The old man in the office did not speak.
He knew that his young master did not need him to reply at this time, but needed a listener.
The young man paused for a while, looking a little dazed, admiring the familiar yet unfamiliar city in front of him through the light blue smoke rising from the cigar in his hand.
The voice sounded faintly.
"What should a 24-year-old man be experiencing?"
"Have you just graduated from college and are preparing for an internship, or are you already married with a wife and children?"
"And I, Gao Yiming."
"I am already the chairman of a company that is about to go public. I have nearly 1,000 employees waiting for my salary every month. Behind these more than 1,000 employees, there are 1,000 families!"
"I'm strong, aren't I?"
"Since I took over the company at the age of 16, I have resisted all criticism and sat in this position."
"Since then, I have never failed in every major decision of the company."
“I don’t know whether it’s God’s blessing or whether I’m really capable, but the company is getting bigger and bigger in my hands.”
“If it hadn’t been for this sudden version update, I would have been preparing to ring the bell by now.”
"Uncle Wei, do you think I am strong?"
"powerful."
The old man leaned forward slightly and lowered his head, and said in a hoarse voice, "There are not many people in this world who are stronger than you, young master."
This is not a compliment.
He watched the young master come step by step. The young master is a true business genius.
Sometimes he even doubted whether the young master could predict the future, otherwise how could he find the right option every time the company made a decision.
"Yeah?"
Gao Yiming looked a little dazed, lowered his head and murmured: "Since I was 16 years old, I have been making decisions, making decisions."
“It ranges from deciding the direction of the company to deciding how to arrange troublesome employees.”
"No decision is wrong."
"But... the more this happens, the more I start to fear making decisions."
"Because I know that no one can make a wrong decision once, and in my current position, if I make a wrong decision, I will drag the entire company into an abyss."
"I started making decisions out of fear."
"I don't know if I will make the wrong decision next time and what consequences it will have."
"And this time..."
"The version has been updated, and there are more coupons."
"I ordered most of the company's cash flow to be taken out, and I tried every means to let employees use various means to collect coupons."
"Do you think I made the right decision?"
"..."
The old man lowered his head and remained silent for a while, then said slowly and hoarsely: "The young master has never doubted his decision-making before."
"Um."
Gao Yiming nodded, slowly put out the cigar in his hand in the ashtray, paused for a moment and then said softly.
"Send someone to find Chen Yi."
"Ask what the treasure chest reward is."
"If the reward is huge...then we should be able to artificially create a treasure chest."
"As long as ten people die, there is a chance that you will have a treasure chest."
"It's just ten people. In today's world, disappearing won't attract much attention."
"Uncle Wei, go arrange this matter."
"clear."
The old man nodded, slowly retreated to the door, left the office gently, and closed the door behind him.
...
After the old man left.
Gao Yiming was the only one in the huge office.
Gao Yiming allowed himself to be shrouded in darkness and felt the biting chill. He tightened his coat, curled up on the boss's chair in a daze and murmured: "This is my birth year."
"Year of the Rabbit."
"Good."
It's May, strictly speaking we're just getting ready for summer.
But the temperature in Yancheng is extremely high, and it already looks like a sweltering heat.
The air conditioner in the office is turned on low.
The temperature is very cold.
Don't know when it started.
He likes this. He turns the air conditioner to a very low temperature, puts on a thick coat, and curls up on the boss's chair. He always feels... This gives him a strong sense of security.
...
"Team Li."
After Uncle Wei walked out of Gao Yiming's office, his turbid old eyes stared at the file about Chen Yi handed over to him by his subordinates. After scanning it, he dialed the number of a team leader in the Law Enforcement Bureau.
"Garden Community, Chen Yi."
"This person is in your jurisdiction, and Mr. Gao wants to find him."
"Bring him here."
Then he hung up the phone.
It's just a small person like this, and there's no need to even send out people from the company's security department.
When a company reaches this level, it needs to support more than just its employees.
...
In the garden area.
Chen Yi had just left the rental house and was stopped before he walked out of the gate of the community.
"..."
Chen Yi stared calmly at the man in casual clothes in front of him. He paused for a moment and then said softly: "Captain Li, long time no see. Looking at this posture, you seem to be running towards me."
"Um."
Captain Li impatiently took off a pair of handcuffs from his waist and waved them in the air: "It's really unpleasant to have to move in the middle of the night. Do you want to take the initiative to follow me, or do you want me to handcuff you?"
"There's no need to reminisce with me."
"I have never had a good impression of rapists like you."
"..."
Chen Yi raised his eyebrows slightly and suddenly laughed: "What are you talking about that night?"
"That night, the Law Enforcement Bureau had gone to the scene to investigate, based on the footprints at the scene."
"I'm just passing by."
"And the messy footprints under that couple's feet were all caused by that couple."
"My suspicion has been cleared, but you still call me a rapist, which makes me a little unhappy."
"Then what?"
Captain Li glanced at Chen Yi impatiently: "I don't intend to rape. Why are you worried about a young couple fighting?"
"Is it obvious to you?"
"..."
Chen Yi raised his head and glanced at the empty security room and the camera that had been abandoned for an unknown period of time. He then focused on Captain Li's casual clothes. He nodded and said casually, "What you said makes sense."
"You're here in casual clothes, and your flashy little car isn't here either."
"I came alone."
"It seems to be a private operation. If it were a private operation, would you report the itinerary to the bureau?"
Captain Li frowned, suddenly feeling a little uneasy, and slowly stretched his hand towards the lining.
"Are you qualified to ask about my itinerary?"
"Um."
Chen Yi nodded with satisfaction and suddenly laughed: "It seems that there is no report."
"Team Lee."
"Have you heard that if you walk too much at night, you will always encounter ghosts?"
The next second——
I don't know when I touched the tuberculosis rabbit behind Captain Li. With a ferocious and excited expression, he raised a wooden stick wrapped in a towel with his hands and jumped in the air!
Aim for home plate.
"Bang!"
There was a silent knocking sound, just like a night walker who went to a dark corner and let out a dull fart.
...
ps: I actually want to reply to a reader’s comment.
But I... forgot what my author number is.
After trying for a long time, I couldn't find my author account, which was a bit uncomfortable.
