drowning tide

Only half of August has passed, and there are more things happening in Rongcheng than the previous months combined.

The first major event was that Wen Zhengting, Chairman of Wen Group, died of illness in a foreign country. According to the autopsy report given by the hospital, the cause of Chairman Wen's death was not cancer but heart failure: On the night of the 10nd, Chairman Wen was on the flight to San Francisco. Sudden myocardial infarction on the way, the plane made an emergency landing to the nearest city, rescued in time Mr. Wen was not out of danger, on the third day of the coma, he briefly regained consciousness for about [-] minutes, then fell into a coma again, and finally died at [-]:[-] pm local time on the [-]th He stopped breathing.

The second major event was the third day after the death of Chairman Wen. The body was still frozen in the local funeral parlor waiting to be cremated back to China. The imperial lawyer He Zhang announced the will that Mr. Wen entrusted him to notarize before his trip.The content of the will includes all aspects. In addition to the regular distribution of working capital and real estate, Wen Zhengting donated 20% of Wen’s shares under his own name to his eldest son Wen Zhicheng, plus his wife Xu Qin’s 6%. Unrestricted, he will join the board of directors from now on to take over the position of chairman. As for the second son, Wen Fan, he only got 26% of the shares, not even a major shareholder.

The third major event has a slightly more entertaining effect than the previous two: Wen Fan was very dissatisfied with the result of the will, claiming that the will was forged and bribed by He Zhang. It proves that Wen Fan is not Wen Zhengting's biological son, only the elder and younger Wen Zhicheng is the legitimate heir.It takes a certain amount of time for handwriting identification to produce results, and the blank time in the middle has become a fertile ground for the media to play freely with the acquiescence and hints of both parties. Various magazines and newspapers are like serials, and new content attracts people's attention every day.

Here, Xu Qin, Wen Fan, after you sing, come to me on the stage, the target is very lively, and there is a big or small thing that happened there, that is, Shengjiang Shipping, which was originally registered under Wen Zhicheng's name, changed hands and sold. The price is much lower than its public announcement on the US stock market, and the whole transaction process can be said to be silent, and almost no one pays attention to it except the insiders of Shengjiang.

The new chairman and CEO is surnamed Nie. If there is still an old man from more than ten years ago, he will probably remember that he has the same surname as Nie Yuansheng, the founder of Shengjiang Shipping. Unfortunately, after the second reorganization, such people will either be transferred Go elsewhere, or quit long ago.

Compared with the big drama of the heir to the Wen family, the employees of Shengjiang Shipping are more concerned about how the new chairman will deal with this old company with mediocre benefits and improvement in recent years.In order to answer their doubts, this Mr. Nie held a high-level meeting on the day the handover was completed. During the meeting, he fired the compensation directly into the account, including Vice President Wu Xinwu, whose whereabouts were unknown. A few people were replaced with people they could trust. As for the middle and low-level employees, they basically remained the same without much change.Such efficient reorganization has given a shot in the arm to anxious people.After re-signing the labor contract to ensure that they would not lose their jobs, the focus of the remaining employees quickly fell on another matter - this Mr. Nie looked exactly like Yin Yuan, the omnipotent assistant next to the former chairman Wen Zhicheng.

It's not that no one has tried this, but they all get the same answer, which is basically the same.

"You got the wrong person."

They didn't really care about whether they really admitted the wrong person. Since the owner of the company is no longer Wen Zhicheng, it means that Shengjiang has escaped from the Wen family's control, and the bloody drama of the rich and powerful will naturally go away from them. The new chairman seems to be much smarter and more capable than Mr. Wen, who is full of belly fat. As long as the company's profits are good enough, the salary is transferred to the card on time, and the benefits are guaranteed to be implemented, most people don't really care who assigns the daily work.

This brand new Shengjiang is still operating according to the track set by Mr. Wen, so it soon encountered its first challenge - a cooperation project with a subsidiary of Roche.

To open up new routes and build new freighters, each preparatory work will bring a huge amount of expenses before the official profit. Years of losses have led to bank loans not being approved, and there is not enough funds. Just place an order with the shipyard and wait The period of delivery is enough to delay Sheng Jiang's bankruptcy.Lack of money was the biggest problem for Sheng Jiang to win this project, but at this time, someone who was willing to pay for it came forward.Roche wants to enter the shipping industry but suffers from the lack of suitable stepping stones. The partner that was about to be finalized completely fell through after the car accident. .

