Fang Xiao (15)
Fang Xiao just lowered his head and bandaged the wound before saying, "Although it is a small injury, if it is inflamed, it will be troublesome, so it is better to pay attention to it." ”
She was half-squatting there, carefully pasting the last piece of tape, gently pressing it flat with her fingers, and then asking, "Does it hurt?" ”
He smiled: "I used to be alone in the slums, and I was injured many times, and no one ever asked me if it hurt. ”
She couldn't help but tilt his face slightly, he seemed to hesitate, and finally slowly reached out and stroked her face, his fingers were slightly cold, and after a while, he finally lowered his head and kissed her, his kiss was very light, as if he was afraid of alarming something.
Fang Xiao felt as if there was ice slowly melting, his body went soft, and he couldn't help but be held in his arms.
"Xiaoxiao......" he whispered in her ear in a hesitant, uncertain tone, "shall we have a baby?" ”
As if cold water was poured on her back, she pushed him away at once: "The agreement does not include this, you have no right to ask me to give birth to a child for you." ”
His body froze there, she only regretted it a little when she spoke, her tone was really bad, he had already squinted his eyes, and the corners of his mouth seemed to be sneering: "Fang Xiao, I know what the agreement is, don't worry, I will abide by the agreement." ”
Without waiting for her to say anything more, he stood up and slammed the door.
When I woke up the next morning, the weather was gray and gloomy.
The Meteorological Observatory has issued another typhoon warning, predicting that Typhoon Paul will pass in the evening.
In the car to work, Fang Xiao just flipped through the morning newspaper over and over again, because he didn't know what to say to Chu Mingrui.
Chu Mingrui coughed and said, "In three days, it will be the mid-term shareholders' meeting." ”
When Fang Xiao heard him say business, he put down the newspaper and said "um".
"I have made an appointment with a lawyer and am ready to sign for the transfer of equity, which are all B shares." Chu Mingrui said: "I think this shareholders' meeting can co-opt you as a director. ”
Fang Xiao asked, "How many?" ”
"About 20 million shares." He said, "It accounts for about 30% of the total shares of B shares. ”
Fang Xiao asked, "You bought it when Xu Jinheng died?" ”
Chu Mingrui said: "At that time, the price was the lowest. ”
Fang Xiao said: "Then you are one of the top major shareholders of Xu's affiliated enterprises, and you are not afraid of bankruptcy?" ”
Chu Mingrui smiled: "Mrs. Chu, I'm actually a little richer than you think, so even if Chang Xin goes out of business now, I won't go bankrupt." ”
She knew that he was rich, but she didn't know exactly how rich he was, because that was something she didn't care about, Chu Mingrui was only afraid that she liked her, and he said that she didn't covet it.
And she just doesn't care, she never cares about things that aren't hers.
She reopened the newspaper, and Chu Mingrui turned his face to look at the fleeting street scene outside the window, and only the faint hissing sound of the air conditioner was left in the car.
By noon, it was starting to rain.
The rain was neither heavy nor light, and it pounded on the window unhurriedly and slowly, making a rhythmic brushing sound.
Fang Xiao buried himself in business, occasionally glanced out the window, through the vague water marks, there were a few umbrella flowers like morning stars on Yangzhi Square, and the tall Yangzhi Building was also covered in a layer of faint gray water vapor, which seemed a little mysterious.
Fang Xiao would remember that the office he used to have in Yangzhi Building, the window was a floor-to-ceiling glass curtain, and when it rained, it was like the water curtain of Cuicui Coffee Shop, but it was just a little neon brilliance.
But at that time, I never paid attention to this.
Xiaoxian came in, gave her a large stack of signatures, and told her, "At noon today, Mr. Xu will invite you to dinner." ”
Fang Xiao asked, "Which Mr. Xu is it?" ”
"Mr. Xu Chenrui." Xiaoxian asked, "Do you want to push it off?" ”
Fang Xiao thought for a moment and said, "No need." ”
Xiaoxian said yes and went out, and when it was lunchtime, Fang Xiao went to the appointment, and Xu Chenrui entertained her in his own private restaurant.
At the beginning, the guest and the host exchanged a few polite words.
Xu Chenrui said: "Today is a completely private banquet, and Miss Fang doesn't have to be formal. ”
Fang Xiao smiled slightly.
Xu Chenrui raised his glass and said, "Please don't be polite." ”
Fang Xiao raised his glass perfunctorily.
Xu Chenrui introduced the dishes and said, "I heard that Miss Fang likes sweets very much, so the chef arranged a special dessert today. Miss Fang, are you currently the largest shareholder of the company's B shares? ”
Fang Xiao knew that Xu Chenrui was powerful, so as soon as he entered this restaurant, he was careful and attentive to every step.
At this moment, he seemed to say such a sentence casually, but he couldn't help but smile: "Mr. Xu, you can call me Mrs. Chu." ”
"Oh." Xu Chenrui said lightly, "I really can't change my mouth for a while." Mrs. Chu, the mid-term meeting is about to be held, I wonder what Mrs. Chu has planned? ”
"The entire Xu family owns more than 60% of A shares, and about 30% of B shares."
She avoided the important and retorted lightly, "Mr. Xu's control of the Xu family is as stable as Mount Tai, what else is there to worry about?" ”
"But we are very willing to buy back the B shares in Mrs. Chu's name. Because of my father's legacy, don't leave your ancestral business in the hands of others. Xu Chenrui said, "If Mrs. Chu is willing to give up, we will be grateful." ”
The corners of Fang Xiao's mouth bent upward, revealing a faint smile: "Mr. Xu, the shares in my hands are all obtained from the acquisition of individual shares at a very favorable price, and the one with the highest price will get it, Mr. Xu, this is the law of the market." ”
Xu Chenrui knew that Fang Xiao knew a lot about the Xu family, and it was very tricky.
Now every word was blocked by her without leaking, so she had to smile: "Xiaoxiao, you know my character." We don't talk darkly, now you have 30% of B shares, and Chu Mingrui has 30% of A shares, according to the internal rules of Xu's enterprise, A shares and B shares hold more than half, so that you can have the right to decide on major decisions of the enterprise. Although our family holds 60% of A shares and more than 30% of B shares, our family is currently splitting up. Wang Wanqing has 28% of A shares and 16% of B shares, and I am in the process of acquiring fractional shares. Xiaoxiao, I can say one thing, although the family is separated, I am still the head of the family, and I am the largest holder of the family's equity, I don't want to disagree with you at the year-end meeting and make any jokes to show the group of small shareholders. ”
Fang Xiao let out an "oh" and said, "Mingrui and I have the same opinion, why don't you discuss it directly with Mingrui?" ”
Xu Chenrui smiled and said, "If I can discuss with Mr. Chu, then I won't trouble you." ”
Fang Xiao deliberately made a sudden realization: "So you want me to persuade Mingrui?" ”
Xu Chenrui knew that she was pretending to be confused, but she was helpless, coughed, and said, "Mrs. Chu, let's talk to our asset management managing director." ”
Without her objection, Xu Shen's tall figure had already appeared at the door of the restaurant.
"The two of you talk slowly." Xu Chenrui explained a sentence and left the banquet hall.
"Xiaoxiao." Xu Shen sat down and said calmly, "You have always understood things very well, if Mr. Chu has a disagreement with us, it will not be good for the Xu family, us, and the virtuous couple." ”
Fang Xiao looked at him lightly: "My husband won't change his mind easily." ”
Xu Shen smiled bitterly: "Of course, because he has a deep hatred, although I don't understand why he hates his family so much, in terms of blood, he is also a member of the family after all, and his father was kind to him back then, but I didn't expect him to be so cold-blooded." Xiaoxiao, you don't have to be involved, I don't want to see a lose-lose situation, and I don't want you to be involved in it. ”
Fang Xiao couldn't help but smile: "Thank you for your love." Sir, do you need me to remind you who broke my family? ”
He neither refuted nor reciprocated such a cynicism, but just looked at her, and his confused look almost made her want to turn her head, but she didn't.
Finally, he lowered his gaze and said, "Are you guilty of my crimes?" ”
Fang Xiao still had a faint smile on his face.
Xu Shen knew that she couldn't be moved by anything when she showed this expression, so she said dejectedly: "Okay, in fact, there is nothing to say, you have already convicted me anyway, I can't argue, but I can swear by everything I cherish the most, I didn't do anything like that, I didn't kill Yiyi, I didn't." ”
A smile appeared on Fang Xiao's face: "Mr. Xu, rhetoric is useless, everything you cherish the most?" What is most dear to you, I don't know. ”
He looked at her, there was only a sad look in his eyes, she had never seen him like this, the life of the proud son of the sky, the beloved son of Xu Jinheng, for more than 20 years, his life has always been high-spirited, she has been with him for so many years, and she has never seen him have such a look.
His voice was low, and he finally said, "It's you." ”
She shook slightly.
"Believe it or not—" his voice was so low that he could barely hear it, "I value you the most. I didn't know before, but then I knew that it was too late, and there was no more chance, no matter what you thought, no matter what you did to me, whether you believed it or not, I didn't lie to you, it was really you. ”
Fang Xiao was speechless for a while, and he stood there, just looking at her.
She turned her face away with some self-deception and said, "Mr. Xu, I can't afford it, you can keep these words and coax others to go." ”
He seemed to be quiet, and there was a strange tranquility and calmness on his face: "Xiaoxiao, since this is already the case today, I will finish speaking." Believe it or not, I'd rather trade everything, for the past, for the past, for the past where nothing happened...... If you really can, I'd rather you never entered the work of Xu's family, I would rather never know you, I want you to live in this world safely and happily, even if I don't know you in my life, even if I never have the opportunity to see you in my life - I only want you to be safe and happy. Many people can't find the person they are looking for in their lives, and the confusion is over; I found it, but I'd rather never found you. ”
Fang Xiao didn't have any expression on his face, he smiled instead: "I know you won't believe it, you hate me - that's fine, I never expected you to love me, and now you hate me, it's okay." Although he had a smile on his face, his voice was full of endless sadness, and he slowly repeated the last sentence, "That's fine." ”
