The Pentium Era - South to North

When he was about to get off work, the second-rate guy came. When he saw Zhang Chen, he yelled, "Oh, instructor, you're forced to raise me. This time I went to Sanya, I didn't see your girlfriend who was pulling pigweed together."

Zhang Chen asked clearly, "Why?"

"Old Tan, he kept me on the construction site and didn't take me to meet Party A's people." Erhuo said regretfully, "I heard they are at the Jinling Resort nearby."

"We didn't have dinner together either?"

"No, I had dinner with Lao Tan's comrades. I met the real commander, my father's old chief. The old man even cried when he saw me."

Zhang Chen knew that Mr. Tan did not let Er Guo go to see Party A's people because he was afraid that he would talk nonsense and take him to meet his comrades. These comrades were his own people and the old friends of Er Guo's father. They all wanted to see him. He, his seemingly useless father, was quite popular when he was in the army.

The second-rate guy is like his father. Apart from having a bad mouth, he is really good in other aspects, especially as a friend.

Xiao Wu and Liu Ligan came, and the second-rate guy shouted, "Haha, everyone is here. Let's go to Huajiang Dog Meat today. I'll call people again, and we'll drink Huajiu."

Liu Ligan said yes, Zhang Chen quickly said, I can't go, I have dinner arrangements, Xiao Wu also said he won't go.

"No, no, you are our golden sign now. Do you know how many girls in Haicheng are waiting to ride you, a little boy? They are forced to raise you, and the red envelopes they give out are getting bigger and bigger."

Erguo shouted exaggeratedly, but Xiao Wu still refused. Erguo and Liu Ligan were not willing to let him go, so they pulled him away, one on each side.

Zhang Chen looked at the time and saw that it was not yet seven o'clock. People in Haicheng usually had dinner after seven o'clock. Zhang Chen didn't want to go back too early and make Gu Shufang think that she was eagerly waiting for this meal.

Zhang Chen went up to the roof and walked around. The interior decoration had begun here, and workers were burying pipelines. Zhang Chen saw Xiao Lin. Xiao Lin had been working overtime these past few nights, staring at his workers.

Zhang Chen remembered and asked Xiao Lin, what did you say this morning?

Xiao Lin himself had forgotten it, but Zhang Chen reminded him that it was at the bathroom door after Mr. Fu came downstairs.

Xiao Lin grinned. He looked at the workers digging wire troughs not far away and said something to Zhang Chen.

"Say it again." Zhang Chen shouted.

Xiao Lin turned his head to the other side and looked at the other two workers digging the wire trough. There was no partition here yet, and the huge space looked empty. Except for the numerous pillars, there was no end in sight.

Xiao Lin muttered again, slowed down his speaking speed, and after speaking, he didn't care whether Zhang Chen heard it clearly or not, he just walked away.

Zhang Chen heard clearly, what Xiao Lin said was, here it comes again, making us late again.

What's coming again? Did the two of them often confront each other like this before? Zhang Chen wanted to ask Xiao Lin, but Xiao Lin disappeared behind some pillars.

Zhang Chen shook his head, smiled, and went downstairs.

Zhang Chen wanted to take a look at the temporary lobby in front. The work there had been completed. Zhang Chen wanted to see the effect after the marble floor was laid this afternoon.

Zhang Chen passed through the first floor of the mall and before he reached the hotel lobby, he saw a familiar figure passing by from the connection between the hotel lobby and the mall.

Zhang Chen quickly quickened his pace and walked to the hotel lobby. He saw the familiar figure standing in front of the elevator, waiting for the elevator. Zhang Chen saw her profile clearly. Yes, it was indeed Xiao Zhao.

The security guard, doorman, bellman and waiter in the lobby all knew Zhang Chen. It was inconvenient for Zhang Chen to shout here, especially to a girl. He could only hurry up and walk over, but Xiao Zhao had already entered the elevator. Zhang Chen hurried away After a few steps, it was still too late. Xiao Zhao's elevator was already going up. Zhang Chen quickly pressed the button, and the elevator door next to him opened.

Zhang Chen was not in a hurry to get into the elevator, but watched Xiao Zhao's elevator stop. He saw clearly that it was stopping at Wanghai Restaurant, and then Zhang Chen entered the elevator.

Zhang Chen got out of the elevator and walked to the door of the restaurant. He saw Xiao Zhao walking through the hall and heading towards the box at the back.

The two greeters at the entrance of the hall knew Zhang Chen and said to him, "Mr. Zhang, the box Mr. Fu wants is No. 1."

They thought Zhang Chen was also one of the guests Mr. Fu invited today, so they told him the box number. They used "want" instead of "book". A simple change of one word showed the host's qualifications. Zhang Chen quickly said, Okay, I know, I'll go there myself.

