Bai Zhe finally stopped after several kicks landed on the security guard.
The security guard lay on the ground and screamed, but Bai Zhe knew clearly that he was pretending on purpose.
At this point, Bai Zhe didn't bother to argue with him. The security guard who was left on the ground turned to look at the dumbfounded captain.
"I'll let this man pack up and get out tomorrow. If I see him again, it won't be a physical pain."
What Bai Zhe said was obvious. It is normal for such scum to appear in the security room, but if such people are allowed to stay in the security team, sooner or later something big will happen, and it is inevitable that the security captain will be directly implicated. .
"Yes, Secretary Bai, don't worry. I will submit a report to the winery office tomorrow."
The captain spoke very resolutely, but Bai Zhe was still dissatisfied. He raised his hand and pointed at the captain and said, "Not only do you have to submit a report, but I also want you to make a deep self-examination at the factory-wide employee meeting and explain why I hit him tonight. , but also a comprehensive summary.”
Hearing Bai Zhe's words, the security captain's legs softened and he took a deep look at Chen Xiaoshui.
This little beggar was helpless, and he didn't know what Secretary Bai was thinking. He wanted to clear his name and asked all employees to take warning and not bully him casually.
No matter what he thought in his heart, the security captain did not dare to say more. He could only nod and agree: "Secretary Bai, don't worry, I will handle this matter well."
"That's it, you continue to work, I'll go back first."
"Secretary Bai, walk slowly..."
Under the watchful eyes of several security guards, Bai Zhe's back gradually disappeared into the night.
Turning around, the security captain asked in surprise: "Hey, where is Chen Xiaoshui? Why is he missing?"
…
Bai Zhe was walking in front, and there was always a dark figure following him from a distance. He noticed something strange and turned around to look. The shadow hurriedly hid in the shadows, never daring to meet Bai Zhe.
This dark figure was Chen Xiaoshui. The scene just now made him feel like he had found his family, so he secretly relied on Bai Zhe in his heart, so he did not want to easily lose this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Through the messy hair, Chen Xiaoshui saw Bai Zhe's back turn a corner and walk towards the street. Chen Xiaoshui quickly followed.
But as soon as he reached the corner, a big hand grabbed his shoulder.
In panic, Chen Xiaoshui reacted quickly and squatted down with a groan, breaking free from the control of his big hand.
After living on the streets for many years, Bai Zhe was a little surprised by Chen Xiaoshui's alert reaction ability.
I had already used my grappling hand just now. It would be difficult for ordinary people to break free, let alone this thin little beggar.
However, he still broke free from Bai Zhe's hand, turned over and lay on the ground, and started to kick Bai Zhe's stomach.
When he looked closely, he turned out to be Bai Zhe, and his movements stopped and he froze on the ground.
"Bai, Secretary Bai..."
Bai Zhe smiled and stretched out his hand to him.
"How can a great man lie on the ground and get up..."
Chen Xiaoshui grabbed Bai Zhe's extended hand and was pulled up by Bai Zhe.
Bai Zhe helped him dust off his body and asked, "Go back quickly in the middle of the night. Don't follow me anymore."
Chen Xiaoshui watched Bai Zhe utter two words in a low voice: "I'm hungry..."
Bai Zhe, who was about to leave, suddenly stopped and looked at him blankly.
What Bai Zhe didn't expect was that he ignored Chen Xiaoshui's identity as a wandering little beggar. For him, filling his stomach might be a luxury.
Bai Zhe sighed and said with a smile: "If you didn't tell me, I would have forgotten. Let's go. I'm hungry too. I'll take you to eat a bowl of noodles."
"Thanks……"
Bai Zhe nodded and smiled, turned around and walked forward.
Chen Xiaoshui quickly followed.
It was now past ten o'clock in the evening, and many restaurants on the street had closed. Bai Zhe took a look at a tented tavern and walked into the restaurant with Chen Xiaoshui.
At the beginning of the 2000s, nightlife in towns and cities was not that rich.
