Chapter 93: A Gentleman's Friend
The top floor of the Lin Group, the president's office.
Lin Xi stood in front of the big floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the city, the bustling streets and crowded people outside the window were the epitome of the prosperity of J City.
The door was pushed open from the outside, followed by a series of steady and rhythmic footsteps, Lin Xi did not look back, and said in a low voice: "Here, sit casually!" Today, everyone in the company is off duty, and if you want to drink water, you can get mineral water in the refrigerator. ”
"I'm not thirsty." Xu Zhiheng sat directly on Lin Xi's leather boss chair, resting his head on the back of the chair, and leaning back hard, "Your chair of President Lin is not more comfortable than mine!" ”
Lin Xi glanced back at him and said, "The dragon chair in the Forbidden City is even more uncomfortable, how can it be comfortable in a high position?" ”
Xu Zhiheng turned the seat 90 degrees, so that his eyes were opposite Lin Xi, "So, I just want to be a little ordinary person." ”
"Now the scale of Hengsheng is not small."
"Hengsheng is to serve the task, and once the mission is over and enters the judicial process, Hengsheng will definitely not exist."
Lin Xi's shoulders on one side leaned on the window flute, and looked at Xu Zhiheng with his hands on his chest, "What are your plans after that?" Or you can consider considering Lin to help me. ”
"Forget it, don't scold me, where will the Lin family's life be better, you guys are fighting bloody, don't pull me in, I still want to live a stable life for a few days."
"Perhaps, you're already in the middle of the game?"
Xu Zhiheng's eyes constricted, "What do you mean?" ”
"The ring you proposed to is the ring of the Lin family's housewife, the old man has been romantic all his life, and has made several rooms for his wife, in order to avoid fighting, this ring has not been taken out, everyone guesses all the way that the old man will hand over the ring to the daughter-in-law of which room, which room is the new helmsman of the Lin family. Now that it has been delivered to you, several people can't help but think about a lot of things. Lin Xi didn't say anything, but his consciousness was already obvious.
"Including you?"
Lin Xidan smiled silently, staring at Xu Zhiheng.
"Nerves, do you Lin family really regard yourself as an emperor? That's a ring, not a jade seal, and it can't pass on the throne. I think Lin Dong just saw that you had reached the point where your brain was abnormal in order to compete for the family business, so he chose to take out the ring for auction, and simply let it go to outsiders, so as not to think about it all day long. ”
Xu Zhiheng sat up from the chair, and continued: "Anyway, no matter what you say, I won't return this ring, it is my engagement ring, it has been given to my wife, and it can only be the heirloom ring of my Xu family in the future." Not negotiable. ”
Lin Xi saw that Xu Zhiheng didn't accept the offer, and smiled: "Don't ask for you, isn't this idle chat?" Say, what's the matter with me on a big Sunday morning? Is there movement over there? ”
"The 200 million I said before will be traded this afternoon, but I will deal with these things, so you don't have to worry about it. I'm looking for you for two main things. Xu Zhiheng patted a scroll on the table and said: "You help me give this to Lin Dong, whether it is a heart, or a return gift, in short, I hope he is as healthy as a pine and cypress." ”
Lin Xi opened the scroll and looked at it, it was Zhang Daqian's pine and cypress picture auctioned by Xu Zhiheng at the auction.
Xu Zhiheng gave another document to Lin Xi, "And this, you sign it, and the 10% shares of the Lin family are yours." ”
"What are you?"
"It's not for you, remember to put the money on my account."
"Alright, let's go." Xu Zhiheng stood up, looked back at the leather chair and said, "Seriously, let's change it!" It's not comfortable at all, maybe the one in the chairman's office is suitable for you to sit. Shoot when it's time to strike! Don't wait. ”
"Is there anything the old man has anything to say for you?" Lin Xi asked with the scroll.
Xu Zhiheng turned around and smiled faintly, "You told him that the friendship between gentlemen is as light as water." ”
Using Zhang Daqian's painting to return Lin Xiaotian's set of antique porcelain from Royal Dalton, the old man earned it, and the shares were returned to Lin Xi's hands, he didn't owe anything to the Lin family, and he didn't want to have anything to do with them. Lin Xiaotian is not stupid, he should understand.
