Chapter 153: Emergency Evacuation
Gao Qian pushed all the bags in her hand into Lin Dong's arms, and said coquettishly: "You mention it!" ”
Lin Dong glanced at the underwear in the bag and said with a smile: "Qian, your style has changed recently, how did you buy all the surnames?" ”
Gao Qian turned her head and glanced at him, "Isn't it to please you men!" ”
The two entered the store, and the clerk saw the two of them come in, and when they saw what they were wearing, they knew that they were rich people, and they greeted each other with a smile and enthusiastically recommended new clothes to Gao Qian. Lin Dong sat down on the sofa in the middle of the store, and after a short time, a short and fat man walked in with a tall and beautiful woman.
Lin Dong was stunned, the woman next to the short and fat man was Chen Jia. Chen Jia also saw him and walked towards him, a far-fetched smile on the corner of his mouth, "It's you, what a coincidence......"
Lin Dong seemed to be choked by something in his throat, and smiled slightly: "Yes, what a coincidence, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”
The short and fat man smiled and asked, "Xiao Jia, do you know each other?" ”
Lin Dong got up and stretched out his hand, "Hello, I'm Lin Dong, Chen Jia's college alumnus!" He had recovered from his initial astonishment, and his expression was as usual. It's just that he didn't expect that Chen Jia would marry such a lovely man who was not worthy of her no matter how he looked at it.
Chen Jia took the arm of the short and fat man and introduced, "Lin Dong, this is my husband Cai Yongfei." ”
Cai Yongfei stretched out his hand and shook Lin Dong's hand, the two stood together, he was a head shorter than Lin Dong, "Hello Mr. Lin, Xiao Jia, why do I think Mr. Lin is a little familiar, have we met somewhere?" ”
Chen Jia smiled: "You've seen him on TV, right?" Lin Dong has been on the program of the financial forum, do you remember? ”
Cai Yongfei also speculates in stocks, but he is busy with business, he is long-term, when the market is good, he can make a lot of money by buying a few stocks and putting them away, and the stock market has been bearish for five years, and the money he earned in the bull market has already lost even the principal and interest. Because Chen Jia works in the column group of the financial forum, Cai Yongfei will watch almost every issue of the financial forum, even if he misses the live broadcast time, he will find a video on the Internet to watch it when he is free.
"I said how it is a little familiar, it turned out to be Mr. Lin, fortunately, I will be lucky!" The smile on Cai Yongfei's face became brighter, he was in business, and it was inevitable that he would not be sophisticated and tactful, although it was the first time he met Lin Dong, he showed great enthusiasm, holding Lin Dong's hand and not letting go, as if he had not seen an old friend for a long time.
Chen Jia pulled him and said, "Yongfei, don't hold other people's hands!" ”
Cai Yongfei let go of his hand and said with a smile: "Mr. Lin, if you have time to be a guest at home, you and Xiaojia are old classmates, so you must walk around often." ”
Lin Dong smiled and nodded in agreement, but he was thinking in his heart, if Cai Yongfei knew that he had that kind of relationship with Chen Jia, would he still be able to laugh?
"Lin Dong, Director Zhang has asked me several times to invite you to be a guest on our show, I know you've been very busy lately, so I didn't look for you. If you're free, call Director Zhang, okay? Chen Jiadao.
Lin Dong said with a smile: "The old classmates have all spoken, can I not give Director Zhang's face, can I not give your face?" You reply to Director Zhang, ask her to arrange a time, and then tell me that I will spare time to go. ”
Chen Jia didn't expect him to agree so happily, and he was overjoyed, thinking that she still had some weight in Lin Dong's heart, otherwise he wouldn't have given Zhang Meihong face but gave her face, "Okay, I'll talk to Director Zhang when I go to work tomorrow." ”
"Lin Dong, let's go shopping elsewhere, goodbye." Chen Jia took Cai Yongfei's hand and walked outside.
Cai Yongfei turned around and said, "Mr. Lin, you must come to the house when you are free......
When the two of them left the store, Chen Jia couldn't help but glance back at Lin Dong, his affectionate eyes were like deep pools of water, hiding many unspeakable grievances.
Gao Qian tried on the clothes, walked over, and asked, "Do you know those two people just now?" ”
Lin Dong said: "The woman is an alumnus of my university, and the man is her husband." ”
Gao Qian sighed, "Alas, a flower is stuck in cow dung. That woman is young and beautiful, why did she marry such a man? I think the man is at least seven or eight years older than your alumnus. ”
Lin Dong shook his head, "I don't know much about other people's affairs, Qian, have you picked it well?" ”
"Okay, just wait for you to swipe your card!"
Lin Dong walked to the counter, swiped the card, and the two coats were added together, with a total price of more than 10,000 yuan. Lin Dong picked up the bag, Gao Qian took his arm, and pulled Lin Dong to the men's area on the third floor.
"Dong, you spent so much money for me, I also have to buy two clothes for you!"
