Chapter 261 The Last Facebook Night!
"Hello, is Teacher Xiao Momo at home?" Lian Zheng dialed Xiao Wanli's number.
Xiao Wanli was startled: "Is it Mayor Lian?"
Because he had called this number before.
"It's me." Lian Zheng said, "Lian Yi is going abroad tomorrow. Before she leaves, she wants to meet with Teacher Xiao. Is it convenient?"
Xiao Wanli fell into silence. For a long time, Xiao Wanli had admired Lian Zheng. People who have been in the officialdom for a long time, even if they are very upright and honest, will have an admiration for power. Lian Zheng's rank is much higher than Xiao Wanli, and he can do things and keep his reputation, which Xiao Wanli has never been able to do. Therefore, even though Lian Zheng is a few years younger than him, it does not hinder Xiao Wanli's admiration.
But now...it seems like everything has changed.
"Momo is not at home. She went out with her mother. They must have gone for a walk." Xiao Wanli said.
Lian Zheng: "Okay, I understand."
Xiao Wanli couldn't help himself after all: "Mayor Lian, has this incident had a big impact on you?"
Because of this wave, two of Lian Zheng's subordinates have been subdued, one of whom is the second in command of Linshan County, Secretary Li who was once under Lian Zheng's command.
The other one was Ke Cheng’s subordinate, who also went in.
So struggle is like this, as long as you raise a knife, there will be more or less blood. As long as you are stabbed, you will be injured more or less.
So Shu Wan has been feeling indignant. Why are her husband and daughter the ones who got hurt?
Although it brought Lin Xiao a brilliant victory, but...
Lian Zheng: "It has some influence, but at our age, we have already let it go."
This answer made Xiao Wanli slightly stunned.
He regretted asking this question as soon as he asked it. He thought Lian Zheng would give a cliché answer like "it has no impact" and "you should trust the organization" etc.
But even the correct words reveal sincerity.
Xiao Wanli said indignantly: "They actually came to investigate me, I will let them investigate, it would be better if they investigate me thoroughly."
Lian Zheng: "I know Brother Xiao's character very well."
Xiao Wanli: "I had originally planned to resign or take a sick leave to do what I want to do, but now after this investigation, I will not resign."
Before, Xiao Wanli had decided to take charge of the charity foundation that Lin Xiao had set up for Bubble, because he was indeed the most suitable person and could also avoid the gossips in the unit, which was a thankless job.
However, it takes a long time to process sick leave, and before it even gets to that stage, the truth is revealed.
So, Xiao Wanli's steps came to an abrupt halt.
Lian Zheng has this kind of charm that can make people feel very trusting. Even though Xiao Wanli had not talked to him many times before, he couldn't help but express his emotions in front of him.
Moreover, there were some things that Xiao Wanli didn't dare to say at home or in front of Xiao Momo, as if saying them would be like a complaint.
Don’t think that Xiao Wanli and Li Fangfang said some harsh words to Lin Xiao when they were in Shanghai.
But when I got home, I really didn't talk about it.
My daughter's happiness is the most important thing.
Besides, there is already a baby in Bubble's belly.
If you have good expectations in your heart, it will be difficult for you to say bad things.
So when Xiao Wanli was implicated and investigated, the whole family endured it silently.
Xiao Wanli couldn't find anyone to talk to, and Lian Zheng happened to call him, so he couldn't help it.
Even if it is not appropriate, after all, it is a bit too intimate, not to mention that the relationship between the two people is very awkward.
Lian Zheng listened gently, and then expressed his attitude very vaguely.
Lian Yi is going abroad and won't be back for several years. The meaning is self-evident.
The two talked for more than ten minutes.
Xiao Wanli: "Then I'll tell Momo after she gets home, or should I... call her now?"
"No thanks, Uncle Xiao..." Lian Yi next to her took over the conversation.
Although Xiao Wanli didn't say anything, she was able to keenly sense Xiao Momo's fragility and pain.
Lian Yi is a relatively strong person. She has been through such a hard time during this period, let alone Xiao Momo? After hanging up the phone, Lian Yi said to her parents, "Let's go to Linshan No. 1 Middle School."
When he arrived at the gate of Linshan No. 1 Middle School, Lian Zheng greeted the guard very politely.
Linshan No. 1 Middle School, as a provincial key school, is basically a closed school.
"Ding-ling-ling..." the bell rang.
