Chapter 7 The Sonorous Rose in Adversity

Li Yi could barely recognize her. Her round face, which used to look a little chubby, was now so thin that her cheekbones could be seen, and her body was even thinner, so weak that she looked like she had lost at least a dozen catties.

Qian Duo's nose ached, and he said, "How did Miss Shu Chang become so thin?"

Shu Chang walked up to Li Yi and said in a low voice, "Hello, Magistrate Li."

Seeing her gray lips and dull eyes, Li Yi asked with concern, "How do you feel? Go to the hospital?"

"No, County Magistrate Li, I'm so glad to see you." Shu Chang said, feeling a little exhausted: "I haven't eaten for two days, and I'm a little hungry."

After hearing this, Liu Guangming jumped around and cursed: "You people, how do you take care of Comrade Shu Chang? We are all colleagues. She has been ill for two days. Why don't you even feed her a meal?"

Shu Chang said: "Director Liu, don't blame them, it's because I can't eat. Also, the bed sheets and clothes accumulated in the past two days will be washed when I get better."

Liu Guangming slowed down his voice and said, "You don't need to wash the sheets and clothes, so you can recover from your illness at ease. After you recover, you should return to work on the floor."

"Really, thank you, Director Liu!" Shu Chang thanked loudly, and it was obvious that she was very happy.

Li Yi glanced at Liu Guangming from the corner of his eye, thinking to himself that this guy is very proficient at adapting to the wind!

No matter how you think about this matter, Li Yi feels a little weird. Shu Chang is someone who has served him before. He has always been friendly to Shu Chang. It is said that Liu Guangming would not treat Shu Chang like this even for his sake.

"Well, Shu Chang, let's go out to eat together." Li Yi said calmly.

Liu Guangming had been paying attention to Li Yi's expression, but he couldn't see anything at all, so he frowned slightly.

Shu Chang nodded happily and agreed.

Li Yi led Shu Chang and Qian Duo to go outside, while Liu Guangming and Xiaoyu sent them to the door.Liu Guangming also took the initiative to help Li Yi open the car door, watched them get into the car, and said with a smile: "Shu Chang, if you play too late, it's okay if you don't come back today or tomorrow, I will grant you paid leave."

Shu Chang wanted to say something, but Li Yi had already rolled up the window glass to isolate Liu Guangming's flattering face from the outside.

Qian Duo started the car and asked, "County Li, where should we go for dinner?"

Li Yi said: "Find a better hotel."

Qian Duo hummed, and said with a smile, "Xiao Chang, I haven't seen you in three months, how did you get into this look? If you remake A Chinese Ghost Story, you can play the female ghost directly on camera, without makeup."

He is quite familiar with Shu Chang, and he spent a lot of time together before, so he speaks a little unscrupulously, and there is a rare smile on his face.

Shu Chang pouted: "I have a cold."

Li Yi asked: "I heard from Xiaoyu, have you been a laundry worker for three months?"

Shu Chang hummed lightly, and was so wronged that she was about to cry.

Li Yi asked in a deep voice: "What's the matter? Didn't you serve on the floor before? Why was this kind of rough work assigned to you? Did you make any mistakes?"

Shu Chang shook her head, bit her lip, but didn't speak.

Qian Duo said: "Xiao Chang, don't be afraid. If you have anything to say, just say it, and County Magistrate Li will make the decision for you. Why, don't you even trust County Magistrate Li?"

Li Yi also said: "Xiao Chang, do you have any grievances?"

Shu Chang blinked his big eyes, but the corners of his eyes were filled with tears.

Li Yi said: "I know that you are a strong and sensible girl, and you are serious and responsible in your work. You should not make any mistakes. I remember you told me that every waitress who had been with the county leaders followed the county leaders to go home I've become a nanny. Is it because I didn't take you away that others think you are not favored by me, so they think you are easy to bully? "

Shu Chang lowered his head, stretched out his hand to wipe his eyes, hummed softly, then suddenly raised his head and said: "This is only one reason. Although I don't like you, County Magistrate Li, they won't treat me like this. "

Li Yi asked: "Is there any other reason?"

Shu Chang hesitated to speak, and under Li Yi's repeated urging, he said: "I was excluded by Director Liu because I offended a leader in the county, and that leader asked Director Liu to arrange my life like this. .”

"The leader of the county?" Li Yi asked, "Who?"

Shu Chang said: "I only know that everyone calls him Mrs. Zheng. I heard that he is a Mrs. Zheng from the county party committee. He is a big official."

Li Yi's face darkened, and he said: "Is it Zheng Chunshan? It's the short, fat guy with a big belly. When he walks, he always puts his hands on his big belly, for fear that his belly will hang to the ground. A rosy face, always full of smiles."

Shu Chang nodded repeatedly: "This is the person. Although this person always smiles, there is a knife hidden behind the smile!"

