"The Orion Nebula is a very young celestial object, there are many young stars and prestellar objects, and a large number of stellar clouds make it full of mystery. Of course, although humans have studied this nebula very thoroughly, you haven't been there, I haven't been, and he hasn't been there. I haven't been there and it's very familiar, this feeling is really weird, it makes people want to go, that's how we are. You've heard a lot of mysterious things, but you haven't seen them, and you want to see them but you can't see them, so we're calling them Orion. Steve gestured with his hand as he spoke, while Lu Lingfeng looked at the side smiling, only Gu Minghui looked very serious and seemed to be very patient. He nodded as he listened.

"Today is a primer, and I'll tell you about the basic skills we have. You also saw it last time, hypnosis, yes, our hypnosis is not like ordinary hypnosis, it takes a long time to introduce, and our hypnosis is in an instant, so that you can immediately enter the illusion I have arranged. Of course, there are some necessary conditions for this, and I will tell you what the conditions are later. The old man took a sip of water and continued: "This time you asked me to help you get a contract, originally we were not interested in doing business or anything, but in order to let you see how good we are, I can also help you, although it is a little overkill." Well, but you're going to have to join us when you succeed. ”

"As long as you can help me make this thing successful, of course I will follow the boss's wishes and study it with you."

"That's good, it's up to me."

At night, Gu Minghui thought about the things of the day. Why could I imagine Lu Lingfeng's appearance in the mirror at that time, could it be that there was a ripple in my heart. But fortunately, it was because I thought of him that I thought of using Orion as a move, so that I could boast on the board of directors that I would definitely be able to win this project. Let Carter's treacherous plan not succeed for the time being. However, this is also a risky move, and if Orion really just doesn't like it, it could put itself in a more difficult situation. But for now, we can only take one step at a time.

The date for them to submit the proposal and the quotation agreed with the British and French is coming in a blink of an eye. Gu Minghui made a phone call to the person in charge of the other party and said: "The time for us to submit the bid is 3 o'clock tomorrow afternoon, and we attach great importance to this project, so I will personally lead the team over and submit it to you by hand." "Because Britain and France are working together on this smart city project, they are each building a pilot city in their own country. So when they talked, the heads of both of them were also together.

After the phone call, she called her assistant Amy to sort out the required documents one by one and prepare a few sets of clothes for herself. Then she went to the jungle where Orion was. After meeting with them, I confirmed the time and plan of action, and went back.

In the afternoon, Gu Minghui wore a lilac fine-grained cardigan, a khaki women's windbreaker on the outside, and jeans on her legs, which made her already slender legs look even more beautiful and moving. She put a pair of sunglasses on her face, pulled a smaller suitcase, and sat in the Maybach S680 that the driver drove over. Her car was to the airport, to catch the same day plane to London.

After nearly 8 hours of flight, it was already 10 o'clock in the morning local time when we arrived in London. She took a taxi straight to the booked hotel. In the car, she picked up her mobile phone and called: "I've arrived, where are you now?" Okay, meet at the customer's door at 1 p.m. When she arrived at the hotel, Gu Minghui took a little rest. After eating a bite and resting for about 1 hour, I changed into a formal business attire and got up to rush to the client.

Her client is actually the city of London**, and the hotel she lives in is only half an hour away. It's here in the blink of an eye. After getting out of the car, I saw Steve and Lu Lingfeng from a distance. These two people, who usually don't have a proper shape, are doing very well today, both wearing formal clothes, carrying document bags, and dressing up very energetically. The three of them arrived at the ** door together, a white building, in front of which was a large lawn, surrounded by all kinds of flags.

Then someone sent a message inside, and after a while, seven or eight people came out, both old and young, male and female. They were quickly invited in and shook hands with each other. Then he led the three of them into a conference room, someone made them coffee, Gu Minghui sat in the middle, and Steve and Lu Lingfeng sat on either side.

