He drove the car straight to the door of a house, it turned out to be a small shop, although it was not big, but the goods in it were quite complete, Li Qiang bought some food that could be put in it, and threw it into the car. After paying the money, he and Mr. Bai went their separate ways.

He went back to look at the shop, Li Qiang walked along the village, and an old locust tree appeared in front of him, with a thick trunk, and the two of them might not be able to hug it.

The pit was surrounded by a low stone wall, and some strips of red cloth hung from the outstretched branches. It seems that the people of the village have a lot of respect for this tree, so they often come here to worship it.

Li Qiang stood in front of the big tree and looked up to the north. To the north is a mountain with a long, narrow path that winds and leads directly into the depths of the mountain.

Looking up at the sky, the faint clouds had dispersed, the sky was clear, and the sun was gradually turning west. The mountain in front of me is not big or small, and the sheep intestine path looks clear, so there must not be too many bumps in the way to climb the mountain. So it shouldn't be difficult to get through the mountain before dark.

Without further ado, Li Qiang hurriedly walked forward, and sure enough, as Li Qiang expected, this sheep intestine path was okay.

There are knee-high weeds on both sides, and some steady bluestones under your feet. As the saying goes, the mountain eats the mountain, and I want to be built by the people of the village when they go up the mountain to chop firewood or pick mushrooms.

In this way, Li Qiang kept walking up, and after walking through the mountainside, there was a forest in front of him.

The branches and foliage of the pine trees grow luxuriantly, covering the sky and the sun, and the inside is extremely dark. A mountain wind blew, and there was a bleak sound in the pine forest.

Li Qiang followed the path and went into the pine forest.

The forest must have been old for a long time, and the pine needles were covered under its feet, and after years of accumulation, it had reached a certain thickness. So it's very soft to step on.

Lifting his nose and smelling it, there was a bitter smell in the air, which Li Qiang was very familiar with. When I was still in Liujia Town before I was seven years old, every spring, when the lilacs on the northern slope of Nanshan Mountain bloomed, the whole village was filled with this fresh and bitter smell.

However, it's late autumn, not the season when lilacs are in full bloom, so the smell is somewhat weird now.

There was no road in the woods, but Li Qiang remembered that Mr. Bai had said that crossing this mountain was the ravine, so he followed the mountain and climbed all the way up.

After walking like this for a while, I finally came to the top of the mountain.

There was a huge stone at the top of the mountain, the top of the stone was quite flat, Li Qiang climbed to it, and looked to the north.

The entire northern side of the mountain was shrouded in mist, so nothing could be seen. Listen carefully, there is only the mountain breeze.

Looking up to the west, the sun was on the mountain, and as it was about to set, the clouds on the side of the mountain had been dyed red and emitted an orange glow. So the fog in the north was also dyed red.

At first glance, it looks like a raging fire, and the north side of this mountain seems to be a purgatory on earth.

Li Qiang can't delay any longer, otherwise it will be dark, and he must find Qinglian before dark, otherwise Li Qiang will sleep in the mountains.

In this barren mountain and wilderness, it is inevitable that wild beasts will be infested, and it will be a very dangerous thing.

Thinking of this, he jumped off the stone and walked along the mountain towards the north.

After walking down for a while, a slightly flat place appeared in front of me, this place was different from the place next to it, although it was overgrown with wild grass, but if you look closely, there are traces of once cultivated here, but looking at the growth of these wild grasses, it must have been abandoned for a long time.

In this way, there should be a village on the north side of the mountain.

To the north of the field, there is a faint path, which seems to have been eroded by the grass for many years.

Li Qiang quickened his pace and walked down the mountain. After walking a short distance, he suddenly heard someone talking behind him.

The voice is slender, sounding like a woman and like an unfinished child.

Li Qiang wondered a little in his heart, how could someone else appear in the barren mountains and mountains?

"Hi...... Hi ......"

The guy in the back shouted at Li Qiang, Li Qiang was quite unhappy in his heart, and he didn't even have a salutation when he could greet people. simply ignored him, and continued to walk forward without looking back

"I'm talking to you, and you're going to answer Li Qiang when you arrive? Look back at Li Qiang, look back at Li Qiang......

It was obvious that the guy was following behind Li Qiang and asked Li Qiang one by one.

Li Qiang couldn't help but look back, and the scene in front of him startled Li Qiang.

There was no one behind him at all, and not far from Li Qiang's feet, there was a furry thing.

He has grayish-yellow fur, a body that is two palms long, a thick tail, a small head, and sharp-beaked monkey gills. Two soybean-sized eyeballs swirled back and forth.

He stood upright with his two hind paws on the ground, holding a lump of dry cow dung on top of his head with his two front paws.

He was holding his head up, chattering:

"Hey, do you see Li Qiang look like a human?

In the barren mountains and mountains, it is not strange to see this kind of small animal, after all, Liang Yu, whom Li Qiang wants to rescue, is a fox demon.

But most of the time, she appears in human form. So in Li Qiang's mind, he never regarded it as a fox.

