At 6:50, Lin Xi arrived at Donglaishun. Although she has never liked to be punctual, after all, she has dinner with her elders or partners, and she rarely arrives early out of politeness and respect.

She was the first when the waiter took her into the box. Looking at the big round table, I thought for a while, and sat down on the sofa on the side to wait for Mr. Yao and his family.

After 20 minutes, the door of the box was pushed open, and Mr. Yao came in with his wife and daughter. Lin Xi got up from the sofa and stepped forward to say hello to everyone.

Mr. Yao has a lovely smile, and beside him, a graceful and luxurious person has a plump figure and a dignified demeanor. One is casual and tall, well-proportioned, with an indifferent expression.

"Hello, I'm Lin Xi. "There is a standard formula smile on her face, she is sweet, even if her face is expressionless, it will not make people feel arrogant, and her apricot eyes are bent into a crescent moon when she laughs, which is very pleasing.

Compared with Lin Xi, Yao Qian didn't seem to be very enthusiastic, and even a little cold and indifferent, just pulled the corners of her mouth perfunctorily.

The girls are wary and alienated from the same sex they meet for the first time, especially the same sex who is better looking than themselves, Lin Xi has lived for more than 20 years and easily feels it.

She raised her eyebrows slightly in disapproval. In the past, she was also forced to attend the drinking party with Lin Zhengxiong, and besides, today is Friday, maybe people have a dinner with friends, and she is unhappy to be disturbed to eat with her.

This guess is not far from ten, if it is an elder Yao Qian, who is the same age as her parents, she will definitely show a lot of respect at this time. But this "distinguished guest" at the dinner table is younger than her, looks better than her, and is more expensive than her in clothes.

Especially the limited edition Hermes in her hand, she went to distribute the goods and asked someone to look for it overseas, but she didn't buy it.

Those vain jealousies always need to find an outlet for catharsis. Yao Qian adjusted her thoughts, and disdain and contempt welled up in her heart. The material can't be compared, then her identity as an imperial capital, at least in her opinion, Lin Xi has no and can't compare.

Lin Xi and Mrs. Yao were chatting, the young girl's expression management and emotional control were not as good as she thought, and maybe she was not hiding, Lin Xi used her afterglow to take it into her eyes.

"We Yao Qian studied in Sheffield, Country Y, for her bachelor's degree, and later went to Berkeley, California for her master's degree. Mrs. Yao asked Lin Xi about his studies, and Lin Xi replied that he was studying for an MBA at NTU.

Lin Xi smiled lightly, she has never taken learning seriously, but she also knows that after all, it is one of the marks that she has followed all her life, and her career is unsuccessful, and her academic background is the best benchmark.

"I applied for a master's degree in the United States before, but I reconsidered it for a long time after my father......'s accident," she lowered her head slightly, sincere or false, with a layer of sadness on her face, "I still have to return to China first to stabilize the company." After that, when I have work experience, I will consider going out for further study. ”

Mrs. Yao is also a person who knows the general situation, and she found that her daughter's mind wanted to win back a city for her, but Lin Xi said this, so it was naturally not good to compare her studies again.

After eating a meal, Lin Xi could still see that the Yao couple doted on their daughter. She has an attitude of ignoring her, and her parents have never reprimanded her at most, and even the two of her who left the scene early in the end didn't say much, I'm afraid that she has been arrogant since she was a child.

Mr. Yao smiled helplessly, "Don't you mind, she made an appointment with a friend a long time ago, and was temporarily called out by us for a meal, and she rushed to the appointment." ”

said that she didn't care if it was fake, Yao Qian put on a stinky face throughout the whole process, not to mention that Lin Xi was the second ancestor who was pampered and raised by others, even ordinary people would be unhappy when they saw it.

"Well, I should be about the same age as her, I understand that I love to play at this age. The words were insincere, Lin Xi sighed lightly in his heart, "I forgot to ask just now, how old is Yao Qian this year?"

"At 26, she did two master's degrees at Berkeley, just graduated and is still looking for a job. Mrs. Yao replied. The middle-aged woman is well maintained, her skin is firm and shiny, and her face is full of pampering when she talks about her daughter, "I also discussed with Lao Yao, let her find a job outside now, if she is really not satisfied, arrange for Langyi to be Lao Yao's assistant, and I will not wronged her." ”

Not to mention the global acquisitions, mergers and acquisitions and joint ventures in the past five years have opened up the international market. Lavida is one of the leading hotel brands in the country, in addition to flagship luxury hotels, in addition to various selections, resorts, long-stay suites, etc.

