126 Hypocrisy and Grievance
It rained all night and finally stopped in the morning.
The sky also showed the warm sun that had not been seen for a long time, and looking at the blue sky, people's mood was much better.
Xu Xin was woken up by a phone call from the warm bed.
Looking at the phone number, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, and finally called?
"Hey! Hello Mr. Zhao. β
"How is Xu Xin doing? I've heard all about you, and I'm sorry ......."
"Thank you, Mr. Zhao."
"By the way, what's going on today? Come out for a drink? β
Zhao Yating sent out an invitation.
"Okay!"
Although I have already guessed that Zhao Yating is the mastermind behind the whole thing.
But what exactly to do with her? Xu Xin also thought about it for a long time.
It is basically impossible to report to the police directly, because the police have to talk about evidence in handling cases.
He didn't have any evidence of Zhao Yating's behind-the-scenes instructions.
So, it's better to get close to her and look for opportunities.
And now, the opportunity has finally arrived......
At ten o'clock in the morning, Xu Xin came to a club near the Huangpu River.
reported his name at the front desk, and the beautiful front desk took him to a private room upstairs.
Zhao Yating has been waiting here for a long time, and this private room is very elegantly furnished.
Green wall paint, mahogany on the lower half, brown leather sofa, ceiling fan, blinds.
Through the shutters, you can see the Huangpu River in the distance.
The entire private room is filled with a literary style, and there is an authentic old demon tone everywhere.
This Zhao Yating really knows how to choose a place.
"Xu Xin come and sit."
Seeing Xu Xin standing at the door, Zhao Yating greeted him warmly.
Xu Xin walked to the table with a smile, pulled out a chair and sat down.
"Today, let's have an English brunch tea, I used to eat it often when I was studying in the Yin Kingdom, and I thought it was very difficult to eat at the time."
"But I don't know why, after returning to China, I miss this taste very much."
"I just don't know if you like it or not."
Zhao Yating said with a smile while pouring him a cup of English black tea.
"Hah! Mr. Zhao's taste, that must not be wrong. Eat with you, yes. β
Xu Xin smiled and sent a sycophant, and at the same time skillfully added milk and honey to the black tea.
Zhao Yating said with a smile: "You really know how to say this mouth, yo!" Looking at your technique, you're pretty good at eating, aren't you? β
"Haha, I've eaten with others a few times before, so I probably know what's going on."
Xu Xin coped with a smile.
As they spoke, a waiter pushed a trolley into the private room and brought their brunch to the table.
In fact, it is the simplest ordinary English breakfast, two slices of toast and one scrambled egg.
Plus two sausages, a few slices of bacon, and the most soulful canned baked beans with tomatoes.
The fact that this thing can become the representative of the English breakfast fully reflects the lack of British food culture.
Xu Xin ate a few bites absentmindedly, and when he looked up, he just saw Zhao Yating looking at him with a smile.
"I've heard about your family, and I'm sorry for such a tragedy."
Zhao Yating said very officially.
"Thank you, Mr. Zhao, for your concern."
"Okay, let's not talk about that, people always have to look forward in life, and this has been going for a while."
"You came today, I think the recovery is also good."
"What did you think about my previous proposal?"
After a few simple greetings, Zhao Yating got straight to the point.
Xu Xin put down the knife and fork, and then looked at Zhao Yating very seriously.
"Mr. Zhao, I have a few questions, I hope you can answer me seriously."
"Oh? What questions, you ask? β
Zhao Yating picked up a piece of fried egg with a fork and put it in her mouth.
"Mr. Zhao, you said that you don't have any ideas about Tangfeng Group, and you just want to develop your own business."
"I want to ask you, is your idea true?"
The temperature in the private room dropped a few degrees Celsius.
Zhao Yating's eyes flashed with surprise, obviously she didn't expect Xu Xin to be so bold.
She put down her fork and looked at Xu Xin playfully for a while, then she suddenly sneered.
"Zhao Chunlei sent you?"
Xu Xin shook his head with a cold face.
"It has nothing to do with Mr. Zhao, this question is just what I want to ask."
"Actually, Mr. Zhao, you don't have to doubt who I am, I only represent myself."
"I... Not a fool! β
After speaking, Xu Xin didn't look at Zhao Yating, but picked up the bread.
For a while, in the room, there was only the sound of Xu Xin scraping butter on bread with a knife.
Xu Xin unhurriedly smeared the butter, picked up a spoon and scooped a spoonful of blueberry jam and spread it on the bread.
As soon as you take a bite, the crispy and charred bread makes a 'click' sound.
Not to mention that this thing gets sweeter the more you chew it, it's quite to his appetite......
"Alright! How do you see that? β
Zhao Yating, who was opposite, after a moment of mental construction, after taking a sip of milk tea.
Finally looked at Xu Xin and asked.
Xu Xin threw away the bread in his hand, picked up the milk tea and took a sip.
"Right after my kidnapping."
"The incident that I escaped from death a few days ago, Mr. Zhao, you don't know about it, right?"
While Xu Xin spoke, she kept staring at Zhao Yating's eyes.
And when Zhao Yating heard him say this, her face was very calm, and her eyes did not roll around.
"Of course I know about that case, after all, the killed Huang Peiran is my fiancΓ©."
Seeing her expression so calm, Xu Xin was even a little shaken.
Could it be that she really has nothing to do with Wang Sanqi......
He quickly stabilized his mind and was no longer confused by Zhao Yating's acting skills.
"The person who kidnapped me at that time asked Huang Peiran to sign an equity transfer agreement for the lithium mine."
"Later, I was curious, what does this person want this equity for? Wouldn't it be more realistic for him to ask for money? β
"In the past two days, I really couldn't help it, so I checked it on the Internet."
"I didn't expect this website to announce a change of executives, and they added a few new shareholders."
"I was curious to check the companies that hold shares, and guess what?"
The smile on Zhao Yating's face at this time gradually stiffened a little.
"What's wrong?"
Xu Xin continued to smile and said: "As a result, I found out one of the companies called Zhien, and there is a major shareholder named Candace Zhao. β
"Coincidentally, you say? The English name is just like yours! β
Xu Xin said with a playful face.
Zhao Yating was silent for a moment, and then clapped her hands at him.
'Bang Bang Bang'
"Your control of details is really extraordinary, and you can find it."
"Looks like I missed ......"
Xu Xin smiled and took out the cigarette case and stroked at Zhao Yating: "Do you mind?" β
Zhao Yating stretched out her hand: "Give me one too." β
It's okay to smoke in a private room like this.
Xu Xin lit a cigarette, took a hard puff, and looked at Zhao Yating through the smoke that rose from the faint sky.
"So then I was thinking, you said that you are not interested in Tangfeng Group, is it true?"
Zhao Yating also took a puff of cigarette, and then spit out a smoke ring very elegantly.
Then he looked at the smoke ring that was drifting away.
"Do you think that a person like me, who was born with a golden spoon, will be very happy?"
Xu Xin nodded and shook his head again.
Zhao Yating flicked the cigarette ash into the teacup in front of her.
"To outsiders, we are happy, but in reality?"
"Only we know that we are the tools of the family, the canaries that are raised......"
