101. Financial Alliance
Lin Miao sat behind the long table of the conference and was not particularly surprised to see that the representative of JM Group who walked in the door was Chen Bin. Chen Bin's reaction was very amusing to her, he didn't notice that she was sitting on Xu Mu's left hand side at first, and he also greeted Xu Mu for a while, and when he sat down opposite him, he raised his eyes, and when he met her gaze, his calm complexion suddenly changed.
After that, the surprised eyes almost never left her, and she shook her head many times during the meeting. Even Xu Mu saw that Mr. Chen, the CEO of the Dasu District of JM Group, seemed to be a little out of state, and after glancing at Lin Miao, he offered to suspend the meeting first.
Public relations manager Xu Xiaotong prepared a takeaway afternoon tea under Lin Miao's instructions as early as possible, which was her first time in the company to comfort her employees. It was in the past that the three fires of the new official took office, and now the workplace governance is to win the hearts of the people.
"That...... Can you have a conversation? Chen Bin's hesitant question came from behind, Lin Miao turned around and smiled: "Of course." ”
The two walked to the window next to the safe passage, and Lin Miao opened the topic first: "I really didn't expect you to jump ship to JM Group, is the welfare given to you by Tingzhou not good enough?" ”
Chen Bin was stunned, and immediately shook his head: "No, I didn't change jobs, or ...... Still in the same post. The JM Group is the group founded by the boss, Tingzhou is the headquarters, there are several branches under it, and I am in charge of the Dasu region. ”
Lin Miao's face showed surprise: "Now that Tingzhou has developed into a group?" What about Ye Feifei, is he still in the company? ”
"Extraordinary is the CEO of Daning District, responsible for the Xining area."
"Oh? This time, the project we negotiated seems to have a Xining area. ”
Chen Bin nodded, "That's right, when the time comes, going to Xining to do the project will be contacted and responsible by Extraordinary, and it is not my responsibility." ”
Lin Miaoyan didn't ask any more questions, and her eyes fell to the window. Chen Bin really wanted to open his mouth to remind her why he didn't ask the boss about the situation, but after waiting for a long time, the silence was still maintained between the two.
To be honest, he really didn't know how to communicate with her without the topic of the boss.
Chen Bin couldn't help but speak: "Actually, the boss ...... him" As soon as the words came out, he heard the shouting behind him: "Mr. Chen, Director Lin, there is a meeting." ”
Lin Miao turned around, her eyes swept over Chen Bin's face, and she said with a light smile: "Mr. Chen, let's go back to the meeting." Then he passed by, leaving only a back for Chen Bin, as if he hadn't heard him mention the word "boss".
Chen Bin didn't see the gleam flashing in Lin Miao's eyes, just as Lin Miao didn't see the complicated look on Chen Bin's face, both of them hid their thoughts. After the meeting went very smoothly, the two sides put several projects on the table to discuss, and felt that the cooperation was feasible and it was decided, and the follow-up review was to be preliminarily determined, and finally when Lin Miao asked the assistant to print the contract template, his eyes swept to Chen Bin and asked in a casual tone: "Does Mr. Chen need to ask for advice from the superiors?" ”
Chen Bin had a feeling of black lines on his forehead, and who else could his superior leader have, naturally referring to the boss. I didn't seem to hear what I was doing, so I was all waiting here.
However, he didn't act out of the ordinary, only paused and replied, "No, Mr. J has full authority to take charge of the entire cooperation." ”
"Oh? I heard that Mr. J talked about a smart project with the Americans, but I wonder if I can get a piece of the pie with our T Group? ”
"This project is being discussed by Mr. J, I am not involved, Director Lin can talk to Mr. J if he is interested." Chen Bin responded calmly on his face, but he was a little apprehensive in his heart, Lin Miao's aura after a few years was too strong, and he had the potential to catch up with the boss.
When Lin Miao heard this, he only smiled and did not continue the topic.
However, Xu Mu's gaze circled back and forth on the two of them, and he noticed something unusual in it. From her point of view, this Mr. Chen, although he is only in his thirties, he looks good, but the whole person feels too old and heavy, and he speaks with some rigidity, which should not be the type that Sister Miao Miao likes.
But when looking at the signing of the contract later, the occasional collision of the eyes of the two made Xu Mu feel that there was a problem, could it be ...... Could it be that this Mr. Chen is the owner of the crystal bracelet on Sister Miaomiao's wrist? Hey, why didn't Sister Miaomiao wear a bracelet today?
Only then did she realize that Lin Miao's wrist was naked, but she was wearing a ring on the finger of her right hand that she had never seen before. Wait, rings? Or the ring finger? Uh, Sister Miaomiao, what are you doing here?
