Chapter 2 Asking for help

The next day I woke up with a split headache and my mouth was dry, and I found that I was lying on my bed at some point. I got up and poured a cup of boiling water to drink it. My face was not washed and my teeth were brushed. I found a pack of cigarettes from the drawer, took one and lit it and smoked it.

I opened the curtains and found that the snow had stopped. In the community downstairs, several children were laughing and playing snowball fights. I was smoking cigarettes and began to seriously think about my situation. According to normal analysis, I couldn't escape this time. When the general manager came back, I knew that my employee was ranked last for six consecutive months. So what else could I consider? Of course, I waved my hand: fired! At worst, I could just pay me two more months of salary, but it was so ugly! Speaking of which, I was fired, and I would dare to ask me for it in the future? If I proposed to resign myself, the situation would be different. Although I had a little less compensation, I finally fired them. Speaking of which, I would also be a little straight. I can also give various reasons to find a job in the future. In short, it is the initiative to me.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but regret that I had a trace of fantasy yesterday and did not submit my resignation immediately. "You have to recognize the situation!" I couldn't help but mutter to myself. A cigarette sucked my head and I lit another one. After a long period of consideration, I decided to voluntarily resign.

I found the paper and pen and sat down. As soon as I wrote the word resignation, my mind suddenly became blank and I could no longer write it, so I had to be stunned. At this time, there was a quarrel outside the door, and my little sister came home, and then she knocked on my door again, "Brother! Open the door, I have something to look for you."

I packed up the paper and pen, opened the door, and said angrily: "What's the matter?"

The little sister looked flattering: "Brother, didn't you say before that you had a classmate working in the gymnasium?"

"Yes! What's wrong?"

"In this way, Xu Shu is going to hold a performance meeting in the gymnasium this Saturday. You know I am the most fascinated by her. I went to the gymnasium to buy tickets early this morning. But I still have three days left before Saturday, but the tickets have been sold out. Are you angry? I know that the organizer will always leave some tickets for the related households. Brother, you have an acquaintance in the gymnasium. Should you ask me for it? Thank you! Thank you!" As she said that, she kept bowing, with a smile on her face that could not be said.

I know that my younger sister is Xu Shu's iron rice shredded rice. The room is covered with Xu Shu's posters. I bought every album of Xu Shu and even sang every song that Xu Shu has sung. Star chasers have reached the pinnacle of her. I was determined to help her, but I was a little hesitant. After all, asking for help is what I don't like to do the most.

So I said, "I haven't contacted this classmate for two years. It's not certain if they are willing to help? Besides, why do you have tickets? Maybe it's really sold out? I'll forget it, it's not good to ask for someone like this."

The little sister was anxious, grabbed my sleeve and acted coquettishly: "No! You haven't even asked, why do you know that others are unwilling to help? Brother, please, please help me ask. I know you love me the most, go and ask--" She shook my hand hard, which made me laugh and cry.

I am really afraid that my younger sister will be so coquettish, so I have to surrender: "Okay, okay, I ask, I just ask. Just let go of my hand first, are you tired?"

The little sister let go of my hand and said, "No! You have to keep your word, don't be slouching. Just call and ask now."

"Okay, okay, I'll call." I couldn't bear it, so I had to find a address book from my pocket, and after rummaging for a long time, I finally found the student's unit phone number.

I took out my cell phone and called.

"Hey! Who are you looking for?"

"Is it a gym?"

"right!"

"Did Qiu Jieqin work here?"

"Wait a minute, Xiao Qiu's phone call!"—

"Hey! Who?"

"Is Qiu Jieqin? I am Tang Qian."

"Tang Qian? Oh, hello, hello, why did you call me today? I haven't contacted me for so long, and I thought you were missing!"

"Where, I'm busy, I don't have much time."

"Hmph! You are really not a normal busy person. You haven't even had time to make a phone call for several years."

"Haha--" I had a fever on my face and had to smile.

"Come on! I don't know you for so many years? Tell me, what's the matter with me?"

I pretended to cough and said, "That's right. I heard that there was a personal concert of Xu Shu in your gymnasium on Saturday. My sister was particularly obsessed with Xu Shu, so I had to watch it. But I went to buy tickets this morning but couldn't buy them. When I came back, I had to find a way to get tickets. I really couldn't bother her. I thought that you were working in the gymnasium? So I called and asked if you could get tickets."

"Hmph! Humph! Look, I've hit it. I said, why did you suddenly remember to call me? It turned out that there was something to ask me for it."

