After eight o'clock in the morning, the waiter came to clean the room, opened the door, and saw Li Ji lying at the door of the bathroom.
She screamed, threw down her room card, hurried back to find someone, and sent Li Ji to the cadre school clinic.
Li Ji ultimately failed to take the test on Monday.
At nine o'clock, when the bell rang for the exam, he was lying on a small bed in the clinic of the cadre school, with a needle inserted into his wrist and an intravenous drip with a bloodless face.
The liquid in the hanging bottle fell rhythmically drop by drop along the slender transparent hose.
Tick tock, tick tock...
Li Ji's eyes widened and he stared blankly at the white ceiling, his mind empty.
Outside the window, the sun is shining brightly, it is the best time in autumn. Li Ji's heart felt as cold as a layer of frost.
Why am I always the unlucky one?
Li Ji closed his eyes, and two tears rolled down quietly from the corners of his eyes.
It wasn't until the afternoon that Li Ji felt better.
After losing the last bottle of liquid, Li Ji returned to the room. He was leaning on the bed blankly, his face was gloomy, his head was still numb, and he didn't know what to do for a while.
There was a knock on the door.
Li Ji sighed, walked to the door listlessly, and weakly opened the door.
"Oh, what's wrong with you?"
The person who came in was Su Jin. Seeing Li Ji's appearance, she was shocked.
"I have a stomachache and have been struggling all night..."
Li Ji smiled bitterly and asked Su Jin to sit down on the sofa.
"Oh, no wonder," Su Jin looked at Li Ji with concern, "I didn't see you during the exam, I'm still wondering."
Li Ji lowered his head and said nothing.
"How's it going? Are you feeling better?"
Su Jin's voice was very soft and soft. Li Ji's heart skipped a beat, and he raised his head to meet Su Jin's eyes.
The eyes are like waves, and the black pupils are full.
"Okay, much better..."
Li Ji was inexplicably panicked and quickly lowered his head.
Su Jin suddenly felt uncomfortable, his face turned red, and he bit his lip lightly: "Then you should have a good rest, I'll go back first."
After saying that, Su Jin stood up, looked at Li Ji again, turned around and walked out of the room.
Li Ji was stunned for a moment, shook his head vigorously, turned over and lay down on the bed...
After a night's rest, Li Ji still didn't have much strength.
I forced myself to eat breakfast and sat in the room for a long time, thinking about it and getting irritated.
The moment the bell rang, Li Ji walked into the examination room.
After finishing the questions, Li Ji handed in the paper without checking it at all.
When Li Ji walked out of the conference room, almost everyone stopped writing and looked at his back in surprise. Because at this time, most people have just finished half of the test paper.
Standing in front of the building, bathed in the warm autumn sun, Li Ji looked gloomy.
It's over and the Credit Center never has to think about it again.
He didn't wait for the bus to pick him up, and took the bus back to Fengcheng alone.
The smugness I felt when I arrived has been replaced by dejection. Li Ji wanted to die.
The next day at work, as soon as she arrived at the office, Liu Min ran over to ask about the exam situation.
"Alright, not bad."
Li Ji thought for a while and reluctantly answered.
"Look at you like this, are you afraid of treating me?" Liu Min rolled her eyes at him, "It means you are good if you do well in the exam, why do you need to be so secretive?"
Secretive?
Damn, did you know that I only took one exam?
Li Ji couldn't explain anything, and couldn't express his pain. He could only smile bitterly, frown, and shake his head.
Liu Min looked at him strangely: "Mr. Li, aren't you drunk too much?"
"It's so early in the morning, you just drank too much." Li Ji waved his hand.
"Hahaha..." Liu Min smiled and left.
Looking at Liu Min's slender waist and round hips, Li Ji swallowed his saliva and turned his head bitterly.
After sitting bored for a while, Li Ji remembered something, picked up his cell phone, and called Xiao He.
"Hello, Mr. Li." Xiao He's voice was timid.
"Xiao He, after dinner that night, will you be okay when you go back?"
"No, it's okay," Xiao He hesitated, "I just had a stomachache at night and ran to the toilet a few times. I was fine the next morning."
"Oh." Li Ji hung up the phone.
After two days of wilting, Li Ji's mood calmed down a little.
Something will occur if it belongs to your life, if not, do not push it. It seems that this credit center has nothing to do with me after all.
I think of the Rural Credit Cooperative exam again. It's been so long and there's still no results.
I wanted to call and ask Han Mei, but I hesitated for a long time and was still embarrassed to speak again.
The days passed.
Li Ji has almost nothing to do every day except looking at documents and statistically analyzing the deposits and loans of various outlets.
Ye Xin, on the other hand, was busy all day, occasionally coming to Li Ji's office and saying very little.
Li Ji was a little doubtful whether he should come back.
But if he doesn't come back, where can he go? If he continues to stay at the Chengdong branch, he can't see any way out.
But when I really came back, I didn't seem to find my place. This "Special Assistant to the President" is simply a joke.
I originally came back for the position in the credit center, but now it seems that I have completely "cooled", so I don't want to think about it anymore.
