Jiang Jianguo was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "What, isn't the food here to your liking?" But I heard Jiang Hao say that you used to eat here a lot, and you also like the dishes here. ”

"It's because I've been here with Jiang Hao too many times in the past, so I won't eat here anymore."

Jiang Jianguo stared at Xu Li expressionlessly for a few seconds, and suddenly laughed.

"What a pity! Didn't get to know you sooner! Actually, I like you very much, but you have no fate with Jiang Hao. ”

"Deputy Director Jiang, everyone is very busy, let's go straight to the point, what about the money?"

Jiang Jianguo shook his head with a smile, picked up a handbag from the chair next to him, and put it on the table.

"According to the agreement in the divorce agreement, your marriage house will be divided equally with joint property, but I think you may be in a hurry to use the money, so according to the 300,000 yuan I spent on buying this wedding house for you, our family needs to give you 150,000 yuan, you have no objection to this."

"Nope."

"Good. There are a total of 160,000 yuan in this bag, including the compensation of 10,000 yuan, you can order a little bit when you go back, if it is not right, come to me again. ”

"No," Xu Li glanced at the handbag in front of her, but didn't move, because she knew the old fox in front of her too well, if it was just such a simple matter as sending money, it would be impossible for him to ask her out in person, "Deputy Director Jiang, the matter between me and Jiang Hao has been finished, now it's time to talk about your own affairs." ”

"Hahaha!" Jiang Jianguo laughed, "Xu Li, Xu Li, I just knew that you were a beauty in our factory, and you just had a pair of skins, but I didn't expect that you girl is actually not simple." ”

That's not all forced by your family!

Xu Li smiled, didn't interject, and waited for Jiang Jianguo to continue.

"You wrote that letter."

Xu Li asked knowingly, "What letter?" ”

"Report Liu Jian's letter."

Xu Li understood, it turned out that Jiang Jianguo asked her to meet for Liu Jian's business.

Now that the words have come to this, Xu Li feels that there is no need to hide it, and she said bluntly: "I wrote it." ”

"I know all about his insult to you in the office, because of this incident, he has been punished, and the position of workshop director can no longer be continued, so I hope you can withdraw this report letter."

Jiang Jianguo put the letter written by Xu Li on the table and pushed it in front of Xu Li.

Xu Li glanced at the letter in front of her and sneered: "Deputy Director Jiang, do you know why I wrote this letter?" The prevention is that you will not call the police, and Liu Jian, a dog hooligan, will not be sent to the Public Security Bureau by you. Even if he Zhou Weiguo has a sense of justice, he will not dare to disobey your will, after all, he is just a small security section chief. ”

"Xu Li, you have to be forgiving and forgiving, some things, the past is the past, why bother? I don't want to see this kind of letter again, understand what I mean? ”

Jiang Jianguo took the letter and tore it in half in front of Xu Li.

"But what to do? I just can't forgive Liu Jian, a dog hooligan, when I think of the disgusting things he did in the past, I can't stand it, if I don't give myself a bad breath, how can I be worthy of myself? ”

"So, if I'm not mistaken, did you direct and act Liu Jian's insult to you in the office?"

Xu Li said with a smile: "Deputy Director Jiang, you are really imaginative!" What kind of virtue is that dog rascal, don't you know yourself? ”

Jiang Jianguo nodded with a smile and said, "Of course I know this, but I believe that he will not do this kind of thing again in the future." Secretary Liu asked me to bring you a message, I hope you can spare him this time, if you need any compensation, you can tell him directly, as long as he is within his ability, he will definitely satisfy you. ”

Xu Li sneered: "So, what are you and me?" If you suffer a loss, you still have to endure it? If it was before, I might have really put up with it, but now, I definitely won't put up with it anymore! It doesn't matter how much money you give! If you expel Liu Jian, call the police, and send him to the Public Security Bureau, maybe I will consider your request, but unfortunately, you choose to cover up, then I will never compromise! ”

Xu Li stood up, lifted the bag on the table, and sneered: "Deputy Director Jiang, although the letter was torn up, I clearly remember what Liu Jian did in my mind. Go back and tell Secretary Liu for me, since you Hon Hai Factory chose to cover up and was unwilling to accept it, then there is a place that you are willing to accept, so you can do it yourself. In addition, I hope you can become the director of Hon Hai Factory as soon as possible, and continue to be embarrassed with Secretary Liu! ”

After Xu Li finished speaking, she turned around and left.

