Beat Generation

The first thing Zhuang Mei did after waking up from the darkness was to call Wen Xi's name.

However, no one answered her.

She reached out and touched the bed. It was an unfamiliar round bed. There was a faint scent of sandalwood in the room. She touched the switch along the edge of the bed.

The light was turned on with a "snap", and the bedroom in front of me was also completely unfamiliar.

"Wen Xi... are you there?"

This is a small apartment with one bedroom, one living room, one bathroom and one kitchen. When you open the curtains, you can see the overpass and the foggy river in the distance.Zhuang Mei turned around, returned to the bedroom, and saw a note written on the dresser.

[At the end of this month, two-thirds of the bodyguards will be on vacation, no one will stare at you anymore, and you can come and go anywhere freely. 】

Zhuang Mei looked back and forth several times and confirmed that it was Wen Xi's handwriting. She opened her mouth slightly in a little panic.

Just this line of big characters is already like a rare gift from the empress, let alone the next line of small characters.

[Report to the library in this city in three days, and from now on, you will no longer be an employee of our company. 】

library.

At the edge of the four safety zones, across two streets, you will arrive at the government affairs area.

Standing by the window, Zhuang Mei looked at the slightly desolate city in the middle of the night. It was like a jungle, full of dangers, hunters, and traps... Zhuang Mei smiled. She opened the window and smelled the breath of the steel jungle. For the first time in five years, she felt that a real opportunity had come.

------------------

During the three days when she was going to the library to report, Zhuang Mei left the small apartment every morning and went for a jog in the garden downstairs.

The new locator requires a simple test, and she needs to make sure that when her heart is beating wildly, will she feel any pain?There was a time when my arm was in severe pain once my heart beat too fast. However, the test results were quite satisfactory.

Three days passed.

In the early morning of the fourth day, Zhuang Mei got up early, tidied up, took the entry materials and took the bus for two stops, and came to the library in the city.

It is a kind of happiness not to be watched by a large number of bodyguards, but Zhuang Mei feels that it is a kind of happiness not to work beside Wen Xi.

"Ms. Zhuang, hello."

"Hello."

It was a very young girl who registered her. Zhuang Mei sat quietly, watching her enter her personal information, make a badge on the spot, and send it to her directly.

"Miss Zhuang, you are now the archivist of the library, and your station is on the third floor."

"it is good."

There is no sunshine at all on the third floor, Zhuang Mei thought so disgustingly, but as the glass elevator descended slowly, she found that the three basement floors were lush with plants and the atmosphere was not as bad as imagined.

Get off the elevator.

The little girl smiled and said: "It's easier for you to work below than us above. There are not so many rules. Just organize the files. The only thing to pay attention to is that the curator is also here. If you encounter it, Remember to say hello."

The little girl pointed to the portrait hanging on the wall, Zhuang Mei took a straight look, what curator, isn't this Wen Xi?

"Oh, I was wrong, this is our honorary curator. This is our curator."

Taking a closer look, it was an old man with a white beard, um, he looked like a curator.

"You here. How can there be an honorary curator?"

"Mr. Wen bought the library in the first half of this year, and I heard that it will be expanded next year."

Even state-owned units such as public libraries can be purchased at will. It seems that, as the newspaper said, the Wen family is now the wealthiest family in the entire south, and this city is almost entirely owned by the Wen family.

"Miss Zhuang, this is your workstation."

The little girl pointed to the location, and Zhuang Mei took a closer look. It was not bad, she had a separate cubicle, and her colleagues had already started working, and few of them looked at her as a newcomer.

"Thank you. Excuse me... Is there a canteen here? You just gave me a meal card."

"Yes, on the second floor."

When she was sitting in the cubicle, she realized that the glass ceiling above her head was slowly streaming down with sunlight.

One layer after another of insulating glass is spaced like this, winding all the way down from the top of the building.

Beauty is beauty, but just like this, Zhuang Mei feels like a frog squatting in the courtyard now, especially after wearing this dark green uniform.

"Is it Zhuang Mei, Miss Zhuang?"

"Yes."

"I'm your boss, but I'm very busy and I don't have time to take care of you. I heard that you used to work in the Wen family's company, so you are still working in the Wen family's library. You just need to do things well. , today you go around by yourself, familiarize yourself with the working environment, carefully read the job description in your hand, and start work tomorrow. Do you have any questions?"

"no problem."

"Fine. Goodbye. Don't come to me if you have anything to do. I'm busy."

"it is good."

Zhuang Mei shrugged and watched her slightly "runaway" boss leave.

And just when Zhuang Mei started to walk around and greet colleagues in the department, Wen Xi swipe the pen on the touch screen, testing the three underground floors with a blank expression, whether it will affect the accuracy of the locator, the test results Thankfully--

On the screen, as long as she taps the jumping red dot, she will immediately have a comprehensive analysis of the exact position.

After getting acquainted with the office environment and her new colleagues, Zhuang Mei walked to Wen Xi's hanging painting and looked at it for a long time. She still felt that Wen Xi in this painting was a bit old-fashioned, and she should look like Wen Xi after 30 years old. Close the door to your own cubicle—the day is quickly over.

