Chapter 8 Liver Cancer
"Uncle Zhao, I'm here to go to work."

After school, Li Sheng parked the folding bicycle in the alley and walked into the dessert shop.

The store was empty, and the glass cases that were supposed to be full of food were empty.

"boss?"

He walked into the kitchen and saw Uncle Zhao sitting alone in the corner, his face was haggard, his eyes were blank, as if he had suddenly aged ten years, "Uncle Zhao, what's wrong with you?"

Seeing him appear, Uncle Zhao managed to cheer up and said, "Xiao Li, this store may not be able to open anymore."

Li Sheng looked stunned, "Ah? Why?"

"The old city is being renovated. The landlord wants to sell this store and urges me to move the store." Uncle Zhao said in a daze: "Your aunt suddenly fainted on the bus today. The hospital found out that she had liver cancer."

"."

Li Sheng was silent. Uncle Zhao's family came from out of town and struggled for many years in Yin City before they bought this store. Just when their lives had improved, they suddenly heard the bad news.

He spoke slowly, his voice hoarse, "Where is Nannan?"

Nannan is the daughter of Uncle Zhao's family. She has just entered elementary school and is very cute. Li Sheng usually works part-time and teaches her homework in his spare time.

"I'm watching TV upstairs. I don't know how to tell her. I don't dare to tell her. I have to take her to the hospital to see her mother later."

Uncle Zhao held his forehead, his face disappeared into the darkness, and his voice was almost sobbing, "Your severance compensation is placed in the drawer on the counter outside. From now on, take care of yourself."

"No need to compensate, I have other options." Li Sheng shook his head vigorously, paused and said, "Which hospital is she staying in?"

"Deming Hospital, if you are not busy, you can come and see her. Don't worry too much about us. If the landlord breaks the contract, he will have to pay three months' rent as liquidated damages. With the previous savings, we can still hold on."

Uncle Zhao forced a smile, raised his head and shouted: "Nanny! Brother Sheng is leaving, you see him off!"

The sound of kicking footsteps came from upstairs. Zhao Nannan, who was wearing braids, holding a corn cob in her hand, and corn kernels at the corner of her mouth, ran downstairs, hugged Li Sheng's thigh, raised her head and blinked at the watery With big eyes, "Brother Sheng, you must come to see me in the future."

"Well, definitely."

Li Sheng looked at the innocent and lovely Zhao Nannan, touched her hair with complicated emotions, and said goodbye to Uncle Zhao's family.

Returning to the dark alley again, the boy stepped on the bicycle pedal and looked at the messy wires above his head with mixed feelings.

The world is not fair, or rather, the world has never been fair.

Gollum-

There was a noise in his stomach. Li Sheng patted his belly and sighed softly: "Okay, I'll find you something to eat."

He rode to a street supermarket and picked out products near the expiration date - the price of food that is about to expire can be much cheaper.

"Imported chocolate has 2516 kilojoules of energy per 2810 grams, lard residue has 916 kilojoules of energy per 1836 grams, a g bag of potato chips has kilojoules of energy, and Weilong Sword Pork has kilojoules of energy per grams."

Li Sheng twirled his fingers to quickly calculate the ratio of energy per serving to product price, and only picked cheap snacks that were large in size and had excessive calories.

After buying two large bags, I left the store and sat in the corner of the park eating alone.

The state of [gene hunger] requires him to consume a large amount of calories every day, and the nutrition must be balanced, not pure sugar or fat.

The most economical way is to eat in the canteen - Zhuoyue Middle School mainly makes money from high tuition fees and social donations, so there is no need to deduct three melons and two dates from students' food and drink. As a result, the canteen is quite affordable and the food is delicious.

The problem is that there is surveillance in the cafeteria, so it is impossible for one person to eat enough for ten people.

And even food in stores that is nearing its expiration date costs money. Now that I no longer have a job in a dessert shop, I can't sit back and rest in vain. I must find other ways to make money.

Li Sheng thought for a while, took out his phone, clicked on the WeChat contact, and found Cui Yi.

Cui Yi was a playmate who used to live in the same community and was a few years older than him.

His family atmosphere was even worse than that of Li Sheng - Cui Yi's parents had divorced long ago, and neither party wanted to care about him, which led him to drop out of high school before finishing high school and make a living on his own in society.

He has distributed flyers, delivered takeaways, worked on construction sites, repaired cars, and worked in sales. He has done all kinds of jobs. After that, he became a talent agency and mingled among the Yin City community.

