Chapter 102 Do You Need a Roommate?
It's extremely hot today, and the asphalt floor is almost melted by the sun. It's really hard to adapt to the high temperature outside when you always stay in a place with a pleasant climate like the manor.
Whether it is a car or an outdoor air conditioner, a large amount of heat is emitted to the outside, making the outdoor temperature even more unbearably hot.
The temperature under the car is even higher, with the surface temperature reaching sixty or seventy degrees.
The Three-Eyed Man is an intelligent creature that lives in a cold climate. Their bones can only maintain sufficient hardness at low temperatures.
But now, his bones have heated up and his whole body has almost turned into a ball of mud.
If it weren't for the leather armor on the outside, he could hardly maintain his physical movements.
After nearly an hour on the road, the captain was already in a dazed state. With his tenacious will to survive, he stuck the leather armor tightly under the car, preventing him from falling halfway and being crushed to death by the "killing machine" behind him. .
As soon as the car stopped, he finally couldn't hold on anymore and wriggled out from under the car and got into the green belt next to it.
…
In a rental house on the fifteenth floor of the community, Cao Xiqing shook the bottle and slowly stood up.
Nine times out of ten, life will be unsatisfactory, but within one day, all the unsatisfactory things will come, and there will be no one left.
As an engineering dog, after graduation, I worked hard to find a job in the industry. More than a year ago, I finally switched to a relatively good company in Xucheng, Xucheng Tunnel Construction.
Then the first project we followed was the Huanshan Tunnel project, which Xucheng officials were very concerned about.
For a grassroots engineer with no background, this kind of start is simply a dream. All Cao Xiqing can do is work hard, accumulate experience and qualifications, and improve himself.
After the tunnel is completed, a promotion and salary increase, or a completion bonus, may help him gain a foothold in this city more easily.
Cao Xiqing spent a whole year working on this project. He had food and accommodation at the construction site. Sometimes he couldn't return to the rental house once a week.
At this moment, a tunnel collapse accident plunged the entire Xucheng tunnel construction into a huge crisis.
The company went bankrupt and was merged, and the company is about to lay off a large number of employees. Yesterday, the company's legal staff even told them that they may be investigated for malfeasance, and anyone who signed the non-compliant documents may face huge fines or even jail time. disaster.
Cao Xiqing simply couldn't imagine what his parents, who had worked so hard to send him to college, would think if he was fined a huge amount or sent to jail. They would be unable to hold their heads up under the pointing fingers of the villagers for the rest of their lives!
If this is already bad luck, then the text message sent by my girlfriend who was still in graduate school an hour ago to break up may be the last straw that breaks the camel's back.
Cao Xiqing lived frugally and sent money home to support her graduate school studies. He originally planned to get married after she graduated from graduate school.
But now, I don’t even want to make a phone call to break up.
At this point, what's the point of living?
Why live any longer? Survival is just a drag.
It was just a vague idea at first, but Cao Xiqing could still maintain the basic sanity of an engineering dog.
But after drinking a few bottles of wine, I looked at the breakup text message, and the more I read it, the sadder I became.
Then think about what kind of life your parents will face if they are really fined or even imprisoned.
The more I think about it, the less interesting it becomes. Forget it, just die.
Cao Xiqing dropped the bottle, stood up unsteadily, walked to the window, and opened it.
Why are there wire safety nets on the windows?
Fortunately, I am an engineering dog, so this kind of thing cannot be difficult for me.
Cao Xiqing took out the key, used the tool hanging on the key to remove the safety net and threw it aside, and then stepped up.
There was a "wow" sound, and the wind blew past my ears.
The wind is so strong.
This feeling of falling reminds me of riding a roller coaster with her...
"Bang!"
…
In the green belt, the captain was gasping for air.
It's great to escape death!
The surrounding bushes shielded him from the high temperature. He felt that his bones were gradually resetting and his strength was slowly returning.
After finally regaining his composure, he raised his head and looked in the direction Zhuang Buyuan left.
He could see the light of kindness on Zhuang Buyuan's body moving rapidly upwards with the elevator, stopping at the 15th floor. At the same time, a person opened the window and jumped out.
Suddenly, the captain thought of the legendary history of blood and tears of the three-eyed people.
According to old legends, the truly cruel manor owner always put on a hypocritical face and took pleasure in torturing and persecuting his servants and civilians.
Every time when the year was approaching and the minions of the manor owners came to collect debts, many of his ancestors chose to commit suicide to end their endless suffering.
The problem is that people with three pupils have relatively strong vitality, so it is not easy to commit suicide.
His ancestors would often hug ice cubes, freeze themselves hard, and then jump down from a high place.
With a "wow" sound, it turned into ice cubes all over the ground. This was a neat and painless way to die.
Sure enough, this was a cruel manor owner. Before he arrived, some people were so scared that they were about to jump off the building.
Now, he has been thrown into the cruel paradise of the manor owners, and he is afraid that he will never be able to go back. Once the manor owners discover his existence, they will follow the clues and catch his teammates...
He simply couldn't imagine that all his teammates were tied under the car and ground to a pulp.
In his eyes, a strange light flashed crazily: "It's dangerous here, run! Run!"
This is such a dangerous world!
Definitely don't come!
After he finished sending the signal, he suddenly felt something was wrong.
Overhead, a shadow was falling quickly.
"Bang!" With a sound, a huge force hit him, almost squeezing out his internal organs.
Wow, this is such a dangerous world!
Zhuang Buyuan opened the door and called out to Lao Cao twice, but Cao Xiqing did not respond.
When he walked to Cao Xiqing's room, he saw that the window was open and the safety net was removed. Zhuang Buyuan was startled and hurriedly lay down by the window.
On the ground, I saw Cao Xiqing walking out of the green belt, shaking his head.
When Cao Xiqing slowly walked upstairs, Zhuang Buyuan quickly grabbed him and said, "Old Cao, you won't jump off the building, right?"
"I feel like I jumped, but I didn't seem to jump..." Cao Xiqing touched himself, "Maybe I just couldn't think about it, so I went down and walked around..."
He remembered that he jumped, but now he was unscathed, only his head was dizzy. If he jumped from the building, would he still be alive?
"No way, you want to jump off the building so hard? What happened? Tell me."
After hearing what Cao Xiqing said, Zhuang Buyuan comforted him and said:
"Don't worry, you will be fine. Even if we are laid off, we won't lay off you."
"how do you know?"
how could I know? Zhuang Buyuan didn't know how to explain it.
Should you tell him that I am your future boss?
After trying to calm down Cao Xiqing, Zhuang Buyuan went back.
"I probably won't come back to live in the near future. You can sublet my room to your friend." Zhuang Buyuan packed his things. In fact, he didn't have anything, just a few clothes.
Cao Xiqing responded with a dull yes.
In the middle of the night, Cao Xiqing woke up in a daze and suddenly heard a sound on the window. A figure was lying on the window, looking in.
A weird voice came: "Are you in need of a roommate? I happen to be in need of a place to live."
As he said that, the other party was still pressed against the glass, showing a crumpled smiling face.
