Chapter 279: "Old Friend"

Xu Chenrui looked at him with a deep groan, and suddenly asked an irrelevant word: "Mr. Zhao, have I seen you before?" ”

"We had a conversation that morning on the golf course," he says. ”

Xu Chenrui shook his head: "No, I always feel that your tone and demeanor are like a person - but I can't remember who you are like." ”

He smiled and said, "I am Zhao Xinran's younger brother. ”

He let out a "heh", the expression on his face was intricate, and for a moment he couldn't tell what he was thinking, as if he remembered many things, and as if he didn't think about anything.

After a while, he said, "I see." ”

He immediately smiled, "I didn't expect Xin Ran to have such a young brother, you are more than ten years younger than her." ”

He is the same mother as the third sister, so he is fourteen years younger than the third sister.

He was much younger than his eldest sister, almost thirty years younger.

He is not actually related to the eldest sister, his mother is the eldest sister's stepmother, and his father is only the stepmother of her stepmother.

It's really like a literary art, or more like an eight-o'clock TV series.

The relationships between the characters are intricate, the plot twists and turns, and the ups and downs.

But the eldest sister was very good to him, supported him to grow up, and regarded him as his own sibling.

His heart suddenly became irritable.

Lately, he's often wondered if it's like this, or if it's too stressful.

He has always had excellent self-control, and almost in an instant, he has already controlled his emotions.

I can't talk about it, because Xu Chenrui's offer is very high.

And Zhao Zicheng insisted on acquiring Minghua, but Xu Chenrui was not enthusiastic: "Although Minghua is currently facing a dilemma, Yi Zhen will never abandon Minghua, if he pushes it too hard, he may lose both." There is no benefit in fighting with him, so why take such a risk. ”

"After the successful acquisition, Minghua Group will be dismantled, all subsidiaries will be reorganized, and they will be auctioned separately. Since then, the Xu family has no opponent, why not Mr. Xu? ”

Xu Chenrui stared at him, and suddenly said, "What if I don't agree?" ”

"Mr. Xu is a businessman, and his interests are current, why doesn't Mr. Xu agree?"

Xu Chenrui was silent for a moment, and finally laughed: "Yes, well said, why don't I agree?" ”

Bargaining was the most headache topic, and the stakes had to be negotiated a little bit, and finally an agreement was reached, and the two relaxed down.

Xu Chenrui is from a family and pays the most attention to the way of food.

So after chatting with him casually about a few dishes, Xu Chenrui suddenly asked, "Is your eldest sister okay?" ”

"Old problems, sometimes good and sometimes bad, I have been taking Chinese medicine."

Xu Chenrui sighed "hmm" and didn't make another sound.

On the dining table, there is a plate of crystal shrimp that does not move, a plain blue and white porcelain plate, a clear shrimp in the shape of a pineapple, hooked with a very thin glass thicket, as if it is an ornament made of crystal.

He stared at the dishes and said slowly, "Old friends always see one side and one side less, when will I go to see her." ”

He knew that the eldest sister didn't want to see the old man, and every time she came back, she was alone and never interacted with the old one.

"You're twenty-six, aren't you?"

Xu Chenrui has always been meticulous, and he must have sent someone to check his personal information a long time ago.

Not understanding why he was knowingly asking, he replied, "No, I'm twenty-five years old." ”

He sighed: "My son is a year younger than you, and all he knows is how to pick the color of a sports car and give his girlfriend a gift." ”

He replied: "Young people should enjoy life. ”

Xu Chenrui seemed to be more touched: "You are also young." ”

He was only afraid that when Xu Chenrui asked Fang Zhihui, he would not know how to answer, but fortunately he didn't.

The meal lasted almost three hours, and when it came out, it was already dark at night.

He went to the hospital to see his eldest sister, but he didn't expect that she was already asleep.

The ward was only lit by a small sleeping lamp in the corner, like a candlelight.

He quietly sat down in front of his eldest sister's bed, and she slept deeply, breathing evenly and steadily.

He thought about being a kid in Boston, and he encountered a constant snowstorm that was rare for many years.

At that time, they were in a very bad situation, and they relied on the eldest sister's meager salary to supplement the family.

In the middle of the night when the snow closed the door, he suddenly had a high fever, his mouth was full of blood blisters, and he didn't have half the strength in his body, lying on the bed in a daze, wrapped in a quilt, but his whole body was shaking.

The eldest sister hugged him and drove to the hospital, because the wind and snow were too strong, the traffic had already been paralyzed, and the old car stopped several times along the way, and finally could not start again, sliding into the deep snow on the side of the road.

Outside the car window, the storm roared, the snowflakes fell like a mat, and the sky and the earth were white.

There were no roads, no directions, no people, only snow falling endlessly.

The white rolled up all over the sky, and there was white snow everywhere, which could bury their little car in a moment.

He was confused in the high heat, and he only felt cold, so cold that his teeth rattled.

The eldest sister hugged him tightly and warmed him with her body heat.

It was getting colder and colder, and he was dazed, and all he could feel was cold water droplets on his cheeks.

The little one also thought to himself, is this going to die?