Lin Dong refused at first, saying that the cabinet with too many clothes could not be placed, but Gao Qian insisted again and again, pulled him to the third floor, and picked out two windbreakers for him. Lin Dong is tall, and now he is much stronger, coupled with his angular and impressive face, after putting on the windbreaker, Gao Qian quipped: "Dong, you can be a graphic model if you are handsome." ”
After buying clothes, the two walked towards the exit of the mall. Lin Dong suddenly remembered something and said: "Qian, Mr. Li's small courtyard has been demolished and divided, if you are free, help me with the decoration of Zhang Luo, I really don't have time to get this." ”
Gao Qian jumped up happily, "Yes, tell me quickly, where is the house?" ”
"Room 901, Building 8, Maple Bay, is not big, 90 square meters."
Gao Qian wondered in her heart, "Is this a resettlement house for demolition?" Maple Bay is also a high-end residential area. ”
Lin Dong smiled: "I have a college roommate in the Construction Bureau, so he is in charge of this area, and he also helped me get this house." ”
Hearing what he said, Gao Qian understood, and said with a smile: "I really don't know where you got such good luck!" It's obviously renting a house, but the owner gives you the house. Soon after, it was demolished again, and it was distributed to millions of people, not to mention that it was still related to getting such a good house. ”
At nine o'clock in the evening, there were still many people coming in and out of the mall, and no matter how tense the situation outside, it was still a peaceful and prosperous place. Under the bright lights, someone is playing the guitar, singing a traveler's song "Where is Home", someone is kissing in the crowd, no matter how big the world is, there is only each other in their world at that moment. Under the street lamp, there are also beggars kneeling on the cold concrete floor, with broken felt hats covering their heads, and no one knows what he looks like or who he is, because no one will pay attention to him at all.
Lin Dong took out his wallet, took out a big red bill, and put it in front of the beggar, and suddenly, the beggar raised his head, his eyes were full of gratitude, and he wanted to say something, but he could only make a hoarse and mocking sound.
"It's a mute." Gao Qian said, "It's pitiful. ”
Lin Dong smiled at the man, and after he walked away, the beggar with the broken felt hat lowered his head again.
I went to have some supper with Gao Qian, and before getting in the car, Lin Dong gave Gao Qian the key to the resettlement house, "Qian, decorate according to the style you like, I'm lazy, so I just ask." ”
Gao Qian grinned, "Hehe, then I'm welcome, after the decoration is completed, don't say you're dissatisfied." ”
Lin Dong kissed her on the forehead, looked at Gao Qian's flickering eyelashes, and said with a smile: "No, your aesthetic vision is much better than mine, and it will definitely satisfy me." ”
After chatting a few words next to the car, Lin Dong asked her to go first, and only after Gao Qian drove away did he get into the car.
The next morning, Lin Dong came out of the office of the asset operation department, entered his office, picked up his mobile phone and saw a call from an unfamiliar number, this number was very strange, and a long list of numbers he had never seen before was added. He searched on the Internet and learned that this was an international call from the United States, and he was immediately overjoyed, knowing that it should be Wen Xinyao's call.
So he picked up the phone and dialed back, and within the minute that the phone was connected, he suddenly realized how much he wanted to hear Wen Xinyao's voice.
"Mr. Wen, is that you?" The moment the phone was connected, Lin Dong said in a trembling voice, a little anxious and a little expectant.
Wen Xinyao's laughter came from the phone, "Lin Dong, do you still need to be nervous to call me?" Look at how your voice trembles. ”
Lin Dong defended: "I don't, where am I nervous, maybe international calls are like this." Mr. Wen, how are you over there? ”
Wen Xinyao leaned on the bed tiredly, "Just here, I'll call you after everything is done." Don't worry, I'm okay in the U.S., I have many friends here. ”
"That ......"
Suddenly, the sound of air raid sirens echoed over Sioux City, and for a moment the office was in chaos, and they rushed to the windows to see what was going on. Ji Jianming ran into Lin Dong's office and panted: "Mr. Lin, I just came back from outside, the air defense exercise, and asked the employees of all units in the building to evacuate urgently!" ”
"Lin Dong, what's wrong?" Wen Xinyao couldn't hear Lin Dong's voice and asked anxiously.
Lin Dong said in a deep voice: "Mr. Wen, I won't tell you first, the city is engaged in air defense exercises." ”
He hung up the phone, walked outside with Ji Jianming, gathered all the staff, and said: "Don't panic, everyone, this is just a drill, now we are required to evacuate urgently, our company is on the eighth floor, it is not high, there are only two elevators, it is definitely not enough, let's take the stairs." All of them! Stop all your work and leave the building immediately! ”
Lin Dong and Ji Jianming stayed to maintain order, and after everyone had withdrawn from the office, the four of them finally left the office. The hallways of the building were chaotic, and from time to time there were shouts and cries. A girl's mobile phone fell to the ground, and she just bent down to pick it up, but was pushed to the ground by the crowd behind her, knocking down a group of people at once.
Now that they can't care which company's employees are, Lin Dong and the others have been maintaining order in the aisle, loudly reminding everyone not to panic. He pushed aside the crowd and finally walked to the elevator, and saw that there were still many people blocking in front of the elevator, and he suddenly became angry, thinking, if there was really a war, or a fire or earthquake in the building, would they still wait for the elevator like this?
