The venue for the dinner was set on the Star Coast.

Liang Zhaoyue was still in a trance when she heard this name, this place was the beginning of her acquaintance with Zhou Yunchuan.

After more than three months, recalling the night she first met Zhou Yunchuan, she still remembers the sight he cast that night.

It's cold and cold.

It was the beginning of her infatuation and heart for him.

The car arrived at the Star Coast, got out of the car, and the two walked side by side towards the clubhouse.

Xu Mingheng's position was on the 16th floor, and while waiting for the elevator, Liang Zhaoyue's eyes moved back and forth on the frosted marble floor and Zhou Yunchuan, as if he had something to say, but he didn't know what to say.

After such a long time, when the elevator arrived on the first floor and the door opened, the two walked in front and back to stand still, Zhou Yunchuan pressed the button on the 16th floor, and the door slowly closed, but she still didn't speak.

The elevator rises at a constant speed, the compartment is quiet, and the blurred figures of the two people are reflected on the elevator wall.

After a moment of silence, Zhou Yunchuan turned his face to look at her, and asked calmly: "What do you want to say?" ”

Liang Zhaoyue raised her head and met his clear eyes, stunned.

Zhou Yunchuan said patiently: "I hesitated for so long just now, what do you want to say?" ”

She rubbed her fingertips against her woolen pants, rubbed them back and forth, and said, "What shall I say if your friend asks about our relationship later?" ”

He didn't seem to expect her to be entangled in this area, raised his eyebrows slightly, and said, "They won't ask more, if someone embarrasses you, remember to tell me." ”

The amount of information in the words was too large, Liang Zhaoyue digested it for a long time, deliberately ignored the first half of the sentence, and focused on the second half of his sentence, she couldn't help asking: "Why?" ”

The words fell, the elevator clanged, and the 16th floor arrived.

The door slowly slid open to both sides, Zhou Yunchuan was not in a hurry to go out, he turned sideways slightly, looked at Liang Zhaoyue, his expression was slightly restrained, and he said unhurriedly: "The people I brought over have no reason to be bullied." ”

After the words fell, he stepped out of the elevator alone. After taking two steps, seeing that there was no movement behind him, he turned back.

Liang Zhaoyue stood in the elevator in a daze, looking in her direction blankly, with a sudden expression.

He was silent for two seconds, then turned and walked over to her, reaching out to hold the elevator door frame, delaying the elevator door closing, and asking her, "What's wrong?" ”

Liang Zhaoyue found that this was the sentence he talked to the most - "What's wrong." ”

What can she do, it's just that her heart is in him.

She shook her head, stepped out of the elevator door, and said, "It's nothing, it's just a little ...... Nervous. ”

When he heard this, he felt very novel, as if he remembered something, and asked, "You also reacted to me when you saw me before?" Will you be nervous, is it because of fear? ”

She was stunned.

The hand hanging at his side clenched in vain.

It turns out that her crampedness and nervousness before were all seen by him, right?

Can he see what's going further behind these reactions?

For example, can he see her emotions?

Liang Zhaoyue is unknown.

I don't dare to guess at a deeper level.

There were two answers, and she didn't want to guess either one.

If she didn't know, she would have been sad and disappointed; But if he knows, then what kind of attitude does he have towards her emotions.

Zhou Yunchuan was still waiting for her answer, she clenched her hands, took a secret breath, and said, "It's a little, but I have more respect and admiration for you." ”

A very polite sentence, coupled with her attitude of neither humility nor arrogance, Zhou Yunchuan didn't think much about it and said, "Go in." ”

He walked forward, turned the hallway, and continued on his way.

Liang Zhaoyue followed behind him, and she was thinking several times that his reaction just now was too flat, did he listen to her words, or didn't he?

She still doesn't know.

-

In addition to Xu Mingheng and Meng Anan, there were two other men.

