Chapter 15
Chen Tingwei's ID card was not as easy as he thought.
He waited in Lianjue's villa for nearly two weeks. In the meantime, Lin Chen brought someone over to take a few photos of him, prepared a textual material to tell him to memorize it, and asked him to answer the household registration investigator who came to visit strictly according to the contents of the materials.
Two weeks later, when Lin Chen handed the completed ID card and a brand new household registration book to him, Chen Ting felt a little guilty when he didn't answer: "Sorry, I didn't expect it to be so troublesome."
"It's okay." Lin Chen had the usual formulaic smile on his face, like a dummy with no personal emotions, asking him if he still needs to talk to Lian Jue on the phone.
Chen Ting didn't think about it anymore and said no, so he just asked him to help convey his gratitude.
Before leaving, Lin Chen asked him where he wanted to go and whether he needed a driver to send him. He shook his head and hesitated to pull out one from the stack of cash prepared for him by the other party. He wanted to pay it back in the future, but he felt that Lian Jue would not care about the money - if he really paid it back, he might be misinterpreted by Lian Jue as another meaning - he didn't want Lian Jue to misunderstand anything anymore, so he just said thank you seriously.
Chen Ting came out of the villa with empty hands, looked at the empty street, and breathed a long sigh, and his dull mood became inexplicably relaxed after looking at the empty street.
There was a laptop in the room where he lived. Chen Ting hadn't turned on it and found that the network was already connected, probably because it was Lian Jue or Lin Chen prepared it for him.
I checked the recruitment website in advance and filtered out those who needed academic qualifications and work experience. There was not much recruitment information left, and even less food and accommodation were included. He carefully copied the recruitment address and phone number on the note, and included those who served the plates in the hotel, planning to go over for an interview one by one.
After walking along the road that had been back from the hospital for a long time, several empty taxis slowed down when passing by. He waved his hand and refused the other party's carry.
He had a hundred yuan on his body, and he didn't know how far it was from here to the city. It was still early anyway, so walking a little longer would save some taxi fare.
He needed to leave some money to plan for tonight - if he didn't find a suitable job, he might need to find a youth hostel to stay temporarily at night. He checked it and said that the cheapest hostel here costs about 70 or 80 yuan a night, and the rest is left for food, so he can last another day.
A black business off-road car sped past the road beside him and soon stopped not far away.
Chen Ting was not attentive yet, while recalling the city map he saw yesterday in his mind. He didn't have a mobile phone, so he could only remember important things as much as possible in his mind. Fortunately, he has a good memory. If he carefully reads the things he has seen, he can basically recall seven or eight.
Until he walked past the black Land Rover parked on the roadside, the person in the car called him: "Mr. Shen."
Chen Ting did not stop and had not yet recovered completely, so he turned his head and looked over blankly.
"Get on the bus." Lin Chen said, "I'll take you to the city, and I'll just go back too, just by the way."
Before Chen Ting hesitated for a moment, he got into the car and said, "Thank you."
Lin Chen pulled the corner of his lips slightly and looked down at the laptop on his knee.
He seemed to be dealing with something important. His phone rang from time to time. Chen Ting did not always remain quiet. His eyes avoided his computer screen and looked at the cold street scene outside the window in a daze.
"Yes, Mr. Lian, the documents have been sent to your email address." Lin Chen's gaze flashed lightly from Chen Tingwei's side face, and continued in his voice, "In addition, Mr. Chen has left."
Chen Tingwei was looking at an old woman pushing a cart on the side of the road selling seasonal fruits. When he heard the people around him mention her, he didn't turn around. He stared at the basket of large and plump mulberries on the cart. He thought without any head or tail that spring has arrived.
After April, the weather warmed up very quickly and the sweater quickly became unable to wear it.
Kang Tong came back from school and his little face was red. The aunt helped him take off his turtleneck sweater, found a thinner cardigan to put on him, and urged him to wash his face quickly.
"When Miss Ningxue comes to pick you up later, what kind of children's playground do you want to go to?" The aunt said while helping him prepare the honey water he would bring to go out.
The sound of water in the bathroom stopped quickly. Kang Tong ran out excitedly without even wiping his face and corrected her: "Auntie, it's a trampoline paradise!"
