Chapter 18 Chapter 18 Everything was silent, Fang Shimian saw Xu...
Everything was quiet. Fang Shimian saw Xu Long raise his head and talk to him again. He nodded and shook his head numbly, then buried his head in biting the pineapple bun.
While eating, Fang Shimian suddenly felt nauseous and rushed to the toilet to vomit violently.
I vomited until I couldn't vomit anything, and my head was aching all the time, as if someone was cutting my nerves with a knife.
My hands were shaking uncontrollably, everything in front of my eyes turned white, and the whole world began to spin like a whirlpool.
Xu Long and the shop assistant were nearby. The shop assistant's face turned pale with fright and he quickly called the boss to report that something had happened to a customer in the store.
I don’t know how long it took, it seemed like just a moment, before the voice rang in my ears again. Xu Long anxiously supported him and shouted, and Fang Shimian finally pulled himself out of that chaotic emotion.
The explosions, the deformed car door, the stone stained with his blood, the man's pale face and the weak rise and fall of his chest, the sirens of the police and ambulance...
Just a stranger who died after a car accident and failed to be rescued.
At the moment when Fang Shimian's emotions were withdrawn, those memories seemed to be wrapped in a layer of fog and became hazy for no reason, like an unreal dream. All the details were blurred, as if they fell into the window of the bedroom on a rainy day.
"It's okay, I'm fine, I just suddenly feel a little nauseous, I'll be fine after vomiting." Fang Shimian paused for a few seconds after saying this, pressed the flush button, took the handkerchief handed to him by Xu Long to wipe his mouth, and seeing the hesitant looks of Xu Long and the clerk, he found an excuse.
"I get carsick. I took the bus for too long today. I might also have a cold, so I feel like vomiting. It's normal. Don't worry."
Xu Long felt that it was easy to be frightened to death when he was with Fang Shimian. He calmed down and said, "Your face was as white as a tile just now. I was scared to death. You were not hit, were you? Did the hospital check you?"
Fang Shimian nodded and comforted him, "It was filmed. I'm fine. Don't worry."
"You really are serious, kid." Xu Long waved his hand. He couldn't eat the pizza anymore, so he took Fang Shimian to wash his face and walked outside.
When I was leaving, I heard the clerk was on the phone again, crying with joy, "Boss, you don't have to come. Yes, you are saved. It's motion sickness. They have left. Yeah, you don't have to pay for it."
“…”
Xu Long was not full, so he went downstairs in the community to eat a bowl of wonton.
This store is very small, and most of the tables and chairs are placed outside. The prices are very cheap, and many people in the community like to come here to eat, so the business is also very good at night.
Fang Shimian had completely lost his desire to eat. It was as if his slow brain had just reacted at this moment and he realized that he had just experienced an extremely tragic car accident scene.
He opened the video software, and not knowing whether the conversation between him and Xu Long was monitored, the first video that appeared was the car accident on Yanshan Highway.
Fang Shimian quickly clicked pause, pressed and held the button, then clicked "not interested". The software immediately automatically played the next video and a small message popped up.
【The recommendations of such videos have been reduced. 】
Fang Shimian, however, stared blankly at a new piece of health science information that had just appeared.
Xu Long finished his meal in two bites, swept the paper towel on the table into the trash can, stood up, scanned the code and paid, "Let's go, go back to bed early, we have to go to work tomorrow."
Fang Shimian quickly put away his phone and nodded.
After Xu Long parked his motorcycle, he looked around and turned back to ask Fang Shimian, "Where's your little green?"
"I just fell down, so I rode to the electric bike seller to check it out. He said there were some minor problems with the steering and the display screen, and the parts will be fixed tomorrow."
Xu Long subconsciously raised his voice, "The car also crashed? You are responsible for this yourself. Did you eat his rice or steal his vegetables? You are such a kind-hearted kid."
"He... gave me money, a lot." Fang Shimian didn't know how to explain it. He just felt his head starting to ache again.
Xu Long thought of Fang Shimian's past that he was always reluctant to reveal, and guessed that it might be the rich person who helped Fang Shimian when he was a child, so the words that were not said finally turned into a short sigh.
Forget it, it’s all small matters.
