suddenly tired

Chapter 5 Apricot Garden-2

"I'm sorry, Second Uncle."

As soon as Ji Sumian got into the car, he quickly apologized.

"Shut up! I'm fucking number two, why did I take such trouble from you!"

"I am so sorry……"

"Don't talk! I want to answer the phone."

Zhong Lei's phone rang, and it was connected to the Bluetooth in the car. As soon as it was connected, a girl's voice was heard, and she asked anxiously, "Brother Lei, did something happen to you? Why did you suddenly spend such a large sum of money?" ?”

"It's okay, I'll go back."

"That's not what I mean. This is your money. I just saw a text message saying that you haven't used this card for several years. I'm afraid something will happen to you."

I could hear the girl's concern, which tinged with timidity.

"I'm really fine. I just took the wrong card. There are still passengers in my car. I'll call you later."

"Hey Lei brother, don't hang up, I know you don't want to call me, I just want to ask you how you are recently?"

Zhong Lei sighed: "Tian Tian, ​​I don't have any grudges against you. I'm fine. There are indeed passengers in the car." As he spoke, he touched Ji Sumian's arm, frightening him, " Say something!"

"Oh, that, hello, I'm...a passenger."

The girl burst out laughing on the other end of the phone, and Zhong Lei wanted to laugh too, but his anger was still there and he didn't want to give him a good face.

"Brother Lei, I think the place where you spend your money is Jincheng Entertainment or some other company. Why does the entertainment company ask you to pay? Is anyone bothering you?"

"It's a club. My relatives treat guests to dinner there. It's really all right. Now no one is looking for me anymore."

"I know you still hate the company, but don't hate me? I didn't understand anything at the time, and now I know that I was wrong. Brother Lei, I'm sorry."

"Okay, don't apologize, I didn't blame you, I'm really driving, tomorrow, can we talk tomorrow? I have something to do tonight."

"Okay, then you pay attention to safety."

Ji Sumian recalled the experience of being rescued by the driver's uncle just now, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, but he didn't dare to let him see it, so he could only bury his head very low, facing the direction out of the window.After Zhong Lei arrived at the clubhouse, he first looked up and down, as if to confirm whether he was injured, and then asked the clubhouse manager what happened.

"Mr. Ji spent more than 5 yuan, but he only paid less than [-] yuan. Would you like to pay for him?"

"Why did he spend more than 5 yuan? Do you have the bill details? Show me."

"Okay, wait a minute." The lobby manager printed out the details and handed them over, "Mr. Ji doesn't have much other consumption, but they opened a bottle of collector's edition Macallan, which is worth [-]. Don't worry, we They are all purchased through regular channels, and the prices are clearly marked, and if you need them, the purchase order can be provided."

Zhong Lei glanced at the actual consumption details, and he had nothing to say.

"Regular? Heh, the phone said he was arrested and taken as a young master, so it's considered legitimate? Do you want to call the police to see if it's legal?"

"I'm sorry, because before you came, Mr. Ji had a little conflict with our security guards. Both parties were a little irrational. I'm really sorry. We have ordered the security guards to apologize to Mr. Ji." The lobby manager's words were impeccable, Zhong Lei Handed over a card, "issue a ticket, personal."

When I got home, this invoice was photographed on the small square table in front of Ji Sumian.

"Tell me, what's going on." Zhong Lei moved a chair and sat in front of him. The distance was so close that Ji Sumian could even hear his heavy breathing because of anger. It was like an ocean wave. When it was slapped on his face, it was actually a little... sexy.

"say!"

Ji Sumian's untimely imagination was interrupted by a yell.

"sorry."

"Don't fucking apologize again, okay? I'll let you explain what's going on! Didn't you keep saying that you're not a dude and pretend to be obedient, so if you sell it, you'll get more than 4 yuan in wine. You're so rich, young master!"

"No, I really didn't see it clearly at the time. I thought there was a decimal point in the middle. The wine is more than 400. I really don't know any collections or anything. I haven't drunk it. I don't know..." Ji Sumian said It was messy, as if he was really frightened, and his voice trembled a little.

"Don't gossip about it, start from the beginning, why did you go there, you don't know where the clubhouse is?"

"I know, I originally ate with a few classmates, and we had dinner at Wendingxuan..."

Ji Sumian's classmate Li Chengyan is also from Donghai. He returned to China during the summer vacation. When he heard that he was in China, he contacted him to go out to play. I needed a job, so I gladly accepted.

The dinner was indeed Cantonese cuisine at Wendingxuan. Ji Sumian expressed to Li Chengyan that he could not go to the United States for the time being and wanted to find a job in China. The latter was also enthusiastic, so he called his father's secretary and asked about his home Is there any position in the company that can be arranged? The result of the contact is that it can provide an internship in the reception department, and Ji Sumian accepts it happily.After the meal, several other friends wanted to continue singing, so Ji Sumian also went to the clubhouse, and offered to treat guests by himself in order to express his gratitude.

Zhong Lei heard the explanation was reasonable, and his anger gradually calmed down: "So you found a job?"

"Well, the administrative reception department."

"How much pay?"

"Four thousand for regularization, three thousand and two for probationary period."

Zhong Lei frowned again.

"What kind of classmate are you? He deliberately tricked you?"

"No, I only studied in university for two years without graduating, so I can only follow the standards of an intern. He is very nice. We met in the pre-law class and did group assignments together. He won't cheat me. , Besides, why is he cheating on me? Do you think I'm not miserable enough?"

"What law? You studied law?"

"No, I majored in economics, minored in a pre-law program, and planned to enter law school after graduation."

