As deep as you are as hell

"Mr. Chu is really 'unstoppable'. It stands to reason that we have shared weal and woe, and we are indeed qualified to be friends. But people like me just don't want friends anymore. My ex-fiancé, from the beginning Approaching me under the pretense of being a friend, and then abducting me... In the end, the relationship between the two of us ended up like this, and I have PTSD."

So, if you can stop being a friend, don't be my friend.

Who dares to stare at the darkness in the abyss?

The expression on Chu Ting's face did not show any displeasure after being rejected. Instead, he changed the subject: "By the way, didn't Miss Sofia say that she is from London? I didn't expect Miss Sofia to be able to speak Mandarin so fluently." .”

"I enrolled in the class and learned it seriously... Speaking of it, I was so sad because of the back and forth nasal sound and the flat tongue that I even grew white hair." My tone was relaxed, and the words were true and false.

Chu Ting seemed to be amused, and was about to answer, but saw my figure flicker, about to fall down the narrow stone steps.

Seeing that half of my face was about to fall to the ground, Chu Ting suddenly grabbed my thin waist, and I fell into his arms.

He hunched over and we were close together as he held me, his chin resting on my shoulder.Our breaths are intertwined with each other, and I can hear his heart pounding.

I hurriedly pushed Chu Ting away, if he was slower, he would probably be able to notice my fast heartbeat.

The evening wind was cool, and it blew over people's faces, and it also blew away the charming atmosphere between me and Chu Ting.

City A is a city that never sleeps, and it is always brightly lit at night.The streets and alleys are also lively, and the bars and discos have gathered too many tired and heavy souls.

And I know that there is not much free time left for me.The time to take a leisurely walk with Chu Ting like tonight will only become less and less in the future.

Chu Ting sent me back to the villa, handed me the medicine in his hand, and reminded me gently that I must take the medicine on time.

In the end, his palm opened upwards, and there were several pieces of chocolate candies.The candy paper is colorful and shiny.

That night, unexpectedly, I had a long-lost sleep.

However, the company's affairs were still complicated. On the issue of investing in Lichen or Dingtong, the company's senior management held regular meetings one after another and listened to rounds of analyst reports.

There are more and more people leaving in the office with a slap in the face, everyone is short-tempered, and they can't swallow honest and harsh words.

I also had the illusion that these people in suits and leather shoes in the office were not my partners who wanted to fight side by side with me, but wolves, tigers and leopards who wanted to share profits.

Every time there is one more person who shakes his face and leaves, the solemnity on my face increases.In the end, I slammed the documents in my hand on the table: "If everyone can't sit down and discuss these matters, then get out of here! When your emotions calm down, get out of here!"

I propped my elbow and rubbed my temple with one hand, taking a long breath of oppression, but I didn't know how to relieve it.

Not only me, but all the high-level attendees can see that there is an internal crisis in Mingshun Venture Capital, and everyone's cohesion is not strong, and the recent project disputes have deepened the estrangement between each other.

In all my years in the venture capital world, I have never encountered such a problem.

Moreover, this kind of internal problem makes me more physically and mentally exhausted than external shocks.

I thought about calling Gu Jian, but the calls I made were always like nothing.In the end, I learned to digest these resentments and complaints by myself slowly, and no longer expect to confide in anyone.

In order to invest, I had to work overtime and stay up late, so I actually slept in the office 23 days in May.Falling asleep at [-]am and waking up at [-]am was a life of hardship for me.

When I checked the relevant materials of Lichen Group, I was surprised to find that Lichen Group had not only submitted a public offering prospectus to Mingshun Venture Capital, but that most of the other venture capital companies that received this prospectus were just start-ups and small companies. capital group.

As a major Internet company, why not look for companies like Yuanshui Group in the same echelon?

Privately, analysts have spoken to me about the attitudes of other VC firms.

Those small businesses all want to win this project, and they are bound to win it. Naturally, they also regard Mingshun Venture Capital, which has the greatest threat to them, as a thorn in their side.

I'm afraid that at the "Lee Chen Treasure Gathering Party" held by the Li Chen Group three days later, many hidden guns will be aimed at Mingshun Venture Capital.

My focus is on the Li Chen Treasure Gathering.

This press conference is to build momentum for the software "Lichen Jubao", and the two software advantages of high returns and short returns are indeed full of gimmicks.

But my attitude is not optimistic. Yu'ebao and Lingqiantong have almost monopolized the entire online banking deposit market. How can Lichen Jubao break out of the encirclement until it walks out of its own smooth path?

On the day of the press conference, I carefully selected the dresses, but found that the mermaid skirts and the hollowed-out dresses could not hold up by themselves.

After picking and choosing, it turns out that the cheongsam is the most suitable for my current temperament.

