Chapter 12: Acquaintances

There was no rain outside, which made Wei Xiao involuntarily breathe a long sigh of relief, so he didn't have to take a taxi on the first day of work.

Since she came into contact with things like the Moon Spirit Stone, many of the views she had previously believed in needed to be overturned, so she became more or less superstitious. Especially when something as important as the first time I worked, I was especially sure that if I did something for the first time, it would be like this nine times out of ten.

"I mean, how short of money are you?" Qin Zhao sat across from her and shook his head helplessly.

"If I wasn't short of money, I wouldn't have come out to work."

Qin Zhao: ...... It makes sense, he doesn't even know how to refute it.

Just a few words of gag with Qin Zhao from time to time, and after a while, Wei Xiao reacted in hindsight. Since it wasn't raining outside, and there wasn't any intense sunlight at all, why did Yu Hongli still have an umbrella?

However, such an idea only appeared for a very short time, and Wei Xiao was completely attracted by the content of the book.

"How long have you been exposed to these things?" Wei Xiao put down the book and looked at Qin Zhao who seemed to be out of the world on the other side.

"It's been a long time," Qin Zhao glanced at her sideways, then turned his gaze away, and his voice became long and indistinct: "I can't remember the specific time clearly, what's the matter?" ”

"Not much, it's just emotion. When you really see and come into contact with these magical things, it should take a long time. ”

It's rare that Qin Zhao didn't raise the bar with her this time, but after humming, he didn't speak again. Wei Xiao leaned back and leaned on the back of the sofa. The knowledge and insights she saw in the book reverberated in her mind repeatedly, gradually coming into contact with her own memories and experiences.

Wei Xiao was still in college at that time, the campus was local, and she also handled the residence on campus, but most of the time, she still chose to stay at home. Even though she had to fight with Wei Ming and the others day after day, she still stayed. It is always inevitable to expect that one night or early in the morning, Xiang Lan will suddenly appear on the street. Because of the magical telepathy, she woke up from her sleep and was able to see Xiang Lan standing downstairs by the street lamp.

Even if you know, such a probability has become smaller and smaller with age, and it can even be said that it is impossible.

It is because of this indescribable expectation that Wei Xiao will always wake up in the middle of the night, turn on the desk lamp lightly, and then stare out of the window for an hour.

Then, she saw a huge immortal bird appear next to the street lamp, and the phantom that was weak at first gradually became clearer and clearer. But such a large immortal bird completely disappeared without a trace during the day.

Wei Xiao thought that he might have some kind of strange hallucination, until one morning, the immortal bird began to turn into an entity intermittently, and he could even see its rhizome slowly spreading in all directions very clearly.

The next day, there was still nothing where the undead birds were located in the early morning, but Wei Xiao found that the nearby plants had withered to varying degrees.

It was also the same night that Wei Xiao had been hanging on the wall, and the long black knife left by Xiang Lan made a roaring sound.

"For a long time, I felt that there were a lot of things around me that I couldn't see for the time being but could always exist." Wei Xiao's smile was a little bitter, and he said in a low voice: "Even after finding out later that it can be solved with spars and specific weapons, I still feel the same way." ”

"The invisible pressure, as well as the consciousness formed by one's own brain supplement, can easily crush a person after reaching a certain limit." Qin Zhao nodded noncommittally, and after a while, he spoke casually: "Many people are like this, but you have carried it over, and your mentality has not been affected in any way." ”

When he said this, his voice was very soft, easily covered by the sound of rain outside. Wei Xiao didn't hear it clearly, and sighed suspiciously, but Qin Zhao didn't continue to speak.

There was a slight vibration on the mobile phone placed on the desktop, Wei Xiao clicked on the message, and as expected, it was a series of complaints sent to her by Yu Lingling.

Since Wei Xiao started working, Yu Lingling took the initiative to divide her into the camp of miserable social animals, and from time to time she gave Wei Xiao all kinds of strange things that she encountered in the company. It's just that whether it is the intrigue between colleagues or the ruthless oppression from excess workload, Wei Xiao has never experienced it.

Yu Lingling: Are you still making up for your company's past history and main business? It's been four days!!

Wei Xiao replied with some humility: Yes, all kinds of details, the content of the conversation meeting or something, all have to be mastered with one hand. I have to draw my back next week, and it will be dangerous if I can't answer the probationary period.

Yu Lingling: Speechless, then you still have to be more persecutive and sympathetic to you. Got time this week? Come out shopping.

