"Hehehehe, Lao Zhou, I'm in a meeting, do you have anything important to do?"

"Yes, let's talk about what you care about most."

"My biggest concern..."

He Pan frowned and thought deeply, what I care about most...isn't it the selection at the beginning of the year?

Could it be...

"Okay! Where are you?"

...

In a teahouse on the edge of the Second Ring Road, Lao Zhou arrived early and ordered tea, and He Pan arrived not long after.

"Hey, you came so early?"

Lao Zhou smiled and said, "You are also a lot ahead of schedule."

He Pan looked around cautiously, with a bit of disgust in his expression.

"Why do you want to make an appointment at a place like this?"

Lao Zhou looked around and said, "Isn't this good?"

He Pan waved his hand and sat down opposite him, "Forget it, tell me, what are you asking me for?"

"Hehehehe..." Lao Zhou poured him a cup of tea, "Old He, you ask knowingly."

"Uh, hahaha..."

There were no outsiders here, so He Pan simply stopped pretending. After drinking the tea in one gulp, he said, "Are you abstaining from the selection at the beginning of the year?"

Lao Zhou nodded.

He Pan suddenly became eager, "What are the conditions?"

“Cancel the investigation into Tengxiao Capital!”

He Pan was startled, this matter was not easy to handle.

Now all public opinion is paying attention to the Lan County explosion, and it may be easy for you to get into trouble.

Lao Zhou added: "With that monitoring, we can completely focus the investigation on the destruction of overseas forces. There is no need to hold on to Tengxiao Capital. You should understand this."

He Pan didn't say anything, but he agreed in his heart.

When Lao Zhou took out the surveillance video, he could have changed the direction of the investigation.

But that... is not in He Pan's own interests.

Now Lao Zhou comes up with attractive terms in exchange...

Without the competition from a strong opponent like Lao Zhou, I would have almost been able to control the selection at the beginning of the year.

Seeing his hesitation, Lao Zhou continued to persuade: "Tengxiao Capital is not just a company. What it shoulders is the hope of breaking the Western technology blockade! I hope you put the overall situation first. Whatever you want, even if

Take it."

He Pan looked at Lao Zhou, picked up the tea cup and put it to his mouth. He found that there was no tea in it, so he slowly put it down again.

"Okay! It's a deal!"

“It’s a deal!”

...

The waiting time is the most painful.

In the underground safe house between white mountains and black waters, Chen Xiao was pacing back and forth.

"How is it? How is the public opinion situation now?"

"Back to the boss, it's even more intense than before."

"Made!" Chen Xiao took two steps and asked again: "Where are the wounded? Have they received effective treatment?"

"Don't worry, boss, he has been transferred to a key hospital in the provincial capital, and experts from other provinces are coming to support him."

Chen Xiao nodded, "Give comfort to the families of the deceased, do your best to rescue the injured, and don't be afraid of spending money."

"yes!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Xiao's phone rang.

When he saw it was Lao Zhou, he quickly picked it up.

"Hello? Brother Zhou? How are you?"

Lao Zhou said in a brisk tone: "Hahaha, it's okay for now. The surveillance video you provided is very valuable. The investigation team has changed its direction and canceled the investigation of Tengxiao Capital. Semiconductor and medical research can continue to be unaffected.

"

Chen Xiao secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Tengxiao Capital has invested hundreds of billions in the semiconductor and pharmaceutical fields.

We are also facing the severe situation of supply chain blockade.

If the investigation is suspended at this time, not to mention how many secrets will be leaked.

The time window will not be on Chen Xiao's side either.

If you want to maintain it, you still don’t know how much money you have to invest. If you don’t maintain it, you will lose all your initial investment!

"Brother Zhou, thank you."

Lao Zhou smiled and said, "You're welcome to me. Do your research and development well and strive to break the Western technological blockade as soon as possible."

"Okay! Brother Zhou, just hold it up!"

"Well, and... pay attention to safety."

What Lao Zhou said shouldn't be too obvious, after all, he is from the company.

But Chen Xiao knew in his heart, "Don't worry, Brother Zhou, I won't show up until the matter is completely resolved."

"Okay, see you then."

"goodbye."

...

Not long after Lao Zhou hung up the phone, his secretary hurried over.

"Leader, the old leader is looking for you."

Old Zhou Yi was startled. The old leader had retired from the company for several years. At this time, he was looking for himself...

"Okay, let's go there now."

"yes!"

After arriving, Lao Zhou was just about to say hello when he was scolded.

"Xiao Zhou! What are you thinking about? You are the most promising in this selection, so you are abstaining at this time?"

Lao Zhou felt bitter in his heart, and it was indeed because of this incident.

"Mr. Liu, I...sigh! It's hard to explain in words."

Mr. Liu took a deep breath, calmed down for a moment, and said, "What about Tengxiao Capital?"

Lao Zhou nodded, "Teng Xiao can't make any mistakes."

Mr. Liu said: "I have been idle for many years. I don't know what Tengxiao Capital can do to make you desperate. You are not too young. If you miss this opportunity, you will never get it again! You must

Think it through."

"Mr. Liu, thank you for your cultivation. Some things...have to be done by someone."

Mr. Liu was silent for a long time, and finally let out a long sigh.

"Alas! You kid..."

"Well, if I didn't value your quality, I wouldn't have taken you out of Xiaoshangougou. I respect your choice."

Lao Zhou bowed and said, "Student, you have been disappointed."

Mr. Liu waved his hand and said, "Along the way in our unit, how many people have sacrificed themselves for their ideals. It is precisely because of so many people with firm beliefs that we have achieved today's prosperous age."

"Teacher, you can understand that the students are very grateful."

"Okay, come and play two games of chess with the old man."

"Okay."

...

In the ancient castle on the outskirts of New York, after listening to the report of his subordinates, Ilov smiled while holding a cigar in his mouth.

"Hahaha, are you an enemy of the Rothschild family? Do you think you are invincible if you have a little money? After all, you are just a rootless duckweed."

"I only made a slight move, and Chen Xiao was already half dead, hahaha..."

The butler on the side was also full of pride, "Your Excellency, there have been many people who have challenged our family in history, but without exception, those people have all become the dust of history, but our Rothschild family has always been prosperous.

."

"Hahahaha... you are absolutely right! Our family has been going smoothly for the past two hundred years."

Just then, a servant stumbled over.

"No! Something serious has happened, Your Majesty the Duke!"
