Chapter 14: The heart is depressed
After Hu Li returned to the company from the bank, she was restless, and the more she thought about it, the more scared she became, and finally asked the financial manager for a leave of absence to return home under the pretext that she was not feeling well.
Hu Li sat on the sofa in the living room of her home, her face was gray, her eyes were blank.
Hu Li has been working in the Xu Group for five years, has always been diligent, deeply appreciated by the company's leaders, but I don't know when it started, but contracted the vice of gambling, and borrowed a lot of usury from the underworld for this purpose. Several people agreed that Hu Li would be responsible for delaying time, and under the pretext of using the excuse of buttons, to pass the code to the four people who carried out the operation, and then the four of them rushed up together to cut down the captain who carried out the escort mission, and fled after taking the money, and then shared the spoils after the rumors passed. This is what I didn't expect, and now my four accomplices have been taken into custody by the police, under the questioning of the police, the accomplices will definitely confess themselves, it seems that their good life has come to an end, it is really a loss to steal chickens.
Hu Li slowly closed her eyes, a few tears slipped from her cheeks, walked to the room, took out a bottle of sleeping pills from the drawer of the bedside table and grabbed it in her hand, she herself has insomnia, so the family has been equipped with sleeping pills to promote her sleep.
....................................................................
"Lao Xiao, now that our company has gotten off work, let's go directly to Hu Li's house!"
Chen Zhi said to Xiao Xiaohui, who was driving. Xiao Xiaohui parked the car on the side of the road when he heard this, frowned and asked, "How to get to her house?"
"Deep Blue Community, Seven Buildings, Four Hundred and Two. Chen Zhi replied without thinking. The home address of every employee of the company is deeply in his mind, and sometimes even Chen Zhi wonders if his head is a large-capacity memory, otherwise how can he remember so much?
The car turned a corner in the middle of the road and drove towards the dark blue community, and then Zhou Jianguo used the radio station on the car to convey the order to the criminal police members who went to the Xu Group to arrest Hu Li.
Ten minutes later, four police cars entered the dark blue community, stopped under the building of Building 7, and then got out of the car more than a dozen policemen, including three men in black suits. After getting out of the car, everyone gathered around and said a few words, and then entered the corridor and walked towards 402.
Before they reached the fourth floor, they heard the crying, and everyone felt a little strange, and when they went up to the fourth floor, they found that the crying was coming from 402, and everyone looked at each other, not knowing what was going on.
Zhou Jianguo stepped forward and knocked on the door, and said loudly: "Police, open the door." ”
After a while, the door opened, and a child of about thirteen or fourteen years old stood in the doorway, his face covered with tears. The crowd then walked into the house, only to see an unexpected scene. Several people gathered around the sofa with sad faces, while Hu Li lay on the sofa, her face pale and lifeless.
Zeng Yi hurriedly stepped forward, stretched out two fingers to probe in front of Hu Li's nose, and then probed in her neck artery, and then shook his head at everyone.
"Alas!" Liu Zhen sighed, unexpectedly that the person who was still alive in the afternoon would return to her hometown in a blink of an eye, although she made a mistake, she would not punish herself with death. Everyone makes mistakes, and as long as they accept the punishment and regret it, they can start over, so why take such an extreme approach?
For a moment, everyone was silent, and a trace of sadness lingered in everyone's hearts.
"Condolences by the way!"
Xiao Xiaohui comforted Hu Li's family, and then a group of policemen and Zeng Yi left Hu Li's house. Hu Li has committed suicide in fear of sin, if she continues to stay in her home, it will be disrespectful to the deceased, no matter what unforgivable things Hu Li did in her life, it will end with her death.
On the way back to the company, Xiao Xiaohui sent Zeng Yi and his entourage, and everyone didn't speak, thinking about their own thoughts.
Back in the dormitory, Zeng Yi simply washed up and lay down on the bed, he felt very tired. This kind of tiredness is not physical tiredness, but from spiritual tiredness. It can be said that today's Hu Li incident deeply shocked his soul, he just stepped into the society and saw the ugly side of the prosperous world, a person can do anything for money, and then the matter is revealed and he uses his life to pay for his mistakes, what kind of logic is this? Is life so small and fragile in the face of money? Is money really that important to the world? Is it really as the ancients said that people die for money, and birds die for food?
Wang Chao and Heizi saw Zeng Yi's tired face, so they walked up to Zeng Yi and asked with concern: "Zeng Yi, what's wrong with you? It looks like you're tired, aren't you a little unaccustomed to working?"
