021. Business trip

When Zhang Siyi got home that night, it was almost ten o'clock. Search: \(????) Watch fine literature for free

On the subway just now, he received the booking information from the personnel department for the flight at 7:05 in the morning.

He threw himself on the bed, with a particularly unreal feeling... This morning he was still struggling with how to talk to Gu Xiao about changing his job content, but tomorrow morning he will go on a business trip with Gu Xiao!

The phone buzzed, and Zhang Siyi saw that it was a text message from a stranger. Just as he was about to delete it as a spam message, he caught a glimpse of the content above - "Remember to be at the airport 45 minutes early, don't be late."

Zhang Siyi was stunned for a moment, then sat up quickly, and pulled out the business card that Gu Xiao gave him during the interview. After comparing it, it turned out to be Gu Xiao's number!

He immediately replied "understood", saved the other party in the address book, and signed the other party's name in a proper manner, Gu Xiao.

Arrive at the airport 45 minutes early, which means that he has to arrive at least before 6:20. Including the subway time, he has to get up at the latest at 5:10... Nima!

Zhang Siyi, who calculated the time, didn't dare to linger any more, found the camera to charge the battery, and went to the bathroom to take a quick shower.

While taking a shower, he thought of another question: How long will this trip to the base take? The project time is so urgent, can they come back on the same day

After returning to the bedroom, Zhang Siyi grabbed his phone and sent a text message to Gu Xiao: "Are we going to spend the night outside?"

After five or six minutes, the other party replied, "At least one night."

Zhang Siyi: "…"

If it's just one night, he'll be done, "at least" one night, then he'll have to bring a change of clothes!

Zhang Siyi found a pair of clean underwear and a t-shirt and stuffed it into his bag. After thinking about it, if he was in the same room as Gu Xiao, he wouldn't be able to take a shower wearing briefs, so he brought another one to wear when sleeping. Big panties.

Packing up and lying in bed, Zhang Siyi was exhausted after a busy day, but his brain was getting excited about the first business trip in his life, tossing and turning, and he couldn't fall asleep.

It was past twelve o'clock, and Zhang Siyi habitually turned on his phone and swiped his Moments, feeling a little bored.

With a slight movement of his thumb, Zhang Siyi entered Gu Xiao's mobile phone number on the search page. After checking it, it was actually there!

The avatar is a calligraphy brush character "Gu", which seems to be the same font as the "Ningzhiyuan" that Gu Xiao hangs in the office, it should be Gu Xiao.

Zhang Siyi hesitated for a moment, then boldly clicked Add. After a while, the information page showed that they were friends and could start chatting.

But Gu Xiao passed the verification and had no other reaction.

Zhang Siyi's heart was beating violently, thinking that he had added his boss's WeChat, so he should say hello first, so he sent a sentence: "Aren't you asleep yet?"

Gu Xiao: "I'll check some information, why don't you sleep? Are you still browsing the Moments?"

Zhang Siyi: "...No, I'm about to sleep."

Gu Xiao: "Okay, don't play anymore, go to sleep, I'm going to run all day tomorrow, don't cry with me when you don't have enough energy now."

Zhang Siyi: "..." He shouldn't have added Gu Xiao's WeChat! In reality, it's venomous enough! Don't let him go on WeChat! tat

After saying good night, Zhang Siyi lay down for a while with his eyes closed, but he still didn't fall asleep, the gossip factor in his mind was just about to move - he just added Gu Xiao's WeChat, and he didn't know what was in the other party's circle of friends.

He picked up the phone again, indented the bed, and sneakily opened Gu Xiao's avatar.

With a hasty brush, Zhang Siyi's hopes were dashed. There are very few statuses that the other party has sent, most of which are just reposted articles related to architectural design, and the only ones related to personal are only twice. Once a year and a half ago, Gu Xiao took a picture of a wild cat on the side of the road, describing it as a "cute kitten" and could not tell the other party's mood and state; the second time was half a year ago, he posted a photo of a cactus, At that time, the big ball and the small ball were still glued together, and Gu Xiao described them as "new life".

Zhang Siyi twitched the corners of his mouth, turned off his phone, and fell asleep.

