Ji Xiaoyingding's Xihuayuan Resort is in the southwest of Puhai City, and it is completely in two directions from Liang Wenbo's original location, but the distance is roughly the same.

There was light music in the car, everyone chatted and ate snacks, and it was very traveling.

Mo Fan couldn't help but think of the scene of the class group outing when he was in school. At that time, a class of more than 40 people took a bus, talking and singing all the way to the destination, although nearly half of the time was spent on the road, but this was also part of the trip. Sometimes the process of playing is not necessarily more enjoyable than the journey back and forth.

I remember that during an autumn outing, a girl changed seats with a classmate by the window next to him because of some motion sickness, and later sat next to him on the return trip. Although the two barely talked along the way, it was the most memorable outing of his middle school days.

Today, the girl's appearance and name are very blurred, and he is no longer the young boy he was at the beginning. The person who remembers is not that person, but the former self and that time.

Coming out to play with Lu Xiaorong, the feeling is naturally completely different. Although there is more Ji Xiaoying, a guy who has nothing to do, it will not affect his mood. In fact, in many cases, as long as the mind is calm, the mood will naturally be broadened, and it will not be affected by some small things.

Liang Wenbo may feel the same way. Although his original plan was tampered with, he didn't see the slightest frustration, chatting while driving, telling a cold joke from time to time, trying to mobilize Tang Xiaoxiao's emotions.

Tang Xiaoxiao just smiled back, after all, she has only been in contact with everyone for a short time, and it is inevitable that there will be some unfamiliarity. And she mostly positions herself as a "nanny" in her heart, so she seems more restrained.

Lu Xiaorong has a good impression of Tang Xiaoxiao, and changes the topic without a trace, bringing Tang Xiaoxiao into the chat. Her usual job is to deal with people, and she is very affinity, coupled with Liang Wenbo's cooperation, Tang Xiaoxiao's words gradually increased, although she is not very active, at least she is not so angry with everyone.

Among all of them, Ji Xiaoying, who was "piggybacked", seemed to be the most interested, and listed many entertainment plans to be implemented, as if she hadn't come out to play for a hundred years.

Mo Fan was a little puzzled by this. Ji Xiaoying temporarily changed the location of her trip, and the reason she used was quite lame. If it's just the two of them, then needless to say, she must be harboring misfortune and trying to be a whole person, just like she went to the police station last time. But it seems that she really wants to go out with everyone, which makes some sense, because she can't see what she will gain at all. Could it be that her eldest aunt is here? Hearing her say that she has to soak in the hot springs at night, it seems that this possibility can be ruled out, and it can't be a habitual trick-or-treat, right?

Ji Xiaoying's work sometimes seems inexplicable, but there is often another purpose behind it, and many things in the past have proved this. Mo Fan felt that this time was probably no exception, but he couldn't guess it for a while. This woman's way of thinking is too strange to be reasonable.

Since he couldn't figure it out, he didn't bother with it anymore. It's better to take it easy. Even if Ji Xiaoying arranges any pranks, as long as it is harmless, it will be regarded as entertainment.

The road conditions were ideal at this time on Saturday, there was basically no traffic jam, and it took about an hour and a half for everyone to reach their destination.

This resort, which was evaluated as "very ordinary" by Liang Wenbo, is actually a good environment, and various leisure and entertainment facilities are relatively complete. Behind the main building, there is a small area of lake, more than a dozen two-story or three-story small buildings are built along the lake, and the room that Ji Xiaoying booked is such a so-called two-story lake-view villa.

After checking in, Mo Fan and Liang Wenbo unloaded their bicycles, put their belongings on them, and pushed them to the lake.

The villas here are naturally different from the ones in the house, and the structure is much simpler. The lower floor is a living room and one room, and the upper floor is two bedrooms. At the back of the hall there is a large terrace that stretches out above the lake.

The three ladies went upstairs to sort out their belongings, while Mo Fan and Liang Wenbo went to the terrace. The terrace has a long wooden table, two benches, and several deck chairs.

At this time, the sun is setting, the afterglow is sprinkled on the surface of the lake, reflecting pieces of golden scales, and in the distance is a lush forest, the scenery is very good.

"This place is okay!" Mo Fan said as he stretched out at the lake.

Suddenly, there was a burst of cheers not far away, looking for prestige, and saw a few people fishing on the terrace in a lake-view villa dozens of meters away. A man pulled up a fishing rod and pulled up a silver carp that weighed almost three catties, and two children clapped their hands next to him.

Liang Wenbo shrugged his shoulders and said, "It's just a bit of a trouble." ”

Mo Fan smiled: "The requirements are quite high, as if the place you used to play was not noisy." Besides, don't look at who you are now. ”

He knows that people like Liang Dashao generally play in membership clubs, and the high-end atmosphere is on the one hand, but more importantly, it restricts the entry of idle people, etc., which is not easy to cause accidental conflicts, and the safety is more guaranteed.

