The raindrops hit the umbrella, making crackling sounds that vibrated the eardrums, and Meng Shuyu's curses in his heart were as loud as firecrackers.
I had to work overtime for the weekend and finally found some time to get together with Chen Xing, but Zhou Jun asked me to go out.
He said that he hadn't slept all day and couldn't drive while tired, so he asked her to take him to the hotel to get some sleep.
She read the news and thought that Hou Renxu was probably exhausted, and Zhou Jun had been in a miserable state recently, so she had no choice but to ask Sister C to come over.
When I took a look, I saw that he had just come out of a coffee shop and didn't look like he was going to sleep at all.
It was obvious that he was exploiting her labor without wasting it.
So just now at the entrance of the coffee shop she couldn't help but say something in a roundabout way: "It's really raining at a bad time."
Then Zhou Jun replied to her: "This is not the first time you've been like this."
The rain that kicked off her social death on the first day she met Zhou Jun fell on her head again, catching her off guard.
Meng Shuyu was sullen and crossed the street with Zhou Jun to the side of the bus.
Zhou Jun walked her to the driver's side with an umbrella. After she got in the car, he walked around the back seat, folded the umbrella, and opened the door.
As soon as the car door was closed, the sound of rain was completely blocked out.
Meng Shuyu saw that the windshield was foggy, so he turned on the wipers and defogger to wait for the fog to clear. He glanced at Zhou Jun from the rearview mirror and said, "Mr. Zhou, I came here halfway through dinner with a friend."
Zhou Jun paused while brushing the rain off his sleeves: "So?"
"So I hope you are really sleepy, otherwise I will feel that my labor is completely worthless."
"How could that be? Didn't you see Jian Cheng just now?"
Meng Shuyu was stunned for a moment and turned around: "Is he also at the door?"
"You scumbag girls really forget things quickly. He was sitting by the window."
"Then I came to pick you up, so of course I only had my eyes on you..." Meng Shuyu rolled his eyes in his heart, "Why did he ask me to come when you were here?"
"You are my assistant. Isn't it heaven's duty to come pick me up?"
Meng Shuyu was still sorting out the logic behind this when Zhou Jun took over and said, "I would never let the girl I like drive all the way here in the rain."
"… "
It turned out that he had gone through this trouble to make it clear to Jian Cheng that she was just an employee that Zhou Jun casually called, not the girl he liked.
Well, since it needs to be explained, this clarification is indeed very useful.
Not to mention Jian Cheng, even she, the person involved, found it very credible.
"Why," Zhou Jun looked at her cold eyes, "you were anxious to end it this afternoon, but now you're unhappy after it's over?"
"Why am I unhappy?"
"What's that expression?"
“This is the expression I make when I’m happy.”
Meng Shuyu finished speaking word by word, turned around, gripped the steering wheel, started the car, and stepped on the accelerator.
Meng Shuyu sent Zhou Jun to Xiangting and booked an executive suite for him according to the company's standards. After that, he went to the hotel conference room with nothing to do and continued to screen resumes with his colleagues. He was busy until late at night before returning to his standard room.
The next day, Meng Shuyu continued to follow up on the campus recruitment matters in Nanhuai.
Zhou Jun stayed in Nanhuai for a few more days because his grandfather was still in the observation period and could not leave.
On Tuesday evening, Meng Shuyu finished his work and was about to return to Hangzhou when he asked about Zhou Jun's arrangements.
I heard that his grandfather had just passed the critical period and was transferred to the general ward this afternoon, and he planned to stay with him and leave at night.
Meng Shuyu calculated that by waiting for a few hours he could avoid the pain of taking the subway, transferring to the high-speed rail and then taking a taxi, so he decided to take another free ride.
It was already past nine o'clock in the evening when Zhou Jun came out of the hospital.
Ren Xu was driving, and Meng Shuyu reported the campus recruitment situation to Zhou Jun on the way, and sorted out the work arrangements for the remaining three days of the week with him.
Busy all the way to the suburbs of Hangzhou.
Nearing twelve o'clock, Ren Xu drove the car to Meng Shuyu's apartment building and parked her car first.
Meng Shuyu was extremely sleepy after talking about work for a long time. He felt even more depressed when he had to get up early for work the next day. He said to Zhou Jun in a listless manner that he would see him tomorrow, got into the car with his handbag, and entered the elevator yawning.
I went up to the seventh floor and opened the fingerprint lock of the apartment door. As soon as I opened the door, a sour and stinky smell suddenly hit my nose.
Meng Shuyu wrinkled his nose in surprise, turned on the light in the entrance hall and walked inside.
I turned my head as I passed through the entrance, and my feet suddenly stopped.
The originally clean white walls of the living room were splattered with large patches of dark red liquid, making the entire wall a mess.
At twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, this shocking wall and the stench that fills the air...
Meng Shuyu didn't consider himself a timid person, but he took a step back in horror for a moment.
But compared to the supernatural events, she soon realized what she should be more worried about: Could this be a prank
She had been away from home for five days, so she wouldn't have entered this apartment.
It is even possible that it is hiding in this house.
When Meng Shuyu was working in Nanhuai, he lived with his parents and did not have much experience of living alone.
