Text XXXII. I am a sinner
A few days later, Ethereal Law Firm was successfully listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange with the stock code: Ethereal Legal.
On the same day, Chai Guofeng came to Longcheng and settled in Cuifu.
There was no greeting beforehand, and it was already afternoon when Ren Kai knew. He was very happy and a little puzzled by the arrival of his friend.
As soon as it was dark, he withdrew from other entertainment and went straight to the reserved room. Xiao Chai was the only one standing there with his back to the door, looking at the lights outside the window. There are three pairs of cutlery on the table.
In the past, the scene of the three brothers drinking and frolicking is still vivid, and now Grandma Liu has gone to heaven. Who else could sit here? Thinking about this, I can't help but feel a sour heart.
Xiao Chai turned around when he heard the voice, strode over, and the two brothers hugged each other.
In just a few weeks of separation, Xiao Chai has obviously lost a lot of weight, and his hair has not been cut, which makes him look extremely depressed.
Xiao Chai gave him up to the main seat, the two sat next to each other, Ren Kai nodded to the vacant seat next to him, and said, "Who else?"
Xiao Chai smiled and didn't answer, but patted his friend on the shoulder and asked, "Is it really a foot with a hook?"
Ren Kai looked at him, didn't smile, and said quietly, "How did you know Yu Yanlai?"
Xiao Chai was stunned for a moment, smiled, picked up the teapot and poured water for his friend, and asked, "Why not Kong Yanyan or someone else?"
Ren Kai looked at his friend and smiled, and said, "I didn't expect that you were the one behind the merger of Tian Lai and the Yu family." What a surprise. ”
Xiao Chai's face darkened, shook his head, and said in a low voice, "It's Grandma Liu." ”
Ren Kai was silent after hearing this, and silently picked up the teacup, and there was a piece of tea floating in the cup and looked at him quietly, like an eye that laughed at him.
Hearing a knock on the door, Xiao Chai shouted. Yu Yanlai walked in from the outside with light steps.
Ren Kai raised his head, looked at the fat woman in front of him with a smile, patted the vacant seat next to him, and said, "Come, sit here." ”
Yu Yanlai grinned and walked around and sat down next to Xiao Chai, patted his chubby face, and said with a smile, "It's better to be closer to Mr. Chai." ”
Ren Kai looked at the two people next to him, frowned, and said, "How long have you two been colluding together?"
Xiao Chai turned a deaf ear and only knew how to drink water. Dragon City is much drier than H Sea, and he is really a little uncomfortable.
Yu Yan came to look at Xiao Chai before he began to speak.
In fact, Yu's Law Firm was already in a bad financial situation a few years ago.
As a leader in the legal profession of Longcheng, lawyer Yu has been immersed in the judicial community of Longcheng for decades, and has indeed laid a deep foundation for Yu Yanlai. Thanks to this, at the beginning of her takeover of Yu, she did lead Yu's to an unprecedented new height.
Thirty years in the east of the river, thirty years in the west of the river. That's the old calendar. Now Hedong to Hexi can't even be used for three years. As new law firms continue to emerge, old relationships continue to die. The Yu family has been unable to make ends meet in the past few years, and the old book is about to be eaten out.
Ren Kai's work focus is mainly on Jingrui, there are few people from the law firm, and to be honest, Zhao Wei has always been in charge of the family's income, and he rarely asks. Now he only knows that the conditions at home are good, and he really doesn't know how good it is.
Two years ago, Yu Yanlai saw that the law firm was about to be dragged down, and they were ready to break up. coincided with the case of Sanlao Cai being exposed across the country. While this case brought a glimmer of life to the Yu family, it also brought huge hidden worries. Peers are enemies, and several big offices in Longcheng are afraid that the Yu family will take advantage of this to grow, so they will unite to squeeze the Yu family's business space. Moreover, after all, Yu Yanlai was born in a legal family, and was influenced by his father since he was a child, and he has his own bottom line of principles, and he does not accept work when he gives money. For example, if it weren't for Wen Ruyu's forced drag, she would never have accepted a lawsuit like Sun Tianbao.
