Chapter 2 Trivial Matters (Seeking Recommendations! Collecting)

  When Li Huan opened his eyes again, he found that it was already two o'clock in the afternoon. After seeing the time, Li Huan jumped out of bed and quickly put on his slippers before rushing out the door.

  Li Huan is in such a hurry because he found several part-time jobs during the summer vacation. In the morning, Wu Huan had to deliver newspapers to the newspaper office, but today Wu Huan finally took a day off with great difficulty, so he didn't go this morning. This afternoon, Wu Huan has to deliver water to others, starting at 2:30 every day. Li Huan's home is several miles away from the delivery location, and Li Huan always walks there without taking a taxi, which is why he is in such a hurry.

  If he's late, he'll definitely be scolded again. Being scolded is a small matter, but if his salary is deducted, Li Huan will feel that it's not worth it. So all the way, Li Huan ran to get there.

  On such a hot day, Li Huan ran alone under the scorching sun, naturally attracting attention from many people. Along the way, passersby constantly pointed at Li Huan, most of them with puzzled expressions, and some even secretly cursed him as crazy. After all, in this weather, not to mention running, even walking normally would make people feel breathless.

  For those people's pointing and staring, Li Huan didn't care at all. He was already used to it anyway, so he had developed immunity. Now his heart only wanted to hurry up and get to the place where they were sending water, other than that, Li Huan didn't want to think about anything else.

  Finally, until Li Huan was drenched in sweat, his face flushed red, and he was panting heavily, Li Huan finally arrived at his destination - the Bohai Pure Water Center. Then Li Huan didn't dare to delay, and hastily pushed open the door and walked inside.

  But Li Huan had just entered and was met with a twisted, inhuman face. Seeing this person, Li Huan suddenly felt a bad feeling. This person was someone Li Huan knew - Wang Bohai, the boss of the Bohai Pure Water Center. Just by looking at him, it was clear that Wang Bohai's mood was extremely poor.

  As expected, Wang Bohai's anger finally erupted after seeing Li Huan: "Damn it, look at the time! It's already 2:35! You're just arriving now? Don't you know what time we start work? Do you know how much loss your tardiness has caused our company? What a blow to our company's reputation!" After finishing speaking, he glared at Wang Bohai with a furious face, his two eyes seeming to spit out fire.

  "Sorry, boss, I didn't mean to, something came up today and I'm a bit delayed, please forgive me, I'll definitely improve next time!" Li Huan said with some urgency in his breath. Although Li Huan's mood was also very bad at this moment, and he was also very disgusted with this boss, but now he had no other choice, he could only try to lower himself as much as possible, and then protect his salary. After all, wasn't he working so hard just for that little bit of salary?

  "Sorry? Can a single sorry recover the losses of our company? You idiot, do you know how much loss we've suffered because of you? Just now several clients have cancelled their orders from us, can you imagine how big the loss is?! Alright, I won't waste my breath on you anymore. Now, I'm formally notifying you that you're fired! Get out of here quickly, we don't dare to use you again, or who knows what bigger losses you'll bring to us!" Wang Bohai suddenly let out a cold laugh and waved his hand impatiently at Li Huan, his tone filled with annoyance.

  "What! Fired! You, how can you do this? Even if you want to fire me, you should pay my salary first, I've been working here for over a decade!" Li Huan's face turned furious after hearing that, and he took a step forward, staring tightly at Wang Bohai.

  Wang Bohai was shocked by Li Huan's sudden change, and in the previous moment, Wang Bohai felt a kind of pressure from Li Huan, which was the momentum of a superior, although it was fleeting, but Wang Bohai still felt a lingering fear.

  "You, what are you trying to do! Li Huan, I'm telling you, don't try anything funny, or else I won't let you off!" Wang Bohai said with a somewhat menacing tone.

  When Li Huan saw Wang Bohai's appearance, the corner of his mouth also revealed a faint cold smile. After so many years of struggling alone, Li Huan had already seen all sorts of people in society, and he had met many small characters like Wang Bohai, so naturally he had a way to deal with him.

  He has already figured it out, today Wang Bohai is intentionally picking a fight. What loss of the company's reputation is all nonsense. There are at least five pure water centers like Wang Bohai on this street alone, and they are just small businesses that can't even be considered reputable. As for losses, that's even more nonsense.

  Moreover, he also knew that when facing Wang Bohai, a person who is soft on the outside but hard on the inside, he absolutely could not show weakness. Otherwise, he would become even more overbearing and take advantage of him. In the past, Li Huan had suffered losses many times, and after experiencing some things, Li Huan naturally developed his own way of handling matters.

  That's when Li Huan didn't need to hide his anger anymore, as acknowledging his mistake was futile and the other side was pressing him step by step. Anyway, such small bosses usually don't have much power, so Li Huan didn't need to worry about their revenge. In this situation, Li Huan simply had no more humility left.

  Li Huan took another step forward, almost sticking his entire body to Wang Bohai's. His eyes were cold and fixed on Wang Bohai as he said in an icy tone: "I told you to give me my salary before I leave! Can't you understand?"

