Busy days always pass very quickly, Gu Nianbin has been back from the United States for more than half a month, and the war situation with the Jiang family is still in a state of stalemate, although he did not lose, but the funds are dragged in and cannot be turned, and there is a gap in the funds of some operational projects, peeling them off layer by layer, not to mention making money, it is difficult to maintain the status quo.

Shao Baiqing walked to Gu Nianbin's office and threw a stack of lists on the table: "Look at it, it's all about money, my saliva is dry, people still don't do it, they used to be very good at talking, what is it to give some materials on credit, a group of villains who fell into the well!" ”

He lit a cigarette and took two puffs before sitting down on a chair.

Gu Nianbin picked up the stack of lists and looked at them carefully, but he was not as angry as Shao Baiqing, when he saw the last one, he sorted out the list on the table, put it aside, and said: "I took a look, it's impossible to pay in full, 30 percent is okay, just call them back according to this, see if they want this 30 percent, or don't want one?" ”

Shao Baiqing spat out a puff of green smoke, "That's the only way." When the company was running well, I didn't feel that now this one by one is like a chain reaction, all of them are coming to ask for money, as if our Gu family will collapse soon, at the beginning Baba begged us, now it looks at the form is not right, and it will immediately become another face, at least the morality is gone, and after the company's good luck, see how I deal with this group of snobs! ”

"Forget it, it's all for their own interests, it's understandable, shopping malls are like battlefields, you can't take a wrong step, they have a thin foundation, most of them rely on Gu's to live, if Gu's really collapses, the payment can't be recovered, and they are afraid that they will be finished."

Shao Baiqing flicked the cigarette ash, "There was no news from the United States that day?" Don't they dare? ”

"The Yankees are very good at never fighting a war that they are not sure of, although they have been eyeing Jiang's overseas subsidiaries for a long time, but they are not completely sure and dare not fire easily, and they also see the situation in the country, we are not Jiang's opponent in terms of strength."

"Are you going to just wait?" Shao Baiqing sighed: "It would be good if we could really cut off the Jiang family's North American line, and then Jiang Kaiwei would definitely have to call back the funds, and we could counterattack and unite with the Yankees to make the Jiang family suffer from the enemy." ”

Gu Nianbin said: "The plan is good, but the plan never changes quickly, so this matter must not be rushed." In addition, Jiang has sued us for breaking the contract, the court officially accepted it, the summons will arrive in a few days, and then you will be responsible for coordinating this matter, this kind of lawsuit usually lasts for at least half a year, but this time is different, the government will definitely start to interfere, and will not stop the project of the ecological park, Jiang has to advance money first, and at that time, Jiang Kaiwei's bullets will not be so sufficient. ”

"Time, it's all about time, but it's this time of waiting for people's hearts. Without money, many projects have to be stopped there, and the people below also complain. People are panicking, and it is rumored that the Gu family is no longer good, and it is not a way to go on like this. ”

Gu Nianbin pondered for a moment and said: "From this month onwards, the salaries of senior executives will be cut by 20 percent, and the salaries of employees will be reduced by 10 percent. Those who are willing to stay with the company to tide over the difficulties, as long as the company is operating well, there will be a big red envelope at the end of the year. ”

"I think this will do," Shao Baiqing said, "and I'll ask the personnel to send a notice after a while." He looked at Gu Nianbin carefully, and suddenly asked, "How long have you not seen Du Xiaoxian?" ”

"Two days and a month." Gu Nianbin couldn't see any expression on his face, "What do you want to say?" ”

Shao Baiqing laughed twice: "I thought you couldn't do without Du Xiaoxian for a day, but I didn't expect your performance to be good, can you really bear it?" ”

"There's no way, even if it's for her, you have to stabilize the company first, otherwise the old men on the board of directors, as well as my parents, how can they spare her? The Xia family wanted to trade with her, thinking that without Xia's help, I wouldn't be able to turn over," Gu Nianbin snorted: "I'm going to let them see how I turned over without relying on the Xia family." ”

"Okay, you just have to have faith." Shao Baiqing said: "I did a rough calculation, Jiang Kaiwei has collected about three percent of the chips during this time, and it is not a threat to us for the time being. ”

"Only three percent?" Gu Nianbin raised his eyebrows: "My estimate is five percent, is he deliberately intentional or am I overestimating his ability?" ”

Shao Baiqing suddenly laughed and said: "I used to think that Jiang Kaiwei was talking nonsense, and everything was on the surface, and he offended many people for this, and everyone said that he was arrogant, arrogant, and invincible, but now even Shen Li said that he was scheming and secretive, and he couldn't figure out what medicine he was selling in his gourd?" After so many years, he has hidden deep enough! ”

"He's scheming, and we're not vegetarians," Gu Nianbin said lightly: "Take a step at a time, let's see the move." ”

Shao Baiqing saw that his eyebrows were indifferent, and knew that he didn't want to talk anymore, maybe he mentioned Du Xiaoxian and touched his heart, so he picked up the stack of lists and left.

Gu Nianbin leaned back in his chair, pinched his eyebrows, and exhaled tiredly.

How could you not miss her? But what can you do? It's just a waste of sorrow. During the day, there are always endless chores to relieve the thoughts, but at night, the thoughts follow each other like a shadow, wherever she goes, there is her shadow, and a smile seems to be engraved in every corner of the room. He really had no choice, so he asked someone to install a sandbag in the side hall on the second floor, and when he thought of her, he punched the sandbag until he was exhausted, sweated, took a shower, and fell into bed, so that he could sleep until daylight.

It's not like this every night, sometimes he wakes up in the middle of the night, habitually touches the side, but it is empty, he suddenly sobers up, knows that she is gone, so he holds her pillow in his arms, and the pillow has her breath, a faint grass-like smell. Smell and sniff, and slowly fall asleep.

He knew where she was, knew that she would be back soon, and although she said she could go to him, he restrained himself from seeing her, and he was afraid, afraid that as soon as we met, he would forcibly bring her back and tell her how much he missed her.

But no, he knew no, and if he did that, he would be in vain. He could only try to control himself, save all the time, and do everything he could to make this battle end quickly, so that he could see her quickly and let her come back to himself.

Turn on the phone and there is no information. He clicked on it repeatedly, but it still didn't happen, and finally he was stunned.

When they first separated, she would text him, telling him that she was doing well, that she had learned to cook a dish, and that she could cook it for him in the future. He didn't reply, not a word. No need to reply, she should also know how much he misses her.

He stayed in the United States for a while, and gradually there were no text messages, he was busy lobbying the Yankees, and he ignored it for a while, but he didn't care, he couldn't get a word from her, he was very anxious. After coming back, he impulsively ran to her neighborhood several times, but he stopped at the intersection, sat in the car and pulled a few handfuls of hair, and finally controlled his feet.

I can't see it, I can't see it until the day of victory.

He flipped to the phone book, looked at the number in the first row, marked with a baby, and a photo of her in a small circle, whenever he thought about her, he could only open it here, silently looking at her, to comfort the pain of lovesickness.

But I miss her very much today, I really miss her, even if I listen to her voice, it is good, his fingers are pressed on the number in vain, his heart seems to be overturned, there is an indescribable emotion, as if he is nervous, he has not contacted for too long, he is a little scared, his fingers are lying there, and he can't fall for a long time.

He looked at Du Xiaoxian in the small circle, took a deep breath, and felt that his heartbeat was not so violent, so he resolutely pressed it as if he had made some major decision.

There were long beeps on the phone, each one with hope, as if he would be picked up at any moment, but after only three rings, he hung up at once.

I don't know why, I'm still scared, inexplicably scared, even my palms are sweaty, sticky, and I finally put the phone down.

Du Xiaoxian looked at the phone and didn't blink, why didn't it ring? It only rang three times, why did it stop? Did he make a mistake? Still is......

She said that he could come to her, but Gu Nianbin didn't come once, not coming doesn't mean he doesn't want her, it must be that the company's affairs are too tricky, and he can't get out. But he didn't reply to the message he sent, so he probably didn't pay attention to it. He still had her in his heart, so he made the wrong call to her number.

Separated for so long, this was his only indication, ringing three bells, and that's it.

If it's not a typo, she thought, what does that mean?

Du Xiaoxian's heart was in a mess, and he couldn't think clearly. She only knew that even if the bell kept ringing, she would not answer, and the decision was made after a painful experience, and there was no room for turnaround, and she did not regret it.

Gu Nianbin, who is like a god in her heart, can only be high and high-spirited forever, even if she has to go down to the eighteenth layer of hell from now on and suffer inhuman torture, she will not regret it.

In this life, she has gained too much, and no one will be happier than her, just for him to die, she is also happy.

Du Huayue walked over and shook his hand in front of her eyes: "Wake up, hey, wake up, don't do it, it's just a bell." ”

Du Xiaoxian put away her phone embarrassedly, and said angrily: "Why are you still at home, don't you go to work?" ”

"Am I getting in your way at home?" Du Huayue glanced at her angrily: "Xiaoxian, you can't do this, I bet that as long as Gu Nianbin comes to you, you will definitely go with him." ”

"No, I've made up my mind this time. Besides, I'......," she crossed her hands over her stomach, "and the plan was pretty much there." ”

"Don't mention your broken plan," as soon as he said this, Du Huayue was even more angry: "You didn't scare me to death, the third watch sneaked into my room in the middle of the night, so tell me in advance!" ”

Du Xiaoxian's face flushed, "Oh, don't mention it, you still mention it." ”

"Okay, I'll never mention it again," Du Huayue's tone softened: "When are you going to go to Gu Nianbin, I think it's better to go sooner rather than later, the weather is starting to warm up, so if you want to leave, it's too early to leave." ”

"Wait a little longer, Xia Xiaowan said that it would be safer to wait a little longer."

"Why do you listen to that woman for everything?" Du Huayue said angrily: "She is not a good person, she actually counted me in." ”

"I know I've wronged you," Du Xiaoxian said softly, "But I really can't do it, Brother A-Yue, except for you, no one can help me do this." ”

"Alright, stop, don't mention it later." Du Huayue stuffed the key into his bag: "I'm leaving, you cook by yourself, don't eat noodles all the time, it's not that there are no vegetables." ”

"Got it, you don't have to worry about me." Du Xiaoxian walked to the door to see him off. Seeing Du Huayue walking downstairs quickly, she closed the door, leaned on it reflexively, closed her eyes, and opened them for a long time, but a line of tears fell in confusion......
