Chapter Twenty-Five: A Bad Day
"Director He, don't you have anything to say?" Jiaxin felt that there was no need to go around in circles.
"Since receiving the report letter, I also sent someone from our neighborhood committee to find out, your door was sprayed with words, what words were sprayed, I think you should know better than me, and now rumors are spreading, and there are more important, there are some children of the same age as you in the alley, those parents are afraid of being damaged by you, so they ask you to move out of Tianxing Hutong, I am a person who has come over, and I can completely understand their feelings. I invite you to come today, just to communicate and negotiate with you to come up with a solution, don't go to the end and hurt everyone's face! ”
said that it was consultation and communication, but the momentum of Director He's speech was there, and it was not Jiaxin who was accusing Jiaxin with a gun and a stick every word!
"So, Director He, did you determine that I had a bad style through the report letter, or through the words on my door, or through those rumors? Have you ever investigated whether this is true or not? ”
Director He was stunned? She was stopped by Jia Xin.
Jiaxin then asked: "Do you know that for a girl who is only seventeen years old, the words "bad life style" are enough to ruin her life, and you have no real evidence, just based on the report letter, or gossip, it is a bit hasty to conclude that I am such a person, right?" ”
Director He looked at the girl in front of him in a daze, she showed calmness and maturity that was not in line with her age, if she were someone else, I am afraid that she would have wilted in front of her, but she could still refute it with eloquence. But being questioned by a little girl about her ability to work, her heart was very unhappy!
"We came to you today just to hear your opinion, and we will investigate the investigation." Director He said coldly: "After all, this matter came out of you, and it seems right that everyone is pointing the finger at you, right?" ”
Jia Xin saw Director He's somewhat perfunctory attitude in her eyes and knew that she was a little annoyed.
"Really?" Jiaxin asked rhetorically: "Then it's better to investigate clearly and then come to me to talk, I still have something to do today." Gotta get out of the way! Although the neighborhood committee is not an institution like a police station, it also serves the people, so I believe that Director He should not casually wronged a good person, right? ”
"That's right!" Director He's words are naturally leaky: "If the masses have opinions, we will naturally receive feedback as soon as possible, and we will deal with them as soon as possible." ”
"So Director He, this is to blame me for not explaining to you that the door of my house was sprayed at the first time, so I can't deal with my problem in the first place?" Jiaxin did not show weakness.
"You kid, I didn't say that. I'm just going to find out. Director He took a sip of the water cup, and she could only see clearly now that the girl in front of her was not easy to deal with.
"Director He, I hope you can understand the responsibilities of the neighborhood committee, which not only has service duties, but also supervision and management responsibilities. My gate was sprayed with unsightly words by people with bad intentions, and people on the street pointed at me, not only did you let it go, but you didn't investigate, but notified me to move out of Tianxing Hutong as soon as possible, so you are not afraid that the masses will say that you are not doing anything? ”
Jiaxin's question made Director He's face a little unbearable, indeed, after receiving the report, coupled with the joint name of many parents, they went directly to the person concerned and did not do further investigation into the matter. I didn't expect to be caught by the party.
"Okay, that's all for today, I'll look into it!" Director He finally compromised: "Then you go back first, and I will go to you again if there is something!" ”
Watching Jiaxin walk out of the door of the neighborhood committee, Director He called a few subordinates and ordered them to investigate the truth of this matter! She is the leader of the neighborhood committee, and she must not let the masses say such things as inaction in the area under her jurisdiction.
Jiaxin walked all the way to the barbershop, her face was a little gloomy, all the way she was thinking, who sprayed the words, and who reported her, she thought about all the people she could think of, and after eliminating them one by one, she set the target on the woman in her neighborhood.
"Jiaxin, why are you here?"
Master Song's gentle words made Jiaxin come back to her senses: "Oh, master, I have something to do, and I'm delayed." ”
Song lightly didn't blame her for coming late, but just saw that she was a little absent-minded: "Today is Sunday, there are a little more people than usual, and they may be busy!" ”
Jia Xin laughed a few times: "Well, it's good to be busy, and you can make money if you are busy." ”
"You kid, you've lost your money!" Song lightly glanced at Jiaxin with some doting.
In fact, Jia Xin has saved a lot of money recently, in addition to being able to meet daily living expenses, she can still have a surplus, all thanks to the increasingly turning business of the barber shop. If not, I'm afraid she is still struggling to make ends meet.
While the three of them were talking, a young woman came to the store.
"Xiaochen, go wash your hair with a guest!" Song commanded gently. The guest followed Xu Xiaochen to wash his hair, and Song asked Jiaxin in a low voice: "The hairstyle you taught me last time, I think this guest is quite suitable, why don't I cut it later, and you will guide you by the side!" ”
Jiaxin was a little embarrassed, saying that such words as guidance made Jiaxin a little unbearable.