The whole school suddenly became noisy, and then the school gate opened.
Today happens to be Friday, and there are no schools tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, so many students who live on campus and are not too far from home will take the opportunity to go home.
Crowds of people poured out of the school gate, ranging from first to third year high school students, with young faces everywhere.
Shu Wan was about to accompany her daughter into the school, but was stopped by her husband Lian Zheng.
"Little Water Drop, shall we wait for you outside the school gate?" Lian Zheng asked.
Lian Yi: "Okay."
Then, she entered the campus alone, walking against the flow with a large group of students, and many people looked at her sideways.
Almost all the students around her couldn't help but look at her. She was already the campus belle when she was in high school, and she has become even more beautiful in the past few years.
Especially the temperament, which is particularly outstanding.
Lian Yi was strolling with an empty mind, but involuntarily returned to her original class.
What a coincidence! The head teacher of this class is still Li Mingchao, and he is also teaching the graduating class.
It was still the same as before. Even though school had been over for a long time, Li Mingchao would still stay in class for a long time.
And now he is the school's dean of studies. The previous dean of studies, Wang Tiangui, has become the principal.
For a long time, Li Mingchao had to talk about Lin Xiao in class, and the students' ears were so tired of hearing it.
But in recent months, he has barely spoken.
Of course, it's not a matter of touching the high and stepping on the low, nor do they feel there is a risk, but they feel that Lin Xiao is at the center of the storm at the moment, and there is no need to add fuel to the fire.
He was shocked when he saw Lin Xiao and Xiao Momo's relationship before, but he never mentioned it to anyone.
But this time…after he saw the news online, he immediately knew that the rumor was not a rumor.
Even more horrified.
Lin Xiao, Lin Xiao! You have won the two most beautiful girls from Linshan No. 1 Middle School. You are really taking a huge risk.
What should I do next? As a teacher, I am worried about you.
At this moment, Li Mingchao turned around and immediately caught a glimpse of Lian Yi, and couldn't help but be slightly surprised.
Then he immediately put away his surprise, as if he had not eaten any melon and knew nothing.
Then he nodded slightly.
Lian Yi also nodded and greeted, then waved and turned away.
She seemed to lack the courage to have a lively conversation with her old friends.
Then I circled the school almost twice.
The entire campus was about a hundred acres. She walked very slowly and it took her more than an hour until night fell.
Then she walked out of the school, got in the car, and drove away slowly.
When the car drove out a few dozen meters, under the dim light outside, she accidentally saw two figures.
One of them was so familiar.
It was Xiao Momo! Her mother, Li Fangfang, was taking a walk with her, but perhaps because she was afraid of what people said, or because she had too many acquaintances at Linshan No. 1 Middle School, she didn't go out to relax on campus until it was dark.
This... was actually the first time Lian Yi saw Xiao Momo again after almost four years.
Although I can't see clearly.
But at a glance, I still feel that Teacher Xiao is still so charming.
Even a scene emerged in my mind.
At that time, he and Lin Xiao were walking under the street lights. When they passed by Xiao Momo's house, she happily went up and down the stairs, took out the castle, and wanted to return it to its original owner.
So...
Lian Yi really took the princess castle home.
At that time, although Xiao Momo was a teacher, she was still trying to bring Lin Xiao and Lian Yi together.
So until now, Lian Yi still doesn’t know how and when the relationship between Lin Xiao and Xiao Momo happened.
She didn't ask, and Lin Xiao didn't say.
This time she wanted to meet Xiao Momo, largely because she wanted to get to the bottom of things.
But now it seems that it is no longer necessary.
We can probably guess something from Xiao Momo's post alone.
When Xiao Momo was in mortal danger, Lin Xiao, who was still very thin at the time, stared at the sharp blades of the three gangsters and stepped forward.
Lian Yi leaned on the car window and looked for more than ten seconds, then turned around.
Maybe it's fine like this, just take a look.
Even if we really meet, I might not be able to say a word.
The next day...
Lian Yi departed from Xiaoshan Airport, left China and flew to the United States.
Lian Zheng instinctively wanted to send a text message to Lin Xiao, but eventually deleted the message.
In fact, Xia Xi knew, Li Shuang knew, and even Lin Xiao knew Lian Yi's specific flight number.
However, several people did nothing.
…………………………
On the evening of May 30th.
The third Facebook Night has officially begun! It is truly the event that everyone is looking forward to.
