I'm really sorry for my low EQ.

"Director Lu, several employees of the sales department have collectively handed in their resignations!!"

"There is also the commercial real estate department! Director Lu, what should we do? Who will conduct the follow-up investigations if they are not in Mansion No. [-]?"

"Director Lu, those little girls from the marketing department just started making a fuss in the department!! They even incited others, you have to think of a way!!"

"It also said that this month's salary is not required, I have never seen anyone who has trouble with money!"

"Director Lu—"

The secretary quickly closed the door and blocked everyone outside. He turned around and looked at the unresponsive Lu Shenqiu in the office, wanting to say something but daring not to say it.

Lu Shenqiu leaned on the leather chair and sat still in front of the computer.

Most of what those people said just now was filtered out by him.

He was distracted because of the email he just received in front of him.

The rimless glasses reflect the white light on the screen, and the group logo at the end of the sender's email is very familiar to Lu Shenqiu, or in other words, it is very famous in the world - Sisco Fund, just stated in their semi-annual report that the second half of the year Planning to enter the domestic market, this email is also talking about the "cooperation" issue with Lvhai.

The name is cooperation, but the real purpose is to acquire Lu Shenqiu's 30% shares in Luhai at a total price of billions.

Putting his hands on his forehead, Lu Shenqiu looked at the condescending email from beginning to end, with an unbelievably absurd and wry smile on his face.

Could it be that in the eyes of those stupid foreigners, he has failed with the company to the point where it needs to be acquired?

Even if only 30% of domestic enterprises are acquired by foreign enterprises, once this matter is leaked out, it is unimaginable how much criticism Lvhai will receive in the society.It turned out that he had never been scolded, but at that time the pillars of the green sea were Nian Guoyong and Lu Liwei, and it had nothing to do with him, but not now, and now all the dirty water directly poured into the green sea will be directly counted on his head.

"Director Lu," the secretary hesitated, "Do you want to..."

"You go out first." Lu Shenqiu said.

The secretary stood still and dared not leave.

"I'm tired."

Lu Shenqiu took off his glasses and dropped them on the table with a dull sound.

The leather chair turned out of the window, and when the middle line of sight passed the cabinet full of books, the photo of Lu Liwei on it stuck into his eyes like a needle.He imagined that the other party was walking towards him arrogantly, and he felt ironic and ridiculous when he said "I'm so disappointed in you" face to him.

"Director Lu, we have to talk about this today!"

Minister Hou slammed the door open, but the secretary couldn't stop it even if he wanted to. With a bang, Minister Hou slapped it on the desk. Lu Shenqiu glanced at him and said with a smile, "Minister Hou, regarding the later stage funds of Mansion No. [-]— "

"Do you still have time to think about Mansion No. [-]?" Minister Hou was maddened by his unhurried expression, "Director Lu, now that so many employees are resigning, you, as the interim chairman, must come forward to stabilize the mood? I should have known earlier With your attitude, we shouldn't have driven Lu Liwei out at that time, I really regret it now—"

Lu Shenqiu squeezed the space between his brows and put on his glasses.

"Just invite her back again?" He said with a warm smile.

Minister Hou frowned: "..."

"You have no face, please," Lu Shenqiu said, "Since you have no face to invite back those who have personally kicked out of the stage, you should go back and deal with the matter of Mansion No. [-] in a down-to-earth manner. It is their freedom for those people to leave, and it doesn't matter if one or two is missing. , Luhai doesn’t need this kind of person.”

Minister Hou shook his head and laughed: "Director Lu, do you really think you can represent Lvhai?"

"what?"

Minister Hou said sadly: "Since Director Nian left to now, have you counted what things you have really done for Lvhai?"

Lu Shenqiu's smile froze.

Minister Hou: "It turned out that when Director Nian and the others were here, everyone was excitedly thinking about what to do next project every day, but you, Director Lu, are eager for quick success and instant benefits, and change the things that the group has insisted on for decades. What are you? Are you here to take over Lu Hai, or are you just proving yourself?"

