President of Zhuma PK

When Xia Shuqiu found Li Fan, he was sitting on the steps of the fire escape looking at the cloudy sky outside the window in a daze.

The typhoon seemed to be coming, and the tall coconut trees beside the road had begun to sway from side to side, losing their usual tall and straight posture.

Xia Shuqiu sat down on the steps a few steps higher than him, and said, "Li Fan, you should resign."

Li Fan turned her back to her, she couldn't see his expression, and she didn't want to see his expression at this moment.

He seemed to have smiled, and after a while, he asked in a low voice, "Why?"

Xia Shuqiu said: "I have already negotiated with Mr. 9036. He promised not to call the police, nor to report the situation to the general manager. He is willing to cover up this matter. However, he has one condition..."

"He asked you to fire me?" Li Fan said: "It's okay, you tell him to call the police, and you tell him to report to the general manager. If I haven't stolen anything, I haven't stolen anything. How can they forcefully pin the crime on me? Can't make it?"

Xia Shuqiu sighed, and said: "Li Fan, why don't you understand? Everything is against you now. If the customers of 9036 insist that you stole the watch, do you really think that they can't take you away without proof?" How about it? Don't be naive. Money can turn ghosts around. There is no doubt that the hotel will sacrifice you in order to maintain its reputation. If you must go to court to maintain your reputation, that's fine. Let me ask, you go to Where to find a lawyer? Can you afford the high legal fees and legal fees? However, the guest who lives in a luxury suite can easily do it. Why? Because he is rich and has a huge social network. Your fiasco is almost doomed. In the end, you will not only suffer from prison, but also bear the compensation awarded by the court and the legal costs of both parties. Do you think you still have a bright future in your life?"

For a long time, Li Fan couldn't say a word.

Because he clearly knew that everything Xia Shuqiu said was correct, and he had no way to refute it.

Li Fan suddenly felt that he was like a tiny ant, a speck of dust floating in the air, as long as someone stomped their feet lightly and blew in one breath, they could turn their backs on their backs and die without a place to bury them.

Xia Shuqiu continued: "So, compromise before the matter has reached the point of no return. I will explain your resignation to the department manager, and I will also ask the financial accountant to settle all your wages so far. As the saying goes, Well said, if you keep green hills, you will not be afraid of running out of firewood. You are still so young, you can always find a better way out."

Although this powerful and hard world once again made him feel a deep sense of powerlessness, fortunately, he met someone who was willing to help him and guide him in the direction.

"Thank you, Miss Qiu."

It was the first time Li Fan called her Sister Qiu from the bottom of his heart, but it also became the last time.

Xia Shuqiu put his hand on his shoulder, "After you have been in this society for a long time, you will find that things like reputation and dignity are far less important than three words, that is - to survive."

Li Fan repeated subconsciously: "To survive?"

Xia Shuqiu felt that he should be left alone for a while to think about the way ahead, so he patted his shoulder lightly and stood up from the steps.

At this moment, the door of the fire escape was pushed open with a "bang".

Xiaofan stood at the door and said out of breath, "Li Fan, I found you. Just now, an outside call came in from the front desk. A woman who claimed to be Mrs. Yang said that someone in your family was sick, but I forgot to call. What's the name..."

His family is only Song Ci!

Li Fan stood up abruptly, walked in front of Xiaofan in three steps at a time, and asked in a loud voice, "When did it happen?! What else did Mrs. Yang say?!

Xiao Fan was frightened by the unprecedented nervous expression on his face, and he said hesitantly: "Just...just 5 minutes ago. She said she...she had already called an ambulance and asked you to go to the Second People's Hospital of S City immediately. "

As soon as the words fell, Li Fan rushed out.

The most prosperous section of the road had to be quiet even in the severe typhoon.

The spacious streets have become empty, and pedestrians have long since disappeared, only sporadic vehicles speeding past occasionally, rolling up fallen leaves.

The sky has completely darkened, and white lightning is fleeting, like a badly connected incandescent lamp, and the whole world is flickering.

The wind blew so hard that Li Fan could hardly keep his eyes open.

Wearing the hotel's short-sleeved uniform, he ran wildly in the eight-degree Celsius cold wind.

The wind hit the bare skin exposed to the air, like a pair of sharp daggers, making small cuts. There was no blood, but there was clear pain.

He opened his mouth wide to breathe, and the cold wind constantly irritated his throat and lungs, causing him a burning pain, and the white gas he exhaled was annihilated by the gust of wind the moment it left his mouth.

His mind went blank.

Like a robot, he just ran desperately and mechanically in that direction.

There were rumbling thunders exploding overhead, as if thousands of troops were galloping across the sky.

He didn't pause for a moment, his eyes were bloodshot, and there was only one thought in his mind: I want to see him immediately, and I want to make sure he is safe and sound.

When the first drop of rain fell into the dust from a height of [-] feet, Li Fan finally arrived at his destination, the Second People's Hospital of S City.

He was like a trapped beast rushing left and right in the bright hospital, looking for the person he was looking for.

"Li Fan! Li Fan!" It was Mrs. Yang's voice.

He ran over, rushed into the ward, and saw Song Cizheng lying pale on the simple hospital bed in the emergency room, with large drops of sweat on his forehead, and no blood on his lips.

