That night, there was heavy rain and thunder, countless splashes splashed in the swimming pool outside the villa, lightning crossed the sky from time to time, and rolling thunder came from the distant mountains.
Tianhe turned on the light, and Guan Yue brushed his hair. On the second floor of the holiday villa, Tong Kai, Jiang Zijian, and Tianhe formed a circle, facing Wen Tianyue, who was sitting on the sofa and covering his face with a whiskey glass.
"I want to have a chat with my brother alone." Wen Tianyue said vaguely and politely with cotton stuffed in his nose, "Can you avoid me for a while?"
"It's inconvenient, one vote to veto it." Guan Yue said coldly, "Let's talk about business first. Everyone here is a shareholder of Epeus."
Tianhe watched Wen Tianyue silently.
"There is another person with very few shares," Jiang Zijian said, "He entrusted me to exercise voting rights on his behalf."
"Okay," Wen Tianyue said, "you insist on listening."
Guan Yue: "Be careful what you say, it depends on whether I will continue to beat you."
Tianhe: "Stop fighting!"
Wen Tianyue drank some wine soaked in ice cubes, picked up the wine glass, and applied compresses on his eye sockets, and said, "I may be broken by you."
Tong Kai: "I strongly suggest that you go to the whole house before returning to China, otherwise the creditors will come to your door and strangle you to death."
"Ah, no-may-possible." Wen Tianyue's relaxed tone was exactly the same as Tianhe's, "For such a luxurious team building, my brother-in-law must have paid off the debt for me. People, they are following the trend, adoring others Low, I bet if I go back now, not only will they not trouble me, but one or two will continue to wag their tails to curry favor with me."
Jiang Zijian is quite familiar with Tianyue, and Jiang Chaosheng also likes Tianyue very much. Since Wen Tianyue took care of the Wenjia property, the two have cooperated very closely, and the villa group in Queenstown is one of them. Jiang Zijian has always regarded Tianyue as an elder since he was a child, so he couldn't say too much for a while, so he could only say angrily: "Brother Tianyue! You almost ruined Tianhe's life."
Tianhe: "Everything about me before Epeus's rebirth was given to me by him, there is nothing to destroy."
He was just ten years old when his father died, and there was a lot of discussion with the Wen family outside. Classmates, friends, and even tutors are discussing in private. Although Tianhe was only a child at the time, he knew very well what kind of situation he was in—everyone said that the Wen family was doomed.
Everyone was staring at Epeus, staring at the huge family property left by Wen Yuankai. The only heirs are a fifteen-year-old son who is underage, and a ten-year-old child who seems to have autism. Within two or three years, the decline is a matter of time. The veterans in the company have even made up their minds to divide up the Wen family's wealth.
Back then, Guan Zhengping hardly took care of things. Except for the technical problems of the team under his guidance, he spent most of his time as a shopkeeper. But as Aunt Fang said, the three brothers of the Wen family are all geniuses. On the first day Wen Tianyue became the company's CEO, he quickly stabilized the situation, played dumb to fool the veterans, and then recruited a financial Messi, and pried off the vice president of the wall, and turned to himself this side.
Guan Zhengping held the core secrets and gradually released them to Wen Tianyue, so after a period of time, Wen Tianyue hid his strengths and bided his time, and launched a big purge of Epeus's top management, taking back the rights that should have belonged to him. And successfully invested in the real estate industry and the Internet industry that everyone was short-sighted back then, financing, acquisitions...fudged the government, and snowballed the inheritance left by his father to a new height. In just a few years, the various bosses who originally thought that Wen Tianyue would become a prodigal son began to fight for a breakthrough in order to vote for Epeus.
Of course, there are advantages and disadvantages. Wen Tianyue's cleansing of the company also delayed Epeus's listing plan again, and caused the final capital chain to break.
Wen Tianyue has been walking step by step in these years, and he is quite clear in his heart. After Guan Zhengping retreated bravely to pursue an ideal life, Epeus is already a bit dangerous. It is all supported by the advanced technical achievements of his father and Guan Zhengping back then. Strong, he can only rely on the talent of his little brother Wen Tianhe, and when Tianhe returns, all the crises will be resolved.
