Who is gently turning the gears of fate, over and over again, just wandering but never leaving the dial.

"Hello? Brother Jian, I'm Zhuang Yan. ”

"Zhuang Yan? Why did it take so long to call. As soon as Dong Jian opened his mouth, he knew that he was still the same character as before.

"There's something going on at home during this time, so." There are so many things I can't say directly.

"Okay, when are you coming to work with me?" After so many years, he still has the same temper as when he was discharged from the army, straight to the point.

"But I don't know what you're talking about, how can I get to work?"

"You will naturally understand when you come, hurry up, I just happened to have someone at this time, and you don't need to be trained to say a few words before you take up the post." Listening to the voice in the microphone was extremely noisy, Dong Jian was almost talking to me on the phone in a shouting voice.

"But..."

"I won't tell you, I'm busy right now. Call me directly when you get to the SAR, and I'll pick you up," only a string of beeps remained.

The distance from my city to the Special Administrative Region is not too far, two hours by high-speed rail and nearly three hours by car, if it is just to see the situation is not particularly troublesome. The day after I finished talking to Dong Jian, I decided to meet him first.

Sar? I haven't been there in a long time.

"Hello? Brother Jian, I'm here. "When I stepped out of the elevator of the subway station in the early morning, I stood on the corner and held up my mobile phone when I was full of towering office buildings, glass reflecting light, and neat streets.

"Arrived, arrived? Where's it going? As if he was still asleep, Dong Jian's voice seemed vague and fragmented.

"Just out of the Huangzimiao subway station."

"You're still so resolute, waiting for me to pick you up right away." There was another hang-up beep.

Looking up, this once small fishing village has now become one of the most famous emerging cities in the world, and his father once said that he watched this city grow up, there are no historical relics, no years of accumulation, everything is new. Vitality, growth, and youth are the marks of this young city, and without magnificent historical memory, perhaps the fearless will be fearless in the future. The people walking through the city are full of vitality and hurry, and there is no feeling of dragging a lazy walk to spend their days leisurely.

With its verdant streets, clear blue skies, and gentle sea breezes, everyone looks like sailors riding the waves, and the SAR is like a brand new ship.

"What are you doing?" Before the words could be heard on my right, a hand had touched my left shoulder.

I reflexively stepped back half a step backwards, flipped my left hand and grabbed the hand that touched my shoulder, twisted it, and quickly pulled my right hand towards the other's shoulder.

"It's still so fast." The figure suddenly pulled back my restrained left hand, and took a step back, only then did I see that the person was Dong Jian, "It's me." ”

"Brother Jian? Excuse me. ”

"Hehe, the reaction is still so fast, don't mind, let's go and get in the car." I haven't seen him for a few years, Dong Jian's appearance has become older, and the man who originally looked rough has some Sven, but he still looks the same as before.

There was a luxury car parked on the side of the street, it seemed that it should be expensive, Dong Jian took out the car key from the pocket of his leather jacket and pressed it, and put on a pair of handsome sunglasses for himself.

"You're getting livelier and more handsome." I opened the passenger door and smiled and complimented.

"Sensei, talk to me about some nonsense, let's talk, do you come over to see or come directly to work?" I haven't seen him in many years, and I don't feel any stranger to me at all, and my speech is still as simple and direct as ever.

"There are some things I still want to ask first." I replied straight to the point.

"Then go to the company first?" Dong Jian started the engine, and pushed his back with one foot of the throttle.

The neat palm trees swayed lightly in the sea breeze and beckoned to us as if they were welcome.

"It's fine."

The sedan turned a few street corners and crossed the interchanges that crisscrossed up and down, making the road unobstructed. The street scene was speeding backwards, and Dong Jian stepped on the accelerator and ran wildly.

"How's it going?" Dong Jian held the steering wheel as if asking casually, without referring to anything in particular.

"Well, it's okay." I followed with a casual perfunctory remark.

"Don't talk to me, what do you mean it's okay, who dared to tell me that today's training was okay in the company before, did you forget?" Dong Jian mentioned the past, he was a veteran at that time, and a group of our recruits who had just joined the army were not less packed up by him.

"It's okay, it's not very good." I laughed as I recalled the slips of the tongue he used to have on his lips.

"Don't worry, the income of the Special Administrative Region is definitely stronger than that of yours, it is not easy to raise children alone, and you are still a man like you." I was surprised that he hadn't changed at all, and that he had a heart that was thinner than a woman under his rugged appearance, and that many things had been seen through in his eyes.

He must have known about the past of the rainforest, but he never said a word, it was a heart disease that I couldn't escape, and I could even feel the blood rolling in my body when I poked it lightly. I don't mention it, he may never ask, I don't look for him, he may not take the initiative to find me, maybe he guesses that I don't want to face the past until I let go of the past.

