    ☆. The ghost husband comes to your door 1

    The hour hand on the wall pointed to eleven o’clock, and the lights on the 28th floor of the Yongsheng Building belonging to Horizon Ventures were still on.Halfway through the meeting, a male employee stood up and said, “Sorry, I’m going out to take a call…it’s from home.”

    Everyone present at the meeting looked understanding. The deputy director of the abbot’s meeting simply put down his pen and said, “Let’s take a ten-minute break and let everyone relax.”

    These words did not cheer up everyone’s spirits at all. Several male employees went out to smoke, and Yao Ji also stood up.

    At this time, the neon lights are flashing in the sea market. When the night life has just begun, the night is high outside the large floor-to-ceiling glass curtain wall. This is the central CBD of the sea market, where a large number of securities, trusts, and venture capital companies gather. Overtime is often a common occurrence, but working until three o’clock in the morning for five days in a row is indeed overloaded. The deputy director had two big dark circles on his face. He walked to Yao Ji with a cup of coffee: “How about it, do you regret changing your job?”

    Yao Ji changed jobs more than a month ago. She left an old fund company and joined Horizon on the recommendation of a headhunter.

    As a well-known venture capital company in the industry, Horizon’s salary is very high. In contrast, its work intensity is overloaded. Even headhunters specifically reminded her when contacting Yao Ji: “Horizon’s boss is the King of Hell. I think you have heard of his style. Working under him… is very risky.”

    Yao Ji was a little funny: “If you can’t do it anymore, you’ll have to resign. The boss won’t force his employees to death.”

    Now it seems that she feels that she might die suddenly.I have been working overtime every day since I joined the company. Overtime is common in this industry. The problem is that the King of Hell is really difficult to serve.

    During this time, Horizon happened to be working on the merger and acquisition case of the American BKK Group. When Yao Ji arrived, she was faced with an overwhelming number of meetings, data, analysis and reports.Although she quickly devoted herself to the project, the project plan that everyone in the team worked hard to come up with was rejected by Sheng Yize again and again.No matter how small the problem is, he will not let it go. No matter how difficult the measures are, he requires employees to solve them.

    From the perspective of Yao Ji who has been immersed in the workplace for many generations, Horizon’s project team is already good enough.Every project that was criticized as worthless by Sheng Yize was top-notch in the industry.

    However, Sheng Yize did not take pleasure in torturing employees without purpose. Every area that he pointed out that needed improvement was convincing.

    It can only be said that this person is so outstanding, but he thinks that everyone in the world should be as outstanding as he.

    Hearing the deputy director’s words, Yao Ji could only smile bitterly: “I regret it very much. It’s not too late for me to apply for work-related injury now.” The deputy director laughed loudly: “Then I’m afraid Mr. Sheng won’t approve it for you.”

    What he said was a joke, but Yao Ji couldn’t help but think of the rumors related to Sheng Yize in the circle.It is said that this workaholic once went more than 300 days without taking a single vacation. He had a fever of 39 degrees and was still talking about an IPO. I am afraid that only a car accident could allow Sheng Yize to take a vacation.

    The two chatted for a while, and then Yao Ji and the deputy director returned to the conference room one after another.It was still busy until three o’clock that night. After finalizing the last details, the deputy director announced the adjournment of the meeting.

    She dragged her exhausted body home. The next day was Thursday. When she was woken up by the alarm clock, Yao Ji almost wanted to quit her job for a moment.But in the end she packed herself up and drove to the company. Colleagues came to her workstation one after another. Yao Ji turned on her computer and prepared to browse the newly delivered emails in her work mailbox as usual. She saw Sheng Yize’s assistant walking in with a subtle expression on his face.

    “Ahem, everyone,” He Mao cleared his throat, “I have something to announce. I just got off the phone from Mr. Sheng’s home. Mr. Sheng got into a car accident and is on vacation starting today. Everything in the company remains as usual. If anything happens, please report to the other two partners.”

    Yao Ji: “…” Should I buy some lottery tickets after get off work…

    At this time, there was already a commotion in the office because of He Mao’s words. The assistant didn’t seem to understand the situation yet, so he reassured everyone and motioned to the investment director and deputy director to follow him into the office.

    As soon as he left, the buzzing discussion became even louder. A senior analyst from the same project team as Yao Ji came over: “Mr. Sheng is on vacation, what should we do about the BKK case? If he doesn’t make a decision, who dares to take this responsibility.”

    Yaoji also felt something strange. Even if she had an accident and couldn’t come to the company, she could still report by phone or have a video conference. Could it be that Sheng Yize’s car accident was so serious that he couldn’t manage the affairs?

    The subsequent events seemed to confirm Yao Ji’s suspicion. One of the company’s partners flew back from France overnight to take charge of the overall situation. The investment director proposed to visit Sheng Yize in the hospital, but He Mao said that the Sheng family said that Sheng Yize needed to rest and refused to visit.

    It stands to reason that everyone should be relieved to have such a living king of hell missing, but the atmosphere in the company seems to be even more tense.

    Having lost its most powerful backbone and having a difficult merger and acquisition case in front of us, even though Sheng Yize was not in the company, the entire project team was still busy day and night until Friday.When she got home, Yao Ji’s legs were weak. As soon as she walked in, she kicked off her high heels and nestled on the sofa. She didn’t want to turn on the light, so she just sat in the dark with her eyes closed and meditated.

    In the distance, outside the window, the buzz of a plane flying away passed by, and the numbers on the mobile phone screen jumped to twelve o’clock in the morning, beep, beep, beep, beep… The alarm clock was ringing for some reason.

    She didn’t want to open her eyes, and fumbled to turn off the mobile phone thrown on the sofa. Suddenly, Yao Ji’s hand stopped amid the soft rustling sound——

    She seemed to have touched a hand.
