Volume 1: The Girl and the White Dragon Chapter 12: The Nothingness of Life
When I got home, I vomited a lot of pain and started a headache.
Sure enough, I am not suitable for drinking, so don't drink again next time.
The next day, I went back to work and everything was as usual, but the change was that I used a new coffee cup and returned to the days of drinking hand-ground coffee and fishing happily every day.
My time with my intern became shorter, she didn't work overtime anymore, and I didn't stay in the office that long anymore and started going home to rest more often.
Meeting is a very ordinary greeting, and there is nothing superfluous.
After a few more days, the working group entered a state of collective overtime, and the newly developed software had a fatal crash during the detection phase and had to be overhauled, of course, the broken part of the project had nothing to do with the part I was responsible for.
After more than a week of "rescue and disaster relief", a new social software for young users with short video function landed on major platforms on time, with high downloads and praise.
Then it's time for the end of the year to select the "Top 10 Outstanding Employees" for various departments within the company.
"The following are the top ten outstanding employees of the company's technical department, he is young, honest, reliable, kind to workers, helpful, patiently teaching juniors, cultivating talents, hard work, excellent work ability, and promoting unity within the group... has made a significant contribution to the development of the company!"
"Let's give us a round of applause...... Ren Longtian, the leader of the social development team of the technical department!"
I yawned in my seat, and if it weren't for the requirement that all employees be present and that there was security at the exit of the venue, I would have slipped away.
Is this guy who still gets off work at the end of the week when he works overtime, usually looks at his watch every day, and arrives late and leaves early at every turn?
And the worst BUG paragraph was all the part that guy was responsible for, and when the whole group worked overtime to change it, it was quite like a primary school teacher working overtime to change the composition, which was really a headache.
"It's not fair!"
"Huh?"
I actually heard someone complaining, and it was quite loud, so I immediately looked at the person and realized that it was actually an intern girl who is usually very quiet.
I immediately messaged her to warn her: "It's too loud".
The intern girl immediately covered her mouth as soon as she saw the message on her mobile phone.
Her panicked appearance made me almost laugh out loud, and I had to admit that this little girl was indeed very cute.
Finally, before I could snore, the year-end employee commendation meeting ended.
"Why are you saying 'it's not fair' so loudly?"
After the meeting, I found my intern in the crowd and walked with her on the way out of the company.
"Isn't it nice to look at our 'top ten' team leader like this?"
Well, I'm not happy either.
The intern girl said indignantly: "Obviously... Obviously, this award should be given to Brother Lu. ”
"Huh, how can I afford this?"
I was thrilled by the intern's speech, and I listened to the bunch of comments, and it seemed that there were only a few of them who had anything to do with us?
The intern looked up at me seriously and said, "Brother Lu, your experience and skills are the best, and your work is also the hardest, and the core projects of our group were all completed by you." ”
"And Brother Lu, you are also the best person I have ever met. If Brother Lu, you don't win this award, no one in the group is qualified. ”
"Uh... What are you doing in your eyes, how can I be so powerful. ”
I scratched my head in some annoyance, my intern had a high opinion of me, and if she didn't have the right one with our team leader because of this, her final evaluation of the internship that was about to end would be terrible.
"But that's it... Why don't you go up..."
Since the end of the conference, the intern has been fighting for me, I think she is so excited because she heard the story of me and Ru Yan, and thought that if I could be promoted in the company, I could save the tragedy, right?
So I also restrained my frivolous attitude and replied seriously: "We people are originally divided into three, five or six, and the higher the class people have, the more opportunities and resources they have, and they don't even need any effort to do what they want to do, and they can casually reach the point where the lower level people can't work hard for a lifetime." ”
"Why? Can't they be equal? Why should people from the lower classes be obedient?"
The intern girl is very puzzled.
"Equality for all is false. ”
I sighed, the question was complicated, but it didn't seem like much of a problem right now, so I started my tirade.
"Where is everyone equal? Commoners and powerful are always two different concepts. Commoners challenge the powerful, play the powerful, that's a novel, that's a fairy tale. In the case of unequal resources, people cannot be compared. ”
"Brother Lu, under what circumstances will classes be abolished? In the era of equality for all, will it take a long time?"
