CHAPTER 601 - ANGRY SPEECH

Cao Li raised her head and looked at me, stunned for a moment before smiling. Darling, of course I won't. I just said I wanted money, so don't take it seriously. Even if what you gave me was real, I wouldn't want it if it was fake. Alright, my dear heart, don't worry. "

I nodded. Actually, even if you wanted the money, you wouldn't have it. I've already spent it.

Cao Li laughed, Ha, why did you spend it so quickly? Alright, don't worry, I promise I won't ask for that money. Not only do you not want it, you can also find me if you don't have enough.

Cao Li thought that I was worried that she would go back on her word, so she said that was why she spent the money.

Finally, I left Cao Li's office.

When I returned to my office, Cao Teng was not there. I stood by the window and looked at the yard. After a while, I saw Cao Li bravely walking out of her office and heading straight for the door.

I know that she must have gone to the Hai Zhou Metropolis Newspaper full of anger and righteousness to settle things with them. She finally understood that she was fooled by the people from the Hai Zhou Metropolis Newspaper. According to Cao Li's character, she would make a ruckus with them.

I know that they will cause trouble, but I also know that they will not cause trouble for the public, because everyone is afraid that if this matter were to become known to the outside world, it would ruin their reputation, and Cao Li would ruin her future.

I don't know what the end result of their ruckus will be, but it doesn't matter, it has nothing to do with me.

Since Cao Li had already decided that what she had said to Hai Zhou City's newspaper was true, and since she had already decided that Hai Zhou City's newspaper was playing with her, then the 80 thousand yuan in Hai Zhou City's newspaper would be wasted. Cao Li would definitely not return it, and the Hai Zhou City's newspaper could be considered as having lost a man and a woman.

Of course, I also benefited from this sinful transaction and received 20 thousand.

Watching Cao Li settle the score with the bad guys, I thought to myself about what use this 20 thousand yuan should be used for, it can't just be donated, it's boring and vulgar every time. I have to find another use for it, to make it seem like I'm not greedy and can make it work.

As he was calculating, the office's internal phone rang. He touched the phone and said, Hello?

Her second master, come here, come to my office – hurry – Qiu Tong's slightly excited and excited voice came over the phone.

The way Qiu Tong called me her second master made me dizzy and confused. I didn't expect her to be so humorous.

Since I call her Second Master, then Xia Yu can call him Second Milk. This reasoning, then Hai Zhu can call him Big Milk.

Big milk and two milk have, have 3 wood milk four milk five milk six milk? But even if there was, it was likely that the rankings weren't correct. There was always a first come, second come, no matter what Xia Yu said, right? It would be difficult for Hai Zhu to be ranked first.

I was feeling uneasy and apprehensive, careful and unscrupulous, but I was also indulging myself extremely well, almost thinking of myself as Wei Xiaobao.

However, compared to Wei Xiaobao, my number is not enough. Although it is not enough, I also don't want to work hard to reach it. One is enough, why so many?

But this one, I didn't know who to want in my heart. Thinking about this question, I was conflicted. It was obviously a sea bamboo, but I was unwilling to accept it. This unwillingness was only a vague unwillingness in my heart. The clear-headed part of my brain was still adamantly admonishing me that this must be a sea bamboo.

She called me second master, and made me talk so much.

What is it? No, I said.

Come on, you'll know when you get there. Qiu Tong's voice sounded somewhat mysterious.

I put down the phone and went to Qiu Tong's office.

Opening the door, Qiu Tong was looking at me with a smile.

What's wrong? What is this all about? I went over and sat down in the chair opposite her.

It's fine, it's completely fine! Qiu Tong lowered her voice and said with a relaxed expression.

What's okay? I didn't know what to do.

It's about the chief editor. It's all right now. Also, the chief editor is fine. Qiu Tong said.

Holy sh * t! Really? No, I said.

Qiu Tong nodded. I just received news that after the investigation team left, the higher-ups will no longer pursue this matter.

How is that possible? How can we just let this go? I murmured to myself as I looked at Qiu Tong.

Everything is possible. This is real, absolutely true. Qiu Tong said.

Why are you so free? I looked at Qiu Tong.

I heard it was an oral message from above, so I won't pursue this matter. Qiu Tong said.

Up there? Up there? Which level? No, I said.

I don't know about that. I only know that it's up there. Qiu Tong said.

What is the message?

I won't pursue this matter any further. In other words, they will no longer be held accountable by the chief editor. Now that the chief editor is safe, we can finally escape this calamity. Qiu Tong's voice was somewhat sorrowful. To us, the big shot is actually just a small figure in the eyes of the people above. A single sentence can determine a person's entire life."

If the chief editor is fine, then what about the chief editor? No, I said.

Don't forget that right now the chief editor is presiding over the group. With great difficulty, he himself managed to survive, so how could he punish the chief editor. If he were to punish the chief editor, he would naturally have to take responsibility. Qiu Tong said, So, they are the same line of grasshoppers, they are all one.

Makes sense. I nodded my head, but I was a little doubtful in my heart. Fuck, how could I be fine, it was so quick, I had to spend so much effort today to save these two idiots, this way, even though I wasted my time looking for Old Li, these two bookworms didn't fall into the abyss of eternal damnation, it's worth celebrating. What had happened that would have led to the sudden withdrawal of the investigation team, and to a statement from the authorities that they would be pardoned? Could this be the effect of Sun Dongkai?

