give me years of peace

Chapter 174 Xie's Bank
The press conference was very lively, because the Xin family had previously revealed that it was rumored to acquire the Xie family and enter the banking industry, but now the Xie family has completely resolved the crisis and seems to be flourishing, which had to attract a group of media scrambling to watch .

What's more, Miss Mi Li stood beside Xie Chenjin in a water-blue diamond-encrusted slanted-shoulder dress. She smiled gracefully, charming and elegant, and her eyes were full of charm. The pair of Christian Louboutin red-soled shoes on her feet was the focus of the audience.

Her demeanor showed her unique charm, and the emerald earrings in her ears swayed gently with every smile of hers.

Many people came to the press conference, but to everyone's surprise, Jin Haiguo, the mayor of City A, also came.It is said that because the Xie family donated a large sum of money to use in public welfare projects in city A, the mayor came here to give a speech of thanks.

As Xie Chenjin's friend, Jin Shaonan also came to the press conference.

With the previous press conference of Xin's as a comparison, Xie Chenjin intends to compare Xin's, completely smashing the rumors that Xin's going to acquire Xie's, and also made many shareholders regain their confidence in Xie's Bank.

At the press conference, Xie Chenjin was full of joy, smiling generously and calmly. Unlike Xin Zimo's seriousness, he gave people more of an approachable feeling.

After the speech, as usual, he answered questions from reporters. Xie Chenjin did not leave the venue, but chose several important and interesting questions to answer.Mi Li accompanied him all the way, and answered cooperation questions from time to time.

It was an eye-opener for the media reporters, and those with good intentions even put the photos of Xin Zimo and Xie Chenjin on the media for comparison.

They are all outstanding young talents in City A, and they all have an enviably handsome face, but one is self-made and the other is a family business, but they are all legends and myths of City A.

But when Xie Chenjin scanned the audience, he knew that the woman still didn't come.

Mi Li stayed with Xie Chenjin until the end of the press conference. When she went to the restaurant for dinner, she held Xie Chenjin's arm and blinked: "Chenjin, do you have something on your mind?"

Xie Chenjin hid all the profundity in his eyes, and he smiled slightly: "Of course I have something on my mind. I'm thinking about how to do the follow-up work well, so as to restore the Xie family to the way it was before, even better than before."

"Really? I don't think that's what you think." Mi Li laughed.

"Then what else can I think about." Xie Chenjin walked towards the dining table, where someone was already waiting.

"Based on a woman's intuition, I guess you are thinking of a woman." Mi Li said with a half-smile.

"Is your intuition accurate?" Xie Chenjin smiled.

"Most of them are quite accurate." Mi Li said, "Actually, I'm not the only one who is curious about why a talent in the financial sector in City A, a returnee from a famous school, and the CEO of Xie Bank has no girlfriend so far, and even a scandal. No?"

"Do you think I have time to fall in love?" Xie Chenjin laughed it off.

"Really?" Mi Li clearly saw that Xie Chenjin was perfunctory, and there was no time.

But she didn't continue to ask, everyone at the table had already arrived.They are all rich and powerful businessmen and officials from City A, and several ladies who are as beautiful as Mi Li.

Xie Chenjin's way of life is completely different from Xin Zimo's. Xin Zimo relies on his strength and skills, while Xie Chenjin relies on his circle and connections.

The news about the press conference of Xie Bank was overwhelming, and Du Anran also saw the news reports after returning home.Xie Chenjin is still a gentleman as always, a handsome young man.Mi Li is also much prettier than the last time she saw her. She is both talented and beautiful, and she deserves to attract media coverage.

Of course, I was a little surprised to see Uncle Jin at the press conference, and Bai Ruyun was also a little surprised when he saw it.

However, Du Anran expected that Xie Chenjin and Jin Shaonan were good friends, and the cooperation between Xie Chenjin and Uncle Jin was a matter of course.

It's just that she thought of the Jinpan Garden project again. Last time, Xin Zimo said that because of Uncle Jin, the project couldn't be started at all, and the huge amount of money that Xin invested in the early stage was all locked up.

Du Anran is not a little girl who doesn't know anything about business, she knows what a huge initial investment is.

She also understood the man's painstaking efforts. Although he forced her and even forced her to beg him, he still loves her after all.

For her father's last wish, he stopped several profitable projects of the Xin family, and allocated all human and financial resources to the Jinpan Garden project.

It's a pity that she realized it too late, she had already made an unforgivable mistake.

After returning from London, Du Anran didn't sleep very well, and often couldn't sleep all night.It's still the same today, she sleeps very restlessly, sometimes she falls asleep with difficulty, and she also has nightmares.

In the middle of the night, she tossed and turned and looked at the stars outside the window, and her eye sockets were inexplicably swollen.

It was just after two o'clock at night when I received Xie Chenjin's call. Du Anran woke up after sleeping for a while, just in time for the phone to vibrate on the bedside.

She was slightly surprised, but still picked up the phone.

"You still haven't come..." Without waiting for her to speak, Xie Chenjin spoke, his tone was very weak, with a hint of disappointment.

"I'm sorry." Du Anran was also an understatement.

Xie Chenjin seemed to be drunk. On such an important day today, he must have drank a lot with the guests.

"What are you sorry for me? I am too proud." Xie Chenjin lay on the back seat of the car in a daze, and let the driver take him home.

