Tears of Thorns

Meeting on the top floor of VN Building

Auston sat on the chairman's seat, his expression was so cold that the surrounding air was almost covered with a thick layer of ice.The elders of the group sat on the right-hand side of Auston, and some of his peers who followed Auston sat on his left.There was a pile of documents on the table, and the contents of the documents were all evidence that several of the veterans colluded with the enemy and betrayed their company's information.At a glance, it was obvious that the faces of some veterans were either darkened or pale, and these veterans were precisely those who betrayed the company's interests in the documents.Alston stared coldly at the report in his hand without saying a word.

In the end, a senior senior elder stood up, slapped his hands on the table, pointed at the noses of those people and cursed.

"You guys are old and foolish, how could you do such a thing? Are you worthy of the dead leader like this!"

Then he changed his kind expression and lowered his tone, and said kindly to Auston.

"Master, why don't you just let them go, after all, it's just a moment of confusion. When I'm old, it's inevitable that I will be confused. It's a face for me, so let's forget it." The elder said cheekily.Although Auston is the new leader, these old guys rely on their own qualifications and don't take this young new leader seriously.

"Did you get confused for a while, heh, if they didn't disclose my whereabouts to outsiders, maybe I would really just let it go. I should have followed the rules, but since you all followed my father through life and death , just retire early." Alston put down the report in his hand, and said to the person in front of him, his tone was affirmative, and there was no room for turning around.

"What do you mean!" The elder couldn't hold his face immediately, and pointed at Auston in embarrassment and anger.

"Are you threatening us!" Several elders with livid faces stood up and slapped the table at the same time and shouted.

"You should know the rules here, and you should also understand my methods. I am doing this for your own good. As for the companies that you have cooperated with, I think it will not be long before I receive news of bankruptcy." Reston said Not intending to talk nonsense with these old guys, he stood up from the chair and walked to the door. When he reached the door, he suddenly turned around and said to the old guys who were pulling out their mobile phones.

"I'm not my father, you are nothing in my eyes!" After finishing speaking, he ignored the cursing inside, turned and returned to his president's office.

Not long after, there was a knock on the door, and Arthur, a mixed-race man of Asian descent, and Qi Rui, a man with dazzling red hair, entered.These two are Auston's most powerful helpers, and they are also good brothers who were born and died.

"Heh, you don't know, those old guys had a big quarrel in the meeting room, and they almost demolished your little place." The red hair didn't shy away from it, and sat on the sofa and mocked.

"It won't last long." Arthur stated lightly, but he was not as casual as Xianghong, he just stood quietly by the side.

Auston ignored them, and his eyes did not leave the phone screen.It was a message from the old butler, reporting Tianhao's whereabouts to him.The content of the message is simple: not out of the bedroom yet.Just a few words can attract all his attention. Thinking of Tianhao, Auston showed a rare smile.This move made the other two people present feel very surprised and weird.

"Boss, you, were you laughing just now? It's unbelievable, Arthur! This can't be the old saying that Chinese people often say, it's evil!" The red hair looked terrified, pointing at the boss face said.Although Arthur was also shocked, after all, the boss in his memory had never had such an expression, but he didn't pay attention to the redhead's nonsense.

"You send people to watch them separately. If those old guys don't want to retreat, you go help them and let them know who is the leader!" Oston restrained his expression, ignoring their expressions and Nonsense, issuing orders as if nothing had happened, as if the moment just now was their illusion.

"Yes." Seeing that there was an order, the two immediately cheered up, and the red-haired man put away his playful attitude, and responded with a serious face. After the boss signaled, they bowed and walked out.

After they left the president's office, the red hair poked Arthur's arm and asked gossipingly.

"The boss just laughed, didn't he laugh?"

"Ask the leader yourself." After Arthur replied coldly, he quickened his pace and walked forward.

Chery behind him pouted, sighed, and quickened his pace to follow.

When Auston returned to the villa again, Tianhao was already sitting on the ground leaning on the sofa, holding a beer in one hand, and sliding the laptop aimlessly with the other.

"What are you looking at?" Reston sat on the sofa next to Tianhao, casually glanced at his computer screen.

