At noon in early September 2014, the sky over SZ City was gloomy, and the wind blew bean-sized rain and knocked on the transparent window glass of the Black Cat Coffee Shop.

A fat middle-aged man sat alone in an inconspicuous corner, his dry eyes anxiously looking out the window at the bad weather, and from time to time he glanced at the Swiss watch in his hand, as if he was waiting for someone.

A blue taxi broke through the pouring rain and stopped in front of the coffee shop, and a young man with a thief's eyebrow came out of it, looking around, and saw the fat man shouting at him, "I'm here." After the gesture, he walked straight over.

"Did you bring all the information about Liu Xing?" The obese man beckoned the waiter for two cups of coffee and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Brought, where's the money? You ready? The young man shook the rain on his head, looked around, saw that no one was paying attention to him, and then sat down cautiously, put the black satchel under his armpit on the table, took out a stack of materials and shook it proudly in front of the fat man: "All Liu Xing's secrets are here, pay the money with one hand!" First-hand delivery! ”

"Humph!" The fat man sneered, took out a bulging white envelope from the inner pocket of his suit on his chest and threw it on the table: "I hope the information you gave me is satisfactory to me!" ”

"That's nature." The mouse-eyed young man smiled obscenely, and did not take the envelope on the table, but picked up the information in his hand with interest and read it softly: "Liu Xing, with a Chinese face, is one meter eighty-three tall and weighs seventy kilograms. He has a bold personality and a smart mind. Do things capably and calmly, a bit like to drill the horns. After graduating from QH University in 2010, he worked in Xiangrui International in less than two years from a staff member to the current supervisor.

"Wait!" The fat man interrupted him impatiently, and said in a low voice: "I know all this, but what I want you to check is not these basic information." ”

"I know, you want a stain on Liu Xing's previous life." The mouse-eyed young man took out a hospital medical record from his personal pocket, raised his eyebrows and handed it to the obese man: "I used all my connections to investigate for three days, and you want to say that I haven't found the stain on Liu Xing's life for the time being." However, the case that I have just come out of my hand may be able to help you. ”

"Cases?"

The obese man eagerly opened the case report in his hand, and when he stared wide-eyed and saw the diagnosis written by the doctor to Liu Xing, he laughed proudly: "I said that Liu Xing, this kid, has been coughing all the time recently, and he is a little out of breath, it turns out that he has tuberculosis." Hahaha Lao Tzu has this medical record book, and the position of director belongs to me! Liu Xing! Tomorrow, I will tell him to go back to his hometown and sell sweet potatoes! ”

He is

The rat-eyed man was stunned.

Then he grinned, revealing very yellow buckteeth: "It turns out that you paid a lot of money for me to investigate Liu Xing because he was competing with you for the throne of director, hehe said it earlier!" ”

He got up and picked up the money bag on the table, and after looking at it for a while, he leaned over to the fat man's ear, and whispered mysteriously: "For the sake of money, I'm giving you a Liu Xing's biggest secret, you listen, Liu Xing's current biological parents are not his biological parents, but"

"What?" The fat man's eyes widened

18th floor of Xiangrui International Building.

Dressed in white dust-proof suits, Liu Xing and several colleagues are meticulously dispensing several bottles of metallic mixtures of different colors in a separately sealed research room. Don't underestimate this kind of metal mixed liquid codenamed 'Golden Armor', if the debugging and research is successful, it is conservatively estimated that it will trigger an industrial revolution.

Outside the door.

Elaine, the clerk holding Wen Jiàn, broke through the door, and the pretty face of the light powder Dai looked anxious.

Liu Xing looked back at her anxious appearance a little strangely, usually Elaine is not an anxious person! A puzzled frown asked, "Elaine! Didn't I say don't break in if there's nothing important? The metal liquids we studied evaporate quickly, and it won't be good for you to absorb too much metal dust. ”

"Not so, Boss!" Elaine hurriedly waved her hand and pushed her gold-rimmed glasses: "The general manager told you to come over immediately, she has something important to announce." ”

"The general manager called me?" Liu Xing, who was a little puzzled, glanced at a few busy colleagues, and then said to Elaine: "I know, you go out first!" ”

Elaine nodded, and when she walked out and closed the door, she glanced at Liu Xing wistfully, her eyes like autumn water had deep concern.

Depends

She knew what the general manager was going to announce.

in the research room.

"Big brother! Did you say that the general manager announced something that made you a director? A male colleague with acne on his face said to Liu Xing with a smile.

"Zhou Ziqiang, don't talk nonsense." Liu Xing took off his mask with a smile, revealing his snow-white and neat teeth, and his dark and thick eyebrows went up: "Although the chairman promised me that I would be the director before going to the United States, who knows how things will change, and you don't know that this general manager of the dominatrix and we don't want to see each other." You guys take a break, I'll go out and come back." ”

"Okay." Zhou Ziqiang took off his mask and smiled wryly, and watched Liu Xing walk out.

