Chapter 1: The Office's Unspoken Rules...
"It's also true that we don't bother with those superficial projects. Others give us money, and we can still push it outwards, but Master, you're treating tonight?"
"Good, but let's save people first."
Yang Zongbao saw that people had already slid out of the emergency exit on the troubled Airbus one after another. The director had passed by, and Yang Zongbao and Zhou Yi followed soon after.
The time spent was much longer than Yang Zongbao and his team had imagined. Fortunately, there were not many casualties, just a few fractures caused by being hit in the waiting room, and on the Airbus, two captains died on the spot, and one flight attendant died on the way to the hospital.
Yang Zongbao and the others followed the other ambulances back to the hospital, where they participated in the rescue efforts. By the time they left the hospital, it was already the second half of the night, but he still hadn't seen Su Xiaomei, and didn't know where she had gone.
"Master, I'm dying, give me some food." Zhou Yi was about to die behind him.
"Let's go to the convenience store and get something to eat." Yang Zongbao said, then turned into a 24-hour convenience store on the side of the road, got two bowls of instant noodles, two fish cakes, and shared them with Zhou Yi. The convenience store also provided hot water and tables and chairs, so they could finish eating before going home.
"Master, it's so late and my brother will scold me to death. Anyway, you have a place rented outside, let me crash there for the night. Don't worry about it, I can even sleep in the bathroom."
"What? Why did your brother mention you?" Yang Zongbao was somewhat embarrassed, his house was too shabby.
"I didn't know that kid, as long as he's not on duty, likes to read books in the living room. As soon as he sees me, he wants to recite, you know I have no status at home. I don't dare argue with him." Zhou Yiyu whispered: "The school is too far away, if we go back like this, how long can I still sleep?"
"Alright." Yang Zongbao reluctantly agreed to this rubber check.
"Master, you won't be working as a security guard here at night, will you?" Zhou Yi followed Yang Zongbao into the Xianglong Building and said. Because no matter how he looked at Yang Zongbao, he didn't seem like someone who could afford to live in a place like this.
But when Yang Zongbao took the elevator to the top floor and opened the door, he was completely stunned.
"I said, Master, you're not some rich family's young master, are you? This house is too extravagant." Zhou Yi touched this and that as soon as he entered the room. Yang Zongbao ignored him and put the things he bought into the refrigerator. He thought to himself, such a big refrigerator wastes electricity, and the electricity bill is no small amount either. When people are poor, anything can happen.
"No, can you little kid be quieter?"
"Oh."
Zhou Yi went to take a bath first. Yang Zongbao could hear Zhou Yi making a big fuss in the bathroom from time to time.
"Wow."
"How advanced."
"My goodness, so high-end."
“……”
Deng Zhouyi finally stopped tormenting Yang Zongbao's ears, and only then did Yang Zongbao pick up his clothes and enter the bathroom.
There is a bathtub, but for Yang Zongbao it's just a waste, he hastily took a shower and returned to the living room, where Zhou Yi was already watching football.
Fortunately, the sound of football was not so unbearable. Yang Zongbao entered the study room, opened the computer and started watching videos of Stanford University's urological surgery. Not having a computer didn't mean Yang Zongbao couldn't use one. In his university days, he had attended every computer class without fail and even obtained a level 3 computer certificate upon graduation.
"Master, can you understand?" Zhou Yi didn't know when he had quietly walked up behind Yang Zongbao.
"Uh-huh, alright." Yang Zongbao's implication was that Zhou Yi, if nothing's wrong, should scram and not disturb himself.
"Watching Master being so serious, I feel like I'm useless. I'll come and read books too." Zhou Yi really picked up a book from the bookshelf with his hand. But when he lifted it up, he couldn't put it down. What kind of books are these? The purely English ones are fine, at least I understand some of them, but what's this? Unseen, unheard of, completely incomprehensible.
"Master, don't you have any textbooks?" Zhou Yi finally made a desperate cry.
"No, I'll go get it. I think the textbook is too expensive."
After hearing Yang Zongbao's answer, Zhou Yi sneered. Living in such a house, he still cares about that little book money? His own master is indeed a top-notch hypocrite.
"This house is not mine, it's someone else's. I'm just borrowing it to live in, don't think too much about it. All the books on this shelf were bought directly from foreign medical schools online. But the old ones have been thrown away, these are all new ones that someone got for me, you can take a look if you want." Yang Zongbao pulled out an English version of "Physiology" from the top: "This is MIT's textbook, it will be beneficial for you to start reading it now."
"But my English..."
"It's still easy to look up one or two words now." Yang Zongbao waved his hand, meaning to ask Zhou Yi to go out.
Zhou Yi was driven out with a book and fell asleep on the sofa after reading for a while.
Yang Zongbao can finally focus on watching videos after sending that plague god away. This strap was hard to find, and it's finally usable.
Yang Zongbao likes to sit on a wooden bench when reading or studying. Because the wooden bench has no place to lean on, people will not easily become lazy, even if they are alone, they can still sit upright, it's just a habit.
The video was halfway through when the QQ image flickered for a moment.
Yang Zongbao rarely logs into QQ, and there are only a few contacts inside, including several university classmates and a few nominal senior brothers and sisters.
"Hi, Xiao Yangzi." After the other party requested a video call, a blond handsome guy suddenly popped up on the computer screen.
"George." Yang Zongbao was quite helpless towards the blond handsome guy.