But in broad daylight, this thing suddenly appeared behind him, and he asked you if he looked like a human being, which was creepy enough.

Presumably, this thing has been cultivated for decades, and it is somewhat Taoist, so it came out to play tricks on people.

Li Qiang's right hand was inserted into his trouser pocket, holding the handle of the short knife. Li Qiang was too lazy to deal with him, mainly because he didn't want to cause any more trouble.

So Li Qiang turned his head and continued to walk forward, and quickened his pace.

But that thing didn't give up, and followed closely behind Li Qiang. Even if Li Qiang didn't look back, he could clearly hear the sound of him rustling over the wild grass.

He followed closely behind Li Qiang and asked Li Qiang one by one:

"Wait Li Qiang, wait Li Qiang, you told Li Qiang, Li Qiang doesn't look like a person, Li Qiang doesn't look like a person?"

The more Li Qiang didn't want to pay attention to him, the more he chased after him, and Li Qiang couldn't help but be upset by him.

simply turned his head and yelled at him,

"Get away, Li Qiang looks at you like a donkey dung ball......"

As soon as Li Qiang's words fell, the guy's body shook, and he turned over on the spot, and the dry cow dung held in his two front paws suddenly let go, and rolled out far ahead along the mountain.

He landed on all fours, and fled to the grass next to him in a hurry, muttering as he ranched:

"It's over, it's all ruined, it's all ruined......"

In the blink of an eye, he disappeared into the grass and disappeared completely.

So the whole world in front of him was quiet again, which made Li Qiang feel a little panicked. So Li Qiang had no choice but to walk forward quickly, and even trotted up.

In this way, Li Qiang drilled through a forest again, climbed over a lilac bush, climbed over two stone pits, and finally a ravine appeared in front of him.

The ravine is not large, and the mountains next to it are steep. There is a winding path in the middle of the ravine, but the road is overgrown with weeds, and no one has been here for a long time.

Looking up at the sky, the original evening sunshine had disappeared, and the gray haze overhead, so the light in the ravine was dim.

Li Qiang walked along the ravine and found that the barren grass on both sides was full of strange-shaped willow trees.

There are also some desolate graves under the willow trees, and these desolate graves have low heads, and it seems that no one has worshiped them for a long time......

"Mr. Chen!"

"Well, Manager Chen, you have informed that at four o'clock in the afternoon, the company's senior management above the manager level will have a meeting. ”

"Yes!"

Chen Yun responded, glanced at Li Qiang, and saw that he didn't mean to speak again, so he said clearly: "Mr. Chen, if there is nothing else, I'll go and get busy first." ”

"Good!"

The notice was soon released in the management group, and seeing this notice, a group of executives naturally inevitably guessed.

Less than three days after Li Qiang took office, he fired a manager of the security department, and even caught the security guard, which made everyone very curious, who is the next target of this Mr. Chen? Which department is it?

Of course, some people are not worried.

Those old subordinates who were Li Xuehan thought that they had no second thoughts, and thought that they were naturally as stable as Mount Tai. And people like Zhu Wenfeng inevitably have a feeling of fear.

In the office, Zhu Wenfeng looked at the news in the mobile phone group, and a trace of irritability flashed in his eyes.

For Li Qiang, he is now afraid and hateful!

Thinking about it, Zhu Wenfeng opened the communication record and found a number to dial.

After a while, Kang Qiao and Su Lan came to his office.

Seeing Zhu Wenfeng's unhappy look, the two glanced at each other, and then smiled.

Kang Qiao and Su Lan are both extremely intelligent people, otherwise it would be impossible to sit in the position of director in Guoguang jewelry.

Looking at Zhu Wenfeng's expression, the two easily guessed why he was upset.

The two sat down opposite Zhu Wenfeng.

Kang Qiao was the first to speak: "Wen Feng, what's wrong with you? Are you angry with yourself or are you angry with yourself? It's all a trivial matter, I don't think it's necessary, right? It's not worth it to be angry." ”

"In three days, I lost a security department! In another three days, it will be the turn of the production department, the procurement department, the personnel department, and the finance department, do you think I can not be angry?"

Zhu Wenfeng's voice was full of grievances, as if a bullied child was crying and shouting when he saw his own adult.

Kang Qiao and Su Lan looked at each other again, each shaking their heads slightly.

"Wen Feng, it's just a security department!" Su Lan said with a smile: "You have to think about it the other way, a general manager of another family, who has those departments in his hands, operation, marketing, design, and planning, is it a bit worthless compared to the departments in your hands, right? Think about it, productivity is in your hands, money and personnel are also in your hands, everything in the company is under your control, what are you angry about? In my opinion, the security department is just dispensable. ”

"Yes, Wen Feng, if you really care about the Security Department, you don't necessarily have no choice. Didn't he have a senior management meeting in the afternoon? If he changes the manager, we will directly withdraw the entire security department. ”

"Well, Director Kang is right, the security department is gone, what else can I do with him?"

"But what if he insists on disagreeing? That Lin Hua is his person, and now that he is the general manager, it is not difficult to keep the security department. ”
