Chapter 9: Encounter I

People always expect their future life to be smooth sailing, without worries, without injuries and separation, so that everyone will wake up in their sleep with a smile. Life is life, it will not let your daydreams come true, and every one of the troubles, troubles, and injuries will come as scheduled and come into your life. People are thinking that there will be no parting without meeting, and there will be no sadness, but this is not the case, why should the pain of parting be blamed on a beautiful encounter.

At the company's party, Zhang Yongzheng rose up to resist and let his leaders suffer a loss. As a result, this week brought a lot of trouble to himself, Takahashi always gave him the most tiring work in the company, running east and west, letting him follow every interview, and every time he did some chores, carrying a camera, dragging luggage, etc. Although these are small tasks, running outside every day is already a tiring task for young people in the 21st century. Every night when I come home, I just want to lie in bed and sleep deeply, I don't want to do anything, I don't want to wake up in the morning, I am running around outside all day, I haven't learned anything about my own editing work, and I haven't learned less skills such as carrying cameras, carrying shelves, and pulling luggage.

In this department, no one objected to Takahashi's work for Zhang Yongzheng, because no one dared to say it. It's not all, Zhao Shumin mentioned it a few times, but each time he was rejected by Takahashi on the grounds that the department was not staffed enough to go out for interviews was a top priority. Such a move has made Zhang Yongzheng very grateful, after all, in this department, everyone has an attitude of not caring about themselves. The only thing that makes them interested is their own salary and work tasks, and they don't care about the departure or retention of their colleagues. Zhao Shumin not only talked to Takahashi, but also urged Zhang Yongzheng to study editing work every day. In this way, Zhang Yongzheng not only had to follow a few reporters out to cover the news every day, but also worked hard to learn the tasks of editing. I am grateful to Zhao Shumin for her attention to her own affairs.

The week's work was finally completed, and Zhang Yongzheng returned to his room of less than ten square meters, surrounded by snow-white walls, adding to his exhaustion. Thinking about the fatigue of this week, I touched the band-aid that was still attached to my face, and there was a tingle. The exhaustion of work and being estimated to be difficult made Zhang Yongzheng very annoyed by his counterattack, sometimes it was like slapping himself a few times, but he was beaten twice, why couldn't he help it. However, there is still some puffiness on my face, although I put on a band-aid, the slightest stinging pain is still there, always remind myself that there is nothing wrong with fighting back, why should I be bullied by others, and I will resist the oppression given by others.

Thinking about it, things have already happened, fortunately, Zhang Yongzheng is an optimist, but it is just a matter of soldiers coming to block, Takahashi can only do what you want, master, I will continue one by one. After thinking about it, put all these unpleasantness behind me, and now there is one more thing, Lin Xiandui let herself go shopping with her this Saturday, go shopping with the girl, this is a long time ago, think about the scene, what will be the shopping tomorrow, I don't have a little bottom in my heart. Originally, I just wanted to take a good rest and adjust my body, but Lin Xiandu's invitation couldn't help but go, and it might be a good thing to go out for a walk. Xujiahui, the place where you go shopping, lives in the land of Shanghai, no one does not know that this place was once a symbol of Shanghai, and this big hat alone is enough to show the prosperity of this place. Zhang Yongzheng has been coming to Shanghai for almost half a month, and he has been running around all day at work, and he has not stopped to see the prosperity and beauty of this metropolis, so it is good to look at the appearance of Shanghai and see what kind of status he has in this city.

It's late at night, and the summer heat doesn't make the night feel cold, and the temperature in the city remains high every summer. Some cities even break through the 40-degree mark in the hot summer, and the city's high-rise buildings lock the passage of temperature, trap the temperature drop, and let the people living in the city suffer in such high temperatures. Zhang Yongzheng fell asleep deeply, and in his sleep he had to experience the high temperature brought to him by the city, sweat flowed down unconsciously, the windows were wide open, but there was no cool breeze blowing. Only the butterflies that have always had azure blue wings flew around, dancing beautifully, and flew to Zhang Yongzheng's side. Flying, sprinkling blue brilliance, dots and embellishments fell, absorbed by Zhang Yongzheng's body.

