Chapter 3

"What's wrong? This is?" Xiao Heipi muttered.

"It seems something is wrong..." Before Qi Chen finished speaking, Xiao Hei was dragged over to him.

They stood behind the crowd and looked inward, and saw a private car parked on the side of the road. The owner had already got off the car. He was standing in front of the car and was a little angry and helpless and said to a middle-aged woman, "Did you say you don't look at the traffic lights when you cross the road? The zebra crossings are all drawn and played with?! I just jumped straight into the middle of the road. Fortunately, I didn't have a heart attack, otherwise you would be unlucky or I would be unlucky if you said you would hit you seriously? And you really have no problem standing with your legs? Just rubbing your skin? No problem, I'll leave..."

"No...I didn't mean it, I...I don't know how I could walk into the middle of the road." The woman was obviously frightened, and she clutched her shoulder bag with her hands tightly, explaining incoherently.

The side of her tweed coat was scratched, the lower collar and legs of the knitted coat were stained with dust, and the socks on her knees were still scratched, but she didn't care about these things, and she kept repeating these sentences in panic and silence.

A young girl helped her and pulled her to the side of the road, saying, "Sister, do you have a phone number in your family? Contact them to pick you up?"

"Me, my family? Yes! I'm here to have a meal, I just came down to buy something, I didn't think about crossing the road... I felt a little dizzy, and then someone called my name, and then... Then it seemed that someone was pulling me away. When I reacted, I was already rubbed." The woman was still explaining.

Her face was a little scary. When the young girl reminded her, she hurriedly lowered her head and flipped her bag. When she took out her phone from it, her hands were still shaking. Then, she didn't grab it firmly, and the phone fell to the ground again.

"Hey--you..." After hearing her explanation, the car owner looked at her with a strange expression, as if he felt that she was not very mentally healthy. Then he picked up his phone and handed it to her, shook his head and said, "I have something urgent to do. Are you sure your legs are fine? Okay, I'll leave first, don't stand on the side of this road, find your family to pick you up." After that, he drove away.

As soon as the owner left, a man who seemed to be a woman's husband rushed over. After crossing the road, he headed straight here, walked through the crowd to the woman, holding her bag while holding her, nodding at the girl who had been supporting the woman, "I'm going to do it, I'll do it."

"Eh?" The girl was a little surprised, "I haven't called yet..."

"We are actually having dinner on the second floor of the restaurant." The man turned around and pointed to a second floor restaurant across the road. "She told me that she went to the supermarket next to buy something. I went to the bathroom. Seeing that she hadn't come back yet, she looked down from the window. As a result, she saw that the surrounding area was here, so I hurried down."

When the woman saw her husband coming, she immediately grabbed the man's sleeve in panic, looking like she was about to cry: "I, I'm like this again, what should I do? She called me again, that voice again! I really didn't walk over by myself! What should I do, what should Ah Ming do..."

"It's okay, just go back and have a good sleep. You must be tired after being busy with the museum these two days." The man patted her and comforted her for a few words, and then said to the girl: "Thank you, I'll take her back now."

...

When Qi Chen and Xiao Heipi saw that there was nothing to help, they turned around and left for dinner.

"Hey, by the way." When Qi Chen arrived at the Food City, he suddenly remembered something and patted Xiao Heipi and said, "What did you tell me before?"

Xiao Heipi looked confused: "Who was before?"

Qi Chen: "It was just before hearing the screams, what did you ask me? I was distracted and couldn't hear it clearly."

Xiao Heipi glanced at Qi Chen and said innocently: "I can't even remember what I'm going to say after a break."

Qi Chen: "..."Are you a goldfish?!

So what I encountered at noon became an inconspicuous little episode and soon faded out, and no one cared about it.

I thought I would be living in the same room with the team leader Long with a bad temper in the afternoon, but when I arrived at the office, Qi Chen did not see him. The desk behind was still empty, only the computer waiting for the phone and the empty coffee cup indicate that the owner had come back before.

Qi Chen heard that the company had just finished a job before he joined the company, and the two days were still in the final stage. Compared with the team members, the team leader was much more busy. Except for Qi Chen, there were not many people in the office space separated by this order.

