Chapter 40: Uneasiness

Ji Siming stood next to the foundation stone that had just held the groundbreaking ceremony, raising his eyes to look around the crowded scene.

Today's ceremony is a milestone since the establishment of Lifeng Company, and it is also another milestone in Ji Siming's life.

Just an hour ago, when Ji Siming took over the shovel and stood side by side with the mayor, Zhong Yue and others in front of the foundation stone, it marked that Lifeng Company has since squeezed into the ranks of large national enterprises, and Ji Siming himself will also start another stage of struggle in his life journey.

There was a scene of excitement and excitement in front of us, and people were celebrating that the long-planned industrial park had finally begun to break ground.

In Ji Siming's eyes, this jubilant scene was cheering and applauding for his success in winning the battle, because he was the victor and the only winner of this battle.

At this moment, he should be full of excitement and excitement.

However, his heart was unusually calm at the moment, no, not exactly calm, but a little uneasy.

His eyes swept over the excited mayor who was surrounded by a group of guests, and swept over Jerry, who was blocked in the middle by a group of reporters and chatting. Thornton, sweeping through the crowd of people who were toasting one after another, he even saw Lin Yinan answering questions from several reporters in a serious manner. However, he didn't see the person he wanted to see the most, Tong Eun. And what made him feel a little restless was that in this bustling crowd, he didn't see the person he should see the most, Zhong Yue, the chairman of Pengfei Company.

Zhong Yue came to the site of the groundbreaking ceremony very early today, in order to deal with the unavoidable questions from reporters in advance.

For today's result, Zhong Yue was not too surprised. In several contacts with city government leaders, he already had a premonition of the possibility of such an outcome. For Pengfei at present, this result is a bit regrettable, but for the future cooperation with the government, for the future development of Pengfei, it is beneficial and harmless. As for the municipal government's choice of Li Feng and Pengfei to cooperate, it was also expected by Zhong Yue, Li Feng's increasingly strong front and strong economic backing are impossible for any government to ignore.

As soon as he thought of Ji Siming, Zhong Yue could feel a strong momentum, like a whirlwind that couldn't stop, sweeping everything around him and rushing forward desperately, with such a person, whether it was cooperation or becoming an opponent, it was not a good thing.

When Zhong Yue finished answering all the reporters' questions, the crowd around him completely dispersed, and then he saw that Ji Siming and the guests of Dawson's company had already arrived, and they were surrounded by a group of reporters.

He glanced at his watch, there were still 30 minutes before the groundbreaking ceremony began, and the leaders of the city had not yet arrived, so he left the center of the crowd and walked to the guest seat to talk casually with the guests invited by Pengfei.

About ten minutes later, Lin Yinan reminded him beside him, "Mr. Zhong, Mr. Ji of Lifeng Company, they are here." ”

Zhong Yue looked up and saw that Ji Siming was walking towards him with a smile on his face, and the tall foreign man walking to Ji Siming's right was probably Jerry Dawson, the CEO of Dawson Company. Thornton, and the dignified and beautiful woman in the blue dress next to Thornton is Tong Eun.

Zhong Yue stood up and greeted him with a smile.

"Mr. Zhong, you came really early today." Ji Siming said with a smile on his face.

"Of course I have to pay special attention to such an important occasion! Mr. Ji is not too late, I saw that you were busy just now, so I didn't say hello. Zhong Yue smiled and stretched out his hand.

Ji Siming warmly shook Zhong Yue's hand, "It is a great honor for Siming to cooperate with Mr. Zhong to develop this key project in the city." ”

"Mr. Ji has always been so modest, and it is a great pleasure for Pengfei to cooperate with an excellent company like Lifeng."

As he spoke, Zhong Yue turned his gaze to Jerry and Tong En, who had been smiling at them.

"This is Mr. Thornton, isn't it?"

Ji Siming immediately took it and said: "Mr. Zhong has good eyesight, this is Jerry Jerry, CEO of the China office of Dawson Venture Capital in the United States. Mr. Thornton. Mr. Thornton, this is Mr. Zhong Yue, the chairman and general manager of Pengfei Industrial Co., Ltd. ”

"Hello, General Manager Zhong, I have admired your name for a long time, and I am very happy to see you." Jerry had been observing Zhong Yue from the side just now, and he had a very good impression of him.

"Hello, Mr. Thornton, I'm glad to know you." Zhong Yue smiled and shook Jerry's outstretched hand.

"Tong En, I don't need to introduce you, you've already met." Ji Siming looked at Tong En and said.

Zhong Yue looked at Tong En with a smile in his eyes, and Tong En also looked at Zhong Yue with a smile, and the two looked at each other and smiled.

"Miss Tong is really glorious today." Zhong Yue said from the bottom of his heart.

