Chapter 62: The Turmoil (1)
Lu Jiayi took into account Lily and Yi Zecheng's special past, and became cautious when she spoke: "She is sick, why is she still spelling like that, I have met her several times at entertainment." β
Yi Zecheng picked up the dishes with a faint expression, and there was no wave in his eyes: "She wants to gain dignity in front of Gu Tingyu." She thought that if she was independent, she could help Gu Tingyu, so that she could be different in front of Gu Tingyu. Gu Tingyu is divorced, seize this opportunity, if he is in power, he can raise his eyebrows. Her psychology is not difficult to figure out. β
Lu Jiayi couldn't help but sigh when she thought of all this. Lily probably also understands that her ideas are too naΓ―ve, but at her point, with no money, no background, and no health, where is there any hope in life?
"Is Lily going to die?"
Yi Zecheng's hand holding the chopsticks paused, and he was silent for a long time before he slowly replied: "Maybe." β
Lu Jiayi sighed.
Lu Jiayi's chopsticks flipped through the dishes, and after thinking about it, he opened his mouth: "When you meet her in the future, can you not bring it home?" β
Yi Zecheng was stunned for a moment and explained: "She is waiting downstairs, after all, she is a seriously ill patient, and she doesn't want to make an ugly fuss outside." β
"Talking at home, I'm upset. Don't stay at home in the future. β
"Okay." Yi Zecheng suddenly put down the dishes and chopsticks, raised his two hands, crossed the dining table, held Lu Jiayi's face, and forced Lu Jiayi to look at him. His tone was firm, with a hint of distress.
"Actually, it's the first time for me, I don't know which ones are minefields, I'm sorry."
Lu Jiayi's eyes turned red by his gentle tone.
When you are young, you fall in love, you love love, you fall in love more deeply than you fall in love with that person, you give everything, you destroy everything, and you lose everything in the end. Then it takes a long time to recover, and then meet the next person, and they are attracted to each other because of the fit, from the survival of one person to the life of two people.
This is the love after maturity.
......
Lily was so ill that she heard that she fainted in the elevator home, and it was the property staff who took her to the hospital. After being rescued, she stayed in the hospital, and I heard that there was no one to see her.
Thursday, Lily's birthday.
In fact, she hasn't had her birthday since she turned 30, and she doesn't like to deal with her old age head-on. With no diploma and no experience, the years are still taking away her young beauty step by step, and maybe in a few years, she will no longer have any advantage in survival.
Maybe it's because people are dying, she suddenly wants to celebrate her birthday, she is afraid that this is the last birthday, she thinks, at least in this world, there must be some good memories.
The whole ward sang birthday songs for Lily, and the atmosphere was warm, and Lily's spirit that day was extraordinary, and she was even moved to tears several times.
On the way home at night, Yi Zecheng received a call from the hospital, Lily, who was fine during the day, suddenly became critically ill at night.
Yi Zecheng immediately turned around and went back to the hospital.
The city has grown so fast, not the same as when Yi Zecheng came to college, and it was not the same as when Lily came with her bags.
In the past few years, there have been a lot of cars, and the road is like a parking lot, with all kinds of horns and lights, which makes people feel flustered.
The road was blocked for more than forty minutes, and Yi Zecheng didn't see the last side of Lily after all.
Lily's death caught everyone off guard.
Yi Zecheng informed her parents and brothers in her hometown, only to know that she had completely broken with her parents and brothers in her hometown.
took 60,000 yuan from Yi Ze's family back then, and "sold" his daughter and didn't care about her. Lily betrays her marriage and fights in the city, and is spurned by her parents and brothers, which deepens her hatred for her family.
Later, she worked hard to earn money, and her brother from her hometown came to her to ask for money to get married and build a house, but she refused, and then she broke off contact with her hometown.
At this time, she died, and her parents and brothers in her hometown were afraid that she would cause something outside, and asked them to pay for it, so they desperately shirked to take over her posthumous affairs, and even refused to let her return to her roots and bury her in the ancestral grave.
