The first volume of the most natural and beautiful town secretary Chapter 10 Little Brother
It was already two o'clock in the afternoon when the meeting adjourned. Xiao Ri advocated thriftiness and there was no working lunch to eat, so he declined several invitations from town and county leaders to go out for a meal together. Tang Yi then arrived at Qi Jie's small restaurant again.
It wasn't a restaurant, and there were only a few people in the store. When Tang Yi walked in, a young man was squatting on the ground, holding a mop bucket to clean the dirt on the floor. The young man had a thick shoulder-length hair, and his bare back could be seen with several long scars.
Hearing the footsteps, the young man stood up and turned around, gesturing to ask Tang Yi, "Hey, buddy, who are you looking for? Or are you here for Missy?" As he spoke, he revealed a set of pearly white teeth, and his appearance wasn't bad either - thick eyebrows, big eyes, and quite handsome.
The waitress, Xiaoling, flew over like a swallow and smiled: "Ah, Secretary Tang, are you looking for Sister Qi?" Without waiting for Tang Yi's response, she turned her head and shouted loudly: "Sister Qi, Sister Qi! Secretary Tang is here!"
Tang Yi furrowed his brow and said: "So I'm not allowed to come eat now? Get me something to eat, I'm starving!"
"No, no...!" The little girl was startled and suddenly remembered the leader's taboo, her face turned white, and she hastily said: "No, you... I know, you're here to eat, not to see Qiji's...not" The more she spoke, the more she felt that her words were off the mark, and she became so anxious that tears almost fell.
Tang Yi couldn't help but smile and said, "Look at you, you're so scared. Next time your sister Qī says I'm bullying you, I'll tell her I came to eat and happened to see you, it's been a few days since we last met, I really miss her."
"Ah, yes..." The little girl nodded and murmured in agreement. When she heard Tang Yi's words, the young man's gaze, which had been slightly hostile upon hearing the three words "Tang Secretary", gradually softened.
He was Qijie's brother, Qi Jun. Originally, he had heard that he could be released because a town secretary had helped his sister. He felt indescribably awkward in his heart and even quarreled with his sister, saying that he would rather go to prison than have his sister intervene for him. Because he vaguely knew what his sister relied on when she helped him? Probably, it was only her body.
But seeing Tang Yi, he wasn't as old and ugly as he had imagined. Moreover, when Tang Yi bluntly said "think of your own sister", Qi Jun immediately took a liking to him. No matter what, this young secretary seemed to have a few more heroic qualities than himself.
"Tang Secretary, thank you for your help." It's rare to hear Qī Jūn say such a polite sentence with his rebellious personality. Qī Jié, who rushed out of the room, couldn't help but smile when she heard it. It seems that he really has an inexplicable charm. The younger brother, whom she met for the first time, seemed to have already been won over by him. She had been worried that her brother would have a big argument with Tang Yì, but now she could finally put her mind at ease.
Tang Yi and Qi Jie sat down face to face, Qi Jie shouted at the kitchen to prepare food, opening her mouth were some expensive dish names, Tang Yi smiled: "How come, really want me to be corrupted?"
Qijie smiled and said, "You sold me that thing for only 100 yuan, do you know how much I've made in the past few days? Calculating it, I've actually gotten a great deal." Turning her head around, she saw Qijun standing on the side with his ears perked up eavesdropping, and couldn't help but scold him, "Qijun, go attend to your own business! You don't have any manners!"
Tang Yi waved his hand, indicating that it was nothing to worry about. Looking at the mop in Qi Jun's hand, he couldn't help but frown and say, "You're letting him do this?"
Qijie said, "The store has been extremely busy these days, so I asked him to come and help out! Such a big person, idle every day is not a good thing. But he just wouldn't listen, three days fishing, two days drying nets!"
Tang Yi smiled and shook his head: "At his age, a big boy like him, you let him do chores, sweep the floor and clean up, can he really do it? It's not that simple."
Qī Jūn heard Táng Yì's words and hastily came over, saying loudly: "Exactly! Secretary Tang, you've hit the nail on my heart. Tell me, doesn't my sister care about me?"
Looking at Qijun's smiling face, Tang Yi's expression slowly sank, and he said in a low voice: "What did you say? Your sister doesn't care about you? You know where you should be now? You should be in prison! Suffering! Do you know what methods your sister has thought of to save you? Do you know how many tears your sister has shed for you?"
Tang Yiyue's voice grew louder and more agitated: "You think fighting, cutting people is cool, impressive, and awesome? In fact, you're just one of the most useless people! Those who are capable don't resort to violence. To put it bluntly, you're just a scum of society, a lowlife! You cause trouble and your sister has to clean up after you, aren't you ashamed as a man?"
Qī Jūn was so tongue-tied that he couldn't utter a single word, and every one of Táng Yì's words cut into his heart like a knife. He didn't want to listen, but had no choice but to admit that what the other person said was all true.
"Never mind, don't scold him anymore......" Qi Jie felt a little heartache for her brother and was especially afraid that his self-esteem would be hurt.
"You! Doting on someone is also a sin, don't you know?" Tang Yi shook his head helplessly at Qi Jie, his voice gradually softening.
Qī Jūn's face turned red and white, he remained silent for a long time. He slowly lifted his head and said in a soft voice: "Táng Gē, what you said is right, I guarantee that from now on, I will never let Sis worry again."
Qiji stared at Qijun in surprise, her younger brother. Why wasn't he jumping up and down in anger? Why didn't he run away with a huff? This was usually how he reacted when she slightly scolded him.
Qī Jūn said that these principles are not unclear to the Qí army, nor is it that Qí Jié hasn't told him before. However, Qī Jūn ultimately doesn't quite believe them. Today, facing Táng Yì, a young man about his own age, who seems to be able to crush him with just a flick of his wrist, Qī Jūn finally has an epiphany: what does it mean to be awesome? His past heroic ideas seem childish compared to this young man.
After hearing Qi Jun's guarantee, Tang Yi nodded slightly: "Well, be a down-to-earth person! If you can do it and persist, I'll help you find a good job!"
"Ah......" Qijie's eyes widened in shock as she stared at Tang Yi, unable to believe that Tang Yi would make such a promise to Qi Jun. She had witnessed Tang Yi's power and knew how much weight his words carried.
Seeing Qijie's eyes full of gratitude, Tang Yi smiled and said: "Alright, alright, when I helped you scold that Director Zhang from the Public Security Bureau, you weren't this moved, really."
In Qi Jie's heart, her mischievous younger brother was the one she worried about the most. But Tang Yi not only made him change his ways with just a few words, but also agreed to help him find a job. At that time, having a decent formal job was a matter of face, and Qi Jie felt unspeakably grateful, even suddenly feeling like if Tang Yi asked her to die for him now, she would do so without regret.
But when Tang Yi suddenly chuckled and said something about "Zhang big brother", Qi Jie's face turned red, she gave Tang Yi a white eye, turned her head and ignored him. If it weren't for Qi Jun being right next to her, she would have stretched out her long fingernails to pinch Tang Yi long ago.
