Chapter 1

No one will deny that Las Vegas is unique.

Las Vegas at night is a prostitute with heavy makeup.Against the backdrop of the night, she took off her white lady's suit and snow-white high-heeled shoes, and put on black lace.The corners of her lips were painted the same color as blood, and her nails were stained black.On two slender and white legs, black hollow leather boots intertwined.The woman with heavy makeup lit a cigarette, smiled coldly, and looked at the people who were addicted to her feet.

All that said, Las Vegas nights are for fun.Men and women from all over the world come here, who would not know the purpose - the casino where the big bucks are spent, and the wonderful performances.As long as you have money, your wishes will be fulfilled here - sensuality and wine, peerless enchantress.

…………

Yet there are always people who come here for something else.

At this moment, in Las Vegas, No.13 floor of Palazzo Hotel, business conference room.

"Mr. Wei, we have carefully read your company's proposal for the 'Silver Shield' project." The blond woman sitting at the front of the conference table pushed the frame on the bridge of her nose. His eyes set off even sharper.

"In our opinion, the promotion of the 'Silver Shield' product in the North American market is not as simple as stated in the plan." She adjusted the computer at hand, and several pie charts were immediately displayed on the huge projection screen behind her , "The security software market in the North American market has basically been divided up. Needless to say, several super companies such as magi, sophos, solara, etc., even the rising stars that have only sprung up in recent years, including the Japanese company 'Snowflake', have already left only The space resource is occupied."

Having said that, she cleared her throat, turned her slightly contemptuous eyes back to the oriental man sitting across the conference table, and raised a faint sneer—just because of this young man who has made great progress with his family business, Can you survive in such a highly competitive North American software market?

Wei Shenzhi did not ignore the fleeting contempt in the other party's eyes.However, he turned a blind eye to this, and continued to maintain a gentle but neither humble nor overbearing attitude: "This is the first time our company has entered the North American market. It is normal for Miss Lorraine to not know." Good reports and corporate projects are pushed in each other's direction.

The conference table is too long.When everyone present was about to watch the enterprise project manager stand up and hand out relevant materials to the person in charge of the other party like a waiter, they were all shocked.Wei Shenzhi pressed his five fingers on the pieces of paper, turned his wrist vigorously, and in full view of everyone, the pieces of paper spun and slid towards Miss Lorraine, and then stopped right in front of her.

...This is simply naked//naked//naked provocation!

For a moment, the blond woman glared at Wei Shenzhi who was still smiling.Then she forced herself to suppress her anger and looked at the brown-haired man sitting behind her.Seeing that the other party didn't express anything, he gritted his teeth and took the report anyway.

However, when the first line of words caught her eyes, she just felt that she was being played again!

"Miss Luolan, this is all the projects of Inspur Information Technology Co., Ltd. from 2010 to 2012. Including the initial stage of the 'Silver Shield' project in May 2010, we have already had a good market in the Chinese mainland market and the Japanese and Korean markets. Resources." Wei Shenzhi talked eloquently, completely ignoring Luo Lan's increasingly dark face, "In the first half of the promotion, we have achieved a total market turnover of 5 million yuan, and defeated the product sword of the established software company Eastcom."

"As for Sword's turnover in recent years and Inspur's turnover in recent years... Uh, Miss Lorraine, please allow me to remind you——I've reached the second page now."

The blond woman over there gritted her silver teeth, and finally couldn't bear the anger.She stood up with a "swish", and put those reports on the table heavily, trying to suppress her tone, but she could still hear that she was already angry.

"Mr. Wei, please respect me! This is the United States, please use American, Japanese, English, and Chinese when submitting any reports to the contract company!"

The brown-haired man who had been sitting behind Lorraine still lowered his head, but there was an uncontrollable smile on his lips.Immediately, he bent his index finger and touched the tip of his nose, suppressed his smile and continued to lower his head, wondering what he was thinking.

"Miss Luolan, you might say so." Wei Shenzhi also stood up, and looked at him with dark eyes without giving in, "In the documents of the United Nations, the provisions formulated by each country use their own languages. Miss Luolan Belittled us before, maybe because you—er, excuse my rudeness—I mean, you don't think much of us?"

The blond woman's eyes widened suddenly - she was used to the reservedness of oriental people, and she never thought that she would be so directly accused by the other party in such a public place!

Seeing the tense atmosphere in the conference room, a middle-aged woman covered in jewels from Inspur Software stood up with a smile, and smiled at the white woman who was about to explode in broken English: "Miss Lolan, what's the matter?" There must be some misunderstanding! You also know that Manager Wei took over such a big project for the first time, and he was not very good at talking for a while, please forgive me, forgive me."

Wei Shenzhi frowned and looked at the middle-aged woman.

"Miss Lorraine, I think we need to discuss the specific terms of the project with Manager Wei, and revise the proposal by the way."

"...It's okay." Lorraine gave Wei Shen a hard look, and then slowly sat down.She pushed her glasses and turned back into the sharp female elite before, "Then the following are some doubts about your company's business proposal from our Western Network Trust Company. The first is the evaluation of marketing revenue. In terms of your company's situation, the annual turnover The amount of 520 million US dollars seems a bit too much, our proposal is a conservative 300 million US dollars..."

