Chapter 48: Rushing to Texas
Mess?
Without this mess, it would not be easy for Tang Bao to acquire it.
"Nick, I'm going to buy the American Southern Company." Tang Bao said solemnly.
"Boss, what do you need me to do? Although I left the Southern Company, I still have some friendship with its executives, so I should try it first. ”
"Yes."
Tang Bao said with a smile that having Nick in the middle can promote the understanding of both parties and be more conducive to his acquisition of the American Southern Company.
"Wait a minute, you go to my dormitory and send a market analysis report to the newspaper, no matter what method you use, in short, let him report it......"
"Yes."
……
Three days later.
The market forecast report written by Tang Bao was published in a newspaper in New York with a small circulation, and it did not attract the slightest attention, like a stone sinking into the sea. In this regard, Tang Bao was also prepared and did not care. As for Nick, there has been no news yet, and it is not clear how the talks with the American Southern Company are going.
Syllable.
The girl slapped Tang Bao on the shoulder and smiled faintly, "Hey, Tang, can I talk to you?" ”
Mira?
Tang Bao couldn't help but feel nervous when he saw the girl in front of him. "Okay, there's a café not far away, let's go talk there."
Soon.
Tang Bao and Mira arrived at the café, and the two sat opposite each other and ordered a cup of coffee each.
"Mira, what do you want me to talk to?"
He and Mira have met a few times, and they can talk, but like this time, the other party took the initiative to find him, which still surprised Tang Bao.
"Of course we talk about Lee." Mira said as a matter of course.
Forehead.
Tang Bao couldn't help but be surprised, secretly thinking that she and Li Zhen would not really be Lala. But he'd seen two girls together before, although they were intimate, but they hadn't reached that level.
"Go on......"
"You, don't you like Li, why don't you care about her at all." Mira's indifferent attitude towards Tang Bao was angry, and her tone was a little heavier.
"Something happened to her?"
Tang Bao asked nervously, since they separated that night, he had never met Li Zhen again. Maybe the other party doesn't want to see him at all......
"She's not in a very good state lately, she's always distracted and distracted from everything. You say, did you make her angry? Or what did you say to her? Thinking of her good friend's condition, Mira was very worried, and took Tang Bao for granted.
She found Tang Bao, and it was not groundless suspicion. Instead, someone told her that Tang Bao and Li Zhen had never met before this, and she had reason to suspect that Tang Bao was in trouble.
"Uh, I'm ......"
"What are you doing, what's going on? I know that Li only became like that after meeting you, and it must have something to do with you. ”
"Actually, it's nothing, I just said, I like her." Tang Bao said softly.
"What, you confessed to Lee?" Mira was surprised.
"Sort of."
Tang Bao was slightly embarrassed.
"Hmph, it's really your fault, no wonder Li is so worried all day long." Mira said with a cold snort.
Tang Bao was silent.
"Hmph, you're dumb." Mira was not at all polite.
"Mira, what do you want me to say, maybe I confessed to her that night on my spur of the moment, but I really like her. But she seems to be deliberately avoiding ......"
"You're so stupid. How old are you and how old is she? If memory serves, you're only fifteen, and Lee is twenty. There is a five-year difference between you, and in the eyes of Americans, this age difference is not a problem. Although Li is a Chinese-American, she is also influenced by your national concept, can she not take it into account? Also, Lee's parents were smuggled from China to the United States because of some ......"
Age gap?
Forehead.
Tang Bao was very surprised, he thought that Li Zhen grew up in the United States, and he shouldn't care about this little thing when he heard about it, so he didn't care about it.
Now.
Tang Bao was a little excited, listening to Mira's meaning, it seemed that Li Zhen also liked him a little.
"Mira, as you said, this age gap is not a problem, and I don't care. I know that her parents were smuggled to the United States, but does it have anything to do with it? ”
"I don't know, I just heard her talk about it." Mira shook her head.
……
"Mira, you are Li Zhen's best friend, and you have the best relationship with her, so you know that she also likes me, right?" Tang Bao couldn't figure out Li Zhen's thoughts, so he had to ask Mira for confirmation.
"I guess so."
Mira also muttered uncertainly. "To be honest, Lee is a very conservative girl, she rarely spends time alone with boys, you are an exception, although she explains that she talks with you about studying, and she can learn a lot of different things from you. But her performance in the past few days has betrayed her, and it is not as simple as she said. ”
Ha.
Hearing Mira's words, Tang Bao immediately smiled.
"Where is she now?"
"Bedroom, hmph, it turned out that I made an appointment to go out shopping after the exam a few days ago, but Li regretted it......"
"Mira, thank you." After speaking, Tang Bao left in a hurry.
Mira didn't expect Tang Bao to walk so simply, lost her mind for a moment, and when she turned around, where could he still see Tang Bao's shadow, "Hey, I haven't settled yet...... Bastard ......"
……
Mira's words, Tang Bao swept away the depression of failing to confess in recent days, and went straight to the girls' dormitory.
