I rely on copies to build infrastructure

"Tonight, can I come and visit?"

When he was called, Qin Lu was cleaning the bathroom in the dormitory area.

This should have been the job of the dormitory cleaners, but in order to save operating costs, this shelter did not hire workers who are responsible for cleaning, and the boarders have always done it themselves.

It is said that it is a boarder, but the scope is actually limited to "trash" at the bottom like him.

A child like Otto doesn't need to work, his workload will be distributed to other people, and so on, and finally it becomes exclusive to him and the other three "waste".

The euphemistic name is: give them the opportunity to realize the value of life.

Compared to the forbearance and depression of the other three people, he is quite at ease with such an arrangement.

Working is not completely useless, he can freely go in and out of every corner of this shelter, and get a lot of news that others don't know.

Just like the commotion that started at noon today, he got the news ahead of many candidates.Although the visit of the PV team has nothing to do with the "waste" at the bottom, but watching the usually high-ranking teenagers test, criticize, and calculate each other, and the boring and boring life is a bit more fun.

However, the one named Chi Ren seemed to be an accident.

The man with brown eyes came to the door at three o'clock in the afternoon, returned the tooth cup with his name on it, and invited him to dinner.

Qin Lu didn't say a word.

After noon, he broke free from his self-pity, his mind recovered, and his thinking began to become clear.Although facing the PV evaluator will still cause uncontrollable tension, but the despair that was completely overwhelmed by negative memories before does not exist, and now he can easily distinguish the other party's intentions.

This is also one of his "talents" that helped him survive to adulthood in this asylum.

"Then it's settled. I'll come to you at 05:30 in the evening."

The man smiled and waved at him, turned and disappeared at the end of the corridor.

Qin Lu watched for a while, his brows and eyes narrowed slightly, and the movements of his hands became a little more unconsciously.The iron trash can couldn't bear the force and was squeezed into bumps, but it was quickly smoothed out skillfully without leaving any traces.

Why does a high-ranking evaluator stare at a "waste"?

In the evening, the man with brown eyes really came.

He also brought hot food.

Instead of inviting people to the exclusive restaurant in a high-profile way like other evaluators, the person in front of him chose to bring food. This move coincided with Qin Lu's intentions.

He didn't feel slighted.

In this asylum, he is destined to be suppressed at the bottom, and even a well-intentioned promotion cannot change it.An invitation with great fanfare is not a spectacle, but it will bring him endless troubles.Naturally, those people did not dare to question the decision of the PV evaluator. They would keep their resentment on him and retaliate even more violently afterwards.

From this point of view, Chi Yan's work... is quite considerate.

Chi Ren took out the food one by one.The small closed room is very crowded when two people sit down, and the food can only be placed on the bed.

Fortunately, Qin Lu's bed only has a board, so it is suitable for temporary use as a table, and the space is filled with the aroma of food.

"Eat."

Chi Ren said.

"I don't know what you like, so I took some of them."

Qin Lu was not polite either.

Maybe he will never see the food on the bed for the second time in his life.

He first put a piece of steamed seafood into his mouth, and the juice overflowed his mouth in an instant.

He chewed it and thought it tasted good, but unexpectedly it was not as tasty as he had imagined.The ingredients are not fresh and sweet enough, and the seasonings are too much to overwhelm. It is an assembly line product made by a machine, which completely fails the original taste of the ingredients.

Qin Lu himself also found it funny.A person who has only eaten black bread in his memory has the right to be picky about the taste of things. Could it be that he has eaten better ones?

He noticed that the man across from him frowned, as if he was also dissatisfied with the taste of the food.

Qin Lu narrowed his eyebrows and eyes slightly.

"You are looking for me... Do you want me to sign a contract?"

he asked softly.

"It's useless. I'm so ugly. If I sign you, my performance won't be very high. It's better to change to those who are good-looking."

Although it sounds incredible, this is the only conclusion Qin Lu can think of.

It is said that these evaluators also have performance indicators, which is why there was a change in attitude in the afternoon.Originally, this matter had nothing to do with him at all, but since Chi Ren showed his favor frequently, he had to say the ugly things first, lest the other party be happy in vain.

"I'm not the kind of person who hides my appearance. I'm just plain ugly, and there's no cure. There's no value in signing me."

Chi Ren smiled.

"How do you know about performance?"

"I heard it," Qin Lu paused, "When I went to collect the garbage, your two companions said that my ears are very good."

He didn't lie, his five sense organs are more sensitive than others, and he can hear the other party's speech clearly even if he is far away.

"Oh, like this."

Chi Ren nodded.

"You don't need to sign anything."

He put a piece of fish fillet into his mouth, chewed it with a little disgust, and continued.

"You don't want to sign anything, remember, no one persuades you not to sign."

He said this, but it aroused Qin Lu's curiosity.

Starting from noon today, all he saw and heard was the signing of the contract. Although no one had actually seen the contract, according to those evaluators, it was the PV Group who wanted to lock in qualified spare parts in advance. Candidates will focus on beauty pageants in the future.

They said this, and no one was unmoved. After all, the reason for struggling in the shelter for all these years was this opportunity to turn around!