One is tall and thin, a doctor by profession, named Yao Chongjing; A man of medium stature has a tendency to gain weight, his profession is an investor, mainly doing venture capital, called Yu Hao. The two of them are very interesting to talk to, giving people the feeling of being so close, and there is no sense of distance.

After introducing each other, Yao Chongjing said: "Zhou Yunchuan, you are too unauthentic. Such a beautiful wife is reluctant to bring it out to show us. ”

Liang Zhaoyue blushed and looked at Zhou Yunchuan.

Zhou Yunchuan glanced at her, moved his gaze to Yao Chongjing, and said nonchalantly: "Do you need me to talk to Jiang Yao?" ”

Liang Zhaoyue was puzzled who Jiang Yao was, Meng Anan whispered to her and bit her ear, saying, "It's Yao Chongjing's wife." ”

When Yao Chongjing heard this, he instantly died down: "Yaoyao has been under too much pressure at work recently, and she is suspicious, don't create family problems for me." ”

Zhou Yunchuan smiled faintly.

Over there, Yu Hao took over and said: "Lao Zhou, I'm not curious about your marriage, you tell me the truth, where did you deceive such a well-behaved person?" ”

Without waiting for Zhou Yunchuan to speak, Meng Anan hurriedly replied: "Mouse, you speak politely, what is a lie, my brother and sister-in-law are called long-term love, you single dog will not understand." ”

As soon as these words came out, except for the three parties involved, everyone else was dumbfounded.

Especially Xu Mingheng, who has not spoken.

He knows Zhou Yunchuan better than anyone else.

What kind of person is Zhou Yunchuan, he is known for his indifferent temperament, he has never seen him care about anyone for so many years, and he doesn't even have a rumored girlfriend. He has always taken his feelings very lightly, on the one hand, because of family reasons, and on the other hand, he pays more attention to work.

In terms of appearance, family background, personal ability, etc., he is a very outstanding person in their circle, and it stands to reason that his emotional resume should not be blank. But that's exactly what happened.

It's the only one in their circle.

Several times, Xu Mingheng saw that he was urged by his family to go on a blind date again and again, arrange a partner, and also asked him.

Zhou Yunchuan's answer to this was that he was not interested.

Ten years of answering a sentence, there is no reason to change the hexagram temporarily, or there is an accident on the way. What's more, he and Liang Zhaoyue have only known each other for more than three months, and the number of times they have met is only a handful, where did they come from to fall in love for a long time?

It is more convincing to say that it was love at first sight.

But will Zhou Yunchuan be the type of love at first sight?

Xu Mingheng's answer was no.

He looked at Zhou Yunchuan and Liang Zhaoyue, full of suspicions.

Liang Zhaoyue and Meng Anan were talking here, and occasionally they could notice Xu Mingheng on the other side looking at her from time to time, and when she looked over, he looked away like a nobody.

Although she was puzzled, she also guessed part of the reason.

I'm afraid he didn't expect to meet again, she and Zhou Yunchuan would change from the original strangers to husband and wife.

After eating, Yao Chongjing and Yu Hao had temporary problems at their respective work, and left in a hurry after answering the phone.

The two who are the most good at making the atmosphere left, leaving the four of them, sitting for a while, Zhou Yunchuan and Xu Mingheng went to the conference room next door to talk about work, leaving Liang Zhaoyue and Meng Anan to sit on the terrace, watching the scenery and eating fruit at the same time.

In the afternoon, the temperature is warmer than in the morning.

Meng Anan took a bite of the apple and suddenly asked, "Zhaoyue, what is it like to marry my brother?" ”

Liang Zhaoyue paused for a moment and said, "It feels good." ”

"That's good." Meng Anan said, "It's good to be able to marry someone you like." ”

This sentence went to Liang Zhaoyue's heart, but when she thought of the essence of this marriage, her heart became bitter again.

