Apex Predator - Chap 99

The big news on Monday came from Chuanghai Group. It is said that Chuanghai’s capital chain is broken, and many debts have defaulted, and the stock has also plummeted.

After Chuanghai was acquired by Xingzhou, it was forced to continue its life for a period of time, but in the end, it was unable to recover from the high debt and the business situation that did not turn around, and faced the risk of delisting at any time. There is another theory circulating in the industry, saying that after Xingzhou took away Chuanghai’s mining and prospecting qualifications, Chuanghai has no high-quality assets left, and they used some complicated financial means to transfer the risk to the market, causing the stock price to go up and down. Going down, the final result is that although Xingzhou has to bear part of the debt, the benefits it gets far outweigh the losses, and Chuanghai slipped all the way to the bottom after a brief recovery.

Among them, the Xingzhou Group that wields a sickle makes the most profits. Xingzhou takes the most precious qualifications from the You family on the one hand, and obtains huge loans through the Zhou family on the other hand. It took a year to dilute the debt to the shareholders and obtain the maximum benefit at the minimum cost. This was the first battle that Qu Moyu fought after taking command of Xingzhou. Internally, he stabilized the party struggle and externally expanded capital. The fight was shady, ruthless and beautiful, and it also let the industry see the strength of this young CEO.

Normally, the group of researchers in the research institute don’t care much about the company’s capital level. First, they don’t understand, and second, it has nothing to do with them. But today, many people are discussing the rise and fall of Chuanghai, and Qu’s How did Moyu strategize and integrate resources to lead Xingzhou upstream in such a bad industry environment.

Qu Moyu’s image in the minds of employees can be called “noble”, a perfect person who seems to have no flaws. Although his relationship with Shen Dai once became a hot gossip, the disparity in status and status of the two and the “abandoning a wealthy family for love to marry “It really fits the various elements of fantasy fairy tales, making Qu Moyu sublimated again in the eyes of ordinary people, and the cult of his personality in the company is also very conducive to his management and decision-making.

But Shen Dai always felt that some people were deliberately flattering him by discussing Qu Moyu’s wisdom around him. He pretended not to understand and did not participate in the discussion. After all, only he knew what methods Qu Moyu used to achieve those goals, and he happened to be one of the cannon fodder. At the same time, he didn’t think these people were superficial and pointless. After all, he was also bewitched by Qu Moyu’s light, until he got too close and was burned all over his body.

However, these news still make Shen Dai happy. It can be said that the only happy thing during this period of time has nothing to do with Qu Moyu. It is just watching You Xinghai’s family decline and three generations of glory destroyed by him. It is really satisfying.

Cheng Zimei said quietly: “Chuanghai is over, I’m afraid that cheap brother of yours won’t be proud.”

Shen Dai thought of You Baiyue: “Is there any activity on him on the Internet?” ”

Recently he has kept a low profile. He and Qu Chengchen have already broken up, he is the kind of young master who was spoiled and spoiled since childhood, if the family goes bankrupt, I don’t know if he can bear it.” Cheng Zimei pouted, “It’s really 30 years in Hedong and 30 years in Hexi. Back then, their family What’s wrong with you, I’ll wake up laughing if you’re dreaming.”

Shen Dai smiled: “Let’s go, have a good meal.”

A new batch of materials arrived in the afternoon, and Shen Dai had to wait for the equipment to run a data, so he gave it to himself Overtime. Unexpectedly, when he planned to leave after nine o’clock, it was raining heavily outside. He saw that the rain was heavy and urgent, so he didn’t bring an umbrella, and planned to wait for the rain to calm down before leaving. He was alone in the laboratory at night, and the quiet environment was very suitable for writing. He revised his thesis without noticing the passage of time at all.

until the phone rang.

Shen Dai came back to his senses, picked up the phone and checked, it was Qu Moyu calling.

“Hello?”

The other end of the phone paused, as if he didn’t expect the call to be connected so quickly: “Adai, are you still awake?”

Shen Dai felt that Qu Moyu’s tone was a bit strange, he glanced at the time, It was already past eleven o’clock, and he would not have picked up the phone if he knew it earlier. He said, “Sleep now.”

“Don’t go to bed first.” Qu Moyu hurriedly said, “I’m almost there, I have something I want to show you.” “…What?” ”

I

‘m almost at the place where you live, and I’m driving.”

Shen Dai looked out the window, the rain slowed down a bit, but it still kept falling. It was so late, and on such a heavy rainy night, what did Qu Moyu want to show him?

“You have to take a look, just take a look.” Qu Moyu was afraid that Shen Dai would hang up the phone.

“It’s very late now.” Shen Dai frowned, “What’s the matter…” “I

can only watch it now, and I won’t be able to see it tomorrow.” Qu Moyu’s voice was begging, “Don’t hang up, okay? It will be here soon, in a few minutes, I will go back after reading it.”

Shen Dai understands Qu Moyu’s character very well, the more something hinders him, the more he will do it, the nanny and Qiuqiu have already fallen asleep by this point , can’t let him wake them up, Shen Dai had to say: “I’m not at home, I’m at the company.” “ You are at the company? Is it because it’s raining and you can’t go back, why don’t you

tell me.”

Let me see anything, just bring it to the company.”

“Okay, I’ll be there right away.”

A few minutes later, Shen Dai heard a “ding” sound from the elevator room, such a small sound could not be heard during the day, but In the deserted late night, it is especially crisp.

Then, the door of the laboratory was pushed open, and Qu Moyu was half wet from the rain, holding a black umbrella that kept dripping in one hand and a potted flower in the other.

It was a pot of epiphyllum, and the only solitary milky white flower bud was poised to bloom.

Qu Moyu threw the umbrella aside, and walked over with the pot of epiphyllum in his arms, his eyes full of joy and anticipation: “Look, the epiphyllum I planted is about to bloom.”

A light fragrance wafted into his nostrils. Shen Dai should have been very familiar with the fragrance of flowers that had accompanied him for nearly thirty years, but the more his own, the easier it seemed to be ignored. When he smelled the fragrance of real epiphyllum, the first The first reaction is that it smells really good.

Qu Moyu put the flowerpot on the laboratory table, took out the paper towel at hand and wiped his wet face and hair.

Shen Dai looked at him blankly: “You… just want me to see this?” Braving the heavy rain in the middle of the night and bringing a pot of flowers to him, just to let him see the epiphyllum bloom?

“Yeah, it only opened for an hour, and it’s lucky to catch up.”

Shen Dai looked at Qu Moyu’s limp and wet hair, and then at the pot of epiphyllum that was only stained with water droplets, feeling a surge of emotion in his heart. Unspeakably sad.

Qu Moyu will never know how special the appreciation of epiphyllum is to him.

“Actually, there are several pots planted at home. You didn’t notice it. I also have them in my office.” Qu Moyu gently stroked the slowly stretching flower buds with his fingers, his movements were as gentle as stroking a lover’s hair, “I heard that there are some epiphyllum It has not bloomed for many years, I don’t know when it will bloom, and I don’t know how many flowers it will bloom at a time. It only takes an hour from blooming to decay. It is so fragrant, so beautiful, but so stubborn.” He smiled. “It’s really similar to you.”

When he met Qu Moyu’s warm and enthusiastic gaze, Shen Dai subconsciously turned his eyes away. He knew that he should pack up his things and go home now, but looking at the pot of epiphyllum, this It would be against God’s will to miss the beauty that seldom bloomed once. The memories of his childhood kept flooding into his mind, and his heart was aching.

Qu Moyu wiped his face clean, then picked up Epiphany and put it on the table by the window: “Adai, let’s listen to the rain and enjoy the flowers together.”

Shen Dai hesitated: “It’s very late…”

“Wait a minute I’ll take you back.” Qu Moyu came over again, holding Shen Dai’s hand, “It only blooms for such a short time, don’t miss it, okay.”

Shen Dai slowly pulled his wrist back: “Okay. ”

Outside the window, the rain is dredging and the wind is blowing, rustling, the sky is dark, low and heavy, and the strings of water droplets on the glass reflect the 24-hour lights of the central business district, which merge into one drop by drop. Starlight in the dark night. The two sat face to face by the window, looking at the pot of epiphyllum full of aura placed between them.

It is gently stretching out layers of petals. At first, the outer long petals put down their guard, like a guard putting away a spear, and opened it calmly, and then the inner soft, white petals slowly opened one by one Standing up, like a dancer shaking her flexible waist, she trembles shyly, bursting into bloom, and finally blooms to the extreme, revealing the cream-colored stamens, boldly and beautifully. The rich fragrance of flowers fills the whole space, making people intoxicated.

Shen Dai looked at it, his eyes gradually blurred.

When I was young, I kept several epiphyllums at home, and I could always enjoy the beautiful scenery all year round. When the epiphyllums were about to bloom, he, grandma and grandpa would prepare hot tea and pastries, and watch them while chatting. If there is still a beautiful moonlight that night, it will be even more romantic. This is like a ceremony of their family, carrying his most yearning and unforgettable memories.

At that time, my grandfather said that although the epiphyllum is beautiful, it only lasts for a while, so when it is in full bloom, it must be beautiful to the fullest, and we must appreciate it to the fullest. So he was named “Dai”, which has both the beauty of epiphyllum and the unswervingness of Mount Tai. He knew that his grandfather felt that his pheromones were unlucky, so he wanted to use his name to make up for his possible shortcomings.

He never felt that the epiphyllum is unknown, people see the epiphyllum as short-lived, the world sees people as fleeting, everything has a spirit, who can say that he must be longer than the epiphyllum.

If you can only bloom once in your life, you must do your best this time.

Shen Dai suddenly felt something gentle and generous touching his face, and when he came back to his senses, he found that it was Qu Moyu’s hand.

“Adai, why are you crying?” Qu Moyu gently wiped away the peaceful tears on Shen Dai’s face with his fingertips.

Shen Dai stared at Qu Moyu, his eyes were blurred with tears, epiphyllum and the people in front of him became soft focus in his field of vision, those “noises” that repeatedly tormented him seemed to disappear temporarily at this moment, and he couldn’t see them anymore.

The next moment, Qu Moyu possessed himself and kissed his lips.
