If I still remember you in the next life

Chapter 14 Epilogue: The Fall of the World

VOL.32
Rong Zhicheng opened his laptop, and while reading the thick quarterly report, he said: "The Dow Jones fell by 87% as soon as the market opened today, Huanyu International has fallen to 96 yuan, and Puhua has only [-] yuan. Raise the index..." After finishing speaking, he looked at the boss in front of him: "Mr. Du, can we liquidate all the shares of Huanyu now?"

"No." The young man sitting opposite him gently straightened his watch, looked up at the traffic jam in front of him, flicked his finger on the surface twice and said, "Give me another 3 shares of Huanyu International, Try to scan the scattered stocks of Huanyu on the market."

Rong Zhicheng was stunned for a moment, then blinked and looked at the man sitting beside the young man.

Su Xiaoquan said: "Third Young Master, will the risk of such a forced acquisition be too great? Do you want to ask the chairman."

"I am now the CEO of EMK. So," he looked at the people beside him, turned to Rong Zhicheng and said, "Do as I say." His tone was flat, but it was an order that could not be questioned.

"Yes." Rong Zhicheng could only put away the hundred-page report that he had prepared for two days and two nights.

The black Cadillac was helpless in the face of the long traffic jam. It took a long time to move slowly, but finally it was still stuck at the bottleneck of the team and remained silent.

He pushed open the car door and said to Su Xiaoquan who was beside him: "I'll go back by myself, you don't have to worry about me. I will attend the board meeting at three o'clock on time." He got out of the car without looking back.Su Xiaoquan yelled: "Third Young Master." Just as he was about to open the car door, a car that jumped in line next to him beeped its horn.Rong Zhicheng grabbed him and said, "Mr. Su, it's too dangerous to get off here. Let Mr. Du walk alone."

Su Xiaoquan broke away from his hand: "You don't understand, you can't leave him alone." Rong Zhicheng looked at him puzzled: "Why?" He looked discouragedly at the young man in front of him, where should he explain it to him?Finally, he could only sigh and say, "You don't understand."

Rong Zhicheng smiled heartily: "You are worried that the third young master is in danger, how can he be so big? He is so capable." Su Xiaoquan looked back at Rong Zhicheng, smiled and said: "I'm worried It’s not this.” Looking at him again, he said, “Zhicheng, I heard that you have a dual-degree master’s degree. You studied for a Ph.D. After graduating with a Ph.D., at the age of 23, he is already an executive of the four major financial companies. You have no shortage of job opportunities, why come to EMK?"

Rong Zhicheng adjusted his glasses, and said a little shyly, "My fiancée is here, and I want to be with her. She said EMK is a good choice."

"Your girlfriend?"

"Mr. Du is already the president of EMK at such a young age. I have learned a lot from him these days. He acquired Meisha and Boqiang in just one year, and he did it so cleanly and beautifully. You don't know all the financial Magazines are talking about him, I..." The young man's face was shining brightly, he adjusted his glasses lightly and said, "My girlfriend hopes that I can become like him, and we will be very happy in the future."

When the child spoke, his eyes were full of admiration and sincerity.Su Xiaoquan's heart trembled slightly, he also saw this kind of brilliance in that person's eyes many years ago.He couldn't help showing a trace of pity, he patted the thin shoulder lightly and said, "Would you be happy like him?"

"Why not." Rong Zhicheng smiled and said, "Mr. Su, you don't understand women, they always want their men to be outstanding, enough for them to earn enough face in front of their female companions."

"I don't understand women." He froze there, muttering to himself, but didn't hear what Rong Zhicheng said later.

He suddenly remembered that one night many years ago, she rushed out of the car angrily and shouted: "How can you treat Luo Xin like this? Is she going to kill her? I'm going to tell Luo Xin." At that time, he was only worried about the operation, and he was eager to stop her, so he got out of the car to stop her, and said solemnly: "I promise, she will be fine, I promise " She suddenly looked at him suspiciously and asked: "You promise?" He was able to blurt out without blinking: "I promise."

So what did he promise?Nothing at all.

He couldn't even guarantee her safety. That explosion caused her to lose her bright future, and he was still powerless.He couldn't even make it up to her, she didn't give him any chance... No wonder she called him an asshole, beat him, hated him, and cursed him so hysterically at that time.He didn't give her anything, and the only promise he made was worse than waste paper.He took away the happiness of her best friend by her side, he is just a complete self-serving liar with no credit.

What she said was right: Su Xiaoquan, you are a cold-blooded and selfish bastard!

"Mr. Su?" Rong Zhicheng called out tentatively.