Then more than a dozen people entered one after another, and the last old man walked in with some papers in his hand. "First of all," the man said, "thank you very much for coming all the way and welcome you to visit London. I'm the main person in charge of this project, my name is William. As is customary, I know you all know our requirements very well, but I'm going to repeat it again. So this William "snapped" their demand and thought again. Finally, he said: "The project has been delayed a lot later than we originally planned, so we are also very anxious, and your company is currently the last contributor to the project. In order to save time, we specially invite you to introduce directly, which will also express your advantages more intuitively. After you have finished your presentation, we will give you the final winner within two days. Okay, now I would like to ask Miss Gu to introduce your company's plan. Thank you! ”

Gu Minghui unhurriedly opened the computer and some folders, and then opened the PPT to show them. At this time, Steve and Lu Lingfeng also took out some documents from their file bags and put them on the table. Then the documents floated slowly, spun rapidly in the middle of the table, and then they became a three-dimensional street view, animating their proposal. Gu Minghui was also involved in this magical power, and felt that she had entered this block. With a variety of fast driving functions and smarter traffic lights, the magical building plays a lot of daily information. The train that shuttles through the air has no track in sight. Shopping in shopping malls is also smarter and faster, and supermarkets no longer have to queue up to pay. The intelligent weather control system keeps the city from sudden attacks. Although Gu Minghui couldn't jump out of the illusion on her own, she was indeed deeply shocked by this magical scene. It took about half an hour for these people to wake up from a dream, and each of them had an incredible sense of satisfaction and a smile on their faces. They all felt that Gu Minghui's plan and narration were so wonderful that they couldn't extricate themselves from it.

Two days later, they met here again, and William said: "I thought you would go back directly, but I didn't expect you to still wait here, and we are very grateful for your sincerity, so this time we announced the results of the bid and specially invited you to participate." In order to prevent accidents, Steve and Lu Lingfeng performed hypnosis again. In the end, they won the contract without any suspense. Gu Minghui let out a long breath.

After returning to the United States, the directors led by Carter were naturally like deflated balls, and no one dared to say anything anymore. I just think that these two customers must have been tricked by Gu Minghui, or they received huge bribes, otherwise how could they win the bid with such an indiscriminate plan and price. But now it was useless to think about anything, and they had to swallow this breath. A month later they got a formal contract. After this incident, Gu Minghui's position in the company has been further consolidated.

Just as Gu Minghui breathed another sigh of relief, assistant Amy ran over again and said, "At 9 o'clock in the evening, Daystar wants to see you." ”

"Okay, you tell him I'll be there on time."

At 9 o'clock in the evening, Gu Minghui came to Chris's room as promised. This time it wasn't just the two of them, but also Steve and Lu Lingfeng. There's another Indian, yes, Galava. Galava had returned from the Tianshan Mountains, and he and Chris had been separated from each other in Shanghai. He said he was going to go back and deal with some things before he went to the United States to find Chris

。 After Gu Minghui came in, Chris first praised her and said: "We don't have any experience in smart city projects, and you have also won them, and you have done a good job." After you do it, you can promote it. But honestly, even if you don't use Orion, they'll pick us, and I already said hello to them before this project started. We, the allies of the United States, of course, have to choose our own people more assured. Gu Minghui suddenly realized after hearing this, but there was a little sadness in her heart, probably for the Chinese company. It is very difficult to do business with these capitalist countries and get fair treatment. But business is like that, sometimes you use all the resources you can use, all for profit.

Gu Minghui was thinking about it, and Chris spoke again: "Come, let me introduce you to each other, this is Galava, my strategic alliance, do you know what his interests are?" Oh, I'll leave that at that. Come to Lao Jia, I would like to introduce you to my new president, a top student from Stanford University, Miss Gu Minghui. She has been in the company since my father's time and started from the grassroots level, but with her excellent performance and good morality, she has now achieved the position of president, which shows that people must have ideals. It also shows that we pay attention to talents, as long as you are willing to work hard and work with me, you will be able to be reused. After speaking, he glanced at Gu Minghui. Gu Minghui hurriedly nodded and expressed her gratitude.

"Okay, now I'm going to get to the point, the following content is scuba level." Chris first looked around at a few people, then pointed at Steve and Lu Lingfeng and continued: "These two people are the most important and reliable people I currently rely on. His name is Steve, and when he was young, he began to study theology, Buddhism, Taoism, psychology, medicine, etc., too much, and traveled all over the world to study, gathering the strengths of many families. And I learned a good skill from his master, such as the instantaneous hypnosis Dafa, the dream Dafa, the consciousness control method, etc., which can instantly control a person's mind. This young man's name is Lu Lingfei, he is from China, and you must know his master, An Shendong, yes, it is the cunning old fox. Although his skills are far from An Laodao, it is still very easy to deal with some ordinary people, and now I asked him to follow Steve and help me complete the great cause together. There are five of us at the moment, and together we are going to accomplish a very amazing and great thing, to take control of the Earth without the use of force as much as possible. ”

"Just the five of us?" Gu Minghui asked.