The sun rises early in a summer morning, and the temperature in the air does not rise as quickly as the sun rises. After overnight precipitation, the air is still extremely hot and dry, and there is no need to heat up excessively. Zhang Yongzheng opened his sore eyes, rubbed his stinging face, and got up. Today, I accompanied Lin Xiandui to go shopping, a big beauty always has to dress herself up, take a shower, melon and melon beard, but the band-aid on the face can't be removed. Packed up and prepared to go out, Lin Xianwan was originally going to drive over to pick him up, but he was refused, or it was the most suitable to take the subway, after all, it was very convenient.

Xujiahui is a symbol of a period of time, the traffic here extends in all directions, high-rise buildings also abound, Metro City, Grand Gateway Plaza, Oriental Commercial Building, Huijin Plaza, Jianhui Building, etc., there is no shortage of commercial food here. Xuhui has a long origin, the earliest can be traced back to the Ming Dynasty, Xu Guangqi, a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion, established a farm here, and was buried here, called 'Xujiaku'. Then the town was formed, and at the confluence of the two rivers of Zhaojiabang and Huafajing, it was finally called Xujiahui. Silent for hundreds of years, this place has developed at the end of the twentieth century, borrowing the main road of Metro Line 1, began to develop Xujiahui, the implementation of the third phase of the project, the original small farm, white walls and black tile houses, all were demolished and rebuilt. Buildings have risen from the ground, and an open shopping street has been formed, and a steady stream of people come to visit every day.

Zhang Yongzheng got off the subway and walked out, the scorching sun was on his head, but he couldn't cover the brilliance of these high-rise buildings. From a distance, he saw Lin Xiandui waving to him, so he walked over.

Lin Xianwan saw a few band-aids on his face and asked, "Why, I've only been in Shanghai for a few days, haven't I been beaten up?" ”

Zhang Yongzheng glanced at her and said, "How is it possible, the company competes in taekwondo, and I was unlucky to be assigned to a black section master, which is completely like an egg hitting a stone." And then I was beaten like this, why didn't you want to go shopping with me. ”

"No. Lin Xiandui was wearing a pair of slim jeans, retreated slenderly, took a light lotus step, put his arm on Zhang Yongzheng's arm, and said: "It's better for you to accompany me shopping than anything else, and I can't care if someone beats you, or talk to Guoqiang." ”

"Don't. Zhang Yongzheng hurriedly stopped her, if Song Guoqiang knew that he didn't go to his company to arrest that person to the police station and beat him for a few days, it would be full of trouble in the city. "It's better for us to hurry up and go shopping, it's so hot, what are you doing standing here. ”

Lin Xianqiao's face was cold, she didn't smile, and nodded. The two of them left here and began to visit this Xujiahui, Zhang Yongzheng came to this big place for the first time, and he was very unfamiliar with everything here, so he could only follow Lin Xiandu's instructions and watch everything here. A Grand Gateway Hang Lung Plaza appeared in front of me, with high steps, just a few steps, but I always felt that I was powerless to climb up. Walking into the square, the cool breeze gusted, and the heart and body that were originally roasted by the scorching sun were all lowered in the face of the air conditioning in the mall, whether it was much cooler or much colder. A shopping mall is a shopping mall, and all kinds of goods are overwhelmed, obviously in the daytime, placed in the glass window, illuminated by the light, more bright and conspicuous. Zhang Yongzheng walked through the storefronts, the goods in the store are indeed luxurious, some of the names of the stores are completely unknown to him, and some of the products have never been seen before. I feel that I really have some dirt buns into the city now, and Grandma Liu has entered the Grand View Garden. Although everything is novel, and every item is frightening, it also gives itself a disadvantage. Famous watches, bags, clothing, and even shops with glasses have stores that I don't recognize, and some products don't know what they are used for. For people who usually just go to the supermarket, coming to such a shopping mall, it is inevitable that they are a little cramped, unnatural, they don't belong here, how can they go here, there will really be some feelings of self-shame.