Come to the door of the dormitory.
Tang Bao was stopped by the dormitory administrator, "Stop, this is the girls' dormitory area, who are you looking for?" Hey, why are you, Don? ”
"You're Katie?"
Looking carefully at the girl who stopped him, Tang Bao asked with some uncertainty.
"That's right. Don, we haven't seen each other in more than half a year, and I'm really glad that you still recognize me. Are you here for someone? Katie said with a smile.
Katie.
The first American girl Tang Bao met when he came to the United States, and she was also the tutor that Aunt Qing found for her to assist him in English courses, but for various reasons, her tutoring career was not long, and she only gave Tang two weeks of lessons, and then quit for personal reasons.
"You're the dorm keeper here?"
"Hmm."
Katie smiled and nodded.
"What a coincidence, it turns out that you are also a student at Columbia University." Tang Bao sighed that the encounter in life was originally just a passerby in life, but suddenly appeared by his side again.
"I'm amazed by your performance."
The two have not been in contact for a long time, but after all, they know each other, and this chance encounter can't help but talk a lot, so they chatted for a while.
It was Katie's words that reminded him of the purpose of coming.
"Tell me, Don, which lucky girl drew you to the girls' dormitory."
"Uh, Katie, please do me a favor. Since you are the administrator of this dormitory, you should know Li Zhen, I want to find her, can you call her out? ”
"You don't go in directly, it's daytime, you can go in."
"Nope."
Tang Bao groaned for a while and immediately shook his head resolutely, Frank had asked him to carry some things for the girls before, but he had entered the girls' dormitory and had a not very good experience. He didn't want to come back, and the best thing to do was to avoid going into the girls' dormitory again.
"Well, you wait......"
……
It didn't take long.
Li Zhen appeared alone, her face was slightly yellow, and her spirit didn't look very good, "Tang Bao, is there something wrong with me in a hurry?" ”
"I heard that your course exams have been completed, so I will invite you to dinner."
"You even know that?"
Mira said. I'm not spying on you......"
Hearing Tang Bao talk about Mira, Li Zhen's heart couldn't help but tighten, and asked, "Mira?" What else did she tell you? ”
"Nope."
Tang Bao didn't feel the need to tell her what Mila had said.
"Really?"
"Of course."
This time, Tang Bao invited her to dinner, and Li Zhen did not refuse. Tang Bao was secretly thinking about which restaurant to choose to eat, but there were always some people who were not open-minded and would choose to appear at the wrong time. Nick, who has not been heard from, came to him at this point in time.
Nick knew that the boss was very interested in acquiring the Southern Company, so he was sure that the other party was willing to sell, so he couldn't wait to tell Tang Bao the good news, and in his excitement, he consciously ignored the irrelevant people and things around him: "Boss, the matter is done." ”
"Whew...... Nick, it's a good time for you to come back. Tang Bao said dissatisfiedly.
“……”
Nick was inexplicably angry at his boss, but when he saw the beautiful Li Zhen beside Tang Bao, he immediately understood where Tang Bao's anger came from.
My God.
"Forgive me, I didn't mean to ruin my boss's date."
"Is he?"
Li Zhen understood the reason for Tang Bao's dissatisfaction, but a smile appeared on his face, and he glanced at Nick, who was at a loss, and asked.
Tang Bao was unhappy about Nick's untimely appearance, but it was impossible to really blame him.
After all.
Nick's ability, I really can't say anything.
"Nick, it's my personal assistant, helping me with the little things." Tang Bao briefly introduced.
"Personal assistant?"
Li Zhen was a little surprised, and said with a smile: "I thought that for people like you, personal assistants must be women, or must they be beautiful women?" ”
"Uh."
Tang Bao's tone was stunned, he had thought so in his heart, there were also beautiful women among the recommended candidates of the headhunting company, but the real talent and learning were not satisfactory, and they could not be compared with Nick at all. If the strength of the two is about the same, of course Tang Bao will choose a beautiful and delicate female personal assistant, even if something that a man desires can't happen, but it's at least pleasing to the eye when he puts it around, isn't it?
But without any real materials, just a face, Tang Bao naturally couldn't ask for this kind of vase.
"I'm that kind of person......"
"At a young age, you think about impure things, who can you be." Li Zhen shot back.
Dizzy.
Tang Bao had a feeling that he was going to faint, saying that if he liked you, he would not be pure.
"Since there is something, you can deal with it first, don't delay."
Tang Bao glanced at Nick.
Nick's eyes were still good at this time, and he immediately reported in the briefest words, and then prepared to flash people. "Boss, Angela, the president of the American Southern Company, has agreed to negotiate your acquisition intentions, and since the equity involves more than a dozen investors, you need to go to Texas in person."
"So troublesome?" Tang Bao frowned. According to his idea, with Nick as the middleman, as long as the two parties negotiate the purchase price, he can handle it without coming forward.
