Chapter 63: A Bad Premonition
Raising my eyes, I looked at Lu Jingzhong, and there was no fluctuation in his eyes. From his pupils, I was now looking up my head, and my short hair was really studenty, and I felt like a student who had done something wrong in front of Lu Jingzhong.
At this moment, a voice came from the dressing room: "Found it!"
I hurriedly took a step back, put the lighter on the cash register, and looked into the cashier's eyes with a little surprise, and then moved my eyes from the lighter to the hand I had just touched Lu Jingzhong, and it was clearly written in that look, why hasn't this groping pig hand been chopped off yet?
Qiao Chu walked over. Pulling me directly and was about to leave, Lan Xuan behind him said, "I'm sorry, this is my sister's, she's in a hurry." ”
The earrings were found underneath the partition between the two locker rooms connected, probably accidentally hung from above while changing clothes.
The little woman who kept saying just now that I dropped the earrings on the ground looked a little embarrassed, but since Lan Xuan had spoken, she said, "I'm sorry." ”
Qiao Chu snorted coldly and clasped his arms with both hands.
I smiled slightly, "It's okay. ”
I know why she recognized that I took it before, and there are not a few people trying on clothes in this clothing area, but why she recognized at a glance that I took it, just because of the clothes on my body.
I came out today wearing only a sweatshirt that I bought from the Internet, and it didn't look like it was on the same level as other customers.
In this world, it is said that everyone is equal, but in fact. This is not only an era of looking at faces, but also an era of looking at money.
When Qiao Chu pulled me away, I finally glanced at Lu Jingzhong's figure reflected in the shop window, he and Lan Xuan were already surrounded by several clerks and crowds, all asking for autographs.
The moment I looked at Lu Jingzhong, he just raised his eyes slightly. Through the floor-to-ceiling glass windows, the line of sight is slightly connected.
"Rich people are great, celebrities are great?" Qiao Chu said, "You shouldn't say it's okay, this is slander, at least you have to pay for mental damages." ”
"What else can I say," I said, "I'm not the kind of person who doesn't take care of people. ”
Qiao Chu rolled his eyes, looking at me like looking at the dog meat that couldn't be carried on the table: "I can see it." ”
When I came out of the shopping mall, I said I was going to look for Zhang Xiaoran.
"By the way, how did you know Zhang Xiaoran?" Qiao Chu asked me.
I said: "With me, there is a person named Zhou Yusen in your school, who knows Zhang Xiaoran, and I know each other indirectly." ”
"Zhou Yusen. Male or female?" Qiao Chu asked rhetorically, "I don't know." ”
On the way back to the company, Qiao Chu didn't say anything, but I could see it clearly.
Qiao Chu doesn't like celebrities, and she doesn't like chasing stars, so she chose to do news about people's livelihood instead of being an entertainment reporter, she said, entertainment reporters are paparazzi. is doing some of the most meaningless things, so, in some ways, she actually looks down on Zhang Xiaoran.
I have to say that at this point, Qiao Chu's views are extreme, but her ideal is to be a real reporter, to be able to interview reporters on the first scene, this is four years ago, when she and I were still in high school, she told me.
This company is a newspaper under the emperor of city C, which is a branch, in charge of the dissemination of the Internet and paper media, including news, people's livelihood, emotion and entertainment, but now the largest is the entertainment version.
I went to find Zhang Xiaoran first, and Qiao Chu went to help me ask the manager of the personnel department who recruited graphic models.
Zhang Xiaoran asked me to wait for her in the lounge, and she came over immediately.
I stood in the lounge, looked through the window at the mess of cars under the office building, turned around and took out a paper cup to pick up a cup of coffee, and sat on the bar stool, thinking about how to say to Zhang Xiaoran.
"I'm coming!"
Zhang Xiaoran was in a hurry every time he appeared, and this time he came in directly with a red banner, and asked me to help her fold the banner, and then asked me, "What's the matter?"
I said, "I'd like to ask for the latest news from your company." ”
"About whom?"
I paused: "Lu Jingzhong." ”
Zhang Xiaoran asked: "Are you a fan of Lu Sir?"
I nodded.
Now I don't have a reason to care about a public figure like that, that's all I can say.
Zhang Xiaoran frowned, as if he was thinking, and then shook his head: "No...... It's just that recently he was preparing for a concert and took over a new movie, which seems to be very full. ”
She really introduced me as a die-hard fan of Lu Jingzhong, and said it very specifically, as if she wanted me to go to the place he frequented to squat.
