Chapter 15: 65°C, resignation
June 17, 2039.
Purgatory on Earth!
Zhou Ping had another nightmare.
It's still that dream.
The day temperature is 80 °C, and the night also reaches a terrifying 58 degrees Celsius, a global purgatory, a melting pot on earth.
Death, plague, storm, sweeping across the globe.
Power outages, water cuts, agricultural crises, economic collapse, and the whole society is plunged into a wail of despair.
Why did he have such a dream again, was it too hot recently?
Speaking of which, it seems that the temperature has risen again recently.
It was too hot and he couldn't sleep anyway, Zhou Ping simply got up, only a pair of pants on his body, but there was a thin sweat on his body, and he walked to the air conditioner.
The air conditioner at the construction site rotates 24 hours a day, and it will be adjusted at the lowest 16 degrees, and it is the maximum wind speed, but the temporary shed at the construction site has strong thermal conductivity, and the sunshine is strong, so the air conditioner is not turned on, especially today, the wind blowing out of the air conditioner is hot!
He looked at the thermometer on the wall, and it was 40 degrees, and it was 40 degrees in the air-conditioned room, no, he could sleep at 40 degrees.
Zhou Ping himself felt extremely surprised.
Quickly checked the weather forecast, but it is very strange that the software shows that the temperature has not increased recently, and although the next few days have been in a sunny and cloudless and rainless state, the temperature has been kept in the range of 50~58 degrees Celsius, and there is no warning of warming.
That's weird.
A few days ago, at this point, the same air conditioning temperature, the maximum temperature in the construction site room was about 32 degrees Celsius, and it was not so hot.
And the construction site air conditioning has just been changed some time ago, in this matter the company has no sloppy reason, heat death of a person to pay more, in the hot weather, no one dares to fool people in the matter of air conditioning.
With suspicion, Zhou Ping changed his clothes, and he was going to look at the thermometer in the hallway.
However, as soon as he opened the door, Zhou Ping paid a serious price for his hasty decision.
The air was as hot as a giant hot air fan blowing him for three minutes, and he must have been kicked in the head by a donkey if he chose to leave the air-conditioned room in such weather, but he made his way to the end of the hallway, where a professional thermometer hung up.
61 degrees Celsius!
Zhou Ping's eyes suddenly widened when he saw the red line of life.
Indoors, 61 degrees Celsius?!
What's the time now?
He quickly picked up his phone and looked at it.
In the evening, 6:58 a.m.!
If it were 12 o'clock at noon, such a temperature would be excusable, but it was afternoon and the sun was about to set!
A chill crawled from his hands all over his body, and Zhou Ping once again strongly realized that even if all the things he was afraid of were from dreams, if he didn't do something immediately, how could he guarantee that those dreams wouldn't come true?
It's 61 degrees Celsius indoors, which means that the maximum temperature may reach 65 degrees Celsius or even higher at noon today, and the weather forecast tells them that the maximum temperature is only 58 degrees Celsius.
Nonsense.
It may have reached 70 or even 80 degrees Celsius long ago.
According to the information he consulted during this time, the Yellow River and Yangtze River basins have lost a lot of water, many areas have shown signs of drought, and coastal cities have been subjected to heavy rains for a long time, extremely heavy rains, and glaciers at the poles have melted, and the world has been plunged into strange extreme weather.
He had given himself a buffer period of a few months, but now it seemed that there was no time.
However, Zhou Ping does not belong to the kind of person who acts impulsively as soon as his mind is hot, and the day after making this judgment, he adjusted the alarm clock at twelve o'clock at noon.
He then looked at all the thermometers on the site, and the results were as expected.
65 degrees Celsius!
As for the outside, he didn't have the courage to go out at all, the scorching sun was scorching, just opening the window was a challenge, how could Zhou Ping go out.
7:20 p.m.
Zhou Ping walked into Liu He's office.
Liu He was explaining things to Feng Yueyi, and when he saw Zhou Ping coming in, he was wondering.
I heard Zhou Ping say, "I want to resign." ”
?
Liu He was stunned, "You are sick." ”
After reacting, his eyes suddenly widened, and he had a dumbfounded expression, "Is there something wrong with you, why don't you do it?" You're telling me not to do it at this juncture? ”
Feng Yueyi was even more shocked, after all, she knew Zhou Ping's character very well, Zhou Ping was a very responsible person, even if she resigned, it would be impossible to be at this kind of level, no matter how she would follow the end of the project.
"Brother Zhou, have you encountered something? If you have something to talk about, let's discuss it together, and you will make everyone worry about it. ”
Liu He also reacted, "Yes, yes, did you have an accident at home?" Lao Zhou, let's discuss what we have to say, we are all old friends who have known each other for so many years, and when it's time to lend a hand, we will definitely lend a hand. ”
Zhou Ping shook his head, "Not really, but I have to resign." I'll leave in a week at most, Mr. Liu, you can find someone to replace me. ”
This is the most graceful time that Zhou Ping can set aside, and he is afraid that the time will be more urgent and too late.
"I'm special. Where the hell am I going to find someone! Lao Zhou, you can't do this to me! ”
Liu He was anxious, "Is it a bit hard to work recently, indeed, I know that the weather is very hot and the construction period is also very tight, so how about I give you two days off?" ”
"Or if you want to increase your salary, I will definitely help you apply at the end of this month, I don't guarantee how much it will be raised, but it will definitely be more than before, what do you think?"
"Old Zhou, don't mess with me."
"You misunderstood Mr. Liu, I didn't want to negotiate conditions with you, I really have to resign, this is a resignation letter."
After submitting the notice of resignation, Zhou Ping left the office.
Liu He's angry scolding was immediately heard behind him, and it was hard to listen to when this person scolded, and Zhou Ping didn't pay attention to it, but the people on the construction site immediately knew that Zhou Ping was going to resign.
As soon as he came out into the big shed outside, the people of the mechanical team, including the senior workers working in the shield machine, also surrounded him.
There is still something to talk about the sudden resignation of a small management, and in the midst of the gossip, Zhou Ping did not explain so much, and soon it was time to go to work, and Zhou Ping still worked as seriously as usual.
During the break, Duan Ang found a separate opportunity to talk to Zhou Ping, he didn't ask Zhou Ping why he resigned, but said: "What do you plan to do after you leave your job?" ”
"I don't know."
To be honest, Zhou Ping is also very confused, if he wants to find a short-term job near his home, after his understanding, he found that it is very difficult to find.
With an unstable job, an unstable income, and the high cost of raising two children, he still has to prepare some items for disaster relief, what should he do in the next life?
But he didn't act impulsively, but at this moment, there was no better way than to leave.