The next morning at 5 o'clock, Zhang Siyi was woken up by the alarm on his mobile phone. He got up and washed his face in pain. He didn't have time to talk to Fu Xinhui and the others, so he hurried out the door.

At 6:10 in the morning, Gu Xiao called Zhang Siyi and asked him where he was.

"I'm out of the subway! I'll be there soon!" Zhang Siyi grabbed his mobile phone and walked out of the subway, but he was unlucky. He was able to arrive on time. As a result, the subway airport was just under maintenance and construction, and it was a mess outside.

Gu Xiao seemed to hear the sound of Zhang Siyi's stumbling walking, and instructed: "Walk along the deformation seam on the ground, and turn right at the end."

Zhang Siyi: "???"

He didn't understand at all. Zhang Siyi didn't have the face to ask in detail. He followed the temporary sign and ran for a while, and finally saw the entrance of the airport. During this period, he didn't hang up: "It's here! Where are you?"

Gu Xiao: "I'm at the 'departure floor', at the junction of area c and area d."

Fortunately, Zhang Siyi was familiar with the airport and rushed to the location as quickly as possible, and saw Gu Xiao there from a distance.

Gu Xiao was wearing a windproof jacket today, a black shirt inside, a khaki pinstripe autumn scarf around his neck, and Nece's retro black casual shoes. call. It doesn't look like an architect, but a college student.

Zhang Siyi waved his hand vigorously at him and rushed over quickly.

Gu Xiao put away his mobile phone, and frowned slightly after waiting. The two hurriedly stepped on the dot to go to check-in.

After a morning of fighting, Zhang Siyi sat down, and his whole body stopped moving, his calf cramped, and a layer of sweat appeared on his back. It wasn't until the stewardess pushed the cart to distribute breakfast and drank a cup of instant hot coffee that he felt a little relieved.

Gu Xiao took off the scarf and asked slowly, "What did you want to say to me yesterday afternoon?"

Zhang Siyi was stunned for a moment, then realized that Gu Xiao was asking about the conversation they couldn't continue yesterday.

He was a little guilty, but in fact, after what happened last night, he had no face to tell Gu Xiao. That little sense of self-expansion was wiped out by the stimulation of colleagues from all walks of life. Everyone is stronger than him, everyone is more capable than him, and he is more diligent and hard-working. What qualifications does he have to pick and choose

Zhang Siyi shook his head and made a random excuse to prevaricate it.

Gu Xiao didn't continue to ask questions. After a while, he suddenly said, "I saw your Moments on the subway today."

Zhang Siyi was taken aback, how could Gu Xiao look at himself? He desperately recalled, he didn't post anything strange, did he? Would the photo of the work package posted a few days ago be a bit silly

Unexpectedly, Gu Xiao said: "You have been to many places."

"Uh..." Indeed, he went to several countries in Europe before returning to China, and also took pictures and posted them in the circle of friends, but with the frequency of his messages, it took a long time to read the content of a few months ago. Gu Xiao is Did you rummage through his circle of friends? Zhang Siyi laughed dryly and said, "It's just walking around."

"Is there really a turtle under the porch column of the Sagrada Familia?" Gu Xiao asked.

"Yes, a sea turtle, a tortoise." Zhang Siyi thought of the shock when he first saw the cathedral in Spain, and was a little excited, and said a lot to Gu Xiao, saying that the facades are complicated, the columns inside the church of grandeur.

Gu Xiao listened to him carefully and smiled: "It seems that I remember quite a lot, not counting the flowers."

Zhang Siyi was a little speechless, so Gu Xiao was investigating him just now

Gu Xiao added: "Although most of the content is very boring, the photos you took are quite beautiful, and the composition ratios are well captured."

Zhang Siyi: "…"

Gu Xiao turned around and said, "However, to be honest, you're not very photogenic, and selfies are silly, so don't take selfies in the future."

Zhang Siyi: "..." (= dish=)

Gu Xiao: "Also, I found that your frequency of posting on Moments has decreased recently. It seems that it would be beneficial for you to work more overtime."

Zhang Siyi is so angry, is it too much to post on the Moments? Why does Elder Gu Xiao talk about this? It's not yet time for work, why does he have to endure Gu Xiaojie's endless poisonous tongue!

He couldn't help but fight back: "I also looked at your circle of friends."

