Liu Chen did not agree positively: "I...... Let's have a meal together at noon. ”

Li Rongfei heard some meaning from Liu Chen's words, Liu Chen was not very willing, otherwise he could agree on the phone, Liu Chen still meant last night, but her mother's meaning must be fully conveyed to Liu Chen, so she still decided to talk to Liu Chen face to face at noon.

Li Rongfei exhaled heavily and said quickly: "Okay, we'll go back to school in a while, you come to the school to pick me up." ”

"Okay, then let's do it first, hang up. ”

Li Rongfei didn't respond to anything, nor did she say goodbye to Liu Chen, she hung up the phone directly, she put her hand back in her pocket, and walked to the ward with a frown.

Liu Chen held the phone and couldn't calm down, he was uneasy about Li Rongfei's direct hanging up of the phone, Li Rongfei would only do this when he was angry, but didn't he agree with himself last night, could something have happened?

Also surprised was Li Rongfei's words on the phone, how could her mother suddenly want to see her at this time, and choose this sensitive moment, is it deliberately arranged or just a coincidence? Liu Chen touched his forehead and thought quietly, maybe he could learn more detailed information from Li Rongfei's mouth at lunchtime.

Liu Chen continued to work in the office, but he pinched the time, and when he saw that the time was almost there, he called it a day and went to Jiangxia Middle School to pick up Li Rongfei from class and go to dinner.

When I first went out, I met Tong Xinyan and admonished: "Xinyan, put a copy of our company's report for the first half of the year on my desk." ”

"Okay, Brother Liu. Tong Xinyan was holding a pen and paper in his hand, so he wrote it down.

When I came to the parking lot, I happened to meet Xiaodong coming back from outside, and said to him: "Xiaodong, just came back from outside?"

Xiaodong responded with a smile: "Yes, Brother Liu, are you going out?"

Liu Chen paused for a while and said, "Well, go and have a meal with your sister-in-law, by the way, you can make a detailed report on our company's business details, partners, and competitors, and bring it to me when the time comes." ”

Xiaodong happily agreed: "Okay, no problem, I'll sort it out immediately." ”

"Come on. ”

"It's not hard, Brother Liu. ”

Liu Chen nodded at Xiaodong and drove away from Xingchen. Driving slowly along the way, there were not many cars on the road at noon, Liu Chen quickly rushed to the gate of Jiangxia Middle School, this time he didn't waste any time to think about something, and contacted Li Rongfei in advance, the car just arrived, Li Rongfei also just arrived, seamless connection.

After Li Rongfei got into the car, Liu Chen turned his head and smiled at her, but Li Rongfei took out his mobile phone when he got in the car, and was busy replying to what message, Liu Chen was embarrassed for a while because he was ignored, and asked deliberately: "Who are you chatting with?"

"With my mom. Li Rongfei replied without looking back, her fingers tapping quickly on the on-screen keyboard.

Liu Chen nodded thoughtfully, and didn't mention this topic for the time being, so he asked, "By the way, where do you want to eat?"

"Whatever. ”

Li Rongfei's attitude was a little cold, but it was also possible that he was focused on the arrangement of the evening, and Liu Chen didn't think much about it anymore, and found a restaurant nearby that he often went to eat.

Two people, four dishes, were still ordered under Li Rongfei's control, but in the process of eating, Liu Chen saw that Li Rongfei was not in a good mood, so he dispelled the idea of talking about things during the meal, eating first, and then talking about other things after eating, so the two of them chatted about topics that had nothing to do with this topic.

This lunch was not very satisfying to Liu Chen, because although the two talked a lot, they didn't open their hearts to chat, as if they were trying to cope with this time of eating, and then invariably arranged the time for the main topic to after the meal.

After eating and checking out, he left, and came to the car, Liu Chen was not in a hurry to start the car, and after he replied to a few messages, he finally started their purpose this time.

"Xiaofei, is your mother under the river?" Liu Chen took the initiative to speak.

"Hmm. Li Rongfei was as calm as ever.

Liu Chen turned his head and continued to ask, "Did she tell you on the phone? ”

Li Rongfei blinked, and also took the initiative to confess to Liu Chen about seeing her mother today: "I didn't know that she went to the hospital to look for me, and I didn't know that she came to me for tonight's arrangement." ”

Liu Chen's gaze wandered away for a while, and then returned to Li Rongfei's face: "Why did she suddenly remember this? Didn't you tell her that we talked about it yesterday?"

Li Rongfei lowered her head and frowned, and said helplessly: "Say, it's useless, she has more reasons to see you." ”

"How...... Why is it so sudden?"