Actually, the lineup of this year's Facebook Night is not as good as the previous one, after all, the last one had global superstars.
But this time, no international superstars were invited.
even……
The organizers did not take the initiative to invite these stars. Instead, many big stars and directors contacted Lightning Entertainment and asked to participate.
So this time the red carpet was particularly star-studded.
There are hundreds of relatively well-known ones.
After these stars had left, the last to appear were a group of bigwigs.
The two bosses of Alibaba, Yang Zhiyuan of Yahoo Group, Masayoshi Son of Softbank Group, Amy of Sony Columbia, Tom of Sony Classics, Lee Mikyung of CJ Entertainment, Tim Sweeney of EPIC, Hideo Kojima of KONAMI and so on.
Ding Yuanzhi’s senior sister finally returned to the team.
There was no need to play the trick of three years followed by another three years, and it would not arouse any suspicion. After all, the Renren Games team was divided at the time, and a small number of people joined the Lightning Games camp.
I don't know why, but once she arrived at Lightning Games, she became the flower of programmers.
Damn, she has never enjoyed this treatment before.
Of course, in the Lightning Game you have a super beautiful girl, the campus belle, the top beauty in the philosophy department who suffers from depression.
However, she belongs to the Lightning Academy of Arts, but sometimes she needs to serve Lightning Games.
At first glance, the entire Lightning game is full of otakus.
Ding Yuanzhi is a bright spot among the green.
She has received unprecedented attention. There are twenty spots for the Lightning Game at this Facebook Night. Except for the senior executives who need to appear, the rest are decided by voting.
Ding Yuanzhi, the highest number of votes.
She, who had always dressed like a boy before, wore a skirt and high heels for the first time.
She regretted it almost as soon as she walked ten meters.
Wearing a skirt makes me feel uncomfortable.
In her high heels, she felt like a clown.
But...it was really just what she felt.
She actually looks good in the skirt because she is very white and has big eyes.
Being androgynous doesn’t necessarily mean it’s ugly.
Finally, she felt more and more awkward and she felt like she could hardly walk. Her foot twisted and she fell to the ground.
Suddenly... she almost wished the ground would crack open so she could crawl in.
At this time, a figure came forward and carefully helped her up.
In his panic, Ding Yuanzhi finally saw the person clearly. He seemed a little familiar, but he couldn't remember who he was.
"Li Zhongtian, from Tongji University, works on Facebook's advertising model."
"Sister Ding, your heel is broken. I'll go find you a pair of shoes."
Ding Yuanzhi: "No, I won't wear it anymore."
She took off her other high-heeled shoe and did not throw it away. Instead, she twisted it in her hand and walked barefoot.
"Do you know me?" Ding Yuanzhi asked puzzledly.
Li Zhongtian: "Several years ago, you were in the Aurora University Game Club, and I went there with Lin Xiao."
Ding Yuanzhi tried hard to recall, but found that he couldn't remember.
Her skirt was a little long, so she twisted her broken high heels with her left hand and held up her skirt with her right hand.
Li Zhongtian originally wanted to help her carry the broken high heels, but he found that she was in a good state and very relaxed, so he did not interfere and just walked quietly by the side.
Now the local dog has finally grown up and learned a skill.
Gain insight into other people’s emotions.
Understand the inner needs of others at this moment.
At this moment, Ding Yuanzhi seemed to have found his most comfortable, free and easy and blooming attitude. So don't be too attentive, and don't try to destroy it. Just appreciate it quietly.
So, Lin Xiao was right, Senior Sister Zhang Yin is indeed a very good school.
…………………………
Wu Lingxi was putting on makeup backstage. Before she put on lipstick, her assistant was feeding her something.
It was one of those very small burgers with pretty good beef and some veal.
She has a big mouth and she talks one thing after another.
I ate five in one go.
After eating, I started cleaning my teeth and putting on dental stickers.
"Stop drawing. I'm anxious about my appearance." Xia Xi walked in and couldn't help but ask, "And you're wearing this outfit, are you going for a sexy look?"
This is a black and white dress with a very bold style that fully shows off the curves.
Most people can't really hold on to this dress.
Sexy, outstanding and full of personality.
Xia Xi was wearing jeans and a silk shirt.
"In Lightning Group, I was undoubtedly the most beautiful person, and you came in and took my first place away." Xia Xi: "My jeans were originally loose, but I changed them to tight ones just to show off my waist and hip curves."
