Chapter 42 Chapter Forty-Two

The days are noticeably shorter. It was already dark when Taozi reached the gate of the Conservatory of Music.The workers who repaired the gate hadn't finished their work yet, and dazzling lights were set up in front of the school gate.Even so, Taozi almost tripped over a bag of cement.He cursed the bag of cement in his mind, and at the same time prayed that this shot would not stumble. This is Taozi's first visit to the Conservatory of Music. The buildings in many cities are under your nose all your life, but you never have the chance to walk in.For Taozi, Xinjiang Conservatory of Music used to be like this.Without the current opportunity, he really couldn't think of any reason why he would walk into this strange courtyard.

Calculated, Tao Zi and Xue Ge have only met for less than a week, but they have known each other for a long time.At first, Xue Ge and Tao Zi were attracted to chatting only by his screen name: Che Zun.Xue Ge has always been very interested in cars, so he added "Che Zun" as a friend, wanting to hear more about cars.Taozi really lived up to Xue Ge's high expectations.Because his parents opened a car repair shop very early, he himself has been working in the factory since he dropped out of school, and his proficiency in cars is outstanding among his peers, so he often bursts out violent stories in the chat, which makes Xue Ge dumbfounded.And gradually, Xue Ge discovered that this "car venerable" is not only proficient in cars, but also in all aspects, ranging from flying immortals to extraordinary skills, as long as he starts to talk, he can talk endlessly.Chatting with him always made Xue Ge feel like a fool who can only sing.So Xue Ge's admiration for "Che Zun" gradually became uncontrollable like a kite with a broken string.Finally, on the afternoon of the second day of the project study, Xue Ge and Taozi, who were bored, met.

Then, they have a shared secret. There were few people in the conservatory.Is this a university, Taozi thought, why is it as deserted as a cemetery.Taozi followed the route Xue Ge told him to find the teaching building, walked up the stairs, and went straight to a room called the department head's office.He knew that the room was at the end of the corridor, and he caught a glimpse of the light coming from the room at a glance. Just in time, he thought. Feng Tai didn't know at all that he had a guest today.What's worse, he never even dreamed that he and that guy with big head and small eyes would have a second chance to shake hands!At the moment he is concentrating on working in the office.The teachers are off work and the students are gone.But he can't go, he must pay more than others, that is his belief and his habit.

Today is the last day of project study, and Feng Tai just spent nearly two hours sorting out a material of several thousand words.This is what Xie Lan requested. The leaders of each department should write a summary after the special study, fully reflecting the deep understanding of teachers and students and the determination to resist corruption and never stick to it.Feng Tai knew that many departments were dealing with it, but he couldn't. On the contrary, this was his chance to stand out.He could figure it out without using his brain. Tomorrow, Xie Lan would ask Wang Yue to gather all the materials and report them to the Education Committee.Whichever department's material is more vivid, richer, and more earth-shattering, the head of that department can naturally show his face on it.Of course Feng Tai couldn't let go of this opportunity, Feng Tai never let go of any chance.And when the situation requires it, Feng Tai will take the initiative to create opportunities - that's what happened with Fang Lili.

That evening, when Feng Tai proposed the plan to Fang Lili, Fang Lili was so shocked that she pulled her chopsticks to the ground.It was in a private room of a hotel.As Feng Tai expected, Fang Lili immediately rejected him.Fang Lili's face was frosty at the time, and she turned to leave, but nothing could stop her righteousness.This is not difficult for Feng Tai, he has enough confidence to turn the rejection into a promise.He wouldn't come if he wasn't completely sure. In other words, when he came, he had to make the girl obedient.So Feng Tai begged Fang Lili not to leave, just sit down and talk slowly, it's easy to say.Then he talked for a long time, until his mouth was dry and his throat was smoking.He imagined that in his sonorous words, the walls in the girl's heart collapsed one after another.

Feng Tai said: "To put it bluntly, Lily, since I came to ask you to do this, I didn't regard you as a student, so you don't need to regard me as a teacher now. We are just cooperators. We work together to do one thing, and we can talk well." Just do it, or just pretend I didn't say anything. I know you're in trouble right now. Your dad just had a car accident and can't do anything in bed, let alone go to work. You need a lot of money just to take medicine Right? Last week, you seem to have borrowed a thousand yuan from Liu Pei from your class..." Fang Lili looked at Feng Tai in surprise, thinking, why does this person know everything?

Feng Tai took out 1,000 yuan from his pocket and put it in front of Fang Lili. Fang Lili quickly pushed it back, and Feng Tai slowly put it back and held it down with his hand. "You don't have to be polite, even if it doesn't matter, you still have the money. It's better to borrow from the teacher than from the classmates." Then, he put his hand into another pocket.This time it wasn't a thousand that was taken out, it looked like five in thickness.When Feng Tai put the wad of money in front of Fang Lili, he clearly felt the girl's face was blushing and her heart was beating.

