When Julia heard the news, she was so frightened that her soul fell, and she figured out why Brother Nine had become so strange and strange during this time. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Andre was much calmer than her, and after receiving a call from the tenth elder brother, he immediately flew to the ninth elder brother's house and talked to the ninth elder brother alone.

Under Andre's extremely patient questioning, Brother Jiu finally admitted the fact that he was using illegal drugs.

When the truth was revealed, Brother Jiu felt a sense of relief from the bottom of his heart that he had never felt before.

It was the ease of breaking a jar and breaking it.

Andre asked him to quit and never touch these illegal drugs again, but Brother Jiu refused, he told Andre that if he lost these drugs, he would have to return to the terrible situation where he couldn't sleep for a week before, so it was better to let him die.

"Quit it, we must have another way!" Andrei said firmly, "Even if you quit your job and recuperate for a year and a half, it's much better than being controlled by drugs and eventually dying of complications!" ”

Hearing the three words of complications, Brother Jiu lost his mind for some reason.

He raised his head and looked out from the window on the seventh floor of his house, it was dusk, the bleak sunset was crimson, and the sky was like a wound cut by someone, smearing a large pool of blood.

"Anyway, sooner or later it's a death, it's better to die more comfortably." He finally said.

These words made Andre's ever-bright eyes instantly dim.

He suddenly whispered, "What would Sjepan think if he saw you like this?" He would rather commit suicide than bring the disaster to you, the Ninth Master, but you regard your life as a mustard, are you worthy of him? ”

Andre's words hit Brother Jiu's heart hard.

Eventually, he agreed to quit his drug addiction.

To quit addiction, you need to enter a specialized institution, and this matter is arranged by Andre from beginning to end. The drug abuse of Brother Nine was not exposed, and Andre blocked the spread of the news from all sides, and as an independent director, he asked for leave from the company's board of directors on behalf of Brother Jiu, citing illness - he even issued a medical record that was forged by Julia.

However, rumors are still spreading faintly, because Brother Jiu's symptoms are too obvious, in fact, many people have long suspected that he may have been exposed to illegal drugs.

The board of directors learned of the news and had to hold an emergency meeting to question whether Jiu Ah Ge could continue to serve as president, and once the news spread, the company's reputation would be devastated.

Andre was very anxious, he knew in his heart that if Brother Jiu, who was already at a low ebb, was ruled by the board of directors to be "incompetent for his duties" and thus dismissed during his tenure, he would probably not be able to withstand such a blow and become even more self-defeating.

In desperation, Andre had to run around the board of directors, asking for the support of the directors, and he persuaded the relevant people again and again, asking them to trust Brother Jiu again, in his opinion, it would be a pity for such an excellent manager to ruin his career from now on.

In the end, this matter was suppressed by several diehards of Brother Jiu, working together to suppress it. For the sake of their own interests, everyone has to do their best to keep secrets. Fortunately, Brother Jiu returned to the company half a year later, in normal condition, and handed over the physical examination report with a negative drug test, and the board of directors gave up the pursuit of his personal problems.

This turmoil was strictly guarded, and Julia sternly told the tenth elder brother that even if he returned to the Qing Dynasty in the future, he would never mention this matter to the fourth elder brother and the eighth elder brother, especially Yinzhen's deep hatred of drugs and the like, if he knew about it, I am afraid that he would look at his younger brother in a different light. She didn't want Brother Jiu to live in the shadow of this matter for the rest of her life. Therefore, until now, Yinzhen and the others did not know that such a big thing had happened to Brother Jiu.

However, Brother Jiu took the initiative to confess this matter to Sjiepan, and he didn't know why, but he just felt that tonight, he didn't want to hide it in front of Sjiepan.

As he spoke, Sjepan listened silently, without interrupting or interjecting. At the end, he asked, "Is it difficult?" ”

In those six months, it was difficult for Brother Jiu to describe to Sjepan, the difficulty of the process, the intense torture of withdrawal reaction, on the one hand, on the other hand, his heart was also broken to the extreme, and he was unable to continue his previous life under the accumulation. During that time, he looked like a cripple, thin and weak, shaking when he walked, and from time to time he had nosebleeds or vomited. In the struggle of withdrawal reaction, Brother Jiu scratched himself to the point that he was covered in blood, and another time, I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, he broke his leg......

This abnormal situation of the ninth elder brother was soon discovered by Andre, and in order to save him, Andre had to keep entering the institution and talking to him.

In those more than a dozen meetings, Brother Nine and Andre talked deeply, and he told Andre all the thoughts that he usually hid, and those thoughts didn't even know to Brother Ten and Julia. He said he couldn't hold on anymore, and every day, he would wake up alone on the eve of a very dark dawn, and then his mind would automatically start thinking: why live.