Li Fan squatted beside the bed, calling him hoarsely: "Song Ci..."

Song Ci struggled to open his eyes, and smiled weakly: "You're here..."

Li Fan reached out and brushed away the sweaty hair on his forehead, then held his hand on the bedside, and nodded with a smile: "Well, I'm here. Tell me, where does it hurt?"

Song Ci shook his head, and said with difficulty: "I don't hurt...don't worry..."

Li Fan knew he was lying because his hands were shaking so badly.

He turned his head and asked Mrs. Yang beside him: "Mrs. Yang, what's going on?"

Mrs. Yang told the story in detail.

"At two o'clock in the afternoon, I went to the yard to collect my clothes. I happened to see Song Ci coming back from the outside. He said that the school ended early because of the typhoon, so I asked him to come to our house to do handwork together. He just entered When I was in the room, I felt that his expression was not right, but when I asked him, he said it was all right, so I didn’t take it seriously. Unexpectedly, at around 120 o’clock in the afternoon, he got up to drink water, but suddenly fell to the ground, two I pressed my hands on my stomach, my face was bloodless, and my body was covered in sweat. I thought something was wrong, and I was the only one at home, so I called [-], and then called the hotel where you work, telling you to hurry up come over."

"what did the doctor say?"

"You just finished the inspection before you came, and the results should come out soon."

"Mrs. Yang, thank you, if it wasn't for you..."

Li Fan didn't say any more.

The door of the emergency room was pushed open, and a female doctor in a white coat walked in together with a female nurse.

"Who is Song Ci's family?"

Li Fan hurriedly stood up, "I am, I am Song Ci's family."

The female doctor raised her head and glanced at him, and said in a routine tone: "The test results came out. Acute perforation of the appendix complicated with diffuse peritonitis. The operation must be performed immediately, otherwise it will be life-threatening. You should follow the nurse to go through the hospitalization procedures first. We will arrange surgery as soon as possible."

After speaking, without waiting for Li Fan to ask anything, he turned around and left.

Li Fan didn't know what acute appendix perforation complicated by diffuse peritonitis was, but when he heard the words "life-threatening", fear immediately swept over him overwhelmingly, making him tremble uncontrollably.

"Song Ci's family, you can go through the formalities with me."

The nurse turned around, but was grabbed by Li Fan.

"How much is the surgery fee...?"

The nurse looked at the document in her hand and said, "You should pay [-] yuan first, and you will be refunded if you pay more and make up less."

Thirty thousand? !

Li Fan turned around and glanced at Song Ci who was biting his lip desperately on the hospital bed to hold back the pain, and said, "I'll pay five thousand first, and I'll make up the rest after the operation. Do you think it's okay?"

The nurse raised her head from the document and said impatiently: "The hospital has a rule that the operation must be paid first."

Li Fan was instantly furious.

"Money, money, money! You all know money! Is money more important or human life more important?! Didn't you see how much pain he had?! Is your heart growing like meat?!"

The nurse also lost her temper and said in a choked voice: "I made it very clear, this is the hospital's regulations! Do you understand the regulations?! Why are you yelling at me? What kind of hospital do you go to see what disease if you don't have money? Dude! "

After finishing speaking, the nurse pushed open the door and left angrily.

"You come back to me!"

Li Fan was about to rush out, but was grabbed by Mrs. Yang.

"Li Fan, calm down! It's useless for you to argue with her now, people's hearts have always been so realistic. Didn't you hear what the doctor said just now? Song Ci's life would be in danger if he dragged on, now The most important thing is to hurry up and collect money for Song Ci's surgery." Then, Mrs. Yang took out a bank-bank-card from her pocket and handed it to Li Fan, saying, "You know, my wife broke a few days ago. I have been idle at home for a few months, and there is 5000 yuan on this card, which is all our savings, so you can use it first."

Li Fan hesitated for a moment, then stretched out his hand to take it, with a grateful expression on his face, but his voice was full of sobs.

"Mrs. Yang, I really don't know what to do. I have no choice...Why is it so difficult? Why is it so difficult to live a good life?"

Tears rolled down Li Fan's cheeks.

On the night when his mother abandoned him and left, eight-year-old Li Yi raised his hand to wipe away the tears on his face, and said to himself: "From now on, I will live strong. Li Yi, you can't cry, you have to cry." Smile and wait for mom to come back to pick you up."

He has always known that tears are the most useless thing in this world.

Until the night when Li Guolai was accidentally killed, he knelt beside Li Guolai's dead body and wept bitterly.

At that moment, he clearly realized that his mother would not come back to pick him up again, she had completely abandoned him.He became a lonely person, no one in this world had anything to do with Li Yi, except himself, everyone became someone else.

Fortunately, God has eyes and gave him Song Ci, so that he can start a new life as Li Fan.

Although the road to starting a new life has been difficult, he has always been hopeful, and he believes that everything will be fine.

However, everything that happened today shattered the confidence and firmness he had worked so hard to build up in an instant, leaving no dregs behind.

Without Song Ci, he doesn't know if he can endure becoming a human again, he doesn't know if he can... survive.

16-year-old Li Fan squatted on the ground crying like a child in the brightly lit emergency room.