After a while, Meng An'an saw her preoccupied look and said, "Do you want to hear the secret I told you last time?" ”

The whispering between the two of them was suddenly interrupted because of the appearance of Zhou Yunchuan that day, and Liang Zhaoyue thought about asking later, but he forgot about this stubble when he was busy with the topic of the thesis these days. She nodded, "You say." ”

Meng Anan deliberately sold a pass: "How much do you like my brother?" ”

Liang Zhaoyue's eyes widened suddenly, and at the same time she clenched the tissue in her hand.

Seeing this, Meng Anan pursed his lips and smiled: "It seems that I like it very much." My brother is so lucky to have you like him so much. ”

Liang Zhaoyue lowered her head and didn't speak, but her ears quietly turned red.

Meng Anan didn't continue to tease her, saying: "What I told you that day is true, you are indeed the first opposite sex that my brother brought home." ”

Liang Zhaoyue asked her doubts: "He hasn't been in a relationship with anyone before?" ”

"Well, for so many years, he didn't have a close friend of the opposite sex. In the past, there were several people who took the initiative to chase him, but they were enthusiastic, but my brother pinched out all possibilities with a cold face. ”

This was beyond Liang Zhaoyue's expectations.

After all, his appearance and ability are excellent, and in the case of good hard conditions, his alienation and indifference seem to be impersonal, which makes people feel a sense of distance. But it is also this sense of distance that adds layers of filters and mystery to him, so as to attract people to approach him and understand him.

It's hard to imagine that his past relationship history will be a blank slate.

Meng Anan said: "I'm not helping my brother lie to you, he has indeed been alone before I met you." Otherwise, the family would not have tried every possible way to arrange a partner for him over the years. ”

Liang Zhaoyue hesitated for a few seconds and asked, "Why has he always been alone?" ”

This question seems to have crossed the line a bit, or it has troubled Meng An'an, she didn't talk about it as eloquently as before, but was a little embarrassed. Liang Zhaoyue was about to speak, but she asked first: "Has my brother told you about the family?" ”

Liang Zhaoyue shook her head: "No." ”

She said: "The situation at home is a little complicated, since my brother didn't tell you, maybe he has his considerations, I won't talk much, and he should tell you when the time is right in the future." ”

Liang Zhaoyue didn't dwell on this issue too much, and asked rhetorically: "How enthusiastic were the people who chased your brother before?" ”

Meng Anan was stunned for a while, a little puzzled: "Zhaoyue, why are you asking this?" Don't get me wrong, my brother really didn't look at those people squarely. ”

Liang Zhaoyue hurriedly waved her hand and said, "No, no, I mean ......" After a pause, she said, "I want to know how enthusiastic those people are, if your brother dislikes this, I will try to avoid it in the future." ”

Liang Zhaoyue has never chased anyone, and she doesn't know what it's like to chase someone.

Since her parents divorced and she lived with her grandfather, in addition to studying, the rest of her leisure time was occupied by various part-time jobs, and those ups and downs had nothing to do with her, and she had no time to participate.

But now it's different.

Perhaps it was Meng An'an's words that gave her courage.

Since Zhou Yunchuan had always been a person before, he suddenly chose to marry her by agreement, in addition to the difficulties encountered by the two of them could help each other solve them, in addition, Liang Zhaoyue had another idea that he couldn't think of before.

Isn't she a little different to him?

Otherwise, he had so many choices, why did he choose her?

Meng Anan said: "Zhaoyue! I can see that you and my brother must love my brother a little more. ”

Isn't it, she thought.

"For the sake of me preferring your brother, can you tell me?"

"No problem, I'll tell you......"

-

At the same time, the conference room.