As soon as I thought of Sun Dongkai, I immediately denied that it was impossible. He couldn't wait for the two of them to die.

Then, what was the reason? A great mystery welled up in my heart.

Analyze one of these paths. I looked at Qiu Tong.

What's there to analyze? It's over.

Of course it's worth analyzing. Don't you think it's strange?

There are many strange things that happen, so it is normal that you don't see them often. Why are you so curious? " Qiu Tong said.

Do you think Sun Dong Kai has really taken effect? Did he risk his life to remonstrate?

Do you think he will? Qiu Tong looked at me with a faint smile.

I don't think so. He's just talking. He's just a good person in front of everyone.

Then why are you still talking about it? Qiu Tong said.

Then, if the editor in question went to look for someone from the higher ups, would someone from the higher ups help him?

At this time, who would dare to speak to him in such a manner? I think that's bad enough.

Then, how about the editor in chief directly going to the city's oldest disciple to reflect on himself and implore him to let him off? No, I said.

To think that you are a rookie in the circle, you are truly a rookie. At this time, it is impossible for him to not be able to lean on the sides. " Qiu Tong said with a tone of certainty.

Then what is going on? There had to be a reason. How come everything suddenly went away?

Qiu Tong frowned, as if she was also extremely confused and confused. After thinking for a while, she said, To be honest, I really can't figure it out. Actually, not only you, but I don't think any of the other people in the group would be able to figure it out. Perhaps …" As she spoke to here, Qiu Tong stopped.

Maybe what?

Maybe only the big boss of the city knows what's going on. Qiu Tong said, Withdrawing the investigation team must be the wish of the city's oldest brother. Otherwise, no one would dare to do such a thing.

I nodded. I couldn't help but be confused. What had caused the city's oldest to make such a decision? It seemed to be a very difficult mystery.

Qiu Tong and I could not figure out what was going on. I think that there must be a lot of people guessing what was going on, including Sun Dongkai.

Of course, I also thought that maybe someone with more background than the eldest in the city had helped the editor, but who could it be? This was yet another mystery.

At this moment, I did not connect the editor's life and death with myself. I only knew that although I tried to help him, I was unsuccessful. I ran for half a day in vain.

Although I didn't help him, he was fine now, and I felt comforted.

Although the chief editor is done for, I'm afraid that his future prospects will come to an end. Although he is currently the leader of the group, it would still be difficult for him to advance any further. Qiu Tong said, "The news I heard, the editor in chief himself seemed to feel very suddenly that he was suddenly in danger, as if he himself didn't know anything about it. When he heard the news that he was fine, he was stunned for a long time.

I agree with Qiu Tong's analysis, indeed, even the chief editor himself does not know how he came back from the dead, it seems that he did not find anyone to help him, it seems that if he wanted to help him right now, it would be really difficult, although the city's oldest brother forgave him from dying, but I'm afraid he will not be able to use him again.

With this kind of analysis, Sun Dongkai still profited. The threat his opponent posed to him had been reduced by a lot.

After that, regarding the reason why the editor in chief escaped calamity, there were several versions of the story in the city, including within the group.

The first version was that Sun Dongkai had risked his life to admonish him, directly going to the city's eldest, trying his best to justify the editor's actions. The eldest, moved by the unity and fraternity between the group's upper echelons, had benevolently forgiven the editor.

This version has been widely circulated within and outside the group, some people do not believe it, but some people believe it deeply, they say Sun Dongkai is indeed a big family style, is a person full of justice.

Believe it or not, I definitely do not believe that this version was arranged by Sun Dongkai.

The second version was that the editor in chief was in a desperate situation, begging people to talk to the city's boss, and finally moved a certain important person in the city. That important person could not endure the difficulties of the editor's life and death, so he finally went to the city's chief, who, on account of this important person, let the editor go.

This version, I still doubt very much, just like my analysis with Qiu Tong, firstly, the chief editor doesn't have any backers in the city, and this is something many people know. Secondly, under those circumstances, who would step out to offend the boss for a bookworm like him?

There was a third version, which sounded like a legend. It said that the city's eldest received a call from a mysterious person in the car. After he received the call, his expression slightly changed, and he then asked his secretary to pass on his order to leave the investigation team and not pursue the matter any further.

The source of this version is said to be someone close to the boss, either a secretary or a pilot.

CHAPTER 602 - ADDING OIL TO VINEGAR

Among the three versions that were passed down, there were more people who seemed to be more willing to spread the third version. There were even more people who added oil to the fire, making it very clear. Regarding this mysterious person, some said that he was a big shot from the province, some even thought that he was a big shot from above, and some even said that he was a big shot from the martial arts world.

No matter how these people described it with their imagination, there did not seem to be enough evidence to justify their actions, because no one would believe that the editor had the ability to mobilize such a powerful figure to help them.

No matter how many editions were circulating, there was only one fact that could not be doubted. That was, the editor was fine. He was safe and sound.

This matter is perhaps an eternal mystery in everyone's heart, including me and Qiu Tong.

