Chapter 152: Apartment Keys
The ticket was changed to a flight at 7 a.m., arriving at the airport at 6 a.m. and getting up at 5 a.m. [Ran^Text^Library] []. [774] [buy]. [com]
For two people who finished their "strenuous workout" last night, such an early rise was really a torture.
Lu Zhanyan's anger when she got up was obviously very big, because she had a sore back and had a sore back, and she couldn't get any better.
Once you are angry, you can't help but complain.
And the object of this complaint is naturally only one person.
"Qin Shijin!"
"Okay, Yan Yan, hurry up and get dressed." Qin Shijin had already gotten out of bed and was wearing a shirt on the side.
Lu Zhanyan was in pain, "Qin Shijin, you are too much!" ”
"Yes, I'm excessive."
"You are unreasonable!"
"Yes, I'm unreasonable!"
"You're mad!"
"......" Qin Shijin buttoned the last button and turned his head to look at her without a clue.
Lu Zhanyan was still sitting on the bed, his long hair was scattered, jet black and bright, and his snow-white shoulders were all traces he left last night, this look was too tempting. Qin Shijin approached her, pulled her up, pulled her into his arms, and coaxed with a smile, "Then let's not go back, continue to sleep here." ”
"How's that going to work? This morning, there is a board meeting ......" Lu Zhanyan pursed his lips and raised his fists to beat him.
Qin Shijin held her little fist and wrapped it in his palm, "Then what do you say you should do?" ”
Lu Zhanyan had no choice but to "hum" and pushed him away, "You go farther, I want to get dressed, I have to pack my luggage, what time is it?" ”
"Five twenty o'clock."
"It's so late, how can you be in time? If you can't catch the plane, it's over! Lu Zhanyan didn't dare to stay any longer, so he hurriedly got up and went back to his room with soreness.
Qin Shijin looked at her figure in a hurry and hooked the corners of his lips.
The two fish in the water bag on the desk are still swimming around.
※※※
Returning to Gangcheng from Hangzhou, he also brought back the cooperation project of Fuyuan Group, and at the board meeting on Monday, the veterans were directly speechless. Coupled with Xiao Mobai's rapid action, it has solved the problem of shortage of internal supervisors. And Qin Yihuai's sitting formation is even more like a tiger with wings.
It's just that the company has several previous investment projects, which have been temporarily stranded because the bank does not agree to lend money.
This has become the accusation of the patriarchs, and Hua Lao is unwilling to say, "Shijin, how to solve the loan funds of those cooperation projects?" ”
"Please give me another week." Qin Shijin still had an attitude of not being surprised, and put down this sentence.
He'd said that before, and it turned out that a week later he had won a huge collaboration. At this time, the directors didn't say anything more, and they all nodded in agreement.
Hua Lao snorted coldly, and there was no excuse to make things difficult anymore.
Lu Zhanyan immediately got up to send off several directors and elders, and there were a few of them left in the conference room.
"Nishiki, as for the bank, do you have a countermeasure?" Although Xiao Mobai asked, he was not worried.
Qin Yihuai sat on the left side and said unhurriedly, "Of course he has a countermeasure, and he has a countermeasure from the beginning." ”
Qin Shijin looked at Qin Yihuai and asked, "How is the Finance Department doing?" ”
"Everything is OK, no problem at all, don't think that only you can do it, since you leave it to me, you don't have to bother about it. You'd better think about your countermeasures, I'll go first. Qin Yihuai's words were sarcastic, obviously not planning to return the financial department to him, but to grasp it in his hands. As he spoke, he nodded at Xiao Mobai and left.
Qin Shijin didn't react too much, and Xiao Mobai still smiled.
But Lu Zhanyan on the side heard it in a fog.
What's going on?
Why did Qin Yihuai give her the feeling that it seemed to be very aimed at Qin Shijin?
"Let's go, let's talk to my office." Qin Shijin Road.
Xiao Mobai immediately got up and moved to the office with him.
Lu Zhanyan returned to her secretary's room, during which her assistant Xiao Meng came to submit the documents, and in the few days she left, Xiao Meng was dizzy again.