"How much?" I'm straightforward.

"Five-digit, I've been very busy lately, and I don't have enough manpower, so I can occasionally go to six." I glanced at his tired face, which was hidden by his sunglasses.

The speeding car suddenly began to slow down, the street in front of it was blocked, and a continuous series of fire truck sirens not far away began to become clear from far and near. Most of the cars were parked at the street corner, and the drivers had poked their heads out of the driver's seat, while the passengers on the bus opened their windows and pointed at the nearby building. The people on the sidewalk who were in a hurry also stopped and looked in the same direction, their expressions slightly panicked.

"There's smoke coming out of the building over there." I followed the line of sight of the crowd, and about 700 meters away, there was a courtyard surrounded by a separate iron fence, and smoke was billowing from the waist of the office building, which was not too tall.

"No way, let the fire truck and ambulance go first, let's wait a while." Dong Jian turned off the car, took out a pack of cigarettes from the center console, and smoked two cigarettes.

"Don't worry, the fire shouldn't be big, it's just smoking." We sat in the car and lit cigarettes without caring about ourselves, watching the fire trucks and ambulances whizzing by, thinking about work, "What are you usually busy with?" ”

"Me? Isn't it been busy in this security company now, yesterday I helped a Hong Kong customer to do venue security, the cocktail party made it like a party, very lively, said that the business was negotiated, and it was not completed until this morning, and I didn't sleep for a while. Dong Jian took a puff of cigarette, leaned his head on the back of the chair and shook it twice, and then faced me, "Now the company is short of people, and it is tearing down the east wall and making up the west wall all day long. ”

"I don't know if I can do your job?" I also took a puff of cigarette.

"Just two moments at the subway entrance just now, I knew that your kid was not less skilled, and when the top recruited you to the special police force, you had to stay..."

I was speechless, so I took a wet tissue and extinguished the cigarette butt, and at the moment I buried my head, a loud bang with a wave of heat came through the car window and passed in my ears.

Boom, boom...

The glass of the office building, which was originally only smoking, suddenly fell from the waist of the building as if it had been blown open, and a long tongue of fire spat out from the broken window, and everyone who was originally silent on the street showed frightened expressions at the same time, and even some timid girls let out a sharp scream.

", the fire is still out of control." Dong Jian's voice raised a few decibels.

The firefighters used all their strength to raise the water cannon on the ladder and pour the water jet into the window of the jetted flame, which was finally swallowed back and replaced by a thicker black smoke. Seeing such a scene, passers-by have stepped back and chosen to avoid the road, the vehicles on the road are blocked and cannot move half a step, and the passengers on the bus have begun to get off one after another and evacuate to a longer distance.

At the entrance to the office building, a large number of workers in shirts and suits poured out, and a squad of firefighters dressed in gear rushed into the building against the crowd. At the same time, traffic police appeared on the streets and began to orderly divert crowds and vehicles.

The off-road vehicle behind us began to slowly reverse and retreat, Dong Jian also started the engine and slowly reversed, and the opposite side of the reverse lane had already been occupied by the fire trucks, police cars, and ambulances that came to us, and there was no chance to turn around.

Retreating to the nearest intersection, the traffic police had set up a barricade, and the sedan turned and drove into the other side of the intersection, and the still smoking office buildings and chaotic streets had disappeared on the other side of the intersection.

"It looks serious." I said in passing.

"I should have read the news today, huh." Dong Jian stepped on the accelerator again, and the speed of the car was instantly raised.

After a while, the car pulled into the parking garage of a building wrapped entirely in blue glass, and after a few detours, it stopped in a parking space near an elevator.

"What floor?" I got out of the elevator and stood by the button.

"Top floor."

There are a total of 55 floors of office buildings, and I pressed the top floor directly.

The elevator door opened, and the exit was directly opposite a reception desk, surrounded by glass partitions, but the situation in each partition room could be clearly seen. On the left-hand side, there are two rows of desks, chairs and partitions for ordinary office use, some young people sit in front of the computer and keep typing on the keyboard, and some of the places in the back are some independent partition rooms covered by curtains, and occasionally employees with materials will enter and exit. The glass partition on the right-hand side is home to a variety of fitness equipment and a large boxing ring-like arena with everything you need and looks like a pretty professional piece of equipment. In the boxing ring, a bare and athletic man stood in the center of the arena with his bare hands, and the remaining three men wearing boxing gloves kept attacking him, and this naked and athletic man just tried all kinds of ways to block and dodge in the center of the arena, and he didn't see any counterattack.

"Let's go, let's go find Lao Di first." Dong Jian turned into the office area on the left.

I glanced back at the sign behind the reception desk, Defensive Shield Security Company.

"Brother Jian."

"It's rare to come to work in person?"

"Brother Jian, good afternoon."
