Chew Slowly Chapter 50

Chapter 50 Chapter 50

===========================

Chen Zongqian’s mobile phone received many calls from law firms, all urging him to go back to work. After all, people can’t take time off all the time.Although Xu Qiaochuan’s condition has improved recently, Chen Zongqian is not at ease if he is left alone at home.It’s a pity that Xu Qiaochuan can’t be turned into a small pendant. It can’t be pinned to the waist and carried in the arms to work.

He had a good relationship with the psychiatrist, but the other party refused by saying that “a hospital is not a care center” and Xu Qiaochuan could not be placed there.

When Chen Zongqian was feeding the cat, he casually mentioned: “Do you want to go to school?”

According to the date on “Xu Qiaochuan’s” ID card, he had just reached adulthood. Chen Zongqian knew in his mind that he was also a student at this age.

Xu Qiaochuan watched the marshal eat quietly. He was very silent and didn’t know what he was thinking.

“If you want to learn that stuff, it’s better to sign up for a class and have a teacher teach you.” Chen Zongqian didn’t know much about the algorithms and data he made, nor did he understand the model drawn by Xu Qiaochuan.This thing is not easy to learn. Xu Qiaochuan sometimes struggled for a long time to no avail. He would easily get sick if he went to extremes, which made Chen Zongqian sad.

“Well…” Xu Qiaochuan had no expression, but he was obviously dealing with it casually.

It would be a little difficult to communicate with him at this time, but Chen Zongqian was very patient when it came to Xu Qiaochuan.

He pinched Xu Qiaochuan’s earlobe. This touch finally made people look at him, and he stared at Chen Zongqian without moving.Chen Zongqian kissed her as usual, and Xu Qiaochuan subconsciously reached out and took it, widening his eyes slightly before he regained consciousness.

“Xiaoqiao?” Chen Zongqian repeated without much expectation.

As expected, Xu Qiaochuan did not agree. He lowered his eyes and saw that his hand was being held behind his back. The grip was a little tight and he could not break free.The marshal ran over from the small pottery basin and licked Xu Qiaochuan’s other hand.The perception suddenly became clear and distinct, the feeling of a cat, the feeling of Chen Zongqian, these were all around him.

“No, I don’t have to go to school now.” He breathed a sigh of relief and didn’t care that he was smelling the smell of canned cats.

Knowing that he didn’t like that home and had very bad memories in the hospital and school, Chen Zongqian quickly changed the subject: “It’s okay not to go to school. You don’t like crowded places.”

“I signed up for online classes.” Xu Qiaochuan thought about it seriously. Even the marshal would have moments when he was not clingy. He couldn’t always be by Chen Zongqian’s side. “I will find a job.”

Xu Qiaochuan’s job at Xin’an Hardware was long gone. One of the reasons was that he was mentally ill and could not continue to stay in the workshop. The other reason was that Chen Zongqian only found out later that Xu Qiaochuan had caused some trouble in the factory during that time.

He has a dull temper and doesn’t like to talk much. Some people are willing to take care of him as a junior, but some are not.The boss felt that he was just a bastard who took three days off after working one day. He couldn’t squeeze out more value, so he gave up easily.

Xin’an Hardware signed a contract with the school, and the contract with Xu Qiaochuan was signed not long ago. It doesn’t look good to let him go now.Those who run factories and do business are very thoughtful. Students who have just arrived in the society do not understand the twists and turns in the contract. Xu Qiaochuan is silent and withdrawn in the factory, as if he does not say anything even if he suffers a loss.

The explanation given by the factory was that Xu Qiaochuan could not continue his job and resigned on his own initiative.If it is Xu Qiaochuan who breaks the contract, he will not only not get his due salary, but also pay a liquidated damages.

The chatter on the phone was endless, but Xu Qiaochuan outside the phone didn’t hear much.Chen Zongqian happened to be beside him at the time. The more he listened, the more he felt something was wrong, so he took the initiative to ask for his cell phone so that he could talk to the other party instead.