Lu Shenqiu didn't answer a word.

The secretary couldn't help but stepped forward: "Minister Hou, aren't you a bit too much..."

"Where have I been?!" Minister Hou spit and spit, "If I don't say anything else, Lvhai will be fucked!"

The secretary's ears were buzzing from his yelling, and Minister Hou was about to slam the door out after scolding him. Before leaving, he took one last look at Lu Shenqiu, "I will deal with the follow-up funds of Mansion No. As the accusation of the chairman, don't be kicked out by the shareholders at that time, and leave a mess for us to clean up for you!"

Which eye were they blind in the first place?

How could he believe that Lu Shenqiu, a half-way monk, would lead Lu Hai to a new world.

Minister Hou sighed.

Contrary to Lvhai's situation, a new office under the Changqing Group, namely Xu Yang and Wu Yuan's new house, is almost overwhelmed by the employees who come to join them these days.

If the tables are placed together, the living room can only be placed in two rows at most. Two people sit in front of each large table, and several people are left standing. On the day when there are the most people, the room is like a party.

Young people in their twenties, naked words are a bit heroic, and they gather together to complain endlessly, not to mention Wang Yiqun, who is the most hyped, and everyone is full of enthusiasm for a while, eager to start The Research Plan of the Grand Triangle.

Under such circumstances, Xu Yang wanted to do something like guarding against thieves.

Although it's at home, it's more office romance than office romance.

"Since they are taking the international route, we might as well take the domestic route."

Xu Yang leaned against the edge of the bathtub, pulled Wu Yuan over and sat on his lap, surrounded by tiles, adding a stereo surround effect to his voice, "Now many technology companies and e-commerce in our country are developing very fast. If those large international companies are brought over, it is better to support our domestic large and medium-sized enterprises.”

Wanliu District, where the Grand Triangle is located, is the center of education and scientific research in Xincheng. Not only are there famous schools and houses around, but many cutting-edge things in technology and electronic products are born here.It may not be possible to create a style street like the No. [-] Mansion, but it is possible to adapt measures to local conditions and do some projects that can truly link with the local culture, and it is easier to get strong support from the government.

Wu Yuan thought for a while, "It can be a user experience center."

Xu Yang's eyes lit up, "Tell me about it."

Wu Yuan: "Many people don't know our country's brand now. To build such an experience center and divide it into several display areas, visitors can try these latest educational and electronic products at any time..."

He was thinking while talking, when Xu Yang heard this, he suddenly thought about it: "How about making it entertaining and educational?"

Wu Yuan's eyes also slowly lit up: "Senior means..."

Xu Yang nodded: "Well, children nowadays are exposed to new things faster than before, and they have a lot more power to speak in front of their parents, so why don't we build a part of it into a domestic technology experience on the basis of the user experience center? Museum, cultivate their confidence in domestic brands from an early age.”

Wu Yuan listened carefully, and Xu Yang continued: "Evergreen is an investment company after all. We can't repeat the mistakes of Green Sea's high debt in the past. Supporting new technology is one aspect. Doing so can also attract people who are interested in the development of electronics. Investors who are interested in joining Changqing, with the profits in this area, it will be difficult for Xue Dong not to agree."

Wu Yuan shook his head.

"Ideals must be based on reality."

He remembered what Qin Jing told him at the time.

After hearing Xu Yang finish speaking, he seemed to have a deeper understanding of this sentence.

Maybe so.

The general direction and the rough idea of ​​the selling point have been decided, and the next thing to do is to discuss and perfect it with everyone, find a designer, specify a plan, and after a series of processes, it will finally be handed over to Xue Jian.

As for the supporting residential projects, Wanliu District has convenient transportation. It was originally a golden residential area, and the surrounding real estate is basically in a rush mode as soon as it is sold. As long as the characteristics and main tone of the project are set, the subsequent series of designs will be much easier.

"President Xu! Everyone is waiting for you!"

