Chapter 4 Lotteries
21:30
The people in the office have almost left, and Chen Xi is the only one left in the planning department, who is sitting at the workstation at the moment, outputting to the computer, and muttering some indescribable words from time to time.
This morning, when he took the new plan to report to the supervisor, the middle-aged bald man, who didn't even spend more than five minutes looking at his plan, criticized him again, and devalued him even with the human representative plan.
At that time, he almost couldn't hold back, so he was about to pick up the document on the table and throw it on the bald man's face, and then said loudly: "Your grandfather, I'm not going to do it, the bald stupid pig who doesn't understand anything, my grandfather won't serve anymore." ”
But when I thought of it, I was burdened with the expectations of the second elder of the family for him to start a family as soon as possible, and the little savings left in the bank card. Although he just won the lottery, the money was not enough to save him from his hot life, so in the end, he could only swallow his anger, keep apologizing, and promised that he would continue to stay and work overtime today and complete the modification as required.
Originally, I planned to take a leave of absence in the afternoon to go to the lottery center to claim the prize, but now I can only silently bury my head in overtime until late at night, constantly thinking that "when I receive the prize, I must go to have a good meal", "I can immediately move the stereo that I have been reluctant to buy home" to comfort myself.
When Chen Xi finished typing the last word on the keyboard, he let out a long sigh of relief and stretched hard against the seat.
"This bald dead fat pig, if he troubles me again this time, I will definitely throw the plan directly in his face."
Chen Xi muttered quietly, picked up the water cup and drank the remaining coffee in it, and then prepared to go to the bathroom to wash his face and go home from work.
He stood up and looked around, he was the only one left in the office, and even the lights in the other departments had been turned off, and now only the lights in the area above his head were still lonely.
He remembered that the security guards had come in to patrol not long ago, asked him how long he would have to leave, and told him to remember to turn off the power when he left, and then went on patrol on other floors.
Chen Xi picked up the water cup and walked to the bathroom. The bathroom is located on the other side of the floor, and you need to go through a corridor about 100 meters from the office, which is also the staircase access to the floor.
"Wow..."
In the bathroom, Chen Xi carefully cleaned the coffee stains in the water cup, and then picked up the water and washed his face. When his face came into contact with the cold tap water, he instantly felt a lot more refreshed.
He looked up and wiped the water off his face, and looked at himself in the mirror, his eyes were bloodshot, and his face was a little gray, looking somewhat haggard.
"This job really tortures me enough, it seems that it's time to think about finding a new way."
Just sighing, Chen Xi suddenly found that two of the four compartment doors behind him in the mirror were closed, and the red logo on the doorknob indicated that the door was locked from the inside, which generally meant that there were people inside.
"Huh? Aren't all the people gone? How can there still be people? Chen Xi walked over suspiciously and pushed it in turn, confirming that it was locked from the inside.
"Is there anyone else?" Chen Xi asked loudly, but no one responded.
"Lao Zhang? Xiaolinzi? There was still no response.
"Is it the cleaning lock?" Seeing that no one responded, Chen Xi didn't think much about it, thinking that it was the cleaning that was locked when he got off work and used it to put cleaning tools. He turned around and picked up a water bottle from the sink and prepared to go back to the office.
When he walked out of the bathroom, he found that all the lights in the hallway were out, and the whole hallway was pitch black, except for the faint light coming from the office in the distance. It was the only light on from his workstation.
"Cough, cough, cough."
Chen Xi stomped his feet and coughed lightly a few times, trying to see if he could re-turn the lights on the aisle, but there was no response, and it was still dark all around.
"Is this light broken? I'll have to call the property management to take a look tomorrow. ”
Chen Xi could only use the light from the bathroom behind him to walk briskly towards the office at the other end of the corridor. But he had barely taken two steps when he suddenly heard a loud flushing behind him, followed by a creaking of the door as it was opened, very loudly, not like one, but like two identical voices overlapping each other.
"Wasn't there anyone in there just now? Is it a women's restroom? ”
I don't know why, Chen Xi suddenly remembered the two closed compartment doors in the toilet just now, and couldn't help but turn his head to look.
But when he turned his head, the bathroom light went out without warning.
Suddenly, a trace of coolness came to his heart, Chen Xi felt a little scared inexplicably, the hairs on his body stood up, and his palms unconsciously sweated.
He quickly turned his head and took two deep breaths, calmed his pounding heart, and when his eyes adjusted to the darkness around him, he was ready to rush back to the office.
Just as he lifted one foot and was about to step forward, the light in the stairwell next to him suddenly turned on.
The light in the stairwell is voice-controlled, and it didn't turn on when Chen Xi made the noise just now, but it suddenly turned on now. At this moment, he felt that everything around him seemed to be a little weird.
He followed the light, and the door to the stairwell was open, just in time for his view to see the stairs upward. And at the corner of the staircase at the bottom, near the handrail, there is a boxy piece of paper.
The distance was not far, and there was a light shining on it, and Chen Xi recognized it as a lottery ticket at a glance. It's exactly the same one he picked up yesterday downstairs at the company.
Seeing the lottery ticket, Chen Xi ghost made a god walk over, bent down to pick it up, blew the dust on it, sure enough, it was a lottery ticket, and then look carefully at the date, it was also drawn on the same day.
"Another lottery? When did I get so lucky? ”
"Bang!"
Just when Chen Xi sighed that he was lucky, there was a sudden loud noise behind him, and he quickly looked back and found that the door of the stairwell was closed somehow.
