Chapter 18 Chapter Eighteen

Fireworks in the same city, all kinds of feelings. In the garden of Mahler Villa not far from "Yi Garden", the fireworks pushed the garden wedding held on the lawn to the climax.Amidst the booing of the crowd, the bride and groom had to embrace and kiss again and again, with happy and embarrassing smiles all over their faces. "It's so nice of them, it's really enviable." Ke Yaping stared blankly at the newcomers in the middle of the field, and said softly. At this moment, she and Meng Feiyang were standing far away under a cypress tree. At first, Meng Feiyang wanted to hide in a place with few people and smoke a cigarette. Just when the fireworks show started, Ke Yaping came to ask him to go back to the table. It feels better to see the fireworks from an angle, and there are no other people disturbing, so I stood still until the fireworks ended.

"Huh? What did you say?" Meng Feiyang was still immersed in the bright and fleeting melancholy, and he didn't react for a while. Ke Yaping pointed to the front: "I mean they... Well, they are finally able to be together for a lifetime, how happy they are." "Oh yes." Meng Feiyang almost blurted out: When they got married, they said they would grow old together, so why is the divorce rate still rising?Then he thought it was too unkind to say such a thing at someone's wedding, so he swallowed the words again. "Feiyang, in fact, I have always felt that those vigorous loves are just stories, and true love is two people living a normal life, staying with each other, spending a lifetime in harmony, and staying together until they grow old and die. Is the greatest happiness. Do you think so?"

"Uh... yeah." Her bright eyes made Meng Feiyang a little uncomfortable, he responded vaguely, and looked up at the night sky again.After the gunpowder smoke gradually dissipated, black clouds reappeared in the dark blue sky, and a few stars flickered listlessly.The exciting glory just now, once it disappears, it seems that it never existed. But we will remember - the bloom that once had. Meng Feiyang glanced at Ke Yaping beside her. Her slender figure was so ordinary, and there was a kind of earnestness in her expression that was rarely seen.He smiled at her, yes, love is of course long and meaningful, and spending a lifetime together is a rare happiness.But what if we can't spend our lives together?Love, doesn't it exist?

Meng Feiyang knew that there was still a deepest emotion in his heart, a passion for which he could give his life.This can't even be called love, but more like a proof of self, of existence, of all the beauty in the mind. As if to emphasize the ephemeral beauty to him again, Meng Feiyang's cell phone buzzed at the right time.The reality is like a sandy beach exposed after the tide recedes, dirty, gravel, endless... Meng Feiyang winked at Ke Yaping and answered the phone: "Hello?" "Feiyang! Hahahaha! Happy holidays!" Accompanied by a sharp and strange smile, Zhang Naichi yelled at the top of the phone, and he knew that he was not clear when he heard it.

"Happy holidays." Meng Feiyang frowned and said. "Did you see the flames and fireworks just now...it's so beautiful! Haha!" Meng Feiyang took the phone away a little, and his ears were deafened. "Mr. Zhang, what's the matter with you?" For Zhang Naichi's business success or failure, Meng Feiyang now has an inexplicable concern that is stronger than before. "Yes! Of course there is! Feiyang, you, you come over quickly, come! Our business is a success! Hahahaha!" what happened?Meng Feiyang's heart suddenly tightened. "Okay, I'll come right over!"

Zhang Naichi's living room was dark and filled with a strong smell of alcohol.The darkness in the room contrasted with the bright night outside, and the fireworks that had just ended seemed to still be colorful on the glass windows. As soon as he stepped into this room, Meng Feiyang knew that his worries were unnecessary, and he smiled wryly to himself in his heart , after all, I still care too much... "Don't move!" A strange voice sounded from the corner.Meng Feiyang turned around abruptly, the couch was hidden in the darkest place, and a human figure could be vaguely seen on it, holding a long object in his hand, as if aiming at him.

"boss Zhang?" "Tell me! Did you leak our business secrets?! Tell me the truth!" "What did you say?" Meng Feiyang was a little confused, and was extremely disgusted with Zhang Naichi's behavior, so he asked coldly, "Excuse me, can I turn on the light?" "Boom!" The golf club in Zhang Naichi's hand fell to the ground and hit the coffee table with a crisp sound. "Feiyang, I'm done!" He cupped his face and wailed. From picking up the phone to now, Meng Feiyang has experienced the whole process of a person from madness to berserk to collapse, and he finds it boring from the bottom of his heart.