  Being stared at by Li Huan, Wang Bohai suddenly felt a wave of discomfort all over his body, as if he was being stared at by a ferocious wolf. However, thinking again, he thought to himself that he was after all a small boss who had been forced into this situation by a poor young man, and his heart suddenly felt some anger. Although he wasn't some big shot, compared to Li Huan, he was still stronger in the end.

  Wang Bo Hai suddenly had the confidence, a cold smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and he said: "Salary? You still want salary? To be honest, your salary has already made up for today's loss. I didn't think you'd ask for compensation, so don't be shameless!"

  Actually, Wang Bohai had made up his mind not to pay Li Huan's salary today. After all, Wang Bohai knew a thing or two about Li Huan's background - just a poor kid with no power or connections. It was precisely because of this that Wang Bohai thought he could get away with not paying Li Huan's salary. Although Li Huan's salary wasn't high, for someone like Wang Bohai, who was just a small-time boss, it was still a significant amount of money. He really didn't want to part with that cash, and now that he had the opportunity, he naturally wouldn't let it slip away easily.

  "Are you sure you really want to do this?" Li Huan's eyes flashed with a cold light after hearing Wang Bohai's words, and then he continued: "You must not regret it later, is it worth offending someone for just a few hundred dollars? I, Li Huan, may not be some big shot, but I'm also not someone who can be bullied by anyone!"

  "Are you threatening me?" Wang Bohai was startled at first, and then his heart also flashed with a hint of worry. He stuttered and said that he had not taken Li Huan seriously at first, but now that Li Huan had spoken, Wang Bohai was also hesitant. As the saying goes, "a barefoot person is not afraid of wearing shoes." Li Huan was alone and unencumbered, but Wang Bohai was different - he had a family to consider. If he really offended a madman, it would be too late for regrets.

  "You can understand it this way." Li Huan said coldly, now Li Huan has started to deal with him, if he doesn't give money, Li Huan has decided that he must make him pay a price. Li Huan is also a person who will definitely retaliate against those who provoke him, and will not let them off easily. He remembered that once before, Li Huan had also been docked wages, and the next day, he set fire to the opponent's small shop outside, although it didn't burn down completely, but there would be losses for sure. So Li Huan is not a gentleman, sometimes he is more like a petty person.

  Of course, when Li Huan did such things, he was not blindly doing them. He also knew that there were some people who could not be offended, and when encountering certain things, Li Huan also knew to endure. However, this does not mean that Li Huan would forget these things. On the contrary, Li Huan would remember them firmly, hiding them in his heart, and then wait for the day when he had enough power to give his enemies a fatal blow, just like a hungry wolf licking its wounds in the corner.

  When he saw Li Huan's appearance, Wang Bohai also felt uneasy in his heart. To be honest, he was really afraid of Li Huan taking revenge on him. If Li Huan really took revenge on him, the loss would definitely not be small. He might be able to guard against Li Huan, but there is no way to guard against thieves all the time, so he couldn't always be on his guard against Li Huan.

  After much deliberation, Wang Bohai finally compromised. After all, it wasn't worth offending a madman for just a few hundred bucks. So Wang Bohai suddenly said: "Fine, fine, fine! Here you go, hurry up and leave, don't let me see you again!" He pulled out 500 yuan from his pocket and threw it at Li Huan, saying impatiently.

  When Li Huan saw Wang Bohai's appearance, he was also delighted in his heart. He knew that this time he had gambled correctly again. However, there wasn't a hint of change on his face. He coldly took the money handed over by Wang Bohai, without saying a word, pushed open the door and walked out, then wandered aimlessly on the streets.

  "Damn it, I'm so dead, didn't expect to be played by this poor kid. Originally thought I could deduct 500 bucks and find a chick in Pink Rose, now it's all down the drain. Forget it, endure for a few more days, wait till that old hag goes back to her hometown and then go find Ali to settle the score. Damn Li Huan, damn old hag!" Wang Bohai suddenly let out a low growl.

  If Li Huan knew about this, he would probably go and beat him up immediately. He had been withholding Li Huan's salary in order to secretly visit nightclub girls without his wife knowing, and on top of that, he even had a mistress. If Li Huan were to find out, he absolutely wouldn't believe it.

  But Li Huan would not know about these things, at this time Li Huan was walking alone on the street without a purpose, his mind was also thinking about something unknown. Now Li Huan was already tired of this way of life, at first he still wanted to find another part-time job, but when he just wanted to go and look for one, he suddenly felt a wave of disgust. Having done part-time jobs for so long, Li Huan's heart was also a bit tired, no matter how cold and mature he appeared, it couldn't change the fact that he was just an eighteen-year-old boy.

  As an eighteen-year-old boy, Li Huan also had his own dreams and wishes, but his dreams and wishes were all shattered by his circumstances and reality. Li Huan lived like this for eighteen years, and his heart was really tired. He now yearned to relax a bit and find a new living environment.