"Don't get me wrong, this is not a bargaining chip for me to force you to help. I have also come from your age, I know how you feel, I am already an adult, it is so difficult at home, and I can't do anything to help my parents, so I can only watch Look, that kind of feeling is really uncomfortable. So you take the money, and return it to me when you earn it later." While the girl was still dazed by the pile of banknotes, Feng Tai handed her the water glass. "As for what I'm talking about, you don't have to take it so seriously. I know Teacher Zhou holds a lot of weight in your heart, but to be honest, this matter doesn't affect him much, it just makes him unable to be the head of the department. But if you think about it, is it important for a person like Mr. Zhou to be the head of the department? He has such a high reputation, so many achievements, and now he is the son-in-law of the dean. , these years have not been easy for me, and I have finally worked hard until today, whether I can go up this time is a life-determining issue for me.”

Fang Lili didn't rush to leave, but just sat on the chair and listened to Feng Tai's words.Feng Tai felt that her coldness was much less, and he began to solve the most difficult problem. "As for the impact on you, you don't have to worry at all. The police will never hold on to this kind of thing. You can leave immediately after paying the fine, and you won't be detained at all. You can rest assured on the school side. The school will definitely not If you want to make a big deal out of it, the school has to take its face into account. Usually this kind of thing is made into a minor matter, and the trivial matter is eliminated. Besides, it is your handling method. Anyway, I am also an assistant to the director, and I have a say in the handling method. I will definitely I will fight for the lightest punishment for you from Dean Xie." Feng Tai noticed that Fang Lili was starting to get nervous, and he immediately relaxed his tone, "Don't be nervous, it's at most a warning and demerit, it doesn't affect anything. Wait. When you are about to graduate, I will find someone to withdraw the disciplinary record from your file, and it will be as if it never happened."

Feng Tai stood up, put the two wads of money into Fang Lili's pocket, poured her a drink, and asked softly, "How is it? Can we cooperate?" Fang Lili bowed her head and remained silent.After a while, she raised her head and said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Feng, you should find someone else." She took out the money and put it on the table, "I appreciate your kindness, I can't take this. Don't worry, this I'm sure I won't say anything about it." After speaking, she got up and left. "Wait a moment." Feng Tai also stood up, walked back to his seat, and put his hand into his purse.

