Chapter 11 The Nursing Home

It was the last meeting in the piano room.

Guan Zan didn't hate Ke Jinrui, but he didn't like the feeling of being teased again and again, so he spent a lot of time in the piano room.In fact, he really didn't have much time to waste. After ten years of vacancy, he only had a very vague impression of Guzheng. His foundation was shallow, and all aspects needed to be rebuilt.The etudes selected by Ke Su are highly targeted. On average, each song can exercise two to three fingering techniques. From simple to difficult, they are all types that are easy to learn but require a lot of effort to master.

Ke Jinrui didn't show up during this time, as if he had returned to work, and only left the bedroom when eating.

Guan Zan deliberately avoided him, always practiced for an extra hour or two, and staggered the meal time before going to the restaurant for dinner.

On Sunday evening, Karen Housekeeping called. The nanny has been in the house for three days, and the company will conduct a two-way satisfaction survey.Guan Zan did not disclose the matter of learning the piano from a teacher, but only reported on the work items indicated in the contract.At this time, the sound of an engine came from outside, and he held the microphone and pushed open the French window door, just in time to see a black Land Rover driving away from the private parking lot of Ke's house.

Ke Jinrui left.

Guan Zan didn't feel relieved, but became apprehensive instead.

Because the words left by the man were, wait for him to contact you.

Guan Zan waited for a few days, but the phone remained silent.It wasn't until the next weekend came and passed, Ke Jinrui didn't go home, that he gradually forgot about the ambiguous agreement and devoted himself to repertoire practice.

Ke Su's physical condition is average and he can't sit for a long time, but he still insists on listening to him play for an hour or two every morning, correcting and guiding the deficiencies hand in hand, taking a nap in the afternoon and leaving Guan Zan to practice alone.During this period, the weather became hotter and hotter, and the summer heat in Beijing made the small white apricots in the orchard fully mature, turning into an attractive yellow and reddish color.Ke Su liked his own apricots very much, but he didn't dare to eat more due to his diabetes, so he developed the habit of rewarding Guan Zan with white apricots.

The old and the young often went to sit in the orchard before the piano practice started in the morning, when the sun was not shining so brightly. Guan Zan was in charge of picking fruit, and Ke Su was happy to watch him climb the tree while sipping tea.

As life is on the right track, time flies, and the end of the month is blinking.

The rainy season has entered again these few days, and the first floor is so humid that the piano will go out of tune if you don't touch it overnight.

On Thursday morning, it was rare for Guan Zan not to play the piano, but to carefully oil the three guzhengs in the piano room.

Not long after, footsteps sounded in the corridor.The location of this piano room is remote, and with the fact that no one else is allowed to enter, no one would come here except him and Mr. Ke.Guan Zan's ears were sharp, and when he heard the sound, he temporarily put down the work at hand, and wiped off the pine oil on his fingers with a handkerchief.At this time, the sliding door at the entrance slammed, and Guan Zan raised his head in response, just in time to see Zhang Ma trotting over in a hurry from the other side of the screen.

Guan Zan hurriedly got up to meet him, and asked, "What happened?"

Mama Zhang was panting, holding a mobile landline in her hand, covering the receiver and saying to Guan Zan, "The second young master's company's phone number is assistant Xiao Luo. He said that some plates were missing, and he was very anxious!" Guan Zan listened. Confused, he frowned unconsciously.Mama Zhang knew that she couldn't express herself clearly, so she made gestures and gestures, and said aggrievedly: "I don't understand the things you young people use when I'm old. These things are usually handled by Xiao Xu. Now that he's not at home, I can only I'm looking for you."

She looked behind Guan Zan worriedly, and asked uncertainly, "Don't bother me?"

"It's okay, there's no practice today." Guan Zan took the initiative to take the landline and comforted him, "Don't worry, I'll take care of it, go get busy first."

After she left, Guan Zan picked up the phone and said politely, "Hi, I'm from the Ke family..." He paused, and then said, "The nanny of the Ke family, what happened to the second young master?"

On the other side of the phone, Luo Yue heard Guan Zan's voice, smiled politely and said, "It's not a big deal, don't be frightened by Aunt Zhang. Mr. Ke brought a few office equipment with him for a short stay. There is a mobile hard disk missing, I would like to trouble you to help find it and see if it is really left at home."

"Okay." Guan Zan quickly left the piano room and went up to the second floor from the nearest stairs, "What kind of hard drive?" He entered Ke Jinrui's bedroom with ease, and went straight to the desk.

"It's the size of a palm, and it's silver, and it should be equipped with a data cable." Luo Yue said.

The desktop is clean, it was cleaned by the Filipino maid.Guan Zan walked to the inside of the table, bent down, and opened the drawers layer by layer, and finally found the mobile hard disk neatly wrapped with data cables on the bottom layer. "It's dropped." Guan Zan took out the things and put them on the table, and closed the drawer without any hassle. "Is it important? When will you pick them up?"

Luo Yue said: "It contains the project plan for next year, which is very important."

Guan Zan said, "Then I'll take it downstairs and wait for you to come over?"

"There is a mid-year summary conference in the past two days, and I need to sort out the speech materials. I really don't have time to go there." Luo Yue fell into silence as if he was in trouble, and after a while, he asked, "I don't know if you have time to help Mr. Ke Send a trip? I will send you the company address later..."

After hanging up the phone, Guan Zan went down to the first floor with the hard drive and knocked on the door of Mr. Ke's bedroom.

It was rainy and humid, and Ke Su suffered from a leg ailment, and he has been bedridden for the past two days.As a result, after Guan Zan finished talking about the situation, the old man almost sat up angrily, and said angrily, "This little bastard, such a grown-up is so careless, it's [-] to [-] kilometers from his home to his broken company, so he has the nerve to bother you? No." go!"