Xiao Meng just put down the document and suddenly said in surprise, "Secretary Lu, how can there be fish?" ”
Lu Zhanyan turned his head to look at the table, and the two fish in the water bag were fresh and tender. I came back in the morning in a hurry, and I didn't have time to go back to put my luggage, so I came to the company by air with two fish. She smiled and had no choice but to say, "Well, I brought it back by the way when I was on a business trip." ”
Xiao Meng obviously had some research on fish, and hurriedly said, "Secretary Lu, let's put it in the fish tank quickly, otherwise I'm afraid that it will die, and the fish will easily die of lack of oxygen." ”
"Fish tank?" Lu Zhanyan was stunned, where did she come from the fish tank at this time?
Xiao Meng said again, "There is a fish tank in Mr. Jin's office!" ”
Lu Zhanyan thought about it carefully, and then remembered that there seemed to be a fish tank in Qin Shijin's current office. However, she hadn't paid much attention to it before, so she didn't pay attention, "Where did this fish tank come from?" ”
"Oh, I got it later, and I raised a lot of fish before." Xiao Meng Dao.
It turned out to be Qin Duyun, and he was the only one!
Seeing Xiao Mobai leaving, Lu Zhanyan took two fish into the office, "Mr. Jin, can these two fish be kept in the fish tank in the office?" ”
"Didn't you say yes?" Qin Shijin glanced at her, and then at the two fish.
"I don't have a fish tank at home." Lu Zhanyan was a little annoyed.
Qin Shijin's gaze swept to the big fish tank on the side, and he said in a deep voice, "I don't know how to raise fish, I don't care if I die." ”
"I'll feed you." Lu Zhanyan immediately nodded and walked towards the fish tank. I saw the green aquatic plants floating, and the oxygen concentrator spitting water bubbles. She immediately tossed the two fish aside, and the two bright colors quickly merged into the small black fish, swimming happily.
"Secretary Lu."
"Yes."
"Contact the president of CTTI Bank to make an appointment to discuss."
Lu Zhanyan immediately went to make an appointment with CTTI Bank's bank, but the result was unsatisfactory, and the secretary of the other party repeatedly rejected her, "I'm sorry, Mr. Hall is not available recently." ”
Lu Zhanyan didn't give up, she had to make an appointment.
So if it doesn't work once, it will be twice, and if it doesn't work twice, it will be three, a dozen times, or even dozens of times......
Later, even the secretary admired her perseverance, and when she talked to her on the phone, her tone was a little weak, "Secretary Lu, Mr. Hall is really not available recently." ”
"I know it's presumptuous, but we really like that Mr. Hall can take the time to meet us, it only takes half an hour, half an hour is enough......" Lu Zhanyan kept saying good things, trying to get her to help with this.
In the end, the other party's secretary was moved by her perseverance, and said helplessly, "Okay, Secretary Lu, it's only half an hour." ”
"Thank you!" Lu Zhanyan breathed a sigh of relief and smiled.
&mda;
The president of CTTI Bank's Hong Kong branch is the largest director of CTTI Bank, his name is Hale, and his Chinese name is Hall.
Despite his advanced age, Mr. Hall is still in good spirits and has lived in Port City for more than 10 years.
Before Qin Shijin and Lu Zhanyan went to visit, they did a lot of work on this person. He treats his subordinates generously, but he treats his work very harshly and firmly, and he is an extremely tenacious person. What's even more surprising is that the data shows that Hall is already terminally ill and dying.
"Mr. Jin, are you sure to convince him to take out a loan to Zhongzheng?" Lu Zhanyan looked at the information and couldn't help but ask worriedly.
Qin Shijin put down the information and said indifferently, "It's man-made." ”
I had already expected his reaction, but Lu Zhanyan still frowned, "I heard that the chairman of Shengkai had a good relationship with him, but Shengkai had an economic crisis and asked him for a loan, but he didn't get his help." ”
Later, Shengkai couldn't hold on and had to declare bankruptcy.
It is this that Lu Zhanyan is worried about, the chairman of Shengkai and Hall are old acquaintances, but Zhongzheng and CTTI have not even cooperated.
And what leverage do they have to convince Hall to borrow money?
