"Waiting for an important call?" Shen Hao noticed Xu Tao's absent-mindedness.

"It's fine. The computer was on, and a reminder of a new email popped up in the lower corner of the screen from time to time, but it wasn't what she was waiting for, "Thank you for helping me introduce those private equity fund managers." ”

"You're welcome. It's that you ran faster than a rabbit, and I wanted to invite you to dinner, but I didn't expect the opportunity to disappear in an instant. Shen Hao joked, "I saw an acquaintance, Zhao Congzhou came to Hong Kong, you gave him the idea?"

A handsome little bird flew by, stopped on the flowers and trees in the courtyard, and began to peck at the fruit between the branches. Xu Tao walked to the window to see more clearly, "Yes, I built it." She chuckled under her breath, "We all know that we can't do it here, we can only run out, and we may have a chance to succeed with the help of different justice systems, after all, it is not easy to fight big with a small one." How is Zhao Congzhou, is he used to it?"

"He's a newbie, but he's a quick learner. I don't have much to teach him, at most I can help him find information. But Xu Tao, do you think it's worth it?"

The long silence was invisible, and Shen Hao waited for her answer, but he didn't arrive for a long time.

"It's hard for me to answer this question, but if you ask me if I want to do it?" I said it a long time ago, and I couldn't dispel it after thinking about it for a year, so I obeyed my heart. Don't worry, I won't do things desperately, just ask for money. I just went to visit Wu Yewei, and I still remember the lessons he learned. ”

"Didn't he already promise you last time to hand over the assets under his name to you for escrow?" Shen Hao inadvertently said that he leaked his mouth, and was immediately caught by Xu Tao. She didn't report her whereabouts to Shen Hao, so it could only be that the other party she met told him, "You know? You are a lobbyist? No wonder he was kind to me, and apologized for his scolding of me." ”

"When I first had an accident, I was impulsive, and after staying in it for two years, I should be calm. Shen Hao didn't take credit, "He originally had a similar temperament with you, and you can't be blamed for this, of course he will regret it after getting angry." So what's the problem now? His parents don't agree?"

"Yes, his parents are against it. She touched a gray nose and her low voice, Xu Tao didn't want to sue him, "But they promised to think about it." There was no need for Shen Hao to speak, she also felt his deep "Why bother", "Don't worry, there is a private equity company that has signed an agreement with me, and the urgent need has been solved, and Huasheng promised to do everything in the second installment." ”

Amitabha, she just hid a little detail: the agreement with the private equity fund is also conditional, and the conditions are strict. The deadline they set is also relatively short, only half a year, and a small investment project can not achieve the expected goal in half a year. Huasheng knew in her heart that if she didn't show them some obvious performance, they would really be cheeky and make the agreement yellow. Anyway, they have some of her assets in their hands, and they still make a small profit compared to the current market price.

Xu Tao felt that he was digging a pit, it was still a big pit, whether he jumped over, or fell into it and fell into it one by one, it was difficult to say.

"Investor Grok Marx said that after personal struggle, I finally went from having nothing to extreme poverty. She said to Shen Hao, "There is a point that costs 10,000 yuan, and it is hopeless." However, he said leisurely, "Ten years ago, you were in debt, and I thought I was about to get ahead, so I used a loan to buy a small place here, and I thought that I had embarked on a splendid road and walked on the pinnacle of my life." Now you have 500 million assets, I have changed to a bigger house, and I am still paying off the loan. Y-why are you laughing like that?"

Xu Tao pulled a tissue to wipe away the tears from the corners of his eyes, "It's interesting to listen to your lines about an elite saying a poor bastard." ”

"What's wrong with the elite? Isn't there a joke that the elite life we think of is nothing more than the progress of the times and the change in the way of work, which is actually no different from the work in the factories 50 years ago. Even the messages we post on the Internet are essentially the same as chatting together. ”

The handsome little bird fluttered its wings and flew towards the wall, Xu Tao watched it leave, and said quietly, "Okay, I know you are comforting me." I'm fine, even if Wu Yewei's parents still don't agree in the end, there are alternatives, at most, the time is not enough, and I will talk about it later. ”

"What should I do with the assets you have staked in Huasheng and the funds that have been invested in Changyuan?"

"Alas, senior brother, you can go wherever you hurt - what else can I do, I'm poor again. Didn't you say that I made such a high leverage, the risk is too great, and if I am not careful, I will lose all my money. Maybe I'll have to borrow money from you, so don't you answer my phone,......" Xu Tao said with a smile, with a slightly exaggerated smile on his face when he hung up the phone. She understood Shen Hao's kindness, and he changed his way to remind her that it was too late to stop now, at least the current rise in Changyuan could make up for the loss of violating the agreement.

She is not afraid of becoming poor, she is afraid that it will be too late, the money can be earned again, but the opportunity may not come again, Cheng Zhongguo's age is destined not to allow her to slowly re-accumulate wealth.

Xu Tao thought bitterly, maybe he didn't wait for her to make a move, Cheng Zhongguo didn't want to work so hard anymore, so he took this opportunity to transfer the shares, and was happy to take the money in hand and take a back seat, anyway, his spirit will live forever in Changyuan. Maybe like some celebrities, marry a young wife and play some rich man's game.