However, it was only a little bit worse.
Tianhe's mood is quite complicated. Ever since his second brother took over the family business, he has never treated him badly. If it weren't for the second brother, during that time, I could only live under the fence of my uncle's family, watching the eyes of my stepfather or aunt. During that time in London, as long as Tianhe was willing, Wen Tianyue never asked him how to spend his money.
Although it was related to Yue's care, Tianhe knew in his heart that a large part of the reason why the elders of his uncle's family and Guan's family treated him so politely was because Wen Tianyue was behind him. It was also because of Wen Tianyue's unconditional love for him that Tianhe was able to say "I can pay the bill myself" to Guan Yue.
How could Tianhe hate his second brother
"Under the circumstances at the time, I could only do this." Wen Tianyue said, "If I don't run away and stay in the country, any benefactor who wants to support you will hesitate and think twice."
Tianhe: "You also know that your credit is bankrupt?"
Wen Tianyue: "Credit will never exist. When you go bankrupt, it only depends on whether you gain power or lose power. As long as I return to China with 10 billion US dollars, the heads of those institutions will definitely hold their hands and use them as ashtrays for me." Use, believe it or not?"
Wen Tianyue flicked his cigar with his feet crossed, his nose bruised and his face swollen.
"I know you don't hate me, baby." Wen Tianyue said, "I saw my brother, why don't you come up and give me a hug?"
Tianhe let out a breath, and looked at Guan Yue wearily.
Wen Tianyue: "At the beginning, I guessed that you really didn't know what to do in the face of this mess, so you could only ask Guan Yue. And as long as I'm not around, Guan Yue will definitely make a move. Look, isn't that the truth? Is it just that another lawyer popped up out of nowhere... I really didn't expect it, hey, brother lawyer, I heard you are still a member of the royal family?"
Tong Kai stood on the side of the sofa, staring at Wen Tianyue.
"The investigation is very clear." Tong Kai said, "I am the vice president of your brother's company."
Wen Tianyue said to Guan Yue again: "Guan Yue, you are the one who should thank me the most. If I hadn't run away early, I don't think you will have the chance to save my brother in your life."
"Shut up!" Tianhe couldn't bear it anymore.
"Yes," Guan Yue said, "I really appreciate you."
Tianhe: "..."
Guan Yue said seriously: "But you still don't know me well. Whether you're here or not, as long as Tianhe is willing to find me and I can help, I won't watch him being bullied. You are already a loser the moment you start collecting debts, and I never waste my precious time laughing at losers."
Wen Tianyue said with a smile: "Of course, it would be better if I'm not here. Look? You have gained my brother's dependence and also taken over my company. Now you have everything, the reputation in the industry, the love and affection of my baby." His talent, all the benefits of the future Epeus…”
Guan Yue: "Thank you for being so selfless and giving me everything."
Wen Tianyue said: "It's not a foregone conclusion, dear, first of all, you are not married yet. Secondly, Epeus may not be able to earn the amount you want, and it may still be a loss-making business. If the performance is not up to standard, it is difficult to dare Did you take Prometheus out and sell it?"
Tianhe: "!!!"
Wen Tianyue: "?"
"You know Pu Luo?" Guan Yue frowned.
Wen Tianyue signaled Tianhe to ask again later, and said suspiciously to Guan Yue: "Guan Yue, I don't think you can last long, you are too arrogant, this will be an incentive to destroy you. Now you are very The scenery has everything, but the one who cleans up the mess in the end is still me. The last laugh, the best laugh, don't believe me, let's wait and see?"
Tianhe said: "What do you mean? Explain clearly!"
Guan Yue remained silent, frowning deeply, staring at Wen Tianyue.
Wen Tianyue put down his wine glass and lazily said: "If I'm not wrong, this guy must be trying to get a lot of money to smash his opponent to death. This is a harbinger of defeat."
