"What's the matter? In a hurry? I still have to communicate with Xiaoya about things in Kyoto, and I have to help her do some media PR from there! Xia Qing asked.

"It's about Mingyuan Group!" I hesitated for a moment, but said anyway.

"Oh?" Xia Qing heard me talk about Mingyuan Group, and looked at my expression again, so she turned to Feng Yasong and said: "Xiao Song, please contact Xiao Ya over there, and then ask her to confirm the media public relations matter, you also pay attention to the media report at any time, and tell me at any time if you have something!" ”

After Xia Qing finished arranging things, Feng Yasong went out to call Zhao Xiaoya, then she poured a glass of water, sat down, and then said slowly: "What's the new situation on the group's side?" ”

I told Xia Qing about the situation that Sister Miao told me when I met Sister Miao.

After listening to this, she rubbed her temples and pondered for a moment, then raised her head a little puzzled and asked, "The group only introduced a new investor not long ago, and Xia Lang's side will not be short of money logically?" ”

"According to Sister Miao, the problem is mainly in the Longhe villa project, the early investment is too large, the later sales are not smooth, it is said that a chemical plant is going to be built nearby, and now the owners are checking out." I told you the news I got from Sister Miao.

After listening to what I said, Xia Qing pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "If there is a problem with Longhe Villa, then the situation may really be very bad!" ”

"Why?" I saw that Xia Qing had a solemn expression and asked with some puzzlement.

"In addition to the actions in tourism hotels, the most important project of the group in the past two or three years is the Dragon River Villa. In the past two years, with the bullish real estate market in Longcheng, many well-known real estate companies have come into Longcheng, and state-owned companies have taken land for financing and have abundant funds, so the competition has been white-hot. Xia Qing said slowly.

"Competition between developers is the norm, this Mingyuan Group has also encountered it before, I think the development has always been very good!" I asked, puzzled.

"Actually—it's all superficial! Developers are like this, because the cost is very high, so the vast majority of developers first take a bank loan to get land, and then develop quickly, through pre-sale to return funds, and then open for follow-up development. Each link is interlocking, and as long as one link goes wrong, it will be like dominoes. ”

"You mean the Dragon River Villas project is the group's first domino to fall?"

"You know, before my father passed away, he was most worried about this project. However, this project has always been managed by Xia Lang, and to be honest, the performance has been okay before. Originally, the group hoped to complete the transformation and upgrading of the company through the Dragon River Villa project. You know, the low-end market is now a pot of porridge, if Longhe Villa can do a good job, then according to my father's meaning, Longhe can get rid of the low-end competition and price war with competitors in the future. But I didn't expect that Xia Lang would dare to cheat on this project! ”

Xia Qing's words were very rational and calm at first, but in the end, she seemed very angry, probably thinking that the company founded by her father could be destroyed at any time, so she was so angry.

"You mean that Xia Lang cheated on the Dragon River Villa project and hid it from your father?" I asked.

"I guess, you remember the last time I accompanied my father to the Dragon River project, right? After that time, according to Xia Lang, the sales of Longhe Villa have been very good, and my father and I were surprised to see the sales data from Xia Lang, because according to Xia Lang, Longhe Villa was more than half of the pre-sales at that time, but I didn't expect it! What we saw at the time was fake data! Xia Qing said hatefully.

"The son wants to hide it from his father?" I really don't understand Xia Lang's behavior, if he could tell Xia Mingyuan the real situation at that time, maybe things wouldn't have gotten so bad now.

"Because my father has never liked Xia Lang's style, so he called me back, according to my father's meaning, he wants me to manage the company with Xia Lang, Xia Lang is definitely unwilling, so do a good job of data to make my father satisfied, maybe he thinks it's safer, right?" Xia Qing finished with a sneer, and then sighed.

"If what Sister Miao said is correct, then Mingyuan Group is very dangerous now! What's your best idea? I asked.

"The biggest worry about real estate is the rupture of capital flow, once the capital flow is broken, the bank loan cannot be repaid when it expires; Banks are worried about bad debts and will not lend to you casually; There is no cash without sales, and there is no way to start a new project without cash...... Now there may be only two possibilities for the group. ”

"What are the two possibilities?"

"Either sell assets and pay off bank debts as they mature; Either the introduction of new investments. Or, both! Xia Qing said dryly.

"There's no other way?" I asked.

Xia Qing shook her head after hearing this, the expression on her face was very solemn, after all, although the Mingyuan we were talking about at this time was controlled by Xia Lang, it was also a giant ship built by Xia Qing's father.

"What if Xia Lang neither sells assets nor brings in investment?" I thought for a moment and asked.

"That'...... There is only one dead end! Xia Qing said with a gloomy expression.

"So what can we do?"

"Now, we may not be able to do anything but wait and see what happens." Xia Qing sighed.

I nodded, and didn't say anything more, I can help Xia Qing at this moment, that is, sit quietly with her for a while, I know that she needs someone to accompany her at this moment, although the person she thinks about may not be me, but I like the feeling of being able to accompany her.

We sat silently for a while, thinking about things, and saw that the sun was setting and the sky was about to get dark.