"Long--Eh?" Hong Ming, the head of the logistics team, came in with a rush in wearing more than ten centimeters of high heels, "You are the only one in Xiaochen? Shouldn't the leader of the team come back? Do you see others?"

"Sister Ming." Qi Chen said hello and said, "Before the meal, I saw Team Leader Long come in with coffee, but I didn't see anyone after I got back."

"Where are you? Has anyone seen where Team Leader Long went?" Hong Ming turned his head and asked the group member sitting outside.

Someone spoke out: "I saw him and Team Leader Hu heading to Block B, and I guess he went to the supervision room."

"I just came back and went to the supervision room?" Hong Ming said in surprise: "Oh, when did he be so obedient when did he take rat medicine at noon??"

Qi Chen: "..."

"Xiaochen, are you busy?" Hong Ming patted the stack of documents in his hand, "I have to go out, please help me get to the B seat! Do you know about the supervision room? Go to the second room west of the corridor."

Qi Chen’s innocent face: “Is it the west left or right?”

Hong Ming looked at it for granted: "Go up north, south, left, west, right east, and west, of course left."

Qi Chen: "..." What you said makes sense.

"Let Team Leader Long sign these documents, and you can put them on my desk after signing them." After a few words, Hong Ming stuffed the documents to Qi Chen and then turned around and left in his high heels. His big curly hair almost shook Qi Chen's face.

After finishing the matter in his hand, Qi Chen took the small stack of documents out of the office.

Guanghe Company's offices, conference rooms, reception rooms, etc. are concentrated in Block A, while archives, supervision rooms, etc. involving company internal information are arranged in Block B, and the two buildings are connected through an indoor corridor on the second floor.

While walking along the corridor to the opposite side, Qi Chen lowered his head and flipped through the documents that needed to be signed by Team Leader Long -

I saw that the first few pieces were ordered together with normal A4 printing paper. The company looked up in front and the last one struck the company seal in the lower right corner. The text content of the last few pieces was the same as the one in the front, but the paper used was very special, light yellow, slightly astringent in the touch, thin and transparent.

If it is a duplicate, the look of the latter part is very strange. It is not a common symbol of Guanghe Company, but a pattern similar to a totem. The last one is not an ordinary company seal, but a square seal, with the text on the seal in seal script.

Just as he was about to see what was engraved, a low male voice suddenly rang in front of him: "Where are you standing in a daze, why don't you stand in the middle of the road? Are you a crab?"

This voice is still very elegant in terms of tone, but with the tone of the speaker...

hehe.

Qi Chen knew who was here without looking up, but why did this man walk silently? Is there a meat pad on his shoes? He is such a good guy to pretend to be a ghost!

He closed the documents in his hand and handed them in front of the dealer: "Team leader Long, I happened to look for you. If you have a document, please sign it."

Team Leader Long didn't even look at the file. Seeing that it was sent by Qi Chen, he snorted and turned his head with disgust: "No time!"

Qi Chen: "..." How could this person be so naive!

Seeing that his face had not turned around, Qi Chen said "Oh" with a numb look, and his tone was not fluctuating: "Sister Ming said that this is the various subsidies you made on the business trip this time, if you don't sign it, you basically won't be able to report it. She also said that the suggestions you made are also in there. Are you sure you don't sign it? Then I'll take it back and say it to Sister Ming--"

"Wait!" Team leader Long finally turned his head. He snatched the small stack of documents, glared at Qi Chen, then turned around and walked two steps to paste the stack of documents on the wall. He didn't know where to find a pen and a seal. He first signed the ghost painting talisman on the first last page, and then simply and roughly knocked the chapter on the second last page.

Qi Chen reached out respectfully, waiting to take the signed documents, feeling that he was very much like a little eunuch serving the old man.

As a result, Team Leader Long took the pen and the seal, glanced at him, and then took the documents and walked around him, leaving him with the longevity, almost saying "Kneel down and rest".

Qi Chen: "..."

A day ago, he felt that he was not the same group as the Dragon Team Leader, so he would not mess with him. Now, thinking about it, it's so... God... it's really...

Guanghe Company is standard for nine to five. According to Xiao Heipi, working overtime and on business trips overnight is common when you have work. When you have no work, you are idle and have grown hair and get off work on time without delaying for a minute.

As soon as five o'clock arrived, everyone in the office packed up their things and prepared to turn off the computer and leave.