Chris suddenly turned his head around and looked at Gu Minghui viciously. He said: "You can do without anything, but you must not be without confidence. We're five people now, but in the future it's going to be 500 people, 50,000 people, 500 million people, and eventually 5 billion people. Okay, now let's focus on my Indian partner, Galava. My strategic alliance and extremely important business partner. You may not know his name, mainly because Lao Jia is too low-key, but the oil, coal and all kinds of ores under his control can easily make your car without gas and the kitchen without gas. The most important thing is that he controls more than 50% of the world's underground military factories. Chris looked around for a moment, then patted his chest: "And we, the Hoth Empire, hold more than 30% of the world's standards in various industries. As long as I give an order, I can turn an industry upside down in an instant. Well, it's strong enough, do you still think we're alone, we just don't have a regular army. Okay, I have a division of labor now, Lao Jia and I have been partners for many years, and all major matters are decided by the two of us. Lao Canada is mainly responsible for economic confrontation and military confrontation, while I am responsible for political confrontation. Steve and Lu Lingfeng, the two of you are responsible for controlling the will of the people we need, mainly military and political leaders who do not cooperate with us. In terms of funding, it is up to our high-quality students

ia Gu is in charge. This grand project is called the Orion Nebula Project. ”

With a wave of his hand, a holographic cosmic projection appeared in the room, and the lights in the room went out. What's even more amazing is that they suddenly seem to have jumped into the universe, completely integrated with the projection, vast and starry.

Suddenly, Chris said, "Look ahead, the one with wings spread like a big bird is the Orion Nebula." "From a distance, it looks like a magical flower blooming in the universe. There are red petals, white stamens, green buds, and the mysterious black soil that nurtures its growth. Countless stars floated among the white stamens, like specks on the petals. Suddenly, the perspective turned, and they seemed to have entered its buds. Looking down from above, it looks even more magical, they seem to be sitting on the back of a big bird, this big bird is like a phoenix, the body is huge, with its own fairy energy, and the surrounding air is like a cloud and mist. The phoenix's body seemed to be transparent, and you could see that there were countless lives in his belly, yes, it should be a star that had not yet taken shape. These stars are like spirits swimming in the deep sea, and they are so amazing that you can't describe the shock in words. Maybe our earth is really like a tiny molecule or even an atom in the universe. Suddenly, the style of painting changed, the perspective is rushing to the earth at a high speed, this blue planet is a miracle in the universe, how many unexpected coincidences can create our cradle of life. The perspective was turning and zooming in until they were on the ground. Here they saw smoke-filled chimneys, black mud-laden sewage, whaling ships, and brutal wars that filled the coastline with garbage and corpses. Faced with these horrific scenes, it feels like life has been misplaced, thrown into hell, trampled and destroyed by their merciless efforts. It seems that everyone is suffering from suffocation, the fear of imminent death. This is the Earth, our home.

Suddenly, everyone came out of the illusion and returned to reality. "See, the Earth is being destroyed by these ignorant and arrogant people, and the Orion Nebula is the cradle of new life, and we want to give people a new life and take back the resources that should belong to us," Chris said. Let those ignorant and arrogant guys leave our earth forever. If we don't fight, then our children and grandchildren will fight. If we can't win the world, then our souls will be separated from the world. ”

Gu Minghui's brain seemed to be still stuck in the projection just now, this kind of shock had never been seen before, she really felt the vastness of the universe and her own insignificance, and at the same time felt the ignorance and sin of human beings on the earth.

Gu Minghui returned home in the evening, and she still couldn't distinguish between illusion and reality in her brain, and she became a member of Orion in a daze. However, she was glad that Chris did not arrange for her to do things outside her major, fortunately he just asked her for money, which was her business, even if the boss didn't say it, she would work hard to make more money for the boss. But she always felt as if Chris was bluffing, and she felt that they couldn't rule the planet, which was really ridiculous. But it may also be that she is too far away from politics and has no contact with the things in that circle at all, just like she can only do business, which is not at all in her profession. But the only thing that makes her feel good in this matter is that she and Lu Lingfeng have inexplicably become colleagues now, and they are colleagues in a small team of 5 people, and they will have more time to work together in the future, she feels very good. Every time she thought of Lu Lingfeng, her heart was like being blown by the spring breeze, itchy, warm, so that all her troubles dissipated immediately.

