After the black moonlight washed the white, all the crematoriums [Transmigration Book]
Chapter 21 Abuse of scum. [Enter v3 update]
"What did you say……"
It took a long time for Gu Heng's voice to finally resound in the quiet living room.
"Xiaoheng, I said that incident was not the secret of Xingcheng, you have always misunderstood him..."
"Stop!" Before Lao Cao finished speaking, the deep voice sounded again, "I'll take you home."
After finishing speaking, he got up and took Lao Cao's arm, "Let's go."
Luo Ming and Xiao Zhang were dumbfounded.
"Hey, hey." Lao Cao could only agree, and when he walked to the door, he still looked back at Lin Xingcheng.
Lin Xingcheng waved to him: "Teacher Cao, go slowly."
A gentle and calm voice.
Hearing this sound, Gu Heng's background paused slightly, and he glanced at Lin Xingcheng from the corner of his head, but he didn't dare to stay on him, and after a hasty look, he quickly left the door.
The cornerstone of hatred he built for himself in his heart, the cornerstone of treating Bai Yueguang wantonly after taking him in, and the cornerstone of making up for his youthful scars... had collapsed in just a moment and turned into powder.
Everything he did before has become a joke, Luo Ming's gaze, Xiao Zhang's gaze, especially Lin Xingcheng's gaze...he can no longer face everything here.
No matter how much he pretended to be cruel, he might not be able to conceal how disheartened he was right now.
……
After getting into the car, Lao Cao was still apologizing: "I didn't expect to affect the relationship between your classmates for so long because of a mistake that year..."
Gu Heng didn't answer, and after sitting in silence for a few minutes with his lips pursed, he suddenly anxiously took out the communicator and turned it on.
He found Lin Xingcheng's name, hesitated for a moment, then pressed the message button, then quickly entered and sent it.
Outside the window, the snow fell silently, gradually piled higher and higher on the treetops, and finally bent the treetops, and fell to the ground with a "click".
... However, it was not only the treetops that were bent, but also his self-righteous dignity.
He sent more than a dozen messages to Lin Xingcheng in the car, but Lin Xingcheng didn't reply to any of them.
……
In the bedroom, the system was reading one of the messages without emotion: "Xing Cheng, remember the shredded pork noodles that night, you scooped up all the shredded pork noodles for me... Gu Heng is writing a small composition, I Goosebumps are about to rise. How can you lose weight and not eat meat?"
Lin Xingcheng: "I just finished eating that night and passed away. My stomach is too full. I was afraid that the meat would be wasted, so I picked it for him."
System: "...Then do you want to reply to his message now?"
Lin Xingcheng thought for a while: "I don't think it's necessary?"
System: "...I support it [-]%. So you plan to keep pretending to have amnesia?"
"Gu Heng was betrayed by the most trusted Liang Guan. I also forgot about him. During this period of time, he has already triggered the "Isolation and Helpless" debuff. You can remind Yu Ningqiu that this is an opportunity to take advantage of the situation."
"Ah, you are indeed a gold medal employee of our company. He is thoughtful. The main thing is that you have to do new tasks. How can you waste so much energy on him."
Lin Xingcheng: "Yes."
System: "By the way, when did you remember it, tell me quickly, I'm so anxious."
Lin Xingcheng: "I remembered it when I poured him tea yesterday."
System: "...It scared me to death. This is the first time I have experienced amnesia in the dream world. I almost have to learn how you hurt the character and report back to the company."
Lin Xingcheng: "..."
You just can't learn something good.
System: "Then how did you remember it? Is it the feeling of an electric shock in your head?"
"...I'm not an AI. In fact, during that time, I didn't seem to have completely lost my memory. It seemed that my memory was biased, some were blurred, and some were stuffed in again. I remembered something from the past."
"The thing before, how long ago, in high school?"
"Before joining Dream Realization Company."
"..." The system took a breath.
In order to ensure that employees have pure emotions in the dream world, employees will have their previous memories blocked by the company before joining the company, including his AI.
Lin Xingcheng actually remembered things in the real world because of the amnesia caused by his brain's self-protection?
Lin Xingcheng: "However, I'm too sure, and the time is very short. I just can feel that although that memory is very similar to this one, it should not belong to the dream world."
"My God, the main system doesn't allow us to think about the past." The system said, then paused, "Then Gu Heng gave you back Little Moonlight, is that also one of the reasons for you to pretend to have amnesia?"
Lin Xingcheng nodded, "If the memory I accidentally recalled really belongs to the 'before', then Little Moonlight has not been destroyed. I want to try it."
system:"……"
Lin Xingcheng: "Let me ask you, have you read the entrustment agreement that Yu Ningqiu signed with the main system?"
System: "I've seen it."
"What price will he pay?"
"Ah, there is no need to pay any price." The system said, "He is the chosen one, just like the protagonists of those novels, just set up according to the person and have fun... All the clients are the chosen ones. "
Lin Xingcheng pondered for a moment, then smiled and said, "You sound envious."
System: "Hey, who wouldn't want to be the Chosen Son of the day."
Just as he was talking, Lin Xingcheng's communicator rang.He took a look, it was Gu Heng.
System: "Are you ready?"
Lin Xingcheng picked it up, but Gu Heng suddenly fell silent, as if he didn't expect the other party to pick it up, and he didn't know how to speak for a while.
There was a gasping sound on the other end of the phone, as if about to speak, but another voice came first, "Sir, can you go, our parking space is full, your car is not registered in the community, don't occupy the parking space ..."
It is the security of the community.
Without waiting for Gu Heng to speak, Lin Xingcheng said immediately: "Mr. Gu, I'm sorry, I really don't have any impression of the message you sent. Goodbye."
System: "What a helpless debuff... I want to play games."
A week later, the Gu's Group Consciousness Bracelet Conference was held.
After Liang Guan pleaded guilty, Gu's plagiarism scandal was clarified, and he urgently purchased materials to make a batch of bracelets, which were finally launched before the end of the year.
Yu Ningqiu was invited to the press conference because she was the spokesperson and the first consciousness input experience officer.
At the backstage of the press conference, Gu Heng, as the helm of the Gu family, is going to give a speech for the press conference today.
Today, he is wearing a well-fitting and exquisite high-end suit. In addition, he is already outstanding in appearance, and he has a noble temperament in every gesture. He looks very attractive.
However, only Yu Ningqiu beside him could tell that Gu Heng's condition was actually not that good.
Before the press conference started, Yu Ningqiu asked Gu Heng's new secretary to clear the backstage.
"uncomfortable?"
Gu Heng: "No."
Yu Ningqiu thought of what the system reminded him a few days ago to take the opportunity to care for him, so he sat next to Gu Heng and stroked his back: "Heng, no matter what happens, you still have me by your side. I will always be by your side."
Gu Heng lowered his head and blinked his eyelashes slightly: "Really."
Yu Ningqiu: "Really."
As he said, he rested his head on Gu Heng's shoulder and rubbed it, "Don't think about people who are not worth loving. I will be with you, we have everything, and we will be very happy."
