Chapter 14 Restitution

Jiang Lili has always been cool, and so is the work.

The company gave Lin Wenjing three days to hand over the work at hand. One day yesterday, one day today, and one day tomorrow.

Therefore, I can just return to work the day after tomorrow, and my fingerprint and other information have not been eliminated by the company, so I don't need to enter it separately.

After speaking, Lin Wenjing stuffed the notice stamped with the company's seal into my hand and asked if I had anything else to ask?

I thought about it for a moment and said with an embarrassed smile.

"It's as if I just got a job. ”

Jiang Lili laughed when she heard me say this, and pinched my face with her hand.

"You're so naΓ―ve. ”

Another meaning of naivety is stupid, I know. But today is a happy day, and she's telling the truth, so I don't mind.

"Alright, I'm going to have a morning meeting. See you the day after tomorrow!"

Jiang Lili said as she took out a mirror and carefully examined her appearance. I saw that she was so busy and said goodbye to her, thinking that I could continue to work and no longer be unemployed, and I was so happy that I almost didn't jump.

When I went out, the corners of Manager Du's hateful mouth mixed with the nausea of turning over the river and Haiti made me dizzy, and I was so sad that I almost fell to the ground on the spot.

I staggered against the wall and sat on the floor for a long time before I recovered.

The last few days have been too exciting, and it seems that my body has been a little overwhelmed.

The corridors grew more and more crowded, and I struggled to keep my balance and get up from the ground. Holding on to the wall and waiting for the vertigo to pass completely, I straightened up and walked out of the office.

When I passed by Lin Wenjing's office again, I saw Lin Wenjing squatting on the ground picking up scattered documents, carefully sorting them and putting them back on the desk.

She crouched on the ground with her back to the doorway, the dazzling early spring sunlight pouring into the room through the large glass windows, casting on her protruding shoulder armor and slender waist, shining brightly through the characteristic coldness of the early morning.

Lin Wenjing's strength is well-known in the company. With my current situation and her current situation, I really don't need to bother her anymore.

I strode away. Lin Wenjing didn't look back after hearing the movement, she still squatted in place, grabbed the document in her hand and paused, and then continued to pick it up.

The elevator keeps going up and down because of the rush hour. For the sake of convenience, I didn't fight for the busy elevator, but made the choice of taking the stairwell.

Although there are some unpleasant memories in the stairwell, but so what? the road is long and blocked, and the soldiers will come to block the water and cover the earth.

Luckily, even a nightmare can't always be a pattern, and I didn't meet that person until I walked out of the company's door.

The weather is really nice today, the sun is shining, and there is no need for a meeting. I wandered the streets in a relaxed way, watching the people coming and going in a hurry, and it was a bit of a leisurely stroll.

As he walked, he sent a text message to Jieyun. Thinking about it, I sent another text message to Gao Qiang. Tell him I've been reinstated and invite him to meet sometime. I thought he might not be able to get up at this time, but not long after the text message was sent, Gao Qiang's phone called.

After the phone was connected, Gao Qiang congratulated me. I said thank you in a dizzy head, made a temporary appointment with him to meet him, and I left the phone and walked to the square park not far from the company.

I was in a hurry to replace it by Jieyun before, so I hurriedly carried the backpack containing the two bundles of money and went out. It's okay now, and by the way, I can find Gao Qiang to come out and return it.

When I arrived at the square park, I calculated that Gao Qiang would have to wait a while before he arrived. So, I walked slowly to the square.

At this time, there are few people who go out to exercise and play, and it is also the time to go to work, and the people who exercise are scattered, so the square is very empty.

Up to the square, the gray-white marble stretches far from the feet, and there are large patches of stagnant water that reflect the spring light, which are as bright as the backlight on the stage.

The edge of the square is planted with a large artificial green belt like a grandstand, and the burnt yellow turf is faintly beginning to feel spring. I'm glad for the lives that make it to spring, including the humble grass and the annoying rush.

The terrain of the square is relatively high, and the terraces around the original square are surrounded by a layer of stairs, and later a new idea was planned, which cut the spiral steps into a width of about two meters from east to west, north and south for visitors to walk, and the rest of the place was hollowed out from the side and embedded with glass doors, making a semi-underground store for rent.

Although it was still early, the shops had already begun to open their doors, and the surrounding area of the square began to be noisy as if they were opening their voices.

I stood in a wide square, surrounded by the voices of love or dislove. It's like a stage set up in a lively market, coaxing you to sing and I will appear on the stage, and I can't tell who is playing and who is looking.

I remembered that he seemed to be coming from a distance, and it was only when I got close that I could see that he was as tall as a bean.

"What, are you in a hurry?"

History is always strikingly similar.

I moved my sore legs, hummed in the same strong tone as I had been, and then said, no......

