On November 8, 2013, at 1:23 p.m., I sat in the car and made a phone call for almost an hour, and the speaker in the car kept answering me that the phone you were calling was turned off.

Don't fight, if you hit again, the power will run out again, the man in white in the back seat looked at me coldly and said coldly.

What the hell is this? Or is it an illusion?

For a long time, I often felt that there was a man in white who appeared around me from time to time and talked to me.

....................................

On November 8, 2013, at 6:05 p.m., the lights were on, and a hazy light rain fell in the sky.

I thought I was going to drink in the evening, so I drove home and took a taxi to the Fortune Garden Hotel on Zhaoting South Road.

Adhering to the consistent style of the company's Shao Dong, the place arranged for this cocktail party is at least the most expensive, if not the best and most delicious place in the current Xuancheng environment. A total of 40 tables were arranged for the reception, and the standard was the highest, highlighting the most powerful real estate predator style of our company in Xuancheng.

To be honest, I've never been a big fan of this kind of occasion, where the endless rhetoric and flattery of each other are often stuck to the front line when the employees who actually work for the company are still working on the front line.

When I entered the venue, I didn't know what the theme of today's reception was, and I didn't bother to ask. I picked up a glass of wine, walked to an inconspicuous corner casually, and put my phone on silent, so as not to interrupt the leaders' speeches in case any phone calls interrupted Yaxing.

Mr. Li, Mr. Guo, and several other branches rushed to the big and small heads to stand in front of the microphone in turn, one by one spoke impassionedly, tears flowed, a large number of key employees nodded frequently, heard the wonderful, involuntarily stood up, and kept applauding with pride and passion.

I was standing, but when I saw everyone standing up, I randomly found a seat and sat down.

"Mr. Cao, you are hiding here to relax, your friends are looking for you all over the world......" Ouyang Huan's silver bell-like voice sounded behind me, as if I could meet this small front desk wherever I went.

"Whoever is looking for me, won't they call me?" I turned around and saw Sima Wei's well-maintained and youthful smiling face.

"Your phone must be able to get through...... "Sima Wei's company has extensive and close business contacts with our company, and his wife also has an inextricable relationship with the wives of our company executives. I looked at my phone, such a luxurious hotel, there would be no signal.

"Youlao Huanhuan, I wish you a happy birthday!" I nodded at Ouyang Huan with a smile and asked Sima Wei: "You are looking for me for nothing more than drinking, so you don't need to be in such a hurry." ”

Sima Wei grimaced at me, I didn't understand the meaning. Sima Wei said: "Fortunately, your phone has no signal at this time, if Li Rongrong calls you, you will say that today is your birthday, and the old classmate has made an appointment to take a bath and play cards in the holiday garden bath on Zhuangyuan South Road." You know what?"

I know that the holiday garden bath has a business area of more than 4,000 square meters, and the facilities and services are among the best in Xuancheng City. But I don't know why Sima Wei asked me to help him fulfill this lie, we, the CEOs of business, are the mainstay of the company's marketing backbone when they say it is good, and they are a funny escort when they say it is ugly. It's also a common thing to say that socializing in a nightclub, and it doesn't seem to need to be covered up like this.

Sima Wei squeezed his eyes at me, and said with an expression of three hundred taels of silver here: "After the drinking party is over in a while, we will go to Jinsha to sing and celebrate Xiao Huan's birthday, and I have already ordered the cake." ”

"Jinsha, Xiaohuan, birthday?" I smiled dumbly: "Brother admires you, the sword is not old." ”

Sima Wei looked at Ouyang Huan warmly and said to me, "Life lies in movement. ”

I smiled, "Toss." ”

At this time, my phone vibrated and it was Li Rongrong. I answered the phone: "Hello sister-in-law. ”

Li Rongrong's voice on the phone was dignified and virtuous, and she was a well-educated woman when she heard it, she said, "Thank you." ”

I was stunned for a moment, and said urgently: "Sister-in-law, don't say that, is there something wrong?"

Li Rongrong asked, "What day is today?"

I'm going crazy, why do all the calls today start with these two sentences?

"November 8th. I replied with a calm of my uneasiness.

"It's your birthday today?" asked Li Rongrong again.

I looked at Sima Wei, and then at Ouyang Huan, they were not far away at the moment, and they were secretly holding hands there.

I said, "Yes, sister-in-law, it's on the lunar calendar." ”

On the other side of the phone, Li Rongrong sneered softly, and this laughter suddenly reminded me of the phone call in the early morning, with a little weirdness.

....................................

On November 8, 2013, at 8:18 p.m., the leaders of the Fortune Garden Hotel finally took the lead in giving a standing ovation after the concluding speech of Miss Lin, Secretary of Chairman Shao. The hotel erupted in thunderous and long-lasting applause, and the joyful atmosphere of the audience reached a climax.

I walked to the microphone and recited aloud with my head on my chin: "Next, the company's cocktail party officially begins, and I hope that the majority of colleagues will eat and drink well, drink well and eat well, and tomorrow will be better!"

My summary drew a burst of laughter from the audience, and that's what I wanted. Our leadership is quite united, and since I know that I don't like the habit of speaking formally, I leave the most routine words to me at every event, and all the CEOs have spoken.

When I walked back to my seat, I found a man in white at the round table closest to me, with blazing eyes, looking at me blankly. When I looked at each other, I felt the phone in my pocket vibrate suddenly.

I was shocked, and I remembered that I had put my phone on silent, and I forgot why I had turned the vibration to the maximum a few days ago.

When I answered the phone, I looked at the screen, and it wasn't the weird and mysterious number, and I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. But a strange thought came to my mind, am I afraid of this call, or am I looking forward to this call?

"Who?" I asked.

A female voice came from the other end of the phone, "Mr. Cao, I'm Alice from Jinsha Nightclub, you left my phone number last week." ”

I felt a little dizzy, and I could only say perfunctorily in politeness: "My phone is poisoned and all the phone numbers are gone, is there anything wrong?"

"You're really joking, you must save it this time, or I'll be angry......" Alice's voice made it impossible to tell her age. I vaguely remembered that it seemed to be a mother Sang in her fifties with a body similar to Yang Guifei, but I couldn't associate this person with the graceful voice on the phone.

"Something?" I asked.

Alice said glutinously: "I can't call Mr. Sima, there has been no signal." ”

No matter how you look for Sima Wei, call me, am I his personal secretary? I didn't feel good and said, "Tell the point." ”

"I want to ask Brother Sima, how many people will come to sing in the evening?" Alice felt my unhappiness, and said cautiously: "He ordered Jinsha No. 1, just now Mr. Li, who was at the peak of Guohua, said that there were more people coming, can you change the room? Jinsha No. 3 can seat more than a dozen people, and I will send a bottle of XO ......."

There is no need to discuss this matter with Sima Wei, I said coldly: "We don't do (sit) small 3!" and then hung up the phone.

On November 8, 2013, at 8:38 p.m., the Monopoly Garden Hotel was full of excitement, and the man in white leaning against my desk was missing.
