For Xiao Tian, Mingyao is his, and Tianrui is also his, and it is very natural and reasonable for him to make his own preferences and arrangements for the two companies' businesses.

For Qiu Yan, Tianrui takes advantage of the situation, which naturally has more advantages than disadvantages.

In addition to focusing on the future and value of Mingyao's own business development, Mingyao is also an important medium and springboard for Chu's to establish a cooperative relationship with Yuntian and Jurui International.

So at the moment, in addition to their personal grievances, their respective disputes also have different reasons for their respective positions. But this difference in position has become a blatant reason that cannot be put on the table because of the concealment of Xiao Tian Blue Leaf Capital.

Xiao Tian's suffering is here.

If he tells this secret now, he will sit on Caiyue's conjecture about his ambiguous relationship with Chu Mingzhu. Because if it weren't for the unimaginable level of trust, no one would do something like him that completely hides his assets in the name of others. That is equivalent to putting your own net worth and life in the hands of the other party.

Sure enough, after only a few rounds, the negotiations were completely deadlocked.

Caiyue directly rejected the possibility of cooperation at the moment. And Chu Mingzhu was confined to Xiao Tian and Qiu Yan, especially the ambiguity of Xiao Tian's own position, and did not refuse to argue, because Caiyue's opposition was not unreasonable.

"I think this proposal might as well be put on hold for a moment. Since Caiyue thinks that this cooperation plan is unfair to Mingyao, I think we can make some adjustments appropriately. What do you think?"

In the end, it was Qiu Yan who came up with this compromise that was not too ugly. That is, cooperation can continue to be discussed, but the specific cooperation method can be discussed by both sides.

Cai Yue nodded, "If the new cooperation plan is beneficial to Mingyao, of course I can consider it." ”

Qiu Yan breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, it seems that Caiyue is not so paranoid that he is too emotional because of Xiao Tian's relationship. At the very least, her position and statement today are not excessive and incomprehensible for who she is now.

Xiao Tian and Chu Mingzhu also nodded.

At this point in the negotiations, it is almost time for dinner, and if several people do not plan to eat together, they should go their separate ways. Chu Mingzhu obviously didn't want to eat together, she immediately stood up and said that she had something to leave. Then she looked at Xiao Tian.

"Are you coming with me?"

Throughout the negotiation, Chu Mingzhu stood in the position of Mingyao's new shareholders and expressed Mingyao's position of cooperating with Tianrui, Caiyue stood in the position of Mingyao's original shareholders and opposed the cooperation between the two, and Qiu Yan stood in the position of Tianrui's shareholders to express the benefits of Mingyao's cooperation with Tianrui. Only Xiao Tian, he barely spoke during the whole negotiation.

At this moment, Chu Mingzhu asked him like this, and he hung his head and nodded.

"You owe me a few meals, and you have to make up for it today. Otherwise, I don't know how long I'll have to wait for the next time. Chu Mingzhu asked Xiao Tian to invite her to dinner in person.

She really didn't ask too much. She has been to the city many times for cooperation, and Xiao Tian, as the host, should treat her well. It's just that right now, in front of Caiyue, this is really not a good occasion to agree to invite her. But refusal is even more unreasonable.

"Qiu Yan, it just so happens that we haven't eaten together for a long time, otherwise, you and Caiyue will come together. At the critical moment, Xiao Tian pulled Qiu Yan to make a cushion again.

If he directly invited Cai Yue, he would definitely be rejected by Cai Yue, and it would also make Chu Mingzhu lose face. But Qiu Yan is a shareholder of Tianrui with him, and at today's dinner, he pulled Qiu Yan and Qiu Yan naturally pulled up Caiyue, so it was barely logical. This is also another meaning for him to call Qiu Yan here today.

Qiu Yan didn't answer immediately, but looked at Caiyue.

"I think that Xiao Dong and Mr. Chu should have something to say in private, so I won't join in the fun. Have fun! I'm one step ahead. ”

Cai Yue was simply gone, and after speaking, he took his bag and drove away.

When she left, Qiu Yan naturally didn't want to be the super-wattage big bulb in Chu Mingzhu's eyes, so he also replied, "Next time, we have a chance to eat", and then followed Caiyue and left the tea room.

Chu Tianyunmeng, Tianzi No. 1 private room, Xiao Tian and Chu Mingzhu sat at the dining table.

"Zhu'er, thank you!" Xiao Tian raised his glass to Chu Mingzhu.

Today, Chu Mingzhu was very weak in the negotiations, and Xiao Tian knew that it was because Chu Mingzhu cared about his feelings and position, so he was not aggressive towards Cai Yue. Otherwise, the current situation is that on the surface, the Chu family is the absolute controlling person who holds 64% of Mingyao, and she can completely ignore Caiyue's opposition and strongly promote the cooperation between Mingyao and Tianrui. But she didn't.

Chu Mingzhu smiled indifferently, raised his head and drank the wine in the cup.

