On the sixth floor of the Gothic Building in the city center, outside the "business consultant" office, a bespectacled man rushed into the office without knocking.
Xiao Liu, who had just sat down, quickly stood up when he saw him come in and said respectfully, "Brother Chen, what can I do for you that you have to come all this way in person?"
Shen Qingshan approached Xiao Liu, his smile not reaching his eyes: "The boss is looking for you, you'd better go quickly."
Shen Qingshan is Hu Tianhao's confidant and rarely appears in the group. This time, his personal visit to see Xiao Liu must be for something important!
Xiao Liu was a little flustered and wanted to find out what was going on first.
"Do you know what it is?" Xiao Liu asked in a low voice, leaning closer to Shen Qingshan with the utmost fawning.
Shen Qingshan shook his head with a laugh: "You might be in trouble, hahaha..."
Xiao Liu's expression changed, and without paying attention to Shen Qingshan, he hurriedly went to the top floor.
This was his second time meeting Hu Tianhao, and he was so nervous that he was trembling all over, because the first time he met Hu Tianhao was in his previous life...
Even now, he often dreams of that night, waiting hopefully for someone at the base exit, every inch of his skin frozen stiff...
Instead of a girlfriend, he met Hu Tianhao.
Even going to the execution ground couldn't compare to the despair of that night; the despair that followed high hopes was even more agonizing.
This is the first time Xiao Liu has faced Hu Tianhao since his rebirth. Xiao Liu's ultimate goal is to eliminate him at the crucial moment and take control of the Frost Society.
How can one hide such intense hatred?
"Being a dog that's humbled to the extreme, is that alright?"
As Xiao Liu ascended in the elevator, he took a few deep breaths, slowly wiped the sweat from his face, adjusted his fawning expression in front of the mirror, and calmly stepped out of the elevator.
Hu Tianhao's office is on the top floor. He is a low-key person, and unless you are a close confidant, it is difficult for ordinary people to have the opportunity to meet him.
Xiao Liu swallowed hard, and with trembling hands knocked on the door...
"Come in."
Xiao Liu walked in with his head down. It was an office with a very antique charm, more like a study, with the desks and chairs arranged in a classic Chinese style.
Hu Tianhao did not sit at his desk, but instead greeted Xiao Liu in the tea room on the side. He sat in the host's seat and casually invited Xiao Liu to sit down.
This scene resembles a senior mentoring a junior, but in reality, anyone who has worked in the corporate world knows that the most terrifying boss is one who doesn't show any emotion.
Xiao Liu guessed that was true. This was the first time he had been so close to Hu Tianhao, and the way Hu Tianhao was behaving was completely different from what he had previously known.
After Xiao Liu sat down, Hu Tianhao didn't say anything, he just kept making tea and his eyes never lingered on Xiao Liu.
An eerie silence fell, broken only by the clinking of teacups and the pounding of a heart. Looking at that face, Xiao Liu felt her composure crumble...
Hu Tianhao chuckled and poured Xiao Liu a cup of tea:
"You must be Liu Jianxin, our group's newly appointed advisor?"
"yes."
Xiao Liu steadied his trembling hands, picked up the teacup, and took a small sip.
How's this tea?
"It tastes good, but I don't know much about tea."
The smile on Hu Tianhao's face faded, and he said unhurriedly, "Hehehe... Is that so? But you're quite good at recruiting soldiers, aren't you?"
Xiao Liu was so shocked that his heart stopped for two seconds. His worst fears came true: Hu Tianhao suspected him of having ulterior motives.
He quickly put down his teacup and said solemnly, "I did all this for you!"
"Oh?" Hu Tianhao didn't look at Xiao Liu, but just lowered his head and took a sip of tea.
"President Hu, this snowfall is not just a simple weather anomaly; it's a natural disaster. Before long, the temperature will drop to minus 100 degrees Celsius. To cope with this disaster, we must prepare in advance."
Hu Tianhao remained silent, but stared into Xiao Liu's eyes.
"President Hu, everything I've done is for the company's benefit. You must believe me!"
Hu Tianhao's eyes narrowed, and a smile returned to his face: "In that case, how do you plan to help me?"
Xiao Liu took out a key and placed it on the table: "Mr. Hu, the supplies I recently purchased are all stored in the warehouse on the basement floor. Here is the key. Also, here are the people I recruited; they are all at your service."
Hu Tianhao seemed very interested and put down his teacup: "So, you've been helping me prepare these past few days?"
"Yes, you will be able to use these supplies and personnel very soon."
Hu Tianhao looked at Xiao Liu in front of him again: "So, what will happen next?"
"The mob will start looting soon, but your men will wipe them out, and the mob will submit to you."
Hu Tianhao flew into a rage, shattering the teacup in his hand in two: "How did you know I had men under my command!"
“I can foresee the future, Mr. Hu, you can trust me completely.”
Hu Tianhao narrowed his eyes slightly, his ambiguous smile quite chilling: "Alright. But if the future doesn't turn out as you predicted, I'll have to give you a good 'interrogation'."
...
Meanwhile, Chu Xiang was following the group in the supermarket. He didn't get a chance to say a word to them until they left. He only overheard their leader calling him "Brother Liu".
Is this "Brother Liu" the big boss behind the scenes?
Although Chu Xiang didn't buy much food on this trip, he felt incredibly relieved and even hoped that the blizzard would come even more violently.
He had already seen the collapse of the order, and he believed that if things continued to develop, the debt problem would be solved.
No matter what the future holds, the supplies we managed to snag today are enough to last us for several days.
Chu Xiang carried a bag of rice on his shoulder, a box of instant noodles in one hand, and a large bucket of oil and other food in the other, struggling to walk along the road.
The snow is now ankle-deep, making transportation almost impossible. There are many pedestrians on the road, as well as many emergency clearing workers, working hard to shovel snow away from the roads.
