The weather is hot day by day, and after entering the end of May, it is even more humid and unusual, and the season finally arrives in the middle of summer.

It was midnight (9 a.m.), the sun was blazing in the sky, and a carriage was quietly parked at an alley diagonally opposite the Shangjing Daily office. The coachman was napping under the square umbrella cover stretched out from the carriage, and Ye Mingcheng in the carriage stared at the door of the Shangjing Daily office through the gap in the bamboo curtain.

There are many people who come in and out through the corner gate, some are employees of Shangjing Daily, and some are subordinates of Zhang Zhai.

Ye Mingcheng stared for a while, his expression was calm, until he saw the figure of a tall young scholar coming out of the corner door, he raised his eyebrows, and then kept looking at the other party to board a carriage at the door, until the carriage drove and left, he turned around and woke up the coachman, "Go to the other side." ”

What he was waiting for was this Ji Qian's departure, otherwise it would be inconvenient to enter and act.

The shareholders of Shangjing Daily usually gather in the morning, Ji Qian will leave early and will not come back for a whole day, and the other five shareholders will also do their own things after noon, and they may not all be in the newspaper.

He came to pass the word to Zhang Zhong and the other five shareholders on behalf of the second master, and chose to go in at this time, the time was right.

The carriage crossed the road and came to the door of the Shangjing Daily, Ye Mingcheng got out of the car and handed a name card to Menzi, "Take it to your president, just say that we, President Jia of Yanjing Morning News, want to give your shareholders a chance." With that, he sat down in the foyer and shook the folding fan.

Menzi saw that Ye Mingcheng's words were very serious, and it involved the high-level management of this newspaper, so he didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly took three steps and two steps to go in and spread the name post.

Zhang Zhong, Lu Xing, Chen Wei, Qian Dongming, and Wang Jin were sitting around the circle under the big locust tree in the courtyard.

It was the height of summer, and even if there were one or two ice basins in the house, it was difficult to get hot.

The belongings of the Beijing Daily Office are impossible to fill the house with ice basins to cool off.

Therefore, at the regular shareholders' meeting in the past few days, they simply moved out of the meeting room and put it under the big locust tree.

It has been a month since last month's series of negative turmoil, and everyone originally hoped that the impact would soon be dissipated over time, but after this period of time, it was found that it was not as easy as imagined, and although the situation of Shangjing Daily improved slightly, it was still not optimistic.

In this case, it will take at least a few months to undo most of the impact.

If you want to make a profit, you don't know when.

These five shareholders can't afford to wait, and they can't afford to spend it.

Under such circumstances, everyone's minds became delicate, and they no longer had the excitement they had at the beginning of the journal, and even began to retreat.

"President, someone outside has posted a request to see you."

At this time, Menzi came in, presented the name card to Zhang Zhong, and then conveyed Ye Mingcheng's words word for word.

In the surprised looks of the other four shareholders and the buzzing discussion, Zhang Zhong set his eyes on the name post, and on it was the eight big characters of "Ye Mingcheng of Yanjing Morning News".

After a moment, Zhang Zhong withdrew his gaze and glanced at the other four shareholders, their eyes complicated.

After a little silence, Zhang Zhong opened his mouth and ordered, "Please invite this Ye Gongzi in." ”

Menzi went.

put the name post on a few cases, Zhang Zhong and the other four shareholders did not speak for a while, each turning their minds and waiting for Ye Mingcheng's arrival.

For Ye Mingcheng, they all know very well that the other party is the director of the External Relations Department of Yanjing Morning News and Jia Wei's confidant.

Now he suddenly came to the door, and it was obvious from that sentence that he was coming on behalf of Jia Wei, which made them couldn't help but be surprised.

In any case, Jia Wei is the president of the Yanjing Morning News, and their rivals are rivals.

On the one hand, this person planned the negative turmoil of the Shangjing Daily, and on the other hand, he actually sent someone to meet them, what kind of medicine was sold in the gourd?

What is the so-called opportunity?

After about half a tea cup, Menzi brought Ye Mingcheng in.

"Ye Gongzi, this is the president of our daily newspaper, President Zhang, this is Ye Gongzi who posted the post."

Menzi succinctly introduced, then turned and left.

"I've seen President Zhang, and I'm courteous."

"Don't dare, I heard that Ye Gongzi is the head of the External Relations Department of Yanjing Morning News, he is really young and promising."

With a polite sentence to each other, Zhang Zhong introduced Lu Xing, Chen Wei, Qian Dongming, and Wang Jin to Ye Mingcheng.

Then the two sides sat down.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I have come here to deliver a message to President Jia of our society." As soon as Ye Mingcheng sat down, he looked around at Zhang Zhong and the others, and said with a smile, "President Jia said that there will be a banquet at the Dongcheng Hu Ji Restaurant tonight, and the banquet will provide you with a good opportunity." President Jia also said, whether to go or not, but by you, but time must not be lost, the opportunity will not come again, I hope you don't miss it. ”

After saying these words, Ye Mingcheng stood up, "Okay, President Jia's words have been brought below, and there are other things to do below, so I won't stay long." He arched his hand to Zhang Zhong and the others who got up with him, and then waved his fan and left.

Zhang Zhong and the others looked at each other, and they didn't know whether to keep each other, in this stunned moment, the other party had passed through the moon gate, out of the courtyard, and had to return to their seats.

Recalling Ye Mingcheng's words, everyone's hearts were not calm.

Ye Mingcheng only mentioned the five of them, but did not mention Ji Qian, it was obvious that Ji Qian was not on the banquet list.

As rumored, Jia Wei and Ji Qian were at odds with each other.

But why did Jia Wei pull in their five shareholders?

Ye Mingcheng talked about opportunities twice, but there is no free lunch in the world, is this to make a deal with them?

What is the transaction?

Each had mixed thoughts, and their thoughts turned and turned.

Finally, Lu Xing was the first to ask, "You guys...... Are you going to the feast tonight? ”

"I'll go."

As soon as the words fell, Chen Wei said.

"I'm going to go too." Immediately afterwards, Wang Jin also nodded.

Lu Xing waved his big hand, "You two are not ambiguous, then I will go too." ”

"Then let's go." At this time, Qian Dongming looked at Zhang Zhong and said expressionlessly.

"Yes." Zhang Zhong smiled slightly bitterly, "Hengzhi is just a banquet, and he doesn't have to worry about it, he said his, let's listen to it, if ...... If you really can give us any good opportunities...... Let's also consider ......"

He and Qian Dongming used to be the most determined to start a business among several shareholders, but after experiencing a negative turmoil, the expected profit stage was forced to be postponed, which was really a little inexhaustible, and the original will had already been shaken.

In the face of a deal thrown by Jia Wei, they were really difficult to resist.
