Zhu Huaijing felt that Xiangmei's smile was a little lonely. Not wanting to think about it any more, he got up and got dressed. Xiangmei said, "You go, I want to lie down for a while." She was still smiling. Zhu Huaijing felt more and more that Xiangmei must be sad in her heart. His heart hardened and he walked out of the bedroom.

His son's room was hidden, Zhu Huaijing endured it, and still went in and slapped his son's face. When Kiki saw that it was her father, she pestered her to ask about her homework. Zhu Huaijing taught a few questions, and said that Dad still has to go out and have something, and Mom will teach you later. As he said this, he felt something choke in his throat. In front of his son, his heart is even more unpleasant.

It only takes about 20 minutes to go out from the gate to Longxing Hotel. But he told Yuqin that he would go back later. It was still early, and he walked through the side door. Take the side door to go around some small alleys, and then pass through the railway station square, a little farther.

There are no street lights in the alleys, only a dim light from the windows of the people, and the roads are potholed and full of garbage. Zhu Huaijing lowered his head and walked carefully, for fear of stepping on the dirty water on the ground. I thought this was the real city.

"Brother, you dropped something!" Zhu Huaijing heard someone shouting loudly, and knew that it was not to call him, so he didn't answer. But someone slapped him on the shoulder. When he looked back, he saw a young man, lean and horse-faced, with a yellow chain dangling in his hand, and said, "Brother, you have dropped a gold bracelet." ”

Zhu Huaijing immediately understood what kind of trick this was. The locals of Jingdu call this kind of deception pig killing, and the swindler is holding a fake gold chain, if you are greedy and say that it is yours, he will ask you for money, and say that this gold chain is worth at least 2,000 yuan, so you can give me 1,000 yuan. If you see through it and don't want to give money, then you don't want to leave, a group of people will soon surround you, search your whole body, and maybe you will be beaten to death. Zhu Huaijing usually just hears people talk about this, saying that it is a liar who chooses those outsiders who are not very clear, and he doesn't want to run into it today. He finished thinking about it, if he didn't get a little more sophisticated, it would be a lot of trouble today. He suddenly remembered that this piece was Song Daqing's jurisdiction, so he pretended to be calm and said with a smile: "Little brother, you can make a fortune with this." Let me tell you, I still have a lot of gold bracelets that are stored at Song Monkey, do you want them? You call some of your brothers over there, and I promise to give you one of you. ”

When the young man heard this, he was busy smiling, arching his fists with both hands, and said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't expect it to be my brother, I'm sorry, I'm sorry." After saying that, he ran away.

Zhu Huaijing breathed a sigh of relief and found that he had already broken out in a cold sweat. I thought that I usually walk outside with a lofty spirit, how can I ask someone to hang two hundred and five today? Eighty percent of them just lowered their heads and thought about things and described them as obscene, so they were targeted. When I think about it like this, I feel very uncomfortable in my heart, and I feel that these people look down on people, and they should be taught a lesson just now. He clenched his fists, teeth squeaking.

Indignant all the way, I soon arrived at the Longxing Hotel. But I saw a lot of people looking around to see what was posted on the wall. He took a closer look and saw that it was a notice, calling all the retired workers of Ersu to gather at the gate of the city at eight o'clock tomorrow morning, calling on the leaders to pay attention to the legitimate rights and interests of retired workers of enterprises in difficulty. Ersu is the city's second plastic factory, just next door to the Longxing Hotel, has been out of production for several years, and their workers petition at the gate of the city for three days.

Zhu Huaijing glanced at the notice, came out of the crowd with his head down, and went to Yuqin. Yuqin saw that he was short of breath and joked, "You went to fight with someone, didn't you?" So out of breath. ”

Zhu Huaijing calmed himself down and said, "Don't say it, I really let you guess right." Right next to your hotel, in Ersu's place, there are a few young men who drank too much horse urine and molested a girl. There were people on and off the road, and no one came out to say a word. I came over to take a look, got angry, and said a few words. The thugs came at me. I didn't care about anything, and I beat people with my old fists. They were all so drunk that they couldn't stand my fists, and they all fell down. ”

Yuqin's eyes widened and she said, "Ahhhh Fortunately, those people are drunk, otherwise you will suffer again, you, in the future, you still have to measure your ability to do these heroes to save beauties. Are you hurt? ”

He only said no, no, no. Yuqin looked at him all over her body, and when she saw that his leather shoes were dirty, she asked him to take them off. While wiping the mud on his shoes, he said, "This place is the dirtiest in Ersu." At night, that piece is also dark and rumbling, and people often hide there to grab things. It also affects our business. We wanted to requisition that place and work on some new projects, but we couldn't do the job. ”

Yuqin polished her shoes and poured him tea. He drank his tea, and slowly remembered that he had been killed as a pig in the station square just now, and his heart became angry again, and he couldn't help but clench his fist and slam it on the sofa. Yuqin stroked his chest and said, "Are you still thinking about that?" You dissipate, dissipate. This world is like this, how can anyone be as righteous and awe-inspiring as you? ”

He let out a long sigh and said worriedly, "I don't believe that a society can be like this for a long time." ”

Yuqin said: "I know, now is not the time to talk big and empty. But I understand that a man who only cares about personal gains and losses, and doesn't want to make big things in his heart, is useless. ”

When Zhu Huaijing heard this, he patted Yuqin's face lovingly, but he couldn't help but sigh deeply. Yuqin didn't say anything anymore, just snuggled up to him, and kept stroking his chest, as if this chest was full of world events.