"Actually, it's not sudden, she has talked to me about you before, expressed her intention in this regard, this time she came to me and specifically asked for this matter, as if this incident was the reason why she suddenly came to Jiangshita. ”

Liu Chen listened to Li Rongfei's words, and felt that this matter could not be fooled around, but he still tried to ask again: "Can you let her delay it for a few more days? ”

Li Rongfei shook her head with certainty and rejected Liu Chen's proposal: "No, she is not often in Jiangxia, it is rare to come back, she shouldn't want to drag this matter to the back, she wants to take advantage of the opportunity to come to Jiangxia this time to meet you." ”

"Good...... All right. Liu Chen let out a long sigh.

Li Rongfei saw that Liu Chen was in a very low mood, and seemed to have the worries of last night, and immediately added: "But don't worry, when she told me, she was a future son-in-law, and it is estimated that she would not be disgusted with you, maybe she has already recognized you, so I don't think you need to resist or worry so much." ”

Liu Chen asked unexpectedly, "Is that what your mother really calls me?"

"yes. ”

Li Rongfei's information made Liu Chen's thoughts shaken a little, and he no longer continued to think on the negative side, and finally agreed: "If she didn't come to me because of the negative impact I was subjected to, then it would actually be okay to meet." ”

Li Rongfei was pleasantly surprised by Liu Chen's sudden change of mind, but she was not sure, so she turned her face to stare at Liu Chen's face and confirmed, "Then you mean, you agree to eat with her tonight?"

"I agree. The corners of Liu Chen's mouth raised, and he replied affirmatively, in fact, the most fundamental reason why he agreed was not because of Li Rongfei's mother's title, but Li Rongfei himself, he didn't want Li Rongfei to be caught in the middle too much.

Being able to get Liu Chen's promise, Li Rongfei finally showed a smile, this was her first smile after seeing her mother today, she really hoped that Liu Chen could get along with her mother.

After talking about it, the two of them were not as silent and depressed as before, Li Rongfei would take the initiative to chat with Liu Chen, and the atmosphere when he went back was completely different from when he came, when Liu Chen sent Li Rongfei to school, he sat alone in the car for a long time.

After this lunchtime exchange, Liu Chen felt more and more indescribable emotions for this future mother-in-law whom he had never met, curious, afraid, respectful, disgusted? It seems that every emotion is different, and even every time I think of this person, the emotions that rise in my heart are different, which is completely different from the feeling of seeing Li Rongfei and her father.

In front of Li Rongfei's father, Liu Chen is like meeting a confidant who has forgotten his old age, and he can have a long talk with each other, talk about career, life, hobbies, and current affairs and politics, this is Liu Chen's favorite way to get along, and Li Rongfei's mother gave him an inexplicable pressure, I don't know if tonight's meeting will be pleasant.

Without thinking about it, Liu Chen first returned to the Xingchen Sand Field, and after coming to the company's office, Liu Chen saw that there was already a report on the table for the first half of the company.

It can be clearly seen from the statement that the profit of Xingchen Sand Field has maintained a steady growth in the first three months of the year, but there has been a sharp decline in the following month, and there has been a loss for two consecutive months.

These financial statements and several tables made by Tong Xinyan himself completely and clearly show the business status of Xingchen Sand Field in the past six months, the month before Liu Chen's accident, Xingchen's financial situation was in crisis, the capital chain was tight, and then he was secretly placed together, and there was a river accident, that period was the most critical and difficult time for Xingchen, and various data indicators hit a new low.

Later, with the financial support of Hong's Construction, Xingchen began to slowly improve, but because Hongyu Group tore up the agreement and maliciously reoccupied Xingchen's market, a large number of Hongyu Group's business activities appeared within Xingchen's market, and Xingchen failed to recover the external accounts receivable in time, and there was a gap in capital turnover again, so the debt increased.

Just as Liu Chen was writing a plan, a message came from his mobile phone, which was sent by Xiaodong, saying that the sorted information had been sent to the mailbox, so Liu Chen opened the mailbox and downloaded the information sent by Xiaodong for review.

Xiaodong wrote very clearly in the information that the current business of Xingchen Sand Field is mainly focused on the supply of sand and gravel, but now it is developing towards diversification, gradually involving building materials, decoration design, etc., and even has investment plans, these business developments of Xingchen have gradually overlapped with the business of Hongyu Group, so whether it is from the perspective of future development or from the perspective of disputes in the actual operation process, Hongyu Group is the biggest competitor of Xingchen Sand Field.

In addition to the hardcore ally Hong's Construction, the partners of Xingchen Sand Field are some small industry veterans, and the advantages and disadvantages of these partners are obvious, the disadvantage is that the strength is weak, and there is not much right to speak, and the advantage is that these partners are distributed in all corners of Jiangxia City, many and intensive.