"Xiao Yangzi, you're so cold towards Shixiong, it's really heartbreaking. In your words, that's 'liking the new and loathing the old'."
The other party spoke in broken and unrefined Chinese, making Yang Zongbao's ears feel like they were covered in goosebumps.
"Alright, get to the point." Yang Zongbao said impatiently, really didn't know where George learned so many internet slang.
"Xiao Yangzi, brother here still has many hospital video tapes, do you want them?" The blond big brother on the computer screen now looks really perverted.
"I want to." Yang Zongbao said, gritting his teeth.
"Xiao Yangzi, you finally said yes, that's great! Cuiwei and I made a bet on who could get you to say yes first. Okay, now pass it on and take good care of it. By the way, give me a call and keep in touch."
"13 o'clock. I'm busy sending offline files."
Yang Zongbao coolly turned off the video and accepted the uploaded file. 2G is a bit slow, but it's bearable.
"A rose-headed avatar's QQ number flashed."
Yang Zongbao thought for a moment and still opened it.
"In."
"Why haven't you been online for a long time?"
"Busy."
"When will you come over?"
"No money."
"Rabbit son, your goddess has also arrived."
“She... took me to greet her.”
"You little brat never tells the truth, just stir up trouble at home, don't make me come collect your corpse later."
“……”
The rose head has fallen off.
Yang Zongbao looked at the QQ with few friends, using Jimmy's cartoon as his avatar, and hadn't opened it for a long time. He finally went offline.
Yang Zongbao had just gone online when he received a harassing phone call.
Yang Zongbao took a look at the phone number, which exceeded 11 digits. He picked it up and listened, only to be met with a barrage of gunfire on the other end.
"Rabbit kid, you've got a thick skin, dare to give me attitude?"
"But you've already logged off." Yang Zongbao explained with difficulty.
"Nonsense. I went offline to test you, and with an attitude like that, you still want to be my leader? Impossible."
"Elder sister Hawthorn, you're overthinking."
"Who cares, I'm giving you the chance to be my concubine because I think highly of you, but you're ungrateful and don't know your luck. Don't defy me, or I'll have your goddess sister executed on the spot."
"Sister, you're a woman after all."
"What's wrong with women? Can't women just be themselves? What law says that women can't be like this? According to statistics, 20% of people in this world are bisexual. Let me tell you, don't push me too hard, or I'll do whatever it takes."
"Sister, spare me, this small body of mine is not enough for you to gnaw on." Yang Zongbao was helpless against the stormy and violent Rose.
"Oh, you've grown bold, huh? You know how to talk back now? Just you wait!"
As soon as the phone hung up, Yang Zongbao was scared out of his wits. That guy was capable of doing anything. He remembered that when they first met, he declared himself to be hers and even stripped himself naked in front of everyone, causing irreparable damage to his young mind. Fortunately, his spirit was strong enough, otherwise he might have contracted a mental illness related to the male reproductive system.
Suddenly, Yang Zongbao felt a chill on his back and quickly turned around to see no one there. Fortunately, he was in China; if he were in that country, it's uncertain whether Rose would appear behind him the moment the phone hung up. His past bloody history had trained Yang Zongbao's instincts like those of a wild animal.
Nothing was done tonight. Rubbed a bit of sore eyes, walked out of the study, ready to find something to eat and sleep.
As soon as he came out of the study, he saw Zhou Yi holding a stethoscope against the wall shared with the living room and other households.
"What are you doing?" It turns out that a medical stethoscope can have such a great use, this is the essential weapon for listening to walls and corners.
"Wow, Master, that's amazing!" Zhou Yi exclaimed, waving his arms wildly, unable to contain his excitement.
"What's this thing?" Yang Zongbao was feeling a bit down at this time, so he also needed to find something to stimulate himself.
"Good stuff."
Zhou Yituo handed the stethoscope to Yang Zongbao.
Yang Zongbao took it and listened. Probably the soundproofing effect was too strong. Only with a stethoscope could he barely hear the sounds of the action movie coming from the other side, but this action movie seemed to have some meaning. The woman's screams were miserable, her voice was hoarse.
"Master won't take his life, will he?" Zhou Yi said with some concern. This kid saw death this morning and the shadow probably hasn't dissipated yet.
"Why would someone lose their life? Maybe what's good for others is just this mouthful. You'll only disturb them if you go."
"Master, I've seen this kind of thing many times in private, usually it's consensual and enjoyable for both parties. But listen to this, it's absolutely a murder scene. It's just that the walls of this house are thicker, if it were another house, it would have shaken the heavens." Zhou Yi finished speaking and found Master looking at him strangely, so he quickly explained: "Don't look at me like that, I'm not that kind of person, which man hasn't seen it? Ah, Master, where are you going?"
Zhou Yi saw Yang Zongbao walking out and hastily asked.
"Aren't you worried? Go and take a look." Yang Zongbao knew that Zhou Yi had encountered such a big thing today, and if this matter was not resolved tonight, if that woman really died, Zhou Yi would be haunted by guilt for the rest of his life, and his medical skills would come to an end.
"Ah?" Zhou Yi didn't think that his master would really go knock on the door, and before he could stop him, Yang Zongbao had already pressed someone else's doorbell. Zhou Yi could only reluctantly follow along.
The doorbell rang for a long time, but no one came to open the door inside.
"Never mind."
