I'm really sorry for my low EQ.

"...Okay, I see, thank you Dong Xue."

Wu Yuan hung up the phone, and Wang Xiao put the key in front of him: "You asked me about the house two weeks before the accident, but now that kind of house is hard to find, I originally wanted to give it to him face to face, but now I will give it to you." You are the most suitable..."

Wu Yuan looked at the bunch of keys.

Wang Xiao forced a smile and said, "This house is where the two of you will live in the future, so he didn't forget to check the house every day when he was the busiest at work. We told him that there was still a year left. He couldn't be in a hurry to find it slowly, he insisted, he didn't expect it to come in handy now."

Wu Yuan gripped the key tightly, his palm turned white from the jagged edges and corners.

Wang Xiao knocked on the table: "Wu Yuan, don't worry, everything is done step by step, and it doesn't look so fragile. I am also trying to find a way to clear up the relationship."

Wu Yuan said calmly, "I'm not in a hurry."

Wang Xiao couldn't describe his feeling. His whole body was like a chord ready to go, and it might explode at any time. Even though he was two years older than him, he felt extremely nervous sitting in front of him. It takes a few seconds to look up at his face.

And this tension intensified instantly after he received Xue Jiana's call.

Xue Jian has a wide network of contacts, and according to the clues given by Wu Yuan, he quickly found out powerful news.

The power of public opinion is terrible. With only a few photos and distorted reports, Xu Yang was portrayed overnight as a profiteer who bribed state officials, colluded with the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development to make frauds and seek personal gain. Even if there is no other evidence, only those who The photo is enough for the people who don't know the truth to spray him to death.

At the airport, before bidding farewell to Wu Yuan, Xue Jian asked, "Do you think someone framed him?"

Wu Yuan nodded.

Xue Jian lowered his voice: "Do you have any idea who the other party is?"

Wu Yuan was silent.

The other party's purpose was not to put Xu Yang in jail.

Instead, let him have nothing.

No matter how high it was held before, how tragic it was when it fell.Even if he is acquitted at that time, Xu Yang's contacts, customers, and reputation accumulated in the past few years will evaporate in an instant, and his entire image will fall to the bottom.For a young man who has been proud for more than [-] years and has been engaged in the sales industry, unless he goes abroad, it is simply impossible to make a comeback with this kind of stain in China.

After leaving the tea room of Wang Xiao's house, Wu Yuan recalled Xue Jian's last question.

"Xiao Yuan, are you familiar with Ren Zhongwen?"

"Ren Chongwen...?"

A related person from the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development was escorted into a police car on the same day. The senior officials of the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development insisted that this person was just an administrative employee of the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development and had nothing to do with national development decisions.Xue Jian ordered his subordinates to search along this line, but in the end they found the name of an unfamiliar editor-in-chief of the magazine. He followed Xie Lin's line to check, and found that the person who made the connection was also the editor-in-chief of this magazine.

This should not be a coincidence.

******

"Mr. Wu, it's a surprise that you will come to me."

Ren Zhongwen sat on the sofa leisurely, and handed a cup of tea to the young man opposite him.

He hadn't seen Wu Yuan for several months. He didn't know that a person's appearance could change so much in a short period of time.He had always thought that Wu Yuan was handsome, but at this moment, perhaps because he was thin, his facial features were sharp and angular, making his eyes look deep and narrow, and because of his pale face, his eyebrows and eyelashes looked like brushes dipped in ink under the lamp It was ticked, and when he first entered the door, Ren Zhongwen could hardly take his eyes off it.

Leaning forward, Ren Zhongwen stared at Wu Yuan's face and said softly, "I heard something happened to Lu Hai? It was too sudden, how are you? You can tell me if you feel unhappy."

Wu originally had no expression on his face, but when he heard this, he suddenly raised his head and glanced at him.

Ren Zhongwen noticed a hint of sarcasm in his eyes, and said with a dry smile, "What's wrong?"

Wu Yuan: "Editor Ren, I have a question I want to ask you."

Ren Zhongwen breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "Why are you so serious, as long as you ask me, I will know everything."

"That's good." Wu Yuan put down his teacup and said with a "duh", "Editor-in-Chief Ren, "Lejia Property" has published a total of 120 issues. Before the 100th issue, almost none of them had an exclusive interview with Lvhai. Since issue 110, that is, the week when the Mansion No. [-] project was launched, you have never done anything about Green Sea."

