Chapter 3 Life Planning

Not having to take your work home is a traditional Canadian virtue.

This kind of life often makes Yi Annie's relatives and friends who live a 996 life in China envious.

But now that Anne was tapping her fingertips on the steering wheel a little restlessly, how could she somehow bring this "unread" folder with her.

The reason for going home with the folder was the conversation with Inferno at work.

"Do you think the reason for Steven's retirement is really his age?"

When this question is not accurately pointed out, Anne really doesn't realize that 60 really shouldn't be the retirement age for Canadians with an average life expectancy of 82.

"You took over the mysterious version, not by accident, but by fate. The reason is in your hands......"

In Anne's hands was the "unread" folder that she didn't have time to peruse.

"Soon, you'll find out......"

After saying this, Inferno put the somewhat cold coffee on the table in the small conference room, and Shi Shiran left.

When Rosie came in to clean up the conference room, she saw Annie Yi, who was a little distracted.

Inferno's words reminded her of what had happened before she left the country.

After graduating from China with a bachelor's degree, Yi Annie got a job teaching at her local college through her parents' relationship.

The school is not far from home, and Anne commutes to and from work by bicycle every day, which takes less than 20 minutes each way. It's a stable and comfortable job, and the income is not high or low, but it's decent. Coupled with many familiar uncles and aunts and seniors in the school, Yi Annie has taught for two semesters and feels that life is really good.

After it is completely stabilized, it will probably enter the blind date procedure, then start a family, and then marry and teach children, and then life will be over.

But.

During the summer vacation after the end of the second semester, something strange happened to Anne.

This incident happened when Anne was traveling alone.

Anne loves to travel, and travels alone. Since college, Anne has liked to run around on her own.

At that time, the tourism industry was not as dark as it is now, and the security in the tourist area was also very good.

When I arrived at the destination of the trip, it was a little late, and the local car for the tour group to pick up individual passengers was already waiting at the door.

Helpless, Yi Annie directly to the front desk to take the room, got the room card and followed the tour group car, during the period due to weather problems outside for a night, until the last day she went back to the original booked hotel, and went back to check out directly to the next travel destination, did not have time to use the facilities of this hotel.

Yi Annie remembered that the reception staff mentioned that she lived on the top floor, so she entered the hotel elevator without looking at the floor, and directly pressed the top button, 23 floors.

When she got out of the elevator and took out her room card, she saw that her room card actually started with 24.

At first, Yi Annie thought that she had pressed the wrong floor, so she went back to the elevator, and when she saw that the elevator was really only 23 floors.

She was a little embarrassed at this time, thinking that she would not go to the wrong hotel. But if you look closely, the name of the hotel on the room card is the same as that written in the elevator, and she didn't go to the wrong hotel.

The room on the room card is 2412, and Yi Annie guessed that it would be the kind of basement that is the first floor, and the 24th floor is actually on the 23rd floor, or the middle 13th floor is not, and the reason for directly writing the 14th floor.

Secretly slandering the strange setting of the hotel, Yi Annie walked towards room 2312, this room was at the end of the corridor, she tried, this room card could not open the door.

She wondered, did she really give the wrong room card?

At this time, the cleaning staff happened to pass by, and Yi Annie asked: "Hello, I want to ask me if this room card is wrong, why is there no 24th floor?" ”

The cleaning aunt was stunned when she heard Yi Annie's words, and whispered, "How could I give you a room card on the 24th floor?" ”

Yi Annie explained to the aunt that she hadn't been to her room at all, and that she had just gone back to her room to pick up her luggage and check out.

The aunt said "oh" and said, "Then I'll take you to your room, you can clean up early and check out." ”

Eh, there really are 24 floors, huh?

The cleaning aunt took Yi Annie to a room with cleaning utensils and bed sheets, and there was an elevator with "Service" written in it, and the buttons in this elevator did have the 24th floor.

The aunt took her upstairs, and she didn't get out of the elevator directly, she watched Yi Annie get out of the elevator, and said in a low voice: "You pack up your things and leave early, this floor is unoccupied, it's not clean." ”

Yi Annie didn't think much about it at the time, and it is true that this kind of floor that ordinary elevators can't reach is probably not usually cleaned, and of course it won't be very clean. But the room in this hotel is too strange, you have to take the cleaning elevator to arrive, fortunately she didn't live here before, otherwise it must be very embarrassing to run to the cleaning room all day long.

Like room 2312, room 2412 is indeed the last room in the corridor, it is a high-rise building, the room has two walls and floor-to-ceiling windows on all sides, and the scenery is very good.

Yi Annie immediately took out her mobile phone and took a bunch of photos with the transparent window to make up for her regret that she didn't live here.

After packing her luggage, Anne found that there was still plenty of time, so she planned to take a shower.

Pushing open the bathroom door, I found that the bathroom was larger than expected, and it was facing this door, and there was another door...... But why is that door open and there's someone inside?

Curiously, Anne leaned over to see two women sitting on the couch with their backs to her.

At this time, Yi Annie found that the furnishings on the other side of the door were the same as her room, and there were two rooms sharing a bathroom in this hotel!

When the two women heard the commotion, they both turned their heads to look at Yi Annie.

One is relatively young, the other is past middle age, and Yi Annie thinks that this is probably a mother and daughter.

Seeing that the other party found out that he was "peeping", he quickly apologized, saying that he didn't know that this was another room, and he didn't mean to peek.

The mother and daughter also said that it was okay, they thought that no one lived here, so they didn't pay attention to closing the door.

So politely, Yi Annie chatted with the mother and daughter, and then realized that they were not actually mother and daughter, just a rich lady studying in the local area and her nanny, who had lived here for more than two years.

This is really a capitalist life, going to college and living in a hotel, and hiring a nanny.

Working-class Anne was in tears.

After chatting until the time was almost up, Yi Annie's bath was not completed, so she said goodbye to the two next door and took her luggage to check out. Go back or take the Service elevator, there is not even a staircase on this floor, only this one elevator.

Halfway down the elevator, another cleaning aunt came up and curiously asked Yi Annie why she used this elevator.

Anne explained to her that she lived on the 24th floor, and also took out her room card to testify against herself.

The cleaning aunt changed her face on the spot: "On the 24th floor, a girl committed suicide two years ago, and then the guests who lived on that floor often saw unclean things, so that floor was sealed and no longer lived." ”

Yi Annie was scared for a while, and she didn't pay much attention to the follow-up trip, and went home directly after the planned journey.

After returning home, I made a routine trip to my hometown in the countryside, and at that time, the shadow about this matter was not so serious, so I told my grandparents about it as an interesting anecdote during the trip.

With this, Grandpa's face changed, and he muttered, "Nini can't stay in China anymore." ”

After some operation, Yi Annie was sent here with a 12-hour time difference from China to start graduate school.

Life planning is completely wrong!
