Chapter Sixty-Six: The Road to Success
The three of them went deep into the woods, followed the old lady all the way, but lost it. At this time, they were spinning in place, Yuan Peng turned around and found that there was one less between the two of them, and said in surprise: "What about Zhou Yuan?" ”
"I don't know, wasn't you with us just now?" This person began to panic, and even showed very frightened eyes, squatted down and said in despair: "We can't get out, we can't get out, I want to go back, go back to Shanghai, go back to Shanghai." Yuan Peng stood in place, looking at the person squatting on the ground, took a few steps back, looked at this wood, all around was the same, they were lost, sitting limply under the tree, with their backs to this big tree, they couldn't go there. The person next to him was still squatting in place, holding his head with both hands, feeling that he had no strength, he sat down and looked ahead, began to cry, and said, "What do you say we should do?" Speak. At this time, Yuan Peng was also helpless, looking ahead in despair.
"Boss, in fact, I regret coming here, if it was in Shanghai now, how good it would be, blame that Yang Bo, if we didn't ask us to come to this Shumen Village to find some excitement, okay, now it's called every day and the earth is not spiritual, do we die here?" After finishing speaking, the crying continued, and he said: "It's all to blame on that Yang Bo, he found it himself when he got lost, why did you say we came to him, now there are only two of us left." ”
Yuan Peng stood up, looked around, and exclaimed, "Who are you?" Who is it? What is it to pretend to be a ghost? Something comes directly at me, it has nothing to do with them, you come out, come out. Yuan Peng looked around the woods, and at this time, a bright light appeared in the depths of the woods, and his colleague stood up and looked at the bright light in the depths of the woods, as if he saw a kind of hope.
"Boss, you see there's light there, we can go out, we can go out." After finishing speaking, he ran to the light very excitedly. Yuan Peng hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed this person, and said, "Don't go, that's fake, you can't come back if you go." At this time, he couldn't listen to Yuan Peng's words at all, and shook off Yuan Peng and said: "It's better to have a little hope than to wait for death here." After saying that, he ran impatiently towards the light, and after a long time, there were several screams. Yuan Peng hurriedly ran and stood there, looking ahead, the grass was full of bones. Yuan Peng looked around and shouted, "Li Yong, Li Yong." "A man was found sitting in the grass. Yuan Peng opened the flashlight in his hand and shot it, looked at the back of this person, slowly stepped forward and kept approaching, and said, "Yang Bo," and slapped his shoulder a few times with one hand, this scene made Yuan Peng stunned. It turned out that Yang Bo, who was sitting on the ground, was gnawing on his colleague's arm, which was torn from his colleague's body, and Li Yong, who fell to the ground, was covered with scars that had been gnawed or scratched. Yang Bo raised his head and looked at Yuan Peng who was standing behind him, his mouth full of blood. Yuan Peng hurriedly retreated, Yang Bo got up and walked towards Yuan Peng very slowly, a sharp claw flew out and grabbed Yuan Peng's heart, Yuan Peng held the wooden stick with both hands and pressed it down, only to hear the sound of broken bones, the claws cut through his clothes and suddenly green smoke rose straight up, Yang Bo took a few steps back and the whole body was on fire, sparks danced wildly, black smoke billowed up, a piercing scream, and finally turned into a charred corpse. After Yuan Peng turned around, he ran all the way, all the way forward, and there were bursts of strange laughter in the woods. Yuan Peng didn't care about anything, he kept running forward, and when he ran out of this forest, the sky had already opened, and the mountainside was Yimen Village. At this time, Yuan Peng thought of Wang Bin, who was still in the old mansion. At this time, Yuan Peng walked towards the old house on the mountainside, and when he entered the door, he saw that the straw pile was full of blood, and only Wang Bin's head was left on the ground. Yuan Peng picked up Wang Bin's head in his arms, heartbroken, and said, "Wang Bin, Wang Bin, I shouldn't have left you here alone, ah!" Finally, he lost his voice and roared, and fainted. At this time, his eyes were dark, and sometimes he felt his rapid heartbeat and weak breathing. At this time, a bright door opened in front of his eyes, and from outside the bright gate walked a man of his age, this man was full of white hair, his beard was white, as if he was more than ten years old, the white placket and the turban fluttering down were like the handsome sons in ancient times, and like the gods in the sky, the smile on his face was so amiable, and said: "Yuan Peng, follow me, out of the darkness is a piece of light." Yuan Peng followed behind the white-haired man to the light, and after a flash of strong light, Yuan Peng opened his eyes, only to find himself lying on the hospital bed, and his wife sitting next to the bed. Yuan Peng looked at his wife and said, "Xiaowei." ”
"Yuan Peng, you can be regarded as awake and scared me."
