Yunxi sat with Grantham, Situ Bai, and Gilding, talking casually and freely, and Yunxi didn't ask much about why Grantham said goodbye suddenly. Sometimes, a moderate distance is another way to maintain friendships. Relaxation can last for a long time. Obviously, Situ Bai and Gilt just felt that Grantham's identity was dictatory, and it must be inconvenient to stay in China for a long time, so they didn't pay attention to it at all.

The four of them sat together and recounted in detail what had happened in the past three months, and Yunxi only listened most of the time and did not express any opinions.

Outside the door, Zhang Cui gently closed the door carefully and slowly retreated into the hall. Walking to the escalator, she suddenly paused, looked at the old man's room, with some thought in her eyes, finally shook her head, and finally returned to the room.

Leng Guoyi was taking off his coat and preparing to change into pajamas, and when he saw her coming back, he said softly: "Put the bath water away, go take a good bath, and rest early at night." You are not in good health, you should pay more attention to yourself. ”

Zhang Cui was a little distracted, let out a soft "um", took over her pajamas, but looked at the change of slippers and went directly to the bathroom.

Leng Guoyi shook his head helplessly and pulled her back to the bed: "What's wrong?" Restless. ”

"Don't you think the old man's attitude towards that Qiao Zimo is a bit strange?" It stands to reason that since Yunxi is a few years older, she should also be a junior, although she herself was originally from a merchant family, she has really seen many dignitaries and nobles for many years, and this person is not an ordinary person at first glance. The problem is that there were so many celebrities from all walks of life in the courtyard just now, if Qiao Zimo's identity is really unusual, someone should know him. But no one came forward to identify this person. The weirdest thing is the old man, with his qualifications, why is he so polite to this amazing-looking Qiao Zimo?

Zhang Cui felt strange when she thought about it, and couldn't help but ask her husband: "Do you recognize him?" ”

Qiao Zimo?

I have the impression of this name, and I have indeed heard of it. But......

He looked at his wife's somewhat restless look for a long time, and said quietly: "I know you think his appearance is a bit strange, but this person has never been the enemy of our Leng family." ”

Zhang Cui's fingers stiffened, and the expression on his face was shocked. It's not that I'm surprised that Qiao Zimo's identity is mysterious, but that her husband's answer is so vague.

Married for decades, this was the first time she had seen him mention someone so secretively.

"Yunxi went to Europe for three months and has been with Qiao Zimo all the time, aren't you worried?" She always felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't say what it was. Her daughter's eyes are becoming more and more incomprehensible to her now, and she doesn't know if it's because of Zhan Wenlan's betrayal or for some other reason. I always felt that this time, everyone in the family was released, and Yunxi's expression seemed to be not very turbulent. It seems that he is just walking like a car according to the established plan, and he is like flowing water.

Her daughter was only twenty years old, and she was like an ancient well.

Leng Guoyi slapped her hand, he has been married for many years, he has always loved and respected his wife very much, "Everything must be on the good side." At least, the stronger our daughter is, the more she will not be too lonely if she leaves us in the future. When he was in junior high school, he saw his daughter knocking her classmates to the ground but she was bored, and he thought countless times, in case, if she left the umbrella of the Leng family, what would she do with her life? But the moment the isolation room was opened, the moment he saw her slowly coming from the light, he suddenly let go of a worried heart.

Perhaps, the Zhan family's approach is too powerful and ruthless, but if such a blow can survive, he believes that his daughter will definitely rise to prominence in this life!

Zhang Cui sighed and smiled bitterly: "In the final analysis, we don't know people clearly. ”

Zhan Wenlan had crossed the road in their family, and no one noticed his ambition, which is why he felt so angry at the beginning!

Being stabbed in the back by someone closest to you and being stabbed in the back by an enemy is not at all the same level of damage.

I only hope that Yunxi will not close his feelings because of this, and he is no longer willing to look directly at love.

Zhang Cui rubbed her eyes and walked to the bathroom with red eyes.

Behind him, Leng Guoyi opened the door and looked towards the old man's room around the corner.

The light was soft, and there were two people playing chess with their heads down.

It's still Go, the way of black and white, and it's clear.

Qiao Zimo held the white son this time, and the cold old man held the black child. The two of them played very slowly, which was about the slowest game they had played after knowing each other for so long.

With each next move, the two would stop and think for a long time, as if a conversation had been completed in this chess game.

Before the halfway point of the chess game, a long time had passed, and the patience of both seemed to be very good, and neither of them made any sound. The whole room was silent.

When the needle pointed to ten o'clock, Old Man Leng suddenly threw the chess pieces, leaned back slowly, and stopped the chess game first.

