Urban Night Returner

Jinyu Building is the landmark building of Xiao's real estate in Binhai.From the design to the construction, Xiao Shiqi, the head of the family, was in charge of the design, Xiao Qingfan, the youngest son of the Xiao family, was in charge of the design, in order to make every effort to break into the Binhai market, so the quality is high, and even after nearly ten years, it is still the same. A beautiful and majestic building.The first to third floors are business hotels, the fourth to twelfth floors are used as office buildings, some of which are rented out, and the topmost floor is the office of the head of the Xiao family.

It was already 8:[-] in the evening, and Xia Tian was whistling for the last inspection.He is from the vicinity of Binhai. He came to Binhai after graduating from a technical school and worked as a maintenance worker for the elevator team in Jinyu Building.The wages of ordinary maintenance workers are not high, but Xiao's provides simple dormitories, which is very attractive in Binhai where housing prices are rising day by day, so Xia Tian has been working here for two years.

There are still people coming and going in the exhibition square opposite.In the past few days, the military museum wants to hold a brief introduction to world military history and a cold weapon exhibition for young people here. Many antique knives, guns, arrows and halberds have been brought in. Although they are imitations, they are also quite valuable. For three or four days, the layout has not been fully completed yet.

Xia Tian has no intention of caring about others.This exhibition also requires payment, even though it is close at hand, he will not go.He was tired all day and just wanted to go back to the dormitory to sleep.The elevator stopped at the basement level with a ding, and Xia Tian let out a sigh of relief. After checking the buffer device at the bottom of the elevator shaft, he could leave work.In addition to the rolling elevator in the hotel, Jinyu Building has a total of four box-type passenger elevators, plus one freight elevator, which should be said, not too many.The four passenger elevators are placed in four directions: east, south, west, and north. This is not very common in Binhai, a city where most people only talk about left and right without talking about things.Xia Tian took the No. 1 elevator in Zhengdong. After checking this section, he turned right to No. 2 elevator in Zhengnan, then No. 3 elevator in Zhengxi, and finally No. 4 elevator in Zhengbei, every day.

Today is still the same, the first two parts are fine, Xia Tian walked happily to the No. 3 elevator, and suddenly saw a piece of cement turned up at the bottom of the tunnel, revealing a little white thing.Xia Tian's first reaction was that something fell from the bottom of the elevator and cracked the concrete floor. He walked over to see that there was indeed a nut on the ground, but even if the nut fell off, it wouldn't crack the concrete floor, would it?He knelt down to take a photo with his flashlight, and the white spot looked like a flat stone with some patterns on it.The cement floor has already been raised, and Xia Tian dug out the carved stone without much effort.The stone is about the size of a cigarette case, with a pure white background, but there are some reddish-brown marks on it, as if the color has been soaked in.Xia Tian wiped it with his sleeve, the dirt was wiped off, but the marks could not be wiped off.He squinted his eyes, and it looked like a tiger was carved on the stone.

How could there be such a thing under the cement?Xia Tian suspiciously used the flashlight to take a closer look, and felt that the stone felt particularly round in his hand, unlike ordinary stones that feel cold to the touch.He thought for a while, and suddenly thought, could this thing be a piece of jade?

There is also a small jewelry counter in the business hotel of the Jinyu Building. Of course, it mainly sells pearls, but there are also others.Xia Tian would also go shopping when he was free, of course he wasn't buying it, he didn't even dare to look at the price, it was just an addiction to his eyes.He still understands that gold and other things are based on weight, but he can't figure out the pricing of the emerald jade counter.Such a small pendant sells for tens of thousands of yuan, just one stone, so why is it so valuable?He heard the ladies at the counter say: Gold has a price and jade is priceless. He didn't understand this. He only knew that jade was very valuable.A girl with whom he has a good relationship told him that jade has different colors, and white jade is very valuable.Although there are some reddish-brown marks on the piece in his hand, most of it is white. It is whiter than the piece that the girl pointed out to him last time, and it is much bigger. If this is really a piece of jade... then Not just post it?However, if this is really a piece of jade, why is it buried under the elevator tunnel?Maybe it's not jade?

Xia Tian thought over and over in his stomach, but put the stone into his pocket with his hand.In any case, this thing has no owner, so it's nothing if he picked it up, and when he shows it to others, if it's really jade, then he won't have to work hard for the rest of his life.

