Abnormal Doomsday Records

Chapter 118 51. Losers always wail, so why not wail more beautifully?
"Your boss left, aren't you going to go with him?"

On the second floor of the apartment, in Qiao Ya's room, she stood by the window and watched little Aqiaoli board the aircraft. She turned her head and said to the distraught Weng Meiyu behind her:

"He seems to be waiting for you."

"."

Weng Meiyu said nothing and continued to sit on the chair with her head down. She didn't even clean the dirt off her body or change her dirty evening dress, even though Qiao Ya had already placed the change of clothes next to her.

It seemed as if she was hit hard, and her soul left her charming body in disappointment. Although she was silent, Qiao Ya could still hear her cries. This Weng Meiyu was indeed a witch. It would be strange if Qiao Ya felt pity for her miserable posture at this moment!
Her guardian is Zhou Ke. Don't expect a guy like that to raise a decent child.

"Hey, talk."

Qiao Ya looked back at her and reminded her:
"If you don't get down now, it will be too late. Little Acholi left the door of the aircraft open for you. It has been hanging in the yard for almost a minute. Do you really want the surface governor to wait for you to change your mind in the middle of the night?"

“He just”

Weng Meiyu rubbed her brows and finally spoke:

"I am now boarding that aircraft and will return to my old life. It is an open birdcage, Xiaoya. He is waiting for the greedy little bird that cannot survive on its own to fly out and starve to death, and then return obediently to his palm.

This is just a game, and my soul is on the table.

Do you really think I should go back?"

"Oh, so that's the subtext? I've learned something. The adult world is really complicated."

Qiao Ya blinked and said:
"But do you think your original life was not good enough? You don't have to worry about anything. You have endless money and respect from others. You don't have to worry about the Weng Group's mess dragging you and your brother into it again. Mr. Weng said that your brother's crime was not caused by him.

Even though that old man was a bad guy, I felt that there was no need for him to lie to me, whom he met for the first time, about such a thing.

He actually thinks highly of you and has been paying attention to you over the years."

"That's just because he has no one else to choose from, Xiaoya."

Weng Meiyu held the teacup and whispered:

"After you showed up, he found you right away and bewitched you to try to get you to fight me, so that he could see what you were capable of and get rid of an unstable factor in the Weng family. He never intended to hand over the power of the family to me, even though, as he said, the Weng Group was only a shell."

"Uh"

Qiao Ya hesitated for a moment and said:
"But do you think the Third Master did something wrong?"

This question, which was almost a direct response, did not make Weng Meiyu angry. She was in a depressed state of "losing everything" and even entered a strange state of automatic reflection. Facing Qiao Ya's question, she raised her head and said:

"Before, I would just think that the old man was crazy, a monster who wanted to cling to power even in his grave, but now maybe I am crazy, I suddenly think that he has some reason to look down on me.

You see, I worked so hard for so long, and thought I was smart, but I was kicked out just when things were about to be accomplished.

They had reached an agreement, and it turned out that they could work together without me.

If something can be successfully completed without my participation, it means that I am not important in this matter at all.

I felt like a clown, trying to be smart in front of little Acholi, Zhou Ke and Moni. Such a good opportunity was in front of me, and I was only one step away from joining the real core decision-making circle of the city-state area.

Just one step away.”

"Well, Meiyu, let me say something that might undermine your confidence."

Qiao Ya leaned against the window and said to Weng Meiyu who was reflecting on herself:

“I think you’re still far from it. Not to mention Zhou Ke, you haven’t even passed Moni.

We are from the Bad Land, and our way of thinking is different from yours. It is normal that you cannot understand what he is thinking, but you have been with the Archon for so long, but you still don't understand what little Acholi wants.

Zhou Ke has reminded you so many times that the conflict between him and the Shunguang Organization is by no means just a simple power struggle. He has reminded you to look into this aspect carefully, but you haven't spent any extra effort on this aspect, right?
In the conversation before the action, he specifically asked you to start with that psychic.

But you still didn't do it.

You stubbornly believe that your judgment is correct, and have been trying to gain benefits for yourself in this transaction with a power-grabbing mindset.

