Views:

Zhao Liang finished posting on the Moments, and on the way back he read over and over again in disbelief what Wei Xi gave him, and confirmed that the book was indeed "Introduction to the Basic Principles of Marxism". There was nothing in it, it couldn't be more ordinary, and there was even a test center drawn with a highlighter, which looked very much like the textbook Wei Xi used to use.

Zhao Liang looked at the huge text on the cover and fell silent. After a long time, he thought uncertainly, was he really deceived

Buy this for nearly four thousand dollars

But this guess came to his mind, but it was very untenable. After all, the conclusion Weixi had calculated for him just now was really inconceivably accurate, so much so that when he remembered those words, he was still counting down the hairs, and it was difficult to calm down. What kind of commercial spy would go to his side to find out that he was sick, his father died, and even fell down when he was five years old, just to cheat a few thousand dollars? I'm afraid it's not a fool.

After thinking about it, Zhao Liang couldn't come up with a clue. In desperation, he had no choice but to stuff the inexplicable textbook into his bag and go about his business.

As an entrepreneur, the work he usually has to deal with is already overwhelming, not to mention that he was ill for more than half a month before, and he has saved a lot of old business, so after the last business entertainment, the weather outside is dark. It has already reached the willow shoots on the moon.

The business partners sent him out of the restaurant. Seeing that his driver was not around, they asked a few doubts. Zhao Liang smiled and stretched out his hand to take a taxi: "Anyway, it's the Golden Week, and Xiao Liu also wants to accompany his girlfriend. I'll let him go back early. already."

He hadn't traveled alone for many years. When he got off the car at the gate of the community, he glanced at the gloomy sky above his head and thought it would be good to walk back and blow the evening breeze.

Not to mention, the evening wind today is really cool, not like an autumn tiger at all.

The sky above was too dark to see the stars, and it looked like it was about to rain. Zhao Liang gathered up his suit jacket and walked in the direction of his house familiarly. This villa area is located in the south of the Second Ring Road, where every inch of land is expensive. It has been developed very carefully, and the green coverage rate is very high. It was because of this that he chose to buy it.

The night wind rustled the trees around him. He looked up comfortably and admired the swaying branches and leaves under the street lamp. As he walked, he suddenly felt something was wrong.

The road is a little too long, isn't it

His villa is not far from the gate of the community. Usually, it takes only a minute or two to drive back and forth from the garage at a speed of more than ten yards. But now he has been walking for more than ten minutes, but he has never seen the courtyard gate that he is familiar with. .

Zhao Liang turned around to take a look. The security guard booth he had just passed by was no longer visible. He took out his mobile phone and showed that the time was 11:35 in the middle of the night.

Everything was silent, except for the rustling of leaves, not even the chirping of insects, as if he was the only living creature left in the world.

There was some subtle unease in his heart, and after holding it back, he walked forward for a while, finally determined that this was not an illusion, and immediately wanted to call home. Unexpectedly, no one answered the phone at all, and even after changing several people, they only waited until they hung up automatically. Zhao Liang stared at the phone that was about to beep again and was about to scold these people for not answering the phone in the middle of the night without knowing where they died.

At eleven thirty-five, he tossed for so long, but time didn't jump back for a minute.

At that moment, the indescribable chill filled his limbs and limbs. He jolted for a while, and even the sky was cold. He was stunned for two seconds, then turned around and ran backwards.

However, this road seems to have no end. Not only can I not get to the door in front of me, but I don't even know where the security booth that I passed by just now went.

No matter how calm he was in the mall, Zhao Liang was inevitably terrified by this strange scene. He yelled at the security guard, but the only one who responded to his footsteps and shouts was Ye Feng, who was rustling around him.

Zhao Liang's mind was blank when he couldn't get a response, but no matter how much he ran, the surrounding environment still didn't change at all. Seeing that there was no hope of running out, and that he could not contact the outside world, he ran exhausted, shouting hoarsely, finally unable to bear the increasing fear, and collapsed to his knees on the ground.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!"

no answer.

what is this? Are you hitting the wall? Could it be that he will be stuck here forever from now on

Zhao Liang clasped his bag tightly, the hope in his eyes finally slowly extinguished, and he became hopelessly quiet in the seemingly endless silence.

