When there is a problem, when a situation arises, everyone turns to look at her immediately. She can always command calmly and find a solution.

She is someone you feel like you can rely on.

Alex suddenly felt a little ashamed. Because he actually had some urges to rely on her in his heart. But he is the man.

Guo Zhi is just a woman.

She made it clear to him this morning, and she doesn't want to have that relationship with him in the future. He was a little lost.

But she was no longer angry with him, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

She said that this matter was actually none of his business, and he didn't really agree with it. He always thinks... a man, two women... um... no matter how you think about it, it seems that he is wrong...

It seems that Sister Guo should be angry...

Well, he actually doesn't quite understand. His brain is not suitable for thinking about things.

The filming went well and ended on time for the evening. When Alex left, seeing that Guo Zhi hadn't left, he was still muttering in front of the computer with the photographer watching the samples.

Seeing that she was busy, he didn't come up to disturb her. Quietly left.

Back in the basement, under the lights, there was a sticky note on the door of his room, with "2" written in marker on it.

It means that after today, he still has two days. There will be a "1" on the door tomorrow. On Friday, if he can't get any more money, the big iron lock is waiting for him.

He had also seen this note on other people's room doors before, as well as iron locks. At that time, he thought that the landlord was very funny, which was very interesting.

When the note was pasted on the door of his own room, Alex didn't find it interesting anymore.

He just prayed that his due payment would be paid back on schedule.

But don't go wrong.

☆、Chapter 23

At noon on Friday, Guo Zhi's cell phone rang. When she picked it up and looked at it, her teeth hurt.

Caller ID "Tie Gongji".

Tie Gongjī, Tie Gongjī, why are you still calling me!

Guo Zhi reluctantly answered: "Hello."

Tie Gong's cheerful voice sounded: "Guo Zhi, me."

Guo Zhi: "..." What the hell is this "I know you well" tone?

"It's the weekend, or tomorrow..."

Guo Zhi froze when he heard the word "tomorrow". Tomorrow is Saturday, she's going home! go home! She wants to eat her mother's cooking! I want to eat my mother's cooking!

"I have something to do tomorrow, or today." She quickly cut off the cheerful arrangement.

"Today?" The other party seemed a little hesitant.

"That's it..." Guo Zhixun said quickly, "I'll invite you to a movie tonight, wait a minute... Let's see... um, oh! There's a show at 7:40!"

She made the arrangement directly: "Then see you at the cinema at 7:15. You can go after dinner, okay?"

She directly saved the other party the money for dinner, and even invited the other party to watch a movie, Tie Gong only held back for a second, and then happily agreed.

After hanging up the phone, Guo Zhi let out a long sigh. It's okay, she just spends money to find someone to watch a movie with her. This is the best, he can't be rhetoric when watching movies, right? She was tired of listening to him always adjusting her monthly income to over 10,000 yuan.

After killing him with a movie, she can fly home happily on the high-speed train like a happy bird in the morning. Mmmm, have to tell mother at night and let her cook her old duck soup at night! She'll be in time for a drink tomorrow at noon!

If she asked about Mr. Tie, she could confidently tell her that she just had a date on Friday, and everything went well, not so smooth!

Good, that's all.

Guo Zhi finished dinner and went to the cinema at 7:30, Tie Gongji was already waiting there.

Guo Zhi deliberately made him wait, and said falsely, "Hey, I'm sorry, I'm late."

Tie Gong jī doted on his face: "It's okay, all of you girls are like this." He smiled as if he was graceful.

Ouch, I'm going!

Guo Zhi endured the discomfort and went to the ticket machine to pick up the ticket. It is now possible to enter. Pairs of couples walked towards the ticket office, mostly men holding drinks and women holding popcorn.

Guo Zhi glanced at his date lightly. Tie Gong pretended not to see it. Guo Zhi didn't pierce him, smiled lightly, and checked in.

This movie was originally intended by Guo Zhi to find time to watch, but now it's just an extra ticket. With this amount of money, you can buy clean ears and no need to be forced to go on a blind date in the short term. Guo Zhi thinks it's worth the money.

The movie is at 7:40, which is not long after dinner. Guo Zhi felt thirsty before watching a third of the movie.

She glanced sideways at Tie Gong Ji, and sure enough, seeing him, she snorted.

Seeing that he was also thirsty, Guo Zhi was relieved.

Without changing his face, he took out a bottle of mineral water from his bag, unscrewed it, and drank it. Out of the corner of his eye, Tie Gongjing glanced at her.

Considering this person's familiarity and self-confidence, in order to prevent him from drinking a bottle of water with her, she calmly put the water bottle back into her bag.

Tie Gongji: "..."

People, there must be a spirit who rejoices in suffering. If you keep complaining about yourself, you will always be immersed in negative emotions. On the contrary, if you can adjust your mentality, you can find fun even in difficult situations.

For example, even if it makes her hate the irritable blind date, change the angle and learn how to tease a hairless Tie Gong jī, you can still find fun.

Guo Zhi felt that his mentality had been adjusted really well.

Compliment yourself!

It's past nine o'clock after watching the movie. Tie Gong said in a rare and generous way that he wanted to send her back. Guo Zhi smiled and politely declined.