……
15 minutes later, the product launch officially began.
Gu Heng also started his speech and presentation.
As a celebrity guest, Yu Ningqiu sat down and watched him all the time.
The man spoke completely out of script, his voice and tone were just right, the warm lighting made him exude a calm and professional sense of dignity, and the occasional humor made him look handsome and charming—although he was not in good condition, But he is Gu Heng after all.
"The company asked me to think of an attractive advertisement for this bracelet. What I want to say is that Gu's products never need advertisements."
After Gu Heng finished speaking, there was an instant "wow--" from the audience, and the sound was extremely enthusiastic.
The press conference was broadcast live in real time. Hearing these remarks at this moment, the audience watching the live broadcast were also elated.
[Wow, Gu Heng is so handsome today! 】
【Wow! 】
【He has always been handsome, but he rarely shows up. 】
Yu Ningqiu also heard someone talking about his handsomeness.
In fact, Gu Heng seldom shows up in public. One is that he is already busy, and the other is that he doesn't care about the additional benefits brought by his appearance.
But Yu Ningqiu is a newly rising star, and he is instinctively sensitive to the number of fans, so he has never felt the calmness and open-mindedness of an heir to a big family like Gu Heng... unless he marries Gu Heng.
But this question, Gu Heng never raised it.
Gu Heng on the stage continued: "The launch of the consciousness bracelet has been delayed. Everyone knows that there was an accident within the company. But we are very glad that this accident has been resolved properly. In order to thank everyone for your support for this For the anticipation and waiting of the product, we will give away 1 free for users to experience.”
There was another "wow--" from the audience.
An unprecedented innovative product, 1 units are given away for free. This is a number that makes people who want to own it feel excited.
After the audience became excited, Gu Heng said: "Here, I would like to thank one person in particular. Thank him for his dedication to this consciousness bracelet."
Hearing this, Yu Ningqiu's heart trembled.
——In this part, Gu Heng didn't talk to him beforehand, and he wasn't ready to speak.
He immediately prepared his speech in his mind, but in the next second he heard Gu Heng say: "On behalf of the Gu Group, I would like to thank Mr. Lin Xingcheng for his dedication. Without him, this leak could not have been solved so quickly. Gu has been established for many years and has been Thanks to everyone who has supported and helped us..."
When Yu Ningqiu heard the words Lin Xingcheng, there was a buzz in Yu Ningqiu's mind.
The person Gu Heng thanked was actually Lin Xingcheng?
Forget about the rewards from the Commercial Crime Investigation Section, and you have to give an explanation to the public. What is the reason for Gu Heng's special thanks?
"Wow. Did you actually thank that person?"
"I heard that that person is Gu Heng's classmate, let's talk about it."
"Ah, I'm suddenly envious of Lin Xingcheng. If only I had a classmate like Gu Heng. It's close to the water!"
"Don't think about it, if it's close to the water tower, it's also Yu Ningqiu close."
"It's reasonable to think that Qiuqiu and Gu Heng are also a good match, it's quite eye-catching."
"Do you think Qiuqiu looks a bit like that Lin Xingcheng..."
On the stage, Gu Heng looked at the camera facing him.
Gu's placed advertisements on many platforms for this press conference. In addition to the official channel of the platform, they also contacted many big anchors to broadcast live.
Today's mainstream media in the alliance is full of live broadcasts of the press conference... Lin Xingcheng should not miss it.
After taking power in the Gu family, he has won countless awards, but he has never thanked anyone on any occasion.
Lin Xingcheng was the first one.
Just as Gu Heng's thoughts about Lin Xingcheng flashed by, a person in the audience suddenly stood up and yelled:
"Liar! Gu's awareness bracelet is an inferior product, it will harm people!"
The crowd was terrified.
The security guard on the side was dispatched quickly, and the man seized the time to continue saying: "The material for making the awareness bracelet is from the garbage star, and the radiation exceeds the standard! I have the test report and experiment video of the sample here! Everyone watch!"
As he spoke, he quickly took out an inspection report from his pocket, and at the same time used a small projector to project the video on the wall.
Several cameras quickly aimed at the wall.
Everyone gasped, "Oh my god..."
The security guard wanted to step forward to snatch it, but the video had already started playing.
The person inside had a consciousness bracelet next to him, and a brainwave analyzer on his head. When he was trying to study, his consciousness on the brainwave analyzer started to fluctuate wildly, and he couldn't concentrate at all.
Later that person went to drive the mech again.The monitor on the mech had the same reaction—the fluctuating range of consciousness was too large, and he couldn’t control the mech stably. Even when he tried some operations, his consciousness suddenly decreased, which caused the connection with the mecha to be directly interrupted. Armor fell uncontrollably.
The whole audience was shocked.
The man continued to shout: "This is still a short-term impact on consciousness, what will be the consequences of long-term use, and what kind of impact it will have on the body, everyone thinks for themselves!"
"Ah, this is too scary, how could this happen?"
"Is this true? A group as big as Gu's would have such a product?"
"Oh my god, I'm about to take the college entrance examination... I don't dare to use it anymore."
The man continued: "Everyone has seen it, this is the fate of using this consciousness bracelet. People who are not afraid of death can continue to buy it. You continue to send money to Gu Heng, and he continues to become richer and richer. And you, you are getting more and more stupid. Everyone thinks why his secretary betrayed him is because he is so bad!"
The voice fell, and there were endless discussions.
Yu Ningqiu sweated for Gu Heng on the stage.
Although his expression still looks meticulous, Yu Ningqiu can sense how much sullenness and forbearance are in those eyes...
This time, Liang Guan really wanted to punish him to death.
"Let me explain." Gu Heng finally said, "The Consciousness Bracelet was indeed flawed before, but we have found and made up for it. The picture in the video just now is to make up for the previous product. Please rest assured..."
However, the audience below couldn't listen anymore.
Soon, everyone started to leave one after another, and the host had to hastily end the press conference.
In an awkward atmosphere, the press conference eventually turned into a farce.Yu Ningqiu had carefully prepared a song, but because of this accident, she couldn't even make it to the stage.
Although the press conference was over, the audience in the major live broadcast rooms did not disperse, and the negative public opinion on the Internet was rampant instead.
[Is this too scary? 】
[The brain is not enough, stop doing it like this, woo woo! 】
[Oh my god, some people will do anything for money. 】
[It's a good thing my brother didn't cooperate with him, otherwise he would really be a trap for fans. 】
[I said why did they pick a newly emerging traffic? At first, I wondered if there was any py transaction, but it turned out that the product was not good. 】
【Evil capitalists, hurry up and go bankrupt! 】
……
The system is also surfing and eating melons on the front line.
I almost choked after eating half of it, so I hurriedly asked Lin Xingcheng to watch it.
After Lin Xingcheng finished reading, he frowned: "Liang Guan even asked someone to do an experiment."
System: "As expected of a secretary who has been thoughtful for many years, she still has such a secret weapon. But it's also Gu Heng's own fault for being so mean to others..."
