The Pentium Era - South to North

Zhang Chen walked to Wanghu Tower and looked back. The little guy was standing across the road, looking at him, ready to cross the road at any time. Zhang Chen had no choice but to walk to Baochu Road. He felt useless in his heart. Damn it, I didn’t make a single business deal and yet I was chased by this little thing. It was really unlucky.

Zhang Chen walked to Baochu Road and was slightly surprised. He saw that the iron door of the air raid shelter was closed. The door was still in ruins and there was no one. It had been more than a week. Shouldn't this place have been cleaned up a long time ago? , why do you still look like this?

Zhang Chen couldn't help but be curious and walked towards the next alley. The whole alley was quiet, and he couldn't hear the sound of anyone working or moving nearby.

Zhang Chen walked to the entrance of the air-raid shelter and unexpectedly found that the door here was also closed. Zhang Chen walked over and knocked on the door. There was no movement at all inside the door. Not even the person watching the construction site was inside. If he was there, he would definitely be there. Keep the door open for ventilation, otherwise you will be suffocated inside.

Zhang Chen stood there thinking for a while, but couldn't think of a reason. When he reached the Baochu intersection, he couldn't help it anymore and decided to call Boss Liu's younger brother to ask what was going on.

Zhang Chen arrived at the small shop and dialed the switchboard of Wanghu Hotel. He was transferred to Boss Liu's room. The phone beeped for a long time before it was picked up. A crisp voice came from inside: "Hello, Wanghu Hotel.”

Zhang Chen was surprised. He thought the call had been transferred back to the switchboard. He quickly reported Boss Liu's room number again and said on the phone, please help me transfer it again.

"Is this where I am, sir?"

"who are you?"

"Hello, sir, I am the waiter doing rounds."

"Oh, please help me check if Boss Liu is here."

"Boss Liu? Boss Liu checked out yesterday, sir."

"Checked out, where did he go?"

"I'm back in Taiwan."

"Then are any of them still here?"

"No, both rooms have been vacated. Sir, is there anything else you need my help with?"

"that's all, thanks!"

Zhang Chen hung up the phone with a look of confusion on his face. Checked out? Back to Taiwan? Haven’t they all lived here for more than a year and now they are going back? Shouldn't this project be discontinued?

Zhang Chen found the envelope from his bag and dialed the number written by Zhong Yaqiong that day on the envelope. Zhong Yaqiong's voice came from the phone. Zhang Chen quickly said, "Xiao Zhong, I am Zhang Chen. Boss Liu is responsible for this project." Why did it stop? I just passed by here and saw no one here.

Zhong Yaqiong lowered her voice and said, "Something happened. Where are you now?"

"I'm at this pay phone across the street."

"Then come here and go to the top of Huaxing Lane. Do you know that place?"

"Are the houses on both sides covered with ivy?"

"Yes, that's right, that's right there. I'll go there and wait for you."

Zhang Chen hung up the phone and hurriedly walked back to a park, went to the Xiling Yinshe store opposite, picked up his bicycle, and headed to Huaxing Lane.

Zhang Chen arrived at the place he had agreed with Zhong Yaqiong. Zhong Yaqiong had already arrived. She parked her bicycle aside and was walking around in the alley. When she saw Zhang Chen arriving, she hurriedly greeted her.

"He didn't tell you about Boss Liu?" Zhong Yaqiong held Zhang Chen's bicycle faucet with one hand and asked.

Zhang Chen said: "I didn't see him at all. After you left that day, I called him to tell him that I was no longer in the company. It turned out that his assistant answered the phone and said that he thought he was here. After everything has been arranged, I will rush back to Taiwan to deal with things there."

"What else?" Zhong Yaqiong nodded and asked again.

"And just now, before I called you, I called his room number. The waiter told me that he had checked out and returned to Taiwan. Has he been here since? Or has he been in Taiwan and not come?" Zhang Chen asked.

"I came here. I came the day after you left."

"Ah, so anxious? He had just left at that time."

"Yes, he was in the boss's office, quarreling with him, scolding him, saying that we just treated him like a monkey and led him here and there again." Zhong Yaqiong said.

"He also had a quarrel with Manager Song?"

"Of course, the quarrel was very fierce. If everyone hadn't stopped us, the boss would have been beaten that day."

Zhang Chen thought of what Boss Liu had told him. He was a child from a military military village with a family background. He joined society at the age of fifteen. When he was extremely angry, it was normal for him to beat people.

