The weather in late autumn was getting colder quickly. Su Xiaoqiang wrapped up her coat, paused at the door for a moment, and then slowly opened the old door.
The yard was deserted.
Su Xiaoqiang's eyes fell under the old locust tree. The old man who used to like to lie on the couch under the tree and tell stories was no longer there.
The lounge chair was covered with a layer of fallen leaves.
The sun casts mottled light and shadow through the gaps in the trees, and the fallen leaves from the trees tell the story of the past with the wind.
Su Xiaoqiang lightly cleaned up and then lay down gently on the lounge chair under the tree.
The yard was already quiet.
After the old man left, it became quieter.
In the past many days, did the old man often lie here, telling unknown stories to the old tree, missing people he would never see again?
In late autumn, the cicadas no longer chirp, and the yard is lifeless.
Su Xiaoqiang stayed under the tree for a long time before slowly standing up.
She reached into her pocket and took out the only thing the old man left for her.
That's an old key.
She took the key, opened the door, and entered the old man's bedroom.
In the third drawer of the bedroom counter, Su Xiaoqiang found the hidden compartment.
The back of the secret compartment was locked.
After Su Xiaoqiang opened it with the key, he saw a palm-sized box.
Underneath the box is a letter.
Su Xiaoqiang took out the letter and opened it. Those were the words the old man left for her.
[Child, I'm sorry, if you are still alive.
But that doesn't change the fact that I'm using you.
Grandma's life is short and she can do anything for my purpose.
People like grandma are destined to have no good end.
The other side of the world is like an abyss.
It is difficult for people who have entered the abyss to come out again.
Rights, desires, and ambitions can all be obtained here, and they will all flourish wildly.
If you have read this letter, then you have seen the abyss.
If you have something that you must do, something that you are committed to your whole life, then you may need 'it'.
But you have to remember that once you use it, there is no turning back and no right to regret.
You will be tortured by 'it' for your whole life until 'it' completely erodes your sanity and completely degenerates you into a monster that only knows how to kill.
When people stare into the abyss, they are already in it.
Child, you have to think carefully about how you want to go in the future. 】
Su Xiaoqiang was silent for a long time, folded the envelope and put it back in the secret compartment.
She picked up the box and opened it gently.
I saw a small, finger-long test tube inside.
In the test tube, there was a bright red liquid that was dazzling.
Like the blood of something.
It's just that the blood is in the form of particles, like tiny and magnificent rubies.
Su Xiaoqiang knew that this was the temptation of the devil.
She put the key and the test tube into the box and closed it gently.
She doesn't like people like that.
Crazy, cruel, violent, like an irrational beast.
Therefore, she also hates, or is afraid of becoming such a person.
Su Xiaoqiang closed the door, went to the well under the old tree in the yard, threw the box in his hand, and watched the box slowly sink to the bottom of the well until it completely disappeared.
If she had used such a thing.
How is that any different from those who fall into madness?
...
...
"Miss Su has completely terminated cooperation with us."
"Moreover, perhaps because of the pressure from Tang Group, many companies that were originally interested in cooperating with us have also canceled their cooperation plans."
"As for the bank, the loan that was originally approved was stuck in the final stage. The reason was that our company was not operating well and there were huge risks."
In the office, the secretary reported to Su Xiaoqiang the recent huge changes.
Su Xiaoqiang had already been mentally prepared for this.
Many companies have been investigated recently, and Tang Group has conducted a comprehensive investigation. As for the reason, it is probably related to the auction.
This incident involves a wide range of things.
"Is there any more?" Su Xiaoqiang said expressionlessly, "If there is no more, then cut off all cooperation with Beijing and withdraw the funds first. We don't want to get into this muddy water. We will find a solution after the situation becomes clear."
This kind of thing is no longer something that the Su family's companies can get involved in.
Although this period of time will be difficult, as long as you don't fall down, there will always be a way.
Businessmen always look towards profit.
As long as there are enough interests, even enemies can cooperate.
What's more, the Su family is still the party being bloodletted.
The secretary recorded it carefully without saying much, and said at the same time, "There is also a lady who has sent you an invitation for afternoon tea."
"Madam? Afternoon tea?" Su Xiaoqiang was a little surprised, "Who?"
"I checked and found that the other party is a member of Europe's largest syndicate alliance and controls various mineral development, manufacturing, and sales channels." The secretary said and handed the business card to Su Xiaoqiang.
"Yin Lisabeth Laurent?" Su Xiaoqiang looked at the name on the business card and suddenly remembered what Lu Mingfei said.
Lu Mingfei seemed to say that he had a friend who was in the mining business in Europe?
Su Xiaoqiang gently pinched the business card, pursed her lips, picked up her phone and was about to send a message to Lu Mingfei, when she saw Lu Mingfei's message.
"You owe me a meal first. I need to go back for something. I remember your account and I can't afford it."
Looking at Lu Mingfei's message, Su Xiaoqiang glanced at her mouth and said, "Who said I wanted to treat you to dinner!"
...
...
Kassel's principal was on the special plane.
Natsumi hugged Eri and rubbed her.
"Oh, you go away, annoying!" Eriki pushed Xia Mi away and glared at her, "Xia, are you finished? Are you ashamed?"
"It's just a nudge. You're so stingy. It's not like I won't nudge you." Xia Mi said, straightening up, "Here!"
"I don't want you...!
Besides, yours is not big! "Eriyi glanced at Xia Mi with disgust and said.
"Eriyi!" Xia Mi said loudly, as if being stimulated, with a threatening look in his eyes.
"Did you talk to the teacher like this? You don't want to fail, right?"
"Brother, look at her!" Eryi didn't want to pay attention to Xia Mi, came to Lu Mingfei's side, hugged his arm and shook her, "Brother, the person named Xia is bullying me!"
"Can a teacher bully a student? She avenged her privately!"
"Brother, I want to file a complaint against her, strip her of her tutor qualification, and let her start as a student!"
"Eriyi, don't talk nonsense. You said I bullied you. Why did I bully you? Huh?" Xia Mi sat down on her butt and looked at Eriyi with a smile.
"You..." Eriyi couldn't help but blush when she heard this, "You know it yourself!"
"I don't know, tell me." Xia Mi spread his hands, looking innocent.
When Lu Mingfei saw this, he sighed inwardly and felt dizzy.
It's obvious that he was bullied, right?
