Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Dawn of Progress

Speaking of the big events that happened to Mu Shi, I have to talk about the self-righteous daughter Zhou Qian, whose nostrils are about to soar.

This woman, to say that she is a femme fatale is a compliment to her, she is simply the most demon-like woman I have ever seen, ruthless, relying on her own industry to do evil for many years.

I fought with her when I first arrived at Mushi, at that time I was new to the society and didn't know that some invitations could not be agreed, she invited me to a small banquet as a representative of the other company, and specially told me that it was a woman's banquet, don't call Xiao Ran brother to come.

I was young and simple, and I really didn't tell Brother Xiao Ran when I got off work, and I borrowed Mu Cheng's makeup bag to go to the bathroom and pretended to apply grease and powder to my face. When I went to the banquet, I realized that this was a woman's banquet, it was simply ...... Longtan Tiger's Den!

In the huge living room, there were no less than ten shirtless tattooed strong men, five or six women in a circle talking and laughing, as soon as they saw me come in, their eyes turned to me, I paused at the door, ready to act at the opportunity, and then Zhou Qian twisted towards me, yes, like a snake spirit, twist.

Although her movements were gentle, gentle and moving, but I only felt extremely pretentious, frowning and breaking free from her hands and turning around to leave, but she seemed to know my thoughts, and remained silent, but her subordinates used their strength to drag me to the middle of the group, handed me a glass of wine and said: "Don't the manager is here, then have a glass of wine, otherwise the people outside will think that my eldest lady of the Zhou family is not hospitable." After that, he pretended to be coquettish and threw me a wink that would make me vomit three meals.

I didn't want to entangle with her, and I didn't want to offend, because the company had a very large cooperation project with Sihai Group at that time, and I didn't dare to mess up the business of hundreds of millions of dollars.

I reached for the glass of wine, but I was reluctant to drink it, and tried to pour it while she was unprepared, but her hand quickly shook my wrist and forced me to drink it. A voice popped into my head, 'Run'!

I didn't know what kind of medicine it was, the effect came so quickly, I had just run a few steps before a few strong men behind me caught up, two of them held me up, my feet off the ground, I only felt that my limbs were sore, even if my feet did not leave the ground, I am afraid it would be useless......

Zhou Qian smiled at me, that smile was very vicious, and I couldn't describe it.

I heard myself ask her in a trembling voice, "What do you want to do?" ”

She probably thought I was scared, and she had a smug smile on her face, and after laughing, she stared at me viciously and said, "What do I want to do?" I can't explain to you what I want to do! ”

She smiled wickedly and waved her hand, and the two strong men carried me to a dark hut next to the venue, and after throwing me on the sofa, they began to take off their upper clothes, and when they began to take off their pants, I almost cried......

Suddenly, a glimmer of light flashed on the door, and the door was quickly opened from the outside, and Barbie came in, followed by her boyfriend, the handsome guy with long legs, I can't tell why, my heart fell to the ground, and I was relieved.

She screamed and threw herself at me, turning her head and shouting at the handsome man, "Don't tell your men to get out of here!" ”

My mind was a mess, I couldn't think about anything, her embrace made me feel safe, I quickly lost consciousness, and when I woke up again, there was only Brother Xiao Ran and Xiao Lazy with a concerned face left next to the bed.

I don't know what happened in the end, but I was lying in the hospital unharmed, and I could be sure that it was Barbie who saved me, and as for why the first thing I saw when I woke up was not her but Xiao Ran, I have no way of knowing.

When Brother Xiao Ran told me that he had broken the contract for the business of Sihai Group, I was almost about to cry! When I grabbed the sheets with both hands and asked why, the little lazy took me in his arms.

To this day, I can still remember how hideous Zhou Qian's face was at that time, and how disgusting those two strong men were!

This time, Mu Shi had an accident, and because of that woman, I was angry when I thought about it, and after understanding the situation, I went straight to Brother Xiao Ran's office.

Yang Shuo told me that Brother Xiao Ran was in a meeting and suggested that I come back later, I didn't raise my eyes, my teeth clenched and pushed the door in, and then Yang Shuo said, I was murderous that day, and he didn't doubt at all that when he stepped forward to stop me, I would tear him off!

Scold! I didn't know that I could have such a fierce side, maybe I should show Zhuo Ou, right?

