Chapter 34 Redemption
"Let's toast together to welcome the arrival of Deputy Director Raymond!"

Carlos picked up the red wine glass, smiling all over his face, and his voice was hearty and enthusiastic.

Hey~
Everyone toasted and said in unison: "Welcome Deputy Director Lei Meng."

Raymond filled the glass with wine, raised it up, and said concisely: "Thank you everyone."

After speaking, he drank it all in one gulp.

His speaking style is consistent with his work style, he is vigorous and resolute, and he doesn't speak too many stereotypes.

In the special training class, Su Mo liked the style of Instructor Raymond very much, because Instructor Raymond reminded him of the former high school principal.

Back then, at the opening ceremony, the headmaster’s “I’ll just say a few words” went on for a full hour.

Since then, "Let me say a few simple sentences" has become the most feared sentence of the students.

Lei Meng's simple reply attracted the surprise of many people. They did not expect that the new deputy director would have such a style. For them, who had seen many leaders, they were indeed surprised.

After a common toast, the dinner officially began.

Interestingly, Carlos was surrounded by people, while Raymond was surrounded by only Su Mo, Lu Fan, and Jamie. The rest of the executive officers were all huddled in their seats, watching from a distance but not daring to approach.

There is no way, anyone with a brain knows that, next, Deputy Director Raymond and Director Carlos must have an incompatible relationship. Even if Raymond has three of his students by his side, and each of them is outstanding The strength is extraordinary, but after all, Director Carlos has been in the shelter for more than ten years, so how can a few outsiders be able to challenge him?
5 minutes, 10 minutes, 15 minutes...

For half an hour, no one dared to toast with Raymond privately.

This situation made the atmosphere of the banquet extremely strange. Seeing this scene, the corners of Carlos' mouth couldn't help but curl up slightly.

……

creak~
Clenching and loosening his palms, Fang Hao struggled with his eyes, finally gritted his teeth, grabbed the wine glass in his palm, intending to get up.

"Old Fang!"

At this moment, a hand next to Fang Hao tightly grasped Fang Hao's arm.

Li Wucheng looked at Fang Hao, shook his head, and said in a low voice:
"do not go."

"Old Li!" Fang Hao took a deep breath and said with firm eyes:

"I don't want to be just a coward for the rest of my life."

Li Wucheng opened his mouth, and the words he wanted to persuade immediately stuck in his throat, making it difficult to say.

He knew what Fang Hao was talking about about cowards.

Seven years ago, not long after Fang Hao joined Shelter 11, one night, he encountered an event that changed the trajectory of his life.

At that time, Fang Hao heard a woman calling for help, and when he rushed there, he found a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl being violated by several people, so he quickly yelled at her to stop it, and revealed his identity as an executive officer.

However, the leader threw out a sentence - "I am Sally's younger brother Josie, if you don't want to cause trouble, get out."

After speaking, Josie forced the girl to leave.

Although the girl was still desperately calling for help, Fang Hao at that time seemed to be frozen, watching several people leave.

Sally, the deputy director, is an existence that a newcomer cannot provoke.

In this world, surviving is already very difficult, so being violated shouldn't be a big deal, right?

Fang Hao comforted himself.

But on the second day, Fang Hao received bad news. The girl who was dragged away by Josie, because she was unwilling to be humiliated, cut her wrist and committed suicide at home. She was only 14 years old.

After hearing the news, Fang Hao collapsed instantly. He locked himself in the room without eating or drinking, and he didn't come out until three days later.

It's just that Fang Hao who came out has completely changed. He has become smooth, accidental, and sensual. He hangs around romantic occasions and can get along with everyone.

However, only Li Wucheng, who is a good friend, knows that that incident has become a permanent thorn in Fang Hao's heart. Whenever he thinks about it, Fang Hao will suffer from insomnia all night.

Li Wucheng remembered that on the first night of Su Mo's arrival, after the deputy director Sally was defeated by Su Mo with a punch, Fang Hao was drunk at home and cried loudly.

"Lao Li, do you know that I dreamed of that girl again a few days ago. In the dream, she asked me with a face full of despair, aren't you an executive? Why didn't you save people? Why did you stand by?"

"In the same situation, Lu Fan made a move, Su Mo made a move, and I, I am a coward, I am a coward!"

"Old Li, I regret it. I really regret it. If I had half the courage of Lu Fan and Su Mo, that girl would not have died. Maybe she is married now!"

"I'm sorry, I'm really sorry!!!"

That night, Fang Hao drank himself drunk, although the next day, he became the same as usual, but only Li Wucheng knew that Fang Hao's heart had changed.

"Old Li!" Fang Hao's eyes were red and his voice was a little choked up: "I really, really don't want to be a coward anymore."

Li Wucheng took a deep breath, slowly let go of his hand, and then got up, a smile suddenly appeared on his face:
"Let's go, old Fang, I will go with you to redeem myself."

As the executive officer of No. 11 Shelter, who hasn't encountered darkness?
It's just that some people choose to smash the darkness with light, while others can only blend into the darkness.

He is the pitiful, pathetic and hateful person who blends into the darkness and constantly excuses himself~
"Old Li!"

Fang Hao didn't expect that Li Wucheng would make the same choice as himself. However, when he saw the complex and firm look in his friend's eyes, he instantly understood.

"Let's go~"

Under everyone's surprised, shocked, and puzzled gaze, Fang Hao and Li Wucheng came to Lei Meng side by side.

"Deputy Director Raymond, we both offer you a toast."

Fang Hao's voice was a little trembling, but what surprised him was that at this moment, he felt a sense of relief that he had never felt before, as if a heavy burden had been lifted, and dozens of gazes like blades were staring at him in this moment. A moment doesn't matter at all.

"And me, the deputy director." Li Wucheng said seriously.

Raymond looked at the two of them, and a smile gradually appeared on his stern face: "Tell me, your names."

"Fang Hao!"

"Li Wucheng!"

"Fang Hao, Li Wucheng." Lei Meng raised his glass, touched the glasses of the two, and said sincerely: "I, remember you."

Lei Meng knew very well how much pressure Fang Hao and Li Wucheng had to bear to stand up in this situation.

The two chose him, and he will not disappoint the trust of the two.

Su Mo looked at Fang Hao and Li Wucheng in front of him, with a smile on his lips.

Although there are not many people, at least this is a good start~
"Director."

Li Hu moved closer to Carlos and winked in Raymond's direction.

Carlos glanced sideways, his face was normal, but there was a little more coldness in his eyes.

"Fang Hao, Li Wucheng, hum!"
