I ate dinner at the police station. It was a bit early. It was already past nine at the moment. When Qiao Shi passed by a dessert shop, the dessert shop hadn't closed yet, so he just went in to buy some snacks.

At this time, there were almost no people in the dessert shop, and Joe chose some cheesecake and some hot drinks.

In addition, there is a new cake today, which is more expensive, more than 300, but because it is about to close, it has already been discounted by 30%.

After confirming the low sweetness with the clerk, Qiao Shi asked the clerk to take it out.

This one should be able to finish it.

Then he chose some biscuits, and Qiao Shi was about to check out.

At this moment, the door of the dessert shop was pushed open again, and after a while, a hesitant voice sounded behind him.

"Are you... Chen Chaolu?"

Qiao Shi looked back and saw a woman about her age with delicate makeup. Under a camel wool coat was a small black sweater with a low collar. The exposed collarbone was white and transparent, and her long burgundy hair was casually scattered.

After thinking about it carefully, it seems that it was Du Yan, Chen Chaolu's former colleague.

However, the two did not have much friendship. On the contrary, because they were both newcomers to the company, Chen Chaolu performed better, so Du Yan naturally couldn't understand Chen Chaolu.

"long time no see."

Du Yan had a kind smile on the corner of her mouth, and her white and slender hands stretched out from the camel coat.

Qiao Shi glanced at her, and also extended a hand, but after two years of torture, Chen Chaolu's hands were red and rough, and there were scars left by frostbite on them.

Holding both hands together, it is hard to imagine two people of the same age.

Du Yan's hand received it as soon as she touched it, and Qiao had no expression on her face, just took out the payment code and prepared to check out.

"Chaolu, anyhow we are also former colleagues, why don't you say a word?"

Du Yan watched Qiao Shi's reaction seriously, but saw that Qiao Shi's face was calm, and there was no expression besides it.

Qiao Shi glanced at her lightly, and only uttered a few words coldly.

"do not want to talk."

"Hey, if you hadn't been sold into the mountains for two years, you might be able to make a fortune in this city."

Du Yan sighed, with regret in her words.

Qiao Shi ignored her, just waiting for the clerk to scan her things. She bought a lot of things, but because it was too late, many of them were discounted products.

Du Yan still ignored her when she saw Qiao, she couldn't help rolling her eyes behind Qiao Shi.

Why is Chen Chaolu now? She has worked hard in the big city for two years to become the current deputy manager, but Chen Chaolu was sold into the mountains and ruined for two years. Why is she still so proud in front of her!

"Chaolu, you have been trapped in the mountains for two years and have no relatives and no reason. It is better to treat these as if I invited you."

Seeing that the stuff in front of the clerk was about to be scanned, Du Yan rolled her eyes and hurried to get her mobile phone from her bag.

Qiao Shi raised his eyebrows and spit out a word.

"it is good."

Then stepped aside.

Doyeon, who hasn't taken out her phone yet: "..."

"A total of 417."

The clerk looked at Du Yan after the liquidation, and Du Yan's hand stiffened.

"Couldn't you deliberately cheat my friend when she was just rescued? It costs more than 400 for something?"

Du Yan thought about telling Qiao Shi to give up the payment with the clerk.

"This customer, how can our store behave in good faith?"

The clerk pointed out the most expensive items that Joe bought.

Two small slap cakes, after discount, cost more than two hundred. It is said that they are imported cream, the cake base is specially made, and a few pieces of gold leaf are wrapped on it.

In addition, there are five durian layer cakes. There are more durians. A cake costs 19 yuan...

Well, she has a relatively large appetite and consumes a lot of energy. All of these are no problem.

"Are you out of money?"

Qiao Shi continued to look at Du Yan faintly, without saying that he had to pay by himself. The clerk also looked at Du Yan at this moment.

Du Yan was struggling to ride a tiger, so she had to take out her mobile phone from her bag to pay, and her expressions were bright for a while.

Qiao Shi gave a chuckle.

When Chen Chaolu was still in the company, Du Yan was a Yueguang clan.

The pseudo-exquisite life in big cities has completely hollowed out these so-called white-collar workers.

It is possible that the exquisite white-collar workers in the big cities that you think are not as comfortable as the rural women working in agriculture.

After the checkout, Qiao Shi smiled and waved goodbye to Du Yan, and walked out of the cake shop carrying cakes and desserts.

It seemed that the end of the month was about to come, and it was very likely that the more than four hundred dollars would be Du Yan's little money.

Tut tut~

The heart person deserves to be so.

And looking at Du Yan's face, everything went wrong in the past few days, so she can save her hands again.

After Chen Chaolu was rescued by abduction, the first news came from the company, who was the first to call the police. After Chen Chaolu was rescued, the company would definitely be notified.

Some of Chen Chaolu's things are still in the company, other than that, Chen Chaolu has not told anyone.

However, news of her being sold to the mountains spread quickly across the Internet.

Even her photos were posted online.

Although anyone else in the company released the news, Qiao Shi knew that Du Yan must be one of them.

...

After Qiao Shi returned to the hotel, he found some rental information on the Internet.

When Chen Chaolu came back, she did not leave the city, but rented a cheap house.

Qiao Shi chose for a while, and still chose the place where Chen Chaolu once rented, which is a village in the city.

It may be demolished in the future, but it is impossible in recent years.

Most of the people living in the villages in the city are old people and young men and women who have come to the city to fight.

The environment of the village in the city is not good, maybe it is more appropriate to describe it as dirty and messy.

Everything inside seems to be incompatible with this bustling metropolis.

This time Qiao chose a slightly better house, a one-bedroom, one-bedroom with a separate bathroom and kitchen.

This kind of house has always been popular in urban villages, and the price is more expensive, nearly two thousand yuan a month, excluding water and electricity.

The decoration of the house is very old. The bathroom is simply a squat pit built with cement. It is dark and damp, with stains everywhere.

The living room and bedroom are also simply decorated. There is a small balcony outside the living room. Since it is on the fifth floor, it is sunny, and the lighting is relatively good.

But I can't say anything about the kitchen, there are traces of oil stains everywhere, and the oil stains have accumulated a thick layer.

Qiao Shi couldn't figure out what kind of person it was that could lead his life like this.

The gas stove has long been unable to see the original color, and the thick layer of fallen food has become moldy and rotten.

Qiao Shi: "..."

(?_?)

It feels similar to the garbage dump where she used to be.

After negotiating with the landlord, the landlord agreed to remove all the things in the house and ask Qiao Shi to redecorate it.

If Joe does not want to rent in the future, some of the hard decorations in the house that have been renovated cannot be destroyed.

For this reason, the landlord deliberately lowered the monthly rent by 150 yuan.

...

It's a bit more talkative, not so unreasonable.

After signing the contract, the landlord took away some of the bed cabinets inside the next day, and Qiao Shi invited the decorator to enter and decorate.

The entire renovation process will take ten days even if you add money to speed it up.

Qiao Shi took this time to go to other provinces.

Since Chen Chaolu, who was inflicted in the first place, was completely destroyed, she can't live comfortably now.