"What's the matter with you?" "Feiyang, my Feiyang! Major suppliers all over the world have received direct inquiries from Zhongsheng Petrochemical, asking for quantities of 2,000 tons, 3,000 tons, and 5,000 tons! These days hdpe prices The skyrocketing price has...already 50% higher than the price we quoted to Zhongsheng Petrochemical!" "Really?!" Meng Feiyang heard the news for the first time, and after being shocked, he quickly thought about it... Well, first throw out the bait of huge profits; ;The prey is finally pinched back and forth and has nowhere to escape!

That's right, it was this whole set of perfect and extremely ruthless methods.What is rare is that the operation is so precise step by step. Of course, the greed and stupidity of this unkempt man who has lost his former style are the key factors for the smooth implementation of this plan. The behind-the-scenes manipulator knows too well the target he wants to kill, or he knows too well the weakness of human beings-the endless greed and arrogance.The ancients said that one can be strong without desire, but how many people can really do it today? Meng Feiyang thought of Kosuke Yasukawa. In less than a year, he witnessed the Japanese being killed invisible. Today, almost the same thing happened again before his eyes, but the tricks, actors, and actors were changed. The victim, but the ending has not changed.

What has not changed is the calmness, precision and steel-like murderousness of the sniper. Zhang Naichi collapsed on the sofa, tossing and turning in pain, moaning: "We quoted a firm offer... There are still eight days before the quotation expires! According to this momentum, hdpe will continue to rise, and Zhongsheng Petrochemical will confirm at any time Our quotation... When the time comes, we, we must make and deliver according to the firm offer... This is terrible, terrible!" Meng Feiyang found that his current mood was very similar to that when he watched Kosuke Yasukawa dying: contempt and disgust for his character, indifference of being on the sidelines, and a little bit of inexplicable sympathy... Lost helplessly to the same man - just in different ways.

