Su Lan bit her lip and asked Yang Ye, "Do you still remember Susan?"
"Remember, my mother's friend." Yang Ye frowned, "You know Susan, you know me?"
Yang Ye came out to his family very early. His parents were quite open-minded, so they didn't make things difficult for him, but it's not easy to spread such things to the outside world.
Therefore, although Susan and Yang Ye's mother were best friends, she didn't know Yang Ye's sexual orientation at one time, and she was very keen to introduce someone to Yang Ye.
"It's almost last year... According to the real time, it was last year. This game has messed up my time. I don't know how long it has actually been, anyway—"
Su Lan looked at Yang Ye, "Susan should have introduced me to you, but you may not have the impression at all. When she showed me your photo, I liked you very much."
"She helped us date a few times, and you pushed them all. But sometimes people may be easily stunned, or I have been praised by others, and no one has ever ignored me... You saw my photo, You're not interested in me at all, and you don't even bother to see me, so I pay more attention to you instead, and asked Susan to help you make appointments a few times."
"You should have been forced to confess your sexuality to Susan. Susan also apologized to me, saying she blamed her for not communicating with you well in advance. She didn't expect that you would even refuse to see me."
"Later, of course I heard about the rumors about your sexuality. I also asked Susan, but she fooled me. I thought I still had hope. Now it seems that Susan is just concerned about your parents' face, It's not good to tell me."
"Just in this situation, you have no impression of me at all, but I have been paying attention to you. I can't say I like you very much, but I just keep paying attention..."
Yang Ye looked at her: "Why do you think you are dead?"
Su Lan said, "I don't remember whether I'm dead or not, but I know you're dead."
Yang Ye frowned: "I'm dead? Why don't I know?"
Su Lan's eyes dimmed a bit, recalling what happened that night.
Su Lan is used to being flattered. In a situation similar to a blind date, facing Yang Ye who only saw her own photo and rejected the introducer, a proud rich girl like Su Lan was unwilling to post back, so she never contacted her. Pass Yang Ye, let alone chase after him.
Later, she chose one of many suitors, and after two months of dating, she discovered many shortcomings of the other party and wanted to break up with him. The two met at the bar that night, and Su Lan broke up.
Her boyfriend refused to separate life and death, and when the quarrel reached a point where they couldn't break up, he asked her: "You are determined to break up, have you moved on?"
Su Lan didn't want to get entangled with him, and wanted to cut off his thoughts completely, so she found Yang Ye's photo from her mobile phone and said, "Yes, I like him. He is much more handsome and excellent than you. Are you convinced?" Are you not convinced?"
"Are you okay? He's crooked. Who in our circle doesn't know? And he died today."
"What did you say?"
"I said he was dead. My buddy sent me all the photos of the scene. Don't you believe it? I'll show you now."
At that moment, Su Lan told Yang Ye the truth about what happened that night, and then said: "When I was alive, I had a good impression of you. You saved me in the game script, so I... In short, it's over now."
Yang Ye asked her: "Wait, let's get back to the point. Did you see the picture of my death? How did I die?"
Su Lan said: "I was in a bad mood that night. I drank a lot of wine. I can't remember the details clearly. Anyway, there are photos of you being sent to the ambulance, and there are other things... But I can't remember. According to my ex-boyfriend It means that you suddenly collapsed during a meeting. He also showed me the WeChat message sent by his buddy, probably saying that there must be no way to save it."
"That breakup made me very irritable. I drank a lot of wine. When I saw what happened to you, I drank a few more glasses of brandy."
"I didn't call a driver, I drove away by myself."
"I remember I drove on the elevated... and then I came to this game."
"Now that I think about it, I died in a drunk driving accident. I asked for it."
Su Lanxu talked a lot.
Yang Ye's expression in front of her became more and more serious.
He has sharp facial features, and when he usually smiles, he feels very gentle.
But when he became serious, even when his face sank a little, he appeared extremely fierce and frightening.
At the end, Su Lan didn't dare to say anything, she got up silently and left.
After returning to the room, Su Lan accidentally discovered that there were two men in black and a sedan chair in the room.
Su Lan frowned: "What do you mean?"
A man in black stepped forward: "Sorry, the system made a mistake in calculating the relationship between the players in reality, which caused you to be assigned to the same group as these players. The system has discovered this bug and has been updated and optimized. .”
Su Lan: "You mean, I knew about Yang Ye's death, so I guessed that all the players died. It's a bug that you didn't expect? So what do you want to do to me?"
The man in black took out a row of reward cards: "The system can provide you with many high-quality reward cards and 30 gold coins as compensation. But you need to drink Wangchuan water and start the game from scratch. Come with us."
After Su Lan left, Yang Ye took off his glasses, pressed his eyebrows, and sat alone by the window, lost in thought.
