In the morning, the northwest wind howled across the city.

The temperature is getting colder.

Just after half past seven, Xue Chunlan was about to go out to work, when suddenly the phone rang and remembered, she didn't think about it, so she walked to the living room and picked it up: "Which one?"

"Chunlan, I'm Xue Guangzu. Xue Guangzu speaks half-native Mandarin, and he hasn't met for many years, if it is purely by virtue of his accent, Xue Chunlan really can't hear that it is Xue Guangzu.

Moreover, after so many years, the Xue family has never taken the initiative to call Xue Chunlan. The only contact was that Xue Chunlan took the initiative to contact the two brothers of the Xue family.

Xue Chunlan was stunned: "Big brother?"

Xue Guangzu smiled: "It's me." The old man asked me to talk to you about something. ”

Xue Chunlan sighed: "Say it, I'll listen." ”

Xue Guangzu lowered his voice and said, "I heard that your future son-in-law is participating in the restructuring of the people's shopping mall in the provincial capital?"

Xue Chunlan nodded: "I heard Xiaoice say this, Guo Yang's Ai Bing Group seems to be operating to participate in the asset restructuring of the People's Mall." However, this is his business, and our Zhou family did not get involved in it. ”

Xue Guangzu said softly: "The old man still approves of Xiao Guo, he thinks that this young man is very good and has great potential. What he is doing now is very discerning, and the old man is optimistic about him!"

Xue Chunlan was puzzled, and said in her heart that you suddenly called me just to express the Xue family's appreciation for Guo Yang?

Xue Guangzu immediately said: "The old man said, he can come forward to help Xiao Guo completely deal with this matter, the water of the old state-owned enterprise of the People's Shopping Mall is very deep, and the old man is also worried that Xiao Guo does not know the depth of the water and puts himself in it." ”

Xue Chunlan was overjoyed: "That dare is good, the old man came forward to say hello, which of those cows, ghosts, snakes and gods in the province doesn't give face?" Thank you for me, old man!"

Xue Guangzu laughed dryly: "Chunlan, I have an idea-this is not the old man's idea, it is completely my personal idea." ”

Xue Chunlan secretly sneered in her heart, she knew that Xue Guangzu still had the following, this may not be the meaning of the old man, even if Xue Guangzu said that it was the meaning of the old man, it was basically Xue Guangzu's fake holy decree.

Xue Chunlan knows her very well about her eldest brother, who is very realistic and attaches importance to interests.

"Big brother, you say. ”

Xue Guangzu smiled: "Look, what about your nephew Xue Peng, he has not had a suitable job after graduating from college, let him enter the agency, and he didn't adapt to it after working for more than a year, so he resigned and went to sea." He has now also started a company and started his own business, after all, he is his own child, and we as elders should help him, right?"

Xue Chunlan basically guessed Xue Guangzu's true intentions, but she still didn't pretend not to understand: "Big brother, what do you mean?"

"I think, Xiao Guo's current business is very big, the old man said that the public opinion in the province has been paying attention to Ai Bing Group in the past two days, and the momentum is quite big, they have restructured the assets of the people's shopping mall this time, can Xue Peng's company also be involved?"

Xue Chunlan said in her heart, sure enough!

But she still pretended to be surprised and said: "Big brother, I heard that the provincial policy requires that only one private enterprise is allowed to restructure the assets of the people's shopping mall, and the province has already set a frame, how can Xue Peng's company participate?"

Xue Guangzu smiled dryly: "This is not easy to operate? You can first change Xue Peng's company to a shareholder of Ai Bing Group, so that Xue Peng's company can participate in this asset restructuring in disguise, and then if Ai Bing Group goes public through a backdoor listing in the future, Xue Peng can also get a little ......."

Xue Chunlan almost turned her face on the spot, because she felt that her eldest brother was a little shameless.

She didn't know what kind of leather bag company your son Xue Peng had set up, but Xue Guangzu made this kind of request, obviously asking Guo Yang Chiguoguo for a large piece of benefits. With the current asset status of Ai Bing Group, Xue Peng's company has become a shareholder of Ai Bing Group, which almost out of thin air took a piece of fat from Guo Yang's hands to eat.

It's a beautiful idea!

But Xue Chunlan couldn't turn her face directly.

She smiled and said: "Big brother, I don't know much about these things, I don't understand any asset restructuring, business operation, or change of shareholders." Otherwise, when I see Xiao Guo, tell him about it?"

When Xue Guangzu heard it, he was shirking, and couldn't help but say urgently: "Chunlan, this matter can't be delayed." I got conclusive news from the province, Vice Governor Yao led the promotion of the restructuring and restructuring of some provincial state-owned enterprises, the province is ready to make the asset restructuring of the people's shopping mall a benchmark, grasp it very tightly, I think you should hurry up and contact Xiao Guo, you must let him seize the opportunity!"

"If you miss this time, it will be difficult to have such an opportunity in the future. You tell him that as long as he nods, in fact, there is no need for the old man to come forward, I have a good relationship with Gu Changsheng of the provincial department, and he should give me this face. ”

"Otherwise, you give me the phone number, and I will contact Xiao Guo directly?"

