There was a commotion in the conference room.
Jun Ziyi, who was sitting at the top, lowered her face, leaned back on the chair, and remained silent.
Silence spreads like ripples in water.
Soon, the conference room became quiet again.
The debriefing continued in an orderly manner.
The secretary knocked on the door: "Mr. Ziyi, I'm sorry, there is a sudden public situation that needs to be dealt with quickly." She emphasized, "There is a huge public situation."
There was a commotion in the conference room again, and there was a lot of discussion.
Jun Ziyi frowned.
The secretary walked in and handed her the tablet.
The secretary whispered: "Both died on the spot."
Jun Ziyi's face suddenly lost all color.
She was stunned for a long time, and her hands under the table were shaking violently.
There was silence for five minutes.
The secretary asked: "Is this the end of today's meeting?"
Jun Ziyi took a deep breath.
"No," she said calmly, "the meeting continues."
Jun Ziyi sat steadily on the large leather chair at the top of the conference room. She leaned hard against the back of the leather chair to stabilize her trembling upper body. She could feel the soft feel of the black scarf draped on the back of the chair on her back.
Jun Ziyi's voice was very steady: "We must deliver a satisfactory answer to all shareholders within five years, and transformation is imminent. The country, market and shareholders will not give us too much time. If we do not think about change, we will eventually be eliminated. At this time of transition, even sleeping is a waste of time."
She had a snow-white face and a calm expression. She gently took off the silver ring on her middle finger with her left hand under the table and put it into the inner pocket of her black suit jacket.
The debriefing continued in an orderly manner.
…
Pan Qiaomu ran through eight red lights in a row, and finally stopped the car in despair. He stumbled and hit the narrow door with his body, and then his body slid down weakly.
The door opened and Pan Qiaomu knelt on the ground in embarrassment.
Chen Jiaxian looked down at him, unable to hide the surprise in her voice: "Pan Qiaomu? What's wrong with you?"
Considering that she will stay in Singapore for at least the next four years, Chen Jiaxian resold all the things she couldn't take with her, threw them away, and gave them away. Now the room has been emptied.
Pan Qiaomu hugged Chen Jiaxian tightly: "Shi Yuan is dead!" He said with a pale face and tremblingly, "Li Hongzhou's big idea of the smart car was instilled in him by me. I don't know, because this set of things , the old president will meet with Shi Yuan..."
He buried his head on Chen Jiaxian's shoulder, trembling all over: "It's my fault."
Chen Jiaxian sighed. She said: "Liu Youyou asked you to give this set of things to Li Hongzhou just to use this matter to pit the old president against Jun Ziyi so that he could take advantage of Jun Ziyi. Who knew that the old president was reluctant to part with his Zhuoxiu Group and instead turned against him? Quan Shi Yuan... But you know, Guan Xi told me that Shi Yuan plans to accept government solicitation and help attract investment."
Pan Qiaomu was stunned: "What do you mean?"
Chen Jiaxian said: "Guan Xi's analysis is that when Shi Yuan controls Zhuoxiu Group from a higher level, he will definitely support industry and crack down on capital for the sake of the local economy. He will not allow Li Hongzhou to mess with capital games and disrupt the local market. He will definitely Li Hongzhou will be expelled. This is the fundamental reason why the old president got rid of Shi Yuan. This is not your fault. "
Pan Qiaomu grabbed Chen Jiaxian's hand and said forcefully: "It's not my fault."
Chen Jiaxian said: "This is not your fault."
She took the cold water bottle, poured two cups of cold water into disposable cups, and pushed one cup in front of Pan Qiaomu.
"Drink some water," she said. "Calm down."
Pan Qiaomu drank. Chen Jiaxian poured him another glass, and Pan Qiaomu stared at the glass of water blankly.
It's not his fault.
But Pan Qiaomu knew what he had done.
He regretted it.
After a while, Chen Jiaxian looked at the time: "You have calmed down. Let's go. I have to catch a flight tomorrow morning."
Pan Qiaomu suddenly raised his head and stared at her: "Don't leave me. At least don't leave me today. Please."