Gu Xiao raised his eyebrows: "Oh?"

Zhang Siyi: "Apart from work, do you have no personal life at all?"

He concluded through the content of Gu Xiao's circle of friends that this person is either very privacy-conscious or boring.

Gu Xiao glanced at him sideways, and asked with a half-smile, "What do you want to know about my private life?"

Zhang Siyi came here to complain, but he didn't expect to be criticized so much, and he couldn't answer for a while: "Whatever, whatever, I thought you would post something unrelated to work."

Gu Xiao nodded: "Yes, but you can't see it."

Zhang Siyi was stunned for a while, and it took him a while to react. Could it be that Gu Xiao's circle of friends has set up groups

Sure enough, Gu Xiao explained: "Private life is private, of course it can only be shown to close people. You are not my close person, why should I let you know what I am like in private?"

Zhang Siyi was stunned and speechless, Gu Xiao drew the line between the two with a simple sentence, isolating him from the other's life.

Yeah, what about even the alumni of the same high school, they just know their boss and subordinate for less than two months.

Zhang Siyi was speechless and sat there blankly, feeling a strange sense of loss in his heart.

Gu Xiao saw that he was silent, and after a minute, he said euphemistically: "I also advise you to stop posting some meaningless clothing, food, shelter and travel on social media, except your mother, I think no one will remember the Chinese food you ate a week ago. Whether it is vegetable buns or beef noodles. Life is not for others to see, and frequent posting of life status can only show that you have a serious lack of self-identity.”

Zhang Siyi: "…"

Is this comforting? Why is he not only not feeling comfortable, but even more depressed? tat

The conversation ended here, Gu Xiao leaned on the seat and closed his eyes. The three-hour flight, the two of them got up too early in the morning, and the micro-vibration of the plane brought people to sleep.

It wasn't until the announcer reminded the plane to land that Zhang Siyi woke up leisurely, he found himself leaning on Gu Xiao's shoulder at some point and drooling over his arm.

At that time, Gu Xiao had already woken up, and was calmly flipping through the magazines on the plane, Zhang Siyi sat up in horror.

Gu Xiao looked at him and said leisurely: "I found that you are very keen on soiling my clothes. It's either coffee or vomiting. Now you're even drooling. Is there anything else in the future?" The young man's deep voice was inexplicable. The magnetism, there is still a hint of smile in the tone, but I don't know whether it is sarcasm or ridicule.

No matter when, Gu Xiao's poisonous tongue attribute always exists, the difference is that sometimes it makes Zhang Siyi angry, and sometimes it makes him blush.

Zhang Siyi whispered "I'm sorry" and hurriedly took a tissue to wipe for him.

Sleeping on his boss's shoulder with a drooling face, if Bi Lele and the others knew about it, he would be embarrassed.

Gu Xiao didn't want to continue talking about him, got off the plane, and the two took a car and went straight to the scene.

On the way, Gu Xiao casually chatted with the driver and asked him if he knew if the government was planning to plan the area in the Eastern New Town. The driver's master nodded, and his words included a little Hokkien: "Wow boy (know), I let it go on the TV news."

Gu Xiao: "Then do you know what to build on this land?"

Driver: "Wow boy (don't know), we ordinary people don't understand about development, just have a house to live in."

Gu Xiao jokingly asked: "If you build a house on that land, do you think it will be good?"

The driver smiled and shook his head: "No, no, there is a leading port there. It rains frequently and floods often, so it's not safe to live there."

Gu Xiao froze, took out a black moleskine pocket design from the jacket, and continued to ask while recording.

Zhang Siyi took out the camera and hung it around his neck, adjusted the shutter and sensitivity, and took a picture of the road the car passed by.

Sure enough, the topography of the site is very different from the photos he found on the Internet before. Many houses around the site have been demolished, and some unknown buildings have been built in some areas.

I took a general lap first, and the two got out of the car. I don’t know if it was due to the local climate. The weather was a bit humid and gloomy.

Two hundred and fifty hectares of land, it takes half an hour for a taxi to go around in and out. If you go by yourself, you don't know how long it will take!

Gu Xiao opened the map on his mobile phone and took Zhang Siyi to the inside of the venue without hesitation.

