Although it is now the height of summer, the spirit market at night gives people a feeling of early autumn, and there is no trace of heat on the body.

A pair of middle-aged men and women under the street lamp walked on the path paved with goose warm stones.

Liu Yuan stopped, and Wei Chengdong beside him said, "What's wrong?" ”

During the walk, Liu Yuan obviously felt that Wei Chengdong's steps were sinking at this time, and the road not far away made the director of the public security bureau powerless, and his straight chest was a little rickety at this time, which was not what should be shown at this age, his body was being eroded rapidly.

It was not the years that eroded him, but the promises in his heart, the promise of the supremacy of the profession, the promise to sacrifice comrades, the promise to those who pinned his trust on him, the promise that I would not let my comrades be hurt again.

A teardrop slipped down the corner of Liu Yuan's eyes, "Old Wei, you're too tired, it's time to rest." ”

Wei Chengdong smiled when he heard this: "Yes, I will retire in a few years." ”

He gently lifted Liu Yuan's head curtain with his hand, and under the green silk was layers of white hair, "You are not too." ”

Liu Yuan squeezed out a smile and said, "Now as long as this child can be well, I will be content." ”

"Yes, Teng Ying is a sensible child, I think she will come back." After that, he said, "By the way, don't tell her about that yet." ”

Liu Yuan nodded slightly, "I'll do Tong Tengying's work as soon as possible, after all, the second elder's health is getting worse and worse, and it can't be delayed." ”

Before the voice fell, Liu Yuan's phone rang, it was an unfamiliar number from other places, and Liu Yuan hung up directly on such a number in the past, either by mistake or by fraud. But today she hesitated for a moment and pressed the key to connect, "Hey, which one?" ”

"Are you the warden of Liu Yuan?" He asked.

The voice Liu Yuan seemed familiar, and asked, "I am, you are." ”

"Ah, I'm the village chief."

Hearing this, Liu Yuan remembered that this person was the village chief who sent the petition at that time, "Is there anything wrong with you?" ”

"That's ......" Suddenly, Liu Yuan's face changed and said, "Where is the child now?" ”

......

"Okay, okay, I know, let's go over right away!"

Hanging up the phone, Wei Chengdong asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Liu Yuan said: "Tingting's grandfather passed away. ”

Tingting's situation Wei Chengdong knows, her parents died early, and she is dependent on the old man, but now that the old man has died, Tingting has become an orphan, "I buy a ticket." ”

"Okay."

There were people coming and going at the door of Company X, and people passing by unconsciously turned their eyes to Zhang Li who was standing at the door and waiting, which had been her here for several days in a row.

In the past few days, Mr. Li has evaporated from the world, and the phone can't get through, Zhang Li can only squat, but now, not to mention Mr. Li's office, even the company's door Zhang Li can't enter.

"Let's go back." The security guard persuaded.

"I must wait until Mr. Li." As he spoke, he was about to go to the company, but was stopped by the security guard, "Don't go." ”

"Don't stop me." After that, he continued to break inside, and the security guard was anxious, and the above had already explained, if she was let in, her job would be smashed.

He stepped forward and grabbed Zhang Li's arm, and then dragged him out of the door, "I'm offended, I can't help it." ”

Of course Zhang Li would not be arrested, she thought that Mr. Li was in the office, and at this time, a number of security guards came over to help, and pushed Zhang Li and pulled him out of the door, "You let me go!" Let me go! ”

The people in the hall all turned their eyes to Zhang Li, but there was no fear or respect or even schadenfreude, Zhang Li at this time was just a clown in everyone's eyes.

Zhang Li kept struggling, and the security guard began to get heavy, a security guard grabbed Zhang Li's hair and dragged Zhang Li out of the door very savagely, and the scene was chaotic.

Suddenly, a man in a cleaning costume rushed down, and she pushed the security guard away, "What are you doing!" ”

Zhang Li looked at people, her eyes widened, this person turned out to be her own secretary, Shi Yao!

......

Restaurant

Shi Yao shook her glass, first filled Zhang Li's wine glass, and then filled her own cup.

