As night falls, the China Grand Theatre in the heart of Yenching lies like a giant egg next to the center of national power.

The staggered lights on the surface of the eggshell are like confusing stars, echoing with the deep blue night sky in the distance, making the Grand Theater full of subtle and unique charm and beauty. Men in crisp dresses and women in evening dresses held hands and walked through the crystal clear lake in front of the Grand Theatre and through the passage below into the concert hall where tonight's performance was held.

The ceiling of the concert hall is shaped as an abstract piece of modern art, and the seemingly messy grooves are actually acoustically designed so that the sound can be diffused and reflected. According to the characteristics of the concert performance, the concert hall adopts a modified shoebox design, that is, the seats are surrounded by seating around the stage, so that the stage is in the center of the theater, so that the sound can be better diffused and transmitted.

At this time, the members of the National Symphony Orchestra who are about to perform on this stage have already taken their places, although there is Zhang Ke, the orchestra leader wearing tuxedos, but the members still have a little nervous expression on their faces, because the repertoire of tonight's performance is relatively unfamiliar, and the National Symphony Orchestra has only rehearsed a few times, so they hurriedly came to perform.

The reason why he was in such a hurry was because the planners of this concert wanted to strive to become the first symphony performance after the opening of the China Grand Theater, and Zhang Ke, the head of the orchestra, also attached great importance to this performance, not only served as the concert director himself, but also invited national first-class singers such as Er Hong and Sun Li to lead singers.

The purpose of all these preparations is to satisfy a guest who is here tonight, and this guest is Wen Yi, the vice president of the National Development Bank, who named the whole concert after himself, and he is already sitting in the box with the best effect in the concert hall.

Wen Yi was wearing a black tuxedo tonight, with a delicate white bow tie at the neckline, and her sparse hair barely covering her smooth forehead, but her long and elegant face had an excited look.

He does have reason to be excited, after several months of intense preparations, this concert called "Wen Yi's Symphony Concert: Ode to China" is about to kick off, and after today's premiere at the China Grand Theater, it will also be performed in 17 large cities across the country, spreading Wen Yi's understanding of classical music to all parts of the motherland, so that more people can get in touch with classical music and fall in love with classical music.

This concert is Wen Yi's greatest achievement in recent years, and in his opinion, this achievement is far more proud and proud than his position as a senior FBJ official before the age of 40 and in forging the wind and rain in the financial and capital markets.

After all, Wen Yi has only been in contact with music for 5 or 6 years.

According to him, during a trip to the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, the majestic grandeur of the motherland's mountains and rivers activated the "musical gene" of gentleness. He sang all the way, and when he returned to Yanjing, he had already sung songs such as "We Love Each Other", "Olympic Love", "You Under the Rainbow", and then he created dozens of songs such as "Far Away", "Home", "Li River" and so on with super explosiveness, and marched to the difficult symphony.

Although he is in a high position, Wen Yi is not ambiguous at all when he plays music, and if he doesn't play, he is amazing. Soon created "Spring Whistle", "Struggle", "Serving the Country", "Take-off" and other symphonies, which were highly praised by professional composers and musicians.

A professional composer once made an exaggerated analogy to Wen Yi's achievement: "From a single-melody simple score song to a four-movement multi-part five-line symphony, the gap is no smaller than the difference between the evolution from ape to man." Wen Yi, as a halfway leader, has created such a complex and beautiful movement in just a few years, which is truly amazing.

Despite this, Wen Yi knew in his heart that the reason why he had the idea of touring was actually inspired by a young man, and even the name "Ode to Shenzhou" was proposed by this young man.

But Wen Yi definitely wouldn't tell anyone about it, because in his opinion, Ren Pingsheng, a young man, was a little ignorant.

Although he took out a loan for the land in his National Expo Park, he also left a way for Ren Pingsheng to survive.

As long as Ren Pingsheng agrees to sell the game company to his little brother Han Xi and let him reorganize the circle of money in the A-share market, Wen Yi will let him go.

Moreover, Han Xi didn't take his company for nothing, he also offered Ren Pingsheng a price of 2 billion.

In Wen Yi's opinion, Han Xi is already very kind in doing this, and some of the more black-hearted ones don't even give this money, and they directly rob it.

But Wen Yi and Han Xi are not this kind of people, they are very familiar with the rules of the capital market, and they only operate within the scope of what the rules can operate.

