30. I want to get the money first
In the last few days of her post, Qian Xiaoying had no intention of working, and was often stunned while brushing the bowls. I don't know when, the news that she came to work to earn money to go to college has been spread among colleagues, and everyone is quite sympathetic to this little girl who works hard, after all, she will leave in a few days, so she is also blind to her absence, and no one cares.
The last few days finally passed, and that night, after the busy meal time, Qian Xiaoying waited anxiously for the closing, and after her colleagues had left from work, she came to the door of Boss Qin's office and knocked lightly.
"Come in." Teacher Qin's voice was not loud, but at this time, in Qian Xiaoying's ears, it sounded like a thunderclap.
Slowly pushed open the door and walked into the room, the old desk lamp on the small desk emitted a dim light, and Boss Qin sat in the shadow of the lamp behind the desk, his face half-dissolved in the darkness, looking blurry. Qian Xiaoying took two steps, stood opposite Boss Qin across the small desk, raised her head and said cautiously: "Boss Qin, I have been working for a whole month today......
Boss Qin let out a "hmm", took a stack of hundred-yuan bills from the drawer and put them on the table, "This is three thousand, you count." ”
"Thank you, boss." Qian Xiaoying walked over to pick up the money, bowed to Boss Qin, and turned around to leave.
"Don't you count?" Boss Qin's voice came from behind.
"Nope." Qian Xiaoying didn't look back.
"Well, when you go out, you're not responsible."
Qian Xiaoying didn't speak again, just walked slowly to the door, and when she grabbed the doorknob and opened the door, she seemed to have exhausted all her strength, and she couldn't lift her legs anymore.
After a long time, Qian Xiaoying slowly closed the door, turned around, lowered her head and whispered, "Boss, what you said last time...... Does it still count? ”
"What's the matter?" Boss Qin's voice was flat.
"That's it...... The one you said ......" Qian Xiaoying's head was lower and quieter, "the transaction ......"
"Count...... Have you figured it out? ”
"I ...... I'm going to get the money first......"
"Yes." Boss Qin opened the drawer again, took out a bundle of money from it and put it on the table and slowly pushed it forward, "This is 10,000." ”
Qian Xiaoying hesitated, slowly walked to the table, and slowly picked up the stack of banknotes......
Qian Xiaoying couldn't remember what happened next, she forgot how Boss Qin got her to bed, she only remembered that it hurt, she only remembered that she was still holding the bundle of money tightly in her hand, and she only remembered that tears flowed out of her closed eyes, flowing through her temples and into her hair......
It was late at night when she came out of the Sichuan Flavor Hotel, Qian Xiaoying held a black plastic bag tightly in front of her chest with both hands, and walked forward with her body bent, the dim yellow light of the street lamp reflected on her face with a wooden expression, and her face was so pale that she was afraid of even seeing a ghost.
The night was gloomy, and when the wind rose from time to time, after a few lightning bolts, a muffled thunder suddenly exploded in the air, followed by bean-sized raindrops falling headlessly, Qian Xiaoying, who was walking on the street, was soon drenched all over, but she didn't have the slightest intention of dodging, just kept walking forward.
The rain became heavier and heavier, and small puddles soon formed on the sidewalk, Qian Xiaoying suddenly tripped and fell, and the plastic bag she was holding in her arms was thrown out a long way, she crawled over and grabbed the plastic bag tightly in her arms, curled up and lay on the sidewalk full of water, and suddenly cried loudly, crying so sadly......
