Chapter 47

Ding Dong
Shen Xiu stood outside the villa wall, took a deep breath, and rang the doorbell.

Until now, he was still guessing what Zhou Cheng wanted from him.

When I went to work before, even if I was late many times, I never saw Zhou Cheng make a phone call like this.

Now this set of life-threatening serial calls really made him feel anxious.

Suddenly, there was a click and the electronic lock opened.

Shocked, Shen Xiu looked at the wide open door and walked in.

It's a blessing, not a disaster, it's a disaster that can't be avoided.

Anyway, Zhou Cheng was just his partner after all, what else could she do, could it be that she ate him?

While cheering herself up, Shen Xiu came to the door.

The door of the villa was ajar right now, and it was unknown if Zhou Cheng was behind the door.

"Shouldn't it be so scary?"

Shen Xiu swallowed her saliva, stretched out her hand to push the door, and opened it easily.

After a careful look, Zhou Cheng was not behind the door, so he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Entering the house, looking around, the decoration inside is not as magnificent and magnificent as he imagined.

On the contrary, it is a bit plain, even a bit too plain.

There is only a shoe-changing stool and a shoe cabinet embedded in the wall in the entrance. In the living room, there is a simple white fabric sofa with a beige fluffy carpet underneath.

The coffee table is just a small round table with a water glass on it.

The rest, such as the dining table, dining cabinet, wall cabinet, wine cabinet, etc., are all made of ordinary white oak.

From the general point of view, it doesn't match this villa community with every inch of land and this villa with at least eight figures.

"This woman's preferences are really a mystery."

Shen Xiu pouted, ready to put on a shoe cover.

Thinking about Zhou Cheng's character, she doesn't welcome others to use her slippers.

But I looked around and saw that there were no shoe covers, and then opened the shoe cabinet to see that there were disposable slippers.

Now, Shen Xiu put on a pair without any psychological burden, and walked in.

"Director Zhou, where are you?"

Looking around, she didn't find any trace of Zhou Cheng, and she didn't dare to go up to the second floor casually, so Shen Xiu could only yell.

As soon as the voice came out, Zhou Cheng's lukewarm voice was suddenly heard behind him:

"It's pretty cool."

Shen Xiu was startled, and when she looked back, Zhou Cheng who was sitting in a wheelchair appeared quietly behind him.

"Where did you come from?"

Shen Xiu looked around suspiciously, but did not find a passage for Zhou Cheng to bypass his line of sight and go to the rear.

Zhou Cheng narrowed his phoenix eyes, slid his wheelchair to the living room, took a sip from the water glass on the coffee table, and said:

"Where do I come from and need to report to you?"

"This bitch"

Shen Xiu's breath stagnated, she touched her nose embarrassingly, and said:

"That's not necessary."

With that said, he also walked over, sat down on the sofa, and asked:

"Director Zhou, why are you calling me so many times?"

Staying here, Shen Xiu felt uncomfortable all over, it's better to deal with the business as soon as possible, it's better to go out earlier.

Zhou Cheng watched Shen Xiu's movements, frowned slightly, sneered, and said:

"You still know that I'm the supervisor? Tell me, how to deal with the absence from work these days."

"Absent from work?"

Shen Xiu's eyes were dull, and she instantly remembered that she had indeed not gone to work for some days.

According to the company's regulations, if you are absent from work for more than half a day without reason, all performance for the month will be deducted.

One day of absenteeism will be deducted from the performance of the month and 50.00% of the basic salary, and the whole company will be notified.

Absent from work for two days, immediately fired.

After careful calculation, it seems that it has been more than two days.

Could it be that this mother-in-law is looking for him for this, isn't it?

Shen Xiu secretly took a breath.

Is this woman going to fire herself regardless of her life-and-death relationship?

"Director Zhou, it's not like you don't know what happened in the past few days. I'm not absent from work without reason. There's a reason." Shen Xiu quickly explained.

This is related to the issue of food and clothing, and we cannot be careless.

Zhou Cheng remained expressionless and said:
"There is indeed a reason, but is your reason related to the company? Is absenteeism a fact?"

