118. Deliberately approaching
Obviously we didn't have much chance to catch up again, we could only watch them leave our sight, Li Luo and I stood there for a while, because the play was going to be played enough, and we couldn't let others follow us, so we stayed in the teahouse and drank tea for an hour, and then we left and returned to the hotel.
After a day of stalking, we were all a little tired, and after Li Luo went to the kitchen and poured me a glass of ice water, he asked me, "Why are we following them?"
I took the glass from his hand, and after drinking it in one gulp, I raised my eyes to look at Li Luo and said, "Because the other party is likely to be my competitor." ”
Li Luo frowned and asked, "Do you really want to help your father with this project?"
I asked lightly, "Can't you?"
Li Luo rushed over, immediately sat down next to me, raised his voice and asked, "Are you crazy? What do you do with this kind of thing?
For Li Luo's excitement, I just smiled faintly and said: "I really want to win this project, Li Luo, you should know that there is a lot of pressure to survive in the family, if you don't work hard, you will be eliminated, you can't get any rights, that's why I have to complete the task my father sent me." ”
Li Luo said: "But this is a crime. ”
He was reminding me that I knew he was worried about me, and that he wasn't too intimately cautious in other ways.
I raised my hand and landed on his shoulder and smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'm an adult and I know what to do and what not to do." I wouldn't have used the previous method, if I had used the previous method, I would have gone to Lu Pingfan by now, and I wouldn't have spent so much time tracking others. ”
Li Luo heard the meaning of my words, he frowned and said, "You mean to say that you want to find the person who is determined?"
I said: "I have to understand what deal that person has with Lu Fanping, only by figuring out who the opponent is and the details of the opponent, can we be qualified to compete, if I don't figure out the other party, then my enemy is everyone, so I will lose from the beginning, let alone squeeze into the internal list." ”
When Li Luo heard me say this, he finally put his mind at ease, and he also agreed with my approach, he said, "Why don't I go to my father and ask about this?"
I smiled and said, "It's too far away, and your father doesn't interfere in the affairs of the city." ”
Li Luo said: "Although the affairs of the city are not under his control, but you know, the people who go to this area have some connections, otherwise he would not have told me that the mining project has been determined a long time ago, and since he knows that it has been determined, he should also know who the people who have been determined." ”
Li Luo's logic seems to make sense, even if the city is separated from us by several cities, but just like Li Luo said, people who go to this area have a wide range of contacts, since his father knows that this project has been set up early on, it is not strange who knows who the person who is set up is inside, so it can save us a lot of things.
But I still hesitated and asked, "Is this okay with your dad?"
Li Luo said: "It won't be much of a problem. After he finished speaking, he got up from the sofa, picked up the phone on the coffee table and said to me, "I'll call right now and ask about the situation." ”
I said, "Thank you." ”
After Li Luo went to call his father, I have been sitting quietly on the sofa drinking the glass of water in my hand, this phone call went for about half an hour, Li Luo then pushed the door and walked out of the balcony, walked directly in front of me, I glanced at his expression, and immediately asked, "How is it?"
Li Luo said three words and found it.
After he finished speaking, he turned around and immediately found a computer, typed four Baolian Group on the search engine, and all the searches were in French, I couldn't understand it, Li Luo squinted his eyes and browsed carefully, I couldn't figure out the situation, and asked him a little anxiously, what is the situation.
Li Luo said: " Pauline Group is a large French enterprise, his headquarters is also located in France, at the beginning of the seafood enterprise started as a home, 3015 that year, because the local government of France began to rise urban reform, Pauline contracted all the urban construction projects of the French municipal government at that time, because the real estate business was very successful, and finally simply transformed to real estate-based business, in 3025, a huge financial crisis hit, the real estate industry bubble, at that time closed down a lot of large enterprises in this area, but only Pauline has been standing so far, they have been focused on the local, the business in France can be described as comprehensive, whether it is catering or daily chemicals and household appliancesBaolian was very successful, and the Pauline family occupied almost 60% of the market in France. However, since the beginning of this year, the local business has been unable to satisfy their appetite, and two months ago, it has officially announced its intention to expand overseas markets. ”
I frowned and asked, "Since it is a French company, how can the land of the mine be given to a foreigner?"
