After chatting for a while, Cheng Yu learned that classmate Zhang Ziqing's father also went to the United States after communicating with the American expert.
The two of them were already admiring each other, and Xue Jindong's illness was indeed the direction they were both working on, so they hit it off right away.
The two then set up an expert group, with a total of six top experts in the industry. After several consultations, they finally came up with a surgical plan that they believed to be the lowest risk.
Xue Changyun sighed and said: "It is said to be the lowest risk, but in fact the success rate of the operation is only a little over 10%.
Moreover, even if the operation is successful, the old man will have to live a puritan-like life in the future. Whether it is daily life or diet, etc., he needs to be strictly controlled.
The most important thing is that even if the operation is successful, my father will only have three or four years to live."
Cheng Yu patted Xue Changyun on the shoulder and comforted him and said, "I know my uncle will live in pain, and sometimes you feel that it is better to let him leave in peace, at least to avoid suffering from both mental and physical torture.
However, it is clear that your father's wishes have not been fulfilled, and he is not willing to leave this world just like this.
This is his choice, so as his eldest son, you have an obligation to help him do everything possible to prolong his life.
Let alone three or four years, even one day..."
Xue Changyun sighed again and said, "Well, I understand everything you said, but when I saw him in so much pain on the hospital bed, I just..."
Cheng Yu thought for a while and said: "Actually, you should also know that what your father can't really let go of is not your Xue family's property. In this regard, he should have enough confidence in you, although his death may
It will cause some trouble for you to take over the industry, but it is not something that cannot be solved."
Xue Changyun raised his head, looked at Cheng Yu, and slowly shook his head: "Did you see it too?"
Cheng Yu nodded slightly and said: "So, I suggest that whether the operation is successful or not depends on God's mood. If you are lucky enough to succeed, I suggest you focus on your brother's condition and see if it succeeds.
Let’s see if we can recover a little bit, at least to give you some relief.”
After a short silence, Xue Changyun picked up the wine glass and said, "Thank you. I'd like to toast you with this glass of wine. Over the years, I have indeed neglected Chang Dong. If it hadn't been for Xiao Jian... well, let's not talk about her. Such a thing happened
No matter what the mistake, firstly, the old man felt a little comfort, and secondly, it also made me understand what the old man has been worrying about. Before, I really thought he was worried that I would not be able to successfully take over the family business."
After drinking, Xue Changyun continued: "Originally, I wanted to accompany him through the operation. After all, he might not be able to leave the operating room. But he insisted on letting me come back..."
"When is uncle's surgery?"
"The Lantern Festival."
Cheng Yu was slightly startled, and Xue Changyun explained: "The doctor's original plan was for two or three days before the Lantern Festival. The old man said that it might be his last Shangyuan Festival and wanted to wait until that day..."
Cheng Yu nodded heavily and said, "Then you are going to the United States in a few days?"
"He insisted not to let me go."
Cheng Yu didn't ask any more questions, and Xue Changyun didn't continue to explain, but they both understood why Xue Jindong didn't let Xue Changyun accompany him for the operation.
It's really sad to say that no matter how much money you have, it seems that you can't save your life. Even if you can barely save it, it's just a matter of survival.
"I was so busy talking about me that I almost forgot that I still have something else I want to tell you."
Cheng Yu didn't pay much attention and asked with a smile: "What's the matter?"
"Has your Mr. Cheng returned to China?"
Cheng Yu was slightly stunned, wondering why even Xue Changyun was concerned about Cheng Fu's situation.
"Well, after returning to China, I'm actually not very familiar with him. Why did you suddenly mention him?"
"When I was in Germany, I met a few former classmates. Then they mentioned to me that Master Cheng was very active there in the past two months before returning to China."
"Oh, he came back because wasn't my second uncle already assigned? Xu Dong just happened to be in charge of Qianjin's affairs again. My dad couldn't bear it, so he agreed to let Mr. Cheng come back and be his assistant. I guess it was
I think that if I sit in the position of my dad’s assistant in the future, I will need to have some connections.”
"If that's the case, there's no problem, but your cousin used to be very low-key."
"You may have thought there was no chance before, but now that you have the chance, of course you need to exercise."
In fact, it was not that Cheng Yu had no ideas, but he felt that he could not explain it to Xue Changyun so clearly. After all, he did not understand the intentions of Cheng Fu's actions at all.