Zhang Chen walked through the hall and walked to the back corridor. He saw Xiao Zhao turning around and ducking into the box. Zhang Chen couldn't follow him anymore. Mr. Fu didn't call Zhang Chen today. He didn't call you and you showed up. If you are hit by him in his box or near the box, there will be many bad associations.

Zhang Chen asked the waiter standing in the corridor softly, has Mr. Fu arrived?

The waiter said no.

Zhang Chen quickly said, I will come back later.

He turned around and walked out. The greeters at the door looked a little strange when they saw him coming out. Zhang Chen told them that they had something to do with me below. When Zhang Chen walked to the elevator, there was already a greeter who hurriedly took a few steps to help him press the button. After getting in the elevator, Zhang Chen went downstairs in frustration, but his heart was full of mixed emotions.

Zhang Chen remembered that Xiao Zhao told him that when she arrived in Haicheng, she rarely went out. In the past, Mr. Fu only had social events and needed to bring people to the show, and the ones he brought were only Xiao Ning, not Xiao Zhao.

The men in Haicheng are very gangsters. They all like to drink flower wine, and no one takes it seriously. Just like Mr. Fu doesn't shy away from organizing such a drinking party in his own hotel.

When everyone is keen on drinking flower wine, a person who doesn't like drinking flower wine will look out of place, making people feel that it is difficult to deal with, or that he is being serious.

The people who go to such a banquet are all men, and the men will bring their women. None of these women are their wives or girlfriends. It seems that Mr. Fu has organized such a banquet again today. They are all his personal friends, but why would he take Xiao Zhao instead of Xiao Ning?

Zhang Chen knew that Xiao Ning used to accompany Mr. Fu to these banquets where he took turns being the host and ate almost all over Haicheng.

When he arrived at the lobby below and exited the gate, Zhang Chen felt gloomy. He looked at the time and saw that it was already past seven o'clock, so he did not go to the temporary lobby, but turned right and walked towards the east direction of civilization.

As soon as it gets dark, there are more and more people on Haixiu Road. On the sidewalk, there are people from Taizhou, Zhejiang Province who shine shoes. They are more than ten meters apart. When there is no business, they sit on each other's seats and talk with each other in that way. They shouted and chatted in Taizhou dialect.

Their voices have to pass through the countless pretty girls standing in the middle before they reach each other, and the other party's voice also has to pass through these countless girls before they come back. If the voices were colored, then these girls would have been there long ago. They dyed it black and gray.

No matter how bright and bright the colors are, when many of them are mixed together, they will become either black or gray.

These girls stood shoulder to shoulder, but they were all independent individuals. There was no communication, no intimate physical or eye contact with each other. Everyone stood very reserved. They were close to each other, but they did not know each other. , even if they knew each other, when they stood here, they naturally turned into strangers. Now, they are opponents of each other.

Who knows if the man who comes over next to inquire about the price is yours or mine?

Zhang Chen walked through this colorful scene, but felt extremely depressed and lonely in his heart. Xiao Zhao's figure swayed in his mind, but what swayed was her back as she walked into the elevator and walked into the box from the corridor. He No matter how hard she hurried, she couldn't catch up. She didn't know that Zhang Chen was walking towards her. She just knew that he didn't know if she would stop and wait for him.

Zhang Chen felt abandoned.

Zhang Chen returned to Wenmingdong. The door below was ajar. Zhang Chen pushed the door open and went in. It was dark inside. Zhang Chen didn't need to turn on the light. He walked in and closed the door again behind him.

Now when Caizhen and the others were busy, Xiao Lin was working overtime at the construction site again. The first and second floors were also dark. Zhang Chen walked to the patio, and there was a bright light above, making everything in the patio appear.

Zhang Chen didn't need to look up to know that this was the light from the third floor. Zhang Chen felt a little comforted. At least, in this city, there were still people waiting for him to eat.

Zhang Chen walked to his door. It was already late. He originally wanted to go upstairs directly. After thinking about it, he opened the door and entered his room. He took a towel and took a quick shower first.

Zhang Chen arrived upstairs. The lights in Gu Shufang's restaurant were on with warm colors. Gu Shufang was sitting at the dining table, still holding the book "The Story of the Sahara" in her hand and reading. On the table, there were two exquisite A small casserole, and three plates, each with a plate attached to prevent the dishes from getting cold.

Gu Shufang smiled when she saw Zhang Chen coming in. Neither of them spoke. Zhang Chen sat down opposite her. The chair was a rattan armchair with cushions and cushions on it. It felt very comfortable to sit on.

After Zhang Chen sat down, he looked at Gu Shufang. Gu Shufang asked, "Why, is the construction site very busy today? I'm afraid the dishes will get cold."

Gu Shufang's voice was very soft and light. When Zhang Chen listened, he suddenly felt like crying.
