Hangzhou Binjiang Development Zone.

A fat man in his early thirties staggered down from the crowded No. 195 bus with a travel bag and suitcase, as if he had experienced a long journey through snowy mountains and meadows, staggering to the bus platform, squinting his eyes and looking around.

"Ah, is this it? It must be nearby......

Unsurely, he muttered to himself, pulled his vintage Nokia phone out of his pocket, and dialed a number.

"Hey, is this Mr. Liu? I'm Duan Shanshan, I'm at the intersection of Jianghan Road and Crescent. How am I going to get here?"

A young man's voice came over the phone, as if pointing in his direction.

"It's complicated, can you say it again?"

"Jianghan Road? Yes, it seems like I'm on Jianghan Road right now...... Go southeast, where is the east and where is the south?"

"I'm not a road idiot, really not, I've just been at home for seven or eight years......"

……

After a few minutes of conversation, the man on the other end of the line seemed to have given up on his attempts to point him out.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to cause you trouble. Are you going to pick me up? Okay, okay, I have a picture of me on my resume, right? That picture seems to have been taken in 2002, but I shouldn't have changed much, I'm just a little fatter. If you get to this bus stop and don't recognize me, call me again!"

Duan Shanshan put away his phone and ended this arduous conversation.

He wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead, the weather was not hot, and communicating with strangers he didn't know was the reason for his sweat.

A guy who has been at home for seven or eight years, except for going downstairs to buy cigarettes three times a month, basically lives a life without leaving home, and his ability to communicate has gradually become unfamiliar.

He took out a zero-degree diet drink from the side of his travel bag, shook it in his hand, and felt that the soda in the bottle was about to bottom out, so he unscrewed the cap, tilted his head and drank it in a big gulp. Then he walked to a nearby trash can and threw the empty bottle in.

The cold liquid entered his abdomen, which seemed to bring him a lot of vitality, at least the eyes that had been squinted slowly opened, and the whole person became refreshed.

A bus drove by, and some people waiting at the bus stop got on the bus and left, leaving several seats vacated in the originally crowded waiting benches. He pulled his suitcase and found an empty seat to sit down, waiting quietly.

Ten minutes later, a young man with curly brown hair stood in front of him, his hairstyle was impressive, as pimples as the Buddha's head.

"Mr. Duan, I'm Liu Kewei. Liu Kewei took out a pack of Yellow Crane Tower cigarettes, first took one in his own mouth, and then handed it to Duan Shanshan.

"Well, it's me. Duan Shanshan took the cigarette, also took one in his mouth, and then returned the cigarette case to Liu Kewei, "I said that I basically haven't changed, right?"

"Poof!" Liu Kewei couldn't help laughing, ", you're at least three times wider than in the photo!"

Duan Shanshan was choked, his face was red for a long time, "I don't think there is any change, and don't you recognize me!"

Liu Kewei pointed to the suitcase and said: "Such an eye-catching logo, I can't recognize the ghost." ”

Duan Shanshan pursed his lips, and he acquiesced to the other party's reason, he took out a lighter from his pocket, lit it for Liu Kewei first, and then lit his own.

"Where are you from?" Liu Kewei took a puff of cigarette and asked, "Let's go, talk while walking, I'll take you to the company first, and then go back to the dormitory together after work." ”

"Oh, okay, I'm fine...... Oh, by the way, I'm from Shandong. Duan Shanshan nodded, motioned for the other party to lead the way, and then pulled the suitcase to follow Liu Kewei.

"Poof!" Liu Kewei burst into laughter again, "What makes me happy? How can you be from Shandong with this accent! Look at my mouth shape, it's Shandong, not Shangdong!"

"I was born and raised in Fujian, and my accent may not be standard, but my ancestral home is really Shandong!" Duan Shanshan argued, and couldn't help but fight back against the other party, "Anyway, I read a post the day before yesterday, saying that in my previous life, I liked to say 'poof' and was an inflatable doll with folded wings......"

Liu Kewei was stunned for a moment, raised his head and laughed, and found another point of attack, "Regardless of whether I was an inflatable doll in my previous life, your name is very feminine! I have a senior sister named Lin Shanshan, which is exactly the same as your name." ”

Duan Shanshan covered his face with his hands, and here he came again! I don't know if this is the first time in his life that he has explained this question thousands of times.

"When my mother was pregnant with me, she was working in Taining County, Fujian Province, which is known locally as Shancheng, and this name means that I want to be as tall as the cedar trees in Shancheng. It's nothing to do with femininity!"

Liu Kewei scratched his head and said, "Yes, but it still feels a little feminine, hahaha!"

Duan Shanshan shrugged his shoulders and replied helplessly: "Whatever you say, anyway, the name was given by my father and mother, and I didn't ask for my consent when I named it......

The two talked and laughed, and the distance between them seemed to have shortened a lot all of a sudden. Before I knew it, I was under a building.

The 24-storey Glory Tower.

"The company is on the top floor, and the whole floor is ours. Liu Kewei pointed to the roof of the building, and then walked into the first floor of the building.

Duan Shanshan looked up at the roof of the building, how long had it been since he had entered such a high-rise building? In the seven years he had been at home, he had basically never left the small mountain city where he grew up, because there was basically no elevator, and the eighth floor of those buildings in the city was considered to be the top.

He shook his head, collected his thoughts, and followed Liu Kewei into the building.

The interior of the building is very elegant and luxurious, and it can be seen that it has been carefully renovated. Young men and women in professional formal attire come and go, looking very lively.

Duan Shanshan glanced around a few times, revealing a little happy smile.

Sure enough, my future office location is basically the same as I expected. Most of the men here can see the strong taste of IT men, while women tend to wear heavy or light makeup.

The so-called "development zone" is supposed to be like this.

Liu Kewei led Duan Shanshan through the lobby and went directly to the direction of the elevator.

Between the two elevator halls, there are signs of each company on each floor, some companies occupy several floors, and some floors have several companies, typical of commercial office buildings.

Under the sign, there are two simple and beautiful black marble trash cans, each with a round metal bowl fixed at the top, covered with snow-white fine sand, and a few cigarette butts.

Duan Shanshan followed Liu Kewei and snuffed out the cigarette butt in the fine sand.

Looking up at the line at the top of the sign, he silently recited it in his heart:

24F Mingzhou Information Technology Co., Ltd. Hangzhou Holy Grail Studio.
