Xuan Ming died on the road before being sent to the hospital. After returning home, Zhuang Li, who was covered in blood, locked himself in the bedroom and did not eat or drink for three days. He needed a lot of time to think, digest, and bear the shock of Xuan Ming's death for himself.
Why is his native country, his countrymen, willing to sacrifice themselves for the so-called continuation of humanity? This question was something that Zhuang Li in the past could not understand no matter what. His smart brain can solve most of the mysteries in the world, but he can't solve this knot.
But now he figured it out.
He found the answer from Xuan Ming. It is a guardian, and it is to leave the hope of life to the people you care about the most.
Zhuang Li's eyes filled with enthusiasm again, and two wet tears fell down his cheeks and soaked into the corners of his mouth, bringing unspeakable bitterness, but he suddenly laughed.
It took him more than 70 hours to think about it before he finally realized that Xuan Ming probably loved himself. This belated realization stung his self-proclaimed ruthless heart and left a deep mark.
Zhuang Li covered his eyes and half-lyed in the soft chair, as if he had fallen asleep.
But 7480 knew that his thoughts were more intense than ever. The various magnetic fields shot out of his brain almost disrupted the 7480's core program.
Zhuang Li was reminiscing about the past, and those memories filled with gunpowder smoke and blood were once reinforced layer by layer and sealed in the depths of his mind.
He thought of his homeland and compatriots who had turned into smoke and dust under the bombardment of nuclear bombs; he thought of the scene when the captain pushed his little child into the only rescue capsule when the spaceship fell; he thought of more than ten years of upheaval; Also reminded of those survivor bases built on Mars.
He left them with an entirely new metal material that, if those scientists were smart enough, could build a spacecraft in about two years.
Two years is enough to use up the few resources on Mars, and humans will die on a large scale. At the moment the spaceship was built, the original surviving population of more than 150 million was considered lucky to have survived to 20 to 30 million.
And this result was well within his expectations.
In order to get revenge, Zhuang Li deliberately leaked his manuscript with serious errors to Poincaré John, leading him to build some damn Dyson sphere, and exhaust all the resources brought by mankind from the earth; When it came to nothing, he reappeared as a savior.
He single-handedly killed 120 million survivors, and this number was exactly equal to the number of martyrs in China.
He is not a savior, on the contrary, he is a demon who crawled out of hell, and his lifelong pursuit is only one, and that is revenge.
Even though he took so many lives, he didn't feel the slightest guilt in his heart. The reason why the Chinese people were willing to sacrifice at the time was because the Federation promised them that they would bring all the elderly, weak, women and children of China safely to Mars.
But what did the Federals do in the end? They secretly let out the fuel of China's spaceship, leaving most of the people dead in the fire, and refused to rescue the only spaceship that escaped the fire. And they did such a heinous thing just because there were the most survivors in China, and they were afraid that they would join forces to form a big force that would threaten the security of the Federation.
It is such a ridiculous reason that more than 100 million Chinese people died tragically.
So, how could Zhuang Li show mercy to the Commonwealth
Those federal people will never know who is the culprit who killed them. After successfully settling on planet GJ536B, they will worship Zhuang Li like a god and build a statue or even a temple for him.
Zhuang Li smiled softly, but there were many tears in his fingers.
He actually had a more brutal plan back then.
When calculating Poincaré, he envisioned the complete collapse of the Dyson sphere and the complete extinction of the human species. He wouldn't leave behind some damn new metal stuff. He wants to kill all alien humans on Mars and bury his compatriots.
But while editing the revenge video, the voices of his compatriots kept ringing in his ears, and they repeated the phrase over and over again - may our sacrifices be exchanged for the longevity of humanity...
So at the last moment, Zhuang Li left a way out.
He never understood what he was thinking at the time, but now, the answer to this question is irrelevant. He is very glad that he did not exterminate human beings, not because of conscience, but because if he did that, he would feel ashamed when he thinks of his compatriots and Xuan Ming again.
People always want to protect something when they live. This is the meaning of life.
Zhuang Li couldn't understand this reason before, because he preferred destruction to protecting him.
