ABO diurnal boundary

At 09:30 in the morning, Xie Jingchi drove past the Mijiang Bridge.

The wind by the river is always strong, through the thin layer of fog on the river, Xie Jingchi can clearly see the mint blue glass exterior of Tianning Building shining under the sun.

Tianning Building is one of the landmark buildings in Yungang City: From the appearance, it has a gentle curvature like water waves, and the huge LED screen in an inverted triangle changes color with the weather.

Xie Jingchi parked the car, walked through the glass revolving door, and entered the interior of the building.

The front desk confirmed to the secretariat that there was no problem with his appointment through an intercom call, and then took him to the direct elevator marked as Zhaoxin's exclusive use at the left rear.

The person Xie Jingchi is going to meet today has a very auspicious name for his industry, Qian Shou.

Qian Shou is not only the executive director of Zhaoxin Securities Company, but also the legal executor—Zhaoxin and Jiang have more than one cooperation project, and Xie Jingchi has been very close to Jiang Lian in recent years.

Zhaoxin Securities is located on the 45th floor of Tianning Building. When the elevator door opened, Xie Jingchi first saw two pots of lush green fortune trees, and then outside the bright landscape window was the sparkling river view and the vast southern urban area.

One of Qian Shou's secretaries was in charge of receiving Xie Jingchi.Passing through the working area where the employees worked and a narrow corridor, the young male secretary took him to Qian Shou's private office and asked him to wait here for a while.

Ten minutes later, Qian Shou, who was said to be in a meeting, returned to the office.

Qian Shou is tall, with slender limbs, hunchback and sloping shoulders, which are common problems of many thin and tall people. His face is not very big, and his eyes are also small, so his nose is disproportionately large. It looks a bit like a comedy The funny characters who came out of the film.

"Dong Qian, nice to meet you." Xie Jingchi put down his glass and shook hands with him.

"Xie Jingchi, I have found out everything you entrusted me to investigate."

Xie Jingchi and Qian Shou had exchanged emails many times during their university studies in other cities, but it was the first time they met like this.

During the half-hour meeting, Qian Shou was basically the one talking.Qian Shou's voice is slightly thinner than that of ordinary adult men. His voice is not loud, and his movements are also very elegant, with a soft and soft taste in it.

He compiled the contents of Xie Jingchi's investigation commissioned by Jiang Lian into a very thick document. After Xie Jingchi got it, he browsed it roughly, and many doubts were answered.

As early as the first time they met Xie Jingchi, he realized that Jiang Lian hadn't introduced him to the wrong person. Compared with many pompous and mediocre idiots with great reputations, Qian Shou was indeed a practical person.

"Xie Jingchi, I think it is necessary for me to tell you something." Qian Shou suddenly stopped, as if he didn't know whether to say it or not.

"What?" Xie Jingchi had an intuition that what he was about to say must be something unusual.

Qian Shou hesitated to speak for a while, "Recently, some people have been buying shares of Xie's real estate at high prices."

As the middleman connecting the market and customers, many hidden stock movements cannot escape the eyes of securities companies, but that is all.

Regarding the mysterious client in the upstream, Qian Shou bluntly said that he did not know his identity.

He can be anyone, or he can be no one.

"How tall is it?"

However, Qian Shou said that a high price must be a high price.He said a number, Xie Jingchi opened his eyes slightly.

According to Xie Jingchi's understanding, this figure is more than twice the average price of Xie's stock in the past three years.

"However, most of the investors he found were retail investors, and they didn't add up to many shares. The bulk is still in the hands of the few major shareholders you mentioned, and the structure will not change much."

Xie Jingchi frowned.

"My suggestion is to ignore it for the time being." Qian Shou saw his reaction in his eyes. As an experienced adult who has been in the securities market for more than [-] years, he simply told Xie Jingchi about his own situation. Opinion, "Your father, Chairman Xie should have also noticed that after several dilutions and divisions, it is difficult for Xie to return to the past state of centralized power and one-sidedness, so one of my guesses is that he wants to To consolidate his rule as much as possible by repurchasing shares."

Back then, Xie Mingyao was able to defeat his sister, Ms. Xie Yushu, relying on 20% of the stocks in his hands. 20% of the stock and more than half of the board of directors are on his side, ensuring that he has absolute control over the group.