That sniper in the dark is indeed too scary. He silently estimated the price: "If the delivery is made at the original price, the company will have to pay nearly 10 million U.S. dollars." "If the goods are not delivered, the liquidated damages will be similar!" Zhang Naichi shouted at the top of his voice. "Hmph." Meng Feiyang sneered, he really had nothing else to say. He wants to say goodbye. "Feiyang, Feiyang!" At this moment, Zhang Naichi plunged his head into his chest like a hungry tiger, his eyes were wide open, and his mouth was spitting, "I can't figure it out, I can't figure it out at all! Zhongsheng Petrochemical is playing me like this, yes What benefits do they have?! Now that hdpe has risen so much, they can’t get cheap goods. Are they planning to get liquidated damages from me to subsidize the difference in price increases? But it’s too late for this operation! I I don’t understand, I really don’t understand, I have no enmity with him, Zheng Wuding, why is he so deliberately trying to kill me? Ah?! Tell me!” Zhang Naichi grabbed Meng Feiyang's collar with both hands. Meng Feiyang was so annoyed that he was about to tear him away, but Zhang Naichi withdrew his hand again and continued talking to himself: "Unless...unless the order from Zhongsheng Petrochemical is a fake at all. Then he didn’t just fool me, he fooled all the chemical manufacturers all over the world! Despicable! Shameless! This is a bad act with no commercial reputation! I, I want to expose it to the media and foreign media! I, I want Zhongsheng Petrochemical to embarrass itself in front of suppliers all over the world!" "Stop talking nonsense!" Meng Feiyang couldn't bear it anymore, "Mr. Zhang, things have come to this point, you should think about your way out. As far as I know, Zhongsheng Petrochemical's order is real, and they must have a way You can get the cheap goods in time! Don't you see it? This is basically a well-planned game, exactly the same as the play that killed Yasukawa Kosuke. I'm afraid it's still the oriole, waiting in the back Already!" Meng Feiyang waved away, leaving Zhang Naichi sitting on the sofa with his mouth open, like a wax figure.The night was getting deeper and deeper, and the colorful lights specially lit for the festival were extinguished one by one. The night view of the Pujiang River outside the window fell into silence, and the darkness inside and outside the house finally became one. There are only two blood-red eyes that emit the craziest light like a beast in a cage. Rather than saying that Meng Feiyang's impulsive words reminded Zhang Naichi, it would be better to say that he made Zhang Naichi completely give up his illusions and was forced to face the deepest fear in his heart. October 8. Before leaving home, Dai Xi looked in the mirror. The trip to Sanya made her tanned even more than before the festival, especially the area on her face where the sunglasses were in stark contrast to the rest of her face. What would Li Weilian say about her now? Most likely, he would just glance at it lightly without making any comments.But just thinking about this moment made Dai Xi's heart pound like a deer in his chest.As an explorer of the soul, Dai Xi is fully able to capture this kind of shock in her heart, but she ordered herself——ignore it! Self-restraint had begun to cause Daisy pain, and she faced it with the bravery of a young man: without delusions, and without fear.She knew how heavy the puzzle she was facing was, and it even contained a dark force that could swallow everything. Only innocence and kindness were her weapons, and Dai Xi would hold on to them persistently. Pain is not important, sweetness is not important, what is important is that they are always honest with each other.Li Weilian puts trust in a higher position than love, and Dai Xi is willing to respect him because he is right, and because respecting him is equal to respecting the emotions in his heart. This emotion is delicate, sincere, and cannot be expressed, so it is even more precious. Early autumn is almost the best season in Shanghai, and the desire in the clean and clear air seems dull. After all, after the fermentation and release of spring and summer, everyone is a little tired in this cold season. The plane trees on both sides of the street will turn yellow and wither in another month.On the way to "Twin Sisters 1919", Dai Xi looked up several times, but she couldn't see any signs of withering. The green canopy of Yinyin is so peaceful that it can lure people into a dream.In fact, this drought and prosperity are originally a dream that spring and autumn winds wash away hand in hand. It has been almost a year since she came here for the first time.Dai Xi thought, it turns out that getting old is really easy, even for young people. Today, there is no small wooden sign on the bronze door knocker of "Shuangmei 1919". Dai Xi pushed the door open and entered, the shop was full of customers, even the innermost window seat was occupied. "I'm sorry there's no seat!" There was a rigid face on the collar of the brown cheongsam. "...I'm looking for someone." Dai Xi pursed her lips and looked back over Qiu Wenxin's shoulder. "Who are you looking for?" "Li Weilian," Dechter added confidently, staring into the other party's eyes, "He called me here!" The expression on Qiu Wenxin's face was really indescribable. After staring at Dai Xi for a few seconds, she replied angrily, "It's up to you if you don't come. Yi went to the big house." "Big house? Oh!" Dai Xi turned to leave. "The inner compartment is gone! Only the small door on the other side is open." Dai Xi was almost pushed by Qiu Wenxin to the alley facing "Yiyuan". When he looked up, he could see the small side door on the wall of "Yiyuan" across the alley.Two tall camphor trees stand side by side, blocking the black lacquered iron gate behind. You have to get close to find a narrow gap slightly exposed on its side. The back door of "Twin Sisters" was closed heavily, but the side door of "Yi Yuan" was opened with the light touch of Dai Xi's fingers.Stepping in, there is a narrow cobblestone path under your feet, with dense green bamboos planted on both sides, as if exploring the secret path in the forest. After two or three turns, suddenly a large-scale flower house stands in front of you. Strangers think that the road is