[Gone With the Wind] Daughter Difficult

The night sky is quiet, the moon is bright and clear, the stars are twinkling, and it is slightly cool.

It has been raining in Atlanta for the past few days, and it was so cloudy and misty that people were almost moldy. Today, the weather finally cleared up. Unexpectedly, Rhett and Xiaobo came back together.

Until after dinner, sitting on the rickety swing with Xiao Bo, Bonnie still felt as if she was in a dream, which was unreal.

A breeze blew by, and the shadows of the trees swayed, bringing the unique fragrance of soil and vegetation.

Under the quiet shadow of the moon, the person next to me is my long-lost sweetheart, which is already a romantic thing.

Bonnie sneezed inappropriately.

Xiao Bo took out the handkerchief and prepared to hand it to her.

Bonnie went to the faucet to wash her hands first, then took Xiao Bo's handkerchief and wiped off the water stains on her hands.

Under the night, the girl's slender body looked fragile. "The weather has started to turn cold recently, so wear an extra layer of clothes."

The night breeze was cool, and he hadn't put on his coat yet, "How about we go back? I don't think Kevin seems to be feeling well today. Maybe you two have caught a cold together."

Xiao Bo was about to stand up as he said that, but was pulled by Bonnie: "No, let's continue to sit." She leaned sideways to Xiao Bo's side, and the swing was turbulent for a while, making a creaking sound. "I don't have a cold, it seems that pollen has blown into my nose, but it is indeed a bit cold."

Xiao Bo wrapped the girl in his arms, and their bodies were pressed together. The girl's body was so soft that he couldn't help but hug her tighter. "Is this better?"

Bonnie leaned her head on Xiaobo's chest and said in a muffled voice, "It couldn't be better."

"You didn't tell me when you came back." Bonnie murmured softly, "You'll tell me anything you said before."

Xiaobo looked at his girlfriend dumbfounded, didn't he just want to surprise you?But he said in his mouth: "It's my fault, I will tell you everything in the future, and I will never break my promise again."

Bonnie raised her eyebrows, "Why do I feel that when you came back with Dad, you learned how he talked to Mom?"

"That's your illusion, I've always been honest with you." Xiao Bo blinked solemnly.

Looking at the boy's handsome side face and plump chin, Bonnie blinked her eyes, raised her head and kissed his chin. As a result, her lips were pricked by very fine beard stubble, but it didn't hurt, and it was still very painful. Funny, so Bonnie rubbed against his chin again.

"Hey..." Xiao Bo raised his chin at first, and in line with Bonnie's endless game, the soft feathery kiss soon made his heart itch. A kiss on the pale pink lips, and another.

Under the moonlight, time seemed to stand still, and the shadows of the two people stretched very long.

In the dead of night, only suspicious and ambiguous noises remained.

The reunion after a farewell is sweet.

"Do you feel that I'm really back now?" Xiao Bo licked his hot lips and whispered in Bonnie's ear.

Bonnie's ears were itchy, and she couldn't help shrinking her shoulders, "How do you know I thought I was dreaming?"

"You're not the only one who knows how to read other people's minds, I can read yours, that's enough." Xiao Bo touched Bonnie's slightly hot cheek.

The two sat on the swing, swaying gently, and Bonnie leaned on Xiaobo's arms with peace of mind: "What are your plans for these few days?"

"I heard you're busy."

"Huh?" There was some doubt in Xiaobo's voice. It seemed that Bonnie had some plans, but... "I heard that you are very busy."

In fact, he just came back, and there are no specific arrangements these days.On the contrary, there will be a public music performance in New Orleans, Louisiana a month later. Because he came back early, he will have more time. These days, he plans to take a good rest. After all, the past two months have been less than two months. He has a lot of public concerts in Vienna and Europe, so there should be a period of rest.

If Bonnie had the time, that would be great.

Bonnie coughed lightly, and said in a very low voice: "Didn't Dad come back? I will hand over work to him in these two days and take a few days off."

Xiao Bo's expression immediately beamed with joy, "The only arrangement I have when I come back is to have a performance in New Orleans, but that will be in a month's time, and I haven't thought about anything else yet."

Um?New Orleans?

Forget it, let's talk about it later.

Bonnie rolled her eyes: "Then let's go out and play, and take a vacation or something."

Xiao Bo immediately agreed: "Okay, where do you want to go?"