"I'm glad that you have been taking care of Yunxi during this time." Before he was asked to "assist in the investigation", he had planned for the worst, and Qiao Lao would not give up so easily. After thinking about it, there are really few people who can not be trapped by Qiao Lao's identity and don't care about helping him. In the end, he can only entrust the safety of his family to this Qiao Zimo. It's just that things seem to be going a lot further than he thought.

Qiao Zimo sat opposite, looking at him with dark eyes, as if he was smiling slightly, and as if he had no expression at all, just like that, he was already so noble that he was angry and resentful.

He didn't say a word, as if Old Man Leng was just talking to himself into the air.

The old man shook his head, he had never thought that he would be able to extract any information from this person's mouth. However, tonight, when he saw the glance that Qiao Zimo looked at Zhan Wenlan after entering the house, he knew that some things might have exceeded his control.

Yunxi, how did you provoke this person?

There were a few fragmentary goodbyes outside the door, and it seemed that a few little friends from the granddaughter's side were about to leave.

Old Man Leng smiled: "This game of chess will end here." ”

Qiao Zimo glanced at him deeply, his fingertips curled slightly, clicked on the chessboard, and finally said the only sentence in the past two hours: "If you can, next time, I want to play a game with your granddaughter, and then please be the referee." ”

What's next?

Does it mean Go, or something else?

Looking at Qiao Zimo, who blended into the night, standing at the entrance of the courtyard, the old man Leng slowly lifted the corners of his lips and smiled lightly.

This night, everyone in the Leng family has different thoughts, but the Zhan family is almost the same, because of Leng Yunxi's video call, they were completely set up, suspended in the air, and were in a situation of ice and fire.

"Young master, there is news from the UK that those companies have formed an alliance and are unified as the prosecution party to submit evidence to the court." When the old housekeeper saw Zhan Wen rushing back with a pale face, he rushed over as soon as possible. I just wanted to hold him, but it was scary as far as I could reach, and I was stunned on the spot, and I was so distressed that I didn't know what to do.

Commander Zhan stood from afar, watching his proud son's face almost transparent, his gaze as calm as a pool, and bottomless darkness. At the cheeks, it seemed that they had stiffened, and there was not even the slightest expression.

"Something's going on, you speak slowly." Zhan Wenlan exhaled deeply, and the image of the man and Yunxi standing in front of the window was still in his mind.

He has seen countless people's eyes, greedy, proud, arrogant, and extravagant, but there is no pair of eyes like that Qiao Zimo, like clouds, like the moon, not the slightest penetration, every qiē is directly blocked out, and even the slightest possibility of peeping has been directly erased.

He forced himself to close his eyes, and his right hand subconsciously covered his slightly fluttering eyelashes.

The old housekeeper was ruthless, and directly told the ins and outs of the British side briefly.

A total of 10 companies were originally going to sue them, basically because they were "fake British companies", so the companies he worked with felt that they had been defrauded, and in a British fashion where most entrepreneurs were heavily attached to the traditional style of the empire, X's "deceptive cooperation" was tantamount to destroying their brand image and thus causing a negative impact.

Just three hours ago, the "Economic Alliance" program was launched by five of the five pharmaceutical business giants in the X partners. These five major pharmaceutical joint-stock companies are the top 20 pharmaceutical companies in the UK, but from the perspective of joint efforts, the "alliance" can objectively form an intuitive impact on the largest pharmaceutical business group in the UK.

Behind the 'Alliance' is the highest level of market dialogue in the field of pharmaceutical business in the UK, not to mention that the five pharmaceutical commercial companies in the former "Alliance" are all well-deserved leading enterprises in the pharmaceutical market.

The five alliance units have annual sales of more than £25 billion. The development trend is aggressive, and the market share is huge.

In the past, it was believed that X was British, so he was integrated, but now the exclusion and backlash are even more amazing.

And behind this "alliance", there are hidden backgrounds of five other companies. It's just that, at present, except for the courts, no one seems to be able to find out where these five companies came from.

And in this lawsuit, the amount of compensation demanded is completely sky-high - 5 billion pounds!

In fact, no one understands the advantages of economies of scale better than pharmaceutical commercial enterprises. When the pharmaceutical business enters the era of low profits, 0. 7. The average sales profit margin means that the size determines the size of the fanny pack. In a certain way, doing large-scale has become the first priority of pharmaceutical commercial companies. As an industry with extremely prominent exclusivity, the local business leaders can hardly tolerate outsiders "harvesting rice in their own fields", so this "alliance" lawsuit is almost completely in a situation where they are forced to be beaten.

The old housekeeper looked at Zhan Wenlan anxiously: "The old lady has already found someone to dredge the court and is investigating the backgrounds of the other five companies, but the lawyer representing the alliance has officially submitted a lawsuit." Master, we're running out of time! ”