"I remember that I was holding a meeting with the staff, and suddenly lost consciousness, and woke up in the card drawing hall downstairs."
Yang Ye remembered that this was what he said to Gu Liang when he first met Gu Liang.
Thinking about it now, before the meeting, he flew to the United States twice within 10 days, and each time he started to work without the jet lag. During that time, the procurement process of foreign branches, supplier negotiations, domestic acquisition projects...all things were mixed together, and he was very busy.
Is he really dead? Overworked
If he died, then... what about Gu Liang
What did Gu Liang say when they first met
He said: "I went to work at 7 in the morning and helped an old lady across the road. After helping her, I passed out in the dark. If I hadn't come here, I thought I had been tricked by her."
Why did Gu Liang faint
Wait, "Surname Gu", "Deputy Director of Legal Affairs", "A talented student who graduated from X University Law School"...
Where had he heard those words
He must have heard it.
In reality, who did he hear about Gu Liang...
By the way, he remembered.
At 10 o'clock that day, the secretary came to report to him: "Mr. Yang, the negotiation with the Ningyue Group that was originally scheduled for 10:20 on the contract dispute on the first floor of the Guohua Shopping Plaza has to be canceled temporarily. The deputy director of legal affairs who was going to come with their boss over there encountered a car accident and was sent to the rescue."
Yang Ye: "Who is the legal affairs? Others can't talk about it?"
Secretary: "His surname is Gu, and he is a high-achieving student at X University Law School. The Ningyue Group thinks highly of him, saying that he is indeed very capable. He has always been in charge of this case, and there is no substitute for him."
The secretary went on to say: "The personnel department and the finance department happen to have something to report to you. It's about the adjustment of the organizational structure after the acquisition and the salary budget plan for new employees. I will mention their meeting at 10:20. What do you think? ?”
Yang Ye nodded: "Okay. Call them all over, this needs to be decided as soon as possible. The company's collapse is because of overstaffing, and everyone who can't be used will be persuaded to leave."
Yang Ye received a lot of information during his working day.
The secretary's introduction about a deputy legal director of the other company was insignificant to him at that time, like a passing cloud, he didn't take it into his mind.
But now, after pushing away the heavy clouds and mist, he finally remembered.
Yang Ye was cold all over.
But he couldn't help feeling a little lucky.
—There are so many people with the surname Gu, so many deputy directors of legal affairs, and many graduates from X University Law School...
The one who got into a car accident wasn't necessarily Gu Liang.
Gu Liang is not necessarily in the Ningyue Group.
At this time, the waiter brought over the packaged meal, handed it to him, and signaled him to pay with the fixed consumption gold coins issued by the system.
Yang Ye paid quickly and went upstairs with the food.
The moment he swiped his card to enter the room, he saw his hands tremble violently.
When Yang Ye entered the room, Gu Liang was still awake.
After putting the food on the coffee table, Yang Ye went directly to the bathroom, closed the door, washed his face with cold water, and tried to calm himself down.
He was recalling what happened before he came to this game.
Their family group has a lot of business, but the main business is commercial real estate.
There was an old commercial real estate company called Huamao. When there was some problem in the capital chain, and the transformation and other things couldn't keep up with the development of the times, and it was about to fail, it was acquired by Yang Ye's group.
However, this news has not been disclosed to the outside world, and the outside world does not know about it.
The company Huamao had just completed a project at that time, which was a large shopping center in the Guohua business district.
Guohua Commercial District is a new commercial district in the Imperial City. The traffic flow is not as good as the core business districts in the old city, but it has great potential. The people living in the surrounding communities are middle and high-level white-collar workers, although most of them are foreigners who come to the Imperial City to work hard. , but the wages are quite high.
Ningyue Group owns a high-end boutique supermarket, so it chose the location on the first floor of this shopping mall.
Area, price, lease term, rent-free period and other agreements have all been negotiated, the contract is signed, and even the Ningyue Group is ready to move in and start renovations. He signed a unilateral contract termination letter, and then leased the land that Ning Yue was optimistic about to another company.
That company is still a competitor of Ningyue, and it is also planning to build a supermarket here.
Huamao's development director did this entirely for personal gain.
Although the acquisition of Huamao has not been disclosed to the outside world, there are rumors of employees with slightly higher ranks in Huamao, such as the development director.
The development director has inquired that Yang Ye's group employs very strict personnel. He felt that he would be fired anyway, so he simply made a fortune while he could. So he lied to others, took advantage of the loopholes in the company's contract management, and took advantage of the loopholes in the company's contract management. Taking the kickback from Ning Yue's rival company, he signed a contract with them.
As a result, the development director resigned with a high kickback and left, but left the mess to his old boss, Huamao.