Now there is no news, which is good news.
It's just that why I'm so uneasy now, I have a faint premonition, a bad premonition, the kind of calm before the storm.
Qiao Chu led me to meet the company's personnel manager, said that the foundation is not bad, and asked me when I have time, I need to take a set of casual clothes photos recently, published in a magazine, I think my current image is very suitable, so let me try it first. Chastity has co-blood.
I thought I was going to a piano competition tomorrow morning, so I said, "Tomorrow afternoon." ”
In the end, I agreed with the manager that it would be three o'clock tomorrow afternoon.
Qiao Chu took a leave of absence in the morning, and there was an interview in the afternoon that I couldn't push, so I went out of the company alone.
At two o'clock in the afternoon, the sun was good, bright, and the ground seemed to be coated with a white film, so warm, but cold in my eyes.
I walked along the road for a while, glanced at the time, and it was only two hours before the time I had agreed with Fang.
When I think about this, I feel irritable, and when I am irritable, I want to smoke, and I can't help but touch the cigarette case in my bag, which has been so intemperate lately.
Leaning against the big tree on the side, he lit a cigarette and squinted slightly.
When the passers-by next to me saw me, they undoubtedly showed more disgusted eyes, even if they walked over with expressionless faces, their hearts were not pleasant.
When I was about to finish a cigarette, I happened to see two familiar figures walking out of a western restaurant on the side of the road.
Not far apart, only a few meters away, I could see them clearly, and they could see me clearly.
It's Jin Lei and Xie Zhunjia.
Xie Zhunjia was wearing a very beautiful dress, and her calves were slender wrapped in boots, which was carefully dressed.
Because it was only a few steps away, it was impossible for them to see me, and the moment Jin Lei saw me, the expression on his face was a little unnatural.
I knew he would be unnatural, because when he first came out of the western restaurant, he was holding Xie Zhunjia's hand.
In this case, he is unnatural, and it just happens to make me natural.
I greeted the two of them with a smile: "Are you coming for afternoon tea?" ”
What I'm best at dealing with is this kind of person who is even more bottomless than me, such as Xie Zhunjia, who stole my piano tune, and Jin Lei, who didn't know what the hell was going on with Xue'er on his back.
However, once I face someone who is calmer than me, stronger than me, and more aura than me, I am completely passive, such as Lu Jingzhong, who I met again in the shopping mall four hours ago.
Now I think of Lu Jingzhong's faint look in his eyes, and my teeth itch with hatred, why can he be so calm and free all the time, but I always drag the mud and water, I want to take revenge and I can't give up, I want to compromise and I am unwilling.
I've never hated my character as much as I do now, and I can't tell whether Lu Jingzhong created me or ruined me.
Here, Jin Lei said: "I told Xue'er that I was not at school today, and she made a fuss for a while." ”
I sneered inwardly, obviously trying to cover it up.
I laughed: "Xue'er is always big and has thick nerves, if she had a little brain, she would never have introduced a married man to a friend in the first place." ”
I mean this sentence, when Xue'er introduced that person to Sangsang, he was talking about Leizi's buddy, through Leizi, and then through Xue'er's introduction, I really want to listen to it, hehe, a sophomore buddy is the CEO of a big company?
Looking at the gleam in Jin Lei's eyes, I know that no matter how Jin Lei clarifies this matter later, he must know, either I think too much, or Jin Lei's acting skills are too clumsy.
At this time, Xie Zhunjia smiled: "Do you know how to smoke?"
As soon as Xie Zhunjia said this, I remembered that I still had a cigarette butt between my fingers that was about to burn out, I snuffed it out and threw it into the garbage bin in front of me, and smiled slightly: "The pressure is too much, and I smoke occasionally." ”
Xie Zhunjia echoed: "Yes, I'll play tomorrow, I'm under a lot of pressure." ”
I said two more words that were not nutritious, nothing more than whether to go back to school and stop by the way, and whether to go to the concert hall in the city tomorrow morning to compete together.
I said, "I'm not going back to school tonight." ”
Watching Xie Zhunjia and Jin Lei walk away from behind, I took out my mobile phone and took a photo from behind, and then sent it directly to Xue'er.
Within two minutes of the message being sent, Xue'er's phone came back, and as soon as I pressed answer, Xue'er asked with a split head and face: "Jiayin, where are you now?"
I said, "In the city." ”
Xue'er's tone sounded particularly impatient, as if she was still a little out of breath: "Who is that girl?"