……
After finishing her boxing practice in the gym, Milo walked across the stone street and walked down the central avenue, the tall and straight plane trees on both sides, casting dappled shadows in the sunlight.
Situ Teng saw Milo from a distance and asked the driver to drive over to slow down, he opened the window and poked his head out, "Xiao Luo." ”
Milo turned his head and smiled, "Situ." ”
"Where to go? I'll send you. ”
Milo smiled and shook his head, "No, I'm just going for a walk." ”
Situ Teng opened the car door and got out of the lane: "Then you don't mind, I'll be with you, right?" ”
Milo was stunned for a moment, "Don't you have anything important to do?" Am I going to delay you? ”
"No, I just wanted to relax after being busy, as long as you don't dislike me."
"How so? Let's go! Milo continued down the street.
Situ Teng followed her side at the same speed as her, walking in the fine sunlight. It had been a long, long time since he had taken such a leisurely walk.
"You're really wandering around with no purpose!"
Milo smiled and said: "Actually, it's not completely purposeless, these streets used to be concessions, the buildings are very distinctive, and I like these plane trees on the side of the road, in fact, I have been walking along the plane trees." ”
"And what about the end?"
"The end, I haven't thought about it yet, I just think the sun is just right, I want to walk casually, as for the end, I'll think about it when I'm tired." Milo laughed.
"Won't you be hungry? I see you've just finished exercising. Stuart looked at Milo's sportswear.
"Ahh If you don't mention it, I don't think I'm really hungry when you say it. ”
Situ Teng's hand was on Milo's shoulder, "Let's go!" Go to eat. Choose one of the cravings on your phone. ”
Milo smiled, "You remember! ”
"Bring me the phone, I'll pick one." Situ Teng naturally spread out his palms.
Milo took out his mobile phone from his satchel, and although he was a little hesitant in his heart, he still handed it to Situ Teng as if nothing happened.
Situ Teng turned the pages very seriously, "How come you have so many things you want to eat?" Xu always doesn't give you enough food every day? ”
As he spoke, he looked at the photo album of his mobile phone naturally, and soon flipped to the photo with his parents that Milo had shown him before. His finger lingered on this photo for a while, according to his subsequent investigation, Milo's parents got married at the age of 25, and had no children after marriage, and at the age of 30, he adopted Milo's brother by chance, and after another 8 years, Milo's mother became pregnant at the age of 38, and later gave birth to Milo.
And the most intriguing thing is that Milo was not born in J City, but in a county town 300 kilometers away from J City, where the medical conditions are far from J City, but the Mi family chose there, so it has to be doubted about their starting point. Unfortunately, the medical record keeping there was not done well, and he did not find a birth record about Milo to confirm or disprove his speculation.
"Have you chosen?" Milo is 165 tall, while Stuart is nearly 190, and Milo has to stand on tiptoe in sneakers to see Stuart see the page.
At the moment when Milo stood on tiptoe and looked over, Situ Teng's fingers swiped to the next picture, "That's it!" ”
Milo looked at it and said, "But this one is in Liufu Mountain!" ”
"So what, it shouldn't take an hour to drive over now." Situ Teng's car kept slowly following him and Milo, he pulled Milo to the front of the car, opened the door, "Let's go!" ”
The car quickly drove away from the central avenue and entered the Liufu Mountain Highway, Milo looked at the scenery outside the window that kept speeding by, and remembered that time when she and Xu Zhiheng used the eighteen mountain roads to drift in order to get rid of the tracked lane, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but hook up.
"What are you thinking, thinking so intrigued?"
Milo Waner, "It's nothing, I remember that not long ago, Xu Zhiheng and I also entered Liufu Mountain, and he was very competitive and competent. ”
"Oh? Drag racing on this road seems to be a bit more dangerous. Aren't you afraid? ”
"No, it's exciting! Dumped three cars chasing us in a row, but it was enjoyable! ”
Situ Teng already knew what was going on, and it was Li Ming, a fool, who did a good job, but not only was he discovered, but he also made people play like fools, and in the end he came to a conclusion that was too exciting.
