Chapter 277: "Planned"
Once the acquisition was decided, everything was planned.
He was drinking coffee and looking at the screen in the office, and Fang Zhihui knocked on the door and came in.
She has been seconded to serve as his special assistant in Shanghai, and is actually responsible for Minghua's case.
She gave him a large stack of information, as if she said casually: "If you want to buy Minghua, now is the best time." ”
Because Minghua is not a one-way street.
Just a few days after Yi Zhen was admitted to the hospital, Minghua's Mingzhong Electronics plant in Pudong Zhangjiang Science and Technology Park suddenly caught fire, causing serious damage.
Seven workers were killed in the fire, which became a tragic news event that shook the city and even the whole country.
Large and small media naturally rushed up, and reporters from all walks of life tried their best to keep an eye on the track, only to find that Mingzhong Electronics Company had changed the design of the plant without authorization and blocked the fire escape.
After the fire, the operators had no way to escape, which led to a tragedy of seven deaths and more than 20 injuries.
Naturally, this incident suddenly became the biggest scandal in the industry.
Public sentiment has also been infuriated to the extreme, with legal battles between professionals ranging from labor rights to safety regulations.
The vice president of Mingzhong Electronics and the manager in charge of the construction of the factory were imprisoned, and Minghua was affected by this scandal, and the already weak stock price fell further and further.
He looked at her with some surprise.
She wears the black suit that is most common for executive women today.
A modest style, the neckline reveals a black pearl necklace, the beads are not large, but the pure black pearl glows with a strange rainbow color, which changes with the rotation of the pearl, and her white jade-like face shines brightly.
Many women are happy to be like diamonds, precious and gorgeous, and sharp.
But her whole person reminded him of the black South Sea pearls of Tahiti, round and noble, pure and beautiful.
In fact, she was born extremely white, and she looked very good in black, and her skin looked white and greasy.
He asked, "Why don't you guess I'm only going to snipe?" ”
In front of the boss, she should pretend to be confused at the right time, she replied: "It's just intuition." ”
His tone was suddenly relaxed: "Your intuition is wrong. What do I want Minghua to do, I get tired when I think about it. ”
It seems to be a sigh, but in fact, it is from the heart.
Even he didn't understand how he could say such a thing to her abruptly, as if he was talking in a shallow way.
But that's what she has to offer.
In front of her, unconsciously relaxed.
This was not right, and he immediately became vigilant.
She didn't feel it, but also relaxed: "Well, if a traditional style like Minghua is really successful, he will definitely be forced to serve as the president, and from then on, every move will be watched by everyone, and it will be worse than imprisonment." ”
The first time he heard someone describe being in power as "miserable than going to prison", he finally couldn't help laughing.
He finally asked her, "Miss Fang, can I invite you to dinner?" ”
She knew she shouldn't have said yes.
A boss is a boss, even though he's an easy-going boss.
But on the other hand, she seemed to be enchanted, dull and clumsy, always forgetting all kinds of workplace taboos, either telling the truth in front of him, or agreeing to requests that should not be agreed.
Unexpectedly, he took her to eat official food.
It's not a trendy restaurant, it's a quaint setting.
She didn't expect there to be such a place in the city.
Just like the old private residence, the courtyard of the triple entrance is deep, the rockery pavilion, the heavy bamboo curtain separates the murmuring of the water, and there are people holding the pipa and singing in the depths of the heavy curtain, the words are graceful and tactful, she doesn't understand much, but she knows that it is singing Cantonese opera.
There aren't many diners, but the dishes are top-notch, with even the cheesiest shark fin rice being excellent.
She has eaten Cantonese food countless times, and for the first time, she has discovered that shark fin can be made so deliciously and mellowly.
He smiled and said to her, "There are quite three flavors of Tan's cuisine here." ”
She looked a little frustrated: "It turns out that there is such a place in Shanghai, I am a local, but I want you to bring it." ”
"I'm also a local, but I rarely get a chance to come back," he laughs. ”
There is incense sticks burning in the air, a very elegant and distant fragrance, the sound of water trickling outside, as if it is raining, the sound of the pipa rings again, and the people in the curtain are in the sound of rain.
After eating the last Gu bird's nest snow clams, she unconsciously relaxed and lazy, and sighed deeply: "People in the past will still live, and everything is a blessing." ”
Modern people want to get up and sleep five times, fame and fortune are current, who dares to enjoy happiness.
When he was thoughtful, he always subconsciously turned a plain ring on the ring finger of his right hand.
She looked at it for a long time before she recognized the bronze ring as MIT's graduation ring.
She couldn't help but say, "You really don't look like an MIT graduate." ”
He raised his eyebrows in surprise, for some reason, such a subtle movement always made her feel a little familiar, and she didn't know where she had seen it.
He asked, "How do you know my alma mater?" ”
She replied simply, "Your ring." ”
He understood, and smiled dumbly: "Why don't you think I'm not like it?" ”
She forgot to pretend to be confused in front of her boss, and replied truthfully: "You seem to be from Harvard, and you are too academic." ”
He retorted to her: "Harvard is not academic, they stink of copper." ”
She burst out laughing.
