Chapter 194: Chess Meets Opponents

Today is the weekend, and Xiushan at this time of year is the time when the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant, and the sea breeze is cool. The spring here lasts longer than in other places, and Xiushan still maintains a pleasant climate when the trees are already shady and the heat is getting stronger.

Du Zeming rushed to the company's project site in Xiushan this morning, and he needed to understand the completion of the work progress on the spot, as well as timely awareness of possible problems during the period.

As the summer vacation approaches, the first phase of the project will be officially opened to the public, and the work here is honestly not so worry-free. Therefore, the frequency of his travel to and from Xiushan during this period will be much higher.

Although he didn't ask for it before he came, Liu Anfei still followed him to Xiushan. She said that she hadn't been to Xiushan for a long time, and she didn't know how it was developing now, and she was also very curious about the situation on the Whitby Global Group, so after coming to Xiushan, she first separated from Du Zeming and went to the location of this competitor's real estate project.

Now in Xiushan, the development and construction of two comprehensive squares have been completed.

These two squares were naturally built by Du Zeming's Zelin Group and Whitby Global Group. Since the auction of land plots in the eastern and western districts of Xiushan, it has become a battleground for investors and developers to compete with each other.

At present, it seems that the two are equal and have advantages over each other, so the situation of competition in Xiushan has intensified. Although Du Zeming has experienced many vicissitudes and twists and turns in the past two years, he finally got back on his feet, and what he wanted to do most in his heart was to defeat that person.

A year and a half ago, when Du Liangde died, he also took away Du Zeming's status and power. Although Du Liangde did not expose Du Zeming's true gentleman to the public until his death, Hongming Group did not belong to Du Zeming in the end. Before Du Liangde died, he went to meet with Du Hongming, although their father and son did not resolve the conflict between each other at that time, but Du Liangde still transferred all the shares of Hongming Group held by him to Du Hongming.

For this reason, Du Hongming became the largest shareholder of Hongming Group, and truly became the largest boss of this group company named after him. After Du Liangde's death, Du Hongming went to Hongming Group to announce the news and declare his legal identity and power.

After learning this fact, Du Zeming once fell into depression and despair, and he knew that with his identity, he had completely lost the qualification to compete with Du Hongming.

Li Shujun is different, she relies on her influence in the Du family for many years, as well as the cronies she has painstakingly won over within the Hongming Group, which has created a great obstacle for Du Hongming to live in the Hongming Group.

In the deliberate game between the two parties, Du Hongming finally proposed a solution. That is, to divide Hongming Group into two, and agreed to remove the company's main real estate projects and subordinate affiliated companies, and hand them over to Du Zeming and Li Shujun after the split.

In exchange, Du Zeming and Li Shujun no longer have any contact with the Du family, and they can no longer use the power of the Du family to carry out any commercial activities, although this is not the outcome that Du Zeming wants, but it is already the greatest benefit that can be obtained.

Du Zeming even had some doubts about why Du Hongming would be so generous to give him the original development project in Xiushan, and he believed that Du Hongming had a sense of provocation, and the two were bound to continue the previous competition in Xiushan.

After coming out of Hongming Group, Du Zeming reorganized all the company's resources in his hands, which is the reason for the birth of Zelin Group. This is an emerging real estate group company, but it also inherits the fine tradition and business genes of Hongming Group for decades.

As a result, things have developed so far, and in Xiushan, it has become a competition between Whitby Global Group and Zelin Group.

The only thing that worries and fears Du Zeming is that Du Hongming can make public the fact that he is not the bloodline of the Du family at any time, and at that time, he may be ruined and deeply affected by the turmoil and pressure of public opinion.

Du Zeming believes that the reason why Du Hongming has not made a fuss about his life experience so far is just that he wants to use this matter as a handle and hold it firmly in his hands to contain himself, and if it were him, he would do the same.

After finishing the inspection work at hand, Liu Anfei's phone rang. Du Zeming said before that he would go to the competitor's territory to see the situation there.

On the phone, Liu Anfei briefly talked about the situation over there, and told Du Zeming to meet at the entrance of the art museum in the southwest of the square after arriving.

Du Zeming then set off, the clouds and wind were light along the way, even though it was almost summer, but the roads on both sides were still colorful, a scene full of spring. Du Zeming couldn't help lowering the window of the car, feeling the comfort of the spring breeze.

