The other side of the city - New York, USA

The sky is colorful and beautiful, and the afterglow of the setting sun gently brushes over the earth like a soft veil, releasing the last aftertaste, bringing a touch of soft beauty to this busy city.

On the top floor of a towering luxury building, a slender oriental man stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, looking at the last smear of red in the sky, as if he was admiring the last rays of the sun, but he didn't know when the handsome face climbed. There is a trace of loneliness and loneliness.

Suddenly the man took out a golden round pocket watch from his pocket. The pocket watch was engraved with exquisite patterns and was tied with a thin pure gold chain.

Looking at the shiny pocket watch in his hand, those memories of the past flooded in like a tide.

It was a spring full of flowers. A girl carved in pink and jade came to his house with the adults. As soon as he entered the house, the adults were busy playing mahjong and asked him to take care of this fairy-like girl. He was very nervous after communicating with the girl.

On the contrary, the girl was very bold and lively, took the initiative to hold his hand, and called her brother affectionately.At first, he didn't know what to do, but after hearing her call her more times, he gradually began to accept the title, and he became less restrained towards her.

Later, the two played a game of simulating the marriage of adults. The girl said that she was going to be the bride, and he was her groom. But during the ring exchange process, because there was no ring, the girl thought hard for a long time, and then donated her pocket watch out, presumed to be a ring, and he contributed his tiepin, also presumed to be a ring for the bride.

Afterwards, the two happily exchanged "rings".

Today, the girl may have forgotten the game, but he has never forgotten it.Because since then, he has fallen in love with this girl who is five years younger than him, and looks forward to the day when she will truly become his bride.

The thumb gently stroked it back and forth, as if caressing a rare treasure in the world, so careful and cautious.

"It would be great if I could also hide you in my pocket!" The man looked affectionately at the pocket watch in his hand, as if he saw the little face that thought about it day and night through it.

After finishing speaking helplessly, he sighed softly.

Over the years, many things in the world have changed, but what remains the same is the love for her and the pocket watch in her hand.

Knock, knock, someone knocked on the door.

"Come in!" the man said in a low voice, and then reluctantly put the pocket watch into his pocket.

The door opened, and a middle-aged man in a suit, with crew cut hair and gold-rimmed glasses entered.

"President, everything is going well in Paris! Kelly will make a move tonight!" The man nodded slightly and said respectfully.

This result seemed to be expected by the handsome man. He didn't show too much excitement, but slightly hooked the corners of his mouth, raised his eyes, and looked at the colorful sky. It's a good show!"

The words were surprisingly flat, as if he was talking about what to eat tonight.

The handsome man who spoke was the president of the Ling Group, a legend in the American jewelry industry——Ling Xiao, who was only 30 years old and currently unmarried.

And Zhengping was his right-hand assistant, forty years old, with a bright mind, rigorous workmanship, and clever means. Many things that were inconvenient for him to come forward were all handled by this special assistant.

For example, this time designing Shangguan Nan, from the beginning to the end Ling Xiao never made an appearance, never left New York, and never took the initiative to contact anyone.

Zhengping is Ling Xiao's right-hand man. Since he took over the Ling Group, Zhengping has followed him all the way. He trusts this assistant quite a lot. Zhengping basically knows almost everything about him, even including his feelings. Of course, Zhengping also He is very loyal to his master, respects him, and never goes beyond half a point.

The ancients said: Thousands of troops are easy to get, but one general is hard to find.

These words could not be more suitable for Ling Xiao, without this strong general, he would not be able to do well in the highly competitive America.

As if he was used to his plainness, Zhengping, who was full of eyes, was not surprised, crossed his hands in front of him, and said very firmly: "President is wise! Shangguan Nan can't escape this time!"

Hearing the words Shangguan Nan, Ling Xiao couldn't help thinking of all the past, the hatred and unwillingness buried deep in his heart sprung up in his heart like mushrooms after a spring rain, he clenched his palms into fists, and said word by word: "Monk can run away!" , can’t escape the temple!”

Zhengping nodded in agreement, touched his stubbled chin, and said proudly: "The president is right, we are in the light, and he is in the dark. From now on, we just need to wait and see what happens, take the initiative by not moving, and stop by stillness." !"

