Wanderer

Chapter 116

Half a month later, the northward cold snapped as promised, and down jackets appeared in many cities above the north-south dividing line. Occasionally, a modern girl would sway through the city with her two beautiful legs, and she must have gritted her teeth when she turned around and hid in the office with constant temperature. Suddenly, the milk tea shop on the street put up a sign saying "Winter Special Drinks". The salesperson of the clothing store took off the dress on the plastic mannequin and changed it into a set of neat wool coat, and the sanitation workers took it away by truck. There are fallen leaves on the street, and occasionally the frozen corpses of sparrows. The primary school has changed the closing time, for fear that the children will be in danger if they walk at night.

Wen Hai still has no news.

Bai Yunqi is used to this kind of life rhythm of "on the string" all the time, or the rhythm of work, there is no difference, his life is basically only work.Like a pre-programmed robot, he checks his personal mobile phone regularly and regularly every day, and continues to work with peace of mind after confirming that there is no news.Bokang refused to blow the lamp and pull out the wax for a long time, and neither he nor Boyue could be at peace. The former Kangyue was held too tightly. The eldest princess has never been through such a big storm, and the crown prince picked up from the street has never seen such a big battle... The queen empress is really useful, but the concubine's heart is as big as the sky, and the man's heart is as hard as iron, and there are no internal conflicts between the husband and wife. It is completely resolved, and I really can't get up the energy to deal with more intrigues.

What a mess.

Listening to the dying person repeatedly emphasizing to himself that he should leave everything that can be left to Bai Yue, Bai Yunqi smiled shamelessly, leaving it to Xue Yanmei, to Bai Yue... If they really want to leave each other As a family, it doesn't matter who you leave it to, but everyone wants to take most of it from the other party and hold it in their own hands. When things go well, I'm afraid they will start acting the scene of close relatives again. Not participating in the play, hugging and crying while guarding against being stabbed from behind.

Why bother, it sounds tiring.

Bo Kang stopped talking, looked at Bo Yunqi's undisguised smile, and asked him what he was laughing at.

Bai Yunqi: "It's nothing, I just remembered a word."

"what?"

"It's not a family, don't go into a family." Bai Yunqi closed the folder in his hand, "I don't know what Xiaoying will look like in the future, it's better not to be too like you and her sister, girl, don't eat too much." How bitter."

But Bokang said: "My children, you are the most like me."

"I don't even know if I'm your child or not. It's better not to bear the name." Bai Yunqi laughed, "I'm not praising you after all."

Instead of being annoyed, Bokang insisted on explaining, "I didn't falsify that paternity test."

"Yeah." Bai Yunqi circled a number with a red pen, and handed the folder to Baikang, "Is the additional investment in the second phase too high? New policies will be introduced soon, and this project may have to... "

"You are really my son." Bai Kang turned back to an ordinary old man, stubborn as an ignorant child, "If you don't believe me, you can go to the testing agency by yourself now..."

Bai Yunqi replied: "Okay, I believe in you."

"You do not believe."

"I told you, I believe you."

"You still don't believe it." Bokang said stubbornly, "Call me Dad, okay?"

After several times, Bai Yunqi was amused again. He remembered what he said when he was reading a book before, when people are close to death, they will always reveal their deepest nature, whether it is good or ugly, so many directors and writers are obsessed with the doomsday Subject matter, tortured human nature over and over again, and got no pleasant results, but he won the jackpot here, and found a father when he was almost 30 years old.

Seeing Bai Kang's sick and dying appearance, Bai Yunqi suddenly became tired, and his death was like a lamp going out. What can he care about with a dead person, and what's the use of worrying about it? He doesn't believe in heaven and hell. Once he closed his eyes and kicked his legs, it was just a pile of meat, and he found the rest of the unhappiness for himself.

The unfamiliar syllable reached his throat, and the mobile phone on the small coffee table rang right away. Bai Yunqi turned his head to look at the caller ID, and missed the deep disappointment on Bai Kang's face.

Xue Yanmei opened the door with a lunch box and walked in, issued an order to evict guests quietly, and when she was a step away from Bai Yunqi face to face, she greeted him with courtesy and thoughtfulness, her red lips parted slightly when she spoke, and the law lines followed her movements The lines are vivid.

Bai Yunqi also smiled back. Compared with being shameless and double-decker, he has never lost to anyone.

He said this to Wen Hai, and he was beaten after he finished speaking. Wen Hai asked incredulously if you thought it was an old honor or something, and he also answered plausibly, saying what's wrong with being shameless. How did I catch you? Wen Hai said that I was the one who was so fucking shameless. What did you do at that moment... Then the two fought again, and they hit the bed. In the end, there was nothing to argue about.

... Am I thinking of Wen Hai again?

