After Wang Yiyuan finished his training in the factory workshop, the company arranged for him to intern with Du Yule, an old businessman. According to traditional customs, Wang Yiyuan called Du Yule as his master.

Master Du Yule is a middle-aged older sister in her forties, from Shanghai. She turned out to be a driving worker in a state-owned textile factory in Puxi. She was laid off from the company many years ago. She was forced to make a living and worked in many industries, worked as a handyman, and even set up street stalls by herself. Although she never made any money, she developed her unyielding, cheerful and bold personality.

Du Yule later introduced her, and she resolutely worked as a salesperson in a printing factory in Pudong. Instead of thinking, she slowly started working. She was very prosperous in business and was called Iron Lady in the industry. Two years ago, her husband was transferred to Hongqiao International Airport for work. In order to facilitate family care, she followed her job to Taiwan and Shanghai Company.

First at the company, the master Du Yule taught Wang Yiyuan some basic business knowledge, mainly the basic concepts of paper products and packaging materials of different styles, different papers, and different processes, and the calculation methods and methods of quotation.

After Wang Yiyuan mastered these basics, Du Yule then took him out for two weeks to go out for business, teaching him some common methods and techniques for finding customers, the delivery time, delivery method, and the basic business processes of the company's products, etc., and also briefly introduced to Wang Yiyuan some other famous printing companies in Shanghai and their related products, competitive advantages, etc. to some basic situations related to the business.

Du Yule is an enthusiastic person and has had his own business experience. So he is full of sympathy as an elder sister. He thinks it is very difficult for Wang Yiyuan to be alone in Shanghai, so he basically did not retain it when teaching Wang Yiyuan, and he was fully imaginative and longing for the work of the upcoming salesperson. He learned very seriously and carefully. Sometimes he was afraid that he would forget it, so he took out a small notebook from time to time and wrote a few words.

Wang Yiyuan was eating and living in the factory at this time. The dormitory of the printing factory of the Taihu Company was a mezzanine-covered top of the back road workshop. The dormitory room was made of small lattice rooms made of wooden boards and gypsum board, without windows. Because the roof was not insulated and ventilated, the room was particularly cold in winter and extremely stuffy in summer. Although the boss took care of Wang Yiyuan and let him live in a single room, he soon encountered many problems and felt very uncomfortable and bored.

First of all, you have to endure the noises made by various machines in the factory day and night, the sounds of people coming and going, and the sounds of talking. Especially the production department's work is two shifts, and the shift is handed over at midnight. All these sounds penetrate the thin simple wall panels late at night, making it particularly clear. When Wang Yiyuan had something to worry about one day and was already unable to sleep, it was even more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, as if a handful of small hammers were hitting his fragile nerves.

Secondly, because he is the only one living in the company's business department, he often encounters things that are not accurate in production in the workshop, such as color matching, proofing, splicing size, etc. Manager Ding often calls him, even if Wang Yiyuan is unwilling to do so, he can only put on his clothes and go downstairs obediently.

So later, when Wang Yiyuan heard Manager Ding's rich Taichung accent Mandarin during the day, he instantly felt that his voice seemed to be infinitely amplified, buzzing in his ears, and felt a very uncomfortable feeling for no reason, and even a hint of disgust.

So, Wang Yiyuan wanted to take advantage of the opportunity when he had just started doing business and had some freedom in time, so he had the idea of ​​moving out of the factory.

Regarding moving out of the factory, Wang Yiyuan actually knew in his heart that these were not the most important things, they were just some superficial reasons. The real and main reason was the heavy anxiety and panic that Wang Yiyuan had increasingly felt in recent times, especially since he had been determined to leave Ningbo and Shanghai at the beginning of the year.

By the end of December next year, Wang Yiyuan would be thirty years old. In the "Analects of Confucius", Confucius said that a man was at thirty, which refers to the ideal life state that a man should achieve when he was thirty. That is to say, a man in his thirty years old should be able to rely on his own abilities to independently bear the responsibilities he should bear, and has determined his life goals and development direction. In the thirty years of doing things and Yu Li, Wang Yiyuan even clearly remembered that there was such a sentence in his Chinese language books in junior high school.

Simply put, at the age of thirty, people should be able to face all difficulties calmly. On the contrary, in reality, Wang Yiyuan only felt the rapid loss of youth, the fleeting time, and the gradual vicissitudes in his eyes.

