Rebirth: My 80s

Time goes back to two days ago.

Port city.

Boom!

The white porcelain coffee cup fell from his hand and hit the solid wood floor, staining a large area of ​​the floor with the dark red liquid.

Effie, who was sitting behind the mahogany desk, grabbed the microphone with both hands and asked in a roar:

"What did you say?!"

"Boss Ai, you... heard it right. The chairman's plane deviated from its course and crashed in Cambodia. The current casualties are unknown. I have arranged for someone to go there, and I am ready to leave immediately."

"no no……"

Effie was in a trance, wondering if she was dreaming, but the pain of her nails digging into her flesh told her that all this was real:

"Don't leave! Wait for me, I'll be there soon."

Just as Effie was about to hang up the phone, a voice came from the other end:

"Wait a minute, Mr. Ai. Excuse me for being blunt, but it may not be appropriate for you to leave now. A reporter has already found Cathay Pacific, and the news may soon be exposed. You have to stay in Hong Kong to take charge of the situation."

"Do I need you to teach me how to do things?!"

"...don't dare."

Having said that, the other party did give Effie, who was confused, a reminder.

The aftermath of the financial crisis is still there, and if such unfavorable news were to be revealed at this time, the impact would certainly not be small.

After hanging up the phone, Effie immediately called several vice presidents under her and gave them a thorough explanation. One principle:

Use all your strength to temporarily block the news.

In Hong Kong City, they already have this foundation.

Da da da……

After the short meeting, Effie left a few people behind and ran to the office door. For the first time, she hated such a large office.

She screamed and prayed in her heart:

Brother, nothing must happen to you!

You will be fine!

If even you are gone, what else do I have in this world?

Tears flowed down my cheeks uncontrollably.

When I met an employee of Effie's group on the road, he took a glance at her and quickly lowered his head, pretending not to see her.

But my mind was full of questions. I didn't understand what had happened that made Mr. Ai so sad.

……

……

Special zone.

Ran Zi held the phone in her hand, her eyes instantly turned red, and she changed her polite attitude towards everyone and cursed:

"You bastards, you must be mistaken!"

"Secretary Ran, the fact that we dare to call you means that we have confirmed again and again that the plane is indeed the chairman's private plane."

"Impossible, impossible, how could the boss..."

Ran Zi couldn't say the following words, and her tears rolled down like beads from a broken string.

"Secretary Ran, the chairman is too mysterious and only you know him best. There is an important matter that perhaps only you can do:

"Do you think we should notify the chairman's family?"

Ran Zi suddenly roared:

“I can’t believe he’s gone just like that!

"Did you find his...body?"

A voice came from the other end of the phone: "The crash caused a forest fire. Cambodian personnel are still fighting the fire and have not been able to get close to the wreckage of the plane.

"But, after what I said, you should understand that even if there are survivors, they can't escape this fire. You—"

"You bastard!" Ran Zi cursed.

There were bitter smiles on the other end of the phone.

He was just telling the truth.

"I'm about to cross the harbour. Please arrange for me to go to Cambodia. I'll do it right away after I arrive!"

"This……"

"I'm the chairman's senior personal assistant. Why, as soon as the chairman got into trouble, my words are no longer effective?"

"Don't dare, I'll arrange it right away. So, what did I say?"

"Bullshit! I won't admit that he's dead until I see the chairman's body, and he won't agree to let me notify his family."

"Secretary Ran, I must remind you: if the chairman is indeed gone, his immediate family will inherit his property, and then they will blame me for not notifying you immediately—"

"I will bear all the responsibility alone!"

"Thank you."

……

……

Across the ocean, America.

"Can you say that again?!"

Liu Jingyan sat in the boss chair that seemed to still have the residual warmth of Li Jiankun, holding the white microphone in one hand, her eyes wide open, suspecting that there was something wrong with her ears.

The call was from Los Angeles World Airports Corporation.

