Confrontation in the abyss

"No." Zhou Zhao thought that even Ma Lin could see that something was wrong with him, and it seemed that he had really failed, "It's just that I have always felt a lot of pressure in the Yang family, and I am not used to it when I suddenly relax. .”

"No matter what happened to Mrs. Yang, at least Mr. Yang, you changed my destiny." Marin said seriously.

"Then you have to cherish your own destiny." Zhou Cho patted Marin on the shoulder.

A butterfly lightly landed on Zhou Chou's fingertips, and his heart was filled with surprise. He raised his fingers, and the butterfly's wings lightly touched his lips. The goose yellow wings seemed to bloom under the shallow sunlight.

"It's so beautiful." Marin admired.

"Yeah, these butterflies are really beautiful." With a flick of Zhou Tiao's fingertips, the butterfly swayed and flew into the flowers.

"No, I mean...Mr. Yang, you are really beautiful." Marin sighed sincerely.

"Hahaha..." Zhou Zhao covered his stomach and laughed, "'Beauty' should be used to describe women, right?"

"All beautiful things can be described by this word." The corners of Marin's lips were sunken, and there was a bit of piety in his tone, "It has nothing to do with men and women."

After a tiring day, the two returned to the hotel from the zoo.Marin, who was excited all the way from the plane, fell on the bed and fell asleep as if he was suddenly drained of energy.

Zhou Cho was not tired, the setting sun swept across the undulating sea, and Zhou Cho walked on the beach.As he walked, he squatted down slowly, curled up there like an egg.The tide carried away the footprints left on the beach, Zhou Cho's shoulders trembled slightly.It wasn't until the sea breeze became wet and cold that he slowly stood up.

Anson, who was sitting on the sofa listening to Baja, looked up at the bright ceiling above his head, heard Richard's footsteps, and said slowly, "This chandelier is beautiful."

"The texture of Italian natural white crystal is wiped by a special person every three days, of course it is always bright."

"You once said that apart from Cuban cigars, nothing can fascinate me for more than three months. But I have liked this chandelier for a long time." Anson took a breath, "I still remember the moment when the bomb exploded that day, Zhou Cho threw me down. The crystal chandelier fell, and I felt dizzy. The crisp sound in my ears was clearer than the explosion. A second is like a lifetime."

Richard stood beside Anson, lowered his head and sent a stack of photos to Anson, "This is a photo from Sri Lanka."

Anson flipped through the pages casually, and snorted softly: "Richard, I thought he was really going to Yang's subsidiary when he went to Sri Lanka. I didn't expect him to have fun with other men."

"You sound awful. Or I'll book you a plane ticket to Sri Lanka."

At this moment, the photo turned to the scene where Zhou Cho kissed the butterfly, and An Sen's breath was stretched at that moment.There was a slight smile on An Sen's lips, and his eyes traced the corners of Zhou Cho's eyes and brows, everything softened.

When the photo turned to the last one, he froze.

On a dark beach, Zhou Cho curled up like a silkworm chrysalis on the silvery white sand, with the ebb and flow of the tides, and there was no end to it.

"What's wrong with you?" Anson's tone was so cautious, as if he was asking Zhou Chou in the photo, and more like asking himself.

"The people who followed them said that Dean stayed on the beach for more than an hour."

"His sadness is only known to him."

"If you want to know, go ahead."

"No need..." Anson put down all the photos, "Even if I stood by his side, he wouldn't say a word to me."

When the lights dimmed and Richard left the room, Anson picked up the stack of photos again, his fingers slowly slid across Zhou Zhou's back on the beach, and leaned over to seal his lips.

"Fool... you can tell me. Whatever... I can do for you."

On the second day after arriving in Sri Lanka, Zhou Choi took Marin to the subsidiary company.The most famous here is the opal, which is the first time Marin has seen such a color and particle size.Unlike Zhou Chou, who just looks at it in general, Marin appreciates every gemstone very carefully.Subsidiary gemstone samples are of high quality.The sapphire is pure in color, bright and eye-catching.The starlight stone's light is clear, not floating on the surface of the gemstone but from the inside of the gemstone.

These gemstones will never exceed the beauty and purity of diamonds in high society, they are just embellishments in Young's jewelry designs.Even so, what is inlaid on Yang's jewelry must be the best of the best.