In Wen Yi's view, this is not a big deal, power and capital should be deeply combined, not to mention that his age is about the same, and it is impossible to go up, it is better to enjoy it as much as possible at an age that can still be enjoyed.

Wen Yi thought everything through thoroughly, but he didn't expect that Ren Pingsheng was an impenetrable person.

He actually rejected Han Xi's bid, and also took the initiative to withdraw the promised concert sponsorship, which was very naïve in Wen Yi's opinion.

As long as his meek name is displayed, securities firms and financial institutions all over the country will line up to ask for sponsorship, and they are eager to have the opportunity to get in touch with them.

This Ren Pingsheng really doesn't know how to lift.

Wen Yi has already made up his mind, not only does he want to reject the loan for the land in the National Expo Park, but also uses the power of the securities and financial departments to conduct a thorough investigation of this Ren Pingsheng's company, so that this young man who does not know the height of the sky understands who is the king in the financial circle.

At this time, Zhang Ke, who also had a bare forehead, came over, he is a well-known musician in China, and Wen Yi has known Wen Yi for many years, and he is also his right-hand man in the process of creating symphonies.

"Wen Xing, you see that the audience is all here, can you start the performance? ”

Zhang Ke asked flatteringly.

Wen Yi looked at the full concert hall, although he knew that most of them were employees of securities firms and financial institutions in Beijing, but he was very satisfied with the pomp and circumstance of his first concert.

It's just a pity that Han Xi, the little brother who has been with him for many years, is not present today, I heard that he has been sick again recently, and his family is not worried about him going out, Wen Yi wants to introduce him to a famous mental illness recuperation center, but Han Xi wants to save face, so he is willing to stay at home and take medicine.

Forget it, when you go to Hanhai City for the next performance, let's call Hanxi again.

"It's okay, let's go. ”

Wen Yi made a gesture, Zhang Ke hurriedly signaled to the conductor in the audience, only to see the famous conductor Shao De in a tuxedo wave the baton, and the cheerful movement immediately flowed out of the hands of the symphony orchestra members.

The first movement, "Spring Dawn", wants to show that after hundreds of years of backwardness, suffering and setbacks, the Chinese nation has ushered in the great rejuvenation of winter and spring, the renewal of Vientiane, the glory of a hundred flowers, and the vigor of vitality. The female solo "Spring is Coming" sang the longing, love and praise for the spring of the motherland.

Wen Yi listened to the performance, while gently patting on the sofa with his hand to the rhythm, the level of the National Symphony Orchestra is really not ordinary, and he played this piece vividly, next time he must let Lao Meng of the China Singing Corporation come over and give this performance an album record, so that music lovers who have not been able to come to the scene can also hear this wonderful music.

Wen Yi was listening, but was distracted by the yawning sound from the mouth of the female companion next to him, he glared at the woman next to him dissatisfied, although the low-cut evening dress she wore tonight revealed two pieces of snow-white skin, and the face that was lusted by male audiences across the country on the screen was also extremely gorgeous against the background of heavy makeup, but it is obvious that this female star who graduated from Yenching Film Academy does not know how to appreciate classical music, which is not surprising, because most of them only have the same cultural literacy as secondary school students.

At this time, Wen Yi was a little nostalgic for Guan Huanting to come, if she was by her side tonight, there would definitely not be such an incompatible behavior, she not only understands literature, art, history and geography, but also has a tacit understanding when talking about classical music, such a woman can only be able to lead by her side.

is not like this so-called female star, who is as stupid as a pig and has no taste at all.

It's just that recently, Guan Huanting has always been unable to arrange her time with herself because of her work arrangement, she didn't even live in the house in Wanguo City, and ran outside with the crew all day long, otherwise he would definitely bring Guan Huanting to this occasion today.

Thinking of this, Wen Yi felt a little distressed about Guan Huanting, this woman is really not easy, she has been with her for so long, and she is just an underground girlfriend, so she should marry her as soon as possible, and give her a name.

When Wen Yi was thinking nonsense, the symphony orchestra in the audience had already played the second chapter "Struggle", this chapter shows that as much as possible spring is coming, but the road ahead is still very tortuous, and we are still facing many difficulties and challenges, we must overcome difficulties with firm faith, fearless spirit and perseverance to complete the historical mission.

Wen Yi is very satisfied with the coordination of this orchestra and vocals, through the deep female singing, showing the dreams and pursuits of contemporary Chinese, showing their self-confidence, courage and strength, and showing their national spirit of self-improvement that has flowed in their blood for 5,000 years.