Li Luo said: "This is the problem, because the boss of Baolian is an overseas Chinese, and this overseas Chinese died half a year ago, and everything in Baolian is taken over by his son-in-law. ”
I said, "Or is it an overseas Chinese?"
Li Luo said with certainty: "Yes, just now my father told me on the phone, let's not fight the idea of this land, there is no chance at all, because the other party's background is not comparable to ordinary companies at all." ”
I said, "It's so big?"
Li Luo snorted, and said: "The other party decided to gradually move the business in France to the country this year, and my father told us so categorically, it is estimated that there is really no way." ”
I said, "No wonder Lu Fanping waited so cautiously that day, that is to say, the woman we saw today was the proprietress of Baolian Company, and his husband was probably the one who met Lu Fanping on the day of the banquet." ”
I thought about it for a moment and immediately asked, "Can you find their photos?"
Li Luo said: "Yes." I immediately searched with the engine, and there was only one photo of a woman that could be searched, a photo of a young woman, about twenty years old, and the profile column on it said that the daughter of the former director of Baolian Group, even if the woman in the photo was very young, but Li Luo and I recognized it at a glance, and the eyebrows of the woman today are very similar, there is only an age gap between them, that is, our inference is basically not wrong.
It's just that we can't find information about her husband, who is now the chairman of the Baolian Group.
Li Luo said: "It is rare to be able to search for news of her husband, I only know that he is also an overseas Chinese, his identity has always been very mysterious, and he is very low-key in handling things, but he has a lot of means and skills. ”
Hearing Li Luo's words, I fell into deep thought, that is to say, I have no chance of winning this project at all, because the identity of the opponent is not many levels higher than ours, and the strength of the fight is definitely not enough.
I felt like everything was a little slim for a moment.
We were both silent for a while at the same time, and Li Luo asked me what to do, in fact, I don't know what to do until now, but what Yu Zhenghe explained must be completed, which is a problem of the century for me.
I felt a little headache, so I stretched out my hand and rubbed my eyebrows and said, "I have a little headache, let's talk about these things tomorrow." ”
"The only chance we have now is to see if Pauline will automatically give up the mine," Li said. ”
I said, "Impossible." This is a piece of fat, who would spit out a piece of fat in their mouth, and this is the first step for Pauline to expand their overseas horizons, making it even more impossible for them to give up. ”
Li Luo said meaningfully: "But this is not necessarily, since they are all Chinese, then naturally in terms of doing things, they have to do things according to domestic methods, and there is nothing impossible in the humane society." ”
When I heard his meaningful words, I looked up at him.
Li Luo said: "Now you have a good opportunity, a chance that no one else can do, and it can even be said to be a good breakthrough." ”
I immediately understood what he meant, and I said, "The proprietress of the Baolian Group you are talking about?"
Li Luo said: "Yes, she actually took the initiative to greet you yesterday. It proves that she has a good impression of you, and she doesn't even reject it, and everything will be possible to talk about things between women and women. ”
Yes, I did have a few encounters with the proprietress of Baolian Group, and she did not reject me, but her lack of rejection does not mean that she will take the initiative to give up this mining land and give it to me for me to me.
Our relationship has not yet reached this point, but the relationship can be cultivated, it depends on how you guide it.
Come to think of it. Things don't seem to be as bad as I imagined, and there will still be a turnaround if I try to do it, so will God continue to help me?
Li Luo and I discussed this matter until the middle of the night, and after discussing a preliminary step, we were a little tired, so we went to bed to rest, and as soon as we opened our eyes, it was dawn.
The next day, Yu Zhenghe called early in the morning and asked me how the situation was going.
