Thord was also quite pleased with himself, as he felt the change in himself, from a poor boy who was ignored by others to a rich man who was admired by others. This feeling made him feel a little elated, and he began to enjoy this treatment that he had never had before.
Thord sat in his home, the light streaming through the window of his room casting a gleam of light on his tired but satisfied face. He had just paid off all his debts and felt a sense of relief from a heavy burden.
He pulled a handful of coins from his pocket, each one gleaming with silver light. He carefully counted them one by one and then gently placed them in the drawer. The drawer seemed to be fuller with the addition of these coins.
He sat there, immersed in a contentment and peace he had never felt before. This feeling was even stronger than when he had more wealth. He felt as if he had regained his direction in life and his dignity.
He recalled his days at the casino, where people looked down on him and thought he couldn't repay his debts. But now, he had proven himself. Not only had he paid off his debts, he had also earned the respect and friendship of those people.
He put the remaining money back into the drawer and sat there, thinking quietly. He understood a truth: money makes the world go round.
…
At dusk, the clouds on the horizon were dyed golden, like a golden ocean. As the sun gradually set, the color of the clouds gradually deepened, from golden to orange, and then from orange to crimson, as if a grand performance was about to end.
At this beautiful moment, the company's employees had all left, leaving the hallway empty. Only Gu Jisui remained seated in the president's office chair. His figure, reflected against the windowpane, appeared solitary and resolute. The dim office lights contrasted sharply with the dusk outside. Gu Jisui's gaze was deep and resolute, as if it could penetrate any fog. His face was resolute, its lines sharp, giving off a sense of calm and resolve.
He was wearing a well-cut black suit that showed off his figure and temperament. His tie was a deep red, echoing the sunset outside the window, giving him a sense of elegance and nobility. His hair was neatly combed into a 3:7 hairstyle, which looked neat and tidy.
Gu Jisui's hands folded on the table, his fingers long and strong, revealing his perseverance and decisiveness. His eyes gazed at the sunset outside the window, as if he was contemplating something important. His face was expressionless, only a look of loneliness and determination.
The office lights were dim. Outside the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, the night sky was as dark as ink, dotted with stars. The sunset glow outside the window had gradually faded, leaving behind only the depth and silence of the sky. Occasionally, a few planes streaked across the sky, leaving behind dreamy white trails.
Just as the night was gradually covering the earth, assistant Xiao Li knocked gently on the door.
"Come in." Gu Jisui's voice came from the office, low and powerful, as if every word was carefully considered.
Xiao Li pushed open the door and walked into the office. He was holding a document, his steps light and his eyes determined. He gently placed the document on Gu Jisui's desk, then silently stepped back and stood two meters away from the desk.
Gu Jisui raised his head and looked at Xiao Li. His eyes were deep and bright, as if he could see through everything. Then, he turned his gaze to the documents, his brows slightly furrowed, his eyes focused.
The document was filled with detailed data and charts, each page densely packed. Gu Jisui's fingers tapped lightly on the table, a quick and powerful rhythm, as if playing a tense piece of music. His brow was furrowed, his eyes revealing an indescribable tension and anticipation.
"What news?" Gu Jisui's voice was a little hoarse, as if he had not spoken for a long time.
"The report from the marketing department shows that Xu Zhixu's company's products have been blocked. If nothing unexpected happens, we will hear the good news in a few days that he will be forced to sell the company." Xiao Li's voice was clear and firm.
Gu Jisui was silent for a moment, then raised his head and looked into Xiao Li's eyes. His eyes revealed a complex emotion, both relieved and expectant.
"Very good, your contribution is indispensable. I will give you a raise after the task is completed." Gu Jisui's voice was low and powerful.
"Thank you, Boss!" Xiao Li was very grateful. His face was filled with a smile of joy and confidence.
The office was filled with a tense and anticipatory atmosphere. As the night deepened, Gu Jisui and Xiao Li's conversation deepened. Their eyes met, as if conveying some kind of message.
The assistant stood in front of the desk, holding a report in both hands, looking at Gu Jisui with a firm gaze. Gu Jisui sat behind the desk, tapping his fingers on the surface, his brow furrowed, his eyes revealing determination and resolve.
The office was completely silent, with only the sound of Gu Jisui's fingers tapping on the desk. The assistant felt a heavy pressure, as he knew the importance and urgency of this mission.
"Mr. Gu, this is the clue provided by Sode." The assistant handed the information report to Gu Jisui.
Gu Jisui took the information and flipped through it quickly. His eyes revealed a sharp light, as if he wanted to see through all the clues.
"Very good, these clues are very valuable." Gu Jisui nodded, his brows relaxed slightly.
"By the way, there's one more thing." The assistant continued, "According to your instructions, we have sorted out all the clues provided by Thord."
Gu Jisui looked down at the documents again, his fingers tapping on the table faster and more intensely. His brows were furrowed, and his eyes revealed a determination and firmness.
"The most important thing for us now is to know which country Bai Lan is in. We must find her." Gu Jisui said gritting his teeth.
The assistant nodded. He knew the importance of this mission. He looked at Gu Jisui and felt a strong determination and belief.
"Yes, we can't let Bai Lan continue to go unpunished. We must never show any leniency to such criminals who have escaped." The assistant said indignantly.
Gu Jisui raised his head and looked at his assistant, his eyes revealing a kind of trust and appreciation. He nodded and motioned for his assistant to continue.
"Mr. Gu, we have found Sode's computer." The assistant took out a small box and handed it to Gu Jisui.
Gu Jisui took the box, opened it, and saw Soder's computer. He quickly browsed through the files and information on the computer, his brows furrowed, and his eyes revealed a look of confusion and surprise.
"The information in this computer is very comprehensive, but some of it is encrypted," the assistant said. "We need to find a way to decrypt it."