Inadvertently, a back suddenly flashed in his eyes.

Du Zeming's heart was shocked, and he suddenly felt that the back just now seemed to have some kind of connection with himself.

He slowed down suddenly, trying to take a closer look in the rearview mirror at the intersection he had just passed. It's a pity that because the speed of the car is too fast, he can't see Song Miao's clear picture at this time, he only knows that there is a woman walking on the sidewalk behind him. Du Zeming couldn't help but feel irritated by his reaction just now, because he hadn't done this kind of thing once or twice.

There have been many times before, when driving a car or visiting a shopping mall, I happened to see a familiar shadow, and I wanted to avoid it in a hurry, but also wanted to go forward to see what was going on.

This feeling cannot be described in words in detail, it is like always having a piece of heart in my heart, I can't explain it, but it is so real. It seems to be slowly devouring past memories, things that seem important to you but can't remember, sometimes you don't feel the change, but sometimes it becomes suddenly violent.

Du Zeming pulled over and slowly stopped, pressing his temples with both hands, and a sense of exhaustion immediately emerged. After resting in the car for a long time, he restarted the engine and headed for the museum. He knew what was going on in his mind for a moment, but he tried his best to restrain this absurd thought of himself, because he didn't want to admit that he was still missing someone in his heart.

When he came to the door of the art museum, after Du Zeming saw Liu Anfei, his whole mood calmed down.

For more than a year, Liu Anfei has been by his side, not only can he act as his right-hand man at work, but this woman is also very considerate and gentle in life.

What's even more rare is that Liu Anfei and Du Lin get along very well. Du Zeming can see that Liu Anfei treats Du Lin sincerely, which makes him feel particularly relieved and relieved.

It's just that a lot of gossip has started to spread into his ears recently, and those topics about himself and Liu Anfei have suddenly become more.

Indeed, many people will pay special attention to Du Zeming's marriage, although the time with Liu Anfei is not short, but Du Zeming has never mentioned the idea of marrying Liu Anfei, and he has never even planned for the future.

"There's a nice exhibition today, I'll go in with me and enjoy it first." Liu Anfei said after seeing Du Zeming.

Du Zeming is not so interested in art, because he does not have the leisure to pay attention to these elegant and atmospheric exhibitions. But Liu Anfei likes it very much, because she has always been a delicate woman who pursues spiritual enjoyment.

Du Zeming did not make sense of this proposal, and now he showed more tolerance and understanding of how to meet a woman's requirements than he used to be.

But maybe Liu Anfei is not because she is a special one, but in Du Zeming's heart, he subtly wants to make up for some of his past behaviors.

Although the scale of this exhibition is not very large, it attracts many people to enjoy it. The paintings displayed in it are all the works of some cutting-edge painters, and most of the themes have a certain correlation with Xiushan.

"This is organized by the Whitby Global Group, and they solicited these oil paintings with the theme of Xiushan from the public. Now it seems that this approach is very much in line with their usual style, and the response has been really good. Liu Anfei introduced these oil paintings with great interest.

Du Zeming casually browsed through the oil paintings and said: "Are they just thinking that they can do big things with a small amount of money, and hold an exhibition of paintings to make their square open enough popularity?" Du Hongming has always been such a petty family, and we are far better than them in this regard. ”

Liu Anfei smiled and said: "It can only be said that the two of you have very different personalities, and the ways and methods of doing things are also very different, so you can't understand his approach, and he won't agree with your approach." Sometimes, I don't know if the two of you are brothers or not. ”

There was a hint of embarrassment on Du Zeming's face, and he immediately wanted to change the topic, so he said: "Let's go over and take a look, there are a lot of people around in front of an oil painting there, I don't know what kind of work it looks like." ”

Du Zeming and Liu Anfei curiously walked towards the place where the crowd had gathered, an oil painting called "Sky Blue". According to the people next to me, this oil painting is the most valuable of all the works in this oil painting exhibition, because its creator is the famous oil painting master Cai Li.

The people who came to this exhibition were obviously connoisseurs, and they had a soft spot for this work and praised it again and again. And next to this oil painting, next to the work, is a work entitled "Island Rain".