"I'm sorry, Ms. Liu, the news has been confirmed. The special plane that Mr. Li was on did crash and deviated to Cambodia..."

hum-

Liu Jingyan didn't hear what the other party said next.

My mind went blank in an instant.

It was as if the sky suddenly collapsed.

"He's okay, right? Tell me, he's okay!" Liu Jingyan shouted into the microphone.

"The casualties are currently unknown and we need to wait for further news."

"Special planes have parachutes. Even if there is danger, he can still parachute, right?" Liu Jingyan asked hurriedly with infinite anticipation.

“Since you asked this question, I must answer you professionally:

“Usually, the parachutes on such large passenger planes are just a decoration or a kind of psychological comfort.

"When a plane is flying at an altitude of 10,000 meters, if an irreparable failure occurs, a parachute will be of no use."

"..."

Liu Jingyan was stunned for a while, then suddenly screamed:

"Damn it! Didn't you do a comprehensive inspection before the plane took off? How could there be a malfunction?

"I'm telling you, if anything happens to him, I will sue your company until it goes bankrupt!"

God knows how much cold sweat the person on the other end of the phone broke out in. He said weakly:

"Please calm down. Our personnel are about to leave and will find the black box to find out the cause. I must say: it is possible that this is not a mistake in fault detection."

That Boeing 767 belongs to Cathay Pacific.

But the shutdown at Los Angeles International Airport has caused the airport management company, Los Angeles World Airports Corporation, to pay high fees, including the cost of fault detection and maintenance.

"Wait a minute, I'm going too!"

"...Okay, please hurry up."

When Liu Jingyan stood up from her chair, her eyes were full of stars, her head felt heavy and her feet felt dizzy, and she almost fell down.

My mind is full of the scene before my master left.

How could a godlike man like that die in an accident?

Liu Jingyan pointed out the French window and cursed:

"You thief God, give him back to me!

"Otherwise, I will kill everyone in the world!!!"

After she said this, Liu Jingyan's long hair moved without wind, and the ends of her hair curled upwards.

……

……

just now.

Last night, Xia Pineapple stayed at a farmer's house and spent the whole morning asking around in the town.

Quite a few people knew that a plane crashed not too far from here.

But I haven't heard of anyone looking for survivors.

Naturally, there is no contact information.

In desperation, Xia Boli had no choice but to call the police.

At the counter in front of a convenience store, Xia Boli almost got into an argument with the boss because he was asked to pay for calling the police.

If you don’t pay, you are not allowed to touch the phone.

Nothing.

Xia Boli could only take out the little money he had left from the secret pocket sewn into his sleeves.

This cost her two hundred riels.

Economic problems are becoming more and more serious, and money is becoming less and less valuable.

After the call was connected, Xia Pineapple explained the situation.

The originally listless voice suddenly became energetic:

"You mean the survivors of the crashed Boeing?"

"Yes, he said he parachuted down, and the huge parachute is still on the mountain behind our village."

"what is his name?"

"My Chinese name is Li Jiankun, and my English name is Jack Lee."

"Great, he's actually alive!"

"Officer, who is he?"

"Little girl, I'm telling you, you're in luck. Don't worry about anything else, just tell me your exact location right now, in detail! Then don't leave, wait right where you are, and I promise you won't suffer any loss."

"……Oh."

After the call ended, Xia Boli was indeed waiting there.

Unfortunately, she had finished the rice ball she brought with her early.

There was not much money left in my pocket, and I had to save it for daily necessities and medicine for my mother.

She squatted by the wall outside the store, her eyes glancing at the many foods in the wooden shelf and glass counter, and she couldn't help swallowing.

Since she finished her work in the city and returned to the village, she has not eaten any snacks. Occasionally, when she feels craving, she will pick some fruits from the mountains to satisfy her craving.

Her favorite crackers were on the counter.

I really want to eat a piece... she thought.

time flies.

When the police officer said "it's hard work for a while", he didn't mean it.