To put it nicely, this is called a strong mind, but if you can't even listen to advice... Well, in short, you think you know little Acholi very well, but it turns out that you know him better than Zhou Ke did when you first met him after being with him for several years.

Sister, it’s really hard to describe how you look at men.”

"So, what you're saying is that I shouldn't retain even the last bit of confidence in my charm after all the blows I've suffered?"

Weng Meiyu looked at Qiao Ya.

There was a fire in her eyes, and she seemed to want to refute, but she lost her temper the next second, lowered her head dejectedly, and said:

"Well, what you said does make some sense. Even though he reminded me many times, I still stubbornly held on to my own opinion and missed the important factors.

Zhou Ke is right.

Little Acholi did not target the Flash Organization out of a power struggle, that was just an appearance. I, like everyone else, was blinded by the appearance, which allowed me to only stay at the level of little Acholi's life at most, but unable to penetrate into the most secret corners of his soul.

This makes it difficult for me to gain more trust.

The stupidest thing is that I have always been satisfied with this position and have no plans to go any further.

Since I was a child, I have always prided myself on understanding men's hearts very well. This is my most advantageous weapon and I am very good at using it. I probably asked for trouble by failing over it in the end.

Xiaoya, do you think I should go down?

Should I go back to my old life and be content to be the canary in little Acholi's palm? "

"I don't think you should. You are capable of living well on your own. There is no need to tie yourself to someone else."

Qiao Ya stepped forward and comforted her:
“But it’s not a good idea for you to stay here. Zhou Ke has reached a cooperation agreement with Little Acholi. To put it bluntly, you are useless now. What else can you do by staying here?
He doesn't trust you. Even if you climb onto the bed on your own initiative, he will kick you down. What's more, I don't think D-4 will allow you to get close to Zhou Ke at will.

So, you have to think about what to do next.

If you don't plan to live the same way as before, you have to hurry up and do something. Little Acholi won't wait for you down there forever. In fact, he can wait for you there for a few minutes. I think he still has feelings for you.

And when you were in danger, didn’t he come to rescue you first?

Actually, it’s nice to have a boyfriend who loves you like this.”

"But a relationship that can't last can only give you a little comfort while it's still warm. There will always be a time when you are tired of each other. I don't think I can always occupy a place in his life with this."

Weng Meiyu stood up and said:
“I definitely had to make a change.”

"Then what are you going to do?"

Qiao Ya looked at her cousin.

Although her relationship with Weng Meiyu was not very close, she was still willing to help if she could when this guy was at his lowest point. Even from the most utilitarian point of view, providing timely assistance is much better than adding icing on the cake.

And now Master Weng has noticed her.

If Qiao Ya does not intend to act according to the plan of the bad old man, then she needs a trustworthy helper. When it comes to matters related to the Weng family, no one is more suitable than Weng Meiyu, "the most rebellious member of the family."

Facing Qiao Ya's question, Weng Meiyu waved her hand and said:

"I don't know! But I can't just leave little Acholi there. A man's face is more important than anything else. I have to provide him with some emotional value."

"You want to get on that aircraft?"

Qiao Ya was a little disappointed and said:

"Isn't this going back to the old ways? You said it yourself. If you follow him back, you will only return to the previous state. He will not give you more power beyond your status, because you have already proved that you are a little clever but not capable of taking on big responsibilities."

“So we have to make up for it in other ways.”

Weng Meiyu narrowed her eyes and her little brain started working rapidly. After a moment, she had an idea. She ran out and knocked on Moni's door. Then she rushed in, took some things and ran out again amid the screams of Moni and Amanda.

Qiao Ya stood by the window holding a cup of tea, watching Weng Meiyu walk out of the living room with a fragile and pitiful look.

She walked towards the aircraft but did not get on. Instead, she handed something in her hand to little Acholi on the aircraft. After a brief conversation, she took a few steps back and watched the hatch of the aircraft close and then take off into the air in the middle of the night.

The blowing wind lifted Weng Meiyu's long hair, and made her skirt and coat sway in the wind. Against the background of the receding aircraft, this scene, to be honest, really gave people a sense of brokenness, as if "the poor girl was abandoned by a scumbag."

but it is not the truth.