At about 11 o'clock in the morning of the next day, Song Daqing called Zhu Huaijing to tell him that things were going well, and that Long Xing agreed to pay 85,000 yuan in compensation for disability in Simao, nutrition, and lost work, as well as medical expenses.

Zhu Huaijing was overjoyed when he heard this, but said flatly: "I'm bothering you, Old Song." If it weren't for your face, this thing wouldn't be so easy, my cousin wasn't beaten in vain? ”

"Everywhere, they are all brothers, and they are gone. Besides, this is also your Director Zhu's own face, and Mr. Lei and Mr. Mei still look at your face. You don't know that Mei Yuqin, she has the most eyes and the most picky things on weekdays, but this time she didn't say anything, just said that Lao Lei was in charge. Song Daqing said.

put the phone, Zhu Huaijing immediately hung up the phone at home, but no one answered. He hurriedly ran to Liu Zhongxia and said that there was an urgent matter at home, and he would go back for a spin, and he would not eat lunch here. Liu Zhongxia said: "Okay. You go, you don't have to rush back in a hurry, just come back after you finish it. ”

Zhu Huaijing came out of Liu Zhongxia's room and couldn't help but want to laugh. When I arrived at the hall, I saw two hostesses standing at the door, full of spring breeze. When the two young ladies saw him, they looked at each other, and their faces turned up. He immediately thought that his hippie smiling face must be regarded as a pervert by the two young ladies. He got serious, put away his smile, and walked past the young lady with a ** face. There happened to be a taxi, and he got into it. Soon arrived home, but there was no Xiangmei. I wonder if she went to the hospital? Just as she was about to go out to the hospital, Xiangmei opened the door and came in, carrying a big bag in her hand.

"Yo, why did you come back at noon today?" Xiangmei asked with a smile.

Zhu Huaijing didn't see her bag, and laughed: "You don't welcome me back?" ”

Xiangmei smiled and glanced at him.

Zhu Huaijing said: "When I came to the office to get the information, it was almost noon, so I didn't go to the hotel." How's it going? ”

Xiangmei patted her bag and said, "Quan Dai helps Lao Song speak, Lao Song is really a friend." Seriously, I really can't say if I want people to lose so much money. You see, the money is in hand, a total of eighty-five thousand. Medical expenses they go to the person in the afternoon. ”

Zhu Huaijing only glanced at the bag that Xiangmei had opened, and said, "Did you come back directly from Longxing just now?" ”

Xiangmei felt that the man asked strangely and said, "Yes! I dare to run around with such a big bag of money? What's wrong? ”

Zhu Huaijing was worried that she had just gone to the hospital and couldn't let Simao know how much money she had lost. Xiangmei always felt that his expression was wrong, looked at him for a while, and asked, "You seem to have something to say?" ”

Zhu Huaijing said: "There is nothing to say. Hey, let me ask you, what are you going to do with this money? ”

Xiangmei said, "I want to discuss with you." This money was paid to Simao, and Simao did suffer. I think it's better to give it all to him. Of course, we did our part in this matter, otherwise we wouldn't have lost so much money. We have something to say, take him ten thousand. You tell me? ”

Zhu Huaijing smiled and said, "You can't take this 10,000 yuan, if you take it, we will owe him a favor for the rest of your life." ”

Xiangmei thought about it and felt that this was the case, so she said: "Then don't want him at all, give him a whole favor." We are short of money, and 10,000 yuan can't afford it. Alas, we have worked hard for so many years, and we have never had 30,000 yuan on hand. Four cents is good, I was beaten and earned eighty-five thousand! ”

Zhu Huaijing still smiled and said, "Listen to me, Lao Song told me that he has handled a lot of things like Simao. Honestly, if you are beaten, you will be beaten, and even the medical expenses have to be paid by yourself. Some people talk, some give three or five thousand yuan, some pay three or five thousand yuan, and some pay one hundred and eighty thousand yuan, it depends on your ability. This time in the matter of Simao, if we hadn't come forward, there would be a maximum of three or five thousand yuan to compensate him, and he wouldn't be able to get a penny if he didn't get it right. I said, it's not that we are black-hearted, you give him 5,000 yuan. ”

Xiangmei's eyes bulged, and she said for a long time: "Ahhhh Your fingernails are too long! As soon as you stretched out your hand, you took 80,000 yuan? ”