Tong En's heart was hot, he shook his head and said with a smile: "Mr. Zhong is so funny today, it seems that he is in a pretty good mood." ”

"Haha...... can you not make people happy on such a festive occasion?" Zhong Yue smiled happily.

Ji Siming suddenly felt a little strange in his heart, and the conversation between Zhong Tong and the two made him feel a little uncomfortable in his heart.

At this time, there was a commotion in the direction of the entrance and exit of the venue, and all the reporters present rushed to that side.

"Probably the leaders of the municipal party committee are here, Mr. Ji, let's go over and have a look, right?" Zhong Yue looked up and said to Ji Siming.

"Okay, let's go." Ji Siming looked at the crowded entrances and exits, nodded and said.

Jerry whispered something to Tong En, Tong En nodded, looked up and said to Ji Siming and Zhong Yue: "Mr. Ji, Mr. Zhong, then you go over first, Mr. Thornton and I will take a seat in the guest seat first." ”

Ji Siming saw Tong En say this, thought for a while and said, "Okay, Mr. Thornton, please take a seat first, and I'll go over for a while." ”

Zhong Yue was a little surprised, but didn't ask, just smiled and nodded to Tong En, and stretched out his hand to say goodbye to Jerry, "Mr. Thornton, then we'll see you later." ”

"Okay, I'll see you later." Jerry shook Zhong Yue's hand in a friendly manner and nodded with a smile.

Looking at the backs of Ji Siming and Zhong Yue leaving, Jerry said to Tong En: "This General Manager Zhong and our Ji are two completely different people. ”

Tong En looked at Zhong Ji and the two striding meteor figures, and nodded, "Although the personalities are completely different, they are both heroes in the shopping mall." ”

"Looks like you admire them." Jerry looked at Tong En.

Tong En looked at him frankly and said, "Yes, I appreciate them. ”

"So, which one do you admire more?"

Tong En thought for a while and said: "Whether it is in terms of personality charm or intelligence, they all have their own strengths, and it is difficult to distinguish between the superior and the inferior. ”

Jerry's dark green pupils looked deeper, and he frowned slightly and asked, "What about me?" Who do you admire more than me and the two of them? ”

Tong En looked at him with some amusement, and Jerry's face that resembled Tom Cruise showed a hint of annoyance, this romantic man could not forget to be jealous on such an occasion.

"I not only admire you, but also adore you, plus 20 percent friendship and 20 percent family affection."

Jerry grinned contentedly, though with some regret.

Tong En's hand asked Jerry to sit in the guest seat, and then she also sat down next to Jerry.

Jerry's words made her feel a little funny, but they made some waves in her otherwise calm heart. She looked up at Zhong Yue and Ji Siming, who were chatting and laughing with the leaders of the municipal party committee on the guest of honor, and her thinking seemed to be a little confused, and she couldn't figure it out for a while.

Since breaking up with Zhong Yue and Yu Hao last time, Tong En has not sorted out his thinking. Half of her thinking told her that she should stay away from the father and son, and not have any interaction with Zhong Yue outside of business. Zhong Yue is the CEO of Pengfei Group, a son of a wealthy family, and a divorced man, he should never have too much to do with such a man. And the other half of her thinking told her that there was nothing abnormal about this, it was just a chance encounter, it was an ordinary human exchange, and there was no other meaning, there was no need to be so nervous.

And Ji Siming, since the last time he met He Xiao, Tong En's heart has become more determined to keep his distance from Ji Siming. Ji Siming always has something in him that Tong En can't fathom, he is not like Jerry, Jerry is a transparent man, no matter how extensive his love is, he never hides it. He is also not like Zhong Yue, although Tong En and Zhong Yue only had a brief individual contact, but Zhong Yue's frankness and sincerity left a deep impression on Tong En.

In Tong En's eyes, Ji Siming is a very complex man, although Tong En can always understand his thoughts, which makes Tong En realize that she and Ji Siming are actually very similar people, they are the kind of people who rely on their own efforts to strive for and realize their wishes and ideals step by step, so they appreciate each other at the first time. But Tong En knew very well from the beginning that this was a dangerous man. Tong En didn't want to make her life more complicated, so she subconsciously avoided Ji Siming from the beginning.

Tong En's thoughts were wandering boundlessly, and his eyes were unconsciously looking at the guest of honor. A staff member walked up to her and asked, "Excuse me, are you Ms. Tong En?" ”

Tong En was startled and replied, "Yes, I am Tong En." ”

"The leaders of the municipal party committee invite you and Mr. Thornton to sit at the guest of honor."

Tong En looked up at the guest of honor, and saw the leaders of the city, Ji Siming, and Zhong Yue all looking at this side with a smile. She quickly whispered a few words to Jerry, Jerry nodded, and the two of them stood up and walked towards the guest of honor under the guidance of the staff.

The groundbreaking ceremony officially began.
