Chapter 108 Exhausted

At ten o'clock at night, Su Tianyu returned to his room after drinking with Jiang Zhou.

The lights were off in the room, and the entire space was dark and quiet. Su Tianyu took off his coat and plopped down on the soft sofa, slowly exhaling a breath of alcohol.

Having drunk a lot of alcohol, Su Tianyu had a headache, so he simply lay on the sofa, staring at the ceiling, lost in thought.

At this moment, memories of the past flooded Su Tianyu's mind. Old Hei and the other old faces of the past constantly lingered before his eyes.

Ever since Old Hei's sacrifice, Su Tianyu had been in low spirits, and coupled with the conversation with Jiang Zhou today, his emotions collapsed again.

The conflict between the Wang family and Yu Mingyuan was not a matter of right or wrong, but a matter of different positions. Faced with their respective positions, Jiang Zhou had no choice but to speak for the Wang family, and he couldn't abandon Mingyuan, who was wholeheartedly promoting the merger plan.

The reasoning was simple. First, Su Tianyu had no emotional foundation with the Wang family. Second, the Wang family was the first to side with Huo Dongsheng on this matter.

The problem was that things were stuck here. Jiang Zhou couldn't handle it, so what could he do? He couldn't possibly say to Yu Mingyuan, "It's done, you're dirty, step down, you have to pay for this."

Such words were inhumane and not Su Tianyu's style at all. He couldn't do such a thing.

"Monkey, pour me a glass of water..." Lying for a long time, Su Tianyu felt a fire in his throat, which made him pause his thoughts and subconsciously call out. However, the room was empty, and no one answered. He suddenly remembered that Monkey was still in the hospital recovering from his injuries.

With a sigh, Su Tianyu slowly got up from the sofa, endured the headache, walked to the table, and poured himself a glass of water. His gaze fell on the stomach medicine next to the glass.

In an instant, the memory of the pre-war gathering that day impacted Su Tianyu's brain again, and an unprecedented sense of loss swept over him like a tide.

Su Tianyu gently rubbed his face, picked up the stomach medicine and headache medicine, and swallowed them with cold water. After taking the medicine, he staggered towards the bedroom.

Taking off his coat, Su Tianyu fell headlong on the bed. His brain was dizzy, but he still racked his brains to think about how to balance the relationship between the two sides. Only by balancing them could the merger plan be pushed forward. The cake that so many people had died to grab could not be shelved just because of the Wang family…

The intense fatigue, combined with alcohol and the effects of the medicine, made Su Tianyu close his eyes and slowly fall asleep.

The next day, Su Tianyu didn't look for anyone, nor did he see anyone. After taking a shower, he quickly walked to the computer, reopened the screen, and pulled out the draft plan he had prepared earlier.

While continuing to improve the plan, Su Tianyu pondered in his mind how to compensate the Wang family.

After thinking about it, he could only solve the problem from the Wang family's side. Since they were dissatisfied, he would do everything possible to satisfy them.

Thinking of this, Su Tianyu continued to type on the keyboard with a gloomy face. Only the sound of "tap tap tap" echoed in the room…

…

In the blink of an eye, three days passed. Dragon City, Yu Mingyuan's villa.

Around nine o'clock in the morning, Yu Mingyuan sat on the sofa in the villa's living room, looking at a list in his hand.

On the coffee table was an ashtray with a cigarette that was about to burn out.

An Qiqi sat next to him, drinking coffee and looking at her watch. She had come this time to talk to Yu Mingyuan about the union and the issue of approving money.

Yu Mingyuan finally put down the list and looked at An Qiqi, asking, "Just these people?"

"Yes." An Qiqi nodded and put down her coffee cup. "My dad means that the information of these people is not convenient to disclose, so he wants you to compensate them privately. The specific list and amount of money are all on this. Please resolve it as soon as possible."

Yu Mingyuan did not hesitate and agreed directly, "Okay, these are not problems. I will arrange for Lao Kong to handle it later."

"Okay." An Qiqi gently got up from the sofa. "Then I'll leave first if there's nothing else. There are still things waiting for me at the bureau."

"Wait a minute!" Yu Mingyuan suddenly stopped An Qiqi, as if asking casually, "Has Su Tianyu been looking for you these days?"

An Qiqi shook her head, "No."

Yu Mingyuan continued to ask, "Did he go back to Bana City?"

An Qiqi thought for a moment and replied, "Yes, he left not long after he arrived in Dragon City. It's been about three or four days since he went back."

"Did you two come back together?" Yu Mingyuan interjected.

"Yes, why are you asking this?" An Qiqi asked strangely.

"Hehe, just concerned about you two." Yu Mingyuan smiled. "I was thinking about having a meal together these days. Now that everything has settled, everyone should get together."

"Okay." An Qiqi didn't think much about it. "If there's nothing else, I'll leave?"

"Yeah, go ahead." Yu Mingyuan waved his hand, and An Qiqi left the villa.

After An Qiqi left, Yu Mingyuan slowly put away his smile. After a long silence, he took out his mobile phone again and called Da Bai.

"What's up, brother?" Da Bai's voice rang from the other end of the phone.

"What are you doing?" Yu Mingyuan asked.

Da Bai said, "Nothing, just staying at home. Nothing's been going on lately."

Yu Mingyuan frowned and asked softly, "Haven't you had a meeting over there yet?"

Da Bai casually said, "No? Isn't it quiet now? All parties are dealing with post-war issues. I haven't heard any signs of a meeting."

"Oh, right, are Jiang Zhou, Wu Han, and the others still there?" Yu Mingyuan asked again.

Da Bai thought for a moment and said, "They should be in Jia City, dealing with the relationship there with Wang Xiao."

Yu Mingyuan smiled, "Hehe, okay, I got it. I'll go over these days and we'll have a meal."

"Okay!" With that, the two hung up the phone.

The cigarette in the ashtray had completely gone out, and there was still a burnt smell in the air. Yu Mingyuan stood up, walked to the coffee machine, and slowly made himself a cup of coffee.

Holding the cup, Yu Mingyuan strolled to the floor-to-ceiling window, drinking coffee while quietly looking at the scenery outside. After thinking for a full half hour, he took out his mobile phone and called Kong Zhenghui, "Lao Kong, call Tong Hui, let's go to Bana City together."

Kong Zhenghui paused when he heard this and replied softly, "I won't go, will I…!"

On the other end of the phone, Yu Mingyuan said without a doubt, "You must go this time."
