Chapter 165: Defeated
Holding a big bag and a small wrap, he went out of the room in the house, and endured the curious eyes behind the OA table, Li Xiaohe and Qin Ming gave birth to the marketing department. After passing in front of the doors, after passing through the "customer service department", I walked a few steps to the sign wall.
The same place, the same thing, but in Li Xiaohe's eyes, the entire background wall has become ugly, and the words "Cangji Foot Caiyun Craft Co., Ltd." are also much ugly.
"Two gentlemen, walk slowly." The two girls stood up and greeted politely. One of the girls also stepped out and pressed the elevator down button.
These two girls are not bad, and they still have smiles on their faces. Thinking like this, Li Xiaohe and Qin Mingsheng walked into the elevator car that had just been opened.
After swiping the magnetic card in the induction area of the car, the girl pressed the number "1" again, smiled slightly, and said "please go slowly" again.
The car door closes slowly.
The moment the car door closed, Li Xiaohe suddenly felt that the girl's smile didn't seem to be exactly a smile, but seemed to have a hint of sarcasm.
"Ding Dong", the elevator stops, and the car door opens.
After hesitating, Li Xiaohe stepped out of the elevator, and Qin Mingsheng also walked out with a big bag.
There were not many people in the hall, mainly the staff on duty. These people's eyes naturally turned to them, especially on the big woven bag.
What to watch? Lao Tzu took his own things, not stolen them. Li Xiaohe scolded secretly in his heart, scolding those who looked at him with scrutiny.
Because of the different moods, it is awkward to look at everything now, and it is uncomfortable to see anything.
After going out of the building door, they stopped, and Li and Qin walked down the stairs step by step. When I came in, I felt that there were not many steps, as if I hadn't walked. Now when I walk the steps, I still feel that I have reached the level without walking. Although they both feel that there are few steps, the mood of the two times is different, and when I come in, I feel that the steps can't stand walking. When I came out, I was in a mixed mood, hoping that the stairs would be long enough to wait until the phone rang, and to wait for the words "wait" or "you are back" came from inside.
The phone didn't ring, and certainly didn't come out expectantly. But Li Xiaohe still turned his head and looked up at the tall building again, not only to be nostalgic here, but also to leave time for others to call.
Because it is too close, and the building in front of you is too high, looking up, it feels like this concrete and steel guy is on top of his head, which makes people feel deeply depressed, and you can't breathe evenly. Rao is like this, Li Xiaohe still feels depressed, and his eyes slowly turn around. The phone still hadn't rang, and he realized that he might not enter the place again, and the security guards wouldn't allow him to trespass.
There is no place to stay here, there is a place to stay here. With regret and resentment, Li Xiaohe walked to the door, passed through the small door, and walked to the side of the road.
Qin Mingsheng stood outside the courtyard and stared back for a while before turning around and running to Li Xiaohe's side.
A taxi pulled up on the side of the road and beckoned to the two, "Where are you going?" ”
Where to go? I didn't think about it just now. Where can I go? Li Xiaohe said: "The train station." ”
The trunk of the taxi was opened at the right time, and Li and Qin put their things away and sat in the car.
At the moment when the taxi started, Li Xiaohe looked at the high-rise building again, and it was not until the taxi walked out of a section that he couldn't see the building at all, and then twisted back his neck, which was already a little sore.
……
In that high-rise building, in the twenty-seven-story room within the house, there was always a pair of eyes, paying attention to the situation outside the building, looking at the two people carrying large bags and small wraps. She saw the reluctance of the figure outside, saw the footsteps of the reluctance to step out of the hospital for a long time, and also felt the helplessness and nostalgia in those two pairs of eyes.
The two men left, full of disappointment and helplessness. It wasn't until the taxi disappeared from sight that she withdrew her gaze, slowly stepped back behind the curved desk, and sat down. Her brow furrowed slightly, and she looked at the paper left in front of her, not knowing what was going on in her head. But looking at her slightly solemn expression, it is not easy, but what it is, I'm afraid only she knows, maybe she herself doesn't know.
After pondering for a long time, her eyes were still blank, her brows were still not stretched, and she seemed to be wrinkled even more.
"Tuk tuk", there was a knock on the door, and at the same time the voice of the subordinate sounded: "Manager, it's time to eat." ”
"Oh, got it." She replied and stood up, her face changing to the slightly reserved look she was accustomed to when facing her subordinates.
……
The taxi was caught in the rolling traffic, moving at a low speed, and the traffic jammed again. Although the snail is slow, it basically keeps walking, at least it climbs more and stops less, but the taxi does not move the nest for several minutes.
I don't know if the speed of the car can't run, or the driver is reluctant to spend gas, anyway, since the car is lying down, the window has been rolled down.
"Whew", although he couldn't hear the sound, Li Xiaohe could feel it, and felt the power of the heat wave. It's too hot, it's too hot, it's so hot that it's sweating all over the body, and it's so hot that people can't breathe. He couldn't help but wonder, why didn't he feel it before he got into the car just now, was his perception system not working for a while?
