We never stopped, just made detours from the city again and again.
Fortunately, the driver's skills were not bad, and we deliberately avoided many main roads, but we were not blocked on the road.
People who work in this blah blah blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
I have been in touch with Qin Yiheng and Bai Kai for a long time, but I don't think they are different.
But I haven't had much dealings with other people. This time I observed them carefully, and they were all weird.
Take the man in the windbreaker beside me as an example. I accidentally caught a glimpse of his windbreaker with many small pockets sewn into it, and each pocket seemed to be filled with something. It is hard to guarantee that you will not grind your thighs when you walk. If it is a normal person, just buy a bag and it will be over. And that Cantonese guy, I also found in the car that he was wearing a vest with gold thread inside his coat. What I call gold thread is made of real gold. This thing is priceless, and rich people in the world There are many, but I have never seen such willful ones.
I don't know where these people's eccentricities come from. I used to think that people like them were just trying to maintain a sense of mystery and make you feel awe.
Later, after I had been in the industry for a long time, I realized that many eccentricities are actually life-saving means.
This is probably the essence of the so-called metaphysics. Even an expert like Qin Yiheng can't explain the reasons for many things, but it works according to the method passed down from the ancestors. So I think that metaphysics is a sentence of warnings paid for by the predecessors with their lives and blood, which is similar to Shennong's taste of herbs. Tell you what disease this grass can cure, but no one can say why it can cure that disease. In the same way, it is the same principle to exorcise evil spirits and catch ghosts, avoid evil and recruit good luck.
A large part of the reason why I suddenly became so philosophical was because I was hungry.
The car never planned to stop, and it seemed that no one planned to go to eat.
I couldn't bear it anymore, so I asked the Cantonese guy, we can't stay in the car until late at night, can we? No pre-preparation
The Cantonese guy hummed, and said Eye-catching boy, we kept running to get rid of the smell on you, otherwise it would be easy for Mr. Qin to get in trouble.
After hearing this, I had no choice but to cover my stomach and sit comfortably. Now I can only sacrifice my stomach and take care of the overall situation.
Seeing the restaurants passing by one after another outside the window, I really hope that time will pass faster.
However, I feel that half a century has passed, and it only takes one hour to look at the watch.
Fortunately, I felt sleepy and took a few naps. When Bai Kai woke me up, it was finally past ten o'clock in the evening.
The car has stopped.
Through the car window, I saw a small four-story building. Very unremarkable, the exterior walls are very old. Probably a building from the last century.
Because I fell asleep before, I don't know exactly where I am now. This place seemed to be relatively desolate, and there was no traffic coming and going after staying for a long time.
Looking far away, we can see the shadows of several buildings. I guess we have not left Tianjin City.
The Cantonese guy opened the car door for me, holding a bunch of keys in his hand.
When I looked up, the whole small building was pitch-black, and there was no life at all.
If it was really a company, why would there be security guards on duty? Is this not afraid of being stolen
I paid special attention and didn't even look at the camera. This place is more like a haunted house.
I asked, how do we get in? The key in your hand won't open the door, can it
The Cantonese guy nodded with a smile. As a businessman, things that can be solved with money usually don't use effort. This bunch of keys is very valuable.
While talking, the Cantonese guy had already walked up the stairs, squatted down and fiddled with it, and really opened the big lock that was originally locked on the door of the building.
He pushed open the door and made a gesture of please. A few of us filed in.
It looks black from the outside, but it looks even darker from the inside.
Fortunately, there were so many people, the man in the windbreaker turned on a flashlight, and the place where the flashlight swept were all mottled white walls. The humidity in this building seems to be very heavy, and the wall skin has fallen off a lot, making the whole building even more dilapidated.
I said, what are you doing now? Do we split up or
There is no need to split up, just this one staircase. Bai Kai looked around, he didn't wear enough clothes, why is this place so cold
I also suddenly felt that the temperature inside the building was several degrees lower than outside. He couldn't help tightening his collar.
Let's go, let's explore the way first. The man in the windbreaker took a flashlight and looked towards the corridor beside him. I followed him closely. The first floor looked very old, but the layout was indeed designed according to the office building. There are many small offices in the corridor, and there are also nameplates such as the Human Resources Department on the door. It's a pity that all the doors are locked. The Cantonese's key does not include here, and we didn't dare to make too much noise, so we had to move towards the second floor.
When I first came in, I couldn't help being a little nervous, but when I got to the second floor, I got used to the low temperature here. People completely relaxed.
We discussed it, and just walked inside with a flashlight like this, which is actually not very hidden.