"Oh, it's nothing, I just want to see if there is any job suitable for me here. If I stay here for a while, my wallet will be empty soon after spending so much." Tian Hao took a sip of beer Answered, but his eyes have been scanning back and forth on the positions of these recruitment websites.

"You want to find a job?!" Alston raised his eyebrows. He just wanted to say that I will support you, but then he felt inappropriate and changed his words.

"How about coming to my company, I lack people like you here."

"No, I don't like being a thug." Tian Hao waved his hand and said flatly.

"Pfft, haha! Who said I'm looking for you as a thug. I'm short of an assistant here, why are you interested?" Alston said with a smile.

"Assistant? What's that for?" The topic seemed to have successfully attracted Tianhao's attention. He finally closed the computer and shifted his gaze to Auston.

"Every day, I just need to be responsible for sorting out materials for me, making phone calls and so on. Well...it's very easy, and the salary is very generous." Afraid that the other party would not agree, Auston added another sentence.

"Sounds good, when will I officially go to work?" Tianhao thinks that he should be able to do this.

"You can do it anytime, if you want, you can go to the company with me tomorrow morning." Alston tried his best to smile gently, concealing his inner excitement.

"No problem, just do it like this." Tian Hao replied.

In the middle of the night, Auston woke up from a nightmare.He opened the window to get some air, and saw a person sitting by the pool, it was Tianhao!Looking at the pile of crushed beer cans beside him, he should have been sitting for a long time.Alston didn't make a sound, just quietly watched the other party drink the last can of beer in his hand, then stood up a little drunk, stretched his waist, turned and walked into the house.After he completely disappeared from Auston's sight, he collected his mind and closed the window, returned to the bedroom and continued to lie down.

After dawn, Auston came down from the stairs, and found Tianhao already dressed and sitting at the dining table eating breakfast.He was surprised. He thought that the other party would not be able to get up today because he went to bed so late, but he didn't expect to wake up earlier than himself, or...

"Yo~ Morning." Seeing Auston coming down from the top, Tianhao greeted Auston after swallowing the food in his mouth.

"Early, wake up so early, shouldn't it be because I didn't sleep all night." Alston joked.

"Ha, no, it's just that I went to bed early last night." Tianhao smiled awkwardly, probably because he slept too much these days, he couldn't fall asleep no matter what he did last night.He wanted to fall asleep with the slight intoxication from the wine, but the more he drank, the more energetic he became, so he went back to the room and used the computer to do some private affairs until dawn.

Auston smiled, but did not expose the other party's lies.He walked to the seat opposite Tianhao and sat down, and the servant immediately served him breakfast.It's just that he really didn't have any appetite early in the morning. He picked up the coffee and took a sip slowly. He glanced at the other person who was still eating, then turned his gaze back to the tablet in his hand, flipped through it casually, and waited for the other person to finish eating.

"Aren't you hungry?" He asked after taking a sip of milk after eating the last bite of breakfast in the bowl.

"I don't have much appetite early in the morning." Oston replied with a smile, then looked at Tianhao who had finished eating and said again.

"It seems that you have finished eating, then go to the company with me."

"Okay!" Tianhao grinned, and walked out with the other party.The car the butler had prepared had been waiting at the door for a long time. After they got into the car, the butler immediately closed the door and bowed back.After the car drove out of the villa slowly, it drove to the most prosperous area in the city.Not long after entering the urban area, I stopped in front of the tallest VN building in the city center.

"VN Building?" Looking at the name, Tianhao was a little curious.

"It was named after my mother," Auston explained with a laugh.

"Then your parents must be very loving." Tianhao sighed.

"Yes, they were indeed very happy during their lifetime."

"I'm sorry." Tian Hao glanced at the other party, but no sadness seemed to appear on his face.

"It's okay." Auston said indifferently.

When the car stopped slowly, the security guard immediately ran over and opened the rear door.Alston walked out of the car slowly, stopped to straighten some wrinkled clothes, and then continued to walk forward after Tianhao came to his side.

All the staff in the company put down their work and looked at the strange long-haired man curiously, muttering something at the same time, but under the cold eyes of the president, everyone immediately stopped talking and returned to their posts to let themselves go. Get busy.After Auston took Tianhao into the private elevator to the top floor, he pointed to the small room next to the president's office and said as he walked.

