CHAPTER XXV

At 10 o'clock, the restaurant will enter a state of temporary closure.

Chen Xizhou reluctantly left his seat: "This position is so sunny and sunny, I'm really a little reluctant to go." ”

Cheng Jiyun didn't have so much spare time to enjoy the sunshine, and when he picked up his mobile phone and was about to leave, he happened to receive a message.

He opened it and saw that it was the news that Jasmine's restaurant had been verified.

"Coming?" Chen Xizhou asked.

"Hmm." Cheng Jiyun put his phone in his pocket of his clothes, "Let's go back and talk about it." ”

The two of them walked out of the dining room together, ready to go back to the small room. Walking along the street, all kinds of new cars rushed past him, silently, without any noise.

Cheng Jiyun suddenly stopped and took a closer look at the city.

The tall and dense urban complex, with its blue tone, is particularly vivid in the golden sunlight. The trees spread their huge branches, supporting the green leaves that were as lush as clouds, so green that they reflected the light.

Occasionally, a bird will make a short stop in the tree, but it will not fly to the ground.

The whole city, very quiet.

"How? Like it here? Chen Xizhou asked with a grin.

Like? Cheng Jiyun didn't know how to answer, it felt really good here, but ...... The oncoming people, neat in appearance, nodded to him with a gentle smile. Such politeness made Cheng Jiyun feel uncomfortable, do you know how to respond, but also smile and nod?

"Don't care." Chen Xizhou leaned into his ear and said, "Those who will greet you warmly are not people. ”

"Huh?" Cheng Jiyun was surprised.

"Haha, they're robots."

"What?" Cheng Jiyun's surprise turned into incredulity again, "I don't think they ...... at all It's exactly the same as a human! ”

"yes!" Chen Xizhou walked in front and said, "Completely anthropomorphic." ”

"And how do you know they're robots?"

"It's easy." Chen Xizhou replied with a smile, "Those who will greet you warmly are generally robots, because they are programmed to be kind to people. On the contrary, those who are expressionless and don't want to be close to you are all human, haha. ”

"That's ......"

"Of course!" Chen Xizhou turned around and smiled brightly at Cheng Jiyun, "It's rare to have someone as enthusiastic as me!" So, you have to cherish me! ”

"Cut." Cheng Jiyun pouted, this guy didn't want to eat and drink with him.

As soon as the two arrived at the door of the apartment building, Cheng Jiyun received another message, looked through it, and Jasmine's restaurant invited him to go for an interview at half past two in the afternoon.

So fast?

I don't feel like I have any interview experience, and I haven't even done any preparation, so I really look like I've just graduated. Cheng Jiyun reasoned with himself in his heart, no matter what he did, be sincere, at least let others give him a chance.

The elevator went up to the eighteenth floor, and the two of them went back to their rooms separately.

Cheng Jiyun has nothing of his own, except for the clothes on his body, he only has a mobile phone left. Is that how to go to the interview? At least get yourself a formal attire, right? So......

Cheng Jiyun looked at his mobile phone, he could only rely on the software on it, one-click shopping, and it could be delivered within an hour. So convenient? It's expensive, right? Cheng Jiyun doesn't dare to guarantee how much money he can use, but after a month, he will always return it, or choose the most economical one that is not ugly, right?

So how can I buy this dress if I can't try it?

There are try-on buttons on the shopping page, and Cheng Jiyun is just curious, so he pressed it, but he didn't expect the camera mode to be aimed at him. Follow the prompts and place your phone in a suitable position to show the upper body of your clothes.

How can a man be so exquisite, a black suit and a white shirt will not be wrong.

Cheng Jiyun decisively placed an order and waited for the clothes to come to the door, so that he could go to the interview with peace of mind.

Sitting on the bed and looking at the white wall in front of him, Cheng Jiyun was stunned. In the past, there were always people carved with large and small characters on the wall, including the name of the lover, the name of the enemy, some cursed words, and touching heartfelt words, and some people wrote a lot of memories on it like writing a story.

When he was first imprisoned, Cheng Jiyun once read those words, and every word and stroke was like someone showing his past in front of him.