Wei Xiao: Forget it, I'll continue to memorize information at home.

After Wei Xiao chatted casually with the other party for a few more words, he got up and poured himself a cup of coffee. If Yu Lingling knew that she was "memorizing information" in this situation, she would be hunted down nine times out of ten, and it would be the kind that ended badly.

From the beginning of her employment, Qin Zhao let her stay here. The strange thing is that no matter what time of day, the door of the bookstore must have been open when she came. It's just that Yu Hongli is not necessarily here, but Qin Zhao still comes to report every day, sitting opposite Wei Xiao, as if he is a professional point reader.

If Wei Xiao doesn't understand anything or can't understand, ask it, and the other party will definitely be able to answer it immediately. Although it has only been four days, what she has learned and learned in the past few days is many times more than what she learned in the past few years, regardless of the blindness of a person.

"I'm so worried." Wei Xiao put down the book, crossed his hands on the table, put his chin on it, and looked up at Qin Zhao, who was sitting drowsy opposite.

Hearing the sound, Qin Zhao nodded violently, looked at Wei Xiao and hummed suspiciously. His eyes were slightly wide, and he was all dazed, as if he had just woken up.

Wei Xiao sat up and looked at the other party speechlessly.

"What's wrong?" Qin Zhao rubbed his eyes and asked. Now he was completely awake, but his voice was still thick nasal.

I really fell asleep.

"I'm so worried." Wei Xiao thought about it, but repeated what he had just said.

"Worried about what?"

"I'm worried about whether the company will go bankrupt directly, and the only two employees in the company sleep here every day, and the other study with pay every day."

Not only their company is like this, but even the bookstore owner Yu Hongli is also, and he often can't see people. Even if it appears, it's just an image of an otaku with a scruffy beard. Only when I go out once in a while, will I simply clean up. Rain or shine, you have to bring that long black umbrella.

Not to mention the business in the bookstore, since Wei Xiaolai, he has not seen any customers. But think about it, in the Internet era, there are not many people who are willing and like to read books, and most of them go to some Internet celebrity bookstores with more regular books and good photos. This kind of store with a small faΓ§ade and a dilapidated store, and few serious books, ordinary people don't like to come.

"Heh, you don't understand this, do you?" Qin Zhao regained his spirits, snapped his fingers triumphantly, and said, "Don't you know that our line of business has not been open for three years, and it has been open for three years?" ”

Wei Xiao: ...... What a sales speech this is!

"Besides, I said I have a mine at home."

Wei Xiao: ...... What a trench inhuman statement this is! Spar veins are worth a lot more than ordinary metal ores.

"By the way, you haven't taken any action on the matter of Zhongchuang Industrial Park?" Qin Zhao also took the book out casually and asked in a leisurely manner.

"I haven't thought about it yet, I'm going to check it out tomorrow."

Although she swore in front of Qin Zhao that she would solve the matter of Zhongchuang, until now she has not thought about how to deal with it, and even the time to check it has dragged on for several days.

Zhongchuang, not only Triangle Mei, but also Wei Jianguo and Wei Ming. If it wasn't very necessary, Wei Xiao really didn't want to have any contact with them at all.

"Whatever you want, it's something that counts in the assessment period anyway." Qin Zhao shrugged his shoulders, looking like he didn't care at all, and just reminded: "I can not compete with you, but it doesn't mean that there are no others, the pioneers of Rongcheng, you should have been in contact with a lot." ”

Wei Xiao nodded, a little frustrated.

If it was when she was working alone in the past, she would not be curious about the matter of Zhongchuang from the beginning, let alone participate, at most, she would go for a walk or two laps in the early morning to roughly understand what the situation of the Moon Spirit Stone was this time, and what kind of state it appeared in and affected the reality.

But now, it's no longer her business alone, and she always has to deal with these situations that she has to face.

The triangular plum of Zhongchuang, the power of the moon spirit stone was not very obvious before, and it is estimated that there are not many people who perceive it. But after so many days, the power of the Moon Spirit Stone should gradually increase, and the longer it drags on, the easier it will be to be noticed by more people.

"Coming?" Yu Hongli's voice sounded on the counter, Wei Xiao subconsciously turned his head sideways, looked at Qin Zhao suspiciously, and asked in a low voice: "Eh, when did Boss Yu appear, I didn't even hear the sound." ”

Qin Zhao looked calm: "It's normal to be ghostly." ”

"Seems to make sense......