Someone knocked on the door outside, Xu Yang answered "Come here" dumbfounded, leaned forward, covered his lips towards Wu Yuan, and bit his lip with the insatiable desire, the two could only stay together At this time, kiss and hug, helpless and at the same time, there is an indescribable stimulation, private space, racing against time, just thinking about it will explode the pores of the body.

After the two went out, they mentioned their ideas, and everyone became excited.

Young people from various departments gathered together, thinking wildly and unconstrainedly, without a lot of limitations in the past, and talking about what comes to mind.

In the middle of the discussion, several girls from the planning department suddenly blushed and started a commotion. Those like Wang Yiqun, who like to gossip the most, couldn't help asking: "What's the matter? Tell us and share it with us." !"

The girls coughed, with a mysterious blush still on their faces, and said: "We were thinking, aren't various themed coffee shops very popular now, like hellokitty, there are a few queues to open one in Hong Kong City Many people who don’t live in the urban area don’t hesitate to go there to take pictures…”

"Hmm, what then??"

The girl smiled and said: "Since we want to support domestic production, it is only fair that Guoman should be included in it, just like the most popular "xxxx" now, there are tens of thousands of CP fans..."

"What CP fan?" The straight men in the room looked confused.

The girls blushed and said, "You don't understand what I've said. In short, that Chinese manga is as popular among girls as boys. If we can cooperate with them, we can open an official themed restaurant or coffee shop in the Grand Triangle and sell them." Official exclusive licensed peripheral products cannot be bought in other places, how many tourists do you think will be attracted? Maybe foreign fans will also come to see it!"

Everyone was stunned. The popularity of "xxxx" is undoubted. Although a few girls just had a flash of inspiration, they undoubtedly opened up their minds. Everyone had different opinions, and the more discussions became more heated, Xu Yang finally laughed and said: "Okay, then Why not divide into groups, the planning department is responsible for discussing the cooperation of "xxxx", and the same goes for other people, whether it's a restaurant, a mobile game, or a specialty store, each of them will talk to the person in charge of the other party, and the more talks will be made , the more likely Xue Dong will agree."

Everyone let out an "Aww" and began to prepare enthusiastically. Wang Yiqun stood on the chair and shouted: "Wait!"

Everyone was anxious: "What's the matter?"

Wang Yiqun said with a smile: "However, let's start from the beginning. We should take a photo together and keep a memory!"

This is the case with running a certain business by yourself. Even a little bit of footprints and progress are eager to be recorded. Everyone started chattering and posing for a while. Xu Yang and Wu Yuan looked at each other and smiled, and went to the room to get the camera.

When he came out, Wang Yiqun was standing there with his hips akimbo: "In the future, everyone here will be the veterans of Evergreen Real Estate. At that time, let the future juniors see how their seniors took the company with bitter tears. Pull the big one!"

"It's not you who dragged it," Tian Yao laughed, "It's obviously Wu Yuan and General Manager Xu, okay?"

Wang Yiqun smiled and said, "Just by saying that, it won't let me experience the feeling of being a senior?"

Speaking of which, Xu Yang has fixed the tripod and adjusted the timing mode.The red dot on the camera started to flash, and everyone immediately flapped their wings and moved towards the middle like cocks fighting for Xiaomi. Wu Yuan and Xu Yang were squeezed in the front, and the group of people behind bared their teeth and squeezed into the room laughing. It's like taking a stimulant.

"Ready to shoot!"

"Zhao Zhanfei, stop squeezing!"

"Where am I squeezed!"

"You're still crowded, ouch—"

Everyone's postures were all kinds of weird, and several of them started laughing when they couldn't stand firmly, and someone pushed behind them, and the row of people in the middle fell like dominoes, and several of them jumped directly at Xu Yang and Wu Yuan. On the back, just at this moment, the flashlight flashed with a "wow", landed with a click, and the light was finished in such a muddle-headed manner.