"...Liang Guan's brain wave analyzer is a high-precision instrument, one of which costs millions of stars, and ordinary people can't touch it at all." Lin Xingcheng frowned slightly, "He is a secretary, why can he use it? It does experiments."
System: "...What do you mean, should there be someone to help him?"
The system feels a little creepy when it thinks about it, who is helping a secretary, what is their purpose, if Liang Guan is just a small character, then who is the big character behind him...
Ah, they are obviously just stand-in novels!
"I think I can check the recent situation of the people around Liang Guan, can you find it?"
System: "Liang Guan doesn't have many plots in the book. Although the character design of the main system is well done, he should have no branch lines. I'm not sure if I can find it. I'll try."
After a while, the system: "... found the hospital records. His father passed away suddenly from liver cancer last month. He doesn't have any other relatives... Does this have anything to do with this?"
Lin Xingcheng shook his head, "I don't know. Is there any other information?"
The system screened the information again: "No more. I checked his communication records, and there is nothing particularly abnormal."
Lin Xingcheng: "...Then let's take a look."
The core of the consciousness bracelet is the consciousness extraction technology, and behind this technology, there seems to be something that has not yet surfaced.
It took a long time for the audience at the press conference to leave before Gu Heng got into the car under the cover of his assistant, avoiding the media who heard the news.
It was inconvenient for Yu Ningqiu to go with him, so she stayed in the background.
The agent complained: "How did this happen? Fans are looking forward to such a good endorsement event. Now it's over, not only will there be no endorsement sales revenue, but also the scapegoat for the poor quality of the endorsement products. Hey, annoying. "
Yu Ningqiu frowned and said nothing.
He originally had great expectations for this project cooperation, but he did not expect it to turn out like this.
The endorsement share is a trivial matter. You don't need to think about it to know that Gu Heng will make up for him, and his reputation is not bad. The responsibility is not his after all, and it will pass after a while.
It's just that Gu's main product has been hit hard, and Gu's must have been greatly affected...
Could it be that it was God's arrangement to let him choose one of the four instead of Gu Heng?
Or is this another opportunity for him to accompany Gu Heng to stand up when he was at his lowest point, so as to win his heart in one fell swoop?
Yu Ningqiu hesitated.He didn't want to do that too much, he was too tired.
"How could a company as big as Gu's make such a low-level mistake." The agent continued to complain, "Sure enough, rich people are not so easy to get close to."
Yu Ningqiu was too lazy to tell him, "Cover me out."
...
Back at Gu Heng's villa, Yu Ningqiu found that Gu Heng was already in the study.
A lamp was lit on the desk, and he was sitting in front of the light brain and tapping something.
Gu Heng wore a pair of black-rimmed glasses, as if he was answering the company's email.
Yu Ningqiu breathed a sigh of relief, Gu Heng really saw a lot of people who were turbulent, and he was able to calm down and deal with this situation.
He was about to go back to the room, but was stopped by Gu Heng, "I'm back."
Yu Ningqiu was taken aback, then stopped, "Well, I didn't call you because I was afraid it would affect you."
Gu Heng didn't raise his head: "There seems to be a courier on the coffee table in the living room, please bring it for me."
Yu Ningqiu nodded, and went back to the living room to pick up the courier.The courier hadn't been opened yet, but the sender on it was actually Liang Guan.This is the ridicule that Liang Guan had prepared long ago.
Yu Ningqiu put the things on Gu Heng's table, thought for a while, touched the broken hair on the back of Gu Heng's neck, and said, "Thanks for your hard work. You are really amazing, and you can still be so calm in the face of this kind of thing." Keep working. I like you like this."
Gu Heng's eyes fell on him, and before he could speak, his communicator rang.
Gu Heng pressed the speakerphone, and the voice over there soon rang out: "Mr. Gu, the network situation is very serious now. The public opinion is almost one-sided, which is very unfavorable to us..."
"Customers who booked online are applying for returns..."
"There is also financing from the bank. The account could have been settled in two days. But because of the negative news, they withdrew the amount."
Gu Heng: "Is there any more?"
Opposite: "... yes."
"The person who made trouble at the press conference was taken to assist in the investigation. I heard that he handed over the video and the experimental report to the quality supervision department. The quality supervision department will enter the company to conduct a comprehensive spot check, and the product line is required to temporarily suspend production until the spot check The result is expected to be at least two months..."
Yu Ningqiu frowned more and more.
He is not familiar with the operation of the company, but he is aware of the influence of public opinion.
The quality supervision department may be able to find out that there is no problem with the product quality, but if people lose their hearts, no one dares to take risks on their own.
This product wants to regain everyone's trust, and I don't know how long it will take.After all, this is an entertainment product, not a necessity... And so much research and development costs, I don't know how long it will take to recover.
Gu Heng: "Estimated loss?"
That end: "The initial estimate is 150 to [-] billion."
Hearing this number, Yu Ningqiu instantly felt extremely heartbroken.
150 billion, if you say no, it will be gone.No matter how many dramas he accepts, he doesn't have 150 billion.
However, Gu Heng looked calmer.
"understood."
"All pre-release advertisements are withdrawn."
"Hang up the test report and experimental results of the re-produced bracelet."
"Notify the production line and suspend production completely."
His shirt was half-tucked into his trousers, and the exposed part was creased messily.
Although he was overwhelmed by the enormous difficulties, was trapped, and lost his former prestige, it seemed that he also had a rare handsomeness.
But no matter how calm and handsome he was, that would be a huge loss.
After the call ended, Yu Ningqiu thought for a while and asked, "I didn't expect such a big loss, then Gu's..."
"Gu's has been established for so many years, not only consciousness bracelets, but also other profitable products. It will get better."
"Oh." Yu Ningqiu thought for a while, and said, "Go ahead, I'm a little tired, so I'll go back to my room first."
Gu Heng's eyes behind the black-rimmed glasses narrowed slightly, and he said calmly, "Well, go and rest."
·
On the morning of the second day after the press conference, Gu's stock price plummeted at the opening of the market, and quickly reached the limit 10 minutes later.
This surprised Gu Heng.
He thought that the stock price would definitely fall, but because Gu's just released the latest performance forecast, their performance this year is very good, even if the consciousness bracelet is full of negative public opinion, but in the end it is only a problem with the sample, they did not let the problematic product On the shelf, not so much.
Gu Heng was about to hold a meeting of the board of directors, when the newly promoted secretary named Zhao stood in front of him nervously and explained: "...it is the financial investor we talked about before, even the fund, they originally wanted to invest in us, but now because of the negative News, they, they may have to withdraw their investment."
It is rare for Gu Heng to freeze because of work: "What did you say?"
Gu's consciousness extraction technology has invested a lot of money in the research and development period. In addition to the company's own capital investment, there are also a lot of external financing, especially rigid liabilities borrowed from banks.
Now these loans are coming due and he has to pay them back.The original plan was to use product sales revenue as the first source of repayment, but now this plan has fallen through.
And the second way is the investment of the Lian Fund in the Gu family that we talked about earlier, and that money was originally used as the second source of repayment.