It seems that being too honest is not an option. It's easy for him to be at a disadvantage. The chief editor is an obvious example. Although he won't die this time, it's hard to say in the future. I sighed and said, I see a lot of people who are happy all day long with their horses' hooves. Sometimes I think that as a person, it is necessary to show off your abilities."

I don't think so. Although being an honest man will make you suffer, showing off your ability is something you shouldn't do at any time. Qiu Tong said, I have always believed that the final result of showing off one's strength would only lead to one's betrayal! It's just a matter of time.

That may not be so! I don't think so.

Seems like you aren't convinced? Qiu Tong laughed.

I smiled as well. Suddenly, I remembered the address that Qiu Tong used when she called me. Why are you calling me 'Second Master'?

Am I calling it wrong? Didn't I keep on calling you second master and you didn't object? " Qiu Tong looked at me.

I have no other choice. She insisted on calling me that, and I couldn't stop her mouth from opening. I felt helpless, helpless. I sighed.

You found him yourself. Who asked you to call him Er'jie? Qiu Tong said.

I — I stopped, then began to quibble. What's wrong with calling her Er'jie, I'm trying to extol her and encourage her.

Ha, you're talking nonsense again. Qiu Tong smiled with two dimples on her face, which made me want to pour some wine and drink it.

I pretended to be serious. I am definitely not spouting nonsense. What I said was the truth. Look, didn't all of the great women of modern history change into second milk?

Qiu Tong was amused. You're the one who said that when you're a great woman, you're going to be a mistress and then a mistress? Sly! "

I said, Being a great woman is not about not being a mistress, but choosing who to be a mistress with! It's like doing things. Many things are not about doing things or not doing them, but about who to do them with.

You sound very reasonable.

That makes a lot of sense.

Haha, according to what you said, Xia Yu is right to follow you as your mistress, isn't that so? If she follows you, she's right to follow the right person, isn't it?

I smiled and began to speak without restraint. I blurted out, I don't want her to be my mistress. It's not that bad for you.

As soon as the words left his mouth, he suddenly felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't take it back.

Qiu Tong's face turned red as she glared at me. You — you second master, you —

I... I was kidding. I panicked a little and hurriedly said, Actually, you are not suitable to be a second milk master. You are suitable to be a big milk master.

When I heard this, I felt even more confused. What kind of bullsh * t is this?

You … Qiu Tong's face turned even redder. What nonsense are you spouting? You … How can you talk like that? "

I could tell that Qiu Tong's expression was a little panicked. In my heart, I was also very anxious. Even though it was a joke, it didn't sound like that between Qiu Tong and me.

Qiu Tong's face was red and downcast, her fingers drumming restlessly on the table.

For a moment, we were both silent. The air in the room was awkward and ambiguous, but of course, this ambiguous feeling was my own. I didn't know what Qiu Tong felt.

After a long silence, I stood up and whispered, Qiu Tong.

Yes. Qiu Tong lowered her head and promised.

I'm leaving.

Yes. Qiu Tong still did not look up.

I went out, and when I reached the door, I looked back as I closed it behind me.

He saw Qiu Tong raise her head to look at me, her eyes were filled with confusion and panic.

My heart skipped a beat and I closed the door behind me.

When I returned to the office, Cao Teng was not there. I sat at my desk, my heart still pounding wildly.

After half a day, things calmed down a little. I stared at the computer screen in a daze. Then, after hesitating for a bit, I logged in and saw that Floating Life was online.

He's coming. I hit the keyboard.

I just came up, and you are here as well.

I just arrived too. How have you been?

Alright. You too.

I'm fine. The weather has turned cold. Wear more clothes outside and don't freeze.

I will. You have to pay more attention to yourself.

Yes.

Then we fell silent, as if there were so many things we wanted to say that we didn't know what to say.

After a long while, Floating Life began to speak, Guest.

I'm …

Me.

What do you want to say? Tell me.

Recently, I've been feeling very conflicted.

What's wrong?

I don't know if I should tell you.

If you think it's necessary for you to tell me, then say it. If you think it's not appropriate for you to tell me, then don't say it! My heart was pounding again.

Hai. She sighed. I know I shouldn't tell you, but, but I can't help wanting to tell you. I can't tell anyone but you.

Then tell me. No, I said.

She was silent.

I stared at the chat window on the computer screen.

I've let you down, I've let us down … she said after a moment.

My heart jolted, and an indescribable feeling filled my entire body.

Why do you say that? The fingers on my keyboard were trembling, and I knew what she was going to say.

Because... I... I betrayed my feelings for you, I... I don't know what's wrong with me. I feel so vile and guilty.

What's going on? No, I said.

I... I don't know what's going on.

Why do you say that again?

I... At some point in time, I had unknowingly taken someone in reality to be you. Even though I knew that he wasn't you and that you were just a shadow in the air, I didn't know why, but to him … To him... There's that feeling.

Oh. I don't know whether it was ecstasy or panic, whether it was pain or contradiction.

Is this person also the same guy? No, I said.

You … How do you know?

I guessed it. I guessed it right. Of all the people in your world, this is the one you raise the most in front of me. You mean you're in love with him, don't you?

