Chapter 100: “Let the righteous detective stop a vicious murder.”

Shen Yu was not a main character.

Similar to Yu Yan, he was a background character within a background.

Chu Zu couldn't find any information about Shen Yu from the system.

All the information about him had been bought from the players on the Financial Street.

Shen Yu could also be considered a legendary figure.

To put it bluntly, the players who came to the Financial Street were all failures in the real world.

After being cornered, they had encountered an opportunity and were desperate and eager to seize it.

Shen Yu also belonged to the cornered category.

During his fight with the board of directors, he had been stabbed by his own brother.

Internal struggles in a public company were often jokingly called "martial combat," such as snatching the official seal, making false police reports, and occupying by force.

Business wars in novels were often illegal and fatal.

Business wars in the real world were often legal but insane.

The relationship between Shen Yu and his brother was somewhere in between, illegal and insane.

It was completely literal.

During the bloodbath of the board of directors, Shen Yu had been stabbed by his own brother a white knife in, a red knife out.

Shen Yu had been in the ICU for a long time.

When he woke up, his equity had been diluted.

Because of the many projects he had strongly advocated for in the past, he had been given the cold shoulder, and several of his gambles had failed.

Not only had he lost his voice in the company, but he was also saddled with a huge amount of external debt.

It could be said that Shen Yu had completely lost due to an unexpected accident.

He was very capable, but his body did not allow him to deal with the tragedy.

He also couldn't bear to see his brother arrested and imprisoned, so he had simply come to the Financial Street, thinking that when he left, his body would have recovered, and those messy things would be more or less settled, making it convenient for him to start from scratch.

The players had been able to find out this news because Shen Yu had taken the initiative to tell his story as a dinner table conversation to a short-term partner.

The system didn't quite understand why he would talk about his private affairs.

Big Zu would never talk about the past.

Even if you asked him to his face, he would say that he had forgotten everything and didn't remember.

Chu Zu's evaluation: “He knows how to be liked.”

Little Yellow Chicken: “Is he selling a sob story?”

But the Financial Street didn't buy that, and there were plenty of people who were more miserable than him.

Chu Zu: “Generally speaking, if you can see any of these in a person: ‘courage,’ ‘humor,’ ‘a skill,’ ‘a good old boy,’ ‘in a crisis,’ ‘being loved,’ ‘hard work,’ ‘obsession,’ ‘unjust harm’ you’ll find it hard to dislike him.”

This formula was very useful in character creation, especially for supporting characters whose personalities didn't need to be too distinct.

On the Financial Street, placing oneself in the position of a supporting character would be very safe.

It was like handing over the initiative of the transaction and letting the other party think that they were the chosen "protagonist."

But the fact was that the chosen "protagonists" had been replaced one after another, and Shen Yu had climbed to the position of the head of an enterprise.

And the story that was circulating on the market was still "My brother stabbed me, so sad."

The office building of the enterprise was incomparably better than the studio that had been gotten from Boss Sui.

The forty-story building served only one enterprise.

The lobby was a high-ceilinged hall of nearly a hundred square meters.

The floor-to-ceiling glass was cleaned spotlessly, and the natural light was sufficient and bright.

Shen Yu had arranged for NPC services.

Just like the security guards outside a high-end residential building, these NPCs acted as cheap labor, following behind the employees and providing various services.

From entering the office building, to stepping into the elevator, and then to the conference room, not a single employee had disturbed Shen Yu during this period, not even a glance.

They all pretended he didn't exist and were just busy with their work.

Chu Zu had been sizing up Shen Yu all the way without a change in expression.

Recently, many people had said that Yu Yan had learned half of Zu Qisheng's shadow.

He had been taught well and was like a different person.

In fact, it was essentially just a change in clothing style.

Yu Yan used to wear whatever was cheap.

The only formal suit he had for work was a discounted item that didn't fit at all.

It was Boss Sui who had thought he was not presentable and had forced him to buy it.