Jiang Jianguo looked at Xu Li's back, his face was pale, and the hand holding the cup trembled slightly.

……

Xu Li walked out of the corner restaurant and breathed a sigh of relief, but still had palpitations.

Jiang Jianguo is really too deep in the city, when she was a daughter-in-law in the Jiang family before, although Jiang Jianguo smiled every time she saw her, she was just very afraid of him, and she didn't even dare to raise her head when she talked to him.

Maybe people are like this, it is really painful to change yourself, but as long as you take the first step, it will be much smoother after that.

It's hard to get started!

Xu Li has the 160,000 in her hand, and she feels a lot more at ease.

In the past, she hesitated to do anything, looked ahead, and always lacked confidence in the end, so she simply gave up, but now, she decided to get rid of this problem, since she has made up her mind to do this, then it will be resolved quickly, and there will be no delay for a moment.

Xu Li got on the bus, got off at Yongan Road, and came to the gate of Haishi University.

In an instant, she had a lot of thoughts, because when the college entrance examination was over, her first choice was here, and she was finally admitted as she wished, but unfortunately, she had to give up because of life.

Xu Li walked around and didn't find the door that was rent-seeking. But it's no wonder that in addition to a university, there is also a high school and junior high school not far away, and with the surrounding residential areas, business is naturally not bad.

Instead, on the boulevard far from the university, she found a small shop with the word "rent" on it.

Xu Li stood at the door for a while, observing the surrounding environment. Although the environment is very good and there are few shops, there are not many customers, it seems a little deserted, and there are not many people passing by. However, in many years' time, it will be one of the many popular check-in spots in Haishi, and all kinds of coffee shops or bakeries will spring up like mushrooms.

Don't be afraid of being cold, don't be afraid of fewer people, everything is difficult at the beginning, there will always be a way! Moreover, she always believes that most of the time, doing business depends on word of mouth, and the location of the Internet celebrity food stores she has been to before is not good, but the reason why she can become an "Internet celebrity" is still relying on hard power.

The owners of the store are a husband and wife, because the family is in urgent need of money, and the business of the store has been sluggish, so they can only seek rent, but after renting for so long, they have never negotiated a cooperation. As soon as they heard that Xu Li wanted to rent this shop, the couple instantly became enthusiastic about Xu Li, poured water for her, and invited her to eat ice cream.

Xu Li originally wanted to reduce the rent again, but after hearing the couple's difficulties, she thought about it and forgot it, so she didn't bargain anymore and reached a cooperation intention according to the couple's initial price. The couple said that they would call Xu Li after they had drawn up the contract, and if Xu Li had no objection, they could sign the contract, and Xu Li readily agreed.

Coming out of the store, Xu Li was in a good mood.

She didn't expect that renting a shop would be so smooth, although the location is not too good, but she can't rent a location that is too good, who would willingly give her the treasure of feng shui to make money?

……

When Xu Li got home, it was already past eight o'clock in the evening.

Originally, she wanted to go home and tell her parents the good news of renting the store, but as soon as she entered the door, she saw Sun Ruixue sitting on a chair with a sad face, and Xu Shun was even more anxious pacing back and forth in the room.

