For a moment, Wei Li stopped breathing and stared at the shop, thinking that he was hallucinating.

Ever since he separated from Shen Tinglan, he has been avoiding thinking about things related to Shen Tinglan. Even when passing by the shopping mall the two of them had been to, he would make a detour. —Otherwise, if he thinks too much, the younger brothers will see that something is wrong.

In March, he heard from the news that a wealthy businessman surnamed Shen was involved in the case, and his heart froze. He really wanted to see if Shen Tinglan had anything to do with this matter, but at that time there was not much time for Li Zeyi's college entrance examination. Now, he thought of the threats from those people before, and he really didn't dare to take the risk, so he finally gave up the idea.

He thought that the Shen family's family had a great career, so even if they got into trouble, they probably wouldn't be at the end of their ropes. Moreover, Shen Tinglan's coquettishness, if he really encountered something that couldn't be solved, he might come to ask for help.

This matter floated up in his heart for a few days, because Shen Tinglan never came to the door, so he gradually forgot about it.

Unexpectedly, one day in mid-April, three workers entered Wei Li's house carrying a piano.

At that time Wei Li was taken aback. He wanted to pay a sum of money to return them to their original owners, but he learned about the burning of the art gallery from them.

Wei Li went to the art gallery, the scorched door of the art gallery was locked, and it looked like the building was empty; he went to the apartment again, but the security guard told him that Shen Tinglan had moved out for a long time.

The school was full of fish and dragons, and he didn't dare to approach it rashly, but he tried to contact Shen Tinglan with a public phone, but what he heard was "the user you are calling does not exist".

Looking back at the news about the rich businessman surnamed Shen, there was no follow-up report. Wei Li guessed that Shen Tinglan might have gone to a foreign country or another province to avoid the limelight—he had said so before.

But Shen Tinglan in front of him was standing stiffly in front of a milk tea shop, his hair was too long for a hairstyle, although he was wearing a disposable mask, but from the dark and wandering eyes, he could clearly see the numbness in his expression.

The man in the milk tea shop was still trying to drive him away by insulting him, but he pulled down his water-stained sleeves to cover his thin wrists, wanting to leave but refusing to leave.

Wei Li looked at him quietly, forgetting to hurry.When the red light ahead turned green, he withdrew from the traffic and locked the eDonkey to the sidewalk.

All the actions were natural, he approached Shen Tinglan step by step, finally stopped in front of the other party, and made a very soft voice: "Why are you here?"

Shen Tinglan never expected that Wei Li would fall from the sky in front of her, and when she turned her head to look, she was stunned.

Wei Li looked at him blankly, and pulled him away from the boss' sight: "You were fired? What's going on?"

Shen Tinglan stared at him, her dark eyes gradually brightened, and there were crystal tears.

Shen Tinglan hadn't cried for a long time, because no one would pity her if she cried, it would only make people laugh.He shed all his tears and began to get used to covering up the pain in his heart with an indifferent attitude.

But Wei Li's appearance and concern were like a powerful hand, knocking on the door of his heart again, and all the grievances and fears he had experienced in the past few days came to his heart at this moment.

He burst into tears like a helpless child, whimpering, unable to speak clearly, and only knew to wipe his eyes with the back of his hand.

Seeing this, Wei Li took out the napkin on his body, took off his mask and wiped away his tears.

Shen Tinglan has thinned into a melon-seeded face, no longer has the plump lines of the past, and her lips are not as bloody as before, but dry and white, obviously she didn't even eat well.

Wei Li asked him, "Are you hungry?"

Shen Tinglan pouted and nodded with tears in her eyes.

So Wei Li took him to a nearby convenience store and bought bread and milk for him.

The bread was very fluffy, stuffed with meat floss, ham and egg yolk, which was considered luxurious for Shen Tinglan now. The milk was also very hot, warming his hands and heart.

After he had eaten most of it, Wei Li on the side said, "Tell me, what happened just now?"

Eating and drinking is a good comfort, Shen Tinglan has calmed down a lot now, so he told the whole thing.

After he experienced the incident in the hotel, he didn't dare to show his face in front of outsiders, so he decided to join the catering industry where he had to wear a mask and hat at work.The famous shops are all gathered at the airport, he dare not go, so he can only succumb to a certain miscellaneous milk tea shop.

The owner of the milk tea shop was a vicious and vulgar man, but Shen Tinglan had no choice but to be fierce was better than lust, so he reluctantly stayed.

"But ever since the new clerk arrived, he has become more and more picky." Shen Tinglan chewed the bread hard, his cheeks bulging, "I thought... it was because the business was not good recently that he did that, In fact, he just doesn't want to pay me..."

"Eat slowly." Seeing that he was about to choke, Wei Li pushed the milk towards his hand, and waited for him to swallow the mouthful before asking, "Have you signed the contract yet?"

Shen Tinglan nodded while sucking the milk: "Well."

"How long?"

"Eight months."

"Then how long have you been working?"

Shen Tinglan thought for a while: "Two months and nine days."

Wei Li's pretty brows frowned slightly: "It's been a probationary period after so long?"

Shen Tinglan lowered his eyes: "He said that I didn't do well enough in the first month, so I need to extend the trial period to three months."

"Then how much salary have you received so far?"

"The trial period is [-] yuan a month, and now I get a total of [-] yuan."

