Trainee

After a tiring day, Li Qi took a quick rinse and went back to his room to rest. When he changed his clothes, he found that there was an extra red envelope in his coat pocket. It was stuck to the seal of Xia Le's father's company. It looked quite tall. Come on, open it and there is 300 yuan in it.He still has a copy of today's salary in his backpack, which should have been given by Xia Le's father to several media outlets in the local newspaper and TV station, but Xia Le shunned it to his side.

He stuffed the red envelope into his backpack, didn't look at it again, and lay down to sleep.

But after lying down for a long time, he didn't feel sleepy at all. It was very quiet outside. His father hadn't come back yet. There was no drinking, no noise, and no messy living room.

He lay there with his arms under his pillow and couldn't help turning over, staring at the ceiling and thinking seriously, what Sister Lin said at night, to be honest, he was moved.But he has experienced the "substitute" incident of the draft company, and he doesn't trust them much anymore.

To go out, it will take at least a few years of hard work. For him now, time is money, and he can't afford to delay at all.

This gamble weighed on him the next few decades of his life.

He is like a poor boy holding the only chip in his hand, handing over everything he owns to an untrustworthy person and letting him manipulate it... He can't afford to bet on such a thing.

Li Qi's eyes darkened for a moment, and he sighed.

In the next few days, Li Qi began to work around again. It is rare that his father has stayed awake these few days. He took a newspaper to draw in circles a few times, and made an exception to put on clean and decent clothes and went out a few times. .

Li Qi felt strange, and asked him several times, but his father didn't tell him, but only reassured him: "There will be good news in a few days, just wait."

He was in a good mood, and Li Qi lived a more comfortable life, and it was rare for him to relax for a few days.Xia Le is also diligent these days, but he also understands the rules. He will not run over to Li Qi when he is working. If he really misses him, he will send him a text message. One or two replies from Li Qi out of ten are enough for him. Wagging his tail happily.

Li Qi usually works in a bakery, and the business in the shop is not bad. It is more lively on weekends, and there are not many people on weekdays.He has been working here for a while. He used to come to the rest day when he was in high school, but it was only a part-time job. There is no shortage of shops all day long. When you were a student, I thought it was difficult for you, so I always wanted to help you... Now that you have graduated, you know the situation in the store. Maybe after a few days, there will be no need for so many people. "

Li Qi heard the meaning of his words, felt a little disappointed, but still said: "Brother Mu is too polite, I will go to work elsewhere in a while, I was just about to tell you, but I haven't had time to speak yet."

The boss was obviously relieved. Although he dismissed Li Qi, this kid is hard-working and willing to work. After a long time, he has feelings. If the business is not really so good, he can't bear to say these words .

When Li Qi finished his work at the bakery and was about to go home, he saw a new message on his phone. He clicked on it and read it. It was from his high school homeroom teacher, telling him that there was a prize for a violin competition. , Let him go to the school to ask him to receive the bonus when he is free.

Li Qi has participated in many competitions since junior high school. Others would like to be sent by the whole family, but he is a special case. He will always go by himself, carrying an old but clean piano box, earnest the match of.This is also the source of his junior high school living expenses and high school tuition.

The bonus mentioned by the homeroom teacher this time was half a year ago. The review was more stringent, and the certificate was issued late, and the bonus was delayed for a while.The prize money for this kind of small competition is limited, but the mosquito meat is still meat. Li Qi checked that the time was enough, and immediately replied to the teacher and went to the school.

The way to school from where he works is not too far, and it doesn't take much time for Li Qi to walk there.

There is also a cram school in the school, and the class teacher is not idle during the holidays. When Li Qi went, he was teaching some students extra lessons, and Li Qi waited for him outside the classroom door for a while.

The homeroom teacher saw him first, assigned homework to the students, and walked out. He has been with Li Qi for three years, and he still has a good impression of this diligent student, "Here you come? Let's go to the office. This time You performed well in the competition, and the school also prepared a bonus for you, which will be given to you later."

Li Qi thanked the teacher and followed him.

The two prizes add up to about a thousand yuan, because it is a city-level competition, the prize money is not too rich.The head teacher gave him the last bonus in school, and when he handed him the trophy, he couldn't help but asked again: "Li Qi, you really don't plan to go to college anymore?"

