A heartbeat, a lifetime

Chapter 36 Just because of you (8)
"I have an appointment with QL at ten o'clock."

"No problem, I will help you get it done by Friday."

She buried her head in typing on the computer, and raised her head after a while and asked me: "Have you seen Shen Qinjun's new scandal?"

"I know."

"It's too much." She snorted and started working again.

Facts have proved that Xu Zhuo is quite aggressive at the negotiating table.Maybe her experience is far inferior to those ruthless lawyers in QL, but she wins because she dares to fight, and because they want to get the equity in my hand too much, they are retreating in the face of Xu Zhuo's conditions.After negotiating for two days in a row, Xu Zhuo was very proud of the contract that the other party changed again and again, "I won another luxury house for you."

"Miss Su, the contract has been revised according to your request." Lawyer Zhang pushed the door in wearily, "If you can, you can sign it now."

"The general meeting of shareholders will be held tomorrow afternoon." I said calmly, "My lawyer and I want to study for one more night."

Lawyer Zhang obviously exhausted his patience in the tug-of-war these days, and his tone was half-joking, but also a little suspicious, "Miss Su, after talking for the past few days, you understand our sincerity, and the funds have all been paid. It’s in place. Are you kidding us by procrastinating so much?”

Before I opened my mouth, Xu Zhuo said coldly: "Mr. Zhang, your family is not the only one who offered an olive branch to Miss Su. We have talked with you here for three days. If there is no sincerity, why waste this time and energy ?”

Lawyer Zhang hesitated for a moment, but still couldn't make up his mind, went outside the house and called Gao Qi.Finally, he came in with his mobile phone and said to me, "Miss Su, Mr. Gao would like to have a few words with you."

I took it, and Takasaki's voice came through the radio waves, but there was no displeasure.

"Of course Miss Su can take the contract back and give it to me tomorrow morning."

"Thank you."

Before I hung up, he suddenly called my name again, and said very casually: "Miss Su, up to now, I am determined to win Rongwei, and I will not allow any mistakes. I hope you can understand this."

He was threatening me quietly, and I made my voice sound steady, "I know."

Xu Zhuo and I were holding the stack of documents, we were both preoccupied, and when we got into the taxi, she suddenly put her arm around my shoulder and said in a low voice, "It's a lot of money."

"It's really a lot of money." I leaned on her shoulder, and when I thought about it, I suddenly felt distressed.

In the past two days, I told Shen Qinjun that he would live with a friend, but he never came home. Maybe he was busy and didn't contact me.Only Roewe's secretary called to remind me that there is a shareholders' meeting tomorrow afternoon, and the relevant information has been sent to me.The car stopped at the entrance of the hotel, the doorman opened the door for us, we both got out of the back seat of the car in silence, Xu Zhuo said in a muffled voice: "I'm really tired, I want to take a good soak in the jacuzzi bath."

I looked at her flatteringly, "Of course. You can stay for as long as you want, or I'll let you live in the room for a month?"

For convenience, we simply booked a suite at the Marriott near Roewe.To be honest, when I went to the front desk to book a room, I felt a little distressed when I saw the four-figure price. Xu Zhuo was much tougher than me. He asked for a suite without blinking, and he charged my usual month's salary for three nights.

"Hmph, you don't feel bad about spending a lot of money."

Xu Zhuo has been repeating this sentence in my ear for the past two days, and now, I am somewhat numb.The two walked towards the elevator side by side, Xu Zhuo suddenly gave me a hand and said in a low voice, "Look over there."

I glanced to the left, and the familiar figure made me feel a little dizzy - such a nobleman should be accompanied by beautiful women by nature.

I also know that he has been rumored for the past two days and made headlines every day, but when I saw him walking in front of me with that strange young woman with beautiful eyebrows in his arms, I was suddenly a little uncertain. The man who cooks for me himself... Can he really put on that suave and relaxed look at any time?

Xu Zhuo dragged me into the elevator and pressed the floor.The elevator door slowly closed, she looked at me strangely, but held back and didn't speak.I stared hard at my reflection in the mirror door of the elevator. The girl inside was really tired. Two big dark circles were covered up with a pair of big black-rimmed glasses. shampoo.

As soon as he entered the room, Xu Zhuo called the front desk to order food, then took out the stack of documents from his bag, looked at me fixedly, "Have you figured it out? Wait until you sign it."

I leaned on the sofa and looked at my friend, feeling a little powerless.

She probably knew that I was not feeling well at the moment, so she didn't rush me.

I gripped the phone hard, and in the end I ran to the terrace and dialed the number.

After waiting for a long time, until I was about to lose patience, Shen Qinjun picked it up.

"Xiao Xi?"