Weng Meiyu made her own decision in desperation.

She finally did not choose to go back to the past. From this point of view, the experience during this period has indeed changed her. Her growth could not satisfy Zhou Ke, but it is well known that Zhou Ke's conditions for selecting partners are too harsh. This is not entirely due to Weng Meiyu. Her performance is much better than Mark.

When Weng Meiyu returned to the living room, Qiao Ya had already gone downstairs to prepare new tea for her.

Zhou Ke and Moni both went to rest, leaving only the two of them in the apartment.

"What did you give him?"

Qiao Ya asked curiously:
"Why are you still crying? Are these tears because your intimate relationship with little Acholi is over, or is this just one of the ways girls use to tease men?"

"Both. Even if we're separated, we have to leave a good impression on our ex."

Weng Meiyu was quite free and easy. She took off her coat that was stained with mud with some disgust, then sat on the sofa and curled up there in a state of emptying her mind, and took the tea handed to her by Qiao Ya.

After the latter also sat down, she said:

"I gave him the document regarding the transfer of medical resources to the Badlands."

"Ah? Didn't we give that thing to him before?"

Joeya says:
"What do you mean by send it again?"

"Based on my understanding of him, the document I sent to him before is probably still lying in a cabinet in his secretariat that will never be opened. He will never read it."

Weng Meiyu shook her head and said:

“But now it’s different.

Perhaps he had already opened the file on the way back to the central building.

Maybe he was just killing time, but he would eventually be attracted by one of the plans, and then use his current rational mind to think about the pros and cons. Maybe he would take this plan seriously and use it to arrange the merger plan of Panis Group and Weng Group in the future.

I handed him this document hoping to tell him that this was the path I had chosen for myself in the future.

This is also my last request. I hope he can give me the corresponding power to arrange this matter. If I do it, then at least I can return to his decision-making circle with a new image. If I can't do it, it will only prove that I am nothing special.

I gambled all my good feelings towards him just to hold on to this last straw. Alas, this is probably the desperate situation that Zhou Ke said, "If you don't fight, you will die." I never thought that when I got this thing,
and many more!

Xiaoya
I suddenly seemed to realize something."

She frowned and thought for several seconds before looking at Qiao Ya and said seriously:

"I suddenly realized that Zhou Ke was not joking when he proposed this plan the night I first met with Zhou Ke and Moni. This is not just a means to get close to little Acholi, nor is it just a draft for the final disposal of the Weng Group and the Panis Group.

He had joked at the time that if the plan went smoothly, and if the city-state's excess high-quality medical resources could really enter the Badlands, then this now dilapidated civilization would be more united.

At that time, Moni and I laughed at his naivety, but now thinking about it, it seems that he was not joking.

He really wants to do this!
His inner desire even goes beyond using this plan as a pure means. He wants to do something to allow more people to survive?
So, is this the real Zhou Ke?"

"what?"

Qiao Ya was stunned by Weng Meiyu's outrageous conclusion.

As someone who has been with Zhou Ke for a longer time than Weng Meiyu, she could not connect Zhou Ke's image with the "compassionate" image described by Weng Meiyu. If you don't believe it, go ask those people who lost their lives inexplicably in End Castle, Niujiao Gorge and City-State District to see if they agree with this unrealistic statement.

"I think you should rest now, Meiyu."

Qiao Ya whispered:
"You've been through a lot tonight. You're obviously not in a state to think. Look at your outrageous conclusion. It almost made me laugh."

"No, no, I think my guess is right!"

Weng Meiyu, on the contrary, became more energetic.

She sat up straight, her eyes full of thoughts, and said:

“I failed to grasp what little Acholi was thinking, but because of this unexpected incident, I realized what Zhou Ke was hiding in his heart. I think I really guessed it, although I don’t have any evidence to prove my conclusion.

But maybe I did make the right choice.

Xiaoya, do you think Zhou Ke's ridiculous 'partner selection' has a resurrection match?"

"Huh? How about we go ask him?"

