That night Zhou You lay in bed tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep.
It's just that the error value of the height measurement was on the high side. Maybe this is just a trivial matter to most people in the world, and their attention will be diverted again after a few minutes.
After all, there is always some chance in the human body.
Maybe it will recover again tomorrow? That’s not surprising.
But Zhou You always likes to think more about things, and he has severe obsessive-compulsive disorder. He also reads a lot of books. Unfortunately, he got a perfect score in the biology course in the college entrance examination. There are also many biology courses in the university.
deal with.
So he really understands this.
The more you know, the more confusion you have.
I traveled around and meditated all night, trying to find explanations based on scientific principles, instrument errors and measurement methods.
But he failed in the end and stayed up until midnight before falling asleep.
The next morning, Zhou You got up with dark circles under his eyes.
He went to measure his height again.
171.5cm.
There was no doubt that something had happened.
Something big happened.
Even if I didn't sleep well last night, I shouldn't be like this.
Yesterday morning, I was only 0.1 cm shorter than my normal height.
But today it was directly missing by 1.4 centimeters, which is outrageous.
Sitting on the toilet with his head buzzing, Zhou You took out his cell phone and started browsing the news, trying to find some valuable information through the explosion of information.
Unfortunately, no.
Zhou You didn't know whether the shortening was a problem for him alone, or whether it was the same for everyone. It was just because the current change was too small, and people regarded it as an ordinary measurement error and did not pay attention to it.
After all, not everyone has severe obsessive-compulsive disorder like him, but also happens to care about height.
Zhou You recalled yesterday's chat with Shen Ling, and thought about the possibility of rats replacing humans as a new species on earth. He began to imagine a city built by rats, and suddenly a strong sense of crisis arose in his heart.
If I continue to become shorter and smaller, will I really become the size of a mouse?
He knew that this idea was a bit weird and too much of a persecution delusion. After all, where was this?
But he just couldn't help it.
After arriving at the company, I sat around for more than half an hour, and then I still couldn't figure it out, so I simply stopped thinking.
It's not that he suppressed his disturbing thoughts, but simply let himself go and spent hours imagining carefully what would happen next if humans really became as big as mice. What should he do?
What to do and what to prepare in advance.
Immediately afterwards, he simply launched an intensive round of large-scale purchases.
He took most of the day off, visited the Digital City, Electrical and Mechanical City, and Toy City, and bought a lot of things.
A four-axis drone, an Internet celebrity mini kitchen set, a 1:20 Gundam alloy sword, a bunch of lighters, a miniature high-pressure gas tank, an air pump to inflate the gas tank, a lot of staples, and a rechargeable shooter
Nail gun, German Seiko mini machine tool, monocrystalline silicon solar power bank, solar charging panel, children's small flashlight, women's self-defense mini electric baton, a box of compressed biscuits, two boxes of mineral water, a bundle of rope, a mini utility knife, USB charging laser
Pens, suction cup soft bullet guns, a large box of nails, miniature wooden toys Zhuge Crossbow, etc...
He spent more than 20,000 yuan on all kinds of things. Among them, drones with replacement battery modules and mini machine tools were the most expensive and were considered large items.
Zhou You feels that drones are a must-have, but mini-machine tools are not necessarily necessities. The main reason is that he doesn’t know how to use them. It’s just that when he visited the electromechanical city, he thought they might be useful. If it doesn’t work, he can still learn and sell them now. , if you use it properly, it will have miraculous effects, so you will bite the bullet and buy it.
There is no way, this is all done in a hurry, it is a kind of wild consumption prompted by too strong anxiety. I buy whatever I see and think of at the moment, without having time to make careful calculations.
…
In the underground parking garage of the toy city, Zhou You stuffed the last box into the trunk of the hybrid off-road vehicle and filled it to the brim. Seeing that it was already five o'clock in the afternoon, Xun thought it was time to get off work and planned to go back to the company to pick up Shen Ling before going home.
At this time, Shen Ling called him and asked him when he would return to the company.
After chatting for a while, Zhou You hung up with a solemn expression.
Vice President Liang of the Business Department just sent a message, saying that the relevant person in charge of the docking from Party A has returned early, so his company has also advanced the timeline.