At the beginning of Xie Xuan's birthday seven years ago, Xie Mingyao gave his favorite eldest son 3% of the company's shares as a gift for coming of age, and then four years ago, after Xie Jingchi fulfilled his marriage contract with Qin Shen, he took away In addition to the 5% of the shares that once belonged to Jiang Xingyun and are now deposited with Xie Mingyao under his escrow, plus the 1% for Fang Rujun and other changes, strictly speaking, Xie Mingyao is still the largest shareholder of Xie's, but he has great influence on the group. Control is not as good as it used to be.

Qian Shou was right, Xie Mingyao should have discovered this too, so he spent a lot of money to buy back the stocks scattered everywhere, but the omen of uneasiness flashed across Xie Jingchi's heart, and it was very short and soon, like a wave spreading on the surface of water. Ripple, only for a moment, slipped away without paying attention.

Compared to four years ago, Xie Jingchi is no longer the child who was powerless and could only protect himself with childish means.The distance between him and Xie Mingyao still seemed so far away, but it was no longer unreachable.

What he wanted was not the light punishment of removing Xie Mingyao from all his positions in the company. He wanted to completely bring down this man without leaving any way out, and make him pay for what he had done.

The agreed time came soon, and Xie Jingchi, who got what he wanted, was about to leave, but Qian Shou asked his secretary to see him off.

When the two of them passed the view window again, Xie Jingchi keenly noticed that across a large block of low buildings like Lego blocks, at the end of the blue sky, dark, ominous rain clouds were slowly accumulating.

There are very few things in this world that stay the same.During the four years when Xie Jingchi was absent, there have been major and minor changes at No. 36 Nan'an Road:

First of all, people, headed by the housekeeper, these old people who have taken care of Qin Shen for more than ten years have successively retired to other cities for various reasons since the year before last. Xie Jingchi at home is not very familiar with them, and sometimes it takes dozens of seconds just to think of the name.Secondly, things. After marriage, Qin Shen commissioned a moving company to move all Xie Jingchi's personal belongings out of Qiwen Mountain. Most of them were kept here, and a small part was sent to the white building surrounded by camellias and roses.

Because Xie Jingchi has moved into the master bedroom and is no longer a borrowed guest, the guest room he lived in was changed into a special piano room at the behest of Qin Shen during a layout adjustment. Qin Shen specially bought an antique piano handmade by a master at a charity auction.

On this day, Qin Shen still came back very late.He didn't linger too much in the living room outside, but directly opened the bedroom door.

Xie Jingchi leaned against the head of the bed, reading a book by the bright and warm light of the lamp.Under the light, his skin has a warm and transparent texture, and his gentle and beautiful eyebrows remind people of all the words related to home and peace.

"It's late."

The two hands of the wall clock were almost coincident, Xie Jingchi grumbled and complained, but he put down his device obediently, went to kneel and sit by the bed, and helped him untie his cufflinks and tie.

"Going out during the day?" Qin Shen put his arm around his waist and let him lean on him.

Xie Jingchi was not very surprised that he would know this - from three meals a day to what he did in general, the servants would report to Qin Shen regularly.

"Go out for a trip."

"Go for what?"

Xie Jingchi's hands froze, "...meet a few high school classmates." He quietly avoided Qin Shen's gaze and said in a low voice.

A few hours later after the cloudy sky at noon, it started to rain at four or five o'clock in the afternoon, and it has not stopped until now.

The sound of pattering rain could be heard outside the window. In this damp and cool atmosphere, Qin Shen had a dry and warm aura, like a burning fireplace in the cold winter, which made his whole body feel hot and limp.

"Here you are." Qin Shen put the suit jacket that he had taken off aside, and at the same time handed another item to Xie Jingchi's hands.

Losing that rigorous, ascetic shell, his hair fell loosely on his forehead, and his neckline was loosely open, like a vagabond in a movie who can kill someone with just one look.

Xie Jingchi took it over and looked at it. It was an exquisitely crafted bronzing invitation.

Qin Shen briefly explained to him, "This year's mid-year appreciation banquet is scheduled for the tenth of next month, and you need to bring your family to attend."

Xie Jingchi is not very unfamiliar with this set of procedures.

