Hearing this, I fell silent, and I had already guessed in my heart who this person would be, but I didn't expect this call to actually come.

Seeing that I didn't speak, the other party took the initiative to say again: "Your words, I have personally conveyed them to you last time, we can talk about the mine." ”

He paused and asked, "Do you have time now?"

I finally came back to my senses, and I immediately replied to his words: "Yes." ”

He said, "Okay, let's make an appointment at the café across the street from the hotel." ”

I didn't talk too much nonsense, because I still haven't figured out what the situation is, so I quickly hung up the phone just in case I got too much of a mistake.

After hanging up the phone, I picked up my bag from the sofa and got up and left, Li Luo chased after me, saw me in such a hurry, grabbed me and asked, "Did something happen? Where are you going?" Li Luo heard me say this, and he asked a little unconvinced: "Really?"

I said, "Pauline's assistant called me." ”

I said, "Yes, he asked me to meet me at a café across the street from the hotel." ”

Li Luo said quickly: "Then I'll accompany you." ”

I stopped him and said, "No, I'll just go there alone, I guess it's about the mine." ”

When Li Luo heard me say this, he could only choose to compromise. After I changed my shoes, I quickly left the hotel and rushed to the café we had agreed upon, the man in black was already sitting there waiting, he was still wearing overalls, I walked towards him, this time he politely stretched out his hand to shake my hand, and said with a smile: "I'm really sorry to let you come out so suddenly." ”

Hearing him say this, I naturally smiled and politely said, "It's my honor to have a second chance to meet you." I thought about it for a moment, and then tried to ask, "What shall I call you?"

He said: "My surname is Chen, and my single name is a traceback character. ”

After he finished the introduction, we both sat down together, and he had already ordered the coffee in advance, because the waiter had already brought the coffee in the next second, and ordered a latte that suited my taste.

I looked at him directly, and we didn't have any greetings, as soon as I sat down, I cut to the topic, he said: "I had a lot of responsibilities and my boss conveyed your words that day, we Baolian has indeed just returned to China, there are many places that are not very familiar, and do not understand the rules in this circle, after all, it is always an outsider, you are the president of Yi's, I heard that Yi's has made great achievements in the manufacturing industry in recent years, and even excels in various fields, and we Baolian is naturally interested in communicating and cooperating with this excellent enterprise." ”

He was going around the bend, but I didn't have the patience to listen, I directly expressed my opinion and said, "I want this mine, I am here to discuss with you Pauline today, is there any better way for the two of us to reach a good consciousness." ”

Chen Su was not annoyed by my direct thirst, and he didn't go around, and directly responded to me and said: "We can give up this mining land in the city, but we have a request." ”

I've long guessed that everything has to be exchanged for the same, but I don't know what Pauline is going to take from me.

When he saw me staring at him so nervously, he just smiled and said, "What we want is to buy six percent of your Yu family's shares." ”

When he saw that I was watching him and not speak, he took a sip of the coffee cup he was sitting on, and asked in a low voice, "Why don't you speak?"

I also smiled and asked, "Don't you think it's incredible that you're doing this?"

He also asked rhetorically: "Let's Pauline give up the mine for no reason, don't you think this idea is also a bit whimsical?"

He stuffed me a little speechless, I could only take a sip of coffee on the table, he naturally knew that the conditions of both of us were choking each other's necks, I thought that his request was at most an exchange of equal significance, but I didn't expect him to buy Yu's shares.

This is moving the foundation of the clan.

He saw that my face was black, but he still did not lose his demeanor, he smiled and said: "You should know that there is no free lunch in the world, not to mention that this piece of this thing has been swallowed by our Baolian, and we have to spit it out to you Yi's, we have done this very sincerely, and we will even help you match with Director Lu, and when the time comes, you will talk to you as you want, and the reason why we Baolian wants to buy 6% of your Yu's shares is also because we fancy the future development prospects of Yu's, which is also what our boss means." ”

I said, "Since you know my relationship with Yu. Naturally, I also know that I have no right to speak at all, and although the six percent shares are not much, this is not something I can sit on. ”

He said, "In that case, you might as well talk to your father before you talk to us." ”

He handed me a business card and said, "If you have a good talk, you can call me at any time." ”

I sat there for a few seconds, wondering if I was going to pick up the card, but after a quick spin in my mind, I reached out and took it from him.

After that, Chen Su left, leaving me alone in the café.