At this time of dilemma, Grandma Liu appeared.
At that time, his old leader was already rumored to be promoted, and his face began to become rich. Through the recommendation of others, I met Yu Yanlai. According to the current calculation, he may have known that he had a physical problem at that time, and he was afraid that he would not be able to delay it for a few years.
So he began to lay out the rest of his life, first acquired most of the shares of the Yu family in Yu Yanlai's hands and transferred them to Ren Kai in the form of a non-public gift, leaving her only the head shares. Then, through the influence of the old leader, the cooperation between Tian Lai and Yu was promoted. It's a partnership, not an acquisition. In this way, even if he leaves one day, Ren Kai will be able to help him take care of his family while thinking about his old feelings. The most important thing is that this money has nothing to do with him Liu Xiaojun, clean and innocent.
These things have been hidden from Xiao Chai and Ren Kai until the National Day trip. He had a hunch that he wouldn't be able to come back. Explain the matter to Er Guodong. Er Guodong couldn't persuade him, and in desperation, he had to agree. Unexpectedly, it was really like what he had a hunch. It's just that he never expected that the pit buried in him was dug by the best two brothers. Er Guodong resented Xiao Chai and Ren Kai in his heart, and only told Xiao Chai what Grandma Liu had entrusted him, but he was unwilling to communicate with them again.
Yu Yanlai participated in the whole process, but she signed a confidentiality agreement with Liu Xiaojun early in the morning, and also included the agreement in the main acquisition contract. The decryption deadline is the day of Ethere's listing on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange.
Listening to Xiao Chai's eloquent words, Ren Kai's heart ached, and he remembered Grandma Liu's QQ signature: I laugh every day, do you guess I'm happy or not? My nose was sour, and I couldn't hold back my tears anymore.
Yu Yanlai had long been unable to cry. Women are like this, they always like to pour out their feelings with other people's sadness.
The three of them were uncomfortable here, and someone pushed the door in. Kong Yanyan.
As soon as Kong Meiren came in, she saw Ren Kai in tears, and she was startled, knowing that it was not the right time. Pretending not to see it, Chong Xiaochai and Yu Yanlai nodded and went out again. After a while, the food and drinks began to be served.
Today's cuisine is very special, half of it is local cuisine, and half of it is Dragon City specialty. There is only one wine, the national liquor Moutai.
During the banquet, everyone tried their best to avoid talking about Grandma Liu. The atmosphere gradually became harmonious. After that, Yu Yanlai also told the conditions of Tianlai.
Ethereal Legal will pay 30 million yuan to acquire all of Yu's shares, and Yu's existing partners will share the money according to their shares. After getting the money, Yu's brand will continue to be retained, and Yu Yanlai will receive 0.5% of the restricted shares of Ethereal Legal as an equity incentive for her to continue to preside over Yu's Law Firm.
Ren Kai is special in that he will receive 7% of the non-voting shares of Ethereal Legal at the same time as he sells Yu's shares. According to today's trading price of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, he is worth more than 100 million.
In addition to the relevant contracts that need to be confirmed by Ren Kai, the rest of the partners also signed the contracts earlier today. And it was agreed that in a few days, there would be an external publicity meeting and a tea party.
The official signing ceremony will be held a week later, and it is only the need for the provincial and municipal leaders to appear, and it has nothing to do with them.
Wine until half-full. Kong Meiren came in with a bottle of red wine, saying that she was congratulating Ren Kai on becoming a rich man.
Ren Kai is a layman and doesn't understand this. But Xiao Chai's eyes were very poisonous, staring at the wine bottle for a long time, and when he poured the wine, he said vigorously, drink less, this wine is not drunk like this, why is this cup so big.
Kong Meiren raised her glass to Ren Kai and said with a smile, "Welcome, partner." ”
Ren Kai smiled and nodded, but did not speak.
The wine is in the cup, the beauty is on the side, so let's get drunk.
"Look at the snowflakes in the sky, how about it?" This was the last sentence Ren Kai said before he got drunk. The two women were completely confused, only Xiao Chai burst into tears after hearing this, and couldn't help herself.