It's past the beginning of spring, and there is a soft fragrance of flowers and plants in the air outside the window, but neither I nor Xia Qing have any intention of appreciating it.

After sitting for a long time, Xia Qing stood up and resolutely looked out the window and said slowly: "No matter what, I won't let Mingyuan Group fall into the hands of outsiders!" ”

I gently patted her on the shoulder, her shoulder shrugged, and then leaned her head on my shoulder, I gently took Xia Qing in my arms, and she finally couldn't help leaning on my shoulder.

Immediately, I heard soft, muffled sobs, and the wet touch of her tears on my shoulders, and though I was a little away, I could still feel the warmth of her body and the fragrance of her body.

Indeed, the fragrance on Xia Qing's body is different from Xiang Mengmeng's, her fragrance is lighter, but it seems to be a floral fragrance, this smell is intoxicating......

After five or six minutes, Xia Qing wiped her tears, gently pushed me away, and then whispered, "I'm sorry, Gao Chao!" Miss my dad, if dad was still around, things wouldn't be so bad! ”

"Don't worry, there will always be a way, I will also pay attention to the situation over there during this time, and we will synchronize any news at any time."

After listening to me, Xia Qing wiped her tears, and her mood finally improved.

At this time, Feng Yasong came in from outside after making a phone call, and saw Xia Qing wiping her tears, so she said loudly: "Sister Tianqing, what's wrong with you?" Is it Gao Chao bullying you! I'll teach him a lesson! ”

Xia Qing saw Feng Yasong's appearance of threatening to hit me, and smiled and said, "No, I was talking about some things at work just now, it's just a bit of a touch!" How about it, what did Xiaoya say over there? ”

"I just want to say that Sister Xiaoya is really a bit of a cow!" Feng Yasong pulled Xia Qing to sit down with a gossip on his face.

"Let's talk first, I'll get something to eat!"

After being busy for most of the day, and I didn't eat lunch, my stomach was already rumbling, and I thought that Feng Yasong was going to talk about Zhang Delun and Wen Qianqian's gossip again, so I turned around and went to the kitchen to get something to eat.

Before I could enter the kitchen, Xiaobai pushed the door and came in, so he beckoned: "Why did Xiaobai come back so early today?" ”

"Today I'm on a rotation!" Xiaobai looked at me, looking a little embarrassed, and seeing that I was busy in the kitchen, he hurriedly said: "Brother Gao, don't get it, I brought food back!" ”

Xiao Bai waved the big bag in his hand and carefully placed it on the table, Xia Qing and Feng Yasong also smelled the smell and came around, and said to Xiao Bai with a smile: "Xiao Bai wants to have a treat today?" It just so happened that I didn't eat, so I sat down and ate together! ”

Xiaobai took out the vegetables from the big bag in the same way, it was not long after the store was ready, the dishes were still steaming, not to mention the fish and meat, Xiaobai actually took out a bottle of rice wine.

"Xiaobai, it's been a good day these two days! Hey, where did you buy these clothes? It's so pretty! Feng Yasong asked while eating the vegetables while looking Xiaobai up and down.

Seeing Feng Yasong ask this, Xiao Bai's face turned red, and he whispered, "I just bought it, it's okay, right?" ”

"How much salary does Liu Youpeng pay you? This brand is not cheap! Feng Yasong touched the clothes on Xiaobai's body and asked.

"No...... Xiaobai said with a little embarrassed smile: "Xiao Song, hurry up and eat!" The dishes are going to be cold! ”

"Oh, no! There is a situation, Xiaobai! Why are you blushing? Feng Yasong stared at Xiao Baidao unrelentingly.

Seeing Feng Yasong say this, the flush on Xiaobai's face became even thicker, and she said a little embarrassedly: "I haven't paid my salary yet, this ...... This dress was bought by Mr. Liu, saying that the store manager had to wear it better, otherwise it would affect the business of the store. ”

"Phew...... It's not like I haven't been to your store, you all wear uniforms, right? Feng Yasong smiled slyly when he heard this: "I think that Liu Youpeng has taken a fancy to you!" Look at...... Did I say yes? My face is red! ”

"Xiao Song......" Xiao Bai heard Feng Yasong say this, his face suddenly turned red, and he inadvertently glanced at me, and saw that I was also staring at her, so he immediately buried his head, just blindly picking up vegetables, and no longer said a word.

I looked at Xiaobai's expression, and said in my heart, most of this matter was said by Feng Yasong, could it be that Liu Youpeng is really pursuing Xiaobai? It's just that I don't know if Xiaobai told Liu Youpeng about the matter between her and me.

I hope she didn't say it, otherwise Liu Youpeng doesn't know how depressed he should be, I hope this matter is a secret between us.

I thought to myself, those who should go will always go, but is Xiaobai really so willing to leave me? Thinking of this, my heart suddenly became very chaotic and chaotic......

Thinking about Xiaobai, I felt a little uncomfortable, and I didn't care about listening to Feng Yasong continue to tease Xiaobai, so I could only silently pick up vegetables.

When I raised my head, I saw Xia Qing staring at me with a smile, and I really couldn't understand the expression on her face.
