Chapter 62: Speculation
"Guest...... ...... sent"
Holding the plastic water cup, Zhang Hui fell into deep thought.
The leaves that float on the surface of the water are golden and shiny throughout.
Zhang Hui determined that there should be no plants of this variety in the world.
But that's not the point.
The key thing is......
He looked up at the bookshop's furnishings.
Under the floor, there was a slight vibration, and it sounded continuously.
The sound of rustling in the wallpaper is also clearly audible.
At the feet of the 'Old God', who seems to have awakened, a kitten is looking at him with his beautiful amber cat eyes.
Zhang Hui bowed his head slightly to show respect.
The kitten meowed, which was a promise.
"Guest...... Yesterday's book, do you still like it? "Just listen to the owner of this bookstore, probably the awakened ancient god named 'Ling Ping'.
"Like! Like! Situ He replied hurriedly.
"If you like it!" He sat on the sofa opposite, holding a teacup-like thing, and said to Situ He and Zhang Hui, "You're welcome, two of you......"
Only then did Situ He pick up the disposable water cup.
He took a gentle sip of tea.
Sweet!
This is the first sensation of the taste buds!
Refreshing!
This is the reaction of the soul.
Just took a sip, Situ He felt that his soul had condensed a little.
Zhang Hui's eyes widened even more.
In the past, he always thought that the so-called elixir was just a legend.
But now I finally know that it is not a legend, but a fact.
It's just that his level is too low to touch.
"Drink it!" The ancient god on the other side asked.
"Very tasty!" Situ He replied, "Thank you, Your Excellency, for allowing us to taste such a delicious and wonderful tea as well!" ”
"You're welcome......" He held the cup and drank the tea from the cup.
His head was just a mist.
There are no other visible organs other than the orbits.
But you can drink tea like people.
I just don't know how He drank it.
Zhang Hui and Situ He could only see that he was holding a teacup and placing it where it might be his chin.
"Your Excellency......" Situ He swallowed his saliva and hurriedly used words to distract himself, he was afraid that he would think too much and want to taste the taste of his own meat.
"My friend ......" he looked at Zhang Hui and said, "Listen to me, you have a lot of ...... here" He considered the wording: "It's a great book, so follow me to see ......"
"I don't know what you mean?"
"Welcome!" He seemed very happy, put down the teacup and looked at Zhang Hui: "I don't know what type of books this guest prefers?" ”
Zhang Hui thought about it, and after careful consideration, he finally asked according to the original set of ideas: "What book do you think Your Excellency will like?" ”
As he spoke, he pretended to smile lightly.
I couldn't help but put my hands on the edge of the couch.
But in reality, the calf is already shaking.
Because, he clearly perceived, the moment his words came out.
There was something in the couch cushion under his buttocks, slowly squirming inside.
He felt more that something was hanging from the ceiling above him.
Something thick, insanely liquid, secreting from that thing.
This made Zhang Hui feel as if someone was holding a gun to his temple.
………………………………
Ling Ping'an put down the teacup in his hand and stood up.
He looked the new guest in front of him up and down.
The guest looked to be in his forties.
He wore a standard federal civil servant's head, and wore a suit that looked a little old, but was actually neatly ironed, without even a trace of wrinkles and stains.
This kind of formal wear is the clothing that Taizu began to promote.
It is different from the traditional scholar's official uniform in the past.
This new garment, with three pockets, has lapels and lapels.
The lines are very circulating, and the appearance is serious.
Since Taizu, it has been popular for a while.
But soon, with the development of the times, more and more young people began to feel that this kind of clothing was too serious.
As a result, it quickly became the norm for civil servants and employees of large corporations.
Privately, few people wear it.
And then think about the customer who came with him.
Ling Ping'an can almost guess it.
As the saying goes, things gather by like, and people are grouped.
He is also supposed to be an old republic.
But unlike last night's guest, this one is supposed to work for a federal agency or a state unit.
Probably also served as a petty officer.
This can be seen in the way he sits.
But the position is not too high, which can also be seen from the sitting position.
He seems to sit straight, but his body is always leaning forward involuntarily.
It's a sign of listening.
It means that he may be in the role of enforcing policies or carrying out orders for a long time.
Generally, this kind of person, in an enterprise or organization, belongs to the executor.
The level of the executor has not been high since ancient times in the Federal Empire.
Those who work hard govern people, and those who work hard govern people.
After thinking about it, Ling Ping probably knew.
He smiled and said, "Guest, have you been feeling a lot of pressure for a long time?" ”
The executors are all punching bags.
It's done well, it's not his share, and he's taking the blame when something goes wrong.
Hell if you don't have a lot of pressure!
"Do you often have nightmares?"
"Do you often dream of something terrible?"
That's for sure.
The boss scolds and urges every day.
From the beginning of the month to the end of the month, the work is always piled up.
When I get home, I will definitely have to stay up late to catch up with work, and maybe I will have to take extra time to wipe some of his boss's personal butt.
Even so, even if it's so desperate.
But......
The risk of removal and replacement is still a constant threat.
And at his age, it is very embarrassing.
The parents may still be alive and need support.
The wife's parents may also need some help.
Relatives and friends may always feel that he has great powers and is almost omnipotent.
And for the sake of face, many times, I have to hold on.
The children below are in the critical stage of junior high school or high school.
You have to supervise their studies, you have to spend special time, tutor them in their homework, and maybe, you have to do everything possible to find relationships and favor them in order for them to go to a good school.
I just want to send it to a good class with a good teacher at a good school.
Therefore, he must do everything he can to keep his job and position.
He has to work hard to prove his worth every moment.
You can't let yourself be eliminated, and you can't let yourself be a part that can be replaced.
Under pressure, it's strange not to have nightmares and not to wake up scared!
"Do you always feel like you can do anything wrong......
With the speculation of spiritual peace.
The expressions on the faces of the guests sitting opposite changed little by little.
Ling Ping'an looked at it and laughed.
He said, "Guest, I know what kind of books you will need!" ”
"Could you please wait here for a moment......"