With the change in clothing, and the wholehearted devotion after the accumulation of matters, Yu Yan looked as if he could bluff people.

But that was just how he looked.

He had been melancholic for a long time because little Zu was ignoring him, and the theme of his complaints at night had changed.

Shen Yu and Zu Qisheng's temperaments were completely different.

Zu Qisheng was a typical refined type, amiable, easy to talk to, and had a good attitude towards everyone.

Shen Yu’s appearance was also of the elegant type, with a strong scholarly air, and the lines of his eyebrows and eyes were gentle.

But his gaze was too aggressive.

It was the gaze of a decision-maker who meant what he said.

When you were being watched, you couldn't feel that he was looking at you.

He didn't care about any of your opinions.

Shen Yu had consciously restrained himself, but he couldn't eliminate the habits that had been formed over a long period of time.

He couldn't change them even after coming to the Financial Street.

Perhaps, it was precisely because of this self-awareness that he had come up with the neurotic story of "My brother stabbed me, so sad."

Shen Yu didn't tell Zu Qisheng the story.

They were considered "familiar."

They hadn't met formally many times, but they had worked together many times.

Both sides were players who knew the ropes, and they both knew what the other was.

There was no need to start from the first step of establishing a preliminary relationship.

The negotiation was very smooth.

Before the cup of coffee that the assistant had brought was finished, they had already finished talking about most of the content.

The conference room was heated.

Zu Qisheng was still wrapped in his coat, his gloves never leaving his hands.

Shen Yu had taken off his formal jacket, leaving only a shirt.

This was considered impolite in a business meeting, but he didn't care much.

“I have a personal question. I don't know if it's convenient for you to answer.”

Shen Yu said.

“Today was originally a private chat.”

Chu Zu said.

Shen Yu smiled and rolled up the cuffs of his shirt.

He seemed to want to use an informal act to shorten the distance between them.

“It’s been really chaotic recently.”

Shen Yu pointed to his own neck, “The bruise here hasn’t faded yet.”

Chu Zu nodded with a smile: “I’ve been busy recently and haven’t had time to go to the hospital. It’s not a big deal.”

“I heard that you’ve been going to the hospital often recently. I don’t mean to pry into your private life, but it looks a bit scary. They said they saw you covered in blood, and your assistant was so scared.”

Chu Zu still smiled: “Thank you for your concern. What would you like to ask?”

“I have a brother. He’s not very smart. It’s a physiological illness. He’s been like this since he was a child. We have a lot of children in our family. I’m the closest to him because he’s easy to fool. A few words, and he’ll do whatever you tell him to do.”

“And he won’t participate in any of the family’s internal power struggles. He doesn’t have the brains for that. Of course I would like him, right?”

“Then he stabbed me with a knife. He said, He didn't know what I was busy with, and he asked me why I wasn’t playing with him anymore.”

Shen Yu said, “He would ask a question and then stab me with a knife. He probably repeated it eight or nine times. I wanted to calm him down first, but at that time, I realized that a person who has gone mad won’t listen to reason at all. He was also very aggrieved. A man in his thirties was crying his eyes out.”

In the sea of consciousness, the system muttered:

“It’s all settled. Why is he still telling an after-sales story?”

“Is this person because he didn’t handle his own brotherly relationship well, and he can’t stand to see other brothers getting along well?”

“No. The business is almost settled. He’s assessing the risks.”

Chu Zu answered.

“Didn’t you already explain the pros and cons very clearly? The risk is great, but the return is very generous. Take a gamble, and a bicycle will become a motorcycle.”

The little yellow chicken had been in close contact with Guanfu's little chicken recently.

Both sides wanted to find out about the host from the other.

Guanfu's cowlick little chicken, apart from liking to curse in a gentle and refined manner, also liked to use very old popular phrases as its catchphrase.

The cowlick little yellow chicken had also warned the little yellow chicken not to try to do anything big secretly.

Although its host looked like just an ugly little cat, he was not to be trifled with when he was fierce.

“He can help an old lady across the street, and he can also ride an old man across the street. Blackening is just a thought, understand?”