"Okay! I'm wrong, I'll contact you more in the future, that-"

"Isn't it just a ticket? No problem. Tang Qian asked me, I want to give you face, tell me, how many tickets are needed?"

I turned around and asked my younger sister: "She asked you how many tickets do you want?" My younger sister said quickly: "Three, it's better to have five." I said: "Five? Why do you want so many?" My younger sister said: "I have a few classmates who want to see it too. Yesterday they asked me to buy it, and even gave me the money."

I had to say to my phone: "Qiu Jieqin, my sister said she wanted five, at least three, is it OK?"

"Five numbers? There are a little more, and I'm not sure I can get it. Anyway, try my best. I'll give you a reply tomorrow. What's your mobile phone number?"

I said: "139xxxxxxxxx"

"Okay, I'll write it down, I'll wait for the news tomorrow, but if I help you get it, you have to treat me to a meal to thank me, how about it?"

For the sake of my little sister, I bit my teeth and said, "No problem, I'll invite it!"

On the phone, Prince Qiu Jieqin chuckled, "Okay, that's it, bye!"

When she took back her phone, the little girl asked me anxiously: "How is it? Is it OK?"

I said, "I agreed, but maybe I'm sure, I'll give me a message tomorrow, so just wait!" The little sister was already very happy. She smiled and said, "Thank you, brother, I know you are the most capable, so please give me this matter. This is money, let me put it here. I'll wait for good news, beg--" She stuffed a stack of banknotes into my hand and left like a gust of wind.

"Hey! You-" Before I finished speaking, she disappeared. I was angry and funny, but I really couldn't do anything about this little girl. Put the money in my pocket, and I sat back to the table, found the paper and pen, and continued to write my resignation letter. But after interrupting the little girl, I lost all my clues.

I crumpled the letter paper into a ball and threw it into the trash can. I lit another cigarette, took a deep breath, vomited for a long time, and stared at the wall. After a long time, I decided not to write anymore, got up and turned on the TV, and started to watch it bored-

The day passed so idle, and my mother asked me: "Why didn't I go to work today?" I didn't dare to tell her the truth, so I had to vaguely say that the company had given me a vacation these two days and had a rest. My mother didn't feel suspicious and didn't ask again.

The next day I went out to the street for a walk around, and it felt really uncomfortable if I had no job. During this period, my colleague Li Xiaoling called and continued to comfort me. I was sent away by haha.

At about three o'clock in the afternoon, my cell phone ringed again, and I turned on and answered: "Hey?"

"Tang Qian, I am Qiu Jieqin, I'm going to treat you."

I happily said, "Have you got it? Thank you so much, how many are there?"

"Five!"

"Really? You really have a way!"

"Of course, if you don't see who is doing it, don't praise me first, show your sincerity, and you'll invite dinner."

"Okay, you just happened to give me the ticket and tell me what you want to eat?"

"Don't think that KFC chicken, McDonald's and other things can be used to send me away. I can tell you, you're going to have a big meal."

I couldn't help but touch my not too thick wallet, and I secretly complained in my heart, and said, "No problem, where can I eat it?"

"Well-Do you remember when we graduated from high school we had separate meals in a hotel? Just there, meet there at 6:30 pm."

I recalled it and remembered that it was a not too high-end hotel. I believe the little money in my wallet was enough to deal with. So I agreed: "Okay, see you at half past six."

"Haha! See you all! It's gone."

When I put it back on my phone, I couldn't help but scold my younger sister. It was all her fault that she made me want to bleed my brother. Next time I will never help such a person who harms oneself and benefits others.

It was still early, so I went to the bookstore to read it and read a few novels. I waited until the time was over, but I slowly walked to the hotel.

I found a seat in the restaurant. The waitress came to pour tea and asked me what I needed. I said I would wait a while, and I had a friend who hadn't come yet.

I lit a cigarette, looked at my watch, it was six:25, and there were five minutes left.

But when I drew two consecutive shots, Qiu Jieqin still didn't come. I became a little impatient and looked at my watch frequently. It was already six forty-five. Didn't I agree to be six fortunate? Why haven't I arrived yet?

Just as I was about to take out the third cigarette, a voice rang beside me: "Sorry, I'm late, have you been waiting for a long time? Tang Qian."

I looked up and saw a pretty and charming woman standing in front of me with a smile. I could see that she had dressed up carefully, put on light makeup on her face, and had just done her hair.