Looking at Lin Xian next to her, her face was extremely fair, and her two big eyes looked at everything here calmly, and the things here didn't seem to impress her at all, and even had some difficult feelings to enter her eyes. Stop-and-go, eyes look at everything here, without stirring up any ripples, very plain. Stopped, turned around and walked to a special counter of a famous watch, several English letters appeared, a mass of five semi-circular patterns, like a flower and a mechanical part. It's like saying that you don't know me, and it's like laughing at your short-sightedness, and you don't even know the famous me. Zhang Yongzheng stood there a little dazed, not knowing what to do, Lin Xianwan walked around and pointed to a watch and said, "Show me this." ”

The waiter walked over, took out the watch, and handed it over. Lin Xianwan took it in his hand and said, "Yongzheng, how do you look at this watch?"

Zhang Yongzheng walked over with difficulty, took the watch that was not heavy at all, but it was extremely heavy in his hand, the silver-white strap was shining with silver light, but it had a simple change plate, and the hands inside were also very simple. It is very in line with my hobbies, holding it in my hand, the heavy weight flows into my heart, and I can't put it down when I love precious things. Lin Xianwan knew that Zhang Yongzheng liked this quaint thing, and said: "You go to work, there is a watch for you to control the time, you can't always look at your phone." ”

Zhang Yongzheng realized that the watch is a status symbol, and those who look at it as elegant and have status, all of whom have a famous watch on their wrists, inadvertently shake it, and tell people how high their status is temporarily. Thinking of this, Zhang Yongzheng smiled slightly, thinking of a news a while ago, an official was reported for bringing various famous watches, and then an investigation, it turned out to be a big corrupt official, and it was really a famous watch that caused a case of corrupt officials, and then officials from all over the country began to attend activities and meetings and no longer wore watches. It's really funny, Zhang Yongzheng is holding the famous watch in his hand, he doesn't know its name, let alone its value, "No, it's very convenient to look at the phone." After speaking, he handed the watch back with some reluctance, and the staff took the watch back without any expression. After all, Zhang Yongzheng was wearing a body jacket, which cost only 100 yuan a piece, and the shorts were even more eye-catching, and the staff didn't think that this person could afford this watch.

Lin Xianwan was a little displeased, and said, "I didn't let you put it back, why did you put it back and take it out." ”

The staff was indifferent, completely across, you simply can't afford it, why should I take it out. Lin Xian's face was slightly angry, and she was about to go crazy, Zhang Yongzheng grabbed her and said, "It's a waste of time, I really can't afford it, let's go, see what you like?"

Lin Xiandu's anger subsided, she was still a little displeased, and said coldly to the staff: "Just pack this watch for me immediately, I bought it." ”

When the staff heard this, they immediately got up and didn't dare to slack off, this turned out to be a big customer. Can buy this watch without hesitation are rich people, hurry up and pat the horse, good words one after another, what this watch is most suitable for this handsome guy to wear, the most suitable for this handsome guy's temperament, this watch is more expensive, after wearing it makes you have a face superior, and so on and so on words gushing. The staff, who was still cold, immediately changed their faces as soon as they realized that they were big customers. Lin Xianwan swiped the card to check out without the slightest hesitation. Zhang Yongzheng held the bill but couldn't believe it, looking at the pattern that symbolized this watch, the row of numbers below, a watch was more than 20,000, and now he finally understood why the official wearing the watch was investigated for corruption.

In just one morning, Lin Xiandui made Zhang Yongzheng realize what it means to spend money like running water, and buy a random thing, ranging from thousands to tens of thousands. Shopping is really a woman's hobby, and if you like it, you can buy it, but I didn't expect such a cold and expensive Lin Xiandui to love shopping so much. Xu Jiahui let Zhang Yongzheng know how short-sighted he was before, there were too many luxuries, he couldn't even name them, and there were even some luxuries, which made him even more disgusted, and he didn't even have the courage to take a look.