As soon as Xue Guangzu said this, Xue Chunlan frowned, and said in her heart that your eating appearance is also a little ugly, and in order to grab benefits for your son, you are a little unscrupulous.

In fact, Xue Chunlan is like a mirror in her heart, Xue Guangzu is trying to use the Xue family's network resources and personal influence, and in this matter, exchange interests with Guo Yang - you give me benefits, I will contribute to you, and everyone takes what they need.

Xue Chunlan was very annoyed, but she knew that she couldn't fall out with Xue Guangzu yet, because once she fell out, the relationship between the Zhou family and the Xue family, which had just eased, would fall into the freezing point again. Moreover, with the Xue family's big roots in the Northern Province, Xue Guangzu said a word behind his back, and he could mess up Guo Yang's incident this time.

"Big brother, let me contact Xiao Guo, but after all, this is his own company, can he agree, he is in charge, I can't make up my mind for him. Xue Chunlan said.

Xue Guangzu repeatedly told Xue Chunlan on the other end of the phone, asking Xue Chunlan to give him an answer as soon as possible, and then hung up the phone.

Putting down the phone receiver, Xue Chunlan couldn't help but sneer.

At this point, things are clear at a glance. It was not at all that the old man of the Xue family wanted to come forward to help Guo Yang mediate the people's shopping mall, but that Xue Guangzu got the news and wanted to bring his son Xue Peng the opportunity to make a fortune through the exchange of interests.

But Xue Guangzu is the son of the Xue family after all, and if he doesn't give Xue Guangzu face, he doesn't give face to the Xue family.

Xue Chunlan thought about it, and called Guo Yang directly in person. Xue Chunlan briefly talked to Guo Yang on the phone about Xue Guangzu's proposals and requirements, although she didn't say it explicitly, she still hinted to Guo Yang that if she could, she might as well consider giving Xue Peng a little meat to eat, and actually pulling the Xue family into the Ai Bing Group, in the long run, there is no harm to Guo Yang, or the benefits outweigh the disadvantages and the income outweighs the pay.

Of course, this is just Xue Chunlan's idea, Guo Yang is willing to refuse, she is not sure.

Listening to Xue Chunlan's words, Guo Yang fell silent.

"Mom, can you let me think about it first?" Because he is officially engaged, Guo Yang has changed his mind about Xue Chunlan and Zhou Dingnan.

Xue Chunlan sighed: "Guo Yang, don't be too embarrassed, think about it, my eldest brother is a bit too philistine, and his son is not very competitive, so I want to rely on this matter to help him, anyway, you think about it carefully, what I mean is not to oppose but not to interfere with your decision." ”

"I see. Guo Yang said softly.

Xue Chunlan hung up the phone.

Guo Yang stuffed his phone back into his pocket, and his face was a little gloomy.

Of course, he knows the energy of the Xue family very well, if the Xue family is willing to say hello, the asset restructuring of the People's Shopping Mall by Ai Bing Group will definitely be extremely smooth, and the green light will be given all the way.

But Xue Guangzu's appetite was too great.

To put it mildly, in terms of the value of part of the equity of the Ai Bing Group, and the current situation of the Ai Bing Group and the long-term development potential in the future, judging from the overall judgment, even one percent of the equity is not a small amount.

More importantly, Guo Yang has basically won the matter of Ai Bing Group's participation in the asset restructuring of the People's Shopping Mall. Although there were still twists and turns in between, the results were not unexpected. In this context, Xue Guangzu's greeting was at most the icing on the cake rather than a charcoal in the snow.

But Guo Yang also knew that the Xue family could not be easily offended.

On the one hand, the Xue family is Xue Chunlan's maiden family after all, and there is still a layer of kinship; on the other hand, the Xue family can affect a large area by stomping their feet in the Northern Province, and their power and influence are undoubted, if they offend the Xue family because of this kind of thing, it will inevitably bring big trouble to Guo Yang.

Guo Yang was in a dilemma for a while.

He is not stingy, but giving Xue Peng equity means that the Xue family has infiltrated his Ai Bing Group, and in case the Xue family is not greedy enough in the future, it will be even more difficult.

What to do?

Guo Yang walked slowly out of the office of the press center, walked to the end of the corridor and lit a cigarette. Lin Meimei came up from downstairs and saw Guo Yang hiding in the corner smoking, and giggled: "Guo Yang, do you have to run to the door of the toilet when you smoke?"

Guo Yang waved his hand to Lin Meimei distraughtly and ignored her. How can he have time to talk to Lin Meimei now.

Lin Meimei pouted: "What are you dragging? Since I became a broken director, I don't know what my surname is, and I still put up a stinky shelf with my mother, it's true!"

Lin Meimei muttered and walked over.

After Guo Yang smoked this cigarette, he slowly made a decision.

He decided to refuse Xue Guangzu's request.

He is not stingy with a little equity of Ai Bing Group, let alone stingy with the benefits of the Xue family, but Ai Bing Group is his personal business empire built by him, and he does not want and cannot let external forces infiltrate him, thus affecting his absolute control over his fate and future.

Even the Xue family can't do it.

He didn't know how Xue Guangzu would react, but even if he offended the Xue family because of this, he would not hesitate to do it, this was his principle and bottom line.