"What are you thinking?" Zhou Thou rubbed Marin's hair.

"I thought about what it would look like if I used them to design jewelry." Marin smiled brightly.

"Oh, what do you think is the most beautiful jewelry? The yellow diamond 'Tears of the Sun', or the blue diamond 'Hope'?"

"The most perfect jewelry in my dream is like yours, Mr. Yang."

"I'm like this?" Zhou Cho couldn't help laughing, he deeply felt Marin's admiration for him.

In the evening, Zhou Cho and Marin sat by the window sill of the hotel and drank the locally brewed wine with the night breeze blowing.

Zhou Cho's cell phone vibrated, it was a call from New York.Zhou Cho picked it up and heard the sound of a guitar coming from inside.Every note is melodious, and Zhou Cho's mood is also high.No one spoke on the other end of the phone. Marin thought that Zhou Cho was answering an important call in the company, and it might not be convenient for him to listen to it, so he got up and left.

Zhou Tzu closed his eyes, the sound of music filled his ears, air, and breath.Everything was left behind, it didn't matter who he was, and it didn't matter who passed by in his life.

At dawn that day, the sound of the guitar in my ear stopped.The world is quiet, only the sound of slow breathing on the other end of the phone.

For the first time, Zhou Cho felt that he was so close to a certain person, so close that he seemed to be very close, and the other person's breath seemed to seep into the depths of his thinking.

"Whoever you are... thank you."

The corners of the man's lips curled up slowly, and he hung up the phone.

The trip to Sri Lanka was over, and Zhou Cho and Marin took the plane back to New York. Marin kept looking out the window on the plane, and Zhou Cho knew that he was still nostalgic for Sri Lanka.

"This time, have you learned a lot about the personality of gemstones?" Zhou Cho rubbed Marin's head.

"Yes, it turns out that diamonds are not the only things that are beautiful in this world!"

"That's right. It's just that diamonds are extremely sought after because they are rare and valuable. But I always believe that beauty has nothing to do with rarity. Beauty is beauty." Zhou Tuo propped his head and looked at Marin's profile.

Marin turned his head and looked at Zhou Chiu.

"Remember to create the most beautiful jewelry for the Yang family." Zhou Choo smiled lightly.

When Zhou Chou returned to New York, it was Leslie who picked him up.

Dressed in a casual suit and rimless glasses, he exudes an elitist air.

"Leslie? How did you come?"

Leslie looked so eye-catching in this crowded airport hall.

"There is a new information system, and I plan to update Yang's internally. The time is a little tight, and I want to show it to you as soon as possible. If you have no problem here, put it on the board of directors for discussion." Leslie glanced at Zhou. Marin behind him.Knowing that these are commercial secrets, Marin smiled and said that he was tired, so he took a taxi and went back to rest.

Zhou Choo and Leslie got into the car.

"Look at it." Leslie handed the phone to Zhou Chou, "After that, your new identity will be arranged."

After Zhou Chou looked at it, he closed his eyes and let out a breath, then laughed: "Finally, I can be relieved."

"Do you want to send you back to Yang's?"

"No need." Zhou Zhao seemed to have thought of something, and took out a sapphire from his pocket, "For you. It's not a diamond."

Leslie's hand remained frozen there.

"Give it back to me if you don't want it." Zhou Thou pretended to take it back, "I'm waiting for it to stop being Dean? Yang can sell it to buy insurance!"

Leslie's fingers tightened around the sapphire.

"Where do you want me to drive you?"

"Hmm... just open it, I want to buy a CD."

"What kind of CD."

"Hmm... guitar." Zhou Tiao seemed to think of something beautiful, his eyes softened.It was the first time in a long time that he felt a desire.

He longed for the notes that the man's fingers picked on the phone, the peace and comfort he brought him.

Leslie parked the car on the side of the road, and the two walked into a small shop.Zhou Chou lingered in front of the guitar CD shelf, but didn't know which one to choose.

"Know the title of the album?" Leslie asked.

"...I don't know..." Zhou Cho became embarrassed, he didn't even know the title of the album, even if he bought all the CDs here, he might not have the one he wanted.

Zhou Cho pulled Leslie over, hummed a part, and asked, "Have you heard it?"

"I don't listen to guitar very much. I usually prefer violin or piano." Leslie replied lightly.