In the end, Yi Ze became the cemetery she chose and buried her in the city that made her wake up and break her dreams.
Lu Jiayi didn't know if Lily's death was good news or bad news for her.
The only woman who has contact with Yi Zecheng is gone, and she doesn't have to worry about whether they will meet Lily in the future.
The problems that my father and mother talked about suddenly became much less, but she didn't feel relaxed.
When people die and grievances disappear, will Lily and Yi Zecheng live together for a few years, will they become the cinnabar mole on Yi Zecheng's chest?
......
Essence's billion-dollar financing officially entered Lu Jiayi's company.
Invis's IPO goal within two years is like a boulder pressing on Lu Jiayi.
She relies on work to numb herself, and she has minimized her meetings with Yi Zecheng recently, and she doesn't know what to say to him when she meets. When nothing happens? But so much happened.
Financing came in, and Lu Jiayi finally launched the plan for the living hall.
She made a big change to the original concept. She wants to use the living hall as a cultural center, make a garment business district, circle a piece of land, build a commercial area, and attract a lot of investment.
β¦β¦
Innwest's billion-dollar financing is not a small amount. A total of three times into Lu Jiayi's company.
Because there are regulations on the time for follow-up payments to the company, Lu Jiayi borrowed a lot of money from the bank to start the living hall plan.
The vice president was very worried about this: "If we hadn't paid the 250 million to Gu Tingyu before, we wouldn't be so stretched." β
Lu Jiayi is very optimistic about this: "From the beginning, I was not for financing, but for Gu Tingyu's big car. It turns out that my choice was right, I didn't tear my face with Gu Tingyu, spent a lot of money to buy a ticket, and I had to let him take an extra ride. β
"Now such a large amount of borrowing, if the living hall plan fails......"
Lu Jiayi interrupted the vice president: "Then don't let it lose." β
The vice president is still worried: "If the capital chain is broken in the later stage, how does Miss Lu plan to solve it?" β
Lu Jiayi thought for a while and said, "Attract investment, and then connect a capital chain." β
"For example?"
Lu Jiayi smiled, and Yi Zecheng's face appeared in his mind. She said to the vice president in a joking tone: "I, I recently found a long-term meal ticket, if one day, I really can't hold on, this company, there will always be someone to last." You can rest assured. β
Lu Jiayi's land for the living hall circle is an unfinished building that was auctioned from a real estate boss. From a businessman's point of view, this is actually quite a taboo thing.
Unfinished buildings are always bad feng shui, and feng shui will affect financial luck. No one bid, but Lu Jiayi picked up a bargain, and she got a piece of downtown land at a very good price.
Before continuing to build the building, Lu Jiayi specially found a feng shui master from Hong Kong and made some adjustments to the whole building, so as to appease those old superstitious hearts when attracting investment.
In order to gather more popularity, Lu Jiayi expanded a circle of commercial areas around the unfinished building and built a large clothing market.
As for how to attract more people to the big market to shop, Lu Jiayi took great pains.
At the company's regular meeting, Lu Jiayi gave a death order to everyone in the company, and if he didn't succeed, he would become a benevolent.
ββ¦β¦ We are now paying out of our own pockets to maintain the shuttle bus in order to attract more people to come and see, word of mouth, which is the best advertisement. As for the vice president's proposal to apply to the municipal government to build a new human-shaped flyover from the subway, I am in favor of it. The flyover leads directly to the business district, which is definitely good for us. In the later stage, you need to continue to follow up and knock on the side from the side of the large business districts to drive the economy and employment. Lu Jiayi changed a PPT and talked about the next question: "After the field trip, we felt that the location of the gate, the station was a bit far away, and the flow of people was not enough, so we needed to change the gate originally built in the north to the south, and you need to follow up on this follow-up." β
The strength of the team is always greater than the individual, and we quickly solved the shortcomings of the details of the living hall, and also raised a lot of new problems.
With the living hall as the core gimmick, the business district has truly built a clothing kingdom. And the living hall was successfully completed, thanks to the support of Le Qingzi.