He shook his head and looked forward to the next chapter, "Serving the Country", but before the music could switch to this chapter, his train of thought was interrupted by a serious and cold bass.

"Comrade Wen Yi, we are members of the ZZZZ task force, please come with us. ”

Wen Yi stood up and looked at the few men in black who walked in behind him at some point with a puzzled face, all of them wearing black jackets and plain clothes, and the expressions on their faces were as cold and ruthless as granite stones.

Wen Yi understood something in an instant, and he knew that he would never have a chance to hear the next chapter again.

......

A few hours ago, in the "Zhonghai Zizhuyuan" community near Zizhu Bridge, the living room on the ninth floor of one of the buildings was brightly lit, and Han Xi and his family were discussing fiercely.

Because Han Xi's mental state was not very good during this time, and he refused to go to a psychiatric hospital for medical treatment, his wife and family were not at ease, so they took him to live at his parents' house, hoping that he could recover soon by his relatives.

Han's father Han Zhengying is over 70 years old this year, still in good spirits, straight waist, as the first professor of accounting in the Department of Accounting of the National University of Finance and Economics, Han Zhengying was also a member of the senior accountant jury, directly involved in the decision-making process of major national financial affairs, it is rumored that Han Xi can be in the capital market for many years, and Han's father's qualifications and connections have a lot to do with it, of course, Han Xi himself is very disgusted by this kind of remarks.

Han's wife Cheng Jingxia is two years younger than Han Xi, but she is Han Xi's partner and right-hand man in the business, she is from a famous family, is a protégé of the famous economist Wu Xiaoqiu, and currently serves as the vice chairman of Yongjin Investment Company.

Han Xi's elder brother Han Feng was also in the living room, and it stands to reason that he should appear in the China Grand Theater to run for the first concert of Wen Yi, the boss in their circle, but due to a lot of things going on at home today, Han's father specially gathered the brothers together to discuss the next way to deal with it.

The decorated rather quaint living room is confused with the smell of Tibetan incense, Han's father converted to Tibetan Buddhism after the death of his wife, and the family is constantly Tibetan incense and Tibetan music, Han Xi has also been interested in this in recent years, but he wants to cure his disease through Tibetan medicine and Tibetan medicine.

It's just that although he burned a lot of Tibetan incense, Han Xi's illness did not improve, although he took "Croxetine" on time every day, but the irrepressible nerve impulse made him keep wiping and rubbing his neck with his hands, and he used so much force that he wiped out several red marks on his neck.

Cheng Jingxia saw that his face was full of discomfort, and said with concern:

"Husband, do you want to take a shower and see if you feel comfortable. ”

Han Xi interrupted his wife anxiously and said:

"It's useless, it's useless. ”

Han Zhengying waved his hand and said to his daughter-in-law:

"You don't have to worry about him, this is a normal reaction of obsessive-compulsive disorder, which can be controlled as long as you insist on taking medicine, but he couldn't take medicine for the first few days, so the symptoms will be more serious. ”

Cheng Jingxia said worriedly:

"Hey, we know he's sick, and he's locked people up for so long, if something happens, we don't know. ”

Thinking of Han Xi's experience of being taken away by the members of the ZZ task force a few days ago, the faces of the people present were very ugly.

They all knew what it meant to be taken away for interrogation by the task force.

Han Feng, who hadn't spoken much, said tentatively:

"Second brother, have you confessed everything?"

Han Xi rubbed his neck vigorously, gritted his teeth and said:

"I didn't say it, and it was useless to say it, but it left a bad reputation. ”

This is Han Xi's character, although he looks quite Sven on the surface, but he is a very righteous person in his bones, so although he has been crisscrossing the rivers and lakes for many years, he has a good reputation in the circle and has many friends.

"When they saw that I was having a severe seizure, they told me to go home first, and they would call me later if I needed to. ”

Everyone was silent, although Han Xi came back this time, it didn't mean that they were out of danger, as long as the case was not over, Han Xi could be summoned again at any time.

Han Zhengying frowned and said to his son:

"I inquired from a few old friends about the rumors, and it is said that this case is very important, and they demand a thorough investigation of the results and show the society their determination to fight corruption. I'm afraid there is no room for recovery in the matter, so it's better to explain it early and suffer less guilt. ”

Han Xi shook his head, he didn't have the patience to answer his father's words properly at this time, because the reaction on his body became more and more serious, even extending to his back, he shook his head while grabbing his back with his hands, and scratched his back bloodshot.