And the most impressive thing is someone unknown, left on the wall upright – we are all prisoners of our macroscopic vision, unable to escape the trap of using everyday words to describe what we witness and perceive as real.

For this sentence, Cheng Jiyun searched the entire wall, trying to find out if he had anything left, until one day, he finally found another sentence in a corner:

That's why we need to dream.

Cheng Jiyun didn't know if these two sentences were said by the same person, but they were inexplicably related. So, when he indulged in this text, he often slept for a long time, repeatedly looking for a dream he wanted to make, he could dream of another part of his life, completely different choices, and what would be the trajectory of different lives......

"Look, that college student ......"

"For a woman?"

During the time of the break in prison, there are always people who like to gossip about other people. Cheng Jiyun doesn't like to mix with this kind of thing, what they like to say let them go, they are all boring people doing boring things.

"I heard, that woman died?"

"Dead?"

"What?" He doesn't care what others say about Cheng Jiyun, but when it comes to Shi Wei, he cares more than anyone else. "Who are you talking about?"

Since he had the courage to say it, he naturally didn't hide it, and a fat man stood up: "I said it." ”

Cheng Jiyun looked at the man who was half a head taller than him, with a fat face like a retarded person, it was a new face, and he should have just come in.

"What proof do you have for this?" Cheng Jiyun raised his head and asked.

"Evidence?" The man laughed, "This matter has been reported in the news, and none of the people in the university town have returned." ”

"What?" Cheng Jiyun frowned, a little surprised, but didn't believe it, "How do you know that there is my girlfriend inside?" ”

"Huh." The big man sneered, "You kid killed people for love at the beginning, who doesn't know, it's really rare to kill someone for a strange woman." ”

"Strange woman?" Cheng Jiyun was particularly disgusted by this sentence, "You say it again?!" ”

"Strange woman, what's wrong?" How could the big man be afraid of Cheng Jiyun's threat, but said louder, "This woman is fortunately dead, who knows what kind of demons and monsters she will become if she is alive!" ”

"Bastard!"

Cheng Jiyun slammed his chin with a punch, the big man didn't pay attention for a while, pushed back twice, covered his chin, and looked at Cheng Jiyun fiercely.

"Stinky boy!" The big man is not a vegetarian, not to mention that this head can't grow in vain, and the punch he gave to Cheng Jiyun directly made him stunned, and he fainted unconscious on the playground......

Recalling this paragraph, Cheng Jiyun could only laugh at his inadequacy, but what he was more worried about was what about Shi Wei?

He didn't believe that Shi Wei would die at all, she wasn't the kind of fragile woman, so he had to find clues about her, but he couldn't make a big deal about it.

"Knock knock."

There was a knock on the door. Cheng Jiyun ran to open the door, and it was the courier who delivered him the clothes he had just purchased.

"Thank you." Cheng Jiyun took his clothes and closed the door, looked at the time, it was almost time, just pour himself upside down, and prepare to go to the interview.

After changing into refreshing clothes, the whole person feels different and energetic.

Cheng Jiyun quickly went downstairs and walked out of the building, but he lost his direction again...... How to get to Bluestone Street?

Forget it, you can take a taxi!

The road is not congested, and taxis are beckoning.

"Hello, Intern Number: 400695, where are you going?"

"What?" As soon as Cheng Jiyun got into the car, the driver greeted him with a smile, wasn't that a series of thoughts his account number that he saw on his mobile phone? How would he know?

"Excuse me, where are you going?" Seeing that Cheng Jiyun did not respond, the driver asked again.

"I ...... I went to Bluestone Street, Jasmine's Restaurant. ”

At this time, the driver replied with a smile: "Hello, I can only send you to the nearby intersection, and you need to enter Bluestone Street by yourself." ”

"Why?" Cheng Jiyun still doesn't understand.

"I'm sorry, robots aren't allowed there."

"Huh?" Cheng Jiyun suddenly reacted, Chen Xizhou had told him just now, and all the smiling and enthusiastic people were robots...... "Are you a robot?" ”

"Yes, sir." The driver replied, "Do I need to take you to a nearby intersection?" ”

"Okay then." Cheng Jiyun agreed, and the driver started the car.

