Xu Cheng is on duty every Sunday night. After checking the status of the boarding students returning to school, he looked at his mobile phone and saw that it was already past 11:30. When he was about to go home, he emphasized the safety issues to the dormitory manager again, put on a helmet, and rode an electric bicycle. Head to the school gate.
When he left the school gate, the security guard on duty saw him and immediately came out of the security room, "Hey, Director Xu, it's almost 12 o'clock in the morning, you just went home."
Xu Cheng didn't say anything, and he waved at the security guard and rode his electric bike out of the school gate.
The security guard looked at his back and muttered: "It's not easy to be a teacher."
It was dark, and there were almost no pedestrians on the street. A few cars occasionally passed by and came towards them. The lights were so dazzling that Xu Cheng was dizzy.
A gust of autumn wind blew by, and he could shrink his neck.
As soon as autumn comes, the weather gets cooler in the Acropolis. In early September, there is a big temperature difference between morning and evening. It rained two days ago and the temperature dropped sharply. Riding an electric bike at night makes my legs feel uncomfortable, especially my knees, which feel like they are riding in the wind. , soreness comes in waves.
No, I'm getting old. If I ride an electric bike again this winter, I'm afraid my body won't be able to bear it.
The two children can support themselves. As winter approaches, if you can save enough money for an electric car, you can buy an electric car worth RMB 20,000 to RMB 30,000 first. It’s not very decent, but at least you won’t be punished this winter.
The eight or nine days that Xu Zhiyi went to Hangcheng for school kept Xu Cheng very busy.
On the one hand, there was school work. The school had just started and there were too many trivial matters. Moreover, the selection of the vice principal was at a critical moment, so he did not dare to slack off for a moment.
Wang Zhixuan has been very extravagant these days. He always shows off his performance in front of his leaders and colleagues. He also lets out rumors from time to time, saying that he has people here and there, as if he is destined to win.
Privately, Lao Wu also persuaded him to give gifts to the principal if he couldn't, and to find connections. Although the principal did not have the power to appoint, a recommendation from the principal played a key role.
Because of this matter, Xu Cheng didn't sleep well for several days, and finally couldn't pass the test in his heart. He didn't want to deal with this hiccup for the rest of his life.
The position of vice president is important, but it is still more important than the openness of the rest of my life.
if I get it I am lucky, but if not, it is fate.
Isn't this how he has been here for the first half of his life?
Another thing is about Wen Xuezhi.
The day Xu Zhiyi told Xu Cheng what had happened, she rushed him to the Yincheng Airport Police Station.
When he left, the police station decided to impose an administrative penalty on Wen Xuezhi, detain him for 15 days and fine him 1,000 yuan.
Wen Xuezhi was sent to the nearest detention center on the spot.
Hearing that the guy who bullied Xu Zhiyi got the punishment he deserved, he finally felt better.
He reflected carefully and felt that the responsibility for this matter lay with him. If he had inquired about the Wen family's family background and Wen Xuezhi's character in advance, and rejected Lao Wu's blind date early, wouldn't he have been so troubled?
These are all lessons learned.
In the future, if someone proposes marriage to his daughter, he must first find out whether the other person's character and family background are worthy of him, and then let his daughter meet the man.
It doesn't matter if the blind date fails, but if you meet a garbage person like Wen Xuezhi, you will be in real trouble.
Xu Cheng knew a little bit about what Wen Xuezhi did at the airport. Thinking that he had vowed to ruin his daughter's reputation and disrupt her marriage from now on, and would force her to marry him, Xu Cheng suddenly felt sad. Feeling melancholy.
It's not that he doesn't know how important his daughter's family's reputation is.
He knew better how fragile his daughter's family's reputation was.
Good things don't go out, and bad things spread thousands of miles. This is even more obvious in a city where people know each other like Acropolis.
After Wen Xuezhi came out of the detention center, if he was not angry and went out to make trouble, I am afraid that only his family would suffer.