Qin Shijin said quietly, "Shengkai was on the verge of bankruptcy back then, even if Hall lent to Shengkai, it would not be able to recover it at all, and Zhongzheng's situation was not the same as Shengkai." ”
Lu Zhanyan was a little relieved, "I made an appointment with Mr. Hall at half past ten, and it's almost time." ”
"Let's go."
Lu Zhanyan silently followed behind him, looking at his tall back, praying that they would have good luck today.
Then the two arrived at CTTI, and the secretary who received them politely said, "Please, Mr. Hall is in the office." ”
Mr. Hall is of mixed Chinese and American descent, just over 50 years old, but he is sick, his hair has turned gray, probably because of the illness, his body is very thin, but his mental outlook is very good. The silhouette is deep, but not as deep as other Westerners, and the eyes are very dark, the color of the Oriental.
"Mr. Hall, it's an honor to meet you." Qin Shijin shook hands with Hall without humility or arrogance, and said in a proper manner, "Thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule to see us." ”
Hall spoke Chinese very fluently, "Mr. Qin doesn't have to be polite, please sit down." ”
Qin Shijin and Lu Zhanyan sat down, and Hall went straight to the point, "You want to see me, and I have already heard from the secretary about the things you want to discuss." ”
When Lu Zhanyan heard this, he immediately sat down.
Qin Shijin said in a deep voice, "So, Mr. Hall's decision?" ”
"I'm sorry, but the bank won't agree to the loan." Hall directly refused, but his tone was very gentlemanly and gentle.
"Mr. Hall, as long as Zhongzheng survives this hurdle, the future will definitely be very impressive. If Mr. Hall can lend money to Zhongzheng to survive this difficult time, I am willing to calculate the interest at double rate. ”
"It's not about interest." Mr. Hall shook his head and said, "Zhongzheng does have great potential, but after all, our CTTI is foreign, Mr. Qin, there is a saying in China that a strong dragon is no match for a ground snake." I don't want to lose CTTI's foundation in Hong Kong City because of Zhongzheng. ”
※※※
Hall's words were very clear, he didn't want to offend the Sun family for the sake of Zhongzheng, after all, in Hong Kong City, the Sun family is the boss of the banking industry.
Qin Shijin smiled faintly, "I thought that in Hong Kong City, CTTI was the only bank that would not be afraid of the Sun family. ”
"Young man, the agitation method will not work for me." Hall smiled, "I don't want to waste any more energy fighting at the mall, you don't have to waste any more time on me." ”
Qin Shijin sat still, "In that case, why did Mr. Hall agree to see us?" ”
"If I don't see you, I'm afraid you won't die. And your secretary calls 800 times a day, and if I don't see her, I'm sorry for her. Hall said, smiling at Lu Zhanyan.
Qin Shijin looked sideways at Lu Zhanyan, Lu Zhanyan was a little anxious, but his expression was quite calm, and he said, "Mr. Hall, hello, can you think about it again, this is a win-win cooperation after all." ”
Hall continued, "I'm sorry, please go back." ”
Lu Zhanyan wanted to ask him again, but Qin Shijin had already gotten up and said, "Then we will leave, Mr. Hall, I'm sorry to disturb you, goodbye." ”
Walking out of the bank, Lu Zhanyan felt that his mood was a little heavy, and he frowned and asked, "What should I do now?" ”
If there is no money, the project will not be launched, and the situation that has been finally recovered will fall short, and it will only fall into a greater crisis.
"Go back to the company first." Qin Shijin said, the driver had already driven the car over.
Lu Zhanyan didn't say much more, and the two got into the car one after the other and left CTTI.
"According to the information, Hall is terminally ill?" Turning back to the office, Qin Shijin closed his eyes and suddenly asked.
"Yes." Lu Zhanyan hurriedly replied.
"I remember his children were all abroad." Qin Shijin pondered.
"Well, Mr. Hall has been in Port City alone for more than ten years."
"Are children unfilial?"
"No, his children will fly to Port City regularly to visit him."
"So what's the reason for him staying in Port City?"
Lu Zhanyan was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly took out the information he was carrying, and looked at it in a hurry, but he didn't find any useful information.
"Do you want someone to check?"
"Immediately."
Lu Zhanyan resolutely and immediately carried out Qin Shijin's order, she was not surprised by Qin Shijin's decision at all, even if Mr. Hall had clearly rejected the loan, he was not one who would give up easily.