Liang Wenbo laughed, nodded and said, "That makes sense." ”

"Hey!"

A greeting sounded overhead, Mo Fan turned to look up, and saw Lu Xiaorong waving to him by the window on the second floor, so he asked, "How is the room above?"

"It's good. Lu Xiaorong said with a smile and pointed downward, "Let's have dinner on the terrace, shall we?"

"Okay. "Mo Fan and Liang Wenbo have no opinion.

Lu Xiaorong turned around and asked, "Xiaoying, Xiao Xiao, what do you think?"

Ji Xiaoying also poked her head out of the window, looked down and said, "I think it's good." ”

Lu Xiaorong said, "What do you want to eat?"

Liang Wenbo said: "Ladies, let's decide, we don't pick." ”

The three women came down from the upper floor, took a turn on the terrace, and then went to the restaurant on the other side of the main building to order.

Mo Fan sat down on the recliner and went to see the group fishing, two men, two women and two children, like a family of two. One of the men was vaguely familiar, but it was far away, and the sky was getting darker, so it was not clear to see.

Liang Wenbo also sat down and said, "What, you also want to fish? Then ask someone to send a fishing rod over, it is better to retreat and close a net!"

Mo Fan shook his head and said, "What's the point of fishing in this kind of place." ”

Looking at the posture of the man in front of him lifting the fish, he knew that the fish here were all raised in the fish pond and sent over.

Liang Wenbo said, "Then what are you staring at?"

Mo Fan said, "Do you bring binoculars?"

Liang Wenbo smiled: "Why do you want to peep? It's not dark yet, what scenery can you have?"

Mo Fan glanced at Liang Wenbo and said, "Why are you so dark? ”

"Perverted!" Liang Wenbo entered the house, and after a while, he came out with a camera with a telephoto lens, and said, "There are no telescopes, try this." ”

Mo Fan took the camera and turned it on, in order not to be noticed, he sat down at the table, put the camera on the table, and pointed the camera at the group of fishing.

"And said that it was not voyeurism, sneaky. Liang Wenbo sat down opposite him, but he didn't block the camera, and he was really cooperative.

Mo Fan adjusted the focal length, and the situation in that place was reflected on the LCD screen. Although the screen is small, the imaging is very good. After seeing the man's face clearly, he couldn't help but mutter: "It's really this guy." ”

Liang Wenbo asked, "Who?"

Mo Fan pressed the shutter, turned the camera around, and said, "Hu Farun, it's the general manager of Mingyuan Company I told you." ”

"Really? Liang Wenbo glanced at it and said, "It doesn't look like a treacherous and cunning person, this is the object of your suspicion?"

Mo Fan sneered: "Don't talk nonsense, when will you look at your face?"

Lu Xiaorong was assisted in the investigation, as well as the process of participating in the bid opening meeting, Mo Fan talked to Liang Wenbo, and also talked about some of his own speculations, so Liang Wenbo knew very much.

At first, Mo Fan thought that it should be the biggest competitor who wanted to stumble Lu Xiaorong. Lin Ruoxi also agreed with his judgment at the time. Although the two did not say it explicitly, the target they identified was actually Qi'an Company.

However, combined with what happened at the bid opening meeting later, Mo Fan found that the situation was a bit complicated.

Although Hu Farun left in the middle of the bid opening meeting, he seemed to have nothing to do with others, but his behavior was strange. After learning about Hu Farun's resume from Ji Xiaoying, Mo Fan became more and more convinced that there was something wrong with this guy.

For the project of Xiheyuan, if the bidder's bid base of 10.8 million is taken as the standard, with reference to the floating ratio, Mingyuan Company's offer of 9 million is actually not outrageous. It's just that because the quotations are much lower than the rest, and the scale of Mingyuan Company is not very large, it will be subject to strict review by the tenderer. The tenderer asked Hu Farun to submit detailed explanatory materials, which belonged to the predetermined procedure and did not mean to make things difficult.

No one stipulates that you can't make loss-making transactions when you open a company, and you have to make profits and losses when you do business. And sometimes the income can not be seen from the book alone, perhaps for brand benefits, or for the timely return of capital turnover, this business has lost some, but has obtained enough hidden income, so that the company can earn back in the follow-up operation, such a business can certainly not be regarded as a loss.

Hu Farun has been in business for many years, and he is not a fledgling rookie, so the price quoted should naturally have his reason, and there should be a reason to take possession. However, the explanatory materials attached to his bid were not approved by the tendering party, which is one of the suspicious, at least indicating that he was not fully prepared. Then the tenderer asked him to provide further explanatory materials, and he actually left the scene angrily, as if he had been insulted, which is suspicious.

If you feel that you have little certainty, or you simply don't want to bid, Hu Farun can simply abstain from participating in the bid opening meeting. But he came to participate in it, and staged such a farce again, which is really unreasonable, and it can only be said that he did it on purpose.