Tianhe showed a shocked expression.
"You know everything." Tong Kai frowned.
Wen Tianyue: "Of course I know, people are not with you, but domestic news is not difficult to find out, including Guan Yue's resignation from Qingsong, and Andy wants to fix your affairs. How can he fix it? It's nothing more than taking away the technical achievements of Epeus To be honest, I just came to Queenstown last week, and I stayed in Washington for a long time before, so it’s not surprising to hear these gossips, right? Guan Yue, let me give you a piece of advice.”
Wen Tianyue finished the remaining wine in the glass, put down the glass, and said with a smile: "Never forget that when you think you are sure of winning, it is the time when you are most likely to die by the side of the road. Everyone is studying finance. Remember those giant books we read when we were undergraduates? How many are still alive now?"
Guan Yue sneered.
Wen Tianyue gloated and said, "Almost all of them are dead. Don't you hurry up and publish an autobiography before you collapse? People who try to manipulate the market will die under the crush of the market one day."
Tianhe: "A loser who went bankrupt and ran away, I really can't think of your position to give the so-called 'advice' to the successful... Guan Yue?!"
Guan Yue got up silently and left the room.
Wen Tianyue still had that begging smile on his face, and said, "I'm talking about the central issue."
Tong Kai thought for a while and replied: "Let's put it this way, Wen Tianyue, you are indeed a talent, and I like you."
Wen Tianyue smiled and said: "I knew you would like me, forget about it, it's rare for brothers to reunite, and the old employees of Epeus have not seen each other for a long time, why don't we have a party?"
The remaining three left separately, leaving Wen Tianyue in the room.
"You see, I'm right," Prow said. "He won't help you because your interests conflict greatly."
Guan Yue was wearing earphones and pajamas, standing in front of the window with a Band-Aid on his side face.
Pu Luo: "However, I think Tianyue is right about your arrogance. The next thing is the biggest test you will face."
Guan Yue looked back at the door, Tianhe didn't go back to his room, so Guan Yue pushed the door open, went downstairs, saw Tianhe sitting by a tea table in the courtyard, looking up at the rain that was falling in the middle of the night. But Wen Tianyue had already walked over first, and sat beside Tianhe with a Martell and a foreign wine glass filled with ice cubes.
Pro: "I think you don't mind if I hear what they're going to discuss."
"Never mind." Guan Yue said coldly, and turned back to the room. He sat silently on the edge of the bed, and saw a small envelope on the bedside table with "Happy Birthday" written on it in Tianhe's handwriting. Open it. glanced.
Inside is a photo of the two of them chasing each other while paddling water in Wellington.
It's like the heart-shaped starlight scattered by Wall-E and Eva in space.
In the courtyard corridor.
"Let's talk." Wen Tianyue said, "Congratulations, you are with Guan Yue again. Although he is a chauvinist, at this stage, I have to admit that he is the most suitable for you. I haven't seen you in half a year. You It’s just completely reborn, much more stable.”
"What's there to talk about?" Tianhe said calmly, "My whole life was given to me by you and Guan Yue. In front of you two, do I have any right to choose?"
Wen Tianyue smiled and said: "Don't say that, you have a share of what Dad left behind."
Tianhe replied: "I don't think a ten-year-old child can protect himself from being calculated."
Wen Tianyue: "Well... baby, it seems that you have grown up a lot in the past six months."
Tianhe said indifferently: "Sometimes I feel like I'm a pet you both keep. Forget it, let's not talk about it, you always knew about Pu Luo's existence?"
Wen Tianyue: "I know, but I've never seen it before. Have some drink?" He said and poured wine for Tianhe.
"Prometheus was designed by Uncle Guan Zhengping and Dad." Wen Tianyue said, "They have made this AI for many years, and now it appears? Can you let me see it?"
Tianhe: "Be clear first." He picked up the glass and drank some wine, but he never looked at Wen Tianyue.