Brother Jiu couldn't find a reason to live, it was too painful for him to live, there was nothing worth holding on to ahead, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't see hope, day after day, he was like an ascetic, mechanically repeating yesterday's life, not feeling any meaning, but he couldn't figure out why his legs continued to move forward.

In fact, he was almost planning to commit suicide at that time.

Andre just listened carefully, he didn't comfort Brother Jiu with pale words, in the end, he just said that if Brother Jiu decided to commit suicide, then the board of directors could be under overwhelming pressure as a result.

In the past ten years, the company has relied on the scientific research strength of the research institute, coupled with the outstanding business talents of the nine brothers, and has developed rapidly, especially in cosmetics and nutritional medicine, which has sprung up and has always attracted the attention of the industry for many years. However, within the board of directors of the company, in fact, it is a small group that is not united, each with its own calculations, and the reason why it has developed harmoniously to this day is because the members are subordinated to the personal charm of Brother Jiu, and the company's performance is so good during his tenure.

It is conceivable that once he steps down due to an accident, the board of directors will definitely fall apart in serious infighting. This is also why the majority of the board of directors finally decided not to pursue Brother Jiu's personal problems.

Brother Nine looked at Andre with a smile and a cry: "You mean, for the sake of the board of directors, I can't die?" ”

Andre didn't smile, he blinked his gray-blue eyes and looked at him calmly: "Do you know the ninth master?" Sometimes, it's these ridiculous things that hold me back that I can live to this point. ”

That day, Andre's words gave Brother Jiu a lot of inspiration for some reason.

He never thought that in fact, Andre himself had suffered no less than his blows. Although Andrei hardly mentions his past to them.

Later, Brother Jiu gave up the idea of committing suicide for a simple reason: the board needed him.

Although the board of directors hesitated at his most critical moment, it did not give up on him in the end, so he should not give up the company where he had lived for many years so easily.

Brother Jiu lived to be almost forty years old, and he never thought that one day he would live for such a strange thing as the "board of directors".

However, Andre is right, they still have hope, in the future, it is possible to open the way back to the Qing Dynasty, and it is also possible to see the fourth elder brother and the eighth elder brother again, he has to make full preparations for the return of his brothers, and the best preparation is to develop the company better, so that they can have a stable place to settle down after they come.

"So, you're ready for Banzai?" Sjepan asked suddenly.

Brother Jiu nodded: "Director of the Group Office." As long as my fourth brother leaves the Qing Dynasty, he can join the company at any time. And then, Sjepan, there's no place for you here. ”

Sjepan listened silently, and in the darkness, his expression did not change in the slightest.

After a while, he suddenly asked a very strange question: "What about you?" Did you really quit? ”

Brother Jiu was stunned: "If I don't quit, can I come out of there?" People won't let me go. Do you have to see the medical report with your own eyes to believe it? ”

"No, I didn't mean that." Sjepan simply sat up, he stared at Brother Jiu, "I mean, are you really addicted?" If you encounter another heavy blow in the future, you really won't fall into it again? ”

He asked so sharply that he didn't cover it up, and Brother Jiu was speechless for a while.

"I don't think you've really quit." Sjepan stared into his eyes, "There's still a hole in your heart, but it's hidden for now. ”

Brother Jiu lowered his head, he didn't know how to answer such a reproach, and after a long time, he said in a dumb voice: "Maybe you're right." I can't guarantee that I won't have to fall like this again in my future life. But what can I do? Just because you're afraid of something bad that might happen, don't you move forward? ”

When he said this, he tried to smile again: "I know you don't trust me, but you see, I've been on my own for so long, and as you say, I'm not young either, and the rest of my life isn't that long. All I have to do next is to keep going, and keep going, until the day I die. ”

When Brother Jiu said this, Sjepan didn't refute it, and for some reason, his face looked very sad.

They didn't talk much that night, because they were too tired, and when it was almost dawn, Brother Jiu finally fell asleep. Before falling into a deep sleep, he vaguely thought that Xiao Wei in the room could hear his conversation with Schipan clearly tonight, but Schipan didn't mean to stop him at all, as if he trusted him completely.

It seems that this kid is really not simple.

…… was sleeping deeply, Brother Jiu suddenly heard Yinxiang's shouting in his ears, he suddenly opened his eyes, only to find that the sky outside the window was bright.

He hurriedly rolled over and sat up: "What's wrong?" ”

Yinxiang rushed into the house sweating profusely: "Brother Jiu! Look at this! ”

What he handed over was a piece of paper, and Brother Jiu grabbed it, only to see that on the paper was a letter written with a pen: "To Mr. Ai Xinjue Luo Yinyu......"

To, Mr. Aixin Jueluo Yinyu:

Your sons and nephews are in my hands right now. Don't worry about their safety, but don't bother looking for them.

I have some things that I want to answer to in you, and I have been waiting for this opportunity for many years, hoping that you will keep your promise, although now it seems that you have broken your promise.

We will contact you again in the future, so please be prepared. (To be continued.) )
