The car drove a long way, and finally arrived at a place to go, Wang Xin asked, "Why did you go so far to eat?" ”

"You don't understand, only here is authentic!"

Wang Xin admitted it, and after eating xiaolongbao, Wang Xin didn't think it was delicious. Then Qu Meifeng said, "I'll take you to a good place, right?" ”

"It's good to go anywhere in Shanghai, but don't go too far. In case Manager Xing calls, we will have to go over immediately! Wang Xin acquiesced, since this Xiaofeng seems to be very familiar with this place, it is not bad to let her take a look at the scenery of Shanghai. It's a long way again, so Wang Xin asked, "Xiaofeng, why do I think we're going back?" ”

"That's right, Mr. Wang's sense of direction is really accurate!" Qu Meifeng lost no time in flattering.

"Come down!" When they arrived at a gate, the taxi stopped, and Qu Meifeng raised her legs and got out of the car first. Then Wang Xin came down, and when he saw that it looked like a school, Wang Xin asked, "What are we doing here?" ”

"Don't worry, you'll find out later!" Qu Meifeng got closer and Wang Xin said again, "Let's go straight in for a while, don't talk, don't look around, just follow me!" ”

Wang Xin thought about what this girl was going to do, making it so mysterious. But he still did it according to Qu Meifeng's request, and when he passed through an arch, his eyes walked forward in a hurry, and after about a few dozen meters, Wang Xin asked again, "Where is this?" ”

"Earlier, did you see that?" Qu Meifeng pointed to the back of the building, there was a tower, but it only showed a pointed roof, but it could be seen to look like the roof of a church. Wang Xin said, "Do you want to go to the church?" ”

"Mr. Wang, this is the school, okay?"

"What school?"

"Art school wow. This is the back door, the student dormitory. If outsiders are not allowed to enter the front door, they need to register. ”

Wang Xin seems to have understood, is she going to take me to see the place where Mai Sui once studied.

Walking through the dormitory building, several antique old-fashioned buildings immediately appeared in front of them, and there were some faint music sounds from inside, ethereal and distant, "This is our teaching building!" ”

"We? You? ”

"Yes, my sister and I!"

"You're a student here, too?"

"That's right! What do you think? ”

Wang Xin probably understood why Qu Meifeng came here. Whether the alma mater is a university, a middle school or an elementary school, there is a kind of alma mater complex when you become an adult. It's human nature. "Xiaofeng, why have I never heard you say that you and Mai are always classmates?"

"I can't say it's a classmate, at most it's an alumnus. I just entered the school when she graduated. Let's go, it's forbidden to talk here, let's go out in a circle, and I'll tell you again! ”

Wang Xin did come to be interested this time, seeing these buildings more than a hundred years ago, I don't know how many unknown stories are recorded in them, maybe many modern big people have studied and worked here. In the past, when the teachers mentioned Shanghai in the thirties, it seemed to be very prosperous, so that the students of that era had a desire to go to Shanghai when they grew up. Later, after the reform and opening up, many movies and TV series about Shanghai in the thirties were all the rage, which added to the mystery of the city. When I got off the plane today, before entering this campus, Wang Xin didn't feel any difference, if I had to find a difference, it was that the dialect here was different from the south, and women here liked to perm their hair with curls, which was also different from the south. But when I entered this school, I felt that it was older than those buildings on the side of the Pearl River, and the sense of vicissitudes could be found at a glance. It's better to go to such an environment and make people unconsciously feel a cultural atmosphere. In the end, it is an art school, that is, the decoration of the campus, the design, the corridor, the flowers and plants, the leisure chairs, and the sculptures, all of which are completely different from Wang Xin's past campuses, revealing a feeling of both naturalness and carving. He glanced at Qu Meifeng inadvertently, he always felt that this girl should belong here, and she should not sit in the office and be influenced by the smell of copper. It was just a momentary thought, passing through an artificial lake, surrounded by greenery, so Wang Xin couldn't help but sit on those stone benches and feel the tranquility here. He suddenly seemed to have made a discovery, so he stopped Qu Meifeng, who was running in front, "Hey, why are the bluestone slabs here so smooth?" ”

"Of course it's smooth, hundreds, maybe thousands. It is said that it was originally built by officials of the imperial court, and after many generations of construction, it gradually became like this. When I was studying here, there was still a barbed wire fence around the lake, so I could only look outside, and I couldn't get in. ”

"Why do you want to seal it up?" Wang Xin is very strange, such a good scenery, wouldn't it be a pity to seal it.

"I don't know, it's just that some of the classmates have legends, as if someone once jumped into this lake, so it was sealed."

"Looking at this, the lake doesn't seem to be deep, and it is estimated that a person will not be able to bury his waist when he goes in!"