This turned into - the same land in the same shopping center, Huamao first rented it to Ningyue Group, then unilaterally issued a letter of termination, and then leased the land to Ningyue Group's rival company.
The rival company was also the first to settle in this site, and started to decorate it first, blocking the door every day to prevent Ning Yue's people from entering.
This time, Ningyue Group sued Huamao Company in court.
After Huamao was acquired by Yang Ye's family, the lawsuit fell on Yang Ye's family group.
In fact, this matter has little to do with Yang Ye, it is enough to send the general manager in charge, the development manager and the group's legal affairs to negotiate.
But Yang Ye attached great importance to the development of this new type of business district.
He didn't want the first floor of the shopping center to be unable to open on the day the shopping center opened as a whole—these two companies were arguing every day, and both of them recruited some local hooligans to make trouble. After all, it will affect the overall opening momentum of the shopping center.
In addition, Ningyue Group is not a small business.
In the final analysis of this matter, Ning Yue was on the side.
When things get serious, Ning Yue's use of public opinion to create momentum will also affect the reputation of Yang Ye's family group.
As for the bosses of Ning Yue's rival company, they have many ties to the Yang family both openly and secretly, so Yang Ye can't easily persuade them to leave.
Therefore, Yang Ye decided to discuss this matter in person.
Yang Ye first made an appointment with the Ningyue Group, after all, the Ningyue Group was the one that was breached.
Yang Ye wanted to find out if they were willing to accept compensation, or if they wanted to take down the area on the first floor and continue to open the supermarket.
Yang Ye scheduled the meeting at 10:40 am that day.
Then he was told by the secretary that the deputy legal director of Ningyue Group who was going to come to the meeting had a car accident, so the meeting was temporarily canceled and replaced by another meeting.
At this moment, Yang Ye looked at himself in the mirror, water droplets were sliding down his bangs, his hair was sticking to both sides of his face, he looked quite embarrassed.
He couldn't help thinking—is he and Gu Liang really dead
If he hadn't died from overwork and Gu Liang hadn't been in that car accident, would they have had a completely different encounter in reality
There was a knock on the door at this time.
Yang Ye turned around and went to open the door.
Just as he grabbed the doorknob and was about to open the door, Gu Liang pushed him back.
"Gu Liang? What's wrong?" Yang Ye asked.
Gu Liang only asked: "What are you doing inside?"
Yang Ye: "It's okay, I'm just going to take a shower. Do you want to come in and take a shower before going to eat?"
Gu Liang paused and said, "It's okay, you take a shower first. I'll eat later."
Yang Ye tried his best to suppress his emotions, so as not to let his voice show the slightest strangeness. "By the way, I suddenly remembered that I didn't ask before, which company do you work as a legal counsel?"
Gu Liang said: "Ningyue Group. You should have heard of it?"
If Yang Ye was only cold all over before, now he felt that the blood in his whole body was frozen starting from his heart.
Yang Ye remembered what Gu Liang said before: "By the way, there is a strange thing. I had a classmate. He died, but I found that he became an NPC in this game. I participated in his funeral…”
—So, are they all really dead
Is this hell
Is the crying that is often heard in the sedan chair a ghost cry
Is the so-called man in black actually black impermanence
So what is your current form
ghost
Outside the door, seeing that Yang Ye didn't speak, Gu Liang seemed a little worried. "What's wrong with you? Why do you ask this suddenly?"
Yang Ye took a deep breath, trying his best not to make his voice too hoarse. "It's nothing, just suddenly remembered, just ask."
"Well, speaking of it, I still have a big case at my place. Huamao Real Estate played with us, first signed a lease contract with us, and then suddenly asked us to terminate the contract with the reason that our renovation and occupancy time was later than the contract. , and leased it to our competitor. Our company must enter that business district, and of course we don’t want to hand it over to others.”
Gu Liang leaned against the door and said slowly, "Before I came to this game, I was going to participate in the negotiation meeting of this case. I don't know how they are talking now that I am not in the company."
"You know Huamao, right? But it was before the negotiation that I found out that Huamao was acquired. Before I came to this game, I was on my way to negotiate with the executives of the acquirer."
"The executive—"
Yang Ye smiled, but behind the door that Gu Liang couldn't see, this smile seemed a bit bitter.
Yang Ye said with a deep voice, "It's me."
"is it you?"
Gu Liang was a little surprised, "I really didn't expect that. You just completed the acquisition of Huamao, and you didn't disclose it to the public. We are going to a meeting. I don't know that there are so many executives in your group, which executive will be the last one?" Come talk to us about this. Come on—"
Gu Liang seemed to find it quite interesting, and raised the corners of his mouth. "It seems that you are quite low-key. I really haven't looked up the name of the prince of your big group... I thought I would never deal in this life."
