Chapter 99: His Story and the Wine
"The accident happened to an uncle from a distant relative."
Shi Ning looked at Cheng Qingge's serious gaze and began to talk about his family's affairs.
He has worked hard with his father for most of his life, and he has always been like a family. Since the year before, he suddenly introduced his father to a high-ranking official he knew, and they began to have a close relationship. Later, I discussed with my father that I wanted to develop a limited-price commercial house. ”
When Shi Ning said this, he took another big sip of beer.
"I'm not afraid of you saying that the government and businessmen colluded, our family has been able to work so steadily in the mall for so many years, and it is also because we are very close to the officials. As you know, Han Jingyi, her father is an important local official in our area, and he is also my father's best friend for many years. ”
Hearing Han Jingyi's name, Cheng Qingge's heart suddenly "chuckled". Although Shi Ning just casually said something about Han Jingyi, Cheng Qingge had already heard the unusual relationship between the two families. It seems that the marriage between Han Jingyi and Shi Ning that Luo Wei told her at the beginning was also inseparable.
Cheng Qingge's mind resurfaced Han Jingyi's elegant figure and sweet smile.
She felt her heart involuntarily begin to get flustered.
She also quickly picked up her beer and took a big sip. Drinking the refreshing and sparkling beer will make you feel more comfortable.
"To tell you the truth, when the real government and business unite, the benefits do come more simply. And the benefits of the project that my uncle got at that time can be described simply and crudely. The greater the stakes, the easier it is to lose your mind. However, after so many years of dealing with officialdom, my father has begun to pay attention to it, and found that the relationship between my uncle and that official is mixed with too much instability, so he also has many concerns. Therefore, when it was finally decided to bid, he discussed with his uncle that he planned to re-register a new company to undertake the project in the name of the new company. Of course, the wool is out of the sheep, and most of the registered capital of the new company still comes from Yulong, and the company's backbone personnel are also intersecting. ”
"The problem, is it in this company?" When Cheng Qingge heard this, he interjected stupidly like listening to a story. Indeed, when it comes to business, Cheng Qingge's experience really can't say a word.
"The main problem is actually with the official. Things were going very smoothly, and our Yulong didn't do anything particularly out of the ordinary, the new company has all the bidding qualifications, but it is a new company. If you don't have a background, the odds of winning a bid are very limited. Because of the relationship with this official, the new company successfully won the project. ”
Shi Ning looked at Cheng Qingge, who was listening to Cheng Qingge with a serious face, and stopped again.
"Do you understand?"
Cheng Qingge nodded, although Cheng Qingge didn't know much about business, but she studied journalism recently, she did pay attention to many reports on the fall of officials.
With a woman's intuition, she suddenly asked again: "That high-ranking official, can't he be investigated?" ”
Shi Ning took another sip of beer, and Cheng Qingge nodded.
"That's right. The real estate had just been won, and before construction started, the official had a problem and was taken away for investigation. All related works handled are frozen. Although it happened suddenly, my father was able to deal with it calmly, after all, he had been prepared for it before, and he had always had concerns about this project. Yulong is such a big industry, and it will not collapse because of a certain investment. However, at this time, my uncle suddenly disappeared without a trace for fear of being implicated. disappeared with him, as well as a large sum of money from Yulong. ”
With such a sharp turn in the plot, Cheng Qingge was completely stupid. This plot is even more TV series than a TV series. It turns out that in real life, such a thing really happens. For Cheng Qingge, a shopping mall who has not yet been involved in the world, these are even more fantastical than the Arabian Nights.
"And just like that, suddenly disappeared? Can't find it? Is it the same as the one in the movie, fleeing abroad? And also...... So, Yulong is affected? ”
Seeing Cheng Qingge's surprised and worried face, and asked several questions one after another, Shi Ning leaned over and touched her head lovingly.
"Yulong must have been affected, but I didn't just say that the company's problems will always improve, it's just a matter of time. But my father was hit hard by the news that my uncle had disappeared with money, and he was admitted to the hospital at that time. But it's okay, it's not a big problem. At the time of the incident, it was the end of October last year. ”
Cheng Qingge suddenly remembered that at that time, Shi Ning had indeed disappeared from the campus for a while. In total, it should have been shortly after their choir won the prize; It seems that it was the time when Cheng Qingge finished interviewing Shi Ning and wrote the report on the drama that suddenly became popular; It seems that it was when Cheng Qingge mischievously gave his phone number to those little girls who admired him; And it was also when Cheng Qingge avoided him when he met him on the road.
Also, the most important thing is that Shi Ning experienced this incident at that time and returned to school, and it just happened that she missed the appointment and followed Wu Jiahao to the café, and directly bumped into Shi Ning, who had been waiting for more than an hour!
Cheng Qingge clearly remembered that that night, Shi Ning looked at Cheng Qingge with a sad face in the small north wind and said, "I can't take care of my own affairs." ”
God, now that I think about it, what did I do at that time?
