Chapter 42: The Contest between the Old Fox and the Wolf
I took a deep breath, ignored her, and went upstairs.
As soon as I entered the room, the mobile phone in the bag rang twice, and it was Lu Zhengnan's text message: What should I do, I will definitely not be able to sleep at night.
I replied: Why?
He said, "Because I'm so happy!"
I hooked my lips, didn't reply to him, put down my phone and bag, fell on the bed, stretched out my hands and feet, relaxed myself, and didn't think about Lin Xiaoyue's ridicule just now.
From the night of the reception, Lin Xiaoyue sent me into Meng Chengyang's arms, I was cold to her, ten years of sisterhood turned into black oil in an instant, she can really be ruthless, just for a man who doesn't take her seriously, sacrifice me like this.
I let out a long sigh, got up, and went into the bathroom to shower. When I was changing into pajamas, I was stunned to see the kiss mark on my chest in the mirror that had not completely dissipated......
The scene of that night came back to mind...... The picture is clearer and clearer every time...... I suddenly felt short of breath and my cheeks were inexplicably hot, so I hurriedly lowered my head and patted it with cold water to let my thoughts pull back.
Zou Zichen's words echoed in his ears again, and his mood instantly became gloomy.
Early the next morning, Lu Zhengnan sent me a good morning text message, which made me very heartwarming. I think I should find a chance to confess everything to Lu Zhengnan, and when the time comes, if he is still willing to accept me, then I will definitely not fail him.
When it was almost noon, Lu Zhengnan suddenly called, saying that Hengyuan had a big project in Xiamen, and the bidding was imminent, and his team had to go to the field for inspection, and it was estimated that it would take ten days to return to Rongcheng.
I asked him when he was leaving, and he said he would leave in the afternoon.
Lu Zhengnan said that the incident came suddenly, and he had just received a notice.
I could hear the reluctance in his words, so I comforted him, and if I had time on Saturdays and Sundays, I drove over to see him, and his mood became lighter.
Although Xiamen is very close to Banyan City, it is not so convenient to meet each other.
After collecting the line, I was a little bored, thinking that I hadn't been to the company for a few days, so I changed my clothes and went out. For me, it's not as comfortable at home as it is in the office.
To my surprise, my father was also in the company.
I met him at the gate of the company, Wu Yue accompanied him, they seemed to have a meal, and they were just going out, so when they saw me, they asked me to go with him.
I didn't want to go, but looking at his eyes full of sorrow, I couldn't refuse, so I got into his car with Wu Yue.
As soon as I got in the car, Wu Yue chatted with me, saying that several suppliers who had promised grace at the reception had changed their minds because of Meng Chengyang's scandal, and now they simply don't even supply the goods, and they also let people come to collect debts every day, and the company is restless. The bank is even more down, and if it doesn't let go of the generation, it is just urging the generation...... The company has really been in trouble these days.
Wu Yue said that his hair was about to turn gray.
Hearing him say this, I was also anxious in my heart, and asked him if Guo Jingshu had any emergency solutions.
Wu Yue sighed and said: "Mr. Guo gave two proposals, one is to reorganize the company, apply for stock suspension, stop the loss first, introduce foreign capital, he has the resources to pull the strings; The second is the capital increase, before and after the capital increase, the stock can also apply for suspension, as long as the liquid capital can be in place, it is only a matter of time to start the whole situation. ”
In fact, the two suggestions put forward by Guo Jingshu are the most practical methods at present, and Yatai has no extra options at all.
"What does the chairman mean?" I asked again.
Wu Yue glanced at me and said very melancholy: "Chairman, he doesn't want to reorganize...... But in the current situation of Yatai, who would be willing to increase the capital. ”
I turned my head and looked at the car in front of me, "So who are we going to see now?" ”
"I don't know, I was called on the spot, too." Wu Yue replied, and then said: "In the morning, Meng Zhijie came to the chairman, and it seemed that it was a little unpleasant. There was a pause, "I heard that Meng Chengyang is going abroad." ”
I sneered in my heart, Meng Chengyang didn't have the face to stay in Rongcheng.
Wu Yue saw that I wasn't talking, so I didn't say anything.
Ten minutes later, the car stopped at the door of a club, and Wu Yue got out of the car one step ahead of me, and went forward to open the door for my father and put his wheelchair.
It's an upscale private club, and I've been there a few times with my father before. It's a great place to talk about business, the environment is good and quiet, the food is even better, the restaurants outside can't be compared at all, and not just anyone can book a place.
The shift manager was very familiar with my father, personally received us, and led us to the private room on the second floor.
It seems that my father had already ordered it.
"That Manager Wang, you will order the dishes, I am entertaining a guest of honor today, and you can handle the standard." Father instructed Manager Wang.
"Okay, Lin Dong." Manager Wang motioned for us to do it first, and he was busy.
Wu Yue helped his father move from a wheelchair to a seat. My father sat down, saw that I was still stunned, and waved his hand, "You sit next to me." ”
I walked over and sat down in the seat to his left.
"Are you cured of your cold?" He asked suddenly, with a rare mildness.
"Okay, almost." I'm lukewarm.
"Can I drink for a while?"
I turned my head to look at him, "It's okay to have a drink." "I actually practiced the amount of alcohol I drank next to him.
"At that moment, you will salute the guests for your father."
"Okay."
After a while, my father said earnestly: "Whether Yatai can get through this hurdle depends on this meal." ”
My heart jumped, and I just wanted to ask who he invited today?
