-- Four years later --

At the end of spring, when it was warm and cold, after a rain last night, the air was cool.

There were people coming and going in the airport hall, and with the crowd swarming out, Su Nian stopped without reaching the door, and not far away, Qiao Ye shouted excitedly, pulling Meng Yiping to this side.

"Sister Su, you're back, we've been waiting for more than an hour!"

Qiao Ye was very excited when he saw her, looking her up and down.

The hair was cut short, the person was a little rounder than before, and the complexion looked much better, the sparkle in the eyes was looking forward to the life, Su Nian pursed his lips and smiled, "I will delay the plane when I transfer the plane, and tell you not to come." ”

Meng Yiping glanced at Qiao Ye a little helplessly, "It's Qiao Ye who doesn't want to come." ”

Qiao Ye pouted and glanced at Meng Yiping with disgust, "Sister Su and I haven't seen each other for many years, isn't this anxious?" I'm not as rich as Mr. Yu, and I can fly to the United States from time to time to see Sister Su and Mianmian...... By the way, Sister Su, speaking of Mianmian, how is the little girl? Why didn't you bring it here? ”

Su Nian smiled, "Mianmian is very good, there are people to take care of over there, I am not sure how long I will stay in Jincheng, maybe I will have to leave soon, so don't let the child follow me." ”

Qiao Ye nodded, looking quite disappointed, "But I really want to see the baby." ”

"Pick up Skype to show you at night."

Meng Yiping hurriedly took the luggage in Su Nian's hand, and the three of them went to the parking lot.

The car was driving on the highway, Su Nian and Qiao Ye were sitting in the back seat chatting, Su Nian looked at Qiao Ye wearing an OL style white shirt and trousers, "You are really an officedy now." ”

Qiao Ye sighed, "Alas, isn't this all forced? ”

Su Nian's expression was a little stunned. "It's all because I ......"

Qiao Ye smiled, "Where is it, even if it's because of you, it's because you're blessed, think about it, I used to be a lobby manager at the Blue Castle Hotel, and in the final analysis, I was still a waiter, if it wasn't for Mr. Ye's madness at that time, forcing me to have nowhere to go, you let Mr. Yu take me in, I wouldn't have the opportunity to work as an assistant in Hengyi Finance, do you think I am now, don't I look like a white-collar worker?" ”

Su Nian couldn't help but laugh and responded. "Well, like."

Qiao Ye was a little emotional as soon as he recalled, "But I also caused trouble to Mr. Yu when I went to Hengyi Finance, Mr. Ye couldn't get along with Mr. Yu, but he tossed our branch, and after adding me, it became even worse." ”

Su Nian was silent for a few seconds, "That's why I came back for this matter." ”

Qiao Ye was stunned.

"Ye Shucheng and I have some limits, it's been four years, and I'm still staring at Hengyi Financial Jincheng Branch, what does it mean? Do you want to be unable to get along with Hengyi Finance for the rest of your life? ”

Su Nian frowned, his expression was a little irritable, "There was no plan to get involved in the financial industry in recent years, and suddenly it was enough to make such a big investment in financial information investment, and the principle of grabbing orders with Hengyi was gone, and it has been squeezing out Hengyi's market share in Jincheng......"

As soon as this topic was mentioned, the atmosphere was a little dull, and Qiao Ye also had a bitter face, "At that time, he looked for me, and I said I didn't know where you went, so he used his power to suppress me, and I was cornered to Hengyi, and Hengyi was the same, I think he must have found Mr. Yu, and he couldn't ask about your whereabouts, so he wanted to use this method to force Mr. Yu." ”

After a pause for a few seconds, he said: "Fortunately, our Hengyi has a strong foundation, and we have invested hundreds of millions of dollars at once." It took only three years from the planning to the establishment of the branch, what did we look like? Mr. Ye's methods are really terrible, some of his partners are throwing money to sign exclusive agreements, or just give in, the purpose is to poach our customers, it's ......"

"Despicable." Su Nian answered.

"......" Qiao Ye looked at Su Nian's side face and was silent, Su Nian looked like he was really talking about work, Qiao Ye said again: "But we are not afraid, our headquarters is on Wall Street, and there are many domestic branches, and the core of his power is in Jincheng, and he also has some influence in China." But when we got to the headquarters, he couldn't help us. ”

Su Nian was powerless to support his forehead, "Qiao Ye, you are too naïve, now Jincheng's Hengyi financial operation has always been in a state of loss, he can't help us, but he is letting us lose money to operate, where do you think your current salary comes from?" That's all the money posted by the headquarters! ”

Qiao Ye opened his mouth and was dumbfounded.