The little yellow chicken didn’t understand, but the little yellow chicken had been influenced by what it had heard and had also picked up a lot of classic phrases.

“Shen Yu believes that the biggest risk is little Zu.”

Chu Zu analyzed, “He was ruined by a few stabs of a knife. He knows the consequences of a blood relative going mad better than anyone else.”

“Little Zu’s usual performance is no different from Shen Yu’s brother, and he’s even more uncontrollable. If big Zu is killed by little Zu one day, all of his investments will go down the drain.”

System: “Then, should we switch to little Zu for a while and leave big Zu’s affairs to ‘Catch Me If You Can’? I’ll go to the mall and buy a commercial autopilot, and I can use it after modifying the underlying code.”

Recently, the relationship between the two brothers had been very strained.

The host had basically been dealing with big Zu’s affairs.

Little Zu was autopiloted by "Catch Me If You Can" and was having a great time in the game.

Under normal circumstances, Zu Qisheng had no concept of a "quarrel or a cold war."

He would not take the initiative to lower his head and coax his younger brother.

After selling his feelings for his younger brother, it had always been little Zu who was the one chasing.

The system had retrieved the recent data from "Catch Me If You Can."

The data showed that it had been analyzing the reactions that little Zu should have.

The result was a cold war.

Zu Qian couldn't stand his own values being divided.

And, because of that phone call from Yu Yan, his older brother's control over the game was no longer entirely dependent on high-intensity exploration.

A phone call could solve many problems.

What's more, after the hostage snatching battle, Zu Qisheng had devoted almost all of his energy to "charity."

Before, he would still look at his younger brother a couple more times because of the game.

Now he didn't even look at him.

At home, he communicated with Yu Yan more frequently.

Zu Qisheng was a boss who was not stingy with his praise.

His attitude towards Yu Yan could be said to be more affectionate than his own brother.

"Catch Me If You Can" believed that his biological younger brother thought so.

Zu Qian's brain couldn't think of a solution.

He could only participate in the game even more, even if it wasn't arranged by his older brother.

He wanted to spend all his time and energy, preferably to the point of exhaustion, so that he wouldn't have time to think about unnecessary things when he got home.

If it weren't for the little yellow chicken keeping an eye on him and constantly adjusting "Catch Me If You Can," little Zu might have gone to the exchange to sell something.

After all, for him, the exchange was not about giving up and gaining, but a garbage can into which he threw all the troubles he couldn't handle.

The system had also reported little Zu's situation to Chu Zu.

The host had said that he had it under control.

“It’s not time for little Zu to change yet.”

The host had said.

At that time, the system was a little confused: “Does little Zu need to change? His current character design seems to be already adapted to the ending.”

The Third Economic Law was finalized by Zu Qian, although the system was still not sure how the host was going to get little Zu the authority.

The current Zu Qian was full of insecurity.

He felt that he had become something that could be done without.

The more his older brother could handle things on his own, the more he urgently needed to prove his own use.

He didn't even have the fear of being abandoned.

The fear had been sold by him at a low price.

Under the judgment of the Financial Street, his self-protection mechanism had been sold, and his vigilance had also been cut.

He didn't remember what he had felt when he had held his older brother in the factory, and he only felt that his older brother's reaction at that time was strange.

Humans needed to overcome fear to improve their psychological resilience and ability to cope with future challenges.

Zu Qian did not possess these.

The only thing that could make him feel a little at ease was one thing.

Zu Qian knew that his older brother would not leave Financial Street, and neither would he.

As long as he didn't leave, in this system that he was still familiar with, and his older brother didn't directly tell him to get lost, then he could still stay in that home.

So the continuation of the Financial Street was a very important matter.

He would not let anyone destroy this place.

Not even his own brother.

The motive for revising the economic law was there.

“It’s not that he’s adapted to the ending, but that the ending is adapted to him.”

Chu Zu said, “The same goes for big Zu… big Zu is actually a little more troublesome.”