But now, he clenched his hands, trying to grasp this inexplicable feeling.
When he stared at his fist in a daze, Chang Dongming's voice came from outside the door: "Zhuang Li, Mr. Yao asked you to go to the company for a meeting right away." Then he knocked on the door impatiently.
Zhuang Dahai's voice also followed: "He is very weak these days without eating or drinking, and he has no time to go to meetings. Don't disturb him."
Chang Dongming said very aggressively: "He has to go if he doesn't want to. President Yao has already taken office. As the head of the R&D department, he must submit the work plan and performance report for this quarter as soon as possible. President Yao waited for him for three times. God, it's enough to give him face. What does he mean when he doesn't answer calls or text messages?"
Zhuang Dahai's tone was also filled with anger: "You know that Xiaoli was frightened and forced him to go to work, what do you mean? He is a minister, doesn't he have the right to ask for a few days' leave?"
Chang Dongming suddenly sneered: "Minister? Maybe after today. The Haiming Group is now surnamed Yao, not Xuan. Xuan Ming's direct line has been gone and scattered these days, and it has been cleaned up by President Yao. Net. Guess who will be fired next?"
Chang Dongming intensified his knock on the door, his voice full of contempt: "How much does Zhuang Li weigh? You, a father, know best. If Xuan Ming hadn't fallen in love with him, would he have what he is today? Yao Zonghua Chongjin has hired a team of experts from abroad, and they will soon replace Zhuang Li's team as the backbone of our Haiming R&D."
"By the way," Chang Dongming stopped knocking on the door, smiling very gloating: "You hurry up and rent a cheap house outside, the property management fee here is too expensive, I'm afraid Zhuang Li can't afford it. Without Xuan Ming as a backer , where does he go to find a job with an annual salary of 40 million?"
Because the state protects Zhuang Li too closely, although his laboratory is affiliated with the Haiming Group, its operations are completely independent and information cannot be shared. So many people in the Haiming Group didn't know what exactly Zhuang Li was doing every day, and regarded him as a vase.
Zhuang Dahai was frightened by the bad news.
Chang Dongming knocked on the door harder and threatened: "Zhuang Li, if you don't go to the meeting today, you won't be working in the company tomorrow. President Yao asked me to tell you something. He said he doesn't like raising the disabled, you Do it yourself."
The door that had always been closed suddenly opened from the inside.
Zhuang Li came out of the darkness wearing a luxurious royal blue suit. After three days of self-isolation, he lost a lot of weight, and his face was almost transparent, but his long and narrow eyes were more inscrutable than ever before.
While sorting his cufflinks, he whispered to Zhuang Dahai: "Dad, I'm sorry, I've made you worry these days. I'll go to the company to deal with some things, and I'll be back soon. You don't have to move the house, I'll buy a bigger one for you later. of."
Zhuang Dahai sighed worriedly, then ran to the kitchen to get him a box of lunch and let him take it to the road to eat. As for buying a bigger villa or something, he was just talking nonsense as a son.
Chang Dongming snorted a few times, and then followed up with Zhuang Li.
"Send me to the funeral home first." After getting into the car, Zhuang Li ordered it as a matter of course.
Chang Dongming pretended not to hear and drove the car straight to the company.
Zhuang Li opened the car door and was about to step out, regardless of whether the car was still moving.
Chang Dongming was startled, quickly stepped on the brakes, and turned back and growled: "You're not afraid of death, right? Okay, I'll take you there! You can only be proud of this day. Without Xuan Ming, who the hell will kill you ?"
Half an hour later, Zhuang Li was already standing in front of the black coffin, looking down at the man lying quietly among the white daisies. His face was still as handsome as before his death, and the two thick eyebrows that flew diagonally into his temples were completely stretched at the moment, and the smile on the corner of his mouth should be matched, as if he was having a very sweet dream. It's just that this dream is too long, and I can't wake up again in this life.
Zhuang Li took a serious look at his face for the first time, and the warmth in his eyes kept coming, and it turned into tears.
He quickly turned his head away to prevent tears from falling on Xuan Ming's face. It is said that in that case, Xuan Ming's soul will be scalded, and thus he will not be able to enter reincarnation.