"This is your future office, just come to me if you have anything to do. This floor is my office area, and usually no one comes up. The next door is the meeting room, where we will have regular meetings in the morning."

"Oh, in such a large space, don't you feel deserted by yourself?" Tian Hao asked in surprise as he looked around the somewhat empty surroundings.

"No." After Alston said, he glanced at the other party, and the corners of his mouth raised slightly.

He went straight to his future office, opened the door and kept looking at the surrounding environment.This office is not big, but it is enough for him alone.

"Boss! Those gangsters..." Chery yelled as soon as he got out of the elevator door, but when he saw the sudden addition of strangers here, he swallowed back the words he wanted to say.Arthur, who came out with him, was also taken aback.Who is this long-haired man?It is unbelievable that he was brought here by the leader himself.

"Boss, who is he?" The red hair asked the boss, pointing at the man who was still running around in front of him.

"He's the new assistant I invited, Tianhao." The corner of the boss's mouth turned up when he looked at Tianhao, but when he looked at the red hair, his face had returned to a cold expression.

"New assistant?! Boss, you never..." The rest of the words were stopped by the cold eyes of the boss.

"Huh?" Hearing someone calling him, Tianhao turned and walked towards Auston.

"The redhead is Chery, and the other is Arthur. I don't have anything to do in the future, so I can go to them first." Auston introduced to Tianhao the two most powerful subordinates around him.

"Oh, hello." Tianhao said to them.

"Chinese?! Wow, what is the relationship between you and the boss? Someone who can be invited by him in person must be extraordinary." The red hair whispered to Tianhao.

"Tell me what you have to say!" Alston interrupted their whispered conversation.

After hearing this, the two looked at Tianhao at the same time, and then turned their gazes back to the boss.All this was in Tianhao's eyes. He was very sensible and was not interested in what they were talking about. After saying something to Oston, he turned around and walked to another place, deliberately leaving the place where they were talking.Rather than listening to them say things that you don't understand and don't want to hear, it's better to wander around. It's not fun if something happens to you.

There are three offices here, the largest is the president's room, followed by his, and one has been used as a utility room.The large space outside is equipped with billiard tables and some entertainment facilities, and at the end of the corridor is the meeting room.When he walked around here, the places where there were a few people standing were empty.They probably have already left, Tianhao went back to his office while thinking, turned on the computer and stared blankly.

In the president's room, the red hair kept staring at Oston, hoping that the other party would say something about him and the long-haired man.

"When you come to me, you won't just stare at me like this." Auston glanced at them with some displeasure.

"No, of course not! I just didn't expect...Boss, you brought a stranger up here?! Boss, who is he? Since when did you know each other, shouldn't it be!" The red-haired thought of something, and suddenly smiled ambiguously.

"The last time I was ambushed, he just helped me." Auston simply explained their relationship.But this explanation was not enough to dispel Chery's guess. When he was about to continue asking about the boss's perfunctory answer, Auston's cold eyes had already come over him, and he immediately closed his mouth tightly.

"Boss, those elders have already started to act, and they are launching a vote to remove you from this seat." Arthur said with a serious face when he finally calmed down.

"It seems that we really need to clean up the door, and those people can't stay. Aren't the police investigating us closely? Chery, send them some evidence. As for these old guys, don't let them be safe when they go in. Let's live a retirement life in it." Alston sneered.

"Yes." The redhead nodded, then turned and left.

"The undercover agent hasn't made any movement yet, so we can't be sure yet." Arthur said with his head down and expressionless after Chery left.

"Keep watching, we must keep alive!" The person who betrayed him must greet him well.

"Yes." After saying that, Arthur turned and left.

The whole office suddenly fell silent again. After thinking for a while, he made a phone call, got up and walked out the door.Instead of walking towards the elevator, he turned a corner and walked towards the office next to him.Auston didn't knock on the door, but pushed the door open.I saw Tianhao yawning while flipping through the webpage with a bored expression on his face, and he casually hung his coat on the back of the chair behind him, looking as lazy as a cat.

"What, are you sleepy?" Alston asked.

"Ah! Hey~ I'm just a little bored." Tianhao seemed startled by the sudden appearance of the voice, but after seeing clearly that it was Auston, he stretched his waist and replied.