Wen Tianyue scratched his head and said: "Well, Uncle Guan said that this AI is far from ready to be produced, and I'm not allowed to use it as a technological achievement to value it. Although I think it must be a very remarkable thing. stuff... But, I respect his opinion."
Tianhe: "That's because you don't know where it is, otherwise you would have turned it upside down and taken it to the road show."
Wen Tianyue: "Ah, please don't expose me, please?"
Tianhe: "About Puluo, what else did they say?"
Wen Tianyue spread his hands and said, "Before Uncle Guan Zhengping left, he said that after this AI upgrades itself and feels appropriate, it will naturally come to face the whole world. By then, this technological achievement will be unprecedented. Epeus The status of the world is almost unimaginable."
"... But the premise must be 'the right time'." Wen Tianyue said, "So let me stop wishful thinking and make software well. And the server unit can only guarantee the technical needs in the next ten years, beyond this period Time, you have to spend money to continue to upgrade it. This is too expensive, it costs more than 90 million yuan a year, how can it stand such a burn? Although the unit can also be used for quantitative trading software, I really don’t need it Such a high-performance machine is not as good as a private server to play games."
Tianhe: "This is not the reason for you to bankrupt the company at all, why didn't you tell me earlier?"
Wen Tianyue had a Band-Aid on the bridge of his nose, and spread his hands innocently: "You said you don't want to take care of the company's administration, why bother you with such things? Hmm?"
Tianhe remained silent, Wen Tianyue said: "Based on what I know about Guan Yue now, he will definitely fight the guy who took over his Qingsong partner for you. This is simply looking for death. The enemy's father He is a member of Congress who will be re-elected soon, and he has first-hand news about the trend, Guan Yue relies on himself, how can he outperform others?"
"And I have reason to suspect," Wen Tianyue smiled mischievously, "Those fund bosses who were eyeing tigers set up a trap to provoke Guan Yue to come out to die after he left Qingsong. Eat and clean up with the Guan family. In this way, Guan Yue's money was laundered into their pockets, and the core technological achievements of Epeus were obtained, tsk tsk tsk... Really, what a deal! It's perfect!"
"Where is Uncle Guan Zhengping, is there any news?" Tianhe asked suddenly.
Wen Tianyue replied: "No, have you pursued his ideals? Although I don't think it's a problem to distribute part of the company's shares to Guan Yue, I'm a little surprised that you also gave him a veto right. Uh, I Personally, I think it's better to keep this in your own hands, otherwise if one day he goes crazy, you will definitely regret why you didn't retain this right in the first place, and you can control him in time."
Tianhe: "Shut up, I don't want to talk to you about this anymore."
Wen Tianyue sat upright, facing Tianhe, turned his handsome face sideways, and said with a smile to Tianhe, "Is that like when I was a child?"
Tianhe finally turned his head to look at his second brother.
Wen Tianyue pointed to the side of his face, and Tianhe slapped him resoundingly.
Wen Tianyue turned the other side of his face, and Tianhe slapped him again, leaving a red palm print.
Wen Tianyue lowered his head slightly, stroked his forehead hair, turned his forehead to Tianhe, and said, "Kiss?"
It was a nonsense game played by the two brothers when they were young. When Tianhe was two or three years old, he always liked to hit Tianyue when he was ignorant, and kissed him on the forehead after beating.
Then, Tianhe splashed the wine in the glass with ice cubes on the face of the second brother, got up and left, leaving Tianyue sitting in a state of embarrassment, wiped the wine from his face, and smiled helplessly.
The room was lit with warm reading lights. Guan Yue was dressed in pajamas, leaning against the head of the bed, wearing a pair of Google glasses, looking down at the data on the iPad. The lines of words on the iPad kept scrolling up, and the fonts and words flashed on the glasses. Analyze content.
Tianhe lay down on the bed, Guan Yue pressed it off, took off his glasses, put away his things, looked sideways at Tianhe, and stared at his collarbone under his pajamas.
Tianhe: "What should I do?"
Tianhe really didn't know how to get along with his second brother.