"Yes, trampoline park." The aunt turned her head and saw the water droplets hanging on his face. She smiled helplessly, took a towel to help him wipe his face. "I don't understand these things you kids play with. In the past, I could play with a ticket for five yuan per day in the park, but now the trampoline has to be specially built for a special paradise."
"It's not just a trampoline." Kang Tong counted the items he had seen in his classmates' photos one by one, "There are also ocean balls inside, and very high slides. He had to slide down in a kayak, and there was also someone who jumped off the building..."
"Ah, you still have to jump off the building?" The aunt was stunned, a little worried, "Can that be safe? Can children play?"
"Yes, my classmates and the others have played with it. There is a sponge pad underneath, and it doesn't hurt at all." Kang Tong became more and more guilty as he said, and finally smiled embarrassedly, "Actually, I don't know if it hurts. I haven't been there yet, and they all said it doesn't hurt."
The aunt felt sad and touched his hair lovingly: "Go and play, be careful. You have to drink all the water in the kettle. When you come back, the aunt will check it."
The project that Kang Tong mentioned that "jumps off the building" is called Spider Tower, which is the most popular recreational project in the trampoline park - standing on a platform a few meters high, lying down, with layers of rubber mesh in the middle as a buffer, and finally the entire back landed on the thick sponge pad below. Compared to the slight pain when he was cushioned, the somatosensory stimulation that was on the verge of losing control when he fell was much more attractive to Kang Tong.
Kang Tong played for a few times without getting tired of it, and whispered the guardrail on the platform to Chen Ningxue who was buried in the ocean ball to rest: "Aunt, come here too, this is so fun!"
Chen Ningxue was originally a little afraid of the height of the Spider Tower, but she couldn't resist Kang Tong screaming again and again, so she had to bite the bullet and go on it.
Kang Tong turned his back to the Spider Tower and pulled the guardrail to explain to her: "You just want to do this, and then lie back to the back, and then close your eyes and lie back, it's not scary at all."
When Chen Ningxue came up, she felt that she could resist it. As a result, she stood here and looked at the height below and began to feel scared. She couldn't help but give up: "This is not scary, forget it, I really don't dare to play."
"Auntie, please try it!" Kang Tong was so excited that he couldn't help but want to find someone to share. He moved his position away and walked over and pushed Chen Ningxue's waist to the side of the jumping platform, "It's so fun, come quickly."
The female staff in charge of maintaining the Spider Tower watched them, one big and one small, push me and stayed in a stalemate for a long time, and stood by and smiled for a while.
When they approached, the staff took off a plastic box from the storage rack next to them and said to Chen Ningxue: "Hello lady, please check if there are any sharp items on your body before visiting the high-altitude project. Take off keys and jewelry, etc., be careful of injury and falling items."
Chen Ningxue was so troubled by Kang Tong that she had no choice but to raise her hand to take off her earrings: "Oh, okay, just once."
Kang Tong nodded vigorously, smiling so hard that his eyes were shiny: "I'll wait for you below and reward my aunt with ice cream!"
Chen Ningxue was amused by him: "Hahahaha, okay, then I want to eat vanilla flavor."
Kang Tong ran down the stairs, and Chen Ningxue took off his earrings and watch and put them in the box.
Someone below called out something, and the female staff turned around and talked to the person below. Chen Ningxue took a few deep breaths before plucking up the courage to walk to the side of the jumping platform.
Kang Tong raised his head below and told Chen Ningxue to come down quickly. Chen Ningxue was even more nervous when he urged him, and his voice trembled a little: "Don't urge, this is coming."
After saying that, she let out a sigh, tied her hair up, closed her eyes, and leaned back as Kang Tong had just seen her posture.
When her body just fell, Chen Ningxue's heart was hanging in her throat, but soon her back touched the buffer net, and the psychological burden was relieved. The process of falling was much faster than expected. Chen Ningxue closed her eyes and suddenly noticed that something was pulling her neck hard. Before she could react carefully, her body had fallen into the cushion smoothly.
She crawled out of the net, and the scorching pain on her neck was hard to ignore. She raised her hand and touched it tentatively, and the side of her neck was stinging with her fingertips.