However, for a man, starting a family and supporting his family, he has not achieved the same achievement. What's more serious is that he seems to be quite far away and vague from these things, and he doesn't even have any shadows. He doesn't know if he will realize it in the future and whether it can be achieved.

In other words, he is eager to change now, at least he wants to become better than himself now, even if there is only a trace of hope or a ray of hope.

To put it bluntly, he needs opportunities, and to have opportunities, he needs to have more contact with the outside world and have a certain degree of freedom. Moving out of the factory was the basic realistic ideas and needs that Wang Yiyuan could think of at that time.

Later, through a colleague from the company, Wang Yiyuan moved to this small courtyard on Xingzhan Road, Qibao Town. This is a standard old-style Shanghai farmhouse courtyard close to Wubao Road. The courtyard has white walls and black tiles and two-story buildings.

There is a well dug by the landlord to the west of the yard. There is no shortage of water in Shanghai. Water will seep out after two meters of digging the ground. However, this well is not only very deep, but also fine white sand is placed at the bottom of the well, so the water brought up is very clear, and it is warm in winter and cool in summer.

The landlord's family is four, an old lady, a landlord and a couple, and their daughter, and the whole family occupied the hall and kitchen downstairs, as well as the two bedrooms upstairs. Because it is profitable, the landlord converted the two sides of the yard into two rows of simple asbestos tiled houses. In this way, they used the remaining rooms upstairs and downstairs. There were more than ten rooms in the yard for rent.

The rent is not expensive, depending on the size, it can range from 300 to 600 yuan to 600 yuan. Each room uses a fire meter separately, and a simple stove is also built at the door. The tap water is connected to more than ten small faucets under a large water pipe. Each faucet is equipped with a water meter and numbered for each company to use separately.

After leaving the courtyard, turn left along Xingzhan Road and walk 50 meters away, Wubao Road. At that time, Wubao Road, especially from Wuzhong Road to the small section of Huqingping Highway, was connected to Hongqiao International Airport and Oriental International Trade Wholesale Market at one end, and to the Taiwan-funded enterprise Taishang Candy, a large factory of the Taiwan-funded enterprise Taishang Candy.

This narrow street, which is only about one thousand meters in total, is full of houses in which Wang Yiyuan lives. Although the alleys are narrow and narrow, dense, and sewage flows everywhere, it is bustling with traffic due to cheap rent and convenient living conditions.

The whole street is like a huge container, covering all aspects of daily life, full of piles of shops, restaurants of all kinds of flavors across the country, entertainment venues with different consumption levels and needs, and miniature factories and warehouses that can be found here. It is relatively easy to find a job as long as you are not picky.

Of course, the important thing is that everything you have here is super cheap. The rent is cheap, daily necessities are cheap, the meals are cheap, the bath is cheap, and even the lady xx is cheap. Wang Yiyuan bought an 80% new Giant bicycle at a car repair stall for 30 yuan.

It seems that at every moment, countless outsiders are flocking here, including peddlers, mud craftsmen, white-collar workers with glamorous appearance and exhausted hearts, all kinds of so-called bosses who are arrogant and lack confidence, as well as those who come and go to deliver express delivery, even chefs, monks, nuns, beggars and wanderers, medicines and fortune tellers, there are too many people here, from morning to night, full of shouts coming and going, one after another, and all are bustling, chaotic and crowded.

And at night, this place became a paradise on earth, with neon lights flashing, smoke and dust rising everywhere, intoxicated by the rich, and the sound of people was filled with people. All the men and women from all walks of life, and the heroes of the green forest seemed to be lifted up.

Wang Yiyuan later missed the days of living in this small courtyard. In the second floor of this small courtyard, Wang Yiyuan stayed here for more than a year and a half. Most of the time, he only had a simple radio and books to accompany him, occasionally there was the sunshine scattered from the gap between the buildings and the moonlight that crawled in from the window at night. Outside the window, there was a life full of noise and turbulence.

Many people may find it difficult to imagine that in this glamorous and beautiful city of Shanghai, there is a type of people, perhaps in these urban villages separated from us, living freely and barbaric in the sticky and humid air. They have lost, confused, or sick, dead, wandering, pauses, growth and running, persistence, enlightenment and disillusionment. They use their own way of survival to tell the fate of people we do not want to explore in depth.

Those people and things that happen here at all times, whether seen with your own eyes or heard about it, have made Wang Yiyuan have more understanding of life and life, and has a little more expectation for his future.