I thought it was a boring tirade, but the intern girl, who is a good student, actually listened to it, and looking at her radiant appearance, it seemed like she was about to take out her own small notebook to take notes.
"Unlimited resources... With unlimited resources and living space, there is no need for everyone to depend on anyone to form a class. ”
I coughed lightly and left an end to my tirade.
"Some people work hard all their lives, and they are not as good as others to cast a good baby. The reality is as simple as that. ”
Yes, I'm actually upset, but what's the use of me being upset?
In the eyes of the powerful and background guys in the company, I am just a useful social animal.
Peace of mind and be your own role within the rules, so that there will be no problems.
Otherwise, the gun will shoot the first bird, and I dare to challenge those people, and they will move their fingers and say a word, and I will never have a chance again.
Instead of annoying yourself, think about something else.
We chatted and chatted before we knew it and arrived at the entrance of the subway station, and the intern girl didn't seem to be going to take the subway.
Before leaving, she asked, "Brother Lu, are you going to the 'Heaven' party tomorrow?"
"No, I still want to live. ”
I blinked in confusion.
"Well, it's a KTV called 'Paradise'! ”
"Oh, what's the meeting?"
"The celebration party, everyone in the group should be going, didn't you get the notice?"
"Uh, I'll see, okay, I didn't read the news. ”
I took out my phone in my pocket and looked at it, and found that there was indeed this in the group announcement.
"Are you going to go?"
"Go ahead, there are no new missions for the time being, anyway. ”
"Okay, then I'll go too. ”
The intern smiled and waved back to me as she bounced away.
"Goodbye! Brother Lu!"
"Well, be careful on the road. ”
I nodded and beckoned to say goodbye to her.
But as soon as I came to the place the next day, I regretted it, the grade of this paradise KTV is high, but the characteristic of KTV is lively.
And I'm not a person who loves to be lively, not to mention that the core of KTV excitement is around those who can sing.
I have self-knowledge, others sing for money, I sing to death......
The most accurate tone I sing is the national anthem, and the other songs can run to the sky out of tune, and the original singer can sit up from the coffin when he hears it, knock the coffin board and lie back.
"But this girl is really good......"
The humble colleagues and I casually said hello and found a quiet corner to sit, and then watched the only young girl in the intern group being held on stage by the men again and again like a little princess.
Of course, the intern girl's singing voice is indeed very good, the voice is soft and crispy, and it can't help but remind people of sweet glutinous rice balls.
She seemed to glance at me a few times, but my figure was immediately blocked by the crowd, and I didn't look at her too much.
By the way, this party seems to have the meaning of celebrating the success of our top ten team leaders, even his minister's uncle came, and the old pervert kept staring at the intern girl on the stage, staring at people's breasts and calves under their skirts at every turn.
And the intern girl who is constantly invited to the stage is also very distressed, but I don't want to be nosy, and besides, I don't have a part to talk here.
So I ate the snacks on the table one by one, and then I found a bottle of colorful drink on the table, which felt very delicious, so I opened the lid and drank it.
As a result, it didn't taste right, it wasn't a juice, it was a cocktail.
Of course, there may be some juice mixed in it, or the juice mixed with wine, in short, the taste of this thing is unexpectedly good.
Anyway, this event is none of my business, so in order to pass the boring time, I started to drink.
The intern continued to sing on stage, her voice and appearance getting closer and closer to someone as I eliminated one cocktail after another.
More and more like her, more and more like her......
"You... Yan?"
I squinted my eyes and found Lin Ruyan standing on the stage with a tired smile on her face, singing for those men.
At last, the song was finished, and her exhaustion could not be concealed, and a tall and sturdy man walked up to the stage and patted her on the shoulder affectionately and motioned for her to go down.
Don't touch her, okay?
I frowned unhappily, and that man was Ru Yan's ex-boyfriend, the annoying rich second generation.
You have nothing to do with her now, she doesn't like you.
I whispered in my mouth.
Then Ru Yan walked off the stage, and there was only one seat in the stage, and she could only sit there.
And the one next to the seat was the elegant-looking director.
I pursed my lips and bit my teeth into my lips, biting out a bloody hole.
No, don't... Please......