Now it seems that they did take the lead, but Ling Xiao was not complacent, turned around, looked at Zhengping in front of him, and asked directly: "Is everything ready?"

"President, don't worry! Ethan said that he and his organization are on call at any time, following the dispatch of the president!" Zhengping nodded solemnly.

Ling Xiao sneered, "Hmph! Waiting for orders at any time? They are all guys who only want money. If Shangguan Nan pays several times the money, will they still obey me?"

Zhengping remained silent.

After a while, Ling Xiao turned around again, and pointed at a building towering into the sky outside the window, as if taking precautions, "We must be prepared for everything, not afraid of ten thousand but just in case. When we came here, OR The group is dying, if we suppressed it from various aspects at that time, it will not hinder us now!"

Speaking of the OR Group, Zhengping is now blaming himself. Every time he sees the building opposite the Ling's Building, Zhengping will think of his mistakes three years ago. He thought that the endangered OR Group was in Ling's pocket. I didn't expect it to be an unbeatable Xiaoqiang. In the past three years, the OR Group, which had been drowning for a while, turned over from salty fish.

As the saying goes: 30 years in Hedong and 30 years in Hexi, but OR Group has three years in Hedong and three years in Hexi.

Able to cope with the financial crisis, a steady climb is just around the corner.

Glancing at the OR building, Zhengping quickly lowered his head, "The president taught me a lesson!"

Ling Xiao put down his hands, still staring at the obtrusive skyscraper, "Let's be more careful, Shangguan Nan is not easy to deal with, show me the one who is in charge of finances, I don't want the problem to come from him!"

"The president is right, I'll explain it now!"

After Zhengping finished speaking, he quickly left the office.

At this time, the sky was gradually getting dark, and the bustling city from a distance also dimmed. Dark red clouds floated low, and large patches of red came into people's sight.

Looking at the fiery red sky, Ling Xiao's eyes radiated the light that he must win, "Shangguan Nan, our contest has begun, and I must get what I have no matter what!"

……

Shangguan Nan felt that his limbs were weak, and he felt drowsy. He glanced at the time and wondered why he was so exhausted today.Usually, even if you work all night long, you won't be so tired.

Is it...?
Shangguan Nan, who had participated in special training, immediately realized that there must be something wrong with the food he just ate. Looking at the empty plate on the table, he secretly hated himself for being careless. Lifting the tablecloth vigorously, with a sound of "snap!", the plates on the table shattered to the ground.

As if still not relieved, Shangguan Nan paced back and forth vigorously in the room, trying to expel drowsiness with this, while chanting indignantly:

"Grandma, you actually tampered with the food! If you want me to sleep, but I don't, I don't believe it. If I don't sleep, what can you do to me?"

Shangguan Nan reminded himself repeatedly, but within a few steps, his head seemed to be heavy again, and his eyelids still sank.

"You must not sleep at this time, you must not sleep..."

It seemed that the medicine was administered so violently that Shangguan Nan, who was usually very restrained, felt powerless.

Such a self is very dangerous, and the remaining rationality tells Shangguan Nan that he must find a way to make himself completely sleepless.

But right now there is no doctor and antidote, how can we get rid of the medicinal properties?

pain!
Such a word suddenly flashed in Shangguan Nan's mind. It seems that many years ago, the special training coach told himself that if he wanted not to be fascinated by the strange medicine, the only thing other than the doctor was to let himself suffer physically. There is no other way.

Thinking of this, Shangguan Nan's eyes were hazy, and he walked limply to the bathroom, picked up the razor on the vanity table, raised his other hand to shave the sharp edge, and a pain instantly penetrated the nerves of his brain , Shangguan Nan suddenly lost all sleepiness, and the blood on the palm of his hand was gurgling out.

Seeing the blood staining the cuffs, Shangguan Nan didn't intend to bandage the wound at all, but stared steadily at the warm blood blushing the entire sleeve with his big eyes.

Now that he is fully awake, he wants to let himself remember forever, this is the consequence of his momentary carelessness.