She actually drove by herself today. After sending Tie Gong away, she hummed a little tune, thinking that she would be able to drink the old duck soup cooked by her mother tomorrow, her steps were relaxed, and she happily got into her car.

When I got home, I turned a corner in the corridor and was startled. On the ground in front of her house, there are two trolley cases and a backpack. A young boy was sitting on the ground in a daze, when he heard the footsteps, he turned to see her, and stood up hurriedly.

Called: "Sister Guo..."

The situation was a little weird, Guo Zhi hesitated for a while, but walked over and asked, "What's wrong...Alex?"

Alex didn't say anything, and suddenly hugged her tightly...

Sometimes there is something to be afraid of.

Alex was eagerly waiting for the sum of his money to pay the rent. He also called the company's finance company on Thursday, and asked him in good spirits. The treasurer also promised to notify him on Friday.

On Friday, he waited until 10:30 and did not receive a call. Call again, no one picks up. Alex had a bad premonition and rushed over.

It was a small company, not as well-managed as such large companies as K and M. The financer who answered his call before was on vacation, and only the other financer looked over and couldn't find his list. Asked the date, and said, "I didn't have it for a while. Accountant Ma must have forgotten to pick it up for me when he left yesterday. Just wait for her to come back."

Alex begged for a long time to no avail, so he could only ask Accountant Ma when he would be back.

"Next Tuesday... oh no, no, it's next Tuesday," the other said.

Alex walked out of the company and looked up at the sky. The rare good weather in the imperial capital, you can see the blue sky and white clouds.

He was full of sorrow.

Is a penny a hero? This sentence was only seen in novels before, and now really understand it.

He wandered outside for a few hours, staying in a McKee, flipping through the phone's address book to find a few people who could be considered friends. Pull down your face and open your mouth to borrow money.

None were borrowed.

He strolled back to the basement when the pink sunset began to appear in the sky. Unsurprisingly, he was greeted by a large iron lock.

Alex looked at the lock, silently took out his phone, and called the landlord.

In a few minutes, the landlord came down with a shirtless cigarette, a round beer belly, and Tara Tara in slippers. When he saw him, he asked, "Are you rich?"

Alex was silent for a moment, then replied, "No."

The landlord nodded clearly and asked, "Do you know the rules?"

Alex nodded silently.

The landlord happily opened the big iron lock and watched Alex drag two boxes out of the room... Until he sent Alex out of the basement, he was still talking: "You are so handsome, you can't make money by ordering anything. Hey...I I heard that there is such a store, male public relations... You know? It earns tens of thousands of dollars a night..."

Alex dragged the suitcase forward, and heard the landlord shouting to him from behind: "I tell you, handsome guy, this is a face-to-face world, you can't make money even if you look so handsome, it's definitely yourself The problem!"

Alex's footsteps paused, then dragged the box forward again. He went all the way to the side of the road on the Second Ring Road, where he stood the box. Sit down on the curb yourself.

He took out his wallet from his trouser pocket and looked at it, and there was less than four hundred dollars left. If you have enough food to eat, if you stay in a hotel... you probably won't be able to make it through.

He closed his wallet sadly and stuffed it back into his pocket, just in a daze, watching the sunset in the sky darken a little bit until it was completely dark.

Alex had smoked the last pack of cigarettes on him, and there were cigarette butts all over the floor.

He crushed the last cigarette butt, took out his phone again and opened the address book. He has made several more phone calls, whether it is to borrow money or stay overnight, but for one reason or another, it has not been successful.

He had a feeling that he had nowhere to go, and he even thought of giving up on himself, he could just fall asleep and stand under the bridge, and it would keep out the rain, but it was a bit noisy. In summer, how cool is it to feed mosquitoes. Ah……

Just when he was sarcastic and self-deprecating, the address book was pulled to the beginning of G by him.

The name "Guo Zhi" came into his sight just like that.

Sister Guo is not someone who has nothing to do with hanging, we two, anyway... a fight, if you have anything to do in the future, you come to me.

Miss Guo...

Alex stared at Guo Zhi's name for a long time, then pressed the dial, it rang for a long time, but no one answered.

Of course Alex didn't know that Guo Zhi set his phone on silent in the movie theater. He just felt anxious. When a person is desperate, if he finds a piece of rice rough, he subconsciously wants to grab it tightly.

Alex put the phone back in his pocket, stood up and patted his butt, reaching for a taxi.

He was very lucky. On the side of the road outside Guo Zhijia's community, he met the aunts who had just finished their square dance.He greeted him all the way: "Aunt Cao, Aunt Zhang, Aunt Liu... Aunt Sun... Aunt Sun, Aunt Sun! When I go with you, I don't have a door card..."

He followed Auntie Sun, who lived on the 5th floor, into the building door. In front of Guo Zhi's house, he gathered up his courage and knocked on the door.No one has been driving, and it seems that there is no movement in the house, Guo Zhi seems to have not returned home.

He sat down a little slumped on the ground, and the courage that he had just mustered was dissipated.He was in a daze, not knowing how to speak to her when Guo Zhi came back.

She said there was something to call her, but he wasn't really an ignorant child, he knew that kind of words... more polite, just casual words.

Guo Zhi was not willing to sleep with him, how could he let her take him in?

If she refused to take him in, he would really have to go to sleep under the Lijiāo bridge.
