This year's winter seems to be colder than usual in any year, New York and nearby Massachusetts, Pennsylvania and more than a dozen other states have issued cold wave warnings, the temperature has repeatedly fallen below the record, and even the weather station has called it the coldest period in the past 20 years, which makes New Yorkers who have been accustomed to the warm winter of recent years feel unbearable.

Even when people start to arm themselves with thick coats and collars, it is difficult to resist the eroded cold, and just a few moments outside can make one feel like they might freeze to death.

Of course, this also makes fashionistas, city celebrities and professional elites even more inseparable from indoor heating.

Midtown Manhattan, as the most crowded and prosperous area of Manhattan Island, most of the commercial office buildings, high-end hotels and mansions in the entire New York City are clustered on dozens of square kilometers of land, which can almost be said to be the most densely populated area of skyscrapers in the world and an important financial center.

Even the extremely cold weather did not stop the busy and stressful operation of this financial center.

"Ok! Gewen, I can only tell you that if Ms. Shu has time, I will put this plan on her desk. As for what's next, there's no one to say, but I'm sure you can understand it, right?"

Patricy Schultz, an administrative assistant, sat in her 12th-floor office at the New York headquarters of Westy Global, smiling at the handsome and shy young man in front of her with a steaming cup of coffee in her hand, and with a hint of reserve, her chin nodded in an almost imperceptible way.

Ge Wen, the young man standing at the desk, immediately solemnly placed the folder in front of her with both hands, and at the same time said a lot of good things with a flattering expression, explicitly implying that he promised some benefits, and then turned around and walked out of the office, although he was desperately suppressed, but fluttering as if drunken footsteps, anyone could see the excitement and surging in his heart.

"Another poor fellow, why do they always think they will be the lucky ones in the end? ”

In the first seconds after the other party walked out of the office, Patrici only glanced at the cover on the folder, picked it up, and slipped it into the mountain of papers in the corner of the desk. As a full-time assistant to Diana Shue, Senior Executive Vice President for North America, she receives all sorts of documents from her boss every week, whether it's envelopes or flowers.

Of course, the latter are often thrown directly into the trash, and as for a guy like Gewen who wants to show his talent with a somewhat reliable or interesting idea, he can only be regarded as a little smarter, and he can only laugh at fifty steps and laugh at a hundred steps.

As much as Patrici enjoyed the feeling of being flattered, she knew very, very well that she only needed to do one thing to keep her promising position and go further: to please her boss.

Thinking of this, Patrici subconsciously turned her head to look next door, through the glass curtain wall, you can clearly see that in the innermost office, two men sitting at the desk are dancing, which can make the vice president of sales and the vice president of marketing who are above the top so excited that they forget to maintain their image, you can imagine how much pressure the owner of the office gave them, and she even felt that the shouting sound penetrated the curtain wall with excellent sound insulation effect, and faintly reached her ears.

"Are you kidding?!Diana, do you know how sluggish the market is right now? And we've seen sales growth of more than 6 percent for the third year in a row. What could be better proof that we've weathered the bust?" the vice president of sales squirmed with a red face, and then tugged at his already crooked tie, as if trying to use a high-pitched tone to enhance his persuasiveness.

The vice president of marketing, who was sitting next to him, was a little calmer, but he was also showing his attitude with a blue face.

"Data doesn't lie, but we all know that data is always changing. And there is always only one thing that Weishidi has to do, to make customers more satisfied. Shu Ning threw the Chinese piece in his hand in front of the other party, his expression was still calm, and he didn't seem to hear the impassioned defense at all. "We need to convince our customers that we are not selling goods and services, but culture. Only in this way can you be worthy of your salary. ”

The vice president of sales wanted to refute, but after seeing the other party's calm and deep gaze, he was inexplicably suffocated. The face of the woman in front of her seemed to have an indistinguishable luster, full of holiness, holiness, and tranquility, and in a trance, it was like the Virgin Mary standing in the church.

"Hell, I must be hallucinating in a dizzy mind......"

