Liang Xie sent a WeChat letter: Come to the general manager’s office.
After Zhou Song finished reading, he put down his mobile phone and continued to stare at the computer screen and change the desktop. He had been doing nothing all morning. After playing the card game that came with the computer for a while, he started to change the desktop. From cars to cute pets, and then to the present.
The popular actress turned around like a slide show. In fact, he had something to do. Since he exposed his English ability, he passively took over all the work of translating English materials and replying to English emails, and he also did all the chores that originally belonged to him.
The same cannot be left behind. The reason why he is passive and slack at work is not because, as Zhou Lingjun said, he fished for three days and dried the nets for two days. After working diligently for a few days, he developed a rebellious mentality. It was because he was in poor condition and today
As soon as I open my eyes in the morning, I feel depressed and irritable.
He knows himself very well and understands that the reason why he is so depressed is because he has a brain function defect in a region of his brain called the cingulate gyrus. This defect will make him irritable, depressed, and even violent from time to time. So whenever
When he sensed that his mental state was abnormal, he tried to reduce contact with people and actions to avoid all sources that would cause his mood swings. He knew that at this juncture, he was inefficient in everything he did and was prone to making mistakes. Today
It was a recent example. When he woke up, he found that he was wearing pajamas, but he thought he was sleeping in home clothes. He even forgot that he changed clothes before going to bed.
So he sat motionless at his workstation all morning. Except for going to the bathroom and holding a group meeting, where his unsociable behavior annoyed the group leader, he never left the chair under his butt.
Tian Xin, who was next door, noticed that he was slacking off at work and reminded him tactfully twice. He agreed with a smile on his face, but turned around and continued to change the wallpaper. Tian Xin was worried about his identity and couldn't push him too hard, so he could only turn a blind eye.
Close one eye.
He didn't reply to Liang Xie's message. Liang Xie soon sent another WeChat message: Come up quickly. Are you still waiting for me to go down to invite you?
Seeing that he couldn't hide, Zhou Song asked Tian Xin: "Which floor is the general manager's office on?"
After getting the answer, he took out a flat pill box from his pocket, poured out two pills and swallowed them with water. Then he took the elevator and went straight to the 26th floor. As soon as the elevator door opened, he saw Liang Xiao in the elevator room.
Stand. "Brother Ah Xie."
Liang Xie said: "I'm getting ready to go down and catch you."
He followed Liang Xie through an office area and came to the door of the general manager's office. Liang Xie knocked on the door and pushed it open, saying: "Go in."
Zhou Song walked in and saw Zhou Lingjun on the sofa with his back to the floor-to-ceiling window. The general manager's office was very grand, divided into an office area and a reception area. There were three white sofas in the reception area. Zhou Lingjun was sitting in the middle.
On the couch, he was reading a document.
Zhou Song took a few steps closer, placed his hands neatly in front of him, and called out politely: "Brother."
Zhou Lingjun didn't raise his head, and raised his hand slightly, pointing to the sofa next to him, gesturing for him to sit down.
Zhou Song didn't sit down. He didn't plan to stay long, so it was better to stand.
Liang Xie poured a glass of water and came over, pushing Zhou Song onto the sofa: "What are you standing for? Sit down." He placed the water glass in front of Zhou Song, naturally walked around the coffee table in the middle, and sat on Zhou Lingjun's left hand side.
Sat down.
As he got closer, Zhou Song saw that the document Zhou Lingjun was looking at was a planning project he had done the day before yesterday. The cover of the document also had the words "Marketing Department Group 2 - Zhou Song" printed on it. Zhou Song suddenly felt a little nervous, feeling like
Homework was randomly checked by parents.
Zhou Lingjun seemed to be very dissatisfied with the planning project he made. His dark eyebrows were slightly furrowed and his expression was extremely indifferent. Finally, Zhou Lingjun finished flipping through the documents, threw them on the coffee table, and commented: "It's a complete mess.
"
Liang Xie sorted out the documents and put them down, and said with a smile: "I just said that this plan was clearly organized and highly maneuverable. Now I have changed my words in front of Xiao Song. This is the first plan I made when I first started working.
Not as good as him."
Zhou Lingjun: "There is no comparison between you and him. He just wrote an on-site process for new product launches. The first case you did that year was financing and mergers and acquisitions." He glanced at Zhou Song, picked up the water glass and took a sip of water.