"I have to go see Third Young Master, you can go and do your work." Before Rong Zhicheng could answer, Su Xiaoquan had already opened the door and got off the car.

This crowded and hurried city is full of traffic and crowds.So busy that people have no time to think and no time to stay.Every time he passed through the bustling crowd, there was always a trace of loneliness behind him.He knew he must have missed something, but couldn't remember, he wasn't one with memories.

He suddenly received a call the afternoon before yesterday, and he only said, "At two o'clock in the afternoon on Thursday, I'll be waiting for you at Huanyu International. You come alone."

He shouldn't have gone, they were rivals, there's not much to say.But he didn't know why, there was an invisible force pulling him, and there was a voice in his heart saying "Go, go, you will find it if you go there", but what did you find?He didn't know, so he wanted to go even more.

The elevator stopped on the 23rd floor. He hesitated for a moment, walked to the reception desk and said, "Please, Mr. Zheng has an appointment with me." The reception lady looked up and saw that it was him, and suddenly blushed, she picked up the phone at a loss and connected. The general manager's office, and then looked at him and said: "Sir, you are... Du..." He smiled slightly and said, "Du Zeshan." She put down the phone and said as calmly as possible: "Mr. Zheng is waiting for you in the conference room. "He nodded slightly, turned and walked towards the conference room.

The door of the conference room opened left and right, and Du Zeshan walked in.There is no light in the room, and there is plenty of daylight. The sides of the long round conference table are empty. There is only one person sitting at one end of the conference table, quietly watching the picture played on the projection screen. His appearance cannot be seen in the backlight, only a thin man back view.

Hearing him coming in, the man turned around, the cold light hit his face, his outline was stern and sharp.

"Long time no see, Mr. Zheng." He pressed the remote control, and the screen stayed on a close-up of a woman's face.

Du Zeshan also smiled, and said politely: "It's been a long time. Last time on the board of directors, you took the position of chairman of Huanyu with 41% of the shares. I haven't congratulated you yet."

"There's no need to say polite words. I didn't invite you here today for business."

"Oh?" Du Zeshan smiled, and slowly sat down on the chair and said, "Isn't it for business? I really can't think of any private matters we can talk about."

"If you really don't think there is one, why did you come here?" Zheng Kaiwen smiled calmly, then raised his hand and pressed the play button and said, "I'll show you something."

The picture moved again, and the camera gradually zoomed out. A girl in a goose-yellow knit jacket sat on the sofa, brushed her hair lightly towards the camera, then smiled slightly and said, "Jiang Yang, if you Watching this tape, whether you remember me or not, I'm just saying I'm glad you're back healthy."

He froze for a moment, the woman on the screen was not beautiful and beautiful, but the pair of Lingbo-like nimble eyes on the palm-sized face shone with happiness.He has never seen this woman before, but why are the smiles and eyebrows so familiar.

His heart was filled with that smile all of a sudden, as if it was going to burst.

Looking at them through a projection screen, she continued: "I don't know if we can meet again, I don't know why I have a feeling of uneasiness. You remember we went to the temple in Hangzhou and I asked for a lottery I didn't tell you that the signature was not good, but I hope it's not on you. I hope everything goes well for you, even if you really don't remember me, really don't Love me, but I still want you to be happy." She smiled awkwardly and said, "Is it like a dialogue in a TV series, I dare not say it in front of you..."

Du Zeshan couldn't help shaking his hand holding the chair, and his expression also showed a little shock involuntarily.However, he didn't speak, and he didn't even move his eyelashes.He just looked at Zheng Kaiwen and said, "What do you mean?"

He smiled and said, "Why are you in a hurry, read on."

The woman in the video pointed to a box next to her and said, "I have put away all your video tapes and mine, so that I can show it to our children in the future and tell him that his father is a genius..." She Smiled for a while, that happy smile was like strawberry juice on milk, dissolving away bit by bit.

"I haven't told you that I'm pregnant. I can't get the report until tomorrow, but I think I can't be wrong." She slowly put her hand on her lower abdomen and said, "Didn't you always want to be pregnant?" Do you want a child? I think you will be very happy to know. But I can't tell you now..."

She lowered her eyelashes and said lightly: "I have called you many times these days, but I don't know why I can't get through. I can only wait for you to call and listen to you blaming me for not calling you. I am very happy I'm worried, but I dare not tell you." She raised her hand and gently wiped a tear from her eyelashes and said, "Jiang Yang, no matter what happens in the future, please remember what you said to me at the beginning, you must be happy... ..."

He stood up suddenly and said with a sneer, "Zheng Kaiwen, what exactly do you want?"

He smiled, and suddenly his eyes were full of anger: "You actually forgot her!"

