25 Madison
Night school. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ info
"To sum it up. When the end of class came, Mr. Morris was doing the end of the lesson, "What is a symbol?" Find common characteristics, logic, and patterns of behavior between two things, and then replace one thing with the other......"
Well, this is the mean, bitter Mr. Morris, who pulled out a piece of chalk and slammed it in the direction of the desk, "Madison, what are you doing, did I say class is over?" β
Madison's eyes twitched and wiped the chalk foam off his face, and stopped putting away his notes on the table, "No, sir." It wasn't that Maddison was good-tempered enough, but that West had glanced sideways at his poor friend comfortingly.
But Mr. Morris didn't stop, "Is my class boring, Madison? Oh, yes, symbol, isn't that what you're proud of, huh, your 'vampire' boss, the blood-sucking monster, right, hehe." β
Madison frowned and lowered his head, sometimes Madison wondered why he had to pay to be here to suffer, writing was just a hobby, a hobby to spice up his mood. But Madison gained nothing but humiliation in this writing class, and Mr. Morris made full use of every opportunity he could to humiliate Madison-
"And the article you published in that joking magazine, what, the shadow man, the ghost, the mirror man, the werewolf, the demon...... It's all symbolic, right? Teacher Morris seemed to be energetic, walked off the podium, took off his glasses, took out his handkerchief, and wiped it without hiding the mockery at the corners of his mouth, "You love symbols, right, you are the master of symbols, right?" Oh, Madison, you must be like, 'What is that old man rambling on it, he knows what a symbol is'. Hehehe, sorry. Bringing back his glasses, the corners of his mouth curved, "Madison, I'm boring you." β
The class was quiet, how to say, everyone was numb. Numb to this kind of Morris's humiliation of Madison, sometimes everyone feels a little sympathy - if Madison didn't get so close to West, maybe Mr. Morris would have let Madison go.
Oh yes, remember that West was Mr. Morris's proud student, of course, he was very unhappy that his most satisfied student was actually friends with the student he despised the most, and he wanted to worry that West would be spoiled by Madison. Pity......
There is so much helplessness in life. Let's observe a second of silence for Madison, and then we'll be numb together. There's no turning point for here, is there?
The silence began to make people impatient, but Morris kept the corners of his mouth crooked and looked at Madison with his head down, saying nothing, doing nothing. I don't know what Morris wants to get in response from Madison, but I guess I'm just enjoying the feeling of letting everybody know, 'It's because of you, Madison, everybody's impatient.'"
Having said that, Morris is a mean, bitter guy, in all sorts of ways.
Finally, Madison moved. Packed up his notebook again, stuffed it into his briefcase, and then stood up in West's helpless, reassuring eyes, and looked directly at Morris, "Teacher." "It's not too rude to call him by name, after all, it's not the end of class yet," can I leave early, my staff has been waiting for me at the door for half an hour. β
It's the truth.
Leon, who had been at the door of the classroom, took two steps back when everyone's eyes were on him, looking nervous and overwhelmed. Ah, Leon, it's not that demon Leon, it's ...... Leon, you get the idea. So, he won't go to Newton, and now he's still an employee of Leo.
You'd think Mr. Morris would let Madison go when the focus shifts, no, "Staff, huh, I thought it was somebody who was eavesdropping on the class." Madison, you're interesting, after bringing your vampire boss over with you, did you bring another employee with you? What do you think this is?"
Madison took a deep breath, didn't have much more to say, and turned to leave his seat, which was about to go straight out.
As always, Morris's victory. He's enjoying the win, "Hmph, it's finally a little bit of a seed, go away, it's good, we're all adults." Looking at the other students, "We don't mind, we just appreciate that finally, the class can go back to its proper flow." "It's not like she's pretending to look up at my watch," and "let me be the three minutes I'm missing by Madison, and I don't exist." β
Need I repeat, Morris is a mean, bitter guy, in all sorts of ways.
Madison looked around his desk, his eyes under the brim of his hat gloomy at Mr. Morris. People, sometimes I really feel from the bottom of my heart that it's good to have a god, and you can accept this kind of person.
