The car entered Haicheng City, stopped in front of the Haicheng CCB Building, got off with Zhang Ningning, looked up and stared, looking at the luxurious and magnificent CCB Building in front of him, Chen Xing did not have any special feelings, Zhang Ningning next to him, when he first entered Haicheng, suddenly proposed to come here to have a look, Chen Xing can somewhat understand Zhang Ningning's state of mind at the moment, after all, this is the place where Zhang Ningning has worked for more than a year, but in the end he left unpleasant memories.

"Revisiting the old place, but things have long been different." Zhang Ningning sighed suddenly, "The only thing that remains unchanged is this reinforced concrete building." ”

"You've been working here for a while, so you probably know a lot of friends." Chen Xing smiled.

"What about acquaintance, it's easy to put the icing on the cake, but it's hard to send charcoal in the snow, when I was wronged, none of those friends stood up to help me testify." Zhang Ningning smiled and shook her head, Zhang Ningning had long been downset about the past, and being able to come here calmly today to take a look was also because she was relieved in her heart.

"Pursuing advantages and avoiding disadvantages is what human nature is." Chen Xing replied to Zhang Ningning's words, sighing in his heart, if it wasn't for his accidental help, since then he and Zhang Ningning have been intertwined like two curves, maybe his life path will remain unchanged along the trajectory that has long been fixed, now, I am afraid that he is still in the Municipal Party Committee Political Research Office as one of his deputy chief clerks, and it is impossible for such earth-shaking changes in the past six months.

For Zhang Ningning's colleagues, Chen Xing's heart was very abrupt and gave birth to a strange feeling, faintly with a trace of gratitude, if it weren't for Zhang Ningning's colleagues in the bank that day, no one was willing to stand up and help, the opportunity would not have fallen on his head, fortunately, fate gave him the opportunity, and he also seized the opportunity tightly, Chen Xing was very glad that he had received the education, never like at this moment, Chen Xing felt that the ideological education class in the school was still a little useful, When the ideological and political education class in primary school is educating children to be helpful and learn from Lei Feng's good example, who can foresee how much subtle impact it will have on children who have not yet formed their own independent world view and values.

The two stood in front of the building for a while, in front of this high-rise building, people seemed so small, looking up at the vast starry sky, people became ants-like beings.

Suddenly, Chen Xing felt that the ground seemed to shake, and frowned suspiciously, Chen Xing looked at Zhang Ningning next to him, "Zhang Ningning, do you feel that the ground seems to move?" ”

"The ground is moving?" Zhang Ningning looked at Chen Xing strangely and said with a smile, "How can the ground move?" Are you hallucinating? ”

"No, I did feel the ground moving, as if it was ...... It seems to be an earthquake. Chen Xing said with certainty, living in the coastal city of Haicheng, Chen Xing is no stranger to earthquakes, the geographical location of Haicheng is just in a seismic zone on the earth's crustal plate, although there has been no major earthquake in Haicheng in the past hundred years, but small-scale earthquakes are countless, Chen Xing also clearly remembers that there was a report of a major earthquake when he was a child, that night, he also stayed in the park with his family for a night, and the next day proved that the report was not accurate, just like a similar experience, Chen Xing is not uncommon.

As Chen Xing's words fell, as if to prove Chen Xing's words, many windows in the building opened one after another, a person was looking out, and many people had already run out of the building.

"It seems that it is really an earthquake, and those who run out, I guess they are definitely not Haicheng locals." Chen Xing smiled and pointed at the people who were pouring out of the gate with panicked expressions.

"How do you judge?" Zhang Ningning stared at Chen Xing with interest, "I don't believe it just because you say that." ”

"Hehe, it's very simple, if it's a Haicheng local, there are a lot of times that have experienced this kind of small earthquake, I see, those upstairs who are still standing leisurely in front of the window and pointing downwards should be Haicheng people, they encounter this kind of small earthquake, but they will not panic like the provinces, I remember when I was still in college, I took classes in the upper floors of the teaching building, and once I happened to encounter an earthquake, the ground didn't feel anything, but in the upper floors, it felt that the building shook badly, and the students in the class who came from outside the province, One by one, they rushed out. ”

"When there is an earthquake, anyone will panic, if you are not careful, you will die, who dares to joke with your own life." Zhang Ningning chuckled, "I've been in Haicheng for more than a year, and I seem to have experienced it once, when I was on the 18th floor of this building, and I felt that the building was about to collapse, so I rushed out without even thinking about it." ”

"In fact, if it is really a big earthquake, it will not give you time to react at all, and the moment you know that it is an earthquake, the building will have collapsed a long time ago, and there will be a chance to escape." Chen Xing looked around, and many buildings were already full of people, "I don't know if it's because of the earthquake, the aftershocks have spread here." ”

"Zhang Ningning, is that you?" Someone next to him shouted Zhang Ningning's name, Chen Xing turned his head to look, the other party was wearing a dark suit uniform, and the CCB work card hanging on his chest clearly revealed the identity of the other party.

