Chapter 217: Before the Storm
"What the hell is going on, and why are you putting together your finances at this time?" Although I have been fishing for three days and drying nets for two days when I work under Qiao Yichen, I have also figured out his work habits. This kind of long meetings and long hours of overtime is almost non-existent.
"It's still a matter of the Cuihu construction site, didn't the person in charge of the site run away, according to the inspection of the quality inspection department, there are several batches of building materials that do have problems. This matter has been temporarily suppressed by the media, but the investor has been notified according to the relevant process. Now all investors are in unison - all cooperation will be suspended, and divestment will not be ruled out. Now it is necessary to summarize the finances, see how much liquidity is available on the books, and prepare the information of the real estate by the way, so that it is convenient to discuss the loan with the bank later. Qiao Yichen continued to play with my hair, feeling a little in love.
Although Qiao Yichen only said a few words, it sounded like a very routine job. But I'm not a small secretary who prohibits the order, so I can naturally hear something deeper - now Yingjia is 'a clever woman who can't cook without rice', if the funds are not in place in the short term, the project of Cuihu will have a crisis, facing a large amount of liquidated damages, then the company's other projects will also be lost due to the funding gap, and the consequences of the gradual escalation of the crisis will be very serious.
What's more strange is that now the project still has a chance to turn around, but the investor has stopped injecting capital in a unified voice, and threatens to withdraw capital, which is a bit interesting. After all, the amount of investment varies from one person to another, and when the contract was signed, the rights and obligations discussed were not the same. Some partners are waiting for compensation which is much more cost-effective than divestment. It can only show one thing that several companies with different interests can reach an agreement - there are people behind the scenes, such as making bad intentions, threatening or other ulterior means to provoke investors into trouble. As for who can have such a great appeal in Maple City, the answer is self-evident.
"You go home and rest first, I still have some things that I haven't done, I'll go back later." Qiao Yichen gently stroked my stomach, "I'll let Zhen Yu send you back." ”
"No...... Zhen Tezhu is estimated to be busy to death...... You are really good at picking people......" I rolled my eyes, "Wang Kai is waiting for me downstairs, I'll go back by myself." ”
"Hmm." Qiao Yichen nodded, "Obedient, don't run around." ”
"I know." I packed up the food box I had just brought with me, "If it's late, you can rest here, don't drive tired, I can take care of myself." ”
"Good job." Qiao Yichen kissed my forehead, "It's good to be busy for a while." ”
I guess Qiao Yichen has been busy for a while, and it will be my turn to be busy. As long as Rong Zhentang doesn't stop, no one wants to stop.
I went home, took a shower, and then snuggled up under the covers and browsed the web. Qiao Yichen will really report good news and not bad news, Yingjia's stock price has fallen sharply today, if it is not to catch up with the close, it is estimated that it will be able to fall to the limit. It stands to reason that there is no news report in the media, and the stock should not fall like this. The news from Wang Sheng's side is good, Rong Zhentang is going to make a big move. Since Rong Zhentang can say that investors are against the water, it is estimated that Qiao Yichen will not be able to get a loan from the bank.
I threw the IAD aside, what can I do? If it doesn't work, I will take a loan from the bank for the project in the Chengnan Development Zone, anyway, my project has just started, and I don't need too much money. Even if the funds are not enough, you can still get it from the Li headquarters. In any case, Rong Zhentang can't just collapse the Cuihu project.
I got ready to go to bed early in the morning, but I fell asleep late because I was thinking too much. When I woke up from a nightmare, I reached for my phone and looked at it, it was just six o'clock. I patted my chest, soothing my pounding heart. Although I was awakened, I don't remember what I dreamed after waking up, but the feeling of fear lingered in reality.
I poured myself a cup of hot water, drank most of it to get better, and went to the bathroom to wash up. It's too early, and there's no one in the kitchen. I opened the fridge and looked at the ingredients, thinking about what to cook for breakfast. I took tomatoes and eggs and planned to make tomato egg noodles to eat. I had just finished the sauce for the noodles and put it in a large bowl when I heard the door open and close softly. I wiped my hands and walked out of the kitchen. Qiao Yichen lightly changed his slippers, and then took off his coat and hung it on the hanger.
Qiao Yichen turned around and saw me, I was still wearing a Doraemon apron. He walked up to me with a frown: "Why did you get up so early today?" ”
"I woke up and couldn't sleep." Qiao Yichen shouldn't have rested well yesterday, except for the appearance of returning in the morning, his face couldn't hide his tiredness, "Go wash your hands, it's time to eat." ”
"Hmm." Qiao Yichen walked into the bedroom, and after a while, there was a crackling sound of water in the bathroom, and it was estimated that he was taking a bath.
I cut a plate of shredded cucumbers before I started cooking the noodles. turned off the heat, filled a large bowl for Qiao Yichen, and filled a small bowl for himself.