I told him truthfully that I hadn't seen Lu Pingfan yet, and he immediately said a little disappointed on the phone: "Xiaofan, how can you be so soft and weak in doing things? Isn't it a good opportunity at the banquet? You know that the bidding for this mine is going to start now, and at that point, there will be no chance. ”
I heard him say that, but there was silence.
Yu Zhenghe said after a while: "No matter what I do, what means I use, you must not miss me on the matter of the mine." ”
Yu Zhenghe gave me an iron order, and it seems that he has great ambitions for this land.
I was silent for a long time and said, "I'll try, Dad." ”
He probably knew that his tone to me just now was too harsh, and then softened and said: "Xiaofan, I don't mean anything else, this soon, Dad has a lot of hope for you to hand over the matter to you, don't let me down, if there is any difficulty, you can tell me, I can help you, I will try to help you and cooperate with you." ”
I said, "I know I'm going to do my best to get it." ”
When Yu Zhenghe heard what I said, he hummed and said, "Okay, Dad is waiting for your good news." ”
After that, we naturally hung up the phone, and after hearing the beep of disconnection, I glanced at the blackened phone screen and sneered, and then turned away from the floor-to-ceiling window.
There is a lot of rain here, and it has been raining several times in a row in just a few days, Li Luo made coffee and came out, and saw me come back after calling. He asked me, "Is that your father?"
I sat down at the table and spread a piece of bread on myself and hummed lightly.
He put a cup of coffee in front of me and whispered, "I think he's a little biased." ”
I smiled and said, "He's not partial, he just trusts me, so I'm going to get this land anyway." ”
When Li Luo heard my words, he didn't know the real relationship between me and Yu Zhenghe, so he didn't dare to destroy it, so he changed the topic and asked, "Then what should we do now?" ”
I took a sip of coffee from the side and said a short word: "Wait." ”
As soon as I finished speaking, there was a doorbell outside the door, and Li Luo and I met at the same time, and I smiled and said, "It seems that the opportunity has come." ”
I got up from the table and walked towards the door, I didn't open the door immediately, but after a while, I stretched out my hand and slowly pulled the door, and the face of the proprietress of the Baolian Group appeared outside the door.
She was still surrounded by bodyguards, and she didn't hold the child in her arms, but she was carrying a small plate of things, because the plate was wrapped in tin foil, and I couldn't see what was inside, but I looked at it, and it was probably inside the cookie cake.
When she saw me open the door, the first thing she said was to greet me with a smile on her face and say, "Hi!"
I replied to her with some surprise: "Hey, why are you here?"
She immediately handed me what she was holding, and she said, "This is the cookie I made myself this morning, and I want you to try it." ”
I was a little flattered, and immediately took it from her hand, and she said a little embarrassedly: "I thought you had left today, and I just came down with the idea of trying my luck, but I didn't expect you to leave yet." ”
She gave me cookies, and I naturally wanted to invite her into the house, but I didn't answer her for the time being, but smiled and said, "Come in and have a glass of water?"
She immediately refused, probably because of her good upbringing, after all, it was breakfast time, and she put it off several times. I could only say helplessly: "You gave me cookies, if you don't drink my water, I will be very embarrassed." ”
When she heard me say this, she had no choice but to follow me into the house, Li Luo had already left the room and went to the bedroom, so it seemed to be just the two of us, I invited her to sit down on the sofa, and then went to the kitchen to pour her a glass of warm water.
I glanced outside the door, and the two bodyguards were standing vigilantly, but it didn't bother me, because I didn't come to the door on my own initiative.
When I poured the water, I walked up to her and handed her the glass. She saw a lot of parenting books on my couch and smiled, "Hey, are you reading this book too?"
I was stunned for a second, and as she said, she had already taken the book in her hand, and turned several pages with excitement, I sat down next to her, smiled and said, "I'll just look at it, my child is ten years old, so this kind of book is not of much use to me." ”
When she heard me say this, she was still a little reserved, but she instantly opened the conversation, she said: "I'm also reading this book, this book is very good, it's all about the psychological problems of five or six-year-old children, and how to communicate with them, I have learned a lot." ”
I said, "Don't you know how to get along with children?"
