Ring

"It's just an ordinary warning." Wei Tianci slowly exhaled the smoke ring.Under the dim light, blue smoke rose slowly, covering a pair of wily eyes.

Edgar still had a trademark smile on his lips, but his eyes were cold.He didn't evade, looked directly into the other person's eyes, and said word by word: "I'm afraid I can't accept your warning."

"Oh?" The cigarette butt fell to the ground and was crushed out with his feet.Wei Tianci slowly took two steps forward and looked at the young Western man closely.

"In the past two months, my little nephew has suddenly become eccentric, and he has been fighting against the board of directors. Moreover, he has made many colleagues in private - software engineers, business managers. Although he was not very obedient before, But there has never been much trouble. But who knows, in the past two months, he has been so bold as to mobilize the internal transactions of Inspur Enterprises."

"Insider trading is against the law." Edgar laughed, "Mr. Wei just told me such a shocking inside story?"

"As long as the company is big, there are always some shady things. Mr. Flanders will not understand this truth."

"Whatever you say." Edgar didn't care.He took out a recording pen and waved it in front of Wei Tianci's eyes: "However, if I hand over this evidence to the police, what should you do?"

"Don't you want 80% of the profit? That's 160 million US dollars."

"Of course I want money, but this money is not a life-saving straw, but dispensable. It's Mr. Wei. If I really make public what you did to the technical director of 'Silver Shield', Can you still be as calm as you assert yourself?"

Wei Tianci narrowed his eyes.He unhurriedly lit another cigarette and carefully looked at the person in front of him.

Edgar was right.The reason why I still attacked Wei Shen was because I still cared about the operation of Inspur Enterprise.Wei Tianci holds the shares of Inspur in order to make Inspur develop better and obtain more profits for himself.It is impossible for him to push the tide to the forefront with his own hands.

After various investigations and studies, Wei Tianci and several key personnel believed that there was no need for Inspur to set foot in the North American market within seven years.Therefore, Wei Tianci threw the abandoned "Silver Shield" project to Wei Shenzhi, and drove him back to the United States. It was originally a kind of "exile"-he just "defected" from Magi, did he have anyone under his command? And the reputation is not very good, Wei Tianci guessed that he would not be able to make a name for himself.

However, since signing the contract with the Western Open and getting to know the president of the Western Open, Wei Shenzhi seems to be a different person.In the handling of business, the means gradually became decisive.Although he still seems immature in handling many things, it is a world of difference compared to a few months ago.

Wei Tianci's old eyes turned a little emotion, and then it was covered up without leaving a trace.Edgar still chuckled lightly, but said nothing.

The dim light stretched his shadow very long.The eyebrows flying slantingly into the temples are like two thin swords, the long and narrow eyes are full of sharp questioning questions, and even the smile on the corners of the lips has become real or fake—perhaps mixed with a bit of irony and sarcasm.

He put his hands back into his pockets, raised his jaw slightly, and looked at Wei Tianci with a sneer.After confirming that Wei Shenzhi was fine, all the worries in his heart suddenly disappeared, and he turned back into the strategizing president of the Western Network.

"Flanders, you are really as pertinent in your analysis as rumored in the outside world, and your methods are top-notch." There is no honorific, "But to be honest, I don't understand you very well. No hatred, why do you want to make trouble with the board of directors of Inspur?"

"Because I don't think Wei Shenzhi did anything wrong. On the contrary, I appreciate his courage and determination."

"Excessive heroism will send people to the grave."

"That is far more valuable than the reputation and social status gained through kidnapping, extortion, extortion and other tricks."

Wei Tianci looked at him for a while.Then, he waved his hand and left with all the bodyguards in black.Wei Tianci's meaningful smile at the end did not escape Edgar's eyes. He knew that the other party would not let it go, and he also knew that Wei Tianci would not be concerned about the evidence he held in his hands—as long as he held power in his hand It is impossible for people who do not have a plan to deal with these "scandals".

However, these are not what he should be thinking about now.As soon as the other party left, Edgar picked up the mobile phone that was thrown on the ground by the other party, and immediately ran back to Wei Shenzhi and slowly helped him up.

"Can you stand up?"

"...Well, it's okay. Thank you."

…………

Wei Shenzhi sat on the front seat of the car, looking out the window with a complicated expression.The nightlife in Los Angeles is far less colorful than in Las Vegas.There were hardly any figures or vehicles on the wide street, only the dim street lights passing by his sight one by one.

He withdrew his gaze and inadvertently looked at Edgar who was driving on the left.The other party noticed his gaze, turned his head, and smiled back at him.

