Chapter 19: Life Plans
The pavilion was not close to Tian Heliang's office, but it was not far away, enough to make his colleagues in the company unable to hear what they were talking about next and see the situation over there when the windows and doors were closed. The pavilion is also very good-looking, with red pillars and tiles, cornices and corners, and it has a unique flavor in a piece of ice and snow.
It's just that this flavor is limited to watching from a distance, not being in it.
The reason why the gazebo has a "cool" word, it is definitely not a joke, this four-sided ventilation pattern may be a good place to cool off in summer, and in winter, it is a cold wind, blowing into the cracks of people's bones. The cuckoo was originally afraid of the cold, but Tian Heliang chose such a place, and she had no choice, so she had to quietly pull the zipper of her coat all the way to the top and try to shrink her neck.
The three of them came to the pavilion and stood down, and the cuckoo felt that the cold wind behind him kept blowing, and the body temperature that was originally wrapped in layers of clothes seemed to be about to dissipate with the cold wind soon. Fortunately, this situation did not last long, and soon she felt that the wind behind her suddenly decreased, and when she turned her head, she just saw Tang Hongye move his position, stand behind her, and block the wind blowing from behind.
"Okay, now you don't have to worry about being heard by colleagues in the unit about your private affairs, you can tell us what is going on between you and Zhu Junhao, right?" Tang Hongye also knew what Tian Heliang's concerns were when he had to come out to talk outside, but it was really a little cold outside, and he felt cold, not to mention the cuckoo who was afraid of the cold, so he also wanted to go straight to the topic, make a quick decision, and don't procrastinate.
After all, the purpose of them looking for Tian Heliang to understand these is nothing more than to judge whether Zhu Junhao's sudden disappearance is mostly due to personal reasons, or because of the possibility of the male corpse in the house. And what is the root cause of the conflict between Tian Heliang and Zhu Junhao, and how much hatred there is, which also determines whether they have reason to suspect that Tian Heliang has some indirect connection with the case at hand.
"I really don't have the face to say this kind of thing in the company, let them hear it, and I won't be able to raise my head to be a man in the future." Tian Heliang said to them with a sad face, "I dare to swear to God, everything I say is the truth, and I will never talk nonsense, you must believe me, okay?" I'm really helpless right now! ”
"You say, let's listen." Of course, no one would give Tian Heliang a ticket for this kind of thing, so Du Juan simply bypassed this point lightly and let Tian Heliang speak clearly.
"That's the case,Actually, I didn't know Zhu Junhao at the beginning,Later, because I always buy lottery tickets at a lottery betting station,Chatting and chatting, we met,The friendship is not good,At least I personally think it's okay,So I never thought he was like this!" Tian Heliang was slightly excited when he talked about the contradiction between him and Zhu Junhao, "I will definitely buy every lottery ticket before, and what number to buy, that is also a decision I made after careful scrutiny and analysis, so this is a very serious and very cautious thing!" As a result, before the last lottery draw,My company is suddenly very busy,Every day overtime is very late,It's really impossible to leave,Delay to miss the beginning of that issue,I begged Zhu Junhao to help me buy a few designated numbers of lottery tickets. ”
"Aren't you on good terms with him? So why not ask someone else for help, but find him? ”
"I didn't just want to look for him, but I happened to meet him. That night I got home from work, I wanted to hurry up to buy, but it was time to go, the lottery station closed a little earlier than usual that day, I went to the dark light, the door was locked, and I didn't go far I met Zhu Junhao, he went out to eat with others before coming back, greeted me, I just thought about the lottery, I told him directly, let him help, I also deliberately carefully copied the numbers I wanted to buy on paper and handed them to him, afraid that he couldn't remember and make a mistake, I was quite grateful to him, Who would have thought that this grandson would roll up my lottery ticket as soon as he saw that he had won the lottery, and he would not admit it! ”
The expression on Tian Heliang's face was particularly painful and sad, even his breathing became short, and his chest rose and fell violently: "After buying it at that time, I told him, where do you live, I went to pick it up after work, he didn't tell me, told me that he still has a girlfriend at home, and his girlfriend doesn't like him to buy lottery tickets, if I go to him to pick it up, his girlfriend will have to have a conflict with him when he turns back, so when I can meet and when I will give it to me later." I didn't really think that much about it at the time, because I thought most people were okay, right? This time I really saw the wrong person, blind! I'm busy with work here, a fork on the lottery day passed, the day of the lottery I also specially checked, I was sure I won the lottery, the prize is a small 100,000, this is too important to me, I am very happy, call Zhu Junhao, let him make an appointment to find him to get the lottery ticket, at this time he turned his face, asked me what lottery tickets, said that he did not promise to help me buy lottery tickets from beginning to end. ”
"When you asked him for help, there was no one there, did you?" Cuckoo asked.
Tian Heliang nodded: "What I regret the most is this, it is indeed something that I have not considered, at that time, there were not many people on the road around, and there was no witness." Buy a lottery ticket just to win the prize when you have to your real name,There is no real name when you buy it,The lottery ticket is still bought by Zhu Junhao himself,I can't tell,But I swear I didn't lie,It was really he who stole my lottery ticket,Robbed my winnings! I dreamed of winning the jackpot and getting some money, but I didn't expect it to finally come true, and I ended up meeting such a bastard! ”
As he spoke, he couldn't suppress the sadness in his heart, and cried bitterly.
Du Juan and Tang Hongye were a little stunned, Tian Heliang didn't look like the kind of man with a delicate mind and rich feelings, on the contrary, his appearance looked quite rough, such a person, he suddenly cried while talking, and he cried very sadly, with tears and snot, which made people look really awkward.