At noon, the sun was not so dazzling, it was covered by dark clouds, and there were bursts of thunder. Lin Xiandui walked out of Ganghui Hang Lung Plaza with Zhang Yongzheng in his arms, and the two of them were full of hands. Looking at the rolling black clouds in the sky, Lin Xianwei said: "There is rain in the forecast today, and the sun is so good in the morning that I thought it would not rain, it seems that the forecast is not wrong." ”

"The summer rain comes and goes as fast as it goes. Zhang Yongzheng said a little weakly. This summer rain is like the current self, the stimulation brought by Xujiahui to himself, it comes and goes quickly, it doesn't belong to you here, just like the rain doesn't belong to you, just take a look, if you have to catch it, you will get covered with rain, wet.

However, this rain did not give Zhang Yongzheng any affection, and the pouring rain did come quickly, but it did not go quickly. The pouring rain didn't stop, it was raining wildly, trying to flood the land. Zhang Yongzheng and the others went around to Metro City, ordered some delicious food, ate, chatted, and watched the rain pour down like an infusion. It rained heavily until the evening, and when it was really dark, the street lights were on, and the lights made the buildings shine brighter. The rain became lighter, the thunder was still rolling, but it was possible to walk, to walk. Zhang Yongzheng and the two were walking outside with umbrellas, going out along Metro City, and soon saw an overpass, on which people came and went, and the river was endless. Lin Xianwan touched the things in his hand and suddenly said, "I forgot to wrap a bag in the place just now, you go to the Jianhui Building opposite first and wait for me." ”

Zhang Yongzheng hadn't given her the umbrella in his hand yet, Lin Xiandui had already run back to Metro City, shook her head and smiled slightly, this girl's impatience has not changed at all, although she looks cold now. A person with an umbrella walks on this road that should not belong to him, looking at the people who come and go, all of them are full of smiles. Such a pouring rain did not bring them a trace of sorrow, this is the charm of the city, no matter how heavy the wind and rain are in front of them, it is not worth mentioning. Zhang Yongzheng walked up the steps step by step, walked to the opposite Jianhui Building through the overpass, step by step, there was no trace of heavy rain, but it was a little wet.

The night had darkened, the rain was still ticking, and the thunder was rolling and roaring. But all of the city's high-rise buildings have not brought a trace of fear. In the dark, white things are always prominent. There are a lot of pedestrians on the overpass, a white dress, embellished with the light of the night, ice muscle and jade body, lotus root arms in the night, also particularly attractive, long black hair, draped on the fragrant shoulders, even compared to the darkness of the night, delicate face, really look at the city and then look at the face of the country, what is the sinking fish and geese, what is the closed moon and the shy flower, it is suspected that the fairy came down to earth, looking back and smiling at the stars, the face is like a silver plate, the eyes are like apricots, the lips are not dotted and red, and the eyebrows are not painted and green. Qianqian jade hands, hands can grow flowers, holding a black umbrella, elegant fragrance, refreshing. It's really a small fan of white orchids, with a slender waist and a jade belt dancing veil, this woman's eyes are really a pair of happy and unhappy eyes, shining with tears.

Zhang Yongzheng was also attracted by such a scene, and he picked up his umbrella lightly and pushed away the rain to see clearly. The hazy Qing Shui Hibiscus did not bring him joy and appreciation, but only a burst of shock and a sharp pain in his heart. The umbrella fell to the ground, and the rain frantically wet his clothes, trying to bury him alive in the rain, his eyes were hollow, and he didn't mean to pick up the dropped umbrella. People passing by laughed, this person really has never seen the world, although this woman is only in the sky, the world has a rare opportunity to see, but as a young man in the 21st century, when he sees a woman who is suspected to be a fairy descending from earth, he will not be amazed that even the umbrella has fallen, and he is stunned*.