However, at this moment, he suddenly felt that his briefcase seemed to be a bit unreasonably warm, especially with the cold wind blowing around him, it became a warm baby that automatically heated up.

Zhao Liang was stunned, opened the bag subconsciously, and immediately saw the book inside that he had just rolled and stuffed into it. Because the stuffing was too casual, the corners of the pages were already pressed up, Zhao Liang stretched out his fingers and touched them, and the pads of his fingers felt soft and warm.

In a flash, Wei Xi's sentence flashed in his mind: "Take this thing with you to avoid some trouble."

Zhao Liang's eyes widened in astonishment - no, no

But the body has moved faster than the mind.

The moment he grabbed the book, an indescribable strange change came crashing down, as if something hit him in the face, pushing his head back.

It was dark in front of his eyes, and when he opened it again, he was already standing next to the security post in his community.

The sultry air of early autumn enveloped his body, and the security guard at the guard booth stood beside him with a strange expression: "Mr. Zhao? Mr. Zhao? You have been standing here for a long time, do you have anything to ask us?"

Zhao Liang blinked, for a very short time, he even thought that everything just now was just his own hallucination.

However, the picture he saw when he lowered his head shocked him all over. His right hand was holding onto the book that should have been in the bag.

The night wind was blowing, damp and hot, but he was shaken by the blow, and the pores all over his body stood up one by one.

The community security guard of Jiawan Garden was berating what the owner who was standing beside the guard box was trying to do. The next second, his arm was firmly grasped. Excuse me, can you please take me to the door?"

This requirement is very strange, but who makes the property fees in this community high? The staff is still very service-minded, and the little security guard agreed immediately, thinking that such an elite successful person would also be afraid of the dark

As he thought about it, he suddenly heard a rustling sound behind him, and when he turned around, he found that the elite was walking and spreading out a book.

Little security guard: "??" It's so late to walk on the road to read, do rich people work so hard

Unexpectedly, the wonderful flower is far more than that. The next second, this elegant and shrewd successful person opened his mouth and began to read aloud—

"Practice is the foundation of the human world!"

"The world is united in matter!"

"Material determines consciousness!"

"Everything starts from reality!"

He read it in cadence and relish, as if he had been completely immersed in it, unable to extricate himself.

Little security guard: "..."

It's not fucking hard work, it's sick, right

****

Wei Tianyi couldn't stand the expo at all, and soon flew back to the capital with his assistant and a plane ticket.

The anger that boiled over his head was aroused to another peak when he really witnessed the change in the courtyard gate that Zhou Butler had spoken to him. The moment he rushed into the house, his mind was completely confused. He started roaring in his voice: "You bastard! Get out of here!!"

He used to talk about one thing at home, not to mention his two sons when he got angry, and even his wife could only serve carefully. Among them, Wei Xi, the eldest son, was the most cowardly, and when he saw him frown slightly, he was overwhelmed with fright.

But today, he did not get his wish to see the picture of his eldest son coming to plead guilty in tears, only the housekeeper Zhou came forward with a broom to greet him: "Sir, why did you come back early?"

"If I don't come back, this house will not be demolished by that little bastard! What about others? Call him out, I have to beat him to death today!" Wei Tianyi was furious and asked him suspiciously, "What did you mention? What are you doing with a broom?"

Butler Zhou heard the words, sobbed for a long time: "I'm going to clean the yard. The young master said that I will be responsible for the hygiene near the signboard in the future."

"... ??" Wei Tianyi's rage filled with anger was beaten for a few seconds by this answer, "What?"

At this time, another familiar figure burst into the corner of the light, Wei Tianyi turned his head to look, the youngest son Wei Chengshu took a bucket and walked out expressionlessly, stopped when he saw him and called out lightly: "Dad, you're back."

Butler Zhou explained: "Second Young Master is the one in charge of cleaning the signboard."

Wei Tianyi: "…"

He was furious and said, "Don't go! Not a single one! You bastard, I think he's tired and crooked!"

He didn't wait for Butler Zhou to call someone, he kicked off his shoes and stomped the ground and ran upstairs. Who is in charge of this family

He was dizzy with anger, and smashed his son's door with great energy: "Little bastard, get out of here!"