Lin Xi raised his eyes to Mrs. Yao, smiled slightly, and did not comment.

After the meal, Lin Xi and Mr. Yao went to Langyi Dijing to go to the tea room to talk about business.

I wanted to talk to Mr. Yao about the matter at the dinner table, but with Yao's mother and daughter present, she always had concerns in her heart, and she never brought the topic over.

The two were waiting for the elevator, and Mr. Yao casually introduced the history of Langyi Dijing to Lin Xi, "At that time, your father and I also specially invited a feng shui master, after all, this is the first hotel of Langyi in the imperial capital. I also invited an architect who has studied the ancient buildings of the imperial capital of the imperial palace, and your father poured a lot of effort into the emperor, and the plan at that time was changed several times - ah, Ji Shao. ”

The elevator door opened, and the man who walked out at the head was very tall, well-proportioned and straight, his age was similar to Ye Zeyan's, his silhouette was clear, his nose bridge was high, and he was a very outstanding face.

The perfectly tailored haute couture suit fits perfectly, and the elegance that comes with it is inadvertently exuded with every gesture.

Lin Xi hadn't seen such an amazing man for a long time, it didn't seem to be the kind of heartbeat that Ye Zeyan had, it was just simply amazing.

The other party heard Mr. Yao's greeting and stopped, and his chin gestured, his voice was not loud but very low and magnetic, "Mr. Yao, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”

Lin Xi was stunned for a second and retracted his senses, and Mr. Yao introduced, "You two shouldn't have seen each other, right? This is our major shareholder of Langyi, Lin Xi." ”

Lin Xi's man shook hands, the other party's hand was very strong, and the holding posture was very standard, and even the number of seconds it lasted seemed to be calculated. looked down at her, his cold eyes fell on her face like scrutiny, and he said politely, "Hello, I'm Ji Bei", without emotion or reaction.

Ji Bei? Lin Xi's first reaction was whether there were still people in his family called Ji Dong, Ji Xi, and Ji Nan.

After a short acquaintance, Lin Xi only felt that the other party was born with a noble and domineering momentum, not like Yao Qian's indifference that deliberately showed her.

The woman is a superficial animal, and the double standard is serious.

In the elevator, Mr. Yao explained, "The Ji Shao just now is the young prince of Zhongshi's development, but Zhongshi is still in charge of the Ji family's fathers, and there are also a bit of internal contradictions." He had ambitions so he came out and got Jingshi Capital by himself, and when Zhengxiong had an accident, he approached me and wanted to take a stake in Langyi, but you didn't plan to sell it to Vice President Wen, so I didn't tell you again. He has invested a lot in angels and venture capital, and private equity has also done well, and he is very unique at a young age. ”

*

The tea room was already prepared, and the two of them sat down. Lin Xi doesn't have much research on tea art and is more used to drinking coffee, but he also loves green tea and flower tea.

The man on the other side of the table was obviously very good at tea art, and first told Lin Xi about the tea ceremony, and was busy washing the pot, brewing, washing tea, and serving tea... The movements were smooth and slow, Lin Xi listened to him patiently, and watched the other party's tea-making movements with a well-behaved look.

With a moist warmth in the tea room, Lin Xi spoke, "Let's talk about things openly." The first thing I looked for among all the directors was you, and I recognized and admired your ability to manage the company. Although the number of hotels managed in North China is not as high as that in South China, the annual revenue is almost the same as that in South China. After the completion of Dihua's acquisition, North China will definitely be able to make a breakthrough in performance. And second-"

Lin Xi paused, "You didn't put pressure on me like the other directors, I guess it was because of the friendship with my father who has worked hard for so many years, and you have shown mercy to my subordinates." ”

Mr. Yao picked up the teacup very elegantly, and took a sip of tea, "Listen to what you mean, and you don't plan to quit Langyi?"

Lin Xi, "When my father first had an accident, I did think about giving out all the shares in my hand, but fortunately, someone woke me up. Langyi is the world that my father and you and He always fought together, how can I casually let Langyi fall into the hands of people who take advantage of others?

