Chapter 43 Chapter Forty-Three

Zhou Yulou did not receive any new text messages all day today. Thirty hours have passed since the "three hundred thousand, three days" yesterday evening.For thirty hours, Zhou Yulou dialed that number countless times, but all of them were turned off.The only consequence of doing that was that he finally understood Xia Churong's mood when he frantically called him back then. Zhou Yulou knew that that guy was expressing an attitude: there is no need to discuss, there is no room for it! Greedy madman! More than once, he had imagined the face on the other end of the phone...full of self-righteous complacency, with a wretched face and sly eyes, as disgusting as a pile of maggot-ridden molluscs.

At dinner today, Jiang Dan asked Zhou Yulou what was wrong, saying that he had been out of spirit since he came back from Shanghai.Zhou Yulou perfunctorily said that it might be because he was tired from tossing around on the road and was a little sub-healthy.At this time Jiang Dan made a very inappropriate joke. "Is it because of that girl?" Zhou Yulou was taken aback, "Which girl is that?" "The one who had the accident is called... Bai Xiaoxi, I heard that she is the most beautiful girl in your school. Didn't you tutor her in musicals? It's not because of her that you are listless all day long, right?"

"What does it have to do with her!" Zhou Yulou was furious. Jiang Dan was so bored, "What's the matter with you? Isn't it just a joke? You can't even take a joke?" "How can you make fun of the dead?" "Okay, okay... You are, really." Jiang Dan shut his voice in disgrace. At 11 o'clock in the evening again, a new text message was sent, and Zhou Yulou rushed to the phone. Three hundred thousand and two days Zhou Yulou told him: Too much!I really can't figure it out other side: How does it compare with your life? Zhou Yulou:

Where can I get so much money in such a short time? other side: time to go all out Zhou Yulou: can we meet and talk other side: Ok ah? !Zhou Yulou was shocked...agreed to meet!He typed excitedly: when... Before the fight was over, the other party told him: But it has to be 600,000 damn it!The study room is full of the bitterness of being played with.Zhou Yulou swallowed bitterness, and discussed with the other party—— i will definitely give you money but less other side: 300,000 and I have two days left to shut down "Don't..." Zhou Yulou couldn't help shouting, and then called immediately.

Really shut down. After going to bed that day, Zhou Yulou couldn't sleep, repeating the sentence silently: three hundred thousand, two days left.Later, in a half-dream and half-awake state, he told himself that he must do something tomorrow, either to get 300,000 yuan, or to find out about that person.Coincidentally, tomorrow is also the day when the school resumes classes. There is a depressing air in the piano room. This is the first vocal class after the special study.From the moment Xue Ge pushed open the door of the piano room, Zhou Yulou realized that his apprentice was very unusual.His hair was disheveled and his complexion was pale. He looked at the teacher with flickering eyes, and he looked like a sun-dried eggplant.

Xue Ge was really uncomfortable, mainly because he couldn't forgive himself.A few days ago, he had already done something to apologize to Zhou Yulou.Yesterday, he did the second one.When he learned the truth about Fang Lili's prostitution from Taozi, he strongly advocated telling Zhou Yulou, and later even yelled at Taozi, but in the end he didn't shake his friend, but let Taozi go to the Conservatory of Music Went to take 10,000 yuan from Feng Tai's pocket. How could I treat Teacher Zhou like this?Xue Ge had been thinking about this question all night yesterday, and he was still thinking about it when he walked into the piano room today, so you know what state he will use for this class.

Less than halfway through the class, Zhou Yulou stopped, closed the piano cover, and looked at Xue Ge. "Come here, you are not in good condition, what's the matter?" "No." Xue Ge whispered. "Honestly, what's going on?" "Maybe I didn't sleep well last night." Zhou Yulou was silent for a while, and asked him: "Xue Ge, do you have something to hide from me?" "No... Really not." He lowered his head, every word was weak. "Xue Ge, everyone knows that among so many students, I value you the most. Someone even made a small report to the old director, saying that Teacher Zhou seemed to be Xue Ge's only teacher."

"I know." "So I think, even if there are 10,000 people who have done something wrong to Zhou Yulou, Xue Ge shouldn't be there." "Mr. Zhou, how could I do something wrong to you?" He couldn't even hear what he said. "Have you had any financial difficulties lately?" "Ah?" Xue Ge was startled, "What, what did you say..." "I asked you if you have any financial difficulties?" "There is no difficulty, I... what difficulty can I have, really, it's very good." "If you use money, just tell me that although I don't have two to three hundred thousand yuan, it's not a problem to spend tens of thousands of yuan at a time."

