Kai Ming looked up at the wall clock, it was already eleven o'clock in the evening, he came out of the study, the living room was lit up, the TV was still noisy, but Angel was lying on the sofa and sleeping soundly.

She seems to be a woman who is at ease with what comes her way.

Kaiming turned off the TV, grabbed a quilt from the room, and covered her. The dog outside was barking again, and the sleeping Angel frowned, much to Kaimin's annoyance, and he rushed to the yard, climbed over the one-meter-high flowers, and slammed the neighbor's doorbell.

The aluminum door opened, and a man entered, dressed in a turtleneck, with morbidly thin hands and feet, messy hair, and a pair of heavy eyelid eyes blinking intently.

"Hey, your dog keeps barking and won't let people sleep. Cumming shouted at him.

The man was silent, as if facing the air.

Kaiming was going to be angry, but when he came out of such a guy, he couldn't mention his anger.

"Who's yelling outside the door?" came a woman in a thick nightgown, her hair curled up like waves, and a cigarette in her mouth.

She saw Kaiming, the corners of her eyes turned up, and her slightly chubby body leaned against the edge of the door frame, "Yo, isn't this the neighbor who lives on the other side?

She smiled slightly, holding a cigarette in one hand and putting the other hand on Kaiming's shoulder, completely unconcerned about her husband next to her.

Chemin took a step to the side, letting her hands go free.

"Your dog has been barking, please restrain yourself. ”

When the woman heard this, her face changed greatly, her high heels kicked to the side, and her husband rolled down the steps of the door, "Useless things, don't hurry up and get the dog into the house." ”

The man got up trembling and limped into the house.

There were only two people left at the door, and the woman had no scruples, leaning on Kai Ming while spitting a cigarette, causing him to hurry back to his backyard.

The woman burst into laughter and shouted at him, "Come and visit the door often when you have time." ”

The night had become quiet, and Keming was finally able to sleep soundly. The next morning, he left a breakfast for Angel, who was sleeping on the couch, and then hurried out with his briefcase.

As the car exited the courtyard, he saw a white flag hanging on a lamppost, which was waving in the wind and standing out against the gray sky.

The National Day has long passed, and there is no day worth celebrating recently, so why hang the buntings? When the car approached, he looked up and saw that it was not a bunting, but a whole dog skin.

Its head is upturned into the sky, its front paws are tied with ropes around the elbow of the lamppost, and its hind legs and tail hang down, allowing the entire fur to spread.

Seeing this surprised scene, Kaiming's scalp began to tingle.

It's a rich dog, where have you seen it? By the way, it's exactly the same as the pesky dog in the neighborhood.

"What are you doing? Early in the morning, I made this kind of evil thing to scare people. Kaiming looked at his watch, he didn't have time to bother with such idle things, and the car continued to drive forward.

Assistant Liu Mei reported that during an afternoon visit, she found her boss holding a necklace in a daze, so she knocked on the table.

"What's that?"

Kaiming came back to his senses and put the necklace in his pocket, "It's nothing, it's a souvenir I bought in Egypt." ”

Liu Mei continued to report, "Vice President Jiang invited you to visit her company, Jiang's Group. ”

"It stands to reason that the Jiang Group invested money in us, and they should come to visit our company, why do you want me to go to their company, are you mistaken?"

Liu Mei opened the memo and looked at it carefully, "No, it must be her who invited you." ”

"Can I not go?" Kai Ming tried to ask, he had the impression that Jiang's Group was a paper-making company, and he felt great when he heard that he had just been on the list of the world's top 50 companies, but what about a small citizen like him? He didn't want to accept unnecessary invitations.

Liu Mei shrugged her shoulders and said: "Jiang's Group is our big customer, if you don't give them face, then the bonuses of our company's employees may be in vain." ”

Damn face, evil capital, Kaiming kept cursing, but when the time came, he left the company as scheduled to go to the appointment.

Large companies are different, there is a special car to pick up, there is a feeling of being an important person. But he never expected that there was a red sports car parked in front of the company, and a beautiful woman poked her head out of the car and said to him: "Kaiming, get in the car." ”

"Vice President Jiang......"

"Call me Yan'er, my friends call me that. ”

Friend?When did you become friends with her?Kaiming touched the back of his head, "I'm sorry for you to run by yourself." ”

Jiang Yan smiled, "I happened to pass through here, so I will take you along the way." ”

Kaiming got into the car and just put on his seatbelt when the sports car rushed forward with a roar. Oh my God, can you slow down? He secretly sweated.

In the distance, you can see a skyscraper towering over the river, its unique curly twist structure, the top floor of the minaret, attracting Kaiming's attention.

Jiang Yan took the guests to visit the 80th floor, where she usually works, the office is spacious and bright, the decoration is simple and stylish, there are no luxury furnishings, it can be seen that she is a pragmatic person.