The so-called talent agency actually recruits short-term workers. For example, if a newly opened milk tea shop wants to create a crowded feeling, it will find a group of people lining up at the door. The same goes for the sales department.

"Hello? Brother Cui, it's me Li Sheng."

"Oh Xiao Sheng, what's the matter?" Cui Yi's side was noisy and busy.

"Do you have any part-time work that you can recommend to me?" Li Sheng asked a little embarrassed.

"Ha, you should ask the right person about this."

Cui Yi smiled and said, "Brother Cui and I are now full-time employees of MS Company, so awesome."

"MS Company?"

"Meeseeks, the Chinese name is Mission Must Reach. You can search online." Cui Yi said: "This company has business all over the world and specializes in serving the super rich.

For example, if you are camping in the Alps and suddenly want to have a big meal, you can dial the number and contact MS. A helicopter will fly down in an hour, tables, chairs and tableware will be arranged on the mountain, and Michelin chefs will cook Alaskan snow crab and French Alsace on the spot. Foie gras from Sri Lanka, wagyu beef from Hyogo Prefecture, Japan, and a bottle of red wine that has been baptized by shipwrecks for a hundred years.

Brother Cui and I defeated hundreds of people to get this job. "

Cui Yi sounded extremely proud. He, an ordinary young man who dropped out of high school, could defeat a group of elites who graduated from prestigious universities. He was indeed worthy of pride.

"Let me check the schedule, um. There is a birthday party for a rich family's child the day after tomorrow, and we need people to decorate the place. Will you come? The daily salary will be one thousand eighty."

"So much?" Li Sheng was shocked. This was a daily salary.

"The more the customer gives, the more we share. You can come, right? That's it. I'll call you when the time comes."

Cui Yi hung up the phone, tightened the blue MS hat on his head, and moved pieces of equipment into the mansion in the garden with the workers around him.

Bolansler's piano, Zeratung's speakers, Polyfon's wardrobe, and Persian handmade carpets
Chalk lines have been drawn on the floor of the villa hall, and a group of MS employees put furniture and appliances into the chalk-drawn frames, exactly.

A gloved employee carefully placed the white porcelain vase on the cabinet made of rosewood, and asked in a low voice: "Brother Cui, this villa costs 70 to 80 million, right?"

"Stop talking nonsense. Have you forgotten the employee handbook? You can't talk about customers in private."

Cui Yi interrupted the other party's words, muttering in his heart. This lot, this area, 70 to 80 million? At least 100 million!

Cui Yi, who became independent early and has tasted the ups and downs of the world, has passed the age of resentment. No matter how rich others are, it doesn't matter to him.

He was just a little confused - the owner of the villa never showed up, and it was the housekeeper who coordinated and requested that all the furniture be installed in one day.

Does it feel like a temporary move? But which wealthy family would be so casual?
At this moment, in the bedroom on the third floor of the villa, away from the noise of the living room, Shao Wangshu, wearing chick pajamas, was lying on the bed, tossing and turning on his cell phone.

Unlock the screen, find no QQ messages, lock the screen, unlock the screen, find no QQ messages, lock the screen. And so on.

In the corner of the room, a young housekeeper with a ponytail and a straight posture could not help but remind her in a low voice: "Miss, it's time to do your homework."

"Right away." Shao Wangshu said absently, his fingers unconsciously pinching the cat ears on the silicone case of his phone.

"Your father said that the condition for moving to Yin City to live on your own is that your grades cannot decline. Otherwise, you will have to return to Jincheng."

"I know, I'll write it later." Shao Wangshu turned over, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he cheered: "Li Sheng has passed my friend application!"

"That's great." The housekeeper said insincerely. He picked up his schoolbag from the ground, took out the test papers and laid them out on the table. "Can you do your homework now?"

"Quick, quick, help me think of how to say hello." Shao Wangshu waved his hand, "Should I say [Good evening], or [Hello, deskmate]? Or [Do you really not remember me?]

Is the last question too direct? It's been so long, it's normal for him not to remember me."

Listening to the girl talking to herself, the housekeeper rolled her eyes and stood in the corner like a wooden figure.

The Shao family, and the Xue family where Li Sheng's uncle Xue Jingming belonged, were among the eight families that signed a contract with the Special Affairs Bureau and explored the killing field together.

The difference is that Xue Jingming is only a branch of the Xue family branch, not an important member at all. Shao Wangshu and her twin brothers and sisters are the core of this generation of the Shao family.

In her veins, the blood of gods flows.
