The second before Lin Jiu swiped her card to enter the company, she was holding in her hand the pan-fried fried rice she bought on the road and eating so much that her mouth was full of soup and water, which attracted the attention of the white-collar workers who were walking around under the elegant office building.

Lin Jiu didn't care about this, the smell of fried food was too tempting... In front of all kinds of delicacies before the end of the world, she was now a hungry refugee who hadn't had enough to eat for five years. It was normal for her to look ugly when eating.

thing.

Lin Jiu wiped the corner of his mouth, threw the tissue into the trash can, took out his access card in the surprised eyes of the bright white-collar workers, and walked into the company carelessly, ignoring the strange looks that fell on him, and went straight to the general manager's office.

"Mr. Li."

Lin Jiu walked into the office and said hello politely. Speaking of which, Mr. Li and Li Chaoyang were kind to her. When Lin Jiu graduated, she had a black eye and rushed to this company to interview her.

It was Li Chaoyang who was still the manager at the time.

Li Chaoyang didn't care about her academic qualifications and kept her and gave her opportunities. And she lived up to his cultivation, and her performance continued to rise.

Lin Jiu really couldn't be cold-hearted towards his seniors who had been promoting and training him.

"Here you come? Sit down."

Li Chaoyang raised his eyes and looked at Lin Jiu, without saying a word for a long time.

"Mr. Li..."

"I saw your resignation application... have you really thought about it?"

"Well, I've thought about it."

Li Chaoyang paused, his eyes were light green and black, and his emotions were a bit complicated. As a leader, of course he knew what happened last night. As a victim, Lin Jiu should not suffer such treatment.

Over the years, he has watched Lin Jiu grow from a newcomer who knew nothing to the backbone of the sales team. He is a person who cherishes talents and is really reluctant to let Lin Jiu leave the company. On the other hand, Lin Jiu's serious and hard-working appearance is also

It touched his heart quite a bit.

It's just that this kind of touching was killed by last night's accident before it even started.

"I'm sorry that you have been wronged. I can transfer you to other branches without affecting your subsequent work."

"Excuse me for your trouble," Lin Jiu's expression relaxed, "I want to go back to my hometown."

Li Chaoyang raised his eyebrows, knowing that Lin Jiu had made up his mind. In order not to make Lin Jiu feel embarrassed, he stopped trying to persuade her.

"You have negotiated a big deal for the company this time. In addition to this month's salary, you will also receive bonuses and commissions." Li Chaoyang signed the resignation report and paused, "It's good to go home and relax.

, the company’s pit is reserved for you.”

"Thank you, Mr. Li."

The commission for this order was 50,000 yuan, which was a big surprise for Lin Jiu. She knew that Li Chaoyang had been extremely kind to her.

"Mr. Li, I'm a little in need of money. Do you think you can..."

"I'll help you with your finances, and the money will arrive within a week."

"Thank you, Mr. Li." Lin Jiu was satisfied and hesitated for a moment before going out. Anyway, it was 100% impossible to see him again in the future, so he reminded Quan Quan to return the favor, "Mr. Li, I think these days, there have been either tsunamis or earthquakes.

Yes, Mr. Li has been preparing more food at home recently, just in case."

"You still believe this, don't worry, thank you for the reminder."

Lin Jiu nodded and walked out of the office. She had already said what needed to be said. It was the other party's business to listen or not. Now she had no time to worry about it.

Lin Jiu returned to the rental house as quickly as possible, packed up a few sports-style clothes, picked up the remaining two bags of instant noodles as quickly as possible, and opened the mobile app to start buying tickets.

After a little tangle, Lin Jiu bought the cheapest hard seat for her trip home that night so that she could return to City Z early the next morning. She had no choice but to save 300,000 yuan, so she could save whatever she could.

The contract for the rental house had just expired in the middle of the month, and the deposit was also a sum of money... The rice and flour that could be bought for three thousand yuan before the end of the world would be a priceless treasure in the end of the world. As a poor man, Lin Jiu did not dare to waste it at all.

Lin Jiu didn't stay long and hurried out, leaving the city where she had worked hard for four years.

z city.

After getting off the train, Lin Jiu finally breathed a sigh of relief as the moist air hit her face.

Lin Jiu took off her scarf, rubbed her eyes that were sore from shopping online all night on the train, and looked at the city in front of her where she had lived for twenty years.

In her previous life, Lin Jiu was very attached to this city, but when she came back here, she just felt it was complicated and unspeakable... As long as she could survive, it didn't matter where she was.

On the way home, Lin Jiu picked up a box of discounted milk that was about to expire at the supermarket. It was easy to give money but difficult to get money. Lin Jiu could think of her face directly reaching out to ask Lin's father and Lin's mother to pay back the money... She had to think of someone else.

trick to get her money back.

The community where the Lin family lives is one of the older communities in Z city. It has the highest five floors and no elevator. The exterior walls of the floors are peeling off and the anti-theft nets of every household are covered with wet clothes.

Although the style of the house is old and rustic, it is very strong and durable. At least this old building was almost unscathed by several small earthquakes in the early days of the end of the world. The glamorous and shoddy construction next door is completely incomparable.

Standing under the door of the unit, Lin Jiu's emotions were surging, and she could not calm down for a long time.

This is the place where she grew up, bearing many of her dissatisfactions, unwillingness, and hatred.

She is also a child of the Lin family, and her younger brother Lin Ye is the treasure of the family. She is just a weed that grows in the cracks in the wall and is rejected as unsightly.