Bai Yunqi stroked his hair back helplessly. After more than a month of painstaking efforts, he, who was about to be middle-aged, almost broke out again. When he touched a lump on his hand, he couldn't bear the pain. There was a "hiss", and the assistant over there heard the sound, and immediately fell silent.

"It's okay, I'll go back right away." Bai Yunqi turned sideways to make way for the old man who was pushing the wheelchair. The rattle that the old woman in the wheelchair was holding fell off. He leaned over to pick it up and handed it back. The old woman looked at him with a silly smile, no Just call him Xiaole.

The old man apologized, saying that he is old and his mind is confused.

The old woman suddenly grabbed the corner of his suit, still shouting: "Xiao Le, Xiao Le, let grandma give you a hug..."

Bai Yunqi asked, "Is Xiao Le your grandson?"

"That's right." The old man spread out the slipped blanket again, "My grandson is very promising and has settled down in a foreign place." He thought for a while, then explained, saying that her grandson seems to be working in some big company, and every day Every time I come back, I dress very much like Bai Yunqi.

Looking down at his suit, Bai Yunqi couldn't help laughing.

The old woman stretched out her hand stubbornly, repeating inarticulately: "Xiao Le, how long has it been since grandma saw you, let grandma hug you..."

Feeling embarrassed, the old man hurriedly pressed his wife's hand, and muttered, "I told you, Xiao Le won't be back until next year, you..."

"This is Xiao Le! How can I admit my mistake!" The old woman blushed, and she shed tears as she spoke, "Xiao Le, don't you recognize grandma! Did you forget grandma when you left the country?" Isn’t it?! I didn’t even call home…”

Bai Yunqi half-knelt down, squatted beside the wheelchair and said softly, "I'm sorry...Grandma, I was too busy with work a while ago, and I haven't had time to come back to see you."

"Oh, I'm sorry, just come back, just come back." The old lady touched his head, leaned forward and hugged him in her arms, "Xiao Le has grown up and has his own home. Grandma is useless... Do you have the habit of living there? You have loved fried noodles since you were a child, and I heard that foreigners don’t eat that kind of thing, what do you want to do?”

"Go to a Chinese restaurant." Bai Yunqi murmured, "But it's not as good as your cooking."

The old woman's face was full of smiles, and she couldn't help touching the back of the person in her arms. After a while, there was no movement, and she just fell asleep with her eyes closed.

Bai Yunqi raised his head, and the old man who was standing beside the two suddenly turned his back, and the suppressed cry leaked out from between his palms.

On the way back to the company from the hospital, Bai Yunqi fell asleep for a very short time - he is afraid to drive by himself now, he is driving tired every minute, he seems to have a dream, in the dream there is a woman in a floral dress I was singing, singing "When spring comes, the windows are full of green, and the big girl embroidered mandarin ducks under the window. Suddenly there was a ruthless blow, and the mandarin ducks beat each other..." After singing, I asked myself, Xiaoqi, does it sound good?

"Xiaoqi, does it sound good?"

When the driver swiped the parking card, there was a beep, and Bai Yunqi woke up instantly. The underground parking lot was much colder than outside, and the air was gloomy, making his hands and feet numb. He habitually glanced at his personal phone, only A system notification, he slept too late last night and forgot to charge it, now there is only 6% of the remaining battery, the red number jumping on the screen made him upset, so he simply turned off the phone.

It's a joke to say the reason for calling me so hastily. Some time ago, because of Bai Yunqi's phone call, Miss Xu, who was transferred to a corner of a branch by Bai Yue to do odd jobs The belief of "undying heart", diligently spread the rumor of "airborne prince" at the grassroots level, but her supervisor was also "leveled" by Bai Yunqi, and she reluctantly endured it by pinching her nose, but that Ms. Xu is really too much. She works eight hours a day, and this person spends three hours shopping on Taobao, three hours eating melon seeds and chatting, one hour working, and one hour cleaning up the mess made during the previous hour's work.

After doing this several times, Ms. Xu lived up to expectations and was honorably laid off.

Ms. Xu used to be Bokang's lover. Although there are still one, two, three, four, five, six, seven in front of her, she can't be named, but her breasts are proud and beautiful, and she will be favored after a while. Walking sideways, the old funder who followed at the moment has fallen, and the new funder who wants to curry favor is a dead gay. After more than a month, he has felt the coldness of the world, the warmth and coldness of human feelings, and his stomach is full of evil fire. He just ran to There was splashing at the gate of the headquarters.

Bai Yunqi took a special elevator, which happened to bypass the place where Miss Xu was cursing, and stopped into the tea room on the way to the office, where several assistants were chatting about gossip and anecdotes about the person at the door, unexpectedly A person came in and immediately fell into silence.

"Is it him?"

"It doesn't look like Chairman Bai."

"It's not that his mother is a chicken..."

The whispered discussions of several people came out through the crack of the open door. Bai Yunqi took a sip of coffee, and found that his hearing was affected by what he heard, and his hearing seemed to be similar to that of Wen Hai. The level of hearing the vibration of the mobile phone placed on the coffee table in the living room has evolved.

