Fu Yue didn't recognize the bed, and slept soundly when he first arrived, and woke up the next day before the alarm clock rang.

He stretched himself, washed up, made a shrimp sandwich, put on his suit and went out.

This time it was really a coincidence. When Fu Yue went out, he saw Xu Zheng's back swaying into the elevator door. He only hesitated for two seconds between catching up with the elevator and waiting for the next elevator. He locked the door and strode forward. Step up.

The elevator door was half closed, Fu Yue gently blocked it with his hand, and the elevator door opened again. He entered the elevator, looked at Xu Zheng who was dressed in the same suit as himself, and said, "Good morning."

Xu Zheng was not surprised at all, and said, "Good morning."

Fu Yue looked at the time. It was 15 minutes after eight o'clock. What is Xu Zheng's occupation at this time and in this attire?He has no intention of seeking other people's privacy, but he can't help but want to know more, more about Xu Zheng.

There were a few people he didn't know in the elevator, and it was inconvenient for him to talk to Xu Zheng, so he had to watch the elevator reach the first floor, and Xu Zheng walked out.

Fu Yue arrived at the basement garage on the second floor and drove to the central business district of City H.

As soon as Jiang Kaicheng arrived, Fu Yue followed. The two chose this place as the first location because it was easy to rule out.

The central office buildings in the first-tier cities, if you think about it with your toes, you know that the land price is extremely expensive. Although the two have earned a lot of money from the design in the past few years, they can't afford it.

The salesman was full of enthusiasm, boasting about the office building here, and the first-class service level. Fu Yue was embarrassed to waste his time, so he whispered to Jiang Kaicheng while the salesman was walking in front: "Brother, let's go to the next place to see .”

The details of the land price, space, environment, etc. here are almost known, and Jiang Kaicheng also feels that there is no need to stay any longer, so he nodded and said a few words to the salesman.

Disappointment flashed in the eyes of the salesman, but he still maintained a good service attitude and sent them out of the office building with a smile.

Fu Yue breathed a sigh of relief when he stepped out the door, and said, "I hate this kind of windows shopping, and I always have to do it."

Jiang Kaicheng shook his head with a smile, and said, "Xiao Fu, you are too considerate of others. In fact, in this kind of matter, there is not much difference between one more person buying and one less person buying. They may see 99 people a day. It’s okay for you to be the hundredth one, so don’t take it too seriously.”

"When I was discussing the design list with others, I talked on and off for half a month. I said that it was hard work, but I was hung up all the time. In the end, I was deleted directly. I couldn't talk about it. It was very uncomfortable." Fu Yue took out the car keys, opened the car door, and smiled: "Maybe it's because I'm relatively free, so my mind is a lot of mess, and I made my brother laugh."

Jiang Kaicheng sat in the co-pilot, lit a cigarette, and extinguished it after two puffs. In the light smoke, he said, "Who in our line of work has never experienced such a time, Xiao Fu, you are still too naive. .”

Fu Yue didn't say anything, and drove to the next location. This time, he looked at an office building that was far or near from the city center.

Jiang Kaicheng said suddenly: "I'm old, I really envy you simple people, how happy, Xiao Fu, can I play some music?"

Jiang Kaicheng is 35 years old this year, five years older than Fu. He has achieved success in his career, has a happy marriage, and has sensible children. This is a time when he is most successful, but his words reveal the sadness of approaching the twilight years of his life.

"Of course." Fu Yue asked, "What do you want to hear, brother?"

Jiang Kaicheng looked out of the car window and said, "Anything is fine, it would be better to have some joy."

Fu Yue immediately played a song about Zhu Bajie carrying his wife. He hesitated for a while and said, "Brother, you are not old. If you are old, I will not be young anymore."

Jiang Kaicheng laughed and said, "Isn't there a very popular test on the Internet before, called Test your mental age, I played it a bit, do you know how old it says I am mentally old?"

Fu Yue cautiously asked, "Forty?"

Jiang Kaicheng shook his head.

Fu Yue: "45?"

