2. Chapter I
1.
Chen Yu stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, outside, a few rays of rain were blowing obliquely from the sky, and if you looked closely, there were still a little snowflakes in the rain. It didn't take long for the snow to become more noticeable one by one, flying all over the world.
The house was fully heated, and Chen Yu didn't feel cold in a thin sweater.
He sipped a cigarette and couldn't help but wonder, how was the last time it snowed a long time ago?
Ah, it's been ten years.
What was he doing on the day it snowed ten years ago? He felt like he had done something that day, but for a moment all his memories were blurry. Time passes, too many things are crowded with memories, and many things and many people seem to be unable to spell out their proper shape clearly.
"Knock knock", the office door suddenly rang twice, and then a female voice sounded against the door: "Mr. Chen." β
Chen Yu shook his head, and then he turned around and stood against the window: "Come in." β
A tall and beautiful secretary walked in, holding a stack of documents in his hand. Seeing the cigarette on Chen Yu's lips, the secretary's eyes showed a hint of surprise.
"Here's what you want and what you need."
"Leave it on." Chen Yu squinted his eyes slightly and nodded, not meaning to look through it immediately.
"Didn't you quit smoking?" The secretary cautiously said, "You said it's not good for the lungs." β
"Huh." Chen Yu smiled and did not answer.
yes, he said it. He also said that in order to live for a few more years, he could stay with the person he loved for a few more years, so he quit, and he had to quit smoking for Huang Xiaoluo.
Quart, abstain from fucking fart! When he catches Huang Xiaoluo's mongrel, he won't kill his whole family, he won't be surnamed Chen!
How long has it been since he said that? It's only two or three years. All of a sudden, things change, as if things are real and only need to blink an eye.
Xiangcheng Group, the Xiangcheng Group left to him by his father, the economic empire that the Chen family worked so hard to run is about to come to an end. With such a big family property in his hands, he might as well jump from the twenty-ninth floor like the old guy who went bankrupt and jumped off the building in the news!
"Someone from the Appraisal Association is coming over tomorrow." The secretary reminded in a whisper that recently, she has always been thinking about how to speak so as not to touch a certain chord of Chen Yu.
"Hmm." Chen Yu held the cigarette in his right hand, removed it from his lips, and then spat out a wisp of green smoke.
He was originally handsome, and there was a little evil in his eyes, but it didn't make people feel bad, but it was so just right to hook people, plus he was the heir of Xiangcheng, handsome and golden, which made many people envious. But at this moment, the former glow turned into loneliness and depression in the smoke, and the people who watched it also felt heartache.
Asset appraisal, appraisal, and lengthy procedures come to the end, and the fate is bankruptcy or annexation. It's like a woman who has to sell outside, obviously she doesn't want to do such a thing, but she can't help herself, she can't help herself, she is dissected from the outside to the inside, she is looked down on, she is disliked by others, and finally she becomes a commodity, and she has to endure countless humiliations and ridicule.
"And tomorrow morning'sβ"
"I won't go tomorrow, you let Uncle Xia and them do it, you can do whatever you want." He didn't want to, he didn't want to watch this first step out for himself. He can't stand it, he really can't!
Chen Yu stayed in the office until night fell outside and the snow was blowing, adding a strong atmosphere of the New Year to the neon-lit bustling night.
This world is still so gorgeous and wonderful, but the joy and festivity are isolated from a glass and have nothing to do with Chen Yu.
A cigarette butt was stuffed into a glass bottle of stars that was originally decorated, and Chen Yu sat on a chair with his slender legs resting on the desk. He smoked like this, thinking about many, many things in his head, and in the end, he didn't come up with anything.
The people outside were all about the same, and the lights were gradually extinguished, and the secretary knocked on the door and came in, asking him if he wanted to go home early.
Chen Yu looked at the alarm clock on the wall, only to find that it was almost ten o'clock.
"You go home first, I'll pack up and leave."
"Then I'll get off work first, Mr. Chen, don't stay too late, it's going to be cold outside when it snows today, remember to wear your scarf." The secretary prompted carefully. Chen Yu has several scarves in his office, but he always remembers to wear them but forgets to wear them. It's so cold at night, even if you get in the car when you leave the office, it's better to protect your neck than not to protect it.
Chen Yu's cold and messy heart suddenly rose with a trace of warmth because of these words.
This secretary was there when his father was still there, longer than he had been in Xiangcheng, maybe because he was so useless, he would eventually cause her to lose her job. "I remember, you should go home and accompany your husband and son." Chen Yu waved his hand, and a ruffian smile appeared on his lips: "I won't let you go later." β
"What are you talking about," the secretary sighed with a smile, "Don't stay too long, go home early." β
She said goodbye and closed the door for Chen Yu.
