Hu Chenrui hurriedly tried to smooth things over: "Hey, Mr. Li is still here, and Xiao Chu has worked there before."

"Oh, sorry, I didn't mean anything else!" Mr. Wang immediately apologized to Li Longke, and winked at the socialite beauty, "Okay, I'll talk to you on WeChat. It's not convenient to chat like this."

Chu Zhishui held her forehead with her hand. She could see that the monsters wanted to watch the show, so she quickly made up an excuse: "Mr. Li, what do you want to talk to me about? I have a meeting in the office later, so I may not be able to chat for too long."

"It's okay, we can have the meeting later!" Ye Huayu was dressed in bright and branded clothes. He shook his sleeves, revealing a big watch, and said warmly, "Xiao Chu, come over and chat, I see Old Wang knows Mr. Li!"

The beautiful socialite: "Yes, let me hear it, I also want to learn how to make money!"

Li Longke had participated in such gatherings before. It was normal for people in investment to get together and brag, but he had never seen this in a public institution, and he never expected that Chu Zhishui would come up to the stage after leaving his job and chat with investors directly.

Li Longke hesitated and said, "Zhishui, these are..."

"This is Director Hu from Huaijiang, and this is Director Ye from Yinhai." Chu Zhishui glanced at the remaining monsters, "These are Director Ye's friends, so come and get together with them."

Li Longke found that she jumped over the cold and arrogant man in the corner, and only Xin Yunmao, who was silent throughout the whole process, was not introduced.

Ye Huayu heard Li Longke calling Chu Zhishui by name, and he couldn't help but whisper again: "God, can you tolerate this?"

Xin Yunmao frowned: "Fake words and flattering appearance."

Humans and monsters sat down at the table, and Hu Chenrui personally boiled water to make tea. In an instant, the house was filled with the fragrance of tea. It was the expensive Mingqian Longjing. The green tea has a strong aroma, clear tea soup, and moist taste. Once you taste it, you will know that the price is over four digits.

Hu Chenrui said helplessly: "Mr. Li, I'm sorry for the poor hospitality. This year's green tea hasn't arrived yet, so let's just drink it together."

"If that's the case, you don't have to call me Mr. Li, just call me by my name." Next to Li Longke was Mr. Wang of Wanke Investment. The other monsters called Mr. Wang Old Wang. He was embarrassed to be called Mr. Li, so he said hurriedly, "Zhishui and I were schoolmates. She was my junior schoolmate. We are not much different in age."

The beautiful socialite looked surprised: "A schoolmate of Director Chu?"

Chu Zhishui said weakly: "Well, yes." This was the worst time her alma mater had been slandered.

Ye Huayu: "Your Majesty, can you tolerate this?"

Xin Yunmao: "Hmph."

"Are you two of the same age? I can't tell." President Wang exclaimed, "That little Li is really young and promising. He started a company at such a young age. I thought we were of the same generation!"

"Haha, you're too kind." Li Longke responded with a dry laugh, not sure whether he was complimenting himself or saying that he looked old.

President Wang said, "Every generation has its own talented people. Young people are really amazing. Although Longzhi is not big, it is not easy to run it up."

The celebrity beauty said curiously, "But Old Wang, you just said that Longzhi..."

"What did I say?" President Wang's face changed in a second. He did not mention the previous denigration and said openly, "It is not easy for young people to start a business. Achievements are victory. Victory and defeat are common in the military. At worst, we can start over again. We can't deny everything."

"If you ask me, Director Chu is amazing. He seized the opportunity and immediately got a job. It's not easy to be unemployed. How many directors in their twenties are there in the country? I couldn't get in that year." President Wang clapped his hands in admiration. "It's important to follow the right leader!"

Hu Chenrui laughed and said, "Alas, little Chu is still hardworking. She achieved results in one year. As long as the leader is not blind, she can be promoted with anyone and can do a good job anywhere."

Li Longke was hurt by the tragedy. His face turned pale and blue: "..."

Li Longke initially wanted to invite Chu Zhishui back to Longzhi Video, but he saw that there was no chance in the current situation. He was promoted to the director level before the age of 30. This is definitely an exceptional promotion. Even if there is no subsequent promotion, this position is decent enough and it is not bad to be placed in Yinhai City. If it is a powerful department, it will be even more different, with more twists and turns.

