Chapter 328: An Insurmountable Hurdle

Shen Ji was more or less aware of what had happened to Cao Mo's family over the years, and he also knew that Cao Mo had an uncle who had cut off contact with his family - he was still curious about who Tian Zhen was eating with just now, but when the box door opened, he saw the thin face of the middle-aged man facing the box door, which was similar to Cao Mo, and then pondered what he said, and then understood who this person was.

Shen Ji originally thought that after a few words of greeting with Chen Fan, he would open another table for dinner, and then find Chen Fan to rush to the project construction site to understand the situation in the afternoon, but he didn't expect that Song Yuqing's aunt Su Xiu was also pulled to Chen Fan's and Uncle Cao Mo's dinner table.

When he set off from Xinhai in the morning, Shen Ji also listened to Cao Mo talk about Song Yuqing's aunt Su Xiu, and knew that she was a staff member of Yucheng Real Estate before and had always stayed in the Jinying Lake project, but it was the first time he had met.

Seeing that Su Xiu was tall and well-proportioned and had a good temperament, Shen Jidu's eyes couldn't help but light up, thinking that Song Yuqing and her mother's family had all the beauty embryos.

If it weren't for the fact that he had talked about Aunt Song Yuqing's age on the road, Shen Ji would have hardly imagined that the little woman in front of him was forty years old.

Shen Ji looked at Cao Mo.

If Song Yuqing's aunt wasn't there, he could directly put Chen Fan aside, and they would open another box for a quiet meal, ignoring Cao Mo and his uncle, but how to arrange it now, Cao Mo had to make up his own mind.

However, there was no need for Cao Mo and Shen Ji to say anything, Chen Fan's side directly arranged it.

Although they had just eaten at the table, Chen Fan did not rashly say that they would eat together, but directly arranged a new box to prepare the meal.

He didn't know what the identities of Cao Mo and Song Yuqing were, and he took it for granted that Cao Mo and the other two beautiful girls, as friends between Shen Ji and his fiancée Wu Yunling, might not be very close.

Otherwise, Su Xiu would have mentioned this beautiful girl who called her "aunt" before.

However, Shen Ji is not only the actual responsibility of the Overseas Investment Division, but also very likely to be in charge of the entire Dongsheng in the future, and it is impossible for Chen Fan to be careless in the reception.

Of course, it is easy to open another table, but how to arrange the accompanying seats next, Chen Fan has a little headache.

Chen Fan accepted Cao Fangming's banquet today, and brought Su Xiu, Tian Zhen and another manager of the department to the banquet.

He had the opportunity at this time to definitely think about contacting Shen Jiduo, and when he turned around, he saw Cao Fangming and the others sitting in the box without moving, and he didn't mean to get acquainted with Shen Ji when he walked out of the box, he felt a little strange in his heart, but he definitely couldn't rashly say that two tables were together.

"Let's go sit in first!"

Seeing that the waiter opened the door of the box next door, Chen Fan invited Shen Ji in first, and then saw that Shen Ji didn't mean to know Cao Fangming and the others at all, so Chen Fan asked Tian Zhen and another department manager to accompany Cao Fangming and them first, and asked Su Xiu with some uncertainty,

"Manager Su, will you accompany Mr. Shen and them later?"

Su Xiu dragged Song Yuqing's arm, and at this time, seeing Cao Mo with her hands in her trouser pockets, she followed Shen Ji directly to the box next door, and she was also confused.

Hearing Chen Fan's uncertain question, she couldn't help but glance at Cao Fangming, who was sitting on the inside of the box with a somewhat stiff face.

Su Xiu met Chen Rong on Chinese New Year's Eve last year, when Chen Rong and Cao Mo's family took a cruise to visit the Qingtang River.

She listened to Cao Fangming at the dinner table just now, and guessed that he was Cao Mo's uncle, and Chen Rong was actually Cao Mo's "stepmother" - she didn't have a good impression of Cao Mo, so she was silent just now, and she didn't have anything to do with Cao Fangming, but when Cao Mo saw her uncle at this time, she didn't even say hello or look at it, and walked into the box next door?

Or was her brain confused just now and thought about some things, in fact, Chen Rong was not with Cao Mo and his father after that, and this Cao Fangming has nothing to do with Cao Mo?

"Auntie, come and eat with us!" Song Yuqing grabbed Su Xiu's arm and urged her to be stunned.