"Oh, it seems that my boss is negligent." Alston showed a malicious smile.

"Since you are so boring, then help me sort out all these materials and print them out." Auston took out a USB flash drive from his pocket and put it on the table, Tianhao picked up the USB flash drive and plugged it into the computer Go up, opened it and took a look, his face suddenly darkened a little.

"These are all pictures of handwritten manuscripts?!" Looking at the densely packed English, Tian Hao felt a little headache.

"Yes. So, I'll trouble you to type them all out. Print it out and give it to me before I get off work. How about it? It won't be boring now~" Alston said with a smirk.

"Oh... okay, I'm sure I won't be bored now." Tianhao frowned and complained, ignoring Auston's him, and focused on struggling with the dense pile of words.

Oston looked at the other party's distressed expression, and his distress suddenly eased a lot.Then he stopped bothering him and turned around to leave.

In the blink of an eye, it was afternoon, and suddenly there was a knock on the door.Then I saw Tianhao opening the door with difficulty, and walking in with a stack of papers covering his chest.

"Everything you want is here." Tian Hao rubbed his sore hands and said.

"Well, I really don't see it, you are quite fast in doing things." Alston said with a smile while flipping through the documents in his hand.

"It's okay, it's just that I haven't played so many things for a long time, and I'm a little uncomfortable." He looked at these files and said, since Ogu came, he gave him all the work related to computers in Zakyu.At that time, he was much more relaxed.

"I don't have anything to do, I'll go out first." Tianhao rubbed his sore hands and said.

"By the way, is there anything to eat at this restaurant now? I'm so hungry after being so busy." Tian Hao said while rubbing his stomach.

"You haven't eaten yet?!" Alston put away his smile, picked up the mobile phone beside him and sent a message.

"I've already asked people to prepare food. You really are! There is no rush at work, I can wait. Next time, you must eat on time! Do you hear me?" Alston said, staring at him.

"Yeah, I got it, I will definitely do it next time!" The attitude must be good, and the mistake must be quickly admitted. This is his own consistent style of doing things.

"Go, go to the meeting room. I have ordered the restaurant to deliver the delicious food directly."

"This point, it won't be too troublesome." Tian Hao said a little embarrassed.

"It's okay." Alston said with a smile, a little wanting to touch his hair, but it was not the time, so he held back abruptly.

Auston and Tianhao walked to the conference room together, and not long after they sat down, the door was pushed open, and a man in a chef uniform walked in pushing a trolley, and placed the food on the dining cart on the table in the conference room one by one. They didn't stop until almost half of the large conference table was filled, and then pushed the dining car away.

"Is this too exaggerated? Although I am very hungry, can we eat so much?" Tianhao said looking at a large pile of delicious food.

"Don't worry. These are all Chinese dishes that I specially ordered the chef to make for you. Try it and see if it suits your appetite." Aston said, he picked up the dishes for the other party with his chopsticks.

"Well, it's not bad, this one is not bad." Tianhao commented while eating, and it didn't take long for the vegetables in his bowl to pile up into a hill.

Just when they were halfway through eating, Chery knocked open the door of the meeting room, and Arthur walked in slowly behind him.They sat next to Oston one after another, picked up the disposable chopsticks in the corner, and unceremoniously ate the food on the table.

"No wonder I can't find anyone, so you are hiding here to eat delicious food." The redhead complained while eating.Just now they went to the president's office to escape, but there was a slight sound from the conference room.I ran over and saw that I was eating good food here.They have been busy outside until now, not to mention food, they didn't bother to take a sip of water.

"These two guys are quite edible, I'm asking someone to bring some up if they're not enough." Auston frowned and asked Tianhao.

"Enough is enough!" Tianhao waved his hand immediately and said, these dishes are enough to feed five or six people to death, and he can't take it any more.

"Boss is so kind to you." The red hair whispered to Tianhao, with a somewhat ambiguous tone.

"Huh?" Tianhao looked at Chery strangely, not understanding what he was talking about.

"Eat!" Just when Chery was about to say something, Alston shouted coldly.Chery immediately stopped talking, and obediently ate the food on the table without making a sound.