Even if he is in a desperate situation, he will break through.
Qin Shijin is such a person.
Within half a day, Lu Zhanyan sent the new information to Qin Shijin's office.
"Seen it?"
"Yes, I've seen it."
"Tell me what you think." Qin Shijin put down the information, and his voice was heavy.
"Finding someone in the port city is tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack. And there are no photos on the information, not even a name, and Mr. Hall has never looked for her for so many years. If you really want to find it, I don't know where to start. Lu Zhanyan calmly analyzed.
According to the information, Hall came to Hong Kong City to take over the branch bank at the behest of his father when he was young, and later met a woman in Hong Kong City. However, because of the family's pros and cons, Hall had to return to the United States a year later and obey the arrangement to marry and have children, so he cut ties with the girl.
But to say that Hall loves that woman very much, because she insisted on staying in Port City, why has she never looked for it for so many years?
But there is no other reason to say no.
You can't think that Hall doesn't even want to die because he loves Port City, and insists on staying in Port City. After all, there is still a big gap between the level of treatment in Hong Kong City and that of the United States.
"Let them check again and see if they find anything else." Qin Shijin said indifferently.
Lu Zhanyan nodded, seeing that he continued to review the documents, he pursed his lips but did not mention anything more.
According to the information, Mr. Hall has the habit of climbing mountains in the morning, and he will appear on time at Phoenix Mountain every day.
Maybe she should try her luck.
&mda;
"Mr. Jin, then I'll go out first." Lu Zhanyan was about to leave.
Qin Shijin bowed her head silently, but when she turned around, she asked, "Have you eaten?" ”
Lu Zhanyan was stunned, he suddenly asked such a question without warning, which surprised her, obviously he was working hard......
Lu Zhanyan hurriedly came back to his senses and replied truthfully, "Not yet." ”
It's true that I haven't yet, I've been busy all morning, and I can't take care of eating.
"Eat together at noon." Immediately afterwards, Qin Shijin said.
After returning from Hangzhou, Qin Shijin has been very busy, in addition to the company is going out, at night is even more social, inside and out, she has not eaten with him for two days, Lu Zhanyan really wants to be alone with him for a while, so he nodded, "Okay." ”
But......
"Where to eat?"
When you're so busy, you can't go out to eat, it's too luxurious.
It's not good to eat in the company's staff cafeteria, right?
Even if there was a separate restaurant on the executive floor, he would never go!
Qin Shijin said indifferently, "You go and buy it and get it to the office." ”
Lu Zhanyan's eyes lit up suddenly, and he only felt that it was a good idea, "I'll buy it in a while, what do you want to eat?" ”
"It's up to you."
※※※
When it was noon, Lu Zhanyan really went to buy a food box. She didn't run far, and she was very busy, so she went to the restaurant to buy a few meals. It's just that she just took the lunch box and knocked on the door to enter the office, only to find that in addition to Qin Shijin, there was also Xiao Mobai.
"Manager Xiao, you are also ......" Lu Zhanyan suddenly became embarrassed, they were all busy before, so there was no chance to get along alone like this.
Suddenly, bumping into Xiao Mobai, even though Qin Shijin was there, it would still embarrass her.
Especially reminded her of that phone call......
It's terrible!
Xiao Mobai smiled at her, his eyes swept over her, and he looked at the lunch box she was carrying, "Secretary Lu, haven't eaten yet?" ”
"Yes, yes......" Lu Zhanyan became more and more embarrassed, and hurriedly said, "Mr. Jin, Manager Xiao, I'll go out first......"
Qin Shijin said, "No." ”
Lu Zhanyan was just about to move her steps, but she could only freeze, so what was she going to do?
Qin Shijin didn't have any expression on his face, and said generously, "You sit over there and go to eat." ”
Lu Zhanyan glanced at the rest area and said softly, "Mr. Jin, you are talking about business......
After all, I don't think it's very good, and it's very strange, they are still talking about business, but she stays there to eat alone?
At this time, Xiao Mobai also spoke, "Secretary Lu, what Mr. Jin asks you to do, you can do it." Don't worry, I won't tell anyone that you eat in the office of the general manager's office. ”
Lu Zhanyan was directly speechless, how could this Xiao Mobai be so hateful?