I said, "Why don't you go and wait in front of the bus stop sign in front of the school now, I just saw them take the bus back." ”
"How...... Is he really a son? Did you read it wrong, he told me that he had a class in the afternoon......"
Xue'er had obviously started to speak incoherently, and I interrupted her: "That's skipping class to pick up girls, Xue, don't always think that Leizi is a good boyfriend, I used to think that your brother always stopped you from being a little strong with him, but now I think you should communicate with your brother more." ”
Xue'er didn't seem to hear my words, her voice was a little choked, and then she boiled water and cried: "How come, he has always been very good to me, I don't believe ......"
I said, "Gu Xue, you listen now, wipe your tears, hang up the phone and wait at the school gate, wait to see what he says, and then cry when it's time to put it bluntly." ”
Hanging up the phone to Cher, I shook my head.
Now in my sophomore year, Xue'er and I have a dormitory, and I am used to seeing a small quarrel between her and Leizi for three days and a big quarrel for five days.
Love is really a fan of the authorities, and the bystanders are clear.
Onlooker......
For the relationship between me and Lu Jingzhong, it was unknown at that time, except for Weiwei, who was bent on obstruction, the only real bystander was the psychological counselor, I regret it now, why should I tell him about it......
Thinking of this, a flash of inspiration suddenly crossed my mind.
The U disk thing has been settled.
…………
The last time I was leaving, Zhou Yue gave me another business card, and I stuffed it into my bag.
I've always thought that business cards look lofty, but in fact, even a black doctor who is not listed to practice medicine in a small clinic will have a stack of business cards in his hand, and dozens of dollars in the printing shop can print several boxes.
found Zhou Yue's business card and dialed the mobile phone number on the business card.
Zhou Yue's ringtone is a song by Lu Jingzhong, I haven't heard it, but the voice can be heard at once, I am not familiar with Lu Jingzhong's song, not that his song is not popular, but because I am trying my best to avoid his song and avoid all his information.
Therefore, I haven't read a post about the Lu family's revelation that once existed on the webpage.
But now, listening to his voice, I feel a feeling of warmth in my heart.
Over there, Zhou Yue quickly connected, but there was only one sentence: "If you have something urgent, come to the psychological counseling room and wait for me now, I'm busy." ”
Then it hung up.
I looked for a nearby bus stop, looked at the route map, plugged in my headphones and waited for the bus.
When I was waiting for the car, I was wondering if Liang Yi, who rescued me in Fang's only private club, Zhou Yue, who drove me directly to Jiage, and the person who helped me out of the siege in the blue sea and clouds, were all related to Lu Jingzhong.
Thinking about this, I couldn't help but laugh at myself.
I really take myself seriously, who am I, it's not that my heart is higher than the sky, on the contrary, it's really a difference between cloud and mud.
It is not far from Zhou Yue's psychological counseling room, only five stops away by car, but coupled with traffic jams and slow driving, five stops drove for 50 minutes.
When I entered Zhou Yue's psychological counseling room, I realized why he said that he was very busy now, because there were three people waiting in line outside, and in the psychological counseling room, there was a lot of quarrel.
I was about to go in, but the beautiful woman who was registering outside stopped me: "Please register here first." ”
I glanced down at the form, then looked up at the long-legged and small-waisted beauty in front of me, smiled and picked up the pen and sat down, close to the door, I gently pushed the door open a crack, and the sound inside was just enough to reach my ears.
A woman's voice: "Please, will it be okay this time?" I'll pay you double, I've already told the warden to wait for you to ......"
The door slammed and closed from the inside.
I rubbed my nose, held the pen in my right hand, looked at the name on the form, and raised the pen to write down three words - "Lu Jingzhong".
Then, I copied the content on Baidu Encyclopedia, name, age, date of birth......
When I saw the birthday column, I was obviously stunned, because the birthday of the lunar calendar clearly said that it was the second day of the first month.
The second day of the Lunar New Year......
I poked the back of my hand with the tip of my pen, it turned out that three years ago, I accompanied Lu Jingzhong for a birthday.
Suddenly, the door behind me opened, and a middle-aged woman who was crying and squishing came out of it, and then Zhou Yue walked out, and before I could react, I took the form out of my hand, just glanced at the words on it, and walked into the house with my hands behind my back, and gave me a gesture to let me in.
The beautiful registrar went in and poured a cup of hot tea for Zhou Yue, and then withdrew.