She provided Lu Jiayi with a whole series of antique clothes, all of which are treasures from her pressed box, which is a retro movie series. She has collected costumes from several famous films of the 80s of the last century.
Lu Jiayi plans to start with this retro series, and introduce a gimmick in each subsequent issue, so that the living hall can truly contribute to the development of clothing culture.
As soon as Lu Jiayi got busy, she didn't care about anything.
Basically, every time Yi Zecheng appears, he has a dissatisfied face of a complaining husband.
For example, now, Yi Zecheng ordered a French meal in the evening and wanted to engage in romance, but Lu Jiayi was too busy to go, so he dragged him to eat Shaxian snacks near Lu Jiayi's company.
Yi Zecheng is not obsessed with what to eat, what he is obsessed with is this woman's neglect of him.
"Don't tell me, you're going to be so busy for the second half of the year."
"In the second half of the year, the key living hall must be only busier than the busiest."
Yi Zecheng knocked on the table, looking dissatisfied: "What about me?" β
Lu Jiayi took a sip of water and looked at him with a frown: "It's not that I want to talk about you, you are a big president, why do you think about falling in love every day?" Can't you get down to business? β
Yi Zecheng thinks this dialogue is really weird, why do you think that the male and female roles are a bit reversed?
"Can't you come out in the second half of the year?"
Lu Jiayi gobbled up, she had been hungry for a day, and there was nothing else in her mind except eating. She glanced up at Yi Zecheng, a little surprised.
"Why?"
"I want you to accompany me to solve a major life event."
Lu Jiayi coughed twice: "What's the big deal?" Is there any surgery for the growth of internal gadgets? β
ββ¦β¦ Lu Jiayi, what are you thinking about? β
Lu Jiayi smiled: "I really don't have time this year." β
Leaving Shaxian for snacks, Lu Jiayi hurried back to work overtime, but was stopped by Yi Zecheng before leaving.
"Do you really think I need surgery?" Yi Zecheng's face was a little dark.
Lu Jiayi looked shocked, she didn't expect that a joke could make this man remember for so long.
"No!" Lu Jiayi broke free of Yi Zecheng, jumped out of two steps briskly, glanced back at him, and said meaningfully: "...... After all, it's not young, and if you have time, you can ...... it with medicine."
"Lu! Good! Suitable! β
The construction of the commercial area takes a long time, and the planning of the living hall is determined, and the introduction of the surrounding commercial street brand is still a problem. In addition to the regular brand, there are other things to be attracted by the company.
Lu Jiayi is not a radical, but among similar brands, she is indeed the fastest expanding. The whole company will be afraid that expansion will bring bubbles, whether it is the original brand, production line or the latest commercial project, all of them have put up 120 percent energy.
For the recent very smooth development, Lu Jiayi always has some faint uneasiness. I don't know if a woman's sixth sense is really strong, Lu Jiayi's uneasiness was quickly confirmed.
Before the business district began to make money, something happened first, and the assistant hurriedly returned to the company and reported to Lu Jiayi the problem in the commercial area under construction: "A worker was absent from work during work...... I went to the place of sound, but I don't know why I died suddenly on the way back, and now my family members are at our construction site, pulling banners to make trouble, asking us to pay money, and threatening to call the media. β
"It's not our problem either. Give you a pension. β
"The company offered a pension, 100,000, but they were too little."
Lu Jiayi frowned: "How much do they want?" β
"Six hundred thousand."
"Heh, then let their family call the media." Lu Jiayi's expression was serious, and there was hardly a little disgust in his eyes: "Is it our responsibility to be absent from work?" He recruited a prostitute and died suddenly, was it a work-related death? Since they are neither, why should we be afraid of them? β
"Miss Lu, that's not what you said." The assistant was a little worried: "Now they are making a lot of noise on our construction site. The commercial area that has not yet opened, there is this kind of scandal, which is very bad for our brand. The omen is not good. β
Seeing that he couldn't convince Lu Jiayi, the assistant called the vice president again, and the vice president was also very worried about this: "Public opinion is so terrible, the current media are all poor and reasonable, money is the original sin, if it makes a big fuss, we can't tell it even if we have a mouth." β
Lu Jiayi has always distinguished between good and evil, and will never back down on principled issues, she was so angry that she dropped the pen in her hand: "Money can be given, but the name must be clear, it is a humanitarian pension." This is the first time our company has encountered this, and we should be more serious, and we can't make a bad start, making people think that we are soft persimmons, and we will give money when we pull a banner, thinking that I am opening a good church? β
Lu Jiayi took the bag and was about to go to the construction site: "If you want to file a lawsuit, I welcome it, and I will get involved with them by making trouble and asking for money!" β
Compared with the hesitation of the person in charge of the construction site, Lu Jiayi was much more decisive.