Qiao Ya complained:
"If you dare to disturb him when he finally falls asleep, I have no doubt that he will immediately pull out his gun and shoot you, so don't take the risk, sister. It's not easy for you to save your life. There's no reason to throw it away casually."

"Indeed, such an impulsive and emotional choice is bound to make him unhappy. Given his high standards for collaborators, he would not need such a person to stay in his decision-making circle."

Weng Meiyu narrowed her eyes.

Although she still had the broken feeling that was typical of a "loser", her mental state seemed to have miraculously recovered.

She made a decision quickly, then looked at Qiao Ya and said:

"I'd better help you solve your troubles first, just as a rehabilitation for your brain, and then I can get involved in those overly complicated things. Tell me, how do you plan to deal with the Third Master? He persuaded you to attack me and tried to split our cooperation. What do you think the old man is planning to do?"

"He certainly wouldn't be so idle as to kill his two granddaughters just for fun."

Joeya says:
“I didn’t talk to him for long, but I could sense that Mr. Weng was indeed worried about the issue of the successor.

He did not hide the current predicament of the Weng family, and told me that he should have died long ago, and the only reason he couldn't rest in peace now was because he couldn't hand over the fishing rod in his hand to others. If I forced you to say, he probably wanted us to fight each other, and then give the position of head of the family to the winner among us.

It's just like raising a Gu.

The one who survives in the end is the strongest. Given the current poor operating conditions of the Weng Group, the Weng family really needs a strong enough helmsman to turn the tide."

"There's more to it than that, Xiaoya."

Weng Meiyu took a sip of tea and said softly:

"If he just wanted to provoke a fight, he wouldn't have to tell you so much. He only needed to point out that the Weng family lost the ticket to the Garden of Eden and hint that I was deceiving you.

You are not telling the truth!"

"He was telling me about my mother."

Qiao Ya sighed and said:
"But my mother's matter is a whirlpool. Everyone involved will be in danger. I didn't tell you to protect you. You actually don't know what happened after my mother disappeared. You also don't understand the real cause of the crisis in the Weng family twenty years ago, right?"

"I really don't know the inside story. I think it's a power struggle among the directors of the consortium. This kind of thing is very common. The companies under the consortium system are all monopolistic capital. They can't expand the market externally. They can only bite each other and seize the power of their companions."

Weng Meiyu said:

"Although there haven't been many consortium directors who have fallen due to internal struggles in the past thirty years, there are definitely some. During the integration of the Maca Group alone, several families fell. But now it seems that what happened to the Weng family was actually an unprovoked disaster?"

"Are you sure you want to keep asking?"

Qiao Ya warned:
"Now that you know about your mother, you can't get away from it."

“But sharing secrets is fundamental to earning trust.”

Weng Meiyu brushed her hair and glanced towards the third floor, which was Zhou Ke's room.

she says:

"Only if I know where your crisis comes from can I become one of yours in the true sense, right? Tell me what Aunt Fenn did after she left us. I'm all ears."

"Well, you asked for it. I warned you."

Qiao Ya rolled her eyes and then told the story of her mother.

At the same time, on the third floor, Zhou Ke was lying on the bed with his eyes closed, letting the D-4 in front of him massage the back of his head and cervical vertebrae with very skillful techniques to relax him.

D-4 whispered:
"Weng Meiyu hasn't given up yet. She plans to try again. This time, the breakthrough point is Xiaoya. Aren't you going to stop her?"

"I refused her to join, but Xiaoya wanted her own team."

Zhou Ke's fingers slid across D-4's ankles. His habit of not showing any lust was a testament to his thinking. He said:
"She wants to become the decision maker and win over Weng Meiyu to solve the Weng family's problems. The girl in the family wants to make a career. As a guardian, I am very happy. How can I stop her?

As for Meiyu's choice, that is her business.

But I never said that our partners couldn't try a second time, right?
If she really learned something from this experience of falling into the valley, it would not be bad for us. The job given by Xiao Aqiaoli is not easy to do. In the future, I really don’t have that much energy to pay attention to the Weng Group. It would be best if Xiaoya could solve this problem by herself.

Everyone has their own work and mission to accomplish, and it is disrespectful to casually take over the burdens of others."
