Chapter 61
Early the next morning, Xiao Chen picked them up and went to Ennan.
They arrived almost at the same time as the Zhao family's father and son, and the four of them met in the spacious lobby of the office building, and Li Shuo and Zhao Jinxin met each other, and they all pretended to say hello.
Zhao Jinxin was indeed a little haggard, although he had cleaned himself up, but he still couldn't hide the sluggishness in spirit, Li Shuo suspiciously ignored Zhao Jinxin's eyes that looked at him intently, and followed his father step by step.
The two fathers had a tacit understanding, and as soon as they met, they discussed today's nervous market, but the young people behind them were silent all the way.
Zhao Rongtian called the executives of the branch to a small conference room for a meeting, at the meeting, Zhao Jinxin apologized for his behavior during this time, Zhao Rongtian also scolded him, his words were quite ruthless, Zhao Jinxin kept his head down and listened, looking very sincere, and several executives said good things to him. As soon as the father and son sang, the matter passed.
And then we get down to business.
Zhao Rongtian spoke highly of Ennan's operation in the past six months, and also expressed his strategic plan to shift the focus of trade to the north.
Li Shuo lowered his head to take notes, and when he looked up, he was about to look in the direction of Zhao Rongtian as a sign of politeness, but Zhao Jinxin was sitting next to Zhao Rongtian, and he could feel his eyes on him from time to time, which made him a little irritable. He used his greatest professionalism to concentrate his energy and never looked at Zhao Jinxin.
After the meeting, it was almost lunch time, Zhao Rongtian booked a box in the hotel opposite the office building, invited the executives to eat, the chairman of the group came, the executives naturally made a lot of effort to pat on the back, and began to staggered at noon.
Li Shuo sat aside, quietly blocking the wine for his father, the whole dinner, only Li Shuo was neither a leader, nor an executive, or even a person from the company, the dinner was an atmosphere, and it was safest to pour him, so he drank double wine alone, and soon became a little struggling.
The executives of the personnel department came to toast again, Li Shuo stood up as usual, ready to drink for his father, the wine glass was sent to his mouth, but it was suddenly taken away without a trace, Li Shuo was stunned, and looked at Zhao Jinxin, who was standing aside for some time.
Zhao Jinxin smiled at the executive: "Mr. Zhang, my uncle is not in good health, and my eldest brother is too much to drink, so I will do it for you." After speaking, without waiting for the other party's reaction, he raised his head and drank a glass of wine.
Li Shuo looked at Zhao Jinxin in a daze, and Mr. Li was also thoughtful.
The president has replaced the wine, and the subordinates are naturally not easy to say, but this group of people is usually not very convinced by Zhao Jinxin, after all, they are the "leaders" of the same age as their children, and they just fell off the chain some time ago.
Zhao Rongtian didn't play a round either, obviously wanting to take the opportunity to educate his son.
Li Shuo's face was a little gloomy, he didn't appreciate it, he just watched Zhao Jinxin help him drink, he had suffered too many losses, and he would never be moved by Zhao Jinxin's "kindness" again, who knows what the purpose behind it was.
The executives of various departments saluted, and Zhao Jinxin drank a small half catty of liquor alone, and the more he drank, the more his face turned pale, and the reddened corners of his eyes made him look a little fragile and pitiful.
After drinking almost, Zhao Rongtian said a few words and dispersed.
Zhao Jinxin glanced at Li Shuo and whispered, "Are you okay?" β
"Thanks, it's fine." Li Shuo nodded expressionlessly, stood up, and said to his father, "Dad, Xiao Chen is waiting downstairs, let's go home and rest." β
Mr. Li nodded, got up, and patted Zhao Jinxin on the shoulder: "Jinxin, thank you today." β
"Uncle, you're polite." Zhao Jinxin said it to Mr. Li, but he always looked at Li Shuo with watery eyes.
Li Shuo pretended not to see it, he didn't know what Zhao Jinxin was playing with again.
"Brother Li." Zhao Jinxin leaned on the chair and stood up slowly, "I'm sorry, can you help me go to the bathroom?" β
Li Shuo opened his mouth, and in front of so many people, he had no choice but to nod: "Dad, you wait for me downstairs." β
Everyone went out one after another, and only the two of them were left in the box, Li Shuo closed the door of the box and said flatly: "Don't go to the bathroom, if you have anything to say, just say it here." β
Zhao Jinxin straightened his waist and looked at Li Shuo deeply: "I drank too much that day, in fact, I am very happy that you came to see me." β
Li Shuo nodded: "I know you drank too much." "If you are the usual cunning Zhao Jinxin, you won't say those gaffes, if you really vomit the truth after drinking.
Zhao Jinxin touched his nose and said a little embarrassedly: "I don't look good during this time, it's all because of you." β
Li Shuo raised his eyebrows: "I'm not responsible for this, what do you want to say, hurry up." β
Zhao Jinxin took a few steps forward, Li Shuo frowned, and subconsciously took a step back. Zhao Jinxin grabbed his arm and said softly, "You won't be afraid of me, right?" β
Li Shuo smiled: "What are you afraid of?" β
"I don't know, but I feel like you're afraid of me."
Li Shuo looked directly into Zhao Jinxin's eyes without being humble or arrogant: "I think too much." β
Zhao Jinxin leaned down and pressed Li Shuo's ear and said, "I did think a lot, do you want to know what I thought?" β
Li Shuo pushed him away and said indifferently, "I'm not interested." He turned and walked to the door.
