City A.

In winter, the financial street does not change much, and countless people appear here alternately every day. Tall French plane trees stand on the side of the road, topped with dark green leaves, which shade the bright light, even during the day, a little shaded under the trees.

The door of the Chu Group is open, and from time to time there are neatly dressed office workers entering and exiting. The warmth on his face steamed off the heavy coat on his body, but it couldn't steam away the haze in the room.

From the first floor to the top floor, the depression and dullness that filled the Chu Group became more obvious the higher you went up, and when you arrived at the floor where Chu Tianqi worked, you could feel the heavy atmosphere inside the moment the elevator opened.

"Mr. Chu, let's have a cup of coffee and take a break."

The secretary gently placed the cup on his desk, carefully observing his expression, and his eyes were full of anxiety.

Whether she was at work or off work, she could see Chu Tianqi in the office, and she hadn't seen him and her eyes for several days. There seemed to be a thick fog on his brow that could not be dispersed, and he frowned tightly when he lowered his head to deal with affairs. She has followed Chu Tianqi for so many years, and she has never seen him so gloomy.

The secretary wanted to take the pen from his hand, but he didn't dare to do so. The Chu Group's current situation is very bad, it is all supported by Chu Tianqi alone, if she still wastes his time, it will be a real sin.

"Let it go." Hearing the voice, Chu Tianqi finally raised his head, and the red blood and condensed black blue under his eyes showed that he hadn't had a good rest for a long time.

The secretary tried to persuade him, but in the end he didn't open his mouth and turned to leave.

"Is Tianqi in there?"

The secretary came out of the door with a worried face, looked up and saw Chu Mingtai coming, and his godless eyes instantly lit up, "Mr. Chu, you are here!" Mr. Chu is inside, go in and persuade him, Mr. Chu has not rested for several days. ”

"Huh? It's true? Chu Mingtai's face darkened, "I'll take a look, you can get busy." ”

The office was quiet, and when Chu Mingtai opened the door, he saw Chu Tianqi behind his desk, looking at something in the documents, and his brows were furrowed.

"Look at the way you look now, like your little old man!" Chu Mingtai walked to the desk and unceremoniously picked up the coffee, "Your coffee here is still running well, why doesn't my secretary have this skill?" ”

Chu Tianqi put down the document, and his face was full of exhaustion. He leaned back in his chair, stretched out his arms and stretched his body, and his voice was a little hoarse, "Big brother, why are you here?" ”

Chu Mingtai sat on the desk, turned his head to look at him, and said, "The Chu Group has been jointly suppressed, do you really think I can sit idly by?" ”

"Huh.." Chu Tianqi smiled, and he could still detect some miserable meaning between his eyebrows, "I didn't expect that even the government was alarmed, it seems that I still underestimated the power of the Xue family!" ”

"I'm not interested in knowing how the Xue family is," Chu Mingtai put down the cup, changed it to a chair, looked directly at him and said, "The Chu Group is a career that you single-handedly caught, and half of your life's hard work has been smashed in it." And now that's what made you like this? Is that all you can do? ”

"Big brother, you know about the marriage between the Xue family and the Zheng family, right?"

"City A is in a bustle, how can I not know?" Thinking of when Xue Ziqing almost became his brother-in-law before, Chu Mingtai couldn't help but sigh with emotion, and he said with some regret, "But Xue Tianmin is also ruthless, he can marry his daughter to someone older than him, in order to consolidate the status of the Xue family, he doesn't even want face!" ”

At the mention of Xue Ziqing, the light in Chu Tianqi's eyes dimmed a little more, he suppressed the dullness in his heart, eased his emotions and said, "Big brother, why did you come here suddenly?" ”

You can't come to see the gossip, right?

Chu Mingtai looked at his desolate appearance, and couldn't bear it, "No matter how urgent the company's affairs are, you have to take care of your body." Dad called me just now, Nancheng's affairs Tingjun will deal with it, what you have to do is to deal with the things in your hands and be fully prepared before fighting! We can be regarded as joining forces to offend the Xue family, they can't let you be wiped out, but they can also give you a headache for a while. If you are still in this state, you will collapse before you play! ”

"Big brother, I see." Chu Mingtai's way of comforting people has always been not gentle, and it will poke people's sore spots, and Chu Tianqi will get used to the pain after a long time, "The matter on Tingjun's troops has not been dealt with yet, and I have added something to him, he must also have a headache." ”

"You think Thunderbolt will be like you?" Chu Mingtai was very contemptuous of his brother, "When have you seen him like you now?" Look at your face, it's ugly! ”

"Uh..."Chu Tianqi was choked speechless, so he had to turn the topic to serious matters, "Big brother, if the Zheng family can help the Xue family like this, it must be more than just marriage, right?" ”

"Looks like you're not hopelessly stupid!" Chu Mingtai spared no effort to damage Chu Tianqi, "The old man of the Zheng family is definitely not just greedy for beauty, his private transaction with Xue Tianming has something to do with drugs, and it is not clear how they got hooked." But that old man really doesn't understand, when he is old, he still thinks about the dream of getting rich, isn't it good to live a stable life in his old age? You have to send yourself in! ”

"You say they deal in drugs?" Chu Tianqi's face turned ugly, "If they are involved in drugs, then there must be a deal with drug dealers." Big brother, do you think there will be any involvement between the matter in City A and the matter that Tingjun is investigating? ”

"You reminded me when you said that!" Chu Mingtai also reacted, "Xue Tianming suddenly got involved with drug dealers at this time, but Nancheng has not had any turmoil recently, it is very likely that they have shifted their positions and have not been able to hide, so they are waiting for this one!" ”

The brothers glanced at each other, and Chu Tianqi said with a calm face, "I'll go and inform Tingjun and ask him not to interfere in my affairs for the time being, and keep an eye on Nancheng first." If necessary, he may have to make a trip to City A. ”

Chu Mingtai rubbed his hands, and there was excitement in his calm voice that couldn't be hidden, "Well, he failed in his last mission, and he didn't see any movement from the drug dealer after waiting for so long, and now he finally caught his tail!" ”

Chu Tianqi finally recovered a little bit of his expression, he nodded and said, "After so long of boiled water, I have almost forgotten what life is like!" ”

"That's right!" Chu Mingtai echoed, "When I think of the three of us fighting together before, it's really nostalgic!" ”