Pushing open the door of the office, Bai Yue was waiting for him inside. She changed into a light-colored skirt today, and she looked a lot more lively. When she saw Bai Yunqi walking in with a coffee cup, she frowned and said, "Let the assistant Just do it, you go and compete with them for the tea room."

Bai Yunqi shrugged, "I still have to do it myself in the future, it's not good to get used to others doing it now."

Bai Yue heard what he meant, and his expression changed.

"That girl hasn't left yet." Bai Yue put down the phone, looking impatient, "When my dad collapses, even the security guard won't work properly."

Bai Yunqi said "Well", "Not only the security, but also several logistics ministers are actually related accounts stuffed in by Bokang's old subordinates. I read the financial statements last night, and I should have earned enough oil and water in the past few years. It's time to switch dials."

Bai Yue looked embarrassed: "After all, he is my father's old subordinate. Even if I want to tear my face apart now, I may not be able to pry it."

Bai Yunqi: "The ones who can tear their faces have nothing in their hands, and the ones who can pry them are too deeply related to them. It's really embarrassing."

When he said this, Bai Yue understood who had the power to stir up the situation and had nothing to do with the old directors—a Bai Yunqi who came by air with Bai Kang's "royal order".

This is Bokang's last painstaking effort and sincerity, which he left unreservedly to his children—one of them.

"What do you want?" Bai Yue looked at him deeply, "What are you doing these for?"

"I don't want to say anything. I just want to say that after all this shit, I will never get in touch with the Bai family. Is it too fake?" Bai Yunqi noticed Bai Yue's hesitant expression, and smiled to himself, "Or I need something, just money, you make an offer, how much is it worth for me to be slapped by you?"

Bai Yue was taken aback: "What slap?"

"I'm going to finish singing this bad face, and it's up to you to save the scene." Bai Yunqi tilted his head outside, "Did you hear how they scolded me? You have to scold me like that when the time comes, but don't act like this You have to show that this place is Lao Tzu... the aura that my old lady said counts, just hit the bunch of corpses who eat vegetarian food, since what I say here doesn't count, they don't count either."

The two exchanged a tacit look, knowing that it was time to start the final battle.

It was busy until late at night again, and Bai Yunqi went back to the hotel. Bai Yue said several times to ask him to find a short-term rental that he could move in with his bags or directly live in another property of Baikang. Anyway, it was all on the company's account , A complete house is always more comfortable than a hotel room.Bai Yunqi didn't agree, and when he wanted to leave in the hotel, he could carry his suitcase and go through the formalities and then he could turn around and leave. It took a long time to find a house to live in, and a long time to clean up when he moved out. When it was time for him to go home, An extra minute here is a waste.

After taking a shower, the wall clock on the wall pointed to the number 3. Bai Yunqi sat cross-legged on the bed and watched a movie broadcast on the hotel's internal channel. Flying, screaming, blood splashed all over the screen, and people outside the screen were bored playing Sudoku games on their mobile phones.

Oh, this is also the way he learned from Wen Hai to kill time.

When there were two lines left, the screen of the phone went dark, reminding him that there was still 10% of the battery left. Bai Yunqi got up to look for the charger, saw that there were two piled up on the table, took them all, and the private phone lit up. Green light.

Bai Yunqi feels that he has been completely forced out of obsessive-compulsive disorder by Wen Hai recently. Like now, he knows that even if there are unread text messages when he turns on the phone, it may only be from the operator and harassing advertisements, so he can't help but turn on the phone button, the screen status is set to be always on, and he stared at the peony flower on the default screen for a full 5 minutes, except for the flower or the flower, this time even the harassing text messages were gone.Laughing self-deprecatingly, he put his phone on the bedside table and reached out to turn off the light.

As soon as the hand touched the touch switch, the delicate and beautiful peony flower jumped out on the screen that had just been turned off, followed by a continuous "buzzing" vibration, and the number of unread text messages continued to increase, and finally Stopping on the very auspicious "8", the room suddenly fell into darkness, and the only light source illuminated Bai Yunqi's idiot-like face at this moment.

"I"

"I slipped my hand just now, the mission is basically over, and I have returned to the team."

"Have you finished your work in the capital?"

"See the text message and call me back."

Bai Yunqi glanced at the sending time, and there was almost ten hours between the next few messages and the one above, almost three hours ago——

"Are you still angry, little ancestor?"

"I was wrong, really wrong."

"Don't be angry, call me back."

The last one was only half an hour away from the present one. The content was concise and powerful, and it could be called resounding. It was just one word - "Fuck."

Bai Yunqi shook his hand, and the phone fell straight down, lying on the plush carpet unharmed, still stuck on the text message interface.

"Hold."

The author has something to say:

Thank you all.