"But I saved your life!" Shen Xiu argued.

"Save my life?" Zhou Cheng sneered, "Saving me has nothing to do with the company, and this is not a reason not to punish you."

Gah!
Looking at it like this, this woman is determined to take care of herself.

"Could it be that today is the day I lose my job?"

Shen Xiu felt sad, and her momentum also weakened.

"Director Zhou, is there any room for negotiation?"

Zhou Cheng remained silent, and took another sip of water.

Shen Xiu found that the water in the glass was about to bottom out, looked around, and hurriedly ran into the kitchen, took a pot of warm water to refill.

Zhou Cheng looked at Shen Xiu indifferently, and didn't stop him. He waited for Shen Xiu to refill the water before saying:

"Tell me about Dense Fog Town."

Shen Xiu, who was standing on the edge of the unemployment cliff, was still waiting in fear for the sentencing, but when she heard such a sentence, she didn't react for a long time.

This woman's thinking is too detached, why did she suddenly get involved in Dense Fog Town again.

"Director Zhou, let's talk about work first." Shen Xiu whispered.

Zhou Cheng just drank water, looked at him quietly, and didn't speak.

Shen Xiu pursed her lips, deeply understanding what it means for a person to have to bow his head under the eaves.

As a last resort, I can only say the set of nine truths and one falsehood.

After Zhou Cheng listened, he suddenly smiled coldly and said:

"Isn't it a sense of accomplishment to be able to come out of there alive and rescue Wang Quan by the way?"

Shen Xiu shook her head without thinking about it.

"No."

This is his sincere words. For others, that small town is a place of near death.

But for him, it's like going home.

"The family is harmonious" and "multi-talented", very harmonious.

Except for the sudden attack of something in the middle of my brain, which was a little thrilling, everything else was fine.

There is no sense of accomplishment in something that is not difficult at all.

However, Zhou Cheng heard the truth in a different way.

"Do you think that the eighth-level restricted area is nothing more than that, and you still want to go to the Ivory Lake?" Zhou Cheng said coldly.

Shen Xiu was silent for a few seconds, then nodded under Zhou Cheng's cold gaze.

"Have the idea."

Snapped!
The water glass hit the coffee table heavily, and rolled onto the soft carpet with a grunt.

Zhou Cheng's pretty face suddenly showed thick anger, his silver teeth were clenched, and he glared at Shen Xiu.

Shen Xiu was confused by her inexplicable anger.

What's wrong with this woman?
Standing up, he picked up the unbroken cup and held it in his hand, asking:
"What happened to you?"

Zhou Cheng laughed angrily, and said:
"I'm living a good life, what can I do, unlike some people who are rushing to court death."

Shen Xiu somewhat understood the reason for Zhou Cheng's anger, a strange feeling flashed in her heart, she put the cup back on the tea table, she seemed to be explaining, and she seemed to be talking to herself:
"I'm afraid I'm courting death if I don't go."

Zhou Cheng was stunned for a moment, restrained his anger, and asked:
"what happened?"

Immediately, Shen Xiu told about her situation, the ancient book that recorded the old gods, and the borrowing conditions.

After hearing the whole incident, Zhou Cheng once again returned to his previous lukewarm, expressionless face, but deep in his heart was filled with sadness.

Five investigations into the seven-level restricted area sounded simple.

Shen Xiu has already completed it once, and it will be done four more times.

But is the seventh-level restricted area really that easy to enter and exit?
This time it was Shen Xiu's luck, good luck, could he be guaranteed the same good luck for the next few times, could it be that he is the illegitimate child of the goddess of luck?

In addition, the special medal is even more terrible. It has to go deep into the night to find a valuable item.

Is that place where people can go?
Zhou Cheng was silent for a long time, and asked:
"How long can you hold on?"

Shen Xiu shook her head:

"I don't know, but I think it should last for a while."

Zhou Cheng lowered his eyelids, adjusted the direction of the wheelchair, and slid towards the bedroom.

At the same time, a sentence that surprised Shen Xiu came out of her mouth.

"You go back to work first, and I'll talk about the rest when I recover."
