The white car slowly stopped at the busiest part of the city, and the sound of dragging brakes seemed to show how reluctant the owner of the car was at the moment.
However, the woman in the passenger seat unfastened her seat belt with a smile on her face and turned to say goodbye, "Then I'll get out of the car first. You should hurry over."
Gu mohan frowned discontentedly and muttered, "Just a little further ahead. There's a bus stop 500 meters away. I'll put you down there and you can walk less."
Ye zhi coincidentally rubbed his hair with a stifled smile and refused, "No, there are too many people passing by there. Your car is too conspicuous and will be recognized."
"Then I'll change the car next time!" Gu mohan was still struggling.
Ye zhiqiao helplessly tilted her head. She looked around and stepped out of the car. She waved at gu mohan, who was full of resentment, and then strode towards the gu building.
Early monday morning, the scene was full of vitality. Most of the people who went to the gu's building were in a hurry. Only ye zhiqiao walked steadily and unhurriedly.
But even though she was calm on the surface, it was impossible not to be nervous. Ye zhiqiao was discovered early in her design and interviewed more people than she did. Moreover, the company in front of her was still her boyfriend's home. This feeling... Hmm... Was very similar to the first time she met her future mother-in-law.
Although she did not leave any good memories when she met her parents.
Standing in front of the company building, she closed her eyes and took a few deep breaths before pushing the door and entering.
The girls at the front desk were dressed much more elegantly than the average company, and they could tell the whole level of the company at first glance. Seeing ye zhiqiao coming over, the girl nodded at her with a professional smile and asked politely, "Hello, may I help you?"
The girl was very good at looking at people's faces. Usually, the guests who came to gu's head office to discuss cooperation would make an appointment in advance, and there would be special people to meet with any senior management. If they came at the last moment, most of them would come to the front desk to ask, and the front desk would have to communicate with each other. She asked if ye zhiqiao needed help, obviously to see that she was not here to talk about cooperation.
Ye zhiqiao was not. She was here to report.
"Hello, what floor is the sales manager's office on? I'm going to report there."
The girl nodded and made a gesture in the direction of the elevator. She replied, "The sales department is on the eighth floor of the company. You can take this elevator up. The manager's office is in the staff's office. You can see it inside."
"Okay, thank you." Ye zhiqiao smiled and thanked her. She was about to walk towards the elevator when a woman suddenly walked towards her.
The woman greeted the front desk and then said to ye zhiqiao, "Are you new to the sales department? Follow me. Your manager asked me to take you there."
Ye zhiqiao was stunned and looked at her confusedly.
The girl at the front desk explained, "This sister is the company's receptionist. Just follow her."
"Oh." Ye zhiqiao agreed and followed the woman to the elevator.
Just then, an elevator came down. Ye zhiqiao reached out to press the button, but the woman stopped her, "No, follow me."
Ye zhiqiao asked in puzzlement, "Aren't we going to the eighth floor?"
The woman answered as she walked around the corner on the first floor, "It's the eighth floor, but your manager asked you to bring something up. Come with me to the storeroom first."
"What do you want?" The woman walked briskly in seven or eight centimeters heels, and ye zhiqiao had to trot to keep up.
The woman turned around and glanced at her without answering.
As a newcomer, ye zhi coincidentally didn't understand many of the rules in the company, so she had to shut her mouth and quietly follow her.
The storeroom was on the far side of the first floor, and the entrance was not very spacious. The dilapidated iron door did not fit in with the modern office space, and it was a little dark at 8 am in summer.
As the woman opened the door, ye zhiqiao poked her head and looked inside, but she could only see a long passageway. There were many things in it. At the end of the passageway, there was a window less than one square meter. There seemed to be an iron fence on it, and there were shadows in the middle of the light.
"Come in."
The woman's sudden voice startled ye zhiqiao, who was still in a daze. When she realized it, she quickly stepped into the room.
"Sister..." Ye zhiqiao didn't know what she called her, so she called her sister obediently, "Is this storeroom still in use? Why does it smell like mold?"
Ye zhiqiao was inside and the woman was outside. The moment they looked at each other, ye zhiqiao suddenly felt something was wrong.
Before she could ask, the woman had quickly closed the iron door. With a "Click" sound, the room suddenly became darker.
Ye zhiqiao was startled and jumped on the door and shouted, "Sister?! Sister! What are you doing? Why are you keeping me here?! Let me out!! Help!!!"
She screamed and screamed for a long time. During that time, she tried to hit the iron door with her hands and hit it with a hard object, but it didn't work. It was impossible for her to break through the iron door by herself, and she gradually recalled that she had never met anyone on the way over. That was to say, there was no one working around the "Warehouse" and no one would pass by. No one would hear her even if she broke her throat.
As time went on, the dark and unfamiliar environment gradually deepened the destruction of her will. She kept talking to herself and told herself to calm down. This was just a way for others to deal with her. Perhaps this was only the first time. In the future, there will be more such situations, even more sinister than now. Since she decided to accept the test, she must be strong!
She clenched her fists and looked around with wide eyes, hoping to find an escape route.
Sure enough, there was no lack of effort. When she calmed down to observe the iron gate again, she found a few centimeters gap on the side of the iron gate with the iron bolt. Her hand must not be able to reach it, but with the help of tools, she should be able to open the iron bolt.
This discovery was a great surprise to her because she was in a warehouse, or an abandoned warehouse, with iron nails and wires.
After rummaging around on a dusty shelf, she immediately found a nail of the right length and size.
She stuck the nail out along the gap by the door and slid it on the latch, feeling the time passing by, until her palm was covered with a layer of sticky sea water. Finally...
The bolt is open!
