As deep as you are as hell

Sensing that my tone had suddenly turned cold, Tang Shangque couldn't help breaking out in a layer of cold sweat, and the more he explained, the more flustered he became: "Mr. Chu and her seemed to have a good conversation at the ball. Disadvantageous position..."

I wasn't there that day, otherwise I should have seen joy in the corners of Chu Ting's eyes and brows.

"I heard that President Chu of Yuanshui Group helped the chairman with the hot search before. I thought that if President Chu was the chairman's friend, the chairman's road would not be so difficult..."

How can he get a glimpse of the past and relationship between me and Chu Ting?Even though Chu Ting helped me this time, how can he help me again and again in the future?
And who would be nice to another person unconditionally?
What's more, it is in the business district where you compete and bloody.

I sighed and didn't explain too much: "The hot search issue, I can solve it myself without Chu Ting. As a human being, we have to stand up on our own, how can we rely on others for everything?"

Tang Shangque's face was slightly hot, and his voice became smaller and smaller: "I see, chairman... But I still feel a little strange. President Chu crazily suppressed the Ji's Group before, and after the acquisition of the Ji's, he still treats the Ji's brothers and sisters. Kill them all. At the beginning, Mr. Chu made such a fuss about the matter, but recently, there is no news at all. Chairman, why do you think this is?"

"How much do you know about the real reason why Chu Ting rejected the Ji family?" I blurted out the name, only to realize that I was used to calling that person by their first and last names.

Tang Shangque scratched his head: "I heard that it seems to be for one person. But from my point of view, this possibility is not very high. Four years ago, Ji's Group still surpassed and oppressed Yuanshui Group. The two are competing Maybe it's because of commercial interests and monopoly that Mr. Chu targeted the Ji family."

"It's just that Chu and Ji's two families started discussing the marriage four years ago, but on the day of the wedding, Mr. Chu ran away from the marriage..."

But no matter how you look at it, it was obvious that the marriage between Chu Ting and Ji Jiarui at that time was a win-win result, and the two families would not be torn into the situation they are today.

I couldn't help but laugh, it turns out that in this circle, everyone really can't believe Chu Ting's bullshit affectionate theory.

As one of the protagonists in the word-of-mouth story back then, it is ridiculous that I am still deeply involved in it now.

"I guess, the Ji brothers and sisters should have fled abroad, that's why President Chu restrained his actions a lot... It's just that I didn't expect that President Chu, who looks so gentle as jade, has such a thunderous way of doing things."

Come to think of it, getting along with this kind of person is the scariest thing.

Because you never know what kind of beast is hidden under that glamorous skin.

Tang Shangque sighed again alone: ​​"At the beginning, Ji's Group was doing a lot of things in the venture capital circle of City A, but it has been going downhill in the past few years, and the ending is really sad. We, Mingshun... now want to Getting a foothold is also a challenge.”

I recalled Tang Shangque's starting point when he first talked about this topic with me, and it was only when I realized the question he raised amusedly that I answered it by myself.

Many things, as expected, are still clear to the bystanders.

Realizing that I hadn't spoken for a long time, Tang Shangque asked cautiously on the other end of the phone: "Chairman, is it because you don't like to hear what I say? Or, the chairman has already had contact with Mr. Chu?"

"No." In this short sentence, there was an inexplicable sense of sadness and determination.

"Then...Chairman, are you going to hold a reception banquet for that woman in Mingshun?" Tang Shangque's tone became more cautious, for fear that I would scold him bloody in the next moment.

"Do it." My tone was firm.

I can even imagine the astonishment of the tangsha bird on the other end of the phone when he heard this answer, his mouth was so wide open that he could stuff an egg.

"If I do, then I'm not Sofia. She takes over as she likes, and if she doesn't take over, she will go back to where she came from. Want me to bow down for her-there is no way."

Tang Shangque showed a sincere smile.Although I can't see it.

Tang Shangque and I continued to chat about some trivial matters about the company, and soon we also picked up the phone.

The faint fluorescence of the phone screen slowly dimmed, and the room was plunged into darkness.For some reason, I remembered an ancient poem I saw a long time ago: At that time, the bright moon was there, and it once returned under the colorful clouds.

But now, the bright moon has lost its light, and the colorful clouds have disappeared.

My face and body were covered with sticky sweat, so I got up and wanted to get out of bed and take a hot bath, but my ankles were so red and swollen that I couldn't move.

I laughed to myself, and the laughter seemed a little creepy in the empty room.

I thought of my recent misfortune and successive injuries, and finally began to wonder if I had suffered some karma somewhere.

But what have I done and missed all these years?
Why is it that the person who planted the most evil fruits has a smooth life and boundless wealth?
I rubbed my sore ankle, half arched my waist, and curled up into a small ball.

The phone rang again, it was my mother calling.

