Chapter Thirty-Three: Friendship
Zhang Li was sitting in the office tapping the table with her hands. She was anxiously waiting for the result of the communication between the company and the prison. Her mood at this time was very contradictory. She hoped that cooperation could be achieved, but also did not want it to be achieved.
If she achieves this, she will have the opportunity to get close to Teng Ying, but this also means that she will sink deeper and deeper, and the possibility of turning back will become smaller and smaller.
At this moment, Secretary Shiyao knocked on the door and entered the room, saying with a happy face: "Mr. Zhang, the prison has agreed and is very supportive of our idea."
Zhang Li said excitedly: "Really?"
"Yes." Then he said: "The general manager in charge of personnel is preparing to discuss the specific implementation plan with the prison in detail."
Zhang Li frowned slightly after hearing this. She really didn't need to come forward in this matter, but if so, she would have no chance to get close to Teng Ying. She hesitated for a moment and said, "I'll talk about it in person."
"Mr. Zhang, no need." Secretary Shiyao said.
"It's necessary. This is not a trivial matter after all." He then said, "Go and communicate with the prison, and we'll find a place to discuss in detail."
"OK."
After a while, Shiyao came back and said: "Mr. Zhang, the prison wants us to go to them to talk, saying that this way we can see the appearance of the place more intuitively."
In fact, this is the answer Zhang Li hopes to get, but the women's prison is too unfamiliar to her. In her imagination, sunlight can never shine inside the high wall and electric grid of the prison, and the prisoners behind the bars are all difficult to discipline.
For prisoners, everything in prison is eerie.
Thinking of this, Zhang Li shivered unconsciously, and Shiyao asked, "What's wrong with you?"
Zhang Li said: "Ah, it's okay. You can set a time with them."
"Okay, Mr. Zhang."
Shi Yao said before going out: "By the way, you come with me."
Shiyao frowned slightly after hearing this. Obviously she didn't want to get involved in that place and was thinking about how to ask for leave. But Zhang Li spoke up first, and she agreed awkwardly, "Okay."
Zhang Li nodded slightly and said, "I'm not much older than you, so you can just call me sister from now on."
Shiyao was a little flattered and agreed: "Yes, I understand."
After Shi Yao left, Zhang Li sighed. She was not stupid and fully understood her situation. Now it was no longer a matter of being in a high position. She had offended almost everyone in the company, although this was not her intention.
, but at least you need to cultivate someone who can talk to you.
women's prison
Someone left the prison today. This is the third person to leave the prison this month. She is about to go to the 4th Ward to make final preparations for her release from prison and her return to society.
The people who slept with her all said goodbye and sent blessings, but in their eyes, more than reluctance, there was still envy, yearning and expectation for freedom.
Teng Ying watched the man's disappearing figure through the window until he disappeared. At this time, something strange happened deep in her heart. What was it?
Although Teng Ying and Liu Yuan are not in confrontation these days, they are not cooperating. After all, the hurdles cannot be passed as promised. Liu Yuan is naturally not in a hurry. As long as Teng Ying's condition gets better day by day, that will be enough for her.
In addition to Lu Qianqian, Liu Qing was also transferred to the new prison building.
Teng Ying actually has no hostility towards Liu Qing, just because she has been in self-blame for a long time. Teng Ying understands in her heart that the problem is not that Liu Qing is required by the mission. From a certain level, she is also a victim.
They are also chess pieces.
Therefore, Teng Ying sympathized more with him, and the relationship between them was greatly eased.
During the weekend break in the prison area, Liu Qing took off her change of clothes, revealing an ugly scar on her collarbone. I was afraid Liu Qing had to say goodbye to tube top skirts forever.
Not only Liu Qing, but Teng Ying herself was also frightened by this scar. She walked over and touched it gently with her hand, "I'm sorry."
Liu Qing put on her clothes and said nonchalantly, "I am solely responsible for this. You were just doing routine business."
Teng Ying shook her head helplessly, and Liu Qing sat next to Teng Ying, "I heard that you blamed yourself for me for a long time."
Teng Ying shook her head helplessly again, "Do you feel particularly comfortable now?"
"Well, that's true." Liu Qing replied.
Teng Ying sighed, and Liu Qing continued: "However, it's not because of you, but because of myself."
"Because of yourself?" Teng Ying asked.
"Well, because I can live, Brother Da Fei, oh no, Officer Tao, gave me a second life. I want to cherish it and truly be a human being for once."
"He is using you." Teng Ying said.
"I don't think so. He is saving me, whether it's my life or my soul."
"Is death so scary to you?"
"That's because you never died."
After hearing this, Teng Ying became a little excited and said: "I have never died. I have faced death calmly countless times." As she said that, Teng Ying's face darkened, "Until the last time, I lost everything."
Liu Qing sat next to Teng Ying and gently held Teng Ying's hand, "Then you should cherish yourself even more. I think those who have sacrificed their lives for you will not be able to rest in peace when they see you like this.
