When Lin Li left the supermarket and returned to the hospital, Ji Yunchong had already fallen asleep.

She sat on the sofa tiredly, leaned back, pressed a hard thing on her hips, picked it up and looked at it, it was a lost mobile phone.

Lin Li was speechless by the bad problems he had lost. clicked on the screen to see, there was no message or phone, so he took the mobile phone into his bag, came to Ji Yunchong's bed, and tucked the quilt corner for him.

Tomorrow he will be able to remove the stitches and switch to a long-legged tubular plaster cast for 4 weeks, during which he can walk on crutches. But he had been in bed for two weeks, his quadriceps muscles had atrophied, and he was able to move his right limb off the bed.

Why don't you encourage him to do more leg lifts to regain his muscle strength and then let him slowly adapt to the new way of walking?

Lin Pi took out a pen and paper to list Ji Yunchong's rehabilitation training plan, revised and corrected, and found a big problem - there is not much left in the holidays, she is about to return to China to work, preparing for the examination for the qualification of medical aid in Vietnam, and there is no way to stay in Munich for a long time. Ji Yunchong stayed in the hospital alone, can he agree to let her leave at this juncture?

Lin Li thought about it and came up with an idea.

She was busy all day, and she didn't have the energy to do anything else after making a rehabilitation plan, so she pulled the blanket over her body, turned off the lights, and shrunk on the sofa and quickly fell asleep.

The night is quiet, with the occasional chirping of cicadas at the turn of spring and summer.

Ji Yunchong on the hospital bed opened his eyes.

He turned his face, his eyes were dark and dark, and he quietly stared at Lin Li in his sleep.

In the night, she lay on her side facing him, breathing lightly, full of moonlight.

Such a picture is somewhat familiar. At that time, after the engagement ceremony with him, she was drunk and fell into his arms, her face was red, her eyes were misty, and she laughed when she saw people. When she was carried back to the room by him, she refused to take off her clothes, but she did not agree with him to leave, and slept on his arm all night.

She really loved him, and in her dreams she muttered his name "Chong Chong, Chong Chong ......", unlike now calling him by name and surname.

The bitter taste occupied the entire heart, Ji Yunchong's lips twitched twice, and he said in a dumb voice: "Mumu, be good, don't leave me." ”

She didn't respond and fell asleep.

*

Ji Yunchong's recovery after the stitches were removed exceeded Lin Li's expectations.

He did the muscle recovery exercises according to the plan, and after three days he was able to lift his right leg and get out of bed and walk on crutches. It's just that when he walks, his stride is small, his body leans forward at 10°, and his limbs are uncoordinated.

Lin Li comforted: "You have just undergone surgery, and your shortened right limb has not yet adapted to the knee joint in a tonic state. ”

Ji Yunchong believed it and practiced walking in the corridor with difficulty on crutches.

Sunlight poured in through the window, shining on his face. His facial features were already clear and good-looking, and he was dyed by the warm light with a hazy soft light, and there was a bit of innocence between his eyebrows and eyes.

Lin Li's throat was blocked by the sour and astringent taste, and he couldn't say a word, standing in place and watching him stagger.

One step for an ordinary person is equivalent to three steps for him.

As if feeling her distracted gaze, Ji Yunchong glanced sideways, raised his lips and smiled, his smile was extraordinarily bright: "Mumu, do I look handsome?" ”

She came back to her senses: "Handsome." ”

"Inspirational or not?"

"Inspirational."

"Do you want to be liked?"

"Like ......," she replied cooperatively, and was suddenly silenced.

Ji Yunchong's smiling gaze fell directly on her face, and her lips rose softly: "Fortunately, I didn't give up, and finally waited until you said that you liked me." ”

His tone was so satisfied, Lin Li cleared his throat uncomfortably: "How can you talk like this." ”

She hung her head as she spoke, missing a fleeting gloom in his eyes, and said to herself, "It's a nice day, do you want to go out for a walk?" ”

It was the first time she had invited him. Ji Yunchong didn't think twice: "Yes." ”

"I'm going to find a wheelchair."

At the turn of spring and summer, when the sun was warm but not shining, she pushed him to stroll through the streets of Munich.

The flower vendors on the street corners are particularly welcoming, and the colorful flowers bring the city away from the gloomy gray hues of the rainy days of the past. When Ji Yunchong saw it, the smile on his face became brighter and brighter, and he asked Lin Li if he had five euros in change.

