Before going up to the 22nd floor, Nangong Nuoya thought that if he arrived early, it would give the outsiders and the locals an illusion of weakness, so he took Li Xinzhi to his office to enjoy the air conditioning and deliberately arrived late.
As for Chu Xuecheng, he was tactful and said that he had other things to do today and left in advance. Since they met each other to confirm the cooperative relationship, it was also the purpose of this trip.
Of course, Nangong Nuoya knew that he didn't want to see his former colleagues, right? It was really embarrassing to think about it. It was very unpleasant when he left.
Sitting on the ergonomic chair that fits his back, Nangong Nuoya looked out the window. The blue sky was very beautiful. The floor where he was located was also a good position to overlook the bottom. But Nangong Nuoya didn't feel too much pleasure when he looked at the scenery. Instead, he felt a sense of being cold in a high place. How could he not know the situation he was facing now.
If it weren't for the residual power of his mother and some tricks he still had, it is estimated that these two waves of people would have beaten their brains. He has done his best to maintain this situation, but he still has more than enough, both mentally and physically.
But Nangong Nuoya didn't have the option of giving up. It was basically impossible for her to return to her family and become a rich lady. Not to mention the bad relationship between her and her brothers and sisters, she would be manipulated by those guys in her family without support.
But if she continued like this, she would sooner or later have to compete with Nangong Yehai and her eldest brother Nangong Cangwu. According to the unwritten rules, this was a fight where the winner took everything and the loser lost everything.
Nangong Nuoya couldn't help but let out a bitter smile. She was really being roasted on the fire and couldn't get away. The only thing she could decide was whether to sprinkle cumin or chili pepper.
""Haha." When she was upset, an inappropriate laugh appeared. According to common sense, Nangong Nuoya should be angry, but she felt relieved. After all, people who can talk and laugh freely in any predicament are people who can bring a sense of security.
"What's wrong, Xinzhi?"But Nangong Nuoya was still curious about what made Li Xinzhi laugh so happily.
"Qingjue sent me her makeup photos, so beautiful." Li Xinzhi raised his phone and shook it to show off. Nangong Nuoya took a closer look and found that she was indeed very beautiful.
It was not the treatment of a newcomer at all. Ji Qingjue's stage costume was very elegant and majestic, with a bright moon color as the background, matched with cherry-colored tassels, and a flower hair accessory tied on the left side of her hair. The photo seemed to be a shy selfie of Ji Qingjue, as if she wanted to give her sweetheart a surprise as soon as possible.
And this design was obviously the work of a famous designer. Li Xinzhi really doted on Ji Qingjue and gave her the maximum treatment and funding.
But when Nangong Nuoya wanted to send out"You guy, are you trying to bully single people?!"When she was complaining, her phone also vibrated. When she raised it, Nangong Nuoya also smiled with relief. It was sent by her troublesome childhood friend, Hoshino Rina. It was a photo of her, Kashiwagi Setsuna, and Ji Qingjue. The three of them were confidently posing in front of the camera, as if they were raw photos taken in advance for the magazine.
The design of Hoshino Rina and Kashiwagi Setsuna's stage costumes, from the appearance and atmosphere, was made by the same person as Ji Qingjue's. The only difference was the color. Hoshino Rina's was platinum, and Kashiwagi Setsuna's was the perfect blue flame color, which seemed to be a bit strange. It almost means rebirth from the ashes.
Looking at the happy smiles of these three important partners and juniors, Nangong Nuoya's gloom was swept away. He was not without support. Didn't he have so many friends?
Thinking of this, he felt that the time was about right. Nangong Nuoya stood up neatly and prepared to go upstairs to finish these trivial matters as soon as possible and go to watch the live show as soon as possible.
And he had to go, because just now, in addition to sending photos, Rina Hoshino also sent a threat, saying that if Nangong Nuoya dared to stand her up, he would have to tickle her for an hour next time they met.
"Are you ready to go up? Senior Noah."Looking at the actions of this ally, Li Xinzhi also stood up, straightened his collar, and prepared to set off.
"Yes, it's almost time... Thank you again for your willingness to accompany me in this muddy water.……"Nangong Nuoya responded to him seriously, but looking at Li Xinzhi with the same expression, he couldn't help but apologize to him. After all, this was a dilemma that he had a headache in, but he still pulled him in.