I... I don't know. Perhaps … Yes... I'm sorry, customer, I was wrong, I know I was wrong, I shouldn't have felt this way about him, I should have felt this way about you, should not have felt this way about anyone else. However … I also know that he has a girlfriend. His girlfriend is like a sister to me, and I have such feelings for him. I know that I am despicable, shameless, and guilty. I... I'm in so much pain, I'm so tangled.

What happened between you and him? No, I said.

Nope.

He knows you feel that way about him?

I don't know. He probably doesn't know. Maybe, he feels it too.

Does he mean that to you?

He … I don't know. He shouldn't have. He has a girlfriend and has a good relationship with her. He shouldn't have treated me like that."

How do you know?

I... I guess, I guess.

You believe your guess?

I... I don't know, I only know how conflicted I am. I actually betrayed my feelings for you, I actually fell in love with my sister's boyfriend, and actually fell to such a state. I'm in so much pain, I've been hesitating about whether I should tell you or not. After thinking about it for a long time, I finally decided to tell you."

What do you mean? You don't feel that way about me anymore. You want to tell me that, don't you?

No, no, my feelings for you are still the same, only getting thicker, not weakening in the slightest, but, somehow, I will unconsciously think of him as you, and in him, I can't help but think of you often. I know that I am dreaming, that I am just fantasizing, but I can't control myself, that I can't control the thoughts and feelings in my heart. This is precisely the reason why I feel deeply guilty and fall into pain so often. I can't believe that I would become such a wicked person. I didn't dare to think that I would become such a woman. Guest, I'm in so much pain, I'm so sad.

What's so good about that guy that you actually think of him as me? You actually see my shadow on him and it actually makes you feel that way.

"Although he has many shortcomings, he is disrespectful, sloppy, yin and yang. However, he has more advantages than you do. He is much more similar to you and has the same advantages as you. In fact, the feeling he gives me in reality is even more genuine than yours. Every time I see him, I can't help but think of you.

I know he's not you, I know I shouldn't feel this way, but I really can't control my brain, can't control the connection deep inside me. Although no one knew what I was thinking, I couldn't deceive myself. Every time I thought of you, every time I saw his girlfriend, I would always blame myself. Customer, tell me, am I very shameless, very vulgar, very ugly? "

Looking at the words of self-reproach from Floating Life, my heart hurt so much that I couldn't help myself.

"Ru Meng, don't blame yourself. Don't suffer anymore. I understand your feelings and your thoughts, so I won't blame you. You are the best woman in the world, so don't belittle yourself so much.

Do you really think so? You still think so?"

Yes, what I said was the truth. You are the most beautiful, purest, and most flawless woman in my heart.

Thank you. In my heart, you are also the best and most perfect man in the world. Perhaps it is the illusion that makes you so perfect, your perfection even surpasses that of Eugene. Although I know that you may not be so perfect in reality, but I am still willing to deceive myself. Customer, tell me, how far is virtual reality from reality?

CHAPTER 603 - IF YOU UNDERSTAND IT IT WILL BE MORE PAINFUL

I said, What do you think?

I really don't know how far the virtual network is from reality, and I don't know why I would fall for someone I've never seen before, she said. If I could, I wish I'd never met you. If I didn't know you, I wouldn't fall for you, and I wouldn't fall for this guy in reality, so I wouldn't be in so much pain.

The virtual world and the real world are very far away, very close to each other. In fact, they might even be right by your side.

She said, I don't know what you mean.

If you don't understand, then so be it. If you do, you will be in even more pain.

I don't understand any more.

I said, If you don't understand, then don't think about it.

She was silent for a moment. "In fact, I've thought many times that one day you would walk into my reality. I wish that you could really walk into mine, wish that you were the real Ike, but I don't dare to think about it. I'm terrified of what I think. I know that I can't think like this, I shouldn't think like this. In reality, I have a girlfriend, in reality, I am helpless, in reality, my fate has already been decided. If you really walk into reality, if you are really a real guy, then I will suffer even more, and we will both suffer even more. I'm a tragic person and I don't even dare to daydream. I don't even qualify to daydream.

My heart continued to ache and I was speechless for a moment.

After a moment of silence, she said, Guest —

I'm …

You are my air.

Yes.

I'm not even your air.

Wrong —

Hai. She sighed deeply.

Don't blame yourself. Don't let yourself live in contradiction and pain.

Don't blame yourself, don't suffer, don't argue. Tell me, what should I do?

I don't know.

Sigh. Actually, I don't know. However, I understand that I cannot hurt others, and cannot do things that let others down. I would rather suffer myself than to harm innocent people. No, she said.

You mean Ike's girlfriend?

Well, I see her as a sister. She's a very good girl, and the point is, she loves Ike very much.

And do you love her?

I think so. He dotes on her and treats her well.

Yes. Somehow, I felt a sudden sense of comfort and balance.

Customer, do you think a woman would fall in love with two men at the same time? Is such a woman a bad woman?

I don't know if a woman would fall in love with two men at the same time, but I know you're not a bad woman. No matter how you feel, no matter how you feel in your heart, I firmly believe that you're a good woman, the best woman in the world.

What I'm most conflicted about is the problems of reality and the virtual world. Maybe I'm a fool, maybe I'm confused, you're a man in the air, he's a man in reality, I'm entangled, in pain, I really don't know what to do.

Since you don't know what to do, then don't think about it. The more you think about it, the more conflicted you become. Just let nature take its course.

