As more and more people came out of the convoy, an invisible aura shrouded all around, and even those elites of the four anti-riot classes who had been in a hundred battles fell into horror, and no one dared to move forward.

There were dozens of members of the Co., Ltd. in official uniforms, their faces were cold and indifferent, and judging from the four-star logo on their ties, they were all the top management of the Crescent City branch, and everyone was a figure who could turn the clouds and rain in the city.

The leader is the vice president of the Crescent City branch of the company, Zhao Yiming, who is above 10,000 people under one person in name and actually holds the power of the first leader.

When a big man of this level appeared, all the reporters present went crazy, keeping a distance and taking pictures frantically, and the flash was lit up everywhere.

The accompanying co-operative company guards seemed to have been greeted a long time ago, but they just glanced around coldly to prevent possible dangers, and did not stop the reporter from filming this scene.

Zhao Yiming and Su Mo shook hands, smiled and said, "First meeting, Head Su." Qi Ling said that you are in a little trouble, and I hope I can help you. ”

Su Mo and Qi Ling met their eyes, and each saw the depth in each other's eyes.

Su Mo bowed slightly to Zhao Yiming and said respectfully, "There have been a lot of things recently. Mr. Zhao can come with a face, and the younger generation is grateful. ”

"Don't say that, I'm a person who cherishes talents, how can I let the young heroes fall into the hands of the rats?" After Zhao Yiming finished speaking, he took the lead and walked towards the edge building, "Let's go, there are too many outsiders here, go in and talk carefully." ”

"Tuk-tuk." Schenkov in the car was sitting in a daze when he suddenly heard a knock on the window.

He gradually came back to his senses and looked at Su Mo outside the window.

"Dude." Su Mo pointed to the place where he was slapped on his face just now, and joked, "I remember this slap, next time I invite you to drink, you have to slap me back." ”

After speaking, he and Schenkov waved goodbye and quickly followed Zhao Yiming.

When everyone walked through the door, they were greeted by a messy lobby.

It had been smashed to pieces by Lucifer before, and before it could be repaired, it was littered with pieces of furniture and wreckage.

Zhao Yiming looked around and asked, "It's all Lucifer?" I heard that he was wearing the uniform of the company at that time. ”

Su Mo said softly: "That's the case, he holds the title of the company's team leader, and our people can't do anything about him." ”

Zhao Yiming's face was expressionless, and his indifferent expression revealed a trace of coldness: "It's small, and you lose the face of the company." ”

He said to his accompanying assistant: "Count the losses on the spot, and let the financial side allocate funds to compensate for the edge." ”

"In addition, let these directors, managers, and supervisors who came with me take a good look at what good things our company's executives are out there and conniving at their subordinates every day."

Zhao Yiming's voice was not loud, but it was extremely intimidating, making the company executives behind him lower their heads.

After speaking, Zhao Yiming took the lead in walking to the elevator: "Azhiwule, follow me." ”

In the crowd, the tall man with a Chinese face followed Zhao Yiming, took the elevator with Su Mo and Qi Ling, and went to the tea room on the 80th floor.

Qi Ling has a hostess posture and is very active and enthusiastic: "Everyone sit, I'll make tea for you." ”

Su Mo and Zhao Yiming sat facing each other, and the man with the Chinese character face named "Ariwule" stood beside him with his hands in his hands, and his sturdy physique looked like a hill.

Su Mo asked tentatively, "Do you want to sit down and drink together?" ”

Zhao Yiming smiled: "This is my bodyguard." It's okay, let him stand. Like you, he is a Wild Blood Code carrier, but he is of a higher rank than you, and now he is a "super-limited high-level". ”

Qi Ling came over with the brewed tea: "This is the tea that was fried last autumn, and I don't know if you are used to drinking it." ”

When the cup was put down, Su Mo looked at him and held Qi Ling's hand: "Zero, why don't you pay attention?"

The tea is made with boiling water, and Qi Ling has no pain, and he doesn't know that his hands are burned red when he holds the cup.

Seeing that Su Mo hurriedly took an ice pack to help Qi Ling's hands, and the latter's eyes were full of happy smiles, Zhao Yiming sighed with emotion: "Young people have a really good relationship. ”

Su Mo smiled slightly, and looked at Qi Ling softly: "Although we haven't known each other for a long time, Qi Ling has helped me a lot, and I am very grateful to her." ”

Qi Ling didn't say anything, and answered with a kiss that fell on the cheek.

Su Mo suddenly blushed: "Oh, what are you doing. The guests are here."

Qi Ling smiled generously: "It's all your own people, what's the matter~"

Zhao Yiming laughed: "That's right, don't be restrained, Miss Qiling and I are old acquaintances, she used to stay in the company for a while, and then left because of personal problems, I have always regretted it." ”

"I was really relieved to hear that she joined the fringe some time ago because she chose a place with a lot of potential, and I'd love to see you guys join forces and make a legend in this city."