"Zhang Ningning, why are you here." The person who came saw Zhang Ningning clearly and said with some surprise.

"Come to Haicheng to have fun, and come here to have a look." Zhang Ningning looked at his former colleague with a faint smile on his face.

"yes, by the way, where did you go after you resigned, I haven't heard from you anymore." The person who came looked at Zhang Ningning suspiciously, "Our friends, but they are always talking about you, you don't know about the earthquake just now, the building is about to collapse, we are scared half to death, and we quickly ran out, and some people upstairs are not afraid of death in the office." ”

Zhang Ningning glanced at Chen Xing, Chen Xing had a sense of inspiration, and said, "Zhang Ningning, we still have to hurry, why don't we go first?" ”

"I'm sorry, I still have something to go first, next time I come over, we'll get together again." Zhang Ningning smiled apologetically at the other party, turned around and got into the car with Chen Xing.

In the car, Chen Xing smiled, "It seems that you don't want to have contact with those former colleagues." ”

"There's nothing to talk about, I'm a person, I like it, I don't like it, I don't want to pretend to be happy, so I just glanced at you, but fortunately you understand what I mean."

"By the way, where are you going now?" Chen Xing looked at the time, "It's almost noon, do you want to go eat first?" ”

"It's okay, I'm a guest now, it's up to you, the host, to arrange, as long as you don't kidnap me and sell me." Zhang Ningning said jokingly.

"I don't dare to sell you even if I sell myself." Chen Xing shook his head and smiled, and said to the driver in front of him as he spoke.

"Miss, there's a car following us." The driver suddenly said into the rearview mirror.

"There's a car following us? Are you sure? Zhang Ningning was stunned for a moment, and his brows furrowed.

"I followed here from the provincial capital, I wasn't sure in the morning, I thought it might be a car to Haicheng, just now you got off the car, the other party's car also stopped, this will follow again, it must be tracking our car." The driver said affirmatively.

"Can you find out the people behind you?" Zhang Ningning asked with a calm face.

"Miss, I'll do my best." The driver nodded and turned his head to look at Chen Xing, "You are familiar with the roads here, you show me a small alley that is a little more remote, and it is not easy to get out if you go in." ”

The car quickly turned into an alley, the alley was relatively narrow, and the front was surrounded by a wall, it was not easy to turn around after the car entered, Chen Xing and Zhang Ningning sat quietly in the car, and looked at Zhang Ningning quietly, Chen Xing felt a little strange in his heart. Looking at Zhang Ningning's expression, he seemed to have guessed something.

After the car that was following behind entered the alley, he also realized that something was wrong, Zhang Ningning's car was parked in front, but looking ahead, it was a thick wall, and when the car behind wanted to reverse out, the driver who was already waiting on the side walked out from the side and knocked on the window, "Friend, you have followed us all the way, since you are in, don't rush out." ”

The driver looked inside, and when he saw that there was only one person in the car, the driver breathed a sigh of relief, he was also responsible for protecting Zhang Ningning's safety, if something happened, then he would be to blame.

Zhang Ningning stepped out of the car and looked at the person following in front of him, Zhang Ningning's face was a little cold, "Who instructed you to follow?" ”

"What tracking? I don't understand what you're talking about, I drove the car into this alley, what's the matter with you? The man who was following him looked left and right with his eyes wandering.

"You don't have to pretend anymore, Wang Zheng asked you to come." Zhang Ningning snorted coldly.

A trace of surprise flashed on the face of the person who followed him, and he immediately pretended to be indifferent, and said, "I don't know what you're talking about, I don't know who Wang Zheng is, I still have something to do, so I'm not bored with you." ”

Seeing the other party's instant surprise, Zhang Ningning had already got the answer, "You go, go back and tell sù Wang Zheng, if there is a next time, don't blame me for being unkind." ”
