Habits are sometimes unnatural, and little things are chilling.

Zhang Xiaokai is a statistician, dealing with various reports and numbers every day, it has been more than ten years, this work is boring, but there is a need for the staff to be rigorous and serious, not a little sloppy, Xiaokai every time he works his spirit is in a high state of tension, even after work, this feeling will last for a long time before it slowly subsides, over the years, Xiaokai has become particularly sensitive to numbers, and even has a serious phobia!

This night, Xiao Kai slept very unsteadily, and when he woke up, he felt dizzy, and his body was like he had just experienced the five horses and was about to fall apart, the reason for this is because Xiao Kai has been having the same dream this night, and the general content of the dream has been forgotten, only remembering that this dream is very terrifying, and the dream also mentions a number "998".

Although he didn't rest well, but when the time came to work, he had to go, he washed up in a daze, his virtuous wife had prepared breakfast, Xiao Kai sat down at the table in a decadent spirit, eating bread and drinking milk, his wife asked Xiao Kai if he was not feeling well, Xiao Kai was afraid that his wife would be worried and lied and said that he was fine and probably slept a little late last night.

After the wife told Xiao Kai a few words with concern, she told Xiao Kai to go to work by the way to put the child in the boarding kindergarten, this month's living expenses paid, she was careful to pay Xiao Kai while talking to herself: "Now the fees are really getting more and more expensive, the child has just entered kindergarten, every month will be 998 yuan, if this is to go to primary school, middle school or something, what can I do!"

It's 998 again, hearing this number, Xiao Xingxing's head was shocked, he didn't have much appetite, put down the bread and said to his wife: "I'm going to work" and then went out with a briefcase.

On the road, Xiaokai desperately recalled the content of the dream last night, what is going on with this "998"?

Until the company Xiaokai was clueless, but thought about things a little too much, and his head seemed to hurt more, so he simply stopped thinking about it, adjusted his mood to an optimal state, and went to meet a new day of work.

As soon as he walked into the office, the director happened to pass by and stopped Xiao Kai, with a smile on his face, patted Xiao Kai's shoulder and said: "Xiao Kai, you have been doing well recently, and the leader specially gave you a big red envelope 998 in order to reward your outstanding performance, do you want to invite a few of our colleagues to have a drink tonight?"

Hearing this number again, Xiao Kai was about to collapse, his body couldn't help shaking, and he almost fainted in front of him, and the owner saw this and helped Xiao Kai: "Xiao Kai, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell? Do you want to take a break?".

Xiao Kai waved his hand and said, "It's okay, I just slept a little late yesterday, and I'll be fine in a while."

"It's okay, it's time for the quarterly summary recently, your work will get harder and harder, just stick to this paragraph, and then I will apply for the leader to package you a bigger one, at least more than 998, at least 1998 starting price ......!".

"That director, I'll invite everyone to dinner after work tonight, I'm going to work soon, I'm going to work first" After speaking, Xiao Kai didn't care about the director's reply, and ran away as if he had to run away, this "998" is now a life-urging charm for Xiao Kai, and he can't stand it when he hears it.

Xiao Kai sat in front of the computer, after counting all kinds of data, making a report for future reference, at this time the cleaning sister walked in, the office inside and out, the corners were cleaned and wiped, and finally there was the computer desk left for Xiao Kai to work, Xiao Kai will be the cleaning sister waiting for herself, smiled apologetically, got up and stood up.

"Xiao Kai, the eldest sister said that you don't mind one thing, in the future, this kind of small trademark or something, tear it off and throw it directly into the trash, don't stick it on the table, it's too troublesome to clean up!" I saw that the cleaning sister was a little unhappy, and wiped a small trademark on the desktop, which was on a courier box, and when Xiao Kai opened the express delivery, he owed it for a while, so he tore off the small trademark and pasted it on the desk, this is not the first time he has done such a thing, and the same is true at home, and he has been counted down by his wife for this matter.

