The Grey Age Chapter 4 The Beginning

When I left my parents' house, I suddenly felt a sense of relief. My dad is good at everything, but he is extremely dissatisfied with my current job. I think I'm always on a business trip and my job is unstable. In this regard, it is really difficult to keep my job on the one hand, and on the other hand, not to make my father too angry.

At seven o'clock in the depths of winter, the sky is already dark, and the street lamps on both sides of the street reflect the white snow, illuminating the original pure white snow like mutton fat jade.

The sudden drop in temperature made the general seem to be a little more energetic, and his sturdy limbs stepped on the snow, not to mention, this step really seemed to be like the general inspecting the school field.

The difference between the outdoor temperature and the indoor temperature is about 50 degrees, and if it weren't for the low temperature, the general might still be sick, and I even wanted to hold the general and sit quietly on the side of the road, admiring the long-lost world of silver.

After standing on the side of the road for less than two minutes, the scheduled car arrived as scheduled, and I opened the door and hugged the general and got into the car.

As soon as I got in the car, the phone rang, and when I picked it up, I saw that it was Dabin calling. This guy's full name is Zhao Dabin, and he is also a hard-working person. His parents died in a car accident a few years ago, leaving behind only an inheritance and him who had just come of age.

Dabin is a burly but very poor northern man, righteous people, we call ourselves a girl killer duo in college, but no sister is willing to contact us, imagine, a burly man, when he sees a beautiful sister, he shows a lewd smile and shakes his chest muscles, that picture can't bear to look at it directly, I fell into Dabin's pit in four years of college and couldn't climb out, so that I didn't have a girlfriend after graduation, and the girl killer really became a girl killer.

"Hey"

Just got on the phone. Before I could speak, Dabin's rough voice came out of the phone.

"Eh, you kid is not righteous, and you don't say a word to your buddies when you come back, come out and drink! Is the relationship fading or what? ”

I was speechless and a little surprised, thinking: I haven't told him that I'm back to China, how can he know?

"That, Dabin, how did you know when I just came back?"

"Auntie has posted on Moments, saying that you will come back today, come out for a drink, I have a treat"

"Forget it today, I still have to go home and clean up, the day after tomorrow, how about I invite you to dinner the day after tomorrow? I'm going to have jet lag. Let's say okay first, let's eat and eat, but forget about the amount of alcohol you drink, just pour it with a mouthful of old snow, and then I'll drink with the ghost? ”

", who do you look down on, then it's decided, tomorrow at six o'clock in the afternoon, the old place tandoor barbecue is waiting for you"

With that, I hung up the phone and put it in my pocket.

Looking around in the car, I inadvertently saw several layers of thick gauze wrapped around the driver's right hand. Through the dim streetlights, I could vaguely see a little blood soaked in the gauze. Thinking of the scene I saw at the airport today and the report of the Paula company branch on TV, I decisively asked the driver: "Master, what's wrong with your hand?" Injured? ”

Generally speaking, my brother likes to make small talk with passengers, but this brother didn't answer my questions and continued to drive. I took a closer look and found that a fine layer of sweat was on the brother's head, and the two hands holding the steering wheel were trembling slightly.

At this time, the car happened to have come to the downstairs of my house, and I quickly said to the driver: "Master, master, stop it!" ”

I didn't dare to let him continue driving, and the driver stepped on the brakes, and the general and I almost flew out of front of the windshield. I wanted to reason with him, but I noticed that the driver's face became more and more ugly, as if something was uncomfortable.

I quickly paid for the car and got out of the car, and kindly said to the driver, "Master, if you are sick, rest early." ”

This time, the driver had a brief exchange with me: "Ah, a little cold, it's okay." ”

Then he jumped out of front of me with a foot on the accelerator and hit a small roadblock in the community with a "bang", but the driver ignored it at all and drove away from side to side.

I was stunned, before that, I had never seen a driver drive into something and run away without getting out of the car to check it, what a wonder!

I walked around the two buildings with the general, and I slowly came to the downstairs of my house.

My home lives on the sixth floor, No. 3 on the sixth floor of a unit, with an area of 80 square meters, two bedrooms, one living room and two bathrooms. To be honest, the quality is not very good, and the security of the community is also very average, and there are a large number of migrant workers who often enter and leave the community, so the community environment is very bad.

My parents and I lived here a few years ago, and since I went to college, they bought a house in Riverside Flower City, and then moved out of here, so now I am the only one living in this house. Usually it's okay, but if there is any emergency, it's annoying enough to climb the sixth floor every day.

Entering the stairway, the general gasped for breath after not taking two steps up the stairs, lying motionless on the stairs. I was shocked, at this time, even fools knew that the dog must be sick, and I didn't delay, and rushed to the sixth floor with the general of more than eighty pounds.

