Chapter 1 Screams in the City
The business hall of the five-star hotel was filled with executives from Shengshi Investment Bank and their families.
They are all gossipy women.
Everyone is celebrating a big project that Shengshi Investment Bank has just won.
"Mr. Ye, let us toast you again. Without you, Shengshi would not have been able to win this project. You have made the greatest contribution here. You must drink this glass of wine!" The investment director raised the champagne and toasted enthusiastically.
"Thank you, thank you," Ye Li smiled, clinked glasses, and took a small sip.
Although she drank in small sips, she couldn't resist the toasts from everyone, and her alcohol tolerance was not good, so she felt dizzy from drinking so much.
She sat on a chair nearby to rest, and the gossips of the women around her reached her ears one by one.
Ye Li raised an eyebrow, took out his cell phone and pressed the record button.
"Tsk tsk, you really think you're such a big shot! It's just a dish on the table, for those men to drink with."
"Haha... Exactly. These days! It's all these little girls like this, relying on their youth and beauty to use devious means to climb the social ladder." A heavily made-up woman said, "After they get to the top, they come and show off in front of us! Haha! In the eyes of us wives, she's nothing but a wild whore."
"Heh..." Ye Li laughed in disbelief. These women must have grown fat in their heads because they ate too much shark fin and bird's nest!
Does Ye Li need to rely on men to climb up?
Ye Li, a studious and hardworking girl, graduated from an agricultural university at the age of 18, but she did not go into agriculture because her family already had a father who was engaged in agriculture.
After graduation, I went abroad to study finance. It took me two years to graduate, and I was only 20 years old.
After returning to China, he went straight to work for Shengshi, a Fortune 500 company. He overcame all obstacles along the way and won numerous projects. At a young age, he became the general manager of Shengshi.
The men whom these women hold in high esteem are the followers that Ye Li commands.
Ye Li sent the recording to the husbands of these women.
Not long after, the husbands of these women came over one by one, sweating profusely, and stood in front of Ye Li very obediently.
The group of women stopped gossiping and looked over. Why did their husbands come over?
"Mr. Ye, please calm down. Our wife is just a sow who only knows how to eat and drink. She doesn't understand business matters at all."
Ye Li said with a wry smile: "Originally I wanted to pick one of you to be my deputy, but now it seems that -"
"You stinky bitch, why don't you come over and apologize to Mr. Ye! Come here quickly!" One of the smart and sensible ones immediately rushed over, slapped his wife, and then pulled her over to apologize to Ye Li. The others quickly followed suit.
Being Mr. Ye's deputy is something that I dare not even think about. In the future, I will definitely be second to none in the company and make a lot of money.
The women lost face and started arguing with their husbands, swearing all kinds of dirty words at them.
A high-end celebration banquet suddenly turned into a scene of quarreling in the vegetable market.
Ye Li slowly picked up the champagne on the table and drank it in one gulp. It was so refreshing!
After drinking a glass of wine, Ye Li's stomach churned. She covered her mouth and ran to the bathroom in her high heels, where she vomited everything she had eaten tonight.
When I looked up, the head was spinning and everything was double. My body was staggering and I couldn't even stand up.
I drank too much! I feel so bad!
Ye Li held onto the wall and tried to leave the bathroom.
"Hey, what is this?" Ye Li brushed away his hand. Why was there a fragmented mist of light in front of his eyes, shining like a diamond? Was it because he was drunk and his eyes were dazzled?
Her fingers passed through the light mist, something ethereal and vague.
Ye Li took a step forward curiously, her body passing through the light mist. It seemed as if the stars had moved before her eyes. She was clearly in the brightly lit bathroom of a five-star hotel, but now she was in an abandoned house. The furniture in the house was shabby and no one had lived there for a long time.
"I must be dazzled!" Ye Li turned around and walked back towards the ball of light fog. However, just as he stepped over, the light fog suddenly disappeared without a trace.
Ye Li stretched out her hand and waved it in the air, but caught nothing. She ended up in an inexplicable place.
"This must be a dream, yes, I must be dreaming," Ye Li took a deep breath, she pushed open the shabby door and walked outside, the cold wind blew in her face, she felt that she was a little sober, it was evening outside, it was about to get dark, she was in the hotel corridor, the glass of the floor-to-ceiling windows had been shattered into pieces, the corridor was littered with messy waste.
"What a hell of a place," Ye Li's feet hurt so much that she took off her high heels and held them in her hands, walking barefoot on the ground. Because there was broken glass on the corridor, she had to be very careful.
Perhaps because he knew he was dreaming, Ye Li was no longer afraid and happily wandered in his dream.
This dream has a bit of a doomsday feel to it.
Ye Li stood on the balcony of the hotel, looking at the entire city. There was not a single light on, and all the tall buildings were submerged in the endless night.
Ye Li didn't know when she would wake up from this dream, but the only thing she was sure of was that it would soon be dark, and if she couldn't find anything to illuminate her, she would probably have to spend the night in darkness.
We tried turning on the lights in all the rooms in the hotel, but without electricity, the broken lights in the hotel wouldn't turn on.
Ye Li found a pair of worn slippers in one of the hotel rooms. After putting them on, he left the hotel and started walking on the street. He entered a nearby convenience store to see what was inside.
Most of the convenience store shelves were empty, with only a few books and some empty packages left. The evening breeze blew through the hall, sending scraps of paper flying.
Ye Li was filled with disappointment. This dream was too unpleasant.
"ah……"
Suddenly, a scream came from nowhere, breaking the silence of the entire city.