"I'm all right."
Xiaowei leaned into Yuan Peng's ear and said, "The police are still outside, do you want to call them in." Yuan Peng just nodded and said, "Well, call them in." Xiaowei got up and walked out and called two policemen. After the two policemen walked in, they moved a stool and sat in front of them, and said: "You are really bold, you stay in Yimen Village overnight, if someone doesn't call the police, you may not be able to get out." We found you in the middle of the old house and took you to the hospital. ”
"Thank you, and how are the four of them? I want to meet them. ”
"They are all dead, very miserable, there are often murders in Weimen Village and the Forest of Death, and there are wolves infested there, it is extremely dangerous, being sealed as a forbidden place is to warn you not to go anywhere, about the cause of death of the four of them, we will arrange someone to investigate, find out the murderer."
After hearing this, Yuan Peng's tears couldn't help but fall, and the two policemen got up and said, "You take care of your injuries, if you don't know anything, we will come back and ask you about the details of the case." ”
"Okay, I'll fully cooperate with your investigation." The two policemen walked out, Xiaowei got up to see each other, and the two policemen turned around and said, "Okay, just send it here." Yuan Peng lay on his side on the hospital bed and cried secretly, tears wet the pillow next to him, sometimes felt some pain in his chest, tore open the collar to see, in his chest and was scratched down the deep injury, hanging between the neck of the talisman was also scratched, Yuan Peng folded it and saw that it was full of a charm, it turned out that this talisman saved his life, otherwise he died tragically in the forest of death like the four of them. They went to Weimen Village to explore this time, and five people went and one person returned, which was the price of blood and huge losses. Yuan Peng also escaped death and picked up a life, and left after lying in a hospital in Yunnan for five days and set off for Shanghai. After returning to Shanghai, Yuan Peng seemed to be a different person, with few words and less laughter. At this time, Yuan Peng had not come to work for many days and did not see any friends, and locked himself in his room all day. Now he is just staying in the room alone, sitting alone in the hall in a daze, sometimes getting up and walking out to stand on the balcony, taking out a cigarette and smoking alone and coughing.
Huang Lei and Zhang Haisheng found Xiaowei who was buying vegetables in the vegetable market after work, Xiaowei had a big belly at this time, and it seemed that the child was about to give birth. Huang Lei said: "Cousin, how has Yuan Peng been lately? ”
"After what happened, I rarely saw him smile, and he rarely went out and never chatted with us," Xiaowei sighed after speaking, also worried about him.
"Why haven't you seen Shiqin these days, has she returned to her hometown?"
"Well, yes, I'll send her back to her hometown and give it to her parents, and they can take the child when they are older."
"Well, but that's fine. We all know about Yuan Peng, no one is uncomfortable after this incident, wait for him to slow down for a while, and he will be fine after a while. Yuan Peng is not a person who can't bear things. Zhang Haisheng, who followed behind, stepped forward and said, "I'll go find Yuan Peng." ”
"Crazy Zhang, what are you looking for Yuan Peng? Go back and get some rest, and I have to go to work tomorrow. ”
"He can't stop fighting, I'm going to wake him up." After finishing speaking, he ran to the community where Yuan Peng lived, went upstairs and pushed open the door. Yuan Peng turned to look at Zhang Haisheng who walked in, and said: "Haisheng, you are here, please take a seat, my wife has gone to buy vegetables, we will eat together in a while, my wife told me when I went out, Huang Lei is also coming." At this time, Yuan Peng was weak when he spoke. Zhang Haisheng stepped forward and stood behind Yuan Peng and said, "Yuan Peng, do you remember what you said to me at the beginning?" You were ambitious back then, but what's wrong with you now? If you don't come to work for a few days, where do your ambitions go? ”
Yuan Peng smoked a cigarette and looked into the distance, and said: "This is all in the past, let's do our own thing, and everything else is a luxury." ”
"Yuan Peng, I didn't expect you to be able to say such a thing, it's so disappointing to me, have you ever thought that you would say such a thing while pinning your hopes on your family and friends and the people around you who value you, as well as your original promise, what? You want to give up. ”
"I now have enough money to support my family, what else do I need?"
