The arrogance of the city

Chapter 1686
"Dong dong dong..."

There was a soft knock on the door.

"Please come in."

The office door was pushed open.

Cai Hongli, head of Huangrui Group, walked in.

Hearing the sound of high heels, Nalan Mingzhu turned around, saw Cai Hongli, and smiled in surprise.

"Cai Dong, why are you here?"

This question is rather strange.

This is Huangrui Group, and Cai Hongli is the leader of Huangrui. It seems reasonable for her to appear here, but in fact, Cai Hongli has basically rarely stayed in the company in the past year or so.

When reaching the extreme in a field, people tend to pursue other things. After Huangrui Group passed through that period of ups and downs, Cai Hongli began to be the shopkeeper and handed over the group to Na Lan Mingzhu took care of it. As for herself, she started to travel around the world, devoted herself to public welfare undertakings, and began to pursue spiritual pursuits. She even went to support education in backward mountainous areas for a period of time.

Time flies.

But her appearance has not changed much. On the contrary, after more and more life experiences, her face and temperament have become more and more charming.

"Come and see you."

Cai Hongli approached with a smile, as if she had come out of the pain.

Yes.

Time is the best healer.

Calculate the time.

Five years have passed since the former head of Huangrui passed away.

"Cai Dong should have just returned from the Muye Grassland, right?"

Nalan Pearl asked with a smile.

Cai Hongli nodded.

"Actually, after living in the city for a long time, I really should go and have a look close to nature. The sky there is really as clean as a mirror. There, people's hearts seem to have been baptized. There are boundless grasslands and The horses are the same as in the painting, I recommend that you go there if you have the chance, the herdsmen there are really hospitable.”

Nalan Pearl smiled.

"Then why didn't Director Cai play there for a while longer?"

"As I said, just call me Sister Cai."

"But it's working hours..."

Cai Hongli's relationship with Nalan Mingzhu is similar to the relationship between Bole and Maxima, but the public is public and private is private.

When Mu Qingyu was alive, Cai Hongli was not allowed to overstep in any way at work, and after Cai Hongli took office, she did not break her sister's rules.

"really?"

Cai Hongli smiled and asked, "Are you sure?"

Nalan Mingzhu subconsciously raised her wrist to look at the time, and then smiled.

"It turns out it's already 06:30."

"Work is work. But you can't forget to eat and sleep. If you are tired, where can I find such a good helper? Look at you, you haven't eaten yet, right? Let's go and eat. I'll treat you. Just treat me as someone who doesn't rely on me." Boss Pu, reward outstanding employees."

Nalan Mingzhu smiled, then packed up her things, and found a restaurant with Cai Hongli.

"Mingzhu, how old are you this year?"

After ordering, Cai Hongli asked like gossip.

"28."

Nalan Pearl replied.

Cai Hongli stared at her.

That look is not like a superior looking at his subordinates, but more like a sister looking at his younger sister.

"It's already 28, I really don't know it..."

"Sister Cai, in my impression, you have always been a strong and independent female representative. You are an idol I learned from. Sad spring and autumn are things that ordinary people do. You don't want to lament that time goes by. Is it easy to get old when you are young?"

From Nalan Mingzhu's tone, it can be heard that the relationship between the two women is indeed very good.

"Idol? Then you really picked the wrong person."

Cai Hongli shook her head and smiled.

"I've been quite a failure my whole life, and there's nothing you can learn from it."

As the chairman of Huangrui, the youngest business leader in China and even in the world, perhaps only Cai Hongli would use the word failure to describe herself.

"Sister Cai, don't say that. If your words get out, I'm afraid it will spark an upsurge of discussion again."

Nalan Mingzhu took a sip of water.

I don't know if it's pure dislike or extreme self-discipline, no matter what the occasion, Nalan Mingzhu only drinks water and doesn't touch alcohol.

"By the way, there was a terrorist attack in country M not long ago, have you heard about it?"

