Chapter 284: A Girl Who Is Not Afraid of the Dark
Now this SUV is a second-hand car that Guan Zhengxing bought from the graduates, the performance is good, the driving feeling is also comfortable, he has been drawing drawings for a long time and caused the cervical spine and lumbar spine to sit for a long time, this car is very in line with his physical requirements.
Just out of the city, the rain is getting heavier and heavier, there are not many people on the road in the early morning, there is a figure not far away staggering along the road, as the distance closes, I can also see his dress, dressed sloppily, his clothes are already soaked, and there is a big one on his back. The big bag, the long hair and slightly curly beard were slightly over the chin, and the walking posture reminded him of his father, who had passed away for many years.
The car passed over the person, Guan Zhengxing looked at the gradually smaller figure from the rearview mirror, and suddenly, the man looked up, he almost instinctively stopped with a foot of the brake, and reversed back.
At the moment of parking, the man who looked like a homeless man looked at the cab with a smile, Guan Zhengxing lowered the window, and was slightly stunned when outsiders saw an oriental face.
"Sir, get in the car."
"No," the homeless man waved his hand, "I'll dirty your car." ”
Guan Zhengxing smiled, "It's okay, it's raining too much, you can come up quickly." ”
The homeless man's long hair covered his eyes, and his beard was clinging to his cheeks because of the rain, but he still shook his head and thanked him with a kind smile, "Thank you, young man, for your kindness." ”
The raindrops became more and more dense like dumped beans hitting the ground and splashing water, Guan Zhengxing opened the car door and hurriedly ran over, opened the trunk, took his bag and put it in the car, and pulled people to sit in the trunk together.
"Avoid the rain for a while before leaving."
The homeless man watched as the young man took out a towel and handed it to him, "Wipe it." ”
He took it, "Thank you." ”
Guan Zhengxing bent his lower lip.
The homeless man rubbed his hair, held the towel in his hand and turned his eyes to look at the young man, Guan Zhengxing took the initiative to stretch out his hand, "Guan Zhengxing." ”
Looking at the hand that stopped in the air, he wiped it with a towel again before shaking his hand, "Evans." Are you a student of Cornell? ”
Guan Zhengxing nodded, "Yes." Are you living in Ithaca? ”
Evans was about to say and nodded, "Yes, what country are you from?" ”
"China."
"Oh...... It was a beautiful and mysterious country. ”
"It's also a country of friendship."
Evans gave him a thumbs up.
The rain clouds in the distance were split by a bolt of lightning, followed by thunder, and the eyes of both men looked at that place at the same time.
Evans asked, "What department do you study?" ”
Guan Zhengxing replied: "Department of Architecture." ”
"......," a subtle smile flashed across Evans' face.
"Doesn't look like it?"
Evans said: "It's like. He looked back, "Drawings, drawing tools, and a bunch of model consumables." ”
Guan Zhengxing retracted his eyes, "You also understand?" ”
Evans said: "A little. Then he asked, "Are you back to school so early?" ”
Guan Zhengxing went to a company yesterday to deliver drawings, the distance was too far and it was not safe to drive at night, so he stayed near the company and lived.
"yes."
They chatted in a very comfortable atmosphere, and Guan Zhengxing remembered that when he was a child, his father also took him to sit in the car in the rain and wait for the red light, which was a wonderful feeling.
Kindness has nothing to do with education, wealth, status and identity, kindness is the purity of a person's heart, and it is the warmth flowing in the blood and bones. Although there are more and more cold people and things, there are still some people in this world who will secretly warm you in their own way.
The rain stopped, and Evans continued on his way with his backpack, refusing to hitchhike with Guan Zhengxing. Guan Zhengxing took out a bag of food and daily necessities that he bought at the supermarket that day and handed it to him.
"Save it for the road."
Evans looked at him deeply, "Your name is Guan Zhengxing, Chinese." ”
"Yes." Guan Zhengxing also took out the surplus money from his body and gave it to him, and Evans pushed it again and again, "No, I don't need the money, no, you take it back." ”
Guan Zhengxing forced it to him, "Ithaca's winter is very cold, buy yourself warm clothes." ”
After saying that, the man quickly ran back to the cab and drove away.
Evans watched the car drive away, looked down at the money in his hand, and took advantage of the young man's inattention to take a business card of his, in Chinese and English, with the name, phone number and address of his company.
Guan Zhengxing turned on the computer first when he returned to school, he didn't want to miss Shen Zilu's information, and then went to take a shower and change clothes, Danai opened his eyes in a daze, yawned and said, "Just come back?" ”
Guan Zhengxing wiped his hair and pulled out a chair and sat down, "Hmm." ”
Danai asked, "Are they satisfied with the drawings?" ”
Guan Zhengxing took a bite of bread, "Satisfied, the design fee has also been settled for me." ”
"I don't understand why you're fighting so hard." Danai rolled over and continued to sleep.
