Gu Sheng transmigrated and was bound to a glitchy system. The system seemed to be broken, impossible to contact, yet its functions ran normally. Periodically, the system would give Gu Sheng a new i...
Chapter 51 Generally speaking, when we talk about the headquarters of the Development Bank in City A…
When people talk about the headquarters of the Development Bank of City A, the first thing that comes to mind is the famous building in City A, the Wings of the Sky.
It was a skyscraper designed with wings in mind, and it was very beautiful.
After its completion, the building immediately became a famous tourist attraction in City A, and almost everyone who came to City A would go there to take a photo.
However, to be precise, the headquarters of the Development Bank of City A is a large industrial park. The Sky Wings is located on the outer perimeter of the park. This building is open to the public at fixed times and is a public image project for the bank.
After saying goodbye to Shen An, Gu Sheng returned to his residence and began searching for information about the building online.
Shen An said that one should not act impulsively, but Gu Sheng did not have that idea because of impulsiveness.
He also gave it a lot of thought.
Moreover, after Gu Sheng learned that a mysterious person had visited the bank after the C City incident, his idea of causing trouble became even more solidified.
Anyway, he was the one who handled things in City C, so he wouldn't feel any pressure doing anything to cause trouble for the banks.
Gu Sheng found out the building's open days.
Two days later, he stood in front of the building wearing a sun hat and a mask.
City A is not a tourist city, and there aren't many tourists.
Gu Sheng took a photo with the building, just like the other tourists around him, and then followed the few other tourists inside.
There is a ticket booth in the corner of the lobby. If you buy a ticket here, you can take a private elevator directly to the top floor.
There is an observation deck and a restaurant on the top floor.
Stepping out of the elevator, the first thing Gu Sheng saw was a huge damper.
It is this damper that allows the building to stand firm during typhoons.
Gu Sheng lingered in front of this enormous object for a long time before leaving.
He then toured the entire rooftop like any other tourist.
Gu Sheng arrived very early, so it was noon by the time he got off the elevator.
Gu Sheng adjusted his hat and walked towards the door.
Before he could even reach the door, a group of men in black suddenly burst in.
The men in black lined up in two rows, forming a path that isolated them from the people around them.
Then, a man dressed in white walked in, ignoring the probing gazes of those around him, and headed straight into the depths of the building.
As they walked, the man in white seemed to sense something. He suddenly stopped and turned to look at Gu Sheng.
Gu Shengzhen hoped this was just his imagination, but unfortunately, it wasn't.
The man suddenly turned and walked towards Gu Sheng. The men in black quickly changed formation and opened a new path.
Gu Sheng watched silently as the man walked up to her.
The man sized up Gu Sheng and said in a sharp tone, "Who told you to come back?"
This tone made Gu Sheng very uncomfortable.
What's more complicated is that he doesn't know this person, but the other person knows him.
The person who would appear here and know Gu Sheng must be from the bank. Judging from the entourage, the person must be of high status.
This is even more troublesome.
When faced with strangers who know him, Gu Sheng usually chooses to remain silent. However, as a bank executive, Gu Sheng is clearly not the type to remain silent in the face of such provocation.
Fortunately, Gu Sheng didn't worry about it for long. The moment the man finished speaking, Gu Sheng blurted out, "How come you're still alive?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Sheng panicked. Was this something he could say? Of course, he didn't show it.
On the surface, he simply looked at the man coldly, as if he were just offering a casual greeting.
The man wasn't angry; he just chuckled and said, "I saw Gu Hecheng, as the president of the Gu Group, give a speech yesterday. What, even you have moments when you can't bring yourself to do it?"
Gu Sheng knew he was referring to the task Cheng Ruhui had given him.
Gu Sheng replied, "I'm not in a hurry. I have plenty of time, unlike you. You should just get through this year first."
The man's face instantly turned pale: "You..." Before he could finish speaking, his body suddenly swayed, and he involuntarily took two steps back.
The men in black following behind him immediately stepped forward to support him, one taking out a bag of medicine and the other taking out water.
With the help of the man in black, the man took the medicine, felt a little better, and then shook off the hand that was supporting him.
Gu Sheng watched the whole thing silently.
He spoke those words on instinct. He originally thought they were just meant to annoy the other person, but now it seems they were true; the person in front of him didn't seem to be in good health.
The man looked coldly at Gu Sheng and said, "You really think I wouldn't dare to touch you?"
Gu Sheng looked at the man and suddenly smiled: "How do you plan to do something to me? Kill me?" His voice was very soft, as if he were saying that the weather was nice today.
Upon hearing this, the man's body visibly tensed up, and he unconsciously leaned back slightly.
A man in black stepped forward and stood between the two.
Gu Sheng looked at the man in black in front of him and raised an eyebrow.
Although Gu Sheng is an executive officer, not many people in the bank know him, and even fewer have actually met him.
The reason is simple: after he became the executive officer, he became lazy and neglected his duties. All activities that required the executive officer's presence were handled by Xiao Yi.
Before becoming an executive officer, he was mostly low-key. Some people described Gu Sheng as a snake lurking in the shadows, only striking when he was absolutely certain of success, and then killing with a single blow.