"You'd better take the money, and take these things... together." He took out the contents from the purse and handed it to Fang Lili.Fang Lili took a look and immediately turned pale with shock! "This, these..." She raised her flushed face to look at Feng Tai, and then immediately avoided his gaze. "I took it by accident, and I haven't had time to hand it over to the school." Feng Tai said to Fang Lili's profile. Fang Lili agreed to Feng Tai's request after seeing those photos. It was a picture of her dancing at the Sirius Nightclub, far from the Conservatory.sex dance.She went there to skip three times in total, all of which she went there resolutely. The family hadn't sent her any money for some days.Later, she saw that the atmosphere there was really bad, so she never went there again.How did she know that the boss of Sirius happened to be Feng Tai's friend.Her teacher Feng, who was planning for a rainy day, had already sneaked over and took those photos. When the knock on the door sounded, Feng Tai had just finished typing the last full stop on the computer, he stretched comfortably, and at the same time shouted full-bodied: "Come in!" The door opened. At the door stood a young man of medium height, with a large head cropped and small eyes, strong and rather rude. For a few seconds, Feng Tai kept stretching his waist, with his arms outstretched, staring blankly at the person by the door.Then he stood up abruptly!With a face full of astonishment, he stammered and said, "You, you? How did you... come here?" "I want to talk to you." Taozi walked into the room without showing any expression to Feng Tai. Feng Tai walked quickly to the door, poked his head out to look around, closed the door tightly with a "bang", locked it, and walked in front of Taozi. "How did you find it? How did you know I was here? Who told you?" "Don't worry about that." "Okay... what do you want to talk about? Let's change places." Feng Tai put on his coat. "I'm not going anywhere, just talking here." "It's better to change..." "Right here." Taozi's tone made Feng Tai give up hope of fighting.He leaned his heavy body against the wall.He really wanted to know how this unexpected guest landed here with a "snap", but his messy brain couldn't give him any answers.After a while, he said, "Okay, whatever you're talking about, tell me first, how do you know I'm here?" "Maybe we two are destined." Taozi didn't look at Feng Tai, and casually looked at this beautiful office. "Even if we are destined, isn't our fate already over? Why are you still looking for me?!" "Is it over?" Tao Zi sneered. "Nonsense! I gave you all the money, and you also said that we have no relationship anymore." "But I heard that the girl died." Taozi said slowly, putting his big head in front of Feng Tai, and blinking at him with his small eyes. Feng Tai was stunned for a while, then let out a dry laugh, "Oh, dead? Who did you hear that? Who told you that she was dead? She was studying at school every day, how could she die..." "Director Feng, I'm not a three-year-old kid, maybe I can come?" Feng Tai stopped talking. Taozi's voice was full of sadness: "Director Feng, I'm so sad. At the beginning, I just wanted to earn some money and never wanted to kill anyone. It was you... who made me a murderer." Taozi put his hand on Feng On Tai's shoulder, Feng Tai twisted his body and shook off his hand, asking him, "Who made you a murderer?" "You." "Okay..." Feng Tai tried to reason, even though he knew that reasoning didn't work at all. "Yes, she died, so what? I didn't let her die, let alone you. She hanged herself because she couldn't think about it. What does it have to do with you?" "It doesn't matter?" Tao shot the ashes on Feng Tai's body, "If you didn't let her sell it online, if you didn't let me pretend to be a prostitute, if you didn't let the police crack down on pornography, she would have died?" "Yes, yes, yes... It was all designed by me. I let her sell it, and I let you whore, but I paid for it! You also accepted it, and everyone did what they should do, and everything is over. I I can only be responsible for things within the contract, and everything outside the contract has nothing to do with me, let alone you! Why do you come to me?" "Haha... Fortunately, you are still a teacher, and a life is lost in your hands. You say it has nothing to do with you?" "You have a conscience! Then what were you thinking when you took the money? Why did you suddenly discover your conscience now?" "Nonsense! The two thousand yuan is just for me to lie for you, not for murder." "I'll say it again, you didn't kill anyone! No one killed anyone, that girl committed suicide!" "But she wouldn't commit suicide without you! Don't think I don't know why you did that. You just want to frame a teacher named Zhou Yulou here, right?" After a while, Feng Tai stared at Taozi with wide eyes... "How do you know Zhou Yulou? Who told you?" "Director Feng, to tell you the truth, I know everything. I also know what a crime it is for you to trip up your opponent and take a life just to be a bad director." silence. silence…… Feng Tai: "Who else knows?" "It's the two of us now." "What do you want?" "Ten thousand." "This is a scam!" Feng Tai growled. "Excuse me? Heh, a scum like you is worthy of me? I just want you to know the weight of a human life. And... I just heard that the girl committed suicide. It's hard to say if that's the case. Who knows? It's not because someone has done something wrong and feels guilty, so it's not necessarily a case of murder." "you……" "Don't force me to go to the Public Security Bureau, let them check the bad debts again." "Okay, okay..." Feng Tai completely disarmed, "You have a sense of justice, you have a conscience, but how do I know if your conscience will be convulsed after taking away 10,000 yuan?" "I don't know either, it depends on your luck." "Ten thousand, right? All right! I can give it to you, but you have to tell me where you heard these things from." "It doesn't matter where you heard it, what matters is that it's true." Feng Tai felt that it would be difficult to get any more sweetness from this big head.He gritted his teeth and told Taozi: "Remember, I only have 10,000 yuan. This is the first and last time! My patience can't handle your conscience!" Taozi took out a note that he had written long ago from his trouser pocket, handed it to Feng Tai, told him that the payment must be made before 12 noon tomorrow, and then walked out of the dean's office. "Don't play tricks, Director Feng." Before closing the door, he said. Feng Tai looked at the note, on which was written the guy's bank and account number, and at the bottom was his name, Shen Tao. After Taozi left that day, Feng Tai sank into the chair in the office for a long time.The bad accident was like a swarm of flies on his chest.Grandma's!Who sent him the wind report letter and told him everything?Who let him find here?How could he know Zhou Yulou? ... All kinds of questions were jumping up and down in his head, but there was no Chou Yinmao at all.Yes, although he is very diligent, he is not a god after all. How could he figure out that a person he picked up from the street would meet a child under his nose unexpectedly? Feng Tai found Taozi to pretend to be a prostitute by accident. After Fang Lili was dealt with that day, Feng Tai suddenly felt that it was not enough to have prostitutes, he also had to have a client.What the police said was that people took stolen goods and obtained them at the same time.When he was thinking about this question, he was passing by an Internet cafe, and suddenly saw a guy with a big head, small eyes and a rough face coming out of it.Feng Tai immediately had an idea - two thousand yuan, maybe he could buy this "prostitute" who didn't look too rich.Then Taozi got involved in Feng Tai's plan. Feng Tai's thinking at the time was that the stranger the better for this kind of thing, the best is to just grab someone on the street, who has nothing to do with each other, and after the job is done, they will become strangers forever and never touch.He completely ignored the philosophy that "mountains and rivers meet each other", which is full of human lessons, especially today when chances have become so turbulent. Feng Tai did not expect Fang Lili's suicide, but it really made him happy for a while.He took it for granted that all the troubles had died with Fang Lili the moment she kicked the stool away.Oh, it's all right now, the "prostitute" is dead, and the "client" is back.