"It's okay, senior, an ugly daughter-in-law always has to meet her mother-in-law~" In order to liven up the atmosphere, Li Xinzhi deliberately responded to Nangong Nuoya in a naughty way, in order to repay this little devil for his prank
""Hmph! You are so frivolous!... Wait, Xinzhi, I'll get you something." Nangong Nuoya blushed and scolded the bad-hearted boy. She wanted to hide her blush and walked out the door directly, but she remembered something and went back to her desk.
This office was originally the territory of the former president, Qing Teng Shiyu, and after the successor was decided early, Nangong Nuoya naturally continued to work here, but the room did not change because of the change of owner.
Because Nangong Nuoya hoped to still be here and feel the presence of her mother, she ordered that nothing in the office should be moved, so she quickly found what she wanted in the drawer.
It was a pair of silver glasses, which was a token of love given by her mother Qing Teng Shiyu to her father Nangong Qingye. Although she didn't know why it returned here.
But she felt that Li Xinzhi should need it to conceal his identity now, but she also wanted to see what he looked like wearing glasses!
"Hey! Stand still, try this on, aren't you trying to hide your identity?!"
"Ah! Yes, I almost forgot, it is still the senior who thought it through."
Nangong Nuoya called Li Xinzhi, asked him to stand still, put the glasses on him personally, and then admired the fruits of his labor with satisfaction.
"How, how is it, is the image okay?"Li Xinzhi pushed the frame of his glasses. Although it was a bit abrupt, fortunately the degree was suitable, so he asked Nangong Nuoya how he was.
"Humph! You're such a scoundrel! Let's go!" Nangong Nuoya snorted proudly, put her hands behind her back and walked away, but her face was red and her heartbeat could not stop appearing, and she didn't seem to realize that she had given a very important gift.
Li Xinzhi looked at the little devil helplessly and followed her steps. Apart from anything else, this pair of glasses is quite suitable for him.
…………
Li Xinzhi was holding a crystal glass and shaking the non-alcoholic drink in the glass.
Looking at all kinds of people with ulterior motives in the venue, toasting each other, talking and laughing with hypocritical masks, as if the atmosphere of the unlimited fighting competition just now did not exist at all.
After Li Xin was introduced, a weird atmosphere enveloped the venue, because Nangong Nuoya had already introduced the value and ability of this ally in advance, so after greeting the elders, they talked about their own things and deliberately avoided Li Xinzhi.
But Li Xinzhi could feel all kinds of eyes directed at him, some were alert, some were watching, some were terrified, and some were uneasy. Even if Li Xinzhi deliberately stood in a remote place, he still became the focus of the center.
"Are you okay?"
When Li Xinzhi finished his drink and was about to go get a refill, Nangong Nuoya, who had just finished a round of socializing, came over with two drinks and handed them to him, while asking him about his condition with concern.
"It's okay, senior, but the atmosphere in your company is really tense."Li Xinzhi accepted the lady's kindness with a smile, and then whispered his sharp comments in Nangong Nuoya's ear.
This situation is almost on the verge of internal fighting. Fortunately, Nangong Nuoya has the patience to continue to maintain it. If it were him, he would have overturned the table and started fighting.
"There is no way, there are all kinds of complicated factors, I am not as free and easy as Master Xinzhi!"
Nangong Nuoya glanced at Li Xinzhi and responded to him somewhat unhappy. In this situation, you are in you and I am in me. Everyone is afraid of both ends.
They are all old cunning people waiting for someone to be the first to fire the first shot. Nangong Nuoya can only maintain his position by relying on the art of balance. Isn't this suicide?
"If you don't make a decision, you will suffer the consequences."
But in the previous life, Li Xinzhi, who had rich experience in struggle, said a famous saying.
It can be regarded as providing some life experience for young guys. Struggling is not a dinner party, it really costs lives.
Facing this situation, no matter what, it is hospice care, and it is time to make some plans for the future.
"Yeah, but……"
"Ms. Noah"
"Noah."
Nangong Noah glanced at Li Xinzhi, who was serious and a little scary at the moment. When she wanted to say something, Zhao Linyi and his only son Zhao Zhongzheng came over, so she had to immediately return to her businesslike smile and respond.
"Uncle Zhao, I haven't seen Zhongzheng for a long time."
