"What?" Shigeru Ikeda didn't mean to pretend to be stupid. He really didn't expect the store manager to say this first.

The store manager did not answer, but said to himself: "When I was studying, I was often bullied by bad teenagers."

Shigeru Ikeda's heart suddenly became cold, and he stood there at a loss and couldn't speak.

The store manager vomited a cigarette ring and continued, "I used to expect all the bad boys to die for me, and I also thought of using a knife to replace it and then finish it all. You guys are simply garbage in the garbage."

Shigeru Ikeda didn't know how to answer, so he had to say, "I'm sorry."

If it weren't before, he wouldn't care about the accusation of the store manager, and might even beat the store manager happily and tell him that this is how the world works and that he should be bullied without strength.

But now, Shigeru Ikeda felt very guilty, as if he was the culprit of bullying the young store manager.

"Why are you sorry? It has nothing to do with you, right?" the store manager said lightly, "And I just used the past tense."

Shigeru Ikeda asked hopefully: "Did you forgive them now?"

"No, how could I forgive, don't say such idiotic words." The store manager took another big breath of cigarette and spit out a large cloud of smoke. "It's just that the object of hatred is gone. Either die in the gang fight, or take risks in poverty, and end up losing both people and money. There is also a simple excessive drinking and going directly, and I am still alive.

"I actually hate such a group of short-lived ghosts, and I want to use my own lives to exchange the lives of these short-lived ghosts. It's so stupid. If I really want to exchange it, I'll lose a lot.

"You look at me, there are no highlights. I just faced with the arrogant little boy, but I can only choose to call the police. If he comes up to threaten me, I will probably beg for mercy with timidity, and even lick his shoes... I did this when I was young.

"But I will survive. I am already a full member. I don't need any achievements. As I work, I will naturally get promoted and raise my salary as I grow.

"I would marry a wife who was just right, maybe through blind dates. I would own a house of my own in Tokyo and have a pair of children. Do you know what this is called? It is called the future, and it is something that can be seen and touched for me.

"This is also something that the baseball guy just now and you don't have."

After saying that, the store manager pinched the cigarette, threw it on the ground, and repeatedly stepped on it with his feet. He stood up and turned his head to look at Shigeru Ikeda, grinning: "Look at your future, is there even a little thing there?"

Shigeru Ikeda couldn't say anything to refute.

In the past, he was a bad boy. When he was a long-term leader, he looked to the future and could see himself wearing a standard dress and wearing a group pattern.

And now, there is a blur ahead and nothing is there.

"I don't know what opportunity you decided to try to turn back," the store manager patted Shigeru Ikeda on the shoulder. "I am willing to give you a chance, but after today's incident, if I don't open you, the headquarters will come to hold me accountable because I recruited a bad boy who might cause trouble and became an employee."

"I..." Shigeru Ikeda wanted to argue, and wanted to say that he had changed his mind.

But the store manager interrupted him: "I can listen to your explanation, but the headquarters will not. In the eyes of big shots, you are just a bad boy. As long as you were, you are, you are, and you will be in the future.

"Only those NGOs will hire you guys who are returning. But if you want to enter NGO facilities, you have to go into the squat room first. If you don't squat room, you won't have the chance to get help from NGO."

The store manager paused for a long time, and then used the most straightforward words to make Shigeru Ikeda recognize his current situation: "You were fired."

Although I was mentally prepared, when this scene really came, Ikeda Shigeru still felt angry. He asked: "I'm being fired now? Then how do I calculate the money I paid half of the bento for the unreasonable customer yesterday?"

"In the company's account, the customer bought a full-price lunchbox. If you don't agree, you can take the legal approach." The manager smiled and said to Shigeru Ikeda, "This is how good people deal with such things."

Even Shigeru Ikeda knew that he had to find a lawyer by taking legal means, and the lawyers' asking prices were expensive.

He was very angry and wanted to punch the store manager in the face.

He glanced at the store manager and found that the other party was looking at him with contempt.

The look seemed to say again, "Look, a bad boy is a bad boy, and there is no way to wash his hands in a golden basin."

Shigeru Ikeda remembered what the store manager said just now, and he was afraid that he would do it himself now, so the store manager would kneel down and beg for mercy without hesitation.

But no matter how hard Shigeru Ikeda beat him, it would not change the store manager's contempt for him.

Because the store manager holds the future.

Shigeru Ikeda slowly sent his clenched fists open.

He said to the store manager: "Thank you for saying so much to me. I really can't see the future now, but I will continue to work hard."

The store manager stared at Shigeru Ikeda for a few seconds and asked, "Why? Isn't it good to be your leader? I might be able to really get to be the leader of the third generation organization in Jidao. Even so, it will be much more glorious than an ordinary member like me."

Shigeru Ikeda thought to himself that of course I know, that is the future I have always seen before.

"But, I want to be a good person now." Shigeru Ikeda smiled at the store manager, "One day, I can tell you honestly, I am a good person, I will come back to have a drink with you."

After Ikeda Shigeru finished speaking, he bowed deeply to the store manager.

Then he turned around and left without any nostalgia.

"Wait a minute." The store manager suddenly called him, "Take it, the half-price lunch box."

"No, this..."

"Take it! Damn, if you don't take it, I will suffer from insomnia for a month!" The manager forced the money into Shigeru Ikeda, "Also, this is the salary of yesterday, so you just think it's a day of work that you have paid for every day."

"this……"

"Just think that you didn't call me a reward." The store manager sighed, "I've actually prepared a meal just now. Come on, don't mess up the next place to work. Go and try your luck at those shops where the boss looks like they have stories."

"Thank you!" Shigeru Ikeda bowed to the store manager again, turned around and ran away with a meteor.

The manager stayed there and lit another cigarette.
