After the Lantern Festival, Mei Qian himself became more independent, and his serialized novels were getting better and better, but apart from updating the novels more frequently, he didn't have much other work.
Looking at it this way, one author has two assistants. Among the three people, he is the busiest boss, but writing is something that no one else can do.
Maomao was far away and he couldn't move, so he could only pretend that it was still the Chinese New Year.
As for the other one…
The floors at home were mopped to make them shine brighter, and even the rarely used range hood was mopped three times a week.
In the end, Ning Chi couldn't help but persuade her eldest brother to go out and relax, so as not to stay at home and get sick.
Mei Qian raised his eyebrows and wanted to ask the other party if he was serious about relaxing. Unfortunately, he was interrupted by a phone call.
It was police officer Zhang Yu who I hadn’t seen for several days. He was recovering at home. He asked in a low voice on the phone when the promised meal would be fulfilled!
It’s your turn to treat me to dinner, okay! Mei Qian complained, but she couldn’t tell Zhang Yu clearly that she saved his life, because others wouldn’t believe it!
Thinking that after getting to know each other and just eating each other, it was time to return the invitation. I also guessed that Zhang Yu might be tired of eating nutritious meals at home, and now that he had nothing to do, he immediately decided to have a meal for noon.
The place was chosen by Zhang Yu, and it was not far from both houses.
Mei Qian said hello to Ning Chi and left without driving.
"Quick, quick, order first!" Zhang Yu came to the private restaurant that he had made an appointment with Mei Qian. When he sat down, he took off his coat and shouted in his mouth.
Mei Qian asked curiously: "Are you in a hurry?" He handed over the menu.
"Hi! I have to go back in two hours." Zhang Yu explained, taking the menu, quickly ordering two dishes, and then asked: "I can drink on vacation, why don't we order some?"
"But you were on sick leave!" Mei Qian sighed.
"The wounds have healed. I'll go to work the day after tomorrow. If I don't drink, I won't have a chance." Zhang Yu patted his abdomen, checked the dishes he wanted to eat, handed them to the waiter, and asked for a beer: "Change the beer glass!"
He ordered again.
After a while, beer and cups were served first.
Zhang Yu couldn't wait to open two bottles, and each took one bottle. He filled it up first, bumped it with Mei Qian's wine glass, and then drank it down.
"You should take it easy." Mei Qian only took a sip and saw that the beer glass opposite was mostly full. She was startled and reminded her hurriedly.
There is no way, Zhang Yu has just been injured, others can not take life seriously, but he can't. Even if the injury is healed, drinking like this is not good for the body!
"You also know that I don't allow you to drink at work. It's rare that I still take care of it at home during my vacation." Zhang Yu put down the cup, exhaled a long breath, and said bitterly: "This time, I came out and found an excuse to take a bath. So.
He said, it is better to go to work than to rest!"
No wonder I have to go back in two hours...
Mei Qian had no choice but to ask again: "Aren't you afraid that your colleagues will complain to your sister-in-law?"
Zhang Yu curled his lips and said, "Lend them two courage." Then he sighed again: "There has been no movement for such a long time. It's time for our people to withdraw. Please be careful in the future!"
Mei Qian nodded immediately. Ever since he came out of the detention center, he knew that he was being watched.
Regarding this, Zhang Yu did not hide it. He told it bluntly when eating hot pot that day.
After all, there was a big case like the KB attack before, and someone actually wanted to kill Mei Qian afterwards. Of course, the police had to make arrangements.
Mei Qian felt that it didn't matter, and there was nothing to be afraid of. No matter whether the other party was really here to protect his safety, or they were monitoring his movements. He had made up his mind to keep a low profile and go out as little as possible. Anyway, if there were too many lice, he would not bite them, and he was still afraid of a few more people.
Follow?
But he hid it really well. He clearly felt like he was being watched. After careful observation, he didn't find anything unusual. It can only be said that the police are indeed very experienced.
Zhang Yu ate a piece of food with chopsticks, then filled the cup and took a big gulp.
Mei Qian frowned: "If you come home smelling like alcohol, won't your sister-in-law find out?"
"I just said that when I met an acquaintance on the road, he dragged me and refused to let me go. He wanted me to take a sip." Zhang Yu replied with a smile: "I didn't wash it off this time. I will probably come out tomorrow. I'll call you then and let's go take a bath.
City drinks."
Mei Qian: "...Just don't mention me today!"
Listen, he has already made excuses, what else can he say?
So he raised his glass, touched it with Zhang Yu, and started drinking too.
What surprised him was that despite his high physical fitness, he couldn't drink as much as Ning Chi. Even Zhang Yu in front of him couldn't drink.
Mainly because he couldn't fill the bottle as fast as he could. He put down the second empty bottle, and the fourth one on the opposite side had already bottomed out, but the dishes didn't go down much.