As the current interim CEO, although Mr. Liao has outstanding ability, he is not the original founder after all, and the relationship with my father does not seem to be very harmonious in recent years. Now he's putting pressure on me with a few junior directors, I guess to take power and weaken the founders.

So more than anything else, I would naturally prefer you to take over the position of CEO. I believe that my father would have chosen this way if he were alive. ”

Lin Xi took a sip of tea and pondered for a moment, making himself more calm in an unhurried tone, "Now I don't plan to transfer or sell all the shares in my hands, but right now, I really don't have the ability to manage Langyi." I didn't come forward to explain the rumors from the outside world, I just wanted to see who I could trust. ”

Mr. Yao, "Do you see that?"

Lin Xi grinned and showed a sweet smile, "Aren't you sitting here and drinking tea with you?"

The man across the rosewood table had an amiable face.

"Help you to ascend to the position, in exchange, you take me to participate in the company's affairs, and by the way, weaken the power of President Liao. ”

She stopped going around the bend, and her voice fell and waited for Mr. Yao's answer.

The other party had an official kind smile on his face, but he couldn't smile in his eyes, revealing that his mind was not as gentle as it seemed on the surface.

"I'm actually a person who is easily satisfied, and when Masao was alive, he was very capable, and almost every decision was made without mistakes. I was thinking, I, the president of North China, would retire. The middle-aged man's tone was calm, and his voice was full of anger, as if he was sighing.

Capturing the meaning of the man's words, his eyes fell on the teacup in front of Mr. Yao, "The world is unpredictable, and now that my father died unexpectedly, I guess Mr. Yao's mind has also changed." Not to mention that Mr. Liao was elected as the interim president by the board of directors, and as one of your founders, the president of Lavida should not be his turn. She paused, and raised her eyes to Mr. Yao's bright eyes, "You may be an easily satisfied person, but you are not an unambitious person." ”

When Lin Xi said the word "ambition", the middle-aged man's brows tightened slightly, and then loosened slightly, and even his originally straight back was relaxed a little, his legs were folded, and he leaned back on the back of the chair, and his posture looked much more casual.

"Then Mr. Lin, didn't you also vote for Mr. Liao at that time?"

Indeed, a year ago on the board of directors, Lin Xi voted for Mr. Liao very casually according to the reason that he was the first in performance in South China.

He folded his hands and put them on his lap, "Mr. Lin is right, the position one step away must have been coveted by Langyi for so many years, and now is also a good time." I naturally want the position of president, but you want me to teach you company affairs, to open up contacts for you, and to fight with Mr. Liao, I have supported your father for decades, and after sitting in the position of president, if I am still just working hard for your Lin family, why don't I continue to be the president of my Greater North China region, and be stable until I retire?"

Lin Xi had already expected that the position of president alone would not be enough to arouse the desire of this man who had worked hard in the mall for many years, and smiled, "As I said before, I don't plan to transfer or sell all the shares in my hands." I definitely can't play you with intrigues, and I don't like to go around in circles, you say the number. ”

"Like your father, he's a cheerful man. Perhaps he wanted to use these words to arouse Lin Xi's family affection.

Compared with Lin Zhengxiong, Lin Xi did not feel happy or even a little disgusted. She was slandered in her heart, but she still sat with a calm expression, with a polite smile, waiting for Mr. Yao's conditions.

“10%。 ”

Looking at each other, the little girl's eyes did not wave, let alone dodge, and she spoke flatly, "5%." ”

“8%。 Mr. Yao didn't say much and continued to quote.

"5%, equal shares, same rights, sold to you at market price. Without concessions, he smiled self-deprecatingly, "I'm not afraid of your jokes when I say it, I also have ambitions, even if I can't be the president, I am reluctant to give up the position on the board of directors." But you can calculate, I'm only 22 years old this year, as long as there are no major decision-making mistakes, and the position of president of Lavida Greater China, you can retire. 5%, that's enough. ”

When Lin Xi spoke, he kept looking at Mr. Yao's eyes without taking his eyes off.

The woman on the other side is a few years younger than her daughter, her delicate and delicate face still has the immaturity that has not faded, and the words she says are even a little simple, and the city government is not deep and can't hide too many emotions on her face, but there is a fearlessness in her eyes, staring directly at people, Yao always has an illusion that she wants to be seen through.
