I was stunned for a moment, and replied respectfully, "We've seen it before." At the company's annual meeting in Beijing the year before last, I also gave you a toast. ”

Mr. Zhao looked at me and shook his head slightly: "Not that time. After a pause, he looked at me deeply and said, "You look like a person." ”

My heart thumped, and I subconsciously thought of Zhao Yijing's ex-wife. If you just look at the photos, I look very similar to her eyebrows and eyes. My heart suddenly seemed to turn over like a mess, my head lowered, and I whispered, "Hmm." I know. ”

"Now that you know, why do you choose to be respectful?" Mr. Zhao asked, but his voice was a little cold without the kindness of Fang Cai, "Are you really generous enough not to mind?" or do you have other ideas?"

I was stunned, my hands and feet began to be cold, Mr. Zhao's eyes were very awe-inspiring and forced to look at me, yes, if a woman doesn't mind that she looks like her lover's ex-wife, she can accept this resemblance without regrets, except for deep love, she can only have other plans, or for money or profit. And in the eyes of businessmen, "deep love" is the most untrustworthy word. Then it's just a matter of profit.

I bit my lip, and my voice was as steady and firm as I could: "I don't have anything else in mind. Yi Jing also told me that the previous ones were all gone, and he recognized me only because of my fate with him. As for whether it is similar or not, it is just a coincidence and does not matter. "I tried my best to find tactful and precise words to express my thoughts. I can't use the seemingly ridiculous reason of my past life and present life with an old man with great wisdom to explain the reason why I can believe that Zhao Yijing is not using me as a stand-in.

"Miss Song, you are very good at talking. Mr. Zhao smiled faintly, the teacup in his hand was slowly swirling back and forth, and after a while, his voice was a little heavy: "I don't know how much Yijing told you about his past, it is indeed many years in the past." However, now that I am talking about marriage again, I naturally start to worry about it again. ”

"As you may know, I have no children or daughters in my life, and I treat Yi as my own. Otherwise, I will not give up my equity and my position to Yijing without reservation. One is because he is my dearest, and second, his ability and vision can lead the company better. The burden on his shoulders is very heavy, and the future of the company and the hope of the Zhao family all depend on him. Mr. Zhao's voice is steady and cordial, but there is a kind of bearing that people can't look at directly, maybe this is the leadership style? Mr. Zhao's words invisibly put a lot of pressure on me, and seemed to be secretly asking me, how can I stand shoulder to shoulder with Yijing, and what can I help Yijing?

My mind was very confused, and I could only try my best to make my voice sound confident: "I know that I can do very little, but Yijing and I are both very attentive to each other, and we -----" I couldn't say anything. There is no moment, I can hope that my conditions can be better, and I can confidently say to the elders of the Zhao family, I am worthy of respect, I can help him, just like Du Heng could help Zhao Shinan back then.

It's a pity that it's always so wrong, whether in the past life or in this life, what the Zhao family needs and what I can give always don't match. In the era when he needed an heir, Du Heng helped his career, but in the era when he needed a career, I couldn't do anything.

"Miss Song, I didn't mean that. Mr. Zhao's attitude became gentle, and he added some hot water to my cup, "Come, the weather is cold, drink more hot water." ”

"Since Yijing has chosen you, I, as an elder, naturally respect his choice. Mr. Zhao gave me a reassurance, my heart just steadied a little, and Mr. Zhao said again: "But you also have to understand that Yijing, as the new leader of the Zhao family, still faces difficulties." There are many Zhao families, their hearts are uneven, each has its own plans, I used to go back and forth with the mud, after all, I have grown a handful of years, and everyone sells me face. Now that he has taken office as a new official, it is inevitable that some people will find his mistakes and omissions. ”

What Mr. Zhao said was also true, I remembered what Xiao Bin said about the matching situation of six or four points in the board of directors, and nodded unconsciously: "Well, I understand." ”

"When the chairman of the board of directors was elected at the general meeting of shareholders, some people made it difficult to get into Yijing's marriage, and they did not want people other than the Zhao family to occupy the shares. Of course, Miss Yao's will is her father's will, which is an exception that cannot be changed. But Ejing insisted, he wants to marry you. Behind Mr. Zhao's steady voice is a treacherous battle, I can imagine what kind of dispute is there at the shareholders' meeting for me and Nuan Nuan.

My heart is very entangled, someone is difficult, I am afraid it will not be solved smoothly, I can't help asking: "Then how to negotiate in the end?"

