Purebred Hanoverian horses, tall and godfed, maroon fur like satin, sparkling in the sunset.

The jockey trotted in circles around the field, his hooves raising the sand and smashing the sun.

The setting sun fell on him through the glass, plating his whole person with a layer of golden fur.

He stared at the horses running in the middle of the field, as if thoughtful.

"Mr. Yi."

He turned his face, and for a moment he didn't seem to come back to his senses, and looked at the young man in front of him in a trance.

"Hello."

He shook hands with him, he had never been so close to him face to face, and there was a sudden sense of familiarity, as if they had met before.

Yes, he had seen him for a long time, and for so many years, he always paid special attention to everything about him, whether it was television news or newspaper and magazine interviews.

Yi Zhen's smile seemed to be gentle, and his voice was very calm: "I haven't had a chance to thank you, thank you for saving me on the court that day." ”

He replied, "That's as it should be." ”

Even if it is purely moral, strangers should lend a hand.

What's more, he has worked hard for nearly ten years, just to have a one-day showdown, how can he be allowed to go without a fight?

Two cups of mineral water on the table, countless carbonated bubbles slowly rise along the wall of the transparent cup, one by one small crystal clear, like the tip of a needle, densely, piled up to the cup surface, silently cracked, but one after another, one after another slowly rising, rising......

Yi Zhen's voice was not slow: "Mr. Zhao presided over the acquisition of 'JA' last year, and his brilliant record was eye-catching, which really added great glory to the Chinese business community. ”

"Mr. Yi, please speak directly."

Yi Zhen smiled faintly: "Mr. Zhao loves Minghua now, but unfortunately this is my life's work, and I can't give it up." If you insist on going your own way, I will have to accompany you to the end. ”

Zhao Zicheng's heart sank, sank.

He didn't know how he did it, he didn't know where he saw the flaws, he had never met such an opponent, and it seemed that this war would be a hundred times more difficult than he imagined.

He replied neither humbly nor arrogantly: "Minghua is a listed company, and all legal financial actions are just market behaviors. ”

Yi Zhen began to squint slightly, he was a narrow single eyelid, his eyes were deep, staring at him, and his voice was so soft that it seemed to sigh: "It's a pity." ”

The setting sun shone on Zhao Zicheng's face, the light was filtered through the glass, and there was still a slight burning sensation, and the neighing of horses in the field was faint, as if it came from a long distance.

It stands to reason that at this point, there is no need to talk anymore.

But Yi Zhen turned his face and asked him, "Are you riding a horse?" ”

It didn't look like an invitation, it didn't look like a discussion, and for no reason, he nodded and agreed.

It was quiet in the stables, except for the horses, who pricked up their ears and stared at them from behind the fences.

He took him to see the Orlov horse, of extremely pure blood, with brown hair all over his body, and only a white star on his forehead. Yi Zhiwei fed the horse candy, and the horse bowed to his palm, and the tongue was gone.

He patted the horse's forehead, and his face unconsciously showed a gentle look: "There are still two horses in England, and occasionally I am interested in riding them, and I think about the plane for more than ten hours, and I am lazy." ”

He handed a large amount of sugar cubes to Zhao Zicheng and said, "You try." ”

The horse's soft, rough tongue licked the palm of the hand, a strange touch.

He felt that he was also the piece of candy, and that he was going to be entangled in pieces of flesh and bones after only one roll.

But if you hold it in the palm of your hand for a long time, it will dissolve silently.

When the horse had finished eating the candy, he became affectionate with him, and bent down his long neck, sniffing him from time to time.

The palm of the hand is still wet, and I don't feel dirty or tired, but I feel like something more, and even the air is thickened.

They each went out to the racecourse, one after the other, and got on the horses one after the other.

The two horses galloped neatly at small brisk, gentle and regular vibrations.

His horse gradually ran faster, and after most of the circle, he chased after Yi Zhen.

From behind, he seemed to be far away on a single ride.

The sky farther away is a boundless peacock blue, so pure and dignified.

It seems that the huge glass bowl without friends is buckled upside down, and through the thick and heavy glass, the color of the sky can be seen straight down, and the bottom of the lake is almost black and dark blue.

And he stood there, and the color of the sky gradually dissolved, and the figures of the horse and the man dissolved into the glazed sky.

Zhao Zicheng drove back to the company, and the color of the sky became deeper and deeper, and the dark blue turned into deep purple, and the dark purple accumulated into purple gray.

At last the night gradually fell, and the dark night was illuminated by the gradually brightened lamps on a thin and transparent background, and went up, and went up, and the thinner and more transparent, revealed a vague and large star, like a nail, nailed to the night sky.

He remembered the butterfly specimen on the black velvet base, which was also such a deep nail, nailed to the heart of the butterfly, and spread its beautiful wings forever.

He didn't expect that there were still people in the company, it had already passed the end of work, and the door of the office was hidden, revealing half of the snowy light, as if it was moonlight, but the moonlight would not be so bright.

He stepped into the light and gently pushed the door open.