Chen Jiaxian said calmly: "But I will leave tomorrow morning. I will not stay for you anymore."
Pan Qiaomu looked at Chen Jiaxian's face and trembled all over. Strong emotions hit his heart, and he finally couldn't help asking: "Chen Jiaxian, Shi Yuan is dead! He died like this without saying a word or any sign! We are all mortal! You and I are still pursuing These stupid things, what’s the point of pursuing these things - nothing will be left after you die - but you still want to leave me - "
Chen Jiaxian lowered her eyes.
She said simply: "Yes."
Pan Qiaomu finally did what he had always wanted to do.
He poured water from the cup on Chen Jiaxian's face.
He said forcefully and tremblingly: "Chen Jiaxian, I hate you. I really hate you. I have never hated someone so much."
Chen Jiaxian poured water from her glass onto Pan Qiaomu's face.
She suppressed her voice angrily: "Do you want to see how you treat me? Negotiate? Control? Use? Conceal? You damn exquisite egoist - have you ever been willing to put aside the set of weighing pros and cons? Thinking, see me as a person instead of cutting me into pros and cons? Please come closer to me, even just a little! Between the two of us, who is pursuing stupid things?!"
Pan Qiaomu wiped the water on his face, his eyes were already red: "Chen Jiaxian, do I have a choice? I am the person who was pruned by this system. I admit that I regret it now. Shi Yuan's matter, I may be right, but I am guilty... But no one is perfect. If I don’t fucking do this, can I still succeed?"
The cold water dripped down Chen Jiaxian's collarbone. Chen Jiaxian also cried: "Then are you a human being, or are you an accomplice and a puppet in this competitive system? Are you a tool? Am I a tool? Damn natural selection, survival of the fittest, and the law of the jungle. What is the law of the jungle? If you eat others, others will eventually eat you! People live like machines, like tools, like numbers, like data, so that even the human touch is gone, and only technology and means are left in their lives. , and you—do you think this is a success?”
Chen Jiaxian grabbed the cold water bottle, quickly poured a glass of water, and poured it on Pan Qiaomu's face: "You are a big idiot!"
Pan Qiaomu's lips trembled and he was speechless for a while.
After a long silence, he said word by word: "Okay, okay, I'm a big idiot, thank you for reminding me, of course I know I'm a big fool -"
He clenched his fists, and Chen Jiaxian glared at him. He quickly let go and clenched the corners of his clothes instead.
Pan Qiaomu gritted his teeth and said: "What about you? You turn a blind eye to my efforts and only apply your standards. And every one of your standards reminds you of how hurt you have been! When you meet someone in the future, apply To set a standard, you have to recall it once! You hold on to the hurt you have suffered, and every time you have the opportunity to take a step forward, you have to recall the past hurt - are you escaping from the hurt of your family of origin, or are you nostalgic and living in the past? Ruminating on the harm caused by your family of origin? Are you not letting go of the harm, or are you not letting go of the harm?!"
Chen Jiaxian interrupted him with a scream: "What's your logic?"
Pan Qiaomu reached out to cover her mouth, and she kicked and scratched Pan Qiaomu.
Without saying a word, Pan Qiaomu grabbed the cold water bottle, poured a glass of water, and poured it on Chen Jiaxian's face: "I said you are a big idiot!"
Chen Jiaxian wiped the water on her face and widened her eyes. Pan Qiaomu quickly sat back down and lowered his voice by an octave.
He spoke quickly: "Whether you want it or not, no matter what you think, the damage has already happened and it cannot be cured. You can only endure the pain, forget the pain, and move on. There is no way, time never changes Apologize, it’s your fault when you’re happy, it’s your fault when you’re unhappy, no matter what, it’s your fault, why don’t we get together and do it for a few times, and wait until we both lie in the grave, and then slowly reflect on the hurt we’ve suffered - angry But if it doesn’t happen, just fight with your parents underground and I’ll help you fight.”
Chen Jiaxian was so angry that she cried: "I'll fight it myself." She cried and poured a glass of water on Pan Qiaomu's face: "You are a big idiot!"
