Chapter 22: How to repay kindness with kindness
Night fell quietly, like a huge velvet curtain falling slowly.
Riverside Park.
Li Yue leaned on the railing quietly and looked into the distance, the evening breeze blowing slowly from the riverside caressing her long silky hair.
The sudden visit of the old leader today was like a pebble thrown into a calm lake, making her already calm heart no longer able to maintain the peace of the past.
Those dusty memories were quietly awakened at that moment.
It’s not that I miss my former lover, but that I remember my helpless self at that time.
In the past, she would run on the track in the park at this time every day, enjoying the pleasure and relaxation brought by exercise, but today she was not in that mood.
Lin Yuan appeared beside her, neither too close nor distant, with just the right distance.
Wearing a simple sportswear, he has a tall and straight figure and exudes a vigorous atmosphere.
"Why don't you run today?"
The two of them are barely running buddies.
There are many young people running here, but it is indeed rare to see people like Lin Yuan who can keep running every day regardless of rain or shine.
This also gave Li Yue some impression of him.
But before today, the two had never had any conversation, just like two parallel lines.
Ever since Tian Yulan came to choose the right thing to do something bad, Lin Yuan had anticipated all the situations that might happen in the future.
He can ignore the manager's orders, his girlfriend's coquettishness, and the temptation of money.
The only thing that cannot be solved is Li Yue, whom Nan Jianlong invited.
He has been suffering from the lack of opportunities to contact Li Yue.
Originally, Lin Yuan was already prepared. If Yan Ziyou could really enter the gold medal class, he would leave the selection. He would not benefit Tian Yulan at all.
But there is always a path, and he was surprised to find that Li Yue was the woman he met every night while running.
It’s just that the real person is more elegant and tall than the one in the play.
He was not in a hurry to say hello or make friends with the other person.
Every time we meet by chance on the runway at night, at most we just give a slight nod and a nod.
What kind of identity the other party has, rushing forward to strike up a conversation will only arouse the other party's vigilance.
Since he and Li Yue had the basis of acquaintance, he would naturally not let Nan Jianlong's wishful thinking come true.
He has no intention of climbing the big tree of Li Yue, nor does he want to gain any benefits by getting to know Li Yue. He just wants to take this opportunity to give Nan Jianlong's family some eye drops.
After all, in the play, Nan Jianlong caused the other party to lose his job and his work was divided.
It is not an exaggeration to say that there is deep hatred.
Lin Yuan just wants to help Li Yue recognize Nan Jianlong's true face and her true inner thoughts.
Li Yue slowly turned her gaze to Lin Yuan. The moment their eyes met, the first thing that caught her eye was a pair of clear eyes without any impurities.
Lin Yuan asked again: "Are you worried?"
Li Yue was slightly startled, then nodded gently.
For some reason, facing this strange young man, she had the idea of pouring out all her thoughts.
"Meeting is fate." Lin Yuan chuckled, "You might as well talk and listen. Someone has said that I am very suitable to be a listener."
Li Yue pursed her lips lightly, with complex emotions in her eyes, and said slowly:
“There is an old leader who I haven’t seen for many years, and he wants to ask me to do something.
In fact, it’s just a piece of cake for me, but I don’t want to help him. “Have a grudge?”
Li Yue shook her head gently, her hair fluttering gently in the breeze, and her chatter gradually opened up: "It's not really hatred, it's just resentment at most. He is my old leader, He could have tried to get me a regular job, but he didn't help me."
"But you still agreed to him, right? Otherwise you wouldn't be like this." Lin Yuan's words contained a hint of insight into people's hearts.
Li Yue nodded slightly at first, and then slowly shook his head, his expression full of contradictions.
"He helped, but not completely." Her voice was a little low, and there was a hint of complexity in her smile. "He wanted me to get two places for him in the training class. I said I He can only win one. "
"It depends on it. Maybe his goal has been achieved."
"You mean..." flashed in Li Yue's mind. Over guesswork.
"How can you repay kindness with kindness?" Lin Yuan said an old saying, and then said: "I also have a story, do you want to hear it?"
"I used to be a primary school teacher. I needed money urgently, so I violated the school rules. After-school tutoring classes were opened.
Originally, when the school found out about this, the punishment would be probation at most.
When the mother of one of my students found out, she thought it was because I didn’t treat everyone equally and focused my teaching on the remedial class and was reserved in class, which was why her child failed to do well in the exam
Later she said. They reported me directly to the Education Bureau. I explained everything to the principal and parents, but the parent was still unwilling to withdraw the complaint. In the end, I had to leave my job
But things were far from over. After I resigned from the school, I entered a training class and taught the best class. Coincidentally, the student was also studying in the training class here.
Because I have offended me, I have always disagreed with her children entering my class. Even if her mother stuffed me red envelopes, said hello to my leader, and called my girlfriend, it was of no use. .
I have heard a saying: If you can forgive anything, then you deserve what you have experienced.
You helped him, but what about the helpless you? ”
When the next two sentences came into her ears, her body seemed to be hit by a sudden electric current, and she was shaken all over.
yes!
How helpless I once was.
Obviously I just need the old leader to say a word for me.
Her work, her children, her family...
“If it’s not what I expected, after you agree this time, your old leader will come find you again.
In the name of 'a bowl of water is not equal', please help again.
When you are thinking about old feelings and hesitating, he will tell you the 'truth' that has been buried for many years.
Maybe he didn’t have enough power at the time, maybe he tried his best to fight for you, maybe you were not qualified at the time, maybe you were not capable enough at the time.
In short, once the knot that has been in your heart for many years is resolved, you will naturally be willing to give your old leader another favor.
As for whether it is the truth, it has long been impossible to verify. ”
Don't ask Lin Yuan why he knows so clearly, because he has watched the original drama.
Li Yue frowned slightly and fell into deep thought.
She doesn't want to think too badly of the old leader, but she also doesn't want to be taken advantage of because of her kindness.
After a moment, she slowly muttered: "But I...have already promised him."
"I have an idea, do you want to hear it?"