He gave up the idea of ​​inviting her back, and suddenly a new idea came to his mind. Maybe they can establish a relationship today. She is doing well now, which will also be beneficial to Long Zhi.

After drinking a few pots of green tea and chatting, there will be no dull moments in the room.

Ye Huayu and Mr. Wang are undoubtedly the noisiest. They are chatting non-stop the whole time. Sometimes it is the golf course, and sometimes it is the yacht by the sea. They talk about the falling ceiling.

The socialite beauty asks from time to time how to invest and make money, as if she has hundreds of millions in her pocket and is worried about not being able to spend it. She asks questions here and there, and doesn't take small projects into consideration at all. She has an attitude of not making a splash but wanting to make waves.

Li Longke wanted to take the opportunity to speak, but he couldn't get a word in. His current family background was not enough. People were talking to each other on an equal footing. If you don't have money, you must have power. If you have nothing, you can only keep your mouth shut. People from different circles can't communicate.

It's understandable that Chu Zhishui and others don't earn enough. The nature of the unit determines that there is an upper limit on the salary. But Li Longke runs a company outside, so he has to be compared with Mr. Wang and others. He is not a heavyweight.

"Xiao Li, I'd like to tell you to stop wasting time. Otherwise, you should hurry up and take the civil service exam. I did business because I failed the exam. Who would invest in serious people?" President Wang advised kindly, "You are still young. Try to be promoted to a full-time section chief before you are 30 years old. It will be a little slower than Director Chu, but you also have a future."

Upon hearing this, Ye Huayu said in panic, "Where are you encouraging him to take the exam? We don't accept people in our bureau."

"…………"

Seeing that Li Longke's face turned pale, Chu Zhishui finally coughed twice and interrupted the chat in time: "It's getting late. I'll take President Li out. There is a meeting in the bureau later."

"Yes, I won't bother you. I'll talk to you two another day, President Wang." Li Longke forced a stiff smile, obviously he couldn't hold it anymore.

Chu Zhishui and Li Longke had not talked alone since the monsters in the house interrupted them. Now she led them out.

"God..." Ye Huayu turned her head hurriedly. She was about to remind Xin Yunmao, but he was nowhere to be seen. She was stunned and asked, "Where is the God?"

In the corridor, Chu Zhishui and Li Longke came out, but she did not hear the door closing. She turned around and saw cold white fingers. Xin Yunmao raised his slender fingertips, put his other hand casually in his pocket, and followed the two of them silently, and followed them out the door as if nothing had happened.

Li Longke was stunned when he saw the cold and upright Xin Yunmao. He didn't know this person's identity today. No one in the audience dared to introduce him, but deep respect was revealed in their words.

Chu Zhishui was quite casual with him, raised his eyebrows and asked: "Why did you come out with me?"

Xin Yunmao pursed his lips and said: "Sunbathing."

"Then go over there to sunbathe." Chu Zhishui pointed to the window, where soft sunlight happened to be pouring in, making the ground warm.

Xin Yunmao hesitated for a few seconds and walked over reluctantly. He leaned against the window to sunbathe, but his eyes still followed the two of them, watching Chu Zhishui send them out, his expression somewhat unpredictable.

Li Longke felt a chill on his back from being stared at by his deep gaze, so he quickly turned his head to look at Chu Zhishui, and smiled awkwardly: "I didn't expect that you had good opportunities after leaving Longzhi."

"Indeed, I feel the same way. I am very lucky to be able to enter the bureau." Chu Zhishui smiled, "So I am afraid that I will disappoint Mr. Li."

"It's okay, we can still contact each other when we are free." Li Longke said, "You don't have to call me Mr. Li anymore, just like in school, I am still your senior."

Chu Zhishui was very upset by this, she said with a fake smile: "Mr. Li, you are joking, we are all working, so he is Mr. Li, how can I call him senior."

Li Longke inquired: "By the way, I heard that Wang Yiwen went to Xintou, has she contacted you?"

Chu Zhishui said casually: "Yes, she has recently cooperated with a company in the bureau, and held some promotion festival."

He pretended to be surprised: "You actually have a company in your bureau?"

