Chapter 38, no one is missing (ask for a monthly pass!) ）

New York. Weems Castle.

Weems Castle was built by Duke Weems, who admired the most famous abstract painter Kandinsky throughout his life, so the exterior and interior decoration of the castle are as much as possible to express this style. From the outside, the whole castle looks more like a haunted house in Huaxia.

The two-meter-long solid wood table is surrounded by men and women in suits and leather shoes. Some of these people are still very young, and some are already wrinkled. They were Americans, Englishmen, French, Italians, Jews, and even Chinese, Oriental, or Korean, all of whom had different skins, but they all had one thing in common: majesty and self-confidence. Even when the most amiable old man sat at the head of the table, he could feel a sense of depression.

"The Asian market has completely collapsed, and the defeat is so severe that even DIDU will be taken by surprise. Can anyone give an explanation for this? Even if it's a small excuse. For God's sake, I think we, God's most faithful servants, will forgive him. What do you say? ”

The old man, who sat in the first place, bald in the front half of his head, but the second half was luxuriant, with a large nose peculiar to Americans, and liked to make all kinds of exaggerated gestures with his hands when he spoke, scanned the audience, breaking the silence of the hall, and although the words were humorous, only three people present dared to look him in the eye.

A thin but vigorous Italian nose took a sip of strong rum, looked at the American sitting across from him, and said, "Mr. Thomson has always been in charge of the Asian market, and I think he has the most say in this matter." ”

Everyone knows that the second-in-command Roderick and the third-in-command Thomson are fiercely competitive, the leader is old, and next year is the time to retire. =Novel Debut== And the new boss will be chosen from among the two of them, so. The two have been fighting since three years ago. The chief was glad to see such a situation, after all, it is more wonderful for the people below to fight than for the people below to join forces and fight with themselves. Such. Only then can his voice be brought into full play.

This time, there was such a mess in the Asian market managed by the third-in-command, and all the directors, screenwriters, and actresses who carried out the mission were in charge of the drama affairs of the intelligence, but fortunately, the regulations of the organization were strict. They were ready to die for the organization and the leader in advance. Otherwise, the consequences will be unimaginable.

But even so. It has also attracted the attention of the countries concerned. This is very much not in the interests of their organization.

With such a good opportunity, the second-in-command Roderick naturally will not let go of the opportunity to fall into the well. Moreover, if the third-in-command Thomson does not make a dazzling result in the shortest possible time, next year's battle for the leadership may be lost early.

Thomson was a short, fat man with thick-rimmed glasses. Chubby fingers wear a sapphire ring with a faint blue glow. For those with a discerning eye, this is the largest and most beautiful sapphire mined in Africa in 1937. Because it is mined in the Yamir mining area of Africa, it is called the Yamir Star.

It is said that the purity and beauty of this ring far surpass that of the Star of Africa, so it has attracted the coveting of countless gem merchants. It's just that the gem disappeared on the day it was mined, and it was now embedded in the ring and became a private collection.

Hearing that Roderick's spearhead was unabashedly pointed at him, Thomson frowned slightly, clasped his two fat hands together, and said, "I apologize to everyone here. []=Novel debut== I'm responsible for this. I didn't expect the director in charge of the Asian market to be so aggressive. Make things like this. This is completely in line with the viper jing god that we required when training him. He lacks the two most precious things, calm and waiting. Failure is inevitable. ”

"I suggested that he be transferred back, but he was denied." Roderick said with a deliberately straight face. One was very angry, very dissatisfied with his foresight being misunderstood, but his heart was happy.

Although he is the second-in-command, Thomson's Asian market performance has been very good in recent years, and he is a strong contender in next year's leadership election. I didn't expect such a change to occur at this time, and it seems that I am already a stable cāo victory.