Xiao Kai also felt very embarrassed, so he said to the cleaning sister apologetically: "Sister, I'm really sorry, I'm sorry to trouble you, so you can leave me a rag, and I'll deal with it myself?" Quick Eye 123

"Alright then, I'm going to clean up the conference room, and I'll have a meeting later."

After Xiao Kai wet the rag, he wiped the small trademark on the table hard, this thing is too sticky, Xiao Kai wiped it hard for a long time or left a small strip, it was a small barcode, only three digits remained, coincidentally, those three digits are the "998" that Xiao Kai is most afraid of seeing and hearing today!

Xiao Kai sat on the office chair, and it took a while to come to his senses, and his mind was desperately recalling what this "998" was? The more I thought about it, the more my head hurt, and I felt like it was about to explode!

Finally, when it was time to get off work, my colleague Xiao Li ran into Xiao Kai's office and said: "Brother Xiao Kai, I heard that the boss sent you a big red envelope, you want to invite everyone to dinner, don't you? You can't invite you to this meal today, you have to let me come, because today is the first birthday of your eldest nephew in my family, September 8, 1999, 998 How about my son's birthday! Just now, because I was busy with work, I didn't have time to tell you earlier, you must arrive at seven o'clock tonight!"

"Well, okay, then I'll invite everyone tomorrow, and I'll go to Xiaobao's birthday party today."

"Okay, Brother Kai, you are busy first, don't forget that you must be on time before seven o'clock, I will go and inform other colleagues first."

Today's "998" is like a refinement, it will appear all the time, from this morning to now, it has been pestering Xiao Kai like this, sending Xiao Li away, Xiao Kai sat on the chair for a long time before he came to his senses, looked at his watch, and the time to get off work had arrived, so he simply packed up his things and walked out of the office.

Because he came out a little late, missed the nearest bus, and had to participate in Xiao Li's son's birthday banquet in the evening, he couldn't delay too long, so he had to take a taxi home, stretched out his hand to stop a taxi and stopped, and looked at the driver's license plate number, Xiao Kai almost vomited blood, why was he so coincidental, and casually stopped a car is the license plate number of "998".

Xiao Kai was about to be tortured by "998" this day, waved his hand to the driver and said apologetically: "I'm sorry master, I won't sit anymore", he would rather walk home than take a taxi with this license plate number.

The streets of the city have always been very prosperous and lively, the streets are full of traffic, in order to attract customers, the shops on both sides have posted a variety of preferential price signboards and advertisements, and some are still using loudspeakers to constantly greet and play, the preferential policies of the store.

"Good home appliances, which one is strong, cheap and affordable, don't be fooled, the quality is leveraged!Household appliances are the first to be low in the field, the lowest is only 998, as long as 998, the opportunity is rare, don't miss it when you pass by~!"

It was another terrible "998" advertisement, and the loud sound filled Xiao Kai's eardrum, stimulating his already very fragile and sensitive nerves, and finally made him completely collapse, and fainted on the street in front of his eyes.

When Xiao Kai woke up, he found that he was lying in the hospital ward, his wife was watching him with a concerned face, and when he saw that he woke up, he exhaled a long breath, knowing that Xiao Kai had been in a coma for more than four hours, and no one would be worried, let alone his wife.

"Sister, is my brother-in-law awake?" a young man walked into the ward with a bag of things, he was Xiao Kai's wife's younger brother, Xiao Kai's brother-in-law.

"It's okay, just woke up"

"It's good to wake up, brother-in-law, you know that your coma has frightened us all! Fortunately, the doctor said that there is nothing wrong with you, just overtired. You must be hungry after sleeping for so long, see I bought you your favorite 99 duck neck, 99 yuan for eight such big duck necks, 998 is cheap and affordable! How about you taste it? Brother-in-law, what's wrong with you? Why did you faint again?"