"I've been paying attention to the operation status of the branch in Jincheng, and now the situation is really not optimistic, otherwise I won't come back at this time, I have to help my dad."

Qiao Ye touched his ears, and his voice was a little lower, "Actually, if the operation status of Jincheng is not ideal, we can consider giving up the Jincheng branch......"

Meng Yiping, who was driving in the front seat, let out a laugh at this moment, "Qiao Ye, are you stupid, Jincheng is such a big market, you say throw it away?" My dad is not that easy to throw in the towel. ”

Su Nian echoed, "Besides, why should we retreat because of other people's mistakes? Hengyi Financial can obviously show its strength in Jincheng, but now Ye Shucheng is blocking the way because of his personal anger, let's retreat, don't talk about my dad, I'm not happy, and ......"

She paused and looked at Qiao Ye, "Jincheng is the place where my father and my mother lived together, he said that he wanted to retire here in the future, and finally wanted to be buried with my mother, I don't want him to be unable to settle here because of me." ”

Qiao Ye suddenly realized, and then spoke out with some concern, "But Sister Su, by the way, you may still have to contact Mr. Ye, you ...... Is it okay? ”

Su Nian was stunned for a moment, then pulled the corners of his lips and smiled, "I'm different from before, he is just an opponent in the mall to me now, and he is an unscrupulous competitor, to deal with this kind of person, we have to do it by any means." ”

Su Nian said this quite calmly, Qiao Ye suddenly felt a little chill down his spine, and originally wanted to say that it was more or less Mianmian's father, but he changed his words at the end, "But...... Mr. Ye's wrists, don't look ruthless and unpopular, but they are really powerful, do we have a chance to win? ”

Su Nian glanced at Qiao Ye and saw that Qiao Ye was timid, "Are you afraid of him?" ”

Qiao Ye was a little embarrassed to bow his head, "It's not just me, many people are afraid of him now......"

Meng Yiping interjected while driving, "Miss Su, Mr. Ye is obviously targeting us Hengyi now. And every time there is no way back in the competition, it is simply to be wiped out, and the monopoly agreement alone has caused us to lose a large number of customers, so it is probably not so easy to deal with. ”

Su Nian slowly turned his head to look out of the car window, his eyes were dark, and he spoke for a few seconds: "I'm not afraid of him." ”

……

Group Headquarters, President's Office.

An Ziyan looked at a document spread out on the table and was dumbfounded.

The data report of the subordinate Media Asia Financial Co., Ltd. has far exceeded the profit of the cost of customer maintenance and negotiation of exclusive agreements.

An Ziyan looked up and saw that Ye Shucheng was leaning against the floor-to-ceiling window, with a cigarette between his fingers, his brows were deeply locked and he looked out of the window, and the smoke was fainting little by little.

An Ziyan closed the file. "So, you've been busy losing money all this time?"

Ye Shucheng's brows furrowed tighter, and he took a deep breath of cigarette before he spoke, "People must have foresight, and any company will be in a state of loss when it starts. ”

"It's been more than two years since Asia Financial started, right?" An Ziyan said sharply: "If this starts for another ten years, it may not be enough to compensate!" ”

Ye Shucheng didn't speak, smoking a cigarette.

An Ziyan was helpless, silent for a while, and said: "Haven't you thought that Yu Kun said that he didn't know Su Nian's whereabouts, maybe he really didn't know, so even if you brought down the Jincheng branch of Hengyi Finance, he still didn't know." You have invested so much now, have you ever thought that the bamboo basket may be empty at that time? Your ...... of this payout"

An Ziyan opened the document again and looked at it, "You will lose tens of millions of dollars in a month, and sooner or later you will not be able to pay one day." ”

Ye Shucheng shook his head, "No, these partners who have signed exclusive cooperation agreements are profitable, and they have already asked an actuary to calculate, at most, it is a loss of 10 million per month, and the existing other businesses can afford it." ”

"......" An Ziyan was amazed, he felt that Ye Shucheng was embarking on a crooked path, and he had to educate him well, "You belong to vicious competition in business, you started this, what if Hengyi Finance also uses vicious competition?" ”

