In the shanty towns on the outskirts of Wenhua City, Tao Jiangang had a quarrel with the landlord who urged the rent. He has been renting in this iron house, which is less than 10 square meters, for the past few days.
There are many rural people from other places like him who come to work in Wenhua City, but he does not have any advantage to compete with those migrant workers who are in their prime.
Without education and skills, you are destined to struggle at the bottom of the city.
Tao Jian had only two or three hundred left in his hand. He squatted at the door, took out the last cigarette irritably, lit it, and took a big breath.
He thought that he still had to go to Tao Xi, this time he had to get the money no matter what.
With a cigarette in his hand, Tao Jian got up from the uneven ground and was about to catch the bus to Wenhua No. 1 Middle School, but saw a young woman in a white dress walking over.
With delicate makeup, neat short hair, and stiletto heels, she seemed to be walking out of the most expensive office building in the city center, and her whole body was out of tune.
Tao Jian took a few glances and felt a little strange. When he was about to pass by, the woman stopped and asked him, "Are you Mr. Tao Jian?"
Tao Jian was stunned, and nodded subconsciously.
"Hello, I'm Su Yun, the assistant to the chairman of Ruize Group." Su Yun showed a formulaic smile, "Can I find another place to talk to you in detail?"
What happened next was far beyond Tao Jian's imagination. He was taken by this woman named Su Yun into a coffee shop he had never been to before. Explain the purpose:
"I'm here mainly to solve work problems for Mr. Tao." She took out a document from her briefcase and put it in front of Tao Jian, "This is a security position in a property subsidiary of Ruize Group, providing accommodation and food. You can go straight to work today."
Tao Jian looked at the job introduction on this document in disbelief. He had never encountered the salary level above in all his years of work.
But there is no such thing as a pie in the world. He looked at Su Yun suspiciously and asked, "I don't know the chairman of your group. Why do you want to offer me a job? There must be some conditions, right?"
He had just been defrauded of money by the so-called fellow countryman, and he was vigilant about everything, but he didn't figure out what else he could be deceived into now, and he was almost broke.
Su Yun took a sip of coffee and said slowly, "Of course there are conditions. The condition is that before your son Tao Xi graduates from high school, you can't disturb him for a second."
Tao Jian's eyes widened sharply, he had already sensed the strangeness of this matter, and said angrily, "I am his father, and it is only right and proper to find a son. You are an outsider, why do you care about other people's father and son affairs?"
Su Yun chuckled softly and said slowly, "Because my young master is his patron, everything he does during his studies at Wenhua No. 1 Middle School is under my young master's control."
Tao Jian's complexion became ashen, and he suppressed his anger and said solemnly: "What are you trying to do with my son?! I tell you, even if I don't have a penny, I will never allow you rich people to treat me. What the hell is your son doing!"
He has been wandering and working outside these years, and he has heard of the special hobbies of some upper-class people. He is saying that Tao Xi was suddenly sponsored to study at Wenhua No. 1 Middle School. It turned out that someone had ulterior motives for Tao Xi.
Su Yun frowned, disgust in her eyes, obviously Tao Jian's malicious speculation offended her, she sneered:
"My young master is about the same age as your son. What kind of intentions can you have to help your son? It's shameful that you, as Tao Xi's father, have to rely on your son to support him."
Although she didn't understand why her young master was so concerned about a poor student from another place, she would never allow anyone to slander him.
Tao Jian was so angry that he almost flipped the table, but he finally endured it.
This woman is right, he still has to rely on his son to support him, and he is indeed a coward.
"But I'm his father, so I can't just go to school to see my son?" Tao Jian took a step back and asked with raised eyebrows.
Su Yun said calmly, "I don't think your 'simple look' is a good thing for high school students who need to concentrate on their studies."
Not long ago, her young master gave her a piece of surveillance at the entrance of Wenhua No. 1 Middle School for her to check. The father obviously did not have enough quality, and he did not care and love his son.