It is a good thing to be brave and righteous. Although Xu Long does not advocate it in today's society devoured by desire, he still praised him and said, "It is a good thing anyway. Be happy. I will treat you to lunch tomorrow instead of eating in the cafeteria."
Fang Shimian hung his head and said nothing.
Xu Long knew that Fang Shimian believed in those ghosts and gods, so he took out the ultimate magic weapon, "Saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda." Looking at Fang Shimian's eyes that suddenly raised, he continued: "Don't they always say that good people will be rewarded? You will definitely be smooth in the future, trust me."
Fang Shimian nodded, his headache didn't seem to hurt anymore, and he looked at Xu Long very seriously, "Brother, you are right."
After returning to the rental house, Fang Shimian was still thinking about Xu Long's words.
He saved a life, but he didn't save it. Can he still get merit? Fang Shimian fell on the bed, looking at the bedroom window, thinking a lot of random thoughts. Those pictures kept emerging, jumping around illogically. Sometimes it was the flowers he saw in his childhood, sometimes it was the future he imagined, and then there was the charred stone wall and the dark liquid that kept flowing out of the cab.
Finally, the silent fire was dyed red.
When the alarm rings, everything sinks again. Memories are like photos covered with thick dust, hiding all the excitement and sharpness until the moment life fades away.
In mid-November, Fang Shimian and Xu Long took a day off and switched to the night shift.
Xu Long put his legs on the operating table and was carried down by Fang Shimian who had just returned from the toilet. He was browsing his phone and exclaimed in surprise, "Jiangzhou Group has declared bankruptcy."
"Yunjin is from Jiangzhou, isn't it?" Fang Shimian took some instant noodles and ate them. "The company went bankrupt. Do we have to find new jobs?"
Xu Long looked at him like a fool. "What does the bankruptcy of the real estate company have to do with our property company? Qihe is not a subsidiary of Jiangzhou. It is our business if a big explosion happens in Yunjin."
Fang Shimian nodded, not quite understanding, "If there is an explosion we will be fired."
"No." Xu Long was playing with his phone without even raising his eyelids. "We will go to the police station."
"Oh, then I won't let Yunjin explode." Fang Shimian ate instant noodles and asked, "But what if we are not on duty on the day of the explosion?"
"Ma Liang and the others are in jail." Xu Long frowned. "I'm afraid Jiangzhou is being investigated for tax evasion. Why are so many people arrested? This is a marketing account. They don't even explain clearly."
Xu Long pondered for a while and said, "It may still have some impact. If Jiangzhou is acquired, the real estate inspection may change the people and rules. But it should be okay. Checking the surveillance is just a formality. At most, some money will be deducted."
Real estate companies come to inspect the Yunjin monitoring room every month, but they usually retrieve the duty videos from the order and customer service posts, and no points will be deducted unless there are major mistakes.
As for the video in the monitoring room, the senior management of the property company can view it directly through the software 24 hours a day, but they basically will not check it. If they are caught off duty, they will be notified and their money will be deducted.
The last time Xu Long was fined 200 yuan was because of this. The supervision on playing with mobile phones was not strict enough.
The money deducted from the monitoring room is basically due to the quality department of the property company coming to inspect. They randomly select a time period to check, and whoever is found to be unlucky will be in trouble.
A few days later, the news that a senior government official in Hai City was imprisoned caused quite a stir on the Internet because the amount of embezzlement and bribery was huge and the person was arrested at the airport, which aroused a wave of public opinion.
Someone in the comments associated the recent bankruptcy and liquidation of Jiangzhou with the major accident, the Yanshan car accident. However, he was ridiculed as soon as he posted it, saying that he had a very big imagination and could connect everything together.
Xu Long told Fang Shimian all this as gossip. Fang Shimian didn't make any associations with it, but he just felt strange. Isn't Huo Zhongshan the most important figure in Hengshi?
How come there wasn't even a hint of news after his death? With so many things happening these days, the Huo family was able to remain completely invisible.
During the half month of working the night shift, Fang Shimian would sometimes go to the Zhao family to accompany Zhao Shun and Zhao You after getting enough sleep.
He no longer drew drafts to sell for money, and occasionally when he drew something that he found interesting, he would just throw it into the draft box in the monitoring room.