At this time, the waiter from the video store came over. She was dressed in punk, and took out a CD and handed it to Zhou Chou: "This is the one you hum. Fifteen dollars."

Zhou Zhao felt as if he had found a treasure, and he paid the money and walked back to the car with Zhou Cho, but he didn't expect that there was already a ticket on the window.

"Haha..." Zhou Zhao smiled embarrassedly, but Leslie didn't care.

The two got into the car, took out the CD and it sounded.Zhou Tzu closed his eyes and listened, flicking his fingers on his knees.

"Is this one?"

"That's the song." Zhou Cho took a breath. The sound effect of the CD was good, but it was still not as moving as the melody that night.

Liszt is ready to withdraw the weekly chip.Just before the withdrawal plan is implemented, Zhou Cho will finish him as Dean?Young's last dinner party.

It was the birthday dinner of Malvin, the chairman of KA Shipping.Zhou Choo naturally remembered that his son was the guy nicknamed "Porsche" who played cards with Red Scorpion in the same VIP room that night.

Leila is still Zhou Choo's female companion.

"This should be the last dinner we will cooperate with." Leila said with emotion.

"Why, are you nostalgic for these high-society things?" Zhou Chou tightened his tie, and Leila came over to help him straighten his collar.

"It's the last time, Zhou Cho. We're going to make a grand debut and end safely." Leila didn't call him Dean, but called him by his real name.

"Thank you, your Chinese pronunciation is very standard."

The dinner of KA Shipping was held at the Dring Pass Hotel.Needless to say, the luxury and luxury of this hotel is even worse than the W Hotel under MASSIVE.

It's just that when they came to the dinner party, they found that there were not as many invited guests as Zhou Chou imagined.

"I heard that Malvin is a person who likes flamboyance and ostentation. Doesn't today's birthday party seem to be lively enough?" Leila and Zhou Choo showed their invitations and went through the security check before entering the venue.

Zhou Cho looked around and narrowed his eyes.

Many of the guests present were on his attention list for this mission.For example, the three Russians who were holding on to champagne and whispering something together should have had arms business dealings with Eva.And that guy over there with the beard and the crimson tie was a drug lord from Colombia, though he had a serious business too.Zhou Cho felt an uncomfortable feeling in his heart, because among all the people present, he dared to say that only his background, Mrs. Yang, was considered a clean businessman.

Eva was wearing a long silver dress, elegant and gorgeous, she came to Zhou Chou and held his hand, and the two of them spun in a half-time tango dance.

"Dear Dean, do you think this dinner is strange?" Eva whispered in Zhou Chou's ear.

"I just feel that I've been invited, which is very strange." Zhou Cho chuckled.

According to Malvern's taste in inviting guests, it was impossible not to have Anson Lorenzo present.

"It's like a diamond falling into a pile of ashes." An Sen's voice sounded, and Zhou Cho didn't even know when he came behind him.

"I guess, there is a good show to watch today." An Senfu whispered in Zhou Chou's ear.

There was something intimate about his attitude.

Zhou Cho instantly sensed Carter who was negotiating with someone?Lippmann projected a blade-like gaze.

"I always feel that there is one more person who should be within the scope of the invitation." Eva raised her eyebrows and looked around.

"William? Goodwin, he is the CEO of MASSIVE, it's impossible not to show up for such a dinner." Zhou Zhao understood what Aiwa meant.

"Well——" Anson handed a glass of red wine to Zhou Choo, with a dark and deep smile on his lips, "I have a hunch that Mr. Goodwin won't show up."

At this time, the door of the banquet hall was closed.

Zhou Cho frowned, and Leila's fingers holding his arm also became tense.

In such a large venue, there were less than a hundred guests—and everyone present except Zhou Chou had an inseparable concern for some kind of business.This is simply like an exchange meeting inside that gray world.

But Zhou Cho still couldn't figure out why he was invited.

"Ladies and gentlemen—welcome to Mr. Malvin's birthday party! Unfortunately, it is not Malvin who invited you here."

When this sound sounded, the audience was in an uproar.

Zhou Cho turned around suddenly and looked at the circular escalator.

I still remember that voice when it turned into ashes——Red Scorpion!

Red Scorpion walked down the escalator slowly. He was wearing a white suit today, which was uniquely tailored, but it couldn't hide the hostility on his body. Even when he laughed, there seemed to be the smell of blood in the air.