Su Xiu and Cao Fangming are not familiar with each other, they happened to be pulled over to eat at noon, not to mention that they have to accompany Xiaoqing to eat at noon, and if they don't go back to the company in the afternoon, she has to accompany Xiaoqing and Zhou Han to take a good look at Chonghai and do their best to be a landlord!

She turned around and went back to the box to get her mobile phone and bag, and looked at Cao Fangming suspiciously, seeing Cao Fangming sitting there with a strange expression, she thought that she had made a mistake, maybe Chen Rong, the director of Dongsheng Group, did not get together with Cao Mo and his father after the Spring Festival.

Su Xiu also had a gossip heart, walked into the box and sat down, and said a few words to Shen Ji, seeing that Chen Fan was dragging Shen Ji closely, she asked Yuqing in a low voice: "Didn't you say that Chen Rong of your group headquarters had that relationship with Cao Mo's father, why is there a break now?"

"Didn't make a fuss?" Song Yuqing was still a little weak-hearted, and her thinking was not so sensitive, and when she heard Su Xiu ask about this, she asked strangely, "What's wrong, what did you hear?"

"Huh?" Su Xiu was even more confused, and muttered to Song Yuqing in a low voice, "Do you know the Cao Fangming in the box next door?" If Chen Rong and Cao Mo's father are still in that relationship, then listen to the meaning of his words, he should be Cao Mo's uncle, but look at their appearance, where is the appearance of knowing each other, let's not meet a liar?"

"Huh?"

Song Yuqing was talking to Zhou Han and Shen Ji's fiancée Wu Yunling just now, and she didn't hear what Cao Mo's uncle said in the box just now, so she didn't recognize that the middle-aged man with a thin face in the box next door was Cao Mo's uncle.

Of course, Song Yuqing knew about the discord between Cao Mo's family and his uncle's family, but she couldn't figure out how Cao Mo's uncle could get together with the people of Dongsheng Chonghai Branch?

Coincidence?

In the box, a standard round table of sixteen people is placed, the dining table is a little too open, Wu Yunling and Shen Ji sit on one side, and Chen Fanshu sits next to him to ask for warmth.

Although Cao Mo was sitting on their side, Song Yuqing deliberately separated Zhou Han from Cao Mo in order to avoid suspicion, she felt strange in her heart, and it was not good to stretch out her head and ask Cao Mo what was going on.

Su Xiu couldn't figure out the situation, and didn't know whether to remind Chen Fanxian to confirm the identities of the people in the box next door as they claimed, but Cao Fangming claimed to be a neighbor with Tian Zhen, so Tian Zhen was unlikely to have any intention of helping Cao Fangming deceive them?

Su Xiu was full of entanglement, fortunately, it was impossible for Chen Fan to completely leave Cao Fangming and the others in the box next door and ignore them, after he exchanged a few words with Shen Ji, he stood up and said, "I'll go next door to socialize first, and then come over to accompany Mr. Shen for a few drinks!"

But after Chen Fan left, Shen Ji stood up quietly, closed the box door, and asked Cao Mo sitting on this side with his back against the box door:

"Why is your uncle in Chonghai, and also bring out the name of Mr. Chen, and eat with the people from this branch?"

Su Xiu's eyes widened at this time, staring at Cao Mo's very pleasing girlish face.

Cao Mo knocked his forehead with a headache, turned sideways and said to Shen Ji:

"He ordered a batch of solar power station modules from a solar energy company in Chonghai before, paid a deposit, and should be about to be delivered - he has a problem at home now, and wants to find this solar energy manufacturer in Chonghai to terminate the contract and get the deposit back from the other party - he probably thinks that Dongsheng is familiar with the Chonghai municipal government, and it is useful to find someone to say hello, so he came over with Aunt Rong's name to swindle and deceive......"

"I didn't look surprised to see you just now, I'm still wondering what the hell is going on!" Shen Ji smiled, "But don't worry, this guy Chen Fan is shrewd, he will definitely find Mr. Chen to ventilate first, why does he want Mr. Chen to accept his love with your family, so that he will help find someone from the city government to come forward to say hello...... If the amount of the deposit is not small, it is not a simple favor. ”

At this time, Shen Ji opened the door of the box again, and when nothing had been released, he sat back in his seat.

No matter how stupid Su Xiu was at this time, he understood that this Cao Fangming was indeed Cao Mo's uncle, but he should have a bad relationship with Cao Mo's family, so Chen Rong refused to come forward to greet him, so he simply did something in the name of Chen Rong.