Except for some entertainment and leisure places, basically local people will rest very early.
It's past ten o'clock, which is already very late.
"Boss, bring me two bowls of braised noodles."
As soon as he walked into the hotel, Bai Zhe saw a fat hotel owner lying on a rocking chair, holding a radio in his hand and shaking a cattail leaf fan in the other.
When he heard that someone was coming, the boss quickly stood up and looked up to see Bai Zhe and Chen Xiaoshui standing inside the restaurant.
"Hey, Secretary Bai, why are you still up so late?"
Bai Zhe found a table and sat down and replied, "Well, I went to the winery to do some errands. I'm hungry now. Please hurry up."
"Okay..." When the fat boss saw Chen Xiaoshui, of course he knew this little beggar, he raised his hand and said impatiently: "Go, there is no food today, go out quickly."
"I brought him here..."
Chen Xiaoshui stood at the door and did not dare to go in. Bai Zhe waved to him: "Come here and sit here."
The fat boss was stunned for a moment and didn't know what to say, so he could only smile at Bai Zhe, turn around and walk towards the kitchen.
Chen Xiaoshui timidly walked up to Bai Zhe, rubbed the corners of his clothes with his hands unaccustomedly, and whispered, "I don't eat at the table. I like to eat squatting."
Bai Zhe interrupted: "Sit down if you want. Who stipulates that you are not allowed to eat on the table? Come on!"
"oh……"
Chen Xiaoshui sat timidly on the corner of the bench.
Bai Zhe looked at him and felt helpless.
A little beggar like him will be discriminated against wherever he goes. At weddings and weddings in the village, even if he earns a living by working, most of the owners will not let him sit with the guests. They usually do it casually. A bowl of hodgepodge made him squat on the ground with the bowl in hand to eat.
Even the bowls he used would be thrown into the garbage without even wanting to be washed.
There are one or two such people in almost every village, but most of them have some mental problems or congenital disabilities. They are unable to do many things and can only live in the darkest corner of society.
Some people say that these people are the patron saints of the village, warding off diseases and disasters for the whole village. They have endured all the misfortunes to get to where they are now, so they are called village guardians.
Some people also say that their nine reincarnations are to redeem all the sins of their previous lives. They are here to repay their kindness in this life, and when their lives come to an end, they will be reincarnated as immortals.
But these are not the reasons why Bai Zhe takes care of him, it is entirely because of Bai Zhe's inner conscience. As a parent official of a township, everyone's life is the responsibility Bai Zhe should shoulder.
"Eat as soon as the food is served. After eating, I will take you to take a bath."
Bai Zhe looked at him and smiled, but his heart felt like a big stone was weighing on him.
The development of Lishui Town is inseparable from the efforts of government staff, but it is even more indispensable without the support and support of the people.
Although the seemingly inconspicuous homeless man is unworthy of the government, the fundamental problem is the lack of due care for the people at the bottom.
"Thanks……"
These two words seemed to be the two words he said the most, and he spoke them very fluently.
Soon two large bowls of braised noodles were ready and served by the fat boss.
Bai Zhe did not move his chopsticks, but helped Chen Xiaoshui get a pair of chopsticks and asked him to eat quickly.
Smelling the fragrant braised noodles, Chen Xiaoshui was not polite, took the chopsticks without even breaking them, just held them with his hands and started to put them into his mouth.
"Eat slowly, don't choke..."
"hey-hey……"
Chen Xiaoshui looked up with a mouth full of oil, smiled innocently, and continued to eat.
The fat boss took one look and sat aside.
[Secretary Bai doesn’t know what he’s thinking. Invite him to dinner once, and just wait to be followed by him from now on. There’s nothing to be pitiful about a bad guy, hey...]
Bai Zhe didn't raise his head, just kept looking at Chen Xiaoshui eating noodles.
Sometimes watching them eat with gusto will give rise to a sense of inner satisfaction and happiness.
Others may not understand Bai Zhe's character, but Qin Shuya understands it best.