"Hmm..." These are all temporary proposals, and it's normal to think about it, "Otherwise, let's go back to Marietta to have a look, and then we'll stay in Tara for a few days." This is also very simple, without thinking too much.And she hasn't visited Tara for many years. Tara has a large area of ​​cotton-growing red land and forests stretching for tens of miles, and there are no such troublesome disturbances. It's refreshing to think about it.

"Do you want to call anyone else?"

Ella?Kevin?Christine?If Wade comes back from the UK, they will definitely have to form a group, but now that Wade is not here, Ella generally prefers to stay at home, and they just need to leave Kevin and Christine behind.Bonnie couldn't help shivering when she thought about those two small light bulbs.

"Are you cold?" Xiao Bo subconsciously hugged Bonnie a little tighter.

"It won't be cold with you here." Actually, it's not too cold, but you have to pretend to be very cold.

Xiao Bo kissed Bonnie on the forehead, "Then Marietta, it will be a few days of vacation for us together."

☆

Although Bonnie has planned to go to Marietta for a few days, she has not reported to Rhett yet.Rhett got up very late the next day, and when Bonnie went to the company, Rhett hadn't gotten up yet.

Rhett arrived at the company after lunch, and Bonnie was about to speak when she saw him coming, but it was too late to say it, and Abraham, who hadn’t been seen all morning, came in with a stack of documents, saying that he had checked When it came to the matter of the workers who went on strike at the coal plant.

Reid had heard about the strike at the coal factory yesterday, so he asked, "How is the situation at the factory today?"

Abraham handed the official document in his hand to Rhett and Bonnie, "The situation has not spread, but they still decided to organize a strike tomorrow. But the news of your return, Captain, has not spread, so I guess they thought The company has no leader."

"It's so interesting..." Rhett's expression didn't look worried at all, and the angle of the corner of his mouth was inexplicably weird.

Abraham: "..." It's so interesting.

Abham went to check the information of the perpetrators, and found nothing at first, but after the recovery of Skynet, they found a key medicine bottle. After careful inspection, they found more tricks: "These three people were They are not workers from the coal plant at all. I am afraid that they bribed the current workshop supervisor, Dalls, to sneak in when we were handing over from the previous one, and the administration and information were a little chaotic. I checked, and they are not locals. It's from Augusta."

"Augusta?" Bonnie immediately grabbed a place name that sounded familiar, "Isn't that Brett's former territory?"

Abham said matter-of-factly: "But we can't find out the relationship between them and Bright."

Reid rubbed his chin, and said with interest: "It may not be Brett, he was already disgraced when he was dismissed, and he has no capital to fight us again, maybe other competitors have found their family members No?"

Abraham nodded, "Their family members are all in Augusta, and one of them is named Bruce. His mother was seriously ill, so he owed a lot of medical expenses, but a month ago, his mother's medical expenses were suddenly paid in full. , and was sent to the best local hospital for treatment.”

Bonnie: "So, the person who funded him is very suspicious. Have you found out who that person is?"

Abraham shook his head: "That person was only responsible for giving the money, and he didn't show up."

Rhett "tsk tsk" twice: "So, this Bruce is still a filial child, what about the others?"

Abraham wiped the cold sweat from his temples, feeling that Rhett's voice made him tremble uncontrollably. Is the captain already planning to deal with a few people?

As for the other two people, one owed a gambling debt, and the other was a gangster himself. The three conspired to incite those workers to demand higher new water and benefits.

All the things were provoked by the three of them first, while the others were more fish in troubled waters.

"Dad, there may be a conspiracy behind this incident. I asked them to send someone to talk to the people in the head office yesterday, but they didn't give me any reply." Bonnie glanced at Abraham, "Right? ?”

Abham: "From the news from the factory, they plan to come back to negotiate after a strike. It seems that they want us to see their strength in order to increase their bargaining chips."

"So here comes the problem," Bonnie said, "Actually, there are still many workers in the factory who are unwilling to follow the trend and make friends with them. How can they have the confidence to think that a strike can threaten us?" And they dealt with it in such a high-profile way. , It seems that they are not afraid at all that they should fire people, do they really think that Rhett is not around, so they can take advantage of the opportunity to make monsters?

Rhett seemed to realize something: "So Bonnie, you mean, there may be a bigger conspiracy behind it?"

"Maybe they plan to take advantage of this strike to secretly have a new plan." In other words, the strike may be just a cover, and someone wants to do something against their factory.