Zeng Yi rolled up from the bed, he didn't vomit and was unhappy, he needed someone to tell him how he felt in his heart.
"Wang Chao, is money really that important?" Zeng Yi looked at Wang Chao with anticipation after speaking, he wanted to hear Wang Chao say that money is not important.
After hearing Zeng Yi's words, Wang Chao thought for a while and nodded: "Yes, money is really important to this society, because today's society measures a person's ability by money, don't we come out to do things just for money?"
Zeng Yi listened to the disappointment on his face, and fell back on the bed. What Wang Chao said is not unreasonable, today's society is indeed like this, not measured by the quality and connotation of a person, but by money. If you have more assets, then the greater your fame, and you can't help but say that this is the sorrow of society, when did society become like this?
"If you exchanged your life for money, would you?" Zeng Yi suddenly said something inexplicable, which couldn't help but make Wang Chao and Heizi stunned.
"No, it won't. After all, life is the foundation of all things, and if you lose your life, what's the point of getting endless money?" Kuroko said seriously.
It can be said that Heizi's thoughts coincide with Zeng Yi, and Zeng Yi also thinks so in his heart.
"But some people have lost their lives for money!" Zeng Yi sighed after speaking.
"Who?" Wang Chao and Heizi asked in unison after hearing Zeng Yi's words.
"Alas!" Zeng Yi sighed and turned over again, and then told Heizi and Wang Chao about Hu Li, and heard Heizi and Wang Chao shaking their heads and sighing frequently.
"I really didn't expect Cashier Hu to do this!" Kuroko sighed.
Yes, in the hearts of Wang Chao and Heizi, Hu Li has always been a good person, serious in her work, and enthusiastic in treating others, but who knew that she would make such a choice, and it really fulfilled a sentence: Knowing people and knowing faces does not know their hearts.
After hearing Hu Li's story, the three of them returned to their respective beds in silence, feeling sad for the loss of a colleague and sorry for a withered life.
After Liu Zhen returned to the company, he called the general manager to report the news to the general manager, after listening to Liu Zhen's report, he couldn't help but feel sorry for Hu Li, Hu Li is an old employee of the company, the work has been serious and responsible, diligent, and he is ready to promote her to the financial director after a while, but he doesn't want this to happen, when Liu Zhen reported Hu Li's doubts to himself, he will still be suspicious, but he never thought that all this is true.
Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night, and all those who know about it are lying in bed tossing and turning. Zeng Yi, Heizi, and Wang Chao silently pondered the meaning of money in their hearts. And Liu Zhen and Chen Zhi are reflecting on their mistakes in their work, if they find Hu Li's attempt earlier, this can not only nip the potential danger in the bud, but also save a life, if it is not for Zeng Yi to tell Hu Li's suspicions to himself today, he has been kept in the dark, if it is not for Zeng Yi to find the bad intentions of the four gangsters in the bank, it is estimated that the company will come to immeasurable losses.
Early the next morning, Liu Zhen received a call from the general manager, instructing him to keep Hu Li's incident strictly confidential, and at the same time asked the human resources department to issue a notice, saying that Cashier Hu had left the company for personal reasons, and her behavior had nothing to do with the company from then on. This move was to dispel the panic of the company's employees and protect the company's reputation, and asked Liu Zhen to write a report recommending that Zeng Yi be rewarded for his excellent work and the protection of the company's property.
After Liu Zhen hung up the phone, he took active action, called Zeng Yi and Chen Zhi to the office, told them that Hu Li's matter was kept strictly confidential, and told Zeng Yi that the group was ready to reward him for his merits.
Subsequently, Chen Zhiyou gave this order to Heizi and Wang Chao, and the two expressed their understanding and promised to keep it strictly confidential according to Chen Zhi's instructions.
A few days later, Zeng Yi's commendation order came down.The group's conference room was full of people, and the security department was all present except for a few security guards who were on duty normally.The commendation meeting was presided over by Liu Zhenhe and the financial manager, and the president and general manager of course would not attend, which did not match their identity.
The so-called commendation conference is nothing more than to praise Zeng Yi for a few words, give a bonus or something, and then let Zeng Yi come to the stage to say a few words, and then Liu Zhen called on all the security guards to learn from Zeng Yi, everything is just a formality.
Seeing Zeng Yi's expression, many colleagues secretly thought in their hearts. It should be a very happy thing to accept praise, and to accept praise in front of so many people, it is equivalent to showing his face in the company, but why does he look worried?
When Zeng Yi took the bonus handed to him by Liu Zhen, he felt that it was so dazzling. It is because of this thing that a person with a great future is led astray; It is because of this thing that people have annihilated their conscience and bred endless greed.