He curled the corners of his lips and said casually: "I think next time you should not do such a dangerous thing, if something happens, it may be more troublesome than being chased behind." ”
Milo nodded, and said without any intention: "Yes, you are right, anyway, they will appear in front of my house early the next morning, thinking about it is really unnecessary." So, it didn't matter later. ”
Situ Teng felt that his face was all lost by Li Ming, and he knew from beginning to end that he was following people to the people who were being followed, and it was not that people couldn't get rid of them but they were too lazy to let them follow, these people are not a group of waste?
"What do you want to eat for a while? Is it just the ones in the picture? He simply changed the subject.
After discussing with Milo for a while, the car arrived.
This is a farmhouse-like restaurant, the most simple decoration, simple wooden tables and chairs, the owner is a fisherman couple, all the seafood is fresh from the fishing boat that day. The food is cooked with the least amount of seasoning, the simplest cooking method, and what you eat is the umami of the food itself.
According to the results of the discussion he had just discussed with Situ Teng, Milo ordered steamed grouper, boiled bamboo shrimp, a basket of clams and a seafood porridge.
The food came up quickly, and Milo said while helping Situ Teng prepare the dipping sauce: "Do you know why his family is on my must-eat list?" The main reason is that this dipping sauce is said to be the boss's unique secret recipe, and it can't be eaten anywhere else. So, you should definitely give it a try. ”
Situ Teng still eats very little, and most of the time he bends the corners of his mouth to watch Milo eat, "Now that your parents and brother are abroad, you are alone here in J City, don't you miss them?" ”
Seeing that Situ Teng had turned the topic to his family again, Milo couldn't help but feel nervous, she pretended to shrug her shoulders relaxed and said, "It's okay!" Now communication is so developed. ”
She took a small bowl and gave Situ Teng a bowl of porridge and said, "Drink some porridge!" Drinking porridge is good for appetite. You should be like me, and it is a blessing to be able to eat. ”
Situ Teng smiled and nodded, "Okay, just like you!" ”
Milo continued to peel shrimp with her head down and eat it, as long as she didn't mention her family, she didn't matter.
"Actually, who are your parents with such a hearty personality?"
Milo was annoyed by the fact that he couldn't avoid this kind of topic, so he tilted his head and said, "Like who?" It seems like no one. ”
"It doesn't look alike, and its personality doesn't look alike, you won't be hugged, right?" Situ Teng pretended to be joking tentatively.
"My niece follows my aunt, and I follow my aunt." Milo blurted out.
Situ Teng's heart skipped a beat, "Your aunt? Why haven't I heard you mention it before? ”
"My aunt immigrated to New Zealand a long time ago, and she hasn't been back for years, and we haven't been to see her for several years, so there hasn't been a lot of contact."
"Do you look like your aunt?"
"It's not very similar, right, but when we went out together, people would think we were sisters, and my aunt was so young."
"I'm a little curious for you to say that, do you have a picture of her, let me see if you really look like two sisters."
"No, didn't I say it last time, I don't like photography, and I haven't been to see her in years, and the last time I went, I didn't seem to have a smartphone."
"That's a bit of a shock."
Situ Teng lowered his head and began to concentrate on drinking porridge, Milo also focused on the delicious food in front of her, when she was not paying attention, Situ Teng took out his mobile phone and sent a message to Ah Bao, "Investigate Milo's aunt and give me a detailed information as soon as possible." ”
At the same time, at the port of J City, Xu Zhiheng and Li Ming were standing at the wharf to receive the goods, this was a container of foreign wine, the container was unloaded to the freight yard, Li Ming opened the door of the container, walked in to open a box of wine, took out the wine placed on the first floor, and exposed the banknotes inside to Xu Zhiheng.
"Each box is 1 million, here are 200 boxes, Mr. Xu, you can count it."
Xu Zhiheng picked his chin and motioned for Ah Wei and Han Yu to come over.
He turned around and walked out of the container, stood at the door of the container, bowed his head and lit a cigarette, silently watching them count the boxes one by one. I just received a message from Milo that she and Situ Teng went to Liufu Mountain for dinner. Situ Teng chose this time of the transaction, obviously wanting to get rid of the relationship with this matter, this old fox.