"Okay, let me tell you one thing, the day before yesterday I went to the bank to borrow more than two million, this is for you to prepare for the construction of the factory, if you still have my friend, I will come to the café in the old place tomorrow, if you don't have a friend like me in your heart, even if we know each other in vain, then we go our separate ways and don't disturb each other, you can do it yourself." After finishing speaking, Zhang Haisheng stepped out of Yuan Peng's room. Yuan Peng turned to look at the back of Zhang Haisheng walking out, snuffed out the cigarette in his hand, turned to look at the tall buildings not far away and the sunset on the horizon, thinking that he had been silent in the violent grief It was better to fight hard, maybe there was a glimmer of hope. The next day, Yuan Peng found Huang Lei and Zhang Haisheng to meet in the café.
"Yuan Peng, you've figured it out," Zhang Haisheng raised his head and looked at Yuan Peng who walked in, and said with a smile.
Yuan Peng and Huang Lei stepped forward and sat down, Yuan Peng faced Zhang Haisheng and said, "I can't lose a friend like you, I can't get through if I don't want to, and listen to my plan." Then he faced Huang Lei, who was sitting next to him, and said: "Huang Lei, you have a very strong ability to do things, you can use the rest time to inquire about the factory to rent, if there is a suitable place, you don't need to discuss and buy it decisively, and you also need to prepare for the recruitment work." Huang Lei nodded and said, "Okay, I know, I'll do it immediately." Then he said to Zhang Haisheng: "Zhang Haisheng, you are careful, suitable for managing the economy, all the finances in the factory are in charge of you, such as financial income and expenditure, you must make detailed or some decision-making plans are promulgated by you after my consent." Zhang Haisheng nodded and said, "Okay." ”
"I am responsible for contacting merchants and suppliers and borrowing troops from Mr. Wu, I think after the establishment of the factory, it will be called Dacheng No. 2 Factory, our strength is not strong enough, just like a newborn baby needs to learn to borrow chickens and eggs, standing on the shoulders of giants to expand their strength."
"Okay, this idea is very good," Zhang Haisheng pondered for a while and agreed with Yuan Peng's opinion.
"We will strive to finish it in a week, do you have any confidence," Yuan Peng looked at them with very determined eyes and said.
"Yes!"
"Okay, you all go ahead and go ahead with the plan." Yuan Peng, Huang Lei, and Zhang Haisheng all left this café. The next day, after some grooming and dressing, Yuan Peng went to work in formal clothes, sitting in the office and working according to the routine. At noon, Yuan Peng got up and walked out, stood in front of the door of Mr. Wu's office, knocked on the door of the office, and then entered: "Mr. Wu." ”
Mr. Wu raised his head and looked at Yuan Peng, who was standing in front of the desk, and said, "Oh, Xiao Yuan, is there something wrong?" ”
"My factory is opening this weekend, and I hope you'll be able to come to the opening ceremony," he said, placing the invitation on his desk.
"Okay, I got it." After Yuan Peng withdrew from Mr. Wu's office. Mr. Wu glanced at Yuan Peng, who had exited the office, picked up the invitation card on the desk with one hand, and looked at it in the drawer for a while. Huang Lei ran around after work, looking for a suitable plant and checking or inquiring about the rental of the plant, bought the plant within two days and opened on time on the weekend of this week, the sound of firecrackers and gongs and drums sounded in unison, the lion dance in front of the door played the dragon, and the merchants came to congratulate after receiving the invitation, and Yuan Peng, Huang Lei, Zhang Haisheng and others stood aside to watch, and their applause continued. Dacheng boss Wu Qiming was no exception, and came to join in the fun and stand with Yuan Peng to cut the ribbon. At the same time, Huang Lei walked out of the talent market labor market to recruit people, and the people who came to apply for the job looked at the salary and treatment one after another, and suddenly they were in full swing, and the businesses put the materials into Dacheng No. 2 factory, processed into semi-finished products and transferred to Dacheng No. 1 factory to process into finished products into the market, and the benefits were quite rich.