Immediately after that, Yu Zhenghe's phone call came in, and he still asked me about the progress here every day.

I told him truthfully on the phone: "Dad, I have been in contact with the people over there in Pauline, and he said that he agreed to give up the land, but they have a request. ”

Yu Zhenghe was not surprised that the other party would want to trade with us, and he asked me directly: "What are their requirements?" ”

I said, "They want to buy six percent of our shares." ”

Yu Zhenghe also immediately raised his voice and said, "What did you say?!"

Instead of repeating, I gave him time to digest.

For about a minute, Yu Zhenghe said: "They really want six percent of the shares." ”

I said, "What do you think?" ”

Yu Zhenghe said: "I only have 30 percent of the Yu shares in my hand, and they take 6 percent of them at once, and I take 26 percent, so do I still want this chairman of the Yu family? What do you think I think about this matter?"

Now Yu's second share is holding 20 percent, if Yu Zhenghe sells 6 percent of the shares, and the difference between 4 percent of the shares, Yu Zhenghe's position will indeed be very dangerous and embarrassing, which is a thing that outweighs the loss.

I expected early on that the exchange of such conditions, and Yu Zhenghe, who has always been cunning, would not agree.

He said on the phone: "You tell Pauline, let them pull it down over there!"

He was so angry that he hung up the phone, I heard a beep on the phone, and directly buckled the phone, Yu Zhenghe's attitude proves that the deal collapsed?

I pondered in my heart for a long time, and then I got up from the booth with my bag in my hand and left the café.

After going back, Li Luo asked me how I talked to Bao Lian, I told him about Bao Lian's request, Li Luo also felt a little unbelievable at the time, even felt excessive, he said this, and said: "But Bao Lian's request is excessive, our request is not much better, Bao Lian is not a philanthropist, it is reasonable that there will be such a request to trade." ”

I sat on the sofa and took a sip of red wine in a goblet, and I said, "Yu Zhenghe disagrees." ”

Li Luo also leaned against the bar with a glass of red wine and looked at me, and said with a smile: "He doesn't agree, isn't it just right to solve this tricky matter for you? As a result, he didn't accept it, and that was his problem. ”

Hearing Li Luo's words, I didn't laugh or respond to him, but lowered my eyes and shook the red wine in the glass, looking at the transparent red liquid, shaking it around the cup, and then falling down the wall of the cup into the bottom of the glass, back and forth several times.

Li Luo put down the red wine in his hand and walked slowly from the other end of the bar, and when he walked up to me, he lifted my chin. His eyes fell on my lips and said, "I don't want you to have such a hard time, let's go back the day after tomorrow, okay?"

I would look back at him, and I didn't answer, he took my lips in his mouth and slowly sucked on my lips, and I didn't resist, just leaned back on the couch and let him kiss him.

Yu Zhenghe did not agree to this transaction, this matter naturally ended here, Li Luo and I left the city the next day, and on the day I went back, I did not receive a call from Fu Ziya again, probably knowing my intention to approach. That's why they cut me off.

Since this matter has no result, I naturally don't bother to maintain our relationship with her anymore.

We were on the plane that afternoon, and the plane only took two hours, after the plane landed, Li Luo had not been home for many days, naturally it was a trip to his parents, the two of us parted at the airport, I originally wanted to go to Qiao's house to see Qiao Linran's parents, but who knew that Yu Zhenghe gave me a phone call again, and immediately beckoned me to go to Yu's house.

I had to change the route and go directly to Yu's house, and I just arrived at the gate of Yu's house. Yu Manting and Xiao Ruoyun immediately walked out, Yu Manting and I haven't seen each other for a long time, she has been busy with the company's affairs abroad during this time, after I met her, I naturally took the initiative to give her a hug.

After she was hugged by me, she hugged me back, and then patted me twice on the back and said, "It's good to come back, Mom has been talking to you for a long time." ”

I let go of her, and then looked at Xiao Ruoyun beside me, her eyes were blurry and she couldn't see very clearly, and she could only vaguely tell where my shadow was, she was helped up by the servant, grabbed my arm, and stroked my face, as if trying to tell if I was thin or not, she touched it for a long time, and then frowned and said:" Lost weight, didn't you eat well during this time, oops, why do you always say that you don't listen, you kid will suffer from the body sooner or later, I don't feel it when I'm young, and I will regret it when you reach my age. ”

Xiao Ruoyun has aged a lot in recent years, and her hair has turned gray early. Especially in the past few years, the hair on the top of the head is almost completely white, and it used to be dyed. Now it's getting more and more difficult to see, and I don't even bother to dye it.