This glance was seen, and the three minutes were going to be extended.
"Are you provoking me, Madison? β
"Nope. Madison picked up the pace.
"It's not like there's nothing in your eyes. β
"Make your own summary, Mr. Morris, it's over. Madison continued to walk to the door irritably, and there was no point in fighting back, "You're the one who delays everyone's time, and you're all adults, right, then be an adult." β
"Okay!" Morris actually agreed with Madison, raising his voice, "Summary, why don't we have the 'symbol master' among us to make this summary! Do you people (students) know that Madison not only made his boss-" gesture with quotation marks, "symbolized" as a blood-sucking 'vampire', but also "symbolized" his subordinates, employees, and 'symbolized' into "demons" possessed by 'demons' and dragged people's souls from this world to hell. You all know Madison works in the funeral industry. Then, just then, here comes the ready-made exampleβ" Morris pointed to Madison, who had already walked to the door to meet Leon, "let Madison show us how his symbolism ......"
Finally, someone couldn't stand it, Ms. West, "Teacher, forget it......"
"West, don't speak, today, I want all of you to know what symbolism is really useful for your writing, and what is the meaningless fantasy of some delusional people!" Morris was firm, "Madison, please!" "Spread his hands and make a gesture of please, in the current situation, this 'please' should be full of sincerity, "Tell us why you wrote your staff as 'demons'!"
How does a person react when someone else misunderstands and the facts coincide. Look at Madison.
Madison pushed the briefcase to Leon, who was stunned, and turned around, "You know, Mr. Morris! You're right! I'm just delusional! All those bloodsucking, turning into wolves, seeing another self before I die, people in the mirror, demons possessing ordinary people, all of these are my delusions!"
It seems to have collapsed, and James's behavior is completely opposite-
"Are you happy?teacher?" Madison said, stretching his arms, "None of the 'strange' creatures I've ever written about don't exist! It's just my boring fantasies! There's no common characteristic, there's no logic, there's no pattern of behavior worth comparing, it's just my whims, it's not a writing skill, there's nothing meritorious, everyone! don't learn from me! satisfied?"
Morris responded, "It's simple. Turning around, he finally stopped looking at Madison, "Did you hear that?" "Enjoyment," Madison finally used a little, the symbol can't be divorced from reality, everyone understands, otherwise, it's delusional. That's a good summary, hehehe, get out of class. β
The sound of Madison's heavy breathing was immediately drowned out by the chaotic sound of tidying up, and the numb man was too lazy to give any sympathetic comfort, and Madison's West, the only one willing to come over to comfort him, was called to the podium by Morris, and the ghost knew what he was talking about, anyway, it must have been done on purpose by the mean guys.
"Mai, Madison......" Leon said.
"Give me five seconds!" replied Madison gloomily, standing in the hallway and breathing heavily, counting with his fingers very serious. Five, four, three......
The last breath came out with a white turbidity, "What's wrong?" β
"The people from Allen's funeral home are here. Leon's face was not good, there was a reason for being 'frightened' just now, and there was also - "I, I don't know what to do, everyone is looking at me, I, I, I ......" I said for a long time, "I'm not the ...... I used to be"
"Uh......" Madison's hand in the brim of his hat, clutching his frizzy head, "what does Alan want?"
"Deal. Leon uncomfortably avoided the gaze of the people who came out of the classroom, "Private deals." The person in charge said that Allen's funds need to be turnover, the cremation business is suspended, they have almost no income, and the business cooperation with Grande can only fill a small gap, and they need more, so they are ready to sell some unused reserves. β
Madison frowned, it should be conceivable, it's night, Allen's funeral home is going to the mill at this time, there must be nothing good, "What is he going to sell? β
"Well, there's a lot of other stuff." As he spoke, he began to dig into his pockets and took out a list, "This is the list they gave." Leon hesitated, "They also said that they can still make a deal with us, and they sell the purchase channel......"