I absolutely cannot let nature take its course. That way, I will destroy everyone and myself!

Then what do you want to do? What do we do?"

I don't know.

If you don't know, then don't think about it.

I'm trying not to think about it, trying to work my way through all this entanglement and pain, but in the dead of night, those things are crawling out of my heart, rooting my soul. Let me spend one sleepless night after another in solitude and uneasiness.

I replied lovingly, Ru Meng, when the time comes, you will come back. When the time comes, you will go back. What belongs to you will always be yours. What doesn't belong to you will also be yours. Trust in the arrangement of fate.

As I said this, my heart was filled with sadness. I knew that she and I both belonged to where we should go and both of us should not belong. This was the fate of me and her.

My mind is in a mess. Let's not talk anymore. After talking to you for so long, I feel a bit more relaxed.

That's good. Work well and live well. If one day you really forget about me, I won't blame you. I believe that this is all a matter of fate.

My heart continued to be sad.

It's easy to get to know someone, but it's very difficult to forget someone. She sent him a sighing emoji, Let's do it like this. I will live a good life. You too must live a good life in this world.

Because it's not easy to live, so we all have to live well.

I will remember your words. Customer, I'll be leaving now."

Go.

She really did.

I stared at the chat window on my computer screen, at the conversations I'd had with her.

After work, I walked out of my office and saw that the lights were still on in Qiu Tong's office.

She silently walked over and saw Qiu Tong standing at the window through the gap of the door that was not related to her death. She stared blankly at the city shrouded in darkness, a cigarette in her hand, and a green smoke that lingered in front of her eyes.

After a long while, she let out a deep sigh.

My heart sighed as well, and I quietly turned and left.

When we returned to the dormitory, Hai Zhu had already finished preparing dinner, so we started eating.

I ate absentmindedly, thinking about the afternoon's dreamy conversation with Lifestyle.

At that moment, my cell phone rang and was placed on the coffee table.

Before I could react, Hai Zhu had already picked up the phone. Looking at the caller ID, his expression changed slightly.

I turned to look at Hai Zhu. Who called?

Hai Zhu didn't pay any attention to me. Her eyes were fixated on the caller's number on the screen. Her expression was filled with worry.

I stood up and walked over and took the phone from Haizhu. The bell was still ringing.

He looked at the number and saw that it was Second Aunt Xia.

Looking at Hai Zhu's expression, I suddenly felt guilty and uneasy. I didn't know if the guilt and uneasiness towards Hai Zhu came from Qiu Tong or Xia Yu, or both.

I started to answer the phone in front of Hai Zhu. Hello, Manager Xia.

Second Master, why did it take so long to answer the phone? Xia Yu teased.

I'm having dinner with my girlfriend. Is there anything I can help you with? I did not answer the question.

Oh, that's right. I was with Big Milk. I didn't call you Second Milk when I was eating. I only thought of Big Milk, you heartless bastard. Xia Yu scolded me a few times before continuing, Alright, I know it's inconvenient for you to answer the phone, so you have to act dumb for me. Look at how reasonable I am, how understanding I am to you, how much I love you, but I won't let you be embarrassed in front of a big breast. What do you think of me? Speak!"

Mm, okay, okay, is there anything else?

No more, no more fun. I won't play with you anymore. Go home and eat dinner. As Xia Yu spoke, she hung up.

I put down the phone and looked at Hai Zhu, who had been staring at me from the side. Looking at her uncertain eyes, I patted her shoulder and smiled. Hai Zhu also forced a smile at me.

It's alright. Let's eat. No, I said.

Hai Zhu agreed and sat down to continue eating. Her expression was still a bit gloomy.

Looking at the expression on Hai Zhu's face, my heart ached. Hai Zhu was alone to support her love defense. The number of people to be wary of was increasing. Yun'er, Qiu Tong, Yuan Duo, Cao Li, and now a barbaric Xia Yu.

After dinner, Hai Zhu cleared the table. I sat on the sofa and watched Hai Zhu's busy figure. I thought about how I hadn't had a proper chat with Hai Zhu in a few days. I couldn't help but feel a surge of loneliness and regret.

After dinner, I went to the study.

I turned on the computer and lit a cigarette. I started to collect my thoughts and concentrate on the Sanshui project.

He already had the thought of forming it in his head, so he could just type it out.

Hai Zhu was in the living room watching TV. Her voice was very soft. I knew that she had deliberately turned down the volume. She was afraid to disturb my work.

After three hours, the plan was finally completed. I heaved a sigh of relief. Looking at the time, it was already 11 o'clock. I could hear faint sounds coming from the television outside.

I reworked it carefully, put it in the tray, turned off the computer, and walked out of the study.

The TV was still playing. Hai Zhu was already asleep on the sofa.

I turned off the TV and bent down to pick up the bamboo. There were still undried tears on its cheeks.

My heart shakes. Why is Hai Zhu crying?

I was staring blankly at Hai Zhu when Hai Zhu woke up. When he opened his eyes and saw me, he rubbed his eyes. Brother, are you done?

Ah Zhu, did you cry just now? What's going on? I bent over the bamboo.

A trace of panic flitted across Hai Zhu's face. She covered her smile and replied, No.

