Chapter 32: Bad Premonitions
The Mid-Autumn Festival has passed, and although there is no longer the heat of summer, there is definitely no feeling of autumn coolness here in Guangzhou. Walked downstairs, crossed a street in the bustling urban village, and finally chose a barbecue restaurant for our dinner, barbecue with beer, which is quite in line with the season's solar terms.
"What do you think of this place?" Yang Fan said to me, chewing peanuts in his mouth and tearing open a can of beer.
I also tore open a can of beer, took a sip and replied: "It's okay, urban villages have the benefits of urban villages, besides, the transportation here is convenient, and overall it's pretty good." ”
"Working in that high-rise environment during the day, and immersing yourself in the luxury of a busy area for a long time, sometimes you have the illusion that you are also a wealthy person. In contrast, urban villages smell more people and fireworks, so that's why I chose to live in urban villages. Yang Fan said with a serious expression.
I raised the beer can in my hand and touched it at his beer can, and said disdainfully, "Come on, you! ”
"Hey, can't you just stop demolishing me, let me pretend I'm going to die. ”
"What are you talking about, didn't you ask me to have a few drinks with you, but you did. ”
......
The next day, I got up at the normal time to go to work, Yang Fan was not bad, I got up early in the morning and turned on the computer to submit my resume, and said that there was an interview at 10 o'clock in the morning. I feel much more relieved to see Yang Fan in this state, man, you still have to be motivated enough. I gave him a word of encouragement and left the apartment to go to work.
When I went to the company, I found that everyone in our department was in a carnival, everyone was holding a luxuriously wrapped gift in their hands, and when they looked at the gifts in their hands, it was like looking at a baby.
I walked to my seat, put my backpack on the chair, and then asked Sun Bowen, who was smirking beside me, puzzled: "What are you doing? Everyone is silly happy, where are so many gifts, today is not November 11th." ”
Sun Bowen pouted, looked in the direction of my desk, and said, "Well, you have it too." ”
I turned around and glanced in the direction he said on my desk, where there was a gift bag. This made me even more confused, so I picked up the bag and carried it in front of him, and continued to ask, "Where did this thing come from?"
"Hey, you may not believe it when I say it, the gift that everyone loves and everyone has in their hands, the gift was given to us by the Han Fairy early in the morning......" He stared at the gift box with joy, and added: "Oh, this happiness really came too suddenly! Hey, Cheng Ting, open it and take a look, what kind of gift did you receive?"
"Take your hammer and get to work. I gave Sun Bowen a blank look, then pulled out a chair and sat down, and started the day's work.
......
When I was about to get off work at noon and was ready for lunch, I took another look at the gift bag on the table, thought about it, and decided to open it and take a look. What I didn't expect was that the Korean goblin gave me a ZIPPO lighter, picked it up and looked at it carefully, and played with it for a while, only to find that there were two English letters "CT" printed under the lighter, which is probably the abbreviation of my name.
I smiled, put the lighter away, and got up and went to Fairy Han's office.
"What's wrong?" asked as soon as I entered the office, Han Fairy didn't know who it was, and focused on the papers on her desk, without raising her head.
"No, it's okay, that ...... I just wanted to ask, where did you and Wen Shuya go yesterday?" I grinned, scratched my hair, and sat down in the chair in front of her.
Han Fairy raised his head at this time, and when he saw that it was me coming, he also responded with a smile and asked, "How is it, do you still like the gift I gave you?"
"Yes, of course I do, but what does that have to do with the question I just asked you?"
"Yes, I went shopping with Xiaoya yesterday...... Alas, speaking of which, I shouldn't have let you go back yesterday, you don't know how we brought so many things back later, Xiaoya's car was too small to fit, so we had to call another car to help us transport things back. ”
I looked at her with wide eyes and was surprised, "Did you buy a mall, and you have to call another car to transport things back, how much does it cost!?"
She turned her chair and replied nonchalantly: "It's not much, I only spent about 100,000 yuan, Xiaoya should be tens of thousands, huh...... It's normal for me to be a little more flower as a sister. ”
The words "not much" and "just" that Han Fairy said almost made my nose bleed...... The happiness of rich people, you can't imagine!
"Do you have anything else to do later?" she raised her hand to check the time, and then said, "It's time to get off work, if there is nothing else, let's go to dinner together." ”
"No, no, I'm a little dizzy, you can go eat first. With that, I left Fairy Han's office in a gloomy manner.
When I got back to my desk, I thought about it and finally thought it was too unorthodox for them to do so. I can't let them continue to be losers like this, and when I have time another day, I'll have a good chat with them, and if I have to go to the losers, then I'll have to take them with me!
......
When I came back from work in the evening, the room was empty, and it seemed that Yang Fan was much worse than me, always working overtime. Having already eaten dinner, I took a few bottles of beer and a bag of nuts out of the fridge and sat comfortably on the sofa to enjoy my free time after work. So, I turned on the TV and watched the news to pass the time.
"Typhoon 'Haipa', the 22nd typhoon of this year, has officially formed and will make landfall in the northern part of Island X at 3 a.m. tonight, with winds of 15 near the center at the time of landfall, with a wind speed of 48 m/s and a minimum pressure of 950 hPa at the center. According to the current course of the typhoon, 'Haipa' will make landfall in D city head-on, and there will be heavy rain and extremely heavy rain in nearby M and H cities. This will be the strongest typhoon on record in City D in recent years......"
I didn't listen to what the reporter of the meteorological station said in the back, and the first thing I thought of at this time was Su Jing in D City, and what made me feel even more worried was that she still didn't reply to me when I sent her the message two days ago...... I jerked down the last sip of the bottle, then picked up my phone and called Su Jing, but I couldn't get through, and I didn't answer three times in a row.
Distraught, I lit a cigarette and tried to calm myself down. Suddenly, a name popped into my mind...... Xu Mengjun, yes! The only person who can know what Su Jing is doing now is her. As soon as I thought of this, I immediately dialed Xu Mengjun's phone.
"Is Su Jing with you?" I asked quickly as soon as the phone was connected.
As a result, Xu Mengjun said in the same anxious tone as me: "Alas, you can call me, I was looking for you, Su Jing hasn't come back to school yet, I'm dying, I thought she was looking for you." ”
Xu Mengjun's words were like a thunderbolt from the blue, making my scalp tingle, from the time Su Jing told me that she was going to accompany her best friend to the Mid-Autumn Festival and relax, it has been a week now, not only has there been no reply to the message, but I can't get through on the phone...... A bad feeling rose in my heart.
"Hey, Cheng Ting, did you listen to me?"
Xu Mengjun's words pulled me back from my trance, I took a deep breath, calmed my emotions, and replied: "Su Jing is not with me, no matter whether it is a message or a phone call, she has not replied..... In this way, you can first ask a few classmates to help ask if anyone has seen Su Jing recently, and I will book a ticket online to go back to City D now. ”
"Good..... No, Cheng Ting, haven't you watched the news, the typhoon will land head-on in D City at 3 o'clock in the morning tonight, and now the weather has changed here in D City, and the wind has begun to blow, do you know how dangerous it is to come over now?" Xu Mengjun seemed to have walked out on purpose, and I could clearly hear the whistling wind on the other end of the phone.
I was silent for a while, and finally replied with determination: "It's because of the danger that I want to go, and the top priority is to find Su Jing before the typhoon comes...... Needless to say, I really won't be able to book a ticket any later. ”
Without waiting for Xu Mengjun's reply, I hung up the phone, and then immediately opened the software to book a high-speed rail ticket. I clutched my phone and prayed in my heart: there must be a ticket......