Although Father Han was also awesome back then, he was old after all, and he no longer understood the current situation

The case of Guojing Securities is too complicated, and it is not something that Wen Yi and Han Xi can operate by themselves, they are just pawns on someone else's chessboard. Wen Yi was angry with himself before, and there are many characters involved in this matter, if he is caught, he must bear it to death. Because even if they confess, the case will not affect those who play chess higher up, but if they insist on not recruiting, those who play chess may do their best to save them.

So at this moment, Han Xi can't confess, he has to bear it.

At the very least, you have to carry it until your boss shows his attitude before making a decision.

But Han Xi could bear the inquiry, but he couldn't bear the symptoms on his body, and he was thinking about whether to take a shower as his wife said, when the mobile phone he had been carefully keeping lit up, and an unknown number from overseas sent a text message.

Han Xi opened the text message and saw that there were only two sentences on it.

"Stay in the green mountains, don't be afraid of no firewood. ”

Han Xi's face turned pale instantly, although he couldn't see the number, he knew who sent this text message, and he also understood what this sentence meant.

The itch on his back was even worse, and Han Xi couldn't bother to scratch it, and that sentence kept echoing in his mind.

As he knew before, if he took this case on his own, he would at least be able to leave most of his property to his relatives, and those people would give his wife and children a way to live.

But if he doesn't, the fate is predictable......

Han Xi has been in this river and lake for many years, he knows the bleak situation of the once invincible bigwigs after coming down from the peak, and he doesn't want to repeat the mistakes of these people.

At the very least, he had something to leave for his loved ones.

Han Xi reluctantly looked at his still charming wife, and at his gray-haired father, at this moment he missed these relatives incomparably, but he had to make a choice.

Han Xi took a deep breath, stood up, and under the surprised gaze of his family, he quickly rushed to the open balcony and leaped towards the sky nine stories away.

This time, Han Xi's back no longer itches.

......

In the spacious bathroom of the Sheraton Hotel in Manhattan, New York, Ren Pingsheng closed the mobile phone he had just finished texting, unplugged the power supply, took out the SIM card, threw it into the toilet, and watched the water flush it away, followed by the text message sent to Han Xi's mobile phone.

He didn't need to verify it to predict what kind of drama would be staged in Yanjing City, far across the ocean, in the next few hours.

He also had no intention of paying attention to these plays that were already destined to be staged, because next, it was his turn to perform on stage.

With confident steps, Ren Pingsheng walked into the press room of the Sheraton Hotel with a smile on his face.

At this time, the audience was already crowded with media reporters who rushed to hear the news, including CNN, MSNBC, FOXNEWS and other mainstream media in the United States, and of course, more domestic financial media, who wanted to witness the signing of the largest financing in the global Internet industry in 2007.

As Ren Pingsheng's pace gradually approached, the representatives of all parties sitting in front of the signing table covered with red velvet also came into view in turn.

There are ICG capital, red shirt capital, and Softbank China, and the top players in the venture capital circle are all in place, because no one wants to miss the last round of financing before the listing of Wanyou Games, and there are two representatives of local industrial capital present on the same day, namely Fuxing Group and Yingtai Group, who are very optimistic about the development prospects of Wanyou Games, and hope to strengthen their cooperation in many fields through this investment.

However, the first thing Ren Pingsheng saw in his eyes was Jiang Qiurong, as the president of the New York branch of Hanhai Bank, she also attended the signing ceremony on behalf of the financial adviser of this financing.

The black women's suit wraps her curvy long figure appropriately, and the two slender jade legs wrapped in skin-colored stockings are pedaling 5 cm high heels black shiny pointed shoes, and the bun coiled behind her head makes her cold and pretty face with light makeup look very professional, but looking at Ren Pingsheng's pair of phoenix eyes is full of scorching flames.

Although Jiang Qiurong was still so attractive, Ren Pingsheng's eyes did not stay on her for too long, and after shaking hands with the signing representatives on the stage in turn, he sat in the main seat, opened the signed book that had been placed, and took turns to write his name.

When the six signing books were signed, Jiang Qiurong announced the specific signing content to the media present:

Universal Games Co., Ltd. is valued at $3 billion and has raised a total of $600 million in this round. Among them, ICG Capital, Red Shirt Capital and SoftBank China each contributed US$100 million to obtain a 3% stake, while Fuxing Group and Yingtai Group each contributed US$150 million to obtain a 5% stake.