"why?"

He raised his head.

"Is there any problem with the pre-assessment?"

But he saw the man on the opposite side scratching his head.

"There is no problem. The pre-assessment criteria are the same as those of a beauty pageant, but..."

He paused, as if troubled with how to express it.

"How should I put it, if you know the result in advance and think you can change it, sometimes you will lose your sense of normalcy and do irrational things."

"If you don't believe me, you can wait and see. Anyway, there should be changes in these few days. You can make up your own mind at that time, but my suggestion is that if you go down step by step, the result may not be worse than others, so don't rush for a while."

What he said was vague, but Qin Lu tasted a lot.

He put down his chopsticks, and for the first time looked at the person in front of him openly, the more he looked, the calmer he felt.

This man is not lying, nor is he playing hard to get.

He really doesn't want to pretest and sign on his own.

But why?

Why would he treat himself like this?

Xu Shi saw the doubt on his face, and the man opposite smiled.

"No reason, it's just that you have a special eye, and the crowd noticed it at a glance."

Having said that, Chi Ren paused for a moment, with a look of doubt on his face.

"Where else have you been before? Have we met before?"

Qin Lu shook his head.

He has lived in this shelter since he was a child, and he has never even gone out of the gate once. How could he have met the evaluator of the PV Group.

But he can understand the thoughts of the person in front of him. He also has this feeling of paying attention at a glance, which is even stronger than what the other party described.

What he didn't say was that when he fell into the snow, he saw Chi Ren's figure out of the corner of his eye, and he purposely screamed in pain to attract his attention.

If it was another person, he would just come back silently to deal with the wound.His body's resilience is very strong. As long as he can get rid of the suppression of negative memories, a little skin trauma is not a burden at all, and he will heal soon.

There was a brief silence in the room.

The man with brown eyes scratched his head, feeling that the topic just now was a bit ambiguous.

He thought about it, then smiled and said something else.

"By the way, you have so many mirrors here, one is placed every few meters in the corridor, and there are quite a few mirrors in the room I live in, and one is still facing the head of the bed, which makes people feel flustered."

Hearing what he said, Qin Lu raised his head slightly.

"Panic? Why?"

"Well, it's not auspicious..."

Chi Ren thought for a while, then looked at the opposite mirror.

"This kind of mirror facing the bed is easy to be scared when waking up in the middle of the night."

Qin Lu didn't think so.

There are many mirrors in the shelter, and they are always reminded to pay attention to their appearance. It is difficult not to look at them.

Isn't it like that in the outside world?

Dinner is over quickly, but the restless night has just begun.

Before midnight, footsteps could be heard outside Qin Lu's door from time to time.There are those who tiptoe, some who are unscrupulous, and the crisp sound of wheelchairs or crutches hitting the ground, all directions are the door of the dormitory.

Overnight, many people's faces became more determined and ambitious, and they looked at each other with calculations and guards in their eyes, and the seemingly indestructible small group disappeared in an instant.

Qin Lu watched coldly.

He believed in Chi Ren, but he didn't expect the changes to come so quickly.More people left the dormitory that night, some of them stayed away all night and did not reappear until the next day's dinner.

But...they're different.

While tidying up the trash can, Qin Lu secretly looked at the young man not far away.

It was a young man named "Qian Tian". He was the one who threw a stone and smashed Qin Lu's head the day before yesterday. He was also one of the candidates waiting to be evaluated.

Chida suffers from congenital dysplasia of the skull. From the front, his face is fairly handsome, but when turned to the side, it becomes an uneven curved surface, and even the posture of the neck and shoulders is abnormal.

Ordinarily, people like him were originally at the bottom of the shelter, and they were isolated and ignored just like Qin Lu.However, Qiantian's teeth are particularly white and neat, and the lines of his arms and thighs are smooth and beautiful. In addition, his illness is not contagious, so his "value" is much higher than that of Qin Lu.

Most importantly, he caught up with Otto, the star of hope in the asylum.

As Otto's most loyal steward, Chida has always been at the forefront of the charge. He himself is not very talented, but he doesn't hold back when he beats and scolds his peers, and he desperately draws a line with the poor bottom.

Because he was too aggressive, many people in the shelter were afraid of him, which gave Qiantian a lot of prestige.

It's just that this prestige is limited to violence, and Chida's flaws are too obvious, so he can only dominate in the shelter. Once he is old enough to leave, the result may not be better than the people he bullied.

It is also because of this that many people who hold a grudge against him are holding back their energy, waiting to see him desolate.

But they are likely to be disappointed.

Qin Lu thought silently.

From his point of view, Chida is just in the middle of the two mirrors. The mirror reflects the state of his whole body. All the original deformities have been corrected. Although the shape cannot be said to be perfect, the obvious flaws are no longer visible.

He wore a black windbreaker and black trousers underneath. When he walked, he held his chest up and held his head up, his face full of complacency.

No, it's still a little different...

Qin Lu sniffed subconsciously.

Smelly……

A very strong and suffocating stench continued to spread in the air with each of Chida's movements.

What is it...is it rotten?
