Kunming, who will you forget tonight

Chapter 28
I don’t even remember how I left school that day. My legs seemed to be numb, and I walked mechanically in one direction on the sidewalk.When I got home, I lay on the sofa and didn't want to move. The ashtray was placed on the ground, and beside it was a box of Hongtashan that had just been opened. There were densely packed cigarette butts in the ashtray, and the air was filled with the smell of smoke.

Hearing the sound of the door opening, Su Yubing yelled, "Qiuhan, are you going to die? You don't go to work in the afternoon, so you just lie down at home and smoke?"

I raised my eyelids and glanced at her, turned my head to the side of the sofa back, stubbed out the cigarette butt in the ashtray, and didn't want to say anything.

The first thing Su Yubing did when she put on her slippers was to go to the balcony to open the window, slip back to her room and change into home clothes. When I came to the living room again, I was still pretending to be dead. So dead.I could feel that she came to me, picked up the ashtray on the ground and put it on the coffee table, sat next to me and asked, "What's wrong? Is there anything unhappy? Wang Yong bullied you again?"

"No." I turned over from lying on my stomach to lying down, staring at the ceiling, and moved my body towards the back of the sofa.

Su Yubing sat near my stomach, leaned in again, looked at my face and asked, "What happened? I feel that you are very unhappy! To ease your mood, let me say something happy Let me tell you, your advertising and finance department has already calculated it, because the resources occupied are all the company's top advertising resources, and the cost is correspondingly higher. In the end, you can get a commission of 6000 yuan. No one can take away the 6000 yuan, how about it? Are you happy? You said that you would treat me to a big meal, and I will not be polite."

"Okay." After saying this word, I didn't want to say anything.

Su Yubing was very dissatisfied, pinched my face with her hand and asked: "As for what? What kind of blow did you get? You have no energy at all because of the blow? You didn't ask for leave today and I was the one who took care of it for you. When you got down, Wang Yong asked where you were, and I told you to go to work, do you have to thank me? Get up and cook."

"I'm not in the mood to cook today, you can make something for yourself, I'll go out to smoke a cigarette." After finishing speaking, I got up from the sofa and was about to go out.

Behind him, Su Yubing asked loudly, "Qiu Han, what's wrong with you?"

I ignored her, walked out of the neighborhood and wandered along the road, and came to Amy's bar without knowing it. Before the opening hours, a few shop assistants were cleaning. I came to the corner and lay on the table expressionlessly. looking out the window.After finishing her work, Amy came to sit opposite me and asked with a smile, "My brother, what's wrong with you? Are you hit?"

"Hmm." I said to Amy lying on the table, "I want to die."

Amy didn't take my words seriously at all, and asked jokingly: "What's so serious? Come and talk to my sister, let me see if this matter is worth my brother's death."

"Did Zhuo Lan tell you? The coffee shop she plans to open next Monday has been threatened and they will sue her to court."

"Why?" Amy was taken aback, "What's going on?"

"I was threatened by the school..." I told Amy what the 3Dmax teacher said, and there was the choice before me. I looked at Amy and said aggrievedly: "I really can't have a diploma. For To me, this is not just a graduation certificate, but also my mother's expectation of me. She has worked hard to support this family. If she finds out that I haven't received a graduation certificate after three years of college, she... I I don't know how she will react, and I don't dare to think about it. I don't want Zhuo Lan to be accused of plagiarizing ideas for no reason. She didn't do anything wrong. Everything is my fault, yes I'm wrong, Miss Mi, what should I do?"

"Don't worry." Amy comforted me and said, "Let me communicate with Zhuo Lan again. If it doesn't work, I will compensate your school with a little money privately. Tens of thousands of dollars are nothing to Zhuo Lan."

"Don't do this." I stopped Amy and said, "Zhuo Lan's money doesn't mean I can let her pay for my mistakes, and you don't talk to Zhuo Lan about this, just pretend you don't know anything. I'll go to school and talk to her tomorrow." Talk to the head of the media department, as long as he lets go, he can say anything."

"That's fine." Amy advised me: "If you can't solve it, don't be stubborn. Ask Zhuo Lan out to have a chat, and you can always think of a solution."

How could I have the nerve to talk about this with Zhuo Lan?If you open your mouth, wouldn't it be tantamount to asking for money in disguise? Although tens of thousands and 10,000+ don't matter to Zhuo Lan at all, I really can't ask for it.