For the director of Xiangrui International, the new generation of directors, Liu Xing, the eldest brother in his mouth, admires him from the bottom of his heart, not to mention being righteous and bold, and his mind is even more unusually smart.

Let's take the 'Golden Armor' R&D project in their hands as an example, in fact, they had accidentally developed samples as early as three days ago. They were just afraid that the promise of the chairman of the two-faced and double-edged knife would not be fulfilled, so they delayed until the day of announcing the director to announce the success of the 'Golden Armor' R&D project.

Of course, as Liu Xing's brother, Zhou Ziqiang is also good for keeping this shocking secret, that is, to take over Liu Xing's position as the supervisor.

Liu Xing knocked on the door of the general manager's room.

"Come in, the door is not closed." A deep middle-aged female voice rang out.

Liu Xing pushed the door and walked in, and when he looked up, he was surprised to find that in addition to the clerk Elaine, there were also fat business supervisor Ding Fa and his fellow countryman Wang Peng also standing inside.

The atmosphere in the house

There is a hint of intrigue.

Liu Xing touched his nose and smiled, he knew that this Ding Fa and Wang Peng's personality would definitely hit him in front of the general manager if they appeared together.

However, he is not afraid of shadows, so he is not afraid of these villains who have nothing to do.

"Liu Xing." Peng Xinghua, the general manager sitting on the black leather chair, raised the face of the winter melon covered with foundation, and said with a gloomy face: "You will put the research and development work in your hands to Ding Fa for management, and the advertising planning department under your jurisdiction will also be handed over to Ding Fa." ”

"All to Ding Fa?"

Is it?

Liu Xing's heart was shocked, and an ominous premonition came to his heart.

He took a deep breath to calm himself, and after glancing at the somewhat smug Ding Hair with sharp and deep eyes, he tried his best to lower his excited voice and asked, "Can you tell me why?" Managing director! ”

"Why?" Peng Xinghua's ugly winter melon face seemed to be covered with a layer of winter melon cream, and her sausage mouth rose slightly, "Hmph! He sneered and didn't speak, threw a medical record book from the hospital in front of Liu Xing, and after the medical record book landed, he squeezed out a cold sentence: "See for yourself!" This is your physical examination report in the hospital three days ago, such a big thing is hidden from me, what are your intentions? ”

This is

Liu Xing bent down silently and picked up the medical record book that fell on the ground, he had a question in his heart, he went to the hospital for a physical examination last week, this matter was only known to Wang Peng and his girlfriend Zhang Xiaoli, who had just broken up, how did the medical record book get into the hands of the general manager first?

Don't

Liu Xing's sharp eyes swept over Wang Peng, who was a thief with rat eyes, and Wang Peng shrank violently in fright, and the rat eyes hurriedly turned his head to look to the side and didn't dare to look directly at Liu Xing.

"Humph! He's this"

Wang Peng's action Liu Xing saw it in his eyes and hated it in his heart, needless to say, the matter of the physical examination was said by Wang Peng. It's just that what kind of serious illness did he have, so that Peng Xinghua, who had always taken a fancy to him, put him into the cold palace?

Suspicious asked.

Liu Xing opened the medical record book, and when the word tuberculosis appeared in his clear eyes, he only felt that the world was spinning, and he almost fell down in front of him. He now finally understands why his girlfriend Zhang Xiaoli broke up with him without warning, it turns out that she has long known to Wang Peng that he has tuberculosis.

"Huh"

Liu Xing shook his head and smiled bitterly, finally knowing the true meaning of Lu Yao's horsepower and seeing people's hearts for a long time. Taking a deep breath, he finally stood firm, and just wanted to question Peng Xinghua's decision, when the chairman knew it, the phone in his trouser pocket rang.

He didn't want to answer, but the ringtone of "Homesick" made Liu Xing know that it was a call from his mother Zhu Ling. Under normal circumstances, mothers do not call when they are at work, unless there is an urgent matter.

Liu Xing pressed the answer button.

"Mom, what's wrong?" He tried to speak in a voice full of anger, not wanting his mother, who was far away from home, to hear his current feeling of loss and depression.

"Xing'er." On the other end of the phone, Zhu Ling's sad cry came: "Your grandfather passed away yesterday by your aunt, you hurry back for a trip, you need to be present about the inheritance." ”

"What" Liu Xing's whole body trembled when he heard this, his head buzzed, and he muttered back for a long time: "Mom, I know, I'm going to ask for leave, rush back, hang up Mom, I'm still working." ”

Liu Xing grew up with his grandfather since he was a child, and his relationship was not ordinarily good.