Abraham said: "I have sent someone to secretly follow Bruce. If there is any trouble with him, the people in the factory will call us as soon as possible."

Bonnie gave Abraham a thumbs up.

Abraham puffed out his chest triumphantly, "So Captain, please instruct me on what to do next."

Rhett was lost in thought.

In fact, the question is how to deal with these workers.

The salary Bonnie gave before was actually double the salary of the factory that was on the brink of bankruptcy before the acquisition, and it was the same as the salary of other factories under the Butler Company. In other words, what these people proposed was unreasonable. Require.It's actually not difficult to get those few leaders away, and then beat the other workers who followed suit with carrots and sticks, and it stands to reason that you can be honest.

But since they have already found out that there is someone behind these few people, there is no reason not to continue the investigation.

So whether to raise the sword first, or stand still, and send someone to monitor these people to see what they are planning.

"Bonnie, what do you think?" Rhett asked.

"Abham, are you sure that the news of Dad's return has not leaked?"

Bonnie's question made Albert a little uncertain: "If the captain was not seen by others when he came, then the news should not have reached the factory." Unless there are other undercover agents lurking in the company , but all the people who work in the head office have been working with the head office for at least three years, and their reliability is relatively high.

"Then don't take any action for the time being, just send a management to understand the situation." Make a show, don't startle the snake.But doing so is a bit risky, because so far, there is no clue to prove what they want to do.

"Just do it, I want to know what they want to do." Rhett made a final decision.

Abham wiped the sweat from his cheeks, and quickly backed out.

It's been a long time since I worked with the captain, and he always felt that the captain looked weird today, so it's better to leave as soon as possible.

After Abraham left, Bonnie and Rhett talked about the strike again.

By the way, Bonnie reported to Rhett what hadn't been reported these days.While the two were talking, Bonnie suddenly picked up a stack of documents on the table with a sly look on her face.

The stack of documents looked low but heavy, but the girl struggled to hold it.Seeing her staggering, Rhett immediately stood up and took the initiative to pile up the documents in front of him.

His daughter's intentions are obvious, and Reid understands, but her expression is inexplicably weird: "Speak, what are your requirements?"

Bonnie: "Dad, I want to ask for a few days off to go on vacation with Xiaobo, so I will leave these things to you for a few days."

"Vacation?" Red's brain sounded an alarm: so impatient?

"That's right." Bonnie said frankly, "I should go back to Tala with Xiaobo for a few days."

"Is it just you and Xiaobo?" Seeing that she was so calm, Rhett went straight to her.

This plan must be a private plan for Bonnie and Xiaobo, otherwise Kevin would tell them about it when they were eating at noon.

"Yeah, it's rare for Xiaobo to come back, and we haven't been back to Tara for a long time, so we want to go back and have a look." Bonnie said with a smile.

Rhett raised and lowered his eyebrows.Why does his daughter have no sense of crisis at all, did Scarlett tell her about sex?

If the opponent is not Xiaobo, he will break the opponent's leg.

Sure enough, his daughter didn't want to stay when she was older. Anyway, his daughter had already taken a fancy to Xiaobo, and he also thought Xiaobo was very good...

Just let it be.

Bonnie didn't see the entanglement in Rhett's heart. Anyway, she was used to Rhett agreeing to her whatever she wanted, so she just reported and handed over the work by the way.

"dad?"

Reid came back to his senses, and replied with a smile: "Leave it to me here, you and Xiao Bo go to Tara to relax, you have worked hard these days."

The handover was actually a big problem. Although she would send a telegram to Rhett every day to report the news here, Rhett had been outside for two months and was in control of things in Europe.

Bonnie picked up the main and urgent things. Anyway, she was only going for a few days to rest the nerves that had been tense these days and make her brain clearer.

When it was almost five o'clock, Bonnie was still writing hard, and Rhett looked at at least half of the undigested documents in his hand, sighed, and felt a little distressed: "No wonder they said yesterday that you work overtime every day. Add in the girls' school and the strike, do you have time to sleep?"

In fact, her body is not bad. Although her own healing ability to other people is gone, the healing ability seems to be able to keep her body in a healthy state, which may be regarded as a part of the benefits of the ability. Let's plant it, anyway, since she has the ability, she has never been sick again.

It's just that I'm a little nervous these days, so I need to relax.

Bonnie walked to Rhett's side and hugged his arm, "Dad, that's why I'm going to leave everything to you. In fact, when things are on track, I shouldn't be so tired."