The white banners on the scene are pasted everywhere, which makes people feel a little worried when they see it. Lu Jiayi frowned and glanced at the chaotic scene, and reprimanded the person in charge: "What's the matter, why didn't you call the police?" β
The person in charge bowed his head resignedly: "I'm afraid that the police will come, and the trouble will be big, and the media will follow." β
"Isn't the media coming now?"
"We closed the gates."
Lu Jiayi laughed angrily at his words: "In this era, who doesn't have a mobile phone?" Who wouldn't tweet? Afraid that the media won't see it? Hit 110! Horse! Above! β
Lu Jiayi is not afraid of things, on the contrary, as a woman, she has always felt that it is best to endure it if she can endure it, and to calm things down, but she really hates that the wicked sue first and is insatiable. The vice president and assistant were worried about Lu Jiayi's resolute move. After all, barefoot people are not afraid of wearing shoes, and they are afraid that there will be bigger trouble in the future. In fact, Lu Jiayi is not afraid, but she always feels that such a crooked trend cannot be started in her hands.
Back at the company, Lu Jiayi continued to work with her head down, I don't know if it was because she was too tired or didn't sleep well, and her eyelids jumped all afternoon.
At six o'clock in the evening, Lu Jiayi felt too tired, and there were some flowers in front of her, so she didn't work overtime. As soon as he walked out of the company and found that it was raining outside, Lu Jiayi's mood instantly went down with the weather.
The rain in early summer is always accompanied by a panicked sultry heat, Lu Jiayi went back to the office to get an umbrella, and as soon as he entered, he received a call from Yi Zecheng.
"Did you get off work? Eating together? Yi Zecheng could hear the sound of the rain over there: "It's raining, come to pick you up?" β
Lu Jiayi looked down from the office building, and during the rush hour, the main road was blocked into a parking lot.
"Don't come here, it's not like it's stuck outside." Lu Jiayi glanced at the time: "Where to eat?" β
Yi Zecheng did not respond to Lu Jiayi's suggestion, and asked her worriedly: "Did you drive?" β
"Don't drive, at this point, it's faster to take the subway."
Yi Zecheng heard that Lu Jiayi didn't drive, and regardless of whether she agreed or not, he replied directly with two words: "Wait for me." β
So domineering, so strong. As he usually looks, a straight man has advanced cancer, but at this moment, Lu Jiayi didn't feel annoyed.
Lu Jiayi originally went downstairs to the lobby to wait for Yi Zecheng, but remembered that his wallet was left in the car, pressed the elevator again, and went to B2.
Lu Jiayi took the car keys and walked to his parking space. I don't know why, the lights in her parking space are all black, and it seems that there is a problem with the circuit. Usually there is no one in the parking lot, and I don't feel anything when I walk over, but at this moment, it is so dark, Lu Jiayi still feels a little infiltrated, and unconsciously sped up her pace.
Lu Jiayi's high heels made a clicking sound on the ground, and Lu Jiayi walked and walked, feeling that the sound of footsteps had changed from a simple sound of high heels to a reverberation of soft soles stepping on the ground.
The black shadow flickered in front of him, Lu Jiayi turned around suddenly, and the hideous and terrifying faces of the two men appeared in front of Lu Jiayi at such close range. It was dark, and another man attacked from behind and covered Lu Jiayi's mouth, and Lu Jiayi couldn't move.
