Chapter 10: The Girl Who Fell into the Net
Leaving the mood coffee shop, I returned to my residence, subconsciously took out the key from my pocket, and felt it for a long time before I remembered: the key had just been given to the girl, and I squatted down again and touched it in the crack under the door frame, except for touching a hand of dust, I didn't touch anything, and I suddenly became alert.
But this alarm came too late, I believed the girl too much, she took the opportunity to take the key, no wonder when I passed by the coffee shop, the eyes looked at me almost to the sky.
"Damn, this is going to be my enemy!" I cursed, and then stood there wistfully......
In the middle of nothing, I finally remembered the appearance of the girl walking leisurely over the courtyard wall, at this time I could only imitate it again without the spirit of innovation, I came to the side of the pile of debris, and climbed the courtyard wall as concocted, but at the moment when I was ready to turn down, there was an inexplicable rush of pleasure in confronting the world, and even the moon above the sky seemed to be afraid of the height I was at this time, and the distance with me was narrowed as if to flatter, and the city was also because of my location, It became clear and intimate in my sight...... After more than 20 years, I realized that there is such a scenery on this vine-covered wall, if there is a cigarette at this moment, I must take a deep breath, and then resist the urge to go back to sleep, and sit here and talk to the world.
There was a sound of footsteps in the distance, in order to avoid misunderstanding, I hurriedly jumped down, but because I was unfamiliar, I didn't find the focus of the whereabouts, and sat on the ground with a butt, the painting style suddenly changed, and the moon was gone, and the neon of the city was more like a phantom object that had not appeared in my sight at all, only a sour pain from the root of the thigh and the buttocks, which made me feel embarrassed, it turned out that my talent for climbing over the courtyard wall was not as good as that stinky girl.
I "hummed" twice, and finally got up from the ground in the dark, and then went into the house and turned on the light, facing three rooms that might be even lonelier than me, I didn't wash up immediately, just sat on the chair in the living room a little tiredly, and then looked around casually with half-squinted eyes...... I saw that the bathroom door was completely open, and the white basin that I usually take out when I wash clothes was placed in the middle very prominently, and I looked at it in confusion, only to find that there was a business jacket that I liked to wear my most, and a sense of foreboding immediately came up.
I ran into the bathroom, which was filled with the strong smell of 84 disinfectant, picked up my jacket and looked at it, there was already a place burned white by disinfectant, my angry brain was blank, I can't wait to go to Nanyi to find her out now, and then use the most obscene swear words to turn her face, her prank is too much, she doesn't understand the meaning of this jacket to me at all.
But the night was so helpless, I couldn't find a way to vent, just held these angry emotions in my heart, washed the jacket with water, and then hung it on the drying rack and looked at it silently for a long time.
……
The next day, I got up early and went to the company, I want to inform Luo Sumei of the latest communication results with Chen Yi, to see if she has a relationship to talk to Chen Yi's leader, the situation at this time is not too optimistic for the company, but this business must be kept anyway.
After getting off the No. 86 bus, I walked towards the company, and when I was about to arrive at the company, Luo Sumei also happened to drive Lao Jin's old Nissan Teana past me, she pulled over and asked me, "Jiangqiao, did Chen Yi give you an answer over there?" ”
"Hmm...... She is very embarrassed, and she is not willing to openly argue with the leader for this matter, and I also advised her to take advantage of this incident to consider jumping out of the system, but you also know the environment in which she grew up, she is not the kind of person who pursues profit maximization too much, so ......"
Before I could finish my sentence, a sad look appeared on Russell Mei's face, and her brow was kept tightly locked, as if she was thinking of a solution to the problem.
"Boss, why don't you and Mr. Jin think of a way to talk about this matter directly with Chen Yi and their leaders, the biggest problem now is not Chen Yi, it is their leaders who refuse to let go of the system."
"That's all it can be."
I nodded, and Luo Sumei handed the car keys to me again, and said, "There is bone broth I boiled for Lao Jin in the car, you can help me get to the hospital, I'll go find someone to find a way." ”
I answered and took the car keys from Luo Sumei's hand, and when I was about to open the car door, Luo Sumei said to me very seriously: "Jiang Qiao, if Lao Jin asks about this later, you can say that there is no problem with Chen Yi's side, let him stay in the hospital and don't be distracted." ”
I nodded to understand, but I still didn't know much in my heart, with the degree of trickiness of this matter, it was estimated that it would be difficult to do without a very hard relationship, so I asked Luo Sumei: "Boss, who are you going to invite to do this, is it reliable?" ”
"Don't ask so much, hurry up and give the bone broth to Lao Jin, there are still a bunch of things to deal with when I go back to the company later." As she spoke, she reached out and flagged down a taxi from the side of the street, and then left in a hurry.