Putting the cement blocks back to the original place and stepping on them flat, Xia Tian slipped away clutching his pockets. Amid the excitement, he didn't hear the muffled sound coming from the other three elevators, like some wild animal screaming, but the sound was muffled by the dirt. live, very unclear...

"What's the matter?" Shen Gu looked at Lu Wei.He said he needed to trouble him, but he didn't say anything for a long time.

Lu Wei's expression was very embarrassed, and it took him a long time to say: "Brother Shen, did you know Mr. Zhang at the wedding that day?"

"It's a classmate."

"I heard that Mr. Zhang invited many people, mainly to find a boyfriend for his sister?"

"Yes." Shen Gu had already guessed what Lu Wei was going to say next.

"Then—brother Shen, can you introduce me?"

"Do you want to know Zhang Lin?"

"Well." Lu Wei lowered her head, "I know Brother Shen, you must think that I am doing it for money. Indeed, if we had money, Luo Wei wouldn't have to be so tired that she would have a heart attack on the street. But I wasn't all doing it for money. Ms. Zhang is really nice. That day the wedding manager was the cousin of the bride, who made us behave like animals, and would not let you idle for a minute. We didn't eat at noon, but Ms. Zhang saw it and called KFC. The takeaway is here. I think she is very nice, she said a few words, she is not as arrogant as some nouveau riche..."

Shen Gu fell silent.Indeed, Zhang Lin seems to be that kind of very innocent girl. Even if she has a bad marketing method, she can't erase the value of the girl herself. The question is, how will he introduce it to Lu Wei.Although Zhang Chen said that as long as people are good, since Zhang Lin brought such a generous dowry, it is a question of whether Zhang Chen can take it seriously in Lu Wei's poor and poor situation.If she is rejected outright, where will Lu Wei save her face?

"Do you want to introduce it to Lu Wei?" Zhong Lecen closed the clinic and came back to buy vegetables, and heard Shen Gu talking about it, "Does Lu Wei really like that girl?"

"It shouldn't be just for money. In fact, that girl Zhang Lin should be pretty good. The question is how to introduce her?"

"It's good if the girl is nice. Isn't Lu Wei the one from the wedding company who planned the wedding for them? He still has some wedding videos and photos in his hand, so he just said to give something. You go with him, I miss you That classmate will definitely understand that if he disagrees, everyone will not lose face."

Shen Gu glanced at him: "Good idea!"

"Of course." Zhong Lecen raised his chin, "I don't want to see who did it!"

Shen Gu laughed.Zhong Lecen's mood has gradually come out of the depression for a while, and sometimes he would sing while cooking.Shen Gu likes to see him like this very much, well, although Su Wan is a bastard, the disappearance this time is indeed a good thing.

Now that he agreed to Lu Wei, Shen Gu didn't want to procrastinate, so he took Lu Wei to Zhang's house on the next rest day.The Zhang family used to live in a small house on Henan Road, but now they have moved to Hong Kong Road.Zhong Lecen's method was really good. When Zhang Chen saw that Lu Wei was brought by Shen Gu, he immediately showed understanding and let them in.

The house is a duplex with an attic. It is very large and decorated very gorgeously, but Shen Gu felt uncomfortable when he entered the house.This room is too clean, as clean as Zhang Chen and his wife.All the furniture, including the carpet, are light-colored, and you can tell if there is a little dust, but everywhere is clean and shiny, which made him and Lu Wei stunned at the door, wondering whether to go in or not.

Zhang Chen hurriedly brought two pairs of shoe covers: "I'm sorry, Xiaojie just likes to be clean too much, why don't you wear these?"

There was a sound on the stairs, and Zhang Chen turned around and shouted: "Linlin? My brother's classmate is here, remember? I played basketball with my brother in high school. Come call Brother Shen."

Zhang Lin came down from the stairs and called softly, "Brother Shen."

Shen Gu smiled at her, and Lu Wei took the initiative to introduce himself: "Miss Zhang, I'm Rose's wedding. There were a few photos of you at the wedding that day. I forgot to give them to Mr. Zhang. This time, I specially sent the negatives here."

"Oh—" Zhang Lin obviously had an impression, "You are the cameraman's assistant."

"Yes." Lu Wei offered the photo with both hands, "Thanks to Miss Zhang, otherwise we would all starve to death."

