For five consecutive days, An Yi went out with high hopes and came back exhausted. It wasn't that there were many shops in Guangzhou that didn't need to hire people, but that he really couldn't pass the first step of the shopkeeper's selection process.

The first firm An Yi plucked up the courage to walk into was a firm that specialized in selling imported machine tools. The reason why he chose this firm was because An Yi felt that the profession was the right one. He studied machining, and was familiar with various planers and boring machines.

The broaching machine is very familiar. Seeing the simple knives and a few supporting equipment displayed in the shop window, An Yi felt that it was so simple. He was confident that with his solid basic knowledge, he could judge the quality of the products by just picking them up without looking at them.

The manual can accurately explain the usage and general installation procedures.

However, they didn't give him this chance at all. No matter how polite or patient he begged, the shopkeeper just said: Find the guarantor first. You won't let you touch these valuable commodities without a guarantor of local origin.

, let alone expect to enter our famous large trading house in Lingnan.

An Yi was not discouraged because he encountered a wall in his first job application. On the contrary, he thought it was normal and thought that as long as he had real talent, studied hard and worked hard, he might not be able to find a job that suits him. So he did not hesitate to go from job to job.

, but in the end, I still left disappointed again and again. The most important problems are as follows: First, An Yi has no credentials to prove his identity; second, larger business firms still need to show academic certificates; third, it is difficult to apply for a job.

After being forgiven, most shops put a brush and inkstone on the table for applicants to write their resumes, which immediately made An Yi quit. So An Yi left as soon as he saw the brush and inkstone on the recruitment platform.

Dongzi is a very loyal and good brother. Every night when the two of them sleep on the extra-wide hard bed, Dongzi will comfort the cheap brother he picked up in a soft voice. He always tells An Yi not to worry and take his time.

He came to Guangzhou alone and was captured by Liu Zhenhuan's Gui army. He finally escaped and worked as a beggar for more than three months. By chance, he got the care of the kind-hearted Sister Cai from the Civil Affairs Bureau, and finally

He found a bowl of food and lived a comfortable life. Now he has left the notorious corpse collection team and became a clerk in the garment factory of the Civil Affairs Bureau.

Mr. Lao had a different attitude towards An Yi. Apart from teaching An Yi how to read and write from time to time when he was free at night, he never asked or mentioned anything about An Yi's difficulties. What he loved to do most was to tell An Yi

Some allusions to the city of Guangzhou, the origins of the names of various streets and the changes in the situation in Guangzhou in recent years. An Yi did not realize these good intentions at first. As he traveled up and down the streets and alleys, he spent more and more time in contact with society.

The longer he went, the more he gradually realized how much valuable knowledge he had learned from Mr. Lao. It seemed that every conversation Mr. Lao had with him was specially arranged for his future and destiny, and every time it happened so naturally, it seemed that

The casual chat allowed An Yi to apply what he learned and benefited a lot.

Early the next morning, the industrious Dongzi had already been at work for a long time. Mr. Lao was still wearing his washed white scholar's gown and left the small courtyard with even steps. An Yi finished washing and dried the clothes he changed.

, grabbed his coat and put it on and hurried out. As soon as he left the door, he felt his pockets were heavy. He reached out and took out two boiled eggs that were still warm. He took out again and saw ten dimes of silver in his eyes. An Yi looked at Lao

The husband's eyes were slightly moist as he left. He quickly collected the money and eggs, lowered his head and strode out of the street.

After walking in vain all morning, An Yi met with disappointment at Shisanhang and Yide Road. He dragged his tired steps into the Changdi Avenue again without any purpose, and stopped in front of a boiling water bucket given by a foreign charity shopkeeper.

After drinking a gulp of cold water, he bowed and thanked him again and again, and then walked toward the east in a daze. As he walked with Tianzi Pier in front of him, An Yi suddenly remembered that the place in front of him was where Mr. Lao set up a stall to tell fortunes, and he was afraid of being tired.

Seeing his unlucky appearance, Mr. Lao immediately stopped and walked towards the bank of the Pearl River, trying to avoid Mr. Lao's sight by taking a detour from the messy pier below.

After crossing the simple wooden dock where sewage flowed and garbage was strewn along the edge of the dock, An Yi stepped onto the flat cement-paved floor of the dock and finally breathed a sigh of relief. He looked at the pair of Nanyang foot sandals given by Dongzi under his feet, but they had a big crack. If

If they are not repaired and glued in time with a red-hot saw blade or iron sheet, I am afraid that this pair of precious shoes will be scrapped.

