After leaving the bookstore, I hesitated a little, should I go to Li Shusheng's company now?

Although it feels a bit weird and unreasonable to change from 500,000 to 5 million, it is estimated that it is a kind of gamble on your own future, and it is also quite exciting to bet on whether your prediction of the future is accurate.

Let's go, anyway, his company is not far away, so he walked.

In Li Shusheng's office, there was no one else, only Chen Yan sat at the desk by the door, the black tight-fitting professional suit reflected her beautiful face with light makeup, showing a different kind of sex appeal in a spacious and formulaic space.

It seemed that Chen Yan had been waiting for me there for a long time, and as soon as she saw me, she stood up and invited me to sit on the sofa.

She said that Li Shusheng had something to do in the morning, and asked her to wait for me here. With that, she handed me the IOU she had prepared in duplicate and asked me to sign.

I took a look, and Li Shusheng really wrote similar words on the IOU seriously: lend Zhou Xu 500,000 yuan, and return 5 million after ten years. He had signed his name under both IOUs.

I shook my head and smiled, signed both copies, and then kept one for myself and gave the other one to Chen Yan.

Chen Yan suddenly said, "Why are you making such a joke? You're crazy, isn't this a loan shark? ”

I said I was joking on myself.

Chen Yan thought for a while and said hesitantly: "Li Yun called me the day before yesterday and asked me how you are doing and how the bookstore is." ”

I was stunned for a moment and said I was fine.

"That's it?"

"Well, I'm fine, that's all."

Chen Yan sighed, her eyes turned white, and she whispered, "Ruthless and unjust." ”

"What?"

"Nothing."

Saying that, Chen Yan asked me to tell her the credit card number, and she went to the bank to transfer money in the afternoon.

When I came out of Li Shusheng's company, there was a bright sunshine outside, which made me dizzy for a while. The world still exists, and I am still alive.

I hailed a taxi and asked the driver to drive directly to the rental house on the stretch of Wen Yi Road. The road is still the same road, unrepaired, like driving into a rural area.

When the taxi reached the end of the potholed road, the driver said no. When I looked, there used to be an open space here, but now it is a street market. In just over half a year, more and more people from other places have changed the face of this land. The street market is invisibly created in this urban village, and the autumn sun shines on the heads of the bustling crowds, and the voices of people are everywhere, and as a group, they are doing their best to create a prosperous world.

I got out of the car and walked through the bustling bazaar to the once familiar rental building.

It's still the same place, the pond is still the same pond, the only difference is that the walls here are all painted with red paint and the word "demolition" is written all the way, including this small paradise-like small building where Li Yun and I lived.

I stood outside the courtyard for a moment, then walked along the courtyard wall towards the pond. Only then did I see that the edge of the pond had been fenced off, and the deserted field had been firmly covered by a tall fence.

I'm not sure if this is another unfinished building project, or if it's a good thing that Li Shusheng did?

The water in the pond is green, and the color is thicker than before, and the water is dying.

I stood on the edge of the pond and looked around, and the trees were still there, but there was no birdsong.

All you can hear is the sound of the street market, but beyond that, it's quiet.

After about five or six minutes of standing, I left. My head hurts, I don't understand what the hell is wrong with me, my eyes are getting moister. I vaguely heard Li Yun say in my ear: "Listen, there are birds chirping." ”

But I didn't hear anything.

I walked through the bazaar again to Wen Yi Road, and hailed a taxi to the Xinyu Hotel, the gloomy office of Xuyang Advertising Agency.

Time is abundant and free, and so am I, but I don't know where to go.

The office was deserted, only Zhao Xiaoxuan was lying at the table looking at the pictorial, and Chen Qili was not there.

Seeing me come in, Xiao Xuan just lazily opened his hand, which was regarded as a greeting.

I asked Xiao Xuan, "What about Qili?"

"I don't know, he said yesterday that there was something to do today, so he didn't come."

"Oh, what are you looking at?"

"Look at the Fashion Illustrated."

"The packaging is ready?"

"Well, I've already taken it to the printing house for proofing."

I sat silently at the table opposite Zhao Xiaoxuan, my mind was still very confused, I only felt dizzy, this taste was very uncomfortable, as if I hadn't slept for several days, and even felt a little nauseous in my throat.

Xiao Xuan suddenly raised her head and found that I was looking at her stupidly, and she subconsciously looked down at her chest. She was wearing a purple low-cut blouse with a thread over it, and for a moment she clearly suspected that I was looking at her bare breasts.

Then she noticed that my eyes were very blank, and judging from the direction of my vision, I was indeed looking at her chest, but from the perspective of my eyes, I was not seeing anything.

"Hey, Brother Xiaoxu! What are you looking at? ”

Zhao Xiaoxuan screamed urgently, but I still maintained that posture as if I couldn't hear anything.

"Mr. Zhou?" She screamed again.

I was so tired that I wanted to close my eyes and just sit on my chair and fall asleep without caring about anything.

But I couldn't, there were countless images flashing in my head, countless thoughts tossing back and forth.

Zhao Xiaoxuan shook his snow-white palm twice in front of my eyes, and then said, "Brother Xiaoxu, are you stupid?"

I came to my senses and said, "Xiao Xuan, did I do something wrong?"

"What did you do wrong?" Zhao Xiaoxuan stared at her big round eyes and shook his head.

"I don't understand what you're saying."

"I don't know what I'm talking about."

"By the way, I almost forgot, Zeng Yongshan came here in the morning and brought you some new products, oh, this is it." Xiao Xuan said and took out a small bottle from the cabinet drawer, which looked like the black general's black rice juice.

"This is a new product they developed, which is a mixed fruit milk, which is mixed with three kinds of fruit juice. I've already drunk a bottle before, and it's delicious. Xiao Xuan said as he continued to rummage through the drawers.

"I'll get you a straw, you can taste it."

"No need."

I waved my hands, staggered to my feet, and then looked puzzled, as if I couldn't believe that I couldn't control my body, and my mind felt like I was being run over by a train, and a sharp pain came from my brain, and in that moment, I didn't remember anything.

There was nothing but darkness before my eyes.