But in the company, I heard many girls who rent houses talk about the terrifying things they experienced.
Now looking at the bedroom, bathroom and balcony shrouded in darkness, it seemed as if a pair of eyes might be hidden everywhere.
Meng Shuyu's heart was pounding, and he ran out, slammed the apartment door, got into the elevator and pressed C for the first floor. With shaking hands, he searched for his cell phone in his handbag, and it took him several tries before he successfully took it out.
I unlocked the door in a hurry, but before I could make a call, the elevator had already reached the first floor.
The elevator door moved open, and Meng Shuyu saw Zhou Jun's car parked outside the building with its taillights still on. Without time to think about why he didn't leave, he ran over and knocked on the rear window.
The car window was lowered, and Meng Shuyu breathed a sigh of relief as if he had seen a savior. He held onto the window sill and panted, "Zhou Jun, my family, my family seems to have entered..."
Zhou Jun unbuckled his seat belt and the car came around: "What's going on?"
Meng Shuyu spoke incoherently about going into the house to give birth.
Ren Xu, who was in the driver's seat, followed C: "Has Assistant Meng offended anyone recently?"
"I, I don't know, I don't think so..."
Zhou Jun frowned and Ren Xu raised his chin: "Go up and take a look."
"Forget it!" Meng Shuyu and Zhou Jun shook their heads, "If there is someone hiding inside, why not call the police..."
Ren Xu: "No, if that were true, you wouldn't come..."
Meng Shuyu shuddered.
Zhou Jun tilted his head and glanced at Ren Xu.
Realizing that this scared Meng Shuyu, Ren Xu quickly changed his words: "I mean, I'm a grown man and I'm fine. Just tell me the password."
"Password..." Meng Shuyu usually uses fingerprint to unlock, so he is not very familiar with the password, not to mention his mind went blank and he hesitated for a long time without saying it.
"Don't worry, take your time, I—" Zhou Jun paused, "Assistant Ren and I are here, what are you afraid of?"
Meng Shuyu nodded, looked at Zhou Jun's calm face, his heartbeat calmed down, and reported a string of numbers to Ren Xu.
Ren Xu remembered and went upstairs.
Zhou Anjing came.
Meng Shuyu held the phone in his hand blankly, looking in the direction of the elevator, breathing in the air he had survived the disaster.
It's late at night in early autumn and it's already chilly at this point.
Zhou Jun glanced at the sweat on her forehead and opened the back door: "Get in first."
Meng Shuyu shook his head: "I'll stay outside for a while to get some fresh air. The smell is really too..."
Zhou Jun picked up the suit jacket from the back seat and handed it to her: "Then put it on."
Meng Shuyu looked at him, said "Oh", then shook out his suit and put it on his shoulders.
The coat still had a little warmth left, and the cold sweat on Meng Shuyu's body was slowly dried up by being wrapped in it. He came back to his senses and asked, "It's been so long, why are you still in my building C?"
Zhou Jun looked up at the seventh floor: "Ren Xu said that the lights in your living room are not on yet, and he is worried. Wait until they are on before leaving."
Meng Shuyu touched his nose embarrassedly: "Assistant Ren is really nice. Fortunately, he was careful, otherwise I might still be lost right now."
"so so."
"?"
"It's just an occupational disease that drivers develop after working for a long time. It's just basic quality."
"Oh," Meng Shuyu figured out some criticism from the words "basically" and "just", "Then I'm really not as good as him. I should be more careful when I become a driver next time."
"."
A series of loud vibrations broke the silence.
Zhou Jun picked up his phone and clicked on the message.
Ren Xu: Mr. Zhou, I'm a little unsure about the situation in this room. How about you come up and take a look
Ren Xu: What I mean is, it’s actually nothing, but I was wondering if you need help with anything Assistant Meng needs at home
Zhou Jun slowly turned his head to look at Meng Shuyu.
"Have you found out what that is?" Meng Shuyu leaned over to take a look.
Zhou Juan turned off the screen: "Not yet, I'll go up there too."
"Hey..." Meng Shuyu grabbed his shirt and looked up at him, "Then I'm alone here."
Zhou Jun lowered his eyes and looked at her for a while, then took out his phone and replied: I can't leave, you can do whatever you want.
A quarter of an hour later, Ren Xu ran out in a panic.
"Boss Zhou, Assistant Meng, this is really weird," Ren Xu ran over in a hurry, "I was scared to death!"
"Isn't it?" Meng Shuyu met his soulmate. "The color is a bit like blood, but it doesn't smell bloody. I have never smelled such a disgusting smell in my life."
Ren Xu nodded: "I have searched every corner of the house. It is definitely not hidden in the house. You can rest assured about this, but I think the things on the wall are not simple."
"Then why don't we call the police or contact the property management?"
"Do you know what time it is?" Zhou Jun glanced at her, "Are you going to work tomorrow?"
Meng Shuyu glanced at his cell phone.
It's indeed faster.
If we have to call the police, we will have to work all night and won’t be able to sleep.
Meng Shuyu curled his lips: "Then what do you say we should do?"
Zhou Jun: "I'll vacate a guest room for you first, and then find another one tomorrow."