Here, five euros can buy a large bouquet of delicate phalaenopsis. Ji Yunchong held the budding flowers and picked a few.

Think about it on your toes and know what he wants to do...... Seeing that he was in a good mood, Lin Fei didn't want to spoil people's interest and lowered his head.

Flowery fingers ran through her hair for a moment, and then she heard him say, "All right." ”

Lin Li is a girl after all, she touched the flowers on her hair curiously, took out the mirror from her bag, looked left and right, and looked at it.

Seeing this, Ji Yunchong smiled happily.

She put away the mirror and pushed him a few steps: "I'll discuss something with you." ”

"Huh?"

"Shall I get you a nurse? In a few days, I'll be back home. ”

When Ji Yunchong heard this, his hand on the arm support clenched unconsciously: "Why did you suddenly return to China?" ”

"I ran out of vacation and had to go back to work and take the qualification test for Vietnam." Lin Fei looked at Ji Yunchong, and looked at the pair of narrow ink-like eyes, and her cold eyes made her stunned for a moment, "Don't be angry, I will fly back next weekend." ”

His hand slowly let go.

"I have to go back to China later, and I'll fly back next week," she added. In other words, I'm going to be going to be in both places for the rest of the day. But rest assured, no matter how busy I am at work, I will never forget my commitment to put your rehabilitation treatment first. ”

Ji Yunchong's eyes moved slightly, and it took a while for a while to let out a low "um" sound from the depths of his throat.

The stone in Lin Li's heart fell to the ground, pushing him to continue walking, babbling and explaining some taboo matters.

He suddenly interrupted: "Mumu, can you promise me one thing?" ”

"What?"

"In the second month after surgery, I will check my blood routine and erythrocyte sedimentation rate to confirm whether I have re-infection, which means that I need to stay in the hospital for more than 40 days of observation. In the meantime, you don't meet with that man, okay? ”

Lin Li looked at Ji Yunchong in surprise.

He turned around and reached out to squeeze her hand tightly. The temperature of his palm was cold, and his expression was a little uneasy: "You said that you would like me as much as possible, so please wait for me, wait for me to recover, and return to China, and pursue you fairly with that man." ”

"It's-"

"That's not too much to ask, or are you just trying to fool me that day? Think I helped Guan Yi and casually said something nice to make people happy? ”

Faced with questioning, Lin Li was silent.

After a moment she nodded, "I promise you." ”

"Really?"

"When did I lie to you?"

Ji Yunchong looked at her, and when he spoke again, his tone showed a faint relief: "No, you have never deceived me." ”

So apart from you, I can't find a second person in this world that I can trust.

*

Even if it was inconvenient to travel, Ji Yunchong still insisted on sending Lin Li to the airport.

He sat in the car, his eyes unblinking, as she walked towards the VIP entrance. Even though he couldn't see her at all, he didn't withdraw his gaze.

The assistant next to him broke the silence: "Boss, why don't you find a reason to keep Miss Lin?" After she returns to China, in case she meets Xiao Huai......"

The assistant did not continue.

After a long time, Ji Yunchong's dark eyes glanced at the sunset on the horizon, slowly closed his eyes, and his voice was clear and low.

"Let's go back to the hospital."

During the suspension of trading in Zhongxi Pharmaceutical, Dongsheng Group issued a "Tender Offer" to all shareholders of Zhongxi Pharmaceutical, willing to acquire the equity of Zhongxi Pharmaceutical at a price much higher than the current market value of the shares, so as to ensure that the equity valuation of the "selling shareholders" was at an upward premium of 20%.

In other words, as long as the minority shareholders of Zhongxi Pharmaceutical agree to sell their equity, they can achieve a minimum capital gain of 20%.

The executives of Zhongxi Pharmaceutical and the German Investment Bank refused to express their views on the "tender offer", however, the media did a survey among the majority of shareholders who did not think it was a big deal, and the results showed that most shareholders did not think that the refusal of Zhongxi Pharmaceutical to be acquired by Dongsheng was responsible for small and medium-sized shareholders, and 70% of investors expressed the hope that Dongsheng would win.

Zhongxi Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. soon issued a statement, saying that Dongshengtong guò borrowed money layer by layer, forced to buy equity with circular leverage, and operated aggressively and unscrupulously. The company could not tolerate such a hostile takeover and did not welcome Dongsheng as the largest shareholder.

