The Pentium Era - South to North

Zhang Chen spent this night in anxiety. As long as there was a slight movement outside the room, he would jump out of bed, wondering if Gu Shufang had come downstairs. Sometimes he also suspected that he heard Gu Shufang above his head. He walked back and forth in the room, and even stamped his feet once or twice. Zhang Chen didn't know if it was his hallucination or if it was real.

Gu Shufang's room was carpeted, so logically speaking, he couldn't hear her movements.

Zhang Chen was lying on the bed, staring at the ceiling above his head, thinking wildly.

At about two o'clock in the morning, Zhang Chen fell asleep in a daze, and was suddenly woken up. He heard a woman's cry, and Zhang Chen was suddenly awakened.

He thought he heard it in his dream. He sat on the bed and listened carefully, and found that someone was indeed crying. The cry was clearly that of Gu Shufang.

Zhang Chen thought to himself, it's over, it's over, Gu Shufang's endless crying, whether it's Xiao Lin or Caizhen, they will definitely hear it. If they hear it, Mr. Fu will know tomorrow.

After listening to the reports of the two nieces, Mr. Fu will definitely become suspicious as to why Gu Shufang gets so nervous at home that she cries in the middle of the night.

He will definitely understand it carefully. With this understanding, Mr. Fu may catch the clues about his relationship with Gu Shufang.

Zhang Chen got out of bed, tiptoed to the door, and quietly opened the door. Although he had been careful, the door still made a "click" sound, which startled him.

You must know that there are ears all around at this time. While listening to Gu Shufang's cry, they are also listening to everything else. If there is any sound, they will not let it go.

Zhang Chen stopped holding the door handle, not daring to continue. He just stood in a door crack seven or eight centimeters wide, listening to what was going on outside.

The moonlight poured in through the crack in the door, splitting him in half, just like his mood at the moment, hesitating, hesitating, half wanting to move forward, half wanting to retreat.

He wondered if he should go up and have a conversation with Gu Shufang to ease the relationship between them, or at least persuade her not to cry.

But what scares Zhang Chen is that he doesn't know if there are alert eyes along with the listening ears. If he is careful, even if he can escape their ears, can he avoid their eyes at the same time?

There was also the fatal question. He didn't know if he could come down if he went up, especially after Gu Shufang threatened him. When he went up now, it seemed to Gu Shufang that he had compromised, retreated, and was completely trapped. After being recruited, I unconditionally accepted Gu Shufang's request, which was to be good, obedient, don't leave, and stay to be her sweetheart.

Then what has become of me, Zhang Chen?

Gu Shufang continued to cry. Her cry was faint, sometimes it seemed far away, sometimes it was very close. Zhang Chen stood there, trembling constantly. He felt that Gu Shufang might cry if she cried. Go downstairs.

He was too afraid that Gu Shufang would come to his door in tears. If that happened, whatever he did would be wrong, and no matter how he explained to Mr. Fu, it would be useless.

Or, no one wants to listen to your explanation at all. Everyone knows this kind of thing well and can see the essence through the phenomenon. Do you still need to use your excuses?

When thinking about this, Zhang Chen felt that before the worst result came, he might still go upstairs and kill or cut her, it was up to her, as long as you stopped crying.

Zhang Chen opened the door and stood in a rectangular piece of white light outlined by the moonlight. He was about to step out when a man's roar suddenly sounded, which startled him.

The crying stopped, and then turned into a roar, directed at the angry man. Only then did Zhang Chen realize clearly that the crying woman was not Gu Shufang, but a couple or lovers quarreling next door. .

Zhang Chen stood there, stunned for a moment, and then laughed out loud. He shook his head, returned to the room, closed the door, leaned behind the door, and continued to laugh wildly. Only then did he feel the pain on his back. It was sticky, and the clothes on his body were already soaked with cold sweat.

Zhang Chen returned to the bed, fell down, and fell asleep soon.

When he got up the next day, Zhang Chen opened the door and looked upstairs. He didn't see Gu Shufang. Zhang Chen breathed a sigh of relief. He quickly walked to the bathroom, washed up hastily, then carried his bag and held his thighs with his hands. , quickly ran away downstairs.

When he got downstairs, Zhang Chen realized that he looked so much like Xiao Lin. Zhang Chen felt shuddered and quickly slowed down.

