I thought there would be a response soon, but I only got off work at noon, and the phone didn't ring again.

Chu Tianqi finished lunch with a lot of worries, and after returning to the office suite, he lay on the bed and tossed and turned and couldn't sleep, his mind was full of question marks. He thought about it for a long time before he fell asleep.

Just when he was in a daze, a bell rang, waking up Chu Tianqi, who had just fallen asleep. With a hint of anticipation, he picked up his phone, and on the top of the screen was a string of familiar numbers, a number that excited him.

Chu Tianqi hurriedly sat up, stabilized his mind, and pressed the answer button: "Hello, may I ask ......?"

"You can come and report to work. After this short sentence came out of the mobile phone, it was followed by the sound of "pop" hanging up the phone.

Although the other party only said a few words, Chu Tianqi could already hear it, it was Zhang Tiankai's voice, and the phone number was also the landline number of his office.

doesn't say to talk about things, but says to report work, it seems that Vice Governor Zhang is holding an official stand at any time. Chu Tianqi teased himself secretly as he got out of bed and quickly arrived at the outhouse.

Sitting on the chair, Chu Tianqi lit a cigarette and smoked it, looking at the rising smoke, thinking about something in his mind.

After smoking a cigarette, Chu Tianqi had already thought through his thoughts again. He picked up the telephone receiver and dialed a string of numbers on it.

"Dut...... The beep ...... "The ringback tone rang several times, but no one answered.

Chu Tianqi realized this time that it was not yet time to go to work, and he was too calm, so he hurriedly pressed the receiver to the phone. Then, he changed his clothes, then opened the drawer and searched inside.

"Ding Bang", the landline phone on the desk rang.

Seeing the number displayed on it, Chu Tianqi shook his head with a smile and picked up the phone receiver.

A voice immediately came from the phone: "Mayor Tianqi, what's going on?"

Chu Tianqi said slightly apologetically: "I'm sorry to disturb the mayor's rest, I have to go to the provincial capital immediately." ”

"Oh, go to the provincial capital......" There was a pause on the phone, and another voice came, "Tomorrow is Saturday, so don't rush back." ”

The other party didn't ask about the matters to be done, and the reply was so happy, Chu Tianqi hurriedly thanked him: "Thank you, mayor! If there is nothing special, I will be back tomorrow." ”

"Look at the arrangement yourself. At this point, the other party's voice stopped abruptly.

Putting down the phone receiver, Chu Tianqi clenched his right fist, shook it vigorously, and secretly shouted "yes". Then pick up what you just found and walk outside. As he walked, he dialed the phone: "Sharp sword, now ......"

……

At about five o'clock in the afternoon, "Santana 2000" arrived outside the gate of the provincial government. Just as he was about to get out of the car to register, Chu Tianqi retracted his right foot, took out his mobile phone and dialed back the number.

After the "beep ......" sounded twice, a voice came from inside: "Wait for my call." ”

As soon as ......he said a word, Chu Tianqi stopped, because the other party had already hung up.

It's useless to complain, it's definitely inconvenient now, so just wait. So, let Li Jian park the car in a parking space not far away, and Chu Tianqi leaned on the back of the chair and closed his eyes to recuperate.

Time flies so slowly, during which Chu Tianqi opened his eyes several times, but the hour hand on the watch has not yet reached six o'clock, and the mobile phone has not rang.

I waited until six o'clock, but I still didn't wait for the expected call. Chu Tianqi realized that maybe the other party was too busy to leave, or he went to participate in some official entertainment. Then what are you waiting for stupidly, let's solve the stomach problem first.

Chu and Li went to the restaurant where they had eaten twice this Monday, asked for a few dishes, and ate them slowly. Due to something else, Chu Tianqi didn't drink, just boiled water. Although the speed was slowed down, it was not yet eight o'clock when I finished eating, and my phone did not ring during this time.

Coming out of the restaurant, continue to the car and wait. The taste of waiting for others was too difficult, and time was like stagnating, Chu Tianqi couldn't help but feel anxious. Suddenly, he realized that maybe the other party was trying to achieve this effect, or that he was impatient. The more he thought about it, the more it made sense, Chu Tianqi decided not to look forward to it so much, he simply relaxed, really closed his eyes and recuperated, and gradually fell asleep.

I don't know how long later, a voice rang out: "Mayor, mayor, phone." ”

Chu Tianqi woke up from his sleep and found that Li Jian was shouting to himself, and his mobile phone was ringing non-stop.

Picked up the phone and saw that it was a hidden number, Chu Tianqi hesitated slightly, and pressed the answer button: "Hello, you ......"

The other party interrupted, "Where are you?"

Hearing that it was Zhang Tiankai's voice, Chu Tianqi hurriedly said: "I'm not far from the provincial government, and I can go over in a few minutes." ”

"Don't go to the provincial government, come to the Phoenix Club now. Zhang Tiankai's voice came clearly, "Do you know where it is?"

Chu Tianqi hesitated and said, "Phoenix...... I have paid attention to it before, but I forgot the specific location. ”

"On the road to prosperity. Do you know Xingsheng Road?" Zhang Tiankai prompted.

