Chapter 48 Chapter 48 Xu Sui rushed to the elevator...
Xu Sui rushed to the elevator in a hurry, but the information next to him showed that the elevator was still on the first floor, and after Xu Sui pressed the up button, it climbed up at an extremely slow speed.
Stop for a while every now and then.
Xu Sui was a little anxious. He walked to the side and looked at the staircase. He thought about which one would get him to the first floor faster. He looked down at his phone screen and it was already 8:37.
Xu Sui was already prepared to be late today when he heard someone approaching from behind. The voice said calmly, "I don't think public transportation can get you to work on time at nine o'clock."
The voice was hoarse with morning fatigue.
Xu Sui's back stiffened. He felt a little unhappy and a little uncomfortable because he was seen by him. He raised his eyes and asked, "Who said I go to work at nine o'clock?"
Now she got a closer look at him. He was wearing a white T-shirt of some unknown brand with three black stripes on the sleeves. He looked like a man of eighteen or nineteen. A faint smile played on his lips as he stared at her, as if to say, "Keep going. Let's see what else comes out of your mouth."
That’s right, which decent company doesn’t start work at 9 o’clock?
Xu Sui suddenly didn't know what to say.
Xu Sui was just about to speak when the elevator arrived. She got in quickly, thinking that she could avoid contact, and then she closed her eyes to take a breath. When she opened her eyes again, she saw Song Shiyang standing there, and the elevator door slowly closed behind him.
Seeing Xu Sui's confusion, Song Shiyang spoke quickly: "I don't have anything to do today. We are old classmates, so I'll take you there."
When he said this, Xu Sui was surprised that he would actually say the word "old classmate". After all, it had been so many years since they graduated, and she had only been his classmate for a short and quick time in her freshman year of high school.
It is inevitable that you will feel unfamiliar when you mention the names of classmates you haven't contacted for a year, let alone seven years of no contact and only two years of brief contact in high school.
This time the elevator went down very quickly, much slower than when it went up. As soon as Song Shiyang finished speaking, they arrived at the first floor.
The two of them followed the crowd out. Xu Sui lowered his head and looked at the time again. He was forty years old.
Thinking about this month's bonus, she bit her lip and said quickly: "Okay, thanks, where is your car?"
Xu Sui's agility surprised Song Shiyang. He raised his eyebrows slightly and tilted his chin in a certain direction. Xu Sui turned his head and saw that the car she had hit a few days ago was parked in a parking space not far away.
Seeing this, she paused for a moment, looking elsewhere as if nothing had happened. Song Shiyang glanced at her, lowered his head to look at the watch on his wrist, and whispered: "You are forty-one, if you don't leave..."
He paused, then continued, "Even if we drive at 120 mph, we probably won't be able to catch up."
He stood in front of her, with a glint in his eyes. Xu Sui was in a trance for a moment and almost thought she had returned to that summer, but the urgency of time made her come back to her senses quickly.
She was about to sit in the back seat, but Song Shiyang was standing at the door on the other side of the driver's seat. He looked at her movements and suddenly said, "I don't know where you work."
Xu Sui's hand just touched the car door and stopped. He thought for a second, opened the passenger door and got in. Song Shiyang also bent down and got in.
"Route." He asked Xu Sui while lowering his head to fasten his seat belt.
Xu Sui quickly explained the route from here to Haidian. It wasn't far from there, and the main reason for the long commute was that he couldn't get on the subway.
The man next to him nodded, and the silver Lotus began to gradually accelerate after driving onto the main road, but it was very stable and not bumpy at all. The two did not speak along the way. Xu Sui held his breath, tilted his head slightly and nodded, looking at the people around him.
His facial features haven't changed much compared to before, except that they're deeper and tougher, revealing a bit of calmness, which is the result of time.
The lines of his profile were smooth, his eyebrows were picturesque, and his jawline was clear. After looking at him for a while, she sat up straight and looked ahead. Looking at him now, she no longer felt the heart pounding like she did when she was young.
There is still some progress, Xu Sui thought to himself.
Probably, I don’t like it anymore.
Arriving downstairs at the TV station at 8:57, Xu Sui picked up his bag, opened the door, and got out of the car, saying, "Thanks. Let's have dinner together sometime."