Thomson glanced at Roderick and continued: "Yes, the Asian market has always been in charge of me, it is like my child, growing up under my care. And those who know their children are naturally the parents of their children. I originally thought that this director was qualified. Now, I apologize to you for my mistake. ”

"Despite this failure, the Asian market is still one of the most important markets for us. They are vast and rich, they love to fight, and they are easy to buy and do not fear the danger of exposure. After all, their oversight bodies are non-existent. We can even bribe the officials who oversee the system if we want to. ”

"The data shows that the Asian market was the largest contributor to the total benefits of the organization in the first three years. If it is abandoned, such a loss is unbearable for the organization. ”

"Of course." Roderick interjected very rudely. In his opinion, he no longer had to respect this guy who had brought shame on the organization. "I think Mr. Chen Jianzhou is more suitable for the position of head of the Asian market. Originally from China, he studied in the Toyo and held senior management positions at the Samsung Group in South Korea. If he can take on this role, perhaps the performance of the Asian market will quadruple. ”

Chen Jianzhou is Rhoderick's man, and he naturally wants to push his own people into this position. As he spoke, a man with gold-rimmed glasses and an ordinary-looking but delicate face gently gestured to his forehead.

Thomson laughed secretly, this Roderick is too anxious. Don't you know that this will only be a violation?

When the leader has not yet retired, how can he be willing to see that the heads of two regions are other people?

"Oh? Such? The old man sitting at the head thought for a moment and said, "That's not right. It is true that Mr. Chen Jianzhou could have gone to the Asian market to learn first, but suddenly there was such a heavy workload - of course, I don't doubt his ability. Mr. Chen Jianzhou is very good, and there are no mediocre talents in our organization. It's just that ability can't be equated with experience. ”

"The total collapse of the Asian market is tantamount to starting from scratch. Although Mr. Thomson has been in the past, he is still familiar with the Asian market. I think. It is not bad for him to organize the reconstruction of the Asian market to atone for his sins. ”

Thomson stood up with a respectful face and said gratefully to the chief, "Rest assured, chief. I understand the importance of the Asian market for organizations. This. I will personally rush to Huaxia to sit in the town and establish a channel covering important regions such as China, the East, and South Korea. ”

Thomson saw that Roderick wanted to speak against it, and hurriedly said: "Mr. Chen Jianzhou is a talent of the organization. Personally, I value it very much. If Mr. Chen Jianzhou would like to go to the Asian market to assist me in my work, I would personally welcome it. ”

"Good. So it was decided. The leader nodded.

Chen Hailiang was sitting in his office reading a newspaper. He heard a knock at the door and shouted, "Please come in." ”

Seeing that it was Ye Qiu who came in, Chen Hailiang said with a smile: "Yo, the sun came out in the west today?" Ye Qiu rarely took the initiative to come to my office. ”

Ye Qiu smiled implicitly and said, "Teacher Chen." I have something I want to talk to you about. ”

Chen Hailiang took out a cigarette from the desk drawer and lit one himself. Throwing the cigarette and the lighter to Ye Qiu, he said, "I know you have something to talk to me about." You won't come to me if it's okay. Have a seat. You're welcome. ”

Ye Qiu was really unkind, and after taking the cigarette and lighting one, he sat down on the chair opposite Chen Hailiang and said, "Teacher Chen, I want to drop out." ”

cough-cough-cough-

Chen Hailiang couldn't spit out the cigarette in his stomach, and he choked and coughed for a long time. With wide eyes, he looked Ye Qiu up and down, and said, "You can't be joking, right?" ”

"No kidding." Ye Qiu shook his head.

"Why?" Chen Hailiang asked in surprise. As far as he knew, it seemed that very few students who entered Mizuki University were willing to drop out. The name of this school is a golden signboard, and after graduation, I went out to find a job. *Employers will look up to you, too.

"Some private matters." Ye Qiu was reluctant to reveal.

Chen Hailiang took a puff of his cigarette. After pondering for a while, he said, "Ye Qiu." Personally, I am very optimistic about you. I don't want to see you drop out. However, since this is your choice, I can't object to it. I can only persuade you from the position of a friend, and ask you to think about it for a few more days. This is a major matter in life, and it cannot be so hasty. ”

"Also, it's not something that I, as a little instructor, can decide. A department leader will need to report to the school leader before a decision can be made on whether or not to withdraw you. “

"It's okay Teacher Chen, I'm not in a hurry. I've thought about it, and I'll bother you with this. Ye Qiu said.

"Good. Whether you are a student or not, come back and sit when you are free. We're still friends, aren't we? Chen Hailiang stood up and shook hands with Ye Qiu.

Ye Qiu was also a little reluctant, but he had no reason to stay in school.