"It's been more than a week since you started working, how do you feel?"
Zhou Song sat upright and said respectfully: "My colleagues have taught me a lot, and I still have a lot to learn from them."
Zhou Lingjun shook his head gently: "I think you haven't learned anything, you have only learned to say some high-sounding words."
Zhou Song knew very well how to deal with Zhou Lingjun's criticism. All he had to do was stay silent and listen. He was extremely skilled at doing this.
Zhou Lingjun asked again: "What happened last night? What trouble did you get into again?"
Last night, it probably meant that he was taken into the police station for questioning and asked Liang Xiao for help in the middle of the night, so it was inevitable that Zhou Lingjun was alarmed.
Zhou Song said: "I explained to Brother Ah Xie that I was just looking for a former classmate and accidentally got involved in a murder case."
Zhou Lingjun: "Do you think I don't know that the classmate you are looking for is Lan Lan and that the person who had the accident that night was Liu Qin?"
Zhou Song lowered his eyes and remained silent.
Zhou Lingjun sighed softly and said: "The past is in the past, and no one can change what has happened. Why don't you understand that you need to look forward in life instead of dwelling on the past."
Zhou Song had long expected that Zhou Lingjun only came to him to criticize and teach him, so he took it for granted and just waited for Zhou Lingjun to finish this good show of brotherly respect and let him go back to continue fishing.
He didn't answer for a long time, and the atmosphere became more and more tense. Liang Xie then smiled and said: "Brother means that you must know how to protect yourself. For example, last night, you should not enter Lan Lan's house without permission. If you notice anything unusual, you should avoid it in time.
, you can’t rush in. For a person with your status, if some negative news comes out, it will be very troublesome, and it will only do you harm."
Zhou Song: "I understand, thank you Brother Ah Xie."
Zhou Lingjun picked up the water glass, stood up and walked towards the desk: "I know that you never listen to what I say. You only listen to a word or two when I say it. It's no wonder, you are all young people, you
It’s easier to talk to him than to me. He should have told you that I let you work in the company to train you as a successor. My health is getting worse and worse. I will insist on it for three to five years at most. In the future, my family’s business will
need you--"
He suddenly stopped, the water glass in his hand smashed to pieces, and he was holding on to the edge of the table, his body unsteady.
Liang Xie rushed over in two or three steps: "Brother!"
Zhou Lingjun lost all color on his face, his lips turned pale in an instant, his eyebrows were wrinkled and he had difficulty breathing. He soon lost all consciousness and fell into a coma.
All this happened so suddenly, Zhou Song was stunned on the spot, at a loss.
Liang Xie shouted: "Call an ambulance quickly!"
Before the ambulance arrived, Liang Jie had been performing cardiopulmonary resuscitation on Zhou Lingjun, and then followed the ambulance to the hospital. Zhou Song followed outside the building and was stunned for a moment as he watched the ambulance go away quickly, then suddenly recovered and stopped him.
A taxi also went to the hospital.
He was a few minutes late and found Liang Xie in front of the emergency room. Zhou Lingjun was rescuing people in the operating room. Liang Xie was anxious and restless, walking up and down the corridor. When he saw Zhou Song following him, he didn't pay attention.
Zhou Song looked at the 'Under Surgery' light sign on the door, and an inexplicable sense of fear gradually stretched out from his heart like a spider's thread, weaving into a dragnet to trap him. Before that,
He only heard that Zhou Lingjun's health was getting worse day by day. He had fainted several times and had to go to the operating room several times, but his life was saved by a narrow margin. Today was the first time he saw Zhou Lingjun's life hanging by a thread in person.
This feeling of waiting to be pronounced life or death seemed familiar, just like hearing that Chi Chenguang was stabbed into the neck with a sharpened toothbrush handle in the detention center many years ago, and was sent to the hospital with his life or death uncertain. He remembered that he heard this in his bedroom.
News, his mother downstairs hurried out after receiving the call. He was very confused and vaguely knew that his mother was going to confirm whether Chi Chenguang was still alive, but he still couldn't understand the meaning of life and death, he was just scared. Now reliving the emotions of that year, suddenly
He suddenly remembered many things that he had forgotten. For example, after his mother left, someone walked into his bedroom to comfort him and held him in his arms. At that time, he was absent-minded and was only afraid, so he did not notice that there was another person beside him.
At this moment, the scene from that year was repeated, and he remembered that the person was Zhou Lingjun.
