Chapter 1190 Walking Alone
Uncle Wang sat on a wicker chair, took Li Guanqi's hand and patted a can of herbal tea in his palm. However, he did not pull it away immediately. Instead, he said seriously:
"My child, the weather is getting colder. It's better to drink less tea. I won't make it for you starting tomorrow. It's not good for your health."
He is very old and sees through many things but does not speak out. He can only express those things that should not be said in this way.
Li Guanqi squeezed the herbal tea in his hand, the expression on his face changed slightly, but finally calmed down. He took Uncle Wang's rough hand with his backhand and took out a bank card from his pocket.
"Uncle Wang, this card was left by my uncle. He told you that it is for your emergency use."
Uncle Wang didn't quite understand. He sat up straight in his chair, pushed the card away, and asked:
"What are you doing..."
Li Guanqi was no longer polite, he forced the bank card into Uncle Wang's pocket, calmed down and repeated: "Uncle Wang, the money in the card should be enough to improve your life, you can use it however you want, just Listen to me, this is also a last wish that my uncle made during his lifetime.”
Uncle Wang held his bank card and stared blankly. This was the first time he heard Li Guanqi mention Li Congrong's death, although he had already thought of it.
After a long time, Li Guanqi had been drinking tea and moving to the entrance of the supermarket. He finally recovered from his trance, straightened up, stared at the back and asked:
"Child, what are you going to do?"
This time, Li Guanqi did not sip it slowly, but looked at the old willow tree where Li Congrong and Uncle Wang once played chess, smiled softly, and drank it all in one gulp.
"I may have to go somewhere far, far away."
……
Orange Lake Fun World.
Shanming City's largest theme amusement park includes six theme parks, resorts, cultural tourism towns, etc. It covers a large area and enjoys a certain popularity in Shanghai, Jiangsu and even the country.
Day and night, there is an endless stream of tourists coming in every day. Even after the closing time comes, there is usually a delay of about an hour before all the tourists can be cleared out.
It is a bit surprising that the commission task is set in such a "yang-rich" paradise.
But it is also conceivable that due to the large area of the venue, it should take a long time, even if the number of people participating in the task reaches an exaggerated 39 people.
January 3rd is still a holiday.
The evening rush hour coincides with holidays, making the journey to Orange Lake Paradise extremely congested.
The top ten branches have set off from various locations at four o'clock this afternoon, but as of 5:27, only one branch has arrived at its destination - the tenth store.
Since Orange Lake is located far away from the urban area in Shanming City, other branches located in the city will encounter traffic jams to a greater or lesser extent.
On the contrary, the Tenth Store is not in Shanming. I took the high-speed rail and then took a taxi, which avoided most of the congested journey, so I got there first.
At the tenth store, three people came this time, namely Cheng Ming, Hu Li and Zhang Xiaoping.
Among them, those who can survive two tasks are considered elites, Hu Li and Zhang Xiaoping are among them. As for Cheng Ming, who can survive the task of store manager, he has become an idol worshiped by all the store employees.
Cheng Ming's ability is indeed unique in the Tenth Store. He has a tenacious personality and extraordinary vision. He looked around as soon as he arrived.
The ticket office at the east gate of Orange Lake is the largest, with six windows. At this time, there are only more than four hours left before the park closes, but the queue at the six windows almost stretches to the parking lot.
Cheng Ming could tell at a glance that these people only felt a headache. They were afraid of having no one to do the task and also afraid of too many people, especially when the reality and the task were superimposed, which would inevitably cause interference to the task.
Looking along the long queue at the ticket office into the park, you will see a raised castle as high as a mountain, which is the most eye-catching symbol of Orange Lake Happy World.
There is the "Orange Lake Castle". At 8 o'clock every night, all the amusement facilities in the park will be suspended, and a special fireworks display will be held outside the castle.
Cheng Ming was not from Shanming, but he had been here when he was in school and had seen it in person. He was shocked at the time, but he felt differently now.
Zhang Xiaoping is a very ordinary clerk, even in the tenth store. He was quite confused by this crowded scene, and he was at a loss when he arrived.
So I could only ask Cheng Ming, who was observing the surroundings:
"Brother Cheng, we are here early. Should we wait for store manager Ji to come, or should we take a stroll nearby?"
