Aesthetics of Violence [Entertainment]

The last weekend of 2018 is approaching, and there is still no sign of the first heavy snowfall belonging to Pingjing City.

People are all regretting that this year's Christmas was not spent in a white fairy tale world, but within a few days of regretting, they were all drawn away by the coming New Year's Day.Although the Christmas tree on the street has been removed, it looks a bit empty at first glance, but the enthusiasm these days is even higher than the previous few days. After all, compared with Western festivals without holidays, the temptation to take a three-day small holiday Still bigger.

However, Ge Qiao looked at the title of the unread email lying in the work mailbox, and instantly poured cold water from head to toe like a basin of cold water.The personnel department also knew that they had done something particularly inhuman, so they used tactful words, fearing to arouse public anger, and organized a group to blow up their department's office.Every sentence in the text of the email is accompanied by "oh", "ha", and "la", probably thinking that being coquettish and cute can alleviate the crime, but it doesn't help at all.

In the eyes of the recipients who were filled with grief and anger, this tone was as annoying as a neurotic looking for faults.

Hertz人事部：根据公司高层决定哦，今年的元旦节我们就不过啦。周六（12月29日）周日（12月30日）正常休息，周一（12月31日）周二（1月1日）正常上班哈，希望各位鼓足干劲争上游，年终奖等着你哦！新的一年也要继续冲冲冲！祝大家元旦快乐哦！

Happy you paralyzed.

Ge Qiao dropped the mouse angrily, with a "bang bang", he rarely made up his mind, thinking that the new year can no longer be muddled through, and determined to become a social elite with plans and goals.After finally patiently finishing the last punctuation mark of the year-end summary, I just planned the "squatting at home" plan for New Year's Day, and even went into detail about what movie to watch and which book to read. Which chapter of the novel turned out to be a neurotic email, and everything came to naught.

To your social elite, to your New Year's resolutions.

In 2019, I am still the most dazzling social animal.

Ge Qiao, who realized that "life is really hopeless", can only comfort himself, it doesn't matter, anyway, I still have a Saturday, when the whole country is at work, I have a holiday, how good it is.

However, Ge Qiao's roommates did not exist in this "National People".

Shen Yan's classes are on Mondays and Thursdays, and Hu Zhinan's classes are on Mondays and Fridays, but their school has to make up classes on Tuesdays on Saturdays, which means that the two people will have nearly a week of New Year's Day holiday.Because Lei Zi made a mistake, Zhu Zan decided to be angry with him for a few more days, so he decided to take a four-day vacation for himself, and did not go to work on Saturday.

Thus, Ge Qiao's self-hypnosis was easily destroyed.

Zhu Zan advised him: "Forget it, don't feel unbalanced, if you think about it this way, you get more overtime pay than us..."

What a brilliant idea.

Shen Yan's background has always been mysterious, but judging from the fact that this building worth tens of millions is his personal property, it is known that he is definitely not short of money.As for Zhu Zan, although he never mentioned it, but seeing how he usually spends money lavishly without blinking an eye, he also knows that this child must be born in a wealthy family.Hu Zhinan, who has no background, no money, no family background, is the only one in the whole room who can be compared.

Ge Qiao felt that he was so miserable that he got to the point where he had to compare salary with a college student.

Fortunately, everyone in this house is kind-hearted and sympathizes with Ge Qiao's tragic experience. In order to comfort his wounded heart, they decided to go shopping together on Saturday, to help him change his mood and relax, and by the way, to celebrate the annual Getting ready for New Years cleaning.

Because this is a trip born of Ge Qiao, it is only natural that Ge Qiao became the protagonist today, but he looks neither depressed nor sad, happily instructing the other three people to do this and that in the car, Not at all ambiguous.

"It's too cold, turn on the air conditioner..."

"Don't blow on me, Hu Zhinan, adjust the wind direction..."

"I want to listen to the radio station, FM101.7, hurry up..."

"I'll take a nap for a while, call me when I arrive."

Zhu Zan turned on the car radio, which happened to be channel 101.7.

"...Welcome back, continue to listen to 'Xinxin Music Diary', hey, Brother Tong, I wonder if you have heard of the name 'Red-haired Annie'?"

"I've heard of it! Is it a little red-haired girl? I remember that in some cartoon."

"Hey, you are wrong, the 'red-haired Annie' I said is not the red-haired Annie in the cartoon, but the recent popularity, the popularity is extremely high, and the rankings are going up. Miss 'Red-haired Annie', a Chinese-speaking independent musician..."

"Oh! So you are talking about her! I know, I listen to her songs every day recently, and I can sing, 'Tell me, you are willing to take off the moon and give it to me, don't be sincere, just promise'... "

"God, there is really no note in tune..."