When he was talking about this, Chu Zu didn't say where the trouble was.

Now Shen Yu has made it clear.

He also just took this opportunity to solve some of the problems with Big Zu's character design.

“I don’t like people with no brains.”

Zu Qisheng’s expression was very gentle, without any displeasure of being offended.

A businessman always had to maintain a decent appearance, not to mention that this was indeed not a big deal.

He said in a gentle voice, “But if necessary, I will be very patient with people with no brains.”

“After coming to the Financial Street, because of some coincidences, I have sorted out a lot of things. It seems that many people think that I am too tolerant of little Zu. I have seen those mixed reviews.”

Shen Yu had also seen them.

Before he started working with Zu Qisheng, he was not yet the head of an enterprise.

He had checked the two brothers early on.

Putting aside the miracle investment and the crazy game that would cause a stir, there was not much information that could be found.

They never mentioned what had happened before they came to the Financial Street, nor did they have any deep relationships with people.

The people on the Financial Street also enjoyed discussing the relationship between the two brothers.

On the surface, Zu Qisheng was in charge, but he was often injured.

Zu Qian was like a fierce beast, and a fierce beast could not be kept.

At most, you could give it some sweet talk to keep it stable for a while.

Once it was not satisfied, the hostile energy that erupted would be overwhelming.

A businessman is not afraid of a businessman, but of a person who is irrational and not afraid of death.

Some people said that Zu Qisheng had left all of his few warm feelings for his younger brother, and that even a madman had a madman's weakness.

More people thought that this was all Zu Qisheng's arrangement.

He was just manipulating his blood relatives.

Zu Qian didn't care about assets at all.

He wasn't the type to come to the Financial Street on his own initiative.

It was Zu Qisheng who had tricked him in, and as his only contact, he had forcefully turned him into a "game prop."

This was a shocking thing to say.

How old was Zu Qisheng when he came to the Financial Street?

If he had been prepared at that time, then he had not been forced by reality at all.

A young man with such calculations, would he have a bad time in the real world?

It shouldn't be, right?

So the players came to the conclusion that these two brothers were both madmen.

It wasn't that they had fallen into madness because of their fanaticism.

Their minds were definitely not normal in the first place.

Shen Yu chose his words and said: “You can’t take the online reviews seriously.”

“Some of them are very pertinent.”

Zu Qisheng said slowly, “When little Zu is useful, I have to pay for him. There is no money in our transaction. Kinship is an asset. Managing assets is very important. I believe you have a deep understanding of this.”

Shen Yu was stabbed in the back.

Zu Qisheng said again, “I like transactions, not the results. It doesn't matter if I win or lose. What I like is the transaction itself.”

A transaction can simplify many complex things and sort out the pros and cons.

Before coming to the Financial Street, why did he insist on living with his younger brother?

Was he worried that he wouldn't be able to live on his own?

Did he think that his condition hadn't been adjusted to be able to adapt to society normally?

Because he still needed Zu Qian.

He knew why he was so prone to bad things.

It was nothing more than a disadvantageous environment and this face.

He needed a person who didn't think things through to stand in front of him, just like when he was a child.

In exchange, he would be willing to be a good older brother.

Why did he agree to Zu Qian and come to the Financial Street with him?

Did he think that their relationship was so good that they couldn't live without each other?

Did he think that following him was definitely better than being ignored?

Because he still didn't know the operating rules of the Financial Street.

He needed a person who could bear the extremely bad consequences to explore the way.

In exchange, he would share a part of the risk of bankruptcy.

Why would he be tolerant, give in, and let Zu Qian mess around on the Financial Street?

Because he needed Zu Qian.

A transaction is such a simple thing.

Two subjects, one pays, and one provides goods or services.

He was Zu Qian’s old client.

By the way, the heads of the three major enterprises were also his old clients.

Zu Qisheng had no hobbies.

He was not interested in assets, nor was he keen on leaving Financial Street.

He had no so-called life goals at all.

In his view, life was also something that could be traded.

