Under the guidance of the waiter, several people came to the sixth floor of the Jockey Club and pushed open a bright and luxurious private room, Guo Zhilong sat in the main seat, Ye Ning and Yu Xiufeng left and right, Guo Zhilong's driver, bodyguard and personal helper consciously arranged lunch.

"Brother Guo, the environment here is really good. Ye Ning turned his face sideways, through a whole viewing glass curtain wall, just a standard football field size racecourse below, the green grass was trimmed evenly, dozens of faucets spewed out large splashes, like a ballerina's flying skirt, the sun shines, the fun is suddenly born, people can't help but feel a sense of comfort in the spring back to the earth.

"Brother Ye also likes horse racing?" Guo Zhilong took a sip of black tea and said with a smile: "Marseille is generally on weekends, and occasionally on holidays, if Brother Ye is not too busy, you can often fly over to play, if you are interested, you can also consider buying a few horses and becoming your own horse owner." ”

Ye Ning was surprised: "Can you still buy a horse to participate in the race?"

Guo Zhilong nodded slightly.

Yu Xiufeng said implicitly: "To become a horse owner, first obtain the Jockey Club VIP membership, the Jockey Club's review is very strict, personal assets are only one of the various audits, I remember last year, the second Miss Rong family just returned from studying abroad, and the application submitted was rejected." ”

The implication is that it is not enough to have money, but also to have a corresponding social status, VIP membership is a symbol of status, this circle does not welcome nouveau riche, and the children of the family who have a hard back but are not hard themselves are not qualified to enter.

Guo Zhilong said: "It's not as exaggerated as Xiufeng said, Rong Meixin was rejected mainly because she hadn't officially graduated last year... Now Huayuan Group is listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, just closed at noon, and the market value has exceeded the 30 billion mark, Ruoyu's personal assets are more than 10 billion, and it is not a big problem to apply for a Jockey Club VIP membership. ”

I don't know if this guy is intentional or a language disease, naming Qiu Ruoyu is qualified, but he wants to be a recommender for himself, Ye Ning doesn't like word games, and he doesn't want to waste brain cells needlessly, so he said: "Thank you, Mr. Guo." Then the conversation changed: "Brother Guo, in fact, I asked Miss Yu to ask you to make an appointment today, there is something..."

Guo Zhilong waved his hand and interrupted: "Hey, Brother Ye, what's the hurry, Hang Seng Group and Ruide Fund have cooperated for many years, Xiufeng and I are friends, Xiufeng knows, I don't like to talk about business during dinner, if Brother Ye is not in a hurry, we can drink tea together after dinner." ”

Yu Xiufeng agreed: "Yes, Mr. Ye, after a morning of work, can you relax while eating." ”

Ye Ning smiled awkwardly, closed his mouth very knowingly, and understood in his heart, don't look at Guo Zhilong and Heqi, he has no arrogance at all, but he is a person with a strong desire to control, he allows you to play, but does not allow you to jump out of his rhythm.

Lunch is a series of Western-style set meals, two appetizers, a few slices of bread, a steak, a soup, a dessert, the amount is not large, but exquisite, the ingredients are high-quality, the taste is excellent, a meal took an hour, chatting about some relaxed topics, the atmosphere is quite good.

After the meal, the waiter cleaned up the table slightly, made three cups of afternoon black tea, Yu Xiufeng excused himself to go to the bathroom, and Ye Ning and Guo Zhilong were left in the private room.

Guo Zhilong took the initiative to say: "Brother Ye, what is there to ask me about today, I can talk about it now." ”

Ye Ning put down the teacup, calmed down, and was about to speak, but Guo Zhilong said again: "Don't you mind answering me a few questions first?"

"Absolutely. ”

"Brother Ye, how long have you and Ruoyu been married?"

"It's been more than a month. ”

"Oh, it's only been more than a month, a friend of mine revealed to me a news, the original loan to the Virtue Fund of 5 billion, was handled by Brother Ye? And the part of Huayuan shares as collateral is also in the name of Brother Ye, in other words, Brother Ye and Ruoyu have only been husband and wife in the legal sense for more than a month, Ruoyu is relieved to entrust all his personal net worth to Brother Ye, to be honest, this trust surprised me, it is tens of billions, I don't know, before getting married, how long did Brother Ye and Ruoyu know each other? How long have you been dating?" As he spoke, Guo Zhilong's gaze was firmly fixed on Ye Ning's eyes.

Ye Ning's face changed as if he had a ghost in his heart, he lowered his head and raised it a little crampedly, and said with a strong smile: "I haven't known Mr. Qiu for a long time, more than half a year, I have self-knowledge, in fact, I am not worthy of Mr. Qiu at all with my conditions, Mr. Qiu should look at me as a more honest person." ”

Guo Zhilong narrowed his eyes slightly, and smiled meaningfully: "You are not honest, Ruoyu and you are simply an agreement marriage." ”

Ye Ning was shocked and said unhappily: "Brother Guo, who are you listening to, do you believe this kind of baseless rumors?"

Guo Zhilong looked at him levelly, knocked on the table with his fingers, and said slowly: " Brother Ye, don't get excited, since you and I are sitting face to face, we should be honest with each other, I might as well tell you frankly, almost two years ago, when Huayuan was preparing to enter the medicinal materials industry, I proposed marriage to Ruoyu, firstly, I did have a good impression of her, and secondly, I came together with her, which represents the marriage of the two families, Huayuan can establish a trade channel through the overseas resources of the Guo family, and the Guo family can also infiltrate the business into China through Huayuan, in my opinion, she has no reason to refuse, this is a win-win situation..."

Ye Ning was pricking up his ears to listen, but the words suddenly stopped, gone? Damn, isn't this intended to appetize?

"Brother Guo, what about the result?

Guo Zhilong looked at Ye Ning's flickering gaze and impatient expression, and a sneer flashed in his eyes, if he was only six or seven points sure that Ye Ning and Qiu Ruoyu were an agreed marriage, then now he has eight or nine points.

After a while, he continued: "I didn't refuse directly, it's just that she put forward the request for an agreement marriage, that is to say, there is only the name of husband and wife, not the reality of husband and wife, of course, for the big family, agreement marriage is also a kind of marriage, and it still promotes the establishment of mutual cooperation, as a result..."

This is normal, as far as Guo Zhilong is concerned, unless he wants to improve his status in the family through marriage, how can he be willing to marry a fake wife with a different bed, a different room, or even a different place?

Ye Ning was silent, and his expression was erratic.

"Okay, I told the only secret in my heart, I think I am full of sincerity, next, it's time to see your sincerity, Brother Ye. Guo Zhide took a few breaths of tea and took a sip, then said slowly: "I just need you to answer me one more question, and then we will discuss it in detail, the current problem that you, or Ruoyu, have encountered." ”