."
Hearing this, Teng Ying fell silent and sighed in her heart, yes, Yu Qiang still chose justice at the last moment, but she fell into the abyss. What on earth was the reason that made her so unsightly?
But Yuqiang said that when a person dies, the symbolic star will fall, but she can still see the bright star guarding her every night.
Is he really dead?
Teng Ying sighed and changed the subject: "How do you know kung fu?"
"I have learned self-defense skills. I was harassed when I was a child. My family situation is not good and my parents are very honest. If someone has the power to scare me, my parents will be afraid, and in the end I can only swallow it. From then on, I knew that I must
You only have to rely on yourself to protect yourself, and then I worked hard to learn self-defense skills." After saying that, she smiled awkwardly and said, "But there is still a little gap compared to you."
Teng Ying was curious about Liu Qing's life experience and asked, "Tell me about yourself."
"That year I went to work in a KTV in this city. Of course I had principles. I just served tea and water and did some very clean work. Although it was a bit hard and tiring, the salary was pretty decent. I also got a boyfriend.
That man was very honest and very approachable to me." After that, a happy smile appeared on her face, "He came to see me a few days ago and said he would wait for me!"
"Isn't this great? You and Wang Xi are completely different people, how can you get together."
Liu Qing paused for a while, her eyes darkened, and she said in a deep voice: "Until one day, the man who left a shadow on me appeared in my life again. At that time, he was already over fifty and was developing better.
She singled me out specifically, and of course I didn’t agree, but my boss threatened to fire me if I didn’t go. I had no choice but to make a living because it was really hard for me to find a job with a higher salary than this.”
"It was fine at first, but gradually he drank too much and became dishonest. I resisted, but to no avail. Then he got angry and beat me."
"Don't you know how to defend yourself?"
Liu Qing smiled bitterly and said, "What's the use? Just a bodyguard can subdue me."
"But I still broke away and ran to the corridor. I cried, struggled, and called for help, but my colleagues looked on indifferently and allowed the man to beat me mercilessly."
"Is Wang Xi coming now?"
"Well, yes, I remember very clearly when Tao Fei kicked the man to the ground. When the man saw Wang Xi, he was so frightened that he peed. He begged for mercy again and again, and then threw 10,000 yuan at me and pissed himself.
Ran."
"At that time, I realized that if you are not strong enough, all your efforts will be in vain. After that day, I looked for every opportunity to get close to Wang Xi. I catered to him without dignity. I gave up everything, and my fall was as fierce as the flood.
It got out of hand, until one day I looked at myself in the mirror and realized that I no longer recognized the person in front of me."
"What did you end up with?"
Liu Qing smiled bitterly, "I gained nothing, only regrets. If it weren't for Officer Tao, I would have lost my life, but I understand a truth. What can really protect yourself is to keep yourself clean, to be content and happy, to live in peace and order.
What matters is the law!”
Teng Ying continued to ask: "You are very smart, didn't you realize that Tao Fei was an undercover agent?"
"I didn't know it at first, but by chance I met He Chaoran's wife and children. That's when I knew that the undercover agent was Tao Fei."
"Why don't you report him?"
"That will increase my sins, and then I really won't be able to turn back."
Teng Ying asked back: "Then why do you still want to kill people?"
"It was temptation and greed. Wang Xi promised me that she would divorce her first wife when things were done. But who knew that this was a scam. The moment I agreed, Wang Xi had already had murderous intentions."
"Why doesn't Tao Fei know?"
"Because I knew he was an undercover agent and avoided him. Wang Xi was also suspicious, so of course he didn't completely believe Tao Fei. If he hadn't discovered me in the storage room that day and alerted me, we would have succeeded."
Liu Qing continued: "I feel sorry for him, but he still saved me. What he said to me in the end is still fresh in my memory."
"What words?"
"He told me that he hoped that my new life would be on the side of justice."
"You turned yourself in later?"
"kindness."
"Do you regret it?"
"I don't regret it! He didn't hesitate to reveal his identity to save me. This trust alone is enough." Liu Qing answered without hesitation.
Teng Ying sighed, "But he is using you."
"Who doesn't use each other? It's just a matter of whether the use is for greater good or for petty reasons."
"Why do you choose to tolerate me when I treat you like this?" Teng Ying asked.
Liu Qing said: "Because I understand you and I understand your pain."
Teng Ying was moved. She didn't expect Liu Qing to be able to talk to her so openly and sincerely, and said, "Thank you."
Liu Qing joked: "Why are you thanking me? Actually, I just want to be close to the water and terrace. I'll go through the back door first and walk around my beard first."
Teng Ying said: "What do you mean?"
"Gold will shine everywhere. You will definitely be prosperous after you go out. When I come to find you, don't say you don't know me."
Teng Ying smiled, "You are so thoughtful! I will never forget you when the time comes."
Liu Qing smiled, stretched out her hand and said, "It's a deal."
