Xiao Huadan is dressed very simple and ordinary today, wearing a hooded sweatshirt and a mask on her face, obviously to hide people's eyes.

The two had met twice before, remembering each other, but both of them were stagnant.

In an instant, Xiao Huadan's eyes showed a faint smile, as if greeting her, tilting her body slightly, and letting her go.

Ruan Shu smiled back and stepped out of the elevator: "Thank you." ”

"You're welcome." Xiao Huadan rubbed with her and walked into the elevator.

After a few steps, catching the movement of the elevator slowly descending, Ruan Shu couldn't help but turn his head and glance back, squinted his eyes slightly, and then continued his steps.

As soon as I entered the door, I saw Fu Lingyuan leaning against the window next to the sofa and smoking.

The window was open, the north wind poured straight in, she felt cold in her coat, and he was still shirtless, facing the wind, not feeling at all, and the smoke in his mouth also drifted in with the wind.

Hearing the movement of opening the door, the moment he turned around, his eyes were clear and calm, and the next second he was idle: "What kind of meal have you bought for so long?" ”

"I went a little further and bought something from Xiaonan Country." Ruan Shu replied nonchalantly, brought the door with her feet, changed her shoes at the entrance, and noticed that the women's slippers she was wearing before were placed in a different position than before she left.

After a while, she didn't wear it, stepped on her socks and walked into the hall, carrying things and putting them on the dining table.

Fu Lingyuan also extinguished the cigarette butt and came to the dining table.

Ruan Shu took out the packed lunch box from the plastic bag, stopped his movements, and smiled lightly: "Third brother, eat slowly." ”

After that, she walked to the window and stopped where Fu Lingyuan was standing, clasped her arms in her hands, and looked out of the window. His eyes swept casually, and he caught a glimpse of a Focus that had been in touch with each other driving away from the exit of the North Gate.

"What's wrong?" Fu Lingyuan's inquiry sounded silently behind her head, and Ruan Shu turned around and was just surrounded by him.

He accommodated her height, leaned down slightly, carefully examined her expression, and narrowed his eyes to identify: "Something on your mind?" ”

Ruan Shu curled the corners of his lips: "I have a lot of things in my heart, which one is the third brother referring to?" ”

Fu Lingyuan didn't answer, lowered his eyes and stared at her feet, and asked, "Why don't you wear shoes?" ”

Ruan Shu's eyes followed his line of sight and stared at his feet in confusion, as if he had just noticed, revealing a sudden expression: "I'm afraid that the third brother will be hungry, and he will come in too quickly and forget to wear it." ”

Fu Lingyuan smiled, his dark eyes staring at her sharply and deeply, giving people the illusion that he could see through but not pierce.

Ruan Shu was uncomfortable, and motioned to him in the direction of the dining table: "Third brother, the food is going to be cold." ”

The wind blew her hair in the opposite direction, and the strands of hair flew to his face, and the ends of the hair tickled his face, carrying a faint scent of orange blossom, which was particularly refreshing.

Fu Lingyuan raised his arm, stretched out his fingers to help her brush her hair, pinned it behind her ears, and then couldn't help but put it on her lips: "Bring me some pre-dinner dessert first......

***

Ruan Shu came to look for him temporarily today. Although he has everything here, when she remembered that she went to the company in a skirt that did not match her usual style, and was speculated by Lin Chengzhi, her heart was uncomfortable. So he didn't stay at night, and Fu Lingyuan didn't force it.

At noon the next day, Lin Chengzhi brought a new news - Sanxin Group expressed its willingness to acquire Lin's.

Ruan Shu frowned: "What acquisition method?" ”

"Share subscription."

"One hundred?"

"No, seventy-five percent." Lin Chengzhi smiled.

Ruan Shu was slightly surprised. She thought that with the hegemon of Sanxin Group, she was used to controlling everything.

Looking at Lin Chengzhi's smile as if he had taken advantage of something, Ruan Shu poured cold water: "How low is the Lin family's stock price in the market now, the eldest uncle should know, right?" ”

Taking advantage of this time to acquire, Sanxin Group picked up the biggest bargain.

From investment to acquisition. From a stake to a master. The change in the middle is precisely because of the great damage to the vitality of the Lin family this time. Ruan Shu felt that he had faintly smelled some clues, and couldn't help but have a bold guess in his heart - if the original investment was just a temptation and a pretense, the original intention of Sanxin Group was to acquire Lin's?

As soon as the thought came to her mind, a chill ran down her spine.

