Xiao Zhang's car drove very fast.

After a while, he arrived at the apartment arranged by Xu Chenrui for Lin Zi.

At the beginning, Lin Zi wanted to refuse his kindness, firstly, because he was worried that he had caused him enough trouble, and he was afraid that he would not be able to repay him in the future.

Second, it is precisely because she knows Xu Chenrui's thoughts about herself that she is afraid that the apartment he arranged for her is with his own apartment, if it is really like that, she will be even more embarrassed.

However, it turns out that Lin Zi thought a lot.

I have to say that Xu Chenrui is really a gentleman.

The apartment he arranged for Lin Zi was very close to Lin's, but it was also very quiet, the environment of the community was very good, very hidden, and the safety equipment was also perfect.

When he arrived at the gate of the community, Xiao Zhang got out of the car and moved his luggage for Lin Zi, and Lin Zi expressed his gratitude to Xu Chenrui.

When Jack saw Lin Zi get out of the car, he was also ready to move, and wanted to get out of the car with Lin Zi, but was stopped by Xu Chenrui.

"Why are you holding me?"

Jack looked at Xu Chenrui with a puzzled expression.

"You have somewhere else to live."

“Why？”

"It's nothing, there is only one bed in her apartment, you are lonely, I don't worry."

"I can sleep on the couch. I don't want to be separated from Lin. ”

"You have another place to live, Xiao Zhang drives."

Before Jack could continue to refute, Zhang had already driven away.

Lin Zi stood at the gate of the community, looking at the vehicles in the distance, and could only silently pray for Jack.

After Lin Zi moved her luggage to the apartment, she found that Xu Chenrui had moved all the things she had left here into this apartment.

Lin Zi opened the suitcase and took out the photo frame.

In the frame, it is a photo taken by a family of three on Lin Zi's eighteenth birthday.

When she was abroad, every time she felt that she couldn't persevere, when she saw her parents' bright smiles in this photo, she felt that everything was not so bitter.

After packing her things, she went out to the company.

She has never forgotten what she returned to China for.

At the beginning, she asked Uncle Lu to manage the company's affairs instead of her, and after all, it should be closed this year.

When he was studying abroad, Uncle Lu called several times to ask when Lin Zi would return to China, and from his tone, Lin Zi knew that the Lin family was in a stalemate at the moment, and it was not easy to restore the grand occasion of the year.

And Uncle Lu, as the acting president, is not good at making decisions about everything, so he has to wait for Lin Zi to come back.

In the past five years, Uncle Lu has lived up to his trust, kept the Lin family in an orderly manner, and gradually walked out of the scandal of the suicide of the Lin couple back then.

It was as hot as the sun was going down. The sunlight shining on the glass curtain walls of those tall buildings is even more dazzling.

Lin Zi felt it as soon as he went out.

There will probably be a thunderstorm tonight.

She was in a hurry, she didn't take an umbrella, she just wanted to go back to the company now.

When she came to the door of the company, the word Lin was still standing on the building, but it had been five years and was a little old.

The front desk of the company didn't know Lin Zi and didn't let Lin Zi go upstairs, so Lin Zi had to call Uncle Lu.

"Hey, Uncle Lu."

"Is it Xiao Zi?"

"It's me, Uncle Lu, I've returned to China, I'm downstairs in the company now, but the front desk doesn't know me, won't let me go up, you let the secretary come down and pick me up."

"Xiao Zi, you are back, I will come down immediately."

After hanging up the phone, Lin Zi sat down in the lobby.

The lobby is full of people, nothing has changed, but nothing is different.

Soon, Uncle Lu and his secretary came out of the elevator.

The moment the front desk saw Uncle Lu, he immediately turned straight and shouted, "Mr. Lu is good." ”

"Xiao Zi!"

"Uncle Lu!"

Lin Zi stepped forward.

"Let Uncle take a good look, you can be regarded as coming back, I can finally hand over the group to you, today you go to familiarize yourself with the affairs, tomorrow, I will officially introduce you to the board of directors, by the way, this is Fu Yanshen, the current position is the president's secretary, and then he will follow you, he is your father's trusted assistant before his death, if you don't understand anything, you can ask him."

Uncle Lu said as he introduced the young man in a suit and leather shoes next to him to Lin Zi.

"Hello Miss Lin."

The man had clear eyebrows, wore a pair of glasses, had a tall figure, slender legs, and looked as old as Lin Zi.

"Secretary Fu is good."

Lin Zi bowed slightly at Fu Yanshen.

Uncle Lu took Lin Zi upstairs.

Each department is spread across different floors, with the president's office on the top floor.

Lin Zi remembers asking his father when he was a child why he set his office on such a high floor, and every time he went to the office, he felt so far away.

To this day, she remembers that her father said that it was because she could observe others without being seen.

