Chapter 927 Cat’s Enemy

They entered the office 10 minutes before going to work.Nan Mingguang is not at the headquarters today, going to see an old friend who works in the government.The finance department and Luo Binhan looked after the reception of the audit team.At five minutes past nine, Xiao Rong walked into Luo Binhan's office with his computer in hand and came to show him the draft of the improvement opinions on the internal control charter revised by the Finance Department.

On Luo Binhan's table were several boxes of desserts he received during the road show.He gave her the cake and bagels and asked her to taste them with her colleagues in the finance department and see if they could be added to next quarter's purchase list.There was also a large box of wine-filled chocolates. He felt that the meaning was inappropriate, so he put it away and waited to give it back to Shi Qi.

Xiao Rong was not polite to him.They have become familiar with each other in this month, and there is no need to talk in roundabout ways.After experiencing several tactful hints from Nan Mingguang, she finally reluctantly wore a semi-casual women's shirt and a pair of particularly loose suit trousers. She resolutely refused to put on makeup or change her hairstyle, taking advantage of others' unpreparedness. Sometimes you have to wrap up your sports coat in the air-conditioned room.

Her inattentive and perfunctory style left Nan Mingguang at a loss.Luo Binhan was secretly very happy, but he usually pretended that he didn't notice anything.He had legitimate reasons to keep Xiao Rong, because she did a good job. She had some common problems among newcomers at first, but there were no major mistakes.She is also nosy, and her lack of skill in speaking can sometimes cause trouble, but sometimes it can be quite reassuring.Luo Binhan especially felt the passage of time and generational changes in her. He was indeed getting older, so he would chat with her from time to time and study the thoughts of the new generation.Sometimes he also suspects that this may not be a problem of generation gap, but just a difference in living environment.Xiao Rong is like someone who has escaped from another world. Even the lunch she brought to the company was cooked for her by her mother.

The draft for improvement of the internal control charter did not contain much content, and they quickly went through it one by one.At this time, there was still half an hour before the entry time agreed with the audit team, so they chatted with nothing to do.Xiao Rong likes to go to the yoga studio to dance a kind of fitness dance that tests flexibility. She knows a lot about exercise and joint care.She is also an avid TV series watcher, watching both classic old and new dramas. She has a wealth of anecdotes about celebrities from all walks of life.

Luo Binhan didn't understand this part.He doesn't watch TV dramas much, not to mention that he will retire from this world in two and a half years.Shi Qi didn't seem to like watching movies much either. All they could talk about were the old movies they watched on the movie channel when they were kids.She has a hat that is modeled after the wide-brimmed hat with ribbons in "Breakfast at Tiffany's", but the decoration is not so exaggerated.However, she did tell him about some actors her brother liked, all of whom were relatively famous nowadays.Her brother was also in the new media industry, so Luo Binhan thought it would be a good idea to save some conversation materials first so as to avoid being stuck in conversation when they meet in the future.

He asked Xiao Rong if she had a favorite star or what kind of style she liked.Her answer was not very surprising to him: to be good-looking, it is best to have fair skin and a tall head, have regular facial features, speak politely, and not be too aggressive.

"Ah," Luo Binhan said, "So, you like Butterboy."

He himself thought it was a neutral word, but Xiao Rong seemed dissatisfied and seemed to think the word was contemptuous.She argued that this was a cute and refreshing boy-next-door route, and Luo Binhan couldn't help but glance at Luo Jiayang.The latter was sitting on the sofa in the corner, very indifferent to their small talk.He could feel that Luo Jiayang was quite hostile to Xiao Rong, which was normal. His cousin didn't like any peers who could smile all day long.

"So this is your standard for finding a partner?" He asked Xiaorong in a joking tone. Now they are familiar enough to occasionally touch on this kind of topic. "If you want to talk to a partner, you also plan to talk to someone like this." Really?"

"Then I have to add one rule: don't smoke." Xiao Rong said, "You can't let me inhale second-hand smoke."

"What about playing games? Would you be happy if he played games all day long?"

"As long as it doesn't delay the business. But I feel like I can't get along with people who don't like sports. We don't have anything in common."

"It's not easy to find. You have to be gentle and beautiful, love sports, and be non-aggressive. I think it would be good for you to have a little white cat. It doesn't need to be shaved."

Luo Binhan laughed loudly, and Xiaorong kicked the air in protest.At this time Lu Jin came in, completely turning a blind eye to the situation in the office. He told Luo Binhan that the people from the audit team had arrived and were meeting with Lingfan in the conference room vacated by the Finance Department.