Zhang Lin smiled embarrassedly: "It's nothing. Did you take this photo?"

Of course, it was taken by Lu Wei, and it was a close-up of Zhang Lin that he specially captured, especially the one of snatching the bride's bouquet. really interesting."

Zhang Chen glanced at Shen Gu knowingly, and gave a thumbs up quietly: "Linlin, Brother Shen and Brother Shen went to the balcony to smoke a cigarette, take your time to look at the photos, if they are good, Brother will enlarge a few for you and hang them up. "

Shen Gu followed him to the balcony, and as soon as he closed the balcony door, Zhang Chen couldn't wait to say: "Brother, thank you, I think Linlin and this little Lu can still get along very well. I like photography, I think it's suitable."

Shen Gu shook his head helplessly: "Zhang Chen, why do I think you are overly anxious? Let me declare first that Lu Wei is a nice person, otherwise I would not bring him here, but his family conditions are not good, his parents died long ago, and only one My aunt raised him, and I used to make magazines with some classmates, but I stopped doing it after something happened, and now I am in a wedding company, the conditions are like this, do you think it is suitable?"

Zhang Chen nodded straightly: "I don't care about family conditions, and Linlin doesn't care, why should I prepare a dowry for her? As long as Linlin likes, is a good person, and treats Linlin well, that's fine. I can trust the person you introduced, If Linlin likes it, I have nothing to say."

Shen Gu shook his head: "I still think you are too anxious."

Zhang Chen rubbed his hands, hehe smiled: "You don't understand. An elder brother is like a father, this is the same as marrying a daughter."

Shen Gu thinks this analogy is inappropriate, he has never seen a father try his best to push his daughter out, although this is a family matter, but Lu Wei was brought by him after all, it is better to say: "You still have more Think about it, if Linlin really feels better. She is only in her early twenties, what are you in a hurry for?"

Zhang Chen chuckled, nodded repeatedly, and handed him a cigarette.Shen Gu usually doesn't smoke, but he still takes it.The moment he stretched out his hand, out of the corner of his eye, he saw a reflection on the glass window of the balcony, golden, like a little snake.Shen Gu turned his head abruptly, only Zhang Lin and Lu Wei were talking in the living room, and there was nothing unusual.

"What's the matter?" Zhang Chen was about to light a cigarette for him, when Shen Gu suddenly turned his head and was startled, "What's there?"

"I seem to see something flash past."

Zhang Chen's face changed slightly, and he laughed twice: "What is it?"

"I didn't see it clearly, it looked like a golden light."

Zhang Chen lowered his head to light a cigarette, and pressed the lighter several times before igniting it: "Did you get dazzled? Or it's the reflection from the car below."

"Maybe."

Zhang Chen raised his head and smiled, and Shen Gu felt that his smile was a bit forced: "It must be dazzled, the car running back and forth downstairs, the reflection is so strong, sometimes the eyes are dazzled, this is probably the legendary light pollution. Haha... "

Returning to Kangjia Garden from Zhang Chen's house, Shen Gu saw a car parked at the gate before entering the community garden. He had seen the license plate number before, it belonged to Zhou Wen.Sure enough, he opened the door with the key, and saw Zhou Wen sitting in the living room talking to Zhong Lecen, and stood up as soon as he saw him: "Mr. Shen—"

Shen Gu took off his coat and threw it on the sofa: "What's the matter with Lawyer Zhou?"

Seeing him, Zhou Wen felt a little nervous and cleared his throat: "Did Mr. Shen read the documents sent over a few days ago?"

"seen it already."

"When will Mr. Shen be free to go through the transfer procedures?"

"It's no use."

"Uh—" Zhou Wen reluctantly maintained a smile, "This is Mr. Xiao——"

Shen Gu frowned: "Lawyer Zhou knows where my grandmother is now?"

Zhou Wen's smile could hardly be maintained: "Yes, in the nursing home."

Shen Gu's eyes were bent, but he said coldly, "Lawyer Zhou knew why she was in the nursing home, right?"

