Chapter 22: Escape from the Swamp
When Liu Mei heard this, her eyes widened instantly and her fingertips trembled slightly. Then she lowered her eyes, clasped her hands together, and suppressed the shock brought by her pounding heart.
"When I was registering my household registration, a female police officer couldn't stand it and changed the word '没' to '梅', which means perseverance."
Liu Mei's eyelashes trembled and she wanted to stand up, but Xia Wange pressed her legs and asked her to continue sitting.
"Of course, this girl from a remote mountain village did not disappoint. No matter how her family oppressed her, she did not give up going to school. But after finishing junior high school, the girl encountered difficulties. Her family did not allow her to continue her studies and wanted her to get married. But the girl did not give up. She went on a hunger strike and even tried to cut her face by herself in exchange for the opportunity to continue studying without getting married. Her parents were afraid that she would not be able to sell a good dowry after she became disabled and ugly, and they happened to hear that high school students could make much more money than junior high school students."
"So the girl's parents let her study but did not provide tuition."
"Fortunately, there was a teacher who paid special attention to her at that time. He found out about this and discussed it with the girl. They chose a second-rate high school that didn't require her to pay tuition based on her academic performance. The teacher also funded her living expenses. Throughout high school, her parents regretted many times and wanted to take her home, but with the help of her classmates and teachers, she managed to stay in school and continue her studies."
"During the winter and summer vacations, the girl didn't dare to go home. The teacher took her in. The girl didn't want to eat for free, so she went out to work every day, doing hard labor. The teacher felt sorry for her and knew she was strong, so she arranged for her to tutor elementary and middle school students. The girl divided her salary into three parts: one part to stabilize her parents so that they wouldn't arrest her again, one part to pay back the teacher, and one part as her own living expenses."
"Later, the girl graduated. She knew what her family was like, so she applied to a police officer school and went straight to the army. With her excellent physical fitness, she successfully joined the army. Her parents could only watch her leave. Later, because she yearned for the career of a police officer, she retired from the army and returned to continue her studies. Then she successfully wore the hat. However, in addition to the hat, the girl's favorite thing was the pen, because it was given to her by the teacher who had always encouraged and sponsored her. The teacher hoped that the pen would be useful, so the girl has been using it and using it carefully."
"The girl is a very kind girl. She is determined, able to endure hardships, upright and thoughtful. She will definitely be able to fulfill all her wishes."
At this point, Liu Mei was already in tears. Thinking of her own past, she choked up and said, "Is it really possible to know a girl's past so clearly?"
Xia Wange handed over the paper and said, "Based on the face, life experience, major life nodes, personality, and some solid basic skills, the past is easy to predict, but the future is hard to predict. Do you want to know the girl's future?"
Liu Mei was stunned for a moment and shook her head. "You know it too well. I'm worried... girls will be timid and not decisive enough in the future."
"Okay then." Xia Wan Ge nodded, "Let me talk about the girl's shortcomings."
Liu Mei looked at her.
"Not decisive enough, not ruthless enough." Xia Wange said, "I think that little girl is still a little naive. She wanted to use half of her retirement pay to stop her parents from looking for her, but she didn't know that human greed is limitless."
At this point, Xia Wange stood up and carefully lifted up the suitcase. "Only after breaking away can we stand up again and embrace a new life. If we are indecisive, it will be like being stuck in a swamp for the rest of our lives. We may seem alive, but we are always sinking. That girl has a bright future and can save many people. Since her family of origin is a swamp, we should find a way to escape from it and dry it up."
After saying that, Xia Wange waved his hand and left.
When she reached the door, she scratched her head. She was more than an hour late on her first day at work. Should she find an appropriate excuse?
When the guard saw her from afar, he quickly opened the door for her and enthusiastically asked Xia Wange if she needed help pushing the boxes.
Upstairs, Lu Qiu, who was sitting by the window drinking water, saw the half-person-high box in Xia Wan Ge's room. His brows twitched slightly, and he turned to ask Assistant Xu, "Has Xia Wan Ge applied for a dormitory?"
Special Assistant Xu also looked outside and said in confusion: "No."
Thinking of what he talked about with Xia Wange yesterday, Lu Qiu put down the cup and asked calmly: "Have you dealt with your parents' affairs? Do you need to take another day off to deal with them slowly?"
Special Assistant Xu was stunned and said quickly, "No, no, Mr. Lu, I met a girl yesterday. Her parents were also scammed like my parents and they went to ask for money. We even called the police yesterday. Today, she said she would help me deal with some things. She said that one set of materials was submitted, and two sets of materials were submitted, so she asked me to just send the things to her directly."
"Really?" Lu Qiu smiled, "Then you have to treat her to a good meal."
"Of course, of course." Special Assistant Xu smiled, "I've already thought of what to treat her to. I saw that she often posts about hot pot on her Moments, so I decided to treat her to hot pot."
Lu Qiu's fingertips twisted the cup wall calmly. Special Assistant Xu rarely talked about personal matters in front of him. This time he suddenly talked so much, which showed that the girl was really compatible with him. Although Special Assistant Xu was just expressing his gratitude, the smile that reached his eyes could not be concealed at all.
He lowered his head and took a sip of tea.
Right fate......
Boom boom boom.
There was a knock on the door.
Lu Qiu estimated the time and it should be Xia Wange.
When Special Assistant Xu opened the door, Lu Qiu saw Xia Wange coming in with a large suitcase. Before they could ask, Xia Wange smiled and said, "Boss, I'm here to bring you warmth!"
Lu Qiu and Special Assistant Xu were both stunned.
They looked at each other blankly, and then saw Xia Wange open the big suitcase, revealing a box of white and green stones, no, it should be said that it was jade.
"Boss, this is a Hetian jade cabbage ring. Try it on." Xia Wange put the cabbage ring on Lu Qiu's finger without saying anything. "And a jadeite ring."
"What are these for?"
"I'm borrowing it. No, I'm giving it to you. After you wear it, I'll borrow it from time to time to use."
Lu Qiu: “??? What do you mean?”
"It means literally." Xia Wange said with a smile, "And this jade headband..."
"You want to wear all of them?" Lu Qiu refused. "Forget about this one?"
"Okay, wear it on your wrist, and here's this string of Buddhist beads." Xia Wange asked as she put them on, "Boss, do you feel your legs better today?"
Lu Qiu shook his head. "Same as yesterday."
Xia Wange nodded. It seemed that the purple energy she used on the jade stone could not help Lu Qiu relieve the pain. If she wanted to relieve his leg pain, she would need to use it now.
Xia Wange felt even better when he thought that he could not only store a lot of purple energy immediately, but also have a large mobile purple energy storage.
