. One day, the boss Wang Bin came over with a gloomy expression.

Occasionally I go out to make a phone call, and I don’t know who I have an argument with on the phone. When I come back, I light up a cigarette and smoke hard.

From the content of Wang Bin's phone call, I could vaguely hear something, as if there was a problem with his business outside.

A small loan company was deceived and ran away with the money. Now the money cannot be recovered and tens of millions of funds have been wasted.

Wang Bin was restless in the store and had no intention of running the business. He made another phone call to someone and drove away quickly.

The three people in the store, Jiang Hao, Xiaoqin and Xiaoying, looked at each other.

In the past few months, Wang Bin occasionally came to the store, feeling high-spirited and talking loudly. Xiaoying asked the boss if he had made money. Wang Bin talked about the operation and profits of the small loan company. Later I found out that he had invested in It cost several million, and I don’t know where I borrowed it from.

These are none of Jiang Hao's business. He is the boss and they are just part-time workers. They have no control over what they do.

Besides,

When people make money, they are in high spirits.

A few days later,

Wang Bin returned to the pet shop and called the three people over for a meeting.

Wang Bin looked very haggard, with unconcealed fatigue in his eyes. His hair was not as smooth as before, and he had stubble on his chin.

Looking at the three clerks, Wang Bin said in a deep voice: "Sorry, I have something to announce today, Jiang Hao."

Wang Bin looked at Jiang Hao first, "Jiang Hao, I'm going to fire you."

Jiang Hao was shocked, "What did I do wrong, boss?"

Wang Bin shook his head, "No, to be honest, you did a good job. I fired you just to save costs. To be honest with you, my business has suffered a loss, and now I have no chance of getting my money back. My house is mortgaged and I also borrowed money from others." More than two million, a total of five million holes.”

"From now on, I will do all the grooming, medical care, and care of the pet store myself, so I can make money to fill the gap."

After saying that, he looked at Xiaoying again.

"Xiaoying, I'm sorry, I want to fire you too."

Xiaoying's face suddenly turned ugly.

Wang Bin's method is very simple. Now that life is difficult, he has to make money to pay off his debts. Jiang Hao and Xiaoying's salary is more than 10,000 yuan a month, which is 150,000 to 60,000 yuan a year. He can definitely save this money.

However, the store couldn't afford to have no helpers, so he kept Xiaoqin, who was more stable than Xiaoying.

"Sorry, I'll give you this month's salary and commission later." Wang Bin said.

suddenly.

But Jiang Hao quickly accepted it.

That's how part-time work is, you have to accept changes at any time.

After receiving this month's money, Jiang Hao packed up his things, tied them with ropes and tied them to the back of the battery car, and left the pet store where he had worked for more than three months.

riding a bike,

Jiang Hao was thinking about what to do next.

Find a rental house to stay in first.

What job will you do next to make money?

Continue to run takeaways, or work in other pet stores?

In the more than three months of working in a pet store, his biggest gain is that he has learned a lot about pet raising, training and grooming.

or,

Open a pet shop yourself.

Jiang Hao suddenly came up with this idea.

I went with Wang Bin several times to buy food and supplies for cats and dogs, as well as kittens and puppies, so I became familiar with the basic situation of the pet industry.

He has the skills, but no qualifications in pet medicine, and everything else is fine. It shouldn't be difficult to open a pet shop.

It costs about 60,000 to 80,000 yuan to open a small-scale pet shop, and about 200,000 yuan for a mid-range one. Wang Bin's shop is a mid-range shop, and it also needs to choose a suitable location, preferably near a large high-end residential area, to ensure customer sources.

The biggest problem now is that there is no money.

Where does the money come from?

Jiang Hao wondered if he could apply for a college student entrepreneurship loan?