Reid reached out and touched Bonnie's forehead: "It will only make you more tired." He didn't believe that Bonnie would not continue to open up new career territory, considering that she had just established a scientific research institute, and it was almost regardless of the cost Fortunately, there is a huge "funder" behind their company. Even if they are attacked by various economics, they don't need to worry about funding.

In the world of capital, there is nothing more real than gold.

Rhett was still a little distressed, and also worried that his daughter would not be able to survive at such a young age.

"Baby, we'll talk about the rest tomorrow. You're only going for a few days, not a few years. Even if you can't finish the handover, you can continue." Reid stretched out his hand to get his daughter up together, "Now, let's go home."

coal plant.

A man stood furtively by the small side door of the iron fence outside the factory, and the door lock opened with just a touch of his hand.

He dodged in and closed the door, taking advantage of the cover of night, and walked towards the factory building.

It was getting late, and it was almost time for the night shift workers to finish their work.

The man walked around the grass outside the factory building and made two "meow meow".

No one responded, and he "meowed" again. With the cover of overgrown grass, he could easily blend himself into the night.

Just when he was wondering if no one was coming, and poked his head again, someone trotted towards him not far away.

"Bruce!" someone yelled.

"Hush——" Bruce pulled him down. There were a lot of mosquitoes in the haystack, and both of them were bitten all over their heads.

Bruce flicked away the mosquitoes with his hands, and said dissatisfiedly: "Rekton, what did you ask me to do? Isn't there a strike tomorrow? Is there any plan for today?" He looked up and down, but did not see another The figure of the accomplice: "Where is Nasus?"

The three of them were the organizers of this operation. He and Renekton were both there, and Nasus' absence made him a little confused.Especially when everyone works for the same boss...

"No one followed you?" The man named Renekton lowered his voice, looking even more sneaky.

"Of course not." Although this place was chosen by himself, he was already attracted to mosquitoes, and now his whole body was itchy. He scratched left and right, "What's the matter with you, or we'll change the place."

Renekton suddenly stretched out his hand to cover Bruce's mouth, Bruce struggled subconsciously and then stopped, holding his breath, thinking that someone was coming.

After waiting for half a minute, the night seemed to be still, only the sound of the wind whimpering.

Bruce shook off Renekton's hand, and said puzzledly: "It seems that no one came."

On the contrary, Renekton calmed down, and said without expression: "I heard a voice just now."

"There are a lot of wild cats here. I have seen a few of them in the past few days. They were all blown into briquettes by the nearby charcoal ash and sandstorm. I guess you just heard their voices." Bruce said in a low voice.

Soon, he remembered again: "Rekton, you haven't said yet, what exactly you asked me to do is still mysterious."

"Hush—" Renekton let out a short sound.

This inexplicable low cry once again frightened Bruce so much that he didn't dare to move. The next moment, Renekton covered his mouth and nose with a piece of cloth, and a strange fragrance silently entered from the tip of his nose.

Bruce was taken aback and struggled hard, "What are you doing?"

He tried to push Renekton away, but was suppressed by the opponent with stronger means.But his body felt more and more weak, and even his brain seemed to go into a dormant state until he was completely lost in the darkness.

Renekton stood up quietly after he fainted, and looked left and right.

The workers on the night shift hadn't come out yet, and the night was still quiet, as if nothing had happened just now.

Renekton dragged the man out of the grass, and slowly dragged him to a dark corner beside the factory building.

This corner exudes an unpleasant stench and is the place where the garbage in the factory building is piled up.

At the moment, there is no light at all here.

Something jumped in the darkness, and after the rush of the wind, a pair of fluorescent green eyes stared straight at Renekton on the garbage pile in front of him.

Renekton paused, and put the person directly on the floor. With the help of the faint light from the corner, he found out that it was a black wild cat, and he was relieved.

He looked at the still unconscious person on the floor and smelled the disgusting smell of garbage in the air, so he couldn't help but dodge out.

Not long after he left, two tall men dressed in black walked in like cats.

One of them cautiously touched the person who was thrown in the trash with his toe. After making sure that there was no response, he squatted down, stretched out his hand, and poked under his nose.

"How?" A deep, almost whispering voice spread in the corner.

The squatting man whispered back: "Not dead."

"You bring this man to the boss, and I'll meet Clooney."

"clear"

The movements of the two were very neat, and only made some slight noises.

In the darkness, two fluorescent green eyes flickered all the time, seeing everything in their eyes.