An Yi took off his sandals and inserted them into his waist. He walked barefoot through the pier that was hot under the scorching sun. He planned to cross the pier onto the road and then wear it to apply for a job in a store. After walking a few steps, An Yi saw a well-dressed and handsome man.

The dignified and beautiful young woman walked forward carrying two suitcases, one large and one small. Perhaps the big suitcase was too heavy and suddenly slipped. A corner of the sturdy suitcase hit the instep of her right foot as she stepped out, shocking her with pain.

Sigh and sit on the ground.

An Yi stepped forward to help her without thinking. Seeing that the young woman was fine, he helped her pick up the fallen suitcase and said politely: "Sister, please hurry up and get on the boat? If you don't mind, I will give it to you."

Go to the pier approach bridge entrance."

"Thank you boy!"

The beautiful young woman struggled to stand up, tried to take two steps and breathed a sigh of relief. She raised her head and wanted to thank An Yi again. She was immediately beaten by this old man wearing old clothes, but she could not hide her unique upright, handsome and elegant charm.

Impressed: "Then I'm not polite. Please give me a ride, little brother."

"Okay!"

An Yi picked up the big suitcase and walked thoughtfully one step away from the beautiful young woman, as if he was worried that she might fall again. The beautiful woman quickly noticed An Yi's intentions and secretly praised this considerate young man in her heart.

, the corners of her beautiful mouth moved as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she held back.

After walking tens of meters in the crowd and only 20 meters away from the entrance to the approach bridge, two big men in black water satin shorts suddenly appeared in front of An Yi and started punching them without any explanation.

An Yi, who was unprepared, was punched several times in the stomach and waist, and the heavy suitcase fell to the side. The pain caused him to fall to the ground and have difficulty breathing. The people passing by dispersed in a blink of an eye, and screams continued, but

No one dared to step forward to stop it.

The young woman who reacted shouted loudly: "What are you doing? Stop! Stop it quickly..."

The two big men were unmoved at all and continued to kick An Yi who was curled up on the ground with his head in his hands. They kept shouting warnings: "I'll beat you to death for being a beggar who fished out of bounds, and I won't even look at who it belongs to."

How dare you interfere in your territory..."

"beep--"

The siren sounded, and the two big men raised their heads and glanced at the embankment, continuing to beat them, spitting thick phlegm at An Yi, and then ran away to the west. The young woman ignored the dust all over An Yi's body and the blood flowing from her nose.

He pulled him up by the lapel of his clothes and carried him into his arms, asking loudly and anxiously: "Young man, what's wrong with you? Young man, please talk..."

"It's okay...ahem..."

An Yi stubbornly sat up and gently pushed the concerned eldest sister: "The ship is about to leave, you can get on the ship, I'm fine... Ahem! I'm really fine."

The eldest sister was so anxious that she was almost in tears when she saw the bleeding in his nose. She hurriedly took out a silk scarf to help him wipe it, but was politely pushed away by An Yi.

Two policemen in black hurriedly arrived at this time. When the team leader with a rifle on his back saw the beautiful young woman's appearance, his expression changed. He immediately stood up straight and saluted: "Deputy Director Gong, please forgive us for being late!"

The young woman stood up and asked angrily: "Who were those two murderers just now? How dare they beat innocent citizens in broad daylight?"

"Report to the deputy director. It seems to be the local gang that has dominated the dock for several years. They may have recognized the wrong person. If they knew your identity, they wouldn't have the guts to kill them." The team leader reported anxiously: "Deputy director, you are in a hurry.

Just leave first, leave it to me to deal with it, and I will definitely bring the murderer to justice in the shortest possible time."

The woman calmed down a bit and nodded slightly when she saw two burly men in suits coming off the boat. One of the burly men in suits, about thirty-five or sixty years old, looked at An Yi, who stood up slowly, and turned to the police

The squad leader said coldly: "If something happens to our bureau today, I will skin you!"

"Xiao Tang, time is running out, take the box and get on the boat quickly." The beautiful woman turned to An Yi, who was holding his nose, and said apologetically: "Young man, I'm sorry for you! You were beaten for no reason for helping me, but I watched helplessly.

It looks like there is nothing you can do, alas... Well, let's do this, young man, please remember that the eldest sister's surname is Gong, and she works in the Second Bureau of the Party Department of the base camp. If you are free in a month, go to see her, and she will thank you very much!"