"I made several calls to the Lian Fund today to ask their person in charge to meet. The reply from the other party was that the person in charge is too busy, and they need to think carefully about the investment..."
Gu Heng frowned: "Let's open the board of directors first. You go to check the more detailed situation of their person in charge. Anyone around you can get in touch. As long as you can convince them, the stock price will rise back."
"Yes."
……
Gu's Group Board of Directors.
The Gu family was established in the generation of Gu Heng's grandfather, and after many years it has become one of the largest large groups in the alliance.
Gu Heng's father has been in poor health since he woke up from the car accident, and Gu Heng has been taking care of the Gu family for so many years.But he is not the only one who has the final say on the company.There are many veterans in the board of directors who used to start a business with his grandfather. Out of politeness, Gu Heng had to call him uncle.
In the meeting room, more than a dozen people gathered around the round table, and the atmosphere was a bit dignified.
"Gu Heng, we believed in your original promise, which led you to develop this consciousness bracelet. Biotechnology is your specialty, so we have absolute trust in you."
After one veteran finished his speech, the other said: "Yes, you said that it would bring the company to a new level, but why didn't the whole company discover such a serious flaw in this bracelet?"
"We are all half-buried, and this is the first time that Gu's has such a serious crisis. Should you give us an explanation?"
The new secretary explained from the side: "Dear directors, Mr. Gu has suspended the production line and canceled the advertising investment. Although the quality inspection department has entered the site for inspection, it has not found anything. In fact, we just need to wait for the public to Restoring confidence in the Bracelet of Consciousness..."
"The company's market value has increased by more than 100 billion! Add in the expenses of research and development. The total is more than 200 billion. Gu Heng, tell me what you use to earn back the 200 billion?"
"That's right, Gu Heng, if you make such a big mistake, you always have to bear the consequences."
"If Liang Guan hadn't had a problem with you, he wouldn't have caused such a thing."
"Xiaoheng, we all watched you grow up. When your uncle treated you badly, it was us who helped you regain control of the company."
"The operation of the company is not nonsense. Your personal character and temper are also closely related to the company. You must review yourself deeply. Feedback from the bottom to the top. You are too arbitrary and too harsh on people. Liang Guan has been with you for eight years. I haven't been promoted at all, and everyone will have pimples in their hearts."
Gu Heng put one arm on the conference table, turned his body slightly, and looked at the crowd. He expected such a situation.As long as something goes wrong, everything done before is wrong, "I didn't promote him because he was not capable enough."
The man said again: "Hey, this is your fault. Sometimes you can't treat the people around you with too much ability. You have to talk about human feelings."
Gu Heng: "The company appoints me only based on ability, not favor."
Some people were not happy: "Look, look, does he seem to repent? I told him he wouldn't listen. If I knew this, I might as well let my uncle take over."
Another person persuaded: "Oh, what are you talking about now? What's the use?"
"Old Fu, don't defend him anymore. If you continue to defend him, you will harm him. Look at the company's affairs over the past few years. Has he heard what we said? No, it's all his own words." .We didn’t care about the company because there were no big mistakes in the past few years. Now that we have encountered such a major crisis, we can’t ignore it anymore.”
"That's right, that's right." A middle-aged person said, "Let me tell you, do you need to reconsider the position of chairman?"
"It was hard to get this position. How could he let it go? How about we exercise power."
The board meeting became a quarrel, and Gu Heng sat in the middle without saying a word, his face as if covered with a layer of frost.
Just when everyone was arguing most intensely, he suddenly got up, walked out of the meeting room without saying a word, and without looking back.
Everyone was shocked:
"Gu Heng! You! Is there anyone else in your eyes?!"
"Look at him, is there anyone else in his eyes?"
"I made such a big mistake, why should I show it?"
"At the beginning, I thought he was too rebellious, and I was very opposed to letting him inherit the Gu family. Now something has happened, and I can't pull it back like a mad dog." The person who spoke was Uncle Gu Heng's old subordinate. He is already high and does not hold a position in the company, but only occasionally participates in meetings as a consultant of the company.
As a result, as soon as he finished speaking, he found that Gu Heng's body froze.
The tall figure still didn't turn around, but said coldly to the secretary: "I don't want to see this old man with a mouth full of dung again, and let the security guard drive this man downstairs."
"Gu Heng, you! I am the honorary consultant of the company! How dare you!"
Still an indifferent voice: "You are being chased downstairs by a mad dog. Get out!"
Then there was a loud bang, and the door of the conference room was slammed shut.
……
When Yu Ningqiu returned home, the living room was not lit. He thought that Gu Heng was still in the company and hadn't come back, but there was a smell of alcohol in the air.
Turning on the light, he found Gu Heng sitting on the carpet with his back leaning against the sofa.
Two buttons of his shirt were unbuttoned, his tie was thrown aside indiscriminately, and a little blue beard had already appeared on his chin.One leg was bent, holding a goblet in his hand, which contained bluish-white wine.
There was a hint of coldness in his blurred eyes, like a lion that has not stopped its anger after being irritated.
His communicator was placed on the coffee table in front of the sofa, and a video was playing in it.
Yu Ningqiu has never seen this kind of Gu Heng... Even though such a big thing happened yesterday, he is still fine.
He wanted to say something, but Gu Heng didn't seem to want to speak.After he came back, he turned on the light and changed his shoes, but the other party didn't respond at all.
Yu Ningqiu changed her slippers and walked over, "What are you looking at?"
He glanced at the picture in the video, it was the video of the mecha competition.
"Since when did you like watching mecha competitions?"
Gu Heng remained silent.
What he watched was not an ordinary mecha competition, but Lin Xingcheng's.
Gu Heng left the group of old antiques and returned home. He was in a bad mood all the time. Only after seeing these videos did he calm down a little.
When the mechas collided and sparks burst out, Gu Heng looked at Lin Xingcheng in the cockpit and remembered many things from the past in the chaos.
At that time, his memory is full of huddled corners, dark nights, dead birds whose feathers have been stripped... The night is thick and obscure, like stinky ink that cannot be melted, like the nausea in the confinement room of the education and corrections college. Dirt is like the dirtiest pus and blood in the depths of the heart.
At that time, only Lin Xingcheng was the only light in his heart.
But now, Lin Xingcheng has already forgotten him... For so many years, if you say you forget it, you forget it...
Yu Ningqiu didn't know that the person in the video was Lin Xingcheng, and thought that Gu Heng was just watching something to amuse himself, and wanted to take his communicator, "Don't watch, go to rest early. You smell very strong of alcohol."
If he vomits later, he still has to clean up.
The alcohol scattered in Gu Heng's body, and he suddenly said, "Don't touch it."
Yu Ningqiu was taken aback by him, and when she was about to say something, she found that Gu Heng had stood up with support, and took his coat and put it on.
"Where are you going so late?" Yu Ningqiu stared at him.
Gu Heng ignored him, and went to the shoe cabinet to put on his shoes.
Yu Ningqiu stood up and stopped him a little irritably, "Don't go out, if you want to get drunk, stay at home."