Hu Li had an average appearance and average temperament, but had a mean mouth. She immediately rolled her eyes and said:
"Who is responsible if something goes wrong while shopping? Just wait and forget it. We are not the ones in charge anyway."
She didn't have a problem with Zhang Xiaoping, but she was dissatisfied with the arrangement of this mission.
According to the requirements, this task will be based on the entire branch, with teamwork as the main focus, but in the end all decision-making rights, even commission processing rights, belong to the store manager alone. Ji Li is the new store manager, and he is part-time. He may not have much energy to deal with the tenth store, but he can take charge of all the commissions of the branch.
This is what Hu Li is most dissatisfied with, because she lacks a complete sense of security for Ji Li, who has a "famous reputation" and can also be said to be "notorious".
"Commission commission, the tenth store worked hard to get twenty commissions, and they still have to deliver them to him.
Without commission, who are we, and what is the final settlement? ”
What Hu Li said was reasonable, and her anger was also reasonable. The two of them knew her thoughts and did not stop her.
Cheng Ming was quite displeased with this person, because he knew very well that people who were moody and angry often didn't end well, and he didn't say much. He just pointed at the ticket window and said to Zhang Xiaoping:
"Xiaoping, go and call the leader in charge over there to learn more about the distribution and related conditions of Orange Lake's parks.
Since we came early, let’s get things done first. ”
……
At 5:53 pm, the sun sets.
A total of 39 people from the ten major branches finally gathered outside the ticket sales area.
This may be the first time in the history of Tianhai that there are so many executive clerks, but mixed in with too many tourists, they seem inconspicuous.
The ten branches are each divided into ten groups, and each store is divided into areas. There are very few people talking to each other.
But when everyone looked at each other, they discovered something was wrong. There seemed to be five people coming to the fifth branch.
Lu Caiwei held Li Guanqi's sleeves with both hands, pretending to be pitiful, and even squeezed out two false tears from the corners of her eyes, and begged in a low voice:
"Watching chess, brother, my dear brother, just let me participate, I beg you.
The store manager mission last time didn't put me to much use at all. This time it's such a fun mission at the amusement park. It's really unreasonable for you not to let me participate. ”
Li Guanqi's attitude was very clear, and there was no expression change on his face. It could be seen that Lu Caiwei had run out of tricks before, but none of them got approval, and it was the same this time.
"Now is not the time for you to act arrogant. As the store manager, I have to participate. You can still look after the store if you stay.
Be obedient and go back. ”
"I don't! Li Guanqi, are you going to let me go or not?"
Lu Caiwei seems to have an extremely abnormal need to perform tasks. When others avoid things, she goes upstream and rolls around to catch up.
On the other side, a young man from the fifth branch had a grimace on his face and whispered tentatively:
"How about letting her take my place?"
Li Guanqi glared at him fiercely, and when he saw that everyone else's eyes were focused here, he shook off Lu Caiwei's hand with a livid face and said coldly:
"I am the store manager. If I don't let you go, you can't go. Now go back!"
This time, Lu Caiwei really shed tears. She stood aside uneasily, staring at Li Guanqi blankly, and said no more.
"Okay, let's go to the ticket office."
Once Li spoke, no one dared not to obey.
Everyone moved towards the ticket office one after another, pushing aside many tourists who were queuing up along the way, causing waves of angry curses.
But everything in the real world has no meaning at all to this group of clerks who have long since ceased to apply. Some clerks even turned the fear of the upcoming mission into incompetent rage and spread it on these innocent tourists.
Ji Li walked in the middle position, neither fast nor slow, neither hasty nor slow. Before leaving, he noticed that Huangfu Jiajia's eyes stayed on Lu Caiwei for a while, and he didn't know what he meant.
The fifth branch, which had a slight interlude, was naturally the last one in the queue of clerks. Li Guanqi never looked back to see Lu Caiwei after getting rid of her, and strode away towards the ticket office with the other three clerks.
Everyone is gone, but there are still many people outside.
But Lu Caiwei seemed like the unnecessary person. She stared blankly at Li Guanqi's back, her eyes changing from dullness to clearness, and finally to determination.
"Guanqi, the puzzle is on you, the sinful items are also banned, and the commission of our store is just over fifty.
You don’t let me go, I understand;
You also understand why I went.
But no matter what, I won't let you go alone. ”