Xu Li pulled Xu Hui aside and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong with Mom and Dad?" ”

Xu Hui whispered in Xu Li's ear: "My brother hasn't come back yet, and my parents are very anxious." ”

Xu Li nodded, walked into the living room and said to Xu Shun and Sun Ruixue: "Parents, don't worry, Xu Jing is seventeen years old, and nothing can happen, probably because tomorrow is Saturday, so I forgot the time to play." ”

"If I was just playful, I wouldn't be in such a hurry," Xu Shun gritted his teeth angrily, "The problem is, this stinky boy hasn't been to school for three days in a row!" If it hadn't been for the call from his homeroom teacher at night, I would have been kept in the dark until now! Is this stinky boy crazy? The college entrance examination is coming soon, and he has this learning attitude! If you had known that, you shouldn't have given up the opportunity to go to college in the first place! This kind of child goes to school and wastes our money! ”

Xu Li smiled: "Dad, you're talking nonsense again!" At that time, Xu Jing was only a few years old, and now no one dares to hire child labor. ”

Sun Ruixue sighed and comforted: "Lao Xu, don't worry, when the child comes back, let's educate him well." ”

Xu Shun said angrily: "It's all what you are used to!" A few times before, he was caught stealing money, and I wanted to beat him, but you always stopped me! It's good now, the money is not stealing, but I don't want to study! ”

Sun Ruixue cried: "Do you blame me at this time? You usually don't care about the affairs of these two children, you just leave it to me, and now that something has happened, you are justified! ”

Sun Ruixue's words are true, Xu Shun really rarely cares about children. But he really doesn't care, he just thinks that as long as he makes money so that his children can go to school, have clothes to wear, and be fed, it is enough, and he doesn't need anything else. So whenever Xu Jing made a mistake, he always didn't say a word, and he would beat him up, but if Xu Hui made a mistake, Xu Shun didn't know what to do, so he could only throw her to Sun Ruixue or Xu Li.

Xu Li persuaded: "Mom and Dad! Don't quarrel first, the top priority is to find Xu Jing, this kid! ”

Xu Shun said angrily: "What else are you looking for!" It's good if you can't find it! Save worry! ”

Xu Li knew that Xu Shun was angry, so she didn't take a stubble, she asked Xu Hui on the side: "Do you know where your brother usually goes to play?" ”

Xu Hui pursed her lips and shook her head.

But Xu Li knew that this girl was lying, every time she lied, she had this expression, and this girl had a very good relationship with Xu Jing at this time, and they often went out together.

"Mom and Dad, Huihui and I went out to look for it."

Xu Shun was silent, he took out a cigarette and took a big gulp.

Sun Ruixue wiped her tears and said, "Why don't I join you!" ”

Xu Li refused: "Mom, you are not in good health and can't walk too much, I can go with Huihui." Don't worry, you'll be fine. ”

Sun Ruixue knew that her body would be tired after walking for a long time, and if she really followed, she would definitely drag her feet, so she could only nod in agreement.

Xu Li took Xu Hui downstairs.

"Let's talk about it now."

"Say what?" Xu Hui asked knowingly.

"Where's your brother? Where did he go? ”

Xu Hui lowered her head and replied in a low voice, "I—I don't know." ”

"Huihui, do you really want to make your brother fail to get into college?"

"I didn't!"

"Then tell me! If you don't tell me, then I don't care, he can play wherever he likes, but when the time comes, your brother won't be able to go to college, don't blame yourself! ”

"I ......"

"If you don't say it, forget it, I just happen to be tired."

Xu Li turned around and was about to go home, but was grabbed by Xu Hui behind her.

"Sister......" Xu Hui's voice was crying, "I said it can't be done yet!" ”

Xu Li turned around and looked at Xu Hui and said, "Then hurry up!" ”

"There's a playroom near their school, and I guess he's still playing there!"

……

This game room is very close to Xu Jing School, and it takes about five minutes to walk from the back door of the school, but the location is very remote.

Xu Li walked to the door of the game room and looked at the sign hanging at the door that said "Minors are not allowed to enter", and her heart became more and more angry.

This boss knew that minors couldn't go in, but he still let Xu Jing in, and he made money for children with a clear conscience, which was too much!

"Sister," Xu Hui tugged at Xu Li's finger, "Can you stop telling my brother that I told you?" ”

Xu Li smiled: "Do you think your brother is a fool?" If you hadn't told me, would I have found it? ”

Xu Hui lowered her head and didn't speak again.

Xu Li smiled and comforted: "Don't worry, your brother and I will clean up, he won't dare to trouble you." ”

Xu Li took Xu Hui into the game room.

As soon as she entered, Xu Li was almost smoked out by the smell and smell of smoke in the airtight confined space.