Cai Hongli asked suddenly.

Nalan Pearl nodded.

"Such a big event is reported in the news. It is said that the West is the land of freedom and democracy. After this incident, I am afraid that not many people will regard the West as an ideal paradise."

Cai Hongli stared at that young and beautiful face.

"It is indeed cruel when ideals become a piece of scorched earth, but the cruelest thing is that, knowing that what you are after is a ruin, you still deceive yourself and others to regard it as the paradise you yearn for."

Nalan Mingzhu put down the water glass, raised her head, and stared at the woman who was also alone with her.

"But, when a person is alive, he must find something to rely on, doesn't he?"

"I used to be the same as you. I thought that I was alive like a walking dead, so I always wanted to grab something and use it as the motivation to live. No matter what the result was, I didn't want to think about it. But later, I understood a truth .”

"Sister Cai, what exactly do you want to say?"

Nalan Mingzhu said softly.

"Actually, I originally planned to stay in Muye Grassland for another month. Do you know why I chose to come back halfway?"

Nalan Mingzhu asked: "Why?"

"God Song Luo."

Cai Hongli uttered a name that once dominated the business world and now dominates the political arena.

"But the one I thought of?"

Cai Hongli nodded.

"You should have heard of her. She is two years older than you and two years younger than me. She has just passed thirty and has become a powerful giant. Perhaps in the future, she will make history again."

Cai Hongli sighed: "She seems to be born specifically to break the rules. Living with her in the same era is a kind of misfortune for us women, but it is also a great blessing."

The country is so beautiful, but the existence of Song Luoshen is like the most dazzling skylight, making other women eclipsed by it.

"I also know that Mr. Song, you and Sister Cai used to be sisters."

Nalan Pearl laughed.

Cai Hongli nodded, and said without hesitation: "Yes, we used to be competitors, but unfortunately, she chose to give up business halfway and chose an official career. Perhaps many people think that she can achieve what she is today, but she Because of an extraordinary background, but there are so many wealthy families in the Dragon Kingdom, and there are tens of thousands of wealthy families, how many of them can reach her level?"

"Sister Cai, do you admire her very much? Admire an enemy of your own?"

"enemy?"

Cai Hongli was silent for a while, and said softly: "Mingzhu, maybe I once regarded her as an enemy, but even when I hated her the most, I still admired her. This has nothing to do with hatred. There are many things about her that deserve my attention." One of the things to learn is to let go of hatred."

"Her family once imprisoned her and interfered with her freedom of marriage. The current head of the Song Group once led people to arrest her, and I, as well as the Huangrui Group, have given her more than one She has caused trouble, and with her current position, it is easy to deal with us, but she didn't."

"Sister Cai, I admit that she is the most outstanding woman in this era, but now we have nothing to do with her. What you said is already a thing of the past."

Cai Hongli smiled and repeated.

"Me and her. It's really a long time ago."

Nalan Pearl's eyes flickered.

"Mingzhu, there is no impenetrable wall in the world, and when you face an opponent who is no less intelligent than you, and when this opponent controls power far beyond your own, then it will be very difficult for you to do anything. to true silence."

Nalan Pearl did not speak.

"God Song Luo does have a heart that exceeds ordinary people, but this does not mean that she is kind, she will forgive, but those things that she no longer cares about, or that no longer pose a threat to her."

"Sister Cai, I don't quite understand what you mean."

"It's okay, you just need to understand one truth."

Cai Hongli stared at Nalan Mingzhu, as if she was staring at her former self.

"Like you, I have lost loved ones, and I have been so sad that I want to die. I have also thought that I have to do something for the death of my loved ones. But then I realized that the underground people want to die. It’s not that we do something for them, their greatest wish. I’m afraid it’s for us to live a good life with their hobbies towards us until we are very old.”

Nalan Mingzhu pursed her lips tightly and remained silent.