Zhang Li has been full of questions from seeing Shi Yao just now, no matter what is going on, it is impossible for Shi Yao to do cleaning in the company, "What's the matter with you?" Is it because of me? ”

Shi Yao didn't deny it, she raised her glass, "Sister, I respect you." After clinking glasses with Zhang Li, he drank it all and said, "I admit it." ”

"What do you think, you are a top student, be a cleaner? You still promise! ”

Shi Yao smiled helplessly, "You also know, I was commissioned by the company, to put it simply, only they fired me, but I couldn't fire them, and I couldn't pay huge liquidated damages." ”

"That's not going to let you do that! How can these people be so narrow-minded! ”

"Hey, where are you doing?" After that, he joked: "Just come and redeem me when you are developed, I heard that my brother-in-law is a powerful faction." ”

Hearing this, Zhang Li's face changed, and Shi Yao said, "What's the matter, sister?" ”

Zhang Li picked up the wine glass and drank it all, "It's nothing, we are not all the way." ”

"You're not going to break up, are you!?"

Zhang Liqiang held back her tears and nodded, Shi Yao didn't persuade much, and raised her glass, "We are all now the end of the world." ”

.....

In a few moments the table was filled with beer bottles, and everyone who came and went looked at the two women, who were sometimes laughing and sometimes crying, not knowing what had happened to them.

Shi Yao hesitated and said: "Sister, I have to say you, why hang yourself on a tree, there is no place to stay here." After that, he gave a thumbs up, "You can find any one, and you'll be here!" ”

Zhang Li held his head with his hand and said, "I just want to get back what belongs to me." ”

"There's something here, there's a lot of mess." Shi Yao said.

"I must go back! Get what I want, and give back everything that doesn't belong to me! ”

Shi Yao shook her head helplessly and said, "I understand what you said, but the current situation wants to be reversed, unless there is a miracle." Then he raised his glass again, "Come on, drink the bar, and put all those worries aside." ”

Zhang Li also raised his wine glass and said excitedly: "Yes, the troubles!" ”

"It's just, go to the special troubles."

Before the wine glass was put down, a very non-standard Chinese voice came from his ears, "Two young ladies, do you recommend giving me a cup too?" ”

The two looked at the person at the same time and said in unison: "Mr. Li! ”

Unexpectedly, Mr. Li, who saw the head and the end, actually appeared in this cheap small restaurant.

"How did you get here?" Zhang Li asked.

Mr. Li did not answer, but asked the boss a pair of dishes and chopsticks, Zhang Li said: "Don't be, let's change places, it's too shabby here." ”

Mr. Li waved his hand and said, "No, I think it's very good here." As he spoke, he just put a piece of food into his mouth, and then gave a thumbs up and reveled: "GOOD!"

"It's just an ordinary kung pao chicken." Zhang Lidao.

"That's a lot of money?"

"22 bucks." Zhang Li said a little embarrassed.

"This dish is the most authentic I have ever tasted, and to put it bluntly, it will definitely be recognized in a high-end hotel, the value will be increased dozens of times, and it will get some elegant names. But here it is a home cooking, why? ”

"Platform, he lacks a platform to show it, or an opportunity." Mr. Li was referring to a dish, while Zhang Li's answer was referring to being a person, referring to himself in general.

Mr. Li nodded slightly and continued to ask, "So how valuable is this dish to you?" ”

When Zhang Li heard this, he said solemnly: "It's big, it's very big." ”

"So are you willing to pay more to go to a high-end hotel and eat food that can be made in an ordinary small shop?"

Zhang Li understood what the price Mr. Li was talking about, "I am willing." Zhang Li replied without any hesitation.

Mr. Li pretended to be puzzled and smiled: "Why, doesn't this cost money?" ”

"Because I don't care about the taste, but the value of it, the value that can sublimate me!"

Hearing this, Mr. Li got up and looked at the environment on the left and right, "Well, it's really too low-end here, and it's hurtful and elegant." With that, he walked out the door.

Shi Yao couldn't understand what the two of them said, but when she saw that Mr. Li was leaving, she immediately said, "We can change places." ”

Mr. Li said, "Then bring this dish to my office." "Let's leave. Shi Yao's face was dazed, and she was stunned in place, and Zhang Li immediately got up and followed out, Shi Yao saw and heard about it, and chased it out, and the boss was anxious when he saw it, "I haven't paid the money yet." ”

Zhang Li took out a large ticket from his pocket, still on the table, "No need to look for it." ”

Shi Yao suddenly stopped and said, "Sister, didn't Mr. Li say to pack the dishes?" ”

Zhang Li's face was full of helplessness, and she took Shi Yao's hand, "Let's go, Mr. Li is waiting for us at the door!" ”