After a while, the box door was pushed open from the outside again.

"Cao Mo, can you come out and say something?"

Cao Fangming finally knew that since he was unfortunately broken by Cao Mo, it was impossible for him to play his trick anymore, and if he didn't make it clear at this time, it might even make it worse, so he could only push open the door of the box hard, thinking about calling Cao Mo out and saying a few words.

"......" Cao Mo looked at the uncle outside the box door, Cao Li and Chen Fan, who was stunned, he didn't say anything, just picked up the lighter on the table and spun it quickly between his fingers.

"What happened in the past was that Uncle Xiao did something wrong...... Cao Fangming said.

"......" Cao Mo had a charming smile on his face, as if waiting for his uncle to continue.

However, his expression was essentially Cao Fangming's indifference no matter what he said.

After a while, seeing that his uncle was still standing there with a dead face, Cao Mo stopped the lighter in his hand, took out a cigarette from his pocket, and lit it slowly, looking completely irrelevant, and the years were quiet.

Su Xiu felt that Cao Mo was a little excessive, no matter what contradictions there were in her parents, she thought to herself, Cao Mo, as a junior, should not put such a face on her own uncle in front of so many outsiders.

Chen Fan watched Shen Ji bow his head and play with his mobile phone, and from time to time said some irrelevant things to his fiancée Wu Yunling, who was a little unclear about the situation, and had no intention of interfering in this matter at all, even if he felt that this scene was a little ugly, he did not make an assertion and pulled Cao Fangming into the box to speak.

In the end, Cao Fangming left abruptly.

The people in the box breathed a sigh of relief, but the atmosphere was still inexplicably depressing.

Chen Fan watched Cao Fangming and the others leave in embarrassment, walked into the box, laughed twice, and wanted to say a few words to reconcile the atmosphere, but he didn't know where to start, seeing that Cao Mo was still playing with the lighter in his hand, he was a little annoyed.

On the one hand, Chen Fan didn't understand why Cao Mo had such a face and attitude towards his own uncle in front of outsiders, on the other hand, he felt that Cao Fangming's relationship with him was shallow, but he was also his guest anyway, so he was driven away by Cao Mo with such a gesture, and he also felt very faceless.

He had just returned to the box next door, and heard Tian Zhen talk about the identity of the young man in front of him, but Dongsheng was not a dynasty after all.

What's more, Shen Ji is still sitting here, Chen Fan thinks to himself, even if it is the daughter of Chairman Ding Zhaoqiang, it would be rude to put on such a posture in front of Shen Ji, not to mention that Cao Mo is only the stepson of Chen Rong, the director of the group.

Of course, Shen Ji didn't say anything, and Chen Fan was dissatisfied in his heart, so he wouldn't say it.

Cao Mo could see that Chen Fan and Su Xiu were dissatisfied with him in their hearts, but there were some things that could not be explained to them.

He was not in the mood to continue to sit here, picked up the mobile phone, cigarettes and lighters on the table, and said to Shen Ji: "Let's go to the city to find a small restaurant to eat......

Cao Mo pushed the door first and walked out.

Chen Fan, Su Xiu, and Tian Zhen, who had just returned from sending Cao Fangming out of the restaurant, looked at each other when they saw this scene.

What is this?

Show them a face?

Drink to Shen Ji?

Wu Yunling was a little stunned, Shen Ji stood up and took the car keys, and said to her: "You and Yuqing stay here for dinner, and I will accompany Cao Mo to walk around the city in the afternoon, do you have anything to contact by phone......

Chen Fan, Su Xiu, and Tian Zhen were even more dumbfounded, and after a while, they saw Cao Mo Station through the floor-to-ceiling windows, Shen Ji ran to the parking lot and drove the car over, picked him up and drove out of the Penghua Resort Hotel.

Cao Mo lit a cigarette and handed it to Shen Ji, who was driving, and he lit another cigarette and smoked it, and said: "When I came out of the detention center, my father didn't know how many years he would be sentenced to in prison, Jiaying was only in junior high school, my grandmother was not in good health at the time, and the family didn't even have the money to buy medicine to pay Jiaying's tuition - I really had no way to find his house at that time, he said that I shouldn't ask for his door in my life - at that time, I thought that everyone should be okay in the future, and I will never be able to cross this hurdle......"

............

............

Although Shen Ji left his fiancée behind and was called away by Cao Mo, in Chen Fan's opinion, Shen Ji still valued his friend's face too much.