Ren Zhongwen paused with his hand reaching for the teacup: "..."

Wu Yuan said indifferently: "Until the scandal broke out last Friday, Editor-in-Chief Ren, who hadn't paid attention to Lvhai for several months, actually followed up the report at the first time... The actions before and after this make me feel very strange, as if Editor-in-Chief Ren It’s like expecting that Mansion No. [-] will definitely go wrong.”

Ren Zhongwen's Adam's apple twitched, and he said with a smile: "Mr. Wu was joking, and I don't have the ability to predict. How can I know if a project will go wrong? It's just that I don't like to take risks. Mansion No. [-] has invested too much. If it fails, even my magazine will lose its brand name, and it has been proved afterwards that my decision was correct."

Wu Yuan lowered his head and raised his eyes, examining his expression: "Is that so?"

Ren Zhongwen's fingertips were chilled by these four words.

He suddenly realized that he had made a huge mistake. He was Xu Yang and Xie Lin's intermediary introducer. He had offered to help Lvhai more than once before, but now he contradicted himself and said that he was not optimistic about this project... Thinking of Wu Yuan's expression just now, he must have noticed this too.

Wu Yuan looked at Ren Zhongwen's increasingly pale face, "Editor-in-Chief Ren, I heard that you graduated from Class 1, Department of Actuarial Science, University B, do you know that my brother also graduated from that class?"

Ren Chongwen clenched his fingers, not knowing why he would suddenly ask this, forced a smile and said, "I know, I know, but I'm not familiar with Director Lu Shenqiu, and I only met once or twice in big lectures when I was in school."

"Director Lu Shenqiu?" Wu Yuan looked into his eyes, "Editor Ren, I haven't said who my brother is yet, why do you know that he is Director Lu Shenqiu?"

Ren Zhongwen froze, Wu Yuan said: "If I remember correctly, I have never mentioned my brother in front of the editor-in-chief, and no one knows about our relationship to the outside world, so how do you know that Lu Shenqiu is my brother?"

Ren Zhongwen: "..."

Wu Yuan took a deep look at him: "Did Editor-in-Chief Ren and my brother know each other a long time ago?"

Ren Zhongwen slowly put down his teacup, the smile on the corner of his mouth froze.

This expression answered everything, Wu Yuan stood up: "Thank you, Editor-in-Chief, I have nothing to ask."

He turned around, and the sound of flicking between his arms and the air woke Ren Chongwen up. He rushed forward and grabbed Wu Yuan's wrist without hesitation: "Mr. Wu!"

Wu Yuan was startled, and it was this start that made Ren Chongwen grab his thin shoulders instantly, and shouted with red eyes: "Even you think I did something wrong?!"

Wu Yuan paused at this sudden question, and Ren Zhongwen stepped forward aggressively: "Do you really think that the pen of conscience is so easy to make? Do you think I haven't tried hard? Do you think there is no point in not being tempted by interests in such a big environment?" How difficult is it? I just want to protect my magazine, is this wrong??"

It turned out that after the paper media crisis two years ago, not only Global Finance was blacked out, but also himself.

Lu Shenqiu was right in one sentence.

He's half a bottle of water, a bad guy who wants to be good.

But are there really good people in this world?

What became of them.

"Editor Ren," Wu Yuan pulled Ren Zhongwen's hand away after a while, "No matter what you do, it's your own choice."

He took out a tissue from the paper box and handed it to Ren Zhongwen, who was already in tears: "Right or wrong, you have already come to a conclusion, why bother to ask me."

If there is no good reward for a good person, why should a person be a good person?

The answer may not be that complicated - it may just be that they don't want to be bad people in their conscience.

When Ren Zhongwen was stunned, Wu Yuan had already left.

Sitting backwards on the business chair, he looked up at the ceiling.The scene of Jianshe flashed through his mind like a lantern, until it stopped abruptly two years ago, as if all his enthusiasm was stuck at that time of two years, and the scene after that was too strange, he refused to admit it .

Ren Zhongwen sat up and raised his hand to tap the space.

The computer screen lit up.

A small folder named "Recording Backup" was located in the center of the screen. Ren Zhongwen stared at it as if it was dazzling, then he slammed the host computer off, buried his fingers in his hair and let out a long sigh.