Ye Shucheng folded back from the window. sat on the chair, leaned back, leaned back on the back of the chair, and his expression was indifferent, "No, you can see Yu Kun's style of acting, he is cautious and will not let the Jincheng branch drag the headquarters of Wall Street to death, so even if the subsidy is not much." ”

An Ziyan nodded, "Yes, people with normal brains won't lose like this, that is, you, if you have to kill your eyes, you won't stop when you see blood, now Hengyi Finance has been squeezed out like this by you, Yu Kun didn't let go, I think you should let go, I think he may really not know Su Nian's whereabouts." ”

Ye Shucheng's face turned pale, his head was slightly lowered, and there was a cigarette between his lips, and a white veil-like smoke enveloped his eyes, and he fell silent.

An Ziyan sighed, "Let's face it, she's gone and won't come back." ”

Ye Shucheng didn't speak, but Hitomi Ren contracted in an instant, and his fists clenched.

An Ziyan knew the paranoia in his heart and thought about it. and tried to enlighten him, "This result is not necessarily bad, the last time I saw her, she was very good, you also know what kind of person she is, her kind of woman, no matter where she goes when she leaves here, she will definitely be able to cheer up soon and manage her own life, I think she may have forgotten about you, only you are still staying where you are, constantly looking for her, looking forward to waiting for her to come back, do you want to spend your life for a woman?" And not only does the other party not know. Even if you know, you won't appreciate it. ”

An Ziyan said, remembering that Su Nian was in Yu Kun's villa, through the iron gate, and asked Ye Shucheng if he was dead.

Su Nian is too ruthless and too rational, once she weighs it, she probably won't even have superfluous hatred and other emotions, and she will throw away useless things.

Ye Shucheng knew better than An Ziyan what kind of woman Su Nian was.

He moved, and suddenly without warning he removed the cigarette from his lips, and with so much force that the burning cigarette broke between his fingers, and the tobacco fell from between his fingers. Little by little, the sparks fell on the fingers, and there was a burning pain.

He twisted the hot place, his heart was so bad that his lips pursed into a line, as if he was trying to suppress his emotions.

An Ziyan twisted his eyebrows, couldn't bear to look at it, looked away and simply looked out the window, for a few seconds, sighed: "You must know that no one can live like this for a lifetime." ”

Ye Shucheng suddenly spoke, his voice was difficult: "Maybe, maybe Yu Kun knows her whereabouts, but he just refuses to say, if I continue to put pressure on Hengyi, he will always be unable to hold on, he ......"

An Ziyan interrupted him, "If you can't hold on, you may also leave Jincheng, his biggest market is in the United States, and it is a miracle that he will spend so much energy in the Jincheng branch, you can't expect everyone to think like you, never admit defeat, a successful businessman will weigh the pros and cons and choose the most advantageous path, Yu Kun is, and you, you used to be, but look at what you have become now?" ”

Ye Shucheng's face was gloomy. I didn't even have the strength to refute a word.

He also knew he was terrible right now.

Four years ago, Su Nian evaporated from the world.

He was discharged from the hospital after a car accident and searched everywhere he could.

Because of that engagement, there were already various versions of rumors on Juren's side at that time, saying that Su Nian was a third party, because he climbed on the high branch and thought that he would marry into a wealthy family, but in the end he ended up being abandoned miserably, resulting in Su Nian not even going through the resignation procedures in the end, and never appeared in Juren again.

The house was empty, no one went back, and even the landlord couldn't contact Su Nian, and finally Han Jing quit the rent.

found Qiao Ye, Qiao Ye didn't know anything, even if he put pressure on the side. caused her to lose her job and didn't ask a word.

I also looked for Han Jing, but Han Jing also didn't know anything.

In desperation, he even went to the Shen family, but the Shen family was at a loss, saying that there had been no news from Su Nian for a long time.

He used all his connections to rummage through the entire Jincheng, and he searched all the places that should not be found, but he couldn't find any trace of her, he tried to find it in other cities and provinces, but it was like looking for a needle in a haystack.

In the end, he could only use Yu Kun as a lifesaver.

However, Yu Kun and Qiao Ye had the same attitude, only saying that they had no comment, and their attitude was not good.