blocked when they arrive in the greenhouse, but they don't know that there is a way to go through the flowers and grass. The corridor at the back of the main building of "Yi Garden" is connected to the flower room. In fact, this is the shortcut to the main building, which is much closer than entering the grand main hall of "Yi Garden" through the large lawn from the front door. When "Yiyuan" was used as the headquarters of West Bund Chemical in Greater China, this greenhouse was once the best place for employees to rest.The coffee machine, tables and chairs were removed when West Bund Chemical was withdrawn, but today Daixi does not see the slightest sign of depression or desolation here. The sunflowers are full of green, the white jasmine and yellow chrysanthemums are in full bloom, and the rich and strong aroma lingers in the whole flower house. Dai Xi breathed in the fragrance of the flowers vigorously - no other proof was needed, as long as he stood here for a while, he would understand how much love he had entrusted to "Yi Garden". The door leading from the glass corridor to the hall of "Yiyuan" is also ajar, and the empty hall is filled with colorful sunlight penetrating through the long fancy glass windows, quietly changing its shape in the silence. In the hall without a single piece of furniture, time has become the only thing that can be perceived, like clouds and flowing water, flowing silently... "Wow! Wow!" "Daisy, don't let it run out!" Dai Xi was startled, and saw a yellow ball of hair bravely rushing towards her.Dai Xi hurriedly blocked the door, the puppy braked suddenly, turned around and ran back. "Lucky! Lucky! You're disobedient!" Li Weilian ran down the stairs, and the puppy obviously didn't take his scolding seriously, wagging its tail provocatively at him, and continued to run around the wall of the hall. "Daisy, help me catch it!" "Ah? I..." Dai Xi panicked. She had never caught a puppy in her life. While staring at the puppy circling in circles, Li Weilian said to Dai Xi in a low voice, "It has wounds on its feet, and it won't be able to run for long. You just catch it on purpose and drive it in my direction." "Oh." Seeing that Li Weilian had no intention of chasing him, the puppy slowed down. Dai Xi immediately noticed that it was limping, with a strip of white cloth still dragging on its right front paw. Dai Xi swaggered a few steps towards the puppy on purpose. It stood there and looked at her quite vigilantly, but it didn't notice that Li Weilian had turned back behind it from the other side. "I'm here to catch you!" Dai Xi yelled and rushed towards the puppy.It jumped back high in response to the sound, just in time to fall into Li Weilian's trap. Dai Xi exclaimed in surprise: "Catch it!" Leaning over to take a look, the little guy let out an annoyed "woo-woo" sound. shake. "You tell me whether you should hit it or not?!" Li Weilian raised his slap high, and when it landed on the puppy's back, it turned into a loving caress. Dai Xi vaguely recognized the yellow-haired dog: "Huh? This is the stray puppy you were looking for that day? Where did you catch it?" "It hid in this yard after making trouble for a long time, um, under that lilac tree." The puppy squinted its eyes and hummed continuously after being touched by Li Weilian. It looked intoxicated and enjoyed, and the combed yellow hair was fluffy and shiny. It was really hard to put it down. "What a cute dog, it seems to be very small, right?" "Well, it's only two or three months old, and it's a golden retriever of a very good breed. I guess it got lost by accident." Li Weilian walked towards the stairs with Lucky in his arms, "Daisy, you came just in time, and you haven't met him yet." After tossing, I need your help, go upstairs to my room first." "The golden retriever I've seen is very obedient, why is it so skinny?" "It's called lucky." "Oh, lucky?!" Dai Xi thought the name was awesome, and he knew it was a little male dog. Like the hall on the ground floor, the second floor is also empty, all the doors are closed, only the door of Li Weilian's office is open. "The golden retriever was a devil when I was young, and I will become a caring angel when I grow up. As for lucky, it is basically the devil among devils, at the level of a gang boss. Now I can only pray that it will mutate into a virgin in the future level angel." Dai Xi laughed out loud, and they entered the former president's office, which was still the same as when Dai Xi left for the last time.When she moved out, she, Ye Jialan and Lisa made the decision together, and classified all the things in this office as Li Weilian's personal belongings, kept them intact, and Lisa notified Li Weilian to deal with them by herself.Unexpectedly, it would save trouble by mistake. As soon as Dai Xi came in, he noticed that the window facing the large oval balcony was half open, and the pot of palm bamboo under the window was getting more and more lush. However, on Li Weilian's particularly large, magnificent and elegant desk, the original neatness is gone, but it is full of large and small water basins, gauze, bandages, scissors, ointment, dog food plates, small A plastic bone for a dog to play with... Li Weilian put lucky in the empty space in the middle of the table, holding the back of lucky's neck tightly with one hand: "Daixi, hold it down for me." Dai Xi hurriedly held down the pup with its four feet in the air, and Li Weilian picked up a small medicine bottle from the table: "It has been beaten, has many wounds on its body, and its eyes are also inflamed. I have to give it eye drops three times a day. .But this little thing is really disobedient, and I have to fight with it every time." After the eyedrops were finished, lucky turned over in a jerk, purring, and still shaking his head and tail in protest.Li Weilian untied the bandage on its right front paw again: "This wound is very deep, just after applying medicine and wrapping it with gauze, it bit off the bandage after a while, I will give it Tied a dozen times!" "Why not use tape?" Li Weilian tied the knot carefully: "I'm afraid it will swallow the tape." He tied a slipknot, but Dai Xi was puzzled: "Why not tie a knot? You can cut it with scissors." "If you tie the knot, lucky will bite, and maybe it will damage the wound." As he said, he carefully loosened the knot.