It's not that he forgot, he doesn't remember at all.

He suddenly felt a chill rise from his bone marrow, what was he talking about.

The woman on the screen is still smiling faintly, talking about something.But they couldn't hear clearly, Zheng Kaiwen suddenly leaned over, grabbed Du Zeshan's collar with one hand, forced him to look at the screen and said, "Take a good look, take a good look at her, her name is Liang Luoxin , she is Liang Luoxin!"

All he felt was a headache.The girl on the screen had a spring-like smile, but it was like a slender needle, touching one of the tiniest and most fragile nerves in his mind, shaking every cell in pain, making his whole body ache. They all hurt.Liang Luoxin, Liang Luoxin...impossible, this must be a trick.

He won't be fooled.

Du Zeshan shook Zheng Kaiwen's hand violently, and said, "Zheng Kaiwen, do you want to ruin my reputation with this? I tell you I'm not afraid. I'm not an elite celebrity, so it doesn't matter to me even if I lose my reputation. This kind of third-rate performance You'd better keep it to yourself. If you want me to believe it, it's better to let her act in front of me, it's more real, and it's better to bring another child."

"I also want her to come and tell you clearly in person, but she can't come, never will come. She is dead, killed by that beastly uncle of yours!" Zheng Kaiwen sneered: "If it wasn't because of the words that day Xiao Nan found this videotape, and this videotape, like everything else, will be completely burned by the explosion."

Du Zeshan suddenly grabbed Zheng Kaiwen by the collar and pushed him to the corner: "Zheng Kaiwen, you can be considered unscrupulous."

"Meng Jiangyang, I really misjudged you, and Luo Xin misjudged you too. I didn't expect you to be such a person who can't distinguish between right and wrong. Fortunately, she also said not to let you know, never, never to let you know... you know I don’t know what she doesn’t want you to know?! He doesn’t want you to know how much she has suffered for you, she doesn’t want you to know that the woman you once loved the most was killed by your uncle, she doesn’t want you to know that you once There was a child, but she was killed by your uncle at only seven weeks old, she didn’t want you to know, she said never, never, ever!”

Taking advantage of the moment when he lost his mind, Zheng Kaiwen pushed him away with his backhand.His back hit the wall, and his gums were numb from the pain.But no, it wasn't the body that hurt the most.As if someone had grabbed her tightly, her heartbeat stopped in an instant, and even her breathing was out of rhythm.Then it shattered into pieces, peeling off its own body.

Someone behind him suddenly helped him, and said with concern: "Third Young Master, are you alright?"

He turned around to see that person, grabbed him suddenly and asked, "Third brother, tell me if what he said is true, is it... is it..." He pointed at the picture on the screen and yelled hysterically Dao said: "Tell me, who is she, do you know her, you talk! Tell me! Is what he said true!"

The moment Su Xiaoquan raised his head, that expression had already told him everything.He shook his body, as if something flashed through his mind, like a sharp knife, pierced into his brain.He endured the pain, and slowly let go of his hand, Su Xiaoquan hastily pulled him to prevent him from accidentally falling.

But Du Zeshan had already broken free from him, leaning on the wall and staggering out of the meeting room.

Su Xiaoquan looked back at the picture on the screen, raised his hand and pressed the button to stop playing, glanced at Zheng Kaiwen who fell on the ground, and almost squeezed out the words from his teeth: "You are so despicable!"

"Yes, I am very despicable." Zheng Kaiwen took a breath slowly, smiled and said, "But you are not much better than me. Don't forget, there will always be someone in this world who hates you, otherwise she Won't give me the tape."

Su Xiaoquan felt his joints creaking, but in the end he just gave Zheng Kaiwen a cold look, turned and walked out without saying a word.

"Second Young Master." Seeing Su Xiaoquan walk out of the conference room, Akun hurried in and helped Zheng Kaiwen.

He dragged his handicapped left leg and sat down slowly, then looked up at Akun, and asked, "What's the matter?" Akun hesitated before saying, "Miss Yan is here." He turned his head Went there, and found Yan Xiaonan standing at the corner of the corridor with a face as cold as a stone sculpture.

Zheng Kaiwen smiled instead and said, "Are you also trying to say that I'm mean?"

Yan Xiaonan walked in slowly, took out the video tape from the video recorder, and carefully put it back into the handbag.Looking at her actions, he suddenly felt extremely painful, and said after a long time: "Don't blame me, I can't help it. This is my last chance."

He carefully wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and said, "I want to make sure that he won't appear on the Huanyu Board of Directors next week."

