Chapter III: Commencement of sanctions
"Daddy!"
Zhan Ruijue quickly threw himself into Zhan Xingchuan's arms, hugged him, and immediately let go of his hand, and did not forget to immediately put a collar on the puppy, with a leash attached to it, so as not to lose it.
Seeing that his son was so careful, Zhan Xingchuan was also much more relieved, and asked him to raise a puppy, not only to satisfy a long-standing wish of Zhan Ruijue, but also to let him learn to get along with other beings on an equal footing and cultivate love.
"Is Dad still back to the company?"
After doing all this, Zhan Ruijue asked breathlessly.
"What do you say?"
Zhan Xingchuan took out a handkerchief from his pocket, wiped the sweat from his head, and asked with a smile.
"Of course not!"
Zhan Ruijue shook his little head like a rattle and shouted loudly, while glancing at Ran Xixi, who was sitting on the side, with the rest of his eyes, wanting to see what kind of expression she was having at the moment.
However, he was a little disappointed, because compared to his excitement, Ran Xixi's reaction was much colder. Moreover, Zhan Ruijue suspected that she seemed to be distracted, and she didn't hear what she and Zhan Xingchuan were talking about at all.
"Mom?"
Zhan Ruijue shook off Zhan Xingchuan's hand, walked quickly in front of Ran Xixi, shouted in a low voice, and stretched out a small hand and shook it twice in front of her eyes.
"Huh?"
She was stunned for a moment, looked at her son, and showed an apologetic expression: "What did you say?"
Seeing that Ran Xixi was absent-minded, Zhan Ruijue was a little unhappy, he leaned over and held the puppy in his arms, bypassed her and Zhan Xingchuan, and walked towards the elevator with his calves.
He walked out for several meters before he remembered that he didn't have a room card and couldn't get in when he went back.
"Let's go back, Rui Rui is in a hurry. β
Seeing that Ran Xixi was still sitting still, Zhan Xingchuan said softly, and pulled the scarf that had slipped off her neck upward. She didn't seem to expect him to do that, her body shuddered slightly, and instinctively dodged back.
Her reaction made him a little embarrassed: "Let's go." β
Ran Xixi stood up at this time, she walked in a hurry, almost trotting to catch up with Zhan Ruijue, as if she didn't want to go side by side with Zhan Xingchuan at all, and specially distanced herself from him.
After going upstairs, Zhan Ruijue led the puppy to the door, and he also found a towel and wiped all four of its feet. A man and a dog were so tired that they hummed for a long time, and then they lay down on the carpet in the living room together, hugging each other and rolling around.
"Aren't you going back?"
After entering the door, Ran Xixi took off his coat and asked softly while hanging it up.
Her voice was very restrained, it sounded a little tense, Ran Xixi was not a person who was good at hiding her emotions, so it was a very difficult thing for her to force her face.
Zhan Xingchuan also noticed it, and he directly raised an arm, propped his palm on the wall, blocking her way, trapping Ran Xixi between the wall and his chest.
She had to look up at him, a flash of horror in her eyes, "What are you doing?"
Compared to his tall stature, she was as slender as an underage girl, and her strength was insufficient, and she could easily be controlled in that small space, unable to move.
"Let's talk about it. You're behaving a little bit out of the ordinary right now. β
Zhan Xingchuan said calmly, but her body didn't have the slightest intention of evacuating, so she could only stand in place, forced to look up at herself.
"I haven't woken up yet. Nothing to talk about. β
Ran Xixi's neck hurt a little, she took off her high heels after entering the door, so she was a little shorter than him, this height difference made her feel very inferior, and even if she wanted to look at the other party, she would feel very difficult.
She has always had the gas to get up, no matter morning or night, as long as she doesn't sleep enough, she will be grumpy, depressed, and even doubt life. Zhan Xingchuan has always known this.
He stared at her face for a moment, trying to determine if it was for this reason. After watching it for a long time, Zhan Xingchuan couldn't tell the truth from the false, so he could only choose to believe what Ran Xixi said.
"Okay, you go back to sleep, I'll accompany Rui Rui......"
Before he could finish speaking, Ran Xixi immediately interrupted him: "Aren't you very busy? Then you can go first, you don't have to stay here." β
Zhan Xingchuan raised his eyebrows, and asked with a smile: "You seem to be looking forward to me leaving?
Her face turned pale, and she immediately sneered at each other: "You don't have a wicked person here, who is in Cao Ying's heart in Han? Since your mind is no longer here, why bother to wronged yourself and continue to play the image of a good father? Live so hypocritically, I'm really afraid that you will be completely schizophrenic one day!"
After speaking, Ran Xixi pushed away his arm with her hand, and while he was distracted, she bent down and got out, walked a few steps away, and successfully widened the distance between them.
