Volume 1 Beginning of Summer Chapter 12 Dozing
After watching Liang's father and mother walk into the ticket gate, Jiang You took out an envelope from his pocket and handed it to Tang Butian, "After catching the murderer, include this in the subsidy."
"You don't want it?"
"I don't make money from the dead. I just rounded up the amount and they returned it all to me."
Tang Butian reached out to take the envelope. She opened the small package and stuffed the envelope in. "Are you confident that you can catch the murderer?"
"I don't, but I have confidence in you, Officer Tang." Jiang You turned around and walked towards the exit of the waiting room.
"Why?"
“I believe in the country.”
"Yeah ?"
"Yes, there are special departments and regulations to follow," Jiang You turned his head and glanced at Tang Butian, "and there are executors who are serious and responsible."
Tang Butian lowered her head, "I, I thought you..."
"Actually, I am quite enthusiastic as well. As a law-abiding citizen, if I see any clues, I will report them to you in a timely manner, Tang..."
"Just call me by my name."
Jiang You called out her name: "Tang Butian."
They walked out of the waiting hall.
The night breeze was cool, blowing the hem of Tang Butian's skirt.
"Are you going back alone?" Jiang You asked.
Tang Butian nodded slightly.
"Then I'll go." He waved to Tang Butian, and followed the instructions on the sign in front of him and walked towards the taxi waiting area.
Tang Butian watched him kick off his slippers, his slightly plump figure swayed into the crowd, and then disappeared.
——
At 6:30 p.m. on June 8, Jiang You arrived at the April Hotel.
He changed into a pair of black running shoes, put on a light yellow T-shirt and washed jeans, and carried a gray-brown shoulder bag across his body.
There was a sign in the hotel lobby with the address of the conference and a direction sign. Jiang You followed the direction sign and walked into a corridor. After walking about 30 meters, he saw a second sign with the same direction sign in front of a side door. He saw a waitress standing not far away, so he walked over.
He asked, "Beautiful lady, where is the nearest toilet?"
The waitress pointed to the side door and said, "Go out from here and turn right and you will see it. It is right next to the venue in front."
"Thanks."
After flushing the toilet, Jiang You stood at the door of the toilet for a while. Not far in front was a small green area with a small fountain in the middle and benches around it.
After seeing someone walk into the venue, Jiang You followed in. Someone was checking tickets at the door, and Jiang You opened his bag and found the ticket after searching a few times.
After checking his ticket, he received a blue wristband, which he used to enter and exit. The wristband had a string of digital codes on it, which served as a voucher for the lottery.
He put the bracelet on his right wrist.
After entering and passing through a corridor, you will enter the venue of the press conference.
The venue is decorated with a sense of technology.
The first row of seats is reserved for executives of Rake and its partner companies, and those sitting in the back are basically employees of various related Internet companies.
Jiang You's outfit blends in perfectly with the crowd.
He found his seat. There was a bottle of mineral water on the chair. He picked up the bottle and sat down.
People came in one after another.
It was almost seven o'clock when the executives walked into the hall. They sat down with smiles on their faces and greeted each other.
The lights dimmed.
Liu Yong, CEO of Rake Company, walked onto the stage.
After he stood still, a beam of light fell on him.
He was about forty years old, not tall, and in good shape. He wore a dark blue silk shirt with dark grey suit pants. He had an elegant temperament, but his nasolabial folds were a little deep and his bags under his eyes were obvious.
Jiang You unscrewed the bottle of mineral water and took a sip.
A line of big words appeared on the screen behind Liu Yong: Life begins to bloom bit by bit.
Jiang You put down the water bottle and leaned back against the chair.
The air conditioning in the venue was very cold, so he covered his stomach with the bag.
"Hello everyone, everyone who comes here today..." Liu Yong began his speech.
Jiang You listened hard; the head of the person in front of him and the light on the screen became blurred together.
His head gradually drooped to one side.
In the darkness, long black hair fell on his face in strands.
itch.
He tried to raise his hands to grab it, but found that he could not lift his hands and his body could not move.
Imprisoned.
His hair covered his face.
The air becomes thinner.
The hair began to move, trying to get into his mouth, and he pursed his lips tightly.
Ears, eyes , nostrils... hair got in.
He opened his eyes and sat up suddenly.
“This is an innovation that will break people’s perception of life…”
Liu Yong's voice came into his ears.
He breathed a sigh of relief.
He felt someone touching him. He turned his head and the person sitting next to him withdrew his hand and said in a low voice, "You were snoring just now, so I slapped you to wake you up."
Jiang You showed an embarrassed look on his face, and he said, "Sorry, sorry."
Then he looked around, stood up, bent over and walked out from the gap between the seats. He walked out of the venue and into the toilet. He took off his glasses and splashed cold water on his face.
"Jiang You?"
An uncertain voice came from behind him.
Jiang You raised his head and saw a man in a plaid shirt standing behind him in the mirror.
He put on his glasses, "Yuan Shu?"
"Jiang You, it's really you," Yuan Shu walked up to Jiang You and patted him on the shoulder. "It's been a long time since we last met. How come you've gained so much weight? I can't recognize you!"
Jiang You touched his belly and said, "It's been six years, right?"
"I haven't seen you since you dropped out of school in your junior year. The brothers all thought you were..." Yuan Shu noticed Jiang You's evasive look and changed the subject, "Why are you listening to this? Are you still typing code now?"
"No, I gave them all back to the teacher. I saw someone transferring tickets on WeChat Moments, and I thought it would be a showroom where I could try out everything, so I took it. But it turned out to be just like the classes I had before," Jiang You wiped the water off his face with the back of his hand. "I just fell asleep and snored, and was woken up by the person next to me. It was so embarrassing."
"You slept in class every day and stayed up all night," Yuan Shu smiled. "It's just the concept stage now. It will take at least a few months for the product to come out."
"How do you know so much?"
Yuan Shu's face darkened. "I work at Xiaozha Company, and I do the same thing."
"Xiao Zha? The one who had an employee jump off the building before?"
"Yeah, I'm in that project team," he sighed, "What are you doing now?"
"I'm running a small business on Wenhua Street," Jiang You tapped his waist, "I've been working on the yard these days. During the day, I finally installed the shelves with the carpenter. It was so tiring. Come and sit down with me when everything is done."
"Okay, give me the address."
"Add WeChat and I'll send it to you."
After adding each other on WeChat, someone walked into the bathroom.
"Let's not stand here, let's go for a walk outside?" Jiang You pointed to the green area not far from the toilet.
"Okay, inside, I can't listen anymore."