Speaking of this, Zhao Yiming's words changed: "But then I heard that there are young people who rely on the company's resources to suppress you for no reason, and I feel very angry." It just so happened that Qi Ling came to me for help, so I came. ”

Qi Ling smiled and said, "Then the next thing, you two bosses talk, I won't be in the way here, just go shopping." ”

She slapped Ariul on the stomach, turned and walked out: "Brother, you are so strong, come and help me carry my bag." ”

Arioule glanced at Zhao Yiming, who nodded at him.

After the two left, only Su Mo and Zhao Yiming were left alone in the tea room.

The atmosphere is also becoming delicate.

Zhao Yiming leaned back in the chair, and his smile became mysterious: "Okay, that's the end of the polite words, let's get down to business." You'd choose to go under Lucifer's knife, which means you already know who you're up against, right? ”

Su Mo nodded: "The head of your company's intelligence department, Mammon." ”

Zhao Yiming's eyes were full of amusement, and he said with interest: "I know that it is the executive of our company, you actually killed his only son, and even sent a provocative execution video." ”

"This doesn't seem to me to be a rational choice, is it convenient to inform your thoughts?"

Su Mo: "Because I believe in Qi Ling." ”

Zhao Yiming: "Oh? What does this have to do with Qi Ling? ”

Su Mo: "Qiling told me that there is a friendship between the two of you. She said that no matter how hard I make a fuss, as long as she comes to you, you will come forward to help settle the situation, so that I can vent my anger. ”

"She believes in you, I believe in her, so she chooses to go crazy."

Zhao Yiming laughed out loud after hearing this, and said in a praising tone: "Very good, I speak very directly, I don't hide it like those laymen, I like this." ”

"Then I'll not beat around the bush and say it straight. You're really in a lot of trouble this time. ”

When Mammon learned of her son's death, she immediately contacted the crisis center. A full squad of razors is ready to slaughter the edges and make you disappear from this world forever. ”

Seeing that Su Mo's expression was a little stiff, Zhao Yiming deliberately didn't continue to speak, just looked at him with a smile, and let his nervousness continue to ferment.

The tea room became smelly of pins dropping.

Zhao Yiming blew the hot air on the teacup unhurriedly, and then said slowly: "But don't worry, I have already ordered the operation to be suspended and asked the crisis disposal center to stop this matter." ”

Su Mo was stunned for a long time, and after coming back to his senses, he breathed a long sigh of relief, and said, "Mr. Zhao came to the rescue, and the younger generation is grateful." ”

Zhao Yiming raised his hand and said with a smile: "There is nothing to thank, Qi Ling has done so many things for the company, I still have to help with this little favor." ”

What's more, this was originally an unreasonable mess by the Mammon father and son. Usually do nonsense all day long, and use the company's resources to get out of the way? Where is such a good thing. ”

Su Mo said respectfully: "Mr. Zhao is reasonable, and the younger generation admires him. ”

Zhao Yiming took a sip of tea, and his face suddenly wrinkled: "She really doesn't make tea, every time she makes it so strong, several pots of tea in my office are so wasted by her." ”

Su Mo: "I'm going to make you a new drink?" ”

Zhao Yiming shook his head: "No, you shouldn't care about tea now, but about your future." ”

"Mammon made a move this time, I helped you settle it, and I can also promise not to let him abuse the company's power against you."

"But a person of Mammon's level, in addition to having resources in the company, also has a lot of contacts in other places. Neither he nor the Fool's Guild he created is easy to mess with, and there are countless ways to kill you. ”

Speaking of this, his smile was full of meaning: "What are you going to do?" Just spend it with him day after day, wasting his youth in vain, and falling aggrievedly with a body of talent and talent? ”

Su Mo cautiously asked: "The juniors are not talented, dare to ask Mr. Zhao what advice he has?" ”

Zhao Yiming: "You know, my time is precious. If it's just those things I just said, I'll just ask the assistant to send you an email, and there's no need to come to the door in person. ”

He walked to the window, looked at the distant city line, and said something profound: "You're tall here, but not high enough." ”

"It would be a great pity for you to be cut off here by Mammon."

Su Mo also stood up, walked to the window and stood side by side with him: "Mr. Zhao is willing to help me solve the problem once and for all?" ”

Zhao Yiming said slowly: "You should know that in this city, or in this world, if you want to climb up, you can't have no one behind you. ”

"You were so miserable by Mammon this time, to put it bluntly, isn't it that he relies on the company, and you are helpless, so he can deal with you unscrupulously."

Speaking of this, he finally showed his hole cards and said meaningfully: "If you also want to find a backer, then before I leave this tea room, the opportunities are all in front of you." ”

"The only question is, what are you willing to give me in exchange?"