With a slap, Yan Xiaonan raised her hand and gave him a loud slap in the face. Afterwards, she became even more angry, and sneered, "I should have known that you wanted this tape for this. I'm so stupid, Luo Xin even more Stupid, she actually believed you, you and Meng Junshan are basically the same kind of person, despicable and dirty."

Zheng Kaiwen said lightly: "I also hate myself very much. I always say this is the last time, but I have been using her all the time. If she knows, she will hate me too, right?"

Yan Xiaonan had already turned around and walked out of the conference room, the image behind her was a blazing fire.

It was already twelve o'clock in the evening when Meng Junshan returned home. Su Xiaoquan waited for a long time in the living room. When he saw the old man coming in, he immediately went up to him and said, "Third Master, you are finally back."

Meng Junshan asked vigilantly: "What happened? Why didn't the board meeting see Zeshan in the afternoon?"

After hesitating for a moment, he still told the story from beginning to end today.After Meng Junshan heard this, he lifted Su Xiaoquan's collar. Su Xiaoquan closed his eyes silently, and said in a low voice, "I know that I didn't do it cleanly enough. I shouldn't have let him live. It was my fault." wrong."

Meng Junshan gritted his teeth and said, "Jiang Yang is more benevolent than you. Fortunately, that woman is dead, otherwise it would be even more troublesome now. That Zheng Kaiwen survived, but let him make this move." He growled: "Didn't I say never let them meet alone! Are you all dead? There are so many people around him that he can't guard against one person."

"it's my mistake."

Meng Junshan pushed Su Xiaoquan away, took off his coat and said, "Where are the others?"

"Shut yourself in the room all the time."

"I'll go take a look." Meng Junshan threw down his coat and went straight to the study on the second floor.

The light in the study was not turned on. He sat on the swivel chair behind the desk and lighted a cigarette leisurely.

The smoke fluttered leisurely in the light and fog of the city, and finally dissipated.

Meng Junshan took two steps forward, but he didn't seem to notice, Meng Junshan raised his hand to make Su Xiaoquan retreat.

Meng Junshan walked to the desk, where there was an ultrasound photo.He picked up the photo, then put it down again, and suddenly crumpled it up and threw it into the trash can.The uncle and nephew did not speak, the cigarette loomed in the darkness, and after a long time, it finally burned to the end.

"Zeshan..."

"Should I be called Meng Jiangyang?" He said leisurely, put out the cigarette in the ashtray, and then lit another one. "Someone called me that today."

Meng Junshan didn't deny it, but suddenly punched the table, and the crystal ashtray also trembled.

"You used to be called Meng Jiangyang. But that was a long time ago. Now you are Du Zeshan, and that Meng Jiangyang is dead!"

"Uncle, do you know Luo Xin?" He let out a breath, and slowly frowned: "I saw her today, and I don't know why, she was clearly smiling, but my heart ached when I saw her .” The snow-white smoke floated in the air: “She must be a very good girl, very good... must be very kind, must have been very happy, otherwise she would not be so beautiful when she smiles, and it makes people feel distressed ..."

He swallowed silently, as if he was swallowing the pain of memories, and his Adam's apple slipped leisurely on his neck.

But no, he shouldn't have memories, he's not one with memories.

"Idiot." Meng Junshan threw his hands on the table angrily, and he roared: "This is Zheng Kaiwen's plan. He said such stupid things to hurt you and prevent you from continuing to acquire Huanyu. You actually believe him What's the matter with you? How much painstaking effort did I put into cultivating you!"

"I know." He turned to look at Meng Junshan, as casually as if speaking to a stranger: "But I believe what Zheng Kaiwen said. She must love me very much, and she is pregnant with my child, and you But killed her, killed the child. Because I know, you are my uncle, you will do this." He paused, and then said: "Do it for me."

Meng Junshan took a deep breath. For the first time, he also felt the chill of fear. He opened his eyes wide and looked at the person in front of him.

That still young face was looming in the darkness, but the anger came out. He looked at Meng Junshan and said word by word: "Zheng Kaiwen is despicable, but you are cruel." He smashed the cigarette in the ashtray The cigarette butt, with such force, tore through the paper and even the shreds of tobacco came out.

"You blame me?" he exclaimed.

"You are my uncle, the only relative in this world, and you have saved me time and time again. I know that everything you do is for my own good. I won't blame you."

He turned his chair and walked slowly to the door of the study.

The light in the corridor illuminated his face, leaving only a dark figure at the door of the study.

His voice was hidden in the darkness: "But, I hate you."

He walked into the corridor, and at some point, a line of tears rolled down his cheeks and landed on the carpet, turning a rose on the carpet red, so red, it was almost as red as blood.