Kaiming has been to other large companies, they usually get expensive items in the office to show off, commonly known as rushing to the storefront, he has seen a nouveau riche company with a bottle of 99 pounds of golden bulls.

When passing by the president's office, Kaiming took a special look, and the place inside was empty.

Jiang Yan noticed his curiosity, "My dad doesn't like to stay in the office, so he rarely comes to the company's headquarters. ”

Kai Ming said as he walked: "I have heard his legendary deeds, a teenager who dropped out of school at the age of thirteen to work, through hard work, and finally achieved a business empire, this kind of deeds alone can teach those rich second generations a good lesson." ”

"You're making fun of me?"

"No, I'm saying those idle rich second generations, Miss Jiang definitely doesn't belong to their category. "Oh no, will she cancel the cooperation in a fit of rage?

Jiang Yan looked at him and said, "Call me Yan'er." ”

"Uh, Yan'er. ”

She covered her mouth and smiled, and Keming could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

"Do you know what the Jiang Group makes money on?" she asked suddenly.

"Papermaking. Even if you catch a random person on the street, you can answer.

She pulled him away, "I'll show you the paper factory." ”

Come on, people don't want to go. Kai secretly spit out bitterness, but she is a big money owner, so she can only obey her fate.

In the workshop, a row of heavy machines kept running, and walking in the passage felt a little noisy, Jiang Yan often leaned into Kaiming's ear to explain, even a layman like him figured out the process of turning a piece of wood into paper.

Jiang Yan's phone rang suddenly, and the scene was noisy, so she told Kaiming to wait in place, and then go outside to answer the phone.

Watching the machines go on and off was boring, and Cumin found a large pool of water on the opposite side, soaked in white pulp.

He walked over to the iron parapet and looked down at the pond, which was at least a hundred square meters in size and more than one story high.

"What are you doing?" said an uncle, who suddenly appeared behind him.

The uncle was wearing blue overalls and holding a long stick in his hand, and he should be a staff member at the scene. He noticed that Keming had been frozen in place, so he pointed to a warning sign that read: Non-staff, please do not cross the yellow line.

"I'm very familiar with your vice president, so let's be accommodating. Cumming approached him.

The uncle stirred the pool with a long stick and said, "Boy, don't you often disobey the rules? This is not good, sooner or later it will bring danger to others and to yourself, you see, there are machines all around, and if you are not careful, you will get involved in it, and when you come out, you will be crushed into pieces of paper." ”

Kai Ming smiled, "The rules are dead, people are alive, we can't abide by the rules, people live to break the old rules, follow other people's routines and follow their own lives, it's better to jump off the building." ”

The uncle glanced at him, "There are no rules, just like the production process of paper, if we don't strictly follow the rules, how can we have a high-quality paper." ”

"You can't make high-quality paper, you can make straw paper. ”

The uncle shook his head, "We use paper for paper." ”

"Why not a papyrus?"

"Low margins. The uncle said, "Only small factories without technology will go to that job, and upper-level enterprises like us certainly occupy high-profit areas." ”

Kaiming smiled, "You live by the rules, you rely on the security it brings, and you don't know you're in danger. ”

At this time, Jiang Yan returned to the workshop and found that Kai Ming had crossed the safety line, and she was about to walk, but the uncle glanced at her, so she hid in a corner and quietly listened to what they were talking about.

"Boy, what do you mean by that?"

Kaiming replied: "Now is the age of electronic networks, human demand for paper books and newspapers is decreasing, maybe in ten years physical books will disappear, and the Jiang Group will also go out of business." ”

The uncle was stunned, "This is a bit alarmist, although paper sales have been shrinking in recent years, but it will not disappear completely, right?"

"When the mobile phone came out, the pager fell, when the musket appeared, the sword was written into the history books, when the sun fell, the darkness descended on the earth......" Kai Ming collapsed his face, approaching step by step, the uncle retreated to the edge of the pool, and then took a step back to the deep abyssal pool.

"What are you going to do?" the uncle asked, and Jiang Yan, who was hiding in the corner, was also a little panicked.

Kaiming stretched out his hands and pressed his uncle's shoulders hard, "I said, you're already in danger. ”

"So what to do?"

"Make straw paper. ”

“......”

Seeing Kaiming pull the uncle back to the safe zone, Jiang Yan breathed a sigh of relief.

"You can not read the newspaper, but you can't not. Kai Ming held on to the railing and looked at the wide pool, "With all due respect, if the Jiang Group occupies the toilets all over the world, even if there is only a penny of profit per roll of straw paper, it will be an astronomical amount." ”

The uncle pondered for a moment, then nodded.

"Please, don't spread my words to Vice President Jiang's ears. ”

"Why?" the uncle was stunned by his request.

Kaiming replied in a low voice: "Because I am talking about cooperation with your company, if she knows that I am talking nonsense, maybe she will mess up the cooperation." ”