An Yi looked up at the sky to stop his nosebleed, and gave a vague response.

The police captain next to him apologized to Deputy Director Gong and promised to take good care of the young man who was beaten. Deputy Director Gong sighed helplessly, walked to An Yi and looked at him uneasily, until the last whistle of the cruise ship.

After the sound of the sound, the white silk scarf was forced into An Yi's hand, and he hurried to the approach bridge with the whispering urging of his two subordinates. Just after checking the ticket, the boarding board was slowly put away, and the British cruise ship with a height of three floors was slowly retracted amidst the sound of the whistle.

Slowly sailing away from the shore towards the seaport, Deputy Director Gong still stood on the side of the ship and couldn't help but look at An Yi on the shore.

"Young man, is it okay?" The squad leader sighed and turned to ask An Yi with concern.

An Yi stopped the nosebleed and lowered his head. While wiping the blood on his face with his sleeve, he replied in a low voice: "It's okay, police officer. I'm okay."

The team leader was happy: "I'm not an official, I'm just a team leader temporarily in charge of public security... Huh? Why does this brother look so familiar? We seem to have met somewhere... Oops! It's you, my little one.

Fellow fellow!"

An Yi put down his hand and looked curiously at the policeman with thick eyebrows, black face, big nose and wide mouth. After thinking about it, he suddenly shouted happily: "Brother Li? It's you... you are my little brother's savior! That morning I was going to

If you hadn't called for mercy, my little brother would have had his head chopped off! Haha..."

An Yi stepped forward excitedly and wanted to hug the team leader, but suddenly realized that his hands were covered in blood and dust, and half of his stretched out hands were frozen, not knowing what to do.

The bold Captain Li laughed, grabbed An Yi's hands and said enthusiastically: "Let's go! Go to my police box on the embankment to have a rest... Lu Kun!"

"My subordinate is here!"

"Immediately go to the clothing store in front and get two sets of clothes that are suitable for my brother. It is best to be the latest youth clothing style. Tell the shopkeeper that I want it. Don't fool me with hand-woven clothes!"

"clear!"

The little policeman carrying a long gun immediately ran towards the main road. Captain Li took An Yi's hand and walked towards the police box not far away diagonally above. Seeing the surprise on An Yi's face, he happily explained in a low voice: "Little brother, don't be surprised.

, this is a normal thing, the area between the pier and the middle of the road is under my control, haha... Little brother, how do you know Deputy Director Gong? "

An Yi answered honestly: "I just met her. I saw her carrying two heavy boxes and fell down, so I went to help her. Unexpectedly, she was beaten for no reason. If the elder sister hadn't told me her last name before leaving,

, I really don’t know what her last name is, and until now, I don’t know what the Second Bureau of the Party Headquarters is, alas, forget about it, let this matter be over.”

Captain Li stopped in surprise and looked at the natural-looking An Yi for a while, then said with admiration: "My little brother, you are so kind-hearted! Such a big official doesn't even try to fawn over him. He was beaten for no reason and still behaves like this."

It's rare to be open-minded! Brother, I have never seen someone as open-minded as you. What's more, you have such tolerance at such a young age. It's amazing! You will definitely have a great future in the future."

"Brother Li, what are you talking about? My little brother, I was bullied a lot when I was a child. I would take revenge on others from time to time. I got used to it over time after beating them back and forth. Later, when I went to a technical college, I became more sensible and not so naughty. Back then, I

Dad was so worried about my fight that his hair turned white..." An Yi, his father, said that he felt a faint pain in his heart, closed his mouth and lowered his head and stopped talking.

"You can see that my brother is a cultural person, haha!" Captain Li pulled An Yi up the stone steps, walked into the small police box, took out a towel, picked up half a basin of water, and put it on the stone slab in front of An Yi: "Let's make do with it.

Let’s wash up and put on some clothes after washing.”

"Thank you, Brother Li!"

An Yi unceremoniously took off his dirty clothes and carefully placed them on the stone railing aside. He bent down to wash his face and wipe the remaining blood on his neck and chest. The little policeman who went to "get" the clothes hurried back and handed Captain Li a

A neat yellow paper box with "Weekly Diary" printed on it.

Captain Li put the carton on the ground and quickly opened it. He took out two sets of khaki youth clothes, one gray and one black, and spread them out to take a closer look: "Very good! The workmanship of Lao Zhou's family is so damn good. These clothes and pants are...