"Cheng Yu, let me tell you this, it's definitely not as simple as Cheng Fu simply managing connections."
Cheng Yu's heart moved slightly and he said, "What is that?"
"My classmates all mentioned that Mr. Cheng is looking for recommenders on the dark web."
Cheng Yu was stunned: "Darknet?"
Xue Changyun nodded and said, "You don't know about the dark web?"
Cheng Yu shook his head, and Xue Changyun said seriously: "I don't know much about the dark web and have no substantial contact with it.
But I heard someone mention it, saying that it is a network where you can buy everything with money.
Whether it's aircraft, artillery, nuclear weapons, or government secrets, as long as you have enough money, you can find sellers on that network.
Of course, if you have something valuable enough, you can also find a suitable buyer on the dark web..."
After hearing this, Cheng Yu burst into laughter and said, "Have you watched too many movies from Hong Kong and Taiwan? Why does this dark web sound familiar to me..."
Xue Changyun seriously interrupted Cheng Yu and said, "Don't think that all the bizarre events in the movie are fake. At least, I can confirm that this dark network does exist.
But I really don’t know whether it is really possible to buy something of the level of a nuclear weapon.
I just want to tell you that since there are such rumors, it is a bit strange for Cheng Fu to frequently look for recommenders on the dark web."
Cheng Yu actually felt nervous secretly, but he still said with a smile: "According to what you said, if nuclear weapons can be purchased on the dark web, I would not have to worry so much back then. He is not short of money, so he can buy them on the dark web.
The two atomic bombs were dropped on New York and Washington. Didn't they avenge everything?"
Xue Changyun also knew that Cheng Yu was talking nonsense, so he rolled his eyes and ignored the topic.
He said: "The darknet is said to have originated during the Age of Discovery, and its prototype was a trading network built by pirates. However, the network was later controlled by the United Kingdom and Spain..."
"Nassau? Roger?? Wood?" Cheng Yu asked casually.
"You also know the history of Nassau. Yes, it is said that the dark web comes from here.
Of course, it is also possible that it is just far-fetched and adds some legendary color to the birth of the dark web.
However, the dark web does exist. It was first jointly controlled by the British and Spanish militaries. After the world began the process of modern civilization, this trading network went underground.
Although it is rumored that everything can be purchased on the dark web, it is not easy to log onto the dark web and become a trader.
Perhaps, this is the reason why this country cannot buy nuclear weapons."
The last sentence was Xue Changyun's joke, just like Cheng Yu's previous joke.
When Cheng Yu heard this, he obviously became a little more serious. This was indeed something he had not imagined. Before this, he had seen the existence of such things as the dark web in movies, but he just thought it was the imagination of the screenwriters.
Caused by.
And because the dark web is related to Pirates of the Caribbean, whether it is far-fetched or not, it can at least fully explain what you can do on this dark web.
The function of the dark web, because the word "pirate" is enough to save the need for a lengthy introduction.
Ninety percent of the people in the world will understand what a pirate trading network can do.
Regardless of whether there are nuclear weapons or the like, at least if you want to buy arms on this kind of trading website, or even find a killer, you can do it.
Cheng Fu actually searched for recommenders on the dark web in such a big way? Is this guy afraid that others won't know that he has other agendas?
"The good news is that he should not be qualified to join the dark web yet. Given his status, there are still some shortcomings, especially since he is Chinese. On the dark web, racial discrimination is unabashed."
Cheng Yu nodded and said, "How many recommenders are needed to join the dark web?"
"My classmate told me that in the dark web, there are five transaction levels abcde, and the membership status is also these five levels. If you want to become a member of the dark web, you need the recommendation of at least three A-level members, or seven
Recommended by a B-level member.”
"So, it's very difficult?"
Xue Changyun said: "Well, with your status, even if you can find three A-level members of the dark web, they may not agree to recommend you. Let alone Cheng Fu. The identity of dark web members is said to be in Europe
In the social circle, he is no less popular than the royal family and nobles in the past."
"Then, Master Cheng will never have the chance to join the darknet in his life."
Xue Changyun nodded and added: "Unless he can find an S-level member and that person is willing to recommend him to join the dark web."
"Why did another S-class appear?"
"There is always a supreme VIP. This is not a level that can be reached through the accumulation of transaction amount and quantity, but a hereditary lifetime honor. There are only five S-level members in Europe. Moreover, these five S-level members
, it is said that one is the King of England, one is the King of Spain, one is a descendant of Bonaparte, and the other is a descendant of Roger Wood you just mentioned..."