Xu Mu's gaze became curious and complicated when she looked at Chen Bin again, she felt that although Sister Ah Miaomiao said it freely, but the person who could wear the bracelet given by a man on her hand for five years was probably not the one who said that she could let it go.
This Mr. Chen must have something outstanding to make Sister Miao Miao care so much, and even today's negotiation has been "carefully" prepared, but I don't know if Mr. Chen still has an unforgettable old love for Sister Miaomiao. Xu Mu deliberately observed the details on Chen Bin's body, at least he didn't see the ring on his two hands, so he should still be unmarried.
"Mr. Xu?" Xu Mu's stunned was interrupted by the summons around him, turned his eyes to Lin Miaoqingling's gaze, and then looked at the contract pushed over on the table, and immediately understood: "Oh, you want me to sign it, right?" Isn't that the last page? ”
Pulled up the pen and was about to sign, but was held down by Lin Miao, "Mr. Xu, you first look at the terms of the contract, and then ask Mr. Chen's opinion, and then sign the contract after both parties reach an agreement." ”
"Oh good." Xu Mu responded in his mouth, but swept a few pages with ten lines at a glance, and said in his heart that you have checked it, why do you need her to worry about it again, but she still has to look up and ask Chen Bin with a serious face: "Mr. Chen, do you have any suggestions for the contract?" Chen Bin was also turning to the last page at this time, when he raised his head when he heard the sound, his eyes drifted to Lin Miaohou and said, "I have no opinion, Director Lin is very thoughtful." ”
Hearing this, Xu Mu felt very ambiguous in his ears, and couldn't help pursing his lips and smiled: "Then let's officially sign the contract." ”
With a paper contract, the two consortia formally established a cooperative relationship.
Xu Muben invited Chen Bin to dinner, but was politely refused, saying that he would go back to Wucheng to arrange the follow-up of the project. When sending people downstairs, Lin Miao happened to have a phone call in, so he said "sorry" and walked to the side to answer the phone. Xu Mu waited for Lin Miao to walk away, then took a step closer to Chen Bin and asked in a low voice: "I don't know if Mr. Chen is married?" ”
Chen Bin was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect this Xiao Xu to suddenly ask this, and subconsciously shook his head: "Not yet." ”
Xu Mu followed up and asked, "Do you have a girlfriend?" ”
This time, Chen Bin's face showed embarrassment, "Mr. Xu, you are ......?"
"Don't mind Mr. Chen, I'm just curious." Xu Mu also deliberately glanced at Lin Miao, who was talking on the phone over there, and hinted: "Our Director Lin is actually still single." ”
Chen Bin was stunned, and it took a while to react, his eyes flashed with embarrassment, and he hurriedly said: "Mr. Xu is afraid that he has misunderstood, I already have a girlfriend." Xu Mu was stunned and asked: "Really? ”
"Yes, getting married at the end of the year."
At this time, Lin Miao hung up the phone and turned back, seeing that there was something strange between the expressions of the two here, and asked in a shallow voice, "What are you talking about?" ”
Chen Bin responded before Xu Mu: "It's nothing, you don't need to send it, Chen will say goodbye here, and I wish us a happy cooperation." With that, he nodded to the two of them and walked out of the building quickly.
When he got to the car, he immediately dialed the phone, and the deep voice came through: "The contract has been signed?" ”
"Signed, it's almost the same as you expected, all the projects that have passed the cooperation are Lao Ye's side, and there is only one one on the Dasu District." Chen Bin paused and asked puzzled: "Boss, why is this?" ”
"Because, she doesn't want to go back to Wucheng for the time being."
For Lin Miao, naturally no one knows more than the boss, but ...... "There is one thing I don't know whether to say or not." ”
"You've already said it, what else are you selling?"
"She had a ring on her right ring finger." Afraid that the boss's mind would be heavy, he immediately chased after him and said, "But just now Mr. Xu said that she is actually still single." ”
The other end of the phone was silent for a moment, which made Chen Bin feel slightly worried, but he heard the boss ask: "Why did Xu Mu mention this to you?" ”
Chen Bin coughed awkwardly: "It seems that she mistook me for you." ”
He couldn't see the boss's expression through the phone, and it shouldn't be very pleasant to think about it, but he couldn't hear anything unusual when he spoke again: "What about the things that made you hint?" ”
Chen Bin's heart sank, and he could only bite the bullet and say, "I don't have a chance to mention it." She deliberately avoided mentioning you when she spoke in private, and I couldn't say it when it came to the human presence. ”
I only heard the boss snort softly, and his tone became cold: "I won't give you a chance in private, and I won't be able to call?" Do you still need me to teach this? Chen Bin's forehead began to sweat, and he hurriedly responded: "Okay, I'll call her." ”
After ending the call, Chen Bin wiped the cold sweat on his head, and looked bitter, how could he let him take on this errand. None of the people at these two ends can be provoked or provoked by him, it is better for Lao Ye to be in Daxining.
complained like this in his heart, but this phone still has to be called, just now Lin Miao gave him a business card, dialed it according to the mobile phone number on the business card, and the ringtone counted to more than a dozen, and finally answered it.