Jiang Kaicheng: "Guess with confidence, guess boldly, guess upwards."

Fu Yue went all out: "Sixty?"

Jiang Kaicheng nodded.

"Is it really sixty?" Fu Yue was honked by the car behind him, so he hurried to follow the green light.

Jiang Kaicheng said: "Drive well, don't make a fuss, senior brother is just so mature."

While the two were talking, they had already arrived at the next location, Minxing Building.

The surrounding environment is good, the greening plan is well done, it is far away from the road, there are not many people, it is quiet and peaceful.Before seeing the interior of the office building, Fu Yue added a lot of points to Minxing Building in his heart.

After explaining their intentions, the person in charge soon took them to see the apartment layout.

The person in charge acted as if he was doing business, and introduced each apartment type to them in a fluent manner. He made it clear that he had the attitude of "if you are willing to rent, then I will be more enthusiastic. I feel more comfortable.

Jiang Kaicheng asked: "What do you think of this room?"

The size is right, facing south, floor-to-ceiling windows, good lighting, the only drawback is that the space is irregular, one side of the wall is protruding, and the other side is concave, but this is not a shortcoming for architects at all, Fu The more satisfied he was, he said, "Very good."

After negotiating the final price with the person in charge, neither of them was procrastinating, so I asked Jiang Wei and Yang Ju in the group, and they lived not far from here, so Fu Yue signed the contract directly.

Due to the irregular space, the price they rented for this room was lower than other office rooms in Minxing Building.

Jiang Kaicheng said: "Xiao Fu, I will leave the design of our design studio to you, and I will handle the registration."

Fu Yue said, "Okay."

After finding the location of the office, Fu Yue seemed to see the appearance of Xiangzhu Office 1.0.

Optimistic people are always like this, they will see a bunch of flowers when they take a step.

After parting with Jiang Kaicheng, Fu Yue went to the bank to do some business.When he came out, Sunlight had already left work. His friend Cai Zhengyan called to ask him where he was. Fu Yue told him where he was.

Cai Zhengyan is the same age as Fu Yue, and they lived in the same alley and grew up together, they are brothers of iron fight.

"Hey, Boss Fu, you look pretty good in this outfit. People are in high spirits on happy occasions. It might be even better to invite me to dinner." Cai Zhengyan smiled.

Fu Yue pulled out his chair and sat down: "Some people look well-dressed, but they are actually learning how to be rich."

Before Cai Zhengyan could speak, Fu Yue said, "Of course, there is still money to treat my brother to a bowl of noodles."

"Then I'm not welcome." Cai Zhengyan flipped through the menu and said to the waiter, "I want a large bowl of beef noodles, a large bowl of noodles with fried sauce, a plate of fried peanuts, and two cold dishes."

When eating with Cai Zhengyan, Fu Yue didn't have to order food by himself at all, and each other's habits and preferences for each other were already rotten in their hearts.

Cai Zhengyan asked: "How is the office doing?"

"Very good, I rented an office today called Xiangzhu Office." Fu Yue replied.

Cai Zhengyan showed his white teeth: "When your firm is registered, I will take an order for you."

"What?"

"I have a classmate from high school. His family wants to change the decoration style recently, so I recommend you." Cai Zhengyan smiled smugly.

When the Zhajiang noodles came, Fu Yue poured him a glass of lemonade: "Thanks, brother."

Cai Zhengyan said, "Small meaning."

Chatting while eating, the two sat for two hours.

Finally, Cai Zhengyan said: "In the future, you will also be in H City, remember to pay more attention to my brother."

Back at Wangjiajingyuan, Fu Yue wanted to get the key to open the door, but he couldn't find it after searching in the bag for a long time.

There were two "dong dong", and the door next door opened quickly.

Xu Zheng was wearing pajamas and slippers, with half-wet and half-dry hair, squinting slightly: "Fu Yue, what's wrong?"

Fu Yue scratched his head: "Xu Zheng, I forgot to bring the key. At this time, the property manager is off work. Can I borrow your balcony? I'll go back."