Although Chen Fan wanted to get closer to Shen Ji, he couldn't afford to stay with Shen Ji's fiancée, after all, there was a difference between men and women, if he was too enthusiastic about Wu Yunling, he wouldn't know what Shen Ji would think.

After making sure that Shen Ji had already driven away, Chen Fan picked up his mobile phone, pretended to remember something, and said to Su Xiu and Tian Zhen: "I still have an urgent matter to go back to the company with Xiao Wu, and the two of you will accompany Miss Wu and them this afternoon......"

With that, he dragged another manager from the sales and marketing department out of the restaurant.

has been embarrassed several times, especially after many people know the relationship between Chen Rong and Cao Mo's family, Tian Zhen feels that he has become a joke in the group headquarters - this is why he applied to work in the Jinyinghu project.

She especially didn't want to have anything to do with Cao Mo, but she was not Chen Fan after all, and at this time, she still had the qualifications to leave, so she could only stay sullenly and be a big girl, and be responsible for servicing Wu Yunling and their afternoon itinerary together with Su Xiu.

"Cao Mo is a psychopath, let's ignore him - I heard that the Bodhisattva of Chonghai Guangjiao Temple is very spiritual, let's go climb the mountain and burn incense in the afternoon after dinner......" Zhou Han stretched her waist, she didn't have to follow Cao Mo and Shen Ji in the afternoon, she directly arranged the itinerary.

Tian Zhen was silent, Su Xiu looked at Wu Yunling, she always felt that Wu Yunling was the main guest, and how to arrange it in the afternoon had to listen to her opinion.

Wu Yunling is usually very good at stealing the limelight, and she has nothing to do in front of Shen Ji, but she doesn't feel qualified to steal the limelight in front of Zhou Han, who defrauded the Lu family of 50 million and can still be fine, and she is a little flattering to cater to Zhou Han: "Yes, the Bodhisattva of Guangjiao Temple is really effective?" Shen Ji never believed in this, if I want to tell him this, he will definitely laugh at me for reading books for so many years in vain, but sometimes some things are really mysterious...... If they ask in the evening, I will say that you must take us to worship the Bodhisattva!"

Su Xiu has been single since her two unsuccessful marriages, but she still has some ability to observe her face.

During the Spring Festival, seeing Zhou Han living in Song Yuqing's house, and hearing Song Yuqing say that she was also an employee of Dongshenghai, Su Xiu didn't see anything special about Zhou Han.

Now she's a little out of sorts.

Cao Mo shook his temper and directly called Shen Ji away alone, saying that they would leave them alone and ignore them, and now even Zhou Han had a somewhat commanding attitude in front of Shen Ji's fiancée.

She couldn't understand whether Shen Ji was the president of the overseas department or Cao Mo was the president of the overseas department?

A few women don't drink, eat and silently calculate the value of the big calorie, a few characteristics of Jiang Xian after a few dips on the chopsticks, drive to the north of the industrial park Wufeng Mountain Scenic Area, climb the mountain to worship the Bodhisattva.

Tian Zhen was not happy in his heart, and he was tired and panicked all the way to climb the mountain, until four o'clock in the afternoon, Shen Ji called and said that he wanted to come over to meet them, but Tian Zhen really didn't want to see Cao Mo, so he made an excuse to drive back to the branch first.

After the formal signing of the contract with the Chonghai Municipal Government, Dongsheng first built a splendid sales center on the north bank of Jinying Lake, and Chonghai Real Estate Co., Ltd., a joint venture between Dongsheng Holdings and Yucheng Real Estate, was located in the sales center.

Tian Zhen had just parked her car in the parking lot in front of the sales center building, and before she could get out of the car, she saw several cars driving behind her, among which a light gray Rolls-Royce and an Audi A8 were the most eye-catching.

Tian Zhen didn't know what the Audi A8 came from, but she knew that the Rolls-Royce was the car of Ding Zhaoqiang, the chairman of the group.

Tian Zhen got out of the car and waited next to the parking lot, without waiting for her notice, he saw Chen Fan and a branch management trot rushing out of the sales center, Chen Fan stepped forward to open the door, and saw the chairman Ding Zhaoqiang accompanied two middle-aged people from the Rolls-Royce to walk down, Dong Chengpeng, Xu Zhi and Xu Xin and other headquarters staff walked down from the back car, and a group of people stood in front of the sales center building talking.