When I walked into the office, Brother Xiao Ran had already finished the phone, looked up at me, frowned slightly and asked, "Where have you been these days?" Why don't you answer the phone? ”

I didn't answer, sat on the sofa, tilted my head and asked him, "Can Zhou Qian's matter be handed over to me?" ”

Brother Xiao Ran looked at me meaningfully, and only said after a while: "I want to deal with this matter personally, of course, you can assist me." ”

"How can I help?" I almost couldn't wait to ask.

"Help me to bring down the world."

His voice was special, with a hoarse aftermath of impatience, which sounded unreal, but it made me feel very real and confident.

I suddenly wanted to laugh, looked at Brother Xiao Ran, whose face did not change, and naturally did not show weakness, nodded and asked, "What about the specific plan?" ”

His eyes turned to the computer, and he said lightly: "You go to Qi Dong, he should have made a plan, and if you don't understand anything, you can ask him." ”

"You thought I'd be going to participate?" I suddenly became interested.

"If you don't participate, you have to participate, who told you to owe me so much favor." His fingers tapped on the keyboard rapidly, and he didn't feel that there was anything wrong with playing the emotional card, and he didn't have the consciousness of distinguishing between public and private at all.

I sighed helplessly, leaning back on the back of the sofa and asking the question I had been asking for a long time, "Zhuo Ou, who is he?" ”

If I saw it correctly, Brother Xiao Ran's subordinates paused for a moment, and quickly returned to normal, just locked their eyes on my face, looked at me, and thought for a while before saying: "I don't want to answer you this question for the time being, if you want to ask, go ask him yourself after dealing with this question." ”

"I'm not going to ask him, we're done." I gritted my teeth and spat out the facts I never wanted to admit.

"It's over? Are you young people so sloppy? When you want to be together, you are tired of dying, and you don't want to be together and just leave? ”

His words were very aggressive, at least to my vital point, and when I was thinking about how to attack him, he spoke again, "Don't end a relationship easily, I loved at the beginning, and I am still in love at this time, why do you turn your face as soon as you turn around?" Can anything get to the point where there is no way to fix it? Is your relationship so ridiculous? ”

He didn't look at me when he said this, I saw him staring at the tall building in the distance, his brow furrowed deeply, as if he was talking to me, and as if he wanted to tell someone else.

I stuck out my tongue and didn't speak again, I turned around to find Vice President Qi, and when I was about to go out, he stopped me and said, "Beili, I have always regarded you as my sister, and I think I should still talk to you about some things." ”

I turned to look at him, and he continued: "I shouldn't have interfered in the affairs of you and Zhuo Ou, but I really can't stand it. I know what kind of person he is, and I also know what kind of person you are, you are not suitable, but you did not separate at the beginning, you have been persevering, since this is the case, why not continue to persevere? ”

"It's just not suitable, that's why we can't continue, we can't stick to it. You can't change your self-belief by lying to yourself, and you can't change a relationship. I said these words calmly, but my heart hurt as if I had been bitten.

I was afraid that I couldn't help but say something weird again, so I grinned and pretended to be happy, cut off, and joked, "I know! You're all for my good, I'll think about it, don't worry about me. ”

I got the plan from Vice President Qi and began to study it non-stop, the information was very well prepared, starting from the person in charge of the four seas, the directors, managers, and even the heads of various departments, the management structure was clear one by one, I read it all for two whole nights, and rushed to the airport early in the morning on the third day to meet Yang Shuo.

Yang Shuo was not surprised when he saw me at the airport, but when I caught a glimpse of him holding up the first-class ticket with a cute face, I suddenly had a lot of fun, snatched the ticket from him, went to the first-class cabin, and heard him shout behind him: "That's my ticket!" "I'm in a good mood!

My ticket is economy class, the assistant helped me book, my new assistant is a beautiful girl who has just come out of college, she actively responded to the company's slogan of saving output, and really booked me an economy class ticket, I got the ticket when I stayed up all night, and I didn't have the strength to complain about her anymore, so I could only take a taxi to the airport.

I knew that Yang Shuo would also go with me, and I also knew that Yang Shuo's ticket must have been chartered by Brother Xiao Ran, and with Brother Xiao Ran's generosity to his subordinates, there is no doubt about it.

Because it was the off-season for travel, there were almost no people in the first class, so I took my loyalty card to upgrade Yang Shuo, and then went to the economy class to bring him over.

He is a lot more restrained than before, it is said that it is because he and Brother Xiao Ran were neither big nor small, and Brother Xiao Ran demoted him to the Administration Department for a period of time and then became honest.

He chose a window seat for himself, a row away from me, and I didn't pay much attention to it, I just wanted to catch up on sleep on the plane, because as soon as we got off the plane, we would go to the drinking party, and the plan began......