In the eyes of others, Bai Zhe may be simply lustful and fall in love with everyone he sees, but in fact they have misunderstood Bai Zhe's true intention. He just has a compassionate heart that is difficult for others to understand.
This kind of pity has nothing to do with gender or status, it's more of a look down upon the weak by the strong.
Bai Zhe seemed to enjoy it very much.
Maybe it was because he hadn't had a full meal for a long time, but what Bai Zhe didn't expect was that he could quickly swallow such hot rice when it came into his mouth, and he could keep stuffing it into his mouth.
Within a few minutes, after finishing a large bowl of braised noodles, Chen Xiaoshui timidly glanced at the bowl in front of Bai Zhe.
Bai Zhe smiled bitterly and found that his eyes were still full of hunger, so he had to push the bowl in front of him and said, "Eat whatever you want, this bowl is yours too."
"Thanks……"
Happiness came so suddenly, making the corners of Chen Xiaoshui's eyes moist.
Without saying a word, Chen Xiaoshui pushed his empty bowl aside and continued to wolf down the new bowl of noodles.
After two large bowls of noodles, although Chen Xiaoshui still wanted to eat another bowl, Bai Zhe stood up and threw ten dollars to the boss.
"Secretary Bai, I think it's better to forget it. These two bowls of rice are my treat."
The boss took ten yuan and was too embarrassed to accept it.
Bai Zhe had done so much for Chen Cun, so two bowls of rice was nothing, let alone for a little beggar, which made the boss feel uncomfortable with his conscience.
Unexpectedly, Bai Zhe resolutely pushed the money back and said, "It's not easy for you to open a business. It's all for living. You can charge as much as you need. I, the secretary of the town committee, can never take advantage of you."
"That is……"
The boss had no choice but to bow his head and give Bai Zhe four yuan in change.
Putting the change in his pocket, Bai Zhe turned to Chen Xiaoshui and said, "Let's go, I'll take you to take a shower."
Chen Xiaoshui took the opportunity to drink every drop of the soup in the bowl, then reluctantly put down the bowl and followed Bai Zhe out.
Now that the normal bathhouse was closed, Bai Zhe had no choice but to take him to a relatively well-known bathing center.
"Arrange a suite for this little brother, and send a strong girl to rub his back."
The lobby manager's eyes widened in surprise and he looked at Chen Xiaoshui. Unexpectedly, the town party secretary personally invited him to take a bath. This kind of treatment is probably not something that most people can enjoy.
"Okay Secretary Bai, I will make arrangements for you right now."
He turned around and waved to a fat girl sitting on the sofa in the hall: "Xiaofang, go greet this little brother."
The escort named Xiaofang was not picky. She walked up to Chen Xiaoshui and said with a sweet smile: "Come on, Xiaoshui, sister will take care of you tonight..."
Chen Xiaoshui looked at Bai Zhe reluctantly, and Bai Zhe waved his hands encouragingly and said, "Go."
"Come on." Xiaofang took Xiaoshui's dirty hand and walked towards the second floor.
Seeing the service staff's attitude towards Xiao Shui, Bai Zhe felt relieved and turned to face the lobby manager. He smiled and asked, "Secretary Bai, do you think we can arrange one for you? The store has been open recently." There are a few newcomers here, I will choose a more beautiful one for you, I guarantee your satisfaction."
Bai Zhe smiled and said, "No, Xiao Shui will be left to you. After taking a bath, let him stay here for one night, and I will go back first."
With that said, he walked towards the door without looking back.
The lobby manager waved respectfully: "Secretary Bai, please go slowly..."
The cashier girl at the bar ran to the manager and whispered: "Manager, who will pay for Chen Xiaoshui?"
The lobby manager frowned and scolded: "Is this something you should worry about? Secretary Bai won't pay, I will pay!"
"Hey, I was just asking..." The cashier smiled and stepped back.
This question is so stupid. Who doesn't know what this bathing center is doing? If he doesn't even have this awareness, he, the manager, shouldn't do it.