Several older shareholders persuaded to reconcile, after all, Yijing's equity is the largest, and the chairman and the marriage naturally cannot be linked together. If you are really worried about the loss of the Zhao family's equity, you can amend the company's articles of association, and any transfer of equity in the future needs to be voted by shareholders. Zhao Xinru sighed softly and shook his head, "This is just that they are using the marriage as a cover to restrict Yijing's power." The transfer of equity requires a vote of shareholders, so that the operation of the company will be severely hindered in the future. In the past few days, the board of directors has been discussing every day how much needs to be voted on for the transfer, and no one has budged. ”

My fingers tugged back and forth, I only saw Zhao Yijing's high spirits since he became the chairman, but I never knew that his tightly knit brows, his heavy gaze, and so many troubles caused by me.

"Miss Song, I believe in the relationship between you and Yijing, but for the sake of Yijing, for the company's ----" Mr. Zhao paused for a moment and looked at me deeply, "I think you are a smart person." ”

Am I a smart person? At that moment, I suddenly felt that I was very smart, and I even wished I could be stupid. It's a pity that I still understood Zhao Xinru's meaning in time. At this moment, I completely understood why he could always be in the position of chairman, looking like a good gentleman, in fact, the inner city government is no worse than Zhao Yijing, and his ability to control people's hearts is even higher than Zhao Yijing. After a few words, I already felt that what I needed to do was imperative. If I don't, I have ulterior motives.

My hands trembled slightly, and it took a long time for my hands to warm up outside the water glass, and I looked at Zhao Xinru and smiled faintly: "I can promise that my children and I will not intervene in the Zhao family's company in the future, nor will we get shares of the company." If necessary, you can go for a notarization. ”

"Qingyang, you're really smart. Mr. Zhao changed his name and smiled slightly at me, "You don't have to feel burdened, everything we do is to better manage the company with respect." ”

This is the leader, who always gives three sweet dates after a stick, making you feel that your efforts and humiliation are all for the sake of the overall situation.

Zhao Xinru put a piece of paper in front of me: "Take a look, there is no problem, just sign it." ”

It turned out that they were all prepared, I roughly glanced at it, and the content was not complicated, that is, I promised that after I married Zhao Yijing, I and my children Gu Xinuan (except for the children born to Zhao Yijing) gave up the inheritance and accepted the company's equity transferred by Zhao Yijing, and would not interfere in the company's business decisions. It's short, but it pierces my eyes. This promise pierced my pitiful self-esteem. I really want to escape from here with my child, but Zhao Xinru has turned this humiliation into responsibility and understanding in a few words, and I can't get rid of it. I looked at him and asked, "Do you want to wait for Yijing to come back and discuss?"

If he was willing to do it, he would have done it the day he elected the chairman. But he doesn't want to, he'd rather reduce his control over the company than you sign this. Zhao Xinru's smile was a little desolate, "He is stupid sometimes." ”

My heart suddenly rolled uncomfortably, is the price Zhao Yijing paid for me too great? What is my self-esteem? Without hesitation, I took up the pen and signed the pledge. Since it's for feelings, let's just not bring a little utilitarianism.

Zhao Xinru looked at me, with a hint of surprise and a hint of understanding. He put away the letter of commitment, with a wry smile of relief on his face: "Qingyang, it is inevitable that the big family will have these things that hurt feelings, I hope you understand." You surprised me that Ejn didn't look at the wrong person. ”

Nuan Nuan beside her listened to us ignorantly, suddenly knocked over the teacup in her hand, and wanted to cry as soon as she pouted, Mr. Zhao coaxed her gently: "It's okay, come to grandpa." Nuan Nuan looked at her stunned, I picked Nuan Nuan up and put it next to Zhao Xinru, Zhao Xinru touched Nuan Nuan's little face, and asked, "How old is the child?" Zhao Xinru's face also had a loving smile.

When Zhao Yijing pushed the door in, he saw such a harmonious situation of ancestors and grandchildren, and he handed the medicine in his hand to Zhao Xinru: he pinched my hand and smiled lightly: "I fell under the seat and looked for a long time." I've kept you waiting. ”

I clenched his hand tightly, not wanting to let go. It was only by holding him tightly that I seemed to be able to grasp something. Everything I have endured seems to have the strength to rely on.

On the way back, Zhao Yijing drove the car very attentively, frowning slightly, and suddenly asked me, "Uncle didn't say anything to you, did he?"

"Huh?" I was stunned for a moment and came back to my senses, and tried my best to smile calmly: "It's just that the parents asked for a short time, it's nothing." ”

"Really?" Zhao Yijing hooked the corners of his lips, and his voice was faint: "It's good that I didn't say it." Fortunately, it only took ten minutes to get the medicine. My heart was "uproaring" on a wave of heat, he was already trying his best to protect me, but Zhao Xinru's persuasion skills didn't take ten minutes.

"By the way, I'll invite Xiao Bin to dinner the day after tomorrow, are you convenient at noon or at night?" I asked Zhao Yijing, if I wanted to invite Xiao Bin, he should come.

"The day after tomorrow?" he frowned and thought for a moment as he said, "You go, I won't go." ”