The other party’s tone was very urgent, no wonder Xu Qiaochuan couldn’t listen.Chen Zongqian has a bright mind and a meticulous mind, and all those clichés have no effect on him.First, he said that the phone call was recorded, and then asked someone to speak more slowly.The voice over there paused and suddenly stopped talking. Chen Zongqian was not embarrassed. Telephone communication was useless, so he took the initiative to make an appointment for offline negotiation. He took his lawyer’s certificate and went to Xin’an Hardware with Xu Qiaochuan.

The matter was resolved, but it was different from what Chen Zongqian thought.He remembered that there was a person named Zhou Cheng who was particularly targeting Xu Qiaochuan and causing trouble. Xu Qiaochuan, who had been silent all the time, exposed Zhou Cheng’s profiteering.

Zhou Cheng is the workshop director and brings a group of student workers into the factory every year. Xu Qiaochuan is also here this year.Mold processing is a delicate job, and the slightest error will be considered as scrapped workpieces. Apprentices who have just entered the factory are no better than masters, and the consumables are very large.Different from schools, factories pursue profits and will not provide materials for people to practice. Any losses or scraps will be deducted from wages.

By chance, Xu Qiaochuan peeked into Zhou Cheng’s notebook and saw that during his internship, the number of consumables recorded on the notebook was extremely high, even exceeding the assigned workload.During that time, Xu Qiaochuan took leave because of Lu Xiaoyun’s funeral, and his work was distributed to other apprentices in the same period.

Because of this Xu Qiaochuan found clues.Zhou Cheng excused himself by working overtime to catch up on work, but people are alive, unlike machines that can work around the clock. Without one person, the original task was very difficult, but Zhou Cheng was greedy and remembered a big number.

Xu Qiaochuan is very sensitive to numbers and images.He carefully read the reports published by the factory and used an algorithm to create a model to represent the numbers in Zhou Cheng’s notebook and the numbers on the reports. The results were very different.The calculated difference fluctuation curve almost coincides with the material loss curve.

These data and models cannot directly prove how greedy Zhou Cheng is. After all, Zhou Cheng alone can never steal such a large amount of materials every month.These are just conjectures. Xu Qiaochuan worked in two shifts as usual, as if they had nothing to do with him.

Until Zhou Cheng came to him, it was not enough for him to beat the person up, and he made a few words as a threat.Later, Zhou Cheng intensified his efforts and used wrong drawings, causing Xu Qiaochuan to suffer a big loss.

Just like he did to the apprentice who made a mistake, Zhou Cheng kindly appeared in front of Xu Qiaochuan and said that he could help with such a huge loss.Xu Qiaochuan didn’t have much face, and Zhou Cheng, who became angry, scolded him for a long time.Xu Qiaochuan paid close attention and recorded everything he said with his mobile phone.

Xu Qiaochuan didn’t care how he found out later that it was Xin’an Hardware. To this day, he still couldn’t remember Zhou Cheng’s face. He only remembered that Zhou Cheng’s eyes were uncomfortable, like gloves soaked in cutting fluid or shoes embedded with iron filings.

Xu Qiaochuan didn’t want to say this in front of Chen Zongqian. This gloomy, dirty, and fussy self didn’t fit well with Chen Zongqian.But he also knew very well that as long as Chen Zongqian was around, Xin’an Hardware would cause embarrassment and make it difficult to deal with.

This is the third time he has used Chen Zongqian.The first time, I used this person to get rid of the campus dispute completely, and got a lot of compensation. It also made the school not to look down on him, and it was much more cautious when signing the contract with the factory.

The second time was to get rid of Xu Jian.His cognition was confused and his pain was always distorted and blurred.He often felt that someone fell to death that night, but it wasn’t him, it was Xu Jian.

Broken bones, shed some blood, these are nothing, and Xu Jian will disappear completely from his world from now on.When he faces Chen Zongqian, these memories will become clearer.That person looked at him like the docile and well-behaved Chen Xingran, so he was not stingy in his gentleness.Xu Qiaochuan speculated on the gap between them, and the more he thought about it, the faster his heart beat.

I used to be very resistant to this. I was opposed to the fact that Chen Zongqian saw Chen Xingran in his eyes, not him.But then it didn’t matter anymore. After all, the dead only existed in dreams. He was the one who was really beside Chen Zongqian.

He now clearly knows that Chen Zongqian’s understanding of Chen Xingran in the future will no longer be Chen Xingran, but himself.