But the eldest sister hugged herself so tightly, so tightly.

Her whole body was trembling, and she just silently shed strings of tears.

He seemed to hear her gnash her teeth in despair, like the last curse of the trapped beast: "You bastard, do you think I'm going to die?" We will all live well. I must live, live well. ”

He kept wondering if he really heard what she said on that snowy night, maybe it was just his own imagination, because he was having a high fever.

But what sustained her to stay up until the last minute until they were rescued by 911?

That time, the eldest sister had severe frostbite on her hands and feet and almost had her leg amputated.

He also stayed in the hospital for a long time because of complications from pneumonia, and if it wasn't for medical insurance, I really didn't know what to do.

When I was a child, I don't know how I survived in such an embarrassing environment day after day.

As he grew up, he first worked in a fast-food restaurant after school, and later worked part-time, delivering food to a securities company every day.

He occasionally stands in front of the big screen and looks at the twists and turns of the candlesticks.

He has been extremely sensitive to numbers since he was a child, and after reading for a long time, he doesn't understand many places, so he goes home to ask his eldest sister and watches financial news every day when he eats.

At first she was surprised, not knowing what he was doing with these professional questions.

And the teenage child, listening to boring financial reports with relish, he makes notes in his notebook every day, which stock to buy virtually, at what price to buy, and then at what price, whenever the prediction is correct, he draws a red heart with a pencil next to it.

By the time she happened to see this note, he had been doing this virtual homework for half a year, and the dense red hearts on the notebook were shining, as if they could burn her vision.

She was not happy, her expression at that moment was even like sadness, he didn't know why she had such a look, and finally she opened an account in her own name and handed it over to him to operate.

In the past three years of high school, I have gradually gained more and more, and I have actually made a lot of achievements.

He thought that he had saved enough for college tuition, so he might as well stop there, but later he was admitted to the full scholarship.

That is, in the year of graduation, the eldest sister told him the story of Lin Zi for the first and only time.

Since then, Yi Zhen's name has become the most important challenge in this life, and it is always in my heart.

When he was in college, he studied aeronautical engineering, which is the most famous MIT student, and spent his days between the laboratory and the library.

The most brilliant achievement is not the completion of all credits in three years, but the success of predicting the movements of hedge funds and making a lot of money in international currencies.

It wasn't until I graduated from university that I used this as the basic start-up capital and devoted myself to investment management, but it took a few years to flourish and go smoothly.

He has never hated anyone, and Yi Zhen is an exception.

Because of the disillusioned expression on the eldest sister's face, it seemed that the whole world had left her.

So he made up his mind and never let him go.

He will definitely win him, he will definitely win him, and then find another world for the eldest sister.

He stared at the sleeping face of the eldest sister in the darkness.

As if she had sensed something, she suddenly woke up from her deep sleep and opened her eyes a little dazedly.

At the moment when she was still sleepy, she saw his tall and straight figure, muttering a few syllables, and his voice was indistinct.

He only heard the last two words, as if to say, "It's you?" ”

"It's me, big sister."

Naturally, he leaned over to take her hand, her fingertips cold and her wrists trembling slightly.

He couldn't help asking, "Sister, what's wrong with you?" ”

She had calmed down, and her voice was calm: "It's okay, just a dream." ”

Ask him, "Why are you here so late?" ”

"I want to come and see the eldest sister."

She asked softly, "What's wrong?" ”

"I don't know," he sighed, "I talked to Xu Chenrui very smoothly today, it was so smooth, I was a little worried." ”

"Xu Chenrui is a scheming and cunning person, it's good to keep an eye on him."

He took a deep breath: "Yi Zhen is still in the hospital, but he has always been sensitive, and I don't know if I can hide it from him for a few days." ”

"What about Yi Zhenfei?"

"If he is not really mediocre in talent, he has been pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger, compared to Yi Zhen, he is simply lackluster."

He stretched out his hand to cover his mouth and crumpled a yawn into invisibility, "Fortunately, the two traders on the company's side, Miss Fang and Mr. Chen, are very capable, which saves me a lot of heart." ”

She looked at him lovingly: "Let's talk about business tomorrow, seeing that you are so sleepy that you can't even open your eyes, go back and rest first." ”

He deliberately resented: "Eldest sister, are you laughing at my small eyes again? ”

Sometimes in front of her, he is so childish.

In fact, his eyes are not small, he is a narrow and long single eyelid, the tail of the eye is slightly upturned, it is the so-called peach blossom eyes, and it seems to contain a smile without smiling.

The acquisition went very smoothly, Minghua's share price was falling to the bottom, just being taken advantage of the dip, and the negotiations with minority shareholders were relatively smooth.

Fang Zhihui acted prudently, and at this time, she joined forces with another colleague to make a market, and she was even more silent, almost showing half a trace.

Zhao Zicheng is very calm, and at the moment of the war, his whole person seems even more relaxed.

They often work overtime together recently, and the whole team goes to dinner after work, all of them are young people, although he is the boss, but after a few rounds, they understand each other, and they all treat him as their own.

Keeping an eye on the stock market is a very dull job, He Yanzhi said: "Fortunately, Zhihui is here." ”。
