Chapter 57: The Test of Crisis
Xiong Shannan's expression was serious, his eyes were bright and deep, and there was a hint of sharpness.
This makes his temperament more oppressive than usual.
When the fierce gaze swept over everyone, it was like a sharp blade cutting through the air.
Xu Li and her two best friends instinctively avoided the sharp gaze.
The three of them just stood in place, and the arrogance just now disappeared without a trace.
Marketing Director Wang Lin shrunk his neck and followed behind Xiong Shannan, groveling and flattering.
Bodyguards in black suits ran up the stairs, and the sound of leather shoes trampling was neat and regular.
They stood in the sales department, with solemn expressions, like two rows of sculptures cast of steel.
Xiong Shannan walked straight to the pond fish, grabbed his hand and held it tightly.
When they first met, he was one-handed, pond fish with both hands.
Now it was just the other way around, and he took the initiative to hold the right hand of the pond fish with both hands.
Xiong Shannan held it very tightly, his palms were hot, and he didn't say a word from getting out of the car to entering the door.
But what he wanted to say was in his eyes.
The look was very complicated, and the pond fish didn't know how to describe it for a while.
There is exhaustion, surprise, anxiety, gratitude, and the happiness of the rest of the life.
Chi Yu found out that Xiong Shannan's eyes were bloodshot, maybe he didn't sleep all night last night.
Xiong Shannan was only in his forties, and after a few days of not seeing him, his gray temples grew more gray hair.
Pond Yu noticed that he was still wearing the old Longines pre-loved watch on his wrist, a unisex model introduced in 1992 to commemorate the 125th anniversary of the Longines brand.
The body is gold-plated, the hands are leaf-shaped, and the numerals 1867 and 1992 are engraved above the small seconds dial.
This handshake lasted tens of seconds, maybe a minute or two.
When everyone saw this scene, they didn't dare to disturb it.
The trio of Xu Li, who originally had a strong attitude, also became silent.
When Xiong Shannan didn't appear, they still had room to fight with the sales staff.
Now that the owner who gave the signature has appeared, and has an ambiguous attitude towards Chi Yu, Xu Li is no matter how stupid she is, she knows that it is not the time to make trouble.
Xiong Shannan said to Li Xinlan in a slightly hoarse voice:
"You're the mother of the pond fish, aren't you? You rest here for a while, I have something to say to the pond fish. ”
He turned around and explained to the marketing director:
"Wang Lin, you treat your guests well."
The marketing director trotted over, and at this time he was in front of Xiong Shannan, like a well-behaved pug.
"Understood, understood."
Xu Li and the three of them heard that the "distinguished guest" did not refer to themselves, and their expressions were very embarrassed.
The sales staff who originally surrounded them ran to Chi Yu and Li Xinlan to be courteous.
Now the richest man in Nanchuan City came over, ignored them, and went straight to the pond.
This kind of feeling of falling from the sky to the ground in an instant is really uncomfortable.
Which luxury store is Xu Li not a guest in?
Which sales department in Nanchuan City is not warmly welcomed?
It was the first time she had suffered such a wordless "humiliation".
Several people are brightly dressed, regardless of identity or status, they are much taller than the mother and son of the pond fish.
but was ignored.
How does this invisible slap in the face not make people angry?
But Xu Li was helpless.
The marketing director she asked for a relationship didn't even dare to fart in front of Xiong Shannan.
My best friend's husband who works in the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development is nothing in front of such a big person.
Xiong Shannan is a guest of honor at the city government, and his family background is even more unfathomable.
Xu Li knew that the house would not be in her hands today.
If you continue to entangle, you will only bring humiliation on yourself.
She glared angrily at the mother and son of Chiyu, and then left with her two best friends.
How arrogant you are when you first enter the door, and how depressed you are when you leave.
Xiong Shannan never looked at the three of them from beginning to end.
He took Chiyu to Yunwan Upper City, and the bodyguards got in the car and followed.
Wait for everyone to leave.
