Note: He has a long history of mental illness and is receiving psychological treatment.

"What's the problem?"

Shen Qiu was very sensitive and caught the change in Zhang Yue's expression, and asked calmly.

Zhang Yue put his resume aside and spoke to Shen Qiu seriously.

"Mr. Shen Qiu, your resume is excellent. And your hobbies are also very consistent with the position you are applying for as a security guard. After all, having a strong physique and reaction is the basic requirement for a security guard. Unfortunately, however, your resume clearly states that you have a history of mental illness. We cannot hire a mentally unstable person."

"I'm in good shape now, no problem."

Shen Qiu was silent for a while, then spoke.

"Mr. Shen Qiu, whether your condition is good or not is not up to you and me. If you want to get this job, you must have a professional mental health institution and produce a diagnosis certificate of recovery, otherwise I can't help you."

Zhang Yue said to Shen Qiu with great regret.

"I understand. Thank you!"

Shen Qiu immediately stood up and replied calmly.

"Well, that concludes the interview. I look forward to the opportunity to work with you."

Zhang Yue ended the interview with a smile.

Shen Qiu nodded slightly and then walked out the door.

Zhang Yue looked at Shen Qiu's back as he left, then looked down at the resume in his hand, a look of regret on his face.

A moment later, Shen Qiu walked out of Shengyuan Building.

"Alas~ failed again."

Shen Qiu also had a headache because this mental history had caused him a lot of trouble.

At this time, the cold wind with drizzle hit Shen Qiu's face, but it took away a trace of boredom.

Then Shen Qiu slowly opened his umbrella and walked towards the nearest subway entrance.

Along the way, there were passers-by going home from get off work, and everyone was chatting in a relaxed manner.

"What do you think we're having for dinner tonight?"

"There seems to be a new restaurant opened on Xika Street. I heard the food is very good. You can try it."

"I've heard of that store, too. It has a good reputation, but the prices are a bit high. And the differences with the Blue Alliance have intensified recently, and the economy is not doing well. Isn't it too extravagant?"

"The economy is bad, but we still have to eat."

Shen Qiu turned his head and glanced at the passers-by who were talking, then retracted his gaze and continued walking towards the subway entrance.

A few minutes later, Shen Qiu arrived at the subway entrance. There were two escalators for passengers to go in and out, and the flow of people was very dense.

Shen Qiu closed his umbrella and followed the crowd down the escalator.

When he arrived at the bottom area, he saw the security entrance, which was equipped with detection equipment.

Anyone carrying prohibited items will trigger an alarm when passing through. At the entrance, there are two guards on duty.

Shen Qiu calmly followed the crowd through the security checkpoint and entered the station. Then three forks appeared in front of him, leading to different subway line platforms.

Shen Qiu walked towards the Line 3 platform. There were advertising screens on both sides of the passage, playing various advertisements.

Few people stopped to watch. After all, everyone had just finished a day of intense work, and they were exhausted both physically and mentally, so most people wanted to go home quickly.

Not long after, Shen Qiu arrived at the waiting platform, and the screen on the platform showed.

"There is still 1 minute and 32 seconds until the train arrives at the station. Dear passengers, please be ready to board!"

As the timer ended, a hundred-meter-long subway train stopped at the platform as scheduled.

The carriages opened one after another, and dense crowds of people walked out.

Shen Qiu stood quietly aside, looking at the vast sea of people, as if everything was familiar to him.

A moment later, Shen Qiu boarded the subway train. There were many passengers in the car at this time, but it was not very noisy. Most of the passengers were either listening to music with headphones on and resting on the back of the chair, or quietly processing documents on their computers. Some passengers who were traveling in groups also kept their voices down when talking.

Didi~

The subway train doors slowly closed and a sweet broadcasting voice sounded.

"Dear passengers, the train is about to depart. The next stop is Haiwen Street..."

Shen Qiu found a place to sit down, put his umbrella aside, leaned back in his chair, took out his cell phone, and started checking the news.

As soon as I opened the interface, I saw a striking headline: The seventh round of economic negotiations between the Red Alliance and the Blue Alliance had failed again due to differences of opinion.

The number of messages on the message board is also increasing at a rate of hundreds per second.

"This Blue Alliance is too overbearing."

"If we can't come to an agreement, then forget it! It's as if I can't live without someone."

Just when Shen Qiu was engrossed in reading, a text message suddenly popped up.

"13180 hours, 23 minutes, 12 seconds, about one year and three months. This is the time between our separation. My heart is like a withered flower longing for rain. I look forward to seeing you all the time. My eyes are full of you. There is no room for anything else. See you at Maple Restaurant at 12:30 tomorrow afternoon. See you there~"

Shen Qiu took a look expressionlessly, then put away his phone, slowly raised his head to look at his own reflection on the train window, and fell into deep thought.

Half an hour later, Shen Qiu walked out of the subway exit holding an umbrella and looked over.

Surrounding it are dozens of storey high buildings and shopping malls, and the streets are even more crowded.

"Alas, the prosperity cannot accommodate my lonely heart."

At this moment, Shen Qiu looked at the scene of feasting and revelry in front of him and sighed with deep emotion, feeling indescribably lonely in his heart.

The city where Shen Qiu is located is the central city of the third administrative district of the Hongmeng Alliance, the City of Clear Sky, and the location where he is currently standing is the South Seventh Ring Road of the City of Clear Sky.

The entire Clear Sky City is divided into ten rings. The innermost areas are more prosperous, have better supporting facilities, and relatively higher prices.

Shen Qiu walked along the street and after about 700 meters he arrived at the entrance of a residential area.

The eye-catching name "Xiangfeng Xiaoyuan" is written in gold paint on the gate of the community.

An uncle in security uniform greeted Shen Qiu with a smile on his face.

"Mr. Shen, you are back."

"Um."

Shen Qiu nodded slightly and walked in. The community is full of 30-story buildings, with a very high density, a total of 32 buildings, and all of them have a two-elevator, five-unit structure, and the internal greening barely reaches the minimum. And the external buildings are adjacent to the night market street, which is very noisy.

Of course, don't think that this place is very far outside the Seventh Ring Road and the quality of the community is also average. But you should know that the area outside the Tenth Ring Road of the City of Clear Sky is not an empty suburb, but a large number of residential areas.

Therefore, the housing price here is more than 10,000 per square meter, which is relatively expensive. The house Shen Qiu bought here is just a small suite with two bedrooms, one living room and one bathroom of 89 square meters.

And the reason why he can afford it is that he has participated in extreme events for many years and received massive sponsorship and project clearance bonuses.

Of course, Shen Qiu did not use all the money he earned to buy a house. A large part of it was used to purchase professional equipment, and another part was used to donate to orphanages and to collect the bodies and deal with the aftermath of the companions who unfortunately died in the club.

After all, not every comrade can get the support of their family and relatives. In many cases, when a comrade dies, no one searches for the body. As the team leader, Shen Qiu will pay for professionals to search for the body out of his own pocket.

The cost is also very high, so Shen Qiu doesn't have much money left.

Not long after, Shen Qiu returned to the door of room 404. He stretched out his hand and pressed the fingerprint lock to verify his fingerprint.

Click!

The moment the recognition was passed, the door opened automatically.

Shen Qiu walked in and then closed the door.

The curtains in the room were drawn and the light was very dim. He raised his hand and lightly touched the switch.

In an instant the living room lit up.

Soon a shocking scene came into view. I saw more than sixty black and white photo frames hanging on the clean and tidy living room walls.