Determining the cooperation is one thing, but the profit sharing and follow-up operation mode are another. The two sides sent representatives to the negotiating table to argue for several days. agree.

On the night of signing the contract, Shengjiang held a banquet in a five-star hotel to entertain the high-level executives in charge of the project, and celebrated the launch of the new project by the way.

·

The person in charge sent by Roche to entertain is Yi Huai.

Although he has not changed the person in charge of the project, his name has been upgraded from Manager Yi to Mr. Yi.

Regarding this point, Yi Huai himself didn’t understand how it happened: the former CEO of the company said that he would be transferred back to the headquarters for several years. During his sick leave, he finally received the transfer order and returned to the headquarters happily to start his great future. up.According to common sense, the vacated position should be chosen among several vice presidents. Who would have thought that Luo Yi would follow another order, and Yi Huai, who had nothing but education, skipped three levels overnight. A small department manager is promoted to branch CEO.

The newly appointed CEO himself was afraid that the subordinates would rebel and resign one after another, so he tried to contact Luo Yi and asked him if something went wrong, but Fei Chuan always answered the phone.

It would be fine if Fei Chuan was willing to speak well, but this is another master who runs the train with his mouth full of words. He didn't have a definite answer to anything, until he couldn't bear to speak harshly, and asked Luo Yi if he planned to cool the hearts of those old people.

"If you give it to you, you can continue. According to Mr. Luo's age, we don't need to wear reading glasses. Take a good look at the house and wait for us to come back. Bye bye."

It's just like child's play.Listening to the busy tone on the phone, Yi Huai almost lost his temper and threw the phone on the ground. Never since he was a child, he felt Fei Chuan's flirtatious tone more hateful than now.

Concealing the blood relationship between them, leading him to hate himself as an enemy, and now handing such a big company into his hands with ease, he has become less and less aware of Luo Yi's true thoughts, and has gradually given up on doing it. Understand.

The water flow at a moderate temperature stopped, and Yi Huai took a soft towel to dry his fingers and face, then loosened the neckline, and slowly waited for the alcohol to subside.

Yue Mo was trying to give him face as a big money maker. Few people dared to pour him wine. Including the toast, he drank about two glasses at most. It was his secretary, no, now he is the assistant to the president. The filling was a bit bad, and he made excuses to come out a few times in the middle, and each time he dragged on for 5 minutes before reluctantly coming back. He suspected that if it wasn't for the embarrassment, his assistant reckoned that he could even come up with an excuse like touch-up makeup.

The assistant can find an excuse to come out, but he, the newly appointed president, has to stay inside to socialize honestly. It was not until the end of the banquet that he finally found a chance to come outside for some air.The business is almost done during the day, and now the rest is to flatter each other and talk about some beautiful scenes. He doesn't want to go back so much. Anyway, if something happens, someone will notify him specially.

He just leaned against the hotel terrace lazily, the hot and humid sea breeze brought by the low tide blowing in front of him.

TV towers, cruise ships, buildings on the other side...there are bright neon lights everywhere. The urban light pollution in this city has always been severe. Let alone sixth-class stars, maybe fourth-class stars may not be able to see clearly. He Thinking of his only trip before graduation, for the aurora, although it was useless to see a large-scale aurora, it was the first time in his life that he saw the Milky Way without light pollution.

That is the real starry sky, a free starry sky, where countless bright stars form a bright and wide river, which makes him almost lose himself when he lives in loneliness and depression...

"So you are here, I have been looking for you."

Hearing someone talking behind him, he turned around and saw a familiar figure unsurprisingly.

"Nie..." He wanted to call him Nie Xicheng, but for the first time the name he was used to in the past stuck in his throat.

This is not the first time they have met during this period, but it is the first time they have spoken in private.

That morning, Wen Zhicheng said a lot of nonsense, the assistant named Yin Yuan beside him died, his daughter was kidnapped, he suspected that this person did it, and so on.So now this person is now Nie Xi, and he found that he doesn't mind those dirty tricks more than he thought, because if it really comes down to it, he will definitely not be much better.

"do you feel better?"

Nie Xicheng walked to his side and looked into the distance with him, his scorching body temperature was so vivid that no one could ignore it.

There was not too strong a smell of smoke and cologne on his body, the kind of aroma he had smelled once, like a pine forest after a heavy snowfall, giving people an endless sense of security.