Unexpectedly, Gu Heng shook off his hand and opened the door without looking back, leaving only two cold words: "Get out!"
It took a long time for Gu Heng's voice to finally resound in the quiet living room.
"Xiaoheng, I said that incident was not the secret of Xingcheng, you have always misunderstood him..."
"Stop!" Before Lao Cao finished speaking, the deep voice sounded again, "I'll take you home."
After finishing speaking, he got up and took Lao Cao's arm, "Let's go."
Luo Ming and Xiao Zhang were dumbfounded.
"Hey, hey." Lao Cao could only agree, and when he walked to the door, he still looked back at Lin Xingcheng.
Lin Xingcheng waved to him: "Teacher Cao, go slowly."
A gentle and calm voice.
Hearing this sound, Gu Heng's background paused slightly, and he glanced at Lin Xingcheng from the corner of his head, but he didn't dare to stay on him, and after a hasty look, he quickly left the door.
The cornerstone of hatred he built for himself in his heart, the cornerstone of treating Bai Yueguang wantonly after taking him in, and the cornerstone of making up for his youthful scars... had collapsed in just a moment and turned into powder.
Everything he did before has become a joke, Luo Ming's gaze, Xiao Zhang's gaze, especially Lin Xingcheng's gaze...he can no longer face everything here.
No matter how much he pretended to be cruel, he might not be able to conceal how disheartened he was right now.
……
After getting into the car, Lao Cao was still apologizing: "I didn't expect to affect the relationship between your classmates for so long because of a mistake that year..."
Gu Heng didn't answer, and after sitting in silence for a few minutes with his lips pursed, he suddenly anxiously took out the communicator and turned it on.
He found Lin Xingcheng's name, hesitated for a moment, then pressed the message button, then quickly entered and sent it.
Outside the window, the snow fell silently, gradually piled higher and higher on the treetops, and finally bent the treetops, and fell to the ground with a "click".
... However, it was not only the treetops that were bent, but also his self-righteous dignity.
He sent more than a dozen messages to Lin Xingcheng in the car, but Lin Xingcheng didn't reply to any of them.
……
In the bedroom, the system was reading one of the messages without emotion: "Xing Cheng, remember the shredded pork noodles that night, you scooped up all the shredded pork noodles for me... Gu Heng is writing a small composition, I Goosebumps are about to rise. How can you lose weight and not eat meat?"
Lin Xingcheng: "I just finished eating that night and passed away. My stomach is too full. I was afraid that the meat would be wasted, so I picked it for him."
System: "...Then do you want to reply to his message now?"
Lin Xingcheng thought for a while: "I don't think it's necessary?"
System: "...I support it [-]%. So you plan to keep pretending to have amnesia?"
"Gu Heng was betrayed by the most trusted Liang Guan. I also forgot about him. During this period of time, he has already triggered the "Isolation and Helpless" debuff. You can remind Yu Ningqiu that this is an opportunity to take advantage of the situation."
"Ah, you are indeed a gold medal employee of our company. He is thoughtful. The main thing is that you have to do new tasks. How can you waste so much energy on him."
Lin Xingcheng: "Yes."
System: "By the way, when did you remember it, tell me quickly, I'm so anxious."
Lin Xingcheng: "I remembered it when I poured him tea yesterday."
System: "...It scared me to death. This is the first time I have experienced amnesia in the dream world. I almost have to learn how you hurt the character and report back to the company."
Lin Xingcheng: "..."
You just can't learn something good.
System: "Then how did you remember it? Is it the feeling of an electric shock in your head?"
"...I'm not an AI. In fact, during that time, I didn't seem to have completely lost my memory. It seemed that my memory was biased, some were blurred, and some were stuffed in again. I remembered something from the past."
"The thing before, how long ago, in high school?"
"Before joining Dream Realization Company."
"..." The system took a breath.
In order to ensure that employees have pure emotions in the dream world, employees will have their previous memories blocked by the company before joining the company, including his AI.
Lin Xingcheng actually remembered things in the real world because of the amnesia caused by his brain's self-protection?
Lin Xingcheng: "However, I'm too sure, and the time is very short. I just can feel that although that memory is very similar to this one, it should not belong to the dream world."
"My God, the main system doesn't allow us to think about the past." The system said, then paused, "Then Gu Heng gave you back Little Moonlight, is that also one of the reasons for you to pretend to have amnesia?"
Lin Xingcheng nodded, "If the memory I accidentally recalled really belongs to the 'before', then Little Moonlight has not been destroyed. I want to try it."
system:"……"
Lin Xingcheng: "Let me ask you, have you read the entrustment agreement that Yu Ningqiu signed with the main system?"
System: "I've seen it."
"What price will he pay?"
"Ah, there is no need to pay any price." The system said, "He is the chosen one, just like the protagonists of those novels, just set up according to the person and have fun... All the clients are the chosen ones. "
Lin Xingcheng pondered for a moment, then smiled and said, "You sound envious."
System: "Hey, who wouldn't want to be the Chosen Son of the day."
Just as he was talking, Lin Xingcheng's communicator rang.He took a look, it was Gu Heng.
System: "Are you ready?"
Lin Xingcheng picked it up, but Gu Heng suddenly fell silent, as if he didn't expect the other party to pick it up, and he didn't know how to speak for a while.
There was a gasping sound on the other end of the phone, as if about to speak, but another voice came first, "Sir, can you go, our parking space is full, your car is not registered in the community, don't occupy the parking space ..."
It is the security of the community.
Without waiting for Gu Heng to speak, Lin Xingcheng said immediately: "Mr. Gu, I'm sorry, I really don't have any impression of the message you sent. Goodbye."
System: "What a helpless debuff... I want to play games."
A week later, the Gu's Group Consciousness Bracelet Conference was held.
After Liang Guan pleaded guilty, Gu's plagiarism scandal was clarified, and he urgently purchased materials to make a batch of bracelets, which were finally launched before the end of the year.
Yu Ningqiu was invited to the press conference because she was the spokesperson and the first consciousness input experience officer.
At the backstage of the press conference, Gu Heng, as the helm of the Gu family, is going to give a speech for the press conference today.
Today, he is wearing a well-fitting and exquisite high-end suit. In addition, he is already outstanding in appearance, and he has a noble temperament in every gesture. He looks very attractive.
However, only Yu Ningqiu beside him could tell that Gu Heng's condition was actually not that good.
Before the press conference started, Yu Ningqiu asked Gu Heng's new secretary to clear the backstage.
"uncomfortable?"
Gu Heng: "No."
Yu Ningqiu thought of what the system reminded him a few days ago to take the opportunity to care for him, so he sat next to Gu Heng and stroked his back: "Heng, no matter what happens, you still have me by your side. I will always be by your side."
Gu Heng lowered his head and blinked his eyelashes slightly: "Really."
Yu Ningqiu: "Really."
As he said, he rested his head on Gu Heng's shoulder and rubbed it, "Don't think about people who are not worth loving. I will be with you, we have everything, and we will be very happy."
……
15 minutes later, the product launch officially began.
Gu Heng also started his speech and presentation.