——
Xu Mu saw that Lin Miao's expression was obviously wrong after answering the phone, and couldn't help asking, "Is it Australia?" ”
But seeing Lin Miao shaking her head, "No." Then changed the topic: "Can you please behave like the president of the group, even if you are interested in others, don't keep staring at others, and read the terms of both parties before signing the contract This is basic common sense." ”
When Xu Mu heard this, he immediately argued: "What, how can I have any intention of Mr. Chen, I saw the two of you eyebrows, and I guessed it." Lin Miao frowned: "What did you guess?" ”
"It's that you used to be a couple, and he was the owner of your bracelet. But I asked for you, he is not married, but he has a girlfriend, and he will marry her at the end of this year. Alas, Sister Miaomiao, why do you think the two of us have the same fate? ”
The corners of Lin Miao's mouth twitched, what kind of mess is this, she and Chen Bin? What kind of eyes is this girl, and she still sympathizes with each other...... It's not that she wants to be poisonous, but to put an end to the follow-up development of this kind of thing, so she didn't hesitate to teach Xu Mu this lesson: "First of all, your vision of knowing people really needs to be verified; Secondly, even if you really see the clues, do you understand what it means to be quiet? Don't just put things on your face, even if you have doubts in your heart, you have to hold them when you should hold them; Third ......"
"Wait a minute, Sister Miaomiao," Xu Mu got up suddenly, "I remembered, just now Xiaotong said that the public relations department has a document that I need to sign, I'll take a look, you are busy first." ”
Seeing the girl fleeing in the wilderness, Lin Miao couldn't help laughing, she must have been complaining about her preaching again when she went out. But if she doesn't preach, will she tell all those things?
She glanced at the ring on her finger and took it off in disgust and threw it into a drawer. You must know that it was Chen Bin, and she didn't have to make this effort to toss, but although it was Chen Bin, the meaning that should be conveyed was also reached.
Speaking of Chen Bin's reaction today, he seemed to be shocked when he first saw her, but that reaction would seem a little exaggerated, and then he should have deliberately talked to her in private, but she didn't give him a chance to mention someone.
But just ...... Lin Miao squinted, Chen Bin specially called to say that incident, is it true?
Chen Bin said that on the day she went abroad, in fact, the person came to the airport and stood on the second floor to watch her walk into the passageway. Soon after, at the airport gate, he crashed his car into a wall to avoid a child running onto the road.
Lin Miao didn't ask him how his injuries were, and Chen Bin didn't say anything, but only said one last sentence: I think it's necessary to tell you about it.
got up to pour hot water, and suddenly the thoughts that shook in her mind made her legs and feet weak, and the whole person fell to the ground, the cup rumbled and rolled away, and the only remaining water in the water cup splashed on her body, but she looked down indifferently, and her face turned white inch by inch.
Almost stumbling to the table, she grabbed her phone and rummaged through the address book, the name was neither at the top nor at the bottom, but in the middle of the J column, but she had never been so frightened for a moment, and her outstretched fingers were trembling. She didn't dare to think about that possibility, but she couldn't control the thinking in her head, and a voice kept asking: Why did it come to Chen Bin instead of him? Why did Chen Bin make that call?
Finally, his finger swiped across the screen, exited to the "Recent Calls" interface, pressed the first caller ID, and as soon as Lin Miao was connected, he scolded Lin Miao fiercely: "Chen Bin, tell me the truth, is he dead or alive?" ”
Chen Bin was stunned before he reacted: "You misunderstood, of course the boss is still alive, I told you that he had a car accident because I wanted to talk ......about it" Before he finished speaking, there was a beep on his mobile phone, and the words behind him were stuck in his throat. Chen Bin couldn't react a little, this Lin Miao was too resolute, and was there a problem with his expression? How could she ask - is the boss dead or alive?
On the company's side, Lin Miao sat down in a chair after getting the answer, and her legs didn't have the strength to stand up for a long time. The thought just now was so terrible that she didn't even listen to her hands and feet, and the uncontrollable fear in her heart was only an instant to drown her heart, and that bad feeling exceeded the long years she had left Wu Cheng.
She can be confident, calm, and persistent, knowing that he is in the other corner of the world, not necessarily waiting for her, but at least she still has a chance; But if someone told her that he was gone on the day she left Wu Cheng, then what could all this count as? Why did she come back?
Lin Miao sniffed and swallowed the sourness.
