After just wandering for a moment, the street lamp outside the window turned on, and strictly speaking, Chen Yi and I were not eating afternoon tea now. I poured myself a beer, and then looked at Chen Yi, those words that I wanted to say were held back in an instant, because it would seem a little hypocritical to say it, but I had to do it at that time......

Chen Yi looked at me and said to me after a moment, "If you don't want to say it, don't say it...... Actually, I know that I shouldn't be talking to you about this, and it's really a dilemma for you. ”

I finally replied, "I failed you...... In this life, if you don't live a good life, I will definitely feel guilty in my heart. ”

Chen Yi gave me a relaxed smile, and then asked, "What do you mean by not being good?" ”

"I wish you all the best in your life in the future, including relationships."

"Should I say thank you?"

I didn't understand for a while, so I was stunned for a moment before replying: "Let's talk about it, it will show that I am sincere." ”

Chen Yi held up her cup of coffee to me and said "thank you", and then we fell silent together...... And in this silence, I tried hard to find the answer in my heart, what drove me not to go to Chen Yi's wedding in the first place, but I couldn't find it, because I had chosen to forget many things.

……

After sitting like this for a while, I received a call from Xiao Ai, it was rare that she had no entertainment today, saying that she was going to have dinner with me. I didn't hide it and told her that I was with Chen Yi, and we had been discussing the details of Gu Lin and Wu Lei's wedding this afternoon. She said that she wanted us to wait for her at the "Wutong Hotel", and she wanted to have dinner with us.

I ended the call with Xiao Ai, and then said to Chen Yi: "Xiao Ai said that we would come to eat together later, and you didn't eat much just now, or I will order a few more plates of lobster, let's eat and drink some more." ”

Chen Yi shook his head and replied, "No, I still have a dinner, the ...... in Taiwan."

When she said this, I didn't want to keep her, so I told her to pay attention to some safety on the road. At this time, it should be the worst moment for Nanjing's traffic. Chen Yi answered, picked up his handbag, but asked me when he was about to leave: "Jiang Qiao, when are you going to marry Xiao Ai?" ”

"Maybe just after Jin Qiu got married, it should be soon."

"Well, let's finish it early. Give others a little hope and a way to go......" After a slight pause, she added with a smile: "The other person I said is not me, don't be mistaken...... In this world, even if the coffin is in front of him, the people who are unwilling to let go are really grabbing a lot of them. But the rivers and lakes have already changed, and love is more like a fast food in this changed rivers and lakes, which can be consumed without restriction or thrown away very casually. Perhaps, only by reversing the concept can we be happy, right? ”

After Chen Yi left me this question, she left, and I kept thinking about it after she left, and finally I just felt that what she said didn't seem to have anything to do with me, because I was very satisfied now, so I didn't need to change anything at all. But many people other than me have been living in dreams, through the wind and rain all night!

……

About half an hour later, Xiao Ai came to the "Wutong Hotel", and after she found me, she looked around and asked, "What about Chen Yi, didn't you say that you would eat together?" ”

"She said that the TV station had a dinner, so she left first."

Xiao Ai let out an "oh", and then sat down in the place where Chen Yi had just sit, I was in a trance in an instant, as if I had experienced a historical change, and I couldn't tell whether it was Xiao Ai or Chen Yi in front of me. Or maybe they all occupied the closest position to the window...... It's like I love Xiao Ai now, and I haven't forgotten the feelings I once had when I loved Chen Yi. And this is the root of my trance, maybe it's me ruthless, maybe it's the rivers and lakes, it really changes......

Xiao Ai skillfully ate the lobster and asked me, "What did you just talk to Chen Yi about?" ”

"She asked when we were going to get married. ”

"What do you say?"

"I said it might be after the golden autumn."

"What did she say?"

I looked up at Xiao Ai and asked, "Why do you care so much about Chen Yi's opinion on our marriage?" ”

"I didn't care, I had the same thoughts as hers, just ask...... You said that when two people eat together, there must be a topic to talk about, right? Just like Chen Yi will talk to you about me. ”

"Then let's change the subject......"

Xiao Ai smiled and replied, "It's better to concentrate on eating, go to the hospital to see my aunt after eating, I haven't been in two days." ”

"Hmm."

Just as I was about to concentrate on eating these plates of lobster, Xiao Ai suddenly wiped his hands, and then said to me: "By the way, I forgot to tell you something." ”

"It's not particularly important, or you wouldn't forget."

"You're wrong, it's still important......"

My curiosity was aroused by her, and it seemed to me that there was really nothing too important between the two of us except to get married. I asked her, "What's the matter?" ”

Xiao Ai's face was full of seriousness: "Li Zishan has begun to sell her shares in Jinding Real Estate, I want to ask you if you want to buy some shares from her in the name of Tulip Hotel." ”

I was really shocked, because it hadn't been a few days since Li Zishan came to me, but she had already made this heartbreaking decision. What's behind this?