She paused and said seriously: "Your son will be admitted to a good university and have a very different life from yours. If you really want to be good to him, not disturbing him is the most useful thing you can do. "
Tao Jian heard the words and was silent for a long time.
He finally agreed to this condition and signed the contract Su Yun took out. Before leaving, Su Yun said coldly, "Remember to obey the rules. Besides, you can't tell Tao Xi about this."
Tao Jian waved his hand irritably.
Tao Xi soon received the new money from the school, and remitted most of the money to Guo Ping as Tao Le's medicine expenses. In addition to living expenses, there was also money to be given to Tao Jian.
He wanted to wait until he became an adult, except for Tao Le, he would no longer care about the life and death of these two.
But Tao Jian never came to him. He thought maybe Tao Jian finally found a job and didn't need to ask him for money.
Tao Xi didn't take this matter to heart anymore. He still had the most important thing, which was to invite Lin Qinhe to dinner on Sunday.
He researched for a long time these days, and initially selected five restaurants near the downtown business district.
"How about this seafood restaurant in Ord Plaza? I heard from my roommate that it is delicious."? Tao Xi came to Lin Qinhe during the break and showed him his mobile phone. There was a review software on the mobile phone. restaurant in.
In fact, he had never eaten seafood himself and wanted to try it.
Lin Qinhe said: "I don't eat seafood." He is allergic to seafood.
"Okay, then I'll change."
Tao Xi didn't notice that he was too close to Lin Qinhe, so he leaned beside Lin Qinhe, lowered his head and looked through the favorite restaurants on his mobile phone.
Lin Qinhe was condescending, and he could clearly see Tao Xi's fair and slender back neck, which extended downwards because of the thin and slightly bulging vertebrae. Further down, it was covered by the collar of his white shirt, and he could only smell very light. Fragrance of peach scented body wash.
"What about this hot pot restaurant? I think the rating is quite high." Tao Xi raised his head and asked Lin Qinhe, blinking his eyes.
"I don't eat spicy food." Lin Qinhe said flatly.
"Okay." Tao Xi lowered his head and flipped through his phone again.
"What about this Southeast Asian restaurant? I see that the environment in the picture is very good." Tao Xi looked up and asked.
"Too far."
Tao Xi had to look down at the other restaurants, but he asked all five restaurants in turn. Lin Qinhe always had a reason to say no, so he could only look down again and again.
Tao Xi thought, rich people are too difficult to serve.
In the end, he couldn't help but ask directly, "Then what do you like to eat?"
Lin Qinhe looked back and said, "Whatever, I can do it."
"???"
Tao Xi stared at Lin Qinhe.
Can you do whatever you want
He got a little angry, narrowed his eyes, lowered his waist and leaned closer to Lin Qinhe, stared at Lin Qinhe's eyes, and asked, "Lin Qinhe, are you kidding me again?"
Lin Qinhe looked down at his eyes and said casually, "Yes."
Tao Xi didn't expect this person to admit that he didn't find a good expression for a while, with his rosy lips slightly open, he stared blankly at Lin Qinhe, forgetting how to fight back.
But the next second he felt that the back of his neck was being pinched by a hand, and he pulled it back. He subconsciously shrank his body, like a cat being lifted up by the back of his neck, and was lifted aside.
"What are you doing?!"? Tao Xi couldn't help trembling, and hurriedly covered the back of his neck with his hands, widening his eyes.
He never knew that the back of his neck was so sensitive, and where Lin Qinhe's fingers touched, there seemed to be an electric current rushing down his spine, and even his heart couldn't help trembling.
He put on an angry look, trying to hide his flushed face and ears.
"You're too close to me." Lin Qinhe said lightly, twitching his retracted thumb and index finger.
Tao Xi suddenly felt that his heart was about to jump out.
He patted the table in a panic, and said loudly: "I don't care, at 6:30 on Sunday evening, Ode Plaza Cantonese and Hong Kong Tea Restaurant, you must come!"
Lin Qinhe slightly lifted the corners of his lips and said, "Okay."
