Chapter 55: A Complete Loser
Chen Long followed Li Feng into the small restaurant and sat down at a corner table.
The shopkeeper came up with a stir-fry menu and asked them to order and stir-fry.
"Come on, let me have some of your favorite bars to eat. Li Feng handed the menu to Long Chen.
"No, no, I won't order, I'd better let you order. Actually, I really don't know how to drink, just now, it's just...... I just feel that I have never failed in my life, and I have never been depressed in my heart,...... So, I didn't know why, so I bought a bottle of wine and drank it...... Alas, let's not talk about it, you can just order something you like, and leave me alone. Long Chen felt like he was babbling nonsense.
"Alright then, if you don't order it, I'll order it. Li Feng picked up the menu and looked at it, then said to the shopkeeper, "Let's have braised pork ribs, steamed fish, kung pao chicken, and a conch mustard soup, three dishes and one soup." ”
"Okay, you two wait a minute, we'll have it ready for you in the kitchen. The shopkeeper made a note of the dishes he ordered and left.
Looking at Long Chen's flushed face and smelling the smell of wine, Li Feng hurriedly went to the front desk to make him a cup of hot tea for him to drink.
After taking a few sips of hot tea, Long Chen said ashamedly: "I came out of the hospital this afternoon, and I couldn't stick to it, I'm really ashamed of your kindness to me, I'm really sorry for you......"
"Well, nothing, I see. You drink tea to relieve the alcohol first...... Let's not talk about this now, let's talk about it after we eat, otherwise it will affect the meal. Li Feng hurriedly comforted him and stopped him.
"Oh, okay. ”
...... The shopkeeper quickly finished the ordered dishes and served them on the table.
Chen Long put the leftover Sanhua wine he had just drunk on an empty stomach at the bottom of the table slightly, filled a big bowl of rice and ate it with a big gulp of hot dishes, looking at his embarrassed eating appearance, it seemed that he was really hungry!
Compared to Li Feng, I haven't eaten much in half a bowl of rice, which really makes people feel incredible!
"I'm sorry that my hungry look and gobbling up made you laugh...... However, the meal was delicious!"
After Chen Long finished the last bite of rice in the bowl and chewed and swallowed it, he wiped the rice grains and oil stains stuck to his mouth with his hand, and smiled at Li Feng with a very satisfied and stupid look.
"Don't rush, eat slowly...... Hehe, this meal tastes much better than the cafeteria in the hospital, right?"
"Of course...... In fact, these days, I almost always eat pickles and steamed buns. Chen Long said directly without concealment, his eyes were still staring at the plates of food on the table, so he couldn't help but pick up the bowl and stood up and said, "I'm not afraid of you laughing, I'll make another half bowl of rice, this dish tastes really good!"
"Hehe, you don't need to be polite to me, you can eat if you want, anyway, you can eat, don't count the money. Seeing him eat so appetizingly, Li Feng was naturally happy.
After eating another half bowl of rice, under Li Feng's repeated requests, Chen Long unceremoniously swept all the dishes on his plate! He ate a full meal that he hadn't had in an unknown amount of time, and even hiccuped......
"Li Feng, I thank you very much for inviting me to such a good meal, and today's unpleasant mood is basically gone. ”
"yes, then you can tell me about today's situation, what happened today?"
"I don't know if you went to the hospital this afternoon or if they called to tell you, Aunt Lu put in the bag in the ward this afternoon, a gold and diamond necklace worth more than 20,000 yuan is missing, they insist that I stole it......"
Chen Long began to recount today's events with a face full of grievances.
Li Feng didn't interrupt him, but looked at him intently, trying to figure out his inner world through his expression and words......
“...... To be honest, Aunt Lu forgot her bag in the ward today, and I haven't noticed it, let alone touched her bag...... I really can't imagine that I would be involved in such a thing, and I can't wash it by jumping into the Yellow River!"
"Then, Long Chen, in view of my trust and help to you, I am now very serious about asking you, have you ever got it, I hope you can answer me honestly!" Li Feng's face suddenly became serious.
