Chapter 8 Lao Li

Getting up, washing, and having breakfast, it took less than twenty minutes to finish the work, Chen Xiao packed up his clothes, dressed up, and was about to go to work.

"What are you going to do?" Xiao Zhengtai didn't know when he had come behind Chen Xiao.

"I'm going to work."

"I'm going too?"

"I'll go, what are you going to do?"

"It's so boring to stay at home, I want to go out and play!"

"Nope"

"If you don't let me go, I'll demolish this house!"

......

Chen Xiao walked on the road dejectedly, followed by Xiao Zhengtai, holding a popsicle in his hand, licking happily.

Passing by the door of a comic strip, Xiao Zhengtai disappeared with a whoosh, and he leaned on the window, looking at the albums, his eyes full of longing.

"Let's go, these albums are so expensive" Chen Xiao pulled Xiao Zhengtai.

Xiao Zhengtai hooked his hand back, and a strong force attacked, Chen Xiao stumbled and almost fell to the ground.

"Uncle, just buy a copy, okay?" Xiao Zhengtai looked at Chen Xiao pitifully, pleading.

"No, this month's salary is not even enough to eat," Chen Xiao immediately refused.

"To buy or not to buy?"

"Don't buy it!"

"Bang!" There was a crisp sound, and Xiao Zhengtai smashed the glass with a punch, took a comic book and ran.

"Hey!" Chen Xiao looked at Xiao Zhengtai's back and stared speechlessly.

"This unlucky child of your family, lose money quickly!" the obese shopkeeper came out and grabbed Chen Xiao's chest, and said fiercely.

......

In front of the company, Chen Xiao stood slumped, and Xiao Zhengtai was lying on the stairs in the distance, holding a comic book, reading it with relish.

There was a screeching sound of tires rubbing, and a big red Ferrari stopped in front of the company.

Chen Xiao was slightly angry in his heart, who is so unqualified, park the car in front of our company, take two steps forward, Chen Xiao will step forward and educate him with righteous words.

The car door opened, a snow-white calf stretched out from the car, the crystal high heels stepped on the ground, and a shadow stepped down from the car.

"Damn!" After Chen Xiao saw the people getting out of the car, he scolded secretly, quickly turned his head, and pretended not to see it.

"The road is narrow, why is this woman again!"

The beautiful woman passed by Chen Xiao and glanced at him, with a hint of doubt in her eyes, how could this security guard stand guard with his back on his back, he really disobeyed his responsibility. Forget it, don't care about him, it's important to settle accounts first.

Hurriedly stepping on high heels, the beauty walked forward angrily, with a thousand postures brewing in her heart.

The crisp sound of high heels gradually faded away, Chen Xiao raised his head, glanced around carefully, exhaled, and stood tall at the gate.

After a while, a voice suddenly came.

"Chen Xiao, come on!" Behind him, Lao Li, the manager of the security department, greeted him, and Chen Xiao turned around and took the order to follow.

The office of the Ministry of Security, a room covering an area of more than 100 square meters, is full of various fitness equipment.

At this time, dozens of big men from the security department were standing in the middle of the house, lined up neatly.

Lao Li took Chen Xiao into the room, Chen Xiao looked at this battle, and his body was shocked, what was the situation?

"Let's go back" Lao Li patted Chen Xiao on the shoulder and walked to the front of the crowd.

Chen Xiao trotted to a position in the last row of the line, stood still, and waited for Lao Li's lecture. He is 1.86 meters tall, the tallest in a group, and he has a bit of a stand out from the crowd.

Lao Li cleared his throat, and a deep voice came: "Recently, Mr. An has explained a new task, with good pay and simple tasks. Those who carry out the task will be chosen from among you. Now listen to me, those over twenty-five are out of the ranks!"

A crowd of people came out in a sparse manner, nearly a third.

Lao Li looked at a short and fat figure standing at the front, took two steps forward, kicked the man's buttocks, and scolded with a smile: "Damn, Lao Liu, what kind of calf are you pretending to be a dog, are you under twenty-five years old?"

"Report to the captain, I am only twenty-four years and eleven months old, and I am still a month away from twenty-five!" replied the short and fat man.

"Lao Tzu joined the army with you, joined the special forces together, and retired again, Lao Tzu doesn't know the age of your kid, get out of here!" Lao Li kicked the short and fat man's ass again.

The stocky man smiled and stepped out of the group.

"Okay, if you are over twenty-five years old, get out of here, don't fish in troubled waters for Lao Tzu!"

More than a dozen people from the line came out.

In the same place, there were only two dozen people left.

