Qin Hao paused for a moment. Although he was anxious inside, he felt a little confused for a moment...
"Why didn't you say anything?" Guan Xiaofei asked eagerly.
Qin Hao's eyes dimmed, and in a low voice filled with pain, he flew at a low altitude in the quiet space, "Xiao Fei, do you know what Gu Xijue went through when he took over Jin Jue?"
"What?!"
"Life or death." Qin Hao put his arm around Guan Xiaofei's shoulders and rested his chin on her shoulders. Only in this way, she would not see his fragile expression at this moment. "At that time, Gu Xijue had just taken over the company.
Countless spotlights are on him, countless media are pursuing him, and countless people are envious of him, but no one knows the price behind his fame. His first big move after taking office was to acquire Mingcheng Group, with a total purchase price of
5.6 billion, a premium of 41%. It can be said to be a hostile takeover, bypassing the management and negotiating directly with shareholders and the government... In fact, it is a test. If he can do it, then he will be Jinjue's well-deserved new owner, but
If he loses..."
"Just nothing?!"
"It's not that simple. If he loses, not only will he leave alone, but also me and everyone in the team below us. That test is actually a bet on the fate of all of us. He is the leader.
Every decision he makes is a matter of life and death. If he makes a mistake, we will lose everything. As you know, many people in our team followed him into the business as soon as they graduated from Harvard.
, everyone is his responsibility, and he cannot afford to lose, so he only sleeps for three hours a day, but must maintain a high degree of calm in the remaining twenty-one hours, dealing with various interest disputes.
Surrounded by various conspiracies and conspiracies..."
Qin Hao seemed to be at a loss to speak, and skipped the long and bitter part in the middle, "In the end... he won, won that test, won the recognition of all shareholders, and won his own dazzling life,
It also won the future for all of us. Xiaofei, I have only hidden one thing from you for so many years, that is, at that celebration banquet... I cried... Behind the glitz is either sadness or filth, and outsiders have no idea.
To understand how we survived those days..."
Guan Xiaofei didn't say anything, she just stretched out her arms and hugged him tightly.
"Xiao Fei, I really don't dare to check. Gu Xijue and I haven't seen each other for a long time. We have never been so far apart in these years. If it were for other reasons,
No matter how many winds, frosts, snows and rains he has gone through, I will never worry about him. No one knows his abilities better than me, and no one knows his feelings for Jin Jue better than me... But he became a hero overnight.
After selling Jin Jue, I don’t know where his courage came from. How much pain did he have to go through to be so decisive... Because of this, I am afraid that even if I am sure that Mr. G is him, he will not
Will come back with me..."
For a moment, Qin Hao's eye sockets were slightly wet and his voice was hoarse. Sometimes men are not as strong as they imagined.

Gu Xijue left Germany with simple luggage and traveled to another country.
He traveled to many places during these days, but he never stayed in any place for long because he didn't want to be found.
Love, family affection, and friendship are all extremely luxurious things to him now.
My mind was filled with those clear and tender eyes, and my calm heart was touched by her soft and sad eyes, which made me tremble briefly.
He raised his hand and touched his heart gently, and just as a breeze blew by, the begonia tree dropped dots of red. The petals were wrapped in the moist wind, crushed, and flew to the other side of the distant clouds, or to the other side of the distant clouds.
It was falling to the other shore of the earth, and the fragrance was lingering, leaving a deep and not shallow mark in his heart that would not go away.
It wasn't until the horn of a car on the roadside rang that he realized that he was staring at the crabapple in a daze.
Because there was almost no one to contact, the phone rarely rang, but it suddenly vibrated faintly, "MR Gu... My tutor and I have analyzed your situation again, and we recommend that you go to a place
--Denmark."

As the sun set, the golden rays of light dyed the scattered but uneven buildings red. Xi Haitang took the latest design drawing to the agreed location. At the top of the hour, the clock tower in the city center gave out a sudden sound.
Sanskrit sounds, like evening prayers, spread far away to the sounds of nature.
Xi Haitang slowly looked back, towards the source of the sound, and then subconsciously looked at his wrist. The red thread was still there.
Soon we arrived at the Yalan Restaurant. Xiao Muyuan had already arrived and sat at the window seat.
"Senior, I'm sorry, I'm late."
"No, I arrived early."
Xi Haitang sat down and handed him the design drawing, "Senior, this is the design material you gave me last time. It's finished. Take a look."
"Hmm." Xiao Muyuan unfolded the design drawing, looked at it, and said with amusement, "Most designers will carve the blue diamond design into a sad style, but yours is very special, giving people a hopeful look.
strength."
Xi Haitang was a little uneasy, "Senior, I just think it's not good that everyone has fixed Blue Diamond into one style. It's probably because of the influence of 'Star of Hope'."
"Star of Hope", one of the most famous diamonds in the diamond family, has suffered a series of misfortunes from its first owner to its last owner. French King Louis was its first owner, and his favorite grandson died suddenly.
Life was also full of misfortunes. Shortly after Louis XVI obtained the diamond, he was guillotined with the queen. After the Dutch businessman cut and polished the diamond, its weight shrank severely to 444 carats, and his son stole it.
He then committed suicide for unknown reasons. British jewelry collector Henry bought the diamond with a lot of money and named it "Hope" from then on. However, bad luck did not let him go. His subsequent violent death seemed to further make people understand that
This was an ominous gem. It changed hands several times, and none of its owners had a good death. It was not until it was collected in the Washington Museum that the dust settled and the misfortune finally stopped.
Xiao Muyuan smiled and was pleased with her progress, "Begonia, your design is definitely innovative. I want to bring it to the exchange meeting for the masters in the industry to see. What do you think?"
"Exchange?!"
"Well. There will be an exchange meeting in Denmark in half a month. I received two invitations at midnight. You can go with me. Think about it!"
