detour

Xu You stared gloomyly at the beer glass in his hand, "You can count on me buying this glass of wine."

"Pretending to be poor is enough for me!" The man behind the bar who was trying to settle accounts couldn't bear it and yelled, "My glass of wine only costs ten yuan!"

Xu You pouted, obviously dissatisfied with his statement, "The supermarket downstairs in my house only sells for ten yuan a bottle, how can a bottle of beer pour two glasses?"

The man looked at him sarcastically, "Didn't you already decide to go to Meng Feng's company? He paid you a lot of salary, and you still make it like this?"

Xu You sighed, "Choosing to go actively, and being forced to go by the situation are two concepts, okay? So I'm in a very upset mood now, as a friend, you should at least comfort me, right?"

"I'm not happy either." The man leaned over, slowly picked up a flannel cloth and began to wipe the glass, "You will be slapped by that little bastard Su Chengze."

It was not even dinner time, and there were hardly any customers in the bar.Two waiters in white shirts were busy changing tablecloths and ashtrays. The rustling sound was amplified in the empty bar, with a slightly empty echo.

The man who was wiping the wine glass was named Huang Haitao, and he was a colleague of Xu You who joined Sanjian in the same year.When Su Chengze walked away, the company assigned Huang Haitao to half of the project he had done.When Huang Haitao contacted the person in charge of the project by phone, the other party mentioned that Su Chengze hadn't handed over to the company when he ran back to Daocheng, and the information was very confusing.If the information was not complete, Huang Haitao would not be able to start his work, so Huang Haitao went downstairs to Su Chengze's house to block people. As a result, Su Chengze didn't cooperate at all.The result of the action was that someone called the police, the matter was reported to the company, Huang Haitao was demerited, and the technical pacesetter of the year was replaced by someone else.Because of this demerit, Huang Haitao was not mentioned in the next two years, and he was very unhappy. Later, he resigned and opened a bar with his friends.

Xu You and Su Chengze did not get along, half of the reason was that this person was not capable of working and his work attitude was problematic, which made him look down on him very much, and the other half was because he offended Huang Haitao.

Huang Haitao wiped the glass for a while, then said thoughtfully, "Su Chengze is still in this business."

Xu You was disdainful, "You haven't seen Zhuang Shaodong's posture with him..." He squeezed out an ambiguous expression and touched the back of Huang Haitao's hand, "That's the virtue."

Huang Haitao opened his mouth wide and was stunned for a while, "No... that person you mentioned is really Zhuang Shaodong?"

"Unbelievable, right?" Xu You sneered, "When Shijie and I were disturbed back then, it was a righteous speech, impassioned, as if I would be so low if I didn't break up with his uncle...Fuck!"

Huang Haitao shook his head, with an unbelievable expression on his face, "Could it be that their dealer has this genetic gene, but the child was too young and his hair hadn't fully grown, so he didn't notice it?"

"His mother is not a fuel-efficient lamp." Xu You squinted at Huang Haitao, smiling very maliciously, "When she finds out that her son is a virtuous uncle with the uncle she is planning to deal with, what do you think she will do? Reaction? Do you think this is the retribution God arranged for her?"

"At the beginning, she dealt with Zhuang Shijie mainly for the inheritance of the Zhuang family. Do you think she really cares about who Zhuang Shijie likes? Don't talk about you, I think Zhuang Shijie can find fault with any fairy when he returns." Huang Haitao shook his head pityingly. "I said Xu Zi, what year is the old calendar, so don't think about these things anymore, okay?"

Xu You shook his head, forced a self-deprecating smile, "Well, I don't want to."

Huang Haitao reached out and rubbed his head as if to appease a stray dog, "Should I call Fatty and the others out for dinner tonight? Have a drink or two together."

Xu You lay on the bar counter and shook his head in disinterest, "Forget it, I still have to find a house and I'm busy. How can I be free to drink?"

The house he originally rented was in the west of the city, and Meng Feng's technology company was in the south of the city. Given the road conditions of the island city, it would take at least two hours to drive his little broken Honda across the city to and from get off work every day.

Huang Haitao pondered for a while, "I'll help you find out about the house, do you need it urgently?"

"Of course it's urgent." Xu You pushed the empty cup back, "Meng Feng asked me to report on Monday, and there are only three or four days left."

"Okay, I see." Huang Haitao patted him on the shoulder, "I'll ask you about it, so I won't delay your business."