Although he was apprehensive, Nangong Nuoya still forced a smile and clinked glasses with the two people. However, unlike Zhao Zhongzheng who drank the drink immediately, Zhao Linyi politely extended the glass to Li Xinzhi who was standing beside him.
"Hello, Mr. Li, this is your first time here. Are you getting used to this place?"
"It's a pretty good environment, but it seems that there will be a bloody disaster recently."
Li Xinzhi and Zhao Linyi clinked their glasses with each other, and after drinking, they communicated frankly like friends, which made Nangong Nuoya and Zhao Zhongzheng a little confused.
They all knew that Zhao Linyi was a very arrogant person, but they didn't expect him to be so respectful to Li Xinzhi at first sight, and Zhao Zhongzheng was even more unhappy.
This guy was so close to Nangong Nuoya, and so intimate. There is no doubt that he is his rival in love. Why is his father so polite to him?
"That's really direct, but I really like frank young people."
"You're welcome, Mr. Zhao, are you saying that you're old?"
But unlike the two young people who couldn't see through the situation, the old foxes of similar mental age began to spy on each other openly and secretly. They deliberately tested each other's temperament and reaction. The first time Li Xinzhi and Zhao Linyi looked at each other, they knew that the other was not an ordinary person.
Zhao Linyi knew that the moment Nangong Nuoya was going to announce a new ally, he was alert to investigate Li Xinzhi's intelligence, but this guy's sense of confidentiality was so strong that it was abnormal.
No matter how he spied, he couldn't get more information, and he didn't even know where he lived.
But the fact that he could subdue Chu Xuecheng and swallow up Wei Wenpi's industry was enough to show his danger.
Zhao Linyi had dealt with both of them and knew their troubles, but Li Xinzhi could actually subdue these two Buddhas.
"However, Mr. Li is so impressive, I wonder which family he is from?"Just when Zhao Linyi and Li Xinzhi were talking to each other with a fake smile, a heartless voice interrupted them.
Zhao Zhongzheng couldn't stand this atmosphere, and asked Li Xinzhi about his life directly with the arrogance of a young master, which made Zhao Linyi glare at his son angrily. Wouldn't this alert the enemy?
"I don't have any noble blood, I'm just an ordinary person."Li Xinzhi shrugged at Zhao Zhongzheng's provocative gaze and responded to him very calmly, thinking that this guy was really a typical second-generation rich kid.
"Oh, so, then Nuoya, you really misjudged me!" Zhao Zhongzheng laughed sarcastically after hearing this, and looked at Nangong Nuoya with some ridicule. Obviously, marrying him can solve the problem, why bother yourself.
Nangong Nuoya looked at this young master with some dissatisfaction. It's fine if he wants to ask for help from me.
But he also wants to take action against Hoshino Rina. If it weren't for his father, I would have found an opportunity to deal with him long ago.
"However, I think the result is the only truth to test the facts. Mr. Zhao Linyi, your son still needs to be disciplined."
If it was in the past, if you dare to say such words to Li Xinzhi, he will definitely write it on his list for revenge in the future.
However, after many years of ups and downs, Li Xinzhi has developed a good temper. He did not get angry directly, but treated his son like a kid and asked his parents to discipline their own naughty child.
"Sorry, Mr. Li, I'm sorry. We still have a chance to get to know each other in the future. Excuse me."
Angry at his own unfilial son's embarrassing himself, and also afraid of Li Xinzhi's calm and composed style, Zhao Linyi rudely pulled his son away from Li Xinzhi and Nangong Nuoya.
At the same time, he secretly regarded him as an enemy. With such ability and firm support for Nangong Nuoya's position, it is absolutely impossible for him to be his friend or compromise.
"Phew~ Senior, your subordinates are such a hassle. I'm ashamed that you could endure this long."
"If I don't do this, I'll be left alone."
After watching the two men leave, Li Xinzhi and Nangong Nuoya smiled and shrugged, joking with each other, each of them filled with joy that they had finally sent the plague god away.
"However, it seems that the father and son have already dug up the wall and are ready to be independent."After joking, Li Xinzhi bluntly expressed his opinion. From the tone of the father and son, he could not see any respect for Nangong Nuoya at all. It was estimated that it was almost time for them to turn against each other.
