Chapter 233: It's like a world away
The plane arrived at Guangzhou Airport at 4:05 a.m.
At this time, there were very few arriving planes at the airport, and their planes quickly taxied to the bridge junction, and it took less than five minutes to go through the VIP green channel from getting out of the cabin to going through the VIP green channel.
Just like the last business trip to Hangzhou, Lucy still drove to Guangzhou Airport by herself, then parked her car in the VIP parking lot, and after returning to Guangzhou, she still drove home by herself.
Last Thursday night, when Xu Xincheng and Lucy confirmed the final itinerary, he knew that the time to return to Guangzhou today would be around 4 a.m., and he proposed to Lucy to arrange a company car to pick her up. New World Capital has a Rolls-Royce, a Bentley, two BMW seven-seater business vehicles, and four senior executives in the company's administration department, one of their responsibilities is to work part-time as drivers, whether it is the company's senior executives or visiting guests, as long as they need to be arranged to meet them at the airport. But Lucy said no, saying she always drove herself.
Xu Xincheng immediately realized that he should not have made such an offer, Lucy valued her privacy so much, she would not let anyone send her home. It is said that no one in the company has ever been to Lucy's house, not even Amanda, and in fact, no one even knows the address of her home.
Xu Xincheng didn't arrange a company car for himself, there was no need to trouble the company's colleagues at all, he didn't want his family to get up at three o'clock in the morning, just to come to the airport to pick him up, and he took a taxi at the airport.
At 5:01, the taxi dropped him off at the gate of the community.
The road in the community is already very narrow, and now at this time it is full of cars, and the shared bicycles must be placed on both sides of the road, and the building where his rental house is located is in the innermost part of the community, if you ask the driver to send him downstairs, it will be difficult for the driver to withdraw the car. Although he was really tired at the moment, Xu Xincheng still didn't want to cause trouble to the driver, and as usual, he got out of the car at the gate of the community.
Xu Xincheng pulled his suitcase and walked towards the community under the dim lights on both sides of the road.
About five minutes later, he came downstairs, there was no elevator, the rental house was on the seventh floor, and he carried the 28-inch Armani suitcase up almost 100 stairs to the seventh floor.
Before the 2010 Guangzhou Asian Games, the exterior walls of each building in the community were renovated, the original red brick wall was pasted with beautiful mosaics, and the cement road and greening of the community were renovated, so from the outside, you will feel that this is a high-end living community, which is also one of the reasons for the high housing prices here, but the condition inside the building is not as good as it looks from the outside.
After all, it is a 30-year-old building, and the tile pavement has been damaged in some places, and there are many places that are uneven, and the corridor is narrow and relatively closed.
His rental house is at the end of the corridor, in order not to make noise, Xu Xincheng tiptoed through the corridor with his suitcase, and now everyone is still asleep, he doesn't want to wake up his neighbors, who are also Guangpiao. As a member of Guangpiao, he knows very well that it is not easy for everyone to work hard in a big city, everyone is facing huge life pressure and work pressure, if you wake everyone up at this time, I am afraid it will affect their work status throughout the day.
In just a dozen meters of the corridor, Xu Xincheng walked for about a minute before coming to the door, he took out the key, gently unlocked the lock, gently pushed the door open, gently entered the door, gently put down the suitcase, gently closed the door, and gently pressed the electric switch on the side of the door frame.
The lights came on, and the lights instantly lit up his own small space, a small space of only 20 square meters.
Xu Xincheng has been living here for a year since graduating from university. Over the past year, he has always felt that he can have a small space of his own in the urban area of Guangzhou, which is very simple for him since he was a child, it is still very satisfying for him, although it is rented, although it is only 20 square meters, although it is 30 years old, the house has been slightly dilapidated, but after all, this is his own space.
But at this moment, when Xu Xincheng, who had only been on a business trip for four days, returned to this small space of his own that he had been very satisfied with, he suddenly felt that his room was really small, really small, really small.
Xu Xincheng took a quick shower in the bathroom of only 2 square meters, changed into home clothes, sat on the edge of the bed, looked at this small space that belonged to him, and recalled the experience of the past four days, feeling completely like a dream, the most luxurious and unimaginable dream: the top private jet, Dubai, the hotel's Bentley limousine, the Armani Hotel in Dubai, the high-end rooms in the hotel, Munich, Germany, the hotel's Rolls-Royce courtesy car, the Mandarin Oriental Hotel Munich, the sky-high high-end rooms in the hotel, BMW's Museum and Future Pavilion, Laboratory, Fully Automated Factory, BMW Office Building, Berlin, Germany, Prince Anderson's Castle, 150 square meters of rooms in the castle, the breathtakingly beautiful lake, the meeting with the German Vice Chancellor, two ministers and the presidents of three of the world's top companies, a French dinner with them, a run by the lake with Prince Anderson, a super contract with the German companies LEIM and AMEM, Signed a comprehensive strategic cooperation agreement with BMW......
At this time, Xu Xincheng has woken up from the dream and returned to his small rental house of only 20 square meters, at this moment, there is a very strong sense of separation in his heart, yes, like a separation of worlds, at this moment he deeply understands the meaning of this idiom.
The feeling slowly changed, first to uneasiness, then to hesitation, and finally to panic, and a strong sense of fear and weakness hit again.
What makes Xu Xincheng so uneasy, hesitant and frightened at this moment is not the dreamlike experience of the past four days, but the future.
Lucy was on the plane to Munich, Germany, and he said that invitation, although he has not yet agreed, but Lucy's meaning is very clear to him, and now it seems that she has made the final decision, has made the final choice, but she is not in a hurry, she is giving him time, she is waiting for him to make a decision to make a choice, waiting for that moment to come.
In the face of Lucy's trust, in the face of such a big burden, his heart is actually completely bottomless, as soon as he thinks of the heavy responsibility he will take on in the future in the past two or three days, that strong sense of fear and weakness will hit him, his heart immediately becomes panicked, and then quickly enters a state of confusion and panic.
Xu Xincheng sighed deeply, he didn't like the feeling at this time, he didn't like the state at this time, and his mind couldn't help but become chaotic again......
