Chapter 119 Decadent
Chapter 119 Decadent
Kevin shook his hand dejectedly and leaned back against the expensive sofa. He was surrounded by scrap paper. The computer was full of files on the screen, but it was not working.
"There's no need for these anymore." The man said in a hoarse and tired voice.
Baron was stunned. He thought he had misheard, so he walked closer and wanted to hear it clearly.
"I said I don't need these stuff anymore." Kevin looked up at the clean ceiling.
"What?" Baron thought that he had found a new breakthrough, so he smiled and said excitedly, "we have found a new breakthrough! What should I do next?"
Kevin looked at him indifferently, with deep eyes, like a vast sea, bottomless. This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.
"I give up." He shrugged and pulled his tie, looking dispirited.
The smile at the corners of Baron's mouth froze, and there was disbelief and disappointment in his eyes.
How could he say that?
How could he say something like that?
When the two of them just took over the company, Kevin calmly dealt with the pressure from the board of directors and the outside world. Now, he was defeated by only the public opinion?
Baron had always trusted Kevin wholeheartedly and believed that everything he had done was necessary.
But this time, he had to ask.
"Why? We has found some clues!" Baron's voice sounded a little sad. This was the first time he had contradicted Kevin in all these years, wasn't he?
Over the years, he had gone through so many risks. Why did he give up at this time?
"Clues? Baron, you should understand, right?"
Kevin smiled bitterly, as if he was talking about something unimportant, and said calmly, "you should have noticed it when you investigated. The chances of passing this crisis are very small, infinitely close to impossible..."
Baron kept silent. He did know that, but he was not reconciled. Was his long-term efforts going to be in vain?
"Let's go to relax." Kevin stood up, walked over, patted him on the shoulder, and left with a depressed face.
Kevin didn't go home. He parked his car in front of a bar, walked in without hesitation and found a place with fewer people to sit down.
"Sir, what can I do for you?" The waitress came over and asked politely.
"Alcohol, Poland vodka. If you don't have it, then give me whatever you like." He said coldly with no expression on his face.
The waitress, who had been working in the bar for many years, could tell at a glance that this person had something on his mind.
As an excellent waitress, she couldn't ask anything about customers.
The waitress took a look at Kevin deeply. He was much more handsome than all the customers she had met before.
This man was cold all over, and the aura he gave off was intimidating.
Why did he want to come to the bar to get drunk?
The waitress shook her head. Although she didn't understand, she still had to go on with her work. She went to the bar counter and fetched several bottles of vodka.
"Please." She put the vodka gently in front of Kevin's table and specially brought him a bigger glass.
Glancing at her indifferently, Kevin picked up the bottle and gulped it down.
No matter he was, he can't even drink such strong vodka as water?
The waiter sighed silently and was ready to deal with him who might make trouble then.
She stood there for a while and left to take care of other customers.
Kevin just drank alone and collapsed on the sofa drunkenly.
For the next few days, Kevin stayed in the bar and knew nothing about the outside world.
Of course, he didn't know that he had been taken photos and posted on the Internet.
Now the rumors had directly affected the survival of the Qin Group. The red headline was about Kevin drinking in a bar. The person in charge of Qin Group broke down and drank in a bar for days, and it seemed that Qin Group had given up compensation for people's loss.
"Mr. Qin." After hearing the rumors, Baron came to look for Kevin.
When he saw the man sitting alone in the corner of the bar drinking, his heart was filled with nameless anger. "Are you really going to give up so easily?"
If he gave up the Qin Group, it might be acceptable. But giving up on himself...
Baron angrily walked over and shook Kevin's shoulders to wake him up.
"Baron, you have been with me for so many years. You should know me well, right?" Kevin glanced at him indifferently, with pain in his eyes.
"Both you and I are tired. Let it go."
After a pause, he suddenly added, "you are not married yet. The money you have saved for so many years is enough for two people to live their whole lives. Find someone you love and live a happy life."
Seeing Kevin's depressed look, Baron shook his head disappointedly and left angrily.
The man looked at his receding figure and sighed slightly.
Then he took the bottle and kept drinking. Most of the time, the wine spilled on his clothes, but he ignored it.
Kevin went to bars and drank wine for several days, ignoring the company.
This kind of news was very popular in the capital city, and gradually destroyed the reputation of the Qin Group in people's eyes.
Lying on the sofa, Lily looked at the news one by one about the loss of the reputation of the Qin Group and the negative news about Kevin drinking in a bar with a sad face.
Through the phone screen, she could still clearly see the man sitting in the corner of the bar silently decadent. His eyes were empty and dull. It was obvious that he was tired.
He drank one bottle of vodka without hesitation. Before he could catch his breath, he drank the other one.
"Even if it was water... You can't drink like that, either." The woman murmured.
She stared blankly at the decadent Kevin on the screen, feeling flustered. She had never seen such a lazy and despondent Kevin like this.
No matter when she was at odds with him or when his life was in danger, he would always be calm and serious, meticulously completing all the things in the plan.
He could handle everything well.
To be honest, it was a lie that she didn't feel sorry for him.
She couldn't stand it.
After hesitating for a while, she opened the phone app and stared at the plane ticket on it.
Was she really going to leave in such a hurry? To left this place where she had lived for decades. Most importantly, at this moment, when that man needed comfort most...
The more she thought about it, the more hesitant she became. She was suspecting her own choice deeply.
For the grudge between Kevin and the Wen Family, they all kept silent, leaving her alone in the dark.