Qi Chen calmly sent a WeChat message to his friend, then put on his coat and walked around with a navy blue scarf. Little black leather walked beside him with a bag, and enthusiastically invited him to have dinner together.

"I made an appointment with a college roommate. He accompanied me to move my luggage twice to organize the dormitory and so on. I'll treat him to dinner today." Qi Chen said to Xiao Heipi apologetically.

Xiao Heipi nodded in understanding: "Oh, I want it, go quickly, I'll go to the cafeteria to solve it." After that, he followed the abortion and walked towards the underground floor.

Qi Chen originally thought that there must be discounts in the internal canteen, so even if the taste is outrageous, there are still so many people eating it. Who knows that not only does not have discounts, but on average, each meal is much more expensive than outside. I don’t know what my colleagues who choose to go to the canteen every day think, are they masochistic?

A new self-service barbecue restaurant has been opened in Ceylon Plaza east of Jiayang District. It is said that the meat and vegetables are fresh and the sauce is fragrant. Qi Chen and his roommate Xu Liang made an appointment here. They are very close to Xu Liang's workplace and only one stop to Guanghe Company.

Qi Chen waited for a while before Xu Liang arrived.

"Luckily, you got off work early. I just saw that outside had already started to get a number and wait for the seat." Xu Liang put his coat and scarf aside, rolled up his sleeves, and said as he poured a little warm water to rinse the cup and plate.

"You're not too late today, why? The new batches in your restaurant have been prepared?" Qi Chen had already brought a few plates of meat over, and after the waiter put the oiled paper on it, he put them on the paper piece by piece.

Xu Liang works in the museum opposite the corner of Ceylon Plaza. He is the only one in their dormitory except Qi Chen who stays in Jiangshi. They have a good relationship, so they naturally get closer. They complain about it almost every day on WeChat.

Qi Chen had heard before that a tomb was dug in a village called Baihe on the western suburbs of Jiang City, cleared a small batch of burial objects and sent it to Xu Liang and his museum. Two days ago, they were sorting out the exhibition area for this small batch of burial objects.

"Well, it's all done and it will be open this week. There are a few things that are really beautiful. I took photos when the arrangement is made and I will look for you later. I will go picking the sauce first, and I will starve to death." Xu Liang said and got up to go to the sauce area.

The batch of thin meat slices that Qi Chen put on the oil paper were already cooked, and the sizzling sound was sensational.

Qi Chen shrugged his nose and thought that he was his own person with Xu Liang and was not particular about politeness, so he stretched out his claws and moved his chopsticks first.

Xu Liang picked the sauce plate according to his taste, took a few more plates of meat dishes, and when he returned to his seat, he saw Qi Chen wrapped a thick layer of sauce with slices of meat, wrapped in fresh and crispy lettuce leaves, whimpering, and then looked at him with his cheeks bulging and moving, looking innocent.

A plate was empty on the table, and a batch of freshly placed slices of meat were replaced on the greased paper.

Xu Liang: “…”

Seeing him having a meal, Xu Liang became even hungry... So he took out his cell phone, slid it in the album twice, then flipped to the latest photos, and clicked on it and stuffed it to Qi Chen: "Foodie! Look at the photos first, this is my turn!"

Qi Chen put down his chopsticks sadly, took his phone and looked at the photos taken by Xu Liang.

Because strong light damages cultural relics, the lights in the museum are always very dim and cannot be turned on, so the batch of photos taken by Xu Liang is not very good. Although the focus is on the cultural relics in the display cabinet, they are not close, and various staff members are always inaccessible to enter the surrounding area.

"Look at that bronze mirror and that jade bracelet..." Xu Liang said while eating.

Qi Chen said "hmm" and his thin fingers slid across the photo: "Inlaid with gold and jade bracelets? I remember that I was not digging the tomb of a noble family this time... This craftsmanship looks very similar to the one from Hejia Village in the early years - eh?"

He said as he slid to the back photo, but after a glance, he was stunned: "This woman is in your museum?"

"Which?" Xu Liang looked at the cell phone handed over by Qi Chen with confusion, and saw him pointing to a woman in a red knitted suit behind the cultural relics display cabinet.

"Oh-Sister Qin, what's in the office next to us? Do you know each other?"