Summer pineapples bloom from when the sun is bright in the sky to when the sun sets in the west.

She hesitated whether to leave first. It seemed that she could not go back tonight. She had to go and beg the kind farmer from last night to see if he could take her in for another night and get some water to drink.

She felt so thirsty that she could drink from a river…

Just when Xia Pineapple was hesitating.

The originally quiet town suddenly became arrogant, and the only road leading into the town was filled with dust and smoke, which quickly swept over.

It was as if a prehistoric beast had ended its slumber and rushed into the town.

Rumbling--

All the residents of the town were alarmed and came out to look out.

“Is that a tank?”

"What a bullshit tank! It's terrible to be uneducated. That's called an armored vehicle."

"Why are the armored vehicles coming to us if they are not going to fight?"

There is a war going on in Cambodia right now, trying to resist the invasion of Vietnam.

Even people in this border town knew that there were not many such armored vehicles in their kingdom.

And before my eyes, a team appeared...

"Shit, are the enemies attacking us?!"

Someone's words made everyone panic.

The lead vehicle of the armored convoy stopped in front of "Amin's Grocery Store".

clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap...

All the car doors opened quickly, like a series of cannon shots.

The soldiers armed with live ammunition jumped down first.

Then there were many foreigners who were well-dressed and had extraordinary demeanor.

Some of the women were exceptionally beautiful.

The men in the town were so greedy that they drooled.

"Who is Xia Pineapple?!"

The leading soldier looked around and asked loudly.

This man was quite old, and everyone subconsciously looked at his epaulettes. They all trembled with fear, as they found that he was a general.

A general.

Xia Boli was a little confused. He swallowed a bit of saliva that no longer existed, raised his hand weakly, and uttered a sound from his cracked lips:

"I?"

The general looked in the direction of the voice and shouted, "What do you mean 'I'? If it is, it is. If it is not, it is not!"

Xia Pineapple's body shook violently.

"General Dunno, please be gentle. She may be our boss's benefactor."

Aife, Ran Zi, and Liu Jingyan came over together.

Dunnuo smiled awkwardly: "Okay, okay."

There's nothing we can do. These guys are too rich and powerful.

The three women in front of them had been to the palace once before, and when they came out, the queen personally saw them off.

Rumor has it that there is an agreement:

If Cambodia can find their boss alive.

They will invest billions of dollars to help Cambodia's economic development.

Dunnuo estimated that the Minister of Finance must be burning incense at home, praying that their boss was not dead.

Since not enough bodies were found on the hill where the plane crashed, this kind of luck has become a possibility, and the propaganda department is planning a nationwide "Search for Li Jiankun" campaign.

Unexpectedly, the good news came so quickly.

"Can you speak English or Chinese?"

Aifei walked up to Xia Boli, suppressed her impatience, and asked politely with a smile.

“Yes, a little bit of Chinese.”

"Great!"

Liu Jingyan couldn't help but interrupt and ask, "Where is our boss now?"

"You, boss?"

Xia Boli looked at the three women in front of him in surprise. They were so respectable that they could even mobilize the army and dared to scold the general.

She imagined that Brother Li might have some background.

But I never expected it to be so powerful.

"exist--"

The voice stopped abruptly, Xia Boli's eyes turned black, and his body went limp.

The three women in front of her hurriedly reached out their hands at the same time to support her, preventing her from falling to the ground.

Dunnuo glared and said, "Damn it, you fainted at this time? Don't die!"

"General Dunno!"

"Ohhh, look at my mouth..."

"Water! Bring me some water!" Ran Zi waved behind her.

In addition to the military, there were many other people traveling with them, including the president and vice president of Cathay Pacific Airways, people from Los Angeles World Airports, and people from the royal palace...

"Military doctor, military doctor!"

Xia Pineapple, who felt as humble as grass, had never enjoyed such treatment in his life:

Three women who ran a trillion-dollar empire knelt on the ground and hugged her.

The Admiral personally brought her water.
