    ?

    The size of Yanjing is beyond imagination.

    Standing on the square of Yanjing West Railway Station, watching the bustling crowds of people, Xu Yishan feels as if he has been separated from the world.

    Nearly eight years have passed since he first came to Yanjing.

    When Xu Yishan came to Yanjing for the first time, he was just about to graduate.

    Hu Jin invited him to go to Yanjing for a few days together, Xu Yishan readily agreed.  That time, he spent four days in Yanjing, eating and drinking at Hu Jin's house.

    The people of Hu Jin's family were very enthusiastic about him as a guest from other places, and his parents even specially invited him to Quanjude for a meal.

    Before going, Xu Yishan was still thinking, what great delicacy can a duck have?  It wasn't until he ate a duck to pieces in Quanjude that he realized that any seemingly ordinary food would become the best in the world in the hands of culinary experts.

    Xu Yishan didn't know what Hu Jin's parents did, and he didn't ask.  But looking at his father's stately appearance and his mother's dignified beauty, one can feel that Hu Jin's family is by no means an ordinary family.

    Hu Jin¡¯s family lived in a courtyard. Xu Yishan remembered that when he stepped into his courtyard, he joked with Hu Jin, ¡°Hu Jin, your family only lives in a bungalow? Why don¡¯t you buy a big elevator building?¡±

    Hu Jin told him with a smile at the time that his family was just an ordinary family and had no money to buy it.

    Many years later, Xu Yishan found out that the people who lived in independent courtyard houses in Yanjing were either rich or noble.

    Bai Yu asked Xu Yishan: "Where are we going?"

    Xu Yishan thought for a while and said, "Find a place to settle down first."

    It is too expensive to live in a hotel in Yanjing, and the starting price of the cheapest hotel is more than 500 yuan.  This is still the price in the off-season. If it is in the peak season, it will be hard to find a room.

    Ali looked at the bustling metropolis, and said in amazement: "Oh, Yanjing is really big, at least a hundred times bigger than our Hongshan Town."

    Xu Yishan wanted to laugh, the one hundred Hongshan towns mentioned by Ali are probably only half the size of Yanjing.  Ali has never traveled far before, and since she married Wang Meng, she has never been to Hongshan Town, not even Maoshan County, the county seat.

    Bai Yu was still sulking about the locked door of the soft sleeper compartment on the train.

    Of course, everyone pretended that this incident never happened, and no one mentioned it.  Zhang Zhiyuan, on the other hand, seemed much more attentive than when he got in the car.  Like a servant, he carefully served Xu Yishan and the three of them, serving tea and water, running errands to buy food, until he got off the car.

    Zhang Zhiyuan was picked up by someone. Seeing that Xu Yishan and the three of them were still in place, he warmly invited them to go to the hotel he had booked in advance to rest.

    Bai Yu asked, "How much does your hotel cost for one night?"

    Zhang Zhiyuan stretched out a palm and shook it and said, "Not much, just five thousand."

    "Five thousand yuan?" Bai Yu exclaimed, and said hastily, "Forget it, we won't go, we can't afford it."

    Zhang Zhiyuan said: "When you are away from home, don't treat yourself badly. Besides, you are on business, and you don't have to pay for the accommodation yourself. Why don't you go live?"

    Bai Yu went to see Xu Yishan.

    Xu Yishan thought to himself, I don't have five thousand yuan in my pocket, how can I get there?  But he didn't want to lose face in front of Zhang Zhiyuan.  Everyone came from Hengyue City. Zhang Zhiyuan is just a vice president of the Road and Bridge Company. He is also a deputy mayor of the government. If he can live, why can't he live?

    Thinking about it, after all, there was not enough money in his pocket, so he shirked and said: "We have someone to arrange."

    Zhang Zhiyuan heard that they were arranged, so he stopped inviting them.

    He walked a few steps, turned around and waved to them.  Xu Yishan asked casually, "Who is Mr. Zhang's name?"

