Xiao Tang knew that his girlfriend Wen Zhu must have come back, so he hurriedly said to Tu Cheng, "Brother Tu, I'll go wash my face first." ”

Wen Zhu, who came in with the key to open the door, carried two bottles of canned beer in his arms. Don walked over from the kitchen with a wet face.

"Hello, I'm sorry I bought this." Wen Zhu handed a bottle of a can to Tu Cheng's hand, and after handing the other can to Xiao Tang, he reached out to clean up the dishes and chopsticks on the table.

"Brother Tu, let's go inside and talk about it!" Xiao Tang glanced at the back of Wen Zhu walking towards the kitchen with a bowl and said to Tu Cheng.

Tu Cheng followed Xiao Tang into the bedroom, and Xiao Tang casually closed the door and locked it.

"I'm sorry Brother Tu, I can't let Wen Zhu hear it, I'm afraid she won't be able to stand it."

Tu Cheng nodded.

Then, Xiao Tang and Tu Cheng talked about him and Wenzhu. Wenzhu and Xiao Tang are each other's first love since junior high school, and they are in a different place in college. After graduation, Xiao Tang came to Guancheng from Dalian to work hard, and Wen Zhu, who graduated from Xiao Tu Cheng's first class, also followed.

The two of them lived together like this.

When Wenzhu knew that she was pregnant, she was already three months old. At that time, Wenzhu insisted on killing the child. Don Jr. kept begging her on his knees, it was their first child.

However, unfortunately, Wenzhu had just joined the company for less than half a year before he informed the company about his pregnancy. The company's personnel finally fired Wenzhu under various difficult excuses.

For the sake of their children, Don Jr. worked harder. However, when the child was at the four-month prenatal checkup, the doctor said that the child's growth was stunted, the mother's nutrition did not keep up, and now the child is five months old.

So, Don Jr. worked harder. I go to work during the day, and after work, I ride an electric car out to deliver food whenever I have time.

But on a food delivery trip half a month ago, due to the customer's non-stop phone urging, Xiao Tang didn't pay attention and hit a pedestrian who was passing at the red light intersection. As a result, the pedestrian suffered multiple soft tissue injuries and two thigh fractures.

The traffic police finally determined that Xiao Tang was fully responsible for running a red light and failing to slow down to avoid pedestrians.

To this day, the pedestrian who was hit by Xiao Tang is still lying in the hospital. The family has come to make trouble many times, and the 21-inch TV that Wenzhu and Xiao Tang originally bought from the second-hand market has also been moved.

Xiao Tang's laptop was still wrapped in several layers of clothes, wrapped in plastic sheeting, and stuffed into the innermost part of the kitchen cabinet before it was found.

Xiao Tang confessed to Tu Cheng that he took the source code and sold it to the previous company for 8,000 yuan. However, the 8,000 yuan has now been handed over to the patient's family.

"But, do you know that the loss you caused to the company is more than 80,000 yuan!"

"Brother Tu, I know, but I can't help it!" Don Jr. continued to wipe away a handful of tears.

Tu Cheng covered his hands over his face, took a deep breath and said, "You don't have to worry, I will be on the company's side."

Go figure it out. ”

After speaking, Tu Cheng stood up and walked out of Xiao Tang's house without looking back.

??

"Don, I used the last eight dollars to buy a can!" After Tu Cheng left, Wen Zhu said to Xiao Tang.

Xiao Tang walked over and took a look, Tu Cheng didn't open the can just now, so he put it back on the table directly. Xiao Tang's can was still not opened, but he took it to the bedside table in the bedroom.

Seeing the two cans that had not yet been opened, a trace of joy floated in Xiao Tang's eyes, and he held the two cans in his hand, "Where did you buy them?" ”！ ¥ Aichi Literature ~! Free to read

Xiao Tang held two unopened cans of beer in his hand, Wen Zhu took his arm, and the two of them went downstairs together.

??

When he returned to his residence that night, Tu Cheng sent an email to the general manager Qian Xiangdong, telling Qian Xiangdong directly, informing him of the whole process of the matter, but repeatedly begging Qian Xiangdong not to hold Xiao Tang accountable. What a rare and outstanding talent Don Jr. is. In short, he used almost all the vocabulary he had accumulated over the years.

Tu Cheng also said at the end of the email that everything was his own fault, and he blamed himself for his momentary negligence and did not set the computer boot password, which gave Xiao Tang a chance to take advantage of.

Why is the source code placed in the backup gone, Tu Cheng explained that he reinstalled the system and accidentally lost it.

In fact, anyone who knows a little bit about computers probably knows that his flawed rhetoric is almost the same as deceiving elementary school students. But for straight men who have always been not good at words and only have a soft spot for program code, naturally they can't organize any exquisite language to convince the leader.

As soon as he got to work on Wednesday, Qian Xiangdong walked into Tu Cheng's office with an old face.

"Tu Cheng, do you treat me as a three-year-old child? Don't think I don't know! ”

"Mr. Qian, that's the way things are, it's all my fault!"

"I've never seen a person like you who protects your subordinates without a lower limit and still treats people as kings." Qian Xiangdong slapped Tu Cheng's desk hard. The glass teacup on the table of Tucheng was suddenly shaken to the ground, and the tea leaves in the cup were scattered on the ground, and the tea flowed on the floor little by little.

"Oops, chassis!" Tu Cheng hurriedly tore a large ball of toilet paper and put it on the ground, blocking the way of tea.