"Then let's go too." Luo Binhan said, taking a few business cards from the table.He also didn't forget to call Luo Jiayang and ask him to identify the people in the audit team for possible temporary pick-ups in the future.When he went downstairs and entered the elevator, Lu Jin began to explain to him the team members who came this time. Thirteen people came first this time, five of whom were older and were the partners and managers who led the team.Among the other eight people, five are women and three are men. They are all young and it is difficult to judge their level, but it is estimated that half of them are interns or newcomers.

The elevator door opened, and the alluring aroma of milk tea came in. It was probably a soothing product prepared by the people in the finance department in advance for working overtime tonight.The bright sun shines in through the glass window, dividing the entire corridor into a row of diamond-shaped yellow brick roads.The dazzling golden color floating on the marble surface reminded Luo Binhan of the fact that Dorothy in the fairy tale walked on such a beautiful road from the Little People to the Emerald City to meet the titular magician.In fact, his university teacher once said that the "yellow brick road" is a political metaphor, implying that the gold standard can lead to the right path.But at this moment, Luo Binhan felt that he was far away from political or economic problems. He and three others were walking on the road of dreams, and their footsteps were as clear as a jade hammer hitting a stone.

Isn't this bad?He whispered in his heart that myth had broken away from its earthly metaphorical object and that myth had finally become myth itself.In the distant sky, myths continue in their own country, and his life is finally peaceful and finally on the right track.He was on his way to meet the magicians in the Emerald City who made wishes come true. This description of auditors may be far from the truth, but Party A all over the world always has unrealistic requirements for Party B.

He walked to the door of the conference room and saw through the glass door that it was already full of people.Sitting in the center of the conference table were Lingfan and a middle-aged man in a gray suit, talking and laughing with each other, accompanied by Mibo and Wang Jisheng on both sides.That person must be the partner of the firm. Luo Binhan already knew that his surname was Wei.He stood by the door for a while, feeling very interesting in his heart, because he rarely saw Lingfan taking the lead in receiving foreign guests.This old lady has a strong technician temperament, which is different from Yu Qingshu or Liu Ling.Lu Jin knocked on the door for him, then opened the door and invited him in.

"Hello everyone." He walked in and started a lively introduction.The partners and two senior managers stood up and shook hands with him respectively, while Lingfan introduced them to each other.This conference room was quite spacious for the Finance Department floor, but it was still very crowded after nearly twenty people were seated.All the lower-level people at least tried to lean against the wall as much as possible. It was so dark that they couldn't see the details.Luo Binhan took a quick glance and felt that they were indeed young people, with more women than men.Before he could take a closer look, he caught a glimpse of a senior manager taking out his business card from his pocket out of the corner of his eye.He quickly took out his own, first handed it to the partner named Wei, and asked him for advice in the future; then it was the turn of the senior managers and managers, each of whom met Luo Binhan and exchanged a few polite words.

One of the managers sat a little further away and had an impressive belly.When he was forced to stand up from the table and come all the way to shake hands and exchange business cards, the others scattered like grease on water, pressing themselves as close to the wall as possible.In this way he could move forward unsteadily.That situation was a bit ridiculous, but Luo Binhan had already entered the state.He kept a warm and appropriate smile, showing no hint of embarrassment.

"Manager Hu," he handed over the business card with both hands, "I will trouble you more in the future."

The other party also came to take the business card diligently, his face was covered with sweat, and he looked sad and sick.Luo Binhan's gaze, which should have been locked with him, couldn't help but move away slightly and quickly glanced at the row of people behind the wall.Now he finally saw these young auditors clearly. From the one standing at the front to the one sitting in the corner, everyone's face was completely revealed to him.His hands suddenly let go, and the business card slipped from his fingertips and fell heavily on the table, like a stone hitting a gong.The conference room suddenly became quiet, as if there was no one there.

Luo Binhan stood there for two seconds.He first looked at the open glass door. Xiao Rong and Luo Jiayang each leaned on one side of the door, secretly squinting at his face.In the sunlight behind them, dust was floating silently, as if in slow motion.At first, he heard nothing in his ears, then there was a thump, thump, thump, thump, and he realized it was his own heartbeat.Finally, a sound like a roaring blood burst out, surging back and forth between his ears.

He lowered his head and picked up the business card on the table before anyone could react. "I'm sorry," he said, "I didn't sleep well last night and I was a little dizzy just now. Don't take it personally, Manager Hu."

He handed the business card over again and apologized profusely.Manager Hu, who had a protruding belly and a sickly look, quickly took it and joked that this was understandable.We are all working people, who can still be healthy?Everyone laughed and put the little mistake away.Luo Binhan pulled out a chair and asked Manager Hu to sit down nearby. He returned to Lingfan and looked around the room from the center of the long table.