"You actually forced me to compete. If I had known, I wouldn't have let you come."
After hearing what Xia Xi said, Li Shuang next to her was unhappy: "What do you mean? Am I not a threat to you?"
Xia Xi: "My dear, you are the sexiest, the most charming, and you have the biggest butt."
Wu Lingxi looked at her makeup carefully in the mirror.
She and Xia Xi are somewhat different. Xia Xi doesn't care about her appearance, but she does.
so……
The appearance ceiling is difficult to break through so far.
"I don't know why, but I suddenly thought of that dinner party a few months ago." Xia Xi suddenly said, "This moment is just like that moment."
Suddenly, Wu Lingxi gave her a fierce look in the mirror.
Because there will also be a grand signing ceremony tonight.
But that night, Wu Lingxi stabbed Liao Feng in the back, making him experience the most humiliating moment of his life.
Wu Lingxi: "If you have the guts, stab Lin Xiao in the back."
Xia Xi: "We two sisters are born to be rebellious!"
Although the two were joking, Xia Xi blinked her eyes to hide her tears.
…………………………
At 7pm, the third Facebook Night officially began! Shanghai TV broadcast the entire event, and YouTube also used less mature technology to broadcast it online.
Truly the center of attention.
The first project is the four-party signing ceremony.
SoftBank Group, Yahoo Group, Alibaba Group, and Lightning Group.
Four bosses signed a strategic agreement.
This scene did look familiar, but at that time all the investments had not been signed yet, but Liao Feng couldn't wait to hold the signing ceremony.
This time, the investment contracts of several parties have been completely signed.
The four parties intertwined with each other, and the total investment amount reached nearly 2 billion US dollars.
Countless cameras and video cameras recorded this moment.
Inside the detention center, Liao Feng watched this scene and couldn't help but shed tears.
He was so close to success at that time, and he only asked for 300 million US dollars, but now all the glory belongs to Lin Xiao.
Besides, this strategic cooperation is many times bigger.
Masayoshi Son not only invested in Lightning Entertainment and Facebook, he also invested in the brand new animation studio again.
Liao Feng knew it clearly.
This was a strategic cooperation involving real money and real real money, and from then on a gigantic interest group was born.
From now on, Lin Xiao can really call the wind and rain.
Just look at the stars present today and you will know that this group of people are the most snobbish and the most sensitive.
Last year, Lightning Group sent these people invitations, but they refused to come, all making excuses. But this year, even without receiving an invitation, they took the initiative to ask to participate, not only for free, but also scrambled to attend.
Next, the second item on the agenda.
"Ms. Wu Lingxi, I believe everyone is very familiar with her."
"I am very honored to invite her to become the CEO of Facebook in the United States and the President of Facebook Overseas!"
Then, Wu Lingxi walked up from the other side of the stage.
Lin Xiao handed the letter of appointment to her personally.
Even though some people had already guessed it, they were still very shocked when they saw this scene.
Oh my god! Wu Lingxi was Facebook’s biggest enemy before, a real mortal enemy.
Now, it has also joined Facebook?
Liao Feng in the detention center almost gritted his teeth until they bled, feeling extremely jealous and resentful.
Why?!
In my Renren Group, you are the president of Renren Global, and at least you still retain a lot of shares in Renren Group.
And if you go to Lin Xiao, won't you have to start from scratch and expand the territory for him? And you can't own so many shares, right?
As a result, you backstabbed me.
On Lin Xiao's side, he was happy with it? After receiving the letter of appointment, Wu Lingxi said, "I have three things to say."
"First, I've fought with you for so many years, and I know all your moves. I feel like I'm a pretty good fighter now."
Wu Lingxi always felt that the person who understood Lin Xiao best was not Xia Xi, but her, Wu Lingxi.
Because as a bitter enemy over the years, she has studied almost every move of Lin Xiao in depth.
So now she is completely hungry and can't wait to go to Facebook overseas to implement her blueprint.
I even have a feeling that even Lin Xiao himself may not be my opponent now.
"The second sentence is, a general is not subject to orders from his sovereign when he is away from home!"
Then, everyone was waiting for Wu Lingxi's third sentence.
As a result, she planned to leave the stage with the appointment letter.
Lin Xiao: "What about the third sentence?"
Wu Lingxi didn't answer him.
This damn woman, she endured humiliation in Renren Group, but when she came to Lightning Group, she became very arrogant.
……………………
Next, Facebook Night is still exciting.