"Yes, this is my main job at present."

"Why don't you cooperate with us?" Li Longke smiled, "It's so distant to go out and find outsiders, after all, we know each other well."

"We can cooperate. How much discount will Mr. Li give?" Chu Zhishui tilted her head and blinked, "No, how much discount will senior give?"

Li Longke said dryly: "You know the situation. It must be Longzhi's internal price. The highest level is like that."

Chu Zhishui replied officially: "Mr. Li, unfortunately it can't be done. The conditions for Xintou must be higher."

"..." Li Longke frowned slightly. He seemed a little annoyed and emphasized, "Zhishui, but that's Longzhi. The meaning is different."

Chu Zhishui looked at his expression. She didn't know what she remembered and suddenly laughed.

Li Longke was stunned: "What are you laughing at?"

"Sorry, it turns out that not every man looks good when he frowns and gets angry." Chu Zhishui felt that the expression was very visually appealing, and she was suddenly amused. She quickly restrained her smile and said with forbearance, "Sorry, I was distracted. Mr. Li, what did you just say?"

"Are you laughing at me?" Li Longke said angrily, "Do you think that was funny!?"

Chu Zhishui perfunctorily said: "It's not funny, it's not funny, I'm not laughing at you." He didn't even deserve to be laughed at by her.

Li Longke suddenly realized: "I understand, you have teamed up with Wang Yiwen a long time ago. It was you who gave Qi Chang the idea to open a company that is completely comparable to Longzhi."

Chu Zhishui: "?"

Chu Zhishui was shocked: "No, how can I shirk my responsibility like this? If I could order President Qi around, I would be an investor."

Li Longke said angrily: "Didn't you talk to several investors today!"

Chu Zhishui: "..."

Seeing that she was speechless, Li Longke became more righteous: "Longzhi Video is your hard work after all. You created it single-handedly, and you expect it to fail? Those who do evil will eventually perish. I really misjudged you before!"

"Huh?" Chu Zhishui chuckled. She showed a funny look and asked back, "Did you misjudge me?"

"Yes, I thought you were so..."

"How stupid I was to be squeezed out of the team by you, how cowardly I was to sell my shares and leave, how foolish I was not to stab you after I left." Chu Zhishui restrained her smile, her eyes were like cold water, and she rebuked expressionlessly, "I hope it will fail, Li Longke you won't make it this far." It was

the first time that Li Longke saw her so cold, and he was frightened by her hateful tone.

She always smiled and seemed to never get angry, but she actually had this side.

"Do you really think I'm a saint? You're relying on my higher morals than you, so I will definitely not deal with you?" Chu Zhishui sneered, "Yes, I look down on your methods, but it doesn't mean I won't use them. I haven't paid attention to you because I'm still thinking about Long Zhi."

She knew that Long Zhi would not hold out for long, but she couldn't bear to destroy it with her own hands.

It was a trace of her precious years, just like the restaurant she often visited near her home. Even if the taste was getting worse and worse and it disappeared completely, she would still miss it. She founded Longzhi not only to make money, but also because it was a beautiful memory in her life. No matter how bad the ending was, she could not deny it.

People always have a kind of crazy obsession, hoping that precious things can last forever, wishing that they could last for ten years, a hundred years, or a thousand years, but they don’t know how to let go and choose to die at the right time, which may be in line with the law of the rise and fall of all things.

She thought that if she ignored it and left it alone, she would step into a new chapter, but perhaps a violent destruction would be the most perfect ending.

Chu Zhishui said calmly: "Mr. Li reminded me. I created it with one hand and ended it with another. It sounds interesting."

Li Longke's face turned pale: "What do you mean?"

"Nothing, but since you have slandered me, at least you should prove the crime."

Until Chu Zhishui walked into the room without looking back, Li Longke was still standing there in a daze, and had not recovered from the storm just now. He had no idea what she would do. He walked out two steps in a daze, and suddenly caught a glimpse of Xin Yunmao by the window. The tall and

thin man with black hair was still leaning against the window. He didn't even change his posture, like a thousand-year-old pine tree.

This person has a special relationship with Chu Zhishui, far beyond the other people in the lounge. This is Li Longke's inexplicable intuition.