"There are a lot of people here today," he said. "They all look like young teachers. Why don't we all introduce them?"

The partner surnamed Wei nodded to several managers, and Luo Binhan estimated that he might not be able to name all of his subordinates.They asked each auditor in order of position to introduce themselves.There are three people who have obviously been working for a long time, and their tone and demeanor when speaking are full of sophistication.The clothes and manners of the remaining ones were a little worse, showing the immaturity of rookies.According to Luo Binhan's experience, they are probably all interns, or have been employed for less than a year.

The self-introduction progressed to the third to last person. She was a very beautiful girl with eye-catching and gorgeous long wavy hair, and diamond sequins on her nails.After she reported her name, Luo Binhan tilted his head slightly and said with a smile: "Teacher Wu's nails are very beautiful. Are they made in the store?"

The girl smiled and said she did it herself. "Those hands are so skillful." Luo Binhan said, pretending not to notice that Lingfan was glaring at him for the nonsense he said out of nowhere, "What school did Mr. Wu graduate from?"

The other party answered him two or three questions.Luo Binhan then turned to look at the next person. She was a girl with a refreshing and capable style. She had a well-proportioned figure. It was obvious at a glance that she liked to exercise. "What kind of sports does Teacher Fang usually do?" he asked, "Dancing? Coincidentally, our Xiaorong likes it too. Are you a local? What school did you graduate from?"

Finally only the last one is left.His eyes moved to the corner with everyone, and behind everyone sat a young boy.She has fair skin, regular facial features, neat clothes, and an introverted and quiet demeanor. She is simply Xiao Rong's favorite type.

Luo Binhan looked at him with a smile on his face: "Who is this teacher?"

The other party raised his head and replied calmly and naturally: "Zhou Wenxing."

Their eyes met at one point.Luo Binhan looked up at the flying dust outside the door, and suddenly felt a little confused, wondering if he was crazy.But he quickly and resolutely looked back at the baby-faced auditor in a white shirt.

"Teacher Zhou," he said, "then, how do you write the word specifically?"

"The warmth of gentleness is the conduct of good deeds."

"It's a very elegant name. Are you a local?"

"Yes."

Luo Binhan tilted his chin unconsciously.He continued to raise his lips: "What school did you graduate from?"

"Lihai University." "It turns out he is my junior student." Luo Binhan said, "How long has Mr. Zhou been doing this?"

"Just a new intern."

"You are so young." Luo Binhan said, and then he was silent for a while.Lingfan probably thought he had finished, and was about to answer, but he said again: "Interestingly, Teacher Zhou, I found that you look vaguely familiar. Maybe we have met somewhere before?"

The young man sitting in the corner smiled quietly.In a row of slightly confused mortal faces, his black hole-like eyes could not even reflect the light. "Manager Luo," he said, "just call me Xiao Zhou."

Luo Binhan nodded and continued to grin at him. "So, Xiao Zhou," he still asked, "have we met before?"

"Maybe. I used to travel around the university town a lot."

"Really? You don't happen to carry a guitar with you all the time, do you?"

"Indeed, I studied musical instruments for a while."

"What a coincidence!" Luo Binhan said.He didn't know what the smile on his face looked like at this moment, but he knew that the people around him were gradually showing doubts.There is really nothing you can do about it. If your inner feelings are very intense, even if you can control every muscle on your face, it will still seep out from every detail, making people feel that something is wrong with you.He finally took back the arm that was supporting the table, turned to Lingfan and said, "Teacher Ling, what do you think we will do next?"

Lingfan looked at him a little strangely. "Let's eat first," she said. "The hotel has been booked."

Luo Binhan smiled and nodded. "Ah," he said, "I forgot something in the office. You go first, I will go there later."

He apologized profusely to his partners and managers, then walked around the corner toward the door.When he walked through the door, he noticed Xiao Rong looking curiously at the corner. "Xiao Rong," he said, "come with me first."

Luo Jiayang also followed him.There was silence on the way back. Luo Binhan took out his mobile phone and opened the chat interface with Momolo.That profile picture is now gray.But he stared intently, as if he was reading the content on the phone screen with great interest.It wasn't until he entered the office that he put down his phone and sat down heavily on the sofa next to the wall.Now he had no intention of hiding it. The other two people were staring at him with suspicion, forcing him to make a decision as soon as possible.

"I don't feel very well." He said quickly, rubbing his temples vigorously. "I have a bad headache. My ears were full of noise just now."