Guan Zan sat down by the bed, squeezed his legs through the quilt, and persuaded him, "It was the assistant who called, and I didn't ask me to drop it off directly. I asked if it was okay, and I agreed."

"This place has to go down the mountain. It's not safe in rainy days, and you can't drive." Ke Su sighed and told him, "Don't allow it next time. You're too tired to run like this."

After the two finished talking, Ke Su personally called the security department and asked them to send a car to take Guan Zan to the entrance of the villa area at the foot of the mountain.This place is already in the suburbs, there are very few taxis coming and going, and there is no subway or bus station within two kilometers. The security captain on duty is very enthusiastic, and after asking about the situation, he specially called a taxi for Guan Zan.

After waiting in the security box for about ten minutes, the taxi came.Guan Zan folded his umbrella and sat in the back seat. He was about to show the driver the address Luo Yue had sent, but then he changed his mind and said, "Go to Anding Hospital on Dewai Street, sorry for your trouble."

The driver greeted him with a familiar "Okay", turned up the car radio to listen to storytelling, refueled his feet, and drove onto the expressway in the direction of the city.

The rain outside the window seemed to be a lot heavier, and a layer of water vapor formed on the glass. Guan Zan was holding the backpack that only contained a mobile hard drive, his fingers tightened and loosened, and he felt a little sorry for the temporary diversion.But he was at Ke's house, and he didn't have the chance to come out at all. This was a rare occasion, and he noticed that the company's address was not too far from the hospital, so he wanted to stop by to visit.

Now that the morning rush hour has passed, the expressway into the city is not congested, but because the road is slippery, it cannot be driven too fast.

Two hours later, near noon, the taxi stopped in front of the main entrance of Anding Hospital. The driver dialed his meter, and Guan Zan handed him 200 yuan.

The rain in the urban area was very fast, and the roads were heavily flooded. Guan Zan got out of the car, put up his umbrella and ran to the psychiatric sanatorium. When he got there, his clothes were already half wet.The entrance of the inpatient building was covered with waterproof sandbags. Guan Zan was in a hurry, and while putting away the umbrella, he opened the plastic curtain with his shoulders, paying no attention to the person who was about to come out from inside.

The next moment, he suddenly ran into the opponent's arms, Guan Zan was taken aback, and before he had time to apologize, he directly clasped his arms and pulled him into a corner not far away.

Pedestrians are in a hurry on a rainy day, and no one will pay attention to the small friction between passers-by.

Guan Zan was pushed into the corner of the wall, and his back hit the wall, hurting his shoulder blades.He frowned uncomfortably, and when he raised his head, the question stuck in his throat suddenly fell silent, but soon, his expression became completely indifferent, and he said coldly: "Let me go."

Blocking him was a tall young man, wearing a trendy sleeveless T-shirt and cropped trousers, and carrying a Gucci men's messenger bag, as if he hadn't heard Guan Zan's words, he neither let go nor answered .His name is Yuan Fan. He is the son of Guan Zan's uncle and aunt. He is a few years older than him. He is now a senior student studying finance at one of the top five universities in China.

Seeing that the other party didn't respond, Guan Zan pulled his arm slightly, but to no avail. He didn't really want to start a conflict in the hospital, so he said patiently, "Why are you here? Don't you have classes at school?"

"I said I'm free to come and see my aunt today, do you believe me?" Yuan Fan stared at Guan Zan, and slowly curled one corner of his mouth.

He is handsome, with a heroic youthful look, and at the same time mixed with a bit of naughty air that is very popular with little girls. It stands to reason that he would look good when he smiles, but Guan Zan only thinks that smile is very evil. After watching for a long time It will also stimulate people's violent impulses. To put it bluntly, it is to ask for beatings.

"Believe it, why don't you believe it?" Guan Zan made a gesture to twitch his arm, but Yuan Fan didn't make things difficult for him this time, and let it go obediently.Guan Zan went around him, quietly pinching his elbow with his palm and rubbing it, it was numb.He knew that his cousin hadn't left, but he ignored him, and the two entered the elevator one after the other.

While waiting for the elevator, Yuan Fan looked Guan Zan up and down several times, and asked, "Where have you been these past few months?"

When the elevator arrived, Guan Zan went in and pressed the number key 8, then looked up at Yuan Fan outside: "Didn't you guess it? I'm going to sell my ass."

This sarcasm in a common tone was like a fuse, and Yuan Fan was furious in an instant, and rushed into the elevator.He punched the close button of the CNC area, then took two steps forward, grabbed Guan Zan's hair on the side of his head and slammed him into the metal wall.

That blow was so powerful that it shook the entire elevator car.

The difference in height between the two is less than ten centimeters, but Guan Zan is too thin, so he looks overwhelmingly weak.

He was hit so hard that his eyes turned black, half of his body went numb, but his face still had that indifferent expression of "I don't know you".Eyelashes trembling slightly raised, Guan Zan looked at Yuan Fan who was close at hand with his corner of the corner of the eye in an extremely awkward posture.A smile gradually appeared in his eyes, and the smile was filled with sarcasm.

Since he was a child, he grew up in other people's parents, and he has never been the one to be loved.

He can't resist, can't fight back, so he likes to see this man's unforgiving look the most, he really looks like a mad dog with nowhere to vent.

Hilarious and ridiculous.

As for being beaten, that's not important.Anyway, he wasn't afraid of pain, and he couldn't escape a beating, so he had no choice but to make the person who did it feel uncomfortable even venting his anger.