In Liu Xing's mind, grandpa is the sky.

This sudden bad news seemed to be like encountering the collapse of the sky, which made Liu Xing's mind blank.

"Hahaha" Ding Fa listened to it about the side, and sneered gloatingly: "Liu Xing, you are really in trouble!" The old man is dead, hurry back and hang your filial piety, the company has me. ”

"Shut up!" Liu Xing glared at Ding Fa fiercely, and his fist clenched "popped", and he really wanted to rush up and beat Ding Fa.

But reason told him that violence is not the solution to the problem, he turned his head and sneered at Peng Xinghua, who was watching the play, and said loudly: "Manager, since you have talked about this, you also heard my mother's phone call just now, I think it will not be of much use for me to stay here, I understand the truth of the bird's bow, you give me a salary and let me go home!" ”

"No! Your illness is not well, how can I bear to let you resign and go back, you can only take sick leave to go back. Peng Xinghua's words falsely mean that before the R&D project is not successful, you Liu Xing will not have a door to quit his job.

Again

If she really fired Liu Xing, how could she explain to the chairman of the board of directors who was far away in the United States? The chairman of the board of directors is very respectful of Liu Xing.

"Hahaha" Liu Xingyang smiled sadly and angrily, looking at Peng Xinghua's sharp eyes were about to erupt fire, he naturally knew Peng Xinghua's selfish thoughts in his heart.

Didn't he just want him to say in person that he would hand over the elite team he had led for two years to Ding Fa?

Think beautifully!!

For the company's so-called 'Golden Armor' R&D project, he has never had a good day off in the past month, and he has to work overtime unconditionally until late.

The only explanation is that after staying in the research room for a long time, I have absorbed too much metal dust to cause this disease.

This kind of company

What's the point of staying any longer?

Liu Xing felt a kind of despair in his heart.

He leaned over and propped his hands on the desk, sneered at Peng Xinghua, who was a little afraid, and said loudly: "The company belongs to everyone, but the body is mine, you have no right to decide whether I go or stay, let alone decide everyone's wishes. It's okay if you don't let me quit my job, I'll take three months off to go home to recuperate! After speaking, regardless of whether the stunned Peng Xinghua disagreed, she walked out without looking back.

Crunch

Pushing open the glass door that went out, the scene in front of him surprised Liu Xing, who was in a hurry to go home.

I don't know when, the team of nearly 100 people under his management blocked the already small office, as if they knew that he was leaving, and looked at him silently, their worried eyes full of reluctance.

"You" looked at the familiar faces, Liu Xing swallowed the words in his mouth, his heart was warm, and he didn't know what to say.

Silence is better than sound at this point.

silent

Liu Xing choked.

At this time, Elaine suddenly ran to her colleagues lightly and said loudly: "Boss, if you leave, our backbone will be gone, and our 98 colleagues from Xiangrui International have unanimously decided to resign collectively and leave this ghost place!" ”

As soon as Elaine's words came out, there was a deafening "Resign!" behind her. Resign! Resign! The response was audible. Peng Xinghua, the general manager who saw this qiē inside the glass door, was suddenly frightened and bloodless. If Liu Xing's team really quit work, I'm afraid she would be the first to be laid off.

Liu Xing usually treats his colleagues with affection and righteousness, and he is bold, and his popularity and cohesion in Xiangrui International are not ordinarily good, and it is not surprising that there is such a scene of collective resignation.

Liu Xing suddenly felt sour when he heard this noisy words, and he got along with his colleagues day and night for three years, crying, arguing, laughing and even having trouble.

They have long formed an inseparable family with each other, just like brothers and sisters, and now they are gone, and the frustration and reluctance in their hearts occupy all his thoughts

But-

There is a banquet in the world, Liu Xing knows that his fate with Xiangrui International is over, and it is time to leave. Originally, he wanted to scold Elaine and tell her to take everyone back to work, but when he thought of Peng Xinghua and Ding Fa's treacherous villain faces, how could he be worthy of them if he didn't leave some mess for them to clean up?

There is also the 'Golden Armor' project.

Even if he has accidentally researched the sample, but the key thing is still a mystery, is it so easy for him Ding Fa and Peng Xinghua to pick up the ready-made fruits of labor?

"Hahaha"

Ding Fa! Wang Peng! Peng Xinghua! Who laughed and said not necessarily in the end!

we

See you in three months!

Liu Xing turned around and walked out in a dashing manner, ignoring the efforts of his colleagues behind him to keep him. After walking to the supervisor's desk alone to pack up his personal belongings, and explaining some key things to Zhou Ziqiang, he booked a train ticket in a hurry and rushed back to his hometown in Qingshi Village that night.