There were two rare newcomers in the bookstore, just dressed up quite stylishly, with a wide T-shirt with long sleeves, hip-hop jeans, and hair highlighted and dyed in color. No matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like you're going to come to this kind of bookstore to read books.

Nine times out of ten, they are still "pioneers".

Wei Xiao suddenly became interested, the more information he read, the more curious he became about the Moon Spirit Stone and the Pioneers, and he always couldn't help but want to know and contact more. Now that you have the opportunity to meet other peers, of course, you should take a few more looks, and it would be better if you could sit down and talk to each other.

It's just that unlike her expectations, Qin Zhao still looked like he was not interested, took a book and put it on his face, lay on his back on the sofa and continued to sleep.

"You're not curious?"

Qin Zhao's voice came out through the pages, a little sullen: "I'm not curious." ”

"Why?"

"How can there be so many why? There are so many differences between people and people, even if they are in the same profession, there will be a world of differences. Since many people are not in the same path at first glance, no matter how hard they work later, there is no way to go all the way. ”

This is the first time Qin Zhao has said such a long sentence today, and it still sounds like it has a deep meaning. Wei Xiao glanced at the other party suspiciously, and didn't notice anything different from usual, so he had to give up, and quietly looked at the two people who were still standing at the counter through the gap by taking advantage of the bookshelf in front of him.

"Haven't you seen them head-on yet, who knows if it's all the way? Eyes on this thing, I think I ......" Wei Xiao said as he spoke, and his voice suddenly became full: "In this regard, it's quite ......"

Qin Zhao waited for a long time, but didn't wait for the second half of her sentence, and couldn't help but feel a little strange, took down the book covering his face, and saw Wei Xiao looking extremely flustered, holding the book to cover his face. Leaning in the direction of the wall, as if trying to minimize his presence, he almost buried his face on the table.

"Enemies or acquaintances?" Qin Zhao looked at the two people on the other side of the counter and asked with interest.

"None of them can be counted, none of them can be counted!" Wei Xiao still pressed the book on his face, thought about it and said: "It can only be said that it is an acquaintance, no, it cannot be said that it is an acquaintance, at most it is seen once." ”

"I can't seem to have seen it, they shouldn't have seen me!" When he said the last half of the sentence, Wei Xiao suddenly became a lot more excited, raised his head from the book, and his eyes lit up: "Yes! They shouldn't have seen me hahaha. ”

Qin Zhao was speechless, watching her struggle back and forth like this, and burst out laughing.

Before Wei Xiao could say something, he heard the two people on the other side of the counter speak again.

"Alas, the fragments of the Moon Spirit Stone in the flower garden this time are too small," the young man with a handful of red hair in his hair sighed long, and his tone seemed to be very unhappy: "I've been squatting for so long, and it's not as big as the water floating lotus I saw last time!" ”

"Isn't it because of you?" The other green hair spat disdainfully, and snorted coldly: "If you hadn't robbed me at that time, I would have already finished that water floating lotus, okay?" ”

"Blame me? Obviously you and I grabbed it, okay? I've been squatting over there for a few days, and the day the water floating lotus appeared, I squatted from the afternoon to the early morning, if you hadn't come to interrupt, would this kind of thing happen? ”

"Hehe, this thing is also particular about coming first and then coming? Come on, we can't fight a little girl, it's really not a face-saving thing, and I feel ashamed to say it. ”

The dispute between the red hair and the green hair became louder and louder, and the expression on Wei Xiao's face became more and more empty, and the corners of his eyes and eyebrows even carried a faint sense of pride.

What is the name of the sandpiper and the clam fighting, and the fisherman profiting? That's it!

Qin Zhao glanced at her amusedly, and Wei Xiao raised his eyebrows proudly, completely losing the nervousness just now.

It's really a face-changing artist.

"That's right, Brother Hong Li," the green hair finally gave up and continued to do useless entanglements with the red hair, and began to turn his head to please Yu Hongli, who looked indifferent behind the counter, and said, "Tell me about it, who is the person who came to give you the water floating lotus last time?" ”

Yu Hongli chuckled, glanced in the direction of Wei Xiao as if nothing, flipped through the book in his hand, and said, "What, you want to seek revenge?" ”

The smile on Wei Xiao's face instantly cracked.

These two people are indeed not acquaintances with her, but they didn't expect to be Yu Hongli's acquaintances!