To be honest, I am very disgusted with this kind of drinking party, although I still like to drink more in recent years, but this kind of drinking party is equivalent to a beauty pageant or a handsome competition, or a big guy, and no one can really get into my eyes. Of course, this is not because there are no handsome guys or beauties, but just because Yang Shuo followed me, bent his back slightly, and looked like a very little follower, but I entered with him as a male and female companion, which made me lose face.

I couldn't stand it, so with a faint smile on my face, I gritted my teeth and said to him, "Can you be like a gentleman?" The back is about to bend into a base around the shrimp, isn't it a shame? ”

He heard my voice, stunned for half a second, finally corrected his posture, held his head high but still embarrassed, I was tired and didn't have the strength to complain, urging him to take me to the sofa next to him to rest for a while, our target has not yet appeared, I can still be idle.

How do you know that as soon as he sat down and breathed a sigh of relief, Zhou Wei walked in from the entrance, and the flowery female companion beside him was wrapped around the crook of his arm, too graceful, and when Yang Shuo frowned, I had already stood up and walked slowly in that direction.

Zhou Wei is too easy to recognize, his golden hair is in deep conflict with the elegant atmosphere of the entire reception venue, but he doesn't seem to care about these at all, he takes a glass of champagne and drinks it indifferently in the center, regardless of the more or less disgusted and disdainful gazes that others glance at him.

Except for his blonde hair, his whole body is elegant, and the well-cut suit on his body looks custom-made, with the ZW logo, I suddenly feel a little familiar, and my mind keeps flooding with memories but I can't remember where I have seen it.

I walked in his direction, pretending to stumble on the woolen carpet as I walked by inadvertently, Zhou Wei really helped me with a gentlemanly demeanor, and whispered in my ear: "Be careful." The tone was indescribably ambiguous, and I felt my ears heating up, and I thanked me in a panic and walked in the direction of the bathroom.

In the mirror, my face was flushed, and the roots of my ears were the same hue, but it wasn't because of the embarrassment just now, but because I was sick.

I didn't know that my body was so weak, I propped myself on the washstand and poured cold water on my face, and after about ten minutes, the bewitching woman walked up behind me, and the mocking tone seemed to be scattered in the air, echoing.

"I'll tell you, less of Zhou Dashao's idea! He's mine! Don't think that if you let you escape last time, you will run away next time. ”

The fierceness in that tone, I still remember it vividly when I got up the next day, but I don't know what she meant by her words of escape?

That night, after washing my face, the temperature dropped a lot, I took out the small bag I was carrying to touch up my makeup, and as soon as I came out of the bathroom, I saw a person leaning against the opposite wall with blonde hair.

He raised his eyebrows and squinted at me, and casually asked, "Why are you approaching me?" ”

I frowned slightly, my heart full of discomfort from being pierced. But I didn't drink much, and my mind was fairly clear.

I smiled coldly, met his deep eyes, and asked, "Why am I approaching you?" Are people so self-righteous nowadays? Can a good-looking skin be a little conceited? ”

He was very tall, although leaning against the wall made his center of gravity lower, but he still looked at me from a downward perspective, I was stared at a little uncomfortable by him, and when I was about to leave with high heels, he suddenly said: "That thing, I'm sorry......"

Confused, I turned to stare at him twice in surprise, and then walked away impatiently.

I don't know what he meant by being sorry, and I don't know what he meant by 'that thing', because I never remembered, I met him, and I don't remember anything else going on between us. When I covered my brain and returned to my seat, Yang Shuo was anxiously looking for me, and when he saw me looking embarrassed, he thought that something terrible had happened to me, and he came forward in a hurry, like a big ant on a hot pot.

He shook my head and felt very uncomfortable, so I stood up and walked crookedly towards the exit of the venue. He quickly grabbed my arm from behind, and I shook it twice and didn't let him go.

The air on the street was a little cold, and I took a few deep breaths to clear my mind.

I asked Yang Shuo, "Did I know Zhou Wei before?" I don't remember that I participated in any of the activities and planning projects in the four seas, oh~ No, I did, and I had just arrived at Mushi at that time! But I ......."

Yang Shuo's brows furrowed, he stared at me, reached out and hailed a taxi, took me into the car, and then asked me, "What happened just now?" Have you met Zhou Wei? ”

I nodded and continued to ask him, "Do you know that I met Zhou Wei before?" ”

He was stunned for half a second, turned his head to look out the window, and said, "I don't know." ”

I vaguely felt that he was lying to me, but I couldn't find any evidence, so I could only take it seriously, just looked out the window and didn't say anything more.