Cultural talents can dress elegantly, which is perfect for my brother’s educated appearance. These canvas rubber-soled shoes are also very good. Thanks to your thoughtfulness, everything is complete, haha! Let him help me next time for my wife’s birthday.

Let's sew a set...Brother, you've finished washing, come on! Come into the pavilion and try it out, let me see how it goes."

"This...Brother Li, I can't bear it, so I'd better keep it. I have to leave beforehand." An Yi refused with a blushing face.

Captain Li was anxious: "Stop talking nonsense! Are we fellow villagers or brothers? Do you look down on your elder brother and me, a small policeman?"

"No, no! What did Brother Li say? I'm just... I'm just embarrassed to accept it. This kind of clothes is very expensive. The cheapest one costs ten oceans! I can't afford such a heavy gift..."

"Nonsense! Come in quickly! Put it on for me immediately!"

An Yi saw that Captain Li was really angry. After hesitating for a moment, he took his clothes and entered the police box. He thought that in this case, he would just change into them. Maybe he would have to ask Brother Li to issue a "Good Citizen Certificate".

So, An Yi put on the black youth uniform with a stand-up collar, and after a moment of tidying up, he walked out of the police box with a blushing face. There is a saying that a man relies on his clothes, as if he relied on his gold. Putting on a brand new and decent uniform, An Yi looked even more upright and handsome.

, there was a bit of charming gentleness and handsomeness in his shy smile, which made Captain Li and the little policeman's eyes brighten and they were full of praise. After a round of praise, Yiyi sent An Yi away who was eager to go home, and repeatedly warned her before leaving.

If you have any problems, come here to find me. As long as you say he is Li Tiekui's brother, no one will help you.

An Yi thanked him repeatedly and then left. Perhaps he felt sorry for being favored, because his steps turned out to be light and messy.

The little policeman watched An Yi disappear at the entrance of the alley, turned around and asked his boss in confusion: "Brother Li, you have been on duty for so long, and you have never extorted a shop, and I have never seen you be so interested in a stranger.

,That is why ah?"

Captain Li sighed: "Isn't it because of Deputy Director Gong? She is the Deputy Director of the Confidential Bureau of the Party Headquarters. She controls our future and even our lives. Today, she was humiliated at the dock.

Brother, how dare I not try my best to make up for it? She always keeps her word, I guess she will come to me when she comes back from a business trip. Alas! I am an honest and kind person, how can I know at such a young age?

Have you unintentionally helped the noble man? I guess my little fellow will never go to Deputy Director Gong. He is an open-minded person. Even though he is polite and courteous, he seems to be submissive and has no temper. But I can see from his eyes

I can see the extraordinary arrogance in his bones, and I can see Deputy Director Gong’s appreciation for my little fellow from her eyes. Lu Kun, you are also an honest person. Honest people are suffering these days. Watch more and learn more from now on.

, remember?”

"Remember, thank you, Brother Li!"

The sturdy Lu Kun thought for a moment and asked again: "Brother Li, your little fellow is a man of character. The day before yesterday, I saw him applying for a job at a store, but he was not selected and went to the next store, so I paid attention to him.

, he hit the wall again and again, but there wasn’t much of a particularly sad look on his face. I guess he also encountered trouble in finding a job today. If so, should I go to the shop owner and tell him to help your little fellow?

Is it a good idea to seek differences?"

Captain Li smiled slightly: "We don't have to worry about it. I believe that as soon as Deputy Director Gong comes back, my little brother will follow her and flourish. A few days ago, I overheard our Director Wu saying that the Generalissimo and several

The elders admired Deputy Director Gong's ability to do things very much and praised her as a rare hero among women. I'm afraid she will soon be asked to take the lead. What does it mean for us to help a fellow villager with some errands now? Maybe Deputy Director Gong can't do it.

So happy!"

"So that's it? I understand, brother. Don't worry, big brother. I'll tell the other brothers later that whenever I see your little fellow, I will take care of you." Lu Kun is not a fool either.

Captain Li nodded: "That's right... Okay, let's call it a day, the weather is like a steamer..."

Captain Li decided to pay attention from now on, but Mr. Lao at the fortune-telling stall not far across the street had already been paying attention. He had seen An Yi since he turned the corner to avoid it, and he could also see the next scene clearly.
Chapter completed!