Yang Ye's heart stopped when he heard it, he put his hand on the handle, and wanted to open the door again.
Gu Liang pushed the door back again.
Gu Liang raised the corner of his mouth and said, "Don't come out first. Let me tell you something."
As if anticipating what Gu Liang wanted to say, Yang Ye turned his back and leaned against the door.
He wondered how happy he would have been if this had happened the first day.
But now his heart is astringent and sore, it is really uncomfortable.
He couldn't imagine that it was not easy for Gu Haohao to open his heart, finally overcome his inferiority complex and fear, and decided to let himself into his heart... But what should he do when he finally finds out that all this is just a big empty dream
Just like actor Ming has never met Earl William, if all this is false, what will happen to Gu Liang
Should he continue
Should they continue
Outside the door, Gu Liang quietly leaned against the door for a while, and then said softly: "I've lived such an old age, and I've never done such a thing. Some things, if I see you, I might not be able to say them. So, Yang Ye , don't laugh at me."
After a pause, Gu Liang continued: "Old Mengtou has always wanted to go back. He said he has a son who is very obedient and sensible. He is an old man. He treasures this son very much. His son is about to take the college entrance examination. Hurry back and reunite with him."
"And Xiaoyu, I don't know how she is doing with her studies. I hope she can pass ACCA when she goes back."
"When I heard them talk about this before, I would feel envious. Because they all have sustenance. But I don't seem to have any sustenance when I live."
"If I didn't have to take a different path from my dad before, I chose science, and after graduation from university, I went to a doctorate all the way, and went to a research institute to do scientific research, maybe I would have sustenance, put my love on the development of science, and work for the welfare of mankind, then It’s also a pretty good ideal, it’s the motivation to live—”
Gu Liang smiled self-deprecatingly, and said again: "But I studied the Fa, and I had a lot of problems at work. Later, I practiced these things... that is, I followed the steps step by step, and sometimes I felt very bad... I didn't think my Work has too much social value, and I haven't tried to like anyone in the past."
"In short, unlike Lao Mengtou and Li Xiaoyu, I had no sustenance in my life before."
"When it comes to this game... Sometimes my analysis is quite positive, but when I think about it carefully, it's not that I want to live desperately, that is, I think it's fun to solve the puzzles, and I don't want to be played by the murderer or the script designer. Barely play the game seriously."
"But I didn't really pay much attention to this game before."
"Yang Ye, to be honest, after the depression was cured, I didn't want to die, but I didn't particularly want to live either."
"I don't know if you understand this state. It's probably because I don't want to seek death, but if I die in an accident while walking, I don't seem to feel sorry for myself."
"But now I find that... after meeting you, I may also have a sustenance to live a good life."
"Yang Ye, I want to live a good life."
When Gu Liang said this, he didn't mean that he was working for Yang at night.
He said that only because in this game, after he met Yang Ye, Li Xiaoyu, Meng Qiancheng and others, he gained a lot of energy from them.
Under the teasing and coercion of the system, and under the influence of the people he met who could be called friends, Gu Liang's desire to survive was gradually aroused. beautiful.
There are many beautiful little happiness worth pursuing, which he has never noticed before.
For example, in this game, when he saw the clear, clean but lifeless lake in the rest area park, he would think of the carp that swam in the shallow river in the community where he used to live.
Only then did he discover that when he was in the mortal world, a bird passing by by chance, wild flowers blooming on the roadside on the way home from get off work...all actually showed the beauty of life. It's just that he hadn't noticed it before, never noticed it.
In addition, when he found out that he liked Yang Ye, he felt more and more that being alive was something worth pursuing and looking forward to.
But what Gu Liang didn't know was that when he said these words with his back to the door panel, Yang Ye, who was back to back with him through the door panel, raised his head, and his eyes turned red at that moment.
Yang Ye has basically never cried in his life, but now because of Gu Liang's words, his heart hurts so much that he wants to cry.
He was heartbroken for Gu Liang - when Gu Haohao couldn't think of living, if he found out that he was already dead, how uncomfortable would he be
His Gu Liangliang is not afraid of anything, but he is a little afraid of ghosts.
What should he do if he finds out that he himself is actually a ghost now
Exhaling a breath, Gu Liang turned around and faced the door panel.
Finally said it.
It doesn't seem too difficult.
Gu Liang knew in his heart that if he didn't wake up with the Duke's dream, when he thought he would never see Yang Ye again, he might not be aware of his heart.
Then, when he has already noticed it, there is no need to avoid and struggle.
Gu Liang spoke with a very soft voice: "I promised you before that I will give you an answer when the script is over. I don't know how to say that kind of thing. I don't have experience and I don't know what other people are like... But you should understand what I meant?"