Ten minutes later, the last light in the office on this floor went out.
Chen Yu stepped into the elevator, and he remembered to wear a scarf. That scarf was the only one he had bought himself, not Huang Xiaoluo's for himβalthough it was all his money.
The elevator slowly descended, and soon reached the bottom. After picking up the car, turning the steering wheel, and slowly leaving the underground parking garage, the snow outside has not yet accumulated significantly, and the light of the headlights shines on countless flying small things, and after a night, the city will be very different tomorrow.
Despite the cold winter night, the city center is still full of traffic. drove towards the way home for a while, and at the next elevated road, Chen Yu's car suddenly changed lanes.
He didn't want to go back.
What is he going to do when he goes back?
Do you fall asleep upside down?
It will be a sleepless night, even if he hasn't tried it yet, but Chen Dashao already knows the result.
Go back to that deserted place, go back to the place where he wants to break the other party's body into pieces when he thinks of Huang Xiaoluo, he might as well sleep in a hotel.
But now Chen Yu doesn't want to sleep.
After ten o'clock in the evening, Red Lotus Bar.
Chen Yu sat in the corner, he ordered a wine, one or two kinds of three or four wines.
He just wanted to have a drink, even if he was drunk than sober. I don't know how much.
The wine is not so strong, but it is not mild, and if you change it one after another, Chen Yu's face will be a little burned after a few glasses.
"You're not very good at drinking." A warm male voice came from overhead, Chen Yu looked up at each other, smiled and didn't speak.
"Chen Shao, borrowing wine to drown your sorrows is even more sorrowful, drinking alcohol alone will not make people happier."
"Then you can have two drinks with me." Chen Yu pointed to the sofa and motioned for the other party to sit down: "Or still don't even you?" β
The curly-haired man smiled, turned around and snapped his fingers lightly, "Bring the cup." The man said to the nearby waiter.
The man sat down and sat next to Chen Yu, in the past he rarely saw Chen Yu drinking alone, this person was always surrounded by countless people, he was always surrounded by the center of the crowd, he was an old customer of Red Lotus, sometimes he would charter the venue, sometimes when he was in high spirits, he would give a bottle of expensive wine to each table, even the tip of the reward, when he was happy, he gave it one by one. Spending a lot of money, drunk and gold-obsessed, it's always lively when he's there.
But now, recently, at this moment, this person seems to refuse to be lively anymore. He was alone, he was lonely, he was drunk, and his whole body had lost its usual freshness.
Maybe he will no longer be the same Chen Shao as he was at the beginning.
They drank for a while, and Chen Yu took one cup after another, not listening to dissuasion at all.
Finally, the world was spinning in front of his eyes.
"Lu Heyuan, I'm a loser." He said. At this time, he no longer knew what he was thinking or saying. It's just that the arrogant and arrogant Chen Yu finally became weak, he was like a poor dog, his fangs had been pulled out, and he was weak, and anyone could bully him a few times.
"Don't say that, you're not a loser." Lu Heyuan stretched out his hand and took away the cup in Chen Yu's hand: "Don't drink it, I'll call Huang Xiaoluo to pick you up, right?" β
Chen Yu couldn't be wrong. What a pathetic man. Lu He Yuan thought regretfully.
Lu Heyuan didn't mention Huang Xiaoluo's.
Really, he just drank, wanted to forget his troubles, wanted to get drunk and didn't care about anything. However, this name ignited the most angry anger in Chen Yu's chest at once.
"Don't mention him!!"
The roar was heard everywhere in the hall, and at last it detoured to their corner, and the angry young man's hands and feet were shaking from alcohol and rage. At this moment, he couldn't control himself, and he had lost even the strength to stand up, otherwise he would have lifted a pile of good wine on the table.
"Okay, don't mention it." Lu Heyuan pressed Chen Yu's shoulder: "But I still have to find someone to send you back." β
Chen Yu closed his eyes and shook his head: "No need." β
He said, "Give me back the cup." "He's already drunk, but he's going to get even drunker, he needs to be even drunker, otherwise how will he get through, this snowy night, the snowy day he hates the most!
Lu Heyuan looked at Chen Yu, the man scooped up the cup from him in a daze, moved his hands in an orderly manner, and shouted in his mouth: "Don't care about me, give me, the cup, the wine, ......" but he didn't catch anything.
Lu He Yuan turned his head and looked in the other direction of the lobby.
There was a thick decorative crystal pillar, and behind the crystal pillar, there was a table.
At this time, the person who had been sitting on the sofa at the table slowly stood up.