The color of the cheongsam is light and elegant, and the ice blue fabric is embroidered with white clouds, which makes my whole temperament softer.I put my hair into a bun, and a mahogany hairpin was inserted obliquely into the bun.

A few strands of hair were hanging by my ears for decoration, but the hearing aid was hidden for a while.After searching for a long time, I found a pair of in-ear hearing aids about the size of a Bluetooth headset.

I painted myself a light makeup, and carried a small fragrant white underarm bag.

"Long guns and cannons" have already been set up at the conference site, and various media are in place, snapping and taking pictures.

I found my seat and sat down. I scanned the venue, but I didn't see Chu Ting.

And the bosses of some venture capital companies always glance at me intentionally or unintentionally, and the smiles on the corners of their mouths reveal a bit of weirdness.

This is the first time I wear an in-ear hearing aid. I am not used to it and have adjusted the hearing aid many times.

The president of Lichen Group is young and promising, he is only about the same age as me.

She has a strong aura on her body, and her high ponytail is tied up, making her look even more sassy and crisp.

The rhythm of the early stage of the press conference was steady and orderly. The president of Lichen Group did have two brushes, which made me secretly change my opinion on her.

But the software of Lichen Jubao is not fully mature, let alone marketed.I secretly sighed in my heart, and felt that this move by Lichen Group was really a pity.

And... Dingtong Company, it seems that they have sent a representative here this time too?
My gaze began to wander around the venue, and finally settled on a big boy in a white shirt with a childish face.

His body is as straight as a pine and bamboo, his fingers are intertwined, and his eyes are focused on the president of Lichen Group.

There is a guest card on the table.It turned out that his name was Jiang Yu.

The meeting report was lengthy, and I yawned out of boredom, and my eyelids drooped heavily.I rubbed my temples, wondering how long it had been since I had a good night's sleep.

I was bored and let my thoughts wander, but suddenly I heard my name from the president of Lichen Group.

Immediately afterwards, there was a strange voice of protest: "It turns out that Lichen Group went to Mingshun Venture Capital from the beginning, so why hold this press conference with great fanfare? Are you trying to treat us all as fools?"

I didn't even know what happened, but I saw all the people present cast their eyes on me, as if they wanted to smash me into a sieve.

"I have long heard that the relationship between Lichen Group and Mingshun Venture Capital is unusual, and I finally saw it today. But since Lichen Group has decided to hand over the most profitable projects under the company's name to Mingshun Venture Capital, Why did you submit the public offering prospectus to us in the first place?"

"Besides, Mingshun Venture Capital has only been in operation for three months since its listing. Why should such a company stand on the same starting line as us?"

"This kind of company is still a branch company established by Heiyan Group in City A. But how did I hear that the president of Mingshun Venture Capital is a cancer in the industry? He likes to grab the projects of his peers and make trouble for his peers. Lichen Group treats such a company It is also included in the scope of cooperation, is it too flattering Mingshun Venture Capital, or is it trying to trigger the so-called eel effect?"

Listening to these chattering words, I found it strange that Mr. Li of Lichen Group just asked me in public if I had any intention to invest in this software.
And these small venture capital companies seem to have made a private agreement, everyone has figured out what crime to put on me.

I kept quiet and didn't say a word, which made the chattering people feel sympathetic. They all said that if you know yourself and the enemy, you can win a hundred battles, but why can't they guess what I'm thinking?
Some media with a machine pointed the flash at me, and took pictures of me with clicks and clicks.

The white light hurt my eyes, and I subconsciously raised my hand to block it.

But I suddenly felt that my shoulder was hit by someone, and I almost fell off the seat.

I barely stabilized my figure, but my hearing aid fell out of my ear, and I was kicked under the table and into a dark corner.

The person who bumped into me hurriedly apologized to me: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry...Miss Sofia, I just saw that your water glass is empty and I want to fill it up..."

Something is wrong... nothing is right about it.

With so many spears and cannons aimed at me, how could there be a waiter so mindless pouring tea at the front end?

And it was all so coincidental that the waiter just knocked my hearing aid off, and then kicked my hearing aid away.

It seems that today's press conference is a "Hongmen Banquet".

But in any case, they are almost halfway there.

I barely raised my head, and I seemed to see that everyone's lips were moving up and down.But I couldn't hear what they were talking about.

Angry, irritable, and humiliating eyes were delivered to me, as if the rising tide was going to swallow me completely.

Countless microphones were scrambling to hand them in front of me: "Miss Sofia, aren't you going to explain?"

"Borrowing geographical differences and policy bonuses, your company was secretly listed in City A. It didn't even take a month before and after Mingshun Venture Capital's business license was approved. Didn't Miss Sofia really go through the back door?"