"Yes, it feels like it's almost time. If Uncle Yan wasn't here, it would have split long ago.……"Nangong Nuoya nodded affirmatively, but he still had a trump card, that is Yan Zaigui.
He is the direct descendant of his father Nangong Qingye, and is also a loyal elder. At the same time, he also insisted on his competition in the Nangong family. Although he once avoided giving him an answer because of family issues.
But Nangong Nuoya felt that it was time to formally reply to Yan Zaigui, because no matter how you look at it, the interests and intentions of the two are now very consistent.
"Second Miss……"
When Nangong Nuoya was thinking about how to discuss important matters with Yan Zaigui, Yan Zaigui came over with a pale face, holding a wine glass, with love for the younger generation.
"Uncle Yan? Really, don't drink if you're in this condition!"Nangong Nuoya looked at Yan Zaigui, whose liver disease was so obvious, and took his wine glass with some distress, and replaced it with a glass of lemonade for him.
"Haha, sorry, it's an old question. Excuse me, are you Mr. Li?" Yan Zaigui responded to his niece with a complicated smile in the face of this concern, and at the same time cast his eyes on Li Xinzhi who was standing beside him.
"Hello, Mr. Zaigui, I have heard of your great name for a long time!"Li Xinzhi was impressed by Yan Zaigui's approachable aura, and quickly responded to him respectfully. He had heard Nangong Nuoya's introduction.
Yan Zaigui was in the Linhai branch, in charge of the budget audit decision-making department.
I heard that he also graduated from the Finance Department of Sioux University, so he was his senior.
So Li Xinzhi liked Yan Zaigui very much, and from his tone, he could feel his heartfelt love and respect for Nangong Nuoya.
"Haha, with such a good son-in-law, your parents should be relieved. Have you told Qingye?"After greeting, Yan Zaigui looked at Nangong Nuoya with a loving face, and felt that her relationship with Li Xinzhi was unusual.
Nangong Nuoya, who has always been very defensive against others, is so close to this boy. It must be a good thing.
"Really, Uncle Yan! Mr. Li is just an ally!"Nangong Nuoya blushed and denied, really.
Why did she tease me with this for so many years today, and now the concubine has a lover but the man has no interest in her, what does it matter to her?
"Hmm? But those glasses look so familiar to me?" Yan Zaigui looked at the glasses that Li Xinzhi was wearing and felt that they looked very familiar, because his friend wore them every day like a treasure.
""Okay, Uncle Yan, let's talk about something else first!... I have decided to compete with my sister. No matter what, I don't want to admit defeat like this."
Nangong Nuoya quickly stopped Yan Zaigui from continuing, and at the same time, she responded to Yan Zaigui's decision with a serious face.
Nangong Nuoya has always been grateful to Yan Zaigui for his selfless help to herself who was worried physically and mentally in the most difficult times. If it weren't for his efforts to turn the tide, the Linhai branch would have been divided up long ago.
But as an outsider, he naturally suffered a lot of exclusion and suppression, and Nangong Nuoya, as a leader, couldn't be too biased towards any side, so she felt that Yan Zaigui's problems were caused by pressure, and she couldn't stop feeling guilty.
"Second Miss...haha, you've grown up.……"But unlike what Nangong Nuoya expected, Yan Zaigui would happily respond to her.
His expression was so complicated, helpless, and even with a hint of a bitter smile, which made her a little overwhelmed for a while.
"Uncle Yan...you……"Nangong Nuoya couldn't help but feel a little worried. Could it be that Yan Zaigui's condition had worsened and he could no longer accompany her?
"……Mr. Li, my second daughter is a very good person. Although she has some minor troubles, I beg you to accompany her well."
Yan Zaigui did not respond directly to Nangong Nuoya, but entrusted Li Xinzhi with a serious look. Although they had only met for a short time, he knew that this boy was worthy of entrustment.
"Mr. Jae-gyu... Don't worry, I won't betray Senior Noah!" Li Xinzhi looked at this man who seemed weak but still had his will burning, and replied in the affirmative.
"Haha, I feel relieved now. I'll see the second lady later. I have something to deal with."Yan Zaigui nodded with satisfaction, looking at Nangong Nuoya who was about to cry.
When he opened his mouth to say something, the sound of vibration in his pocket interrupted him.
Like a death warrant, feeling that the moment of decision was coming, Yan Zaigui gently told Nangong Nuoya the last lie, and waved goodbye for the time being.