"Boy, are you all right?"

Wu Yuan turned his head, and the security guard downstairs was stared at by him, and he smiled awkwardly: "You look very bad, are you uncomfortable?"

Wu Yuan: "Thank you, I'm fine."

The security guard said with a smile: "I still have to eat. I usually run around at work, otherwise I won't be able to keep up physically."

Wu Yuan: "Okay."

Walking out of the office building where Universal Magazine is located, Wu Yuan raised his head, the sky was covered with clouds, as if it was going to rain, and the lead-colored clouds wrapped in golden lightning, making one feel something lurking and uncomfortable.

He didn't suddenly mention Lu Shenqiu in front of Ren Zhongwen.

It was the last name he wanted to be associated with the event, if he could.

However, before coming here, Xue Jian made a sudden phone call——

"Xiao Yuan, what happened to Ren Zhongwen may not be that simple."

"You mean—"

"I felt that this person was suspicious, so I asked someone to call up the list of shareholders of Universal Magazine."

"..."

"As a result, I checked and found that they just carried out a share transfer two months ago, and now the largest shareholder has actually become—"

Taking a deep breath, Xue Jian said in a low voice, "Became the co-chairman of Lvhai, Lu Shenqiu."

"..."

"Xiao Yuan, Ren Zhongwen and Lu Shenqiu may have teamed up a long time ago."

Wu Yuan raised his head, there was a loud thunder, and the rainstorm fell without warning.

There was a vast fog ahead, and a flash of lightning struck, reflecting the clouds in the distance clearly and white.

Just like the monster hidden in the rain, it finally revealed its true colors at this moment.

******

A week later, Lu Shenqiu, as the interim chairman of Lvhai, held a press conference.

Lvhai Group's intranet live broadcasted the whole process. At the meeting, Chairman Lu Shenqiu once again apologized to the public through the media for the "No. [-] Mansion" project, and announced a news that shocked the public-No. The development will be stopped, and the existing foundation of the project will be expanded again, and the famous German architect Norman will be invited to plan and design, from the largest domestic commercial complex to an international commercial complex.

That is to say, he will turn the originally worthless land into a piece of gold with his own hands.

As soon as the news came out, all walks of life were in an uproar.

The leaders of Haitou looked at Lu Shenqiu with admiration.

All previous doubts disappeared without a trace.Although the reputation of Lvhai has been damaged, it is said that if there is no change, it cannot move forward. Now Lvhai has completely become the world of the Haitou faction, and a major internal change is imminent. When the No. [-] mansion is completed, the current falling stock price will damage all The reputation of the company will be restored or even rise to the latest high point-anyway, the ups and downs of the stock market are commonplace for businessmen like them, and those investors who jumped off the building due to the turmoil of the stock market are out of their consideration.

Today, Lvhai staff cafeteria.

"Have you watched the previous press conference? Director Lu is so courageous!"

"Actually, if you think about it carefully, Director Lu is also pretty good. He is always so gentle, and he must be very kind to his subordinates!"

"That's right, Lvhai has been too risky these years. If you change to a steady and steady person, maybe you will break the previous business model, and your performance will definitely improve by leaps and bounds in the future."

"Dong Nian is indeed getting old. After such a big incident happened in the past two weeks, the old man just let us go. If Director Lu was not there, wouldn't we all have to drink the northwest wind?"

"Don't let Nian Dong let go at all?!"

Tian Yao couldn't listen anymore, interrupted a few chattering girls next to him, and shouted: "If the director hadn't resigned to appease the anger of the public, do you think you can still sit here peacefully? Then it will be called the real drink of the Northwest." The wind!"

"Why are you angry with them?" Liang Xinxin lazily stirred the milk in the glass without raising her eyelids: "There are so many ignorant people in society, how long will it take to explain one by one?"

"Who are you saying is ignorant?!" The female employee at the next table shouted.

Seeing this, Zhao Zhanfei and Wang Yiqun stood up and formed a human shield: "What are you doing? Are you causing internal disunity?"

Several female employees couldn't help but stomped away muttering, Wang Yiqun turned to look at Liang Xinxin: "Sister Liang, what should we do now?"