Since then. He couldn't find another way out, he was trapped in a dead end, at first he was helpless against Yu Kun, and later, Hengyi Financial Jincheng Branch was established, he found a glimmer of life, what do businessmen care about most? It's nothing more than his own career, and he feels that he can always make Yu Kun speak.

The branch of Media Asia Financial has only been established for half a year from planning to establishment, and most of the next time has been devoted to squeezing out Hengyi, if it were not for Hengyi's deep roots, it would have closed down a long time ago.

But despite this, Yu Kun remained silent.

Yeshu City's face was like dead ashes, and he sat there quietly, like a sculpture. The sad aura on his body was infectious, as if some germs were attached, which made An Ziyan feel very heavy.

An Ziyan couldn't stand such a depressing atmosphere, got up and walked out, at the door, paused for a moment, as if to remind Ye Shucheng.

"It's been four years."

Then he brought the door to the door with a dull sound.

Ye Shucheng sat there motionless, like a stone sculpture.

……

A few days later, An Ziyan pulled Ye Shucheng to the "Enchanted" club.

This kind of place is generally not very popular except for entertainment, and it is only when he comes that he understands what An Ziyan has in mind.

An Ziyan forcibly stuffed a wine girl beside him.

This wine girl is not ordinary, her eyes and face are a little bit of Su Nian's shadow.

Therefore, the moment he saw her face clearly, Ye Shucheng was in a trance, but as soon as she opened her mouth, the difference immediately became prominent.

"Hello Mr. Ye, I'm Xiaoxiao."

This Xiaoxiao smile's eyes are like flowers, and his voice is soft and glutinous, but he hugged his arm and stuck to it.

Su Nian would not be so enthusiastic, Su Nian was introverted and shy, even if he occasionally showed a little sticky posture, he would not be so straightforward, let alone to a man who met for the first time.

His brows furrowed, but he turned his head to meet Xiaoxiao's eyes, the ghost made a god, he didn't push her away, only said, "Let go." ”

Xiaoxiao pouted, turned her head to look at An Ziyan, An Ziyan made a look, "I asked you to accompany Mr. Ye to drink, don't rush to stick it." ”

Xiaoxiao understood, let go of Ye Shucheng's arm, and was about to pour wine, An Ziyan said: "Forget it, Mr. Ye doesn't drink, you can sing and chat with him." ”

What kind of entertainment can you have in this place? An Ziyan couldn't think of new tricks, he played too hard all of a sudden, it was estimated that Ye Shucheng couldn't accept it, he felt that what he said was quite compromised, but when he glanced at Ye Shucheng, his face looked particularly gloomy in the light of the lanterns.

Before An Ziyan could speak, another girl next to him pulled him over.

"Mr. An, how long have you not been here......

Nephrite Wen Xiang took the initiative to come over, and An Ziyan immediately forgot about Ye Shucheng.

Xiaoxiao took the initiative to order songs, and when she turned around, she asked Ye Shucheng what songs he liked.

Ye Shucheng's face darkened, "I like to be quiet. ”

Xiaoxiao's eyes lit up and said: "That's boring, it's okay, it doesn't matter if you don't like to sing, I ordered, I'll sing to you, I sing very well, people call me Jincheng Jolin Tsai!" ”

The corners of Ye Shucheng's eyes twitched a little, and he raised his hand to stroke his forehead.

Where did An Ziyan find such a living treasure......

After Xiaoxiao finished ordering the song, as soon as she opened her mouth with the microphone, even An Ziyan next to her was startled.

A song Jolin Tsai's "Dancer" was recomposed by her, and she couldn't find the edge when she ran out of tune, An Ziyan was a little embarrassed, and laughed next to Ye Shucheng, "You bear with me, I've seen her once, and I don't know if she has incomplete five tones......"

After a pause, he said, "But it's enough for her to have this face, isn't it?" And don't you think her personality is much better than that gloomy Su Nian? Lively and cheerful and generous. ”

Ye Shucheng's eyebrows were heavy, "What is your idea?" ”

An Ziyan hesitated, endured Xiaoxiao's magic voice, and said: "I didn't let you marry her home, coming to this kind of place is nothing more than to have fun, these are drinking girls." Give enough money, do everything, how good this relationship is, don't get tired if you don't move, you've been so tight for the past few years, you should relax......"

When An Ziyan said these words in his ear, Xiaoxiao was in front, singing "Spin and jump, I close my eyes" while really closing his eyes and making an intoxicated appearance, and the corners of Ye Shucheng's lips moved slightly.