Zhuang Li supported the two sides of the coffin with both hands, leaned down and whispered in Xuan Ming's ear: "Thank you. Also, I will definitely protect the things you left behind."
Yes, protect everything related to Xuan Ming, this is the answer he found after pondering for three days. Apart from this, he really couldn't think of what else he could do for this man who was gone forever.
He stared at this smiling sleeping face for a long time, until the tears in his eyes dried, until the dull pain in his heart slowed down, and until there was no more confusion in his mind, he withdrew his hand and turned away.
Father Xuan, Mother Xuan, the old man, and the old lady stood on both sides and nodded to him, but they did not anger him. The autopsy report given by the forensic doctor also showed that Xuan Ming died of internal bleeding. No one could see the bloody muzzle behind him except Zhuang Li.
The reason why the main god is called the main god probably stems from this ability to change the cause and effect of the world.
But there was no fear in Zhuang Li's heart. On the contrary, when he walked out of the dark and cold funeral home, the gleam in his eyes was unexpectedly firm.
---
More than an hour later, Zhuang Li pushed open the door of the conference room and walked to his seat unhurriedly.
The hall was full of people. The first one was Yao Xin, the new president of Haiming Group. On the left and right sides were his confidants and major shareholders. Xuan Pei, who was sent by the family to attend the meeting, huddled in the corner, alone and without anyone to follow. Apart from the 30% of the shares left by his brother, he has no bargaining power.
Xuan Ming originally occupied 45% of the shares of Haiming Group and was the absolute majority shareholder. But a while ago, I don't know why he was crazy, and suddenly gave 15% of the shares to Zhuang Li for free, causing an uproar in the outside world.
In today's meeting, Yao Xinqiang forced Zhuang Li to attend the meeting because of the 15% stake.
Seeing that the main target was coming, Yao Xin threw out several folders and announced high above: "Mr. Zhuang, this is the entry contract of Dr. Aier and his team. From today, they are employed by Haiming Group and will take over you in an all-round way. All current work. Since you are not in a good state, then suspend your work, I understand your mood."
First let someone take over Zhuang Li's laboratory, force him to suspend his work, then investigate the specific situation of the laboratory, find illegal operations, and then send the person to court, and the price of the out-of-court settlement is the 15% of the shares. At that time, he will push the price to a minimum.
This is Yao Xin's overall plan. He firmly believes that Zhuang Li has no real talents and practical learning, and he will definitely make mistakes in his work. As long as he takes hold of the other party's handle, all problems can be solved easily.
These rude words made the conference room extraordinarily quiet.
Xuan Pei looked at Zhuang Li worriedly. The rest showed expressions of watching the show.
Chang Dongming, who has been promoted to the chief secretary of the president, helped the glasses frame on the bridge of his nose to hide the ridicule in his eyes. Without real skills, Zhuang Li would not be able to stay in Haiming.
However, Zhuang Li, who was looked down upon by everyone, curled the corners of his lips and smiled strangely.
He stretched his arms, dragged the laptop of a shareholder next to him, logged out of all pages, inserted a memory card he brought into the card reader, and clicked his fingertips for a while, and finally turned the screen to everyone in a sloppy tone. : "I choose to suspend my job, and I also choose to stop selling you the right to use patents."
Everyone didn't understand what he said at first, but after carefully looking at the information on the screen, their minds exploded.
Of the more than 3,000 patented technologies in the hands of Haiming Group, 2,581 of them belong to Zhuang Li himself! The most basic nine patents are also signed with his name!
In other words, he has the absolute power to terminate all cooperation with Hai Ming. Once Haiming loses these patents he has authorized to use, the 5G network built with tens of billions of funds will become a pile of useless junk!
The aircraft carrier Haiming Group, which can shake the entire communication field with a stomping, can be wiped out overnight!
To snatch Zhuang Li's shares? nonexistent!
Force Zhuang Li to resign? That's even more of a fantasy!
In the end, everyone discovered that the person who could dominate Hai Ming's life and death was not Yao Xin, not Xuan Pei, nor any of the shareholders, but Zhuang Li, who had never been in their eyes.