"It's so late, you should go to bed early." Du Anran knew that he was drunk.

"You chat with me..." There was no one around Xie Chenjin, and when the song ended, he felt a great loneliness.

"I'll talk about it tomorrow if I have anything to say." Du Anran knew that a person likes to talk nonsense when he is drunk. Although Xie Chenjin's wine tastes good, she was really afraid that he would say something unpleasant.

Just like last time, he forced her to go to the press conference.

She also couldn't understand this man.

"Du Anran... I regret meeting you..." Xie Chenjin's tone was weak, sounding helpless and hesitant.

Du Anran didn't understand what he said, so her heart was turbulent.She said lightly, "You're drunk..."

She hung up the phone, feeling helpless with nowhere to go.

Xie Chenjin didn't call again, he leaned on the seat of the car in a daze, the surrounding streets were already deserted, and the driver drove through this familiar city.

The loneliness and confusion with nowhere to escape hit his face like a dense net, restraining him so hard that he couldn't breathe.

He closed his eyes, with a trace of helplessness in the corner of his mouth.

In a blink of an eye, the Lantern Festival is here. City A is an ancient city, and there will be many rich programs every time the Lantern Festival comes.Especially in front of several ancient city gates in City A.

Limen is the city gate with the longest history in City A. Every year, the day before the Lantern Festival, lanterns and festoons are decorated here, and various activities are held here.

All kinds of lanterns are hung all over the city tower, colorful and really beautiful.

Liu Wanwan made an appointment with Du Anran early on to watch the lanterns and programs.

Du Anran felt that it was not good to be bored at home all the time, so he and Liu Wanwan went out to watch the lights.

This day happened to be Sunday again, and all businesses, large and small, were on holiday.Liu Wanwan also invited several colleagues from the newspaper office to come together. Everyone came to Limen to watch the lanterns either alone or with their families.

Most of the people in the group knew each other, and there were as many as ten of them.

This year, the Tourism Bureau also specially invited several famous singers to sing, and it was crowded everywhere, which was extremely lively.

Liu Wanwan came here with Sun Ping, and as usual, when Sun Ping saw Du Anran, there was something strange in his eyes.Several colleagues in the newspaper office hadn't seen Du Anran for a long time, so they couldn't help but pull Du Anran to reminisce about the past.

"An Ran, long time no see, you are beautiful again!" Sister Fang and Du Anran are the best friends, she couldn't help but praise her.

"Sister Fang, you're kidding me again, I'm still the same." Du Anran laughed.

A little girl came up to see the ring on Du Anran's hand, and she couldn't help but stare: "Anran, this ring is so beautiful, are you engaged?"

But sharp-eyed people can recognize that this ring is not the one given by Jin Shaonan, and the news from the London reception some time ago, Du Anran and Xin Zimo are together, so everyone keeps silent about this matter .

"There is a performance ahead, there is a performance, everyone go see it!" Liu Wanwan shouted loudly.

As soon as everyone turned their heads, sure enough, someone was performing acrobatics on the stage in front, and everyone rushed forward one after another, and Du Anran also followed Liu Wanwan to the front.

Men have never been very interested in this kind of activities. Sun Ping chatted with a few men and didn't join in the fun.

This year's Lantern Festival is really full of activities. Not only are there performances in the open-air square, but a group of "actors" wearing ancient clothes will walk through the scene in the streets after a while, playing the role of the ancient emperors to benefit the world.

The gongs and drums made a "dong dong" sound, which was very lively.

There are also all kinds of flower boats in the water of the moat outside Limen, decorated with colorful lanterns, which look very beautiful.

"Let's go boating!" Liu Wanwan suggested that watching the performance was not enough.

"Okay, okay!" Someone echoed.

But there are also people who like to watch performances: "It is said that a famous movie star will come later, we still watch the performance!"

Opinions were not unified, and the crowd was divided into two factions, one continued to watch the performance, and the other went rowing.

Du Anran likes to take a boat to see the scenery, so he went rowing with Liu Wanwan.

Sure enough, the scenery seen on the boat is completely different from that on the shore.There was a lot of people on the shore, but on the boat, it was more like staying out of the matter.Liu Wanwan and Du Anran took the same small boat, there was a boat lady singing on the boat, and Liu Wanwan sang along with the beat.

"Wanwan, this lantern is for you." Du Anran took the red lotus lantern he had just bought on the shore, and handed one of them to Liu Wanwan.

"Sister An Ran, let's put the lantern on the bow, it looks so beautiful!" Liu Wanwan said and put the lotus lantern on the bow, sure enough, as the boat moved, the lantern also looked like a swaying lotus flower , swinging slightly.

Sun Ping stood on the bridge and looked at Liu Wanwan, and Liu Wanwan also saw him. She waved her hand and shouted loudly: "Sun Ping, come down!"

Liu Wanwan's ponytail swayed back and forth, and her face reflected the color of the lantern, making her look extraordinarily sweet.

"I'm not going! I'll wait for you on the bridge!" Sun Ping shouted.

Du Anran burst out laughing, Sun Ping's voice was too loud, which attracted countless people's attention.

"Wanwan, you really can't be separated for a moment." Du Anran poked Liu Wanwan's forehead and smiled.

"Oh, it's rare for Sun Ping to have time to accompany me. Don't look at him like this, he's actually too lazy to come out with me! Hmph, if others don't know, how can I not know!" Liu Wanwan pouted.