When Maddison looked at Leon with a distorted face, Leon explained, in fact, for himself - "Allen said that the purchase price of various materials in our mill is twice as high as theirs, and if the mill is willing to help them this time, they are willing to be responsible for the mill's purchase channels in the future, so that the mill's future operating costs will be reduced by at least one-third, and then all they want is a cut for the next year, paid in one lump sum......"
Madison blew up, "What?!"
Leon shrank back in fright, "He, that's what they said...... "Here Aang, and Zeng Leon seem to be the complete opposite."
"*!" Madison swore directly, "Alan can be shameless to such a point??*! The high purchase price of the mill is what they raised!*!Now they are actually coming to make this kind of deal with me!*!*Allen!*them!"
Someone's looking, Madison's classmates. Unexpectedly, there was a little sympathy. But of course, no one asked.
Leon pursed his lips and glared at Madison as he continued to take a deep breath before a moment later, "What should I do......?"
"*Them!" The effect of the deep breath is just that.
"Madison ......"
"*Them!"
"Old, boss ......"
"*Them!"
"I, we should go to the big boss......" Leon said with some caution, because, "I, I don't know if this kind of thing should be done by you or go to Grande first, Zachary ......"
"*Them!*Zach!"
Madison immediately paid the price for accidentally injuring Zack's mouth, wait a minute, it doesn't seem to be a mistake, just like Madison had to put up with Morris in order to be friends with West, isn't the problem of the purchase price of the mill also caused by Zack. It doesn't matter anymore -
"Madison!" West punched his friend in the shoulder, "calm down! What's going on?"
Seeing that Madison's gloomy face didn't speak, West turned to Leon, who still had a band-aid on the back of his hand, "Don't pay attention to what our teacher said about the 'demons' that Madison wrote, he didn't target anyone, just a little, well, strictly ......" Probably because he also felt that Morris could not be whitewashed, West pursed his lips and gave up comfort, and turned back to Madison, "Don't take it to heart, you know the teacher, he is like that......"
Madison waved his hand, looking like he didn't want to mention it.
"Well......," West said, glancing at the almost-scattered hallway, "is there something wrong with the work? Do you need to rush back?"
Madison was silent for a moment, "No!" looked at Leon, "You go back and tell Allen's gang that we need time to think about it!"
Leon nodded, nodded to West, and said goodbye.
The rest of Madison and West started walking in the opposite direction of the exit - the craft classroom at the end of the hallway, where a bunch of fucking guys who were in 'rejection' mode were sharing writing topics, remember, Madison was going to touch West.
Leaning on Morris's mopping room, the students of the other evening classes had already walked away, and the corridor was quiet with only the footsteps of two people.
Probably to ease the atmosphere, West spoke, "What happened to Allen's funeral home?"
Madison walked a few steps in silence, and suddenly looked at West with an incomprehensible look, "How about you going out with Bane's wife in the afternoon?" β
"Oh, that's good. West had a smile, and there was something not so good about it, in her words, "She told me that the Allen Funeral Home not only depressed Grande's compensation in working with Grande, but also asked Grande for compensation for the employee's hospitalization. West shook his head, "She said that Alan had a restraining order, Zach couldn't get close to him, took the lawyer to Grande, messed around when Grande's master couldn't come back, and forced Louise to pay a bunch of inexplicable mental damage fees in addition to the cost of treatment. β
Madison's inscrutable look began to clear, "You remember what I told you before, Alan is too high for my mill's purchase price, right? And guess what? They're going to trade with me with this, let me buy through them, and they'll take a cut. β
"Uh......" West shook his head, "this, this is a bit excessive, how could Alan do such a sorry, shameless thing." β
"Yes, shameless people do shameless things. All the expression on Madison's face disappeared, and he walked to the front and opened the door for the lady, "I prayed, but unfortunately there is no God." β
"Hehehe. West laughed, because of course, she thought Madison was making her laugh.
When both of them changed their masks in the cloister and walked into the sharing group that had been working for a while.
The clown is laughing wildly -
"Do you believe in God? Haha! I do! Long story short! My friends! You should all see the news! Yes! Bishop is healed!" )