Amy invited me to drink, and left alone when I was slightly drunk, and bought another bottle of Erguotou when passing by the convenience store at the entrance of the community, maybe I can understand myself better when I am drunk.When she got home, Su Yubing was still the same as usual, the TV was on, but she was lying on the sofa reading a book, and every time she asked her why she was reading while watching TV?What are you looking at?The explanation given by Su Yubing was that he wanted to read a book, but he felt lonely in an empty room, so he turned on the TV to create an atmosphere.

I went back to my room and fell asleep on the bed. I received a strange call in a daze. It seemed to be from the head of our media department, the teacher who taught us 3Dmax. I don’t remember what I said.The next morning, when I recalled it, I was busy looking through the call records, but it turned out that there was such a thing. He lay on the bed and called again. During the phone call, he asked proudly: "Qiu Han, have you thought it through? Yesterday, you and I Do you remember everything you said?"

"I don't remember." A little ashamed, he scratched his head and said, "Teacher, please tell me again."

"I'll be waiting for you in the office in the morning, come and find me." After speaking, he hung up the phone.I stared at the screen for a while, then hurriedly got up to wash up, and told Su Yubing that I couldn't go to work this morning, there was something important.

Su Yubing didn't ask me why I asked for leave. Anyway, I approved the leave very straightforwardly. It's great to have such a leader.

At a quarter past nine, I had already returned to school and met the head of the media department in the office. After the meeting, he was still very polite to me, handed me a cigarette and said, "Sit whatever you want."

I took the cigarette and said, "Thank you, Mr. Zhu, I drank too much yesterday, and I didn't even remember it when you called me."

"Don't rush to say this." Director Zhu tentatively asked: "Qiu Han, tell me the truth, what is the relationship between the owner of this coffee shop and you? Is it important?"

"We've known each other for less than a month, so it's not very important to say it's important."

"Well." Director Zhu seemed very satisfied with my answer, and continued to say to me: "Yesterday I also checked your information. You have not been considered excellent in character and learning in the past three years, but you have no problem graduating, and your graduation work You did a great job, now that someone has plagiarized your idea, she should make compensation..."

"Miss Zhu, you are wrong. It's not that she plagiarized my idea, but..."

Director Zhu interrupted me and said: "Don't worry about this, I have some news to tell you that the college can give you 50% of the financial compensation obtained for rights protection, at least tens of thousands, how about it? Three years of tuition fees It’s all out, and you earned it back with your own efforts, are you happy?”

"Ms. Zhu..." I paused and said, "I'm sorry, I can't accept this, and please don't sue me."

"No prosecution." Teacher Zhu said with a smile: "We are based on the principle of privateness. If the other party is really unwilling to compensate, then we will go to legal channels."

I was so depressed that I looked at him and asked, "Is there nothing to discuss?"

"No." Director Zhu's tone was very affirmative, "We have reasoned about this matter in the first place, you should recognize the status quo, as long as you are willing to stand on the side of the school and insist that you completed the graduation work independently, then even if you leave Don’t be afraid of legal procedures, the school is your solid backing.”

I sighed softly and asked, "What if... I... insist on not admitting that the work was completed by me?"

Director Zhu raised his head and stared at me, his face gradually changed from joy to incomprehension, and finally to anger. He stared at me with a ferocious face and asked, "Why? Why did you do this?"

"Conscience." I can only answer him with these two words.

"Conscience?" Director Zhu looked at me and asked, "Do you have a conscience? Are you worthy of talking to me about your conscience? After three years of school education, you still don't want to admit that your graduation work was completed by yourself. Strangers who have just met for less than a month are negotiating conditions with your alma mater. Do you think you are worthy of the training the school has given you in the past three years? Have you given anything back to the school? Talk to me about your conscience? Ask yourself first Do you have a conscience?"

"I don't know." I whispered, "I don't know if I'm doing the right thing for my alma mater, and I don't know if I'm doing the right thing. But what I can be sure of is that I can't cheat an innocent person, Zhuo Lan just appreciates my creativity. She gave me a lot of advice when I was working on this graduation work, and finally decided to turn my vision into reality with my consent. If I stand up and accuse her of copyright infringement at this time... …Sorry, I can not do it."

Director Zhu was speechless to me, he patted the table and said, "Qiu Han, let me solemnly remind you, think about your own future, think about your own situation, you are here to go to school, hand in a plagiarized copy For your graduation work, you are not only unfinished, but your moral character is corrupted."

"Whatever." I stood up and said, "You think it's your fault that my moral character is corrupted. It's enough for me to have a clear conscience. I will re-complete a graduation project and give it to you."

"Stop." Teacher Zhu snapped at me behind my back, "Is this your last choice? I'll give you another chance, think clearly before speaking."