There is never a quiet time, it's just that someone carries a weight forward.
When I woke up the next day, Xiao Chai was already waiting next to him. The two packed up and drove to Longshan Cemetery.
The cemetery spreads all the way down from the halfway of Longshan, and the tributaries of the Yellow River pass around the cemetery under the mountain. Take the meaning of backing the mountain to get wealth, and water is wealth.
Winter is about to begin, and the morning is cold. There is no one in the huge cemetery. Between the pines and cypresses, the two of them were dressed in black suits, holding flowers, and walked up the stairs.
On the tombstone, Liu Xiaojun looked at them with a smile, as if he had been waiting for a long time. The two lowered their heads and put the flowers away and stood in front of the monument. For a time, the world was silent, and Xiao was full of gardens.
"I am a sinner. Xiao Chai suddenly spoke.
Ren Kai bowed his head and was silent.
"I shouldn't have listened to you and organized an outing. You shouldn't believe Tong Jingsheng's so-called Spring and Autumn righteousness, and set up a bureau to lead you to show up. You shouldn't be allowed to jump out and take on everything. The last thing that shouldn't be the snowy ...... in the third year of junior high school. ”
"Shut up. Ren Kai was furious, looked around, and said, "Are you crazy?"
Xiao Chai smiled miserably and said, "I really want to go crazy." ”
After staying quietly for a long time, Ren Kai looked at Grandma Liu with a smile on her face on the tombstone, and asked in a low voice, "When are you leaving for Canada?"
Xiao Chai rubbed his cheeks vigorously with both hands, let out a long breath, and said, "An Ran and the child have passed, and they were still having dinner with Zhao Wei and them last night." I'll fly straight from Dragon City to Toronto tomorrow, and I'll go back safely when I'm settled. What about you?"
Ren Kai's eyes flickered, and he shook his head, without squeaking.
The phone vibrate, and when I picked it up, I saw that it was Tian Xiaofang, a little surprised. After hesitating, he answered the phone anyway.
"Hello, Xiaofang. Oh, welcome, welcome. Where to stay? See you at noon. ”
Ren Kai still looked at the tombstone and said, "Widow Tian has come to Dragon City and lives in Cui Mansion. Make an appointment to eat together at noon. ”
Xiao Chai nodded expressionlessly, and said pointedly, "What you want to forget, in fact, you can't forget." ”
It was almost noon when the two returned to Cuifu, and after washing, they went directly to Tian Xiaofang's room.
Knocking on the door, it was Hao Pingyuan who came out of it!
Ren Kai chuckled in his heart, but asked quietly on his face, "Why is Captain Hao ......?" he said and pointed to the room.
Hao Pingyuan was not surprised, let the two into the house, and said as he walked, "Tian Xiaofang is my wife's sister, and I just knew that you are classmates." ”
Ren Kai let Xiao Chai go and whispered to Hao Pingyuan, "What the hell are you doing, your wife is older than you, where is such a young sister?"
Hao Pingyuan's face turned red, and he whispered, "It's a little wife." You're going to have to help cover it up. ”
Ren Kai laughed and laughed, Lao Tzu is now worth 100 million. There are all such birdmen around, and they are pitting Lao Tzu with different methods.
During the banquet, watching Hao Pingyuan calling Tian Xiaofang one by one, Ren Kai couldn't raise his head a little, he really wanted to pluck out his exposed nose hair, and then ask him well, do you know the word shame?
The most annoying thing is that this grandson, as long as he says a few words, he will point at Ren Kai and say, "This Ren Kai knows best." ”
How can Lao Tzu be clear about your grandson's affairs? But at this time, he still laughed and said, "Yes, yes." Later, Xiao Chai was a little unbearable. Widow Tian didn't talk much, and watched the two of them play double reeds with a smile. Her little sister, Hao Pingyuan's outer chamber Tian Ruolan, covered her mouth and played next to her.
After this meal, Ren Kai was tired and hungry, which was extremely ridiculous.
