Although New Year's Day is a holiday, it is usually only lively on December 31st. Especially during the New Year's Eve in the evening, billions of people around the world stay up late waiting for the countdown to midnight to bid farewell to the old and welcome the new.
At this time of year, many places around the world hold countdown activities to bring everyone together to welcome the New Year. The city is no exception, but this year it is even more lively. In addition to the usual suburban bridges along the river, the Zhongyao Building in the past two years,
Besides Tang Palace, there is another place, and that is 'TW'. And just like Christmas, Zhongyao Group, East Street and the newly opened 'TW' will continue to work together to report a event that is said to be the largest in the history of the city.
The large-scale open-air countdown party is expected to have more than 150,000 attendees.
In fact, after several companies achieved great success in their Christmas parties, the overwhelming publicity has spread all over the streets and alleys across the country, and even appeared on the news homepage of the state. Celebrity guests, party performances, and generous gifts were given out.
Crazy discounts... Of course, there are also bars, amusement parks, and other massive benefits and discounts. There are even large-scale game special events organized by the 'Cloud' Group, where popular online game anchors and professional players perform...
There is everything to eat, drink and play; leisure and entertainment is suitable for all ages.
However, these are not too important to Chen Fu, because this year he plans to give his mother a small surprise and go home early to accompany her. Although she is used to going to bed early, based on previous years' experience, there is a high probability that she will be able to go to bed at 12 o'clock.
I caught up with my friends for a gathering before, but that was later.
"You have to work overtime tonight, right?"
"Yes, I have to stay on guard until tomorrow morning... I'm sorry, as promised, I originally wanted to take shifts, but there are really not enough people in the team..."
"It's okay, work is important..."
Chen Fu was walking on the sidewalk, looking at the message, and could only reply like this. After so many years together, during major festivals, the two of them had little chance to get along. Although they are both used to it, like New Year's Eve, Chinese New Year, and Mid-Autumn Festival,
Valentine's Day... I always feel a little regretful that we can't spend these holidays together. It's so great and positive that you have benefited millions of people through your hard work. However, in reality, who knows how sad it is.
However, looking at the orphanage at the other end of the road, he was still satisfied. At least he still had something to think about, while some people didn't even have a chance to think about it.
Beep——
On the road, the black car slowed down, pulled over slowly, and drove side by side with him.
Chen Fu was startled, and then he saw that it was Zang Xue driving the car. The window was lowered, she turned her face slightly sideways, with a smile on her lips, and said, "Hey, what a coincidence?"
"Well, come and see
look."
"Me too, come on, get in the car."
"No, I can just walk over there..." Chen Fu declined with a smile after seeing that it was less than fifty meters away.
"Why are you leaving? Come up quickly..." Zang Xue smiled slyly, but was very frank and unceremonious, "Save your energy and help me move my things later."
"Ho--"
With a helpless smile, Chen Fu had no choice but to get in the car. In the past, he thought that this woman was doing charity mostly just for fame and fortune, but after almost half a year, he found that she really meant it. In addition to the monthly group's fixed donation, she herself occasionally
Come here and bring a car trunk of gifts for the children and the elderly... Although it only happens once or twice a month, for a busy person like her, it is already quite a big deal.
"How's it going? What's the show tonight?"
"No, go home."
"Ah? So good?" Zang Xue was a little surprised. She glanced at the rearview mirror and saw a van coming from behind, so she slowed down.
"well enough……"
Why did these words feel so awkward? Chen Fu was speechless. He was about to say something when he suddenly paused and looked out the window.
The van passed in front, swung suddenly, and blocked the front!
"ah--"
Zang Xue screamed and hit the brakes reflexively. The car stopped suddenly, but because they had just started, the two of them were not greatly affected. Chen Fu looked up and saw three or four people rushing out of the van.
Everyone, wearing masks and masks, holding sticks in their hands, went straight to the cab. He glanced at Zang Xue and saw that she was in shock, so he immediately reached over to her side, pressed the window closing button, and raised the open window.
boom--
Before the glass was completely closed, an iron rod was knocked from the outside. However, only a little dust was left on the glass surface, not even a single crack.
"come out!"
"get out--"
They probably didn't expect this to happen. As soon as the window was closed, the people who got out of the van were caught off guard. They shouted and threatened, and took turns smashing the windows several times, but only a few small cracks were made...
Chen Fu raised his eyebrows. Doesn't he look like a professional? If the eldest lady of the Zhongyao Group has a little bit of professional knowledge, she wouldn't think that the car windows are ordinary glass, right? Let alone reinforced bulletproof glass, even it is moderately bulletproof.
The strength is enough to make you exhausted even if you hit it with your hands.
How stupid.
Seeing them jumping to their feet in a hurry, Chen Fu twitched the corner of his mouth and said, "Reverse!"
ah?
Zang Xue was originally scared and a little confused.
, looked at him for a few seconds, and then reacted. Her psychological quality was already good, and she had seen a lot of the world. After she came to her senses, she immediately regained her composure, held the steering wheel, and quickly shifted into reverse gear.
, without looking behind, he stepped on the accelerator.
squeak--
The car shook but did not move.
Chen Fu was stunned, looked back, and then blurted out "fuck", and subconsciously rushed towards Zang Xue, protecting her in a daze.
boom.
The whole car turned over and stood on its side.
Jingle Bell.
"Hey——, oh, um."
Zhao Qian hung up the phone and looked across the hall.
Today, the Tang Palace held an annual dinner, and many celebrities were present. At this time, Li Chengqi was drinking and laughing with Han Chenghui and other people. Then he seemed to feel something. He turned his head and faced Zhao Qian.
I took a look and smiled even more happily.
"Tell Mr. Li that I'm going to do something and leave first."
Zhao Qian called the waiter over, gave a few instructions, and then returned to the office. Without turning on the light, he opened his laptop and clicked on the monitoring system. After looking at it for a while, he frowned, pondered for a while, and finally
Knocked on the keyboard a few times.
Tickle bell bell bell.
He glanced at the caller and dialed the call, "Hello."
"Boss, you didn't say that the person you want us to tie up is the eldest lady of Zhongyao Group."
"Make a price."
"Exciting! Then I won't talk nonsense. The price is 3 million!"
"Can……"
"Two million cash, one million U.S. dollars!"
"..." Zhao Qian frowned.
"Haha, think about it, call me, but you'd better hurry up, otherwise, if I get bored and chat with this young lady, I might say something I shouldn't say..."
"Okay..." Zhao Qian pushed up his glasses, the lenses reflecting the light of the portable screen, "Give me 2 hours to prepare."
"half an hour!"
"Cash is fine, US dollars will take a while, unless you want to leave a tail for the police."
"One hour at most! No negotiation!"
"Okay, I will now..."
“I’ll contact you then!”
Click.
Zhao Qian settled for a few seconds, then looked at the screen. A new moving red dot appeared on the positioning map. He pushed the frame again and raised the corners of his mouth slightly.