Could it be that this is the red who is close to Zhu and the black who is close to ink?
Look at them again, one has a cold face, the other is smiling, no matter how you look at it, it feels like you want to watch her play, if you run away at this time, it will be really embarrassing. Since they all tacitly agreed, Lu Zhanyan also let it go, there is nothing to be afraid of, and there is nothing to avoid.
She smiled at the two of them and sat down on the sofa in the lounge area with her lunch box.
I opened my lunch box and started eating.
Lu Zhanyan was eating here, and the two were still talking over there, and from time to time, the sound of their conversation would come, which felt very subtle, but also a little joyful.
However, after a while, Lu Zhanyan had not finished eating, and the negotiation between the two finally ended.
Xiao Mobai looked at her and said deliberately, "Secretary Lu, what are you eating?" It tastes good! ”
"Manager Xiao, it's just a staff meal ...... the restaurant"
"Oh? I really haven't eaten a staff meal, so I don't know what it tastes like? Xiao Mobai raised his eyebrows and said.
Xiao Mobai is also a wealthy man, and it is too normal not to go to the staff restaurant.
However, listening to him, do you want to ......
Lu Zhanyan hesitated, he didn't want to speak, but he couldn't resist his eyes, and said stubbornly, "Manager Xiao, I bought too many lunch boxes, if you don't mind......"
Without waiting for her to finish, Xiao Mobai immediately said, "Don't mind, how could I mind." ”
Xiao Mobai said as he got up and walked towards her, and then sat down in the opposite position, then looked at Qin Shijin without hurrying, "Jin, aren't you coming to eat?" ”
Qin Shijin was silent, and asked in a cold voice, "Didn't you make an appointment?" ”
"No appointment at noon."
"You can make an appointment right away." Qin Shijin's face sank, obviously not happy that he, a third party, would come out to stir up the situation.
However, Xiao Mobai was determined to be this third party, he made it clear that "I won't leave", and said with a smile, "I haven't eaten the staff meal in the company's restaurant, let's try it today." ”
"You can skip it." Qin Shijin saw that he couldn't get rid of him, so he had no choice but to accept his fate.
He also got up and sat down beside Lu Zhanyan safely.
"It's rare and I want to change the taste." Xiao Mobai said casually, looking up at Lu Zhanyan, "Secretary Lu, which box is for me?" ”
Lu Zhanyan didn't know what he liked to eat, so he hurriedly said, "This is pork rib rice, this is chicken thigh rice, and that is sauce meat, which one does Manager Xiao like?" ”
"Whichever one you choose, you can choose for me."
"Oh, good." Lu Zhanyan didn't care either, and immediately said, "Then the sauce meat rice, this sauce meat tastes very good." ”
"Get it for me." Xiao Mobai was so white that he could inch in.
Qin Shijin frowned unhappily, "You don't have any hands yourself?" ”
"It's okay, I'll just get it, it's closer to me." Lu Zhanyan immediately took action to bring it to him for him, Xiao Mobai smiled very treacherously, "Thank you." ”
Qin Shijin was sullen here, God knew that he had exercised these rights before, and his sovereignty was occupied by others, which made him unhappy.
"What do you want to eat?" Lu Zhanyan asked Qin Shijin again.
"Whatever." Qin Shijin was already unhappy, and his tone was not very good.
"The choice is yours." Lu Zhanyan didn't serve him anymore, and only let him do it himself.
Xiao Mobai was overjoyed on the other side, Qin Shijin became more and more depressed, and it was difficult to say anything, so he could only eat alone.
When lunch was over, Xiao Mobai was refreshed and chose to leave, "Secretary Lu, thank you for your lunch." ”
"You're welcome." Lu Zhanyan watched him leave with a smile, and turned his head to look at Qin Shijin, only to find that he was staring at him viciously.
"You...... What are you doing? "What kind of eyes is he!
Qin Shijin's eyes tightened, and he snorted coldly.
Lu Zhanyan didn't want to pay attention to him, so he began to clean up the mess, who knew that a key was suddenly thrown on the coffee table......
That's the key to the Blue Castle apartments.