"Bonaparte? Emperor of France?"
Xue Changyun nodded and said: "Yes, he is a descendant of Napoleon."
"Don't Napoleon have no descendants?"
"This itself is controversial. Some people have always said that they are the descendants of Napoleon and his mistress's illegitimate child. Of course, there is no direct evidence. But this is not important. They have said that S-class membership is only an honorary level. It doesn't matter whether you have this person or not. You
Is it conceivable that the current Queen of England and King Felipe VI of Spain are trading with others on the dark web?"
Cheng Yu smiled and thought that was true.
"But you only mentioned four S-class members just now, where is the fifth one?"
Xue Changyun shook his head and said: "All my friends don't know who this fifth S-class member is, but they said there have been rumors that among the five S-class members, the only one is likely to trade on the dark web.
, that’s the person.”
"That means that this S-class member is most likely real and not just an honorary title."
Xue Changyun nodded.
"But you don't have to worry, Master Cheng is not that energetic yet."
…
The time gradually moved toward midnight, and Xue Changyun said: "It's getting late, so you should go to bed early. Xiao Yu doesn't seem to be bothering anymore."
Cheng Yu nodded, picked up Du Xiaoyu, walked to the door, thought for a while, then turned back and said: "Don't worry about Wu Dong's affairs, I will take care of them. After you return to Xixi tomorrow, you should pay close attention to some things.
Right. It’s impossible to keep your father’s affairs a secret forever.”
Xue Changyun also nodded.
After returning to the room, he put Du Xiaoyu on the bed and covered her with a quilt. Cheng Yu went into the bathroom to wash up and was about to get into the space capsule to sleep when he heard Du Xiaoyu making the sound of vomiting.
Quickly grabbing the trash can, Cheng Yu rushed to the bedside and finally caught up, but Du Xiaoyu's mouth had already started to spit out vomit.
Not caring so much, Cheng Yu put the trash can on Du Xiaoyu's head, flipped his wrist and pressed it down.
Although there was still a little splash, but luckily it was just a little bit. Du Xiaoyu stuck his head in the trash can and vomited heartily.
Looking at Du Xiaoyu who had nothing to vomit, Cheng Yu slowly shook his head, thinking that such a beautiful woman could only be like this when she drinks too much.
Du Xiaoyu vomited for a while and finally stopped.
Cheng Yu went to the bathroom and took out a hot towel, wiped it with her, poured a glass of warm water for her to take a few sips, and then dealt with the little vomit that spilled by the bed. He only felt that his scalp was numb.
Looking at the trash can full of vomit, the smell was overwhelming. Cheng Yu thought about it and threw the trash can directly into the large trash can in the yard.
After returning, Du Xiaoyu had rolled off the bed and onto the ground. Cheng Yu was startled and hurriedly rushed over to hug him onto the bed.
But Du Xiaoyu didn't let go after being hugged by Cheng Yu. Cheng Yu had no choice but to take off his shoes, get on the bed, and lie down next to Du Xiaoyu.
Du Xiaoyu was holding a big doll, using his hands and feet together, clinging to Cheng Yu like a koala.
This position made Cheng Yu very awkward and unable to move at all, but he had no other choice but to make do with it.
Cheng Yu could hold on at first, but it was indeed getting late. He was actually busy running around that day and didn't get any rest. Gradually, he fell into a drowsy sleep.
In the morning, Cheng Yu was woken up by a sharp pain.
Opening his eyes, Cheng Yu found himself lying under the bed, with one foot still hanging on the bed. The severe pain came from the outside of his hip bone, probably from the bump and tear when he fell out of bed.
"Why are you sleeping on my bed?" Du Xiaoyu stared at Cheng Yu with a little confusion, a little fear, and a little anger.
Cheng Yu moved his feet off the bed and stood up despite the pain.
The impact on his crotch was really severe, and Cheng Yu almost lost his balance.
"I served you for half the night, and then you probably regarded me as a doll. You held me in your arms and wouldn't let go, so I could only lie on the bed undressed for a while. You wouldn't think that I would treat someone who smelled like vomit all over my body.
Do women behave like beasts?"
Du Xiaoyu was stunned, lowered his head and smelled it, the smell was indeed very intoxicating.
