Chapter 334 Trapped in the Elevator!
The more favored one is still to come. After dinner, Huo Jianguo called Su Mei to go out for a walk, but Su Mei called him back into the house.
She took out all the clothes she bought and said to Huo Jianguo:
"I bought you a few sets of clothes. Come and try them on to see if they fit you well!"
"Wow, you bought me clothes?" Huo Jianguo walked to the bed and frowned when he saw several sets of clothes neatly stacked on the bed: "So many?"
"Not many, just three sets. You're going to work in a government agency, so you can't dress too shabby." As she spoke, Su Mei picked up a set and handed it to Huo Jianguo.
The clothes were bought according to Huo Jianguo's height, but when he wore them, they looked like they were tailor-made. He was a natural clothes hanger.
Clothes make the man, and saddles make the horse. Su Mei thinks Huo Jianguo looks best in military uniform.
But after changing into a suit, he looked handsome in a different way.
He looks tough and manly in military uniform, but the neat and straight suit makes him look more gentle.
After Huo Jianguo changed his clothes, Su Mei walked up to him and took off the watch on his wrist, which he had worn for many years and looked a little old.
Then he put his newly bought watch on Huo Jianguo.
Seeing the new watch, Huo Jianguo felt bad again: "Why did I buy a watch? The original one is good, I can wear it for another 20 years."
He was a frugal person, so when he suddenly saw Su Mei buying so many things for him, he couldn't help but feel that it was a bit extravagant.
"Open it and take a look." Su Mei said, pointing at the cover on the watch.
Although it hurt, Huo Jianguo still had to listen to Su Mei's instructions. He raised his right hand and opened the cover of his watch.
The next moment, Huo Jianguo saw Su Mei's photo, a small black and white photo in which Su Mei was smiling gracefully.
Huo Jianguo immediately swallowed down those words complaining about the waste of money.
"I like it very much," he said.
Su Mei asked him, "Do you like my photo or the watch?"
Huo Jianguo put down his hand, raised his head and looked at Su Mei: "I like you."
"Hehehe! Let's go. Didn't we say we were going for a walk?" Su Mei took Huo Jianguo's hand and walked outside.
But he was pulled back by Huo Jianguo just after taking a step. He hesitated: "Change into an old set of clothes?"
"Oh, let's go! You're an adult, why do you feel awkward wearing new clothes?" After Su Mei's repeated persuasion, Huo Jianguo dressed in new clothes and followed Su Mei out.
While taking a walk, Su Mei talked to Huo Jianguo about her plans for the next six months.
She would spend half a year to reorganize the institute, and she wanted to give the institute a complete makeover before the official document came down at the end of the year.
No matter how much she talks about nonsense with Huo Jianguo today, she will probably have to be busy tomorrow.
At this time, Huo Jianguo confessed to Su Mei how frustrated he had been in Yanjing for the first half of the year:
"I will have a job starting tomorrow, so I don't have to stay at home like a wife waiting for you to come back every day!
You don’t know how I spent the first half of the year. I lay in bed, sat in the yard, walked in the alleys, and it seemed like the sky never got dark.
It almost broke me down!
In the past, when I was busy in the army and was overwhelmed, my biggest wish was to take a break.
Have you ever thought about those days of sitting in the house every day and saying, I'm so bored, I'm so bored.
Well, this wish came true in the first half of the year, and it almost bored me to death."
"I'm dying of laughter. Your wish is unique enough." She held Huo Jianguo's hand apologetically, "Wow, I was really too busy and neglected you."
"How could that be? If you say so, then I couldn't take care of you when you were with the army." Huo Jianguo didn't think there was anything to feel guilty about. "I am very satisfied now. At least I can see you every day."
The two of them left the alley, walked around the streets outside, and only went home when it was getting dark.
When daybreak came, both of them woke up at about the same time.
They are people who can wake up directly in the morning without an alarm clock and rely on their biological alarm clock.
Because they both had to go to work and it was inconvenient to make breakfast, neither of them ate at home. Instead, they went out of the alley and went to a small canteen outside. Each of them bought a steamed bun and went their separate ways.
Since being designated as the dean of the Medical Research Institute, Su Mei has never been to the institute.
Today is the first time.
The Medical Research Institute is located in the suburbs of the western part of Yanjing.
It looked very ordinary in appearance, not as magnificent as Su Mei had imagined.
If there hadn't been four uniformed guards guarding the gate, Su Mei would have suspected that she had come to the wrong place.
After taking out her ID and letting the guard look at it, Su Mei successfully walked in.