At dinner time, Liu Zhen and Chen Zhi made an exception and did not go to the cafeteria, but went out to buy some beer and braised vegetables, and then called Zeng Yi to the grass of the basketball court behind the dormitory.
The three of them sat on the grass, Liu Zhen opened the beer he had just bought and handed a bottle to Zeng Yi, Zeng Yi looked at it and took it. He didn't know because he had never drunk it, no matter what it was.
"Come, let's go one of three. After Liu Zhen finished speaking, he raised his neck and poured a few big mouthfuls. Zeng Yi also took a few sips of his example, but he didn't like the taste of beer very much, it was a little bitter.
"Xiao Zeng, how long have you been in society?" Liu Zhen looked at Zeng Yi and took out a cigarette from his arms and lit it.
"Hehe, let's go for fifteen days with the head and tail. Zeng Yi calculated, adding up the time from coming out of the mountains to working in the Xu Group, it was indeed only fifteen days.
"Oh. Liu Zhen nodded. It's no wonder that when I first stepped into society, I encountered such a thing, and I really couldn't accept it for a while.
"I can see that you have been a little unhappy in the last few days, so please tell us what you have on your mind! Chen Zhi said after taking a sip of wine.
Zeng Yi shook his head and sighed, and said slowly: "Maybe!"
Zeng Yi raised his head and looked at the surrounding environment, and when his eyes came into contact with the cigarette that Liu Zhen put on the grass, his heart suddenly felt like smoking.
"Can you give me a cigarette?"
Liu Zhen looked at him when he heard this, and then picked up the whole pack of cigarettes from the grass and threw them in front of Zeng Yi with the lighter. Zeng Yi took out a cigarette from the cigarette case and took two deep breaths, but he was choked by the cigarette and coughed repeatedly, and even tears were about to cough up.
"Don't smoke so much for the first time you smoke. Although cigarettes are not good for the body, they can sometimes have a role in relieving anxiety. Here, one more. After Liu Zhen finished speaking, he raised the wine to Zeng Yi for the second time, and then the three of them touched the wine bottle and dried it in one go.
"Many roads in a person's life are walked out by themselves, no wonder others, as the so-called sins made by heaven can still live, but self-made sins cannot live. Although you don't say it, we know what you are thinking in your heart, look at it a little, why bother to put pressure on yourself for a greedy life hour?" Liu Zhen looked sincere, of course, what he said was also the truth.
Zeng Yi looked at him, and then said: "I don't have any ideological pressure, I just can't see this society clearly, I can't see clearly the people living in this society, why can they take risks for money, and lose their lives?
"A person's mentality is very important, as the so-called contentment and happiness, those who choose to take risks for the sake of money do not know contentment, which is also the root of their eventual demise. ”
"Contentment? Yes, these are these two extremely simple words, but there are many people who can't do it, and most of them are in this society, right?" After listening to Liu Zhen's words, Zeng Yi said silently in his heart.
"Everyone has their own way of life, we have no right to intervene, if you have the ability, you can make a little contribution to the society, if you don't have the ability, you can only manage yourself, do you say?" Chen Zhi said eloquently, and tried his best to enlighten Zeng Yi.
"If you have the ability, you can make a little contribution to the society, and if you don't have the ability, you can only manage yourself?" Zeng Yi secretly recounted Chen Zhi in his heart, and suddenly seemed to realize something, and the depression in his heart was suddenly removed.
"Yes, what Captain Chen said is right! Come, let's continue drinking!" At this time, Zeng Yi's troubles in his heart had been removed, and he had returned to his usual self with a smile on his face.
"Okay! Let's get drunk today!"
"Come!"
Seeing that Zeng Yi's ideological baggage had been lost, Chen Zhi and Liu Zhen were very happy, and after that, the three of them frequently clinked glasses, and before they knew it, Zeng Yi was slightly drunk. The first time you come into contact with alcohol, the body has no immunity to the invasion of alcohol, and getting drunk is inevitable.
"From now on, I will eradicate all the evils of this society in the name of justice!" Zeng Yi stood on the grass and looked up at the sky, his eyes were full of fortitude, and the righteousness between his eyebrows was even stronger, with the momentum of the world.
This momentum made Chen Zhi and Liu Zhen feel very shocked, they didn't understand why the momentum on Zeng Yi's body exploded so strong in an instant? The two looked at each other for a while, and they had a conclusion in their hearts about Zeng Yi, this son must not be a thing in the pool!