"It should be fine." He restrained himself from turning his head to look at that person.

What he thought was that if he didn't look at him, he wouldn't be shaken. Unfortunately, he was wrong. He was shaken just by feeling the existence of this person, and he couldn't calm down and think about one thing at all.

"Don't you have anything to ask me?"

Hearing this person say this, he was extremely astonished, "Shouldn't I ask you?" Realizing that he might have lost his composure, he slowed down his tone, "What did you want to tell me that night, why didn't you finish it?"

"Don't you know what I want to say?"

Taking advantage of the moment when he turned his head, Nie Xicheng grabbed his chin and pulled him towards him. He closed his eyes subconsciously, but the expected kiss did not come. Warm breath fell on his lips. He opened his eyes, See handsome faces magnified.

They were so close that a little tiptoeing could reduce the distance between them to zero and turn it into a complete kiss.

"Do you hate it when I do this?" Nie Xicheng's eyes were sober, without any sign of indulgence. It doesn't mean that his eyes were so cold, "I want to hear the truth."

How long had it been since this man's irises were not brown-black like most Asians, but dark gray, and he'd noticed that as his best kept secret?

He shook his head, no one had ever done this kind of thing to him, but he didn't dislike Nie Xicheng's approach, rather he might like it a little bit.

"Have you ever been with anyone?"

"No, I've never thought about this kind of thing..." Nie Xicheng's lips moved and he was distracted, and on the other hand, his thoughts were deeply confused, "Because I'm not interested."

In fact, he was not completely unaware.

It was precisely because he noticed some clues that he was even more puzzled.Including Luo Yi and this person, more than one person said that his character was flawed, that he put himself in a position that was too low, and that he could easily sink because of a little bit of insignificant kindness.

He can do things for Nie Xicheng that most people in the world are unwilling to do, including death. He thinks that death is not so unacceptable, especially in exchange for this person's life.

But is it love?Does he love Nie Xicheng?Can a person like him have normal love?

"Then what do you think of me?"

"You...you're fine."

Nie Xicheng stroked the skin of his chin, "I'm talking about being a date, what do you think of me?"

He was stunned.

Nie Xicheng let him go, and the distance between the two returned to just right again.

The blue and red neon lights were reflected in his eyes, and his expression was tender and affectionate that he had never seen before. Yi Huai wanted to retreat but forgot that there was a railing behind him.

"Do you resent being pursued by the same sex?"

"It's your words..." He shook his head, "No."

Nie Xicheng stared at him, but said very calmly, "I know we've been separated for too long, and we don't know each other's affairs anymore, so I don't expect you to accept me so quickly. I want to pursue you, want to Give us a chance to get to know each other again, because I want to develop a relationship with you, and a marriage relationship if you want, it depends on your wishes. Before you say stop, you can not be so fast Accept me, even if you go back on your word in the future, you can reject me at any time, so are you willing to give me a chance to be affectionate?"

No matter how much he wanted to object, he had to admit that what Nie Xicheng said was right, they had been separated for too long, and all the understanding in the past might be invalidated.

"I……"

Be cautious, you shouldn't be rash, because you can't, Yi Huai warned himself, lowered his head, tried hard to control the frequency of breathing, and don't let himself overbreath.

"You don't need to answer me in a hurry."

Seeing his struggle and embarrassment in his eyes, Nie Xicheng did not show disappointment or other emotions that would aggravate his guilt, "I'll go back first."

This sentence reminded him that, as indispensable figures on the wine table, they had been out for too long, and it was time to go back.

Seeing that this person's back was about to disappear at the end of his sight, he suddenly thought of something that happened a long time ago.

—Did I say goodbye to him at that time?I only thought about saving him, but I didn't dare to think about how he would deal with himself later.Am I going to put him in this situation again?

"I..." He stopped Nie Xicheng, "Wait a minute, I've made up my mind."

It was too fast, but he didn't care, he couldn't care less about that.

Nie Xicheng turned around and looked at him, his eyes were full of tolerance and indescribable tenderness.He didn't urge him, just waited quietly.

He wouldn't hesitate to shoot a truck with two living people on it on the highway, but at this moment he hesitated.

"I would, I'd like to... try the things you're talking about."

This is probably a very selfish thought, the first time he had such a selfish thought, so selfish that he couldn't help but feel a little self-loathing, but he wanted to be loved by someone, especially by this person.