There was a faint sound of pleasant sound, followed by Wei Xi's lazy voice: "Who is it?"

Wei Tianyi was furious: "Who? Who do you say, I'm your father!"

He thought this was enough to frighten the other party to death, but he didn't know that the door opened slowly after a long while. Wei Xi didn't put on a shirt, and stood barefoot behind the door with a pair of trousers on. Her hair was messy and fluffy, and her eyes were still fixed on the phone in her hand.

Seeing the phone, Butler Zhou, who was next to Wei Tianyi, choked again, and his tears were filled with fear of being dominated.

Wei Xi ignored it, and only took time to glance at Wei Tianyi's cloudy face: "Be quiet, I can't even hear the little crocodile."

Wei Tianyi glanced at the screen of his mobile phone, and was blacked out by the crocodile above who was half-smiling and waiting to take a bath. He laughed in anger, and asked insipidly, "Is it fun?"

"It's fun!" Wei Xi immediately became happy, and remembered something, "Oh, you came back just in time, and we will leave the affairs of our Taicang Sect to entertain guests in the future."

Wei Tianyi: "" Am I here to talk to you about this

He shouted: "What did you say? You say it again?! What am I responsible for?"

Wei Xi was embarrassed. The other party seemed to have an opinion on his division of labor. Tuanjie said that he should listen carefully to the expectations of his subordinates for the job. Therefore, he was not dissatisfied with Wei Tianyi's roar, but patiently asked: "You If you don't want to entertain guests, why not exchange with Chengshu and wipe the signboard?"

Wei Tianyi: "..."

He finally found that he was talking with ducks and chickens, his eyes were straight with anger, and he was panting like a cow. Butler Zhou hurriedly came up to help his crumbling body, and at the same time, he pointed out his finger to the boss and tapped his temple, and whispered, "Don't be angry, sir, he's been like this since he came home, maybe he's been outside for a long time. Well, what, you know."

Wei Tianyi held onto his shoulders and managed to stand firm. Hearing that, he almost spat out a mouthful of blood. He immediately regretted that he didn't send someone to find his son earlier. But he regretted it, but his anger did not subside at all. Seeing that Wei Xi was still the considerate example that I would give you another job if you were not satisfied, he gritted his teeth and simply smiled grimly.

"Okay, wipe the signboard, I'll let you wipe it!"

After he finished speaking, he shook off Butler Zhou, turned around and left.

Butler Zhou stared blankly at his husband's puffer-like back, and Wei Xi lowered his head and stared at the screen of his mobile phone, explaining lightly, "He's going to entertain me."

Hospitality, I'll treat your mother!

Wei Tianyi angrily stepped into the yard, rolled up his sleeves as he walked towards the gate, and thought, little bastard, let your father clean the sign? I'll tear down your broken signboard now! Let you know who is in charge of this home!

Who would have guessed that he walked out of the door, and just as he was about to start, he saw a familiar face, and immediately put down his sleeves: "Lao Zhao, how is it you?"

Lao Zhao still had that elegant appearance, holding a book in his arms, and said politely, "I'm here to find Mr. Wei."

The entrepreneurs who live in this area are somewhat friendly. Wei Tianyi and this neighbor surnamed Zhao also have a lot of business dealings. Therefore, when facing each other, he still has to suppress his anger and show a decent attitude, pulling the corners of his mouth to force He smiled: "Are you looking for me? Is there something wrong?"

"Who's looking for you!" Zhao Liang lowered his face and glanced at him inexplicably. At the same time, he stretched his head to look into the room, and his tone became polite again, "Then what, Wei Xi, is Master Wei at home?"

Wei Tianyi: "…"

Seeing that he was silent, Lao Zhao happily shared: "You don't know, I read the Marx that Master Wei gave me last night, and now I have a great understanding!"

As soon as he finished speaking, his face suddenly changed drastically, and he crouched down and desperately shook his friend who was lying soft on the ground in front of him.

"Lao Wei?! Lao Wei?!" He shouted anxiously, "What's wrong with you? Are you smitten? Why are you rolling your eyes!"

The author has something to say: Wei Tianyi: I'm not a **** evil, but I'm about to have a stroke :)