…………
After reading the message on the phone, he sighed, thinking of the girl he had watched grow up.
After she finally grew into a monster that he could not see through, Yan Zaigui felt that it was time to take action.
At the last moment of his life, he would bet everything, his career, his reputation, to do something earth-shattering.
To be a traitor nailed to the pillar of shame, and the only reward he could get for all this was the safety of his family...
But Yan Zaigui still felt afraid and shaken, after all, humans face death.
It is normal to be afraid and retreat. At this time, you need a fuse, a fuse that can completely detonate the explosives in your heart.
Yan Zaigui stared at Zhao Linyi, his most despised enemy, with a ferocious look. The anger in his heart was like a wildfire on the grass, burning uncontrollably.
Zhao Linyi noticed this sight and returned the same look. How could he not hate this man who hindered his ambitions?
"Stop looking so sad and have a drink, Zaigui. Seeing that the atmosphere between the two was about to explode, Wei Jingzhong hurriedly stood between them and acted as a peacemaker. At the same time, he poured a glass of mint water and handed it to Yan Zaigui, hoping that he would calm down.
Yan Zaigui looked at this colleague and the cup he handed to him, his eyes kept turning around, and finally fixed his sight.
But he did not take the mint water in Wei Jingzhong's left hand, but grabbed the whiskey in his right hand.
"Ah!" Wei Jingzhong was shocked, watching this colleague who was always elegant drinking like a bandit, guzzling down whiskey without regard for his life. Didn't he have a serious liver disease? Why was he drinking without regard for his life?
"Ha, ha, ha, ha... Huh!"Alcohol makes cowards brave. Under the stimulation of alcohol, Yan Zaigui's murderous intent and courage were completely released. He panted like a wild animal and felt that he could release all his patience.
"Jingzhong! If you don't support the second lady, who else can do it!"Yan Zaigui shouted, like thunder, scolding this colleague, instantly attracting the attention of the whole audience
"Second Miss, how can you accomplish anything great with such a worm?!"
Yan Zaigui's eyes were red at this moment, staring at Nangong Nuoya who was looking at him in shock, pointing his finger at his enemy Zhao Linyi and shouting at him.
At this moment, Zhao Linyi was also confused by the sudden madness of this pair of enemies, and began to feel that something was wrong, something was going to happen
"Zhao Linyi! You bastard!"
Sure enough, his premonition was right. Yan Zaigui roared, sprinted in front of Zhao Linyi with big strides, and pulled out a revolver from his arms.
Bang! Bang!
Two gunshots startled the whole audience. People present instinctively ran to the exit, and Zhao Linyi fell in the chaos, shot in two places, one was the left hand that was subconsciously raised to block, and the other was the chest.
Because he stayed in school abroad, received training, and had considerable shooting experience, Yan Zaigui was proud of his marksmanship.
Confirming that the enemy began to bleed, Yan Zaigui turned his face like a beast and locked his target on Nangong Nuoya.
At this moment, Nangong Nuoya was completely frightened, and her legs couldn't stop shaking. She couldn't believe that Yan Zaigui suddenly attacked her. Her mind was blank, and she couldn't help but run with her legs.
Yan Zaigui looked at Nangong Nuoya like this, and his compassion arose, but he had embarked on this path, and he had to do it to the end.
Otherwise, he couldn't guarantee the safety of his family, so Yan Zaigui raised the muzzle of his gun at Nangong Nuoya with the mentality of a beast.
"Senior Nuoya!"
Li Xinzhi, who was pushed by the crowd, finally broke free, and then saw Yan Zaigui raising his gun to Nangong Nuoya, and ran over shouting.
I must catch up! I must catch up!
Somehow, Li Xinzhi suddenly had a noise in his mind, forcing himself to catch up, and not let���Gong Nuoya was shot dead.
Bang!
"Ah! Xinzhi!!!"
The gunshot rang out, and Nangong Nuoya, who had closed her eyes and waited for death, was hugged by Li Xinzhi, who arrived at the moment of lightning and flint. He hugged Nangong Nuoya in those few seconds, but the ruthless bullet also hit him.
Nangong Nuoya hugged Li Xinzhi, reacted, and then shouted in despair, with his own tears, feeling that he was going to lose another important person?!
