Prison Bird [GL Suspense Reasoning]

Two people each hold a stopwatch in their hands, and jointly set a time such as one minute and 20 seconds. Then the two people should close their eyes and press the timer button. During this period, they must not open their eyes, count the time silently in their hearts, and finally press the stop button.In the past, Shi Wei often competed with his subordinates, but Doomiao has too high requirements on people's psychological quality and concentration. As long as there is a moment of distraction, it is difficult to control the error within three seconds. The harder it is to concentrate, the lower the success rate.

Qiao Yixia looked at Lu Xizhan, who was clutching the stopwatch tightly beside her, and her bones were white, and she couldn't help asking softly: "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell? If you feel uncomfortable, go to rest early, okay?"

I saw Lu Xizhan took a deep breath and said, "Let's start." She won't back down, no matter how scared she is, she won't back down, Qiao Yixia can overcome her weakness of fear of heights, and look down on the Ferris wheel with her On the ground, she must be able to.

People who play this game usually use their fingertips to time the clock, simulating the frequency of the second hand's rotation, and tap their fingers on their legs or arms. However, Qiao Yixia doesn't use it. She has a strong sense of time. It's also the reason why she was able to become the vice-captain at such a young age. In Shi Wei's words, this young girl in her twenties is indeed extremely talented.

Lu Xizhan set the time at two minutes and 21 seconds. This is a very long and difficult time to grasp. The bright white light above the head poured on the two of them. They closed their eyes at the same time, and their thick eyelashes were smudged. Oceanic silhouette.

The moment Qiao Yixia pressed the stop button, she didn't look at the time first, but was attracted by Lu Xizhan beside her. Fine beads of sweat oozed from her forehead, her hands trembling as she hugged her head, as if she had been struck by something. Generally frightened.Qiao Yixia couldn't help but gently hugged her, comforting her like a child: "Okay, it's okay. Let's go to rest."

But Lu Xizhan, who was held in Qiao Yixia's arms, trembled more and more. Sweat continued to ooze from her forehead, and her lips became pale. What's wrong with her.

"I can't." Lu Xizhan tried to calm down her mood as much as possible, but still couldn't restrain the fear in her heart, "I can't do it..."

"It's okay." Qiao Yixia brushed her hair that was stuck with sweat, and comforted her patiently, "It won't work this time, we have another time."

Lucy slowly pushed her away, with unknown frustration and despair in her eyes, she shook her head and said: "Time will not wait for me, it is too cruel, no matter how much I beg, it will not give alms Give me another chance."

——, are you afraid?

- ohdear, you are so lovely, so brilliant, I firmly believe that this will be a piece of cake for you.

——Look, silver is waiting for you, he is waiting for you.

"Two minutes, 21 seconds." Lu Xizhan's eyes were like a pool of stagnant water at the moment, without any ups and downs or waves. She was like a body out of her body, losing her soul. She sneered, "I still lose to Those two minutes and 21 seconds."

And lying quietly beside Qiao Yixia, there was a stopwatch showing 20 minutes [-] seconds [-], no one cared anymore.She is like this, when she is doing one thing, she can always concentrate [-]% of her attention, so during this process, she cannot hear Lucy Zhan's rapid breathing due to nervousness, and cannot feel her tremor.But looking at Lucy at this moment, she wanted to share all the pain and suffering for her.

"Actually, I'm a loser." Lu Xizhan looked into the distance blankly.

"How could it be?" Qiao Yixia held Lu Xizhan's hand, hoping to give her strength, "You are the most outstanding woman I have ever seen."

"Trying to use success to cover up one's failure, using fame to cover up the fact that one has made a big mistake, isn't such a person even more shameless." Over the years, she has been working hard to make herself excellent and outstanding, in order to Covering up her inner cowardice and embarrassment, making herself look less pathetic, but the more she gains, the stronger her sense of loss and loneliness, and even self-loathing, she is a loser, a complete loser .

Lu Xizhan lowered her head and frowned her beautiful brows, which made people feel pity. She whispered: "I want to make you happy, but I can't do it. I can't do everything I want to do." .”