"No, it's definitely deep. Many students say that you can see ghosts in the middle of the night. That's why I didn't dare to come alone in the past. If you pass through here, it's a detour. ”

Hearing Qu Xiaofeng's description, Wang Xin looked at the green water, and seemed to feel that there was really a female ghost who suddenly jumped out of the water, wearing a white dress, because she couldn't see her face, her figure looked like Xiaofeng, the female ghost flew in front of Wang Xin, and came up to ask, who are you and what are you doing here? Wang Xin was stunned all of a sudden. In a trance, the female ghost was gone, Wang Xin opened his eyes and found that he was still on the bluestone bench, Qu Meifeng was walking over, "Wang Xin, what did you shout just now?" ”

Wang Xin still remembered the scene just now, he looked at Qu Meifeng in front of him, the figure was really too similar, but it was a pity that he didn't see the true face of the female ghost, he said hesitantly, "It's okay, suddenly a little tired, I want to doze off!" ”

"Forget it, I think you're definitely scared by a ghost. I used to be afraid of ghosts at the same table, but once I came here, I said that I saw ghosts, and I fainted, and finally I went to a small hospital to play a hanging bottle, and I lay on the bed for two days before I got better! ”

Hearing Qu Meifeng say this, Wang Xin said in her heart that she was not afraid of ghosts. When he was a child, he will never forget that scene in the cemetery. That day, I went to the field with my father to look at the crops, and he was so young that he fell asleep with his head on the pillow. His father went to smoke and chat with people nearby, but Wang Xin seemed to dream of a ghost in his dream, which scared him awake, and he saw a ghost fire flashing and flashing, he was very scared, and ran away, but the crops that had just been harvested in the field were scattered in the field, and if he couldn't run a few steps, he would fall down once, and seeing the ghost fire chasing him, he got up and continued to run, and when he got home, he was sick. Pills and injections didn't work, but in the end, the elders in the village said to go and burn some paper money, and maybe it would be better. Don't say it, it's really spiritual, his mother did it, and Wang Xin was fine the next day. But since then, he has been left with a sick root, and he is afraid to hear about ghosts. Even at night he was afraid to walk alone, and later even in the dark house, he was afraid. So when Qu Xiaofeng mentioned ghosts today, he hallucinated in front of his eyes.

"Let's go! Let's go out and have a drink! Qu Meifeng greeted and said.

Wang Xin wanted to stand up, but she felt that she had no strength in her legs when she got up twice, and when Qu Meifeng saw it, she smiled and said, "Mr. Wang, you won't pee your pants, right?" With that, she ran away!

Wang Xin tried two more times before he could stand up and leave the lake, and he had a strong feeling in his heart that something unforeseen would definitely happen. This has happened in the past, every time, something big will happen, but there are good and bad, I don't know what it will be this time?

He walked for more than ten steps, feeling that there was nothing to do, so he hurriedly caught up with Qu Meifeng, "Wrong, we didn't come from here just now!" ”

Qu Meifeng ignored him and kept walking forward. Soon saw the solemn building in front of him, although it was not very high, but that majestic and solemn Wang Xin knew that this was the administrative building of the school, and the principal and leaders worked here. In front of the building is a huge square, which is divided into east and west, with a long waterway in the middle, and water flowing in the white marble canal until it reaches the great iron gate. Wang Xin and Qu Meifeng went out of the gate, and then looked back, only to see the school's sign, Weiwei Art School.

"How did your school come up with such a strange name?" Wang Xin asked.

"What's the matter with you, you want to know everything? Aren't you afraid of ghosts, don't ask, be careful of two ghosts pestering you! ”

was scolded by Qu Meifeng, Wang Xin was not annoyed, followed to a café opposite, sat down, Wang Xin asked for tea, and drank it slowly. That's when he felt his soul fall to the ground.

"Tell me, what is the story between you and Mr. Mai?" Wang Xin asked.

"Do you really want to know?"

"Just curious. If you don't want to say it, I can't help it! Wang Xin wanted to know, but he didn't want to force Qu Meifeng to say it, after all, a person's past contains a lot of privacy that no one wants to know for a lifetime.

"Actually, it's nothing, everything is so normal when I think about it now, but I really can't understand it at the time. My sister may have told you that I was an orphan, and that it was my sister who sponsored me to go to school and later took me to the south. You know, my sister, she followed that person before she graduated, and she was the boss in your mouth. I was studying here at the time. ”

"Your parents are gone?"

"No, my parents died when I went to art school."

"How could he have died in the same year?"

"The accident said it was an accident in the mine."

"Is it a coal mine?"

"I don't know, it seems like yes and no. I haven't been. ”

"Don't you have a Shanghainese accent?" Wang Xin wanted to change the topic and didn't want Xiaofeng to be too sad.

"No, our family is from the Northeast. My dad came to Shanghai from the sea, and I grew up in Northeast China when I was a child, and I only came to Shanghai when I graduated from primary school. ”

"Then why did you recognize Sister Maisui?"

"It's really sad to say. I don't know what to tell you. My parents had an accident, and the furniture in my house was taken away, saying that they wanted to pay off the debt. I'm a girl with no home. You say how sad I am! One day I fainted next to the barbed wire fence next to the lake, and it was Sister Mai Sui who carried me to the small hospital of the school, and then transferred to the big hospital, where I stayed for a week, and Sister Mai Sui and I became good friends. She understood my situation and was very sympathetic, and she asked Mai's father for help, and it was her father who helped me fight the lawsuit, saying that the mine that my father used to live in the past should not be gone all at once. Later, I didn't know what the result would be, anyway, my food, clothing, housing and transportation were all in charge of Sister Maisui. She went south and sent me money every month until I graduated. ”

"You said you knew Sister Maisui's father?"