Wang Lin put away his smile and glared at the employees who ate melons:
"What do you see me doing? Why don't you get to work?! ”
Everyone hurriedly retracted their necks like chicks and began to get busy, taking information and offering courtesy.
The focus of work is all focused on Li Xinlan.
After all, it was a "distinguished guest" ordered by Chairman Xiong himself, and no one dared to object to it.
……
……
The design of the main gate of Yunwan Upper City is very elegant, and the porch is decorated with delicate carvings, which looks both solemn and elegant.
After entering the community, it is as if stepping into another time and space, and the hustle and bustle of the city becomes distant and blurred at this moment.
The main road is paved with elaborate cobblestones, and the grass on both sides resembles a delicate green carpet with elaborate sculptures.
An entourage came up and wanted to help Xiong Shannan hold an umbrella, but he refused.
"You stay away, and you are not allowed to approach without my permission."
"Yes."
Chi Yu and Xiong Shannan walked side by side in the community, followed by several bodyguards in suits and leather shoes far behind.
Xiong Shannan gets straight to the point:
"Last night my private jet crashed out of control on the way to Deep City, and it wasn't until this morning that I got it all done."
Chiyu had already watched the news in advance, but he only knew that Xiong Shannan was not on the plane, and he didn't know much about other situations.
"Did anyone escape?"
Xiong Shannan shook his head, and his tone was heavy:
"The crew of three, plus my eight employees, none survived."
The pond fish fell into a long silence.
The two continued on their way.
The residential buildings along the road are uniquely designed, each with its own style, some in European classical architectural style, and some in modern and simple design.
In the open space between the buildings, children can occasionally be seen playing, and their laughter adds a bit of vitality and vitality to the community.
Xiong Shannan suddenly asked:
"How do you know?"
This sentence shocked Chi Yu's heart, he had long expected Xiong Shannan to ask about it.
His operation that day was very bold, whether it was switching the weather forecast or giving away a peace charm, it was possible for the person concerned to perceive his intentions afterwards.
It's okay if it's someone else, a person like Xiong Shannan who walks in the gray field all the year round and has many enemies.
This operation could easily arouse his suspicions.
How do I know?
Can't tell you I'm a regenerate, can you?
Chiyu desperately tried to stabilize his mentality.
Now anyone can panic.
He was the only one who couldn't.
"I'm sorry Mr. Xiong, what do I know?"
Chiyu did the opposite, boldly looking directly into Xiong Shannan's eyes.
Xiong Shannan stopped and stared at him with scrutinizing eyes.
The two of them just kept looking at each other.
The bodyguards behind him noticed something strange and involuntarily raised their vigilance and stared at the two of them closely.
It's a test.
Pond fish told himself in his heart.
As long as you pass this level, you will be able to go back to the next level.
If you can't get by......
Pond fish dare not imagine the consequences.
Xiong Shannan's sharp eyes seemed to see through him, and there was nothing to hide any secrets on his body.
The sense of oppression brought by this gaze is as heavy as a thousand pounds.
If someone else, it would have collapsed a long time ago.
But Chiyu still survived with a strong psychological quality.
He plays like a fledgling junior facing a high-powered senior.
There is ignorance, there is cramped and uneasy, but there is no panic that has been punctured.
The last one is particularly important, which successfully deceived Xiong Shannan.
Ordinary people would indeed be scared when they saw him, let alone a teenager.
Maybe that day was just a coincidence?
Xiong Shannan hesitated.
He looked away and patted Chiyu on the shoulder:
"It's okay, thank you for the peace charm."
Xiong Shannan's face regained his previous smile, and then walked in the other direction.
In just a dozen seconds, the pond fish seems to have passed half a lifetime.
He silently followed behind Xiong Shannan.
Take a long breath in a voice that only you can hear.
Afterwards, Chiyu recalled these ten seconds, feeling like walking a tightrope at an altitude of 10,000 meters, and every step was like walking on thin ice.
That kind of torment, he never wanted to experience again in his life.