"Master, I'm sure you can cut it well!" Jiaxin said: "You can cut it without worry, I will watch from the sidelines." ”
In fact, Jia Xin thought that a veteran barber was standing next to a person who seemed to outsiders to be a hairy girl, pointing at him, which was a denial of the master's skills! She's just watching, and if the cut isn't as expected, she'll make up for it!
But it looks very good, the master has mastered it very well! And after the cut, the guests are quite satisfied!
After the guests left, Jia Xin said, "Master, while there is no one now, I'll go to the video store opposite first." ”
Jia Xin wants to buy a new Walkman, and she has been saving money for it. You can't always use Shao Cong's, people are polite, but she can't take politeness for granted.
But after hesitating, Jiaxin still gave up! She calculated that if she bought the Walkman, she would have little money left, and if there was an emergency or something, she would be completely blind, and in the end she only bought a tape.
The songs on it are all Jia Xin's favorites, and they are all masterpieces of Hong Kong and Taiwan singers in the early 90s!
Across the road, she only went back and forth for six or seven minutes, but she didn't know what happened in the barbershop in six or seven minutes.
Before she could speak, Senior Sister Xu Xiaochen walked up to her angrily, grabbed her hand, and asked, "Lu Jiaxin, you said that the master bought a full set of new haircutting tools a few days ago, was it stolen by you?" ”
Steal? The second monk of Jiaxin was confused, when the master bought it, she didn't know, how could she steal it. Senior sister is not good at this, she is too impulsive.
"Senior sister, if you have something to say!" Jia Xin looked at her grabbed wrist and said, "You let go of me first!" ”
Song Qingqing also said: "It won't be Jiaxin, it's because I have a bad memory and forgot where to put it." ”
Xu Xiaochen still didn't give up: "But the store is such a big place, I have found it everywhere, but I don't have it." ”
"Then how can you conclude that I took it?" Jiaxin asked Xu Xiaochen.
"Why? You tell me? ”
"I don't know!"
Xu Xiaochen let go of Jiaxin's hand, walked up to Song Qingqing in three steps and two steps, and said, "Master, there is something I haven't told you!" ”
On the first day Lu Jiaxin came to work in our store, she was able to find the rag I had stuffed in the corner, and I wondered if she had been here before, but she fooled her. And I clearly remember that I never told her what my surname was, and she opened her mouth and called me Senior Sister Xu, master, don't you think this makes sense?
After Xu Xiaochen finished speaking, Song gently glanced up at Jiaxin. But through more than two months of contact, she knows what kind of child Jiaxin is.
"Xiaochen, Jiaxin won't." Song gently soothed Xu Xiaochen's somewhat excited emotions: "Although Jiaxin has not been here for a long time, you and I know her personality."
Jiaxin stood aside and didn't say anything, there is no doubt that the master trusts her, and the senior sister is not wrong to suspect her because of what happened before.
"Master......" Xu Xiaochen shouted heavily: "After all, she is the last, do you believe in her so much?"
"It has nothing to do with first-come, first-served." Song gently patted Xu Xiaochen's shoulder.
Hearing Song say this gently, the grievances in Xu Xiaochen's heart suddenly surged up: "Then you mean that I, the one who came first, stole it?" When he said this, Xu Xiaochen's tears also fell: "Master, you are inevitably too biased towards her, I have been with you for three years, and I have worked hard without merit, how long has she been here?"
"Xiaochen ......" Song Qingqing is not good at words, and he doesn't know what to say when he encounters an emergency: "Master doesn't mean that."
This grievance has been accumulated in Xu Xiaochen's heart for a long time, and today's incident is just an introduction. So how could she listen to Song Qingqing's seemingly understatement explanation?
"Master, I know Jiaxin's skills are good! You are partial to her, and I have no complaints. But I'm also a monk, why do I wash the hair of my customers the most every day? "It was a theft, but the more it was involved, the more it was involved.
"Senior sister!" Jiaxin really didn't want to be silent like this anymore: "You can't say that, master, what's wrong with washing the hair of a guest?" ”
"I didn't say it was a shame, but I was able to cut my guests' hair!" Xu Xiaochen was obviously unconvinced: "But since you came, I only have to wash my hair!" ”
"Senior sister, don't forget, I was hired by the master, and you learned from the master as an apprentice. Do you understand the difference between the two? In other words, I am an outsider, and you are the person the master trusts the most! So, you can have an opinion about me, but you can't misunderstand the master, if a barber complains a lot even about washing the hair of a customer, then how can she be a good barber? ”
Frankly speaking, Jiaxin's mood is very unhappy today, and the matter of being sprayed on the door has not been clarified, so she was called by the neighborhood committee to talk, and when she returned, she was slandered by her sister for stealing things.
What a terrible morning!