But she also knew it couldn't be. Cheng Zhongguo is Cheng Zhongguo, he will not give up the industry that instills all his energy to create a zào, and even his own son can be regarded as an invisible opponent, how can he be willing to let outsiders replace him.

When he thought of Cheng Qinghe, as if reflexively, the back of his neck was slightly numb, as if his lips were covered on it.

Xu Tao tried his best to get rid of the distracting thoughts in his mind, but this thing came uninvited and spread like weeds. Not only is there always a little heat in the neck, but even the heart is fluttering, and gradually the roots of the ears are hot, and the cheeks are hot, and every cell is crying, thirsty, hungry, they need to hug and kiss!

Xu Tao was indignant, since the long-awaited email did not arrive, then she could always find something else to distract her. Helplessly, this human brain, once it develops inertia, can't stop, either thinking of Cheng Qinghe's current embarrassing situation, or remembering some long-term past.

Sure enough, where there is oppression, there is resistance.

Xu Tao picked up the mobile phone, but stopped at that number for a long time, it was easy to dial out, what can I say?

I miss you - her face is sour from the flesh, and she has never been so ashamed in her life.

However, this is true, only the truth is the most invincible in the world. She clicked anyway, and the beep of the dial tone in the room was unusually slow and orderly.

He didn't answer.

Xu Tao breathed a sigh of relief and called herself confidently, anyway, she called, but he didn't answer. But I don't know why, my heart is getting more and more anxious, there is no meeting in the company during this time period, is there an urgent matter he rushed to deal with? However, a cold whooshing voice came out of her head, and she was not allowed to deceive herself: it is not that you do not know his current situation, and there is not a lot of work waiting for him to do.

Another, colder voice reminded her that if she didn't want to hurt him, then all she could do was stop provoking him. A heavy tiredness hit, and she had to ask herself, must she have to? The past is gone, and no matter what she does, she can't catch up with the past. She can persuade others to seize the moment, but she can't heal herself.

The mobile phone vibrated twice, the bell rang, Xu Tao looked at the number, it was a subordinate in her office.

Changyuan's stock price fluctuates, please indicate whether to continue to buy.

Buy, buy, buy.

The calls came one after another, only to end and come again, this time it was Huasheng.

Sky-high asking price. Bargain on the spot. Drive a hard bargain.

Gentle greetings. Unceremoniously. Laughing and scolding.

Each other is not really angry, it is nothing more than talking about it for the sake of interests, and it is beneficial to each other to cooperate, otherwise it will be divided.

The next call, Xu Tao didn't want to answer.

She quietly waited for the refreshing bell to pass, and even waved her right hand to beat the beat, a tune that she never got tired of listening to.

But the caller did not give up until he jumped out automatically. Just after two seconds of stopping, the same number called again. If so, three.

After the struggle, a pleasant one finally came, Zhao Congzhou called, thanking her for the accommodation and some small things she helped arrange, phone cards, Octopus, and recommended law firms.

"Will you regret it in the future?" Xu Tao reminded him, "Maybe your father is willing to pay." "Otherwise, pulling the radish and bringing out the mud, Zhao Gang is very likely to pull Cheng Zhongguo into the water, they are too familiar, how can Zhao Gang not know Cheng Zhongguo's business secrets. Since he didn't poke it out, whether it was for the sake of old friendship or not, there was a little bit of a willingness to fight and a willingness to suffer.

Zhao Congzhou thought, "Someone has to remind him that the world has not yet reached the point where he covers the sky with one hand!"

Hmm-this question, Xu Tao heard someone knocking on the door, and it was so heavy that she couldn't ignore it, so she could only hang up the phone in a hurry.

Outside the door was him.

Almost at the same time.

"Who did you call for so long?"

"Can you keep the most out of your knocks?"

Two overlapping complaints, not knowing if there is an octave difference, unexpected harmony. She laughed first, then him, and she didn't know why she laughed so hard. His eyes were slightly red, and she didn't ask if it was a bloodshot from exertion, or something else. Instead, he stared at the red mole around her neck, the sign that reassured him, and gently kissed it.

She shuddered slightly, but didn't avoid his kiss.

He kissed her on the lips tenderly, and gently tempted, little by little, he stormed the city.

She suddenly remembered how the pretty little bird had slowly eaten the red fruit of the branches.

"You're distracted. He protested in her ear, low and dumb, like the murmur of the dawn of the morning.

The phone was not pretty, ringing in the room.

"Leave it alone. He said.

She listened. But when it sounded again, he gently let go of her, "Go ahead." ”

Xu Tao hurriedly ran into the room and grabbed his mobile phone.

At the same time, she looked at the screen, the long-awaited email arrived! I don't know if she was running too fast or excited, and even the voice on the phone became a little blurred, "The Wufang side has signed, and the money has arrived." ”

She looked up into the courtyard, where the man who knew nothing was standing under the tree, looking up at the branches.

The foraging bird came back at some point.

He smiled sideways at her and pointed to his lips for fear of scaring the bird away.
