His fall was not light, and the weight of an adult fell heavily on the solid concrete floor to make that dull and powerful sound.

What's more funny is that when he fell to the ground, he subconsciously blocked it with the blackboard eraser in his hand. As a result, his fat face was hit hard by the blackboard eraser, and half of his face was covered with chalk dust. , this look is a bit funny.

Lu Menglin wanted to hold back his smile, but he really thought it was funny.

Old Freak Liu, who was a nightmare in his youth, turned out to be just a hypocritical paper tiger, vulnerable to a single blow, and could be broken with a single poke.

This kind of unethical teacher can only bully these naive students who dare not resist. If it is changed to being in front of adults, they probably would not even dare to fart.

Old Freak Liu finally stood up cursing, and stared at Lu Menglin fiercely with his small soybean eyes.

Because even he himself didn't dare to be completely sure whether it was an accident just now, or was it deliberately done by this kid.

But no matter what, if I suffer a disadvantage, I will definitely not make this kid feel better!

Old Freak Liu made a decision in an instant. He wanted to use this incident as an excuse to expel Lu Menglin in order to maintain his absolute authority in the class.

But at this moment, Lu Menglin spoke first.

Chapter 5 Fate

"Ms. Liu, I would like to ask for leave from English class this Friday afternoon. My dad wants to take me to Director Wang's house to talk about something."

"Ask for leave? Do you still want to..." Mr. Liu was stunned for a moment, his thoughts were a little confused, and he didn't quite understand the meaning of this sentence.

"Which Director Wang are you talking about?" Old Freak Liu suddenly came to his senses, and asked with surprise on his face.

"Director Wang of the Municipal Education Commission! His name seems to be Wang Qinian." Lu Menglin smiled.

Old Freak Liu gasped suddenly, director Wang Qinian of the municipal education committee, the director Wang who was in charge of teaching staff and assessing professional titles.The other party has the direct right to decide his career.

"Your family knows Director Wang?" Old Freak Liu asked suspiciously.

Lu Menglin nodded, and replied sincerely: "I probably don't know him, but my father's good friend, Director Zhao, knows him. It was Uncle Zhao who said he would take us there."

"Director Zhao? Is it Director Zhao from the Second Factory?" Old Freak Liu's heart skipped a beat again, and he immediately believed it [-]% of the time.

Liufang Group is divided into five major factories. Zhao Yuanchao, the factory director of the second factory, is definitely a ruthless character with all-hands and eyes. He became the factory director at a young age. I heard that he is a powerful figure with background in the province.

"That's right! Uncle Zhao and my dad are fellow villagers and have known each other for many years." Lu Menglin replied frankly.

"Oh! So that's the case! You kid, you didn't tell me about the family relationship! The teacher will take good care of you in the future. If you have anything to do, just tell the teacher!" Mr. Liu went uncharacteristically and tried his best on that piece of paper. With a smile on his fat face, he resentfully said.

"No need! I won't tell my family what happened this time, please be more self-respecting in the future." Lu Menglin ordered lightly.

"Okay, okay!" Old Freak Liu smiled and nodded repeatedly, but he was really taken aback in his heart, thinking that when he was facing this kid, how could he feel like he was facing his immediate boss? What a ghost!

Anyway, don't provoke this kid again in the future. If what he said is true, if you have a chance to sue yourself with Director Wang of the Education Committee, you will lose your job!

Lu Menglin didn't continue to pay attention to Old Freak Liu, but walked into the classroom.

At this time, dozens of pairs of eyes in the classroom looked over at the same time.

Lu Menglin was calm and relaxed, and his face was calm and clear, without the slightest frustration of being beaten.

However, when Old Freak Liu came in, everyone was stunned and dumbfounded.

Old Freak Liu was dirty, and there was still a white mark left by a blackboard eraser on his left cheek, obviously as if he had been beaten, but he still smiled awkwardly: "Teacher accidentally fell down just now, thank you Classmate Lu Menglin helped me in time. The teacher expressed his gratitude to Classmate Lu, and now I am going to the infirmary to see a doctor, so you can study by yourself!"

The whole class was in an uproar.

This explanation, which is obviously nonsense, made the students want to petrify all the students, wondering what happened in the corridor just now?

Why Lu Menglin not only didn't get beaten, but seemed to subdue old monster Liu, this style of painting is too weird!