The business trip team has to set off at six o'clock this afternoon. It takes three hours to drive to Yicheng City. It will arrive at nine o'clock in the evening and will start on-site inspection of Yicheng Paper tomorrow morning.
It was already 5:40 when I returned to the company, and I hurried upstairs to collect pens, papers, cameras, laptops and other things.
When he was collecting his things, Shen Ling came to rush him, "Old Liang is already waiting over there in the parking lot, hurry up, hurry up."
When they arrived at the parking lot, Zhou Youzheng saw Vice President Liang standing next to his car and looking up and down with great interest.
Zhou You's heart skipped a beat, and he secretly thought, "My mother, Xipi, wants to do something bad."
Sure enough, when they saw the two of them coming downstairs, Lao Liang, who was wearing a designer suit and looked good-looking, immediately waved excitedly, "Zouyou, you boy, the car is nice. Extended-range hybrid, not bad, not bad, really good. Let's do it If you are environmentally friendly, you should drive this kind of environmentally friendly car.”
How can Zhou You not know what this bitch is thinking about, but he has no choice but to walk over and say with a smile: "Mr. Liang, you're welcome, how can my car compare to Mr. Liang's four circles?" Comparatively, this is a domestic no-name brand with a tough chassis, poor handling, no brand name, and is useless except for fuel efficiency."
Vice President Liang waved his hand, "Don't be modest. My old A8 looks like a bluff. In fact, it's worth 200,000 when bought second hand. It's still a gas tiger. Our business trip this time is not a bidding, it has been negotiated. For business, you don’t need to support the scene. When doing on-site inspections, you will probably have to travel around the Yicheng Paper Industry. There are many farmers and mountain roads, which always waste gas. It is more suitable to drive your car off-road. It is fuel-efficient and low-cost, and has a higher chassis. Don’t worry. , I will reimburse you for the gas expenses and tolls to ensure that you do not suffer any loss."
Zhou You secretly rolled his eyes, feeling convinced.
Save some oil.
When you pay the bill, you settle the bill based on the mileage of your poor-oil tiger A8, and then you settle the bill for me based on my hybrid small SUV, and you still get the 110 kilometers of pure electric range that I fill up every day for nothing. Earn three hundred.
This does not include maintenance fees, and maintenance fees are not reimbursed.
To call you a beast is to promote the beast.
Even beasts have to call you daddy when they see you.
Although his heart was filled with resentment, Zhou You still couldn't object. Who said this guy was neither big nor small?
But he also thought that the trunk was now filled with ballast stones.
Just relying on the large amount of heavy goods prepared for a rainy day can burn a lot more oil, allowing Vice President Liang to eat less of the price difference, which is somewhat of a consolation prize.
When getting on the bus, before Vice President Liang could arrange the seats, Shen Ling sat directly on the passenger seat. The reason on the surface was that she was worried about getting sleepy after traveling long distances at night, so she sat in the front and chatted with him to refresh herself, but secretly she didn't understand. Announced.
There was no trace of disappointment on Vice President Liang's face, he just said that Xiao Shen had thought carefully.
Rongcheng was a bit congested in the evening, but luckily it was midsummer, the longest day of sunshine in the year, so it was only seven o'clock when the three of them left the city and got on the highway, and the sun had not yet set.
The car was traveling from north to south, and the slanting light of the setting sun shone through the passenger window.
Zhou You looked at the seemingly endless stretch of highway, but his mind had no intention of thinking about Yicheng Paper. Instead, he subconsciously thought of his own height.
He raised his left wrist slightly and shook his hand.
I feel like a sports watch that was originally very suitable for me feels a little loose.
I don’t know if it’s a psychological effect or if it’s real.
Zhou You turned around and pretended to look in the rearview mirror, but in fact he looked at the top of Shen Ling's head, trying to see some difference.
Unfortunately nothing was found.
He stepped on the accelerator a little more, raising the speed to 138 kilometers per hour, barely below the speed limit of 144 kilometers per hour.
He planned to arrive at the hotel in Yicheng before nine o'clock in the evening no matter what, and then find a nearby drugstore to have his height measured.