People in high positions have always wanted others to observe their lives.

Lin Zi didn't understand those truths when she was a child, but now, she gradually understands.

Uncle Lu's previous office was in his original office, and he didn't borrow his father's office, Lin Zi was very grateful to him, she knew that Uncle Lu respected his father.

That office has not been used for five years.

However, the cleaning staff still cleans every day.

When she opened the door, memories flooded back her mind.

It's cleaned every day, but everything here is getting old—the pink walls, the brown windows, the cream-white desks, the milky white tiles...... It's all the same things she is familiar with as her own handprints, why is it so old......

Thinking about it, it should be old, this office building was moved in when she was seven years old, and in a blink of an eye, almost twenty years have passed like water, there have been many whirlpools and beautiful foam on the water, but the water is rushing, and nothing is left......

This office was her childhood playground. How many times did she hide under the big table, so that her father could find it. On the milky filing cabinet, there were still shallow marks she had drawn with a pencil......

She rested her head on the back of her chair, silently surveying the familiarity.

After a long time, Lin Zi walked to the windowsill, and she looked underneath, everything became as small as ants.

This is the tenth floor, and below is the bustling business district, which is crowded with people, just like the sea, the inky black sea...... There is no bottom...... There was no sound either......

The wind forced over like a pair of hot hands, covering her face, holding and pinching, she couldn't breathe, and leaned forward. The sea below was nearer, tempting her with a heavy sink.

A small nail tip was bubbling out of the window lattice, with a tuft of beige velvet hanging from it, shaking its head and sighing in the wind.

She reached out and caught it.

She recognized that she had knitted the sweater for her father. The first time she knitted a sweater, she was going to give it to her father as a gift for Christmas, but she didn't knit it so slowly that it wasn't finished until his father's birthday in May and gave it to him.

The father was happy like a child, and praised the beauty again and again, saying that it was a pity that the weather was already hot, and I was afraid that it would take half a year to wear it......

But in the end, he didn't put it on.

A whirlwind of heaven swirled up, and she jerked back.

When she was abroad, she thought she could gradually become numb.

However, returning to this familiar place, she could no longer suppress the pain in her heart.

She still remembered that she was holding her father's cold body, and the coldness almost froze her heart, and she hugged her father and cried: "Dad! What do you tell me to do? What do you tell me to do? Daddy......"

Her father, who loved her, could never answer her, and she wept in fear and despair until she could not make a sound......

She knew that from now on she would never have the right to cry again.

From now on, all weakness and all tears can only be swallowed in the heart.

There was no one to shelter her from the wind and rain anymore, and she had to carry a burden that her father could not bear.

She is not qualified to dwell on the past, she is not qualified to cry, she must be strong and not live up to her parents' expectations.

She straightened her back and subconsciously stroked her hand towards the phone. A string of familiar numbers is at your fingertips.

The heart-wrenching pain came up again, she was really going crazy! The revenge of killing the father is not shared!

Suddenly, a rapid phone rang.

It's an intercom on the desk.

Lin Zi picked it up, "Hey? ”

"Xiao Zi, it's me."

"Uncle Lu, what's wrong?"

"Secretary Fu just told me that someone on the board of directors is selling shares."

"Sell shares? What's going on? ”

"It's not clear, it seems that someone bought Lin's shares at a high price and tried to annex them, and they offered the directors a price that they couldn't refuse."

"Why did the directors say yes? Anyway, the Lin family is also everyone's. ”

Lin Zi was a little anxious, she didn't expect to encounter such a thing as soon as she returned to China.

She didn't even have jet lag.

But she knew that she did not have time to rest and that she had to block the acquisition of shares.

The Lin family is her father's lifelong inheritance, and he handed it over to herself, and she can't let her father down.

"Xiaozi, Uncle Lu won't hide it from you, in fact, our Lin family's stock price has been falling since the scandal broke out, and I managed to maintain its balance, but in the past five years, the company has actually been unable to make ends meet, showing a state of deficit, and those directors probably also think that Lin's is going to fall, so they took the opportunity to sell their shares."

"Uncle Lu, can you help me convene a shareholders' meeting today? I don't want to wait until tomorrow. ”

"Okay, I'll let you know now."

"I'm sorry for you, Uncle Lu."

After hanging up the phone, Lin Zi sat down on the chair, sweating on his forehead.

She felt her heart plummet, into the bottomless abyss, and the cold sweat in her heart broke out again. She leaned on the table, and her heart was also weak.

Her palms were also wet with sweat.

She turned on her father's computer and checked the Lin family's accounts in the past few years.

The dense numbers made Lin Zi a little dizzy for a while.

Sure enough, a thunderstorm began to fall, and the house suddenly became dark. Take a hundred plating, and read the latest chapter of "The Centripetal Direction of the Star: The Way Home, Claw Bookstore" for the first time.