……

Everyone flocked up to look at the photo, bursting into bursts of wild laughter. They didn't know that they could put on such a ferocious expression since they were young.But the more ferocious it is, the more commemorative it is. After that, everyone took a few more pictures in a row. Either the smile was too stiff or too much, but it was not as fresh and refined as the first one.

During the dog days, it didn't take long for the room to become extremely hot. Wu Yuan went to close the windows and was about to turn on the air conditioner.

The apartment is on the fifth floor. After closing it, he naturally glanced downstairs——

He froze.

Seeing that his back was not moving, Xu Yang went over and said, "Primary boy, what's wrong?"

Then both of them were startled.

Downstairs, Ren Zhongwen held a black luggage bag and raised his head.

He squinted his eyes, his eyes fell on their floor impartially, and he turned and left after standing for less than a minute.

"Ren Chongwen!"

Wu Yuan and Xu Yang went downstairs, Xu Yang called him to stop with a sullen face.

Ren Zhongwen's footsteps were stuck there, and the two walked up immediately, under the bright sunlight, Ren Zhongwen looked over with a little dodge, Xu Yang sneered: "What do you mean?"

"What?" Ren Zhongwen asked.

Xu Yang: "I said, you come and go, what do you mean?"

Ren Zhongwen: "...Nothing, just take a look."

Xu Yang: "Are you satisfied with watching?"

"..."

Ren Zhongwen clenched the luggage bag in his hand tightly. There are always some miraculous phenomena in this world, such as the spring of a dead tree, and the blooming of a willow. He doesn't know if the two people standing in front of him are considered miracles, but at least they are upright and have never betrayed their conscience for a moment. .

Maybe God favored such a person.

He hasn't had a good night's sleep in the past few days.There are some things that no one will know if he doesn't talk about them, but he can't get past his hurdle anyway. He feels that he is hypocritical and has done all kinds of bad things, but his conscience is still there.

"You should have punched me."

He suddenly said to Xu Yang.

Xu Yang: "How can I hit you standing so far away?"

Ren Zhongwen laughed and shook his head: "Forget it, I went with injuries all over my body, and my image is not very good."

past?

Wu Yuan was taken aback for a moment, only to realize that he was dressed differently today, not a suit and leather shoes, but ordinary casual clothes, and his hair was not done.As soon as he looked over, Ren Zhongwen felt it, and smiled at him with regret: "Then I'll go first."

Wu Yuan: "Where are you going?"

Ren Zhongwen didn't answer, and handed him a business card.

Wu Yuan caught it, "This..."

"It has the name and phone number of the new editor-in-chief of Universal Magazine," Ren Zhongwen said, "I've already made arrangements, and you can make appointments for interviews at any time, but Dong Xue has such a large network, you may not care about these things."

Wu Yuan and Xu Yang understood something when they heard the words "new editor-in-chief".

Wu Yuan: "...Thank you."

Ren Chongwen: "Mr. Wu, you don't need to thank someone like me."

Wu Yuan didn't know how to respond to this sentence, Ren Zhongwen smiled and said: "I would like to thank you, if it wasn't for your words back then, the relationship between my parents would not be as good as it is now."

Wu Yuan thought of the old Mr. Ren who didn't cherish his wife, and Ren Zhongwen's black luggage rustled with emotion. He nodded to the two of them, and the pale blue blood vessels on the thin single eyelids were faintly visible.

This is the last conversation between Wu Yuan and him.

The next time I hear about Ren Zhongwen, it will be three days later.

At that time, he had surrendered to the police all his past illegal acts, one by one, and the evidence was the "recording backup" he left at that time and the falsified document records.

On the day he bid farewell to Wu Yuan and Xu Yang, he didn't apologize until the end. Standing on his own ground, he didn't think he did anything wrong. All his actions were for the magazine.But he pleaded guilty, and after he finished speaking, he felt relaxed, as if he had written a hearty manuscript.

The only manuscript he did not write himself.

But in the end he fulfilled his responsibility as the "penholder of conscience".