As a celebrity guest, Yu Ningqiu sat down and watched him all the time.
The man spoke completely out of script, his voice and tone were just right, the warm lighting made him exude a calm and professional sense of dignity, and the occasional humor made him look handsome and charming—although he was not in good condition, But he is Gu Heng after all.
"The company asked me to think of an attractive advertisement for this bracelet. What I want to say is that Gu's products never need advertisements."
After Gu Heng finished speaking, there was an instant "wow--" from the audience, and the sound was extremely enthusiastic.
The press conference was broadcast live in real time. Hearing these remarks at this moment, the audience watching the live broadcast were also elated.
[Wow, Gu Heng is so handsome today! 】
【Wow! 】
【He has always been handsome, but he rarely shows up. 】
Yu Ningqiu also heard someone talking about his handsomeness.
In fact, Gu Heng seldom shows up in public. One is that he is already busy, and the other is that he doesn't care about the additional benefits brought by his appearance.
But Yu Ningqiu is a newly rising star, and he is instinctively sensitive to the number of fans, so he has never felt the calmness and open-mindedness of an heir to a big family like Gu Heng... unless he marries Gu Heng.
But this question, Gu Heng never raised it.
Gu Heng on the stage continued: "The launch of the consciousness bracelet has been delayed. Everyone knows that there was an accident within the company. But we are very glad that this accident has been resolved properly. In order to thank everyone for your support for this For the anticipation and waiting of the product, we will give away 1 free for users to experience.”
There was another "wow--" from the audience.
An unprecedented innovative product, 1 units are given away for free. This is a number that makes people who want to own it feel excited.
After the audience became excited, Gu Heng said: "Here, I would like to thank one person in particular. Thank him for his dedication to this consciousness bracelet."
Hearing this, Yu Ningqiu's heart trembled.
——In this part, Gu Heng didn't talk to him beforehand, and he wasn't ready to speak.
He immediately prepared his speech in his mind, but in the next second he heard Gu Heng say: "On behalf of the Gu Group, I would like to thank Mr. Lin Xingcheng for his dedication. Without him, this leak could not have been solved so quickly. Gu has been established for many years and has been Thanks to everyone who has supported and helped us..."
When Yu Ningqiu heard the words Lin Xingcheng, there was a buzz in Yu Ningqiu's mind.
The person Gu Heng thanked was actually Lin Xingcheng?
Forget about the rewards from the Commercial Crime Investigation Section, and you have to give an explanation to the public. What is the reason for Gu Heng's special thanks?
"Wow. Did you actually thank that person?"
"I heard that that person is Gu Heng's classmate, let's talk about it."
"Ah, I'm suddenly envious of Lin Xingcheng. If only I had a classmate like Gu Heng. It's close to the water!"
"Don't think about it, if it's close to the water tower, it's also Yu Ningqiu close."
"It's reasonable to think that Qiuqiu and Gu Heng are also a good match, it's quite eye-catching."
"Do you think Qiuqiu looks a bit like that Lin Xingcheng..."
On the stage, Gu Heng looked at the camera facing him.
Gu's placed advertisements on many platforms for this press conference. In addition to the official channel of the platform, they also contacted many big anchors to broadcast live.
Today's mainstream media in the alliance is full of live broadcasts of the press conference... Lin Xingcheng should not miss it.
After taking power in the Gu family, he has won countless awards, but he has never thanked anyone on any occasion.
Lin Xingcheng was the first one.
Just as Gu Heng's thoughts about Lin Xingcheng flashed by, a person in the audience suddenly stood up and yelled:
"Liar! Gu's awareness bracelet is an inferior product, it will harm people!"
The crowd was terrified.
The security guard on the side was dispatched quickly, and the man seized the time to continue saying: "The material for making the awareness bracelet is from the garbage star, and the radiation exceeds the standard! I have the test report and experiment video of the sample here! Everyone watch!"
As he spoke, he quickly took out an inspection report from his pocket, and at the same time used a small projector to project the video on the wall.
Several cameras quickly aimed at the wall.
Everyone gasped, "Oh my god..."
The security guard wanted to step forward to snatch it, but the video had already started playing.
The person inside had a consciousness bracelet next to him, and a brainwave analyzer on his head. When he was trying to study, his consciousness on the brainwave analyzer started to fluctuate wildly, and he couldn't concentrate at all.
Later that person went to drive the mech again.The monitor on the mech had the same reaction—the fluctuating range of consciousness was too large, and he couldn’t control the mech stably. Even when he tried some operations, his consciousness suddenly decreased, which caused the connection with the mecha to be directly interrupted. Armor fell uncontrollably.
The whole audience was shocked.
The man continued to shout: "This is still a short-term impact on consciousness, what will be the consequences of long-term use, and what kind of impact it will have on the body, everyone thinks for themselves!"
"Ah, this is too scary, how could this happen?"
"Is this true? A group as big as Gu's would have such a product?"
"Oh my god, I'm about to take the college entrance examination... I don't dare to use it anymore."
The man continued: "Everyone has seen it, this is the fate of using this consciousness bracelet. People who are not afraid of death can continue to buy it. You continue to send money to Gu Heng, and he continues to become richer and richer. And you, you are getting more and more stupid. Everyone thinks why his secretary betrayed him is because he is so bad!"
The voice fell, and there were endless discussions.
Yu Ningqiu sweated for Gu Heng on the stage.
Although his expression still looks meticulous, Yu Ningqiu can sense how much sullenness and forbearance are in those eyes...
This time, Liang Guan really wanted to punish him to death.
"Let me explain." Gu Heng finally said, "The Consciousness Bracelet was indeed flawed before, but we have found and made up for it. The picture in the video just now is to make up for the previous product. Please rest assured..."
However, the audience below couldn't listen anymore.
Soon, everyone started to leave one after another, and the host had to hastily end the press conference.
In an awkward atmosphere, the press conference eventually turned into a farce.Yu Ningqiu had carefully prepared a song, but because of this accident, she couldn't even make it to the stage.
Although the press conference was over, the audience in the major live broadcast rooms did not disperse, and the negative public opinion on the Internet was rampant instead.
[Is this too scary? 】
[The brain is not enough, stop doing it like this, woo woo! 】
[Oh my god, some people will do anything for money. 】
[It's a good thing my brother didn't cooperate with him, otherwise he would really be a trap for fans. 】
[I said why did they pick a newly emerging traffic? At first, I wondered if there was any py transaction, but it turned out that the product was not good. 】
【Evil capitalists, hurry up and go bankrupt! 】
……
The system is also surfing and eating melons on the front line.
I almost choked after eating half of it, so I hurriedly asked Lin Xingcheng to watch it.
After Lin Xingcheng finished reading, he frowned: "Liang Guan even asked someone to do an experiment."
System: "As expected of a secretary who has been thoughtful for many years, she still has such a secret weapon. But it's also Gu Heng's own fault for being so mean to others..."
"...Liang Guan's brain wave analyzer is a high-precision instrument, one of which costs millions of stars, and ordinary people can't touch it at all." Lin Xingcheng frowned slightly, "He is a secretary, why can he use it? It does experiments."