I muttered a little in my heart, if I was willing to find such a relationship to communicate directly with Chen Yi's leaders from the beginning, why bother doubling Chen Yi's appearance fee, so even if Luo Sumei went out in person, this matter is probably very suspenseful, after all, Chen Yi's leadership level is a bit high, and the face of ordinary people may not change his determination to abide by the system at all.
……
When I came to the hospital, Lao Jin was lying on the hospital bed watching the morning news, and when he saw me coming, he asked, "How are you talking with Chen Yi?" Did she collect the appearance fee we gave her privately? ”
"Mr. Jin, you just put one hundred and twenty hearts to stay in the hospital to take care of your legs, Chen Yi has no problem there, and the appearance fee is ...... She took the appearance fee. ”
Lao Jin nodded with relief, and said again and again: "That's good, that's good." ”
I put the bone broth on the cabinet, and while pulling the folding table on the hospital bed for him, I said: "The boss lady has boiled bone broth for you, you should drink it while it is hot, and don't treat your old leg who has made great achievements at this time." ”
Lao Jin was in a good mood and praised me for my filial piety, he said while eating: "Jiangqiao, I have discussed with your boss, wait for this big list to be completed, let you take the adult bachelor's degree, and then help you apply for the international wedding planner C-level certificate, the cost of this exam and training is ...... by the company" paused, he added: "In fact, your Jiangqiao's brain is enough, it stands to reason that he has worked in this industry for 6 years, and he is a senior planner, but this academic degree is too delayed, this time you have to have a long snack, Make up for all the cultures you haven't learned before. ”
"Can you not mention education and culture, the two words that annoy me the most?"
"I really don't want to mention it to you little bitch, but can you apply for a certified planner certificate with a high Chinese in the industry...... You have to look a little farther, even if you don't follow my old gold one day, as long as you have such a certificate in your hand, you will not starve to death in this industry. ”
"You're so heartbroken for me!"
"I don't worry about you, who cares about you...... You are different from ordinary children, everyone has a father and mother to count on, you can only rely on your own to fight, this looks like you are at the age of marriage, everything has to be weighed by yourself, long snacks, you have been following me for 6 years, I and your boss lady are more or less responsible for buying you some belongings......"
I lowered my head and didn't answer Lao Jin's words, but just desperately endured the loneliness and pain in my heart. Over the years, I have been like a lonely boat that has not been able to find the other side, drifting in Nanjing, a city that is so big that there is no boundary, I have longed for a pair of guiding hands, and I have also longed for a gentle call, but these are too luxurious for me, I don't even know where my biological mother is at the moment, what kind of life she is living.
Lao Jin seemed to feel my mood, rarely patted me on the shoulder, and said encouragingly: "Do a good job, my Lao Jin has put the words here in advance, and when you get married, I will definitely buy you a car with 100,000 yuan to go up, so that you can marry your daughter-in-law in style!" ”
……
Back at the company, I experienced a busy morning and afternoon half a day, and Luo Sumei has not been back to the company, in the middle I sent her a text message, asking about the progress of the matter, she did not give me a clear answer, just told me to do the job at hand, she will handle this matter personally.
Tomorrow is the weekend, I will work a little more in the company, finish the urgent things at hand, when I leave the company, the whole city is drowned in the thick of the night, the streets seem to have no end to stretch under my feet, all the flashing neon is rendering the loneliness of walking alone, I habitually light a cigarette, with the smell of tobacco against the warmth of the lights and the fragrance of food.
I finally went back to the alley, and then stopped at the entrance of the alley to buy a fried mein, this is my dinner today, although a little shabby, but there is nothing bad, at least one person eats, no need to wash the pot and wash the dishes, at least this is a food that looks good.
Walking into the alley, I bought two bottles of beer at the convenience store next to the "Mood" coffee shop, and I plan to pick up the night, so beer is indispensable, it will help me organize my mood, and then quickly fall asleep.
After the last detour, I finally saw my own courtyard, and I also saw the stinky girl sitting on the steps in front of the door playing with her mobile phone, my anger surged up all of a sudden, and I remembered the leather jacket that she washed and discarded with 84 disinfectant, I didn't expect her to fall into the net so quickly, I unconsciously increased my pace and walked towards her