He thought to himself, are the robot's eyes scanners? How can he know that he is a trainee citizen when he gets on the bus?

"You...... Know I'm an intern? Cheng Jiyun simply asked.

"Yes, sir." The driver smiled and replied, "Your face has been archived, and the corresponding basic information has been stored in the network, so we can get it." ”

"Acquisition? Internet? Cheng Jiyun swallowed unnaturally, "Does everyone know my information?" ”

"No, it's just that the relevant departments have authority, and all we know is your basic personal information and credit information."

Cheng Jiyun breathed a sigh of relief, but looked back and remembered: "It's your robot that is connected to the Internet, so you know everyone?" ”

"Yes, sir."

"Then why do you still call me sir?"

"Because you are not yet a full citizen, you are only an intern, so the information I received is only your internship account information."

"Okay." As soon as Cheng Jiyun shut up, his mind suddenly turned, and he thought of something else, if the robot's brain was already connected to the Internet and knew everyone, could he ask them if there was a woman named "Shi Wei" here?

"The ......"

"Hello sir, you have arrived near your destination." Before Cheng Jiyun finished speaking, the driver reminded him that he had arrived.

He glanced out the window, and it was a very ordinary path, which seemed much more unpretentious compared to the gorgeous modernity of the big city.

"This is Bluestone Street?" Cheng Jiyun was slightly suspicious.

"Yes."

"Oh......" Cheng Jiyun took out his mobile phone, thinking that he was going to swipe it, "How much?" ”

"No, sir." The driver smiled and replied, "I can deduct directly from your account online." ”

"Huh?" Cheng Jiyun was stunned, "So convenient?" ”

"Yes."

"Oh." Cheng Jiyun got out of the car, and the driver quickly drove the car away.

Cheng Jiyun looked at this street, like the street he often walked on when he was a child, and he felt intimate. It didn't take long for him to find Jasmine's Restaurant.

Jasmine Restaurant, blue door, white English font, strong European style. Cheng Jiyun walked into the restaurant, and when he pushed open the glass door, a crisp doorbell would ring.

"Hello, sir." A waiter in black overalls with a white lace collar on the collar walked up to him, "I'm sorry, it's lunch break right now." ”

"That ......," Cheng Jiyun looked a little nervous, "I'm here for an interview." ”

The waiter, who still had a somewhat serious expression just now, swept Cheng Jiyun's whole body with his eyes, then turned his head sideways and shouted, "Store manager, the interviewer is here." ”

Then she motioned to Cheng Jiyun to wait, and she walked away first, and hung the Close sign at the door.

Coming out of the back of the restaurant was a woman in a black uniform with her hair neatly coiled, looking to be in her forties, just when the charm was still there.

"Mr. Cheng, is it?" She said hello to Cheng Jiyun.

"Yes, hello." Cheng Jiyun stretched out his hand a little unnaturally, not knowing if he should shake hands and express himself, but he didn't expect the other party to just smile and not take his hand, Cheng Jiyun had to retract awkwardly.

"Sit here." The manager took him to the window and sat down, then pulled out a resume.

Cheng Jiyun glanced at it, he hadn't passed this file to them, he didn't know where they got it, only some basic information about him.

"Mr. Cheng, I'm Meng Xue, the store manager here." She briefly introduced herself.

"Oh, hello Mr. Meng." Cheng Jiyun replied politely, looking at the store manager in front of him sitting upright, and immediately adjusted his posture.

"Mr. Cheng doesn't have any work experience, does he?" Meng Xue asked with a smile in her eyes.

"Hmm...... Right. Cheng Jiyun smiled awkwardly.

"I see on your resume that you haven't graduated from college, it's been more than ten years now, what have you been doing during this time?"

This question suddenly made Cheng Jiyun break out in a cold sweat on his back. He glanced at Meng Xue, the dignified and generous face, the delicate makeup made people very comfortable. Doesn't she know her background? Cheng Jiyun's eyes quickly glanced at the form under her again, there were really few things recorded, was it because of her internship status, the information was not updated in time, or because all prison inmates had been reformed and redefined?

This...... Is it really to give him a chance to start over?