"Is it really okay if you insist on not going to the clinic?"

"Forget it, I was just beaten up by them." Wei Shenzhi sighed, "This injury is nothing, it will heal in a few days."

Edgar smiled and did not continue this topic: "The internal complexity of your Inspur company is simply beyond my imagination. Although I have a little awareness of your position in the hearts of Inspur executives, I never expected Your own uncle will actually kidnap you."

"How much do you know about the inside of the wave?"

"Not many, just the ones made public by the outside world."

Wei Shenzhi sighed again.He rubbed his sore brows.For some reason, he felt a little cold all over his body, and his vision was a little blurry—probably caused by the sudden relaxation after he was nervous.

Looking at the night speeding past outside the car window, he slowly closed his eyes.

Edgar parked the car in the parking lot of a hotel and helped Wei Shenzhi into the building.After opening two room cards with the lady at the front desk, he helped him into the room and sat up on the bed, then looked at him seriously.

"Wei, do you have a fever?" When he was helped up the elevator, he felt that the other person's body temperature was higher than usual.And after everything was settled, looking at Wei Shenzhi's appearance, it was obvious that he didn't look very healthy.

"...Huh? Um...Maybe, but it's okay, just get some sleep and you'll be fine tomorrow."

Edgar stretched out his hand to test the temperature of his forehead, then sat down beside the bed, and shook his head resentfully: "Is that why you don't care about your body?"

"You really care about me."

Unexpectedly, the other party would answer him like this, Edgar was taken aback.

"Since we met, you have been helping me. You taught me how to handle various business affairs, taught me how to negotiate with the other party efficiently, taught me how to grasp the other party's weaknesses, how to discover the other party's needs...more What's more, without your guidance, I'm afraid that I, a magi traitor, would have no chance to gain a foothold in Silicon Valley—this is exactly the purpose of my uncles and aunts."

Edgar didn't speak, just quietly waiting for his next words.

"...you saved me again today and sent me here...I am really grateful to you...very...very grateful..." Maybe it was because of the fever and injury, the originally deep and clear voice was also With a little vulnerability, "But...do you really regard me as your friend?"

"..." Edgar still didn't speak, but just helped him put two pillows behind his back to support his weak body.

"I wanted to tell you a long time ago, Edgar..." Wei Shenzhi smiled lightly, "I hope to be your friend, but I don't want you to look for the shadow of that girl on me... ...I want to be friends with you sincerely, instead of relying on the similarities with that girl...to get your false friendship..."

"How could our friendship be fake? How could I take you as her..." Even Edgar himself was startled when he said this, because he found that his fingers had been placed on his cheek, and his tone was even more serious. It's a tenderness that I didn't realize.

...can't lie to myself.Edgar, the moment you heard about his accident, who did you think of?

Wei Shenzhi smiled, grabbed the other's hesitant hand, and stuck it to his face.Edgar's body temperature was already lower than that of ordinary people, which brought some cooling to his hot skin.He rubbed against the other's palm again before smiling and looking at Edgar.

"Now? Who do you think of?"

"...You actually used the negotiating skills I taught you on me." Pushing the other party to the corner, and opening up the disguise and lies in front of the other party, I really learned a lot from what he gave him. into ten.

"I have learned more than that." Wei Shenzhi suddenly stretched out his hand, supported Edgar's shoulder, and leaned over.

The tip of their noses were only a few centimeters apart, and the other's rapid and warm breath brushed against Edgar's skin.Edgar's body froze.

Then, he slowly raised Edgar's chin, and moved his lips to the corner of his lips, and they could stick together with just a slight distance.

However, Wei Shenzhi also maintained this action without moving.After a long time, he slowly let go of him: "I'm different from her. I'm not a woman, and I can't give you what you want."

"I don't know whether to call you smart or cruel."

"Isn't being smart a kind of cruelty?" He laughed.

"I told you before that you are not yet an entrepreneur who can stand on your own. Haven't you thought about how you would fight against the board of directors of Inspur if I 'see' this clearly and I am a stranger to you? "

"If you don't help me from the standpoint of a friend, then I don't want to sell my dignity." Wei Shenzhi said, "The establishment of Inspur's equity at the beginning determined its nature—a big mess. And my parents He died half a year ago... Heh, and then all these open and secret struggles surfaced."

"You are very brave and strong, and you are willing to support such a big burden with your own strength."

"But I don't want to be the master of any company. I just want to be a code farmer, grow codes every day, and live a tiring and happy life."