Liang Xinxin's face darkened. Although her tone was leisurely just now, her eyes revealed the uneasiness in her heart. Zhao Zhanfei couldn't help but said, "The new chairman is not as powerful as they say. The reason why he dared to do this is not because Mr. Xu The manager’s previous plan was well thought out? And regardless of whether the policy is true or not, the land price has already been raised by the surrounding developers, and the responsibility has been taken by General Manager Xu and Director Nian. He is just sitting back and enjoying the benefits in his current state!”

Liang Xinxin: "..."

Wang Yiqun scratched his hair irritably: "I don't know what happened. I always feel very uneasy this time. You say, if Lvhai loses the director, can it still be called Lvhai? The Lvhai we are in now, Is it still the green sea we used to love?"

No one answered him, and everyone fell into a daze.

Zhao Zhanfei leaned against the window and sighed, glanced out unconsciously, but this glance made him tremble suddenly, stood up and pointed downstairs, and shouted in disbelief: "Look!"

Everyone was so annoyed to death, they said angrily, "What are you looking at?"

Zhao Zhanfei patted the glass: "Wu Yuan, isn't that Wu Yuan?!"

Everyone was startled, and rushed over to look down, and sure enough, they saw a familiar black figure passing by the fountain pool, and in the blink of an eye, he had already entered the Green Sea Hall.

Zhao Zhanfei murmured: "Wu Yuan is back? When did he come back?"

There was a sound of chairs colliding beside him, and by the time he regained consciousness, the other three had already rushed down.

"Damn, wait for me!"

The four hurried down the elevator, and beside them, another elevator went up, sparking, to the top floor.

When Wu Yuan was led into the chairman's office by the secretary, Lu Shenqiu was sitting on the sofa drinking tea.

The handsome man in a suit and leather shoes raised his head, his face was more refined than ever with a smile on his face: "Xiao Yuan, why is it half an hour later than the appointment?"

Wu Yuan: "I was delayed on the way."

Lu Shenqiu glanced at the secretary indifferently. The secretary hurriedly closed the door and left. Only Lu Shenqiu and Wu Yuan brothers were left in the office. Brother, silently observed the changes in his facial features, he was tall, short, fat and thin, and after reading it, he opened his arms to Wu Yuan: "Long time no see, don't you want to hug brother?"

Wu Yuan looked at him, motionless.

He didn't move, but Lu Shenqiu walked towards him with a smile. He stopped pretending and bent slightly, his soft eyes fell on Wu Yuan's face: "Xiao Yuan, do you know what you look like now?"

Wu Yuan didn't speak.

Lu Shenqiu rolled his eyes and patted his head: "Like a discarded kitten."

Wu Yuan's eyes were cold, and his voice seemed to be ground from the bone: "Did you do it all?"

Lu Shenqiu was taken aback, and tilted his head in thought, "Which one is Xiao Yuan referring to?"

"Sand and gravel factory? The Banking Regulatory Commission? Or the new policy of the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development?"

Wu Yuan's expression became more and more serious, and Lu Shenqiu suddenly realized: "No, it seems that I did everything."

After saying that, he suddenly laughed out loud, shook his head and fell on the sofa, looked at Wu Yuan with disheveled hair, and said with a smile, "If you think about it this way, I'm pretty good."

Wu Yuan looked at him.

Under his gaze, Lu Shenqiu froze the corners of his mouth, his smile lost all the madness, and suddenly became soft, "Xiao Yuan, won't you ask me the reason?"

Wu Yuan: "If I ask you, you will answer."

"Of course," Lu Shenqiu looked at him tenderly, "I will always be honest in front of you, but why would I do this, Xiao Yuan can't guess?"

Wu Yuan frowned lightly. Lu Shenqiu had observed him for so many years, and he knew the meaning of every micro-expression in his heart. He knew that Wu Yuan was at a loss, and as an older brother, he was naturally obliged to answer his younger brother's questions. confused.

"Stupid," Lu Shenqiu stood up, and tapped his forehead playfully, "If I don't do anything, how can you two come back to me obediently?"

Wu Yuan was stunned.

Lu Shenqiu walked to the desk, picked up a stack of documents and handed them to him, "Of course I will reward Xiao Yuan for being so obedient."

A bad premonition faintly rose in Wu Yuan's heart. He didn't answer it, but Lu Shenqiu forced it into his hand: "Take it, you will definitely like it."

Wu Yuan: "..."

Lu Shenqiu smiled and said, "Xiao Yuan, I remember your dream is to be the sales director, right?"