It's better to turn on the light generously, and it's also convenient to explore.
So Bai Kai stretched out his hand and turned on the light in the corridor on the second floor, which surprised everyone.
The first thing that catches the eye should be a lounge, which is made into a semi-enclosed structure with glass partitions. There are several sofas and coffee tables inside. It's quite clean, compared with the corridor outside, the contrast is quite big.
Of course, this is not what surprised us. What surprised us was that there were four paper cups placed upright on the coffee table at this time, which was very eye-catching.
Damn, the co-author knows that the four of us are coming? Bai Kai said in a low voice, the tea has been served, why don't you leave a pack of cigarettes
When I heard this, my heart tightened. Indeed, if someone else drank water here before, heard the sound and hid or called the police, it would be impossible. But how come there are four paper cups by such a coincidence? Or is it really the same as Bai Kai said? Are we hooked
Seeing that Bai Kai had already walked over, I hurriedly said no to move. I don't understand metaphysics, but anyone can see the trap. Maybe the water is poisonous.
Bai Kai waved his hand, it's not water, it's white wine! It seems to be a farewell wine, they want our brothers to go to the west!
The Cantonese immediately asked the man in the windbreaker, is there anything you have learned related to this
The man in the windbreaker shook his head, saying that I can try. He fumbled out a small whistle from the inner pocket of the windbreaker, dipped it in the white wine in the glass, and put the whistle in his mouth again.
I looked puzzled, can that thing test poison? Seeing the man in the windbreaker leaning on the sofa with his head tilted, he seemed to pass out.
Just as I was about to rush over, the Cantonese stopped me, eye-catching boy, this is their way of returning their vows, don't worry. He just fell asleep, and after a while the whistle sounded, he would wake up.
I had no choice but to stare at the face of the man in the windbreaker patiently. Xin said that this kung fu is really awesome, and fell asleep in a second! After thinking about it, I felt wrong again. Mom's whistle is in someone's mouth. Why does it sound after a while? Or do you mean Cantonese can whistle? Damn, isn't this calling people like dogs
I thought about it for a long time, but the man in the windbreaker slept very peacefully. motionless.
It took about two cigarettes before he sat up in a daze and patted his face.
Bai Kai quickly helped the man in the windbreaker up, how about it? What did you dream about
The man in the windbreaker shook his head, it was very blurry, he could only see a beach with many small crabs running away. The rest can't see anything.
I listened to the meaning between the lines in their words, and thought that all the mysteries just now were in a dream. Crabs and beaches? I thought to myself, could this be a reminder that crabs are delicious with wine? I shook my head. If I can think this way, I must be hungry at night.
The Cantonese guy was still very calm, smelling the aroma of the wine. Said that we can't delay too much, we are going to explore the road today, and we must finish the road exploration before twelve o'clock. You are all masters, so taking care of each other will not be a big problem. There are still two layers above, so we have to hurry up.
After finishing speaking, the Cantonese guy took the flashlight from the man in the windbreaker, and went to the corridor on the second floor by himself. The layout of this floor is the same as that of the downstairs, except that there are a lot of listings hanging on the wall of the corridor. This is not in line with the habits of intermediary companies. Because usually an intermediary company only serves a place or a region, so that it is convenient to show customers a house, and secondly, it is more targeted. What's more, this is the head office, not a business outlet that directly connects with customers, so there is absolutely no need to post listing information here.
After analyzing it, I understand it. These must be haunted houses. I have seen several of the listings above, but I didn't win them for various reasons. It seems that this company has really expanded its business, and even our industry has become so competitive, it really makes me want to cry.
After turning around, there was nothing on the second floor. I think that even if we go up, we can only see the offices of a few general managers or chairman. Nothing will be found.
Sure enough, the first room on the third floor is the financial office, and next to it are the offices of the managers. In the deepest part of the corridor on the third floor is the general manager's office. The door is also different from other rooms. I stood on tiptoe to look through the gap, but only got ashes on my nose.
I finally got to the top floor, and I was very excited to think that I would be able to eat in a while.
However, the four of us turned up the stairs and had to stop before we even stepped on the ground of the fourth floor.
Because the entrance to the stairs on the fourth floor has been sealed by an iron fence door welded with steel pipes, a wrist-thick iron chain hangs on the ground, and a large piece of red silk is attached to it. A big lock is bigger than a fist. Both are big.
Bai Kai shook the door, and the small bell hanging on the door tinkled slightly.
Xiao Que, does this look familiar to you? Bai Kai turned to me and said.