"What are you doing?" I hesitated for a moment and asked.

"What else can I do? I just had dinner with a client, and now I'm going back to the company to work overtime." He paused, perhaps sensing something wrong with my mood, and asked again, "Do you remember the meeting tomorrow?"

"Dining with a client?" I repeated, pursing my lips lightly, "Is the female celebrity also your client?"

He was stunned, and then laughed softly on the other end of the phone, "Are you also at Marriott?"

I don't deny it.

"I took pictures of them on purpose." He answered me a little abruptly.

"Why? Don't you think there are not enough things?" Knowing that the board meeting will be held soon, but still being so scandal-ridden, is it to reduce the approval rate of shareholders?
He was silent for a moment, and finally there was a hint of hoarseness in his voice, "Bai Xi, these are all stage plays, how do you want me to explain?"

"Is it because of me?" My voice trembled slightly, and I finally asked what I've been wanting to ask for a long time, "You'd rather have scandals with other people spread all over the world than let me be exposed by the media?"

He didn't answer, I don't know if that counts as tacit consent.

The floors of the hotel are so high that the whole city is trampled underfoot, like a volume of silent flickering paintings without an author.The slightly cool night sky complemented each other, and it seemed so far away.

"Why bother, you don't need to do these things alone."

I hung up the phone, opened the floor-to-ceiling windows and went back to the room.

The room was filled with the graceful aroma of vanilla and fried fish, Xu Zhuo simply sat on the carpet and ate.

My stomach was empty, I was obviously hungry, but I pushed away the plates and started to sign the paper.

The name of the signature is "Su Yan", because I have never written these two characters, and the strokes are not very coherent.

But I know what I'm doing, I've done an awkward thing with an awkward name.

Xu Zhuo pushed away the dinner plate and silently helped me organize the contract. When I finished everything, she looked at me, "There is no way to get back the water that was spilled."

I rubbed my eyes, "That's it."

"Then I'll have someone send it over." Holding the document bag, she finally asked me one last time, "Are you sure?"

I half-lyed on the sofa and used my mobile phone to book the air ticket for tomorrow morning without looking up, "Sure."

"What are you doing?"

"Like Tony Leung and go to London to feed the pigeons."

In the huge suite, the sound of Xu Zhuo's leaving footsteps was quietly swept away by the thick carpet. I turned sideways, buried my face in the soft cushion, and fell into a deep sleep.

When I woke up early the next morning, my mood turned out to be a rare sunny day in this period of time.

Perhaps it was because I finally transferred out the hot equity in my hand last night, and a big rock fell to the ground. I hummed a little song and finished the breakfast brought by the waiter. I walked into the master bedroom and pushed Xu Zhuo, "I'll go first, and I'll leave the rest to you."

She looked at me in a daze, and fell asleep again.

I kindly called the front desk and asked them to wake up in half an hour and go out.

Early in the morning, the expressway leading to the airport was free of traffic jams, and boarding procedures were successfully completed. The stewardess smiled and reminded the passengers: "Please turn off your mobile phone, including the flight mode..."

From the moment I went out, I didn't turn it on at all.I asked the flight attendant for a newspaper, and when I opened it, it turned out to be "Financial News". Do you really think that those who fly first class are elites?I was about to close it with a lack of interest, but accidentally flipped to the second page. It was full of long stories, all of which were the beginning and end of the battle for Roewe's equity.

When I was in school, I was required to read financial newspapers every day. In fact, those terms are not unfamiliar to me. In addition, I have been supplementing financial contracts with Xu Zhuo these days. Interesting, worthy of the editor-in-chief and chief reporter of Finance and Economics.

I always thought that it was Shen Qinjun who became too aggressive after taking over Roewe, and that's why he turned against QL, but judging from this article, it's more like a problem accumulated by the previous generation, which just happened to explode in Shen Qinjun's hands.The report reads:

The shareholding dispute between Shen Qinjun and QL, with the issue of layoffs as the breaking point, can be said to be quite meaningful.The layoffs are directly related to the interests of the employees. Regardless of the final result, Shen Qinjun has put himself in an invincible position in the hearts of Roewe employees.Of course, QL has obtained the promises of many major shareholders of Roewe. If it can obtain absolute control at the general meeting of shareholders, the so-called employee support will be meaningless.Because pushing Shen Qinjuan out of the position of president already represented the beginning of a turnaround for this leading heavy industry group in China.

I looked at my watch. At this time, the meeting must have started.

Shen Qinjun should have also received the news.

But these things have nothing to do with me.

I closed my eyes, for the storm that followed, whether I was Bai Xi or Su Yan, I would not stay there, I was exhausted to accompany him to speculate and wait.