"Pull it down, what ears, my title of 'Pingjing Maiba' is not blown out, I sing all over Pingjing's invincible hand..."

"Take a break, let us continue to talk about the musician Annie the Red, her new song, alas, this is not a new song, what is this? Counterattack, yes, it should be this first song The Divine Comedy that came back in two weeks... Hey, it's really amazing, how did this song suddenly come back? Swept No. [-] on the major charts, there was no sign at all, it was too sudden..."

"Tsk, this is why you don't understand. How can it be called sudden? Excellent works will never be buried! You see, the eyes of the masses are always so sharp. Recently, many weight loss exercises on pilipili have become popular. You Did you know?"

"What diet exercise?"

"Okay, I know you don't need to be thin...just me, with my figure, I really need to watch this teaching video of weight loss exercises. I found out that the background music used for these weight loss exercises recently is this one by Anne the Red Hair Song, listen to it, hey! I thought it sounded good, and then I searched for the sound source and listened to it over and over again..."

"Aha, then it is estimated that many people, like you, fell in love with this song so much."

"Hey, tell me, do people who like this song have the same body shape as me?"

"..."

"Ha, ha, ha, okay... Having said so much, let's quickly let the audience friends come and enjoy this incredible song that has become popular recently!"

"Okay, let's listen together, Red-haired Anne, "I Said He Said Me"..."

Ge Qiao narrowed his eyes and fell asleep completely.

The only sound left in the car was the rustling music on the radio and the muffled roar of the engine.

After an unknown amount of time, Zhu Zan's car stopped at the entrance of the mall.

Ge Qiao stood there in a daze and looked up at the big yellow characters on the blue building, and his lazy voice was a little nasal: "I never thought that I would come to such a place alive..."

Standing not far behind him, Shen Yan was quite helpless when he heard this: "It's time for you to learn how to live."

Ge Qiao turned his head, confidently: "Who said I won't live? Just ask the 'thorn' in my house, how well I take care of it!"

"Meat thorn" is a pot of cactus raised in Ge Qiao's bedroom. Because it is a succulent plant, and it is covered with thorns, and this southerner living in Pingjing is obsessed with Er Huayin, so he got this name.

Shen Yan opened his mouth, hesitated to speak, and finally said nothing, just sighed.

"Home" has always been a distant and unfamiliar word to Ge Qiao, because he never thought that he would have an intersection with this word, so he feels more and more novelty about the things around him.

Shen Yan followed behind him, putting back the sofa pillows he had dropped casually like a child, without any complaints.Hu Zhinan and Zhu Zan didn't know which district they went to have fun, and they had disappeared.

Just when Ge Qiao was pointing to an exaggerated and expensive floor lamp, trying to persuade Shen Yan to buy it and put it in the living room as a magic weapon to ward off evil spirits and protect the house, Zhu Zan showed the tip of his head from the front, and called Ge Qiao in a low voice. : "Brother Qiao, look, who I met!"

He dragged a person's arm and walked this way, Ge Qiao took a closer look, isn't it beautiful.

He was surprised, stared blankly at that face, and directly asked, "What are you doing here?"

Zhong Mingyan smiled without panic, and answered him: "Add a sofa to the new office, and then buy some things for home."

Ge Qiao sighed unconsciously: "What a coincidence, Pingjing is such a big city, how many times have we met by chance, it must be one in ten thousand fate."

Zhu Zan stood aside and listened to their greetings, and suddenly interrupted: "Hey, last night I seemed to..." Before he could finish speaking, Zhong Mingcan stopped him.

Zhong Mingcan quickly cut off the second half of his sentence, and forcibly added a nonsense: "Why did you come together?" It seemed that he was changing the subject.

In fact, it was not a coincidence.

Last night, because of the unhappiness caused by Xue Tao, Zhu Zan complained to Zhong Mingcan for a long time.It is not easy for him to talk to others about this matter, after all, the twists and turns are not so clear.He was really aggrieved and panicked, and giving him the gap during the Spring Festival was equivalent to telling him, "You're just a fake". The teeth are swallowing, but now the guests are playing big names, the assistant director is unreliable, the rookie is about to retire, and a lot of shit happens before the show is broadcast. He is very annoying, so in the end he can only Go to an indirect victim—the show guest and good buddy Zhong Mingcan to confide in.

Confidentially until after ten o'clock in the evening, the knot in his heart finally eased a little. He remembered that he had a schedule for the next day, so he mentioned it to Zhong Mingcan over there: Tomorrow we will accompany Brother Da Qiao to visit the newly opened IKEA, he is in a bad mood because he has to work overtime on New Year’s Day, and he has to leave early tomorrow morning, and I have to drive for them, so I’ll go to bed first, and we’ll talk next time.