Dongsheng did not respond to this statement, but a spokesman for the China Securities Regulatory Commission publicly stated that the acquisition and acquisition of market entities is a market-oriented behavior, and as long as it meets the requirements of relevant laws and regulations, the regulatory authorities will not interfere.

Some analysts believe that the attitude of the China Securities Regulatory Commission indirectly proves that Dongsheng's listing funds do not have zài problems, nor do they involve internal trading of stocks. Now that the battle for equity has entered a white heat, if the management of Zhongxi Pharmaceutical and Dongsheng does not compromise with each other, which side can have the last laugh, the attitude of small and medium-sized shareholders will play a key role.

However, some analysts believe that leaving aside the attitude of small and medium-sized shareholders, the anti-merger strategy formulated by Deutsche Investment Bank has not really started.

At No. 34 on the Bund, the lights are bright in the high-level conference room.

Xiao Huai convened all the staff of the investment bank's M&A department to listen to his subordinates' views on the "package" defense plan of the Chinese and Western pharmaceutical industry.

Some people have proposed that they have launched the "poison pill plan", while others have signed a concerted action clause with a friendly company to counter Dongsheng's continuous capital increase and acquisition.

For a time, there were many people talking and talking, but there was no conclusion.

Michiko did not participate in the discussion, and only asked Xiao Huai after the meeting if he had any tendentious opinions.

Xiao Huai said: "You and I have checked the internal financial audit reports of Zhongxi Pharmaceutical in recent years, and we know that the pricing of new shares after the backdoor listing of Zhongxi Pharmaceutical is inflated, and the operating entity itself is not good, and it is inevitable that the equity will be transferred by small and medium-sized shareholders." ”

"In that case, why do you agree to the dog poison pill tactic of intimidating Dongsheng in a way that harms others and is not beneficial to yourself?"

"It's not intimidation, it's probing."

"Bottom-out?"

Xiao Huai's fingers rubbed the coffee cup on the conference room table, and it took a few seconds before he spoke: "When I was still studying, I often played football with Director Ji of Dongsheng Group. Guess what my role is in the game? ”

Michiko couldn't guess.

Xiao Huai curled his lips slightly: "Goalkeeper." ”

The goalkeeper, the team's last line of defense, is mainly tasked with keeping the opponent's ball in. At the same time, the moment when the goalkeeper confiscates the opponent's incoming ball, it is the www.biquge.info of the attack of the side, which often determines the rhythm of the subsequent counterattack.

A good goalkeeper beats half the team. This is a well-established truth on the football field.

So when the teenager Ji Yunchong was running around all over the field, Xiao Huai stayed in the rear calmly, which didn't seem to have any role in promoting the game, but in fact, he could have a full view of the movement and running positions of the whole team - only Xiao Huai knew when to defend cautiously, when to attack boldly, and how to win the game by skill.

Michiko has worked with Xiao Huai for many years, and asked tacitly: "Your subtext is that you have seen Dongsheng's weakness?" ”

Xiao Huai nodded: "According to the laws of the mainland, after Dongsheng issues the "Tender Offer", within the agreed time limit, it is not allowed to sell the shares of Zhongxi Pharmaceutical that it has held. Dongsheng's capital leverage is more than 1:10, if the shares of Zhongxi Pharmaceutical continue to fall within the agreed time limit......"

"This will trigger Dongsheng's close-out line." Michiko took over, "The biggest risk for Tosheng and his concerted actors is the serial use of leverage to force the purchase of shares with borrowed money. Once the Chinese and Western Pharmaceutical Industry smashes the market and falls to the limit, it will inevitably cause the other party to close positions one after another, forcing Dongsheng to give up the acquisition of the equity of Zhongxi Pharmaceutical at a price much higher than the market value of the stock. ”

In other words, the battle for equity is actually a battle for value.

Michiko thought for a while, and showed concern: "The Chinese and Western pharmaceutical industry continues to smash the market and stop falling, which is not good for itself. ”

"That's why we need a defense package. A moderate smashing limit can force Dongsheng to slow down the pace of acquisitions. But what we really need to do is to seize the time to find a bona fide acquirer and hand over the equity of Chinese and Western pharmaceuticals to the other party. ”

"As far as I know, there is no third party in China who is willing to hold shares in Zhongxi Pharmaceutical."

"There is no one at home, and we can look abroad."

Michiko was stunned.

Xiao Huai looked at his watch, 10:35 p.m.