Kang Tong took two vanilla ice creams taller than his face from his brother at the front desk and tiptoed towards the Spider Tower.
As we approached, we saw the young female staff member on the tower kneeling on the cushion and looking for something. Chen Ningxue also lowered her head slightly and searched for something.
"Aunt." Kang Tong handed the ice cream to Chen Ningxue and asked curiously, "What are you looking for?"
"My necklace fell off," said Chen Ningxue.
"Ah?" Kang Tong heard this, he didn't bother to eat and quickly bent down to help find it.
Kang Tong and the others came late. It was already very close to getting off work time. There were not many people in the venue. The boy who was helping Kang Tong make ice cream at the front desk came over and asked them what had happened.
The female staff member failed to find her. She knew that she was distracted from her work and failed to fulfill her duties of care and reminding her. She was so blunt that her eyes turned red. She whispered to the boy: "The customer's necklace has been removed."
Shen Ting did not look at the female customer in front of him. Chen Ningxue was obviously valuable from her clothes to accessories, and the necklace must not be cheap. No wonder she was always happy and afraid.
The little girl who just started working had no spare money, and she might have to pay a few months' salary for a necklace. Shen Tingwei's current situation is even more difficult and he couldn't say anything comforting, so he had to apologize to the female customer on her behalf and then help him find it quickly.
"It is a rose gold necklace, the pendant is in the shape of a four-leaf clover, and there is a circle of broken diamonds around it." Chen Ningxue described it to him.
Shen Ting did not kneel on the mat and searched carefully for a long time. He even touched the splicing seam carefully, but there was still no trace of the necklace.
Chen Ningxue, who was waiting for the side, rang, and she answered the phone and unexpectedly looked at the gate of the venue: "Brother? Have you arrived?"
She patted Kang Tong on the shoulder: "Go and change your shoes, your dad is here to pick us up for dinner."
The necklace cannot be found, and I am always happy like a primary school student who did the wrong thing, with tears hanging in my eyes and seeing that it is about to fall off.
Chen Ningxue felt soft-hearted, but instead comforted her with a soft voice: "It's okay, just a necklace, not a valuable item, it's just a drop."
She didn't say it, but after she said that, she was always happy and tears fell down. Chen Ningxue smiled helplessly: "Why are you crying? It's really okay. It's because I was careless. You're going to get off work, right? No need to look for it, go to have a meal."
She couldn't let Lian Jue stand at the door and wait. She simply comforted the girl, and then led Kang Tong to leave.
I always happily whispered to the point where I was still crawling under the net without calling out.
Probably because he had been bowing his head for a long time, Chen Ting's eyes turned black again before he got up, and his body shook unnaturally, and was quickly supported by Chang Kaixin.
Before she could wipe her tears, she looked at Chen Tingwei's slightly pale face worriedly: "What's wrong with you? I'm dizzy again?"
Chen Ting was not supported by her and stood firmly. He closed his eyes and waited for the brief darkness in front of him to pass. Then he shook his head and patted her arm and urged: "Let's go and leave the customer's contact information. I will search carefully when I clean it later. If I find it, I will return it to others."
Chang Kaixin was reminded by him, and suddenly nodded, hurriedly chasing Chen Ningxue's back.
Lian Jue took Kang Tong's kettle, and his eyes remained on the thin back not far away.
The man squatted down on the bed with his back, looking for something with his head down. The loose black T-shirt on his body stretched to his back as he was half-kneeling, outlining his narrow waist.
Chen Ningxue left the phone to the girl next to her, looked up at Lian Jue's strange expression, looked at him along his gaze, and asked in confusion: "What are you looking at?"
Lian Jue quickly withdrew his gaze and said lightly: "No. What happened just now? Why did it take so long?"
"My aunt's necklace was removed." Kang Tong flattened his mouth slightly, lowered his eyes and blamed himself, "It's all my fault that I insisted that my aunt jumped off the building with me and removed my aunt's necklace."
"What building does it take to jump off the building!" Chen Ningxue smiled and pinched his face, "Let's do this, I'll punish you for choosing another one for my aunt after dinner, and ask your father to compensate me."
