Chapter 5 The Day of Unemployment

"Take this severance slip and go to the finance to receive three months' salary. You have nothing to do with our company anymore, remember to take your personal belongings. Director You couldn't hide the smugness on his face.

"Why? In response to the sudden illness of an employee, the company has a rule that you can make up for the leave afterwards, and I did not violate the company's regulations yesterday. Lin Zeng was furious, but he never expected that the company would dismiss him without any explanation.

"Haha, this is the leader's decision, probably because I think you are too bad at work. Director You stared at Lin Zeng's incredulous expression and said very happily.

"No way, every month's workload, I'm in the top three. Lin Zeng clenched his fists and patiently explained. After three years of service, they are eligible to take the examination of reserve cadres, and after completing the examination, their salary will be increased. Lin Zeng has always been diligent and excellent in his work in the past, and he is very likely to be promoted. He didn't intend to be fired inexplicably at this juncture.

"Oh, then what's the solution, maybe where did you displease the leader?" Director You said with a few twitches at the corner of his mouth.

"But ......"

"Okay," Director You seemed to have seen enough of Lin Zeng's reaction, looked at his watch, and suddenly shouted, "I don't care what your opinion is, I also do things according to the rules, if you have an opinion, ask the manager to react, it has nothing to do with me." Hurry up and get away with your stuff. ”

Lin Zeng gritted his teeth and walked out of Director You's office.

Yesterday he was out of love, today he is unemployed, and in less than twenty-four hours, all the peace of his life has been shattered.

If yesterday's broken love was falling into an ice cellar, today's unemployment is utterly unbearable anger.

He thought for a moment and turned around and walked up to the third floor of the supermarket.

In any case, he wanted to find out, not lose his job without a head.

The door to the manager's office on the third floor was closed, but light leaked through the crack in the door, revealing that there were people inside.

Lin Zeng calmed down and knocked on the door three times politely.

"Come in. Manager Zhou's tepid voice came from inside.

"Manager Zhou, hello, I'm ......" Lin Zeng pushed the door in, looking up at two pairs of eyes.

Manager Zhou's eyes were small, squinting like a slit. He looked at Lin Zeng with a smile, nodded and asked, "What's the matter?"

Lin Zeng stared at the man sitting in front of Manager Zhou.

The suit is neat, the hair is delicately groomed, the legs are crossed, the exposed leather shoes are shiny, and the body exudes the smell of elitist cologne. However, no matter how magnificent the body is, the wounds at the corners of the man's mouth and eyes have ruined his image.

This person turned into ashes and was once recognized.

Yesterday, he beat him up.

Lin Zeng glared at him with a smile that seemed to be not smiling, and suddenly understood.

"Yo, what a coincidence, I didn't expect you to be an employee of Xinle Supermarket, you see, this world is so unfortunate, you are an employee, I am a shareholder, it's amazing. By the way, Uncle Zhou, I heard that some employees in the supermarket have left their posts without permission recently, and they should not be punished!" Zhou Jinhui spread his hands, his eyes flashing with pleasure after revenge.

Lin Zeng swept Manager Zhou's face, didn't want to say anything else, turned his head to close the door, and turned to leave.

No need to ask.

The reason is clear.

Lin Zeng went to the employee locker and picked up his personal belongings in the supermarket.

There are not many things, and working in a supermarket for three years is nothing more than a shopping bag thing.

The supermarket doesn't have anyone to say goodbye to.

Walking out the supermarket door, he took one last look at the place where he had worked for three years before leaving without hesitation.

――

――

From being busy spinning like a spinning top, to now being at a loss and idle.

Lin Zeng returned to the attic, silently thinking in his mind.

Three years after graduation, two months away, it will be his twenty-seventh birthday. When I was about to stand, I found that I had achieved nothing, doing nothing all day long, numbing mechanical work, just for a meager salary.

Lin Zeng took out two of his passbooks from under the bed. One is a current payroll passbook and the other is a fixed deposit.

In the regular passbook, there are 50,000 yuan, which are deposited and withdrawn every month, and it happened to be 50,000 yuan last month. In the past three years, I have saved money to buy a small kitchen in Qinghe City.

In the salary card, there are less than 800 yuan ago, and the rent will be paid in a few days, and the money here is just enough to pay the rent.

In his pocket, there are more than 200 yuan, which he earns by selling barbecue meat at night.

All in all, although he is at the lowest point in his life right now, he is not exhausted.

Lin Zeng's eyes were dark, he put the passbook away, and sneered in his heart. Don't worry about working in the supermarket, that Zhou Jinhui can know his work location, probably from Chen Huanyue's mouth.

It was also good that he lost his supermarket job, so he could focus all his energy on the research of the breeder's legacy. Thinking of this, Lin Zeng glanced at the tomato seedlings in the corner, and his mood suddenly improved.

In less than twelve hours, the seedlings grew up a lot, and they were almost fifteen centimeters by visual inspection.

Lin Zeng stood up, took another fertilizer micronune, melted it, and slowly watered it on the roots of the two tomato seedlings.

He thought of those vegetable friends in the planting forum, took out his mobile phone, adjusted the angle, and left the first chapter photo for the vine red jade tomato seedlings.

The photos were not taken very well, but Lin Zeng looked left and right and felt very satisfied. Thinking that on the forum, everyone gathered to show off plants, Lin Zeng thought about it and posted a post on the forum.