"Do you think I'm going to steal it?
"Don't ask me, I just need you to answer me directly!"
"No!" Chen Long replied firmly as he looked at her serious expression, "I haven't even seen a shadow...... More than 20,000 yuan gold and diamond necklace, I really can't imagine what it looks like......"
"Very well, you don't need to say anything else, since you're sure you didn't get it, I'll believe what you say...... Then, why don't you ask for the escort salary during this time?"
"Hehe, what's the pay...... Can I still ask for it? It's good that people don't hold me accountable for compensation!"
"Didn't the police call the police?...... It's only reasonable that you've been working hard these days to get the wages you deserve. ”
“...... Alas, don't say it, I think I'm unlucky......"
"Are you embarrassed to ask for it, or are you afraid to ask for it for another reason...... Then I'll help you get this salary, okay?"
"Forget it, Li Feng, thank you very much for your kindness to help me, I think this matter has passed like this, what is my salary, Aunt Lu lost such a valuable necklace, and the loss is already very large. I'll forget it......" Chen Long said and shook his head helplessly.
"Alas......" Looking at his helpless appearance, Li Feng sighed, "Then what will you do in the future?"
Chen Long lowered his head in frustration, pondered for a moment, and then said to himself with emotion: "Alas, I am really a failure, I have never failed." This time I came to the provincial capital, thinking that I could find a job to earn money, earn money and send it home, but after coming out for so long, the money was not earned, but it caused so many things, and I was in debt...... To this day, I really don't know whether I should go back to the countryside or stay here?...... If I don't go back, what can I do here?...... Perhaps, the only way to continue to pick up the rags, or just set up a stall to shine shoes, the top priority now is to work hard to earn money and pay off the debts owed to the family as soon as possible......"
Listening to his emotional words, Li Feng also felt uncomfortable in her heart, and she also said with emotion: "To be honest, I helped you purely out of kindness, but I didn't expect that such a thing happened today, which made everyone uncomfortable now, and I was very sad in my heart...... Long Chen, cheer up, stay up for a while, and it is estimated that the difficulties will pass. ”
"Li Feng, I thank you very much for your help to me, please don't blame yourself if something happens, you can only blame me, maybe I was born with a cheap life, I can't get good luck, not to mention, but also the people who are close to me to help me...... So, in the future, you better stay away from me, lest I cause you any more trouble......"
"Long Chen, don't say that, I don't believe this statement...... If you'd like, I can introduce you to another job now, okay?"
"Hehe, do you dare to introduce me to a job? What kind of job? Of course I want to stay and work here in the provincial capital!" Chen Long was a little excited.
"It's our company's security department, if you are willing to do it, I can recommend you to work in. ”
"Ahh......h
"Ah, you haven't done it yet, are you so unconfident?"
"No, I'm really afraid of embarrassing you...... "
"I didn't embarrass me, it's just my effort to recommend you to work, but the salary is not very high, only about 3,000 per month, not including food and housing. ”
“...... Well, let me think about it. ”
"What's the matter, I think the salary is low?...... If you go, I'll find a way to help you arrange accommodation, and you can save some money every month. Also, once this work is done, it will last for a long time, so you don't have to worry about not having to do it for a while. ”
"Well, let me think about it......
"Long Chen, what are you hesitating about? Don't worry, I will help and take care of you when I work in our company. ”
"Thank you, I know. ”
"Also, I will try my best to help you ask Aunt Lu for the salary you have been accompanying these days, so please rest assured about today's affairs. ”
"Don't, Li Feng, don't meddle in today's matter, just let this matter pass like this, really, I don't want everyone to be uncomfortable......"
"Long Chen, it's okay, don't worry, I'll take care of this matter. Give you a few days to think about the work of the security section I just mentioned, and call me when you can figure it out and say yes...... Oh, by the way, why did your phone turn off? Didn't you lose it?"
"Oh, in my clothes bag, maybe there's no electricity!"
Chen Long hurriedly took out the bag of clothes from under the table and began to rummage through it......