"The adult world is very realistic. I've already paid off Qi Ling's favor, and the rest can only be fought for by yourself. ”

"If I say that I don't want anything, but just look down on you and am willing to help you unconditionally, you must not believe this kind of nonsense."

"So the question is, what kind of chips are you willing to pay?"

Su Mo: "What does Mr. Zhao want from me?" ”

Zhao Yiming: "You can talk about your needs first, and I will naturally give you a fair offer." ”

Su Mo: "The bounty on the dark web against Nuobai was canceled, freeing her from the hunt." ”

Zhao Yiming: "Yes." ”

Su Mo: "Don't investigate the matter of Dongdong's attack on the Hellhound Building, and help her settle the follow-up impact." ”

Zhao Yiming: "Okay." ”

Su Mo: "If you encounter anything difficult to deal with in the future, please take care of Mr. Zhao." ”

Zhao Yiming: "No problem. ”

The three things Su Mo proposed, each of which was a shocking event, but Zhao Yiming answered without thinking at all, as if he was talking about what to eat tonight.

After answering, there was a brief silence around them.

Zhao Yiming looked sideways at Su Mo, with a mysterious smile on his face: "That's it?" Gone? You still have a very important sentence to say. Say it, speak up. ”

Su Mo looked at Zhao Yiming's gaze and said heavily: "Mammon, and all the members of the Society of Fools, I want them to die." ”

A treacherous light flashed in Zhao Yiming's eyes, and the corners of his lips raised a dangerous arc: "Young man, if you want to eat a company director, you are very guts." ”

After a moment of staring at each other, Zhao Yiming gave an astonishing answer: "Okay, if this is what you want, then so." ”

Su Mo bowed his head in respect: "Then what do you want in return?" ”

Zhao Yiming: "I want Qi Ling." ”

Su Mo's fingers twitched unconsciously.

This unconscious reaction was captured by Zhao Yiming, and he smiled meaningfully: "It seems that in your heart, she does have an irreplaceable position. ”

"Don't worry, the two young people get along so well, how can I be willing to break you up?"

"I won't forcibly tie Qi Ling to the company, I only have a small request - I want her for 8 hours."

Su Mo frowned puzzled: "Eight hours? ”

Zhao Yiming: "Yes, 8 hours, 8 hours at my absolute disposal." During this time, she must not resist anything and must not refuse any request. ”

Seeing that Su Mo's pupils were dilating, Zhao Yiming raised his hand to signal relaxation, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, don't think about the dirty side." I've always seen her as a friend, without any blasphemy. ”

"I promise you, my hands will not touch a single hair of her. I just want to ask her to help me with some work and that's it. ”

These words caused Su Mo to fall into a stagnation.

Before that, all the conversations were expected by Su Mo, and those humble gestures were just playing with Zhao Yiming.

But Zhao Yiming's final request was really unexpected by Su Mo.

Su Mo thought that Zhao Yiming would ask for some long-term contracts that would benefit the company, place the company's personnel within the edge, and even ask for the equity of edge technology.

There are ways to deal with these things, and Su Mo has also thought of countermeasures.

But Zhao Yiming wants Qi Ling to cooperate unconditionally for 8 hours?

Su Mo couldn't see through the intentions behind this, couldn't assess the risks, and couldn't predict the consequences it might bring.

For a moment, he fell into hesitation.

Zhao Yiming glanced at his watch unhurriedly and said, "You know, I'm very busy with work and don't have much time to spend here, so it's better to reply quickly." ”

He stretched out his hand to Su Mo: "The 8 hours of Qi Zero, in exchange for the end of all this in the near future." ”

Su Mo looked at the hand, pursed his lips, and didn't hold it for a long time.

Zhao Yiming's face suddenly became flat, and he withdrew his hand and walked out: "It seems that you have other ways in mind, then I wish you good luck, young man." ”

Just as Su Mo looked at Zhao Yiming's back and hesitated, the miniature communicator hidden in his ear rang.

"Click, click"

In order to exchange information in a timely manner, both Qiling and Su Mo wore this communicator.

This regular tapping sound is the encrypted language agreed upon by the two.

Now the voice means - promise him.

"Click, click"

"Click, click"

The sound of percussion kept coming.

[Promise him]

[Promise him]

After several repetitions, perhaps sensing that Su Mo was still hesitating, the pattern of the percussion sound had changed.

"Click, click."

【Trust me】

Just as Zhao Yiming was about to leave this tea room, Su Mo's call came: "Mr. Zhao." ”

Zhao Yiming turned his head and saw Su Mo's outstretched hand.

Su Mo's eyes were hot, and his voice was full of unshakable determination: "Qi Zero's 8 hours, in exchange for the end of all this in the near future. ”

A deep smile appeared on Zhao Yiming's face, and he shook Su Mo's hand hard: "Get ready to step higher, young man." ”