"Thank me? Aren't you doing this just because you believe that I won't really shamelessly swallow your shares? How many people can you meet in this life? Since I am fortunate enough to meet you, I will cherish it and will not disappoint those who truly believe in me. ”

Xiao Tian raised his glass again, looking at Chu Mingzhu with a deep and sincere look in his eyes.

"Then thank fate for letting us meet! I said it was my luck to meet you!"

Chu Mingzhu didn't smile this time, hung his head and was silent for a while, and then raised his glass.

The two clinked glasses, each drinking the wine in the cup.

"Zhou Caiyue is a very smart woman, she should have guessed the cooperation between you and me. You can't hide it from her for too long, it's better to say it sooner than later. ”

When Chu Mingzhu said this, he looked at Xiao Tian.

Regarding the anti-takeover, Cai Yue was completely unaware of the cooperation plan reached by Xiao Tian and her in private. But she was so perfectly matched with their plans. Cai Yue's outstanding performance made Chu Mingzhu look at her with admiration. She had to admit that Caiyue's thoughts and methods were beyond her imagination.

Xiao Tian smiled bitterly.

He didn't know that it was better to say it earlier than later, but there were some things, knowing the future results, but it was difficult to change the current decision.

Just like at the beginning, he knew that if Cai Yue knew about her relationship and appearance with Lin Wanyun one day, she would definitely doubt his feelings for her. But didn't he choose to hide it? Because he had to hide it.

This is also the case today. He didn't say that it was bad, but if he did, maybe it would only get worse.

"Me and her, it seems that we have been slowly walking into a dead end from the beginning, no matter how we go, we will die!" Xiao Tian's expression was a little gloomy.

Cai Yue is a master of chess, and so is he.

Privately, they played against each other, and he and Caiyue won one game each, and one game was a draw. From then on, Xiao Tian knew that Cai Yue's mind was even deeper than he originally thought. Therefore, he will rest assured that he will hand over Yuntian to her, and he believes that she has the ability to face the complicated Yuntian dilemma.

As it turned out, he was right. But the facts also proved that if Caiyue's cleverness was used to doubt him, it would be a terrible thing.

Between lovers, love is still there, but trust is no longer there, which is destined to be a tragedy.

"Don't think about it so much, let's finish this meal with me first. Chu Mingzhu decisively stopped all topics related to Cai Yue.

After eating, Chu Mingzhu asked Xiao Tian to accompany her and take a walk in the street park not far away.

"What are you going to do if she sticks to her current position?" Chu Mingzhu asked as he walked around.

Xiao Tian sighed, "I don't know." ”

Chu Mingzhu looked at Xiao Tian with a little resentment in his eyes.

"At the beginning, I persuaded the board of directors to approve the acquisition of Mingyao by guaranteeing the cooperation between Mingyao and Tianrui. You know, for an acquisition like this, which requires tens of billions of dollars, I, the CEO who put forward the acquisition proposal, will be primarily responsible for the implementation of the plan after the acquisition. ”

Xiao Tian nodded: "I know." ”

In addition to Mingyao's own reasons, Chu's board of directors also agreed to invest in the acquisition of Mingyao because it could establish a cooperative relationship with Yuntian and Jurui International at the same time after the acquisition of Mingyao. If Mingyao and Tianrui fail to cooperate, Chu Mingzhu may resign because of this matter.

This kind of serious result was something that neither of them had expected before, and it was also an important reason why Xiao Tian was particularly difficult when facing Caiyue.

Chu Mingzhu took the risk to make the decision to acquire Mingyao, although it was out of the interests of the Chu family, but also out of affection for him. If he insists on going his own way for the sake of picking the moon, it is tantamount to trapping Chu Mingzhu in unkindness and injustice.

The two sat down on a chair in a hidden part of the park.

Not far away, the surface of the artificial lake in the center of the park shimmers slightly under the unidentified street lamps.

Chu Mingzhu looked at the lake and asked Xiao Tian a question that he was most unwilling to face now.

"If Zhou Caiyue really leaves you completely because of this incident and chooses to throw herself into Qiu Yan's arms, will you compromise for her?"

Xiao Tian and Cai Yue, the resentful couple, have a lot of trouble with Bo Gongtang, and now the entire media and the Internet are in an uproar, how could Chu Mingzhu not know? With the current relationship between the two and the current Mingyao, the relationship between Cai Yue and Xiao Tian is likely to be irretrievable.

"Pearl, don't ask me that kind of question again. ”

Xiao Tian chose to escape.

For a long time, Cai Yue's possible departure was the problem that Xiao Tian was most afraid of facing. At the beginning, he wanted Caiyue to get pregnant earlier, and the most important reason was that he wanted the child to become an important magic code to prevent her from leaving him. While this may sound unfair to children, it is realistic and effective.

Xiao Tian's usual wisdom and determination make his current escape seem particularly heavy and bleak.

Chu Mingzhu raised his head and looked at the bright moon in the sky that was slowly disappearing into the clouds, and his eyes were a little moist. She once again saw Xiao Tian's fragility and hesitation because of this love.

She grabbed Xiao Tian's arm with both hands and rested her head gently on his shoulder.