"New Variety of Vine Red Jade Tomato,"

Halfway through writing, Lin Zeng suddenly thought, no, tomatoes that use fertilizer micronos grow extremely quickly, and it would be inappropriate for him to upload these photos in a short period of time.

He decided to wait until he had taken a complete picture of the whole growth process of the red jade tomato before posting it to show off.

In the following time, Lin Zeng wrote and drew at home during the day, practicing and familiarizing himself with the drawing of the twelve basic runes. Carry the barbecue grill at night to earn some living expenses.

For the remaining three seeds, Lin Zeng picked up three cheap medium-sized plastic pots from the flower and bird market and planted them in other corners of the room. The room, which was already small, was occupied by these flower pots, and the room became cramped.

For the remaining three seeds, Lin Zeng did not use fertilized micromicrons, but watered them naturally and let them grow.

As for the first two tomato seedlings, he witnessed the miracle of growth in these seven days.

Every day, he watered the two seedlings with fertilized micronos, and they grew rapidly as if they had been pressed the fast-forward button.

On the first day, ten centimeters.

The next day, it was 30 centimeters high.

On the third day, the effect of the micro-water fertilizer is like a sudden burst. Tomato vines climb up the wall and spread about a square meter of space on the wall. The verdant green leaves grow obediently against the wall, making the wall seem to be covered with a layer of beautiful wallpaper.

On the fourth day, Lin Zeng increased the use of fertilizer and water, and the tomato grew faster. It took only two days to occupy about four or five square meters of space on the wall. At the same time, clusters of bright yellow and pink small flowers have emerged.

On the seventh day, there were already green fruits the size of a longan on the tree, and Lin Zeng counted them carefully around the tomatoes, and found that there were about a hundred fruits on each plant.

Lin Zeng's mind was all on studying these two vine tomatoes.

Use your mobile phone to record their growth patterns at different times.

After the tomatoes bloomed, Lin Zeng began to pick up scissors and prune the leaves that were too dense.

Lin Zeng did not throw away the cut leaves, found a plastic bag to put on them, and he looked for space again.

He can be sure that the existence of the breeding space is related to the necklace of the water drop pendant.

As soon as he concentrates on the water drop pendant of the necklace, the scene in the breeding space will appear immediately. At this time, he can enter it as long as his mind moves.

Entering the space, Lin Zeng skillfully painted an opening pattern on the stove body, and then poured the tomato leaves into the Ding furnace. This is followed by a quenching pattern.

Unlike before using ordinary tomatoes in the supermarket to refine seeds, because with the mother of the vine red jade tomato, he no longer had to draw the refining rune pattern tediously

The Ding furnace itself can directly refine the leaves of the mother parent into the seeds of vine red jade tomatoes.

Nine days after he planted the vine red jade tomatoes. Lin Zeng adjusted his phone and took the last photo of the tomato.

No one would believe that the plant, which occupies about ten square meters of the wall, grows in nine days.

And, in addition to watering fertilizer micronutrients and a large amount of vegetable washing water, foot washing water, and face washing water, Lin Zeng hardly took too much care.

The two tomatoes look like vibrant creepers from a distance, but the fist-sized tomato fruit hanging between the leaves can almost subvert plant common sense.

With the addition of these two plants, the originally simple room suddenly became naturally green, like being in a vine forest. The fragrance of natural plants permeates the room, and the fragrance of ripe fruit wafts in the faint air.

On the ninth day, nearly ten tomatoes ripened.

Each tomato is the size of Lin Zeng's fist, three or five in a bunch, with a correct shape, red color, round and lovely.

Lin Zeng finished taking the photo and cut a bunch of ripe tomatoes from among the tomato vines.

Naturally ripening tomatoes have a faint fruity aroma. The addition of Xinwen refining makes the fruity aroma of the red jade tomato more intense.

There is not much dust in the room, the tomato fruit is very clean, and Lin Zeng planted it himself without applying pesticides, he only rinsed the tomato slightly, and he couldn't help but bite it.

not

The plump juice splashed out, and the rich and fresh tomato aroma spread on the tip of his tongue and nose.

Lin Zeng remembered that when he was a child, the aunt on the street carried a bamboo basket and sold cheap vegetables and fruits. My mother's salary was not high at that time, and she couldn't afford to buy other fruits, but every time she saw an aunt in the countryside, she took out a few cents to buy a pound of tomatoes.

Sliced, sprinkled with sugar, the unique taste of tomatoes, the sweetness of the blended sugar.

This mouthful of tomato reminded Lin Zeng of his mood at that time. His eyes were slightly moist, exuding a fragrant tomato, as if bringing him back to the happy times of the year.

After that, Lin Zeng had never eaten such a delicious tomato again.

After three or two bites, he devoured the tomato in his hand, Lin Zeng wiped his mouth, couldn't wait to take the lunch box, took out the fruit knife, sliced the remaining two, and sprinkled it with sugar.

Sandwiched a piece of white sugar tomato, Lin Zeng chewed it carefully and tasted it slowly. After tasting it, he clearly felt the difference between the vine red jade tomato and the ordinary tomato in the market. The taste of vine red jade tomato is more delicate and delicate, and the sweetness permeates the mouth, bringing people a very pleasant feeling.

Lin Zeng looked at the tomatoes in the lunch box, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

He turned on his computer, logged on to the Urban Farm Forum, and started uploading his first post in the forum.