He took a sip of coffee to moisten his throat: "Let's stop here today, and we will discuss it tomorrow." The driver is waiting in the basement, and I will take you back on a detour? ”

Michiko glanced at the coffee on the conference table: "You drank a big latte, can you sleep when you arrive at the hotel?" ”

And so it was. Xiao Huai didn't sleep in the hotel where he stayed, but because he was busy all night, he was hungry and had to drive out to find a restaurant.

After a long circle, the shops were almost closed. The car drove aimlessly westward, tossing and turning, stopping and stopping, and finally came to the eastern section of Zhenning Road, where the "1936" private restaurant was located.

Xiao Huai hesitated for a moment, untied the safety belt and got out of the car.

Walking up the stairs, I saw a recruitment notice posted on the glass window - "Urgently recruit a chef, salary is negotiable".

Pushing the door in, the restaurant was deserted and unpopular. When the store manager saw a customer coming in, he didn't welcome him warmly, and buried his head in his mobile phone.

Xiao Huai found a table and sat down. The waiter walked over slowly to write the menu, and it took a long time before bringing a bowl of fragrant and fresh ravioli.

Xiao Huai took a bite and stopped the waiter: "The wontons in your store don't taste right." ”

"We've changed chefs."

"The boss doesn't care?"

"We've changed bosses too."

The waiter meant that the boss had changed from Guan Yi to Lin Li, and Lin Li was abroad and had no idea that the new chef was slacking off.

Xiao Huai understood this sentence to mean that Lin Li was no longer the owner of this restaurant.

He was silent for a moment and said lightly, "Check out." ”

While waiting for the waiter to get change, he glanced at the table cards. The sign is printed with the restaurant's WeChat official account and the words "Welcome customers to leave valuable comments".

He was such a strict person that he took out his phone and wrote down his feedback. However, when submitting the customer's name and contact information, he left the Chinese surname and mobile phone number of his assistant Leo.

The unpleasant dining experience was quickly forgotten by him.

*

On the evening of the next day, Xiao Huai continued to hold departmental meetings. Halfway through the meeting, Leo's cell phone rang.

Leo sat on Xiao Huai's right side, and when the phone was connected, not only Leo could hear it clearly, but Xiao Huai could also hear it clearly.

A soft and light female voice came out of the earpiece, with an echo, as if coming from a wide place: "Hello, is it Mr. Huo?" I'm the owner of the restaurant '1936' and I'm sorry to see your feedback on your meal. ”

Leo looked inexplicable and wanted to deny it, but the phone was suddenly taken away by Xiao Huai.

Leo looked at his boss in surprise.

Xiao Huai wanted to explain and stopped, looked up at the dozens of silent subordinates in the conference room, brought the mobile phone to his ear, and said calmly: "Yes, it's me." ”

There is a saying that "if you don't see each other, you will not see each other". He and she have not spoken a word for more than two months, which is equivalent to 70 years of no communication.

Seventy years was also the time when her grandmother was sincere and waited for his grandfather to return.

Can she tell it's him?

Lin Li on the other end of the phone was deeply shocked.

As soon as the other person spoke, she could hear who the speaker was. But she couldn't understand why Xiao Huai had become "Mr. Huo", and what was even more strange was that Xiao Huai must have known that the caller was her, why did she still claim to be "Mr. Huo"?

She swallowed once to relieve the dryness deep in her throat, and barely maintained a calm tone: "Mr. Huo, do you know a person named Xiao Huai?" ”

"Acquaintance."

He answered so smoothly that she was completely confused, what was going on?

It was as if Xiao Huai heard the slander in her heart, and called her calmly: "Lin Li." ”

"Huh?"

"In the hearts of the restaurant staff, you are a confused boss who doesn't care about anything."

"Ahh

"So, come back quickly."

When he said this, his tone was not gentle, and even a little harsh, but his mellow and moist voice inexplicably revealed a special texture, like anger, and like complaining, so that Leo, who was listening to him on the phone, felt that his thoughts were about to overflow the receiver.

When Lin Li heard the comment of "confused boss", he was immediately unhappy, and bit his lip and replied in a whisper: "I've come back, I just got off the plane and sat in the restaurant to check the accounts." ”

Silent.

A puzzling silence.

Then, Xiao Huai's fingers moved slightly and hung up the phone.

He glanced at the subordinates present, his face was clear, and his tone was extremely calm: "What time is it?" ”

Leo suddenly realized something: "22 o'clock...... It's late. ”

Xiao Huai slowly buttoned the button on his suit and stood up: "Everyone has worked hard in a row, go home early today to rest." ”