Thinking of this, Cheng Qingge hurriedly said: "I, I didn't know anything at the time, yes, I'm sorry." Speaking of this, Cheng Qingge's voice suddenly became hoarse. She hurriedly picked up the beer in front of her again and took a big sip, but suddenly choked and coughed.
Shi Ning hurriedly took the tissue, wiped Cheng Qingge's mouth while helping her pat her back.
But Cheng Qingge didn't know where the courage came from, so he hugged him all of a sudden.
Shi Ning was still holding a tissue in his hand, and he was suddenly stunned.
"I'm sorry, I didn't know anything at the time. I'm sorry. ”
Cheng Qingge only felt that his mind was full of apologies.
Seeing her panicked and busy apologizing, Shi Ning suddenly laughed, and then he wrapped his arm around Cheng Qingge, bowed his head and said, "Okay, okay, what are you doing?" Of course I know, you don't know that. I don't blame you, I never blame you! I'll only blame myself. ”
After speaking, Shi Ning hugged Cheng Qingge tightly again.
This time the hug, Cheng Qingge obediently and obediently stuck to his arms like a kitten.
Cheng Qingge can't remember how many hugs it has been on this day? Together, these hugs today are more than they've ever hugged since they knew they were now.
Isn't it good to indulge like this?
Cheng Qingge remembers that she usually insists on it, and what she yearns for is a long-term love. The current situation is obviously not. But where could she refuse? It doesn't matter if it's been suppressed for a long time, or if it's hard work, anyway, this love that has been lingering in my heart for so long has finally pressed the confirmation button again and again in my heart through these hugs.
"So, what about later?"
Later...... "Shi Ning, after a long silence, I felt that he was holding my arm tighter." Naturally, it's fine. Otherwise, you wouldn't see me like this. ”
"Is it really okay? Isn't Yulong affected? How's my uncle's illness? ”
Cheng Qingge still asked stupidly.
Shi Ning let go of Cheng Qingge, looked at her with two eyes brightly, and then turned around and picked up the beer, and drank it so quickly, he raised his hand and drank it all.
After drinking, he continued to sit down and said, "Naturally, things will not simply pass. It's not just financial constraints, either. After that incident, Yulong will inevitably be investigated. Many of the company's business dealings have also been affected, and many projects that are being negotiated have suddenly been temporarily canceled by the partners, and they have been tossed for more than half a year. Fortunately, my father, his heart was still strong, and he recovered quickly. And his ability was not ordinarily strong, he decisively stopped all new business and ran the initially stable hotel and tourism company. Although the company's losses are still serious, it has survived the most difficult stage. Soon after, the investigation was also concluded. Because his father has always managed the entire company in a very regular manner, in the end, Yulong was found to have small loopholes, fines, rectification, and now it is gradually back on track. And as you just guessed, that uncle really fled abroad, and recently the police really found out about him and are preparing to extradite him back to China. That's good news. ”
Shi Ning was talking about this part of Yulong's recovery, which seemed to be very light. However, even Cheng Qingge, a little girl who is ignorant of the world, knows how difficult it must be to survive the most difficult stage of this so-called. This can also be seen from Shi Ning's tightly knit brows. Things were obviously not as easy as he said.
Cheng Qingge walked over and reached out to touch his eyebrows.
"It must be hard, I know."
Shi Ning suddenly grabbed her hand and looked into her eyes.
"Qingge ......" suddenly stopped talking.
He put down Cheng Qingge's hand again, picked up the beer that Cheng Qingge had drunk next to him, and actually drank it all again.
Cheng Qingge remembered the wound on his body and suddenly wanted to stop him, but it was too late.
Shi Ning casually threw the beer can into the trash can not far away, and then said, "Qingge, it's really not early, let's rest first." Tomorrow there is a wonderful holiday waiting for us. ”
Cheng Qingge looked at the time, and it was already past three o'clock in the morning in this chat.
"Hehe, yes, it's too late, otherwise the room next to it will really be wasted."
Shi Ning smiled again when he heard this, stretched out his hand to take Cheng Qingge over, and kissed her forehead lightly with his lips, "Rest well, don't think so much." I'll wake you up tomorrow. ”
Then he took his coat and walked out.
Cheng Qingge only felt that this kiss, whether it was the movements, expressions, or the stiffness of the two of them, suddenly became so natural. It's as if the two of them are already old husbands and wives. Cheng Qingge did not dodge, did not be shy, and seriously felt the warmth of that moment.
However, the moment Shi Ning walked out and closed the door, Cheng Qingge suddenly felt that something didn't seem right.
She hurriedly called Shi Ning.
Shi Ning turned to look at her and laughed mischievously: "What, are you reluctant to let me go?" ”
Cheng Qingge ignored his deliberate joke this time, but rushed over and reached out to touch Shi Ning's forehead.
Shi Ning took Cheng Qingge's hand back and put it on his face, still smiling provocatively.
But Cheng Qingge said anxiously: "Don't make trouble, Shi Ning, you seem to have a fever!" ”