She had originally just said it out of politeness, because she felt he would definitely not agree, but she heard him say: "Okay."
At that moment, she thought she had heard wrong. Song Shiyang looked at the girl's surprised eyes, tilted his head slightly and asked: "What's wrong?" The morning sunlight just happened to shine on him through the glass, making him look hazy and dreamy, with red lips and white teeth, and a hint of ruffian air.
Xu Sui endured it and turned his eyes away.
"No, nothing. Hey, I'm going to be late. I'll go first." Xu Sui didn't have time to continue talking to Song Shiyang. She tugged at her bag and hurried inside.
Every time Xu Sui quickly checked the time, she felt the greatness of one minute. Sixty seconds seemed so long. Two sixty seconds were enough for her to take the elevator upstairs and quickly punch in.
She wiped the sweat from her forehead, leaned against the white wall and breathed lightly. She decided in her heart that she would set ten alarms, one every five minutes, so that even the deepest sleep would be woken up.
"Hey, Sister Sui, who was that just now? Is he your boyfriend?" The person who had just checked in with Xu Sui came over. When Xu Sui got off the bus, she was just a little ahead of Xu Sui and even pressed the elevator button for Xu Sui and waited for her.
Hearing this, Xu Sui's eyes darkened and he forced a smile: "No, just an ordinary friend."
"Is that so? Sister Sui, your friend is quite rich. That's a luxury car. One of his models is worth tens of millions." The young girl looked at him with envy and her tone was full of envy.
In Hai City, an international metropolis, everyone dreams of getting rich overnight. They can become rich overnight through stocks, academic qualifications, and various other means.
Xu Sui looked at the iconic buildings of Hai City not far away through the bright glass wall. He almost forgot about it as he could hear the sounds of his colleagues typing on keyboards and stirring coffee.
Jiang Changjia's voice from that year seemed to ring in my ears again: "His grandparents were officials, his grandparents were teachers, and before retirement, they were professors at a 985 university in Shanghai and engaged in academic research..."
"What luxury car?" Shi Miao came out of the tea room and heard them talking, so he came over and asked.
Xu Sui came back to his senses, glanced at his colleague, and continued, "She's mistaken. She thinks Volkswagen is some luxury car."
Shi Miao narrowed his eyes and smiled: "Xiao Yang, you can even make a mistake, is it true or not?"
Xu Sui quickly grabbed the person who was about to speak and said in a low voice: "The editor-in-chief and the director are watching, let's go." She pointed to an independent office not far away. No one could see what was going on inside from the outside, but people from inside could clearly see what was happening outside.
The two of them were immediately silenced by Xu Sui's coaxing and tiptoed back to their workstations.
Xu Sui breathed a sigh of relief. She hadn't expected someone to see it in just a few seconds. Besides, didn't she remember the license plate being on the front? How could she tell what the brand was from the side?
Xu Sui didn't understand. He thought about it, shook his head and returned to his workstation. He had to go out for an interview tomorrow and visit the orphanage in a few days. Xu Sui had a lot of things to do.
**
F University, a laboratory in the Medical School.
Song Shiyang was wearing a white lab coat and doing full-body disinfection. His doctoral supervisor from the medical school, who was in his sixties, led him into the inner room. There were people inside from the beginning, and they all turned their heads to look when they saw them come in.
He called out, "Vice President."
"tutor."
"Mentor."
"Teacher Zhang."
…
Although the sixty-year-old man had a slightly hunched back, he was still full of energy and spirit. He briefly introduced the people around him to them: "Song Shiyang, a rising star in the EB field, is studying at a prestigious overseas medical school. Today I'm bringing him to visit our laboratory. You can do your own experiments and don't need to worry about us."
Song Shiyang nodded to several people as a greeting.
Five or six people looked at the man opposite them, who was dressed in a noble manner. Even though they could only see his eyebrows and eyes, they could vaguely glimpse his features. They nodded to show their greetings and turned around to continue busying themselves with their own things.
Song Shiyang swept his eyes over this medium-sized place. There were all kinds of medical instruments, which were relatively complete. Because his grandfather had some friendship with Vice President Zhang, he came here today to take a look and learn and communicate.
Although F University is not the best in the field of medicine, it is still well-known.
They have been doing research on EB, and F University is considered to be relatively authoritative in this regard.