Life seems to be back on track, she hasn't been bothered by Chris for two months, and she feels a lot more grounded, but she also feels like something is missing. Oh, she knew what was missing, so she drove herself to Orion's forest hut again.

She rang the doorbell anyway, but this time no one answered, and the door opened on its own. Gu Minghui walked into the room and saw that the room was still so messy, but there was no one. Maybe they had something to do when they went out, she thought to herself. So she walked around the room, looking at this and touching that. There is a photo frame on one of the tables, and there is a photo of Lu Lingfeng in it, in which Lu Lingfeng is still sunny and handsome, but he looks a little more immature than now. The current Lu Lingfeng is still handsome, but he has added some charming manly charm.

Gu Minghui looked at the photos, and then raised her head to look at the sloppiness of the room, always feeling quite awkward. Let's just help the two of them clean up the house themselves. So Gu Minghui took an apron and tied it to her body and began to clean up their house. First of all, there was the garbage on the ground, there were rags, there were beer bottles, there were cigarette cases, anyway, there was a mess of everything. After tidying up on the floor, tidying up the table, after tidying up the table, then there are all kinds of furniture. This sofa chair or something is also crooked, horizontal and vertical. Gu Minghui set it up one by one.

I have been cleaning up for more than an hour, and when I look at it again, it is completely changed, the computer is neatly arranged, and the floor is clean. Gu Minghui was sitting on the sofa admiring the fruits of her labor when she suddenly heard a "crunch" and the door of a room opened. Gu Minghui looked at it and stood up and went over to close it, and when she walked over, she wanted to see if it was so messy inside, so she put her head in to investigate, and she found that this was not a room but a staircase leading to the basement. Gu Minghui was about to close the door when she heard a "click" from below, as if something had fallen to the ground. She wondered if the two of them would be studying something in the basement, so she might as well go down and see for herself. So she slowly leaned against the wall and descended the stairs. The staircase is divided into two sections, with a bend in the middle. She went down the stairs and found a very dim light bulb. The space below is about 100 square meters, and there are many tables, cabinets, and the like. There are a lot of things that I can't understand, and I don't know what they're for, like things in a chemical laboratory. Suddenly, she saw a skull on the table, frightened, she hurriedly took a few steps back, and touched something behind her, she turned around to look, and was shocked again, behind her was a human skeleton, but without a head. She ran out with a frightened "ah", went up the stairs and rushed to the door, and suddenly crashed into a person's arms, she looked up and saw that it was Lu Lingfeng, Lu Lingfeng seemed to be running in a panic, and both of them were startled. Gu Minghui rushed out of the door of the corridor and took two steps back, and said first: "What are you doing, how can there be dead people inside?" ”

"Dead people? Are you kidding, I haven't asked you yet, how did you get in? And did you clean up this house? ”

"First of all, answer me why there are dead people in the house?"

"Hey, you're unreasonable, it's ridiculous that you sneaked to us and questioned us. Tell me if you cleaned up this house? Saying that, Lu Lingfeng grabbed Gu Minghui's hand. Gu Minghui felt a powerful force spread from her arm to her body, although she could feel that Lu Lingfeng was holding it very hard, but she didn't feel very pain.

"You let me go." Gu Minghui violently broke free of Lu Lingfeng and took a few steps back, she could feel that her face seemed to be a little red. So he quickly turned around and said: "You guys are so messy here, it doesn't look like a place where people live at all, I'll help you clean it up, you still treat me like this, are you sick?" ”

"Okay, I know you're kind, so I won't pursue it, but you still have to stay here to help me now, and quickly mess up your things, and do what I said, and the most important thing is to do it before the old man comes back."

"Hey, are you really sick? I like messy, I don't like cleanliness. ”

"I won't argue with you about this now, let's start immediately, and I'll tell you the reason later, hurry up, otherwise we'll be dead when the old man comes."