If the final payment of the Dawson project cannot be recovered, there will be a large gap in the company's funds, and what he can do is to prevent it from happening, and once there is a gap in the company's funds, he will not get this loophole.
At the same time, another city on the other side of the ocean - North. Capital city.
Shen Zilu saw that the time was not early, and picked up Jiang Zhou's mobile phone again to dial Tao Xiru's phone, this time she finally answered, she wanted to get angry but was hindered by Jiang Zhou's side, so she could only cover her lips and lower her voice and said, "Old Tao, where are you?" ”
Tao Xiru replied drunkenly: "It's in the bar." ”
Shen Zilu asked rhetorically: "Have you drunk?" ”
The person on the other end of the line mumbled, "Hmm." ”
How can you drive while drinking, Shen Zilu was so angry that the roots of her teeth itched, "Where did you park my car?" ”
Tao Xiru reported the address of the bar to her and hung up, Shen Zilu awkwardly returned the phone to Jiang Zhou, who smiled, "Do you need free pick-up service?" ”
Shen Zilu's face flushed, "I'm so embarrassed, I'm sorry to trouble Lawyer Jiang." ”
"It's okay, I'm also on the way, let's go."
The two left the restaurant, and Jiang Zhou drove to the bar.
"Where do you live now?"
Shen Zilu said: "Romantic Venus Scarlet. ”
Jiang Zhou smiled, "We live quite close. ”
"Where do you live?"
"Famous Mansion Shangfu."
"Huh? It's really close, just across the street. ”
Jiang Zhou said: "It's close to the office, so I chose there." ”
"Coincidentally," Shen Zilu said with a smile: "My boyfriend also chose to buy a house because he was close to the company." ”
Jiang Zhou's laughter froze for a moment, but he quickly talked and laughed naturally, "Your boyfriend?" What to do? ”
Shen Zilu was unsuspecting of Mr. Jiang Zhou, "He opened a company, and our construction company was opened by him and his friends." ”
Jiang Zhou asked, "Why didn't I see you commuting together?" ”
"He's not in China right now, he's an exchange student at Cornell University in New York, and he'll be back next year."
"You're college classmates?"
"Hmm......" Shen Zilu shook his head, "How can I be admitted to Tsinghua University, he is from the Department of Architecture of Tsinghua University, and I am a small accountant of Beijing Institute of Technology." ”
Jiang Zhou raised his eyebrows slightly, "Your boyfriend is so powerful, an elite talent." ”
"Where," Shen Zilu smiled embarrassedly, "but I think he's pretty good." ”
Jiang Zhou saw her sweet smile from the car mirror, and the corners of her mouth unconsciously curved, her smile was very infectious, and she was very comfortable to get along with.
If, they are only men and women......
The car stopped at the door of the bar, and Shen Zilu thanked him before getting out of the car, "Thank you, Lawyer Jiang." ”
Jiang Zhou took the car keys and got out of the car with her, "There was a security problem in this bar some time ago, you are not safe as a girl, I will accompany you in." ”
"Uh...... Thank you then. ”
Shen Zilu followed Jiang Zhou into the bar, and after nine o'clock, the bar had become a lively night club, with black smoke and miasma inside, and the lights flickered, making Shen Zilu dizzy.
She found Tao Xiru in the corner, who was drunk and unconscious.
"Old Tao, old Tao?" Shen Zilu called him, Tao Xiru was already sleeping soundly, she pulled Tao Xiru's arm and was about to hang it on her shoulder, her hand was empty, and she saw Jiang Zhou setting people up, "Go." ”
"Okay." Shen Zilu hugged the other side, and the three of them walked out of the bar.
The car was parked by Tao Xiru in a non-conspicuous location opposite the bar, and Shen Zilu pressed the car lock to find out.
The person helped into the back seat, Shen Zilu closed the car door and gasped slightly: "I'm sorry to trouble you Lawyer Jiang, you can go back, I'm sorry to delay your rest time." ”
Jiang Zhou asked her, "Can you help her?" ”
Shen Zilu is embarrassed, but tonight has caused him a lot of trouble, even if people are willing to help you, you can't accept it as you deserve.
She said, "Yes." ”
"Hehe...... Jiang Zhou smiled, "Forget it, you lead the way in front, and I'll follow you." ”
"Not really."
"Let's go."
After Jiang Zhou finished speaking, he walked to his car. Shen Zilu had no choice but to lead the way in front, and the two sent Tao Xiru back to the courtyard, and drove back one after the other. After parting at the intersection, Shen Zilu's mobile phone rang, and she pressed the speakerphone.
"Lawyer Jiang, is there something wrong?"
Jiang Zhou said: "It's too late, we'll hang up when you get home." ”
Shen Zilu: "I don't need Lawyer Jiang, I'm not afraid of the dark." ”
Jiang Zhou said: "There are three kinds of girls who are not afraid of the dark, bold, independent, and no one hurts." Which kind are you? ”