Zhong Mingcan said "goodbye" and rolled his eyes. The only newly opened IKEA is the one on Fuqian Street. Since Zhu Zan has slipped up so sincerely, he would be sorry if he didn't join in on this occasion.

So he came early in the morning, hovering within ten meters of the entrance, waiting for an opportunity.

But in order to make Ge Qiao continue to believe in the one in tens of thousands of fate, he chose not to say it, and continued to pretend that it was really just a coincidence.

He smiled brightly: "Since we met, let's go shopping together."

Zhu Zan smirked, Ge Qiao nodded, Shen Yan secretly let out a long sigh of relief, he could finally let him go, he finally had time to play with Hu Zhinan.

"What do you want to buy? Let me help you see it together." Ge Qiao walked side by side with him. He didn't have anything to buy. He went out today purely to relax. Seeing that Zhong Mingcan seemed to really want to buy something, he just thought about it Help him choose goods.

Zhong Mingcan read the finished draft: "A sofa, a shelf, and some miscellaneous things. Buy whatever suits you."

Ge Qiao looked around uneasily, he was a little lost now, his mind was very distracted, and he didn't forget to mutter: "There are so many..."

Zhong Mingcan watched him striding towards the dead end, and quickly pulled him back: "Go and see the sofa first, it's over there."

Going shopping is probably boring for a man, but going to a home furnishing store is the most boring thing in the world for Ge Qiao.

I accompanied Zhong Mingcan to the end of the sofa area, got up and sat down countless times, but I never heard Zhong Mingcan say "good".In the end, I couldn't take it anymore. I sat down on a nearby brown-red double sofa and couldn't get up. I slumped sickly on my back, closed my eyes, and knew that the words were very careless: "That's it. Yes, simple and elegant, comfortable and environmentally friendly, and the color is also good-looking, especially in line with your temperament, you can buy it, there is no other sofa to look at if you go forward."

Zhong Mingcan looked at Ge Qiao's lazy look, and narrowed his eyes with a smile. He patted the back of the sofa, then the cushion, pretending to be thinking about it, and finally nodded: "Yes, it's really good, that's it."

Ge Qiao opened his eyes and squinted at him. This man was picky just now, why is he suddenly so happy now?

He suspected that this person had a bad stomach, but he had no evidence, so he could only ask in a muffled voice, "Are you playing with me?"

Zhong Mingcan held up his mobile phone to take a picture of the number of the sofa, and wrote lightly: "How come, let's go, let's find a shelf."

Ge Qiao collapsed, he just bought the first thing, just now he said how many things he wanted to buy?

In order to take care of Ge Qiao's three-second physical strength, Zhong Mingcan walked slowly with him like an old man walking, and was afraid that he would feel bored, so he kept talking to him and kept talking to him.

Although today is the weekend, most people should still be working bitterly at this time because of the time off, so there are not many people in the mall, and there are probably regular customers in twos and threes, strolling around in the courtyard. In the complicated and winding aisles, occasionally stop in front of the items of interest and touch them.Ge Qiao glanced back inadvertently, but he couldn't see the end, and he didn't know how big this layer of space was.And because of this wonderful sense of emptiness, the voices of others seem to be enclosed in a glass cover. Even if people standing not far away are talking and laughing, every syllable can't be heard clearly, intermittent and ethereal , Teach people inexplicably flustered.

Ge Qiao pulled something that looked like a sticker in the iron basket, and asked, "What is this?"

Zhong Mingcan leaned over and took a look: "These are stickers on the legs of tables and chairs to prevent them from scratching the wooden floor." Then, he stretched out a hand, "Help me get two, I just need them."

Ge Qiao raised his eyes to look at the price. Compared with the furniture he looked at before, it was surprisingly cheap. Without comparison, there would be no impulse consumption. He lowered his head and grabbed a handful from the iron basket, stuffing it into his arms: "Here, here, Take some more and save them for later.”

Seeing his empathetic appearance, Zhong Ming could not help but smile, but he accepted it honestly, took the scratch-resistant sticker that could be used for about five years, and said "thank you".

"What did you buy the shelf for?" Ge Qiao continued to touch this and knock there, and suddenly turned around and asked while walking.

"Playing records, the table can't fit."

"Then why not buy a bookshelf?"

"It's too troublesome to take the bookshelf back and assemble it by yourself."