The whole morning, Zhang Chen sat in the office, worried and suspicious. He would look outside the door from time to time, worried that Gu Shufang would appear in his sight at any time. Still the same, holding a handkerchief in one hand, he kept saying Wiping the sweat from her face, Xiao Lin followed beside her, holding an umbrella for her with a sullen expression.

She would walk up to Zhang Chen and ask Zhang Chen to take her upstairs to see the imported stones. She must be bringing a calculator and a warehouse receipt, ready to check the quantity at any time.

Look at you, there is not even an inch of imported stone on the construction site. What should I show you?

Xiao Wu came in, and Zhang Chen asked him if he had seen Lin Zhao?

"I just saw him. He's upstairs. Do you want me to call him for you?" Xiao Wu asked.

"No, no, no, I'll go up by myself later." Zhang Chen said casually, secretly relieved. It was such a bright sun. If no one held an umbrella for her, Gu Shufang probably wouldn't go out, right?

"Did you ask those people to go yesterday?" Xiao Wu asked Zhang Chen.

Zhang Chen deliberately pretended to be stupid and said, "Who is he?"

"Follow me and Yilin, the people from our construction site."

"Fuck, did you find out?"

Xiao Wu looked at him and shook his head helplessly: "If I couldn't discover this, I wouldn't even know that someone had done it. Yesterday, I saw that Yi Lin was with me, so I asked them to follow me. If anything happened, They can take care of Yilin.”

"Then today will be the same as usual."

"Don't even think about it," Xiao Wu scolded, "They can send Yi Lin home. I'm going alone. I just want to see how much those idiots weigh."

Xiao Wu said and walked out the door.

Zhang Chen stared at the phone on the table, worried that the phone would ring at any time. Boss Lin's voice came from the phone. He thought, if Gu Shufang ran to Boss Lin as she said last night, Boss Lin would definitely I will call myself.

Fortunately, the phone rang several times throughout the morning, but not once was it from Boss Lin. Zhang Chen was startled, and later on, he began to hate himself.

He was thinking about whether he should go upstairs and report to Mr. Fu that Gu Shufang already knew about the 250,000 yuan. After weighing it again and again, he gave up. He wanted to run up and tell Mr. Fu that Mr. Fu would definitely ask , where did Gu Shufang talk about this? She couldn't tell him that it was on the third floor where even he couldn't get up.

What if it says it's the office, the first floor, or somewhere else, and it's not consistent with what Gu Shufang said? Zhang Chen believed that Gu Shufang would definitely tell Mr. Fu about this. Thinking of this, Zhang Chen couldn't help but laugh.

Yes, what are you afraid of? The most Gu Shufang could do was talk to Mr. Fu about this matter.

I didn't take a penny, and I didn't give Mr. Fu away. I didn't say anything, not even to death. What could Gu Shufang do to me? The most she could do was tell Mr. Fu what the money was and where it went. Did Mr. Fu not know it himself? At that time, he will discuss it with himself and make an agreement then.

If he really squandered the money, then he would be worried. If so, he would have no choice but to obey Gu Shufang's mercy.

Zhang Chen felt calm when he thought of this. He even hoped that Gu Shufang would show up here, or that Boss Lin would call him. He wanted to see how this couple would clean up this mess.

But to Zhang Chen's surprise, everything was quiet. Mr. Fu didn't come to discuss it with him. Gu Shufang seemed to have dropped a shoe just like the story about upstairs and downstairs. Zhang Chen was waiting for her to drop her shoe. When it came to the second one, the second one still didn’t fall.

They returned to their previous days, as if that night had never happened.

This aroused Zhang Chen's curiosity. He wondered what was the reason that prevented Gu Shufang's second shoe from falling off?

Zhang Chen thought for a long time, and finally thought that Gu Shufang must have cared about her relationship and didn't want to ruin her, so she never mentioned this matter to Mr. Fu at all.

Gu Shufang is still kind.

Thinking that Gu Shufang was kind but that he had hurt her again and again, Zhang Chen felt a little achy in his heart.

At this point, the only thing to blame is that Gu Shufang was too anxious and used the trick that hurt Zhang Chen's self-esteem the most.

Zhang Chen didn't know whether it was good or bad for their ambiguous relationship to come to an end like this.