"Well, okay, just three million dollars."

"There is also the promotion of advertising. Seven print media and five mainstream newspapers... You know, your company has not yet established a reputation network and user base in North America, so the number of seven or five is not realistic. Our proposal is Three print media and three mainstream newspapers, this is already the best situation."

"Okay, okay, three each!"

"Then there is cooperation with major software and hardware companies in Silicon Valley. We think..."

"Just do as you say!"

…………

Wei Shenzhi sat in the front seat, listening to the middle-aged woman put all the efforts Wei Shenzhi had made before back to the original point with a few words, he really wanted to curse.Could it be that my simple-minded aunt couldn't tell that the other party was being lazy, and looked down on us at all, and wanted to get money but didn't work hard? !

He clenched his hands into fists, looking at the aunt who was smiling and flattering.I really don't understand what this stupid woman who worships foreigners is thinking? !Accept the harsh conditions put forward by the other party like this? !

He can't just watch her ruin the company that his parents created with one hand!

but……

damn it!He is just the manager of this project plan, but the relatives sitting next to him are all members of the board of directors! !

Really couldn't bear to listen to these difficult terms, so Wei Shenzhi left halfway with an excuse.Because he left in a hurry, he didn't see the look of "the god of plague is finally gone" in the eyes of the elders and relatives around him, and the thoughtful look of Miss Lorraine——

And the brown-haired man with his head down all the time.At this moment, he straightened his waist and watched Wei Shenzhi leave until he was nowhere to be seen.

"Boss...?"

Seeing the brown-haired man standing up suddenly and stretching his waist regardless of the occasion, Lorraine didn't react for a while——what is the boss going to sing?

"Ah, I'm sorry, I don't need to listen in anymore."

The man put his hands in the pockets of his suit, rubbed the bridge of his nose, but turned his eyes to the direction where Wei Shenzhi left in a hurry, then lowered his head and whispered something in Luo Lan's ear, and told several relevant personnel of Inspur Company After saying sorry, he walked away without looking back.

Lorraine's eyes turned to the few scattered simplified Chinese reports at hand, and the teasing tone of the boss still echoed in his ears.

"The really interesting opponent got mad and I have to chase him back."

…………

Walking out of the palazzo hotel, looking at the night sky lit up by lights, Wei Shenzhi was still angry.He stood in front of the Palazzo for a while, the more he thought about it, the more angry he became, but because of insufficient authority, he had nothing to do with the veterans of the board of directors.

The night lit up by neon lights and moonlight looks extravagant and gorgeous.Wei Shenzhi leaned on the marble pillar in front of the hotel, sighed, and subconsciously touched his pocket with his right hand, only to remember that his briefcase was still left in the conference room, which contained his mobile phone, wallet, ID, and lighter ... and smoke.

While he was gloomyly staring at his toes, a person slowly stopped in front of him.He also heard footsteps, but didn't look up.At first, he thought it was a passenger entering or leaving the hotel or someone who came to gamble on the first floor of the Palazzo. When a pair of well-made leather shoes stopped in front of him, he raised his head belatedly, but met a pair of shoes with a smile on his face. eyes.

It was a young Caucasian man who looked about 27 or [-] years old.The white light from the hotel lobby shone on his hair, making the brown hair look extra soft.His eyes were also brown, like amber.The high nose bridge and angular profile show the unique characteristics of Westerners.

The person who came was the man whom Lorraine called "boss".However, because he kept his head down throughout the meeting, the people from Inspur didn't pay attention to him, let alone look at his face.

Wei Shenzhi looked at him with some doubts, but felt that this person seemed very familiar, but couldn't remember where he had seen him.

And he looked at Wei Shenzhi with a smile.

"...Hello?" Wei Shenzhi felt that it was a bit strange to meet a man with a smile on his face, so he had to speak first to break the silence, "What...what's the matter?"

"It's nothing, it's just that on such a beautiful night, in such a dreamy Vegas, you are standing here alone... It really looks like a painting."

Wei Shenzhi trembled and looked at him strangely.

"Ah, don't look at me like that, everyone is frustrated." The white man smiled and patted Wei Shenzhi on the shoulder, and the two brothers put their arms on his shoulders happily, "Don't think about going out for a drink with me. Is it? You look like you need someone to listen to you right now."

Wei Shenzhi glanced at him, gave a wry smile feebly, and then his eyes fell on his own toes again: "Forget it, tell unimportant people...you won't understand."

"Some things can be confided without any scruples if you have to be with unimportant people. Do you really not consider going out for a drink with me? I also have some...unhappy things now." Speaking of this, the corners of his lips His smile finally subsided.

Wei Shenzhi looked him up and down again, and finally replied in a broken jar, "Sorry, I'm penniless now, so this suit is worth some money!"

"It's okay~ I'll pay the bill for you, let's go, Orlando's cocktails are well made, I believe you will like them~"

...Look at this cheerful tone, is he really sad? !

Thinking like this, Wei Shenzhi was somehow dragged away by this white man whose name he didn't even know.