Zhan Xingchuan stood in place, he reacted, and immediately understood that she should have seen who she had just met with, so she behaved so abnormally.
"I'd love to know, are you jealous that she was able to grow up next to her biological parents, or do you think you are inferior to her, so as long as she is there, you are uncomfortable?"
He put one hand in his trouser pocket, called out to Ran Xixi in time, and asked her loudly.
She had been walking very fast, and when she heard the voice, her whole body slammed into a position visible to the naked eye. Obviously, Zhan Xingchuan's words still played a big role, at least causing a crack in Ran Xixi's thick disguise.
"You don't think you are right there, I still have a good face for you, but because you are Rui Rui's father, no one can change this. If you don't know what to do, I don't mind letting Rui Rui change his surname!"
As soon as these words came out, Zhan Xingchuan's face changed suddenly.
He can't allow this kind of thing to happen, absolutely not! Zhan Ruijue can only be surnamed Zhan in this life, and he will always be his son, if Ran Xixi really does that, he doesn't mind snatching back the custody of the child, and let her never see the child again!
Narrowing his eyes dangerously, Zhan Xingchuan was full of energy, and he looked like a leopard hunting prey.
Ran Xixi originally said angry words, even if she hated him again, she would not be angry with the child. However, I have to admit that seeing Zhan Xingchuan's emotions out of control with her own eyes, she also has a very satisfied feeling, maybe only at this time, he doesn't look so invulnerable.
"I don't mind you giving it a try. If you dare to do that, I will dare you to die without seeing him!"
He roared in a low voice, and there was a thick hideousness in his features.
couldn't help but take two steps back, Ran Xixi's slippers accidentally stepped on one of the dog's tails, it let out a faint whimper, and immediately jumped up and ran to the side.
"Mom! You've stepped on a meow!"
Zhan Ruijue complained a little unpleasantly, then picked up the puppy and led it to the floor-to-ceiling window so that it could bask in the sun.
"I'm sorry, Mom didn't see it, I didn't mean to. β
Ran Xixi finally found his voice and whispered with a guilty face.
There was a sound behind her, and she hurriedly turned around, only to see half of Zhan Xingchuan's backβhe was already gone.
The room immediately returned to quiet, as if his departure had taken away everything that could make a sound, it was terrifyingly quiet, and that feeling made Ran Xixi feel very uncomfortable, and his heart was empty.
However, what she couldn't figure out was why Zhan Xingchuan wanted to meet that woman, and besides, he deliberately hid it from himself and deliberately lied, saying that he was going to meet a client.
Is she his client?
Ran Xixi won't believe it.
However, since they chose to meet, it is definitely impossible not to say a word from beginning to end. As for what exactly was discussed between them, she didn't know, and she had no way of knowing.
Ran Xixi vaguely felt that things seemed to be going to be bad......
Her hunch was very accurate, and for the next few days, Zhan Xingchuan did not show up, and did not come here again.
Listening to Kong Miaomiao, Yu Youwei's approach completely angered Zhan Xingchuan, although he would not really send the company's public relations department to clarify in public that Zhan's project and Liu Wu's project were unrelated, but it did not mean that he would silently suffer this dumb loss. He knows better than anyone that a large part of the reason why Xinhong Real Estate has been able to develop rapidly in just over three years is that many insiders will look at his face and give Yu Youwei some convenience as much as possible.
And now, he is unwilling to sell this favor again.
After a few phone calls, although Zhan Xingchuan didn't do anything specific, he was very sure that Yu Youwei's life would not be as comfortable as before.
Anyone who does real estate knows that no one will get all the money ready to start construction again, everyone is the money you owe me, the money I owe him, and the money he owes to the bank. In other words, everyone is at a certain link in this chain, which is interlocking.
Xinhong Real Estate is no exception, due to the strong support of Zhan's as credit capital, Yu Youwei almost effortlessly, borrowed a lot of huge sums from several major banks, which made the company's turnover extremely flexible, the accounts were beautiful, and it was able to get good projects at many bidding meetings.
The people in the bank are all human spirits, and when they received a call from Zhan Xingchuan himself, they naturally understood that something must have happened between Zhan and Xinhong. Relatively speaking, Zhan Xingchuan is the one who cannot be offended.
Therefore, soon, Yu Youwei received an urgent call from the company's financial director, saying that the bank was urging the money more urgently than before, and even sent written materials to strictly limit the repayment date.
"Didn't you rush a few times before? Don't be nervous, it's a big deal, I'll go to their president for a meal again. It must be that we haven't 'made a supply' recently, so we came to scare and scare us, which company doesn't owe money?"
Yu Youwei, who was outside, listened to the words of the financial director, but she didn't think so, she said nonchalantly.
