suddenly tired

That night, Ji Sumian had to work overtime, and Zhong Lei arrived at Junwei later to wait for him. After eight o'clock, there were not many people coming out of Junwei. He lay in the car for a while, and went out for a stroll bored.

These three people were on the side of the road when Zhong Lei first entered the parking lot. Two of them left for a while and then came back. They sat or stood by the flower bed, smoking from time to time, looking towards the entrance and exit of the building, as if they were waiting. human appearance.Under normal circumstances, you always have to contact someone first, and check your phone from time to time, but they don’t. Their every move is full of anxiety and hostility. Even if they can’t hear the content of the conversation, they throw cigarette butts and grind Some clues can also be seen in the broken movements.

Zhong Lei got off the car and walked to the entrance of the parking lot, chatting with the security guard.

"Xiao Cheng works late today?"

"Hey, brother Lei, do you smoke?"

"No smoking, quit, thank you. Hey, those three people stood there for more than an hour."

"It's more than that, they were there when I took over."

"It looks kind of weird."

"Maybe I'm waiting for someone, I'll go over and ask." He ran over and came back soon, "They said they were waiting for a friend, and I asked them if they were waiting for someone if they wanted to call them, but they said no."

Zhong Lei nodded.

Xiaocheng, the security guard, was very responsible. He used the walkie-talkie to announce: "There are three people beside the flower bed on the south side of the gate. They look a bit suspicious. Please pay attention when you are patrolling."

Ji Sumian went downstairs when it was almost nine o'clock. Zhong Lei received his WeChat message, got out of the car and walked downstairs, but saw that Ji Sumian had already come out of the building, and at the same time, the three people at the door quickly got up and walked towards him. Walking quickly, Zhong Lei thought it was too bad, this is to trouble him, he yelled at Xiao Cheng: "Xiao Cheng, come and help!"

Xiao Cheng was at the entrance of the parking lot, a little far away, and I don't know if he heard it, but the two patrolling security guards happened to come around from the side of the building, heard the sound and rushed in front of Ji Sumian, blocking the three people.

When the incident happened suddenly, Ji Sumian stood still, protected by Zhong Lei who rushed over.

Seeing this, the three of them took a step back, seemingly no longer intending to do anything.

"Such a big battle! Did you do something wrong?"

The security guard asked: "Everyone, what do you want to do with Mr. Ji?"

"It's okay, let's chat."

Ji Sumian collected himself: "Where are you sent from?"

"You know it yourself. When you cut off someone's fortune, have you thought about the consequences, kid?"

Zhong Lei didn't want to entangle with words here, so he took Ji Sumian's hand: "Xiao Cheng, call the police."

The three sneered: "Call the police? We didn't even touch the kid, so we need to call the police if we want to chat with him?"

"Isn't it worth calling the police for intimidation and threats?"

"No, no, no, we are all civilized people, we have something to say, we just remind Mr. Ji to think about the consequences."

Ji Sumian suddenly felt agitated, and he didn't know where the confidence came from. He took a step forward: "I haven't thought about my consequences, but I have thought about your consequences. If you dare to move here, I will have the police to deal with you. Go in. With my dad fixing you, I can accompany you to try any legal or illegal means! If you don’t believe me, go and ask if there is Ji Yifeng in the Provincial No. [-] Prison!”

The three of them froze for the moment, and the security guard asked, "Is there anything else for you?"

Before they had any reaction, Ji Sumian turned around and pulled Zhong Lei: "Brother Lei, let's go!"

Once in the car, Ji Sumian grabbed Zhong Lei's arm and said, "Brother Lei, I'm scared to death..."

"...I didn't think you were afraid when I spoke harshly!"

"If it weren't for all of you standing in front of me, I would definitely not be able to say a complete sentence!" Ji Sumian put his hand in his hand, Zhong Lei shook it, it was indeed a little wet and trembling.

Touching his forehead with his lips, stroking his back, Zhong Lei said, "It's true that I was scared to death. What if I start to fight?"

"They're just here to intimidate. If they really want to touch you, they'll do it long ago. They were sent to scare me. In fact, they have nothing to do with me. It's just to vent their anger. Now there are surveillance everywhere, and the social security is so good, nothing will happen. Yes."

Seeing that Zhong Lei was still worried, Ji Sumian continued: "And we have a lot of security guards. Today's incident will definitely be recorded in the log, and I will become their key protection object from tomorrow."

"Be careful, I'll wait for you in the lobby."

"Ah? No need, the girls at the front desk have to make fun of me for half a year..."

The source of this intimidation can be traced back to two months ago, when the construction of the main building of Xingyuan Resort started.

According to common sense, after the project starts, it will be handed over to the project department. Yan Mao deliberately wanted Ji Sumian to accumulate some project experience, so he created an assistant position for him that did not exist before, and learned from the project manager how to communicate with the construction party and Cooperate with engineering supervision.The project department was always a little too polite to the little assistant sent by the president's office, with a lukewarm attitude, neither far nor near, and took him with him to the construction site, but obviously there was no communication, Ji Sumian could only follow along at first, Later, I gradually asked some questions and got answers, but I always felt alienated by them.

He stayed at the construction site for lunch at noon that day. There was a puppy in the nearby villager’s house. It ran on the mountain all day and was not afraid of people. Sometimes Ji Sumian would play with it when he met it, and make a paper airplane for it to chase. Knowing whose family it belonged to, he called it "Xiaobai", and Xiaobai agreed, but after a few months, Xiaobai grew bigger and bigger, and his fur was no longer white, so Ji Sumian called it "Dahuang", Rhubarb also recognized the name, and would still come to play with him.