Thirty-one minutes into the operation, the operating door suddenly opened, and a nurse came out and said: "Family members of Zhou Lingjun, the patient is out of danger."
Liang Xie was overjoyed and clasped his hands together tightly, as if he was worshiping some god. Zhou Song felt light all over, took two steps back and leaned against the wall.
Liang Xie walked over and hugged him, his face filled with the joy of rebirth after the disaster: "It's okay, it's okay, he survived."
Zhou Song did nothing, but was very tired. He stood quietly for a while, looking down at the ground, and asked: "Brother, what's going on?"
Liang Xie's cell phone has been ringing since just now, and now he is in the mood to take out his cell phone and read the news, saying: "His body has a rejection reaction, and there are some postoperative complications." As he was talking, the cell phone rang again.
, he took the mobile phone and took two steps away to answer the call.
After listening to a few words, Zhou Song realized that the person talking to him was Zhou Lingjun's father, his uncle. He guessed that the Zhou family would come to the hospital to visit Zhou Lingjun soon, and he was obviously not suitable to be there. It happened that he was also
He didn't want to see them. So he took the elevator downstairs when Liang Xie wasn't paying attention.
When he walked out of the complex, there was a small garden in front of him. Many patients were enjoying the cool air and walking in the garden. He also walked in, picked a chair and sat down. He couldn't help but think of what Zhou Lingjun had not finished saying in the office; Zhou Lingjun said that his health was getting worse.
Things are getting worse and worse and he can't last long. The reason why he was allowed to join the company is to train him to be his successor.
He was deeply surprised. He didn't expect Zhou Lingjun to have this intention, or was it just a show? Even if Zhou Lingjun really planned to let him take over the company, the two elders of the Zhou family would never agree. Why did Zhou Lingjun do this? Is it to give him
Looking for a way out in the future life? This speculation has not been confirmed, but Zhou Song can't help but feel shaken. Thinking of Zhou Lingjun who just saved his life from the gate of hell, he feels sad and distressed.
He originally planned to never meet the old Zhou family, but he quietly changed his mind and wanted to go back and see Zhou Lingjun before leaving. Walking along the garden path, halfway through, he saw an acquaintance in a pavilion by the roadside, it was Yu Jiao.
.He and Yu Jiao met at a cocktail party. The dazzling and stunning Yu Jiao left a big impression on him, so he recognized her at a glance in the coffee shop before.
Yu Jiao has been giving birth for more than half a month, but she has not been discharged from the hospital yet. She is sitting in the pavilion in a white hospital gown, looking at a patch of peony flowers in trance. She has lost a lot of weight, her cheeks are sunken and she looks old, and her whole body is shrouded in resentment and coldness.
temperament.
Zhou Song walked into the pavilion and said, "Hello, Mrs. Hong. Do you still remember me?"
Yu Jiao's dead eyes moved slightly, she glanced at Zhou Song and said, "I don't remember."
Zhou Song: "But I remember you. I saw you at the Blue Island Cafe half a month ago."
Yu Jiao rolled her eyes and looked at him with a gloomy look.
Zhou Song added: "I told the police that you and Jin Tao met at Blue Island Coffee."
Yu Jiao's stiff face finally changed, and a cold and malicious light appeared in her eyes.
Zhou Song: "I also helped the police find your son, Hong Yibai." He smiled slightly, "Fortunately, I arrived in time and was able to save him from Fang Yaqing."
Tears suddenly flashed in Yu Jiao's eyes, and she stood up in a hurry to leave.
Zhou Song: "Is it Fang Yaqing?"
Yu Jiao turned her back to Zhou Song, stopped and looked back, the tears in her eyes dried up in the blink of an eye.
Zhou Song looked at her and asked, "Was Fang Yaqing the murderer who killed Qiao Yu at Shuanglong Bridge that night?"
Yu Jiao was silent.
Zhou Song said: "I know you saw the murderer."
Yu Jiao slowly exhaled and said, "Isn't this the result you want?"
Zhou Song frowned: "What's the result?"
Yu Jiao said: "I hate you. You have destroyed me. One day, I will die in your hands."
Yu Jiao left, and her words "I hate you" seemed to be her answer to Zhou Song.
She hates them, so she will never tell them the truth. She will lock everything that happened that night into a corner of her heart, and like her soul, she will never see the light of day again.