Zhou Yunchuan finished reading the information of the preliminary due diligence of Huanshi Technology, closed the folder, and said: "Since Austrian Technology wants to transfer the risk of mergers and acquisitions, we don't have to back down in terms of shareholding and board members. ”

Xu Mingheng said: "Okay, I'll talk to the Austrian side again, I think they are imperative to acquire Huanshi Technology, and there is still room for negotiation." ”

The main business of Austrian science and technology is smart transportation, as the leader of domestic smart transportation, these years it is developing technology, while relying on capital expansion, the development of enterprises is getting stronger and stronger, and now it is looking at the field of security, and as a leader in the field of security around the technology, it is naturally targeted. After the preliminary market research, the prospect of Huanshi Technology is very good, which is very in line with the target object of the Austrian acquisition. To this end, Austrian Technology has specially found Yunhe Capital and intends to form a "PE+ listed company" M&A fund to acquire Huanshi Technology. （*1）

With the development of M&A funds in China in recent years, today's "PE + listed company" model is a kind of transfer of M&A risks for PE companies. （*2）

Zhou Yunchuan nodded, picked up the cigarette case, knocked a cigarette and lit it, took a puff, he sandwiched it between his fingers, and said, "How is the situation of Rongjing Electronics' listing counseling?" ”

"It's going well," Xu Mingheng also lit a cigarette and said matter-of-factly, "Speaking of this, Lu Ping complained to me a few days ago that the newcomers under his hands are not as reliable as Liang Zhaoyue's intern." ”

These words were obviously digging a pit and waiting for him to jump in, but Zhou Yunchuan didn't pay attention to it.

Fortunately, Xu Mingheng also knew his temperament, and said, "Tell me honestly, how did you hook up with Liang Zhaoyue?" even got married to her directly. Don't tell me that you fell in love with her at first sight, or that you fell in love with her, I don't know you yet, emotionally indifferent guy. ”

Zhou Yunchuan shook the ash of his cigarette, heard the words, glanced at him, and continued to smoke in silence.

Xu Mingheng was not in a hurry, and continued: "I heard from my friend in the notary office that Jiang Bai helped you deal with the gift and transfer of several properties, tell me, what is going on with you and Liang Zhaoyue?" ”

Zhou Yunchuan said lightly: "You know everything, why bother asking." ”

Xu Mingheng did guess that the marriage between the two was probably a paper agreement, but this would confirm that it was another thing, "You don't have to be so ruthless, right?" Isn't it just urging marriage to be tightened, I was also urged like this before, why did you suddenly change your mind this time? ”

Zhou Yunchuan took a heavy breath of cigarette, and slowly spit it out, in the smoke, his eyes narrowed slightly, and his tone was deep: "The old man has a good impression of her." ”

Xu Mingheng was happy: "In the past, there were more people who had a good impression of your grandmother, and there were not many far away, wasn't Lu Xiyuan one last time?" I didn't see you compromise. ”

"It's different."

"What's the difference?"

Zhou Yunchuan was silent for a while and said, "Be good, save trouble, do your duty." ”

Xu Mingheng listened to it and said, "Then it seems that you are boring to others?" But he still dragged people into this pit, I don't think Liang Zhaoyue looks at you ...... way" He thought for a while and said, "In the most popular words on the Internet nowadays, it is that she looks at you innocently, maybe she really has a deep affection for you, and if you do this, she will be guilty of it in the future." ”

Zhou Yunchuan smoked a cigarette.

Xu Mingheng made persistent efforts: "Really, just now at dinner, I saw her look at you several times, and when you were staring at a dish, she thought of a way to turn that dish in front of you." Didn't you notice? ”

After he said this, Zhou Yunchuan was indeed impressed.

Xu Mingheng said again: "If you are really not interesting to others, don't give people the illusion, just like you rejected those peach blossoms before, pinch off those dreamy bubbles in advance, and you can be regarded as accumulating virtue and doing good." ”

Zhou Yunchuan got up, put out the cigarette butt in the ashtray, and when he walked to the door, he paused for a moment and said, "Seeing that you are so good at analyzing feelings/things, why can't you go to your own side?" ”

Xu Mingheng was stunned.

Zhou Yunchuan held the door handle and pressed it down, and when the door opened, he left a faint sentence: "An An has been waiting for you outside for a long time." ”

After the words fell, he opened the door and walked out.