The door of the private room was pushed in from the outside, and Zou Zichen, dressed in a casual white suit, stepped in very leisurely, followed by an older man.
I just felt my head pounding, and my whole body felt uncomfortable.
"Mr. Zou is here." Wu Yue got up and greeted him.
Father smiled: "Mr. Zou is really punctual, I can't get up to greet him." "My father was very humble.
I stood up politely, but I didn't know where to put my eyes.
And when Zou Zichen saw me, he didn't even move his eyes, as if I was air.
"Chairman Lin is polite," Zou Zichen lightly, pointed back at the man beside him, and introduced: "This is my chief assistant, Mr. Ye Qiliang." ”
When my father saw Mr. Ye Qiliang, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, but his face was not wavering.
"I heard that Mr. Zou has a very capable assistant, and it is really rare to be lucky to meet him today." Father polite.
"Lin Dong has won the award." Ye Qiliang said with a smile that was neither humble nor arrogant.
"This is my eldest daughter, Lin Tong, the current general manager of Yatai, and Mr. Zou have known each other for a long time." The father said meaningfully, pointed at Wu Yue again, and introduced: "This is her assistant, Wu Yue." ”
Wu Yue hurriedly stepped forward to hold Zou Zichen and Ye Ziliang, pulled chairs for them, and invited them to take their seats.
I shook hands with Ye Qiliang across the table, and I knew each other.
Zou Zichen happened to sit opposite me again, but he didn't look at me, his eyes were cold
At this time, Manager Wang knocked on the door and came in and asked if it was okay to serve cold dishes. The father nodded, signaling that it was okay, and then he smiled at Zou Zichen: "What kind of wine does Zou always like to drink?" ”
"Bottle '82 Lafite." Zou Zichen was concise and unceremonious.
My father instructed the waiter, "Two bottles of 82 Lafite." ”
"I'm sorry, but there's only one bottle of '82-year-old Lafite in the store, don't you think it...... Come to bottle 89?" The waiter is very embarrassed to recommend it.
The father looked at Zou Zichen and asked with his eyes.
"It's nice to have a bottle, so let's get a bottle first." Zou Zichen smiled lightly.
The waiter turned around and went out to prepare the drink.
Zou Zichen said again: "I didn't expect that Dong Chang Lin was more familiar than me here, and the last time I asked for this year's wine, he said no." ”
"It must have been a coincidence." The father was tepid.
The cold dish was quickly served.
"Mr. Zou, please." Father polite.
Zou Zichen's fingers tapped on the tabletop, "Before eating, I used to have an aperitif first. ”
I couldn't help but glance at him, there are so many broken habits.
"Waiter, can you take a look at the wine?" Wu Yue asked the waiter behind him to go out and have a look.
"By the way, Lin Dong invited me to come today...... Is there something going on? Zou Zichen took the lighter on the table and played with it.
Does this person have ADHD, he always likes to manipulate things, I think about it.
The father coughed lightly twice and said, "The incident I mentioned to Mr. Zou at the cocktail party a few days ago, I don't know what Mr. Zou thought about?" ”
Zou Zichen leaned back in the chair, folded his legs, frowned tangledly, and said: "I was originally a little interested, but at the moment Yatai is a spiral nest, whoever enters will die, I don't want to find death." ”
"We can negotiate the conditions." Father was a little anxious.
Zou Zichen chuckled, and suddenly turned his eyes to glance at me.
I touched his gaze, and I hurriedly opened my eyes, and my heart pounded, and his smiling appearance was really oozing.
"What other conditions can Yatai offer to attract people now?" He was a little dismissive.
At this time, the waiter who went to urge the wine entered the private room with the wine, and my father asked the waiter to put down the wine and go out, and turned his head and motioned for me to pour the wine.
I gritted my teeth, got up, and walked to the cupboard, just about to pick up the wine from the ice shelf.
"Lafite '82 has to be chilled for 15 minutes for the best taste...... Mr. Lin won't even ignore this common sense. Zou Zichen sneered.
I'm embarrassed...... This son of a bitch, there are so many things.
"I'm sorry, I personally think that the 82-year-old Lafite is better if it is not iced, so I pour a glass first, so as not to change the taste after being chilled." I'm justifying myself.
Zou Zichen sneered at the corner of his mouth and glanced at me coldly. That's like saying, "Do you know about red wine?"
My father watched my battle with Zou Zichen without moving.
I poured myself a glass and walked back to my seat indifferently, of course it was impossible to pour a drink for Zou Zichen.
And when he saw that I had poured my eight-point full glass, his eyes became more and more disdainful.
"Lin Dong, if Yatai is valued now, how much do you think it is worth?" Ye Qiliang burst out at this time, breaking the embarrassing atmosphere.
The father coughed lightly and said: "Taiya has been on the market for more than ten years, and its reputation has always been very good, and this signboard can sell for more than a billion, not to mention that we have newly developed two antibiotics." If it weren't for the impact of the stock market crash, Yatai would not need to attract investment at all. ”
"But we heard that these two antibiotics have not been reviewed by the Food and Drug Administration." Ye Qiliang raised his eyebrows, "And Yatai has invested a lot of money in the research and development of these two drugs, and it also owes a large amount of money to the bank...... Otherwise, with Yatai's strength, it is impossible to be defeated by the stock market crash, right? ”
The father squinted, and the smiling face on his face was a little unbearable.
I'm also surprised, where did they hear about this kind of trade secret?