"Li Shuo." Zhao Jinxin said suddenly, "You won." This sentence was accompanied by a soft sigh, as if bowing to some kind of force.
Li Shuo paused, didn't understand what Zhao Jinxin's brainless words meant, and he didn't want to know, he opened the door and left the box.
Zhao Jinxin gently wiped the corners of his mouth with his fingertips, a pair of soul-saunting peach blossom eyes brewed with a storm that could suck people in, and he whispered, "You win, you belong to me." β
Li Shuo walked downstairs in one breath and got into the car waiting outside the lobby.
Mr. Li asked, "Are you okay, Jin Xin is okay?" β
"Dad, we're fine."
"Jinxin, this kid is still a lot more sensible, and I was surprised that something suddenly happened this time."
Li Shuo let out a perfunctory "oh", Zhao Jinxin's sudden and changed attitude made him feel a little upset, he should have been used to it a long time ago, used to this person's fickleness.
Mr. Li seemed to fall into the memory: "Jin Xin, this child, has been quite rebellious since he was a child, he likes to play some dangerous things, if you don't return to China and grow up with him, he will definitely save Lao Zhao a lot of heart, I can see that this child respects you a lot." β
"yes, yes." Li Shuo looked out the window, absent-minded.
"By the way, the heir of Hongyun Capital, you have time to ask him out, I will accompany your mother back to my hometown in two days."
"Okay, tomorrow at noon."
"Okay, you remember to inform Jinxin."
Li Shuo frowned: "Inform him of what?" β
"Doesn't Jinxin want to take a stake? Did he tell you? β
Li Shuo was stunned: "...... No. β
"Didn't you?" Mr. Li didn't take it to heart, "Oh, it was Lao Zhao who asked me, he said that Jinxin is also interested in this project, it just so happens that our investment ratio is relatively small, and we will establish a strategic cooperation with Jinxin and contribute money together, at least 30% of the shares, and we will have more right to speak." β
"Dad, our intention contracts have been signed, and his money is not easy to get in at this time."
"It's just an intention contract, and I haven't signed a formal contract, the money can still come in, it depends on how you talk to Hongyun, there is no problem on Lao Cui's side."
Li Shuo had a headache: "Dad, when it comes to this project, the basic terms have been decided, and it is too troublesome to add another one at this time." β
"Where is there to make money, and it is not troublesome." Mr. Li disagreed, "With our capital contribution ratio, we can only account for 15% of the shares, and it is not impossible to make money, but it is very boring to make less money, and the most important thing is that the weight of what you say in the project in the future is not enough, and it is very aggrieved, and it is beneficial to us to have a share of Zhao Jiashen." β
Li Shuo really couldn't refute it, because everything his father said was right, and he couldn't say it directly, he didn't want to have anything to do with Zhao Jinxin, so he had to say, "Dad, don't you think something is wrong, Ennantou is meaningless, and he can't make too much money, and he can't speak." β
"Jin Xin may have his own considerations, you have to ask him specifically, anyway, it's all about making money, what's wrong with it, if you think it's not good to talk to the people of Hongyun Capital, I'll talk about it tomorrow."
At this point, Li Shuo was helpless. He really, really didn't know what Zhao Jinxin wanted to do.
However, Zhou Jinxing is not easy to deal with, as the largest shareholder of this project, it is impossible to open the investment right casually, thinking about it, Li Shuo is a little relieved.
When he got home, Li Shuo called Zhou Jinxing and communicated about the matter.
Zhou Jinxing didn't know much about the relationship between Li Shuo and Zhao Jinxin, Li Shuo explained with some reservations what might happen tomorrow, Zhou Jinxing understood everything, he smiled calmly: "Don't worry, I don't plan to let others get involved." β
Li Shuo felt a little relieved: "Brother, it's up to you tomorrow, it's hard for me to refute my dad after all." β
Zhou Jinxing smiled: "Okay, leave it to me." β
Li Shuo said "goodbye" and hung up the phone.
Zhou Jinxing suddenly said: "Li Shuo, Yu Zhi, you are my friend, Yu Gong, we are partners, whether it is for public or private, I am willing to help you solve some troubles, this is also for the healthy development of our project, so, if you need me to do anything, don't be polite, tell me directly." β
Li Shuo said with a smile: "Thank you, I understand." β
Zhou Jinxing paused: "Moreover, this matter is also very interesting." β
ββ¦β¦ What's interesting? β
Zhou Jinxing chuckled: "It's okay, I'll see you tomorrow." β
"See you tomorrow."
After hanging up the phone, Li Shuo dug out the information, although he had confidence in Zhou Jinxing, he was very unsure of Zhao Jinxin's Cheng dΓΉ, so he had to find out some flaws in the project in case of emergency.
At this time, the mobile phone suddenly rang twice, and Li Shuo picked it up and saw that it was sent by Zhao Jinxin. There is no text, only a photo, which was taken by the two of them holding Ann and Bee together when they were on vacation at Qiandao Lake, and Zhao Jinxin in the photo is smiling easily and brightly, and he is obviously preoccupied by Li Chengxiu's affairs, but he is also smiling gently.
At that time, there was no estrangement or deception between them. It was a good time.
Li Shuo felt uncomfortable again.