Zhu Ze seemed to have become busier recently. Once he made an appointment with Fang Shimian for dinner, but had to postpone the date because of something else. Fang Shimian expressed his understanding and politely asked about Zhu Ze's health.
After hanging up the phone, she happily went to Xu Long's room to cook instant noodles.
During this period, Zhu Ze also asked Fang Shimian if he wanted to live with him. Fang Shimian was shocked across the screen and took a long time to organize his words to politely refuse.
Zhu Ze didn't seem very happy.
When it was time to switch to the day shift in December, Fang Shimian checked online and found out that a kitten's pregnancy usually only lasts for more than two months. The white cat would probably give birth in the next two days. He asked Ma Liang to help him feed the cat if he saw it in the evening.
During the day when Fang Shimian was at work, he would let Xu Long watch for a while longer, and he would stroll around the community looking for cats.
"Hengshi actually acquired Jiangzhou." Xu Long clicked his tongue twice, "Incredible, they are indeed in the medical sector, very wealthy."
Fang Shimian was being fed jelly by the sister in the customer service department. Hearing this, he looked at Xu Long and asked, "So will the people who come to inspect the property in the future be from Hengshi?"
Xu Long was not sure about this either, and hesitated, "Who knows? The changes in these small departments are relatively small. Most of them are still the same people, but the names have changed."
When Fang Shimian was on day shift, more and more people came to the monitoring room.
The brothers and sisters in the customer service department and the order department all took special care of him. They liked to bring snacks for Fang Shimian and then tease him to call for help.
But Fang Shimyeon's most famous incident happened during the day shift last month. One night, a drunk owner dropped his cell phone and wallet in a taxi.
He went downstairs to check the surveillance footage to see the license plate, but was embarrassed by the extremely gentle Fang Shimian. He checked the surveillance footage for most of the day and finally asked to add him on WeChat, and asked Fang Shimian openly if he had a boyfriend.
When Fang Shimian was hesitating and feeling embarrassed, Xu Long suddenly walked out, and his face turned pale with fright. They thought that there had been a third person present in their sweet world of two people.
That day, Xu Long was complained by the owner for sleeping during work hours and was fined two hundred dollars.
Amid Xu Long's angry curses, the news that there was a handsome guy in the Yunjin No. 1 monitoring room spread quickly. The property company already managed many residential areas, and after hearing the news, some managers from other areas even wanted to transfer Fang Shimian to the company to work in an image position.
However, Xu Long held back all these suggestions and rejected them all. The image post sounds good, but not only does it require standing the whole time, but also requiring serving others, which is not a good place at all.
From then on, Fang Shimian was basically unable to escape any formal activities of Yunjin No. 1 Property that required filming videos showing his face. Sometimes he was even pulled by the Order Department to shoot promotional videos. Everyone agreed that Fang looked very cool in the order uniform.
Fang Shimen refused repeatedly but to no avail, and finally retreated under the enthusiastic offensive of his colleagues and was forced to join those activities that he was quite resistant to.
The only thing to be thankful for is that Yunjin Property's video account is poorly operated. The company is reluctant to buy traffic, and the few fans are all the company's own people and bots who only know how to like posts. There are basically no people talking in the comment section, and the number of views is also small, which greatly reduced Fang Shimian's embarrassment and discomfort.
Xu Long would still screen out a lot of unnecessary filming for Fang Shimian. If Fang Shimian had to go, Xu Long would directly call the manager and ask them to give Fang Shimian more money, so Fang Shimian could still stay in the monitoring room most of the time.
On this day, Fang Shimian went to the toilet and did not go back to the monitoring room directly. Instead, he was strolling around the community looking for a cat. As a result, he was hurriedly taken to the manager's office of the property center by the brother at the order post.
Manager Yang was drinking tea with someone in the office. When he saw Fang Shimian being brought over, he quickly led him into the office and introduced him to the other people drinking tea, "This is Fang Shimian. He's young, but works very hard. We all like him."
There was also a district manager who seldom showed up in the office. After hearing Manager Yang's introduction, he glanced at Fang Shimian inconspicuously, and echoed a few words with a smile on his face.
Everyone stood up at the same time.
Among those kind unfamiliar faces, Fang Shimian saw an unexpected person.
Ming Ke.