After waving and asking again, the pace finally slowed down this time, and the two of them started chatting more.
Unknowingly, after drinking a few more bottles, Zhang Yu was obviously not enjoying himself to the fullest. When he was about to get another drink, his cell phone suddenly rang.
"Hello? Daughter-in-law, um, I'll be back right away." Zhang Yu made a silent gesture and picked up, and then dealt with it softly.
After hanging up the phone, he raised his head and drank the remaining half bottle of wine into his stomach. He stood up and started to put on his coat.
"It's time to go back. Eat slowly," he said.
"Okay!" Mei Qian couldn't bear to force him, so he could only nod.
"By the way..." Zhang Yu, who had put on his coat, seemed to suddenly think of something, and turned to look at him with a smile: "Don't let me splash paint on someone else's house next time. They didn't call the police, but it will be reported to the property management
, or the property management department sent someone to clean it up. Do you think you, a great writer, deserve to be in trouble with others?"
Mei Qian opened her mouth to say something, but the other party hurriedly left after finishing speaking.
It's not fun to drink alone, so Mei Qian ordered a bowl of rice, filled his stomach haphazardly, paid the bill and left.
When I got to the street, I suddenly recalled the scene where Zhang Yu was hurriedly taking a taxi on the side of the road. I also thought of how he usually searched, and I couldn't help but sigh.
Fortunately, he still occasionally has the idea of getting married and settling down, but looking at Zhang Yu's virtue, he will have to play for a few more years!
Although he drank in a hurry, after all, he only drank a few bottles of beer, Mei Qian was only slightly tipsy at the moment, so there was no need to take a taxi, it would be just right to walk back leisurely, and the alcohol could be dissipated.
When he returned home, Ning Chi, who was rare, did not play games, but was reading the news on his tablet.
"Brother, it is said that the Xiadu subway project will be delayed, and the previously planned route has been completely abandoned."
Mei Qian was startled and hurriedly took the tablet. There was a small piece of news on it. Due to technical reasons, the previously announced subway line plan was invalidated and a new plan would be announced soon.
There are not many words in the news, just over a hundred words, but there are thousands of comments below.
The comments with the most likes made him laugh and cry instantly.
[Is this the rhythm of stopping losses in time? Mei Qian is indeed the master of tomb robbing. When he stamps his foot, the whole summer will tremble. Who else?]
[This is inevitable. If a large tomb is really dug and the project is stalled, all the initial investment will be wasted. How much will it cost? 】
[It is speculated that the Archaeological Bureau will make big moves...]
[So can the ancient tombs underground still be discovered? 】
Yes, if there is an ancient tomb underground, can it still be discovered? Mei Qian is also confused, but the matter is over. At most, this verification has no results, and there is no loss. The worst is to write another book next time.
"I thought that if we really found a big tomb this time, why wouldn't the Archaeological Bureau come and ask Brother Qian to help?" Ning Chi looked very disappointed.
Mei Qian glared at him: "What nonsense are you talking about? There are so many experts, it's my turn? Just don't let the police come first."
After thinking about it, this seems good, at least I don't have to be asked to cooperate with the investigation. Although I won't go in again, it is quite annoying to be asked questions.
But then he frowned again. The scale of the ancient tomb he wrote was extremely large. If it came true, even if the lines were changed, something would have to be dug out. It would be really exciting. But these are things for the future, and the results did not appear.
, it is useless to guess anything here.
But Ning Chi shook his head: "How can that be done? You discovered the ancient tomb, so we have to go down and have a look anyway." Co-author had an experience of going to the tomb, and he became addicted?
Mei Qian felt annoyed and immediately sent the other party out to buy fruit.
Holding the tablet in his hands, he began to browse the comments below, and logged into the official website of the Xiadu Construction Bureau, only to find that it was also flooded by troll netizens.
Before he finished reading, Ning Chi came back and put the fruit in the refrigerator.
Seeing Mei Qian lying on the sofa, he simply sat cross-legged on the carpet and said, "Brother, guess who I met at the imported supermarket?"
"Who?" Mei Qian turned around in confusion.
"That police officer Zhang Yu was picking fruits with his wife. When he first saw him, he pretended not to recognize him. It was his wife who said hello first."
"Oh!" Mei Qian's expression was calm and he continued to read the comments. You just encounter it when you encounter it. It's not a strange thing.
Seeing his reaction, Ning Chi twitched the corner of his mouth and his tone became mysterious: "I just find it strange. Officer Zhang seemed to have had a fight with someone, and there were a few bloody cuts on his face. He said he was scratched by a cat.
But I see that the wound is quite new. Weren’t you drinking before? Did you get hit because you drank too much? "