Xu Zheng said firmly: "No, it's too dangerous to turn over the sixteenth floor."

Fu Yue was aggrieved: "It's dangerous for me to sleep on the street."

Xu Zheng was inexplicably funny, and turned sideways: "I will lend you a night in the guest room."

Fu Yue seemed to have heard the words "Don't be an example" at the same time. When he walked in, he felt like he had entered a black and white world.

Black sofa and white coffee table, black and white checked tablecloth, black TV cabinet, white bookshelf, even the wall clock and hanging pictures are black and white, without any extra decoration.

Fu Yue took a few glances and then withdrew his probing gaze.

Xu Zheng rummaged through the shoe cabinet, and finally threw him a new pair of slippers. Fu Yue put them on and found that the size was just right.

Then Xu Zheng gave him a new set of pajamas and a new bathrobe, and asked, "Did you not take a shower?"

Fu Yue hugged the pajamas and bathrobe, shaking his head.

Xu Zheng asked again: "Did you eat?"

Fu Yue was caught in a strange blunder, and was obsessed with ghosts, so he actually answered: "Not at all."

Xu Zheng had no doubts, glanced at him, and said: "There is something to eat in the refrigerator, you can cook what you want, the guest room is that one, and the bedding inside is new. Do whatever else you want, I'll go to bed first if there's nothing else to do." gone."

"Wait." Fu Yue picked up his phone and asked, "Can you add a WeChat friend?... New slippers, new bathrobes, etc., just pretend that I bought them, and I will transfer the money to you."

Xu Zheng opened the WeChat QR code and asked him to scan it.

Fu Yue sent the verification message over and said, "Thank you, sweet dream."

"It's okay, go to bed early." Xu Zheng closed the door, and he passed the friend verification.

Fu Yue glanced at his watch subconsciously. At 10:30, it was the same as yesterday, and Xu Zheng's work and rest habits were really regular.

He quickly took a shower. The shower gel, shampoo, and conditioner in the bathroom were all of the same brand. Fu Yue suddenly thought of the word "specialized". He smelled the shower gel and laughed silently.

After washing, Fu Yue dared to sit on the sofa, opened WeChat, and clicked on Xu Zheng's detailed page.

Avatar, black and white... giant panda.

Nickname, Zheng.

sign, no...

The circle of friends, visible for three days, is empty...

The background picture of the circle of friends, a group photo of the participants of the Fifth Solvay Conference in 1927, including Einstein, Lorenz, Marie Curie and other human elites.

It's really fun.

Said that he didn't eat, for the truth and credibility of the lie, Fu Yue went to the kitchen even though he was not hungry.

Opening the refrigerator, it was full of green vegetables, healthy meat, and a variety of fruits. He took a thin noodle and two scallions, and made a very simple scallion oil noodles for supper.

Afraid of waking Xu Zheng up, he cooked the noodles lightly, didn't bring them out to the dining table, and ate them in the kitchen, finishing them in just a few mouthfuls.

Fu Yue cleaned up the used dishes, turned off the lights in the living room, turned on the flashlight that came with the phone, and tiptoed to the guest room.

The guest room is really a "guest room". There is only one bed in the whole room, but the cleanliness of this room is comparable to that of a hotel. Fu Yue can't find a speck of dust anywhere he can see with his naked eyes.

He jumped into the quilt, opened WeChat again, clicked on the chat box with Xu Zheng, and there was only a cold sentence "I passed your friend verification request, now we can start chatting".

Fu Yue clicked on the transfer, hesitated for a while, then quit, and ordered the red envelope.

A red envelope can be sent up to two hundred at a time, and Fu Yue sent it three times. The name of the red envelope: Excuse me, thank you.

Each red envelope has an emoticon package attached.

It's a 90° bow, it can move, and it's a cute thank you expression pack.

Holding the phone, he knew that Xu Zheng had fallen asleep and would not call him now.

But he tossed and turned, and did not fall asleep until the stars hid behind the clouds.