"I'll serve it, be careful of the burn." Qiao Yichen helped me put the noodles on the table, and I followed out with the plate of shredded cucumbers.
"Done?" I asked casually as I picked up the noodles in the bowl.
"Almost." Qiao Yichen kissed me on the cheek, "I can handle it, don't worry." ”
"If you need my help, you must tell me." I know that someone as proud as Qiao Yichen may not easily open up to others. But we've long since separated from each other, and I hope that I am different from others in his heart.
"You're really going to have to do me a favor." Qiao Yichen ate noodles, "There is a shareholders' meeting at ten o'clock, you also have to attend, remember to stand with me when voting." ”
"Poof." I was amused by Qiao Yichen, who else could I stand with if I didn't stand with him.
"What are you laughing at?" Qiao Yichen looked at me for a moment.
"I don't seem stupid, I can't tell who I'm standing with?"
"Don't you think it's easier for stupid people to admit death?" Qiao Yichen raised his eyebrows, I couldn't refute what he said.
It was still early after eating, so I asked Qiao Yichen to sleep for a while, and he wanted to go for a walk with me. I couldn't resist him, so I had to go for a walk in the street park together. There weren't many people in the park at this time, so I walked along the boulevard in the outermost part of the park as usual. It took more than forty minutes to go around the park, and it was exactly one hour to walk back again. When we walked to the entrance of the park, we saw an old woman in ragged clothes rummaging through the garbage bin for bottles and miscellaneous items. At this time, a young couple passed by her, and the husband carefully held his wife, who was five or six months pregnant, with her belly upright.
As if she had seen a ghost, the old woman suddenly held her head with both hands and shrank beside the trash can: "Don't come to me...... Not me...... I didn't kill you...... It's you...... I'm going to die......"
Her strange behavior frightened the expectant mother a lot, and the man hurriedly protected his wife and scolded him for 'neurosis', probably for fear of being attacked by a madman, so he hurried to leave. When the woman saw that the pregnant woman was walking away, she panicked and dragged the broken bag containing the miscellaneous items, and ran in the opposite direction, shouting, "I didn't hurt you...... Don't come to me......"
The woman had gone mad and out of shape, but I could hear her accent - she was Wong Chi Tat's mother. I don't want to think about how much this once rude and domineering woman has done to Yexin to be so afraid of a pregnant woman in a state of madness. It was she and her son who used heinous means to force a simple and kind girl to death. If Huang Zhida had not appeared in Yexin's world, Yexin would not have trapped himself in a marriage as terrifying as hell and couldn't get out, nor would he have hurried through his life without love.
Qiao Yichen probably knew what I was looking at, he just tightened the arm around my waist: "Let's go, we should go back." ”
I didn't say anything, and let Qiao Yichen take me back slowly. A flashy life, a season of forgetfulness. I haven't been to see Yexin for a long time, not because I don't want to. Every time I see that cold tombstone, the fact that Nightheart has left smashes like a hammer on my heart. I'd rather believe that she didn't turn into a handful of powder and be buried in the dark ground, but lived a good life in a place I couldn't see. Maybe she met a man who was as gentle as jade and could give her the family she longed for the most.
Although my mood fell to the bottom, I still remember going to Yingjia to attend the shareholders' meeting. I found the right suit from the wardrobe first, and then matched it with shoes and bags. Change your clothes and curl your hair up again to make yourself look more energetic.
Qiao Yichen suddenly hugged me from behind and took me into his arms: "Don't think about it anymore, you still have me." ”
It's such a sentence that makes my suppressed emotions collapse. I can endure the pain that others can't bear, and I can also bear the loneliness that others are afraid of; Even in times of despair, you can still smile and say it's okay. But I really fantasize that when I complain about God's injustice, someone will say to me – you and me.
I hugged Qiao Yichen's waist, buried my face in Qiao Yichen's chest and cried fiercely. Qiao Yichen gently patted my back, and when my crying gradually subsided, he held my face with both hands and kissed my teardrop eyes: "Good, don't cry, the baby is scared by you." ”
"Hmm." I replied vaguely, and Qiao Yichen took my hand and walked into the bathroom and wiped my face with a hot towel.
"If you cry again, the baby will laugh at you, mom is a crybaby." Qiao Yichen found a bottle of skin care lotion from the shelf, squeezed a little and applied it to my face, "Is the sound insulation in this room good?" People don't think I'm making you cry? ”
"It was you......" I sniffed.
My emotional loss of control was actually not all because of the night heart, and I suddenly met Huang Zhida's mother. Yesterday in Qiao Yichen's office, my heart had begun to grow heavy, like the silence and depression before the approaching storm. I knew that this fight was going to get off to a great start, but I still wanted to dodge, I wanted to escape.
I'll admit, I'm cowardly.