The ear is Lin Chengzhi's persuasion: "Xiao Shu, Sanxin Group is willing to acquire, for Lin's is equivalent to a standing tree, although we have become its subsidiary, but the parent company will bring us the most powerful financial support and resource channels." In particular, the two of us still hold 25% of the shares. The management and operations of the company are basically the same as we used to—"

"Uncle," Ruan Shu made a gesture to pause, and asked with a smile, "Now the general person in charge of the company is still me, and it is not appropriate for you to come forward and talk to the other party about such a big thing as the acquisition of the Lin family?" If we agree to be subscribed later, will it be up to you, uncle, to sign the contract? ”

Lin Chengzhi's eyes flashed with a gleam: "Xiao Shu, with Sanxin Group, I have been in charge of contacting. In your hands, in case—"

"I didn't want to rob you of this, uncle." Ruan Shu's eyes were clear, "It's just that I have to meet with the contact person of Sanxin Group, right?" How do I know that my uncle is not fooling me? ”

"Flickering?" Lin Chengzhi was a little annoyed by Ruan Shu's wording, got up, brushed his sleeves, and snorted coldly, "The day after tomorrow is the shareholders' meeting, if you can't decide, I'll discuss it with you." ”

Ruan Shu's expression turned two points colder, and he sneered: "The eldest uncle's determination is very fast. Don't forget that this is to ask our Lin family to change their surname to Lu. ”

In the evening, Ma Yi suddenly came to talk on the phone.

Catching a glimpse of his name, Ruan Shu's heart suddenly stumbled, and while flipping through the calendar to confirm the date, he calmly picked it up and said hello: "Doctor Ma." ”

Ma Yi's tone has always not fluctuated much: "When I saw the news, I was thinking, you should have been so busy recently that you couldn't even think about the medical treatment." ”

Ruan Shu spontaneously helped him make up the second half of the sentence in his heart: It turns out that this is the case.

She propped her forehead and sighed, "You are a good doctor who understands patients. I'm really out of shape. ”

"I didn't force you to come. You usually can't fully calm down and talk to me, and if you do, I'm afraid you can't do it. ”

Although his voice didn't reflect his emotions, from past experience, his temper was so good today that Ruan Shu wondered if it was him.

"I'm just a phone call to confirm with you." Ma Yi finally said, a little bit of an explanation.

Ruan Shu curled the corners of his lips: "Ma Yi, thank you." ”

Soon after, the secretary came in and told her that there was a policeman waiting downstairs in the building.

Ruan Shu pondered that it was Fu Qingli, and it happened that she could also get off work, so she packed up her things and rushed down.

After a distance, Fu Qingli waved at her and greeted: "Third sister-in-law~"

Looking around at the eyes of the people around her, Ruan Shu quickened her pace and walked in front of her: "I said, you can just call me Ruan Shu directly." ”

"Nope." Fu Qingli's reaction was a little big, and he shook his head violently, "If you don't talk about seniority, you will be punished." ”

Hearing the word "punished", Ruan Shu unconsciously remembered the terrible injury on Fu Lingyuan's back - this kind of patriarch of the Zhong Ming Ding Food Family seems to have carved the tradition of establishing rules into his bones.

Frowning, she changed the subject: "I found your brother." Don't worry, he's recovering from his injuries. He is in good health and has not had any major problems. ”

"Actually......" Fu Qingli's expression showed a hint of hesitation, "Third sister-in-law, in fact, I came to you today not to ask about your third brother." ”

"Huh?" Ruan Shu searched with his eyes and motioned for her to continue.

Fu Qingli bit her lip lightly: "...... Let's sit in the café next door. ”

Ruan Shu had a premonition that his eyelids jumped not very well.

Five minutes later, the café next door.

Fu Qingli took Ruan Shu to a table by the window on the second floor, and avoided leaving.

In the sofa seat in front of the table, a woman smiled lightly at the corner of her mouth and bowed slightly at her: "Miss Ruan, it's abrupt." ”

Except for one or two crow's feet at the corners of her eyes, the years don't seem to have left too many traces on this woman's face, and a pair of eyes even reveal a delicate look. The seven or eight points of familiarity between the eyebrows and eyes make it easy to think of her as Fu Qingli's sister at first glance.

However, Ruan Shu could judge that she should be Fu Lingyuan and Fu Qingli's mother.

"Hello, auntie." Ruan Shu bowed politely.

Mother Fu pointed to the empty sofa chair: "Miss Ruan, please take a seat." ”

Ruan Shu sat down, and soon the waiter put a glass of lemonade in front of her, and at the same time handed over the order book. She hurriedly gestured to the waiter: "No need, thank you." ”

Turning her eyes back, Fu Mu was looking at her with a slight smile.

Or, in Ruan Shu's view, it is more accurate to examine.

knew that Fu's mother must have come for Fu Lingyuan and her marriage, so there was nothing to ask deliberately. Fu's mother didn't speak, Ruan Shu didn't say anything, and accepted her gaze calmly.

After a while, Fu's mother took a sip of the coffee cup, and when she raised her eyes again, three words spit out to Ruan Shu.

"Get out of him."