Gao Qiang was amused by me, reached out to hold my hand, and walked side by side with me in the square.

Gao Jian's hand was thick and warm, and the palm was surprisingly soft, and I curled it into his palm slenderly, and the warmth of the ground warmed my whole body.

"Cold, huh?"

Gao Qiang grabbed the hand I was trying to pull out of and stuffed it into his coat pocket with his thick hand.

I tried to struggle, but it made him hold on tighter, and I had to give up struggling and let him write it.

Today's wind is not very strong, but this is the case in the spring in the north, and the cold that accumulates in the ground all winter rises up, and it is cold that seeps into the bones without wind.

Gao Qiang led me all the way down to the east side of the square and into a hot drink shop named Yu Yan.

Because it is located under the square, most of the drinks are take-out, so there are only two sets of tables and chairs in the narrow hot drink shop, with high countertops and high chairs on each side.

I chose to sit with my back to the door, and Gao Qiang went to the bar first and ordered two glasses of Milo and brought them over.

It was a white and pure little girl who mixed the hot drink, and when Gao Qiang finished paying, he cleaned with a rag in one hand, and said love words greasy and crookedly with the phone in the other.

Gao Qiang sat down across from me, looking at me with bright bean eyes and a smile, I was embarrassed by his eyes, picked up the cup and lowered my head and took a small sip.

"When are you going back to work?"

On the phone just now, I only told him that the company told me to go back, but I didn't tell him when. Listening to his question, he hurriedly replied.

"The day after tomorrow...... Go straight to work early the day after tomorrow. ”

"Oh......" Gao Qiang nodded clearly.

"That's right......" I tilted my head over Gao Qiang's shoulder and glanced at the little girl, seeing that she was busy wiping the counter with a rag and didn't look at us, I hurriedly opened my backpack and pushed the two bundles of money in front of Gao Qiang.

"This, pay you back ......"

Although those two bundles of money have always been with me, I really haven't had time to look at them carefully. Now that I push them in front of Gao Qiang, I can take a closer look at them.

In fact, anyone who sees them will like it.

I saw that the two bundles of money were indiscriminately strangled with elastic bands, and according to the thickness, one bundle was about 20,000 yuan. It's the first time I've seen someone tie money like this, it's not regular at all, and one of the bundles of elastic bands has a pile of paper with words written on it, and there seem to be some red marks on it, how do you look like I gave the creditors an IOU before. Because the IOUs are all typed with receipts, I specially selected a very distinctive purple border, so I recognize it.

I was staring at the pile of paper and pondering, but Gao Qiang pushed the money back.

"Are you still wrong?"

"What?!" I was stunned by his question.

"I said you were wrong, and I didn't give you this money. Are you wrong to say that you will pay me back now?"

I was bewildered by him, and I stared at him in a daze.

"Isn't that what you gave me?" I was a little confused. Thinking about it, it was indeed not given by him at the beginning, but by Liu Hanyu.

"You're going to pay it back...... I have to go find Xiao Liu......" Gao Qiang said as he took a sip of a hot drink, and the hot air covered his face, making me a little unable to see his expression.

"You'd better put it away quickly. Gao Qiang said and looked at the door. I was shocked that someone was coming in, so I grabbed the money and stuffed it into my backpack. Out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a smile at the corner of Gao Qiang's mouth.

"I don't care, you're going to have to take it anyway......," I tried to assert myself.

"But I didn't take the bag......" Gao Qiang said with his hands spread. "Do you want me to wander around the world with those two bundles in my hand?"

Alas...... Gao Qiang is also right, he is indeed empty-handed and has no bag. If you force him to take it, what if he is seen by the gangsters? Even if he doesn't meet the gangsters, it's not appropriate to be treated as mentally ill.

"Okay, I'll keep it for you first, and I'll pay you back when it's convenient later. Next time, remember to take the bag......"

"Eh, it's not for me, it's for Xiao Liu. Gao Qiang interrupted me before I could finish.

I was so angry that I didn't want to talk to him anymore, so I tilted my head to the side and refused to pay attention to him.

The two men were silent, soaked in soothing soft music, slowly finishing their hot drinks. Gao Qiang, who put down the cup, opened the cavity first.

"Your face is not very good, I better send you back to rest first. With that, he stood up.

I did feel physically and mentally exhausted and my mind was drowsy. Hearing him say this, he nodded and followed him out.

When I came downstairs to my house, Gao Qiang sent me straight to the door of the building before stopping. Just as I opened the door and was about to enter, Gao Qiang, who was following behind me, suddenly stopped me.

Before I could react, Gao Qiang had already pounced, slammed me against the door, and grabbed my hand with one hand and placed it under his crotch. One thing pressed against the palm of my hand, and I could feel its heat and firmness through the fabric. I screamed and fled, the door behind me slamming with a loud slam.