"When did this happen?"

"On the second...third day after you left, the day after he flew from Taiwan, he went to the company and made a big fuss."

"What the hell is going on here?"

"You really don't know?"

"I really don't know. I'm not going to lie to you."

"Okay, I believe you." Zhong Yaqiong nodded, "Then let me tell you from the beginning?"

Zhang Chen said yes.

"When I came back that day..."

"When?"

"Oh, it was the day I went to Baochu Road to find you, the day you left. Do you understand, idiot?"

Zhang Chen smiled and said: "I know, I know, you continue."

"When I came back that day, the boss was not there. They told me that the boss was called by the old chicken feather..."

"Who is the old chicken feather?"

"Oh, little chicken feather's dad."

Zhang Chen understood. When he heard Zhong Yaqiong calling a dignified deputy director like this, he couldn't help but laugh. Zhong Yaqiong also laughed. She said, "Now everyone in the company calls him that, even the boss calls him that. Hey, you keep interrupting me, do you still want to listen?"

"If you want, I promise not to interrupt you."

"That day, Lao Ji Feo called the boss, scolded him, and forced him to talk to Boss Liu, saying that the contract signed later was invalid and that the original contract should be followed. The boss had no choice but to inform Liu. The boss's assistant, Boss Liu became anxious as soon as he heard his assistant's feedback. He flew over the next day and had a huge quarrel with the boss.

"The boss has no choice. Of course he can only listen to Lao Jifeo. Lao Jifeo is his leader. Boss Liu is not the real Emperor of the Han Dynasty. Even the Emperor of the Han Dynasty is useless. We don't follow the feudal system, right? ?The boss showed cruelty and told Boss Liu that if the original contract was not implemented, there was no other way and the bureau would invalidate the batch of documents.

"I didn't expect that Boss Liu was really scared. He said that if it is scrapped, it will be scrapped. Even if he doesn't do this project, he will not make it into a piece of shit according to our wishes. He went back and made a noise. After fighting one, they went back, kicked out all our people, locked the air-raid shelter, and then went to the court and filed a complaint against our company."

"Happy!" Zhang Chen couldn't help shouting.

Zhong Yaqiong rolled her eyes at him and continued: "The boss went to the court to inquire about it. The people in the court said that in this lawsuit, we can tell at a glance that we are not justified. The other party is a foreign businessman, a Taiwanese compatriot, and his identity is sensitive. This lawsuit is If we go on, we will definitely lose, we will be miserable, and we will have to pay to our death, that is a huge sum of money."

"You deserve it!" Zhang Chen cursed.

Zhong Yaqiong glared at him and cursed: "My bonus is all gone. I don't know whether I will be paid my salary or not. Now the company is like a pile of dead people. What do you say?"

Zhang Chen quickly said: "I'm not saying you deserve it."

Zhong Yaqiong rolled her eyes at him again: "I know, otherwise I wouldn't bother to care about you."

"Okay, I know you're the best, what's next?"

"What's next? It's unlucky. Everyone is unlucky. Boss Liu not only went to the court to sue us, but also went to the city government to file a lawsuit, to the news agency, to Beijing, Shanghai, and the province. , reporters have come several times, and the city government’s investigation team has also arrived at the company, not only investigating our company, but also Lao Ji Fei, it’s so unlucky!”

Zhang Chen felt extremely happy when he heard Zhong Yaqiong say this. He didn't expect that Boss Liu was really a kind guy. He repaid kindness with kindness and revenge with hatred. When he wanted to take revenge, he would not let anyone go.

I wonder if this is what he said about the character of the children in the military community?

After breaking up with Zhong Yaqiong, Zhang Chen rode his bicycle around the streets alone. His heart was complicated. Today, he felt both the desolation of being driven away and having his money cut off, and also felt a sense of joy. , This is really not about not reimbursing, the time has not yet come, but when the time comes, they will all be reimbursed. Now none of these guys can escape, it is really happy.

At the same time, he felt sorry for Boss Liu. He knew that Boss Liu had been swallowing his anger for the past year and was no longer prepared to endure it. He must have been unable to endure it and was heartbroken. There was no possibility of restarting this project.

Boss Liu put so much energy into such a good idea, and now it is all in vain. Zhang Chen really feels heartbroken for Boss Liu. Yes, just like Zhong Yaqiong said, you are the real Emperor of the Han Dynasty. When you get here, you are What can be done?