Don't lie to me, I can see your tears. No, I said.

Hai Zhu continued to conceal her smile. That was because I was just watching a TV show and was moved to tears by the plot.

Really? No, I said.

Really. Hai Zhu then stood up and grabbed my arm. Alright, brother, let's stop talking. It's getting late and you're also very tired. Go to sleep.

Hai Zhu pulled me into the bedroom, lay in my arms, tightly embraced me, silent.

I caressed Hai Zhu's hair. What happened just now that moved you to tears?

The female lead deeply loves the male lead, and the male lead also loves the female lead. However, because the female lead couldn't bear to have children, the male lead moved away and abandoned the female lead. The female lead, in despair, jumped into the sea and committed suicide. Hai Zhu said softly.

My heart skipped a beat and I said, That's just a fictitious story written by a screenwriter. Don't believe this. This isn't something that can happen in reality.

Tell me, if I were as sterile as that lady, would you abandon me like that man? Hai Zhu said.

What nonsense are you talking about? How can your good body bear children? Don't let your thoughts run wild! No, I said.

I mean if.

If that's impossible, then that's impossible. No, I said.

What if? Hai Zhu said stubbornly.

If it's true that I won't do it, if it's true, then I won't do it either. I will always be with you, and I will always take care of you. I said, Love has nothing to do with marriage or having a child.

Hai Zhu sighed. You are an idealist, and so am I. However, if it's really like that, then it's hard to accept in reality. Don't forget, you are the only son, how can your family accept that you don't have any descendants? Besides, even if your family can accept it, I can't. If I can't give you a child, how can I have the face to stay in your home?

I patted Hai Zhu on the shoulder. Ah Zhu, stop thinking too much. Why are you making all these assumptions? We are all healthy people, so of course we have children.

CHAPTER 604 - TREMBLING AND RIPPING

Hai Zhu raised her head and looked at me with a trace of fear and worry in her eyes, but she still smiled and nodded her head: Yes, we are all good people. Good people have to be rewarded. The heavens won't treat us this way.

I pinched Hai Zhu's nose. That's right, go to sleep.

Yes. Hai Zhu buried her head in my chest and quickly fell asleep.

I didn't feel sleepy at all, my eyes opened wide as I looked at the endless darkness. The darkness covered everything, and the consciousness that I had previously done with Hai Zhu also returned back to my mind, reminiscing about that trembling and tearing sensation. I thought about the scene in the afternoon with Qiu Tong, and I thought about the conversation with Fu Cheng in the afternoon on the Internet.

The next day after work, I printed out the plan and drove directly to Sanshui Group. I wanted to show it to Xia Yu.

Entering Sanshui Corporation's office building, I went upstairs. Just as I was about to head straight to Xia Yu's office, I met a middleman who respectfully said to me, Director Yi, please hold — —

I stopped and looked at him.

The chairman asked you to come to his office for a moment.

I'm looking for Vice President Xia. Isn't she in the office?

She's here!

I turned to look at Xia Ji's office. Xia Ji must have been standing at the window when I went upstairs. He saw me coming and wanted to talk to me.

Since Xia Ji wants to chat with me, that's fine too. It just so happens that I can give Xia Ji the solution.

I followed the man directly to Xia Ji's office.

He pushed the door open and entered. Xia Ji was standing at the window, staring outside. Upon hearing the voice, he turned around and walked towards me with a smile. Director, esteemed guest, come, please take a seat …

I couldn't figure out why Xia Ji had invited me here. Seeing him smile so subtly, I sat down.

After all, Xia Ji was the boss of a large corporation, and he always seemed to be unfathomable.

Xia Ji sat across from me, handing me a cigarette. Come, smoke …

I took it and lit a cigarette. Then, I looked at Xia Ji. Boss Xia, have you been busy lately?

Don't call me Boss Xia. You can call me Brother Xia. Xia Yu smiled, It's been pretty good lately, not too busy. Actually, this is how we do business all day long. There will always be endless things to do.

I asked, Brother Xia, why did you invite me here?

I saw you at the window, so I wanted to invite you to come and have a chat with me. Do we have to meet each other because of something? Xia Ji laughed.

I nodded. Mm, that's true. I came to your company today to deliver a plan to Vice President Xia Yu. Since you're here, I might as well give it to you."

I took the plan out of my bag and handed it to Xia Ji.

However, Xia Ji didn't pick it up. Since it's for Xia Yu, then I'll just give it to her. I won't take a look for now. All things should be done in accordance with the rules.

Xia Ji didn't want this plan. I was a bit disappointed. Damn, looks like I have to go to Xia Yu's office to meet this crazy girl who gave me a headache just thinking about it.

Xia Ji, seeing my subtle change in attitude, said, Little brother, has my little sister given you quite a bit of trouble recently?

I said, No!

Hehe, it seems like little brother is an open-minded person. Xia Ji laughed, then continued, Right, I heard from Xiaoyu that she has made quite a few good friends through you recently.

That's true. I nodded.

Not bad, not bad. My friends must be people worth making friends with. Can you introduce them to me sometime?

Sure, as long as you're willing, Brother Xia, there's no problem with that.

Bro, I presume you have quite a few friends in Hai Zhou? Xia Ji said again.