There are two reasons why he entered Mizuki University to study, one is because he is Tang Guo's bodyguard and wants to enter the campus to protect him. However, before Ye Qiuban withdrew from school, Tang Guo had already applied for withdrawal and officially joined the Tang family. The control of a 20-year-old genius girl in a large conglomerate is a hot topic in the media these days.

Another reason is to solve the mystery of the Soul Eater Ring, but after looking for so long in the school, I haven't gotten any useful news. However, it was from Chen Huaien's teacher, Old Man Bu, who got remarkable results. Old Man Bu has been discharged from the hospital, and he will do his best to study and analyze Ye Qiudi's Soul Lust Ring. Seeing him full of energy, Ye Qiudi's heart was also full of expectations. I really want to see the mystery of the ring unraveled earlier, I don't know if I will give myself some surprises.

Lin Baoer was picked up by the Lin family that night at the Tianhe City Square case, and then never returned to Lan Sè's apartment.

In the early hours of this morning, Ye Qiu suddenly received a text message from Lin Baoer: Brother Ye Qiu, you said that if you can withstand all the hardships and pains, you can become a heroine, right?

"Yes." When Ye Qiu typed this word, he felt extremely pious in his heart.

"Can you become a soldier?" Lin Baoer sent another message and asked.

Soldier?

Ye Qiu was stunned, is this simple and lovely child also leaving?

"Yes." Ye Qiu replied again.

"That's good. I'm going to be a soldier. Brother Ye Qiu, take care. ”

Behind the message was a smiley face symbol, like Lin Bao'er laughing, but when Ye Qiu saw it, his eyes suddenly became a little moist.

Take care, Bao'er!

Ye Qiu got up from the bed, pushed open the window, and cast his eyes towards the cold pavilion where Lin Bao'er practiced kung fu every morning. It was as if the red shadow was still there, with a red face, big bright eyes, fine beads of sweat on his forehead, and his face was covered with dust, falling again and again, and then getting up again and again.

Bo'er, you're going to be a heroine.

No, to be a good female soldier.

When Ye Qiu drove back to Lan Sè's apartment, Shen Monong was taking a middle-aged woman to explain things in the courtyard.

Seeing Ye Qiu coming back, she came over and said, "She is Sister-in-law Li, the maid of the Guoguo family. used to wait for Uncle Tang, but now he is sent by Guoguo to take care of Lan Sè's apartment. ”

Ye Qiu nodded, and when he saw the somewhat deserted blue apartment, he felt a little depressed for no reason, and asked, "When are you leaving?" Tang Guo and Lin Bao'er left one after another, and Shen Monong had no need to stay. She is going to hand over the business of Huaxia Kingdom and return to Suzhou and Hangzhou to control the Shen family. She couldn't let go of another opportunity for Ye Qiu to take off.

"Tomorrow." Shen Monong said. glanced at Ye Qiu and sighed softly: "I'll stay with you for another night." ”

"Okay." Ye Qiu smiled and nodded.

"Have you really decided?" Shen Monong looked intently at Ye Qiu's somewhat haggard face in the past two days, and asked distressedly.

"Hmm. It's decided. Ye Qiu said. I have already completed the withdrawal procedure today. ”

"Ye Qiu, Guoguo will be handed over to you. You have to take good care of her. ”

"I will." Ye Qiu nodded again, very serious.

Shen Monong glanced at Lan Sè's apartment, there was only one of the three sports cars parked side by side in the yard all along, and there was no Tang Guo's laughter and Lin Bao'er's frolicking in the house, and the windows in the living room were still wiped clean, but Shen Monong always felt that Yan Sè had dimmed.

As soon as my heart was sour, I couldn't help but cry. In a panic, he went to his pocket to take out a tissue to wipe his face, but was hugged into his arms by Ye Qiu.

Shen Monong finally cried like a fragile little woman and asked, "Ye Qiu, you say, will Guoguo and Bao'er come back?" Will we be able to stay in the Blue Sè apartment as we used to? ”

"Yes. Definitely. You, me, Guoguo, and Bao'er. No one is missing. Ye Qiu said firmly, hugging tightly and crying like a tearful man.

No one is missing. Ye Qiu said again in his heart.