It turned out to be Fang Zhihui, with a table displayed on the laptop screen, and she pinched a sandwich, nibbling and watching it.

As if choking, he swallowed a large mouthful of coffee in a hurry, and when he looked up, he suddenly saw him.

There was still a little bit of cheese on the corner of her mouth, which was slightly raised, like a stubborn child.

He was fascinated, and stretched out his fingers to wipe off the milky white for her, but for some reason he slid down, slid to her pointed chin, and lifted her face.

The kiss was so eager and deep.

She clung to him, and he almost tied her into his body, and the banks of reason could not resist the frenzy of emotion.

She has a distinctively cool scent, mixed with the aroma of coffee and food, and her back is pressed against the edge of the hard desk, and there is no way to retreat.

They all have no way to retreat, only desperately entangled, unwilling to let go, unable to let go.

With a "bang", the coffee was pushed to the ground, splashing a lot of brown, which was shocking.

He still hugged her tightly, and the two of them looked at the broken porcelain pieces on the ground at a loss.

The new, snow-white fragments reflected a cold light under the lamp.

She finally said, "I'll clean up." ”

His heart fluttered, and he whispered in her ear, "Whatever." ”

What about it, what about it, what about it......

If God is already predestined, then whatever.

Before that, the only wanton thing he did in his life was to graduate from high school and go to MIT.

The eldest sister hopes that he will make a solemn choice, and he himself knows that if he goes to Harvard's business school, he is afraid that everything in the future will only get twice the result with half the effort.

But he didn't want to, so the only time he indulged himself, went to the university he selfishly longed for, and studied in an irrelevant department.

I know that it may be the last time.

Because at that time, he already knew deeply that his life was already like that butterfly, nailed to the black velvet bottom, sad and gorgeous, but unable to move.

The invisible silver needle had penetrated his entire life.

The meaning of his life has long been predestined, and he can't afford to struggle.

The next day, he went to the hospital to see the eldest sister, but he didn't expect the third sister to come too.

It is rare for their sisters to meet, mostly because of Xu Chenrui.

Zhao Xinran bought fruits and bird's nests, as well as a large bouquet of flowers, and said with a smile: "The eldest sister looks much better." ”

Seeing Zhao Zicheng, he said softly "ah" and said, "Bad boy, it seems that he has grown taller again." ”

Although she was at odds with her eldest sister, she liked Zhao Zicheng since she was a child, treated him as a child, stood on tiptoe and put her arms around his shoulders, and said with a smile, "While no one has robbed me yet, hurry up and hug him." ”

"The third sister is getting younger and more beautiful."

Zhao Xinran pursed his lips and smiled: "Poor mouth." ”

looked at him carefully, "Why does it look like you're thin, the longer you get, the more you look like the fourth brother." No wonder people say......"

When she said this, she suddenly said "ahh ”

Zhao Zicheng said curiously: "Fourth brother wants you to send him a book?" Where does the sun rise? ”

Zhao Xinran patted him on the back: "It's not up or down, he's your fourth brother in the end." ”

After all, he still smiled and told him, "Where will he read any serious books, and ask me to send him the Hong Kong version of the comics, such a big person, still so childish." ”

The eldest sister asked: "Is Yuanyuan okay in Australia?" ”

Zhao Xinran said: "How bad can he be when he has such a temper." ”

Zhao Zicheng said: "The fourth brother is happy to know his fate and is a person who will enjoy happiness. ”

Zhao Xinran looked at him: "Bad boy, why is he suddenly old-fashioned and worried?" ”

He said perfunctorily: "Things are not going well. ”

The acquisition situation was worse than he thought, although he had expected it, but he didn't expect Yi Zhen's counterattack to be so rapid.

It's almost overwhelming, breathless.

After the first official signing, the market reacted violently, and Minghua immediately announced an anti-takeover.

Yi Zhen made a fast, ruthless and accurate move, announcing a short-term allotment in response to the acquisition, intending to use a huge amount of money to repel him and make a quick decision.

In the past two days, the circulating stock price has been pulled to an extremely high level, and many small shareholders are still hesitating on the sidelines.

The shares that have been acquired only account for about 5% of Minghua's shares, Minghua has strong capital, of course, he can't meet the enemy head-on, he can only use his strength to fight, four or two thousand pounds.

Fong reminded him: "We are too risky at the moment, just afraid of accidents. ”

He didn't know it, but he could only hope for it in one go.

He and Xu Chenrui did not see each other again.

But through the phone, Xu Chenrui's attitude was still optimistic: "The cash purchase price is very close to the psychological price, and it is difficult for Yi Zhen to hold the 42 yuan level." ”

Having said that, the whole competition has almost become white-hot, the two sides are deadlocked, and the financial and economic circles have already caused a sensation.

Magazines published headlines and long reports that dug up the "JA" takeover last year, revealing that he was the youngest billionaire, and he instantly became famous and hyped.

The financial channel invited him to do an interview, and occasionally took a photo of him outside the clubhouse, which immediately appeared on the front page of the tidbits page, calling him "the most valuable golden bachelor." ”