At noon that day, he left a few spare ribs for Rhubarb. Rhubarb was very happy, but he was a very polite dog. Instead of eating the bones first, he expressed his thanks to Ji Sumian and pounced on him wagging his tail.

Ji Sumian hid with a smile: "Oh, okay, okay, your hands are full of dirt, don't pick me up!" While hiding, he backed up and knocked over the chair, and the bags and documents on the chair were scattered all over the floor.

"Look what you did!" Ji Sumian said angrily.

Rhubarb was quite unconvinced and barked at the chair twice.

Ji Sumian smiled and packed his things, and found that it was the bag of one of the supervisory engineers. A few pieces of paper with anti-counterfeiting labels fell out of the bag. He only took a look, and quickly took out his mobile phone to take a few photos.He was nervous like never before. He felt that his psychological quality was not bad, but his hands were visibly shaking when taking pictures, and he didn’t know if he had taken a clear picture. The engineer is back at this point.

"I'll collect it, I'll collect it, don't bother."

"Oh." Ji Sumian stood up, put the phone in his pocket as if nothing had happened, and said jokingly, "Don't blame me, Rhubarb is running around here."

The engineer smiled and said nothing, Rhubarb who was gnawing on the bone raised his head, and said "Wow".

That night, Zhong Lei watched helplessly as he peeled a prawn, threw away the prawn meat, put the prawn shell into his mouth to chew, and quickly grabbed Ji Sumian's hand; "What are you thinking about?"

"Huh? Oh."

"What's wrong? I'm worried."

Ji Sumian put down his chopsticks: "Brother Lei, I had an incident at the construction site today, and I was called back to the company, but there was nothing urgent to go back. Brother Yan asked me if I knew any workers at the construction site, and said Some people complained that they delayed the construction period and things like that.”

"Complaint against you or against the workers?"

"It should be a misunderstanding, but... I saw something at the engineering supervisor." He took out his mobile phone to show Zhong Lei the photo, "These anti-counterfeiting labels are the same as the construction materials we entered the site. Our materials are all It was sent by a regular supplier. It stands to reason that the construction party and the supervisor have no possibility of touching these materials unless..."

Zhong Lei heard some clues: "Unless they have private cooperation."

"But it's strange where these stickers appear. If it's really collusion and fraud, why is it at the supervisor's place?"

"Have you told Secretary Yan about this?"

"No, I was called back in a hurry in the afternoon, and he left after saying a few words, going out with the boss."

"Then I think you should communicate with him first."

"Brother Lei, I'm not at ease, can you take me to Xingyuan?"

"Go to the construction site? Now?"

"Ok!"

"Oh, all right, then you eat quickly, I'll go and drive the car over first."

When there was still a distance from the construction site, Zhong Lei turned off the headlights and approached quietly, cautious as if he was about to investigate a case.

At ten o'clock in the evening, the construction site had been shut down. Before they drove to the door, they found that the place was still brightly lit, and two small trucks drove out in a row.Zhong Lei didn't continue to drive, turned off the ignition, and they hid themselves in the darkness.

"Brother Lei, are you delivering goods?"

"It's possible, tomorrow will be too late, you call Secretary Yan now."

"Brother Lei, I'm not sure. In case, I'm thinking too much. It's not good to make such a fuss."

"Then what if something really happened? It's not a trivial matter. You can't decide. Send him the photo first and let him judge."

While he was on the phone, Zhong Lei got out of the car and circled around. After two cars drove out when they came, the door was silent, but the door was not closed, and there was no sign of construction inside the construction site. Back in the car and asked: "Do you have permission for night construction or muck truck transportation?"

"No, the construction period is not tight, and there is no need for nighttime construction." Ji Sumian was waiting for a reply, his hand holding the phone was stiff, and his nails unconsciously picked the logo on the back of the phone case, looking nervous, "So now there is a car Getting in and out is really a problem."

Zhong Lei pressed his hand, and stroked the back of his hand lightly with his thumb: "Don't be nervous."

Ji Sumian seemed to have thought of something, grabbed his hand and asked, "Brother Lei, were you noticed when you went out just now? What if they rush out to beat us?"

Zhong Lei couldn't help laughing: "Why didn't you think of this possibility before you called me to the construction site?"

"I... I'm only getting scared now."

He was scared. When Yan Mao called, Ji Sumian trembled visibly.What he explained on the phone, he kept saying "um", "ok", and "understood", and then said to Zhong Lei, "They are rushing here and have already called the police. Let's not move until the police come. Make sure it's safe to go."

They sat in the dark car, waiting, fingers interlocked.

"Are you nervous?" Zhong Lei asked.

"Ah."

"Then, how can I not be nervous?"

Ji Sumian replied in a serious tone: "Anyway, I'm idle, I'm idle, the car shook."

"puff--"

Zhong Lei smiled to himself for a while, hugged his neck, and kissed him lightly and shallowly, but enough to soothe his restlessness.

No one realized how long it had passed, and the time seemed not to pass as regularly as usual, only to see cars arriving one after another, including private cars and police cars, with flashing lights, and there was a distance between the gate and their parking place, and they were far away. Watching from a distance, like watching a movie.In addition to these speeding cars, there are also clouds moving fast in the night sky, and the stars appear and disappear. They saw the gate open and close, and repeat it several times. .

Their worries and anxieties are also over.