Xiao Rong was startled.She said she could buy some medicine or talk to Lingfan.Luo Binhan waved her hand to tell her not to go. "Go and call Lu Jin," he said after a pause, "and pour me a glass of warm water. I'll give you half a day off this afternoon, and you can go home and rest."

"But……"

"I'll take care of Lingfan's place. You can go in peace."

Xiao Rong went there hesitantly.After a while, Lu Jin opened the door and came in to ask about the situation.Luo Binhan was still rubbing his forehead, holding warm water in his hand. "There's something wrong with my health," he said in a low voice, "I need to go to the hospital immediately to check on the situation. I have to let Manager Wang and others handle the lunch reception. You go and tell them."

Lu Jin was startled and hurried away.After he left, Luo Binhan took his hand away from his head - it was indeed hot at the moment, as if it was on fire.He unbuttoned the top button of his shirt, took a sip of water from his glass, and stared at his reflection.The expression on the reflection was indeed very ugly.Luo Jiayang leaned against the wall silently, his eyes flickering and suspicious.Luo Binhan knew that he had not hidden anything from him.

"What are you looking at?" he asked as he took a second sip of water. "Go down and get ready to drive. I have to go home immediately."

Luo Jiayang didn't move. "What do you mean?" he said. "You're not sick at all."

"I remembered something interesting." Luo Binhan said, "Do you want to know what it is?"

Luo Jiayang looked at him uncertainly.

"Did you see the kid in the corner just now?"

"You mean the one with the surname Zhou?"

"Yes, that's him." Luo Binhan said with a smile, "Go ahead and slap him twice."

He buried his head and continued to drink water, until he drank more than half of the glass. When he raised his head, he could still meet Luo Jiayang's eyes.At that moment, many thoughts went through Luo Binhan's head, all about what his cousin had done in his life.But there is still blood, family, parents... He said to himself again that Luo Jiayang has never killed anyone. Maybe he will do it one day in the future, but at least not now.From a legal perspective, the total amount of things this person has done cannot lead to a sentence of 20 years.Pushing Luo Jiayang into the tiger's mouth is also a kind of murder.

"It's just a joke." He said, "It has nothing to do with that kid. Send me home, and then you can rest for a few days."

He got up and took Luo Jiayang to the parking lot.The roar of the car engine along the way was so deafening that Luo Binhan had no interest in talking.He leaned back in the back seat and stared at the bright sky.In the morning, he felt that today was a quiet day, but now he realized that it was just because of deliberate neglect.The truth is that the wind is howling.The wind kept howling above them.At one point he even doubted that he would ever reach home safely.There would be some kind of terrible accident, a car accident, a road collapse, a meteorite, or a tornado that would kill them halfway in the road, but nothing would happen.Luo Jiayang drove the car into the parking lot smoothly.

Luo Binhan asked him to leave the car and not come to pick him up in the next few days. Then he sat alone in the car and thought about it for a minute.He knew that he kept some regular painkillers at home, so he slowly got on the elevator, stopped at a corner from the door of his house, and punched his stomach several times.When he stumbled and rang the doorbell, Yu Xiaorong was really surprised when he came out to open the door.

"What's wrong with you?" She helped him into the house, "Don't you have to work overtime today?"

"Stomach pain." Luo Binhan said, "Go and buy some medicine for me. Do you know where the pharmacy is?"

Of course he looked terrible.Yu Xiaorong hurriedly kicked off her slippers, grabbed her phone and keys, and ran out the door.Luo Binhan felt something was wrong when she went out, but he thought that the pharmacy was on the street, in full view of the public, so it might be safer than at home.As soon as Yu Xiaorong closed the door, he immediately stood up and walked to the bedroom, passing by the multi-layered cat cage on the way, where Fina was sleeping.Luo Binhan easily grabbed it and held it up to his eyes like a sleeping cat.It lazily opened its eyes and looked at him with inexplicable annoyance.

"Why are you staring at me?" Luo Binhan said, "Here comes the work."

He carried Fina into the bedroom and threw it on the bed. He quickly walked to the window and closed all the curtains. "Li Li." He called out, and when he turned around, the phantom in red was sitting on the bedside, his expression as calm as before.

"Sir?" she said, as if the last time they had spoken was yesterday and not more than a month ago.

Luo Binhan walked to the desk and sat down, looking at her a little dejectedly.Li Li's calm demeanor affected him, and the roar in his head finally calmed down.He knew that the time they had available now was very short. Yu Xiaorong was thinking about his illness and might rush back at any time.

"Freeze," he said flatly. "He showed up."