Gu Minghui couldn't help but feel a little nervous when she saw that Lu Lingfeng was not talking nonsense, she slowly understood that these people were not simple, and they might be able to do anything. So she listened to Lu Lingfeng's command, how to place the sofa, how to put the computer, how to place the things on the table, how to place the items in the house, and hurriedly packed up. It's not right, and it has to be said by Lu Lingfeng, Gu Minghui thought to herself that this is the first time I have encountered this kind of strange thing, tidying up the housework and messing up neatly, and I have to be so particular about messing up. After a long period of busy work, Lu Lingfeng finally said that he had reached the standard, and the two of them were actually sweating. But Lu Lingfeng hasn't said anything about soiling the sofa and sprinkling some dirt on the tables and chairs. Otherwise, there is no place to sit. Gu Minghui sat on the sofa and gasped and asked:

"What kind of bad customs are you guys, why are you making such a mess?"

"Since you're all from our Orions, it doesn't hurt for me to tell you, the things here and their locations are too well studied. It's all the result of the old man's painstaking research for half a lifetime, for example, why is this sofa placed horizontally and vertically. If you look down from the sky, you'll see that what is here is the image of several of our planetary stars in the constellation Orion. The location of our house is also very researched, you just joined us and don't have to be too anxious, there will be time to talk to you later. ”

"Then why do you have skeletons in that basement?"

"You don't understand this, the law of man, the law of the earth, the law of the sky, the law of the heavens, the law of nature, everything in the world can't escape a word of the Tao, do you think we are studying skeletons, in fact, we are pursuing the principle of the Great Dao."

Gu Minghui pursed her lips and continued: "By the way, you guys are messing around all day long, aren't you afraid that the police will come to check on you?" Lu Lingfeng laughed, and then said: "Police, first of all, he must be able to find us, our place is not something that ordinary people can find if they say they can find it, simply put, our place is invisible in this world." ”

"Then why can I find it?"

"That's because we let you find you."

Gu Minghui looked at Lu Lingfeng's appearance and shook her head, and didn't say anything more. She felt that she didn't hear anything substantial, so she simply asked: "Lu Lingfeng, why are you so young, superstitious about this thing, what do you think these illusory things can do, and do you really believe that Chris can rule the earth?" ”

"Shhhh

"Don't talk nonsense, that's me. If it's the old man, you're in trouble. Remember not to say such things in front of them. ”

This time, Gu Minghui didn't tear Lu Lingfeng's hand away, and waited until Lu Lingfeng found out by himself before hurriedly taking it away. Then he said, "I'm sorry." ”

Gu Minghui looked at this man who was five or six years younger than herself, and there was no change in her expression, but there was a warm current flowing through her heart. It may be that she has not been in love for too long, and she will always be sensitive to some actions and things, especially to the person she likes, and the other party's every move will tug at her heartstrings that have been static for many years.

"Do you believe that there are ghosts in the world?" Suddenly, Lu Lingfeng came and asked an inconsequential question, interrupting Gu Minghui's thoughts. Let the slightly restless heart suddenly regain its calm.

"I guess only you believe there will be such a thing." Gu Minghui said disdainfully.

"You don't believe it! Then I'll tell you, there really is! We are science, not superstition. But don't be afraid, we are in two worlds with them, and it is very difficult to meet. ”

Gu Minghui immediately made a stop gesture: "Stop, you wait for Steve here, I still have something to go back." ”

After Gu Minghui finished speaking, she stood up and walked straight out. Lu Lingfeng said softly behind him: "I know that you don't believe it, but there will be a day when you believe it." ”

At night, Gu Minghui lay on the bed, thinking about the scene with Lu Lingfeng during the day. She was a little conflicted in her heart, she didn't know why she liked this big boy, maybe because he was sunny and handsome, or maybe he was straightforward and unpretentious to herself. Unlike these people in the company, everyone wears a mask, one on their lips and one on their hearts. In the end, she suddenly thought of the last sentence that Lu Lingfeng said during the day, "I know that you don't believe it, but there will be a day when you believe it." Although Lu Lingfeng's voice was not loud at that time, she still heard it, and now that she thought about it, she couldn't help but be a little scared, she quickly covered her head with the quilt, leaving only two nostrils to breathe outside.

"The vast Orion Cloud, ups and downs of life. Don't be a Taoist heaven and earth, just want to be by your side. Wushan's dream of remnants, the ladyboy love of the broken bridge. If you have no guesses for your body and mind, go to the end of the world as you wish"
