The Pentium Era - South to North

Zhang Chen stood there, watching Zhong Yaqiong's figure disappear, and felt a little confused. Damn it, this project has just begun. He thought he could do something big, but he didn't expect that this project would have nothing to do with him so soon. .

Now that I have become an unemployed person again, I have to start riding my bicycle every day and looking for a job on the streets again.

"oops!"

Zhang Chen yelled and ran outside the alley. Thinking about riding a bicycle every day to find a job, he realized that his bicycle had just been thrown on the side of the road. It seemed that the chain was not locked.

Zhang Chen ran there, but there was no trace of his bicycle anywhere. He looked at the pile of ruins over there and saw that Daniel and the others were gone. Zhang Chen had a fantasy. He thought, could it be Daniel and the others? I saw him forgetting his bicycle on the side of the road and put it in.

The door of the air-raid shelter facing Baochu Road had just been opened in the morning, but now it was closed again. Zhang Chen quickly got in from the next door and walked to the entrance of the cave. The door here was still open, but it was quiet inside. Zhang Chen Chen Chen walked inside and saw only the man who was looking at the construction site. Zhang Chen asked him, where are Daniel and the others?

"Go home."

"Have you seen my bicycle? I parked it on the side of the road without locking it. Could it be that Daniel and the others took it back for me."

"No, if they bring it in, they will definitely give it to me. By the way, Manager Zhang, where did you park on the roadside?"

"Bao Chu Road."

"Then it must be gone. If you park in the next lane, there are not many people walking around here all day long. Maybe it will still be on Baochu Road. There are so many people coming and going, and you don't even have ten cars left."

Zhang Chen left there in frustration and walked outside to the intersection of Xia Lane and Baochu Road. His mood was extremely bad. Damn it, his job was gone, his bicycle was gone, and the chain lock was gone. It was thrown cleanly once.

He cares about the bicycle, and what he cares more about is that this car belongs to Sister Guihua. How can he tell others if the car is lost?

Zhang Chen looked at the West Lake not far away and even thought about jumping down. He moved his feet and walked towards that side involuntarily.

It was a cloudy day today, and the cold wind was blowing outside. There were not many people around the West Lake. Zhang Chen walked to the lake and sat down on a stone bench. The stone bench was bone-deeply cold. After sitting for a while, I felt like my butt was frozen.

The wind blew coldly on his face, and Zhang Chen felt that his brain was frozen. He stared blankly at the West Lake in front of him. In the huge West Lake, there were only two or three cruise ships. They looked lonely. They seemed to be lonely. Not being rowed by the boatman, but being blown by the wind, drifting aimlessly on the lake.

An eight or nine-year-old boy walked up to Zhang Chen. He was wearing a ragged adult's cotton-padded jacket. His sleeves were rolled up several times and tied around his waist with a hemp rope. The stench wafted over.

He stood there without saying a word, but stretched out his black-glazed hand towards Zhang Chen. Zhang Chen looked at him, and he sucked back the two clear snot hanging on his lips with a strong suction.

Zhang Chen opened his bag and saw the envelope Zhong Yaqiong gave him in front of him. Zhang Chen took out a ten-dollar note from the envelope. After thinking about it, he took out another ten dollars and handed it to him.

The child didn't dare to pick it up. He looked at Zhang Chen with a strange and muddy look in his eyes. The snot was dripping down again. He took a sharp breath and sucked the snot back. The moment the snot came back, he grabbed it. With the money in Zhang Chen's hand, he turned around and ran towards the broken bridge as if he was afraid that Zhang Chen would regret it.

Zhang Chen smiled widely and shook his head.

He continued to look at the West Lake in front of him for a while, then turned around and looked in the direction in which the child was running. He saw the child from a distance and handed the money to an adult who was also in ragged clothes. There were four or five children. He looked towards Zhang Chen and said something. The four or five children immediately came over to Zhang Chen.

"What the fuck!" Zhang Chen cursed. Knowing that he was in trouble, he quickly stood up and walked quickly towards Sixth Park.

The children followed from a distance and quickened their pace. Zhang Chen panicked and simply started running. He knew that he would be in trouble if he was caught by this group of people today. They hugged his legs and pulled his clothes. There's no way you can get out.

Zhang Chen ran for more than a hundred meters. Looking back, these people finally gave up and did not follow. Zhang Chen cursed "Fuck you" again, thinking that he must have looked very embarrassed when he ran just now.