"That's right!"

"Then why don't you go and see his old man's house?"

"No, my sister has cut ties with her family, and I'm not allowed to contact them. What do you care about? It seems that when Mai Sui's father is mentioned, Qu Meifeng is not happy.

"It's nothing, it's just casually talking. Let's go, I don't know if they found a house? ”

"Just a phone call? Okay, I'll fight! Qu Meifeng is suddenly so active in work, Wang Xin can understand, she also wants to escape from the tragic memories of the past.

Wang Xin watched Qu Meifeng call, this girl is still quite energetic when she enters the working state, even the posture of the phone call is so elegant, it is worthy of learning dance. Qu Meifeng closed the line and said, "Let's go, let's go over and have a look, Manager Xing said that they are nearby, not too far!" ”

"Did you find it?"

"I didn't ask!"

Wang Xin shook his head, he was still praising you in his heart just now.

Taxi is only a starting price, and when I saw Manager Xing and the three of them, they said that they had found a place to stay, which was very good and affordable, and it was the cheapest in this area. Wang Xin wondered, the office is not decided, what is the use of finding a place to stay first, in case the office is in Pudong, wouldn't it be in vain? But seeing their hard work, Wang Xin didn't say anything.

"Mr. Wang, you also go to see, we just came out, I think this place is good, the location is good, one step away from the subway, and it is also very convenient from Hongqiao Airport, the important thing is that it is a large company here, world-class." Manager Xing described the situation here.

"Okay, let's go check it out!"

A few people walked into the building, two people came out of the front, Wang Xin hurriedly hid behind, and turned his back, and when the two people walked away, he turned around, and saw the back of the two people holding hands, Wang Xin had a feeling in his heart that he couldn't say. He was very annoyed in his heart, no wonder that scene happened on the edge of the art school lake just now, this is not an immediate retribution.

"Mr. Wang, why are you doing it, so slow!" Qu Meifeng turned around and called.

"It's coming, it's coming!" Wang Xin walked a few steps and ran up the steps to catch up.

Take the elevator up to the fifth floor, the door is still open, someone inside is looking at the room, Wang Xin came in and looked carefully for a long time, pondering the size and size, as well as the division of the office, etc., I think the environment here must be okay, but the office area here may cope with two years, if it is longer, it is difficult to predict.

Wang Xin called Manager Xing and asked about the rent, management fee, and payment conditions, and felt that it was okay, so he said, "I think this is a choice, but you can continue to look at it." I'm going to go back and deal with the mail, so I'm not going to accompany you. After speaking, Wang Xin suddenly remembered, and said, "Xiaofeng is very familiar here, let her be with you, it will be more efficient!" ”

Wang Xin went downstairs and came out first, he wanted to call Xia Yune quickly and report what he saw, "Hey, I'm Wang Xin!" ”

The phone was connected, Wang Xin first reported his name, this is his habit, and only after confirming the person who answered the phone can he start talking, which is a habit that can only be developed after getting along with Xia Yune.

"Baby, why do you remember to call me?" Mr. Xia was very happy when he received a call from Wang Xin.

"Where are you?" Wang Xin asked.

"Where's the airport!"

"Hongqiao or Pudong?" Wang Xin asked deliberately, thinking that it would be great if she was here!

"Neither. Are you in Shanghai? ”

"Hmm."

"I'm sorry to disappoint you this time, I'm at Harbin Airport, the plane is late, it's been a long time, I don't know if I can fly today!"

"It's normal, it's not normal if it's not too late! I'll tell you something, I just ran into the Stone Buddha and Sa

A-la! Wang Xin said mysteriously.

"Where, Shanghai?"

"yes, I didn't say it, I'm in Shanghai."

There was silence for several minutes before Xia Yune said, "Did you say hello?" ”

"No, I'm hiding, I don't want to talk to them!" Wang Xin said that they didn't want to be with Sa

aSpeak.

"Where did you come across it?"

"Wait, I'll take a look, it seems like it's a distance here, um, Hongqiao, not far from Hongqiao, I'll see, ah, there's a park nearby,"

"Zhongshan Park?"

"That's right, Zhongshan Road, to the west, a little bit, what kind of square is it called, what kind of building!"

"Hehui Mansion!"

"How do you know?"

"That's our headquarters. What are you doing there? This time it was Xia Yune's turn to be curious.

"Looking for an office, didn't you say that e-sports is coming, I have to do a good job of the Shanghai branch before they come, didn't I say that the cooperation agreement will be renewed next year!"

"Sure?"

"Not yet, it's not bad for me to go in and see it, but I want to see a few more places and finally decide!"

"It seems that I have learned to be well-behaved, like a general manager. Well, when are you going back? ”

"The plan was to arrive on a Monday night. I'll call you then! ”

"Earlier, there's a good thing!"
