The other end of the city - New York, USA

The sky is a colorful beauty, and the afterglow of the setting sun gently sweeps across the earth like a gentle veil, releasing the last afterglow and bringing a soft touch of beauty to this busy city.

On the top floor of the towering luxury building, a slender oriental man stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, looking at the last touch of red in the sky, as if admiring the last rays of the sun, but there was a trace of loneliness and loneliness on his handsome face.

Suddenly, the man took out from his pocket a round golden pocket watch, which was delicately engraved and fastened by a thin chain of pure gold.

Looking at the shiny pocket watch in his hand, the past events in the depths of those memories came flooding back.

It was a flowery spring, a pink girl followed the adults to his house, as soon as he entered the house, the adults were busy playing mahjong, telling him to take care of this fairychild-like girl, but he was very nervous and helpless when he had never communicated with the girl.

But the girl was very bold and lively, took the initiative to take his hand, and called her brother affectionately. At first, he was at a loss, but after listening to her call more times, he slowly began to accept the title, and he was not so reserved about her.

Later, the two played a game that simulated the marriage of adults, and the girl said that she was going to be the bride, and he was her groom, but in the process of exchanging rings, because there was no ring, the girl thought hard for a long time, and then contributed her pocket watch, assuming that it was a ring, and he contributed his tie clip, also assuming that it was a ring for the bride.

Afterwards, the two happily exchanged "rings".

Now, the girl may have forgotten the game, but he has never forgotten. Because since then, he has fallen deeply in love with this girl who is five years younger than himself, and looks forward to the day when she will truly become his bride.

The thumb gently rubbed back and forth on it, as if rubbing the rare treasures of the world, so careful, so cautious.

"It would be nice if I could hide you in my pocket, too!" The man looked affectionately at the pocket watch in his hand, as if he saw the little face that he had been thinking about day and night through it.

After saying it helplessly, he sighed softly.

Over the years, many things have changed in the world, but what has remained constant is the deep affection for her and the pocket watch in her hand.

Knock knock, there was a knock on the door.

"Come in!" The man said in a low voice, and then reluctantly put the pocket watch into his pocket.

The door opened, and in came a middle-aged man in a suit, with a flat head and gold-rimmed glasses.

"President, everything is going well in Paris! Kylie shoots tonight! The man bowed his head slightly and said respectfully.

This result seemed to be expected by the handsome man, he didn't show too much excitement, but the corners of his mouth hooked slightly, raised his eyes, looked at the purple and red sky, and after a long time, he faintly spit out: "Zhengping, there is a good show tonight!" ”

The words were surprisingly flat, as if they were talking about what to eat tonight.

The handsome man who spoke was the president of the Ling Group, a legend in the American jewelry industry - Ling Xiao, who was thirty years old and currently unmarried.

And the Zhengping in his mouth is his right-hand man, forty this year, his mind is quite bright, he is rigorous, and his means are clever, and many things that are inconvenient for him to come forward are all handled by this special assistant.

For example, this time when designing Shangguan Nan, Ling Xiao never appeared once, never left New York, and never took the initiative to contact anyone.

Zhengping is Ling Xiao's right-hand man, since he took over the Ling Group, Zhengping has followed him all the way, he has a lot of trust in this assistant, almost all his things, Zhengping basically knows, even including feelings, of course, Zhengping is also very loyal to the master, respects the master, and never exceeds half a point.

The ancients said: A thousand armies are easy to obtain, but a general is hard to find.

This is very suitable for Ling Xiao, if it were not for this fierce general, he would not have been able to do a good job in the fiercely competitive United States.

As if accustomed to his blandness, Zhengping, who was full of fine eyes, was not surprised, crossed his hands in front of him, and said very firmly: "The president is wise!" Shangguan Nan can't run away this time! ”

Hearing Shangguan Nan's three words, Ling Xiao couldn't help but think of the past, the hatred and unwillingness buried in the depths of his heart, like mushrooms after a rain, sprung up in his heart, his palms clenched into fists, and said word by word: "You can run the monk, but you can't run the temple!" ”

Zhengping nodded in agreement, touched his slightly scumbag chin, and said proudly: "The president is right, we are in the light, he is in the dark, and then we just need to wait and see what happens, take the initiative to not move, and brake quietly!" ”

Now it seemed that they had indeed taken the lead, but Ling Xiao was not complacent, turned around, looked at Zhengping in front of him, and asked directly, "Is everything ready?" ”

"Rest assured, President! Ethan says he and his organization are on standby at any time and are at the disposal of the president! Zhengping nodded solemnly.