Chu Tianqi said "oh": "I remember, the Phoenix Club is on the north side of Xingsheng Road, about 100 meters away from the north exit......

"After you arrive at the meeting, you tell the front desk that your surname is Chu, and you have made an appointment with Mr. Zhang, and someone will lead you in. Zhang Tiankai continued to remind, "Don't park your car at the door, stay away from there, so as not to be discovered by someone with a heart and treat you badly." At this point, there was no sound.

Chu Tianqi put away his phone and looked at his watch, it was already ten and five in the evening.

……

At half past ten, Chu Tianqi got out of the car not far from the Phoenix Club, and drove the "Santana 2000" away with a sharp sword.

Walking quickly to the door of the Phoenix Club, Chu Tianqi looked at the sign on the door, looked around quickly, and walked in.

A young girl wearing a red embroidered gold silk cheongsam greeted her: "Sir, do you have an appointment?"

"My surname is Chu, and I made an appointment with Mr. Zhang. Chu Tianqi said it according to what Zhang Tiankai taught.

"Tianzi No. 8. The young girl shouted to the side.

Immediately, a girl wearing a pink cheongsam walked over, this girl was a little taller than the previous girl, and she smiled slightly: "Sir, please come here." ”

Chu Tianqi followed the pink cheongsam girl, and as soon as he turned to the right, he smelled the smell of the bathing center, although it was not very strong, but he could feel it, and he couldn't help but be a little puzzled.

At this moment, the cheongsam girl stopped, and a door flashed next to her, with a neon sign on the door: Tianzi.

Seeing these three words, Chu Tianqi couldn't help but smile, he thought of two things in ancient times, one was the examination room, and the other was the prison cell.

The girl had an extra card in her hand, and she placed it in the sensing area on the door.

There was a soft "stab" sound, followed by two "didi" sounds, the door shrank to both sides, and the door opened. The whole process of opening the door is similar to opening the elevator, except that here you swipe the card instead of pressing a button.

The cheongsam girl smiled slightly again and gestured, "Please." ”

Chu Tianqi hesitated for a moment and walked into the door. The moment he opened the door just now, Chu Tianqi thought that he would enter a similar elevator car, but when he walked in, he noticed that there was a corridor in front of him.

The girl followed, and the door closed.

Under the guidance of the girl, Chu Tianqi continued to walk forward. He noticed that doors flashed past him, with the words "Two" or "Three" on them.

At the end of the hallway, there was another door, there was no word on the door, and the girl stopped again. This time instead of taking out the proximity card, she pressed a small red button.

Soon, the door opened, and a girl in a white sleeveless dress appeared inside.

"Please, sir. The girl in the dress leaned sideways, bent over, and made a gesture.

Chu Tianqi turned to look at the pink cheongsam girl beside him, and the other party smiled at him and nodded.

Although it feels a little strange to be blocked by layers of doors, it is basically in line with the setting of some leisure places. Although Chu Tianqi had never been to a high-end leisure place, he had also heard that he should have to pass through several portals. And Zhang Tiankai asked himself to come here, and if he came, he would be safe. With that in mind, he walked through the door. The door then closed automatically, and the pink cheongsam girl was blocked out.

Compared to the light in the hallway just now, it was a little brighter. And although there is some distance in the corridor and several floors of doors blocking it, all the way to this point, there is no feeling of suffocation.

"Please, sir. The girl made a gesture with her right hand.

Chu Tianqi looked in the direction of the other party's gesture and found that there was another door, and there were several golden words on the door: Tianzi No. 8 Examination Room. When he saw the words "examination room", he first shook his head, and then immediately understood that this was to distinguish it from the "prison cell", so as not to arouse the taboo of the guests.

By this time, the girl had pushed open the door and stood by the door.

Chu Tianqi stepped into the door, and he found that there was a small space in the door, with two wardrobes and two leather chairs with backrests. The inside of this space is covered with frosted glass, and there is a locked door on the side of the wall, so it seems to be a space. This couldn't help but remind him of the bathing center.

"Sir, please change your clothes, do you need my help?" said the girl in the long skirt again.

"No, you don't. Chu Tianqi hurriedly shook his head, and then asked, "Why do you want to change your clothes and wait for my people?"

"All guests need to change their clothes, this is the rule of the clubhouse, after bathing, change into the clothes provided by the club, and then go inside, you can meet your friends. As she spoke, the girl handed over a bunch of keys, "This is the wardrobe key, these two are the house keys, do you have anything else?"

Chu Tianqi took the key: "No." ”

"I'm right outside the door, you can press the pager if you need anything. With that, the girl walked out.

Chu Tianqi exhaled, locked the door, and then carefully inspected the inside and outside spaces. After discovering that there were no monitoring and recording facilities, he took off his outer clothes and pants and changed into the clothes provided by the club. Although he found nothing unusual, he didn't take a bath, he just rinsed his feet, and didn't take off his most intimate clothes.

Pushing open the door on the side of the shower room, Chu Tianqi walked in, and then pushed open a door, and inside was a room. He saw that there was a person sitting in the room, it was Zhang Tiankai who had asked him to come. Including the meeting on Monday, this is the second time, and if you count the on-site meeting, it is the third.