Zhu Huaijing shook his head vigorously a few times and said, "You person, when have I ever been greedy?" I said that I would only give him five thousand dollars, which naturally made sense. To be honest, Simao only suffered a little flesh injury this time, and it would be almost the same to pay him 5,000 yuan. Besides, if it weren't for our efforts, he wouldn't even get 5,000 yuan. Why lose so much money, as long as we both know. Simao only has so much knowledge, you give him so much money at once, how can he not go outside to brag? If you brag about it, maybe something will happen! Even if you give him five thousand, he will be overjoyed. Where did he get so much money all at once in his life? He only slept in the hospital for two months, and he earned 5,000 yuan, which was several times higher than the mayor's salary. ”

Xiangmei didn't know whether she was angry or funny, and said, "You, taking other people's money, it's like giving someone a great favor." ”

Zhu Huaijing said: "It's exactly what you said." If you take ten thousand pieces from him, you will be gracious to you. If you take 80,000 yuan from him, you are gracious to him. ”

"You're a real bandit logic!" Xiangmei said.

Zhu Huaijing laughed and said, "It's not robber logic, that's the way things are." You said that if you say it in a clear place, Ming took 10,000 yuan from him, and he would never think that he got the money because he helped us, he would only think that we took 10,000 yuan from him, and we owed him a favor. On the other hand, we only said that they lost 5,000 yuan and gave it all to him, and he did not believe it, and he would be grateful to us. Then why don't we ask for favors, but owe favors? ”

Xiangmei touched the bag on the table, lowered her eyebrows for a moment, and said, "That's up to you." Don't say anything else, I'm afraid that he will have more money and go outside to brag about the truth. As soon as he brags, the matter is exposed, and our face will be lost? ”

Zhu Huaijing was uncomfortable when he heard this, he felt that Xiangmei shouldn't have said it so thoroughly, so he said, "Okay, okay, don't say more after the discussion." In this case, we won't cook lunch. I waited at home for my son to come back and take him out for a boxed lunch. You just go to the hospital quickly, so that Simao will be discharged at noon, so that the person who Longxing goes to check out in the afternoon will meet him. As soon as they meet, they may be involved in losing money. In the afternoon, you can go to the hospital again, settle the bill with them, and get back the medical expenses we have advanced. You can also buy something to eat on the way. ”

Xiangmei sighed and said, "Alas, there is no way, you are a busy person, and you can't rely on you, so I have to run." What to do with this money? ”

Zhu Huaijing smiled: "You are really, you don't know what to do if you have money." You count out five thousand and put it aside, and the other eighty thousand go and save it along the way. ”

The two of them had a good amount of money and went out together. Zhu Huaijing was waiting for her son at the gate, and Xiangmei went to the bank across the street to deposit money. Watching Xiangmei walk through the street and enter the bank gate, Zhu Huaijing subconsciously gritted his teeth. They had 20,000 yuan in their passbook, which they had accumulated over many years. Add these 80,000 pieces, and they have 100,000 pieces. 100,000 yuan, his chest couldn't help but jump a few times.

I didn't see my son come back for a long time. After a while, Xiangmei came out of the bank and beckoned to him from afar. He found that Xiangmei's face was red, which must have been the reason for his excitement. For the first time in her life, she carried a passbook of 100,000 yuan, how could she not be enthusiastic? He wanted to ask Xiangmei to return the 80,000 yuan of four cents now, but he was afraid that she would not want to.

Zhu Huaijing suddenly thought of another section, and he didn't feel a little scared. In case it is known that they have made false medical records and fraudulently compensated Longxing Hotel for 85,000, it constitutes the crime of fraud! Thinking about it this way, if you don't give so much money to Simao, you must be doing the right thing. I'm afraid he'll go out and brag! Zhu Huaijing thought that he couldn't tell Xiangmei about such a serious consequence, for fear of scaring her.

Xiangmei stopped a taxi, beckoned to him, and got in. Xiangmei is usually reluctant to sit in a taxi, but today she got up generously. He knew that it wasn't that she would make a fortune and immediately spread it, but that he was worried about the five thousand yuan in his bag and the passbook. On the bus, there are too many pickpockets.

Not long after Xiangmei left, she saw her son jumping and jumping. The little ghost looked around, and there was no serious meaning of walking. Zhu Huaijing shouted Qiqi several times before his son saw him and ran over as if he was flying.

He leaned over and hugged his son and said, "Would you like to have a fast food with Dad today?" Kiki listened and jumped for joy. Children love freshness, and on weekdays, their mothers buy only four yuan a box of economic box lunches, and Kiki also eats them with relish. Zhu Huaijing saw his son so happy today, and suddenly felt a little guilty in his heart. He has been spending too little time with his children lately. On weekdays, if he doesn't go to the hotel to draft a big report, he just sends the child early in the morning, and the child comes back for lunch at noon. The child's homework in the evening is basically tutored by Xiangmei, and he always has something.

Zhu Huaijing took off his son's schoolbag, put it on his shoulder, and said, "Let's go to a good place with my father today, okay?" ”

Kiki took her father's hand, jumped away, and said, "Okay, what's the good place?" ”

"You go with Dad, and you're here."
