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 be restored tomorrow?
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 wandered 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 doesn't know if his shortness is just a problem for him or if it's the same for everyone.
Perhaps just because the current magnitude of the change is too small, people regard this as an ordinary measurement error and do 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 the chat with Shen Ling yesterday.
He thought about the possibility of rats replacing humans as a new species on the earth, and began to imagine a city built by rats in his mind, and a strong sense of crisis suddenly 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 walked around and sat there 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 the disturbing thoughts, but simply let himself go and spent an hour to fantasize carefully.
If humans really become as big as mice, what will happen next, what should we do, and what should we 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, and a bunch of lighters.
Miniature high-pressure gas tank, air pump to inflate the gas tank, a lot of staples, rechargeable 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 Miyou utility knife,
USB rechargeable laser pointer, suction cup soft bullet gun, a large box of nails, miniature wooden toy Zhuge Crossbow, etc...
He spent more than 20,000 yuan on all kinds of things.
Among them, drones and mini machine tools with replaceable battery modules are the most expensive and are 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 I decided to 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 could Zhou You not know what this bitch was thinking about, so he walked over and said with a smile: "Mr. Liang, you are so polite, how can my car compare with your four laps, Mr. Liang?" 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 second-hand. It's still a gas tiger. Our business trip this time is not a bidding, it is a business that has been negotiated. , there is no need to hold up the scene. During the on-site inspection, I guess I 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 the chassis is higher. Don’t worry, the gas I'll reimburse you for the tolls and tolls to ensure you don't 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 apparent reason was that she was worried about getting sleepy after traveling long distances at night, so she wanted to sit in the front and chat with him to refresh herself. However, her true intention was tacitly understood. .
There was no trace of disappointment on Vice President Liang's face, he just said that Xiao Shen had thought carefully.
Rongcheng was a little 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 height.
He slightly raised his left wrist and shook his hand.
I feel like my sports watch, which 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 his head again and pretended to look at the rearview mirror, but in fact he looked at the top of Shen Ling's head, trying to see some differences.
Unfortunately nothing was found.
He stepped on the accelerator a little more and raised 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.