Not much, just a few people I know from work. I said flatly.

Hehe, aren't all of my friends your peers? Xia Ji said again.

Yeah, pretty much, most of them.

Most of them are. Does that mean I have good friends of my own age? Xia Ji looked at me, his smile still reserved.

Brother Xia, are you interested in this? I looked at Xia Ji.

It's just a casual chat, I'm not interested anymore.

I have a very good friend who has forgotten his years, a very good old man. We can speak whatever we want and we can talk it out! I laughed.

Xia Ji's eyes lit up. Looking at me, he said, If you know, speak your mind without reserve. Do you want to forget your years of friendship?

Yes! I laughed and said, Sometimes we're like brothers, sometimes we're like men. It's rare to have such a close friend in life.

Xia Ji laughed. I truly envy you for having such a close friend. Right, old friend, how did you meet such a good friend?

After saying that, Xia Ji's gaze turned a bit sharp as he stared at me.

Xia Ji's gaze made me feel a little strange. After asking this question, I felt a little strange. I frowned and looked at Xia Ji.

Is that important? No, I said.

Xia Ji then relaxed his expression. Laughing, he said, It's not important. I'm just asking. I'm just curious. Because I also want to have a close friend like you, so I want to know how you got to know each other."

Xia Ji sounded as though he was speaking in a very natural manner, as though he was speaking in a very relaxed manner.

I smiled. Bro, you might have friends from the past, right?

Xia Ji's expression became somewhat solemn. Friends who have forgotten their age, elders, and fathers. You can be called father, but you don't dare to be called brother.

I said, This friend of mine who has forgotten his youth, it is very easy to get to know him. It is just that I met him by chance when I was exercising by the sea. There is no moving chapter about it.

Xia Ji stared at me for a long time. Just by chance?

You're surprised? Impossible?"

Xia Ji laughed. Of course it's possible. That old brother is truly fortunate.

What good fortune? I was lucky to know him, but he was also lucky to know me. The old man and I were like friends at first sight. This person, man, let me tell you, it's fate that we meet each other.

Xia Ji pursed his lips, then continued to laugh. Brother, you're right. What are you trying to do with this old man you know?

I don't know why he likes me, but I know why he likes him. Han Ying Xue smiled and said, I'm not sure why he likes me, but he's a general of the market, and although he's a retired, his kung fu is really good. Because I like to interact with people with experience in life and I like to listen to things that are useful for my growth. The Old Master has given me a lot of things that are useful to me.

Xia Ji's mouth was half-open as he looked at me. So that's how it is. In that case …

So what?

Xia Ji laughed loudly. Nothing much. Little brother, you truly are fortunate. I truly envy you. I thought that it was indeed a blessing to be able to frequently receive the teachings of my elders. "

I said, Brother, let me be honest with you. Even without the teachings of our elders, you are already a profound mystery. I can see through a lot of people, but I can't see through you. I can't see through you, not because you're a billionaire, but because of your performance in front of me.

Xia Ji looked at me seriously. As you said it, old brother, I should listen carefully. It's just that I don't know what you mean by those words.

To put it bluntly, Brother Xia, in my eyes, you seem a bit mysterious, and also a bit unfathomable.

Xia Ji ignored my words. He stared at me for a long time, then said, Actually, I feel that you are a man with thoughts, old friend.

I hastily replied humbly, Bro, you flatter me. You can't compare to me.

Xia Ji said, Old brother, there is no need to be modest. Since I, Xia Ji, am able to sit in the position of the general director of this corporation, I have to prove that I am not a servant. I've looked into countless people, but people like you are indeed rare.

I chuckled. Brother Xia, you are too arrogant. I was just spouting nonsense. How could I come to such a conclusion? However, I agree with the words of your family's father. Regardless of whether it is for government or business, the path of success lies in the employment of people. "

Xia Ji's expression was somewhat absent-minded as he lowered his head to look at the tea table and muttered to himself, No wonder …

I said, No wonder what?

Xia Ji raised his head to look at me, then laughed. Brother, although we met through business, but I am willing to befriend you as a good friend. I don't know if you would be so kind.

I said, Bro, with such a big boss like you, to be so willing to meet me as a friend, isn't that a bit too low?

Xia Ji looked at me. Friends aren't made up of noble or lowly things. All you can say is the truth.

I said, Actually, we're already friends. However, a true friend has to go through trials and tribulations. I can see you as a friend, but I won't see you as a friend that lives and dies, because we don't have the time and space to test ourselves."

Xia Ji laughed. What you said is correct. I quite admire how straightforward and straightforward your words are.

I said, Even though we are a customer relationship and even though you are a big customer of mine, there is no need for me to curry favor with you. Our business interests are all mutual, and I think you chose our travel company not for personal reasons but for the group's interests.

Xia Ji laughed loudly. Right, you are right. That is indeed the case. Little brother, you are quite straightforward and straightforward.

I said, I'm a person who likes to make friends, but to make friends with someone like you, I want to make clear that this has nothing to do with your position and wealth. What I'm interested in is your character and character.

Xia Ji looked at me with an appreciative gaze. Yike, this is the first time I've seen someone like you. Although I can understand what you're talking about, you do look very powerful.

I said, I'm not that good. I'm just a small person.