Seeing her again after such a long time, her appearance made me speechless for a long time.

When I saw that I didn't speak, I thought I was impatient with Xiao Ruoyun's nagging, so I immediately took her hand off my face, and coaxed her in a low voice: "Mom, Xiaofan is not thin, I'm watching, she has just come back from a business trip now, can you let her into the house to rest for a while, and then talk about anything else?"

I am old, I don't even have bright ears, Xiao Ruoyun listened carefully for a while, and probably heard Yu Manting's words clearly, so she said several good words in a row, but her hand refused to let go of me, Yu Manting pushed it away, she grabbed my wrist again, and pulled me towards the house, as if she was afraid that I would disappear in the blink of an eye.

Yu Manting glanced at me helplessly, she could only take the luggage from my hand, let her pull me, and I followed her quietly, she kept thinking there, saying that there are a lot of favorite foods prepared at home, and I must eat more later.

I don't speak, blindly follow her quietly, so many years, I have never been able to forgive her, no matter how good she is to me, the original thing is like a scar on my heart, even if our relationship has been much better than before in recent years, but when we get along. You can't peel off that film.

After arriving in the living room, Yu Zhenghe should not have come back yet, after the servant brought a lot of food, Xiao Ruoyun put it into my bowl one by one, Yu Manting knew that she couldn't see it, let her clip less, I know how to eat, Xiao Ruoyun also scolded her for not knowing that she felt sorry for me, but it made Yu Manting cry and laugh.

During the whole meal, I didn't say much, I ate whatever she gave me. Even though there were some dishes I didn't really like, I didn't pick them out, but ate them one by one.

The meal took about half an hour, Yu Zhenghe's car stopped at the gate, after he got out of the car, I put down the dishes and chopsticks in my hand and immediately stood up from the dining table, and called him as he walked in: "Dad." ”

He glanced at me, then at the food on the table, and without even having much time to greet me, he said to me, "Come to the study, I have something to talk to you about." ”

Xiao Ruoyun listened and immediately replied: "The child hasn't eaten yet!"

Yu Zhenghe didn't look at him, and walked straight towards the study.

I guess what he wanted to talk to me about the mine was about the mine, so I didn't waste time and immediately followed behind Yu Zhenghe.

After the two of us entered the study one after the other, the servant had just brought in the tea, and Yu Zhenghe directly ordered: "Close the door and go out." ”

When the servant heard his command, he glanced at him, and did not dare to rub it in, so he immediately went out of the study, and closed the door by the way.

When there were only two of us left in the study, Yu Zhenghe didn't even touch the teacups on the table. He said to me directly: "I have been thinking about the matter of that land for the past few days, and since Baolian is unwilling to give in, then we can only agree." ”

He pointed at me and said, "Since that's the case, you can fly me to the city tomorrow and talk to Baolian again." ”

This piece of land is very tempting for Yu Zhenghe, I didn't expect him to agree, such a deal, but I was a little caught off guard, and I couldn't even react, I reminded him: "Dad, you have thought clearly." Pauline is going to buy six percent of our shares, which is dangerous for you, you"

He directly interrupted me and said: "I know, this is really bad for me, but it is also beneficial, what kind of company is Baolian? If he wants to buy our shares of Yu's, it means that our Yu's potential is indeed huge, and once it is rumored that such a large company has settled in our Yu's, this is also a good thing for us." ”

He picked up the teacup on the table and said, "I have thought very clearly these days, the mine is for our Yu family. It's a lot of development, do you know what is the most profitable thing now? Building a house is now a little bit of a fuss, and now only the development of resources is the most profitable thing. ”

Hearing Yu Zhenghe's affirmative tone, I asked, "So you've decided?"

Yu Zhenghe hummed and said, "Yes, so you must do a good job for me this time." ”

I said, "Baolian said that she would introduce us to Lu Pingfan, so let's go to see Lu Pingfan, can we go like this?"

This is a sensitive issue, although Baolian said to help us introduce, but in fact, Lu Pingfan still has to build a good relationship, and there is hope for this land in our hands.