The hotel was warm, I didn't feel cold in a leaky shoulder dress, I walked quickly towards the room, Yang Shuo returned to that entourage, I had no strength at all, I opened the door and said to him: "Don't come to me for nothing, I will come to you directly if I have something, don't just go out of the hotel." ”

He nodded faintly, and then entered the next room.

I was so tired that I fell asleep in less than a minute after lying in bed.

I had a long dream, and in a trance there appeared a tall man, with short black hair, a long body, standing in the snow with his back to me, and his cold voice was full of anger telling me to get out. I was a little depressed and wanted to go up to him to theorize, as soon as I walked forward, he slapped me, my face burned in the snow, my limbs fell into the snow and crawled several times before I could barely stand up, he had already walked far ahead, his steps were firm, and he didn't look back. I was like a silly woman in an idol drama, crying and screaming to go up and catch him, but I found myself stuck in the snow and frozen so cold that I couldn't move easily, and his pace was so fast, when I pulled out my foot to catch up, he had already gotten into a car on the side of the road and drove away, and I didn't know that on the snowy road, he drove so fast, and the snowflakes gave way to him, flying in the air for a long time before falling, dusty.

In my dream, I was still struggling to chase, standing on the side of the road desperately stopping a car behind me, no matter who it was, whether it was a taxi or not. I yelled at the front seat to drive, the people in the car were stunned by my yelling, and obediently followed, but the speed was not fast, and when it was time to catch up, the previous car quickly turned a corner and walked in the opposite direction of us, and the driver of my car turned out to be a rookie, and when I turned, the wheel slipped and hit the guardrail on the side of the road, I was thrown on the back seat, my head hit the door, and a sharp pain hit......

I sat up in shock, reached out and touched my forehead, and a cold sweat broke out.

Everything in the dream, so real, even the pain, I can empathize, I subconsciously reached out and touched the skin on my forehead, smooth without a protrusion, the dream just now was like an illusion, and gradually disappeared in my mind.

I got out of bed, only to feel that my tight-fitting evening dress was wrapping around my chest, so I went to the bathroom to take off my clothes and put hot water in the bath.

In the bath, the dense water vapor gradually blurred my vision, I leaned to the side, slowly watered myself, and suddenly remembered that in Zhuo Ou's house, Zhuo Ou also watered me to warm my body in this way, and I was sad for no reason.

I shouldn't think of Zhuo Ou, I can't help but want to cry when I think of him, not for anything, not for grievances, it's almost instinctive. I've only cried for such a person.

My body gradually became conscious, the water in the bathtub also cooled down, and I got up to dry my body and lay on the bed but could not sleep again.

The dream just now, remembering the things about Zhuo Ou, the words of the two people at the reception, Yang Shuo's expression, and Xiao Ran's words, all lingered in my mind in the middle of the night, and I wanted to sort out the clues, but there was no way.

I think of the Barbie doll that has passed away, and there is not a single tear left, I don't even remember, what she died for, the reason, the cause of death, the date of death, all I don't know, I just remember that I woke up and didn't see her for a long time, and I ran to ask Brother Xiao Ran, and Brother Xiao Ran told me that she had died.

At first, I thought he was joking, and I was angry that he made this kind of joke, and after a few days of temper with him, Vice President Qi also told me this, Xiao Lazy also told me, and even my father told me this, I realized that this was the real thing! I didn't even go to see her remains, to see her off for the last time, and she disappeared into my world.

The tip of my nose suddenly became a little sour, and I wanted to cry, but I couldn't.

I quickly flipped out of my computer and opened the folder where we took a photo, and it was full of photos of me and Barbie, she loves pink, and every time I took a photo with her, I was forced to wear pink clothes or bring accessories of that color, so I didn't look very happy in every photo.

I don't know when I started to like pink, my room at home, my rental house, all of them are in such a hue, I actually think it's pleasing to the eye, but when Mu Cheng first went to the house I rented, I couldn't wait to stuff three meatballs in my wide-open mouth in surprise!

In the middle of the night, I thought about some things, thought slowly, thought carefully, but some of them just lost any impression. I didn't feel bored, so I got out of bed and went to the wine cabinet to get a bottle of red wine, opened it, and poured it down from the bottle, which was a lot more comfortable.

It has been said that wine is a good thing that makes people forget their sorrows. I agree, even though a lot of the time we drink to drown our sorrows.