Ling Xiao sneered, "Hmph! Ready to call for help? They are all guys who only need money, if Shangguan Nan pays several times the money, will they still obey me? ”

Zhengping was silent.

After a while, Ling Xiao turned around again and pointed to a towering building outside the window, as if to take precautions, "Everything must be guarded, don't be afraid of 10,000, just in case, when we came, the OR Group was drowning, if we suppressed it from many ways at that time, it wouldn't be in our way now!" ”

Speaking of OR Group, Zhengping now blames himself, every time he sees the building opposite and the Ling Building, Zhengping will remember his mistake three years ago, I thought that the OR Group in danger was Ling's bag, but I didn't think it was a small strong that could not be killed, in the past three years, the originally submerged OR Group actually turned over.

As the saying goes: 30 years in Hedong, 30 years in Hexi, but OR Group is three years in Hedong and three years in Hexi.

Being able to cope with the financial crisis and steadily climb is just around the corner.

Glancing at the OR building, Zhengping quickly lowered his head, "The president has learned a lesson!" ”

Ling Xiao put down his hand, his eyes still looking at the obstructive skyscraper, "Let's be cautious, Shangguan Nan is not an easy master to deal with, show me the one who is in charge of finances, I don't want the problem to be on him!" ”

"The president is right, I'll explain!"

After Zhengping finished speaking, he quickly left the office.

At this time, the sky gradually darkened, and the bustling city in the distance also dimmed, and the dark red clouds floated low, and a large area of red came into people's sight.

Looking at the fiery sky, Ling Xiao's eyes exuded a light that was bound to win, "Shangguan Nan, our battle has begun, my things must be obtained no matter what!" ”

……

Shangguan Nan felt that his limbs were weak, and sleepiness was coming, and he glanced at the time It was only ten o'clock in the evening, and he wondered very much, why was he so exhausted today? Usually, even if you work all night, you won't be so tired.

Don't......?

Shangguan Nan, who had participated in special training, immediately reacted, it must be a problem with the meal he had just eaten, looking at the empty plates on the table, secretly hating himself for being careless, thinking that the person was so despicable, Shangguan Nan gritted his teeth in anger, and lifted the tablecloth angrily, "Smack!" With a thud, the plate on the table shattered.

As if he was still angry, Shangguan Nan paced back and forth vigorously in the room, trying to expel sleepiness, and read indignantly:

"His grandmother's is actually doing her hands and feet in the meal! You want me to fall asleep, I don't sleep, I don't believe it, I don't sleep, what can you do with me? ”

Shangguan Nan told himself repeatedly, but he didn't take a few steps, his head seemed to weigh a thousand pounds, and his eyelids still sank uncontrollably.

"You must not sleep at this time, you must not sleep ......"

It seems that this medicine is very violent, and Shangguan Nan, who usually has a strong inhibition force, feels powerless.

This kind of self is very dangerous, and the remaining reason tells Shangguan Nan that he must have ideas to make himself completely sleepless.

But at the moment, there is no doctor and antidote, how can we get rid of the drug?

Pain!

Shangguan Nan's brain suddenly flashed such a word, as if many years ago, the special training coach told him that if he wanted not to be fascinated by strange drugs, except for the doctor, he would make himself physically painful, and there was no other way.

Thinking of this, Shangguan Nan's eyes were hazy, his whole body was weak, he walked to the bathroom, picked up the razor on the sink, raised his other hand and scraped it the sharp knife edge, a pain instantly penetrated the brain nerves, Shangguan Nan suddenly fell asleep, and the blood on his palm was gurgling out.

Seeing the blood staining the cuffs red, Shangguan Nan didn't intend to bandage the wound at all, but puffed out his big eyes and looked at the warm blood and the entire sleeve of his shirt flushed red.

Now that he is completely sober, he wants to let himself remember for the rest of his life that this is the result of his carelessness.
