District 9

Late at night, Lin Chengdong stood in front of his house. After letting out a breath of stale breath, he opened the door with the key and walked into the room.

At this moment, the child has fallen asleep, and his wife is sitting on the sofa with her hair disheveled, chasing the drama on the online broadcast station. Lin Chengdong took off his shoes, raised his head and asked, "Are you not asleep yet?"

"I can't sleep, let's watch a drama." The daughter-in-law ate fruit and stared at the projection screen intently and asked, "Have you gone to dad's place?"

"Yeah." Lin Chengdong nodded.

"How was the discussion?" the wife asked.

Lin Chengdong gasped, put on his slippers and walked to the sofa to sit down. After hesitating for a long time, he opened his mouth and asked: "Can we not let the child go to the EU area first, and then let him stay with us for a few years?"

"In a few years, the children will be older and will learn things more slowly." The daughter-in-law said in a calm tone while biting the fruit: "The language environment must be cultivated from an early age. My classmate's children were not sent to EU II until they were fifteen years old. Now when I speak, I am laughed at by other children every day because I am not up to standard..."

"I don't quite understand, why do you have to send your child to the EU area, why do you have to let him settle there?" Lin Chengdong asked very puzzled.

The daughter-in-law looked at the screen with a calm expression and replied: "Why, why don't everyone around me do this?!"

One sentence left Lin Chengdong so speechless that he didn't know how to refute.

"My dad said, if you feel the burden is a bit heavy, then they will pay for the expenses in the past few years." The daughter-in-law threw away the fruit core: "Anyway, they have been helping us for more than a day or two, so there is nothing wrong with it. Very kind."

"well."

Lin Chengdong stood up, pointed to the bathroom and said, "I'm going to take a shower."

"Okay, please give me a message!"

"Let me think about it." Lin Chengdong walked towards the bathroom: "I'll give you a letter in a day or two."

"Oh." The wife nodded: "The underwear is in the small cabinet, and the pajamas are hung in the big cabinet. Wipe the floor after washing, otherwise it will be very damp."

"Yeah." Lin Chengdong opened the bathroom and walked in.

"Do you want to eat noodles? I'll make you a bowl?" the daughter-in-law shouted.

"No."

"Then I'm going to sleep."

"good."

After the couple finished their ordinary conversation, they became quiet again. After living as a couple for many years, they have no reason to quarrel. They have become accustomed to using the most straightforward and concise dialogue to solve problems.

If communication is ineffective, what awaits both parties is a long period of silence until one party makes a compromise.

There are no ups and downs between the husband and wife, the passion for life is exhausted, and the career ambition has gradually disappeared after being hit to the head countless times. Nowadays, all Lin Chengdong has is numbness and an optimistic mentality that there is nothing he can do if he is not optimistic.

After Lin Chengdong took a shower, he stood in front of the toilet and pondered for a long time before he excreted a stream of yellow urine.

In the past two years, he had to wait until he had to pee while sitting in the office... Youth is gone, and the future cannot be seen. The man is about to reach thirty with one foot, but what he sees is himself at sixty.

After sitting in the bathroom and smoking a cigarette, Lin Chengdong changed into his pajamas, took a book and went to the side room to rest, without even thinking about handing over a salary.

…

In a downtown nightclub.

Qin Yu called Gu Yan and walked to the outdoor balcony to smoke.

"Hey, I heard that the three major districts are going to take action recently?" Qin Yu asked with a smile.

Gu Yan was stunned: "What kind of move are you going to elect me to be the supreme leader of the Asian League?"

"Don't talk nonsense, you understand." Qin Yu blinked at Gu Yan.

"What the hell are you talking about?" Gu Yan squinted and scolded, "Don't try to talk to me, just tell me something!"

"I heard that there is a project to be done in the area to be planned, right?" Qin Yu asked.

Gu Yan was startled for a moment: "Did your little girlfriend tell you?"

"Yes." Qin Yu nodded.

"I was just about to tell you about this." Gu Yan pretended to sell Qin Yu a favor: "The higher-ups are indeed talking about the railway, and the relevant documents have been issued."

"Do you think you can do it?" Qin Yu asked.

"I've definitely done it, but whether you can do it or not, I can't say." Gu Yan raised five fingers and said, "The capital verification is 50 million, can you come up with it?"

"Let's join together as brothers!" Qin Yu said with great interest: "You, Xiaolin, and Zhan Nan are all wealthy people with money in their pockets. If we join together, it shouldn't be a big problem."

Gu Yan blinked his eyes and sighed, "Oh, I thought so too, but now people are not united and it's hard to lead the team."

"You're riding a horse and talking like a human being!"

"...Last time, Zhan Nan, Xiao Linzheng, and I ended up losing some money!" Gu Yan said in a low voice, "So what I mean is that if you tell them, they are probably more reliable than me. .”

"I say it's okay." Qin Yu thought about it for a while, then looked at Gu Yan and asked, "You can just pay for it then."

"As for the money... I think the three of you can just put it together." Gu Yan took a puff of cigarette and said, "I can give you advice, be a strategist or something like that. After all, I have more experience in setting up a company. Some."

"You will be a military counselor!" Qin Yu was stunned for a moment, then scolded without hesitation: "Two or three companies have asked you to cheat, how can you be so embarrassed to say this?"

"No, I think..."

"Whether you do it or not, you pay for it!"

"...!" Gu Yan hesitated: "You should talk to them first. If things go well, we will study it later."

"also."

"But I don't think Zhan Nan is very interested in this matter. He has several businesses outside now and his money is a bit tight." Gu Yan reminded.

"Well, let me ask first." Qin Yu nodded.

…

The next day, early in the morning.

After Lin Chengdong got up and was about to go to the college for class, the phone in his pocket rang.

"Hello?"

"...You come to me." A voice sounded.

Lin Chengdong listened to the voice on the phone, looked up at his wife, walked to the side room, closed the door, and said seriously: "I've told you a thousand times, don't call me again."

"I...I've been drinking all night and I feel so uncomfortable. I beg you, please come to me, okay?!"

"What are you going to do?" Lin Chengdong asked in a low growl.

"Let's meet and talk, okay?" The other party's tone was a little numb: "I don't want to stay in Nanhu anymore, I want to leave."

"...!" Lin Chengdong thought for a long time with a complex expression on his face, then nodded and said, "Give me the address."

"Okay, I'll send it to you."

After saying that, the two ended the call.

…

Inside the Police Academy.

Qin Yu was sitting in class and asked Zhu Yulin, "Why didn't Chengdong come today?"

"Please ask for leave. You said you have something to do today and you won't be able to come." Zhu Yulin intervened and replied.

"Haha, what has he been busy with recently? The dragon never sees its end." Qin Yu replied slightly strangely.