Li Qi stood there without saying a word.

The teacher was particularly sorry for his behavior. He thought this was a very smart kid, but sometimes he was too stubborn. "If you have any difficulties, you can tell the teacher. If you want to repeat a year, come to my class. I'll bring you."

Li Qi said, "Thank you teacher."

But for the others, he would not say anything more.

The homeroom teacher knew that his family was a bit special, so he stopped persuading him and sent him out, but he was still muttering: "With your grades, it's no problem to take the art test. The school also specifically asked about your situation, but there is still a certain distance from your preferred S University. But if you want to repeat a year..."

Before the teacher finished speaking, he saw the door of the office next door being pushed open suddenly, and a tall boy rushed out, and the people behind couldn't stop him!

"Xia Le! Xia Le, you can't be self-willed any more. This was all discussed before. It was hard to get you to go to school there. What are you doing now!" Secretary Jin chased out from behind, frowning. A few steps forward and grabbed Xia Le's arm, "Don't be childish, your dad will be angry again when he knows it."

Xia Le shook off him and said, "It's been discussed...Which one of you has discussed it with me?"

Although it was during class, there were still many students in the school. Secretary Jin glanced around from the corner of his eye, and lowered his voice in disapproval, "Let's go back and talk about anything!"

Xia Le ignored him, and reached out to snatch the cowhide file bag in his hand, but Secretary Jin refused to let him go. Xia Le snatched the car keys from him, turned around and left.He walked two steps before seeing Li Qi who was just across the door, but he didn't stop talking, he just pursed his lips and ran downstairs at a faster pace.

Secretary Jin was still calling him from behind, and chased after him a few steps.

Li Qi only had a face-to-face meeting with Xia Le just now, but he also saw Xia Le's obviously red eyes, and felt that something was wrong with him, so he hurriedly bid farewell to the class teacher and followed.

There are not many places that Xia Le often goes to. Li Qi left the school gate and ran to the places they often go to, while calling Xia Le. The phone usually answered after three rings, but now he didn't answer it. Yes, when I called again, the phone was directly shut down.

Li Qi scolded in his heart, put the phone in his pocket and could only try to find it by himself.

The weather was a bit hot, Li Qi started to sweat after walking on the street for a while, especially when he passed the traffic light, he felt agitated, people around him were constantly coming and going, he glanced to the side, and suddenly felt something was wrong.

A few people in black suits were trying to walk towards him, and when they met his eyes, they even held their ears and said something, obviously talking to their companions through the earphones.

Li Qi looked around calmly, and sure enough, not far away, there were several strong men dressed similarly to this man, walking this way.

When the green light came on, Li Qi moved forward among the crowd. He thought quickly about how he could offend this kind of person, but he couldn't think of it, unless...it was about his father.

His father once borrowed a sum of money to jointly open a musical instrument training institution with someone, but the other party ran away immediately after getting the money. From the beginning to the end, he was just using his father's reputation, and the signatory only stayed. His father's name, although he has paid back some money in recent years, there are still people who are debt collectors.

Li Qi thought of the paint and words that were splashed on the outside of his house on the day he just came back, and suddenly felt chills in his heart. The crowd dodged a few times and walked to the front, and immediately ran away.

The man in the black suit at the back obviously didn't expect Li Qi to do such a trick. They had been following behind at a distance, but as soon as Li Qi ran away, he immediately chased after him, shouting.

When they chased like this, Li Qi would only run even more desperately, running all the way from the street to the alley. Yousu, although they are not familiar with the environment, but with their physical strength in place, they ran after Li Qi with all their strength, without keeping a distance.

Li Qi was chased by these people all the way, and after running under the sun for a long time, he was finally blocked in an alley.

The person on the opposite side was also very tired, the sweat marks on the back made a large dark color on the suit, and when he looked at Li Qi, his eyes were also sharp, "Li Qi, please come with us, we The boss wants to talk to you about something."

Li Qi leaned on his knees and panted, "If I say I don't want to go..."

Before he finished speaking, the big men in black suits on the opposite side had already outflanked him, and the two of them supported him to go out, obviously they didn't want to hear the second answer from him.