What's more, deep down in his heart, he understood that the other party had already spoken of his weakness.

Although he had racked his brains countless times to bring down the arrogant woman in front of him and replace her, he didn't even realize it, and deep down, he always vaguely felt that Diana Shu had a terrifying power, more terrifying than any opponent and boss he had ever seen.

"I hope to see a new plan by next week. After glancing at the two of them, Shu Ning motioned for them to leave and reopened the document in hand.

"Damn, one day I'm going to let this woman know how powerful ......"

As the VP of Sales and VP of Marketing passed by the office door, Patrici even faintly heard them gritting their teeth and smiling contemptuously, she was used to similar scenes, but the ending was the same every time. Even if she didn't hear the conversation between the two sides, she could feel that the two vice presidents were hard and empty-hearted.

As the youngest executive of the Westy Global Group, Diana Shu is simply a legend, and it took only two years to return to North America from the distant ocean with dazzling results, and then soar like a rocket with unparalleled momentum and ability.

Always energetic and imposing, some people have already called her the Iron Lady in private, and from this alone, it can be seen that her ability and performance are strong enough to make everyone ignore beauty and age.

Patrici sorted out the documents in her hand, subconsciously brushed her suit, walked into the boss's office with vigorous steps, and showed a smile that happened to be everywhere: "Diana, here are the latest documents, and don't forget, you made an appointment with Mr. Baldwin of United Technologies for lunch at noon......"

Just when she was reporting to work in an orderly manner, she heard the phone ring on the table, and when Shu Ning saw the caller number clearly, she showed a rare cold expression, her good-looking brows frowned tightly, and she raised her hand to interrupt her report.

Patrici's heart suddenly, such an expression was rarely seen on the boss's face. This female boss, who is more powerful than beautiful, admires her the most that almost nothing can stump her. So the female assistant immediately put down the file and quietly retreated outside the office door so as not to hear the content of the phone call.

was secretly speculating about which big man called, only to see Shu Ning bow his head and talk a few words on the phone, and immediately picked up his coat and walked out after hanging up.

"I have something to leave, help me put down all the arrangements and appointments for today. Also, contact Mr. Baldwin to apologize, I will arrange another time to treat him to dinner......"

Shu Ning's feet kept walking out, and Patrici, who was following behind, even had to trot all the way to barely keep up, nodding desperately to write down the things he had explained, and sent them to the elevator door, watching the elevator door close.

"I don't know what made Diana so angry...... It's really terrible......" When she followed Shu Ning just now, Patrici almost felt that the temperature around her had decreased, as if the heating had lost its effect, and she didn't breathe a sigh until this time.

If she saw Shu Ning taking the elevator directly to the bottom floor at this time, I am afraid she would only feel even more terrifying, even the faint gentleness of ordinary people completely disappeared, exuding a cold aura like a living person, and walked straight to the middle of the ground floor hall.

Two men who were out of step with their surroundings sat on the sofa somewhat casually, one of them in a shabby leather coat, his scruffy curly hair hanging down his forehead as if he had just been washed and dry, and a shiny wooden pipe in his mouth. Another stout man wore black sunglasses, a long, thin trench coat, and an intricate tattoo on his neck, making it impossible to tell what it was.

These two men were very different from the men and women in suits and leather shoes who came and went in the building, and it was clear from the nervous gazes of the guards with batons on the side that they had been classified among the most dangerous elements. If it weren't for the fact that the two of them didn't force themselves upstairs, I'm afraid they would have already surrounded them.

When walking through the hall, Shu Ning walked directly in front of the two without squinting or saying a word, his face was as cold as ice.

The man with the pipe grinned at the corners of his mouth, motioned for the tattooed man to stand up with him, and followed him out of the building.

The heavy snow that had been falling for a few days had finally stopped for a while, but the wind outside was still very strong, and the hair was blowing and gently brushing his cheeks. Shu Ning walked steadily and quickly to the corner of the building, looking at the sky overhead, the heavy clouds made the day look as dark as dusk, only a faint light was faintly revealed on the horizon. Her mind became a little dazed, and she didn't know why she suddenly remembered that early morning many years ago, and after a crazy and exciting night, her life was completely changed.