System: "...What do you mean, should there be someone to help him?"
The system feels a little creepy when it thinks about it, who is helping a secretary, what is their purpose, if Liang Guan is just a small character, then who is the big character behind him...
Ah, they are obviously just stand-in novels!
"I think I can check the recent situation of the people around Liang Guan, can you find it?"
System: "Liang Guan doesn't have many plots in the book. Although the character design of the main system is well done, he should have no branch lines. I'm not sure if I can find it. I'll try."
After a while, the system: "... found the hospital records. His father passed away suddenly from liver cancer last month. He doesn't have any other relatives... Does this have anything to do with this?"
Lin Xingcheng shook his head, "I don't know. Is there any other information?"
The system screened the information again: "No more. I checked his communication records, and there is nothing particularly abnormal."
Lin Xingcheng: "...Then let's take a look."
The core of the consciousness bracelet is the consciousness extraction technology, and behind this technology, there seems to be something that has not yet surfaced.
It took a long time for the audience at the press conference to leave before Gu Heng got into the car under the cover of his assistant, avoiding the media who heard the news.
It was inconvenient for Yu Ningqiu to go with him, so she stayed in the background.
The agent complained: "How did this happen? Fans are looking forward to such a good endorsement event. Now it's over, not only will there be no endorsement sales revenue, but also the scapegoat for the poor quality of the endorsement products. Hey, annoying. "
Yu Ningqiu frowned and said nothing.
He originally had great expectations for this project cooperation, but he did not expect it to turn out like this.
The endorsement share is a trivial matter. You don't need to think about it to know that Gu Heng will make up for him, and his reputation is not bad. The responsibility is not his after all, and it will pass after a while.
It's just that Gu's main product has been hit hard, and Gu's must have been greatly affected...
Could it be that it was God's arrangement to let him choose one of the four instead of Gu Heng?
Or is this another opportunity for him to accompany Gu Heng to stand up when he was at his lowest point, so as to win his heart in one fell swoop?
Yu Ningqiu hesitated.He didn't want to do that too much, he was too tired.
"How could a company as big as Gu's make such a low-level mistake." The agent continued to complain, "Sure enough, rich people are not so easy to get close to."
Yu Ningqiu was too lazy to tell him, "Cover me out."
...
Back at Gu Heng's villa, Yu Ningqiu found that Gu Heng was already in the study.
A lamp was lit on the desk, and he was sitting in front of the light brain and tapping something.
Gu Heng wore a pair of black-rimmed glasses, as if he was answering the company's email.
Yu Ningqiu breathed a sigh of relief, Gu Heng really saw a lot of people who were turbulent, and he was able to calm down and deal with this situation.
He was about to go back to the room, but was stopped by Gu Heng, "I'm back."
Yu Ningqiu was taken aback, then stopped, "Well, I didn't call you because I was afraid it would affect you."
Gu Heng didn't raise his head: "There seems to be a courier on the coffee table in the living room, please bring it for me."
Yu Ningqiu nodded, and went back to the living room to pick up the courier.The courier hadn't been opened yet, but the sender on it was actually Liang Guan.This is the ridicule that Liang Guan had prepared long ago.
Yu Ningqiu put the things on Gu Heng's table, thought for a while, touched the broken hair on the back of Gu Heng's neck, and said, "Thanks for your hard work. You are really amazing, and you can still be so calm in the face of this kind of thing." Keep working. I like you like this."
Gu Heng's eyes fell on him, and before he could speak, his communicator rang.
Gu Heng pressed the speakerphone, and the voice over there soon rang out: "Mr. Gu, the network situation is very serious now. The public opinion is almost one-sided, which is very unfavorable to us..."
"Customers who booked online are applying for returns..."
"There is also financing from the bank. The account could have been settled in two days. But because of the negative news, they withdrew the amount."
Gu Heng: "Is there any more?"
Opposite: "... yes."
"The person who made trouble at the press conference was taken to assist in the investigation. I heard that he handed over the video and the experimental report to the quality supervision department. The quality supervision department will enter the company to conduct a comprehensive spot check, and the product line is required to temporarily suspend production until the spot check The result is expected to be at least two months..."
Yu Ningqiu frowned more and more.
He is not familiar with the operation of the company, but he is aware of the influence of public opinion.
The quality supervision department may be able to find out that there is no problem with the product quality, but if people lose their hearts, no one dares to take risks on their own.
This product wants to regain everyone's trust, and I don't know how long it will take.After all, this is an entertainment product, not a necessity... And so much research and development costs, I don't know how long it will take to recover.
Gu Heng: "Estimated loss?"
That end: "The initial estimate is 150 to [-] billion."
Hearing this number, Yu Ningqiu instantly felt extremely heartbroken.
150 billion, if you say no, it will be gone.No matter how many dramas he accepts, he doesn't have 150 billion.
However, Gu Heng looked calmer.
"understood."
"All pre-release advertisements are withdrawn."
"Hang up the test report and experimental results of the re-produced bracelet."
"Notify the production line and suspend production completely."
His shirt was half-tucked into his trousers, and the exposed part was creased messily.
Although he was overwhelmed by the enormous difficulties, was trapped, and lost his former prestige, it seemed that he also had a rare handsomeness.
But no matter how calm and handsome he was, that would be a huge loss.
After the call ended, Yu Ningqiu thought for a while and asked, "I didn't expect such a big loss, then Gu's..."
"Gu's has been established for so many years, not only consciousness bracelets, but also other profitable products. It will get better."
"Oh." Yu Ningqiu thought for a while, and said, "Go ahead, I'm a little tired, so I'll go back to my room first."
Gu Heng's eyes behind the black-rimmed glasses narrowed slightly, and he said calmly, "Well, go and rest."
·
On the morning of the second day after the press conference, Gu's stock price plummeted at the opening of the market, and quickly reached the limit 10 minutes later.
This surprised Gu Heng.
He thought that the stock price would definitely fall, but because Gu's just released the latest performance forecast, their performance this year is very good, even if the consciousness bracelet is full of negative public opinion, but in the end it is only a problem with the sample, they did not let the problematic product On the shelf, not so much.
Gu Heng was about to hold a meeting of the board of directors, when the newly promoted secretary named Zhao stood in front of him nervously and explained: "...it is the financial investor we talked about before, even the fund, they originally wanted to invest in us, but now because of the negative News, they, they may have to withdraw their investment."
It is rare for Gu Heng to freeze because of work: "What did you say?"
Gu's consciousness extraction technology has invested a lot of money in the research and development period. In addition to the company's own capital investment, there are also a lot of external financing, especially rigid liabilities borrowed from banks.
Now these loans are coming due and he has to pay them back.The original plan was to use product sales revenue as the first source of repayment, but now this plan has fallen through.
And the second way is the investment of the Lian Fund in the Gu family that we talked about earlier, and that money was originally used as the second source of repayment.
"I made several calls to the Lian Fund today to ask their person in charge to meet. The reply from the other party was that the person in charge is too busy, and they need to think carefully about the investment..."