"Ha." With a gloomy face, Zhong Lei let out a laugh, which made Ji Sumian's heart shudder. He always felt that this kind of laughter was not a good thing. As expected, "Study economics? I spent more than 5 to find a salary of [-] a month." Work, your return on investment is quite high."

Ji Sumian thought, what a master at satirizing people, but it's not over yet.

"Law school? Did your dad train you to prepare yourself a lawyer in advance?"

Ji Sumian trembled uncontrollably. He grew up so big, not to mention the rich clothes and fine food, at least the people he met were kind. Master, let him see how human beings can kill people with words, every word is vicious, every sentence pierces the heart.He took a deep breath and tried his best not to shed tears in front of him, but he felt so wronged in his heart that he drank a few drinks with them in the clubhouse. His stomach was not feeling well at first, but now it was even more uncomfortable. He hugged his knees and squatted down .

Zhong Lei thought he was about to fall, so he reached out to help him, but was slapped open with his backhand.Feeling drunk, Ji Sumian suddenly said:

"I will pay you back the money I owe you. Why don't I pay you all my salary? Why do you say that to me! I know I'm stupid. I haven't found any job after searching for more than a week. I'm a useless person! I Even if dad has committed a heinous crime, he is still my dad, and his crimes will be judged by the court. Why do you say that about him? You speak too badly, and I just... make you hate it? "

The accusation was loud and loud, but he couldn't pretend to be tough in the last sentence, his voice became weaker and weaker, and his tone became softer and slower, as if he was about to melt.

Zhong Lei looked at the child in front of him, thin and weak like a match, struggling to light up for a moment, without causing any large-scale combustion, it quickly went out, barely resisting.At this moment, he was holding his neck and waiting for himself to say something to choke back, but his body shook slightly, even if he relaxed a little bit, or if he poked his finger, he would collapse on the ground and melt into a puddle of powerless water, which made him feel uncomfortable. He couldn't bear it, "I'm sorry, I just don't sound good when I speak. You... When will you start working?"

Ji Sumian wiped his face, and pretended to wipe away tears casually: "Tomorrow, I will go through the entry procedures to get the uniform."

"Oh, then I'll take you there. It's late, go to bed."

Ji Sumian drank and played all night. He was extremely tired and fell asleep early.However, Zhong Lei rarely suffers from insomnia. In the past few years, he has slept in the car countless times, until the roar of the morning flight wakes him up. He also used to find a random parking space in the middle of the fatigue, put down the seat and squat for a while, Now he was lying on his bed but couldn't sleep.

After he went upstairs, he heard a lot of voices, the air conditioner was blowing dry wind, he heard Ji Sumian clean up and wash up, he heard the prompt sound of his mobile phone being connected, he heard him sigh, sniff his nose, and then lay down rustlingly. The breathing rhythm became slower and slower, until there was a slight snoring sound——this child usually sleeps very quietly, probably because of the stuffy nose after crying.

Zhong Lei came down lightly, took a cigarette, pulled Ji Sumian's quilt as he passed by, covered him up, and went out.

He found that the landscape flower pots had been tidied up, and the dead branches and leaves and cracked soil were gone. The small pavilion was empty, and the whole flower pots had been wiped clean, shining faintly blue in the moonlight.This kid is very good at tidying up the room. Since he came, Zhong Lei hasn't cleaned it up, but the small room is fresh every day.He is very meticulous in his work, and he can clean up the sink and toilet, making him feel like staying in a hotel in his own home. Thinking of this, Zhong Lei put out the cigarette. He has to move out for work, or let him go if he doesn't.

As the night passed, Ji Sumian's eyes were swollen from sleep, and he looked dazed. He seemed to have forgotten the skirmish that happened last night, and sat in the car chatting in the usual tone: "Second Uncle, why don't you sign up for a website?" An account for a ride-hailing service, so you can get more business."

"If you don't want to be bound by that system, it's better to be free than a simple taxi."

"Really... But I heard that online car-hailing earns more."

"The system will dispatch orders randomly, and there are various time limits. Passengers still have to comment. It's so annoying. Earning a little more money is not enough to be angry. I don't want to die young."

Ji Sumian gave him a sideways look, as if he still hated his vicious words last night: "If you die, you can only die a natural death, and you have already passed the age that can be called an untimely death."

"Hey, hold your bloody grudge, little bastard, how dare you run on me!" Regardless of the fact that he was driving, he stretched out his hand and pushed Ji Sumian's head.

Ji Sumian hid with a smile.

At this time, Zhong Lei suddenly remembered something: "Hey, you really don't plan to go back to the tavern?"

Ji Sumian looked at Zhong Lei ignorantly: "Why do you want to go back? I can't bear it. Her mother wants to get my dad in so that she can return to the country and surrender herself. Isn't this self-interested?"

"Hey, isn't it a pity that you and that girl just became Romeo and Juliet?"

"Ah?" Ji Sumian didn't understand what he meant, but insisted, "Anyway, I can't go back—"

As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly realized: "Second Uncle, are you going to drive me away?"

Zhong Lei thought that this is obvious, but he still left some leeway in his mouth: "That's not true, I think you should be able to rent a house by yourself when you have income, and you don't need to be crowded here."

"I still owe you money, I rent the house myself, when will I be able to pay it off..." Ji Sumian murmured with his head down, "You are such a nice person, you didn't even ask me to write the IOU, I want to make money as soon as possible Return it to you."

"Don't drive me away, okay?" Ji Sumian looked up at him, and Zhong Lei glanced at him, condescending, a sense of dominance filled his heart, and he couldn't refuse the begging of the disadvantaged .

"I don't mean that, you can live if you are not too young."