His understanding of all people and all things was based on a balance of value.

In this way, the transaction with the exchange back then was very cost-effective.

He had only sold some insignificant things, and what he had gotten in return was not just assets, but also a logic that could finally make him self-consistent.

Otherwise, he couldn't figure out how, with his own personality, he would have taken on so many troubles just for that little bit of expensive emotion.

He was a very efficient person.

He couldn't figure out what status Zu Qian had that he needed to beat around the bush to persuade himself.

“I also like the transaction with you. It’s very bold. A person should have one big gamble in their life.”

Zu Qisheng’s words paused for a few seconds, as if he were temporarily thinking of a plan that could put his partner at ease.

He was a qualified investor and fully possessed all the qualities that a consultant should have.

He was responsible for the customer’s finances, considered the long-term impact when formulating strategies, and was responsible for the customer’s interests, not being guided by short-term interests.

The most important thing was a sense of professional responsibility.

Zu Qisheng thought.

“Thank you for the case you provided. I will handle this matter well. You can rest assured.”

He said.

When Zu Qisheng said "handle," his tone was still polite and light.

The cold tone echoed in the heated room, actually making Shen Yu feel a little cold.

Zu Qisheng had already stood up and was shaking his hand.

The leather gloves were also cold, just like the eyes behind his glasses.

“It’s a pleasure working with you.”

Zu Qisheng said.

***

Among the three major enterprises, the only difficult one was Shen Yu, and it was because of his experience.

The other two heads didn't take any effort at all.

One of them was even contacted online.

After patiently listening to Zu Qisheng's suggestions, his breathing became rapid.

The two-timing of three people had already begun to take shape.

The next step was to control the market and give the three companies some benefits.

In a short period of time, the entire market would be prosperous.

It seemed that they could really get what they wanted.

Seeing that the host had been sitting on the sofa in the sea of consciousness for half a day, and had been in deep thought for a long time, the system quietly climbed onto his lap.

“What do you think…”

Chu Zu suddenly spoke, “Is Guanfu smart?”

The little yellow chicken thought for a while, referring to Guanfu's past achievements, and answered: “He doesn’t work with his brain.”

It said, “I asked around. Guanfu’s regretful characters are all very hardworking. He had been rebellious many times before and had gone all out for a good ending. The ending also seemed to be quite happy. He himself didn’t know why the evaluation was so high.”

Chu Zu understood: “His school is not ‘what he could have been,’ but ‘even if he did it, he couldn’t have’.”

A good ending from the character’s perspective is not necessarily a good ending from a god’s perspective.

Every reader has their own value judgment.

The character thinks he has more happiness, but the reader may think that what he lost because of the price is heavier.

I didn't see it coming.

Guanfu was actually a very spiritual and unwitting master.

“Then he’s not smart.”

Chu Zu patted the little yellow chicken's head, “Then you have to contact his little chicken.”

“What’s wrong?”

“Let the righteous detective stop a vicious murder.”

The little yellow chicken was stunned: “Is little Zu going to fly into a rage?”

Chu Zu: “Big Zu is going to fly into a rage.”

He stretched.

“Counting the time, it’s about time. The two brothers’ views have to change. They can’t always be shrouded in the shadow of the price. After solving the two brothers’ character designs, it’s about time to have a quick ending. There’s no need to drag it on for too long.”

“And…”

Chu Zu said, “Have him go to the mall and see if there is a service to upgrade ‘Master Wang.’ I’m afraid he’ll just get beaten up.”

The system recorded the host's request and said hesitantly:

“It seems that there is no upgrade service. Originally, all ‘Master Wangs’ are equal. If you want to upgrade, you can only upgrade the system’s computation.”

Chu Zu thought for a moment:

“That is to say, your computation speed crushes the other side?”

The little yellow chicken puffed out its chest proudly:

“Yes! I’m very capable!”

Chu Zu patted its head again: “Mhm.”

“You can just go and talk. I don’t want any creature other than you to enter my sea of consciousness.”