As Qin Shen's legal partner, he would accompany Qin Shen to attend these parties every year in the middle and end of the year. He thought that he should belong to the category that could be sold, so that he would not embarrass Qin Shen.

"Have you thought about your future plans?" Qin Shen placed his palm on Xie Jingchi's shoulder, "Isn't it as good as before?"

During the vacation, Xie Jingchi worked as an intern at Qin's more than once. In the evening, while other colleagues were taking the elevator down, he went to the 34th floor alone, to accompany his busy schedule husband to work overtime or to go home together.

From the secretary department to all the high-level executives in the group, everyone knows their relationship, so no one will deliberately avoid Xie Jingchi who is nestling on the sofa at the side when making a report.

"Let's talk about it later." Xie Jingchi replied vaguely.

"Actually, there's nothing wrong with being at home." It was rare for Qin Shen not to dwell too much on this topic, "Just finished taking a shower?"

The temperature of the air conditioner was turned very low, water droplets slid down Xie Jingchi's slender and fair neck and fell into the shadow of the collarbone.

Xie Jingchi made a short nasal sound, wondering why he asked such an obvious answer.

"Remember to wipe it dry next time." Qin Shen wiped away the obstructing drop of water with his fingertips.The touch of the skin is like cold silk, soft and smooth, and there is no extra warmth.

Xie Jingchi nodded indiscriminately, "Understood." He had promised similar words many times, but he still forgot to do so next time.

Qin Shen patted his cheek angrily and amusedly, and went to turn up the temperature of the air conditioner a little.

"Go to bed first, don't wait for me."

Qin Shen took a shower and went to the study to deal with some remaining work. When he returned to the bedroom, he found that Xie Jingchi was still asleep.

On a stormy night, the rain suddenly became heavier, and the room was illuminated by blue-white lightning several times as bright as day, and then there was a loud rumbling noise.

The tall buildings swayed gently under the violent impact of rain and thunder.Qin Shen saw the sky light up again with his own eyes, and Xie Jingchi immediately covered his ears in panic.

"Afraid of this?" Qin Shen couldn't tell what kind of mood he found out about this.

"No." Xie Jingchi shook his head and said angrily, "It's just...too close."

too close.Normally, he was never afraid of such trivial things as thunder, but this time the thunder was so close that it seemed to touch the glass and explode in his ears.

"come over."

Qin Shen counted three seconds in his heart, and after three seconds, Xie Jingchi, who was still refusing to move, was caught.

"Are you still afraid?"

Qin Shen's hand was a little bigger than his, just enough to cover his entire palm.

For the first time in Xie Jingchi's memory, he was patiently coaxed to close his eyes on a night of thunder and rain.Several times he felt that he was really too troublesome and difficult to deal with, but Qin Shen still impatiently isolated those terrible nightmares for him.

He leaned against Qin Shen's chest and this man's heartbeat to calm down his fear, and finally fell asleep slowly.

Xie Jingchi thought he could sleep till dawn, but he woke up again in the middle of the night.

03:30, the darkest hour of the day.Someone's arm was draped around his waist, in order not to alarm him, Xie Jingchi, who had been experienced for so many years, turned his head quietly.

The sky is dark, like a piece of overexposed film, heavy and opaque.

The rain is still falling, and the sound of the rain is endless, as if it wants to connect the sky and the earth together, turning it into a clean ruin with nothing.

After listening for a while, Xie Jingchi realized that his back was covered in cold sweat and his heart was beating fast.

He vaguely remembered that he dreamed about things when he was a child.

But why?

The days before the age of five were obviously the most carefree days in his life, but it was like a nightmare for him, unable to calm down for a long time.

It was a long time later that Xie Jingchi realized that this was not destined to be a peaceful June.

During the wet rainy season, the Meteorological Observatory issued three red rainstorm warnings in a row. As a result, a small town in the upper reaches of the Mijiang River broke out in a mudslide. Countless people stayed up all night to fight for the emergency, and many lives unfortunately passed away.

On such a night of frequent tragedies, Yungang City was also not much better.

In the outskirts of the city tens of kilometers away from Nan'an Road, the buried remains of a certain person were finally brought back to the world because the heavy rain washed away the soil covering the surface.