Strange, what time is it?Why is everyone so keen to pick this time to call me?
"Mom." I tried my best to hide the tiredness in my voice, and smiled brightly in the dark night, "Why haven't you rested so late?"

"Mom just thought of something suddenly... Jiaojiao, you shouldn't be angry with Mom today, right?" The mother's voice sounded a little lonely for some reason, and a little cramped.

I laughed and said, "Why am I angry with Mom?"

"Mom went on a business trip today, and I forgot to send you to the opening ceremony in the morning. Why did you forget about such an important moment?" The mother patted her head, and the incandescent lamp whitened her hair, "Other children have Parents accompanied me to the opening ceremony, and when Mom thought of you wearing a blue and white school uniform and standing alone under the red flag... Mom felt sorry for you."

So at this moment, her tone was full of flattery.

I froze in place for a moment, and even started to check the phone number again and again: "Mom..."

"Mom knows that you are a good boy. You never complain about Mom, but Mom knows that you must have resentment in your heart. Mom treats so many students as her own children, why does she neglect her own children so much? This is Mom still remembers what you asked me once."

"Mom, I've already graduated..."

And what my mother is talking about now is almost eight years ago.

What happened to her tonight?
"You... No, you're not my Jiaojiao. My Jiaojiao is only 17 years old, what kind of graduation, you are talking nonsense! Who are you, return my phone to Jiaojiao!" The mother's tone suddenly became sharp stand up.

I rubbed the center of my brows, as if someone had poured a basin of water from head to toe, and said coldly: "Mom, think about it, if Chen Jiao is still in her third year of high school, why would she answer the phone when you call her now?" ? Mom... where are you? May I go find you now?"

"Jiaojiao is in her third year of high school... She is at school, she doesn't have a mobile phone... No, Jiaojiao is already on vacation. No, no... Why can't I remember?"

My tone was coaxing: "Mom, I'm here, don't worry. You want to see Chen Jiao, so I'll go there now, okay?"

I keenly heard the sound of car horns coming from the background sound on my mother's side, followed by an angry curse: "Don't you understand the traffic rules? What kind of road are you crossing at a red light?!"

The car roared away, but my mother was so frightened that a string in her mind was completely broken, and she even lost the memory of where she was.

Alzheimer's disease is the most common type of senile dementia, but I never thought that it would come to my mother so soon.

"Mom." I said softly, but I didn't get a response for a long time, only the phone screen went off and on, on and off.

When I struggled to get out of bed and ran out, I didn't expect to see Chu Ting at the door.

He sat on a bench in the garden, next to a dim street lamp, and the shadows of the tall trees danced and trembled.

Cigarette butts scattered around his feet, forming a small circle, as if to form a barrier for Chu Ting.

Chu Ting lowered his head, and the broken hair on his forehead fell down to cover his eyes.

It is rare for him to wear a well-pressed suit, but a simple white T-shirt and black pants.But even so, his figure is still tall and straight, and his gray demeanor has nothing to do with him.

I buttoned up the hat of my sweater, trying to quickly walk past him as an invisible person, but my injured ankle didn't allow me to be so chic and neat.

Almost as soon as he moved, Chu Ting felt the movement from me, and raised a pair of calm eyes to look at me.

The look in his eyes... made me feel inexplicably sad. I felt like I was being stared deeply at by a wounded deer with wet eyes. The gradually hot eyes almost made me overwhelmed.

"Where are you going?" Chu Ting quickly extinguished the cigarette between his fingers, and stood up, "Are you... better?"

During the three days when he couldn't reach me, it's not that he never thought of calling me, but I blocked his WeChat and contact information one by one.

My mother cut off the phone suddenly, I didn't answer Chu Ting's question, and anxiously called my mother back, but the cold mechanical female voice reminded me that the other party had turned off the phone.

Chu Ting observed my expression and remained silent.He and the night seemed to blend together, and I couldn't figure out his true thoughts more and more.

Three minutes later, I sat in the co-pilot of the Chu Ting commercial vehicle, and silently fastened my seat belt.The cramped interior space is permeated with an awkward and slightly ambiguous atmosphere.

As if to relieve my tension, Chu Ting casually said something to me, and he seemed to see that I am most afraid of embarrassment and silence at the moment: "I still remember what I heard about you from those field doctors in Somalia. Glorious past'. They said that it was not a coincidence that you met Lisa, the boss of the Black Rock Group, but it was planned long ago, right?"

"What I admire the most is that you obviously have motion sickness, but you can force yourself to hone your driving skills to this level... So, you are at least a convincing opponent who can make me lose."

"It's also because of this that I cut off the project of Borui Group halfway, can you turn a blind eye and let me do it?"

Chu Ting showed a faint smile: "Miss Sofia thought she was acting recklessly?"
