The aunt in charge of finances looked at Xu Le with a hint of disdain.
If it were any other day, as a property manager, she would definitely be a little weaker than the night watchman, but today was different. Today was payday, and she was so busy that she didn't have time to argue with Xu Le.
"There's a clear record on the payroll, can't you read it yourself?"
Only then did Xu Le look at his pay slip.
The basic salary of a warlock and night watchman is 250, welfare is 150, clerical work is 150, field work is 0, combat allowance is 400, and advance compensation is -900.
The salary is very high, of course Xu Le is talking about it compared with ordinary people in the Lower Town District.
Lao Zhou's salary is 25 yuan, and his salary this month has reached 950.
The basic salary + benefits of a warlock or night watchman is 400, as we have mentioned before.
But an unexpected clerkship gave him 150, and a combat allowance of 400.
In terms of income alone, Xu Le's monthly income has reached Lao Zhou's income in several years. It is worthy of being a top job in Lighthouse.
But the advance compensation was deducted by 900...
"This advance compensation?"
"Ask your own captain."
"All right."
When Xu Le arrived at Bai Jing's office, he coughed a few times as soon as he entered the door. The smell of smoke was too strong.
Is it true that the captain won’t get lung cancer if he smokes like this
Well, maybe it's because she has a strong physique and cigarettes are no longer effective for her.
"Why are you coming to me instead of looking for Gan?"
"Captain, that advance compensation?"
"You should know that yourself, right? That mother and daughter."
"I know, but..."
“Normally, with 350 deducted every month, it would take you nearly two years to pay off a loan of more than 8,000.
The lighthouse's property is not vegetarian. If you have money in your account, they will naturally deduct more. Didn't they give you 50
The cost of living at the Lighthouse is actually not high. You can eat for free at the branch office. 50 yuan a month is enough.”
Xu Le was speechless. He guessed that it was about Lao Zhou's family, but they directly deducted 900 yuan from him. Isn't that too cruel
He didn’t even give me 100 yuan, and he said he would buy canned cat food for Ding Ke. How can that be enough
"I know, but why can't the deduction be less? If I can get 950 every month.
Even if I pay 700 a month, it will only take a year to pay it off, and I will have 250 yuan left every month."
"Haha, the young man is quite good at calculating."
"Uh, it's just normal arithmetic." Xu Le touched his nose.
"But you can't guarantee that you can earn that much every month. As a night watchman, what if you die next month?"
"I… "
Xu Le was suddenly speechless. Yes, being a night watchman is not a very safe job.
With the mortality rate remaining high, no one can guarantee that they will always be safe.
Xu Le couldn't refute this.
"I see."
"Room 509 of the Dongyang Low-Rent Apartment on Horton Street is a low-rent apartment, but it actually has a private bathroom and kitchen. Go take a look when you have time."
Xu Le was stunned. He knew Bai Jing would not let him go without reason. There must be a reason why she asked him to go over and take a look.
Is there something wrong with that mother and daughter
"I'll be there now."
After saying hello to Gan, Xu Le went to the Horton district alone.
This place is close to the river bank, so there will be no problem with the aftermath arranged by the night watchmen. After all, they often arrange aftermath work.
Following the address, Xu Le found Room 509 of Dongyang Low-Rent Housing. As soon as he got there, he noticed a white note and a small wreath at the door.
"Someone's dead?"
When Xu Le was in a daze, the door suddenly opened and it seemed that Zhou Tingting was going out to take out the trash.
When she saw Xu Le, they just stared at each other in a daze for a while.
In less than a month, Zhou Tingting looked much more mature than last time.
She had her hair cut short and her clothes neater than last time.
Perhaps it was various unexpected events that forced her to make changes passively.
"Go in and sit for a while."
Faced with Zhou Tingting's invitation, Xu Le hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded.
"good."
As soon as he entered the house, Xu Le saw the tablets of Lao Zhou and his wife.
As expected, he is dead too.
Sitting opposite Zhou Tingting, Xu Le didn't know what to say. After a long pause, he could only ask:
"Are you okay?"
Zhou Tingting did not give a direct answer, but just looked at the spirit tablet.
“When I was little, my mom loved to tell me the same old story about the Big Bad Wolf while she lectured me, but I was actually tired of it.
So in the past few years, I haven't liked to talk to her much.
Recently my mother likes to go out for a walk with me, and she always stops halfway and looks back.
I asked her why she stopped halfway, but she told me that she could only accompany me halfway, and the rest of the way would be hard but also happy, so I had to walk by myself.
I know that everyone will only accompany me for a certain period of time.
We are not afraid of death, what we fear is the pain of separation. "
Xu Le looked at Zhou Tingting in some confusion.
"I am sorry for your loss."
Zhou Tingting just shook her head slightly:
“I went to Lighthouse University to ask, and no company would compensate a temporary security guard.
Even if there is accident compensation, it will only be 500-800. It is impossible to have such a high pension.
Your name is Xu Le, right
"yes."
"How did my father die?"
Xu Le took a deep breath. Is this the end of his question
The captain asked me to come here because he probably realized that Zhou Tingting was investigating his actions. No, if it was just a simple investigation, there would be no need for the captain to ask me to come here specially.
Did the captain find anything more
"I can only tell you clearly that I didn't kill your father."
Xu Le could only give this answer. At this point, the two fell into endless silence.
After a while, Zhou Tingting stood up:
"You've been in here for quite some time. Let me get you a glass of water."
Human females, their heart energy rises extremely rapidly.
Xu Le nodded, sat there, looked at Zhou Tingting's back, clenched his fists, and then unclenched them.
After a while, Zhou Tingting came out holding a porcelain cup.
Xu Le looked at Zhou Tingting, then at the cup.
Although the girl in front of me tried her best to hide it, her trembling fingers and almost unstable breathing revealed her nervousness.
Human females, your heart energy is rising rapidly, please be careful.
When the "Pay attention" prompt appears, it means that her mental energy is approaching level 1 alert.
"She wants to kill me." Xu Lexin thought.
Xu Le stared at the water cup for a while, and finally picked it up.
Zhou Tingting's eyes revealed the pleasure of revenge, but also some uneasiness and confusion.
"etc."
When Xu Le handed the cup to his mouth, Zhou Tingting stopped him and took a few deep breaths.
"What happened to my dad?"
Xu Le hesitated for a moment.
"He was deformed, and I killed him."
After saying that, Xu Le picked up the cup again, but this time Zhou Tingting did not hesitate for too long. She stood up and knocked the cup out of Xu Le's hand.
"Don't drink it, the water is poisonous, it's poisonous!"
Zhou Tingting looked very angry, she was angry at herself, and then looked at Xu Le.
"You're the night watchman, right? Thank you for your money, and thank you for giving me the opportunity to go to college.
I don't want to see you again, please go away."
Xu Le was stunned. University
But he didn't say much, just nodded silently.
As soon as I went out, I found Wang Shu standing at the door with his hands in his arms.
Xu Le's eyes flickered, he knew that place on the uniform was where the gun was hung.
"Brother Shu, did the captain ask you to come?"
"The first principle of the Night Watch is to protect yourself in any situation."
Looking at Wang Shu's expressionless face, Xu Le suddenly asked:
"If I really drink that glass of water, will Brother Shu kill her?"
"The captain said you are very smart and won't drink."
"Captain really understands me."
"Actually, it's okay for you to drink it. I replaced the poison she bought a long time ago. That bag contains popping candy."
Xu Le:
