[-]. The Shame of the Past

Zhang Fan and Mai Ye Shenli were very puzzled by the old man's sudden laughter. After the old man finally stopped laughing, they asked quickly, but from the old man's mouth, they heard an unknown past. 【】

It happened 50 years ago, when Academy City was just established, it was the time when strength was needed.

So Aleister sent invitations to large conglomerates all over the world, inviting them to a party.

At that time, the name of the invitation was not published in the name of Aleister, but was signed jointly by the leaders of five world-class companies in Academy City, so at that time, those who could participate in this party were also All are extraordinary people.

Zhang Fan's grandfather, who was one of the emerging digital companies at that time, was also honored to be invited.

I won’t talk about the process of the invitation. In short, those who received the invitation, all those who could come, and those who couldn’t, sent their heirs or confidantes to the banquet. Then at the banquet, Aleister suddenly found In front of everyone's shocked eyes, he explained his purpose.It's very simple, I hope these companies can join Academy City and expand the power of Academy City.

Of course, joining is not free. Any company that joins Academy City will get a piece of information about the industry it is in in the hands of Aleister.What is recorded in the data is technology far surpassing the world at that time by decades.In order to increase credibility, Aleister even announced the simplest item on the spot, but everyone present was stunned.

Those who can come here are not thoughtful and far-sighted people. Reading this document is equivalent to seeing the whole leopard from a glimpse. They realized almost at the same time that if they can really get the advanced technology related to their industry, So from now on, in this industry, will anyone still be his opponent?

As a result, on the spot, hundreds of companies that were invited expressed their willingness to join Academy City and contribute to the construction of Academy City.

But it is a pity that not every company can enter. For each industry, there are as many as four or five, and as few as one or two. Academy City will only select the most powerful and slightly weaker ones from the companies present. , which means that the overall strength of their companies is relatively weak, and such a company, Aleister, is unnecessary.

As soon as this remark came out, everyone on the scene paused, and their eyes on the people around them became a little more wary.

Afterwards, Aleister began to announce the directly selected companies. Those who were selected were naturally very happy, and those who were eliminated were not discouraged, because in Aleister's list, each industry has an undecided quota , This quota is used to compete with each other for those companies that were invited but not selected.

As for Zhang Fan's grandfather's digital industry, the competition for the last place was between his grandfather and the Harajing Group that his grandfather spoke of.

Almost at the same time when the list was announced to end, the outside world, the Harajing Group had already launched an attack on Zhang Fan's grandfather's group.

It has to be said that Zhang Fan's grandfather was also very powerful at that time. Although he started his own business, he relied on his extraordinary courage and correct direction to repeatedly avoid the barriers that should have caused great damage to the company, and smoothed the way. grow.But how to put it, no matter how big it is, it is still a new company after all. It has a lot of capital, but it has all been locked up. The working capital that can be used at any time is extremely high priority.

But Harai is different. It is an old-fashioned company. Although it suffered setbacks in those years and its market share continued to decrease, its foundation is still very strong.

One is a vibrant emerging company, and the other is a well-established company. The two behemoths have launched wave after wave of confrontation in the market.

But in the end, unfortunately, Zhang Fan's grandfather still lost.

The non-stop attack almost exhausted all the company's liquidity, but the Harai Group on the opposite side, even though its vitality was also damaged, was still able to fight.

Needless to say what happened after that, Zhang Fan’s grandfather’s business was defeated, the company was almost bankrupt, and the family almost became paupers. The idea that one of its businesses should disappear completely.So when Zhang Fan's grandfather's business was about to be completely wiped out, Academy City, which had already been established, made a move.Yichang curbed the momentum of Harajing Group and warned it not to continue to act.Yibian injects funds to help Zhang Fan's grandfather's business revitalize.

In the end, the last spot was handed over to the Yuanjing Group, and Zhang Fan's grandfather could only stand outside the walls of Academy City and sigh in awe.

Of course, if it was just like this, his grandfather would not have lost his composure.

After all, it is the ups and downs, the old man who has rich life experience may not be able to be completely calm, but he will not be so emotional.

What really excited him was an incident after the competition.

At that time, the Yuanjing Group was rapidly transferring all its subsidiaries to Academy City, the head of the Yuanjing Group, that is, the person Zhang Fan's grandfather spoke to suddenly appeared in front of his grandfather.At that time, Grandpa accompanied several important customers to dinner, and the importance of these customers in the short term even surpassed the advanced technology in Academy City. Zhang Fan's grandfather wanted to revive, but Academy City's capital injection was not enough Yes, he needs outside support.

So these important customers are his goals.

But at the dinner table, Yuan Jing suddenly appeared, arrogantly insulting Zhang Fan's grandfather, from head to toe, from the inside to the outside, insulting Zhang Fan's grandfather completely, and explained in detail how Zhang Fan's grandfather was. How unbearable the company is under his attack.At the end, when he was about to leave, he turned around and said something that Grandpa Zhang Fan would never forget.

"You will always be a piece of trash in front of me, in the past, now, and in the future! Hmph!"

With a haughty cold snort, Harai left.

Although the subsequent supply and demand agreement was signed smoothly, Yuan Jing's words were deeply engraved in Grandpa Zhang Fan's heart.

At that time, he was only 30 years old, and when he was still in a state of arrogance, he was covered up and scolded in front of the client without any power to refute. For Zhang Fan's grandfather, it was definitely a shame and a shame in his life.

Although Zhang Fan's grandfather re-emerged later, and even became the number one in the industry, and even the largest group in the entire island country, this insult was still deeply engraved in his heart, and he could never forget it.That's why, when Zhang Fan took the initiative to awaken his ability, his grandfather would contact Academy City immediately.

Because Academy City is closed, the companies that joined Academy City at that time can no longer affect the outside world. The direct battle between his grandfather and Harai, the ordinary business war can no longer be realized. The old man can only place his hopes on Zhang Fan's body.No matter how you say it, Academy City is also the stronghold of ability users, and the outcome there is only the strength of ability is the most direct.

I have been paying attention to Academy City and Hara Jing's old man, and know that Hara Jing's grandchildren, except for a lv4 powerful person, have the ability to control airflow.

The old man who had high expectations for Zhang Fan could imagine how happy he was after learning that Zhang Fan became lv5.

Knowing these secrets, Zhang Fan and Mugino Shirley looked at each other, and they both looked at each other with a look of embarrassment.

This old man is really good. He can't let go of what happened when he was young. If Zhang Fan wasn't powerful, the old man would regret it for the rest of his life.It can be said that Zhang Fan's grandfather is obviously the kind of person who likes to drill into a dead end, and this drill has been drilled for a whole life.But that's how he was able to have such success.Being stubborn is not necessarily a derogatory term sometimes. People who love to be stubborn, in other words, are extremely, extremely, extremely, extremely persistent. Only with this kind of persistent spirit can people succeed.

In the following time, it was completely reduced to the life review of the old man alone. Zhang Fan and Mai Ye Shenli couldn't intervene, and it was not easy to intervene, so they just listened quietly.

When the car finally stopped, the old man's review also ended at the same time. After looking at the scenery outside, he found that he had already arrived home.Recalling what he had done along the way, the old man rubbed his nose in embarrassment.

"I'm really sorry, I, I was only thinking about talking to myself, but I let you hang out again, it's really..."

"It's okay, grandpa, your deeds are also very touching, I actually want to listen to it for a while!"

Mai Ye Shenli smiled calmly and said softly.

"Haha, you little girl, you have such a sweet mouth. I, your temperament and behavior are unusual, you must also be a child of a big family!"

"Yes, my father is the current head of the Mugino family!"

Mai Ye Shenli nodded and said lightly.

"Mai Ye... Oh, it's the Mai Ye Group in the west, you are actually a child of that family before arriving first..." Zhang Fan's grandfather paused when he heard the words, first suddenly realized, and then became confused, "No, Mai Ye As far as I know, there are only four children, but none of them is called Mai Ye Shenli, why do you..."

"Old man, this belongs to someone else, how can you ask..."

Zhang Fan's heart tightened, and the two hurriedly called out a reminder.

"It's okay, in fact, my situation is quite special..."

Immediately afterwards, Mai Ye Shenli briefly told the old man what he had told Zhang Fan.

She is now open, and she doesn't feel ashamed about what happened to her. After all, it is a matter of the previous generation, and she can't change it at all. What she can do is to live her own life well.Now that I have someone I like, and the other person also likes me very much, that's enough. As a lv5 superpower, she has become weaker and weaker.

Thinking of this, Mai Ye Shenli couldn't help but glanced at Zhang Fan, with a happy smile on his face.

After listening to Mai Ye Shenli, the old man realized how reckless his question was just now, he smiled embarrassedly, and immediately apologized.

Mugino Shenli didn't mind, so he practiced saying "no" and "it doesn't matter".

The two of them exchanged a few words, and the car behind also came back. After the three girls in the car got off, a group of people including Zhang Fan entered the huge building in front of them under the guidance of his grandfather. within the villa.
