Can't tell the truth from the fake

Chapter 17 Dissatisfaction

When Lu Xi woke up, he found that the commercial vehicle was empty, only himself was left.

He massaged his temples with his hands, and the dizziness caused by dozens of hours of airsickness still persisted.He squinted his eyes and looked out the window, only to find that the car was parked outside a community.

He closed his eyes again and leaned back on the seat.After a long while, he felt that his weak legs had finally regained some strength, so he untied the seat belt that restrained him, pushed open the door and went out.

The warm air rushed towards him, with a slight humidity that is unique to coastal cities. Perhaps the sky was getting darker, and the cool evening wind would blow by from time to time, making his hair a little messy.

"you're awake?"

Suddenly a voice sounded behind Lu Xi, he turned his head and saw the driver leaning on the car door to smoke.

"Have they all gone?"

"Yes. The boss asked me to give this to you after you wake up." The driver pinched off his cigarette and handed a bunch of keys to Lu Xi.

"What kind of key is this?" Lu Xi was a little puzzled.

"This community, Room 5, Unit 1, Building 1001."

Lu Xi took the bunch of silver keys, and he looked up at the driver who was a head taller than him: "Is this given to me by Mr. Gu?"

"The boss didn't elaborate, you can ask him yourself." The driver finally left this sentence and turned to get in the car.

Soon, with the sound of the commercial vehicle starting, it disappeared in the blink of an eye and disappeared from Lu Xi's vision.

Lu Xi shrugged his shoulders, picked up the backpack that the driver had put on the ground, and walked towards the address he had just learned full of doubts.

"Crack-"

Lu Xi opened the door with the number 1001, and pressed the switch on the wall of the door.

The warm white light illuminated the room, he changed into the slippers placed on the shoe rack, and fell down on the sofa a little top-heavy.

This is a house of less than [-] square meters. The small space is divided into two bedrooms, one living room and one bathroom. The overall decoration style is also extremely simple, just like a standard room in a hotel.

His tired eyes narrowed into a slit, and he looked at the screen of the phone through a somewhat hazy vision, and pressed the string of numbers that he had memorized so well.

"Hi, I'm Gu Wen."

"Gu... President."

"What's the matter?" Gu Wen's indifferent voice came to his ears, like a cold pool that has not melted for a long time in winter, without a trace of warmth.

Lu Xi was a little silent. For some reason, he always felt that this conversation, the tone of the conversation, the two parties in the conversation, and even the content of the conversation were so familiar, so familiar that it disturbed the steady beating frequency of his heart, making his eyes become sour.

"Speak." Gu Wen, who hadn't received an answer for a long time, had a hint of impatience in his tone, just like the undisguised boredom and disgust in the previous phone call.

Lu Xi looked at his fingertips and asked in a low voice, "Is it possible that I can never go back again?"

"What?" Gu Wen didn't hear Lu Xi's vague murmur.

Lu Xi sighed, wiped his face, cleared his throat and recovered his normal voice: "I mean, Mr. Gu, I want to ask if the company gave me this house?"

"At present, you have no significant contribution to the company, and you have no outstanding personal performance." Gu Wen said indifferently, "I just consider that you don't have real estate in City G, so this house can only be used as your temporary residence."

"...Okay, I understand."

"Come to the company to report on time at 9 o'clock tomorrow morning."

"land……"

"Beep-beep-beep-" The phone was hung up.

Lu Xi stared at the mobile phone that automatically returned to the desktop, frowned tightly, his handsome facial features twisted ferociously, and the sentimentality in his heart disappeared in an instant.

"Damn, don't you tell me the company address? I know whether to go to the headquarters or the branch?"

Early the next morning, when Gu Wen stepped out of the elevator and walked towards his office, he saw Lu Xi who was leaning against the wall and gently tapping the ground with his toes.

He indifferently swept over the man's soft and slightly curly black hair and half-opened gray pupils, and walked straight forward.

As expected, a familiar voice came from behind.

"Mr. Gu, I'm here to report!"

Gu Wen pushed open the office door, glanced at him, and Lu Xi walked in after him.

"What's Mr. Gu's order?"

For some reason, Gu Wen always felt dissatisfied in the tone of this young man with low eyebrows and pleasing appearance.

He frowned slightly, and automatically attributed this implied emotion to being dissatisfied that he didn't give him the house.

"You go to the marketing department to report to the supervisor, and you will work there in the future. If you are full by the end of the year and the work is outstanding, I will transfer the property to your name."

"Okay." Lu Xi nodded, turned and left noncommittal.

After he walked out of Gu Wen's sight, he turned around and pointed his middle finger fiercely in Gu Wen's direction, cursing in a low voice: "Damn it, I got up at five o'clock and ran to three places! You Still acting like a normal person!"

"May you drink cold water today and your teeth will be stuffed!"

***

Time passed quickly in Lu Xi's ordinary life of two points and one line, and suddenly a month passed.

During this month, Lu Xi followed the person in charge of the marketing department through sales outlets, shopping malls and companies of all sizes.I have also dealt with recent files at my desk and browsed through various cases.

Today, he has changed from a layman who can only do chores to an old employee who can skillfully handle the business that the department is responsible for alone.

This morning, after Lu Xi had breakfast at home as usual, he walked into the lobby of the company, and suddenly saw a familiar figure hovering by the elevator.

"Young time?"

"Hi, Chinning!" The woman in the light blue windbreaker turned her head to look at Lu Xi, her soft long hair fluttering slightly around her slender waist, her voice was as soft as ever.

"Have you returned to China?" Lu Xi walked up to her and asked with a smile.

"Yes, I arrived in City G last night."

"That's it. Ah! It's almost nine o'clock, I'll sign in first." Lu Xi looked down at the time on his phone, and waved to Qing Shi, "We'll catch up when we have time!"

Qingshi stood on the spot and nodded to Lu Xi, she silently looked at Lu Xi's receding figure, complex fluctuations flashed across her clear eyes.