Han Yu walked out of the container and said, "Mr. Xu, no problem." ”
Xu Zhiheng nodded, "Seal the box, find someone to take care of it." ”
Li Ming took out a list and handed it to Xu Zhiheng and said, "Mr. Xu, please sign it to prove that you have received the goods." ”
Xu Zhiheng took the list and looked at it, and found that the other party was signed by Li Ming, and there was no signature of Situ Teng on it at all, so he immediately handed the list to Ah Wei, who had just walked over, "You go over there and Lawyer Li to complete the formalities, Han Yu, let's go first." ”
Ah Wei pursed his lips and took the list, took out a pen from his pocket, signed his name in duplicate, and handed one of them back to Li Ming.
At this time, Han Yu had already driven away with Xu Zhiheng in the car.
There are only a few guards left in the container factory, and Ah Wei locked the container again, and explained that the person headed by him is optimistic and not sloppy. After that, he looked at Li Ming, who hadn't left yet, "Come with me for a drink." ”
He didn't wait for Li Ming to answer, so he got into the car first.
Li Ming lowered his eyes and didn't speak, followed behind Ah Monster, and got into his car.
The two of them went out of the container factory one after the other, and Ah Wei's car adjusted the rearview mirror in the car, and saw that Li Ming's car was following him, bent his lower lip, and stepped on the accelerator to speed up.
Li Ming also followed suit, and came to the night to put on heavy makeup.
Ah Wei walked in front and found a seat in the corner booth, "Whiskey on the rocks." He instructed the waiter.
Li Ming came to the booth after him and sat directly next to him, "The same." He said to the waiter.
Soon the waiter brought the wine, and Ah Wei shook the wine in the glass, and called the waiter and said, "You can just bring the whole bottle!" ”
Li Ming was slightly surprised, he and Ah Wei drank, and at most, they drank two glasses together silently, and then left separately. The whole bottle of wine, they had never tried it before.
Ah Wei lit a cigarette for himself and threw the cigarette case on the table near Li Ming, "This is one of the few bars in J City that will open in the afternoon!" It is also the only bar that can be impressive without a club viewing. ”
Li Ming touched the cigarette that Ah Wei put on the table and lit one, "Isn't it drunk love?" ”
Ah Wei tugged at the corners of his mouth and said: "The drunken master is sloppy, you don't know what his background is, just say that it is the golden basin to wash his hands, but Yu Wei is still there, and everyone gives him a little face." To this day, drunken love can be so peaceful, relying on this residual power. ”
He raised his head violently and took a sip of the wine in the wine glass and said, "I didn't talk to Ma Sloppy about this scene at the beginning. To be honest, whether it's drunk love or Hengsheng, this country is not something I helped him fight with one hand and one foot. But now? You also saw his attitude just now, right? Hmph, Han Yu! What's so good about that Erlenzi? Does he have a brain? ”
Ah Wei pointed to his temple with a finger holding a cigarette, "Our buddies are brain-eaters!" What is his recklessness? Why did it climb on my head? Why, you say? ”
Ah Monster's words deeply touched Li Ming, his current situation is similar to Ah Monster, he was idle by Situ Tengtou, but it was Ah Leopard who had always only known how to fight and kill. He Situ Teng didn't want to think about it, Shenglian has been able to have today's situation over the years, relying on whose strategy, and who has been busy for so many years?
Thinking of this, Li Ming took a sip of the wine in the glass, picked up the wine bottle on the table, refilled it for Ah Wei and himself, raised the wine glass and shook it at Ah Wei.
Ah Wei also picked up the wine glass, clinked glasses with Li Ming, and the two of them drank it again.
"I'm not bragging, he Xu Zhiheng has at least half of the country, and he relied on me to beat him, but now, what does he take me for? Dogs are inferior! ”
Li Ming staggered while pouring wine: "The same, the same." When Situ Teng took over Shenglian from the old man, Shenglian was a fart in J City, and it wasn't that I helped him plan all the way to the present, so that he had today's status, but what about the blink of an eye? People picked up the big guy's money, and we only had to kneel and bark. If you say that you will go to the family law, you will go to the family law, and if you say that you will enter the cold palace, you will enter the cold palace, where will I put my face? ”
"Face? You're funny! We are not as good as a slave as a dog, where do we get face? You feel like you're a little thin in front of other minions, and I'm telling you, it's all an illusion. ”
Ah Wei shook the whiskey glass that reflected the golden liquor, lit a cigarette between his fingers, and said with a look of seeing through the world: "I have figured it out, if you want to make yourself truly face-saving, there is only one way, do you know what it is?" ”
Li Ming was drunk and shook his head mechanically.