Pan Qiaomu yelled back: "You are the one!"
Chen Jiaxian pointed at him: "You are the one!"
Pan Qiaomu was not willing to be outdone: "You are the one!"
Chen Jiaxian grabbed the cold water bottle and found that there was no water in it. There were water stains all over the floor. Pan Qiaomu fiercely snatched the cold water bottle from her hand: "You rest, I'll go."
He took a pot of water and placed it in front of Chen Jiaxian: "You are the one!"
Chen Jiaxian poured a glass of water from the cold kettle without mercy and poured it on Pan Qiaomu's face: "You are the one!"
Pan Qiaomu said: "Warm water, comfortable."
Chen Jiaxian was so angry that she burst into tears. She grabbed the cold water bottle and poured the warm water over Pan Qiaomu's head: "You are the one!"
Pan Qiaomu wiped the water on his face and said abruptly: "I love you."
Chen Jiaxian was stunned.
Pan Qiaomu held his heart firmly.
The shadow of death still hovers heavily in the sky, and personal destiny is like a mayfly, living and dying in the irresistible reversal of the times. An industry collapsed, a group collapsed, some people left, some died. But at this moment, Pan Qiaomu suddenly thought, fuck it.
"What's rational, what's logic, what's weighing the pros and cons." Pan Qiaomu finally said, "Chen Jiaxian, you're right, I'm just a big idiot. No one can live without going astray. Right or wrong doesn't matter. I, he." Damn it, just ignore it. I just love you. You are indeed hard for me to accept. Your personality is also hard for me to accept. Everything does not meet any of my expectations, fantasies and standards - just hit you, don't pull. Hair—but, without you, I might as well die now, but—"
"I love you." Pan Qiaomu said.
He found himself in tears.
Doesn't he want to lose face? !
Chen Jiaxian looked at him.
Pan Qiaomu wanted to hold back, but his tears flowed more and more.
Chen Jiaxian reached out and covered his eyes.
He heard her cry, "I'm such a fool. I love you too."
A strong, indescribable joy rushed up to the brain along the spine, and fireworks crackled in Pan Qiaomu's mind. He grabbed her hand and said confusedly: "I love you, and you love me too. This process is going smoothly. You have read it, I have read it, and you cannot withdraw it - let's get married."
He wanted to slap himself.
What is he saying? !
But the process is not important, achieving your goals is important.
Pan Qiaomu's hair was still dripping with water, and his white shirt was so wet that it was almost transparent and clinging to his body. He jumped up, quickly reached out and grabbed the suit next to him, and quickly touched his inner chest. After touching it a few times, his face froze.
“Damn it, Chen Jiaxian——” Pan Qiaomu shouted, “Where is the diamond ring I bought?!”
Chen Jiaxian wiped away her tears, her eyes averted, and she would never take the blame: "It wasn't me."
Pan Qiaomu said: "After you tried it, did you put it in the pocket of the suit next to you?"
Chen Jiaxian said angrily: "The colors are all the same! How can I tell them apart?"
Pan Qiaomu cursed: "The stripes on this one are 0.07 mm wider than that one. Why are you not rigorous at all?" He quickly unbuttoned three buttons of his white shirt.
Before Chen Jiaxian could speak, Pan Qiaomu grabbed her hand, followed the white shirt, and inserted it into his clothes.
Chen Jiaxian tried to break away: "You don't have the diamond ring, what are you doing?"
Pan Qiaomu grabbed her hand with his right hand, unbuttoned a few more buttons with his left hand, let her hand fall along the chest muscles and onto the abdominal muscles, and said viciously: "I'm obsessed with you."
Chen Jiaxian's eyes fell on his wet and transparent white shirt.
Pan Qiaomu said proudly: "Why do you think I splashed water?"
Chen Jiaxian cried and laughed at the same time. She couldn't laugh or cry. After a long while, she grabbed the cold water bottle with her other hand and poured all the remaining water on him: "Are you playing tricks on me again?!"
Pan Qiaomu laughed, picked her up and walked into the bathroom: "Do you have desire now?"
