Wall Street Legend

It was originally just a simple shopping trip, but Ye Dongqing wanted to have some fun and see with his own eyes the sales of iPhones.

What he didn't expect was that he saw his old acquaintance at the entrance of the Apple store. To be precise, he should be his enemy.

Todd Hankins.

In his previous life, before Ye Dongqing jumped off the rooftop, the last name he heard was probably this guy. When faced with a crisis, he wiped out his roots. It's ridiculous to say that the two of them had been fighting for a long time. They are actually relatively good friends.

What now?

He is a super rich man who stomps his feet and makes New York tremble, but the other party turned out to be...a security guard?

Standing at the entrance of an Apple-operated store, he is responsible for maintaining order. Judging from the clothes he is wearing, he is indeed a security guard. He is probably an employee of Apple.

It has been a while since I followed him. Ye Dongqing checked him out before and even thought about giving up the opportunity to understand this grudge. Unexpectedly, it was such an unlucky coincidence that I met him again in the huge city of New York.

His mood was hard to describe. He rarely thought about it now. There was anger and desire to destroy in his heart. It wasn't very strong, but it was there.

After his emotions calmed down a little, he began to feel proud again. After all, there was a huge gap between them in terms of status and status.

They all talk about being merciful and merciful, but when it comes to human life, or your own life, that's another matter.

He was thinking about finding a reason to expel the other party, or to put it more tactfully, after promoting the other party to a high position, then let the other party fall to the bottom and taste the feeling of falling. Ye Dongqing felt that he would definitely not feel guilty. After all, he had actually jumped from a tall building, and those few seconds felt like a century.

Just as I was thinking about it, I was wondering how such a born villain could become a good person and take up a boring job like a security guard. Within a few seconds, I saw employees from an Apple store running out and shouting that the warehouse was on fire. Got it!

The crowd at the door began to commotion.

They didn't care about the cause of the fire, they only cared about whether they could still buy the new mobile phone they had been coveting for a long time. Even when they saw the smoke in the store, the team didn't disperse. They just moved from the sidewalk to the roadside. Many people poked their heads towards the road. Look in the store.

Ye Dongqing also saw it and couldn't help but frown.

It was an accident, it was normal, but what was abnormal was the speed of the fire. The store was clearly so empty, but the fire quickly spread along the ceiling, emitting thick black smoke.

Looking at the bodyguards around him, he ordered: You two go and take a look, bring a fire extinguisher, don't leave anything alone, save people first!

After speaking, he took out his cell phone and made a call to the fire department, his eyes resting on Todd Hankins.

Several other security guards rushed the store employees out in a panic. Some took fire extinguishers by the door and sprayed them inside. Others were maintaining order and asking customers in line to move back quickly. This guy was looking around, wondering if it was... In an illusion, Ye Dongqing even saw a smile on his lips.

Immediately thinking of something, he cursed secretly. Sure enough, dogs can't change eating shit. Ye Dongqing walked across the road in person and walked to the entrance of the store, shouting: Is there anyone else in there? Take a look, is there anyone else?

Because the iPhone was on the market, several university students were temporarily hired as temporary workers, but the total number of employees in a directly operated store was only a dozen. This is still considered a flagship store on Fifth Avenue, and there are more people in smaller stores. few.

Seeing Ye Dongqing, some people were surprised and stared at him. However, the situation at this moment was not suitable for star chasing, otherwise the scene would probably become crazy.

The manager of the directly-operated store recognized him and stopped talking. He took the lead in counting the number of people, and then told him: They are all out, there are sixteen people in total, including me, that's right.

As long as everyone is fine, Ye Dongqing felt relieved and continued: Think again if there is anything wrong and check again. Whose cars are these on the side of the road? Drive away and make way for the fire trucks. Coming soon...

Apple bought the three-story building in front of them as their flagship store on Fifth Avenue in Midtown. They bought it a few years ago. The billboard is very large, and it can be regarded as advertising by taking advantage of the traffic on Fifth Avenue. .

However, the first floor and basement were on fire at this moment, and black smoke came out from the windows and doorways, attracting more people to watch. Seeing that the sale time was coming, many consumers were simply desperate and just wanted to avoid it. Burn those phones!

The fire was spreading to the second floor. Thick smoke was already coming out of the windows on the second floor. What was burned were mainly various decoration materials. The interior layout was mainly simple, and there were not many things to burn.

Surrounded by too many potential consumers, they asked and said that after waiting for so long, they could not just leave like this. Ye Dongqing also felt that it was inappropriate, so he simply asked the employees to organize it first, while he called Jobs to communicate, and from other direct sales A batch of goods was transferred from the store's warehouse.

Probably due to regular training, it only took the firefighters less than ten minutes from receiving the call to arriving at the scene. Soon high-pressure water jets were sprayed into the store, starting from the second floor, to control the further spread of the fire. The lights on the first floor also went out soon.

There are not many people in the business district in the morning, and many shops are not even open yet.

Even the Apple store had just opened its doors a few minutes before the fire broke out. Fortunately, the store manager was lecturing the employees at the time, otherwise it might have been dangerous if some of the employees went to the second or third floor.

It wasn't a big deal, but it seemed strange to Ye Dongqing.

His attention remained on Todd Hankins. At this moment, a police car arrived, and he saw this guy quietly squeezing into the crowd and quickly disappeared.

It's not that there is no chance for his bodyguards to catch him, but there is no reason to catch him. They already know who he is. If this guy is really responsible, he probably won't be able to escape.

After explaining the scene he saw to the police, he calmed down the noisy consumers and told them that if they wait a little longer, they can still buy something. A line immediately formed again, which shows his determination to buy new mobile phones.

An NYPD police inspector arrived at the scene. He looked at the fire scene and told Ye Dongqing: It must have been an accident. I don't think anyone would be crazy enough to deliberately burn down your store this morning.

Because there were no casualties, the police officer's tone was relatively calm. He probably deliberately wanted to take the opportunity to get to know Ye Dongqing. With a look of regret on his face, he added: It's a very nice old building. I hope I can buy it. Fire insurance, the main building seems to have not been damaged much, and it can still be used after renovation.”

If he hadn't seen Todd Hankins, Ye Dongqing might have thought the same thing. However, at this moment, he always felt that something was wrong. His heart moved, and he suddenly asked the small supervisor of the fire department, Can you please go to the warehouse and take a look? See if the goods inside are damaged? They are a batch of relatively high-value mobile phones and computers. They have been delivered, right?

The last sentence was asked to the manager of the direct-operated store.

The middle-aged woman was stunned and told: Yes, it was just delivered at 6:30 in the morning. As you know, boss, in order to prevent leakage before the sale, the delivery time is arranged for today. The batch of mobile phones has just been delivered. It hasn’t been long in the warehouse, I was just about to dismantle a few of them and put them on the stand as trial machines...