Qiao Yixia thought, she would never forget, when she first saw Lu Xizhan, she thought, how can there be such a narcissistic, lonely and arrogant woman in this world, in her eyes, maybe she is the king of this world No one can catch her eyes, but the more she gets in touch with her, the more Qiao Yixia discovers that her arrogance actually stems from her low self-esteem, and her arrogance is only used to cover up her loneliness and fragility Another way.

This kind of her is so distressing and so lovable.

"Xia." Lu Xizhan suddenly turned her head and looked at her with almost despairing eyes, "I am a scourge, stay away from me."

Lu Xizhan turned her head back and raised the corners of her lips. In Qiao Yixia's memory, it was the first time she saw Lu Xizhan's smile, but that smile was so lonely and humble, "Although I, never I thought about who I was going to hurt."

The video intercom made a sound, and someone came outside, Qiao Yixia first shook her hand tightly, then let go: "I'll go and open the door."

"Professor Lu, it's a lady surnamed Meng." Whether to open the door or not, we still need to ask for Lu Xizhan's opinion.

Lu Xizhan's eyes lit up, he stood up and said, "Go upstairs first, get some rest earlier."

Qiao Yixia also nodded obediently and sensiblely. After all, she is an outsider, and the person who came here must be an important person.Lu Xizhan tidied up her skirts, she looked much more refreshed, she didn't press the button to open the door, but went directly to the door, and opened the iron gate by herself.

"aunt."

The woman in front of me is graceful and luxurious, her natural nobleness and elegance are amazing, her brown hair is coiled high above her head, and Chanel's exquisite headwear is hidden in it, low-key yet luxurious, she wears a long white fringed dress Artificial fur, black diamond-encrusted miumiu boots and leather pants show style.Looking at the equally tall and beautiful woman beside her, that woman is Helan Qiubai.

"Long time no see, my precious niece." The woman moved forward and hugged Lucy, "Go in first."

It is an eternal truth that my aunt loves her niece, so Lu Xizhan is somewhat close to her in her heart, but this aunt rarely meets her. After all, the two of them haven't seen each other for four or five years.

Lu Xizhan made tea and handed it to Meng Kejun and Helan Qiubai. In fact, the reason why she sent Qiao Yixia upstairs was not because she treated her as an outsider, but because she was afraid that Meng Kejun would use her as a servant. It's easy to excuse, Lu Xizhan herself is not willing to order her around, how could someone else order her, besides, after all, Qiao Yixia is not familiar with these two people, so forcing her to stay here will only cause her embarrassment.

"Auntie, how have you been doing abroad these past few years?" Meng Kejun divorced her ex-husband six years ago, and later married a rich man in Canada.

"It's not bad. He treats me very well. If I don't miss my precious niece, I don't want to come back." Although Meng Kejun is nearly sixty years old, his appearance, temperament, everything is good, and he is well maintained. , it looks like he is only in his early forties at most.

"Aunt Lao has forgotten, I am doing well."

"Xizhan." It was Helan Qiubai who spoke, "Auntie, she really misses you. She just called me when she got off the plane and didn't even return home, and told me to bring her to see you."

"Thank you, aunt. Logically speaking, I should be the one to visit my aunt."

"Hi." Meng Kejun waved his hand and put his arms around Lu Xizhan's shoulders, "What are you doing so politely? I know, you don't want to see your father, so why is your aunt so hard on you? Besides, I don't want to see you either. The woman surnamed Du. The main purpose of my coming back this time is to come and see you. You said you are not young, so why not find someone else? Mike has a lot of friends, and I helped you find a lot Handsome and capable noble son..."

"Aunt." Lu Xizhan interrupted her, "I really appreciate you caring about me so much, but at this stage, I still focus on my career."

"Career and love don't conflict, Xizhan, you have read so many books, and now you are a professor, not to mention that you are well-known in the United States. I often hear some students talking about you in Canada. Do you still want to Climbing up? It's enough. Women are too strong, and no man dares to approach them."

Seeing this, Helan Qiubai took the initiative to save the siege and said: "Auntie, since Xizhan has no intention of getting married yet, let's not force her and give her some time."

