Chapter 1: Dawn I
Before dawn, there is always a time when the world will go into extreme darkness. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
At that moment, the stars dispersed, the moon died, and the night was suffocatingly dark. Maybe it's the fear of the light that is coming, or maybe it's the last struggle, every inch of air is frantically devouring everything around you. The darkness that comes together is extremely condensed into a little bit in the silence, and you feel a sense of despair.
And then the darkness burst open! It was the light in the distance, sweeping the waves of the night, from a touch, to a piece, and then to the overwhelming, destroying the withering and decaying darkness that could not be erased, and finally, the sun returned! Like a hero who holds up his sword and lifts the rising sun to the sky.
This time is called dawn.
ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦
The North Styx runs through the backbone of the city, and when you enter the night, the noise of the night fades, and in the silence, you can hear her breathing as a mother. The splendid street lamps along the river decorate her with gentle brilliance. A gust of wind blew, except for the pulsating ripples on the river, a street lamp by the river, which completed its last watch, flashed twice, and then quietly extinguished.
In this darkless area that suddenly darkened, a little red bloomed and then dimmed. In the shadows, a pale and dull face emerged lightly, puffing on a cigarette.
He was curled up, his white shirt was already very ragged, crisscrossed with bloodstains, holes and footprints, and there was a hematoma after the fight on his bloodied right hand. I had to use my left hand to gently snuff out the last wrinkled cigarette between my fingers.
As the last bit of light around him disappeared, his empty eyes also lost the last bit of brilliance, whew! He stood up and walked desperately towards the North Styx in front of him. As I walked, the experiences of the past whole day came to mind again like a movie screening......
ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦
In the morning, even though it was raining outside the window, he was still in a good mood. The work and tie were played, and the young man gently picked up his work card, which said his name: Lin Xiaotong, real estate agent, Jia Leju Real Estate Co., Ltd. Looking at his energetic appearance in a suit on the work card, a touch of sunshine appeared on Lin Xiaotong's face, and he must fight today! He lifted his feet and stepped out of the house.
Xiaotong has been working for three months, and today is the day he turns positive! But in fact, he didn't like the job, and even hated it......
Half a year ago, I walked out of the university campus with enthusiasm, and my dreams and longings were like white clouds in the sky, flying at will and untouchable. The international economics and trade major sounds high-end and high-grade, but after stepping on the earth, I realized that there is so much international finance for you? Just looking for a job for nearly three months, under the successive encounters and blows, Xiaotong looked at his living expenses that were about to run out, and chose a career that he was more excluded - sales, so he came to this company. This is three months, but helplessly, as of now, only one month's salary has been paid, not to mention any commission bonuses.
From home to the company, there is nearly forty minutes away, but Lin Xiaotong is striding on the road, firstly because he can save the road fee, and secondly, he can exercise ~ his body. It didn't take long for the street where the company was located to be close in front of you.
This is a slightly barren commercial street, tucked away on the edge of the city center, which is dotted with large and small real estate companies, of course, this is a nice way to say, if it is a little more ugly, it is a real estate agent! Aunt Lu downstairs, as always, erected a few billboards downstairs that hadn't changed for a long time, and when she saw Lin Xiaotong coming, she suddenly squeezed out a rare smile: "It's so early!" ā
Lin Xiaotong couldn't help but wonder a little, he was a well-known "good bully" in this company, and this Aunt Lu was usually cold-eyed, and she didn't have a good word in ten sentences, but she took the initiative to say hello to me today, hey! What's wrong with Aunt Lu today? Although his mind was spinning like this, he still responded with a bright smile: "Morning! Aunt Lu! ā
With the words, Mrs. Lu leaned into Xiaotong's ear and said, "Mr. Liang has already come, saying that when you arrive, you will go directly to the office to find him." ā
Xiaotong was cold, how did he hear a strange smell in the words of the old mother Lu, we all know that the company's efficiency has not been good recently, three months ago when Xiaotong first came in, I found that many people left for unknown reasons, and then in the past three months, there have been many employees who have just completed the probationary period and have been ruthlessly dismissed. Seeing that I have only been here for three months, is it ......?
Lin Xiaotong politely replied with a thank you, frowned and took a few steps to the elevator, came to a company of only more than 100 square meters, and walked to the boss's office with worries in his heart.
Knock, knock, snort...... There was a gentle knock on the door, and a shrill male voice came from inside: "Come in!" ā
Lin Xiaotong took a deep breath and pushed the door in. In the room, a middle-aged man in his forties and fifties, with triangular eyes, somewhat fat, had one or two large pimples on his oily and shiny skin, and a "Mediterranean" on his sticky hair. There was a bowl of freshly finished breakfast on the desk, and Mr. Liang put his feet on the table, holding a toothpick in his hand to pick his teeth.
"Mr. Liang, you're looking for me!" Lin Xiaotong seems to have become accustomed to the boss's roughness.
This Mr. Liang put away his feet, slowly stood up, came to Lin Xiaotong's side, stretched out a fat big hand and patted Lin Xiaotong on the shoulder: "Xiaotong, what do you think, how have you been doing in the company in the past three months?" ā
Lin Xiaotong was a little apprehensive and embarrassed, lowered his head and said: "I think I'm okay, I completed two rental contracts last week, and I feel like I'm on the right track." ā
"Think it's okay? Hehe......" After Mr. Liang laughed twice, he turned around and picked up a stack of performance reports on the table and threw it at Lin Xiaotong: "See for yourself, this is your performance this month!" ā
Lin Xiaotong took the report in a panic, and looked at it, it was simply written on the performance results of the company's nine subordinate employees this month, and those colleagues who had been idle before, the results on this report were miraculously up! Finally, Lin Xiaotong found his name in the penultimate row.
