After a few words of explanation, Shi Yuan pressed down the phone, leaned on the back seat and closed his eyes to rest.
The sun fell on his thin face, and his black hair was mixed with strands of silver hair.
What follows is a tough battle.
The driver pressed the accelerator to the bottom, ran through countless red lights, and finally stopped on the side of the road where traffic was the most congested. As soon as the car stopped, Shi Yuan opened his eyes suddenly, got out of the car with unusual quickness, and closed the door with his backhand.
Shi Yuan has long been accustomed to behaving steadily and appropriately.
It had been years since he had been so eager to move through a crowd.
Shi Yuan raised his head, and the reflection from the hotel's glass curtain wall pierced his eyes. He squinted his eyes, anxiously wandering in the golden reflection.
For the first time, he felt that his eyes were beginning to blur.
I am indeed old. Shi Yuan thought.
Jun Ziyi's words echoed in my ears: Is it really interesting to live a life that always looks upward?
Natural selection, survival of the fittest. Today he can cut off others' way, and tomorrow others can cut off his way. The boomerang of competition will eventually hit every elite.
The train of time roars forward, and everyone will be left behind one day.
Sweat fell down Shi Yuan's face, down his neck, and into the collar of his expensive shirt. He stopped and looked at Yu Ben, who was standing on a high place and crumbling, from a distance.
The wind was strong, and Yu Ben's figure was not very stable. As his body swayed, exclamations sounded from below.
"Idiot!" Shi Yuan gritted his teeth and cursed. He didn't know whether he was scolding Yu Bi, himself, or everyone in the business community.
He walked through the heavy traffic and ran quickly towards the hotel.
Seconds later, his driver and secretary gave chase.
…
9:15 am.
Guan Xi locked the door and stared at two computers and multiple mobile phones at the same time. He paid close attention to the reposts in his circle of friends and watched Yu Bi's video views continue to increase.
She quickly realized something was wrong.
With this kind of enthusiasm, it seems that someone is fueling the flames and helping Yu Bi behind the scenes. The poisonous land incident gradually fermented in the chat records, and the test reports were constantly forwarded. Li Zhuoxiu's viciousness and violence were also spread overwhelmingly on the Internet.
This is of course a good thing for her and Yu Ben. But she was even more uneasy in her heart. It seemed that there was a bigger tsunami brewing behind this smooth situation.
The phone call between Guan Xi and Cheng Wenhua was still ongoing, and all media remained calm.
But Guan Xi smelled conspiracy and danger.
No matter what the original intention was, this matter has now been taken advantage of by several parties and taken in an unknown direction.
Natural selection, survival of the fittest. In the huge commercial society, always look up, look up... But there is always heaven in the sky, and there are always people in the world.
She and Yu Ben are just two insignificant characters.
At this moment, Guan Xi finally realized that she and Yu Ben were just pawns of capital. Perhaps Yu Ben jumped out to cause trouble because he was pushed and seduced by others.
If the person behind the scenes wanted to make things worse for Li Zhuoxiu, but now, Yu Ben happened to be standing outside the window for the sake of traffic.
Does that mean that only when one person dies can the effect of public opinion reach its peak?
Guan Xi's back was instantly soaked with cold sweat.
Will Yu Ben die?
But she couldn't go to the scene. She must sit in the office, pay close attention to the trends of public opinion, and deduce the survival path of the chess pieces from the countless changes. She is Yu Ben's back.
Just at this moment, there was a knock on the office door.
Chen Jiaxian pushed the door open and walked in: "Sister Xi, I want to talk to you about approving the venue."
Guan Xi suddenly turned around and looked at Chen Jiaxian.
Chen Jiaxian is a very smart, courageous and ambitious girl.
Guan Xi stared at Chen Jiaxian.
She suddenly asked: "Chen Jiaxian, there is an opportunity here. Whether you want to seize it or not depends on your own choice."
…
At 9:19 a.m., the door to the hotel room where Yu Ben was staying was finally violently broken open, and the police rushed into the room and began to persuade him.
Yu Ben smiled bitterly.
The nascent sun was so harsh that he could barely open his eyes, but the glass wall behind him was extremely cold.
Yu Ben pressed against the glass wall, holding on to his legs so as not to tremble.
Of course he was afraid of death.
But from his point of view - if he doesn't do this, if the poisonous land is successfully sold, he will keep this stain for the rest of his life. He will be pinched by Shi Yuan, controlled by Li Zhuoxiu, and involved in their game; if the poisonous land is exposed, He will be ruined, imprisoned, and never see the light of day again.
The chess pieces stand in a completely dead game, and they can only cross the river with their bodies to find a way out.
Yu Ben inspected the exterior wall environment last night and assessed the surroundings. He knew that with his years of engineering skills, this place looked dangerous, but it was not difficult to escape unscathed.
The coldness on his back spread throughout his body, but Yu Ben's heart felt like it was burning. He squeezed his eyes shut.
Make a fuss!
The bigger things get, the better!
Let everyone know that he was deceived!
Let everyone stop buying these two residential complexes!
Expose the dark source of evil directly to the sun!
This is his only way to survive!
The cold wind blew over. Shi Yuan's voice came from behind: "Yu Ben. Let's talk."
Yu Ben's body stiffened for a moment.
There was a scream from below.
…
At 9:20, the supervisor Chen Jiaxian, who was as small as a mayfly, pushed the electric donkey away without even having time to take off his helmet. He ran away, sprinting at a speed of 100 meters, and rushed into the crowded hotel.
The cell phone rang, it was Pan Qiaomu's. Chen Jiaxian accidentally touched the answer button, and Pan Qiaomu's voice was stern: "Where are you?"
Chen Jiaxian was panting, surrounded by the noise of people.
Pan Qiaomu said again: "Are you at the scene?" He said anxiously, "Go back! This is not something you should be involved in! Liu Youyou is not from a clean background, and he does things with dirty tricks!"
"Chen Jiaxian, go back!"
Chen Jiaxian directly pressed Pan Qiaomu's phone.
She took out the universal room card prepared by Guan Xi, opened the elevator, and calmly pressed the floor button.
The elevator goes up.
The elevator door opened, and a cordon was drawn outside the room involved. She blended in with the crowd watching the fun, and through the police, she could see Shi Yuan in the room at a glance.
Shi Yuan was shouting to Yu Ben.
She has never seen such a gaffe-like big boss.
Chen Jiaxian immediately lowered her head, covered her face with the mask, and took two steps back.
Then, out of nowhere, he raised his phone and took several photos of Shi Yuan in the room and Yu Ben standing outside the window.
She didn't know why she did this, maybe out of intuition, maybe out of some kind of sensitivity unique to little people.
but no matter.
She knew exactly what she was doing and the risks she was taking.
She is such a bold person.
No matter the cost, she has no regrets.