The key is not only hot, stuffy, too stuffy, but also the gray sky is very depressing. People only notice the prosperity of the provincial capital, but the air here is too inferior, and they feel like vomiting when they take a breath. There are also roads and cars that are jammed outside, is this still a highway? This is clearly a parking lot, a parking lot that does not charge but does not allow drivers to get off.
No wonder the people here have cold faces or smiling tiger expressions, which are all trained by this "poison gas" and "parking lot". The environment has changed people, and the white-collar workers in the provincial capital have transformed the environment into cold-blooded animals, maybe she or he is indifferent. Li Xiaohe slandered the people here in his heart, and slandered everything he felt.
The cars outside have not been reduced by Li Xiaohe's pastime, the roads have not been cleared by his ridicule, and the air has not been improved by his "malicious attacks". Not only that, but the word "more" was added, the parking lot was larger, the weather was more stuffy, and the air was more smelly. Out of sight and out of mind, Li Xiaohe wrapped his arms around his chest, leaned back, and closed his eyes. Although those nasty things are temporarily absent in front of me, they appear in my mind again, and I continue to disgust myself.
Why are you all bullying me? Li Xiaohe let out a helpless scream in his heart.
Like Li Xiaohe, Qin Mingsheng also closed his eyes tightly, leaning on the back of the chair, his face was full of loss and helplessness, and even a hint of desolation.
Letting the car go and stop, letting the corners sway, the two of them just closed their eyes and leaned back in their chairs as if they were asleep. But how could the two of them fall asleep?
There was a "squeak", and the driver's voice sounded: "It's here, fifty-eight." ”
The two opened their eyes and found that they had arrived at the station. After paying the fare, taking the trunk and small bags, the two walked towards the station.
Although it was noon time, the flow of people in the ticket hall was still bustling, and it seemed that there were more. People are either holding bags and luggage, or helping the elderly and women, or walking alone, almost all of them are hurrying, sweating, adults shouting, children screaming, the whole hall is noisy, noisy.
Having no intention of paying attention to others, it is important to buy tickets, Li and Qin lined up in a line with a tacit understanding, and slowly moved forward with the whole team mechanically.
Not only is it hot outside, but it is even hotter in the hall, although it is not as stuffy as on the street, but there is another kind of oppression. The smell of sweat, fast food, and perfume mixes into a new smell that fills the entire space, and you can't hide from it. People are inevitably suspicious of other people's flavors, and they are also mixed flavor makers.
"Where are you going?" Finally, across the window from the serious cheeks in the window, I finally heard the conductor's stiff questioning.
Li Xiaohe didn't dare to slack off, and said to the glass: "Go to Siyuan." ”
"Not today. Will it be okay tomorrow? window.
Li Xiaohe made a further explanation: "The trip at night is ......"
"Stopped sending for some reason, didn't you look at the big screen notification? The rest of the people are waiting. The conductor's voice was impatient.
"Then ......" Li Xiaohe turned his head to look at Qin Mingsheng, "What should I do?" ”
Before Qin Mingsheng could reply, a reprimand had already come from the window: "There are people waiting behind, don't affect others." ”
"It's just, so many people, do you want to buy it?" The traveler behind him also let out a nag.
"Buy, go to Maozhong, how many points are there?" Li Xiaohe replied to all the questions and also asked questions.
"There will be a trip soon, and now the ticket inspection will begin, stand for the ticket, do you want to go?" The conductor also replied with questions.
"Two." Li Xiaohe handed in the banknotes and identity documents.
Handing out the parts, tickets, and ID cards you are looking for, a voice comes out of the window at the same time: "Next, where to go?" ”
Pick up the ticket and look at it, there are less than 20 minutes to go. Li Xiaohe didn't dare to slack off, and together with Qin Mingsheng, he squeezed out. Squeezing left and right, I got out of this hall and into another hall.
After passing through the security check, I looked around and saw the inside story of the big screen with the same number of trains, and sure enough, I was checking the ticket. The two immediately stepped forward, fulfilled the ticket inspection procedure, and went underground with the flow of people.
Walking out of the underground again, we arrived on the platform, where the train was parked.
When handing the ticket to the conductor, Li Xiaohe turned around again, looked in the direction of the city, and glanced at the high-rise building in his impression. Then with reluctance and unwillingness, he boarded the carriage.
Shortly after getting on the train, there was a long whistle and the train started slowly.
Take out your phone and turn on the screen, there are no instant calls on it, and there are no missed calls. In fact, after coming out of that building, Li Xiaohe has been looking forward to the ringing of the bell, and has been looking forward to the call from the mobile phone, and the fixed number in the provincial capital can also be used. However, the phone never rang the whole time.
The train has left the station, and the city behind it is fading away. Li Xiaohe understands that although he came here yesterday, he can only return with a disappointment now. I came with hope, and when I returned, there was only disappointment and emptiness, not ordinary emptiness, and even the "grunt" protest with an empty stomach.