"Have you finished reading?" Mr. Liang stared at Lin Xiaotong with slanted eyes, only to see Xiaotong with his head down, and he couldn't see the expression on his face.
After a while, Xiaotong gently put the report back on the desk, and said reluctantly: "I'm sorry Mr. Liang, I ...... I'll definitely work hard next month! ā
After hearing this, Mr. Liang propped his hands on the table and leaned forward slightly: "I'm sorry? Next month? Do you think you can get this grade next month? ā
Lin Xiaotong swallowed his saliva and continued to Vino: "As long as Mr. Liang believes me." ā
"And what if I don't believe you?" Mr. Liang pinched his strange tone and continued: "I didn't mean to pour cold water on you, but Xiaotong, you also have a diploma, and your appearance is also positive, who doesn't like a big man of nearly one meter eight, but my brother will tell you the truth, this sales may not be suitable for you, for your future, and for the development of the company, let's stop here during the probationary period, in addition to the door of the company, it is still your world!" ā
After listening to this, Lin Xiaotong was silent for a while, bit his lip and said: "Mr. Liang, I am usually gentle and even a little cowardly, but I am not stupid, I know my own achievements, and I also see the achievements of others, and I should be one of the best in the company. ā
Mr. Liang grabbed the conversation: "Don't talk nonsense!" ā
Lin Xiaotong continued: "Mr. Liang, don't say it, I'll go, you can pay me my two months' salary." ā
When Mr. Liang heard this, he suddenly had amnesia: "Salary? What salary? With your grades, the company supports you for a month in vain, and you still have the face to ask for a salary! ā
Lin Xiaotong's brows plummeted, and the kindness on his face turned into sadness: "What did you say?" ā
Mr. Liang kicked his nose and put it on his face, and took advantage of the situation to yell: "I said that you should hurry up and leave!" ā
The voice echoed in the crowded office building, like a sharp knife, repeatedly cutting Lin Xiaotong's innocence.
It's such a bully!
The green tendons on his head protruded slightly, and the various bullies and abuses he had received in the past three months were like a flood that burst the embankment, eroding his reason fiercely. I was so overwhelmed that I couldn't breathe.
"Why are you still there?" Mr. Liang felt that something was wrong and asked out loud.
And Lin Xiaotong didn't speak, still staring there in a daze.
"I'm asking you! You can't go! Mr. Liang continued to ask.
At this moment, the corners of Lin Xiaotong's mouth twitched slightly...... Double-click...... Three times ...... After that, there was a sick spasm ~ convulsions ~ convulsions, and in just ten seconds, Lin Xiaotong finally regained his composure, but after a closer look, he found that his expression had changed dramatically.
The short hair bangs that were originally combed to the side have now become parted in the middle; The eyebrows that had originally collapsed were now upside down like two blades; The originally sad eyes are glaring angrily at this time! The most special thing is that the corners of his mouth, which were originally deflated, are now raised in an evil arc, as if he has discovered the most interesting thing in the world, which is intriguing, and even the sound is ......
"Huh...... Giggle...... Ha...... Ooh...... Hey, you ask me if I'm leaving, I'm ...... What if you don't go? Lin Xiaotong tilted his head and stared directly at the fat man in front of him.
Mr. Liang saw this big change with his own eyes, and couldn't help but be a little stunned: "What do you want to do?" ā
"Haha, say it you may not believe it." Lin Xiaotong put his mouth close to Mr. Liang's ear and bent it: "I, I want to do anything!" ā
Before he finished speaking, Lin Xiaotong quickly opened his big mouth, bit on the fat man's ear, and slammed his jaw hard!
Tear!
"Ah~~~!! My ears! Liang Fat Man screamed, pushed Lin Xiaotong away hard, and touched the place where he had just been bitten, there was still an ear left, and there was only one ear left! Liang Fatzi couldn't help but be angry, covering the root of his bloody ear with one hand, and smashing a plastic stool next to him with the other hand towards Lin Xiaotong, shouting in his mouth: "Damn! Lin Xiaotong! I'm going to kill you! ā
I saw this fat man curled up and rushed forward, and his body of about one hundred and sixty or seventy pounds was scattered.
But Lin Xiaotong not only did not retreat, but instead clenched his fist with his right hand as an ingot, and went straight up! aimed at the fat man's face, it was a stab!
Burst!
The sound of impact and the sound of fists seemed to come out at the same time, and Lin Xiaotong was slammed into the wall, but on the other hand, the fat man Liang, although he used his hand to remove some of the accuracy and strength of his fist, but this punch was firmly on his mouth and nose, he squatted on the ground, spread out the hand covering his big mouth, and two black and yellow teeth and blood fell out of his mouth!
The sound of the fight brought in the people outside the office, three or two giants rushed over to set up Lin Xiaotong and pulled him out, Lin Xiaotong let go with a loud roar, rushed to Liang Fatzi's body, and punched the back of Liang Fatman's hand on the ground, and said word by word:
"Remember, I'm not Lin Xiaotong, my name is Lin, Tian, and Choice!"