Guan Yue: "You decide."
Tianhe said helplessly: "I just can't decide, what do you think?"
Guan Yue: "Right now, I only want to have sex, and I can't think about anything else."
Tianhe laughed loudly, Guan Yue turned over and pressed on Tianhe.
"Are you afraid that I'll be hurt?!" Why did Tianhe feel tired every day for the past two days, but once Guan Yue hugged him, he didn't want to struggle anymore.
The next day, the bus departed for the tourist attraction.
"Why didn't Mr. Guan come?" Colleagues were discussing.
Messi said: "They have something to do today, and they will come later!"
The entrance of the villa.
Wen Tianyue thought that Tianhe would let him follow the company's tour group to build a team together, and go home happily after the end, but it seemed that Tianhe didn't mean it at all—woke up in the morning, Wen Tianyue dragged his suitcase and stood outside the door, but Tianhe got into the car and said to Wen Tianyue, "I'm leaving, there will be a period later, take care of yourself."
Wen Tianyue was dumbfounded immediately, after the car drove away, Wen Tianyue realized that he chased the car and ran out.
"Don't go home!" Tianhe poked his head out and shouted at his second brother, "No one will open the door for you! We have already called the police! The whole of China is looking for you!"
On the road around the lake, Tianhe was driving, and Wen Tianyue was panting after chasing after the off-road vehicle.
Wen Tianyue: "Tianhe!"
Tianhe glanced at the rear mirror, Wen Tianyue said: "Hey! Hey! Brother! You don't care about me?"
Tianhe drove slowly, Wen Tianyue chased after him, Tianhe kicked the accelerator again, and drove the off-road vehicle away.
Wen Tianyue finally realized that his younger brother was playing tricks on him, slowed down, dragged his suitcase forward, and said, "Baby, I know you..."
Tianhe opened the trunk door of the off-road vehicle and carried his second brother's luggage up. Wen Tianyue breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "Actually, I miss you very much, but I don't know when you will be with Guan Yue..."
Tianhe took out a rope.
Wen Tianyue: "..."
Five minutes later, Wen Tianyue ran behind the off-road vehicle with his hands tied and dragged by a rope.
Another car was parked on the mountainside, Guan Yue, Jiang Zijian, and Tong Kai watched from afar.
"Too cruel," Tong Kai's mouth twitched, "You must not mess with him."
Jiang Zijian: "..."
Tianhe drove the off-road vehicle slowly for five kilometers, and Wen Tianyue stopped panting.
Tianhe made a gesture of invitation, untied the rope, let the second brother get in the car, the other car stopped, and Guan Yue came to drive.
Wen Tianyue had a premonition that something bad was going on, and said, "Where are we going next?"
An hour later, Nevis Gorge.
The staff tied the rope on Wen Tianyue's body.
Wen Tianyue: "Bungee jumping is actually... not bad, so you won't be angry after brother jumping?"
Tianhe pushed his second brother, Wen Tianyue yelled and fell straight down.
"Is the other end of the rope tied..."
noon.
Wen Tianyue: "At least let me have lunch..."
Tianhe: "After two more jumps, dinner will be served. Now the anger value has dropped to 40%."
Guan Yue, Tong Kai, and Jiang Zijian were sitting at the side, Tong Kai and Jiang Zijian were trembling a little, Tianhe pushed his second brother down again with a blank expression.
After lunch, Wen Tianyue thought for a while, looked at Tianhe, and asked, "How much is the baby's anger gauge left now? Has it returned to zero?"
During afternoon tea time, the door of the plane was opened, and a strong wind blew in. Wen Tianyue was tied to the female coach.
"Take care of him!" Tianhe shouted to the coach.
The coach said "OK", Wen Tianyue yelled again, and the coach jumped out with Wen Tianyue.
After twelve bungee jumps and seven skydives, Tianhe's anger level finally returned to zero, and Wen Tianyue finally vomited.
that night.
"Mr. Smell!"