Zhou Wen was speechless.Why?Get mad at him!These days the documents were delivered like mud cows into the ocean, he knew it would be difficult to handle, but Xiao Shiqi insisted on recognizing this grandson, even if he couldn't think about it.He knows the inside story of the Xiao family. Xiao Shiqi himself is very courageous, but he is not good at teaching his son.The eldest son, Xiao Yifan, is romantic and mediocre, not a good person; the second son, Xiao Zhengfan, has some business talents, but he is as romantic as his elder brother, and has a strong function. There are a bunch of illegitimate children and illegitimate daughters, and the child support alone is a huge expense; Xiao Pingping is a daughter, actually the most business-minded, but in the eyes of the conservative Xiao Shiqi, a daughter doesn't count at all; the fourth Xiao Mofan is a sick child who suffers from asthma every year and can't use it at all; the fifth Xiao Qingfan is a A smart man, but his talent is architectural design. Although it is just useful for the Xiao family's business, it is not the material for the family.The problem of the third generation is first of all that there are too few orthodox births, needless to say Xiao Yifan, most of Xiao Zhengfan's are illegitimate children, Xiao Mofan has only one daughter, Xiao Qingfan is celibate, and Xiao Shiqi can't do anything about him; Well, these young masters and ladies of the third generation are too playful to be material.In contrast, although Shen Gu is also an illegitimate child and has not been in business, Zhou Wen feels that he is much stronger than the current third generation of orthodox Xiao family, at least he can show up.Besides, Xiao Yifan has nothing to do but him, and now he has no official wife. As long as Shen Gu changes his surname, he can be said to be born to his ex-wife. Speaking out, who cares if it is true or not?It is estimated that Xiao Shiqi also took a fancy to this point, so he must be recognized.But Xiao Shiqi doesn't have to face this person himself...

"Why, Lawyer Zhou forgot?" Shen Gu sneered, "Does Lawyer Zhou think that since you are a lawyer, I dare not touch you?"

Zhou Wen didn't think so.Yes, he is a lawyer, if someone dares to touch his finger, he can sue that person for bankruptcy, but standing in front of Shen Gu, he dare not say that.

"Mr. Shen, you see, I'm also serving people's jobs and being ordered around. I'm sorry about Ms. Shen, but I really don't want to hurt her..."

Shen Gu interrupted him with a wave of his hand: "My meaning is very clear. Please don't appear in front of me from now on, lawyer Zhou. I'm a rough man, and I can only solve problems with my fists. To put it bluntly, lawyer Zhou If you come again, I will beat you once. Now, please."

Zhou Wen didn't dare to say another word, he knew that Shen Gu could do what he said, and he was still the person Xiao Shiqi was desperately trying to win over, so beating him up would be in vain.He didn't want to suffer from this short-term loss, so he picked up his bag and slipped away, just before going out, he just said: "I have left the property transfer document. If Mr. Shen changes his mind someday, please call me."

Shen Gu closed the door with a bang, picked up the documents on the coffee table and threw them directly into the trash can.Zhong Lecen had been standing in the kitchen listening, only then came out and asked in a low voice, "Should I not let him in?"

Shen Gu let out a breath, and glanced at him: "It's okay. But if you see him in the future, just pretend you don't know him."

Zhong Lecen looked at him apologetically.Shen Gu hated his expression the most, and stretched out his hands to rub his hair: "What are you doing? Did I say something? It's nothing to you, what are you doing with this expression?"

Zhong Lecen lowered his head and sighed heavily: "OK, let me tell you what's going on, and you'll know why I bother this person..."

This matter is actually not very complicated. Zhong Lecen was cooking, and Shen Gu told the 30-year nonsense, and he felt relieved: "It's just such a nonsense! The Xiao family doesn't know what kind of nerves they have committed now." , I suddenly remembered that I came again, and this is not over. Zhou Wen is doing things for others, but it is also true that he drove my grandmother into a nursing home, so I will ignore him when I see him in the future. I guess the Xiao family will not see it for a while Desperate."

Zhong Lecen said worriedly: "Will they publicize this matter?"

Shen Gu raised his eyebrows: "Propaganda? Whatever you want. So what? Actually, I don't understand what the Xiao family means? Dividing the property for multiple people?"

"Maybe they feel sorry for you?"

Shen Gu sneered: "If you think that way, it's not the Xiao family. Do you know how the Xiao family started? It was during the Cultural Revolution. It was chaotic and everywhere was broken. Xiao Shiqi took this opportunity to get a lot of antiques. What, if he can even dig someone's ancestral grave, will he feel sorry for anyone? Come on, don't mention such disturbing things, let's eat."