Du Juan saw him crying like such an embarrassed appearance, his snot flowed out and he didn't even notice it, so he quickly took the tissue to Tang Hongye and asked him to help hand it over, Tang Hongye stuffed the tissue into Tian Heliang's hand, Tian Heliang didn't have so many scruples, took the tissue and blew his nose loudly, and sobbed for a while, before he finally calmed down a little, at least the tears stopped.
"I said, brother, it's not that I'm laughing at you, it's true that everyone has to be angry about this, but a big man, crying like this, with tears and a lot of snot...... Isn't it a bit worth it? Tang Hongye looked at Tian Heliang a little helplessly and said to him.
Tian Heliang had just cried, and he still had a thick nasal voice, he didn't show any unhappiness because of Tang Hongye's words, but shook his head: "You don't understand, you don't understand...... What I lost was not this bonus, what I lost was my entire life plan, I had always thought that I couldn't achieve it myself, but suddenly pie fell from the sky, my lottery number won the lottery, and gave me hope, but now Zhu Junhao stole my lottery ticket, which is equivalent to smashing the pot all the life plans I just felt had hope in advance! This kind of ups and downs, giving hope and then despair, is really too devastating! ”
"What kind of life plan do you have, success or failure is all on this bonus?" Tang Hongye asked suspiciously.
"My life plan is to get married and have children as soon as possible," Tian Heliang replied, "I am already 32 years old this year, and the virtual age is 33 years old, which is about the same age as me. But what about me? I can't even get married! I have a girlfriend, but her family does not agree with her marrying me, one is that I am six years older than her, too old, and the other is that my family is not rich enough, my job is not decent, and my income is not very high, saying that I have no ambitions. ”
"I take the liberty of asking, what kind of job are you?" Du Juan took advantage of this moment to hurriedly ask, itself a company that rents a house in a residential community and should be used as an office, the scale and strength are worth discussing, just in their office, the messy working environment makes it difficult to distinguish the nature of the other party's work.
Tian Heliang was asked by her, his face turned a little red again, and he looked a little embarrassed, and he hesitated for a while before replying, "I ...... I am a customer service, telephone customer service, the kind of telephone customer service that calls to find potential customers on the list. I am very old in our company, and our manager said that as long as I perform well and work hard, if he chooses to give a promotion, I will definitely be the first choice. ”
Du Juan nodded, that kind of telephone customer service is indeed a thankless type of work, although they work quite hard, but the so-called potential customers who are contacted by their phone are often not appreciative, and are not willing to give them any good attitude, the reason is very simple, first, inexplicably by the sales call to interrupt the work and life, many people do not like it, second, their contact information and even names and more personal information, I don't know through what channel was mastered by an unfamiliar operator, The anger of having your privacy leaked is most directly vented from the person who answered the phone and directly vented it to the telemarketer who called.
And more importantly, doing this kind of work, the salary income is often not proportional to the workload. Especially the company where Tian Heliang works seems to be not very strong, and the salary must not be very generous. It's no wonder that the family of Tian Heliang's girlfriend is not optimistic about his prospects.
Although there are 360 lines, the line is the champion, and there is no distinction between the high and the low in the profession itself, but there is a huge difference in income between the noble and the low, and the occupation is not expensive or low, and the living expenses are indeed there, so it is inevitable that many families will make this realistic consideration of their children's choice of mates.
"My girlfriend's father said, as long as I can take out 200,000 bride price money as a down payment and set a house, he will agree to my girlfriend marrying me, and the rest of the marriage, decoration or something, they can help, but it is the 200,000 down payment of the bride price, that is absolutely non-negotiable, I can do it, he let go, if I can't do it, my girlfriend is also twenty-six years old this year, his family said to give me a year, if you can't do it, you have to break up. My girlfriend cried a lot of times, and then she was a little relieved by what her parents said, telling me that she also wanted to live a stable life and didn't want to rent a house to live......"
Tian Heliang wiped his face: "I understand, if you want to marry a daughter-in-law, you can't even have a tile on your head, but my family is really difficult, I have been working hard to save money after I work, in addition to the lottery fund set aside every month, I don't even buy clothes myself, what I eat is cheap, but it's been a few years, plus the sponsorship of the family, I have only saved 100,000 just over 100,000, and there is less than a year to go, where can I save another 100,000 all at once?" So I really thought there was no hope, but suddenly the lottery was won! It's exactly 100,000 yuan, and if I add this, I'll have enough for the 200,000 bride price required by my girlfriend's family! I'm a man, I've been in love with a little girl for so long, can I not like it! Can you not love it! Do you want to marry her home and be a wife! As a result, Zhu Junhao was so stirred up, she was originally going to become my wife, but she had to watch her break up with me and marry someone else, can I stand it?! ”
As he spoke, he lost control of his emotions again, covering his face with both hands and crying, not to mention how sad he was.
This time, Du Juan and Tang Hongye didn't say anything, Tang Hongye stuffed Tian Heliang with a facial tissue, and the two of them stood aside and let him cry to his heart's content, venting his grievances and sadness.
Anyway, this kind of ups and downs may not be particularly good, the average person is greedy by others for a small 100,000 prize lottery is estimated to be thunderous, after all, it is not a small amount of money, not to mention that because of this small 100,000, Tian Heliang's life plan to marry and start a family with his sweetheart can be said to be in the palm of his hand, and it slipped away between his fingers in the blink of an eye, no matter who it is, I am afraid it will feel the same collapse.
Tang Hongye and Du Juan didn't expect in advance that Tian Heliang and Zhu Junhao's dispute about the lottery also involved such an important emotional problem, and it can even be said to be a major life event.
The two people also have the same consideration in their hearts.