A magical and mysterious "The Nerves of Many Wonderful Ghosts" has exposed her to a new field, a strong mind and soul day after day, a strong body like reversing time, and even her beautiful face is no longer destroyed by time.

However, she also entered a world that she had never seen before, like an ignorant child carrying a treasure, carefully walking in the dark forest, but she was still inevitably discovered by the beasts in the forest. When you have a new power, it is impossible to live an ordinary life again.

"Pipes, ghosts, I warned you, don't show up here. ”

Shu Ning took a light breath, emptied these messy thoughts from his mind, regained his composure, and turned around to look at him with a cold gaze.

These people are all outliers with the same power as themselves, and they usually only call each other by code names, to distinguish them from their identities in the secular society. She has always been deeply vigilant about these people, but it is difficult to get rid of the entanglement, because behind them, there is a dark force that is entangled and complex.

"I haven't seen you for a few days, and you're still so pretty, Diana. I thought I was going to break the necks of the shitty inside before you showed up. The curly-haired man in a shabby leather coat muttered a pipe in his mouth, and a thick smoke spewed out, which spread so far that even the howling cold wind could not disperse, enveloping almost the entire face, and looking strange and gloomy in the dim sky.

Shu Ning's face changed suddenly, and anger rose, and the other party called himself by his name instead of a code name, and the threat contained in it was unknown without asking. In the depths of her eyes, if there is no golden luster appearing, she steps forward!

Click!

Beneath his feet the ground cracked into a shallow crater, and the solid concrete stone flew out like arrows to the smoke-shrouded pipe, powerful enough to shatter the skull.

The tall ghost stood silently in front of him, the blast of concrete stones slamming into his body, but without making a sound, it seemed to be stuck in a muddy swamp, and the sunken muscles intertwined and snapped, stuck in it.

"You know we're going to find you, Phoenix. The ghost lowered his head slightly, condescendingly looking down at Shu Ning with a cold gaze like a poisonous snake. "If you don't play Disappear, there's no need to waste our time. ”

As he spoke, the muscles on the surface of his stout body relaxed, and the stones that were deep in it crackled and fell to the ground, and in the blink of an eye he regained his will, blinking his eyes as if nothing had happened.

"As I said, I'm not interested in the news of Sacred Mountain, and I don't want to go against the military!" Shu Ning said with an expressionless face.

"Tsk, woman, how ruthless!" the pipe let out a shrill shrill laugh as it circled the ghost's tall body. "Phoenix, don't forget, the intelligence department's investigation is still for you to solve. If you don't attend, Lord Storm will be happy to let you be his food. ”

Hearing this name, a trace of jealousy flashed in Shu Ning's eyes, and he was silent for a few seconds before he said, "When are you going to do it?"

"Wise choice! Now, Lord Storm is already waiting for us at the mouth of the Hudson River. The pipe clapped lightly, and made an inviting gesture as if he were to turn sideways.

Shu Ning gave him a cold look and followed behind the ghost.

Suzi language...... After that day, it seemed like we hadn't seen each other for a long time. ”

As she took a step, the face of a young man flashed in front of her eyes.

……

"Liberty Island, why is this place, what's so special about it?"

Su Ziyu gently stirred the coffee with the silver spoon in his hand, but he didn't mean to drink it, just turned his head to look to the right. Through the floor-to-ceiling glass curtain wall, you can clearly see a huge statue standing silently thousands of meters away, at the confluence of the river and the sea, surrounded by trees.

He was located at the 173 Rafaurie Building on the Hudson River on Manhattan Island, a 270-meter-high skyscraper close to the confluence of the Hudson River and the East River.

Hearing his question, Yun Chunyang glanced at Ji Xuanzong, who was sitting opposite, and smiled: "For ordinary people, this is just a famous attraction, the location of the Statue of Liberty. But in fact, more than 100 years ago, it was not called Liberty Island, but Bedro Island, which was once the Bedro military base. ”