However, Ru Yan didn't hear my inner voice, she sat down and sat next to her director.
The director smiled and put his hands on her shoulders, a pair of large hands trying to grope for her.
Ru Yan reached out to block his hand, but the man still leaned towards her with a hippie smile, and Ru Yan obviously couldn't push him away, and she cast a plea look at me.
"Damn ......"
I gritted my teeth and got up from my seat, holding the bottleneck of the bottle in my hand, and staggered towards the guy.
"Xiao, Xiaolu, you, what do you want to do?"
The man let go of the woman in his hand in a panic, while I looked at him indifferently.
The commotion around suddenly stopped, time seemed to freeze, and everything stood still.
And my heart was still beating, "plopping, plopping", beating violently.
Oh, it's time for me to do something.
I looked down at the old man and moved my right hand holding the bottle.
"Stop him!"
Someone shouted that, but before they could do it, I had smashed the bottom of the bottle on the old fellow's bald head.
This "clang" sound is really pleasant.
Blood was dripping from the bottom of the bottle, and the man collapsed unconscious on the glass coffee table.
Boom!
There was a sharp dull pain in my face, and someone punched me in the right side of the face from behind, and the force was so great that my glasses flew out.
My body shook and eventually I fell to the ground on my back, my head buzzing and the whole world spinning in front of me.
And the sneak assailant sat on top of me relentlessly, and two fists "whirred" at my face.
The heavy fist seemed to smash my nose crookedly, and there was viscous fluid coming out of my nose and the corners of my mouth.
Isn't this our top 10 team leader?
Instead of being knocked unconscious by the attack, my head cleared up and began to see the attacker's appearance clearly.
I glanced at the central seat and saw that the man who was being cared for by several people was none other than my boss, who was now carrying a large bag on his head and his head was covered in blood.
The intern girl stood next to me and shouted something in a panic, but the team leader's fist was still beckoning to me, so that my ears couldn't hear anything clearly.
This made me very irritated and decided to fight back.
"I... TM... Gave you face?"
I muttered indistinctly, lifted my knee and slammed into the object's genitals.
"Hmm!!"
Sure enough, the guy froze, and I took advantage of this gap to lift my upper body and slam my elbow into his heart, forcing him to retreat in pain, and I was not going to give him any chance when I was back on my feet.
When his center of gravity was unsteady, I immediately lunged at him, and when he tried to block with both hands, I hit his unguarded abdomen with my knee.
Although I haven't fought in a long time, I've learned to fight in the past.
In the face of an opponent who is physically stronger than himself, then where he can't fight, he must fight, and he must defeat the opponent with the momentum of thunder, and he cannot give the opponent a chance to counterattack.
So this tall and handsome, usually no less fitness bubble girl team leader, under my set of combination attacks, did not breathe at all, and I successfully strangled his neck with both hands, and then kicked his heels, he could only fall to the ground when he lost his balance, and I strangled his throat, strangled his face from red to blue, and did not let him exert any strength.
"Xiao Lu, calm down and let go!"
"That's right, the team leader also saw that you beat his uncle before he did it, you were at fault first!"
"yes! Don't do anything stupid!"
......
These guys don't talk when I'm being beaten, and when it's my turn to beat the team leader, they get active.
And these people also leaned towards me, some seemed to be calling the police, and the KTV security guard also came.
But I didn't want to get caught up in passivity, so I freed up my hand so that the group leader could catch his breath, then grabbed the bottle on the ground and smashed the base, aiming the sharp shards of glass at his throat.
"Don't come here, I'm very excited now, you stimulate me, maybe he will have to stay in bed for the rest of his life. ”
was threatened by me like this, and no one around me dared to move.
"Brother Lu, you ......"
The intern who was one step away from me seemed to want to say something to me, but I just shook my head slightly and told her that I was actually calm.
Not long after, the police came.
Before they could pull out their pistols, I threw away the "murder weapon", let go of the coward, who had been so frightened that I peed my pants, and raised my hands to obediently accept the "silver bracelet".
Because I was too calm and calm, the two policemen who rushed to the police were a little surprised, and when they carried me away, the force in their hands was lighter, after all, I had no intention of not cooperating.
At the police station, I told them what had happened, and they took notes and let me stay in the bars.