    Bai Yu shook her head, "You didn't call me."

    Standing aside, Ali blushed and said in a low voice, "Did he call me?"

    Bai Yu snorted, "If I didn't call you, who else would I call? Don't go over there."

    Ali really didn't dare to go there.  Seeing that no one was passing by, Zhang Zhiyuan had no choice but to turn around and come back, and said with a sneering smile, "I want to have a few words with Ali, okay?"

    He took Ali aside, and the two whispered a few words, Xu Yishan saw Zhang Zhiyuan handing Ali a wad of money.  But he kept silent, pretending he didn't see it, and turned his eyes elsewhere.

    As soon as Zhang Zhiyuan left, Xu Yishan's decision came out.

    They went to live in the basement.

    The cheapest hotel in Yanjing should be the basement.

    The basement was dug during the air defense in the past, and it is spread all over the underground of Yanjing.  Because the probability of modern warfare happening is very small, it is a pity that the basement is unused, so some people use it toThe lower room was made into a small hotel.

    Sure enough, it only cost more than one hundred yuan a night.

    The basement is well ventilated and the lights are bright. The only regret is that it feels damp everywhere.

    Ali kept complaining, saying that since she came to Yanjing, the place she lived in was not as good as her home in Hongshan Town.

    Bai Yu didn't say anything, but when Ali complained, she frowned impatiently and said, "If you despise this place, why don't you stay with Zhang Zhiyuan in a five-star hotel?"

    Ali blushed instantly, and said in a low voice: "I have nothing to do with him, why should I live with him? I won't go."

    ? Xu Yishan planned that after the accommodation was settled, he would first contact Hu Jin to see where he was and if he was free to meet him.

    There are two rooms, one for Baiyu and Ali, and one for him alone.  The rooms are next door to each other.

    After entering the room, the dampness became more and more serious.  It seems that water will leak out of the walls, as if mold has deteriorated. If there is a seed, just press it on the wall and it will grow out.

    The room couldn't be smaller, with a bed, a small table, and a chair that looked unstable.

    The room has no bathroom and no windows. Once the door is closed, it is a completely closed space.

    Bai Yu soaked a bowl of noodles and brought them over. She looked at Xu Yishan's room, and said with a smile: "I never thought that the mighty Mayor Xu of our Hongshan Town would live in the basement, and his spirit is commendable."

    Xu Yishan smiled and said: "Isn't it because I have no money? I know how to enjoy money. Doesn't Zhang Zhiyuan live in a hotel worth 5,000 yuan a night? If I want money, I can live in a hotel worth 10,000 yuan a night."

    Bai Yu shook his head and comforted him, "How can you have the same vision as him? You live in a 20-story building, and he lives in a bungalow, so your vision is not at the same level. Zhang Zhiyuan is a nouveau riche, bold and bold.  Hei, can you be like him?"

    Xu Yishan smiled and said: "That's right. I'm a cadre, I can't enjoy myself, I should talk about dedication. Besides, we're only staying here temporarily. Isn't it just a place to sleep? When you close your eyes, it's all the same. But, I'm wronging you, Miss Bai.  gone."

    Bai Yu smiled, "Don't think about it too much, where is it different? As long as I live with you, I will feel at ease."

    After chatting for a while, Bai Yu got up to take his leave and went back to his room.

    Everyone on the train didn't sleep well, firstly, the berth was too narrow, and secondly, there was a lot of traffic on the train, making noise unavoidable.  Even so, a person like Yishan who sleeps so well that he can fall asleep as soon as his head hits the pillow cannot normally sleep until dawn.

    Sleeping on the train can only be done in a daze, not deep sleep.

    After more than 20 hours of long-distance travel, everyone was exhausted.

    Xu Yishan made up his mind, took a nap, made up for the sleep in the car, and went directly to Hu Jin's finance department to find him after waking up.

    He ate the instant noodles that Bai Yu brought over in three or two bites, and just as his head hit the pillow, he heard a violent knock on the door.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