Gu Heng frowned: "Let's open the board of directors first. You go to check the more detailed situation of their person in charge. Anyone around you can get in touch. As long as you can convince them, the stock price will rise back."
"Yes."
……
Gu's Group Board of Directors.
The Gu family was established in the generation of Gu Heng's grandfather, and after many years it has become one of the largest large groups in the alliance.
Gu Heng's father has been in poor health since he woke up from the car accident, and Gu Heng has been taking care of the Gu family for so many years.But he is not the only one who has the final say on the company.There are many veterans in the board of directors who used to start a business with his grandfather. Out of politeness, Gu Heng had to call him uncle.
In the meeting room, more than a dozen people gathered around the round table, and the atmosphere was a bit dignified.
"Gu Heng, we believed in your original promise, which led you to develop this consciousness bracelet. Biotechnology is your specialty, so we have absolute trust in you."
After one veteran finished his speech, the other said: "Yes, you said that it would bring the company to a new level, but why didn't the whole company discover such a serious flaw in this bracelet?"
"We are all half-buried, and this is the first time that Gu's has such a serious crisis. Should you give us an explanation?"
The new secretary explained from the side: "Dear directors, Mr. Gu has suspended the production line and canceled the advertising investment. Although the quality inspection department has entered the site for inspection, it has not found anything. In fact, we just need to wait for the public to Restoring confidence in the Bracelet of Consciousness..."
"The company's market value has increased by more than 100 billion! Add in the expenses of research and development. The total is more than 200 billion. Gu Heng, tell me what you use to earn back the 200 billion?"
"That's right, Gu Heng, if you make such a big mistake, you always have to bear the consequences."
"If Liang Guan hadn't had a problem with you, he wouldn't have caused such a thing."
"Xiaoheng, we all watched you grow up. When your uncle treated you badly, it was us who helped you regain control of the company."
"The operation of the company is not nonsense. Your personal character and temper are also closely related to the company. You must review yourself deeply. Feedback from the bottom to the top. You are too arbitrary and too harsh on people. Liang Guan has been with you for eight years. I haven't been promoted at all, and everyone will have pimples in their hearts."
Gu Heng put one arm on the conference table, turned his body slightly, and looked at the crowd. He expected such a situation.As long as something goes wrong, everything done before is wrong, "I didn't promote him because he was not capable enough."
The man said again: "Hey, this is your fault. Sometimes you can't treat the people around you with too much ability. You have to talk about human feelings."
Gu Heng: "The company appoints me only based on ability, not favor."
Some people were not happy: "Look, look, does he seem to repent? I told him he wouldn't listen. If I knew this, I might as well let my uncle take over."
Another person persuaded: "Oh, what are you talking about now? What's the use?"
"Old Fu, don't defend him anymore. If you continue to defend him, you will harm him. Look at the company's affairs over the past few years. Has he heard what we said? No, it's all his own words." .We didn’t care about the company because there were no big mistakes in the past few years. Now that we have encountered such a major crisis, we can’t ignore it anymore.”
"That's right, that's right." A middle-aged person said, "Let me tell you, do you need to reconsider the position of chairman?"
"It was hard to get this position. How could he let it go? How about we exercise power."
The board meeting became a quarrel, and Gu Heng sat in the middle without saying a word, his face as if covered with a layer of frost.
Just when everyone was arguing most intensely, he suddenly got up, walked out of the meeting room without saying a word, and without looking back.
Everyone was shocked:
"Gu Heng! You! Is there anyone else in your eyes?!"
"Look at him, is there anyone else in his eyes?"
"I made such a big mistake, why should I show it?"
"At the beginning, I thought he was too rebellious, and I was very opposed to letting him inherit the Gu family. Now something has happened, and I can't pull it back like a mad dog." The person who spoke was Uncle Gu Heng's old subordinate. He is already high and does not hold a position in the company, but only occasionally participates in meetings as a consultant of the company.
As a result, as soon as he finished speaking, he found that Gu Heng's body froze.
The tall figure still didn't turn around, but said coldly to the secretary: "I don't want to see this old man with a mouth full of dung again, and let the security guard drive this man downstairs."
"Gu Heng, you! I am the honorary consultant of the company! How dare you!"
Still an indifferent voice: "You are being chased downstairs by a mad dog. Get out!"
Then there was a loud bang, and the door of the conference room was slammed shut.
……
When Yu Ningqiu returned home, the living room was not lit. He thought that Gu Heng was still in the company and hadn't come back, but there was a smell of alcohol in the air.
Turning on the light, he found Gu Heng sitting on the carpet with his back leaning against the sofa.
Two buttons of his shirt were unbuttoned, his tie was thrown aside indiscriminately, and a little blue beard had already appeared on his chin.One leg was bent, holding a goblet in his hand, which contained bluish-white wine.
There was a hint of coldness in his blurred eyes, like a lion that has not stopped its anger after being irritated.
His communicator was placed on the coffee table in front of the sofa, and a video was playing in it.
Yu Ningqiu has never seen this kind of Gu Heng... Even though such a big thing happened yesterday, he is still fine.
He wanted to say something, but Gu Heng didn't seem to want to speak.After he came back, he turned on the light and changed his shoes, but the other party didn't respond at all.
Yu Ningqiu changed her slippers and walked over, "What are you looking at?"
He glanced at the picture in the video, it was the video of the mecha competition.
"Since when did you like watching mecha competitions?"
Gu Heng remained silent.
What he watched was not an ordinary mecha competition, but Lin Xingcheng's.
Gu Heng left the group of old antiques and returned home. He was in a bad mood all the time. Only after seeing these videos did he calm down a little.
When the mechas collided and sparks burst out, Gu Heng looked at Lin Xingcheng in the cockpit and remembered many things from the past in the chaos.
At that time, his memory is full of huddled corners, dark nights, dead birds whose feathers have been stripped... The night is thick and obscure, like stinky ink that cannot be melted, like the nausea in the confinement room of the education and corrections college. Dirt is like the dirtiest pus and blood in the depths of the heart.
At that time, only Lin Xingcheng was the only light in his heart.
But now, Lin Xingcheng has already forgotten him... For so many years, if you say you forget it, you forget it...
Yu Ningqiu didn't know that the person in the video was Lin Xingcheng, and thought that Gu Heng was just watching something to amuse himself, and wanted to take his communicator, "Don't watch, go to rest early. You smell very strong of alcohol."
If he vomits later, he still has to clean up.
The alcohol scattered in Gu Heng's body, and he suddenly said, "Don't touch it."
Yu Ningqiu was taken aback by him, and when she was about to say something, she found that Gu Heng had stood up with support, and took his coat and put it on.
"Where are you going so late?" Yu Ningqiu stared at him.
Gu Heng ignored him, and went to the shoe cabinet to put on his shoes.
Yu Ningqiu stood up and stopped him a little irritably, "Don't go out, if you want to get drunk, stay at home."
Unexpectedly, Gu Heng shook off his hand and opened the door without looking back, leaving only two cold words: "Get out!"
