Chapter 90: Urban Neon (6)
"Miss, are you alright?" Just as Su Tao recalled his golden retriever, a young man in a black suit and sunglasses walked over and said with concern: "I have parked the car at the entrance of the community, is it going directly to school?" ”
Su Tao tilted his head and thought for a while, smiled slightly, and said, "No, Aze, go to Tianyuan Road!" ”
The young man who was the driver and bodyguard, Aze, didn't even ask, bowed lightly and took the dog chain handed over by Su Tao, and walked to the door of the community with Su Tao at a constant distance of one meter.
In Aze's code of conduct, the eldest lady's words are orders, which should not be refuted or questioned, but can only be carried out unconditionally.
When Chen Rui returned to the water station on Tianyuan Road, the proprietress was rarely leaning on the door and munching melon seeds, as if she was waiting for him.
Approaching noon, the sun is blazing, Chen Rui is already sweating, but he still finished the morning's workload in advance, lunch and other things will be eaten on the way, and if you can finish the work early in the afternoon, you can go home early to play the training list.
"Water down!" Chen Rui was just about to carry a bucket of pure water into the hot tricycle body, when the proprietress spit out the melon seed shell in her mouth, clapped her hands and stepped forward.
"Boss, what's the matter?" Chen Rui wiped the beads of sweat on his brow that were about to roll off with a soaked sweat towel and asked.
The proprietress glanced at Chen Rui with some regret, pinched out a few banknotes with two fingers from the small backpack she carried and handed them to Chen Rui, and said: "You did a good job, but it's a pity that you were complained, no way, this is your salary for the past few days." ”
Chen Rui had already heard that the proprietress of the water station was planning to fire him.
"You don't ask why?" The proprietress saw that Chen Rui silently put the hard-earned money of the past few days into her personal pocket, took off her work clothes expressionlessly, and did not have the slightest intention of resisting, as if she accepted this qiē very lightly, and couldn't help but be curious.
But the proprietress clearly remembers how Chen Rui cherishes this cheap job.
Chen Rui changed back into his clothes and said, "It's useless to ask!" Thank you hostess for taking care of me these days, thank you. ”
After bowing to the proprietress , Chen Rui turned around and left.
In Chen Rui's impression, he has always been conscientious in delivering water, and he has always been praised by customers, and the only conflict is that he had an argument with the rich girl who walked the dog at the gate of the community this morning.
As a former rich child, Chen Rui is quite familiar with this kind of trick, isn't it just to spend some money to let the proprietress fire herself, Chen Rui also did a lot of similar things back then, now that I think about it, it's really naïve and ridiculous.
Chen Rui doesn't blame the proprietress, it is the nature of businessmen to chase after profits, and that rich girl only needs to threaten, how can the proprietress of an ordinary person dare to fight for him, a little person?
Being able to settle wages normally already shows that the boss lady still has a minimum conscience.
Chen Rui's appearance was very calm, but his clenched fists still betrayed his mood at this time. This job is not easy to come by, and now it is lost by others, which may be just a temporary fun and revenge for the rich girl, but for Chen Rui, it ruined his opportunity to earn medical expenses for his sister.
The hatred that had just emerged in his heart immediately faded, and Chen Rui smiled bitterly, this is the reality! When you are not strong enough, you can only be trampled under the feet like an ant, and the so-called hope will be destroyed in an instant.
Endless hatred and complaining are useless, and the only thing you can do is to try your best to make yourself strong, so that you will not be arbitrary.
Taking out the crumpled piece of paper with a phone number written on it from his pocket, Chen Rui hesitated for a moment.
The number on this piece of paper was written by He Xiangman before Chen Rui left, and the owner of the number was Chen Rui's distant third uncle.
He Xiangman was worried that Chen Rui might encounter difficulties when he went to HB City alone, so when he encountered difficulties, he asked him to find this third uncle. The third uncle is a relative of He Xiangman's mother's family, and he is working as a chef in a restaurant in HB City at this time.
But Chen Rui clearly remembered that when the third uncle came to the Chen family for help because of a leg injury and had no money to pay for medical expenses, his father Chen Tianhong blasted the third uncle out of the house with a desperate face.
People are under the eaves and have to bow their heads! Chen Rui really didn't want to trouble Big D, he had already brought enough trouble to Big D, so with the mentality of giving it a try, Chen Rui hesitated again and again, and finally dialed this unfamiliar number.
In the end, Chen Rui met the lame and gray-haired third uncle in a small restaurant not far from Zhenxing Street.
"Didn't eat! Come on, I'll stir-fry for you! The third uncle, who was already a little rickety, didn't ask anything, and pulled Chen Rui and walked towards the restaurant.
Although the ordinary home-cooked meals are simple but very exquisite, the taste is very delicious, and before Chen Rui opened his mouth, the third uncle said: "I have heard about your family's affairs, I am already old, and I can't help too much, but if you don't have a job, you can do it here now."
The work is very simple, mainly to deliver food to college students in HB University, usually help the store to do a simple hygiene, the minimum salary is 1,000 and a half, including food and accommodation, and there is a commission for food delivery, that is, the meal time is busy, and the other time periods are still very leisurely, think about it. ”
"I did it!" Chen Rui did not hesitate at all, and immediately nodded in response.
"That's okay, the proprietress has something to do when she goes back to her hometown these days, I can still call the shots about this matter, there is a small storage room in the back, you can stay there for the time being." The third uncle said.