Xia Ji said, You are not a small figure. You are a dragon in hibernation. Sooner or later, there will come a day when you will shock the world.

I felt an indescribable bitterness in my heart. I thought back to the past of my past, and I thought back to my previous business and glory.

I forced a smile. Thank you, brother. You and I are incomparable, and incomparable.

Xia Ji said, Even though you said that, it's not the truth. I can see that you are an ambitious person and you won't be satisfied with your current situation. You and I have an astonishing similarity in this aspect.

Xia Ji's words made me even more depressed, and I couldn't help but continue to bitterly smile.

I said, Brother Xia, I'm actually very curious.

Xia Ji said, What's strange?

CHAPTER 605 - UNIQUE

I said, I wonder why you would like to be friends with me. You have a lot of clients, you know a lot more people than I do, and I'm just an ordinary person who can no longer be normal. Why are you interested in me alone?

Xia Ji said, That's right. I know a lot of people. I know all sorts of people, but you only have one. In comparison, you are the one and only person. Actually, everyone is unique, but you are special.

I said, What's more special?

Xia Ji said, There are some words that I may not be able to explain, but I believe in one thing. There is fate between people. Perhaps, there is fate between your brother and I. Do you believe that?

I smiled. Maybe I should.

Xia Ji said, It's true. As the boss of the corporation, I have seen countless people. However, I have a whole new level of respect for you. You are not an ordinary person. I like being able to be friends with your brother, I am willing.

I said, Excluding your status and wealth, seeing you as an ordinary person, I also like to be friends with you.

Xia Ji laughed loudly. That's good. As long as you don't mind me, old brother, I like you very much.

I said, Actually, I called you brother, and you're only a few years older than me. However, even a big day is a big day.

Xia Ji said, That's right, that's right. Brother, I know that you have an official business to attend to today, so I won't be delaying you any longer."

Xia Ji obviously wanted to end today's conversation. Naturally, I knew what was going on, so I stood up to say goodbye to Xia Ji.

As I walked out of the door of Xia Ji's office, I deliberately glanced back at Xia Ji. He was looking at me with a thoughtful expression, and there was a hint of confusion in his eyes.

The look in Xia Ji's eyes confused me a little. Why was this kid looking at me like that?

But I don't want to think too much about it and go straight to Xia Yu's office.

After walking a few steps, he received a call from Xia Yu.

Aiya — — Second Master, I'm Second Mother, what are you doing?

I said, I'm at your group. I'll be at your office right away.

Ah, you're here. You're almost at my office?

Yes, I'll give you a plan. I'll be at the door of your office in a few seconds.

Ha. Really? Wait a minute. Wait a minute before you come in. Don't come in now. Xia Yu hurriedly said.

Thinking that it might be inconvenient for Xia Yu to change clothes in her office at this moment, I stood in the hallway for a moment and looked out at the workshop.

After about 2 minutes, my phone rang again. It was Xia Yu again. Second Master, why aren't you coming in? Come quickly. Second Aunt is waiting for you.

I didn't say anything. I turned off my cell phone and headed for Xia Yu's office. I walked to the door and saw that it was ajar.

Although the door was open, I still knocked on the door. Manager Xia, I am Yike.

Please come in — Xia Yu's serious voice came from inside.

I opened the door.

As soon as I pushed the door open, a cylindrical object fell from the top of my head, covering my head.

I was stunned for a moment, unable to recover my wits.

Then I heard Xia Yu laughing happily.

I hastily removed the thing on top of my head and saw that it was an empty paper basket.

Annoyed, I threw the basket on the floor and glared at Xia Yu, who was laughing loudly on the desk. What the hell are you doing? What nonsense!"

When Xia Yu saw that I was angry, she hurriedly stood up from her desk. Aiya, Second Master, why are you so angry? I wanted to give you a surprise. Look at the paper basket, it was so much fun, they only came up with this idea to welcome you in a hurry, why are you so boring, what kind of fire did you get into?"

I didn't know whether to laugh or cry as I looked at Xia Yu: Manager Xia, can you not be so mischievous, making fun of me all day long, do you think that it's fun?

Xia Yu clapped her hands. That's right, it's very fun, I just like to play with you, play with you, and be happy. Wakaka, aiya — Second Master, you came to see Er Niu yourself today. Er Niu is too happy, I can't think of anything to welcome you with, I can only use this paper basket.

I exhaled. Get out of my way.

Xia Yu pouted, feeling wronged, Second Master, this is my office. Let me go to the side, where can I go? Why don't you come and sit in my seat, I'll sit across from you and report back to you.

I shook my head. Alright, grandaunt, please don't make fun of me. Remember, I'm your client. I came to your office today to deliver a proposal to you.

Xia Yu giggled. Great, Second Master, the plan is complete. This is great. Come, quickly, Second Master, please sit. Second Mother will go pour some tea for you.

After saying that, Xia Yu ran over to close the office door and poured tea for me. She said, Second Master, there are several kinds of tea leaves here. I don't know what kind of tea Second Master likes to drink?

I sat on the sofa and said, It doesn't matter. I don't need tea. I just plain water.

How can that be? My second master is here. If second mother isn't a good waitress, then that big mother will blame you. Xia Yu giggled, seemingly very happy, "Second Master, Er Nai should bathe