In those few days, the new employees of the Evergreen Group gathered together in Wu Yuan's apartment every day, and they could hear laughter and laughter inside through the door. Everyone exchanged new ideas and reported the progress of cooperation to each other. The cohesion of more than a dozen people has become a hemp rope, and there is only one thing to think about every day: how to win the "No. [-] Mansion" in Luhai.

But from the bottom of my heart, I felt a strange feeling.

A few months ago, they were still making suggestions for the "No. [-] Mansion" and couldn't sleep for several nights, but now their positions changed suddenly, and they tried every means to oppose the project they had put their hard work into.

That feeling is like watching a sapling that I once planted with my own hands, being strangled to death by myself at this moment.

But no one said anything, and everyone was sensitively aware that if they did, the joyful and lively atmosphere like now would definitely be gone forever.

In the past few days, Wu Yuan has always felt that there is a tight wire in his heart.

This feeling really broke out on the day when the news of Ren Zhongwen's surrender came to light.

The girl from the planning department rushed in excitedly with a stack of documents——

"I promised, I promised! The other party said that we should set up a booth in the shopping plaza in Wanliu District and do a trial operation for a month. If the business is good, we will cooperate with us, and they are willing to inject funds!"

Everyone cheered, took out champagne from the refrigerator and prepared to open the bottle to celebrate, and several people knocked on the door one after another, all of which brought good news.Wu Yuan and Xu Yang also just came back, when they heard laughter in the apartment in the corridor, they looked at each other with crooked eyes, and quickened their pace.

But just as the doorknob was about to be turned open, the laughter in the room suddenly stopped.

Wu Yuan didn't know what was wrong, so his heart skipped a beat. When he pushed open the door, he saw the people who were still laughing in the room a second ago, but now they were all standing there blankly watching TV.

Wu Yuan walked over, the steel wire that had been strangling his heart suddenly tightened, and he couldn't breathe.On the screen, the shaky camera was aimed at the gate of Green Sea. Like history repeating itself, a team of police officers in black escorted Lu Shenqiu down the stairs for commercial fraud, and pushed the police car without delay.

At the back, the glass door that once accommodated thousands of Lvhai employees was spinning, as if it had let out its last gasp.Under the screen, the words "Closed for investigation", "To be acquired soon", and "Banking Regulatory Commission is under liquidation" are like heavy boulders pressing on the hearts of everyone, with heavy "boom" and "boom" ringing.

I don't know who moved first.

The door slammed, like a silent pantomime. The young people who came here with their dreams at the beginning rushed downstairs like crazy at this moment, turned left, rushed uphill, and ran madly all the way to In front of them, many old people stopped in the middle, staring blankly at these children running desperately, not knowing what happened to them, and no one dared to ask, the children were running too fast, they couldn't stop them.

Hai Huating is located in the city center, and it is only 10 minutes away from the Lvhai Building.

When Wu Yuan stopped in front of the gate, his head was still dizzy.

The news was recorded and broadcast live in the morning, and it was already afternoon when they saw it. Green Sea, facing the threat of liquidation and takeover, had already suspended its business.Wu Yuan gasped and stood on the square, the moment he saw the temporarily sealed sticker on the revolving door, his mind went blank.

At this moment, he heard the sound of rushing water behind him.

That is the fountain pool most familiar to the collective Green Sea employees. They would sit there to eat every morning and every noon. When the weather is good, they would invite guests there to introduce them to them under the bright sun. The Lvhai corporate culture they love.

As if someone left a little joke, the next second, the sound of water in the fountain suddenly stopped.

As soon as the sound of the water stopped, the sobbing sound became clear.

The girls in the planning department squatted on the ground at some point; Zhao Zhanfei covered his face with his hands; Liang Xinxin turned his back and looked down at the ground; The green logo, which is always on even after work, is now as dim as a dead green ocean.

As if unable to bear it, her shoulders shook violently, she sat on the ground and cried out, the falling tears fell on the seabed that was about to dry up.Even if this green sea once broke their little dream world, even if they almost drowned in it, but the good memories of their past are real; in this place, so many shining dreams have been born ah.