An Ziyan clapped his hands, "Look, do you want to laugh, I'll tell you, this is a good place to relax, and this is Xiaoxiao." Don't look at her stupid, stupid and stupid! Isn't she particularly funny. ”

Ye Shucheng didn't speak.

An Ziyan was quite satisfied, patted him on the shoulder and turned to find his girl.

Xiaoxiao is a wheat bully.

There are five people in the box, a girl on the left and right side of An Ziyan, I can't think about it, Ye Shucheng is a big ice cube, I can't drink alcohol, Xiaoxiao originally wanted to shake the dice, but if I didn't want to drink, it didn't make sense to shake the dice, and in the end I could only let go of myself and hold a solo concert, and every time I ordered a song, I asked Ye Shucheng if I liked it.

Ye Shucheng never answered her, she always asked herself, "It's okay if you don't like it, after you listen to me sing it, you will definitely fall in love with this song." ”

Ye Shucheng reluctantly turned his face, this Xiaoxiao had a kind of mysterious self-confidence.

But whenever Xiaoxiao goes to sing, his eyes will unconsciously look over.

He discerned in her face—

Eyebrows, eyes, nose, mouth, and then he wanted Su Nian's face.

It's like, but it's not like it......

He looked at it, and everything was not quite real, and he fell into a trance.

The memories have become very distant, too long, he remembered An Ziyan's words, yes, four years.

His time had not advanced, but his memories were fading.

What echoed in his ears at this moment was a lyric song that Xiaoxiao was still out of tune. Eason Chan's "Ten Years" -

"Ten years later,

We're friends

Also greetings,

Just that gentleness,

I can't find a reason to hug again......"

Xiaoxiao was still intoxicated when she sang, Ye Shucheng wanted to laugh, but she couldn't.

What Han Jing once said was right, Han Jing might still have a chance to be friends with Su Nian, as long as she was willing to appear, they might be able to greet each other naturally, chat, and ask each other how they were doing.

For him, these are all extravagant hopes.

Sometimes he thinks that he can compromise, as long as she is willing to show up, he is willing to let go of everything in the past, even if it is just to be friends, as long as she is still in his sight, as long as she does not disappear silently like this.

But no matter how much he backs down, no one listens, no one forgives.

He just sat here out of place, listening to a song out of tune, and his dashing face became hazy.

Ten years, if he can see Su Nian for ten years, he is willing to wait, but this is also uncertain, he can't insist on waiting uncertainly, he begins to doubt whether he can see her again in this life.

He suddenly got up and walked out.

The action was very big and sudden, Xiaoxiao was stunned, An Ziyan was busy being drunk with left and right, she threw the microphone and chased it out.

At the door of the clubhouse, the wind in the spring night was still a little cool, Xiaoxiao saw Ye Shucheng looking at his mobile phone and walked over, "Mr. Ye, are you okay?" ”

Ye Shucheng shook his head, looked at his phone for a while, and suddenly looked up at Xiaoxiao again, "Did Mr. An tell you that you look like a person." ”

Xiaoxiao was stunned for a moment, and then nodded, "I know, he said that I am like someone you have dated before." ”

Ye Shucheng suddenly laughed, "Actually, it's not that similar. ”

His smile was a little bleak, Xiaoxiao pursed his lips for a few seconds, and became curious, "Is there a picture of her?" I want to see it. ”

Ye Shucheng handed her the mobile phone in his hand.

She took it and burst out laughing, "What's this?" O black man! ”

The woman in the photo had a furious expression, her face was jet black, and she couldn't tell her appearance at all, she could only look at those eyes.

Ye Shucheng also smiled, lowered his head and took out a cigarette from his pocket and lit one.

Xiaoxiao glanced at it and noticed that his fingers were shaking.

An Ziyan once explained that as long as she coaxed Ye Shucheng to be happy, she would have a lot of tips, so she worked hard to enliven the atmosphere: "I think I may be better looking than her." ”

"No, you don't."

Ye Shucheng's answer was quite neat.

Xiaoxiao pursed her lips, and heard Ye Shucheng's voice fall low, with some sadness.

"But I'm not sure......" His fingers holding the cigarette trembled very much, he pressed it with his other hand, remembering the feeling of the moment just now, his heart was very empty, "I ...... I can't remember what she looked like. ”