Lu Jiayi's eyes widened and she looked at the person in front of her.
The man smiled wickedly.
"Miss Lu, what a coincidence, we met again."
Lu Jiayi saw that the situation was not right, and struggled to escape, but how could her small body be compared to three tough guys who had been doing manual work for a long time?
The three men dragged Lu Jiayi into a darker corner together, and Lu Jiayi knew that if he was dragged away at this time, the consequences would be unimaginable. She struggled to lift her leg and kicked a few times in the air, trying to kick her own car and try to trigger the burglar alarm by ramming, but the man had more force and strangled Lu Jiayi's neck, making her almost suffocate.
Lu Jiayi knew that she couldn't escape today, and her eyes were closed.
I thought to myself, the 29th birthday has not yet passed, and it can be regarded as a fateful arrangement.
"Where are you taking her?"
In the quiet parking lot, a male voice suddenly appeared, breaking through the original terrifying silence and making Lu Jiayi's already desperate eyes open again.
In the dark environment, Lu Jiayi struggled to identify the silhouette of the person in front of him.
She didn't dream, Yi Zecheng's familiar face that didn't need to be traced appeared at this moment, and Lu Jiayi felt that she was almost crying.
Yi Zecheng glanced coldly at the scene in front of him. Without any panic, he pulled his tie, unbuttoned his suit, and clenched his fists with both hands, and the joints of his bones crunched to show his unspeakable anger.
"Don't move." Yi Zecheng's eyes sank, and he smiled fiercely: "My fist, come to feel it." β
Without waiting for the three of them to react, Yi Zecheng had already knocked down the man closest to him quickly and accurately, his moves were calm, his shot was sharp, and with a reverse cut, he clasped the man's hand on his back. The man was pressed against the car glass by Yi Zecheng, unable to move, babbling and screaming.
When the two people in his group saw Yi Zecheng's skills, the atmosphere instantly became tense, and he warned Yi Zecheng fiercely: "I warn you, don't move, if you come over again, don't blame me for being rude!" β
As he spoke, he strangled Lu Jiayi's arm harder, and Lu Jiayi felt a sharp pain in his neck, and his throat seemed to be stuck to his vertebrae, which made Lu Jiayi feel a feeling of suffocation. The man strangled Lu Jiayi and stepped back, Lu Jiayi was dragged by him, the shoes on his feet were loose, and they fell off, Lu Jiayi's heels rubbed against the cement floor, and the pain of skin and flesh friction came in bursts. He stepped back to their old van and winked at his companion who was still free. The man pulled out two sixty or seventy centimeter-long steel pipes from under the car, Lu Jiayi's eyes widened, looking at everything in front of him, and finally realized that the matter was getting more and more serious.
Yi Zecheng glanced at the two men opposite, he calmly ripped off his tie and neatly tied the man's hand behind the cut, the man broke free a few times and couldn't break free, and he didn't dare to shout for help, but he kept trying to escape.
He looked at his companions for help, but no one came to his aid. At this moment, several people were so nervous about each other.
"Let her go." Yi Zecheng pulled the man to the side and said calmly: "One for one." β
The two of them glanced at Lu Jiayi, and then at the accomplice who was caught by Yi Zecheng, and said viciously: "Can we have such a cheap life as Miss Lu?" If we don't let him go, do you dare to kill him? You rich people! It's more afraid of death than us! β
ββ¦β¦ Bang-" Yi Zecheng took advantage of the man's distraction to speak, and with a heavy push, he directly smashed the man he tied up at the kidnapper who was still free.
The two men looked at their companions who were suddenly smashed over, and subconsciously wanted to pick them up, the man who grabbed Lu Jiayi's hand was scraped by the impact force, one was in pain, and as soon as he let go, Yi Zecheng had already taken the opportunity to pull Lu Jiayi back entirely.
When those people saw that Lu Jiayi was rescued by Yi Zecheng, they immediately reacted and rushed up.
"Run!" Yi Zecheng shouted loudly, and kicked the steel pipe on the ground in the direction where Lu Jiayi was, so that those people couldn't pick up the weapon.