The closing time of the library was very early. When she left the library at five o'clock, Zhuang Mei stood in front of the bus stop and observed her colleagues.

In the end, it was discovered that three of my colleagues lived in the administrative area, and one of them happened to be a pregnant woman who needed someone to take care of her.

Before returning to the apartment, Zhuang Mei bought a newspaper at a small newsstand. She looked around carefully, and finally she was sure that there were only three or four bodyguards in the whole street—unprecedented lax security.

Just as he was about to go upstairs with a newspaper, a bodyguard came over.

"Miss Zhuang, you are not allowed to read newspapers recently."

"..."

"Miss Zhuang, please give me the newspaper. Thank you."

Zhuang Mei had no choice but to give the newspaper that she didn't read at a glance to the bodyguard.

"My new apartment, can't I connect to the Internet?"

"Yes. Miss Zhuang."

Zhuang Mei pursed her lips, and she looked at the bodyguard curiously, "Is your mobile phone able to access the Internet? Can I use your mobile phone to order a takeaway?"

"I'll help you order."

"My mobile phone is also banned from the Internet now, isn't it?"

"Yes. Miss Zhuang."

"You know that for half of the five years, you can't use your mobile phone to surf the Internet, and you can't watch a little news online when you get home. How does it feel?"

"Miss Zhuang. I'll order you takeaway, please go home."

Zhuang Mei stopped talking, go home, go home?

It took only 10 minutes to get back to the apartment, and the takeaway was delivered to the door. Looking at the delicious food, Zhuang Mei felt that the takeaway had just been brought from Wen's kitchen.

After a long time, even the bodyguards knew her taste, and ordered these dishes to her liking.

After eating, Zhuang Mei went into the bathroom and turned on the shower to the maximum.

The sound of rushing water covered everything, sitting on the edge of the bathtub, Zhuang Mei began to think.

The gun couldn't pass the security check and was left in Mokley.

The only map was lost in Xinzhuangzi.

She had burned that letter from Bo Hui before boarding the plane.

There is only 1 plastic fruit knife in the whole apartment.

Wen Xi also never allowed real knives to appear in her kitchen.

She needs a knife and a gun... The letter clearly states that all weapons are stored in the building of the head office.

She wanted to go back to the head office, but she didn't have any reason to go back.

The next day.

Zhuang Mei, who was on the job on the first day, sorted out nearly [-] returned books in just one morning, sorted them into different categories, and summed them up like a veteran. She just pushed stacks of books and sent them to where they should go. place to stay.

"Thank you so much. I'm pregnant, and it's not easy to climb up and down."

"It's okay....Are you going to give birth soon?"

"Yeah, after this week, I will give birth almost next week."

It took a day for Zhuang Mei to establish a good relationship with the pregnant colleague. Before leaving get off work, the colleagues suggested a dinner to welcome the newcomer Zhuang Mei. Naturally, Zhuang Mei readily agreed, and her runaway boss also expressed her willingness to attend.

"The places I usually go to are boring, can I change to a new place? There are pregnant women who are about to give birth here, don't choose late-night food stalls, she can't eat seafood."

The boss who ran away made a speech, and everyone began to think about it.

"Hey, Zhuang Mei, do you have a place to eat?"

Zhuang Mei frowned, "Go to [Lanxi Residence], I have a card there."

[Lanxi Residence] is the place where their colleagues used to go to get together, just downstairs from the company.

"Hey, newcomer, do you think you are too rich? A pot of cauliflower in that place probably costs three figures."

"It's not as expensive as in the legend. And I have a card, so I can get a [-]% discount."

"Yeah! I've never eaten at a restaurant that costs [-] yuan per person. It's great. Let's go!"

"Yes, yes."

------------

When Wu Ershan received the call, Wen Xi was still on the way down the mountain.

"I'm still on the mountain."

"It's almost eight o'clock now, what are you doing on the mountain?"

"Choose clothes for Bo Mei."

Wu Ershan on the other end paused, "Why do you have to build a tomb? With her cemetery, it's as if she's really dead."

"Leader Zhan specifically asked me to do so. I have to give an explanation anyway. Mr. Feng Shui accompanied me to see a few pieces, and I can see it, or you can watch it with me tomorrow."

"Then do you go home directly after you go down the mountain? I don't want to find a cemetery for her."

"Of course not. I have to go back to the company."

"Then I'll go to your company to find you."

"Hey……"

The other end hung up the phone simply. Wen Xi knew why Wu Ershan, who was already playing crazy in this city, came to the company to find her. When she opened the newspaper, there were "scandals" about her attendance at various events. She didn't stay for a few days. Make the city full of wind and rain.

Wen Xi was a little helpless, and when he went down the mountain and returned to the company, he would see Wu Ershan's pitiful look of begging for good.

After looking at the cemetery all afternoon, Wen Xi felt a little tired, so she leaned back and closed her eyes for a nap. Therefore, she didn't notice that Zhuang Mei's position had shifted, and she was slowly approaching the company all the way At the same time, Wu Ershan, who was wearing a mask, was also driving towards the company in a sports car at high speed.
