Although the empire has encountered a big crisis, Li Yu still has to get off work when the time comes.
Moreover, he went to a tailor shop after get off work and picked up a suit ordered more than 20 days ago.
The tailor recommended to him by Hephaestus was a very young girl, who looked to be only three or four years older than him.
The tailoring profession places great value on experience, so Li Yugang was a little hesitant when he met Gu Anan.
But later Gu Anan used practical actions to dispel Li Yu's doubts.
She didn't even need to use a measuring tape. She just asked Li Yu to take off his coat and he could accurately report the size of each part by visual inspection.
Moreover, materials and styles were recommended based on Li Yu’s face shape, body shape, budget and usage occasions.
In the end, Li Yu spent 16,000 yuan to order this pure wool suit with single-breasted buttons, peak lapels, and waist design.
After getting the ready-made clothes back, Li Yu tried them on and found that the effect was indeed excellent. It was not comparable to the ordinary ready-made clothes he had bought online before.
Gu Anan took two steps back, looked at his masterpiece, and was very satisfied, "Wearing the clothes I made to attend the annual meeting will definitely not embarrass you."
"Thank you." Li Yu paid the balance.
"You're welcome." Gu Anan pushed up the monocle on his face, "You will make your trip tonight worthwhile."
Li Yu was a little surprised when he heard this, "Are you saying that as a courtesy or..."
"I'm serious. Every third-generation employee who has attended the annual meeting will feel so."
"I haven't told you which company I work for, right? How do you know I'm from the Third Age?" Li Yu asked.
"Oh, don't worry, I also worked there." Gu An'an said, "After that, I came out to work alone. Otherwise, why do you think Hephaestus would recommend you to come to me to make clothes? This can be regarded as coming from a former colleague.
Take care of me."
Li Yu nodded, "May I ask why you resigned?"
"Um?"
"The working environment and salary of the third generation are quite good."
"Oh, they paid me a lot of money, and I don't have to work overtime, which is really good." Gu An'an said, "But personally, I don't really care about those beliefs, interdimensional travel, etc.
cold.
"This store originally belonged to my grandfather. I lived with him since I was a child and learned my tailoring skills from him. Later, he died. In order to keep the store open, I resigned and came back to take over."
"Did your resignation process go smoothly?"
"Well, I signed a confidentiality agreement or something, and then the handover was normal. Maybe it's because I was just a small accountant there and there was nothing irreplaceable." Gu An'an said.
"Really? Then I wish you a prosperous business."
"That's not necessary, I don't like to work so hard," Gu An'an said, "It's good to take a few orders from time to time like this. It's good to just fish for it. Anyway, my grandfather has already bought this store, so I don't have to."
Pay rent."
Li Yu thought for a while and took out a contract from his backpack, "If you want to fish after death, you can sign your name on this, and maybe I can take you to another dimension.
"
"Hey, does the company still have such a business? It sounds pretty good."
Gu Anan took the contract and glanced at it a few times, but did not sign it, but returned it to Li Yu.
"Thank you, but no need. You may find it a bit strange, but there are indeed people like that in this world."
"What kind of person?"
"He's the kind of very old-fashioned guy who thinks that if you die, you should stay dead." Gu Anan put his hands in his pockets.
"Are you like this?"
"I don't know, but I think death is also a very romantic thing, because no one can tell what it will be like after death, so I thought of taking a look myself.
"Of course, it's possible that there is nothing and that you are completely dead, but this makes people feel inexplicably relaxed. After all, you have lived a lifetime, and it would be nice to sleep peacefully."
"So you don't want to go to another world after death?"
"uh-huh."
"I understand." Li Yu glanced at the Blancpain Fifty Fathoms on his wrist, "It's almost time, I should go."
"If you need to make clothes next time, you are welcome to come to me again. I can give you a discount from a former colleague, 50% off."
Li Yu just went downstairs in his new suit, came to the three-series parked on the roadside, opened the door and got in.
18:15, there is a traffic jam right now. Fortunately, the annual meeting will not start until 9pm, so Li Yu still has time to rush outside the Fifth Ring Road.
He ordered the navigation, turned on the radio, and listened to the latest news while driving.
After a few white noises such as a certain leader attending a certain meeting, the broadcast began to enter the international news segment.
There was a piece of news that caught Li Yu's attention. It was about the recent rise in beef prices due to emergencies in a certain place.
Li Yu listened silently and switched the radio station to the music channel.
…………
Han Bin parked his Magotan under a locust tree, turned off the engine, and then took out a telescope from the back seat.
Looking towards the villa in the distance.
This private estate named Hongye is located halfway up a hill and covers an area of more than 1.6 hectares.
Even in City B, where the rich and powerful gather, it is definitely one of the top luxury houses.
However, there is not much information available online about this manor. No one knows who its owner is or what it looks like inside.
What Han Bin could see was that there were quite a few security guards at the door, and at first glance, they were not the kind of flower displays at the door of an ordinary community. Most of them should be retired soldiers, and they were veterans.
The patrol routes and timing are well arranged, in other words it is almost impossible to sneak in.
However, the more things went like this, the more Han Bin felt that there was something wrong with the third era.
Why would a company have such a big fuss and deploy such tight security at its annual meeting? Those who didn't know it would have thought that all the important people coming tonight would be some kind of national dignitary.
In addition, the mysterious owner behind Hongye Villa may also have something to do with the Third Age.
To be honest, Han Bin was a little scared when he found out here. The background of the opposite party was obviously not simple, and he was just the captain of a small criminal police detachment.
Neither his superiors nor his subordinates understood why he insisted on clinging to this extremely clean company with no criminal record at all.
Han Bin sometimes felt that he was a stubborn idiot. His old boss even hinted to him that if he wanted him to return his focus to his own work, he would be promoted to a foreign exchange next year.
But thinking about the eleven-year-old girl named Tang Mengjia and her missing body, Han Bin just couldn't make up his mind to leave this matter alone.
And he has started to have more and more frequent nightmares recently, all of which revolve around the end of the world.
Those dreams... they are so real.
Han Bin went to see a psychiatrist and registered as a specialist, but the experts only attributed this to his excessive work pressure and irregular work and rest.
He was prescribed some medicine to help calm his mind, but as a criminal police officer, Han Bin naturally didn't like these potentially addictive things, so he put them aside without taking them.
But in the past few days, his head has even begun to hurt, and his eyes have become a blur, and he feels as if his head has been forcibly pressed into the pool.
No matter how hard he struggled, he couldn't raise his head. He wanted to scream in his dream, but when he opened his mouth, he only spit out a bunch of bubbles.