I lost my job, my bicycle, and my chain lock. I thought I was sympathizing with the little boy, but I ended up being targeted by a group of fraudsters disguised as beggars. I lost twenty yuan in vain. Why was I so fucking unlucky today?

Zhang Chen was so angry that when he saw a piece of wood on the side of the road, he kicked it hard. He could not help but grimace. He squatted down in pain and looked again. He saw that this piece of wood was not wood. It was just placed on the side of the road for decoration. , cement pillars painted to look like wood.

Zhang Chen squatted for a while, still worried that those people would come after him. He looked behind him and saw them as expected. However, their target was no longer him. Instead, they were chasing a couple towards this side. The couple quickened their pace, looking extremely embarrassed, and kept avoiding the dirty hands they stretched out.

Zhang Chen quickly got up and limped away from there. He simply left the West Lake and walked to the opposite side of Beishan Street. Then he walked forward from there and crossed the West Huancheng Road.

Zhang Chen walked to the intersection of the teaching field and went further to Wanghu Hotel. Zhang Chen thought that no matter what, he should call Boss Liu and tell him that he had left the company and could no longer help him keep an eye on him. this project.

Zhang Chen would also tell him that although he is no longer in the company, don't worry, if there are any problems with your project in the future, Boss Liu, I will definitely help you with suggestions, including the soft packaging after completion.

Zhang Chen felt that this was the least he should do as a friend.

Zhang Chen decided to call Boss Liu. He walked along Jiaochang Road and walked to Jiande Road. Only then did he see a public phone. Zhang Chen dialed the switchboard of Wanghu Hotel and transferred Boss Liu. s room.

After the phone rang a few times, someone picked up and said, "Hello, who is this?"

Zhang Chen recognized the voice of Boss Liu's younger brother, and he quickly said: "Hello, I'm Zhang Chen. Please let Boss Liu answer the phone."

"Oh, hello, Manager Zhang!" The other party also knew who the caller was. He said, "Boss Liu has returned to Taiwan. Everything is going well here. After signing the contract, he will go back to Taiwan to handle some things. "

all the best? Zhang Chen felt a little dumbfounded, but after thinking about it, it actually didn't matter to Boss Liu. Just because you are no longer in the company, it doesn't mean that the project can't proceed. It's just a change of person in charge of the construction site.

"Manager Zhang, what can I do?"

"It's okay, it's okay, thank you!" Zhang Chen said and hung up the phone.

Yes, what will happen? You're the only one in trouble.

Zhang Chen looked at his watch. It was almost eleven o'clock. There was a shop selling fried buns and beef vermicelli next to it. The shop was too small, and the boss put all the tables and stools outside on the road. Zhang Chen sat down and ordered five. A fried bun and a bowl of beef vermicelli.

After eating, he packed another bowl of vermicelli and five fried buns. He didn't know where the bus station was nearby, let alone how to get to Youshengguan Road, so he simply called a disabled car. I agreed on the price of the car at three yuan and got on it.

What's the point? Didn't I just contribute twenty yuan to the fraud group? Three yuan is nothing. Zhang Chen thought.

Although usually, they would definitely care about these three dollars.

When Zhang Chen arrived at the Red Flag Hotel, Xiao Zhao saw the fried steamed buns and beef vermicelli he brought and shouted happily: "That's great, dear, I'm still thinking about what to eat for lunch today."

Zhang Chen sat down by the brazier and helped Xiao Zhao heat up steamed buns and vermicelli. Xiao Zhao remembered and asked, "Why do you have time to come here now?"

Zhang Chen said angrily: "You don't have to go to work today."

"Why?"

Zhang Chen did not continue. Xiao Zhao saw that his expression was wrong, turned his face, looked at him and asked: "Dear, has something happened? Tell me quickly, we have agreed to do anything together. Negotiable."

"I lost Sister Guihua's bicycle." Zhang Chen said.

Xiao Zhao breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "So it's this. I thought it was a big deal. It's okay. When Sister Guihua comes, we'll ask how much it will cost and we'll just pay her."

Zhang Chen retracted his hands into his sleeves, picked up the beef vermicelli on the brazier, put it on the table, and said to Xiao Zhao: "It's ready to eat, be careful not to burn it!"

Xiao Zhao said "Yeah": "Thank you, dear."