Those who are targeted by "Gu Sheng" all meet tragic ends.
This also made the bank's senior management very reluctant to talk about Gu Sheng, and they rarely mentioned him in front of others.
When the man saw the man in black blocking his way, he yelled, "Go back! Who told you to stand here?"
The man in black hesitated, his instincts telling him that Gu Sheng was dangerous. He glanced at his boss, but the man behind him looked past him and straight at Gu Sheng.
The man in black dared not disobey his boss and could only return to his original position. However, his gaze remained fixed on Gu Sheng, and he looked at Gu Sheng with a cautious expression.
The man looked at Gu Sheng and sneered, "Hmph, don't think you can do whatever you want just because you have the bank manager backing you up..."
Before the man could finish speaking, Gu Sheng interrupted him: "Bank manager? Backing you up?" He sounded like he'd heard a joke.
The man quieted down, and the look in Gu Sheng's eyes sent chills down his spine.
Gu Sheng coldly sized up the man.
The man's words convinced Gu Sheng that this person's position in the bank was probably not high.
It wasn't as high as he had imagined.
This man didn't even know the nature of his relationship with Cheng Ruhui.
According to the information Gu Sheng received from Xiao Yi, he didn't need the bank president to back him up at all.
Gu Sheng used to think he was the bank manager's confidant, but now he knows he's not a confidant at all; he's clearly a major threat.
Cheng Ruhui is backing him up? He and Cheng Ruhui are considered to be getting along peacefully if they don't stab each other in the back a few times.
Seeing that Gu Sheng didn't speak, the man looked at Gu Sheng's clothes and suddenly said, "The executive officer is sneaking back to headquarters. You didn't sneak back without telling the bank manager, did you?"
Gu Sheng did feel a little guilty about this, but not because he hadn't told Cheng Ruhui. It was because he was here to survey the site. He planned to carry out a demolition project worth tens of billions of yuan on this building, and incidentally cause some trouble for the bank.
Of course, Gu Sheng couldn't say these things, and couldn't even reveal the slightest flaw.
Fortunately, the man didn't reply to Gu Sheng. He took out his phone and sent a message to someone, then said to Gu Sheng, "Abandoning your post is the worst thing for a bank manager. He hates disobedient people the most."
Gu Sheng looked at the man in front of him as if he were a fool. He wanted to ask the man why he was so confident that Cheng Ruhui could control him.
Moreover, Gu Sheng now strongly suspects that the man got in through back door, otherwise it is impossible to explain why such a stupid person could survive until now and still have such a big entourage.
The man stopped talking and didn't leave. Instead, he stood to the side with his arms crossed, seemingly wanting to see Gu Sheng make a fool of himself.
However, he was destined to be disappointed.
Just as Gu Sheng was getting bored and wanted to leave, a middle-aged man walked over.
The middle-aged man's gaze swept over Gu Sheng, then turned to the men in black.
The men in black immediately scattered, asking all the tourists and staff in the hall to leave, and then locked the door.
Upon seeing the middle-aged man, the man immediately went to greet him: "Brother-in-law, what brings you here?"
The middle-aged man looked at the man, then at Gu Sheng, seemingly understanding what had happened. He coldly stared at the man and said, "Who gave you permission to come to headquarters? Is this a place you can just show up at?"
The man's eyes widened, seemingly surprised that the middle-aged man would speak to him in such a tone: "Brother-in-law," he glared at Gu Sheng resentfully, "if someone like this can come, why can't I?"
He looked at the middle-aged man: "I'm here to see you. You promised to transfer me to headquarters, but it's been so long and I still haven't received the transfer order."
The middle-aged man completely ignored the man's last sentence. He frowned slightly and said, "Gu Sheng is an executive officer, so of course he can come. Besides, how many times have I told you not to talk to people like that? Have you ignored me?"
Seeing that the middle-aged man seemed genuinely angry, the man meekly shut his mouth.
But he quickly muttered, "What executive officer? He's just a puppet. Xiao Yi does all the work. Without Xiao Yi, what is he?"
The man's voice wasn't quiet, and the middle-aged man closest to him heard him clearly. Veins bulged on his forehead, he took a deep breath, and then said to the man in black, "Send Zhou Ye back, immediately."
The man named Zhou Ye immediately protested: "I'm not going back! Why are you kicking me out? The transfer order hasn't been explained yet. Let me go, and don't lift me up..."
Before he could finish speaking, he started coughing violently. The man in black carried him out while feeding him medicine.
Before leaving the hall, Zhou Ye was still glaring fiercely at Gu Sheng.
Once Zhou Ye's voice had completely disappeared, the middle-aged man walked up to Gu Sheng with a smile: "The bank manager knew you were coming back and immediately sent me to pick you up. He's in a meeting right now, and he asked me to invite you to come with him."
Gu Sheng looked in the direction Zhou Ye had left and said, "How come your brother-in-law is still alive? He's so sick, he should have died sooner rather than later."
As he spoke, he looked at the middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man paused for a moment, then said with an expression that completely disregarded Gu Sheng's words, "Zhou Ye has nothing else to offer but a tough life. Despite being riddled with illnesses, he has lived longer than anyone else."