Li Yi smiled when he heard this, thinking that even this innocent little girl could tell that Zheng Chunshan was a tiger with a smiling face, which shows that this man's ability to pretend to be garlic is very common.He showed his sharp fangs at every turn, making it easy for people to see through the knife hidden in his smile.

"You were wronged, why didn't you come to me?" Li Yi asked.

"I'm afraid I'll bring you trouble. I heard that he is the deputy secretary of the county party committee, and his ranking in the standing committee is higher than you. It's fine for him to retaliate against me alone. You are a good person, and I don't want him to go." 'Harassing' you." Shu Chang said softly.

Li Yi thought to himself, you have already sent you a good person card, and you still refuse to come to me for help, so isn't it too hypocritical for me to be a good person?

At the same time, he was very curious, wondering why Zheng Chunshan had a conflict with a young waiter in the guest house, and became furious, using his power to embarrass a simple little girl like this?

"What happened?" Li Yi asked.

Shu Chang shook her little head, a little reluctant to speak.

"If you don't tell me, how can I help you?" Li Yi said: "You are a weak woman, but you still think of me in adversity, and I am a man of seven feet, can't I protect you? Even if we don't know each other, my body As the executive deputy magistrate of Linyi County, he is also responsible for redressing your grievances, right?"

Shu Chang said: "Director Liu has promised me just now, and asked me to go back to be a floor attendant, which is very good, I have no grievances to complain about. Really!"

"Fake! If you don't want to treat me as a friend, forget it." Li Yihu said with a face.

"County Li, I, I have always regarded you as a friend." Shu Chang said shyly, and took a bold look at Li Yi.

Li Yi was looking at her gently, making her feel the care of a friend.

"Since you consider me a friend, tell me, what happened?" Li Yi said.

"County Li," Shu Chang said, "You went home during your annual vacation last year, but our waiters didn't have a vacation. You didn't tell me before you left. I thought you would come back. Until It was almost Chinese New Year, and Director Liu notified me that County Mayor Li had moved away, and asked me to return to serve in the floor department.”

"Well. Sorry, I left in a hurry and didn't have time to say goodbye to you. "

"You are the leader, of course you don't need to say goodbye to me, I can't bear it." Shu Chang said: "On the 28th of the twelfth lunar month, that is, the night before the Chinese New Year, the county held the last New Year group meeting, and all the county leaders at home went to Attended, there is a need for waitresses at the meeting, and eight of the floor attendants in our county guest house were selected by random to serve the meeting."

Li Yi said: "Oh, that day, huh, huh, I arrived in the capital a long time ago, and I didn't attend that meeting."

Shu Chang said: "Yes, there were only three or four county leaders who attended the meeting. Mrs. Zheng was the biggest official there, and I heard him speak all the time."

Li Yi said: "Then why would it conflict with you?"

Shu Chang said: "Director Liu said that because I am the most beautiful among the eight waiters, he arranged for me to serve at the 'Chairman' desk, serving tea, water, and paper towels for several county leaders. Things tell me, and I run errands for them."

Li Yi nodded: "In the county guest house, you are indeed the most beautiful. Although you are a little thinner now, you still feel thin, and you look even more delicate."

Shu Chang touched his face, and said: "We are the children of the peasant family, who suffer from hard work. If we are delicate and weak, how can we make a living? I just hope that I will be thicker and be unscrupulous. , the cold and heat don’t invade, that’s the best.”

After hearing this, Li Yi knew that she was telling the truth, and felt a little sad.

In Li Yi's memory in this life, she had exactly the same thoughts as her when she was a child. She only wanted to be in good health, not to get sick, and not to be afraid of the cold, so that she would not have to go to the hospital to spend the wrong money, and she would not have to spend money to buy thick clothes when it snowed in winter. thick cotton coat.

"It will get better in the future!" Li Yi said softly: "What happened later?"

Shu Chang said: "Madam Zheng seemed to be very thirsty that day. Before he could say a few words, he had to drink a big sip of water. I had to refill his water every now and then. Once when I was refilling his water, he was very forceful. Staring at me, the eyes are very scary, as if they want to swallow me alive, and my heart is pounding."

Li Yi frowned, thinking that maybe something was wrong, this Zheng Chunshan is notoriously lustful!He even dared to get his hands on a woman involved in underworld affairs. How could he not be tempted when he saw such a beautiful, fragrant and delicate stamen as Shu Chang?

When Shu Chang said this, he shook his head as if he couldn't bear to look back, and didn't want to continue.

Qian Duo said angrily, "This old bastard, did he bully you?"

Shu Chang wept and said, "He's not only an old bastard, but also a bastard! He's an old pervert!"

Qian Duo snorted coldly: "You just say it and let County Magistrate Li decide for you!"

While talking, the car drove to the front of a hotel.

This is a newly opened hotel in Linyi. It is clean and comfortable. I paid Li Yi to eat twice. I think the food and service are very good.Li Yi said just now that he wanted to find a better hotel, and Qian Duo immediately thought of this place.