She can't stay in this kind of place for a minute! She won't come if she sticks the money! But speaking of which, this is also normal, this kind of place is actually very similar to an Internet café, although the games of this era seem old-fashioned, but for the children of this era are enough to make them addicted.

Xu Li looked at the young people in the game room who were intently holding the controller and playing games, and estimated that most of them were underage children.

If they don't come home so late, how anxious their parents must be!

No wonder Xu Jing did so badly in the college entrance examination, it turned out that he was delayed by this game console!

Xu Li felt a little blamed in her heart, it was precisely because she married into the Jiang family that she neglected the growth of her younger brothers and sisters, otherwise, the lives of these two children would not be a mess.

"My brother is there!"

Xu Li looked at Xu Hui's fingers, and sure enough, she saw Xu Jingzheng concentrating on playing the game, and he was still spitting dirty words in his mouth.

Xu Li was extremely angry, walked over angrily, and pulled Xu Jing from the chair.

"Who the fuck ......" Xu Jing swallowed the rest of the unfinished words when he saw that it was Xu Li.

A young man with dyed yellow hair and a ruffian-looking man jokingly said, "Oops! Xu Jing! Yes! Where did you find such a beautiful horse! Introduce me to one another day? ”

"Fuck you! Your mother is a horse! She's my sister! Xu Jing stood up, put on his schoolbag and walked out, and when he saw Xu Hui at the door, he held back his anger and yelled "traitor", and then went out without looking back.

Xu Li pulled Xu Hui to follow, and stopped Xu Jing behind him: "Stinky boy!" Stop! ”

Xu Jing stopped in place with a weak heart.

Xu Li walked over angrily, slammed Xu Jing's head, pointed at his nose and scolded, "You little rabbit cub! Gile, isn't it? If you don't come home so late, you're actually playing games here? Do you know how worried your parents are? ”

Xu Jing said impatiently: "Okay, okay, today is my mistake, I didn't pay attention to the time, and I won't next time." ”

"Do you want to have a next time?" Xu Li was so angry that she kicked Xu Jing's buttocks, "Where's the money?" Take it out! ”

"What money." Xu Jing asked knowingly.

"What kind of money are you talking about!" Xu Li tugged at Xu Jing's ears and gritted her teeth and said, "I haven't settled the previous account with you, and you actually caused trouble for me again!" Do you think I didn't know you stole the hundred dollars? You said you stole it, you stole it, and you actually planted the blame for it! Are you underwhelmed? ”

"Oops! Hurt! Xu Jing frowned and pushed Xu Li away.

"No wonder your grades are always counting down, skipping class every day and running here to play games, who is the last if you don't count down?"

"The students who took the first exam in our class also came here to play!"

"That's good! You can also give me a first look! If you get the first place in the exam, I'll buy you this game room! ”

Xu Jing knew how many catties and taels he had, so he didn't dare to pick up the stubble, and after snorting coldly, he turned around and was about to leave.

Xu Li walked a few steps quickly, grabbed Xu Jing's schoolbag belt and pulled him back again.

"Where's the money! Hurry up and give me the money! ”

Xu Jing knew that he couldn't hide, so he could only take out a handful of money from his schoolbag and hand it to Xu Li.

Xu Li counted, and her heart was even more angry.

It's only been a few days, and this loser thing actually cost more than fifty yuan!

Xu Li was so angry that she wanted to scold, but she didn't want to be a shrew on the street, so she could only glare at Xu Jing viciously, and pulled Xu Hui to go home.

On the way home, Xu Li and Xu Hui walked in front, and Xu Jing followed alone.

When he was about to arrive at the door, Xu Jing finally ran over and stopped in front of Xu Li and begged, "Sister! Don't tell my dad that you found me in the playroom, please! ”

Xu Li joked: "What, are you scared now?" Wasn't it very horizontal just now? ”

"Sister, I was really wrong!" Xu Jing clasped his hands together and made a plea gesture.

Xu Li didn't want to tell her parents about this, her parents were not in good health, if they knew that Xu Jing stole money to play games in the game room, they would definitely be angry, and when the time came, the gain would outweigh the losses.

