flameout

Ji Yue originally wanted to go back to the old house on Oil Street when he was still in the cemetery, but when he arrived at the parking lot and sat down in a familiar position in the back seat, Ji Yue just wanted to hide his head like a turtle at this moment. In Qi Peisheng's fortified castle.

It seems like this, he doesn't have to face the empty old house, Ji Minghui is still living in the hut on Oil Street.

Ji Yue closed his eyes. From the hospital to the funeral parlor and then to the cemetery these days, he didn't sleep for a few hours. As soon as he closed his eyes, the images of the past few days flashed in his mind, one scene after another It made his temples throb.

He felt empty in his heart, belatedly confused about the future.

Ji Yue didn't know what else he could do. What happened at the age of 19 made him face the cruelty of life before he had time to think about the next step in his life. Ji Minghui was clearly not borrowing usury, but Ji Minghui was in debt. Beyond their family, they lived without a fixed place for a moment, and then their fate turned again. Qi Peisheng helped him, and his creditor changed from an overbearing and unreasonable loan shark company and debt collection lawyer to Qi Peisheng.

Ji Yue realized belatedly at this moment that even though he had lived in Qi Peisheng's place for eight years, he and Ji Minghui still depended on each other for life. It is the common goal of their father and son to pay off the huge debt they owed.

But now that Ji Minghui is gone, Ji Yue is reckoning in his heart, he owes Qi Peisheng too much, everything from money to emotional help is still unclear to him, and what does his existence mean to Qi Peisheng.Ji Yue opened his eyes again, looking at the tall buildings outside the window, his eyes were reddened by the bright sun.

Waiting for the black limousine to go up the mountain road and stop in front of the familiar gate, Ji Yue looked at the courtyard scene with four seasons in eight years, and was filled with emotion for a moment.

His family fell apart when he was 19 years old. His father lived in the noisiest and dirtiest street in Pu City, but he moved into a sky-high mansion that year and ate food brought in by air. , There are special people who cook each meal according to the nutritional combination. The family doctor has regular physical examinations, and there are full-time drivers and housekeepers.

Ji Yue wears the 9.9 pair of slippers bought in the supermarket downstairs of the company, and steps on the six-figure wool carpet every day. He uses the toothbrush that he buys for four in the supermarket and gets one free, but the most advanced air circulation system in the room keeps the air fresh .

Ji Yue's annual income here is even hard to support a horse in the horse farm behind him, not to mention the huge yacht that Qi Peisheng maintains by the sea.

Every cluster of roses here, every sycamore tree on both sides of the road, and the small lake and swimming pool behind the villa do not belong to Ji Yue, but he really owns and enjoys it.

Ji Yue felt extremely terrified for a moment, all the inequalities tore Ji Yue to pieces, and he was about to be torn to pieces.

Ji Yue looked at his mobile phone. At 11:[-] in the morning, he hesitated for a long time before pressing the call button.

Qi Peisheng is inspecting a new hotel project in Haishi Branch of Guangsheng. The hotel is located on the seaside 80 kilometers away from the center of Haishi. Zheng Chuxuan is with his boss on the private beach. The general manager of the branch made a pause gesture. The few people in the branch had seen this position, and immediately went to the other side to pour drinks naturally.

Zheng Chuxuan has been with Qi Peisheng for more than ten years, and he almost guessed that the call was from his family. At home, Bo He rarely contacted the chairman directly. Zheng Chuxuan knew who the rest was. .

Thinking about it, many years have passed, Zheng Chuxuan was not surprised, but it seemed to be expected, after all, the child was brought back to the mountain by the chairman from the very beginning.

What did Liu Yun, a strong woman in the real estate industry, say about his boss?She said that Qi Peisheng is a natural predator, he is decisive in killing, experienced and seasoned, and never settles just to fill his stomach.

Even though there was some surprise, Qi Peisheng still took a sip of the red wine in his hand leisurely while pressing the answer button.

He didn't answer quickly, so Ji Yue seemed to be taken aback for a moment before speaking: "Hello..."

"Yes." Qi Peisheng replied, "What's wrong?"

"Sir, I..." Ji Yue's impulsive energy disappeared as early as the moment the phone was connected. As soon as Qi Peisheng answered the phone, he stuttered and almost bit his tongue.

Qi Peisheng knew that today was his father's burial, and it was time to end at this point, so he saw that Ji Yue didn't answer, and didn't urge Ji Yue.

Ji Yue didn't hear Qi Peisheng's words, knowing that Qi Peisheng was patiently waiting for him to speak, he was a little angry with himself, gritted his teeth, closed his eyes and said, "Where are you?"

When Qi Peisheng heard this, there was a flash of smile in his eyes, and he said, "Haishi."

Ji Yue was silent. Haishi and Pushi, one south and one north, were separated by two thousand kilometers. He wanted to ask Qi Peisheng when he would come back, but his mind was in a mess, and he couldn't say the subtext of miss.

After a pause, Ji Yue just asked: "Are you busy?" After he finished speaking, he wanted to hang up the phone and pretend to be an ostrich. How could Qi Peisheng not be busy?But he didn't have the courage, so he had to add another sentence: "Did I bother you..." After saying this, he wanted to bite his tongue even more, because he had nothing to say about what happened.

