Chapter 2374 Twilight
For his father's reminder, Gu Hanye did not dare to take it lightly.
Defenses have been strengthened near the Gu family's old house and outside his own residence.
On the other hand, the project jointly developed by Gu Hanye and Chu Lingfeng has been successfully completed, and the press conference is going on as scheduled.
At the press conference, A Fei attended as the main person in charge and presided over the press conference.
Both Gu Hanye and Chu Lingfeng appeared as project investors.
In the past, Xiao Chongyang could not know about the cooperation between the two, but today, Chu Lingfeng and Xiao Chongyang have already had a showdown, and there is nothing to hide anymore.
This press conference caused a sensation in the electronic information industry, and the major media rushed to report it. Even people who don't understand this industry know that Gu and Chu have joined forces to do a big thing.
This is indeed a big deal.
A fingernail-sized chip contains extremely sophisticated technology, which is difficult to develop, but the economic benefits are huge and the significance is even greater.
The core technology is in our own hands, and we are no longer afraid of being monopolized by foreign companies or controlled by others.
For Gu Hanye and Chu Lingfeng, they no longer need to be restrained by Xiao Chongyang in business.
In addition, Xiao's internal problems also occurred. Two consecutive project investments failed, the capital chain was broken, and the debt could not be paid off. It was facing the danger of the stock market being suspended. The huge business empire seemed to collapse in an instant.
But there is also an old saying that a lean camel is bigger than a horse.
The Xiao family is getting weaker day by day, but it is still a big group, but in the future they can no longer bully others and do whatever they want.
In short, such an important research and development achievement, of course, must be well protected, and the press conference should be more cautious to prevent it from being destroyed.
Gu Hanye and Chu Lingfeng made all the preparations, but until the end of the press conference, no one disrupted it, and it went very smoothly.
On the second day of the press conference, Chu Lingfeng learned from Xiao Hanlu that Xiao Chongyang had already been hospitalized for treatment, his lung cancer was at an advanced stage, and the cancer cells had spread.
Maybe it's because the body is suffering from illness, and I don't have the energy to persecute others anymore, or maybe it's because I realize that I don't have much time, so I finally stop focusing on revenge.
Without Xiao Chongyang's great threat, Gu Hanye heaved a sigh of relief.
On the weekend when the press conference was successfully concluded, Gu Hanye and Chu Lingfeng discussed and decided to hold a celebration banquet for A Fei's team.
A series of awards will be presented at the banquet, which can also be regarded as a reward and encouragement for all members participating in the project.
The celebration banquet was finally scheduled to be held on a giant cruise ship.
On the day of the banquet, Su Jiuyao, Gu Hanye, Mu Ying and Chu Lingfeng, A Fei and Ling Ying, and all the people involved in the project boarded the luxury cruise ship, including the cruise ship provider Gu Changhai.
This cruise ship is exactly the one that Gu Hanye's parents took when they went to sea, and it was also on this cruise ship that Gu Hanye's mother was pregnant with him.
My father has maintained the ship well over the years, including a major refurbishment and upgrade.
Today, the cruise ship is still brand new, and many modern equipments have been added.
That day, Xiao Chongyang was the last one to board the boat, and he came uninvited.
Xiao Chongyang's complexion was sallow, the upright posture he had when they first met had long since disappeared, and he was not even as energetic as Wei Shu, who was older than him.
His eyes were dim, like a pool of stagnant water. When a person no longer has no attachment to life, he will show such an expression.
Gu Hanye could feel that Xiao Chongyang's body was enveloped by the aura of death.
For such a person, Gu Hanye no longer has any desire to fight, nor does he think that he will pose any threat to him.
But he didn't want Xiao Chongyang to board the boat, he didn't want to spoil everyone's interest.
But his father allowed Xiao Chongyang to board the ship, Gu Hanye didn't understand, but it was inconvenient to say anything, so he agreed.
After Xiao Chongyang boarded the boat, Uncle Wei helped him to the top deck and was about to disembark and go back.
Only then did Gu Hanye know that Xiao Chongyang went out to sea with them alone.
Gu Hanye also noticed that before Wei Shulin left, he looked back at him.
Xiao Chongyang smiled at Uncle Wei, and Uncle Wei bowed to him, then left the cruise ship silently.
Seeing this scene, Gu Hanye felt a strange feeling in his heart.
Jiuyao was beside him at that time, leaning against the railing, chatting with Mu Ying, Mu Ying gently placed her hands on Jiuyao's protruding abdomen, her eyes were bright, as if she was discussing about the baby in her womb.
Gu Hanye put his hands on the railing behind Jiuyao, protecting her in his arms.
It doesn't matter what Xiao Chongyang does, as long as it doesn't hurt Jiuyao.
For the next three days, Xiao Chongyang spent almost all of it on the top deck. One day the sea blew windy, although there was a roof, but the temperature was very low, Xiao Chongyang still did not return to the cabin.
He looked at the sea in the distance with those drowsy eyes, and no one knew what he was thinking.
Seeing this situation, Gu Hanye felt more and more uneasy, so he went to find his father.
His father told him not to worry about it, saying that he would look at Xiao Chongyang.
Gu Hanye felt that his father was too big-hearted this time, so he still made people secretly watch Xiao Chongyang's every move, not afraid of ten thousand, just in case.
After another three days at sea like this, Xiao Chongyang was still sitting on the top floor.
Gu Changhai often went up to sit for a while.
Young people's banquets are too lively, and people's happiness has never been connected. He prefers to be alone.
The top floor is quiet, plus Xiao Chongyang is always here, few people are willing to come up, it is a rare quiet corner.
Xiao Chongyang was leaning on the recliner with a blanket on his body, coughing all the time.
The two of them had nothing to say, Xiao Chongyang looked at his sea, and Gu Changhai also leaned on the railing, letting his thoughts flow towards him layer upon layer like a tide.
The sea is still the same sea, the boat is still the same boat, but the beauty is gone, and even the rival who has fought for most of his life is dying, Gu Changhai deeply feels the loneliness of his old age.
He lit a cigarette and couldn't help thinking about the meaning of life.
In other words, what is the point of living.
At this time, Xiao Chongyang sneered, a bit sarcastic, a bit self-deprecating.
"I'm about to be freed, but you still have to continue to suffer, it seems that God is better for me." Xiao Chongyang said.
This is the second conversation between the two of them in the past few days. The first conversation was before boarding the boat.
That day, Gu Changhai saw Xiao Chongyang and asked him: "Do you have to get on the boat?"
Xiao Chongyang asked back: "Are you afraid that I will kill your son?"
Gu Changhai smiled, stepped aside from the hanging ladder, and let Xiao Chongyang board the boat.
Over the years, he has fought against Xiao Chongyang many times in the open and in the dark. He knows Xiao Chongyang's routines as much as Xiao Chongyang knows him.
So nothing to be afraid of.
Gu Changhai lit a cigarette ash, "You know very well that this is the place where Wanqing and I made love, so why come here to find pleasure before death."
Xiao Chongyang stared into the distance, and said in a hoarse voice: "I gave you the opportunity to rape her by not going on the boat with Wanqing back then. I regretted it for most of my life. I dreamed of destroying this boat, including your family of course."