Instead of rushing to answer Xiao Ai, I asked her, "I would love to know, what prompted her to make this decision in such a hurry?" ”

Xiao Ai replied: "She has been frequently investigated by the Economic Investigation Bureau during this time, if you are a shareholder of the company, do you choose to stand on my side or her?" What's more, I am the largest shareholder of the group, although I don't have the absolute right to speak, but I still have advantages......" After a slight pause, she said: "Don't you say that people's hearts are like this?" When the wind blows, it falls. Li Zishan has lost ground, and the success or failure of the mall is often in an instant. ”

I nodded, and after a moment said, "I think you have a little reservation about me, though...... Even if she is investigated by the Economic Investigation Bureau, she will not say that she will fall, after all, her foundation in Jinding Real Estate is very solid. ”

Xiao Ai took a sip of the water glass in front of her, she looked a little uncomfortable, and after a long time, she said with a straight face: "It was Zhao Mu who played a decisive role in this, he originally belonged to Li Zishan's camp, but he was the first to express his support for me, he should have done a lot of work in private...... You know, these people have been holding the group, there must be a lot of improper interests between them, and Zhao Mu may have taken advantage of this to make them change their position. ”

I didn't have words, but kept looking at Xiao Ai.

Xiao Ai put down the cup in his hand again, and then said to me: "I have a bottom line, these are definitely not what I took the initiative to ask Zhao Mu to do, but I promised him that if these people are willing to leave Li Zishan's camp, I can not blame what I have done in the past, and give them a better reward...... I admit that my own role in this great upheaval was limited, but as a decision-maker......"

Xiao Ai didn't continue, but I understood what she meant, she didn't use Zhao Mu as a tool, it was Zhao Mu who took the initiative to approach her, and she didn't choose to refuse out of some interest considerations. I can understand her, but I'm afraid Zhao Mu doesn't understand it that way......

I finally asked her, "Have you estimated the specific value of Li Zishan's shares?" ”

"There should be a volume of 3 billion."

I immediately replied: "This is no longer a capital game that I can play, but Qiao Ye will definitely be interested...... Their family has been engaged in construction for so many years, and has been seeking greater development, and now the momentum of the real estate industry is rising again, and it is very in line with their interests at this stage to acquire the shares in Li Zishan's hands...... However, Li Zishan doesn't pick the object of selling? ”

Xiao Ai shook his head and replied: "I won't pick it, she is in a hurry to sell it now, and with such a large volume, looking at the entire Nanjing, there are few groups and individuals who can take over." ”

"Then I'll talk to Qiao Ye, after all, it's my own people, and the shares are controlled in the hands of their group, which will help you somewhat."

"Hmm."

Xiao Ai didn't speak again after answering, and I could feel that even though the current situation was very favorable to her, her heart was uncomfortable. And this must have something to do with Zhao Mu, and from her heart, she is not willing to tie her interests too closely with Zhao Mu.

……

This night, after Xiao Ai and I went to the hospital to see Yang Jin, I immediately contacted Qiao Ye, I want to get this matter done as soon as possible, if Qiao Ye can really buy the part of Li Zishan's shares, then the battle between Xiao Ai and Li Zishan can come to an end.

I made an appointment with Qiao Ye at the "Wutong Hotel", this is the second time I have come here today, but at this time, there is no one in the tea restaurant under the hotel, even so, I still want a private room.

After sitting down, Qiao Ye complained to me: "What can't you say on the phone, you have to ask me out?" ”

I poured him a cup of tea and replied, "Not trivial...... Li Zishan of Jinding Real Estate is ready to sell his shares, and at present, it should still be inside information, so he made a special trip to ask you out and ask you if you are interested in taking over. ”

Qiao Ye looked at me with some surprise, and asked for a while, "Are you sure the source of the news is reliable?" ”

"Sure, Xiao Ai told me."

Qiao Ye changed his sitting position, and then lit a cigarette for himself, he fell into a state of weighing, and I didn't bother him during the whole process, giving him enough space to think, after all, this is not a trivial matter, even if it is Qiao Ye's Jiangjian Group, in the face of this 3o billion capital investment, it is at least a medium meaning.

After ten minutes, Qiao Ye said to me: "To be honest, in terms of the shares currently held by Li Zishan and the market value of Jinding Real Estate, the price of 3o billion is not high, but the risk is still very large, because it is not clear how many dangerous assets there are, once they are cleared, we will definitely have to bear the corresponding responsibility......" After a slight pause, he said: "But this is indeed a great opportunity for our group, because it is too much in line with our interests at this stage......

I replied, "Risk and opportunity have always coexisted...... From my point of view, of course, I hope that you can take over this part of the shares, although in terms of business, it is a bit fake to say that you are a person, but you to cooperate with Xiao Ai, it must make me feel more at ease than others. ”

Qiao Ye smiled, and replied after a moment: "That's the truth...... But in the end, whether to take over or not, we have to do our homework in advance, after all, the 3o billion funds are invested, if there is a problem, for us, it will also hurt our muscles and bones, this is really not a joke. ”