"Third uncle, one green pepper shredded pork rice bowl, two fish-flavored shredded pork rice bowls, HB University E-sports Club!" At this time, the waitress who was busy packing takeaway at the front desk shouted with a phone around her neck.
"Okay, right away!" The third uncle propped himself up and said, "You eat first, I'll be busy!" After speaking, he limped into the smoke-filled kitchen.
Looking at the busy back of the third uncle, Chen Rui took a big bite of white rice, but tears flowed down uncontrollably.
At that time, the third uncle seemed to be able to keep his right leg with only more than 20,000 yuan, and that money was just his pocket money for three months, and the third uncle was obviously less than fifty years old, and being pressed on his shoulders by the burden of life at this time made him look like a sixty-year-old man.
With the words of the third uncle just now in his mind, Chen Rui's nose was sour, and he always felt that he owed the third uncle a lot.
The restaurant is not big, plus the third uncle and him, there are only ** people, four of them are waitresses, three are young men who deliver takeaways, and the signboard at the door reads: Sister Qiao fast food restaurant.
"That's it!" The weather was still hot in October, and after a while, the third uncle, whose face was red and sweating profusely, carried three rice bowls to the counter.
The female front desk looked around, thinking that the three takeaway guys had just gone out, and couldn't help frowning.
"Third uncle, I'll send it!" Chen Rui put down the rice bowl that he had eaten for less than two bites, and got up and said.
"You!? All right? HB University is a bit big, do you know where the esports club is? Chen Rui, who looked up and down at the female front desk, was full of suspicion.
"It's okay, I can ask." Chen Rui patted his chest and said confidently.
The female front desk saw that the third uncle nodded, and then pasted the note with the amount and address on the white packaging bag of the three fast foods, and then handed it to Chen Rui.
"The car is in front of the store, be careful on the road!" The third uncle asked.
Chen Rui rode a bird electric car with the logo of "Sister Qiao Fast Food Restaurant" and waved his hand to the third uncle behind him, and went straight to HB University.
For Chen Rui, who has never been to HB University, the campus is indeed a bit big, and after asking six people, Chen Rui finally came to the outside of the teaching building on the ninth floor, parked the car at the door, and went up to the fourth floor with three fast foods.
The fourth floor is where the HB University E-sports Club is located.
In recent years, with the popularity of the game League of Legends, many universities have set up e-sports clubs that are different from traditional clubs such as basketball, football, and tennis, and many schools have even allocated special funds to build electronic reading rooms.
It is said that it is an electronic reading room, but in fact, it is a small Internet café opened in the school, and the users are all students, and most of the uses are for students to train and compete in e-sports such as DOTA, LOL, and Hearthstone.
Even many universities have set up school teams to participate in regular large-scale competitions held by various universities across the country, and like traditional sports such as football and basketball, they also have their own rankings and honors.
It can be said that esports has become a very important sport in universities.
"The two freshmen who came to sign up yesterday saw it, it's so beautiful! I didn't expect the quality of this year's school girls to be quite high! ”
There are fifty or sixty computers in the electronic reading room of the e-sports club, but compared to the number of members, there is still no supply, so except for some senior members and directors who can try computers for free here, other ordinary members can only watch or wait until there is a vacant place to use them.
At this time, there is a projector in the room of more than 100 square meters,The picture of the LOL game is being broadcast live on it,Judging from the two camps in the room and the ten opposite members who are concentrating on operating the keyboard and mouse,It should be that the members of the e-sports club are holding a simulated game,Most of the people around are spectators。
And it was one of the members who was watching the game, who wore the emblem of the e-sports club on his chest.
"Yes! But don't mess around, as soon as they enter the school, they have already been taken by people, one of them is named Li Jiamei who seems to be very familiar with Xiao Fei, as for that Wen Ting, our Su Dashao has already taken a fancy to him, do you think you can rob him? The other man smirked and said.
"Forget it, I've seen Li Jiamei, Ya is an iceberg, whoever has seen it knows! As for Wen Ting, hehe, Su Dashao is in a fancy to him, who have you seen win? ”
"Let's watch the game well, look, Xiao Fei and Carry! He's been a bit blind lately! ”
Chen Rui, who had just walked to the door, happened to hear this sentence, and among the ten people who were concentrating on the game, he really saw Xiao Fei who was playing the game seriously, and the hero Xiao Fei used was the blind monk.
"Who's ordering the takeaway?" Sensing that most of the people in the room were watching the game seriously, Chen Rui didn't dare to be loud, carrying the takeaway and asking people one by one.
"Here, here! Why is it so slow today! Hmph, what should I do if my brother is hungry? A girl with a flattering and bumpy figure stepped forward with some dissatisfaction, threw the meal money into Chen Rui's hands, and walked towards Xiao Fei with the fast food without even looking at it.
"Brother Fei, your rice!" The girl said delicately in Xiao Fei's ear.
"Don't you see I'm busy?" Xiao Fei had a cigarette in his mouth, his eyes staring at the screen, and he said impatiently.
"Brother Fei, be gentle, you scare people!" The girl said coquettishly.
Xiao Fei ignored this, still focusing on his own operation, of course, from beginning to end, he didn't see Chen Rui behind him.
PS: The second shift is in the early hours of the morning, no need to wait.