I didn't know what was wrong with this sentence, a sentence poked her from speaking, I thought I was wrong, and immediately asked, "Did I say something that shouldn't have been said?"
She immediately waved her hand and smiled and said, "No, no, no." She was a little embarrassed and said, "I really don't know how to get along with my child, so I read these books to learn how to communicate." ”
Hearing her say this, I instantly laughed, and I said, "Actually, it's nothing, you don't need to rely on these books to get along with your child, you just need to communicate with him as a peer." Reason with him, he can understand. ”
Seeing that I said so easily, she was a little surprised and excited and asked, "Really?"
I smiled and said, "yes, that's right." ”
The two of us exchanged for a while about the child, but who knew that she had not been sitting for half an hour when there was a knock from a bodyguard outside the door, signaling that she should go.
She was a little disappointed and said, "I'm sorry, it's time for me to go." ”
I smiled and said, "It's okay, I won't be leaving for a while anyway, you can come to me whenever you want." ”
I thought about it, and immediately went to the side, found a pen and paper, wrote my phone number, handed it to her, and said, "If you don't mind, you can call me in the future, and there is no problem with me coming out to play." ”
She immediately took the piece of paper from my hand. With a happy face, he asked, "Really?"
I said, "Nature is true." ”
She suddenly remembered a question, and she asked, "We've been talking for so long, I don't know what your name is?"
I also realized it, so I stretched out my hand to her and said with a smile: "My surname is Yu, you can call me Xiaofan." ”
She subconsciously read my name twice, then held my hand with both hands and said, "My surname is Fu, and my name is Fu Ziya." ”
I said, "Then I'll call you Ziya?"
She smiled happily and said, "It's all right." ”
There was another knock at the door, and the bodyguard urged again, but she couldn't stay any longer, and after saying hello to me, she quickly went out and left here.
After she left, I closed the door with me, and Li Luo came out of the room and said to me, "It seems that this woman has no scheming. ”
I went back to the table and continued with my breakfast and said, "It's very simple. ”
Li Luo picked up the biscuits on the table and tasted them. He laughed, and I heard him laugh and asked, "What are you laughing at?"
He took a small bite of the biscuit to my lips and said, "The taste may not be what you like." ”
The strong chocolate flavor was really not what I liked, so I immediately shook my head and didn't taste a single bite.
Now I have laid the first step of the relationship with Fu Yazi, it depends on the back, whether I can tie this relationship with her, I haven't left this hotel for a few days, in order to wait for Fu Yazi to contact me, but after waiting for two or three days, the mobile phone has never moved, I asked Li Luo several times if I wrote the number wrong. Or the phone was broken, but it turned out that the phone was not broken, as for the number, I still remember it clearly, and when I wrote it, I subconsciously read it once.
Almost a week later, Yu Manting came back from abroad and asked me when I would go home, saying that my mother's eye disease had recurred, and asked me to go back quickly.
In the past few years, Xiao Ruoyun's eye disease has always been repeated, sometimes visible, sometimes invisible, went to the hospital many times, found a lot of doctors, the doctor said that the nerves around her eyes have gradually begun to atrophy, only getting worse, not getting better.
I thought that I really couldn't wait like this, waiting for Fu Ziya to come to me, what if she didn't call me for a year? After all, they have too many rich friends like them, how can they just meet me, and they really make an appointment to go shopping or play together like old acquaintances.
There are still a bunch of things on Yi's side, so in order not to waste my time, I plan to leave the city first, and then think of another way to see what to do.
So I stayed with Li Luo for more than a week, then we started packing our things and went straight to the airport that afternoon to take the earliest train home.
But who knew that just a few minutes before boarding the plane, I received a text message from Fu Ziya, the text message was that she asked me to accompany her to go shopping tomorrow and asked me if I had time.
I didn't expect this matter to turn around, I stared at the text message for two or three seconds, and finally replied with a word, asking her what time it would be tomorrow.
She was a little happy to receive my reply, because she immediately called me back just three minutes after the text message went out.