Although Tian Zhen knew that he had nothing to do with a character like Ding Zhaoqiang, it was impossible for him to walk into the sales center by himself, so he stepped forward and stood behind everyone, not knowing what Ding Zhaoqiang didn't say hello to, and suddenly ran to Chonghai to do something.

Ding Zhaoqiang was also stunned when he saw that no one else came out after Chen Fan and the others walked out of the sales center, and asked after a while: "Shen Ji didn't come to the project department in the afternoon?"

Ding Zhaoqiang knew that Shen Ji was coming to Chonghai today, of course Chen Fan wouldn't think it was strange, his nephew, even if he came to Chonghai to play, he might mention it to Ding Zhaoqiang.

"At noon, Penghua met Mr. Shen and them - Mr. Shen went to the city with his friends to play, and did not come to the project department in the afternoon," Chen Fan asked, "Why don't I call Mr. Shen at this time to inform Mr. Shen to come over?"

Ding Zhaoqiang was a little embarrassed.

Qian Wenhan and Ge Jun looked at the rather magnificent Jinyinghu sales center leisurely and didn't say anything.

"You don't have to ask Shen Ji to come over, you just call him and tell him that I have come to Chonghai; by the way, you tell Shen Ji on the phone that Mr. Qian of Xinhong Investment is with Mr. Ge of Dongjiang Securities, and I happened to be invited to Chonghai to relax today......

Tian Zhen felt curious, Ding Zhaoqiang asked Chen Fan to call his nephew, why did he look cautious? Thinking about seeing him, why don't you just notify him directly?

Although Ding Zhaoqiang and others were surrounded by Chen Fanyi and others, and at this time they were taken to the VIP conference room to speak, but Tian Zhen did not dare to relax when he returned to the office.

When Ding Zhaoqiang comes to Chonghai, most of them will meet with the leaders of the Chonghai Municipal Government, and when the time comes, whether it is to eat or discuss the construction of the project, all departments of the branch need someone to follow up - as the deputy manager of the small department, she must also be ready to be called over for questioning at any time, sit at the desk and turn on the computer, and search for the resources of Xinhong Investment and Dongjiang Securities on the Internet, only to know what kind of person Xinhong's "Mr. Qian" and "Mr. Ge" of Dongjiang Securities are.

After waiting for half an hour, Tian Zhen saw Shen Ji, Cao Mo and others park their cars in front of the sales center building, and when they entered the hall, a group of people walked over to the VIP conference room, Tian Zhen greeted him and said: "Mr. Ding chatted with Mr. Qian of Xinhong Investment and Mr. Ge of Dongjiang Securities in the conference room inside......

"I know. Shen Ji said.

"......" Tian Zhen hesitated and glanced at Cao Mo, Song Yuqing, Zhou Han and others, and stopped talking.

Su Xiu, who entered the sales center in the back, understood what Tian Zhen meant, the chairman suddenly took his friends to Chonghai and called Shen Ji to come and meet, even Wu Yunling was not suitable to go in, not to mention Cao Mo and Yuqing and Zhou Han, she chased after her and said: "I'll take Miss Wu and them to visit our sales center......

"Ahh

Cao Mo haha said: "The sales center is really beautiful, I will visit the sales center, Mr. Shen, you can do it yourself." ”

"I really didn't know that my uncle was playing this trick, you can come in with me!" Shen Ji grabbed Cao Mo with tears and laughs, and dragged him into the conference room, "What kind of temper do you have towards my uncle, he is calculating you, don't let me be caught in the middle of the two ends and not be human!"

Shen Ji received a call and found out his uncle's true intentions.

Cao Mo's funds in China are very limited, even if he is willing to participate in the project here, he can only take out a part of the funds, but two or three hundred million yuan cannot solve Dongsheng's hunger for funds.

Qian Wenhan has more than 3 billion yuan in cash, and if Dongjiang Securities is willing to issue a trust fund specifically for Dongsheng Real Estate, the assets raised will be as little as 500 million or 600 million yuan and as much as more than 1 billion.

His uncle was aiming at Qian Wenhan and Ge Jun, but he didn't have too deep a friendship with Qian Wenhan and Ge Jun, but Qian Wenhan was very close to Cao Mo.

This was the real intention of his uncle in arranging this trip to Chonghai.

Shen Ji also annoyed his uncle for being too calculating, but what could he do?

Su Xiu and Tian Zhen were completely confused, listening to Shen Ji's meaning, the chairman took his friends to Chonghai, and he came specifically for Cao Mo?

What is this?

Is it possible?
