Chapter 258: Sixteen Years Later
readx; Sixteen years later, in X City, the subway station is full of commuters, melancholy Mondays, people who were still nostalgic for the joy of the holiday, by the way, taking advantage of this practical part before going to work to make up for a nap, now, regardless of gender, all people would rather give up their precious time, and peek at a man standing elegantly in front of them. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info is really a fair-skinned and beautiful man, with a slender figure and handsome facial features, exuding an indifference, and a cold temperament that makes people unable to take their eyes off. It's like a beautiful man who came out of a comic book, he doesn't have to do anything, just standing there, it makes people feel pleasing to the eye-secretly thinking in his heart, Lu Xia, who is sitting in the seat, like everyone else in the carriage, can't help but secretly raise his eyes and peek at the man. In fact, she is very fond of looking at this kind of slender man with a quiet and cold temperament, and she always feels as if she is admiring a beautiful painting, and she is in a good mood just by looking at it. If you were not in the carriage now, but under the cherry blossom trees with pink and white petals, the picture would be even more perfect, but it is a pity that ...... "sigh...... It's a pity that there are no cherry blossoms in the subway......" There is no colorful falling ying in my heart to add to the beauty of the picture, Lu Xia muttered unconsciously, and the self-talk that she didn't regret at all had been listened to by the handsome man standing in front of her seat. Suddenly, the handsome man subconsciously lowered his eyes and looked forward, but he happened to meet the beautiful eyes that raised his eyes and peeked at them...... Yes! Finished! His voyeuristic behavior was discovered on the spot, and it was a big mess! A pair of deep eyes that hung down, Lu Xiadeng's cheeks turned red with embarrassment, and he felt that it was really ...... What a shame! Embarrassed, she quickly opened her eyes, pretending to be nothing, but her delicate and sweet face was as red as the red apples of the four seasons, revealing her embarrassment unabashedly. I don't know if I'm used to being spied on, or if my mind has never been easily revealed. Seeing that the handsome man was still expressionless after noticing her sneaking, his dark eyes moved away from her without the slightest fluctuation, and turned to stare out of the transparent glass window again. Coming to the station? Ay...... It's so embarrassing, I just want to get off the car quickly - I can't help but secretly wail in my heart, Lu Xia said that he didn't dare to turn his eyes back to the man anymore, and he only looked forward to getting to the station and stopping quickly, so that she could escape quickly, so as not to be regarded as a strange girl who peeped at men in the subway station. Ay...... Why were so many people in the carriage peeking at him, but only she was caught red-handed when he was in line with his gaze? Alas! In fact, she rarely peeked at men like this, and she couldn't help but keep peeking just now, because ...... Because he gave her a familiar feeling, like the feeling of the big brother she met when she was six years old. To be honest, although I still remember the agreement back then, I have a vague impression of what the big brother looks like. I only vaguely remember that the eldest brother is tall and thin, very good-looking, standing under the cherry blossom tree, with a faint and cold special temperament, beautiful like a painting. Stunned recalled the adventure when he was a child, subconsciously touched the crescent pendant under the shirt on his chest, and smiled unconsciously on his lips...... If it weren't for this necklace as proof, I would really think it was a dream I imagined! I wonder if the big brother still remembers the agreement back then? In another half a year, the sixteen-year covenant will arrive, and he shouldn't forget it...... Just as he fell into the memory, the car had already arrived at the station, and the summer quickly came back to his senses, got up with his head down and bypassed the man in front of him, without that face to look at the other person again, he hurriedly got off the car, and walked towards the exit, not knowing that the man also got off at the same stop. Soon, the summer was slowly going up the escalator, and in front, the chubby middle-aged man on the upper step didn't know what was going on, and he didn't care about the safety of others at all, and his arm carrying the briefcase suddenly swung back. Let Summer be hit by this sudden accident and lose her balance, and her body will fall backwards unsteadily. Oops! She didn't want to be a victim of falling like this in the subway station. Before she could scream, her backward body had been firmly resisted from behind, avoiding a tragedy. Frightened, her face turned pale, her heart beat like a drum, and she stabilized her body, Lu Xia hurriedly wanted to thank the life-saving benefactor behind him, but when she turned around, what caught her eye was ...... Inside the carriage, the handsome man she peeped at! He- he also got off at this stop? Wow - how can this be so coincidental? Voyeur was caught, even someone was inexplicably hit and almost fell off the escalator, and he was rescued