He also smiled: "Actually, I almost went to Harvard back then, and I had already obtained admission permits from both universities, but in the end I still picked MIT." ”
She was a little surprised: "Most people pick Harvard. ”
"My eldest sister also wanted me to choose Harvard."
She didn't expect him to mention his family in front of her, but he was relaxed, as if he was just a casual remark.
She suddenly felt a fever in her ears, and tried her best to pull her thoughts back on track.
So, "This restaurant has so few customers." ”
He said: "Gourmets only know, so there are few customers. ”
As he was talking, he suddenly saw a waitress in a dark blue silk cheongsam leading the guests into the corridor.
The first person was surrounded by the stars like the moon, which was particularly eye-catching, it was Xu Chenrui.
Her heart sank suddenly.
In fact, I haven't seen him for a long time, and the last time we met was in his office, and I only said a few words, and I always had to talk back.
Of course, he was so angry that the secretary Mrs. Li hurriedly came in to persuade him: "Miss Hui, say a word, Miss Hui, Miss Hui ......"
While pulling hard, he persuaded her to go out.
She raised her voice and retorted: "What Miss Hui, call me Miss." ”
Knowing that he could hear it in the door, there was a "bang" sound, and he heard that he had dropped something again, which was about a vase.
Mrs. Li has been Xu Chenrui's secretary for many years, and she still calls the Xu family old-school.
But she is not the Xu family.
When she was still seven or eight years old, Xu Chenrui's driver would pick her up from school every weekend, and it was inconvenient to call her, so she had to vaguely call her "Miss Hui".
Later, she was called, and almost everyone called her that.
Because Xu Chenrui still has a son and a daughter, she gritted her teeth and refused to admit it, and she was not surnamed Xu.
The Xu family didn't like her.
Because Xu Chenrui dotes on her too much, the more stubborn she is, the more willing he is to accommodate.
It's not necessarily guilty, but she's been extra nice to her since she was a child.
When you go abroad to talk about business, always remember to bring her gifts, a pink satin dress with pink patent leather shoes, a limited edition Barbie doll or a teddy......
The older you get, the more valuable the gifts you receive.
The college graduation ceremony was a BMW sports car, and she didn't even touch it, and the car keys were sent back to his office by courier.
During her internship, she refused to go to Xu's, but chose this investment company.
Later, he gradually made eyebrows, and refused to leave.
The business competition is not merciless at all.
Several times, the investment company under Xu's name was squeezed by her.
He was so angry: "What's the use of giving birth to you and raising you?" ”
She pushed back: "I wasn't raised by you." ”
This sentence probably really broke his heart, and he stopped sending people to meet her for a while.
It wasn't until she worked overtime all day and was hospitalized with stomach bleeding that he hurried to the hospital.
He spoke to the doctor in the hallway, his tone anxious and worried.
She slept on the hospital bed, heard it intermittently, and almost felt a little warmth in the ice in her heart for a moment.
But the peculiar smell of the hospital came up with a spill of disinfectant, oxygen tubes, distilled water......
reminded her of the time when her mother died, when there were many people in the emergency room, and the nanny took her to wait in the corridor.
The nanny held her hand tightly, and she looked at her in such a panic that she forgot to cry.
It may be raining or cloudy.
So in my vague memory, the hospital was always cold weather.
There was only a small light in the hallway, and the fog poured in through the window, and it was so wet and cold that people couldn't cry.
What she hates most is that he doesn't love his mother, he doesn't love her and hurts her like this.
She could never forget that she cowered outside the door and heard her mother's voice bitterly and sharply: "You don't love me at all." ”
There is no marriage with no reputation and no guarantee, and in the end there is no love, so what is left?
After all, my mother was desperate, so she cut her own artery in the bathroom.
She turned on the hose, and the water filled the entire bathtub, and it kept overflowing, spilling out from under the bathroom door, red blood, red water, red all over the ground......
Spread over the surface of her feet, over her whole person...... Blood-like red ...... everywhere
He killed his mother, so he will never forgive, never.
Xu Chenrui saw her, was stunned for a moment, and walked straight over.
Fang Zhihui bit the corner of her mouth and didn't say anything, but stood up.
Xu Chenrui glanced at her, but only shook hands with Zhao Zicheng, and the two of them exchanged pleasantries and said some scenes, coming and going, so hypocritical and polite.
In the end, he didn't speak to her, and there were probably outsiders present, or he was completely disappointed in her.
After eating, Zhao Zicheng sent her home, and only after getting in the car did he say, "I'm sorry." ”
She didn't expect him to apologize, but she was very surprised: "It's nothing. ”
He didn't really need to explain to her, she was just his subordinate.
But for some reason, he always felt sorry: "I didn't know I would meet Mr. Xu." ”
She believed what he said, and because she believed it, she only felt very uncomfortable in her heart, as if she was uneasy.
She then diverted: "Look, there is a moon." ”
He raised his head, the neon was shining, the street lamps were like pearls, and there was a moon between the jagged buildings like a forest, blurry and hazy, like a halo on the marble, not clear, but deep into the texture. Take a hundred plating, and read the latest chapter of "The Centripetal Direction of the Star: The Way Home, Claw Bookstore" for the first time.