Lao Li glanced around, nodded, and said: "This task is very special, we are required to be more than one meter eight in height, good-looking, and weigh no more than one hundred and fifty pounds, and those who do not meet the requirements will come out."

Seven or eight more people came out in a sparse manner, and there were eighteen people left in the crowd, and a few of them looked a little hesitant, wanting to leave but unwilling to go.

Lao Li's face turned dark, and he walked to a young man, looked down at him, and said, "Xiao Zhang, your kid has grown tall in the past two days?!"

"Uh...... Hmm!" the young man replied.

"Well, you're big, come out for Lao Tzu!" Lao Li grabbed Xiao Zhang's neck with one hand, shook his arm, threw him out, and scolded: "Stinky son, it's bad to stay with these veteran ruffians!" Lao Li stretched out his hand and pointed at Lao Liu and a few people, all of whom were Lao Li's comrades-in-arms.

Xiao Zhang propped up his arm, somersaulted on the spot, stood firmly on the ground, laughed dryly, and walked to Lao Liu's side.

"Hey, boy, I've been making progress lately," Lao Liu patted Xiao Zhang's shoulder and smiled.

"In general, it's just a little bit better!" Xiao Zhang said proudly.

"Yo, the tone is not small, let's practice for a while?" Lao Liu smiled and hugged Xiao Zhang's neck.

Xiao Zhang's expression froze, and then he looked at Lao Li with a wry smile, and said, "Boss, Brother Liu bullied me......" The pitiful expression made everyone laugh.

Lao Li also scolded with a smile: "You two living treasures, it's important to do business, Mr. An is still waiting, don't make trouble!"

When the two of them heard this, they both laughed, and everyone quickly quieted down and listened to the order.

"Okay, now it's still in accordance with the requirements, the ones who should be out of the queue, don't mess around anymore!" said Lao Li seriously.

Out of the eighteen, eight more people came out, and in the end only ten people remained.

Lao Li glanced at it and nodded.

"Very good, you are all honest children!" Lao Li's words immediately made everyone laugh again.

Chen Xiao also smiled, looking at Lao Li, who was laughing and scolding, his mind suddenly returned to three years ago.

It was winter, and the cold wind was smashing people's muscles and bones.

Chen Xiao walked on the road alone, carrying a dagger in his arms, he was hungry and cold, he couldn't stand it, he couldn't make money without a degree, he couldn't eat, so he could only go to robbery.

He found a dark street to ambush, and the first robbery, he was very serious and nervous.

In the depths of the street, a figure walked slowly with steady steps.

The man was a stout man, wearing loose clothes, and a pair of sharp eyes staring straight ahead, not squinting.

Chen Xiao looked at the figure and held the dagger in his hand tightly, and a trace of sweat appeared in his palm.

The man walked to the edge of Chen Xiao's ambush point, Chen Xiao jumped out with a snort, stopped in front of the man, took out the dagger from his arms, pointed at the man's chest, and said tremblingly: "Hit ...... Rob and hand over all the money you have!"

The man reacted almost instantly, his body tightened, his hands raised to his chest, and he took a defensive stance. But after seeing Chen Xiao's shivering thin body in the cold wind under the dim street lamp, the man suddenly put his hand down, looked at Chen Xiao, and said, "Little brother, haven't you eaten yet?"

"I didn't ...... No, you have to take care of it! Take ...... Take the money!" Chen Xiao shrank and said toughly.

The man suddenly smiled and stretched out his hand suddenly, but before Chen Xiao could react, the dagger was taken away by the man.

Chen Xiao was stunned for a moment, looking at the man blankly, his heart was full of fear, he wanted to run, but suddenly felt as if his legs were filled with lead, and he couldn't walk.

"Children don't play with knives" The man put away the dagger, with a hint of warmth in his eyes, stared at Chen Xiao and said, "If you want to have a full meal, come with me!" After speaking, he walked forward.

Chen Xiao followed with a terrible step.

Chen Xiao followed the man to his house, and the man ordered him a bowl of tomato and egg noodles, Chen Xiao ate very happily, he felt that this was the most delicious meal in his life.

That night, the man talked to him a lot, life, dreams...... These things that no one had ever talked to him about, that night, Chen Xiao felt that he had transformed.

The next day, the man said he had found a job with him, and he has been working with him until now. That person is Lao Li!

In the most difficult moment of his life, Lao Li pulled him, and Chen Xiao will remember this kindness for the rest of his life. After that day, he had thought countless times about what would have happened to Lao Li if he had sent him to the police station at that time, and he had assumed countless possibilities, none of which could be better than today.

He was grateful, just as grateful to the kind old dean.