Especially since there were still a few traces of vomit wiped off on her chest, it made her even more aware of what kind of character she was last night.
However, soon, Du Xiaoyu glared at Cheng Yu again and said, "Who wiped my chest?"
Cheng Yu slapped his forehead and limped toward the door. This woman was simply unreasonable. At this time, shouldn't you be extremely ashamed, bow your head, admit your guilt, and express your gratitude?
Why do you still beat him up?
Du Xiaoyu didn't pursue it. In fact, she just felt too embarrassed.
The moment she saw the traces of vomit on her chest, she thought a lot.
Not long after Cheng Yu came back, she had already broken up, and she has no memory of what happened after that.
The whole process of the fragment happened when the two of them had not finished their first glass of wine after Cheng Yu came back.
The only memory I have is after I wake up.
Knowing that she had vomited was a mess, which already made Du Xiaoyu feel humiliated, so she could only find another way to angrily scold Cheng Yu to end her humiliation.
After Cheng Yu went out, she got into the quilt and murmured in a low voice with her face flushed: "It's so embarrassing... If this continues, he's probably not even interested in me anymore... Du Xiaoyu, Du Xiaoyu
, are you a pig?"
It was already approaching noon, and Xue Changyun had already left. Cheng Yu went to the living room to tidy up a little, and there was a growling sound in his stomach.
I walked to the kitchen and took out the dishes I put in the refrigerator last night.
After hesitating for a moment, Cheng Yu walked back to the bedroom and listened. There was no movement at all, and he didn't know whether Du Xiaoyu fell asleep again or what.
After thinking about it, he reached out and knocked on the door. Cheng Yu shouted: "Are you hungry? Do you want something to eat?"
"No, no, no, no..." Du Xiaoyu's voice seemed a bit dull. She was like an ostrich now, hiding her head under the quilt and unwilling to face the reality.
Cheng Yu shrugged and didn't understand Du Xiaoyu's current state. Since she said she didn't want to eat, just ignore her.
After the food was heated and Cheng Yu finished eating, he wanted to go back to the house and wash up.
But Du Xiaoyu actually locked the door, so he couldn't get in. He knocked on the door, but Du Xiaoyu ignored it.
Cheng Yu had no choice but to go to the guest room to wash up.
Fortunately, after being held by Du Xiaoyu all night, Cheng Yu had enough clothes to go out, but he was just a little too drunk.
Smelling the smell of alcohol, Cheng Yu didn't dare to drive, so he could only call a car and go out.
Passing by the shopping mall in the city center, Cheng Yu went in to buy some clothes, and then went to the research institute.
When asked before, both Chen Jiang and Wu Jing said that Li Dali only had a New Year's Eve dinner with them on New Year's Eve, and if they called him on the first day of the new year, he would not go anyway.
Afterwards, they delivered meals to Li Dali, but Li Dali was not at home. Thanks to Wu Jing, who knew Li Dali better, when he went to the research institute, he was indeed studying on the projects that had been interrupted due to his departure.
In the next two days, they made arrangements for each person to deliver meals to the research institute for Li Dali.
Li Dali asked them not to give it away, saying that he could handle it by ordering some noodles or something, but they still strictly followed Cheng Yu's requirements and tried their best to ensure Li Dali's food problem.
Cheng Yu also felt helpless about this, so he thought of going to the research institute to see Li Dali.
Seeing Cheng Yu coming, Li Dali was also a little flustered. After calling out to Mr. Cheng, he was at a loss.
Cheng Yu smiled and said, "Happy New Year, Mr. Li."
Only then did Li Dali react and said quickly: "Happy New Year, Happy New Year."
"You said it's so easy to take a few days off during the Chinese New Year, why don't you, Mr. Li, take a good rest?"
Li Dali seemed more natural now and said: "I have been resting for four years, and I really can't rest anymore. I'm afraid that if I don't get started quickly, I will really be left behind by the development of the industry in the past four years.
"
When Cheng Yu saw this, he didn't say much and just asked some questions about the project.
When talking about the project, Li Dali suddenly became more energetic and no longer felt awkward and nervous as before.
Regardless of whether Cheng Yu understood or not, Li Dali kept introducing the projects to Cheng Yu.
These include which projects can be further developed immediately on the basis of the previous ones, and which projects whose previous research and development are somewhat outdated due to time, but the ultimate goal is worthy of advancement...