"No, Mr. Zhou, really no need." Zhou Yulou took a few steps in the piano room, and suddenly asked him: "Bai Xiaoxi from the acting department, do you know her well?" "I'm not familiar, I haven't even said anything." "Impossible, a school, look down and see up." "Really, I have very little contact with my classmates, let alone those from other departments. What's the matter, Mr. Zhou, why ask her?" "Just ask, she can be regarded as half of my student, it's a pity to die like this." "Mr. Zhou, do you have anything else to do?"

"What's your phone number?" Xue Ge told him. "Just this one?" "yes." "What did you do last night?" "What's the matter, stay at home." "Ever texted?" "No, what's the matter?" Xue Ge looked puzzled, as if he didn't understand why the teacher suddenly changed the topic to text messages. "It's okay, let's go." Zhou Yulou said. "Then, goodbye, Teacher Zhou." Xue Ge went out anxiously and closed the door of the piano room. That person is not him.Zhou Yulou thought that this young man might be experiencing something unusual, but not this one.

When Zhou Yulou walked into the department head's office, Feng Tai was on the phone.It was impossible to tell from his sweet expression that he had just paid a extortion fee of 10,000 yuan to the Industrial and Commercial Bank next to the school angrily. Seeing Zhou Yulou coming in, Feng Tai said to the phone, "It happens that your brother is here, so I'll hang up first." He hung up the lover line, and told Zhou Yulou as if singing: "It's Yuting, we are discussing the engagement banquet We decided to set up a few banquet tables in Xinhao Restaurant after registration on Saturday, please invite friends and colleagues on both sides, at 5:30. Director Zhou, you are both a mother’s family and a mother-in-law’s family, so you must come with your sister-in-law... ...Drink more..." Feng Tai's speech slowed down, and finally he just shut up.He found that Zhou Yulou's face was very abnormal, in fact, that face had been gloomy since he entered the room. "What's up, Director Zhou, is there something wrong?" "There's something I want to talk to you about." "What's the matter?" he asked carefully. "Did you open the drawer of my desk during my business trip?" "I opened your drawer? Who said..." "You don't have to deny it, someone saw you sitting in my seat that morning." Feng Tai was still a little flustered.He has faced too many times when his lies were exposed, but he still hasn't been able to practice the hard work of being invulnerable. Zhou Yulou said: "Director Feng, you are my leader in public, and we are relatives in private, and we can talk about everything openly and honestly. Now it's just the two of us, everyone should be more frank. In fact, we can talk about everything. There is nothing that can’t be solved, but if you go around in circles and go around in riddles, the result is still nothing, don’t you think?” "Director Zhou, I don't understand what you said, what charades, what circles..." "Do you really not understand or are you pretending to be confused?" "I really don't understand." "Well, what did you put in my drawer the other day?" "That day... I didn't let go of anything." Zhou Yulou's heartbeat suddenly accelerated!Does this mean that he admitted to moving the drawer... He asked: "That's weird, why did I see something in the drawer?" "What?" Feng Tai looked confused. "Must I say it?" "If you don't tell me... how would I know?" "envelope." "envelope?" "Did you let it go?" "Oh!" Feng Tai suddenly realized, "Is it a kraft paper envelope? It says "Received by Zhou Yulou?" All the blood rushed into Zhou Yulou's head!He nodded slightly. "right." "I also saw that envelope," Feng Tai said with a look of injustice, "but I didn't put it there, when I opened your drawer that day, the envelope was already there." "yes?" "You think, we meet every day, I'll give you something with my own hands or ask Lao Chen to give it to you, why do you still put some envelopes in your drawer?" Zhou Yulou examined him. "You said, when you opened the drawer, the envelope was already there?" "Yeah, I swear to God I didn't put it! What, is there anything bad in that envelope?" "No, the envelope is empty." Zhou Yulou turned and walked out after speaking. It seemed wrong again, Feng Tai's Dou E-like face really didn't look like he was lying.Zhou Yulou heard Feng Tai talking to himself from behind, "Why did someone put an empty envelope in your drawer?" Zhou Yulou stopped by the door, turned around and asked him, "Why are you looking through my drawer?" "Huh? Uh, I thought your... paper was in the drawer, I just wanted to read it..." Feng Tai looked embarrassed, as if he had a bun in his mouth. Zhou Yulou ignored him, opened the door and left.
