The meeting lasted until 4 p.m.

The executives walked out of the conference room with a dizzy mind, looking for a place that could be breathable and ventilated.

What they need most now is the cold and fresh air, and the atmosphere inside is so solemn that it is almost crushing people to death.

Li Zitao and Mark walked out of the conference room side by side and then said solemnly to him; "Mark, I believe that with your ability, you will lead Faben to achieve more brilliant results."

"Looking forward to your performance."

Mark was very grateful for his boss' trust, so he nodded vigorously and said, "Please rest assured, boss, I will do my best to do it."

"Very good." Li Zitao smiled heartily; "I hope to meet next time on the stage of the annual meeting of the Blue and White Headquarters."

There are only three types of people who can go up to the annual meeting stage of the Blue and White Headquarters.

Speaker, actor and winner.

Naturally, Li Zitao would not let Mark become an actor, so whether it is a spokesperson or a winner, it will be a great honor for him.

Mark's face shiningly affirmed: "There will be this day."

The year-end meeting of Faben ended after being forced to be compressed by Li Zitao.

He will immediately set off to return to the United States to deal with an emergency.

As for Farbourne executives and Mark, they will continue to have frequent meetings for half a month to dissect and study the matters and development directions at today's meeting.

Upon learning that the boss's meeting was over, Tia hurried out of the office.

But all she saw was the back of walking into the elevator and the proud face of Ava sticking out her tongue.

"Bi Chi!" Tia stomped her feet hard and turned back to the office.

Sitting on the chair angrily, her two beautiful eyes rumbling, not knowing what other ideas to do.

"Have the plane and route been arranged?" Li Zitao asked impatiently after getting in the car.

"Everything is ready, you can set off just by waiting at the airport." Ava replied capable.

"Yes." Li Zitao nodded and looked out the window, and asked sadly, "What's the situation there?"

Ava looked at the latest information at hand and thought for a while, saying, "They were still detained at the airport, but they were not injured."

"Have our people arrived?" Li Zitao's fingers hit her legs back and forth.

Whenever his brain rotates rapidly, he will subconsciously make this small move.

"Saliev arrived at the airport in person."

When Li Zitao heard Saliyev arrive at the airport, he relaxed.

At least he knew that Saliyev was there, and those people would not be detained by customs, or deported to the Far East.

The next thing will be handled by him personally after he returns.

...

New York.

In the small grocery room, Christina didn't know how many days she had been locked up.

Her legs and feet began to get numb, and her feet became red and swollen.

Every day, she only has clear water and a few slices of bread to fill her belly, making her look particularly haggard.

Tina would struggle and curse before, but since yesterday, she no longer had the strength to do so.

I don’t know if it’s an illusion, but it seems that someone came to me yesterday.

She heard someone talking outside the door and mentioned her name many times, which was the voice of a strange man.

Tina wanted to make a sound to attract the other person's attention.

But she was tied up too tightly and lacked nutrition, so she couldn't do it at all.

This made Tina lose her last hope.

She even suspected that she would die here, at the hands of Peggy and her siblings.

At this moment, the door of the grocery room was opened.

The light shone on Tina's face, causing her to squint her eyes unconsciously.

Someone came over and moved her out of the grocery room.

When Tina recovered her sight, she realized that it was not someone else who came out with her, but Peggy and her brothers and sisters.

"Now, have you figured it out?" Peggy asked coldly; "If not, I will leave you in there for the rest of my life."

Tina nodded, indicating that she understood what she meant.

Page's expression immediately changed, becoming gentle and melancholy, and he comforted her hair and said, "This is my good Tina, a good girl."

"What are you doing standing? Get her out quickly." Page shouted to the children: "Go and get the food. She needs water and food."

Then Peggy took her back to his room and placed her on the bed to take care of her carefully.

Feed her bread and water, and kept talking to her.

"I don't want this, Tina, but you're so sad for me."

"You know I love you, but you always make some wrong choices willful."

"It's not anyone's fault, it's just a little punishment."

Peggy kept stroking her cheeks, hair, and neck with her hands.

From time to time, she would kiss her forehead and nose, gentle as if she had become a different person, just like a fairy in a fairy tale.

"You know, I won't watch you die, you understand me." The voice of dreams echoed in my ears.

Tired Tina suddenly felt extremely relieved and fell asleep unconsciously.

When she opened her eyes again, it was noon the next day.

Looking at the clean sheets and soft bedding, Tina quickly lifted it up, put on her shoes and walked towards the door.

Click!

The door opened, and Peggy walked in with a smile on his face.

"Hey, baby, see what I brought for you?" Page turned around and closed the door with her feet, putting the tray with a hearty breakfast beside her bed.

"Come and eat quickly!" Seeing Tina standing beside her vigilantly, Peggy patted the seat beside her and said, "This is carefully prepared for you."

"For me?" Tina still couldn't believe it, all this was true.

Page should have said, "Of course, it was my own hand for you."

Fruits, served with jam, bread, prepared dipping and warm milk.

If this is a dream, Tina hopes she will never wake up.

"Eat quickly!" Page said as he looked sad, "Maybe you will never be able to eat again in the future."

Tina didn't want to ask, but she couldn't control her mouth, and her inner impulse surged into her throat; "What happened?"

Page looked up at his room and said reluctantly, "We have no money to pay the rent and will be kicked out soon."

“What a wonderful thing it would be if I could have my own house here.”

"It's a pity that I don't have much ability." Page hugged his head in pain and said, "I've exhausted raising you."

Tina didn't know what to say, because even though she had not fulfilled her responsibilities as a mother since she was a child, she had at least never let them hungry.

Kindness defeated reason, Tina looked at the bag on the round stool and took it over by chance.

"This is for you." Tina put the card in her hand.

Page raised his head, saw the bank card in his hand, and immediately said, "No, I can't do this."

"Why?" Tina looked at her with a suspicious face.

They almost killed themselves for money before, but now why don’t they want them again?

“In fact, I’ve realized my mistake.”

"You are already an adult, and you should live independently. These are not the responsibilities you should bear." Page said, actually stuffing the card back to her.

With tears in my eyes, I said sincerely; "Tina, if one of us can be happy, it must be you."

"I won't let the kids be your drag anymore. I'll take them away and find a place to live in the park."

"What?" Tina was completely stunned.

Page looked out the window and said softly, "Who knows, maybe God will give me the answer."