She immediately said happily on the phone: "Xiaofan, are you still in the city? Do you really have time to go with me? I'm very troublesome, I'm not familiar with anything here." ”
Seeing that she asked me several questions one after another, I could only smile and say to her, "Yes, I just want to go to the mall tomorrow to buy a few clothes." ”
She couldn't suppress the joy in her voice and said, "Okay, I'll come to your room tomorrow to find you, and we'll go together." ”
I smiled and said, "Okay." ”
After we hung up the phone, Li Luo was carrying my suitcase and leading me to board the plane, and I immediately grabbed him and said that I would not leave.
He looked at me puzzled, and I handed him the call record and said, "Fu Ziya called and asked me to go shopping tomorrow." ”
So I immediately called Yu Manting to explain to her, saying that I was still running errands outside and couldn't go back for the time being, so I asked her to accompany Xiao Ruoyun to the hospital to have a look.
Although Yu Manting was not very happy when she saw me say this, she also knew that I was busy now, and she couldn't say anything, so she could only tell me that my work was going well.
After the two of us hung up, Li Luo and I left the airport again and went back to the hotel again.
The next day, Fu Ziya really came to me early in the morning, she saw a man coming out of my room, and when even though she looked at me in some surprise, I put on my clothes and explained to her with a smile and said, "My friend." ”
As soon as she heard this, she immediately understood, and then smiled at Li Luo, took my hand and walked downstairs, I didn't expect her to be so anxious. She dragged her so much that she didn't even have time to take the bag, she said, it's okay, I won something, she can pay me.
I knew that people like them didn't care about small money at all, so I didn't shirk her, and followed her downstairs, and after the elevator went directly downstairs to the door of the hotel, she pulled me into a black car, and there were still two bodyguards standing outside the car, and after we entered, the two bodyguards also followed me into the car.
After the car started, it was followed by two bridge cars. Leave one by one in front of the hotel.
The two bodyguards sitting next to us were like door gods, with expressionless faces.
Fu Ziya saw that my expression was a little stiff, and knew that I was a little uncomfortable, so she took my hand and said, "You don't have to worry about them, just treat them as if they don't exist." ”
I said, "You go out like you're always with someone?"
She disappreciated and said, "yes, it's good to get used to it." ”
I said, "Weird." ”
She said: "I didn't like it at first, but there have been a lot of kidnappings recently, and my husband is afraid that he will not be at ease, so he will let me take bodyguards with him wherever he goes." ”
I listened and smiled and said, "Yes, there are quite a lot of kidnappings in China." ”
She didn't seem to want to talk to me about it, and excitedly took something out of her bag, a necklace, and handed it to me and said, "For you." ”
I'm a little flattered. She didn't ask me if I liked it or not, but when she took the necklace out of the box, put it around my neck and said, "This chain was given to me by my husband, but I always felt that it was not suitable for me, but I felt that it was more suitable for you." ”
The pendant of the necklace is the shape of a drop that I like, the design is very simple, but it is delicate everywhere, which is indeed my preference.
It would have been rusty to shirk now, so I let her carry it around my neck.
After that, the car drove directly to the mall, and after stopping at the gate of the mall, the two of us walked in together and started shopping, she should have just returned to China, and she was very curious and excited about everything in the country.
Touching here and there from time to time, and when I saw a small train with a unique shape in the mall, I was as happy as a child, chattering and talking to me all the way.
Obviously, this is a person who is well protected by his family and does not know the dangers of the world.
I could only try to cooperate with her, and when we got tired of shopping, we found a café and sat down, each ordered a cup of coffee and started chatting.
She began to ask me if I was from the city.
I said no.
She asked me curiously, "Then are you here to do something?"
Hearing her ask, I didn't answer immediately, but was silent for a while. Feeling a little depressed, he said, "I came here to ask for help, but I haven't even seen the other party." ”
As soon as she heard that I was going to help, she immediately asked, "Can you and my husband help you?" ”
(Tianjin)