Being detained at a police station for the first time was a bit of a novelty, and I sat on a cold bench with nothing on my mind, just counting the ants crawling on the ground.
A few hours later, the cell door was opened, and a young policeman came in with a smile and said to me:
"You can go, remember to bring your own personal belongings. ”
"Huh, no, shouldn't I be locked up for a few days?"
I stood up a little confused and watched as the police comrade uncuffed me.
"Someone pleaded not guilty to you, and after discussion, our side decided that you were defending yourself. ”
"Well, but I seem to have beaten up my boss. ”
Although I was forced to fight back by beating the top ten team leader in the back, it was indeed my first move to beat the leader, and I thought I would be sentenced to a few months.
"He violated women's personal rights and interests first, and your help belongs to righteousness and courage, and it is also in legitimate defense. ”
Comrade police officers took the trouble to give me popular science and legal knowledge.
"In addition, both of them are slightly injured, if you have a conflict in the future, we generally recommend private mediation. ”
"Oh, yes, okay! Thank you, comrade policeman. ”
Of course I'm overjoyed, so tonight is a good one.
"Don't thank me, if you want to thank you, thank that girl outside, she, an important witness, has been arguing with us for a long time, otherwise you may not come out so soon. ”
The police comrade smiled and waved me to leave quickly.
"Brother Lu, are you okay? They didn't do anything to you, did they?"
As soon as I left the police station, my intern jumped up in front of me, handed me my glasses, and then looked around at me, looking at the bandaged wounds on my face and feeling heartache.
"You ......"
I didn't know what to say, but when I thought back to the hallucination, my heart cooled down again.
"Let's go back early. ”
With that, I beckoned to hail a taxi.
The intern asked worriedly, "Brother Lu, will you come to work tomorrow?"
“......”
I didn't answer, I went straight into the car, closed the door, and didn't look at her until the car was almost far away, and then I looked back at her figure that was about to disappear into the night.
On the second day, I came to the office early.
But I'm here to submit my resignation and sort out my personal belongings.
If this happens, even if I don't resign, it will be a matter of time before I am dismissed.
Of course, the main thing is that I fully realize that this is a garbage company, and I leave early and be happy.
And the intern girl defending me is bound to provoke those guys, and the longer I stay here, the more it will affect her.
The approval efficiency of large companies is high, and the resignation of a social animal like me, who is dispensable and troublesome, was approved as soon as it was submitted.
Before I left with a backpack full of my personal belongings, I stopped for a moment by the intern's place.
The internship period of the intern girl is almost over, what should I say?
Good luck with your work.....
After leaving a note that said "Good luck with your work!", I left the company.
And then...... I went back home, and I was supposed to find a new job after losing my job.
But my heart is tired, very tired.
I don't want to work, and I don't want to do anything serious.
I started playing an online game of Xianxia, and I thought to myself, although I can't achieve anything in real life, there is always a place for me in the virtual world, right?
As a result, I was wrong, I found that these games look better than reality, in fact, the recharge system is full of "charge money to become stronger".
At first, I thought I had a lot of money, and I could call the wind and rain in the game and enjoy a beautiful virtual life.
However, apart from feeling a little happy at the beginning, my mood in the later stage turned to infinite nothingness, and as soon as I moved up the ranks, I immediately met a strong opponent.
Those strong opponents all have one thing in common, they are recharged, and they are charged a lot.
Okay, I'll play with you.
Anyway, I still have a lot of deposits in my bank card, and I don't want to do anything else now, so I want to play as a big guy in the game.
As a result, I just charged a hundred dozen and charged the first one, and I met a thousand, a thousand, and a thousand...... It made me doubt life again.
It turns out that there are many people in this world who want to get an experience in the virtual world that they can't enjoy in reality.
In this way, it is competition, and it is the law of the jungle, but it is just a change of environment.
My heart is not filled with the happiness of the illusory world, but is more illusory, more empty.
I wasted a month like this, and then I went to look at my bank balance.
It's good, it's only three digits left.
Another order of 648, I can't even afford to eat.
The joy of the virtual world requires reality to pay for it.
I've worked so hard for so long that all my savings are barely enough to get me through this for a month.