Li Longke had just had a quarrel with Chu Zhishui. Now he was feeling vain about the future. He suddenly went to the handsome man and said, "Please persuade Zhishui. She is the founder of Longzhi. She should not do anything that will make her regret."

"I have persuaded her many times."

Li Longke said in a panic, "Then persuade her again..."

"If she hadn't refused, do you think you would still be so angry?" Xin Yunmao sneered, and a charming smile appeared at the corner of his lips. He mocked, "She would have been tortured by the five poisons and eight sufferings and couldn't stand it."

He persuaded her to make a wish. If she had made a move at that time, Li Longke, who was entangled in desire, would not have been able to be arrogant.

But she refused.

Li Longke was startled by this. He subconsciously took a step back and sensed a dangerous breath for no reason.

"Although I really want her to rely on me, she has always been like this and won't use her demonic energy to solve the problem." His tone was a little disappointed, and he looked up at Li Longke and said disdainfully, "If I want to attack you, it means I underestimate her. It's better for her to do it."

Hu Chenrui and other demons will try every means to keep her from leaving, but he knows her character and has long known that she will not leave.

Therefore, he will not directly bounce the five poisons and eight sufferings to Li Longke like he does to others. He wants to witness her do it all by herself.

If she is regarded as an incompetent human being who must rely on him to solve everything, it will be a huge insult to her, and even completely discredit the three words "Chu Zhishui".

He was helpless because he couldn't find her wish. He always hoped to do many things for her, but he also knew that there were some things he couldn't do, otherwise it would destroy the results she had achieved. The driving force that she has carefully maintained until now and fought for.

Xin Yunmao's eyes were like a cold pond. He stared at the timid Li Longke as if he was looking at a dying tree trunk.

A crisp snap of fingers.

When Li Longke came back to his senses, he was already standing outside the observation bureau. He vaguely felt that his memory was missing. He only remembered that he had a big fight with Chu Zhishui, but he could no longer remember the conversation with the strange man.

That night, Chu Zhishui was annoyed by the troublemaker Li Longke. After she sent a message to Wang Yiwen, she began to look through the address book and called the finalized candidates one by one.

Since he is labeled as a villain, he must do villain things, and stirring up discord is a given.

"Hey, Brother Sun Qiang, are you still in Longzhi? Oh, you just resigned. Are you taking a break or do you have new plans? Actually, a company contacted me recently, but I feel that you are more suitable than me..." "Is

Xixi still working in operations at Longzhi? Have you been transferred to another department? But I remember that you are suitable for operations?"

"Oh, the company can't do anything about you. Since you have changed to a new department, you should change to a new environment. Do you remember Yiwen? She just went to Xintou and is building a team. You two rarely met in the company at the beginning, but I always felt that you two would get along well."

"A friend also wants to change jobs, but she doesn't have a good relationship with Yiwen? Oh, you can ask her to come along. It's normal to quarrel at work. If the leader doesn't arrange things well, there will naturally be chaos below. It's mainly because of Mr. Li. Yiwen will definitely not care."

"Yiwen's level is different, and her perspective is different from Mr. Li. After all, they are old colleagues."

Chu Zhishui called them one by one in the evening. She specifically poached the core members of Longzhi. Anyway, the salary of Xintou is there. If you don't make money, you're a fool. I don't believe they won't be tempted.

It's not easy for outsiders to poach. It takes time just to collect information, and it takes more energy to persuade the other party to participate in the interview. After all, new companies are risky, and many people dare not try rashly.

However, Chu Zhishui used to have a very high prestige in Longzhi, and she has not been involved in any scandals since she resigned. This gives her a unique advantage and can naturally convince people.

After answering the phone, her former colleagues still regretted that she was not in Xintou, otherwise they might have been more motivated, but they were relieved when they knew she became a civil servant. Who makes the end of the universe a fabrication?

Just that one night, Chu Zhishui swung her hammer wildly and dug out many of Li Longke's capable generals.

Wang Yiwen was surprised: "But you could have done this a long time ago, why did you suddenly think of this?"

Chu Zhishui did not mention Li Longke at all, and said ruthlessly: "I want to renovate the yard recently. I will first earn the headhunting fee from President Qi, and then I will have money to buy furniture."
