Chapter 34 Redemption
“Let us raise a glass together to welcome the arrival of Deputy Director Raymond!”
Carlos picked up the red wine glass with a smile on his face and a hearty and enthusiastic voice. .
Ding~
Everyone raised their glasses and said in unison: "Welcome Deputy Director Raymond."
Raymond filled the glass with wine, raised it, and said concisely: "Thank you all."
After saying that, he drank it all.
His speaking and working style are consistent, vigorous and resolute, and he does not speak too many clichés.
When he was in the special training class, Su Mo liked Instructor Raymond's style very much because Instructor Raymond reminded him of his former high school principal.
I think back then, at the opening ceremony, the principal’s “Let me just say a few words” went on for a full hour. The person who spoke was so dizzy that he wanted to rush to the podium and seal his mouth. .
Since then, "Let me say a few words" has become the most feared sentence among students.
Leimeng's simple reply aroused many people's surprise. They did not expect that the new deputy director would have such a style. This was indeed strange to them who had met many leaders.
After a toast together, the dinner officially began.
What’s interesting is that Carlos was surrounded by people, while there were only three people around Raymond, Su Mo, Lu Fan, and Jamie. The other executives were all huddled in their seats, watching from a distance but not daring to get close.
There is no way, anyone with a brain knows that next, Deputy Director Raymond and Director Carlos will definitely have an incompatible relationship, even if Raymond has three of his students around him, and Each of these three people is outstanding and has extraordinary strength, but after all, Director Carlos has been in charge of the shelter for more than ten years, how can a few outsiders challenge him?
Five minutes, ten minutes, fifteen minutes...
For half an hour, no one dared to come forward to toast with Raymond privately.
This situation made the atmosphere of the banquet extremely strange. Seeing this scene, the corners of Carlos' mouth could not help but curl up slightly.
……
Creak~
Fang Hao clenched and unclenched his palms, struggled with his eyes, and finally gritted his teeth, grabbed the wine glass in his hand, and wanted to get up.
“Old Fang!”
At this moment, a hand next to him grabbed Fang Hao’s arm tightly.
Li Wucheng looked at Fang Hao, shook his head, and lowered his voice:
“Don’t go.”
"Old Li!" Fang Hao took a deep breath and said with firm eyes:
"I don't want to be a coward all my life."
Li Wucheng opened his mouth, and the words he wanted to persuade immediately stuck in his throat. , it’s hard to tell.
He knew what Fang Hao was talking about as a coward.
Seven years ago, not long after Fang Hao joined Shelter 11, one night, he encountered something that changed the trajectory of his life.
At that time, Fang Hao heard a woman calling for help. When he rushed there, he found a girl of thirteen or fourteen years old being assaulted by several people. He quickly shouted to stop her and revealed his identity as an executive.
However, the leader threw out a sentence - "I am Sally's biological brother, Josie. If you don't want to cause trouble, get out of here."
After saying that, Josie Then he forcefully dragged the girl away.
Although the girl was still calling for help desperately, Fang Hao seemed to be frozen at that time, watching several people leave.
Sally, the deputy director, is something that a newcomer cannot mess with.
In this world, it is already very difficult to survive, so being violated should be nothing, right?
Fang Hao comforted himself.
But the next day, Fang Hao received the bad news that the girl who was dragged away by Qiao Xi committed suicide at home by cutting her wrists at the age of 14 because she was unwilling to be humiliated. After learning the news, Fang Hao collapsed instantly. He locked himself in the room without eating or drinking until three days later.
However, Fang Hao has completely changed when he comes out. He has become smooth, accidental, and sensual. He hangs out in romantic occasions and can get along with everyone.
However, only Li Wucheng, who is a good friend, knows that that incident has become a permanent thorn in Fang Hao's heart. Whenever he thinks about it, Fang Hao will have insomnia all night long.
Li Wucheng remembered how Fang Hao was drunk and crying at home on the first night after Su Mo arrived, after Deputy Director Sally was defeated by Su Mo with one punch.
"Lao Li, you know, I dreamed about that girl again a few days ago. In the dream, she asked me with despair on her face, aren't you an executive? Why don't you save people? Why don't you save people? Stand by and watch?"
"In the same situation, Lu Fan took action, Su Mo took action, and I was a coward, I was just a coward!"
"Old Li! , I regret it, I really regret it. If I had half the courage of Lu Fan and Su Mo, that girl would not have died, and she might be married now!"
"I'm sorry, I'm really sorry!!!"
That night, Fang Hao got himself very drunk. Although the next day, he was the same as before, but only Li Wucheng knew that Fang Hao's My heart has changed.
"Old Li!" Fang Hao's eyes were red and his voice was choked: "I really, really don't want to be a coward anymore."
Li Wucheng took a deep breath and relaxed slowly He opened his hand, then stood up, a smile suddenly appeared on his face:
"Let's go, Old Fang, I will save ourselves together with you."
As the executive officer of Shelter 11, who has never encountered darkness?
It’s just that some people choose to use light to crush the darkness, while some people can only blend into the darkness.
He is the pitiful, hateful person who blends into the darkness and constantly excuses himself~
"Old Li!"
Fang Hao did not expect that Li Wucheng would do what he did It was the same choice as his own. However, when he saw the complexity and determination in his friend's eyes, he understood instantly.
"Let's go~"
Under everyone's surprised, shocked and puzzled gaze, Fang Hao and Li Wucheng came to Raymond side by side.
"Deputy Director Lei Meng, we both toast you."
Fang Hao's voice was trembling, but to his own surprise, at this moment, he actually felt a Her buttocks had never felt lighter, as if a thousand pounds of weight had been lifted off her. Dozens of dagger-like gazes were all unimportant at this moment.
"And I, deputy director." Li Wucheng said seriously.
Raymond looked at them, a smile gradually appeared on his stern face: "Tell me your names."
"Fang Hao!"
"Li Wucheng!"
"Fang Hao, Li Wucheng." Raymond raised his glass, clinked it with their glasses, and said sincerely: "I will remember you."
Leymon knew very well that this situation was Next, how much pressure did Fang Hao and Li Wucheng have to bear before they dared to get up and step forward.
The two chose him, and he will definitely not betray their trust.
Su Mo looked at Fang Hao and Li Wucheng in front of him with a smile on his lips.
Although there are not many people, at least this is a good start~
"Director."
Li Hu approached Carlos and gestured in the direction of Raymond A look.
Carlos glanced sideways, his expression was as usual, but his eyes were a little colder.
"Fang Hao, Li Wucheng, hum!"