Ye Xin also asked about the exam situation, but Li Ji hesitated and prevaricated. He really didn't want Ye Xin to know that he was actually out of the game.
It's obviously a good deck of cards, but how can it be played so badly? I don’t know which Bodhisattva I have offended. I should go to the temple to burn incense when I have time.
Looking at the disappearing shadow of the sun on the window glass, Li Ji felt his brain hurt.
Soon it was time to get off work.
Li Ji didn't leave in a hurry and stood in front of the window for a while. Watching the sky slowly getting dark, I suddenly felt a little confused.
I slowly went downstairs. Looking at the hurried passers-by on the road, Li Ji thought for a moment, then took a taxi and went to the Municipal Finance School to find Liao Ying.
Just as I turned the corner, my cell phone rang in my pocket. Li Ji took it out and looked at it. He was surprised. He didn't expect that the call was from Han Mei.
His heart skipped a few beats, he took a deep breath, adjusted his breathing, and answered the phone: "Hello, hello!"
"What's 'hello'? I'm Han Mei."
"Uh, uh...I know," Li Ji was stunned, "Why, why did you remember to call me?"
"What? I can't call you?"
"No, no...I mean..."
In a hurry, Li Ji didn't know how to answer.
"Stop saying 'I said, I said'," Han Mei raised her voice, "Are you free now?"
"Yes, ah, no..." Li Ji was startled, "Are you okay?"
"If you have time, come over and drink with me!"
"Drink with you?"
"Yes, Fengcheng Bar! Are you coming?"
"I, I still..." Li Ji hesitated.
"If something happens to you, forget it..."
"No, it's okay..." The car stopped at the red light, and Li Ji was silent for a moment, "Just wait, I'll be there in a minute."
"Okay, see you there or see you," Han Mei said happily, "Smelly pig, hahaha..."
Li Ji's face heated up, he hung up the phone and shouted to the driver: "Master, go to Fengcheng Bar!"
The taxi rushed through the intersection, turned around in front, and drove towards Fengcheng Bar.
Ten minutes later, Li Ji got off the car in front of Fengcheng Bar. Looking at the flashing neon lights at the door, he suddenly hesitated again.
He took out his cell phone, looked at it for a long time, and finally called Liao Ying: "Something suddenly happened, so I won't go there today."
After hanging up the phone, Li Ji pinched his nose and strode into the bar.
The lights are dim and the soothing blues music, with a little melancholy, is perfect for this autumn night.
"Here, here!"
Li Jizheng looked around and suddenly saw Han Mei standing up from the corner and waving to him. He quickly raised his hand and walked over.
When he sat down, Li Ji realized that this seat was the same as the last time Han Mei asked him to come.
There were more than a dozen bottles of beer on the table, and Han Mei's face was already red. There was a strong smell of alcohol when he spoke.
"What's going on?" Li Ji glanced at Han Mei, "Why do you suddenly come here to drink alone?"
"It's nothing," Han Mei licked her lips and handed over an opened bottle of beer, "I just want to drink it."
Li Ji took it and took a sip: "I don't believe it, there must be something wrong."
"Humph, believe it or not..."
Han Mei rolled her eyes at Li Ji, raised her face, drank half the bottle in one go.
"Did you put my number on the blacklist?"
Li Ji took a sip and asked again.
"Yeah, what's wrong?"
Han Mei put down her beer, smiled playfully, and looked directly at Li Ji.
"you......"
Li Ji was speechless, rolled his eyelids, raised his neck, and drank all the remaining beer.
"Tell you what, I do!"
Han Mei leaned forward and met Li Ji's eyes.
"Then why are you calling me again now?"
Li Ji put down the bottle and said angrily.
Han Mei held her chin with her hands, her eyes widened, and suddenly smiled: "I do!"
Li Ji smiled helplessly, grabbed the screwdriver, and opened another bottle of beer.
"Haha, I'm just teasing you, don't be angry..."
Han Mei leaned back and smiled, big tears rolling down her face.
"Hey, Han Mei, what's wrong with you?"
Li Ji was startled, stood up quickly, pulled out a few tissues and handed them over.
Han Mei took the tissue and wiped it a few times, then suddenly grabbed Li Ji's hand, buried her head in it, and sobbed softly.
"Han Mei, don't cry. What's wrong? Just talk."
Li Ji panicked.
"I'm fine, I'm fine..."
Han Mei stopped crying, wiped the tears on her face with the back of her hand, and smiled at Li Ji.
"Come on, drink!"
Han Mei raised the bottle, bumped it with Li Ji, mouth to mouth, and drank the bottle in one breath.
"Come on, keep drinking!"
Han Mei put down the bottle and grabbed another one.
Li Ji was horrified and quickly grabbed it: "Han Mei, drink less."
"Give it to me! I just want to drink it!" Han Mei snatched it back again, "I just want to get drunk today!"
Li Ji was dumbfounded as he watched Han Mei drink another bottle of beer as if it were water.
"Tao Shanming, you bastard!"
Han Mei stood the bottle firmly on the table.
"Tao Shanming?" Li Ji was stunned, "Tao Shanming, what's wrong with him?"