Qian Xiangdong didn't continue his actions, but Tu Cheng continued, "Mr. Qian, don't be so angry, I accept the company's punishment." ”

"Tu Cheng, this is a matter of principle."

"I know, Mr. Qian!"

"Then tell me why you are so protective of him? You see, he's dealing with crime. Qian Xiangdong's face still looked angry.

Then, Tu Cheng and Qian Xiangdong described in detail the current situation of Xiao Tang and Wen Zhu.

"Tu Cheng, a company is not a charity, what are we doing to open a company. The answer is only two words: profit

。 Do you understand? ”

Tu Cheng nodded and said, "Mr. Qian, you still directly said how to punish me, right?" Or simply I quit my job and leave, and I don't want last month's salary. Tu Cheng said neither humbly nor arrogantly, the expression on his face was calm and unwavering.

"Who gave you the courage to negotiate terms with me, Liang Jingru?" Qian Xiangdong slapped Tu Cheng's desk again. A pot of pothos on Tu Cheng's desk was shaken a few times.

"But Don ......

Before Tu Cheng finished speaking, Qian Xiangdong only let out a "hum", and walked out of the door of Tu Cheng's office with blood-red eyes.

??

Don Jr., I've done my best! Tu Cheng lay on the table dejectedly.

Before leaving work in the afternoon, Tu Cheng suddenly saw a new email in his mailbox. Click on it and see that the sender shows the company's board of directors. The email was copied to everyone in the company.

When he saw the three words of the board of directors, Xiao Tang's heart was broken.

However, what neither he nor Tu Cheng expected at all was that the body of the email was such that Tu Cheng, the head of the technical department, was used by a competitor due to his negligence, which led to the leakage of trade secrets that should have belonged to the company. However, remembering that Tu Cheng has been conscientious to the company for eight years and has made great contributions to the development of the company, he will not be dismissed. However, the three-month bonus and year-end bonus of the current year will be deducted.

Signed by the Board of Directors.

This email Xiao Tang burst into tears, which means that he is okay and his job has been saved. But he deeply understood that it was Director Tu Cheng who helped him.

Xiao Tang went to the bathroom to wash his face and rushed directly into Tu Cheng's office.

Tu Cheng, who had planned to look for Xiao Tang later, suddenly raised his head from behind the computer screen.

"Brother Tu, I ......" Xiao Tang's face was flushed, but he couldn't say any more.

"I'm sorry, Don Jr., I did my best!"

"That's not the case, Brother Tu."

"Then, this ......" Tu Cheng didn't know what Xiao Tang wanted to express.

"Just... Just now... Did you see the email from the board? ”

Tu Cheng opened the mailbox as it was.

Don Jr. thought he would make a fuss about himself after reading the email. Unexpectedly, Tu Cheng said as if relieved: "It's okay, Xiao Tang, you go to work!" ”

"Wait a minute, Don Jr.!" Just as Xiao Tang turned around and walked out of Tu Cheng's office, Tu Cheng stopped her.

"Brother Tu......"

"Xiao Tang, here is 5,000 yuan, you take it and use it first, and buy some food for Wenzhu!" Tu Cheng handed Xiao Tang a brown paper envelope.

"Brother Tu, you have done me a great favor, and you are still being punished for me, how can I still take your money?"

"Don't talk nonsense, take it. This money is for Wenzhu to buy food, not for you! ”

Xiao Tang slowly stretched out his hand to take it from Tu Cheng

The envelope that came over and bowed fiercely, "Brother Tu, Xiao Tang will definitely remember everything you did for Xiao Tang." ”

That night, Xiao Tang went back very late, and Wen Zhu reheated the meal three times, but Xiao Tang still didn't come back. The family of the patient who was hit came here twice more today.

At ten o'clock in the evening, Wen Zhu was trembling downstairs. I'm going to go to the commissary downstairs to call Xiao Tang's company and ask if it's overtime?

Don Jr. originally had a mobile phone, but the family members of the patient who was hit last Saturday have been blocking the door and refusing to leave. Xiao Tang had no choice but to take the mobile phone to a mobile phone repair shop and sell it for 300 yuan. In the end, the patient's family took the 300 yuan and scolded and left.

At first, they even had to push away Don's electric car, but the electric car was rented by Don Xiao from a rental car outside.

The light bulb in the corridor was broken, so Wen Zhu had to grab the handrail of the stairs with one hand and the gas lighter in the other, and turn on the lighter every time he stepped down.

Originally, it only took a minute or two to go down to the first floor, but Wen Zhu took more than ten minutes.

When she went down to the first floor, the heat emitted by the gas lighter that kept turning on and off had burned her palms with two big blisters, and her heart hurt.

Under the dim street lamp of the community, she saw the familiar figure walking towards her, carrying a large plastic bag in her hand.

"Aren't you at home? There are no lights at night, what are you running down for? What if I fall? Little Tang Dynasty Wenzhu asked.

Before he could speak, Wen Zhu's voice choked up, "I... I'm scared! They came twice more today. ”

Xiao Tang hugged the trembling Wenzhu in his arms, "Xiaozhuzi, don't be afraid, it's okay, I'm here!" ”

The dim and faint lights of the old-fashioned neighborhood pulled the two hugging figures out of shape that night.

At this time, outside the walls of the community, the sound of motorcycles speeding by. Singer Liang Jingru's "Courage" is playing loudly on the motorcycle, and the sound breaks the dark night that has gradually quieted down.