Old Freak Liu left the classroom in a hurry, and the eyes of the students once again focused on Lu Menglin without exception.

But at this moment, Lu Menglin was thinking about another more important thing.

The memory that has been dusty for many years seems to be stimulated by a special point, and it suddenly becomes vivid and vivid.

Just now Lu Menglin casually said that Director Zhao would take the Lu family and his son to find Director Wang.

It's a pity that Lu Menglin was ignorant back then. Although he was in the middle of the game, he didn't know what happened at all.

At that time, it was the factory manager Zhao who had all eyes and hands, who took the Lu family and his son to the home of director Wang of the education committee, and used the excuse of helping Lu Menglin go to college to trick his father into signing a letter of responsibility for him.

Later, it was because of the existence of the letter of responsibility that my father couldn't argue with it, and he was laid off with a stigma. The Lu family, which was originally a middle-level cadre family in the factory, also plummeted from then on.

In order to get back his breath, his father decided to go into business. He spent his small savings and borrowed hundreds of thousands of dollars, but he lost all his money. The huge debt pressure made Lu Menglin's family unable to pay for it in front of relatives and friends for a long time. beginning.

If it weren't for these debts, with Lu Menglin's hard work and ability to work, he wouldn't have to wait until he was in his 30s to make up the down payment for buying a house.

So the source of all this can be traced back to that damn responsibility letter.

Lu Menglin was thinking about how to get his stubborn father not to sign the letter of responsibility, but the long-lost bell for the end of get out of class came to his ears.

"Brother Menglin, let's go! It's early after school today, are you going to play the arcade? I invite you!" Lu Menglin's good friend Wang Shaoxiao was speaking beside him.

Wang Shaoxiao is a dark-skinned chubby guy, with an unattractive appearance, a bit of a sloppy walk, and a bit of a wretched appearance. He is not likable in class, and he only has a good relationship with Lu Menglin.

Fatty's grades are so bad that they can't be saved, plus he is timid and is often teased by others, but his family conditions are not bad, his parents are powerful cadres in the factory, and they send gifts to his house every festival There was an endless stream of people, so this kid had a very rich head and hands, and he was always clamoring for treats.

Lu Menglin came back to his senses and looked straight at the little fat man in front of him, his nose suddenly felt sour.

When Lu Menglin was a boy, he never thought that Wang Shaoxiao was his best friend, because the appearance and behavior of this little fat man were too wretched, like a villain, but it was not until the day he lost him that he realized that Wang Shaoxiao was actually the real one. An honest boy who doesn't buckle.

It should be in the second semester of the second year of high school, Wang Shaoxiao's father died in a car accident, and his mother's mental state collapsed all of a sudden.Wang Shaoxiao, who lost his family support, did not go to university, but was directly arranged to work in a factory.

Since the end of the 90s, the state-owned enterprises have been in decline, especially the cotton spinning enterprises, which have been going downhill, and their profits have plummeted. Not only can they not pay wages, but they are also facing the crisis of being laid off.

Wang Shaoxiao couldn't get along in the factory anymore. He could only go to work during the day, set up street stalls and solicit customers on tricycles at night. His life was extremely poor.

At that time, Lu Menglin and a group of classmates had just graduated and started working. When they heard that Wang Shaoxiao often borrowed money from classmates, everyone just took it as a joke and didn't take it seriously.

However, every time he hears that Lu Menglin is returning to his hometown, Wang Shaoxiao will definitely come to accompany him, and like when he was a child, he likes to pat his chest and clamor for treats.

Everyone also knew that his income was meager, so naturally he would not ask him to pay for dinner, at most, he would only be asked to buy a few bottles of water, and when parting, Lu Menglin would usually buy two packs of cigarettes and throw them to him.

It's just that they didn't expect that Wang Shaoxiao would be the first among this group of students to pass away.

Perhaps it was because of the hardships of life, overwork, or depression, Wang Shaoxiao never woke up after getting drunk once.

All his life, he was as light as a feather, living a marginalized life, as small as if he had never lived.Except for Lu Menglin and a few classmates who had a good relationship, he didn't leave a deep impression on others at all.

However, Wang Shaoxiao's untimely death had a great impact on Lu Menglin at that time, and his fate was ill-fated, leaving only deep regret.
