The rich man on the run: The gangster is so hard to get rid of

Five years later, in City F, the headquarters building of the Ling Group.

At 08:30 on Monday morning, during the morning rush hour, people were coming and going in the lobby, and the waiting hall was even more crowded.

With a "ding-dong" sound, the elevator door opened, and more than a dozen people swarmed in in an instant. Within five seconds, the overloading sound of "di-di-di-di" sounded.

The elevator door closed, and the social beasts who had struggled to squeeze in finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Colleague, [-]th floor, thank you~"

"Twentieth floor, thank you~"

Everyone reported the floor in a hurry, and the people standing in front of the elevator control panel began to press the buttons hurriedly.

The time waiting for the elevator to climb is the best time for gossip.

Someone started the first gossip of the day, "Hey, hey, did you see it? The announcement was sent out last Friday and the new financial director joined today."

"The youngest financial director of the Ling family is less than 25 years old. I'm really curious about her identity?"

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, my surname is Ling!"

"I heard that he graduated from the University of Manchester in the UK and is a top student who returned from studying abroad."

Some people didn't believe it and raised questions, "Weren't there rumors before that Miss Qianjin would not join the company?"

"Our Ling Group is no longer what it used to be. We have been losing money for the past few years. Last month, the HR department's layoff target came down again. There are three people in each department..."

"I don't understand. Did our group offend someone? In recent years, the bids have been robbed by others, and we always fail to win..."

"Ding dong", the elevator door opened, the conversation just stopped abruptly, and another group of people got off.

The small elevator hall was finally a little more spacious, and everyone moved their bodies to make some room.

From the backmost position, the girl's cold voice came, "Colleague, help me press the 27th floor, thank you!"

When they heard about the 27th floor, everyone looked sideways, and when they saw the girl standing behind, they were all stunned.

The colleague who pressed the elevator button turned his head and his expression instantly became respectful, "I'm sorry, this elevator can't reach the 27th floor. The 27th floor is the president's office."

"Oh, so that's it!" After hearing the explanation, the girl smiled lightly, "Then help me press the 26th floor, and I can climb to the 27th floor."

After the button lights on the 26th floor came on, there was silence in the elevator, and no one dared to talk about the gossip just now.

Today is Lingtang's first day at work. Lisa originally arranged a driver for her, but on a whim, she wanted to experience the life of a social worker.

So she washed up early, had breakfast, let the driver go, and drove to work.

I have to say that the life of a social animal is quite interesting. At least she listened to the gossip in the elevator hall with gusto.

Loss, layoffs, consecutive missed bids...

Ling Xiao seemed to have never mentioned these things to her, even though he knew that the economic situation had not been good in recent years and it was difficult for various companies to survive.

But in Lingtang's heart, the Ling Group has deep roots and should not be where it is today.

Wearing high heels, she climbed with difficulty from the 26th to the 27th floor, only to find that there was an access control at the stair door.

With a sigh, Ling Tang took out his cell phone from his handbag and called Lisa, "Meet me at the stairs on the 27th floor!"

Lisa was leisurely sitting at her work station drinking soy milk. She received a call from Ling Tang and ran over without wiping the soy milk from the corner of her mouth.

Ling Tang's office is right next to Ling Xiao. It has large floor-to-ceiling windows and a front-line river view. It is considered the second best independent office in the Ling Group.

Her title and name - CFO, Ling Tang - are written on the office door plate.

There was a large bouquet of flowers on the desk. Lisa picked up the flowers and handed them to Ling Tang with both hands, "Miss Ling...oh no, Mr. Ling, this is a gift from the boss. Welcome to join the Ling family!"

The bouquet contains sunflowers and champagne roses, paired with eucalyptus leaves and white baby's breath, which is really beautiful.

In the past few days, the relationship between her and Ling Xiao had eased a lot, and they finally looked like normal siblings.

A few years ago, she would not have believed that her brother would give her flowers even if Ling Tang was beaten to death.

Ling Tang put the flowers on the table and sat down at the desk, "When will Mr. Ling come back from his business trip?"

"We are talking about Thursday. We have to look at the situation in Germany for details. If the situation is not good, it may be delayed."

Lingtang did not pursue the question any further, but asked Lisa some details about the company and the human resources allocation of the financial department.

In the afternoon, Ling Tang, who had just finished listening to the work reports from the senior managers and supervisors of the finance department, began to lie down at his desk and read Ling's financial reports for the past five years.

After watching less than a third of it, the landline phone on the table rang.

Ling Tang thought it was the company's internal line and answered it without thinking, "Hello, Ling Tang."

Si Guanyu's cold and slightly sarcastic voice came from the other end of the receiver, "You don't answer your phone calls, you don't reply to your WeChat messages, but your office phone is answered very quickly?"

It was a mistake. She knew she should have checked the caller ID before answering. She pinched her eyebrows in frustration and asked, "What's the matter?"

Si Guanyu never liked to be sloppy. Even though he knew that Ling Tang was pretending, he still directly explained the purpose of his visit, "At five o'clock, I will send a car to pick you up and go to the bridal shop to try on wedding dresses."

I took a look at the time. It was now 03:30. I was running out of time. "I just came back from England yesterday and I haven't had a good rest yet."

This statement was far-fetched. Si Guanyu sneered and asked, "Are you in a hurry to report to the Ling Group before you have rested?"

Being found out, Lingtang couldn't shirk anymore, so he had to bite the bullet and said, "Okay, I understand, I will go."

After speaking, Si Guanyu immediately hung up the phone without waiting for a reply.

Unexpectedly, less than a minute after hanging up, the phone rang again.

This time, Lingtang learned the lesson. She glanced at the caller ID to confirm that it was the number she just received, and chose to ignore it.

But Si Guanyu kept calling as if possessed.

When the bell rang for the third time, Ling Tang lost his patience anymore. He picked up the receiver and asked impatiently, "Is there anything else?"

Si Guanyu on the other end of the phone smiled successfully, "Happy first day at work!"

This blessing is really superfluous! Ling Tang sneered and replied, "Thank you!"

After hanging up the phone, she suddenly felt a little thirsty. She picked up the tea cup on the table, walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, and looked into the distance.

Outside the window, there were crowds of people and noisy streets, but there was an indescribable loneliness in Lingtang's heart.

Five years ago, she left this city frustrated and said goodbye to everything in the past. She thought she would never come back.

Five years later, in order to fulfill her engagement with the Si Ning Group, she had to return to this city and start over.

Shen Peizhi, this name that has been hidden in her heart for five years, this name that she does not want to mention, is inextricably linked to this city.

After many midnight dreams in a foreign country, she could always think of his face and shed tears while thinking about it.

There had been no contact for five years, and she had deliberately not inquired about his life.

I wonder how he is doing now. Is he getting married like her? Or are you already married and have children?