The inside and outside are two completely different worlds, and the interior decoration is very grand.
The floor is paved with bright and clean marble, and the walls are inlaid with huge display cabinets displaying various scientific research results and the latest medical technologies.
Su Mei walked along the corridor and met many busy researchers and staff along the way.
Because it was working hours and there were many people coming and going, no one noticed Su Mei, the newcomer.
Before coming, Master told Su Mei that her office was on the top floor of the office building.
After entering the research institute, you have to go through the first floor, the first building, then the second building, and finally enter the office building.
As she was not familiar with the layout of the institute, Su Mei entered the first building and soon reached the end of the corridor after walking around.
She couldn't find the exit from the first building.
Su Mei stood there looking around, wanting to find someone to ask for directions, when she suddenly heard a voice coming from behind her.
"President Su, is that you? What are you doing here?"
Su Mei turned around and saw a middle-aged man in a white coat walking towards her with a smile.
"Who are you?" Su Mei asked doubtfully.
"My last name is Wang, and I'm engaged in fertilizer research and development. Although this is a medical research institute, we are fully equipped, and sometimes we use the laboratories here to do other research and development." Afraid that Su Mei didn't understand, the man explained why he was here. After he finished speaking, he asked, "Have you never been here before? I saw you looking around all the way here. Are you lost?"
Su Mei nodded awkwardly, thinking that the management here was quite chaotic. Someone who was doing fertilizer research ended up at a drug research base... Didn't they say that if you didn't pass the exam, you couldn't enter or leave here? It didn't seem to be the case.
"Come with me, I'll take you to the office building." said the middle-aged man enthusiastically.
"Well, that's great, thank you." After Su Mei finished speaking, she followed the man out of the first building, crossed a garden, and walked into the second building.
"This institute is quite large. You may not be familiar with it when you first arrive. In addition to the three office buildings, there are seven or eight more laboratories in the back, two cafeterias, a dormitory, a basketball court, a lounge, and a banquet hall...
I heard there are many facilities inside, but unfortunately we have special reasons to come in, so we are not allowed to walk around freely. But you have great authority, so you can learn more slowly." The man talked as he walked.
I can't walk around freely, and I know there are eight buildings, two cafeterias, a dormitory, a basketball court, a lounge, and a banquet hall... Su Mei secretly complained in her heart, but she could only say calmly:
"I'll find out. Thank you."
As they were talking, the two arrived at the entrance of the office building.
"The elevator is in front. Your office is on the top floor. You can go up by yourself. I'll go back." Wang Botu pointed ahead.
Is there an elevator? It's a bit advanced.
Su Mei felt like she hadn't seen an elevator for eight hundred years. She thanked the man, then walked towards the antique elevator from the late 1970s with some curiosity.
After standing at the door for a while, she finally figured out that the door of this elevator was not automatic, but had to be opened manually.
This one-way sliding elevator looked so old-fashioned that Su Mei had never seen one in modern times.
After entering the elevator, she reached out and closed the elevator door, which made a dull sound.
After seeing Su Mei enter the elevator and close the door, the middle-aged man adjusted the frame of his glasses before turning around and leaving.
The buttons in the elevator were simple, all protruding, and displayed the ten floors. Su Mei pressed 10... and then the elevator began to rise slowly.
However, just as the elevator was about to reach the top floor, there was a sudden violent vibration and the entire elevator began to shake.
Su Mei held tightly onto the inner wall of the elevator, feeling a strong sense of uneasiness in her heart.
She tried to press the emergency stop button, but the elevator seemed to be out of control and continued to accelerate upward.
Her heartbeat quickened, her vision went blurry, and she could only feel the elevator shaking more and more violently.
Just when she thought the elevator would break through the roof, there was suddenly another violent vibration and the elevator stopped suddenly.
Immediately afterwards, the elevator began to fall rapidly. Su Mei screamed, and was thrown to a corner of the elevator by the huge impact force.
She tried to grab the handrail, but her body still hit the elevator wall uncontrollably.
The falling process seemed to have no end, and Su Mei's ears were filled with the whistling sound of wind and the loud noise of metal colliding.
She felt as if she was in a disaster, helplessness and despair filled her heart.
Finally, the elevator stopped after the impact.
Su Mei felt as if her body was tightly restrained by something and she could not move.
She struggled to raise her head, only to see the elevator door closed and darkness all around.
She tried to press the emergency call button in the elevator, but found out that this button could not call the outside world, it could only make the alarm in the elevator sound.
I wonder if anyone can hear it!