Wu Yuan looked at the contract, bowed his head and remained silent.

Lu Shenqiu said softly: "This is your new contract, and your salary has also increased. From now on, you don't have to work so hard, and you can do whatever you want every day."

Wu Yuan: "..."

Lu Shenqiu swept over his drooping eyelashes, and said deliberately: "Why don't you talk? Don't you like Green Sea the most? You should be very happy to be doing your dream job in your favorite place, right?"

Sure enough, Wu Yuan's eyes flickered when he heard the word "Green Sea", and he bit his lower lip tightly. Lu Shenqiu smiled and took a panoramic view of this expression, grasped his weakness firmly, and continued to coax him patiently: "Now it is Luhai who entrusts you with this responsibility, Xiao Yuan, you will not accept it?"

The paper trembled slightly.

In the upper right corner of the contract, the green logo is in the shape of waves, which is the ebb tide sea. He took all the good memories after he entered the company on the shore, and went to the new fierce sea area and never returned.

Wu Yuan was clutching the contract, while Lu Shenqiu looked at him leisurely, waiting for him to nod.

At that moment, Wu Yuan finally realized that it was not only the green sea that was gone forever, but also many other things.

"What if I say no."

A cold voice hit the ground, and he raised his head a little.

Lu Shenqiu couldn't believe what he heard, "What?"

Dozens of pages of contracts were suddenly thrown down before his eyes. The page swept across his momentarily stiff face, and when it fell slowly, Wu Yuan's cold voice sounded: "Brother, what do you think of Lu Hai?"

The paper flipped, and Wu Yuan shouted with red eyes: "Why are you still so calm? Do you think you only ruined Lvhai's reputation?!"

"No!" Wu Yuan stared at him closely, and suddenly raised his voice, "Nian Dong and Lu Dong have guarded the dreams of thousands of employees for decades! Everyone's trust and love for Lvhai! All of this is being played by you Same ruined!"

The shout pierced through the door and resounded throughout the corridor. The secretary waiting outside shook his shoulders in fright. A dozen employees who had just finished the meeting passed by and stood there dumbfounded, not daring to move. They subconsciously told them that they should He left quickly, but his feet seemed to be stuck to the floor, and his heartbeat intensified.

Lu Shenqiu was smiling, or rather, he was trying to keep himself smiling, and the knuckles of his bent fingers felt cold. He tried to push his glasses, but failed. The frame slid down the bridge of his nose that was dripping with sweat. Bending down to pick up the paper on the ground, he said softly, "Xiao Yuan, calm down, do you know what you are doing?"

The water in Wu Yuan's eyes flashed his shadow, Lu Shenqiu looked at himself full of eyes, and passed the paper over: "Don't be angry, you still have a chance to regret it now."

Wu Yuan looked at him and suddenly smiled lightly.

Without even looking at the contract in Lu Shenqiu's hand, he raised his head: "Brother, when did you become like this?"

Lu Shenqiu froze, Wu Yuan picked up the bag, didn't say anything, and was about to leave, when Lu Shenqiu suddenly shouted, "Think clearly!"

Wu Yuan paused.

Seeing him stop, Lu Shenqiu's embarrassed expression returned to the posture of a superior, "Think clearly, after leaving this door, this contract, including your work in the upper city, will be cancelled. Lvhai doesn't need non-cooperation People, think about it carefully, weigh the gains and losses carefully, and don't be stupid."

Wu Yuan paused for five seconds.

He used these five seconds to recall his persistence and love for Lu Hai, and then, with the pain of parting, he pushed open the door. The sun outside the door was dazzling, he slightly squinted his eyes, turned his head, looked at Lu Shenqiu and said: " Brother, I feel sad for the Green Sea that you took over, and I feel sad for you who discredited Green Sea in order to bring down others."

There was a sound of people gasping in the corridor.

Sitting in the dark office, Lu Shenqiu's glasses flickered along with his trembling face, his expression couldn't be seen clearly.

The distance between indoors and outdoors is not that long, only the warm sunshine is like a barrier, separating the brothers who have been together for seven years on different tracks.

After Wu Yuan walked away, the secretary came back to his senses and ran into the office: "Director Lu, Director Wu is going too far, do you want me to—"

With a loud "bang", Lu Shenqiu threw all the computer files on the table to the ground, and shouted hoarsely, "Get lost!"