People's hearts are evil and they don't want to see you good. The more people around you, the more so.
People's words can be used to make gold, but people's opinions can be feared.
At that time, who will care about the truth? Most people are just adding insult to injury. How can there be so many people who help others in times of trouble?
The warmth and coldness of the world, he, Xu Cheng, had already seen through it long ago when he lived to the age where he knew his destiny.
These days, he has been thinking about how to deal with this matter, but he has not yet thought of a suitable method.
Park the electric car downstairs, take off your helmet, and look up to the fourth floor. The lights are always on.
Li Zijuan would not sleep until he came home. She would wait for him to come home.
On the fourth floor, as soon as she put the key in the keyhole, the door opened from the inside, and Li Zijuan stood in front of the door anxiously.
"A Cheng, you are finally back. I called you, why didn't you answer the phone?"
Xu Cheng handed the helmet to Li Zijuan and took out his mobile phone while changing into slippers. On his way home, Li Zijuan called him several times, "My mobile phone was set to silent and I didn't hear anything. Zijuan, what's wrong?" Already?"
Li Zijuan put her helmet down smoothly, winked at him, and whispered: "Old Wu, here are the people from the Wen family."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lao Wu came out from the living room and said, "Oh, Lao Xu, you have worked so hard, and you have to work so late to come back."
Xu Cheng came over and said, "Hey Lao Wu, if you have anything to do, just tell me at school. It's so late at night, and I even bothered you to come to my house to talk. It's you who have done the hard work."
Deep down, Xu Cheng resented Lao Wu. Look at what he said about breaking up the relationship.
Old Wu heard something in his words, so he pretended not to hear him and walked into the living room with him with a smile on his face.
Sitting on the sofa in the living room is a man and a woman, both in their early fifties. The man is slightly fat and the woman is lean.
As soon as they saw Xu Cheng, the two men stood up hesitantly. The man forced a smile and said, "Director Xu, I'm sorry to bother you so late."
Xu Cheng didn't answer and looked at Lao Wu.
Lao Wu hurriedly said: "Oh, let me introduce to you. This is Wen Hua from the Power Supply Bureau, Director Wen, Wen Xuezhi's father, and that is Wen Xuezhi's mother. Come on, come on, everyone, don't stand, sit down first. ."
Lao Wu turned his back on guests and forced Xu Cheng to sit on the sofa. Wen Hua and his wife sat down again, and then Li Zijuan also sat next to Xu Cheng.
The sofa in the living room is an old-fashioned 321 fabric sofa. Xu Cheng and his wife sit on the three-person sofa in the middle, Wen Hua and his wife sit on the two-person sofa on the left, and Lao Wu sits on the one-person sofa on the right.
The living room itself is small, and the sofa is full of people, making the space even more depressing. Under the illumination of incandescent lamps, everyone's faces look pale.
Xu Cheng and Li Zijuan didn't look good to Wen Hua and his wife, they kept a straight face and remained silent.
Wen Hua and his wife looked at Lao Wu with disdain.
Old Wu understood and forced a smile, "Old Xu, I know you are tired too, so without further ado, I will bring Director Wen and his wife here today. First, they want to come in person to represent their son Wen Xuezhi. , apologize to you and your siblings."
"That girl Zhiyi is not at home. If she were at home, I should apologize to her in person. Then please convey it to her with your siblings."
As he spoke, he winked at Wen Hua and his wife.
When Wen Hua and his wife saw it, they stood up immediately and showed apologetic expressions.
Wen Hua said: "Director Xu, Xiao Xu's mother, I'm really sorry. My unlucky son is obsessed with doing that to your daughter and hurting her. He really shouldn't have done it. I apologize to you on his behalf. Please show your respect. , let him go, let our family go."
"As long as you and Xiao Xu can forgive him and let us go, our family is willing to give you financial compensation. You name the number. As long as we can do it, we will pay immediately."
