you are all star

Chapter 13 Resignation Letter

Louis watched Neil turn and go back to the restaurant to eat the steak he and Nuana had left for him, his back was so hurried and impatient, he couldn't help but sighed, shook his head, and fell into deep thought.

The bright light shone on Louis' helpless face, it seemed that even though the stars and moonlight outside the window were bright, it was difficult to illuminate the darkness around him.

He was thinking like this on the sofa, and he also prayed that the letter of resignation would really help Neil and Nuana. Neil is also like me today, living in this stinky, dirty slum everywhere, so I must work hard to fight for our equal rights and freedoms.

Louis fell asleep on the sofa after thinking about it. After eating, Neil returned to the living room. After his father was fast asleep, he went to the bedroom and covered him with a quilt. Since Nuana couldn't hold Louis, Neil They couldn't help it, both of them wanted to wake Louis up, but they thought he was too tired, so they didn't bother him. They made him cover the quilt again, then turned off the lights and the TV, and went to sleep.

That night, Neil dreamed of being in a crowded arena again. Because of a breakthrough layup, he stepped on the opponent's foot and left the field with a sprained ankle. At this time, the stadium was tense and anxious, and many people prayed for him. There were also many people holding their heads in despair. When the team decided to give him a comprehensive inspection for safety reasons, they asked teammates and coaches to help him out of the arena. At this time, the entire arena shouted his name: "You are an All-Star , You are the MVP of the regular season and the MVP of the finals. We believe that you will be fine and will come back soon to lead the team to compete for the championship trophy. We also have confidence in you. Come on... Neil."

However, without him in this game, the team lost to the opponent by [-] points. This is also the biggest point difference the team has ever lost. After the game, after the experts checked Neil for many times, he had a serious ankle fracture. , I am afraid that even if the operation is performed, there will be sequelae, and the recovery will take at least one season.

And in the dream, when Louis and Nuana heard the news, they cried and cried beside his bed, distraught.

Seeing that he was injured, his parents had to recuperate for a season, and they were in so much pain that the crisp sound of tears dripping and their cries woke him up from his dream.

He suddenly opened his eyes, only to realize that it was a dream, so he looked out of the window, the moon was still high in the sky, and he reached out to touch his forehead, sweating coldly.

He suddenly said to himself in surprise: "It's really strange. Why did I have a dream similar to that of a year ago? And this time I actually dreamed that I was injured while playing. The fans cheered me up. I hope I can do it again. Recovering, getting back on the court, and my parents dying because of my injury."

"Hey... this dream is really inexplicable. I, a black kid who doesn't even have a chance to go to school, can become an All-Star? It's ridiculous. Never mind, sleep, this is just a dream, but then again Come back, if I really become an All-Star, won’t my mother’s illness be treated?”

"So, I must not be scared off by the injury in the dream. I have to practice more diligently, exercise, earn more money for the future, cure my mother's illness, and buy a big house in the city. Let our family stay away from this slum forever, if there is such a day, it would be great!"

Neil closed his eyes, and fell asleep peacefully while talking.

When he opened his eyes again, the sun was already drying his buttocks. He put on his clothes and pants, jumped out of the bed, put on his shoes, opened the door and went out, searched the room, but he knew what to do if he didn't see Louis and Nuana. It was time to go to work, so I picked up the game console and continued playing basketball mobile games by myself.

In fact, this morning, before Nuana got up early in the morning, Louis finished washing, went to the bedroom to get the letter of resignation, and went straight to the Mills construction site.

When Louis came to the construction site, the other workers did not come, nor did Mills. He sat down on the wild ground around the construction site, breathing the morning air, bathing in the morning sun, looking into the distance seemingly calmly alone, But his eyes were deep and confused, and he never dared to look further away. He could only stare at the spot for a while, and at the haystack and lawn next to him for a while. When the grass is blowing low, you can see the scenery in the distance, but they are too short, and there is no time to react. It seems that all the good times are over.

He just sat on the deep lawn for nearly an hour before Mills came to work leisurely.

When Louis saw Mills coming to work, his first reaction was to hold the resignation letter tightly in his hand, which he never left.

When he heard the creaking sound of the construction subway door, he knew that Mills must be coming to work, so he was a little nervous, a little impatient, and a little worried, holding the resignation letter in his hand, stood up from the wild lawn, and walked towards The gate of the construction site ran over and greeted Mills with a smile: "Hi, good morning boss!"

"Louis, morning!"

Mills glanced at Louis, but his eyes froze on the paper in Louis' hands, and asked tentatively, "Why is it so early this morning?"

Louis replied lightly: "Boss, in order to make a living, I have to work from dawn to dusk."

"Haha... I didn't expect you to be quite enlightened?"

"Thank you boss for the compliment."

Mills stared at the paper in his hand very curiously: "By the way, what are you holding in your hand? For me?"

It was only then that Louis suddenly realized that he hadn't given him the resignation letter, so he nodded and handed the folded in half to Mills.

Millston was dumbfounded by the title of the article: Resignation Letter. He stared at Louis with an innocent expression and said, "Louis, what do you mean? I helped you yesterday, and today you want to Resign from your promise and leave?”

"Boss, I'm sorry, I admit that you are a very nice person, but I don't know if you have heard that you asked Wallace to introduce our family to the principal, but we were turned away."

"But the principal doesn't want to see you, it's not my fault!"

"But boss, my son is four years old, and it's time for him to go to school. Since you tried your best, but you can't help me, why don't you let me resign and leave, and then I can think of other ways."

Hearing what Louis said, Mills seemed to have made up his mind to go, so he stared at him in a threatening tone and said, "Of course you can go, but you owe me a favor, how are you going to pay it back?"

"It's easy to repay debts, but it's hard to repay debts. Isn't the boss deliberately embarrassing me?"

"Yes, I just want you to work hard for me."

When Louis heard the words from Mills, his wife's idea suddenly appeared in his mind.

Louis raised his head proudly, stared at Mills with wide eyes, and said in a threatening tone: "Let's see if you are interested in hearing my conditions!"

Mills pointed at Louis, shaking his hands back and forth angrily: "You...are you threatening me?"

"I can not!"

"What condition? You might as well tell me and listen."

"The first condition is to help my son finish the school affairs for ten days; the second condition is to pay me double salary while I work at your construction site. If you refuse one of the above two conditions, I'm sorry, I'm leaving, you find someone else."

"Louis, why are you so naive! It doesn't do me any good if I do this, why should I do this?"

"That's fine, you take the resignation letter or I tear it up and throw it into the trash can, just pretend that I have never worked under you."

Mills listened to the two conditions of Louis, in fact, he could easily fulfill them, but the person in front of him seemed to have suspected that he had done something with the principal of Wentz Elementary School, and came today with a letter of resignation, as if to come Those who are testing the waters must not obey Louis' wishes. If he wants to leave, let him go.

Mills pondered for a while, tore up the letter of resignation on the spot, stared at Louis and said, "Louis, I'm sorry, I can't agree to your conditions, you go!"

When the words came out, Louis suppressed tears, but bit his lips, nodded to Mills, turned around and walked away with a backbone. Whenever he walked by, the grass and dust followed him.

Mills stared at his back with a sneer, and said to himself: "Louis, if you still want to fight with me like you, you wait, you will have to work hard for me sooner or later, and I will definitely make your family feel bad. How many people in Alexandria dare not give me a good face if you dare to toast and not eat fine wine, write me a resignation letter, just rely on you, you are still young, just wait and see!"