Hearing this, Ge Qiao smiled: "So you are also afraid of trouble, can't you do it yourself, please ask Master Wan for help. "

"Isn't it more troublesome to do it yourself?" Zhong Mingcan kept following Ge Qiao who was dangling around, always worried that he would accidentally knock over something, "Master Wan's hands are very precious, and when he gets old, he is only willing to help. I have made musical instruments, and these simple but labor-intensive large pieces are all made by juniors."

"You have a really good relationship with Master Wan."

"Of course, we were together every day when we were young, and I was brought up by Master Wan."

"How did you know each other? It's not relatives, nor neighbors."

Zhong Mingcan paused for a moment, and did not answer immediately. When he spoke again, his tone was still calm, as if he was talking about other people's affairs: "I was lost when I was young, and it was Master Wan who picked me up and brought me home, and even cooked for me. eat."

It's easy to say, but the amount of information is a bit large, Ge Qiao suddenly opened his eyes wide: "Lost?"

"Well, playful, got lost."

Ge Qiao said "Hey": "I can't tell, I thought you were very obedient and obedient since you were a child."

Originally, he was ready to change the subject, and he didn't want to mention these things in the past, but after hearing what Ge Qiao said, he suddenly became interested again: "Really? Do you think I will be that kind of good boy when I was young?"

Ge Qiao nodded sincerely: "Yes, the kind that doesn't cry or make trouble, and is especially easy to coax."

Zhong Mingcan just laughed and didn't refute.He stopped in his tracks, raised his finger and pointed to the front, "The shelves are all in front, come and take a look with me."

Rather than buying a sofa, it seems more interesting to browse the shelf area. Ge Qiao was opened up to a new world by these various designs, and felt that they were either bursting with creativity, or practical and simple, and they were simply treasures that symbolized human wisdom.He let out a soft cry from time to time, if Zhu Zan was by his side, he would be so ashamed that he wanted to cover Ge Qiao's mouth, this man was just like a country bumpkin entering the city, making a fuss.But standing next to him was Zhong Mingcan, this person not only liked to see all the reactions Ge Qiao gave, but even came up to tease him:

"Look, this one is like a mirror when you lift it up, it's fun..."

"This one has push wheels, so it's more convenient to move around. It's especially suitable for lazy people like you."

"Well, don't pull it out hard, try pushing it in?"

Ge Qiao was very amused by him, and he smiled very sweetly with his eyes bent and his mouth grinning.In the end, he stood in front of a black bookshelf made of iron plates and couldn't walk. He thought the metallic luster of the black iron sheet was very beautiful, and he wanted to own it. He also explained a reason seriously: "I want to buy this The bookshelf, since I came here as a doctoral student, the CDs and books at home have been piled up in a mess, even I can't stand it anymore, so I must tidy it up when I go back."

Zhong Mingcan nodded in agreement, and didn't tell him that this kind of bookshelf is easy to deform and not strong. He was afraid of spoiling the interest of this Yan Kong, so he just took a picture of the number for him.

The two of them had a great time shopping by themselves, until they went to the warehouse to pick up the goods, and they didn't meet Shen Yan and the others.

Zhu Zan stared at the big paper box in Ge Qiao's arms, as if he had seen the ninth wonder of the world: "Brother Qiao, what did you buy? Why is it so big?"

"Bookshelf, I see that your books are piled up all over the place. Didn't you find the CD you were looking for last time? Take advantage of this big cleaning to tidy up those books and CDs, and then help you find them."

Zhu Zan couldn't believe his ears, his elder brother finally grew a heart, he was so gentle, and was moved to tears for a moment.

Zhong Mingcan followed them all the way to the front of the car. He silently held the box of bookshelf parts for Ge Qiao and put them in their trunk. , let’s go to the square to count down together then, shall we?”

Go, life is hard, you have to give yourself some gorgeous sense of ritual, so that it doesn't look so miserable.

When returning back, Shen Yan was driving, and Hu Zhinan was sitting in the co-pilot, turning his head and staring out the window in a daze.

Zhu Zan sat next to Ge Qiao, he couldn't get down, he moved around like a monkey.

After Ge Qiao asked Shen Yan to turn on the radio, he continued to take a nap with his eyes closed.

Zhong Mingcan returned to the shopping mall building and made an appointment with the staff for a delivery time. The sofa Ge Qiao chose was too heavy and too big, and he definitely couldn't move it back by himself.

Everyone has something they're doing, and something they're about to do.

No matter who is chosen to be the protagonist of the story, life seems to be the same, day after day, flat, deserted, not happy with things, not sad with oneself.Everything is happening and nothing is happening.

The author has something to say: I finally decided on the copywriting! ! !My God, I have to change more than a dozen versions!