As soon as I rushed to the jogging platform on the fifth floor, I heard the sound of the door slamming shut, and I looked up to see that it was my neighbor who was cleaning up the garbage bags on the ground, as if he was going downstairs to throw out the garbage.

After all, it's a neighbor, so it's reasonable to say hello when you meet, and this neighbor is still a very beautiful girl. I saw that she was wearing a one-piece lilac pajamas, a pair of Kumamon plush slippers on her feet, a flaxen wavy curly hair draped over her waist, very delicate, and a lollipop in her mouth, which felt a little more cute.

Seeing that I was panting and sweating profusely, and still holding a dog of more than 80 pounds in my arms, I said strangely: "What's wrong with your dog?" ”

I didn't think much of it, it was at best the simplest communication between neighbors: "Ah, maybe I'm sick." ”

With that, I'm already on my floor.

The girl saw me holding the general with one hand, and the other hand was struggling to open the door with the key, and after looking at it for a long time, she didn't aim at the keyhole, and said to me with some curiosity: "What's wrong with you dog?" Sick? ”

I aimed at the keyhole and politely replied to the girl, "yes, it seems like a cold." ”

The girl didn't say anything more, but pondered for a while, then put down the garbage bag and said to me, "I'll help you." ”

I was slightly stunned, in fact, I didn't know this girl well, and I didn't even know when she moved here, but now I really need help, so I didn't see her.

"Ah, that's a problem for you."

"You're welcome."

The girl said very neatly, and then took the key from my hand, and opened the door at once, and I thanked him again and took the key and went straight into the house.

It was very cold outside, and because I was worried about the general's health, I didn't have too much communication with the girl, and closed the door directly. The girls were also rubbing their hands against each other due to the cold outside. But what I didn't see was that the girl's gaze stayed on the general until I closed the door, and her face gradually became a little solemn. It wasn't until I closed the door completely that the girl picked up the two bags of garbage again and walked down the stairs quickly.

When I came to the house and changed into slippers, my back was already sweaty. I'm not very good at sports, I've always been a mental worker, let alone holding a general of more than eighty pounds, even if I go upstairs by myself, it's a little difficult.

When the general entered the room, he consciously walked under the sofa and lay down on the blanket under the coffee table, looking very tired and listless. I flipped out of the medicine box and fed Wen Kang to the general, and it fell asleep after a while, and my heart softened a little.

Looking around, there is nothing to clean in the house, I guess it is because my parents often come to clean it.

After a brief packing of my luggage, I sat on the sofa and couldn't help but feel a sigh of emotion when I thought back to my life abroad during this time.

A year and a half, it sounds like a long time, but my daily work is the same, eating, sleeping, experimenting, and a year and a half seems to pass in the blink of an eye. When I was in college, I chose the bioengineering major I was interested in, and after graduation, I went directly to the domestic headquarters of Paula Company for an interview. I thought people wouldn't want me at all, but two days later, I actually received a call from Paula's HR department saying that I had been hired. At the time, I thought it was a dream, but the moment I walked into the lab, holding the key to the company's allotted private closet and putting on the white coat, I realized that it was all real.

My job is to overcome the intractable diseases in human history, and it has been rare and smooth along the way, and I have been able to lead a group of researchers to develop the project on my own.

Sobering up from my memories, I looked at the wall clock on the wall, and before I knew it, it was almost eight o'clock. When I was bored, I turned on the TV, picked the channel one by one, and finally fixed on the live broadcast of the World Famous Dog Contest held in the C7 administrative district.

What I didn't see was that the general suddenly twitched at my feet...

Century Plaza, 18th Floor, Block A

In front of the floor-to-ceiling window stood two men, one with explosive muscles supporting a black suit, a shaved head, a black briefcase in his hand, and a face that would not be recognized by the crowd. Opposite him is a brown-red waist-length hair, wearing a black retro slit cheongsam, a pair of slender legs and black stockings to fully reflect her charming figure, and a pair of silver Swarovski rhinestone high heels under her feet, giving people a sense of nobility and elegance, and her mouth is painted with Armani 400, showing maturity and sexiness.

After a long silence, the woman suddenly spoke, "Ah Leng, how is the mission going?" If you make a mistake, Zuoqiu will kill you."

A wicked smile appeared on the corner of the man's mouth and replied: "Don't worry, Ah Ling, everything has been arranged, just wait for the game to start at eight o'clock tomorrow, and the plan will definitely go smoothly."

"That's good"

The woman said coldly. After speaking, he stepped on his high heels and walked out of the room with his slender waist twisted.