by his hand, what day is today, how can the troubles and tragedies that happened early in the morning have anything to do with him? Her face, which was originally frightened and pale with fright, turned red in an instant, and she was so embarrassed that she even stammered when she thanked her. "Thank you!" "You're welcome." Nodding his head, he responded politely, and after glancing at her lightly with deep black eyes, he turned away again, and his detached demeanor showed that he didn't want anything else involved. Lu Xia was not stupid, he felt the coldness of the man, and after quickly whispering thank you, he immediately turned around and stopped bothering others. After a while, when she got out of the subway, she subconsciously looked at her watch ...... "Ah! It's going to be late! With a low scream, he pulled his feet and ran in the direction of the company. In a hurry that was very different from hers, the man who followed the man who came out of the subway station behind him walked in the same direction with regular steps. “poppy! Poppy ...... "just came to the company, and before he could sit down in his seat, he didn't have time to catch his breath, and a series of calls came from behind. "Sakurako, is there something wrong?" Walking quickly from the subway station all the way to the company, Lu Xia's beautiful face was a little ruddy, but his breath was steady, and the corner of his mouth asked with a smile on the corner of his mouth that he entered the company at the same time and had a cheerful and generous personality - Duanmu Sakurako. "Poppy, how can you still be so calm?" Already in front of her, Duanmu Sakurako looked at her and looked the same as usual, and couldn't help but ask in surprise. "What's wrong? Is there something that should scare me? "Teasing and asking, Lu Xia doesn't understand what Sakurako is making a fuss about?" Feed! Feeling that she was suspected of being teased, Duanki Sakurako rolled her eyes in protest, and then shouted uncontrollably, "Poppy, haven't you heard?" "What did you hear?" "What should I know?" When he was protested, he immediately pretended to be very interested and asked shamelessly. "Oops! You really don't know? "I'm really surprised." You're too ill-informed, aren't you? "I'm waiting for you, a well-informed person, to tell me!" While sorting out the materials on the table, you can answer the call with a smile and not waste time at all. Sure that she was really being teased again, Duanmu Sakurako couldn't help but stare at people, but she couldn't help but want to find someone to share the gossip. Immediately decided to forgive her, wah-la-wah said excitedly: "poppy, it's our company that was acquired, remember?" "Of course!" Glancing at Sakura, Lu Xia was puzzled. "What's wrong?" It's been three months since the company was acquired, and the after-dinner topic is still on it these days...... Alas! Speaking of the company's acquisition, she and Sakurako don't know whether to say lucky or unlucky? Half a year ago, this large company with good credit and decades of operation recruited newcomers, and she and Sakurako were recruited at the same time. I thought I would have a stable job from now on, but within three months, there was shocking news from the top management - the company was bought and the boss changed hands. At that time, this bomb not only blew up the internal employees, but even the shopping mall in X City was shaken to the ground, causing a big shock, and the news media also continued to report this sensational news. As for why this acquisition case will attract attention, just because XX Technology has been operating in the mall for more than 30 years, although it is not the largest technology company in the city, it is not in the forefront, at least there are top ten, and it has always been profitable, and it has no sign of being acquired. However, it was still acquired - but what really caused a big wave and shocked the shopping malls in X City was that the object of the acquisition was actually a large European consortium - the Lisan Consortium. Lizi Consortium, a super consortium that ranks among the top 10 in the world, especially after the change of young new president in recent years, has expanded its corporate territory at an astonishing speed - originally only operated in Europe and the United States, but now, it has quietly acquired XX Technology and officially stepped into Asia. In the shopping mall, as long as it is a shrewd businessman, it is very sensitive, and any little wind and grass will attract attention, not to mention such a major event as a big consortium entering the shopping mall in X City, of course, it will be shocking and sensational, especially ...... It's so weird. Why weird? In good conscience, as far as the Asian economic circle is concerned, the first country that the Lishi consortium wants to enter should also be a country whose national income and consumption power are not inferior to those of Europe and the United States, and Japan is the first to bear the brunt. Otherwise, it is time to choose India, which has taken off economically in recent years, has a huge consumer population of more than one billion, and attracts companies from all over the world to invest like moths to a fire. However, it abandoned these two places and chose the small island of X City as the starting point for its journey into Asia, which is really ...... Puzzled.