Compared with the valuation of $50 million in the first round of financing, the valuation of Universal Games has increased by 60 times in less than a year, which shows the recognition of the capital market for this fast-growing online game emerging force, and also reflects the good trend of the current domestic economic situation.

In this financing, the biggest winner, in addition to Ren Pingsheng, is, of course, ICG Capital, which used $10 million to acquire a 20% stake in Universal Games in the first round of financing, and their investment quickly proved its value, so they did not want to miss the last round of financing before Universal Games went public.

At that time, the red-shirt capital that passed by Wanyou Game, although it was a little embarrassed and regretful, but they must not miss the last opportunity, so this time they also used their own actions to make up for the past misjudgment, and other venture capital and industrial capital all held the same mentality to participate in financing and participate in this rare capital feast.

Hearing the specific content of the signing, the media in the audience was in an uproar, the financing of Universal Games not only set a new record for the single financing amount of global Internet start-ups, but also the least number of financing among the start-ups that have achieved a valuation of more than 1 billion.

Because most of the previous huge financings took place in Silicon Valley and Wall Street in the United States, although the signing location is in the United States, the company that has received huge investment is from China, and most of the representatives of the signing ceremony are typical Asian faces.

High-quality enterprises, fanatical capital, young entrepreneurs, everything means that the eastern power is rising, everything makes the American media accustomed to Wall Street style feel novel, and the Chinese media present are very excited, whether the hundreds of millions have anything to do with them or not, after all, this is the Chinese enterprise showing its face, and all Chinese will be proud.

Therefore, when the protagonist of tonight's signing ceremony, Ren Pingsheng, chairman of Wanyou Games Co., Ltd., walked to the spotlight for an interview, the Chinese media in the audience asked the most enthusiastic questions, and the flash of taking pictures also flashed the most diligently.

However, Ren Pingsheng didn't want to make a long speech today, he just disclosed a few pieces of information concisely and clearly:

1. Universal Games will be listed soon, and the listing location is scheduled to be on the NASDAQ stock market in the United States.

2. Universal Games' flagship game "Ideal World" will launch a new expansion pack "Ideal Home" at the end of the month, welcome everyone to experience the trial.

After completing this brief media conversation, Ren Pingsheng ignored the follow-up questions of various media, politely declined Jiang Qiurong's fragrant invitation, and went straight back to the luxury executive suite he had booked.

Because there was someone waiting for him, a woman who was especially important to him.

Walking into the bedroom with her feet on the soft carpet of the Deluxe Executive Suite, the red dress lady reclining on the king-size bed came into view.

The bright red silk dress made her skin whiter than snow, her slender and soft white arms slightly supported her chin, and her beautiful apricot eyes stared at the TV screen, as if she was engrossed in watching something.

Seeing the figure of the man coming in, Gao Yuanyuan's dignified and delicate goose egg face showed a faint smile, and she laughed softly:

"You're quite photogenic, I chose a good suit for you. ”

Following her line of sight, a clip of Ren Pingsheng's announcement at the signing ceremony was being broadcast on the TV screen.

Gently sitting down on the edge of the bed, Ren Pingsheng stroked the beauty's exposed smooth jade back, and said lovingly:

"It's good, but it's a little bit less interesting without you by your side. ”

Gao Yuanyuan's eyes flashed with a gentle light, she gently rested her head on the man's knee, and said softly:

"You know, I'm not fit to be on this kind of occasion, lest some people with ulterior motives chew their tongues. ”

Her voice was still clear, but her tone was gentle.

"You continue to forge ahead in front of the stage, and I can help you behind the scenes. ”

If in his previous life, someone told Ren Pingsheng that Gao Yuanyuan, who had to do the best in everything, was willing to be a little woman behind a man's back, he would definitely regard it as nonsense.

But the tender girl in front of her, her soft and boneless body touch, and the rich fragrance emanating from her body made Ren Pingsheng have to believe that she is not living in a dream.

This is indeed Gao Yuanyuan's heart.

Ren Pingsheng knew that it was not rebirth that changed all this, but her love for herself.

And Ren Pingsheng can not repay her too much.

So he gently picked up the delicate goose egg face, looked at the pair of clear eyes, and said very seriously:

"Let's go to my house for the Chinese New Year this year, meet our father and mother, and let them know you. ”