"That's right." Meng Kejun suddenly realized, "Almost forgot the business."

Meng Kejun seemed to have a lot to say, but he didn't know where to start, so Lu Xizhan said, "Auntie, just speak up if you have something to say, and you don't have to talk to me."

Meng Kejun pursed his lips, and finally said: "Well, Xizhan. Something happened to the company, do you know?"

She had known for a long time that Meng Kejun came to her for this matter, and it was just a cover to miss her. Although the relationship between the aunt and nephew was good, they didn't go back to the country just to see her.

"heard."

Meng's Economic Group has recently fallen into a serious financial crisis. It was about to reach a contract with Marisa, a foreign company that is quite famous in the electronic field. CEO Marisa agreed to hand over the distribution rights in the Asia-Pacific region to Meng's However, the investment management department of the main company lost more than one billion yuan due to a wrong business plan, and this plan was supported by more than half of the shareholders at the general meeting, so this big hole can only be made by everyone Filling up, Meng's people are in a state of panic and everyone is in danger. Many shareholders began to sell their own stocks. Competitors took advantage of the chaos and conspired with reporters to expose the news of Meng's internal turmoil. Meng's stock price continued to fall, facing the risk of liquidation crisis!Now let's not talk about cooperating with Marisa Company, I am afraid that if the mud bodhisattva crosses the river, I will not be able to protect myself!

As for Lu Xizhan, how could she not know all of this? Meng Qingdong didn't mention it, but it didn't mean she was completely kept in the dark.

"Xizhan, I know that your father hurt you very deeply, and you can't forgive him." Meng Kejun held Lu Xizhan's hand and said earnestly, "Siblings, that is your mother, she is gentle and graceful, beautiful and intelligent, and she treats you well." My younger brother is even more obedient and obedient, it's my younger brother who doesn't know how to cherish. As for Du Ling, that woman, I will never admit that she is my younger brother and sister in my life."

"Auntie, no one wants to see the current situation more than I do. Lu's is my great-grandfather's lifelong painstaking effort. My mother is soft-hearted and has no opinions. Now it's too late. I don't have any shares of Lu's at hand. , Even if you want to, you are powerless."

Back then, after her father died, in order to show her support for her husband, Lu Huiyun transferred 40.00% of her shares and the Lu family mansion to Meng Qingdong, and the remaining 12.00% to Lu Shuye and Lu Xizhan. Ye and Lu Xizhan are still young, so they don't have the right to use it at all. The real owner is Meng Qingdong.Lu Huiyun passed away when she was a child.Later, the Lu family had a huge economic crisis. Meng Qingdong once wanted to sell the house to pay back the money under the bank's reminder. He consulted Lu Shuye, who had just grown up, and persuaded him to sell himself and Lu Xizhang at a low price. shares, saved the economic crisis.Afterwards, Lu's grew bigger and bigger, and its profits doubled several times. The members of the board of directors praised Meng Qingdong, and some even flattered him, saying that Meng Qingdong was better than all the previous leaders, and he was a real business genius.

But after that, Meng Qingdong never mentioned the matter of returning the shares to the siblings.

As a result, the Lu family disappeared, replaced by the current Meng family.

"I have 5.00% of the scattered shares on hand. Although it is not much, at least you can become a shareholder of Meng's and are eligible to participate in the board of directors. Xizhan, I will transfer all of them to you unconditionally."

In fact, the 5.00% shares were bought by Meng Kejun when Lu's stock price plummeted, and transferred to Lu Xizhan, which can be regarded as returning to the original owner.

Without waiting for Lucy to react, she continued: "I don't agree with my brother's behavior at all. The company's surname is Meng, and the name is not correct at all. Those directors are all my brother's people, blindly flattering and flattering , No one dares to say no. I am ashamed of my sister-in-law for not educating my younger brother well. Xizhan, Shuye is gone, and you are the only one left. My aunt absolutely supports you in changing the company to Lu's surname again."

"Auntie, what are you talking about? Isn't brother all right?" Lu Xizhan frowned slightly, looking at Meng Kejun in disbelief.
