Chapter 89: Work and School

On the first day of the next month, Lin Guzhi officially started working.

He paid some rent to Dubin and lived in Peace No. 1 for a long time. After all, compared with other places, he and Xiaoxi were already familiar with this place, and with Dubin as the landlord, he didn't need to deal with other unfamiliar landlords.

——If he moved to a new place and happened to encounter a weird landlord who came with a lantern to assess the damage, he was afraid that he would not be able to resist and punch the landlord in the head.

So where he lives now is a little far from the Jinye Building, and he needs to ride a bike to get there.

The electric car was fully charged, and Xiaoxi sat in the back, still with her back to him.

Xiaoxi seemed to like riding in this way very much. Lin Guzhi could ensure her safety, so he ignored her.

Driving on the road, there were many people riding electric bikes with their children. Some of the children on the electric bikes were carrying school bags, and some were wearing small yellow hats, which attracted Xiaoxi's attention.

"Xiao Lin."

Xiaoxi called Lin Guzhi and couldn't help asking, "Where are they going?"

Lin Guzhi smiled and said, "They are going to school. It seems that today is the first day of school. I almost forgot. All the children here go to school, play in kindergarten, and learn knowledge in elementary school, middle school, and university."

"Learn?"

Xiaoxi was slightly confused.

Lin Guzhi said: "It's like one plus one equals something."

Xiaoxi said, "Didn't Xiaolin and Dad teach me this as well?"

Lin Guzhi said: "But we can't teach you anything deeper. For example, how thick the earth is, how high the sky is, how to set off fireworks, how to build a car, and many, many other things."

Xiaoxi looked up at the sky and suddenly felt happy: "Is that so..."

"Yes."

Lin Guzhi said, "Xiaoxi, do you want to learn?"

Xiaoxi said: “I want to.”

Lin Guzhi said: "If you want to learn, you have to go to school."

As they were talking, they passed by a school on their bikes. It was the morning rush hour, and it was also the time for parents to send their children to school. Parents rushed to send their children to the school gate, waved and watched their children enter the school gate.

Xiaoxi watched all these scenes and asked Lin Guzhi with some concern: "Xiaolin, is that the school?"

Lin Guzhi said: "Yes."

Xiaoxi asked: "Why don't the adults go to school with the children?"

Lin Guzhi said: "Because school is a place for children to study, adults cannot go in."

"..."

Xiaoxi suddenly fell silent.

Although Lin Guzhi didn't look at Xiaoxi, he could sense the little girl's mood changes behind him. He smiled and said patiently, "It's okay, don't worry, Xiaoxi. You can slowly adapt and go to school when you are ready. School is a very safe place."

Xiaoxi was silent for a while, then said, "Xiaolin, can I not go to school?"

Lin Guzhi said: "You can slowly adapt and understand this world. When you are well adapted, you can go to school. But school is a great place. I will take you to have a look when I have time."

Xiaoxi continued to remain silent.

Lin Guzhi didn't say anything more. He knew he couldn't rush things any further, and even reflected on whether what he said now was a little too hasty.

The electric bike arrived outside the Jinye Building. Lin Guzhi found a place to park bicycles, stopped the electric bike and locked it, then took Xiaoxi into the building.

At this moment, the building was not open yet. The people who came here were the property management and security guards, that is, people from the same company as Lin Guzhi. Lin Guzhi didn't know anyone, so when he entered the door, he was stopped by the security guard.

"It's not open yet, come back at ten o'clock."

The security guard said this to Lin Guzhi.

Lin Guzhi explained: "I'm here to work. Today is my first day."

The security guard immediately became more friendly and greeted me with a smile: "I was wondering why I haven't seen you before. Let me call and ask."

Lin Guzhi said: "Let me do it. I also need to go in to see Manager Liang."

Security is of course not a problem.

So Lin Guzhi called Manager Liang and told him something. But Manager Liang hadn't arrived yet, so he asked him to go to the office and wait.

The property management of the Jinye Building is indeed quite lax. Liang Ting didn't show up at the normal working time. In comparison, Yao Anxin of the Jinlong Supermarket is much more dedicated.

After the security guard confirmed that Lin Guzhi was indeed here to work, he let him in.

The property management office of the building is on the top floor. Lin Guzhi took Xiaoxi to the top floor according to Liang Ting's instructions. After entering the property management office, they saw that some employees had already arrived there.

After sitting at their workstations, these employees were not in a hurry to work. Some were eating breakfast, some were clearing the tables and cleaning, and some were browsing the web.

When Lin Guzhi passed by, he asked someone about the location of Manager Liang's office.

The person's workstation was right next to the corridor, closest to Lin Guzhi. She happened to see a promotional video for a new drama, and while clicking on it, she answered Lin Guzhi: "Go inside, there is a separate room at the back, which is Manager Liang's office. But she hasn't come yet, so you have to wait a while."

"Thank you."

Lin Guzhi thanked him and saw that the video that opened was the trailer for "Sword of Love".

"Xiao Wang is still handsome! Wow, look at this look."

The man was watching and commenting at the same time, and he no longer cared about Lin Guzhi. It seemed that he was a fan of a popular star in the drama.

The employee at the workstation next to her came over, took a look at her computer screen, and said with disdain, "What's so handsome about her? Her face is so long, and she has two catfish whiskers. She's so ugly."

The man said, "Tsk! What kind of aesthetics do you have? You don't even know how to appreciate things!"

Lin Guzhi had already taken Xiaoxi to Liang Ting's manager's office, and the sound of the two people's quarrel had already fallen behind him.

He didn't care about the trailer of "The Sword of Love". Anyway, the drama had nothing to do with him, and he was just a supporting role.

Unexpectedly, he then heard the employee who was arguing with the woman who gave him directions say, "Huh? Why is this person's painting style different from everyone else's?"

The woman who showed him the way also said, "It's true! Why does this person look so strange?"

Lin Guzhi immediately confirmed that the two people behind him saw him appear.

Now he was a little surprised. Why did Liu Qianding edit him into the trailer?

He heard the sound of a mouse clicking. It must be them clicking the mouse to pull back the progress bar.

"It's true!"

"quite handsome."

"I don't think I'm as handsome as Xiao Wang."

"Tsk! Stop talking about your catfish spirit!"

"Why do I feel like this person... seems a little familiar?"