She said that she is now the head of the family, and she handles the affairs of the family herself, and she solves the affairs of her younger siblings.

Xu Li threatened: "Then I warn you, if you dare to skip class and go to the game room again, I will definitely not spare you!" ”

"Okay, okay! As long as you let me go today, I will never go again! ”

Xu Li didn't believe that this stinky boy would have this consciousness, but it can only be like this today, and the rest will be talked about tomorrow.

Xu Jing followed Xu Li back home, and as soon as Xu Shun saw Xu Jing coming in, he grabbed the cup on the table and smashed it on the ground.

"You little bunny, you still have a face back!" Xu Shun picked up the feather duster on the side and was about to come up and fight, "I have to kill you today!" ”

Xu Jing was so frightened that he hid behind Xu Hui.

Xu Li hurriedly stopped and said, "Dad! It's so late, don't disturb the rest of your neighbors! If you want to fight, you will fight tomorrow! ”

Sun Ruixue also hurriedly persuaded: "Child, dad, don't be angry, be careful of damaging your body!" ”

Xu Shun scolded angrily: "This little rabbit cub is just underbeaten!" If you don't open the house for a day, you're talking about this kind of brute! ”

Xu Li smiled: "Dad! Although this stinky boy is a bastard, he still has a little conscience, and he knows that his grades have not been good recently, so he went to study at his classmate's house, and I found him at his classmate's house. ”

Xu Shun suddenly smiled, pointed at Xu Jing and asked, "Study?" Just what he is still studying? Learn a fart! ”

Xu Li smiled: "Dad, is it necessary for me to lie?" You still don't believe me? ”

Xu Shun looked at Xu Li and asked in disbelief, "Really?" ”

"Really!" Xu Li pushed Xu Shun to the bedroom and said with a smile, "This kid's conscience found out that it was not easy for me and you to support this big family, so he began to work hard." ”

Xu Li smiled and coaxed Xu Shun and Sun Ruixue into the house, and when she came out, she changed her face again, and said to Xu Hui and Xu Jing angrily: "Why don't you two hurry up and wash your face and brush your teeth to sleep?" ”

Xu Hui and Xu Jing said "oh" and obediently complied.

After staring at Xu Hui and Xu Jing after washing, Xu Li returned to the house.

The original good mood was disturbed a little by today's episode, Xu Li was a little depressed, lying on the bed tossing and turning for a long time, thinking about her younger brother and sister and the affairs of this family all the time, and fell asleep at more than two o'clock in the morning.

……

The next day, Xu Li was the last one to get up.

But there is no one in the family, not even Sun Ruixue.

Xu Li hastily finished the breakfast left for her on the table, and was about to go to the Industrial and Commercial Bureau to ask about the opening of the store.

Before going to the Industrial and Commercial Bureau, she went to Xu Jing's school and found Xu Jing's homeroom teacher, Mr. Huang.

Teacher Huang is an amiable young female teacher, but when she heard that Xu Li was Xu Jing's parent, Teacher Huang's face instantly became ugly.

Teacher Huang looked at Xu Li and sighed: "You said that you parents, even if you are busy, you should pay more attention to your children's learning." is already in his third year of high school, you say, if Xu Jing continues like this, will he be able to be admitted to university in the future? ”

Xu Li hurriedly nodded and said, "Teacher Huang's criticism is right, I accept it humbly, I really didn't pay much attention to my brother's learning before, and I will pay more attention to it in the future." ”

Teacher Huang sighed again: "Xu Jing, this kid really makes me love and hate. This kid has a good temper, cuteness, handsomeness, and a smart head, but he just doesn't have to be on the right path, you see, today's school was supposed to make up for the third year of high school, but he didn't come! ”

Xu Li was surprised: "Do you have to go to class today?" I thought I would have weekends off! ”

"You parents!" Teacher Huang shook his head helplessly, "Our school has been tutoring all day every Saturday and half a day on Sunday since the third year of high school!" ”

Xu Li was so angry that she endured her temper and was beaten down by the head teacher, so she left the school in a hurry.