When Yu Zhenghe heard my words, he was silent for a long time, and after a while. He said, "In this way, tomorrow you will come with something, and remember to ask Pauline to invite even his wife to come over." ”

After he finished speaking, he suddenly got up and went to the safe on the side, took out a box from it and put it on the table, I looked at him, and then I stretched out my hand to open it, and inside was an incomparably large and brilliant pink diamond.

I glanced up at Yu Zhenghe in a little surprise, and I frowned and asked, "Will this gift be too expensive?"

Yu Zhenghe took a sip of tea, sneered and said: "This kind of person will only dislike the gift lightly, and will not feel expensive, what is valuable, they will give you something quickly, there is no benefit, do you still want others to help you?"

When Yu Zhenghe said this, he told again: "Be careful to send it, don't be known." ”

Regarding Yu Zhenghe's words, I didn't answer immediately, but fell silent.

When he saw that I didn't speak, he knew what I was worried about, he glanced at me, slowly put down the teacup in his hand, and suddenly smiled and said: "I am your father, I will never harm you, you know this kind of thing, as long as you don't say it, I don't say it, no second person will know, so don't worry, there won't be anything." ”

He simply got up from the chair, walked over to me, put his hand on my shoulder, and said to me in a serious tone: "At the beginning, my father had a little misunderstanding about you, but now it seems that you are the most capable of all my children, your eldest brother is not successful, and your second brother is not here, and your sister is an indecisive person, I am also so old, the company will have to find a capable heir sooner or later, your sister is naïve and immature, and only you can help your father share some of it." ”

He patted me on the shoulder and said, "Come on, this matter is going to be done, you can also rest for a while, and take your mother and sister to Bali for a trip, I heard that the weather there is quite good now." ”

I struggled in my heart for a long time, and my hand holding the diamond box almost broke out in a cold sweat, and for a long time, I said, "Okay, I will definitely handle this matter, Dad, don't worry." ”

He suddenly asked again, "By the way, have you been taking the medicine lately?"

I said, "Not much." ”

He said worriedly: "You must remember to eat on time, you see that since taking those medicines, you are much better now, so you must not stop." ”

I said, "I see, thank you dad for your concern." ”

He nodded in relief.

After Yu Zhenghe left the study, I put away the box of diamonds in my hand. He walked out as if nothing had happened.

After that, Yu Zhenghe was in a good mood, so he invited everyone back, saying that they would have a reunion dinner together, and he also specially told me to let Qiao Linran come with him.

Qiao Linran and I haven't seen each other for a long time since the last wedding in Chenxi, let alone contact, and now when the Yu family and the Qiao family are officially in close contact, he asked Qiao Linran to come over, probably to maintain our relationship.

In addition, Xiao Ruoyun has been asking Qiao Linran all the time, so I can only make a phone call. Ask him if he has time to come back for dinner.

Qiao Linran was the cry of the child, and the voice of the woman coaxing the child, he said directly: "Do you really think that your Yu family is the emperor's old son? ”

After he finished speaking, he hung up the phone directly, and the crying of the child on the other end of the phone also stopped abruptly, I stood there holding the mobile phone as usual, glanced at the street lamp outside, and the servant came over to remind me, saying that it was time to eat.

I turned around and walked towards the restaurant, Yu's house was indeed lively today. Even Du Fengqi, who has been shouting about headaches, is difficult to come out today, Yu Chenxi is also back, with her newlywed husband, the two of them have just gotten married, and they are naturally extremely sweet, without caring about the people around them, snuggling up to each other there, feeding both sides desserts.

When Yu Zhenghe saw me coming, he asked me, "How is it?"

I whispered, "He's not coming, he's something." ”

When Yu Chenxi, who was talking to me and me, heard it, he said with a smile: "He has something, he is busy taking care of his son on his lover's side." ”

Her words made the dining table in a commotion, Xiao Ruoyun was in a hurry, she immediately pushed the chair behind her, squinted her eyes and staggered at me and said, "What lover, what son, Xiao Fan, what's the matter." ”

I glanced at Yu Chenxi with my eyes, and she became more and more proud when she saw me like this, and said to Xiao Ruoyun: "Mom, you don't know, you have recently liked to be a grandmother." The woman raised by the brother-in-law outside gave birth to a big fat boy, not to mention how happy he is now, it seems that he is preparing to take the child back to Qiao's house in a month or two, and go to the old lady Qiao for a showdown. ”

But who knew that as soon as Yu Chenxi finished saying this, it was Yu Zhenghe who was angry, he slapped the table and said loudly: "Bastard thing!"