The performances were all of extremely high standard, and the star lineup that took to the stage was simply gorgeous.
And the stage effects are also magnificent.
But everyone felt empty.
That's it? First, second Facebook Night.
Leader Ergou has released some heavyweight works.
Moreover, every Facebook Night is strategic in nature, fully representing the focus of Lightning Group’s deployment for the next year.
Not only that, every time it was completed successfully, this created the miracle of Lightning Group and the miracle of Master Ergou.
And this third Facebook Night, the most anticipated one, is so dull?
At half past nine, the most magnificent performance ended.
Then the lights on the stage fell into darkness.
It was all just like the first Facebook Night.
A faint beam of light shone on Lin Xiao.
The entire stage was lit by a faint light, and Lin Xiao's figure was vague.
Everyone in the audience was suddenly nervous.
What...what is this for? After a commotion, the whole place fell silent.
"In the past few years, many people have regarded me as an idol and a spiritual leader."
“And I seemed to have achieved unprecedented success.”
"Until a while ago, my image was hit and turbulent like never before."
"My morality and my character have been questioned like never before."
"Of course, with the help of the two of them, I quickly redeemed all my reputation and even became even more great."
"Among the many fans of Ergou Jiaozhu, I seem to have become a nearly perfect person."
“Thank you to everyone who has put me on a pedestal.”
………………………………
Then, there was a long silence.
There are many things he didn't say, and couldn't say.
But he said everything.
"Because countless of you have affirmed me and supported me so much!"
"Then if I deny myself, it will become shameless and selfish."
"I can't be so shameless, nor can I be so selfish!"
"A great achievement is not worthy of even the word 'pride'; a great crime is not worthy of even the word 'regret'."
"I have neither great achievements nor great sins. For everything I have done in the past, no matter if it was right or wrong, I have no regrets!"
"In everyone's eyes, I seem to have reached some kind of peak, some high point!"
"But there is no such thing as being lonely at the top, nor is there such a thing as walking on thin ice. What is in front of me is actually a fork in the road."
"The past two months have been the loneliest two months of my life. Not because I'm so lonely being invincible, but because I've hurt a lot of people."
“Hurting people I don’t want to hurt makes me the loneliest.”
"But no matter whether it's right or wrong, I still have no regrets."
"It is better to suffer loneliness for a moment than to suffer desolation for eternity."
“Things should not be too victorious, things should not be too perfect, and people should not be too prosperous. This sentence is very philosophical, but now I am young and cannot fully understand it.”
"I don't want the moon to wane after it's full, and I'm not the kind of person who wants to quit at the height of his career."
"It's just that I've taken a path, which may be wrong, but I've already reached the middle, so I have to keep going."
“It is said that even if the morning is gone, it is never too late to enjoy the evening. But for me, what is the morning and what is the evening?”
"The sun has set, the forest is covered with leaves, I walk forward, I am lost and can't find the way, I see the bright moon alone, it looks like an old friend."
"I seem to have lived for many, many years, surrounded by lush greenery, but I only love the bright moon in the sky. But is it the moon in the sky or the moon in the water? Is there really two moons in this world?"
"An elder whom I respect very much sent me a text message, which said: Don't let a small flaw overshadow a great virtue."
"It means that what I am doing is a great thing. I should not deny myself because of some flaws, and I should not delay this great cause."
"So for the past two months, I've been listening to you."
"You also told me that the sage said: Everyone can become Yao and Shun."
"I won't listen to this, and I won't do it."
Then there was another long silence.
Everyone held their breath. Some people understood Lin Xiao's monologue, but some did not.
But even those who don’t understand can feel the emotions contained in it.
Everyone's heartbeat quickened because they all knew that after this pause, a very important decision would be made.
Almost half a minute later, Lin Xiao slowly said: "Here, I formally resign from all positions in Lightning Group!"
"Thank you Mr. Masayoshi Son, thank you Mr. Jerry Yang, thank you Mr. Ma, and thank you Mr. Tsai."
"Although you were all very shocked and puzzled when I made this decision, you finally forgave me and continued all our previous strategic cooperation."
"Miss Xia Xi will take over my position and work next!"
"I'm not retreating, I just have more important things to do."
"Everyone, see you in the rivers and lakes!"

Note: This chapter was very difficult to write, but I finally finished it. If you have monthly tickets, could you please give me a few? Thank you all! (End of this chapter)