After hearing this number, Wei Li didn't continue to ask.

This salary is simply the lowest in the same industry in this city, and most college students may not be able to accept it, let alone Shen Tinglan's rich life in the past.He chose this store, presumably there is a secret.

Listening to Shen Tinglan sucking the last bit of milk in the carton with a straw, Wei Li asked him, "Are you full?"

Shen Tinglan hasn't had a serious meal all day today, and the food in front of him can't be called full, but he always feels in his heart that he is sorry for Wei Li, so he doesn't dare to ask for anything: "Yes."

"Then let's go." Wei Li stood up and threw the garbage in front of him into the trash can.

Shen Tinglan was a little scared suddenly, and followed him closely: "Go, where are you going?"

Wei Li didn't look back, his voice was as calm and calm as ever: "Go get your salary back."

Wei Li walked into the milk tea shop just now, and when the shop owner saw Shen Tinglan following him in, he glared at him: "Why, why are you looking for help if you don't have money?"

Wei Li glanced at the boss: "I buy milk tea, will you sell it?"

The place is remote, and business is not easy to do. Naturally, the shop owner can't catch up with customers coming to the door, and the intern who just arrived is still cooking pearls, so he can't come to serve, so he has to personally receive: "What do you want to drink?"

Wei Li glanced at the menu, and then said: "Precious milk, medium cup, add ice, add coconut, add milk cap, three portions of sugar."

Shen Tinglan hid behind Wei Li, and when he heard the words, he quietly tugged at the hem of his clothes, and said in a voice that only two people could hear: "This shop is dirty, you can't drink it!"

Wei Li didn't respond, and took out his mobile phone to swipe the QR code to pay.After receiving the payment, the boss took out an empty cup from the side, ready to start making a cup of milk tea.

As soon as he turned around, Wei Li raised his phone and started taking pictures of the console.

He took out the bottles and jars and began to add ingredients, and Wei Li continued to take pictures.

He opened the refrigerator door, and Wei Li took pictures again.

He waited for the pearls to be cooked, and Wei Li not only took pictures, but also tiptoed to video for a few seconds.

Shen Tinglan watched from the side, unable to guess what Wei Li was doing, but he believed in Wei Li, so he kept silently huddled by the side like a quail.

After the pearls were boiled for 3 minutes, the boss snatched the spoon from the trainee clerk, took a spoonful and put it in the cold water soaked in syrup to cool for a few seconds before pouring it into the cup.

When the boss finished the cup and turned around, Wei Li had already put away the phone, took the straw by himself, and was ready to plunge it into the cup. The boss handed him the sealed milk tea directly.

Wei Li took the milk tea, but didn't leave. He dragged Shen Tinglan to sit on the only high stool in the store, and used a straw to stir the pearls in the transparent cup, and then posed for a while.

After the posing, he didn't drink, took out a tissue, took out the pearls one by one, put them on the tissue, and fiddled with the phone.

At this time, the store owner finally noticed something strange, and began to chase people away with anxiety: "Go after you buy, don't hinder my business."

"Business?" Wei Li glanced at the empty doorway, "There is no business in your shop right now. And you know what we are here for. If you make up his salary, we will leave naturally."

The boss saw that he knew something about the situation, so he completely lowered his face: "It's funny, he's been probationary for two months, so I didn't pay him a salary? And with his clumsy appearance, it's not bad to pay him some salary! Do you want me to count for him the sporadic days in the future?"

"Forget it, of course." Wei Li calmly said, "Article 19, Paragraph 2800 of the Labor Contract Law stipulates that if the contract period is more than three months but less than one year, the probationary period shall not exceed one month. That is to say, From the second month onwards, what you pay him has to be the salary of a regular employee, which is the [-] yuan written on the recruitment poster outside."

The intern employee who was pouring pearls into the box at the side sneaked a glance at the boss. When the boss noticed it, he snapped back and said, "Do your job!"

"In addition, although you are self-employed, you don't need to pay severance pay, but you have to pay a certain amount of financial compensation." Wei Li continued, "The financial compensation is paid according to the actual working years, one month's salary a year, less than half a year. Half a month, that is to say, you have to give him another 1400 yuan."

"Financial compensation for stepping on a horse! Don't scare me!" The boss put his waist on his back and said in a rough voice, "When he first came to the store, he caused me a lot of trouble, knocking over the ingredients several times, wasting I don’t know how many things, it’s not bad to give him that little money!”

"Nonsense!" With Wei Li's backing, Shen Tinglan also gained confidence in his heart, "Your things only add up to more than 30 yuan, and you asked me to pick them up, clean them up and put them back! You have nothing to lose at all!"

The boss sneered: "Oh, fine, then you spend thousands of dollars to find a lawyer, sue me!"

"Sue you? It doesn't have to be so troublesome." Wei Li pointed to the milk tea at hand, "There are hairs and bugs on your head, I have taken pictures for backup, and Article 148 of the "Food Safety Law" stipulates that customers can Ask the store to refund the meal fee, and ask the merchant to pay 10 times the price in compensation, if the compensation is less than 1000 yuan, it will be 1000 yuan. How about it, do you need me to call the Consumers Association now?"

[The author has something to say: Q version of the small theater~

Shen Tinglan: (hiding behind Wei Li) It's this bad guy who bullies your little baby!

Wei Li: Don't worry, I will show him the power of knowledge.