"Mr. Wen!" Macy exclaimed, "You're back! What's wrong with you?"
The chief assistant said: "Oh my God! President Wen! What have you experienced these days? Why is your face so bad?! Are you sick?"
Wen Tianyue shook hands with the employees of Epeus, waved hurriedly, and rushed to the toilet to retch for a while.
"He's pregnant," Tianhe said seriously, "so it's a bit uncomfortable."
Everyone: "..."
Next, Wen Tianyue joined the company team building as he wished.
"How do you know he's in Queenstown?"
On the day he left Wellington, Tianhe suddenly remembered and asked Guan Yue. Looking suspiciously at Wen Tianyue at the airport, Wen Tianyue took aim at Liao Shan, and they were chatting happily with Liao Shan.
Guan Yue: "Messi told me that the former vice president of Epeus, that gambler might have news about him."
Tianhe remembered that the second brother had always believed in the former vice president of Epeus, and they might still keep in touch after running away.
"Then you went to find him?" Tianhe said.
Guan Yue: "The vice president is currently working as the operations director of a start-up company invested by Qingsong Investment. I know the owner of the company. I asked someone to take him out for a drink. After he got drunk, he spoke out."
Tianhe said "um", and Guan Yue said again: "Tianyue is almost out of money, and he is looking for someone to borrow money. After leaving Washington, he decided to come to New Zealand because your family's resort is here. Messi said , When Tianyue brought him to Queenstown for inspection, he met the owner of a Spanish winery. I guess he will go to the winery sooner or later instead of going to the resort."
Tianhe: "You should have told me in advance."
Guan Yue dragged the suitcase through the security check, and said, "What if you don't get caught? It will only disappoint you."
Pro said in Guan Yue's headset: "It's a perfect answer, he should believe it now."
Tianhe: "But I noticed that you often wear headphones recently?"
Guan Yue held Tianhe's hand, thought for a while, took off the earphones, and handed them to him.
Tian He took the earphones, but did not put them on, and looked at Guan Yue suspiciously.
"Tell me, you didn't lie to me," Tianhe said, "otherwise I will be angry."
Guan Yue: "?"
Guan Yue was a little puzzled, and said, "What did you lie to? Why did you lie to you?"
The two sides were quiet for a few seconds, Tianhe smiled, returned the headset to Guan Yue, and continued walking. Guan Yue hesitated for a second, then suddenly said, "Baby."
Tianhe turned his head, saw Guan Yue's eyes, and was speechless for a long time.
Pu Luo: "Guan Yue, you broke your promise to me."
Tianhe took the earphones, trembling with his hands, and put them on his ears.
"Pu Luo?" Tianhe trembled.
There was no sound from the headset, Tianhe looked up at Guan Yue in disbelief, and Guan Yue immediately spread his hands politely.
"I didn't say anything." Guan Yue said.
In an instant, the entire waiting hall resounded with a symphony, and all the pedestrians stopped at the same time.
Libiamo's roaring music swept like a storm, and then the music stopped, and in the silence, Pavarotti's thick voice sounded—
Tianhe looked around, the airport was empty under the dome, and the LED screens around him bloomed with gorgeous rotating flowers, and all the LED walls in all directions showed mountains and seas—sunrises were shining brightly, and sperm whales jumped out of the endless sea, paddling Make an arc.
From the security check to the terminal building and duty-free shops, the LED screens are turned on one by one. The invisible magician descended silently, like the hand of God, whereever it touched, all the green leaves in the airport trembled with the sound of music.
"Pu Luo!" Tianhe roared angrily, "You bastard!"
Immediately afterwards, the tide-like singing voices divided into parts, concentrated around Tianhe, and brought Tianhe's spiritual consciousness to the grand world... From the mountains to the peaks of raging waves; from hurricanes to lightning; from shore to shore; From snowfall to flower bloom—
From where you are, to the end of the world.
As soon as the music stopped, Pro's voice rang through the airport.
"Seeing you happy makes me happy too, dear Tianhe."
—Second movement·End—