Ah Monster's hand was on his shoulder, and he said in a low voice: "I'll tell you, be your boss, only in this way can you have face and face, and you have to have a lining." I'm the opposite, what's the matter? Am I handsless, feetless, or brainless? In terms of funds, buddies have accumulated a lot over the years, why can't they be their own boss! ”
Saying that, Ah Wei became emotional, slapped the table and said, "It's the opposite!" I'm going to reverse it today! To hell with him! I'm not going to serve anymore! No more waiting! ”
Li Ming's emotions were infected by him, and he also echoed: "Yes, don't wait!" I'm not going to wait! Lao Tzu can obviously be a gold medal lawyer that everyone admires, why should he be called around after him? Do you really think I can't live without him? ”
He leaned over and whispered in Ah Wei's ear: "I'll tell you, he really can't live without me, if I hadn't helped him plan all the way and exploited the loopholes of the law, he would have gone in ten times eight times." ”
"Yes, yes. I thought we were dependent on them to live, but in fact, on the contrary, without our help, they were immediately stupid! ”
"Yes, immediately stupid!" Li Ming's voice suddenly became extremely low, "Let me tell you, I have all the evidence of his crime in my hands, as long as he makes Lao Tzu unhappy, I will poke him out, and then he will wait to wash his ass and stay in prison for the rest of his life!" ”
Ah Monster's eyes flashed with cunning quickly, he hung his head as if he hadn't heard it, picked up the wine glass in a daze, and shook it at Li Ming: "Come, drink!" ”
Li Ming also picked up the wine glass, "Drink!" ”
"Why cheers?" Ah Wei tilted his head to think, and laughed stupidly: "Sing for the turned serf, cheers!" ”
Li Ming also smirked, "Cheers!" ”
Ah Wei couldn't stop laughing hysterically, attracting the attention of other customers in the bar, "What are you looking at?" Haven't you seen anyone party? ”
Li Ming didn't know what to call and laughed, "Yes, yes, we want to carnival!" ! ”
Ah Wei stood up slowly, threw the wine money on the table, and pulled Li Ming up, "Let's go!" Walk! Walk! Let's switch, it's not fun here! Let's go somewhere else and have a good party. Li Bai said that life must be happy, and if I want to say that life is unsatisfactory, I must carnival. ”
"Yes, yes, yes, go to the party! Let's go party! Li Ming has not been so drunk for so many years, he always tightens himself up, I don't know why he was driven by A Monster today, he suddenly completely released his emotions.
The two of them came out of the night with heavy makeup over their necks, raised their hands to stop the car, and climbed into the back seat one after the other.
"Where to go? Where are we going? Monster almost muttered to himself.
Li Ming's current state is not much better than him, "Yes, where to go?" Where are we going? ”
The two of them suddenly realized a problem at the same time, they actually had no choice, they couldn't go to the fields of Drunken Love, they couldn't go to all the fields of Shenglian, and they couldn't go to the fields of other clubs, they didn't seem to have a place to go.
"Where?"
"Where?"
The two of them murmured, laughing at the same time.
The driver in front was unhappy, "I said that you two have thought about it, if you don't think about it, don't affect my work!" ”
Ah blame, chirp, pout, head dazed.
Li Ming barely opened his eyes and muttered an address.
Following.
Li Ming woke up with a splitting headache, his body was very heavy as if he was pressing something, he closed his eyes and pushed, wanting to turn around and go back to sleep, suddenly realized something, he opened his eyes suddenly. Ah Wei was lying on his stomach close to him and sleeping soundly, the corners of his mouth were still oozing crystal saliva, and his hands were pressing on his waist and abdomen.
Li Ming's brain "buzzed", and he woke up with any wine!
Tu Mingxin says:
In the end, I'm evil!