There are a large number of residential houses waiting to be demolished at the site, the internal roads are muddy and potholes, the routes are chaotic, and the living environment and living style are very poor.

Although Z City is a second-tier city, the level of development here is not up to the standard, no wonder it needs planning and development.

After walking for more than two hours, Zhang Siyi has been taking pictures. Gu Xiao occasionally stopped to chat with the nearby citizens to understand the situation. Most of the questions he asked were similar to asking a taxi driver.

After finally taking pictures from the southern border to the northern border, Zhang Siyi was so tired that his mouth was dry and his legs were sore.

It's not because of his poor physical strength. When he and Fu Xinhui were traveling outside, they didn't feel tired after a long day, but what they're doing now is completely different from traveling.

Gu Xiao saw that he was weak, looked at the time, and asked, "Are you hungry?"

"Hungry! Hungry!" Zhang Siyi's eyes lit up, he touched his stomach with a thirsty look on his face, waiting for Gu Xiao to deliver food. Can you finally rest? Can you eat something good on a business trip

Gu Xiao looked around and saw a sesame cake stand not far away. He bought two sesame cakes and handed one to Zhang Siyi: "Eat, eat and continue to shoot."

Zhang Siyi: "…"

Only now did he realize that the phrase "don't cry" that Gu Xiao said yesterday was no longer a joke, he really wanted to cry now!

No wonder Gu Xiao said last night that no one objected to taking him on a business trip, but everyone was a little relieved, but he was a fool who thought it was a tight job, and was excited for most of the night—what the hell is a designer capable of? ? It's more tiring than a ox pulling a plow!

The two squatted on the side of the road like migrant workers, eating biscuits with the mineral water brought from the plane.

Zhang Siyi glanced at Gu Xiao, wondering why this person was so calm in this environment.

Gu Xiao ate slowly and didn't speak. He seemed to be thinking. After eating, he continued to write something in the notes. When Zhang Siyi was better, he continued to walk with him.

The two arrived at the leading port that the driver said. As expected, due to frequent flooding, the ground water system is too developed. Although there is no rain, there are many potholes and water accumulation as far as the eye can see.

Moreover, as the most important water system in the region, the water quality of this leading port is extremely bad. It is dark and oily, with all kinds of garbage and phytoplankton floating in it, which shows that the pollution is serious.

Zhang Siyi took some pictures, and a heavy feeling came up.

I can't say what kind of heavy it is, but I always feel that it is very different from the cold photo processing after I found a bunch of live photos on the Internet yesterday.

At that time, he seemed to be a bystander separated by a distant time and space, and just regarded the project as a task within the obligation; but now, he has an urge to do something from the bottom of his heart.

Maybe it was the hopeful gaze in the eyes of the residents just now, maybe it was the flooded and dirty water, or maybe it was the exhaustion all over his body that made him feel that he was no longer just an outsider.

Gu Xiao called the people in the company on the edge of the dilapidated river bank, and seemed to be arranging for the boss of the landscape planning department to come and see the scene.

After hanging up the phone, the two continued to walk. From the time they got off the plane to five or six o'clock in the evening, they didn't even have a rest except for the ten minutes they ate biscuits.

After walking non-stop for a day, I finally took all the photos of the venue before it got dark. Zhang Siyi's camera battery was completely exhausted at the last minute.

When getting into the taxi to the hotel, Zhang Siyi felt that his legs were no longer his own.

Gu Xiao searched on his mobile phone, asked the driver to drive to the old city, and picked a budget hotel in the most lively part of the city center to take Zhang Siyi to check in.

Zhang Siyi complained in his heart, Wujing is not short of money, why did Gu Xiao even choose such a cheap place to live, can't they live in a better place after a long day of tiring

Because the location of the hotel is good, the price is high, and there are no vacancies. I came to Gu Xiao to book two single rooms, but was told that there were no more, only standard rooms.

Well, it's really getting together!

Entering the room and putting down things, Zhang Siyi wanted to fall on the bed closest to him, but he was dizzy, and he rushed forward as soon as his legs softened. On the ground, there were still two weak scratches on the sheets.

Gu Xiao was amused by Zhang Siyi's death.

The author has something to say: He ordered: "Take a break, and take you out to eat something delicious later."