Huang Haitao has been in the bar business for several years, and he knows all kinds of people from all walks of life, and he is very efficient in handling miscellaneous things.What's more, his girlfriend Zhao Xiaoqi also works in a securities company in the financial street in the south of the city. Every day, she goes in and out to meet a group of young white-collar workers with similar conditions. She has often done things like help people find houses.So within two days, the matter of finding a house for Xu You began to appear.Huang Haitao picked and picked among a bunch of houses, leaving behind the two or three houses he was most optimistic about, picked up his mobile phone and started calling Xu You.

Xu You had been playing the game all day, and now he had just stepped into the dumpling restaurant at the entrance of the community, and planned to eat something to fill his stomach, Huang Haitao began to urge him anxiously, "The owner of the house is just here now!" If you are free, you have to go to work when you are free during the day. Let me tell you, the house is really good, even I have taken a fancy to it, do you want to come or not?"

"Then you have to come," Xu You sighed while rubbing his stomach, "I'm still hungry here, if the house is not good, I'll have to dip you in dumpling vinegar and eat you."

"Stop talking nonsense, come quickly." Huang Haitao didn't take his threats seriously at all, "I've already made an appointment with the landlord."

There were not many cars at night, so Xu You arrived in the south of the city in less than an hour.The house that Huang Haitao was interested in was a high-rise, a small apartment with two bedrooms and two living rooms, with an area of ​​less than [-] square meters.The most important point is that it is only a ten-minute drive from Meng Feng's company, which is very convenient.

The owner of the house is a young couple who were newly married. When they heard that the renter was a single man, they were a little bit embarrassed. However, Xu You's appearance was still very deceptive, and he was a very legitimate occupation. The young couple had an interrogation. There is nothing dissatisfied for half a day.Xu You also felt that the house was very pleasant, especially with furniture, and the kitchen was well equipped with gas and stove, so there was almost no need to buy anything by himself, so the matter was settled like this.The two parties signed the contract on the spot, and Xu You paid half a year's rent at once, and got the key on the spot.

The house is on the sixteenth floor, and the windows of the living room and the master bedroom are facing the bay of the inner sea.It looks dark at night, but the scenery should be very good during the day.The south of the city was originally the most prosperous area of ​​the island city, and later the new bay area was reclaimed from the sea. Most of the newly built hotels and entertainment venues in recent years are concentrated in this area.Looking down from the height of the sixteenth floor, the flickering neon lights adorn the southern district in a charming manner.

Xu You remembered that a few years ago, he had to hide from others and go to clubs in the South District secretly, but now he actually lives in the South District directly.

It's been 20 years of feng shui rotation.

"The house is not bad." Huang Haitao came over and patted the balcony railing, and said slightly regretfully, "It would be better if the balcony was sealed."

"It's okay." Xu You handed him a cigarette, and narrowed his eyes slightly in the night wind, "The small balcony in the bedroom is sealed up, and clothes can be hung there to dry. Leave it here to blow the wind, see It's also open."

Huang Haitao shook his head, "The floor is so high, I always feel unsafe."

Xu You burst out laughing immediately, "What's so unsafe, if you really want to jump off the building and seal the balcony, you can jump off. Besides, I haven't lived enough yet, so I don't want to die."

Huang Haitao gave him a sideways look, and snorted through his nose, "Die or live, you have nothing to hold back."

Xu You patted the railing and laughed, "Haven't you heard that life and death have fate? Those who are taboo or not are not there."

"Okay, okay," Huang Haitao didn't like to hear him say this, "this is also a happy housewarming, I said, Juju?"

Xu You pondered for a while, then nodded, "You should make an appointment, and call me when the time is set."

Huang Haitao extinguished his cigarette on the railing, "Does that little friend of yours bring it?"

Xu You asked him blankly, "Which one are you talking about?"

"The art guy." Huang Haitao frowned, "I think that kid is quite interested in you. You drank so much at my place, and he even came to give you clothes."

"Tell him," Xu You smiled with the corners of his mouth pulled, "It's been a long time since we broke up."

Huang Haitao stared at him weakly, "I said you can't find a suitable one to live in peace and stability?"

"Don't worry about it," Xu Youhun didn't care, "I'm fine like this."

Huang Haitao patted him on the shoulder, feeling a little uncomfortable all of a sudden.