She grew up in the Lin family, which was eccentric to the elbow. How many times did she ask questions loudly that were about to break through her throat, but they were all lost in Mother Lin's cold and disgusting eyes.

Although she was born a quarter of an hour later than Lin Ye, she became the sister who had to tolerate everything and supported her brother wholeheartedly...

A person who has never been loved takes it for granted even if she is bullied and suppressed everywhere. The influence of her native family on Lin Jiu eventually led to her tragic death after she was no longer of use value in her previous life.

Lin Jiu suppressed her surging emotions and tried her best not to show that anything was wrong. She was still the same honest and kind Lin Jiu who allowed others to take advantage of her.

The Lin family was on the second floor. It was still early, so Lin's father, Lin's mother, and Lin Ye should all be at home. Lin Jiu stood in front of the door, dragging a cheap suitcase, and knocked on the Lin's door.

As the eldest daughter of the Lin family, she had been driven to live in the small courtyard left by her grandma in the villages surrounding Z City in order to free up a study room for Lin Ye since she was in junior high school. The place where the old man lived during his lifetime was completely undecorated, and the only remaining

Several pieces of furniture had a lingering musty smell, and it took up to an hour to take the bus to school every day, and she slept there alone for 6 years.

The door opened with a creak, and Lin Jiu raised his head with the same gentle smile on his face.

"mom."

"Why are you back? If you don't work hard outside, why are you back?!"

The wrinkles between Mother Lin's brows could almost kill a fly, and her disgusted expression barely subsided when she saw the milk in Lin Jiu's hand.

"I resigned."

Lin Jiu came in, and as expected, Lin Ye was sitting on the sofa with Xu Chuchu, scrolling through his mobile phone. He didn't even raise his eyes when Lin Jiu came in.

Xu Chuchu... Lin Jiu's eyes darkened. It turned out that Xu Chuchu was already at the Lin family.

Xu Chuchu, as her name suggests, is beautiful, with clear and bright eyes, fair and smooth skin, and she looks pitiful. But this is the woman in front of her who stole her boyfriend Chen Yi away. She even did not hesitate to join forces with Lin Ye to kill herself.

However, Lin Jiu is still confused as to why Xu Chuchu wanted to kill her at that time.

Her parents have become Xu Chuchu's parents-in-law, her brother has become Xu Chuchu's husband, and her boyfriend has become Xu Chuchu's second lover. She has nothing left!

What was Xu Chuchu planning at that time?

Lin Jiu took a deep breath and looked away from her overly focused gaze. She repeatedly emphasized in her heart that the purpose of her visit was that she was only here to get money. As for the others... without her, would these selfish ghosts survive in the end of the world?

Both have to be said.

Father Lin must have worked the night shift yesterday and was sitting at the dining table smoking a cigarette. He raised his head when he saw Lin Jiu coming back.

"Xiaojiu is back, why did you resign?"

"Who knows why she is so crazy? She has had such a bad temper since she was a child...Son, Chu Chu, come and have breakfast quickly and ignore her."

Mother Lin cursed and brought out four pieces of breakfast from the kitchen, obviously not Lin Jiu's, and quickly placed the first piece of porridge in front of Xu Chuchu.

"Thank you, auntie." Xu Chuchu held the edge of the bowl with both hands and thanked her obediently.

"Child Chu Chu, why are you so polite? Chu Chu, did you go to see your father-in-law last week?"

A dim light flashed across Xu Chuchu's eyes, and when she raised her face again, she had the reserved look of a lady, which made Lin Jiu gag.

"I saw...Dad has been busy with construction in the city recently. He said that he can take me back after this incident is over."

"Okay, okay, good boy, eat quickly." Mother Lin heard the answer she wanted, her old face smiled brightly, and her eyes looked at Xu Chuchu like a golden mountain.

Originally she did not agree with her son taking Xu Chuchu home casually, but when she learned that Xu Chuchu had no money and still asked to buy a house at home and get married, she gave her a look for more than half a month.

It wasn't until she learned about Xu Chuchu's life experience that Mother Lin realized that her family had found a treasure, and she was particularly attentive to her.

Lin Jiu really didn't have time to watch this family perform a big show in front of her. Her purpose today was to "cheat" her money back.

"I didn't quit on purpose, but now there are better opportunities to make money. I felt that the work was too tiring and I didn't make much, so I quit."

As soon as Lin Jiu finished speaking, Mother Lin hesitated, then turned around and went to the kitchen to bring out a bowl of porridge and put it on the coffee table in front of Lin Jiu.

"What opportunity to make money? Don't be fooled."

"How could it be possible? Mom, it's Mr. Li, our general manager. You know him, right? He's so rich that he doesn't care about my little money."

"Tell me, how can you make money?"

Lin Ye took a fried dough stick from the table, arranged his neatly trimmed short hair with one hand, and finally gave Lin Jiu a look.

"Didn't I give my mother 300,000 yuan a few days ago? I want to get it back for urgent use."

"Don't even think about that 300,000 yuan. That's the down payment to buy a wedding house for your brother and Chu Chu's wedding!" Mother Lin's face immediately dropped when she heard that Lin Jiu was planning on the 300,000 yuan.

"Yes, that's the money for my wedding room. You gave it to me. What do you mean by asking for it back?!"

Lin Ye immediately stood on the united front with Lin's mother, turning their heads like a book.