Zhou Yue crumpled the form I wrote and put it on the table, and asked me in a cold voice, "What's the matter?"
I simply didn't talk nonsense, and just told me about the USB flash drive.
Zhou Yue glanced up at me and rubbed his eyebrows: "You really know how to find trouble for Lu Xiaowu." ”
I sat in the soft chair and didn't speak, staring at the tips of my shoes.
Zhou Yue made two phone calls, but I heard that none of them were called to Lu Jingzhong, and I was thinking about it nonsense, when Zhou Yue suddenly asked me: "What does the USB flash drive look like?"
I said, "The red one with a bow sticker on it." ”
Zhou Yue rolled his eyes and repeated it on the phone.
Hanging up the phone, Zhou Yue took a piece of clothing from the hanger and walked out, and I followed silently behind.
Zhou Yue explained to the beautiful registrar, and went out, I was silent, I followed behind him, he went to the parking lot to pick up the car, I followed behind him to pick up the car, he opened the door and got in the driver's seat, and I followed to sit in the passenger seat.
When I fastened my seatbelt, I glanced at the time, and there was still half an hour before the time Fang had agreed, so if I wanted to show up alive at the piano competition tomorrow, I would have to stick to Zhou Yue this night.
Because Wen Wen was asked before, if Wen Wen said that Zhou Yue's family power is not small, then it should not be underestimated.
So, this night, I'm going to rely on Zhou Yue.
I was thinking about whether to turn off or silence my phone when it rang.
From the only party.
I glanced up at the windshield in front of me, considered my words, and pressed the connect button: "Mr. Fang." ”
Fang Wei threw down a sneer: "I sent a car to pick you up from your school, when will it arrive?"
I said, "I'm sorry, I have a problem in my heart recently, and I made an appointment with Zhou Yue counselor in the xx psychological counseling room, I'm afraid I won't be able to go tonight." ”
"Zhou Yue?" Fang Wei said, "Which Zhou Yue, the big Zhou Yue in the east of the city or the little Zhou Yue in the south of the city?"
Me: "......"
Fang's only phone was called, and then he couldn't hear any sound at all, it was estimated that he covered the microphone, but only two seconds later, the other party hung up.
I raised my eyes slightly, and I saw Zhou Yue looking at me from the rearview mirror.
"You're brave enough to throw me out as a shield. ”
I smiled.
In fact, I am very weak now, I still can't figure out Zhou Yue, this is also a desperate move, because Lu Jingzhong is the fifth among his buddies, and Zhou Yue always calls Lu Jingzhong Lu Xiaowu, it must be related, so he plans to throw Zhou Yue out.
In order to alleviate this embarrassing atmosphere, I asked Zhou Yue: "Are you the big Zhou Yue in the east of the city and the little Zhou Yue in the south of the city?"
Zhou Yue didn't answer me, he drove silently all the way, I wasn't interested in the question I asked myself, just to ease the awkward atmosphere, but it was even more embarrassing that people didn't talk to me talking to myself, so I simply turned my head and looked out of the car window.
The headlights flickered by outside the window, and I watched as the scene outside the window quickly reversed, turning into a streamlined shadow.
When Zhou Yue asked me to get out of the car, I didn't react, and I got out of the car with an "oh" sound, which is a relatively high-end community, with a large fountain in front, and you can see the shadow of the trees in the middle of the budding flower bones in early spring.
I followed Zhou Yue and asked, "Where is this going?"
Zhou Yue didn't answer me, but dialed a number and asked, "What is the number of your house in Huaxi Apartment?"
The number may have been reported on the other side of the phone, and Zhou Yue laughed: "That's just right, I can make a table of mahjong." ”
When Zhou Yue hung up the phone, I was still thinking, who would be the four people who made up a table of mahjong?
But when asked Zhou Yue, Zhou Yue did not answer.
Then, when Zhou Yue rang the doorbell and the door opened from the inside, I knew.
For a moment, I wanted to turn around and leave, even if I turned around and walked to be tortured by Fang Weiwei and Lu Zhengyu, that madman, I didn't want to go in.
Sometimes it's really paranoid to go too far, I stand in the glimmer of light that shines through the doorframe of the house, and I feel that there is a stage in front of me, and there is an abyss behind me, and I need to make a choice.
It's just that there are flowers, applause and scolding on the stage, but under the abyss is the comfort of death.
Zhou Yue had already taken the lead in entering, and I hesitated in the back.
