We did not go back to Gui Village directly, but went to Sanmenxia City. We could not eat and drink for free at the Zhen family. Although the whole family was grateful for helping Xiao Mao to exorcise the evil spirit, in our hearts, it was not a big deal. First, we went to a restaurant to have lunch, and then went to the supermarket to buy instant noodles, ham sausages and some snacks for the children, filling the trunks of both cars.
When we were about to go back, we accidentally saw Zhang Xiaochuan driving past us. I didn't think much at the time and immediately asked Lu Fei to speed up and catch up with this guy. Zhang Xiaochuan's car was driving as fast as a rocket, weaving in and out of the endless stream of cars and soon left us behind.
But Lu Fei was no pushover either. When it came to driving in the city, he was no less capable than Shen Bing. He took advantage of every opportunity and soon caught up with the guy at the red light ahead.
I told Lu Fei not to overtake him, and I just followed him. There was a car in front of him, so he didn't notice someone following him. I followed him for seven or eight kilometers in the city, and finally stopped in front of a building. He got out of the car and ran in hurriedly, as if he was going to a funeral, as if there was something urgent.
Looking up, I saw the logo on the building with four big golden characters written on it: "Guiren Group"!
I don't know what this group does, but it looks familiar. I suddenly remembered that it is similar to Huiren. The advertisement says, "Drink Huiren Shenbao, he will be fine and I will be fine too." At first, I couldn't figure out what was good about it. A comrade told me that if you are good in bed, she will be fine too. Then I suddenly realized it. You see, I am quite pure. I don't even understand this.
We were driving too fast, and Qu Mo was not as skilled as Lu Fei in driving, so I didn't know where he was left behind. I asked Lu Fei and Ma Yunxi to stay in the car with Shen Bing, and I got out to see what Zhang Xiaochuan was doing here.
Maybe I didn't wash my face or shave much in the past two days, so my hair was messy and I looked like a homeless person. The security guards didn't let me in, so I stood outside the glass door and asked them what this company did. Damn it, the two security guards looked down on me and ignored my questions, and kept rolling their eyes at me.
I greeted their ancestors for eighteen generations in my heart and was about to get back in the car, but as soon as I turned around, I heard someone behind me call out, "Xi Feng?"
The voice was so familiar that I couldn't remember who it was. I turned around and saw a young man with slicked hair, smiling at me. He looked so familiar that my heart skipped a beat. It was him!
I rushed over and we hugged each other tightly. I couldn't suppress my excitement and tears welled up in my eyes. The boy also wiped his eyes and let me go, asking, "Brother Feng, how have you been these years?"
I was so excited that I couldn't speak. I just kept nodding my head. After a long while, I saluted him and said, "Report to the squad leader, Xifeng is doing well!"
Who is he? He is my comrade-in-arms Chen Gulong who has been in the special forces with me for two years. He is two months younger than me and often calls me Brother Feng. But this guy is very capable and smart. He became the monitor of our class. I often tease him by calling him the monitor. His family is from Henan, which is the closest to my family, so I treat him as a fellow villager. We have a very close relationship in the army. When we recovered, we took the same train home. We cried all the way. I got off the train halfway and still remember his tearful face posted on the window!
Thinking of this, my eyes became wet again.
Those who have never served in the military will never know how deep and precious the friendship between comrades is. I have never regretted not going to college, and I have never regretted serving in the military for three years. Comrades are really a very precious wealth that will be unforgettable.
The boy punched me in the chest with tears in his eyes and cursed, "Don't be serious with me. We are not soldiers anymore. Don't make fun of me. Just call me brother."
I laughed, wiped the tears from my eyes, held his hand and said, "Brother, I remember your family is from Hebi, why did you go to Sanmenxia?"
"After I came back, I came here to work as a security guard through a relative's introduction. You know what we can do after retiring from the army. We can't let all our skills go to waste, so I've been working here for four years." Chen Gulong said with a smile.
I couldn't help but sigh. A retired special forces soldier, working as a security guard for four years is really a waste of talent. But everyone has their own way. For example, I have been dealing with ghosts for several years. Now I am neither human nor ghost. It is better to be a security guard and live a carefree life.
"Come, Brother Feng, let's talk in my office." He pulled me inside.
I was stunned. Aren't you a security guard? You also have an office? Hey, this company is not bad. The security guards are paid well. When I followed him in, the two guys standing guard immediately put away their contemptuous looks and saluted us respectfully. I saw something was wrong and thought that Chen Gulong must not be a security guard. Otherwise, we are all poor guys. Why would we salute
Chen Gulong smiled mysteriously, pulled me into the elevator and said that he has now become the security captain of this group company and also serves as the boss's bodyguard. Not to mention that the two security guards salute him when they see him, even when they meet company employees, they greet them with a smile.
After going up to the seventh floor and exiting the elevator, he met two beautiful female staff members who nodded and smiled at Chen Gulong, saying, "Hello, Mr. Chen!"
The boy nodded without replying, looking quite arrogant. I suddenly felt that the difference between our previous status as equals had become like that between a swan and a toad, and I felt a little ashamed.
His office is not very big, but it looks very impressive. Sitting in the swivel chair opposite the desk, I always feel like I can't poop. Damn it, this may be the frustration of office workers.
The boy made me some coffee and handed me a Zhonghua cigarette. I laughed and said, "You are doing pretty well now, drinking bird droppings and smoking opium..."
"Puff!" The boy spit out the coffee as soon as he took a sip, coughed a few times and said, "My dear brother, what is bird droppings? This is Nestle. What is opium? I was born a righteous soldier, how can I smoke that? Look carefully, this is Greater China, what a bumpkin!"
I lit up a cigarette and took a puff, then crossed my legs and said, "The excrement found in the nest, if it's not bird excrement, then it must be rat excrement? Besides, even if your brother is old-fashioned, he has seen Greater China. Didn't I just omit two words and call it Greater China?"
"Well, I haven't seen you for a few years. You've become more eloquent. I can't beat you." He sat on the chair, looked at me, sighed and asked with a sigh: "How did you have time to come to Sanmenxia to play?"
He didn't ask me if I really forgot what I came for, and hurriedly stood up and said, "I'm here to look for someone..." At this time, the phone rang. It was Lu Fei who called me and told me that Qu Mo also followed me, but saw that I followed someone in for such a long time and didn't come out. Did something happen? I said it was nothing, I met a comrade, chatted for a few words and then went out.
Before Lu Fei hung up the phone, he asked anxiously, "Zhang Xiaochuan came out with someone. Do you know who it is?"
I was startled, I couldn't see where to go. But I turned around and saw a window behind Chen Gulong, so I hurried over to it, opened the window and looked out.
"It's Pang Furong!"
Lu Fei added, "At the same time, I also saw the appearance of this guy. Although it was seven floors away, I could still see his ugly appearance."