Qi Peisheng felt a little helpless this time. Ji Yue seldom took the initiative to call him, but he hesitated every time, as if it was so difficult for him to ask for something. With so many people under Qi Peisheng's hands, they also respect him. It's more than fear, Ji Yue is terrified of him for no reason.

Qi Peisheng frowned, he wasn't too busy today, and he was in this position for a few minutes, but he didn't want to waste time listening to Ji Yue's hesitations, so he said directly: "What's going on?"

Ji Yue gritted his teeth in Qi Peisheng's impatience and opened his mouth. His tone was extremely careful, but the content still exposed his ambition and transcendence.

Ji Yue asked in a low voice: "When are you coming back?"

Qi Peisheng pursed his lips, and Zheng Chuxuan who was not far away only saw his boss licked his lower lip and said something, then hung up the phone, drank the rest of the wine in his glass, got up and walked over.

Qi Peisheng said to Zheng Chuxuan, "Tell them to come over for a meeting." He paused, and continued, "Then you book a ticket for Xiaoyue to come over."

Zheng Chuxuan was taken aback for a moment, then confirmed: "Today's?"

Qi Peisheng nodded: "Yes. Order as early as possible."

When Ji Yue received the flight reminder, he still hadn't recovered. He was stunned for a few seconds, and then he became nervous slowly.But he really needs Qi Peisheng to make him feel that he still has meaning in this world, even though he always faces Qi Peisheng with trepidation, for fear that what he does not do well will make Qi Peisheng dissatisfied and be expelled.

After greeting He Bo, Ji Yue packed two pieces of clothes and sent them to the airport by the driver.

Four hours later, Ji Yue traveled 2000 kilometers and arrived in Haishi.

Most of the tourists at the airport come in groups of three, ten or so, people come and go, Ji Yue frowned, his temples were throbbing because of lack of rest, he had the hotel address sent to him by Qi Peisheng's assistant on his mobile phone , Ji Yue thought about it, and still called Zheng Chuxuan.

Fortunately, he called in advance and did not take a taxi to leave directly. Zheng Chuxuan called a car in advance and parked in the parking lot. Ji Yue had no choice but to turn around and walk towards the parking lot.

Looking at the familiar car logo, the gloved driver got out of the car and opened the door for Ji Yue, and the passers-by looked at him a few times.

He said to the driver, "Excuse me."

The driver smiled: "No trouble, you are welcome."

Ji Yue checked the map on his mobile phone. After driving for about an hour from the airport, he still couldn't fall asleep. Looking at the scenery of the seaside city outside the window, thinking that he would see Qi Peisheng in a while, he felt a little more at ease, but faintly nervous.

He restrained himself from thinking about Ji Minghui, but his head still couldn't help being filled with Ji Minghui's face.

Sad and uneasy intertwined, Ji Yue felt more and more tired.

Ji Yue arrived at the hotel lobby. Because of the air conditioner, he didn't feel hot even though he was wearing a jacket with temperature in Pu City. He contacted Zheng Chuxuan, who asked him to sit in the lobby lounge area for a while.

Someone came over and asked him if he needed help. Ji Yue refused the person. He secretly found a place to sit down and quietly looked at the magnificent hotel. The ceiling of the lobby is seven or eight meters high, like a tourist. The decoration style of the United Arab Emirates star hotel seen in the promotional video does not need to be appreciated, it is enough to make people dizzy.Occasionally, a woman in high-heeled shoes will echo when she walks past the tiles. Ji Yue smacks his tongue in his heart. Every time he walks into Qi Peisheng's empire, he feels more and more small. It's just that after so many years of psychological construction, he has learned to keep his face Don't suppress the turmoil in your heart, otherwise you will be dumbfounded every time, and I am afraid that you will lose Qi Peisheng's face.

Ji Yue waited, and suddenly regretted his initiative at this time, wondering if this would disturb Qi Peisheng's original arrangement, he looked up at the high dome, secretly thinking that luckily the people around Qi Peisheng are very knowledgeable, he Flying here from Pu City for several hours should be enough for the hotel to clean the room, otherwise Ji Yue will really not be able to survive if he bumps into someone who shouldn't be seen again at this time.

However, the lack of sleep made his body reach its limit. Ji Yue heard the movement in a daze, and then opened his eyes. Zheng Chuxuan was in front of him. Seeing that he had fallen asleep, he said with a smile: "Waiting for a long time?"

Ji Yue shook his head and said, "No, not long." He didn't see Qi Peisheng, so he guessed that he still had his own arrangements.

Seeing his expression, Zheng Chuxuan explained: "The boss is still at the beach, let me take you there."

Ji Yue was taken aback, thinking that he might meet other high-level executives of the company, he was embarrassed, pursed his lips, and wanted to decline, but it was probably Qi Peisheng's intention to let him go, Ji Yue had no choice but to find an excuse to struggle and said: "My thing Haven't released yet..."

Zheng Chuxuan said, "I'll let someone take the things up."

Ji Yue had no choice but to agree.

Zheng Chuxuan opened the way ahead, and he also felt strange, the person calling was obviously Ji Yue, why didn't he seem to want to go there when everyone came?Seeing that Ji Yue's expression was not very good, he asked, "Did you rest well?"

Ji Yue shook his head and said, "Didn't sleep well."

With that said, Ji Yue followed Zheng Chuxuan through the hotel lobby, walked to the back and got on the sightseeing bus.
