Chapter 115 I want to act like a baby to you
Chapter 115 I want to act like a baby to you
When Lu Zhengnan received the news, he only smiled wryly and murmured: "Here we come, finally here..."
He had expected for a long time that this day would come, like a time bomb hidden deep in the dark, it finally exploded.
The tax bureau quickly organized people to start checking the accounts. The more they checked, the more shocking they became. Not only did the amount of tax evasion be huge, but some of the goods involved were also involved in illegal import and export.
As the chairman of the company, Lu Zhengnan was recalled to Beijing to cooperate with the investigation.
He didn't want to tell the old man at first, but at this point, how could he hide it? The old man came to see him in a hurry, and the moment the father and son met, they were relatively silent.
After a long time, the old man pressed his shoulder: "Zhengnan, you have been in the ancient city all these years, and the affairs here have nothing to do with you. If this time... you really can't escape, don't worry about it. I'll take the responsibility."
Lu Zhengnan helped him to sit down, pretending to smile relaxedly: "It's okay, Dad, isn't it just paying for the penalty? I can afford it."
The old man said nothing, just shook his head.
Tax evasion and smuggling, and the circumstances are serious, this is no longer something that can be solved by fines alone. The next step is to pursue criminal responsibility.
Lu Zhengnan was also silent, how could he not understand the seriousness of the matter, but no matter what, he couldn't let the old man lose his life at the end of the day, and after a lifetime of dominance, he would go to the prison at the end of the day.
"Dad, just relax, nothing big will happen. I'm running up and down. You should avoid suspicion recently, and don't go to anyone or say anything, just wait for my news." Lu Zhengnan held his hand , Advise him like a child: "You are obedient, just stay at home and don't let me worry about it, okay?"
He immediately sent the old man out, and before leaving, he called Xiao Zhang who came with the old man aside, and told him to pay special attention to the old man's situation recently, and notify him in time if there was any abnormality.
Watching the car they were sitting in leave, Lu Zhengnan put his hands in his trouser pockets and let out a long breath.
Let's just do it, what should come can't be stopped, we can only take one step at a time.
Back in the room, Yu Xingyuan called with a worried tone: "I heard something happened to you?"
Lu Zhengnan roughly explained the matter to him, and he sighed again and again: "The third child must have done it, why is he so ruthless?"
Lu Zhengnan smiled wistfully: "The grievances between our two families are one after the other, so we can't figure it out."
"Don't worry, there is room for accommodation in everything, and I will also find a way here." Yu Xingyuan comforted him.
The two discussed for a while, and when they hung up the phone, Lu Zhengnan suddenly remembered: "By the way, Xuanzi and the others know about this, right?"
Yu Xingyuan let out a "hmm".
"Tell her to keep her mouth shut and don't tell Chu Xiao yet." Lu Zhengnan warned: "Chu Xiao is already worried enough about Mi Lier now, don't make her worry any more."
Yu Xingyuan sighed again and agreed.
In fact, Sheng Xuan was sitting next to him at this time, and vaguely heard Lu Zhengnan's words.
When Yu Xingyuan hung up, she leaned against him and asked softly, "Does fourth brother still want to hide from fourth sister-in-law?"
Yu Xingyuan nodded silently.
"Thinking about the two of them, it's really painful." Sheng Xuan's eyes were flushed: "You said why can't the third brother be more open-minded, why bother to force others to be like this?"
Yu Xingyuan was also speechless.Now Qi Zhen has really walked into a dead end, and no one can pull him out.He was only worried about this catastrophe, Lu Zhengnan couldn't escape it.
After sitting silently for a while, he was about to stand up: "Okay, I'm leaving."
But at this time, Sheng Xuan hugged his arm, he turned his face and saw her crying: "Brother, if I don't let go, will I become like the third brother one day?"
Yu Xingyuan was taken aback: "What are you talking about?"
"I love you, but you don't love me." Sheng Xuan smiled sadly: "But if I want to let go, I can't do it, what should I do?"
Yu Xingyuan stared at her for a long time, then raised his hand to pat her forehead hair: "Children, you know what to love or not, you are just Electra complex."
"Who said I love my father!" Sheng Xuan was angry: "You are not my father!"
"At my age, if I fell in love early, it would be enough to give birth to a daughter as old as you." Yu Xingyuan snorted and pulled her hand away: "Stop making trouble, and find Xiang Min to play with you, remember what your fourth brother said , Don't tell your fourth sister-in-law about the recent incident."
After he finished speaking, he left. The moment the door was closed, he glanced imperceptibly at Sheng Xuan who was sitting on the sofa in a daze, and sighed softly in his heart.
At this age that doesn't understand love, she said that she fell in love with him, but if one day he really let go of everything and accepts, she really understands what love is, but finds out that she is not in love with him, so what should she do? ?
With a crisp "click", the door was closed, and he walked away from her again...
Ye Chuxiao, who was in Shanghai at the moment, was ignorant of what had happened.No one told her that Lu Zhengnan had indeed had fewer phone calls recently, but he said that he was busy with big projects recently.Qi Zhen's usual words and deeds are also all as usual, without showing the slightest abnormality.
So she didn't have any doubts, and still concentrated on taking care of Mi Li'er.
Ever since she noticed that Mi Lier had improved significantly when drinking soup, she went back to make soup every day. Later, after consulting the doctor, she cooked porridge with fresh soup until it was soft and melted in the mouth.
Feeding small spoonfuls of rice, the rice grains can be swallowed normally, and she is able to eat. Her spirit seems to be much better than before, and she sleeps less. When she wakes up, her eyes turn to see the light. The number of times is also more than before, and occasionally there is a slight reaction to her words.
All these made Ye Chuxiao very happy, now Mi Lier is like a newborn baby, everything has to start from scratch, she is also anxious, but she told herself that as long as she has patience, Mi Lier will slowly get better, One day, it will be the same as before.
This belief supports her, allowing her to remain optimistic no matter how tired she is, and she often has a smile on her face.
Qi Zhen was by the side, looking at her like this, he felt that the darkness that had been entrenched in his heart all year round seemed to be gradually being melted away by the sunshine, and he only wished that the sunshine would stay by his side forever and never leave again.
The sun is shining on his side now, but Lu Zhengnan is in dire straits.
Despite various measures, he has not yet reached the point of pursuing criminal responsibility, but he was fined nearly five times the original tax amount.The company in Beijing has long been insolvent, and the company in Lu Zhengnan Ancient City has already filled a lot of holes for it to fill in the loan. The previous project of the villa cost a huge amount of money. Now it is such a large sum of money, it is not easy to pay off. ?
Every day, Lu Zhengnan was called over and over again during the day to assist in the investigation, and went around to make contacts. When he came back at night, he sat alone in the room, smoking one cigarette after another until dawn.
But one morning, he received a call from Qi Zhen.
"Fourth, I heard that you are very tight financially recently?" Qi Zhen's tone was extremely kind, as if they were good brothers who had no grievances many years ago.
Lu Zhengnan smiled here: "Yeah, what's the best trick for third brother?"
"Let me help you figure it out too. I'm afraid you can't close the hole if you sell the company now?" Qi Zhen's eyes flickered darkly: "How about this, you sell the part of the shares you occupy in the villa to I also think that I have contributed to you, how about it?"
Lu Zhengnan let out a "ha": "You are very accurate in your calculations. Taking the money from the Lu family and buying shares in the Lu family is still helping the Lu family."
"This is what your Lu family owes me." Qi Zhen sneered: "Think about it, given your current situation, you can't afford it, and no one else outside will dare to help you."
Lu Zhengnan was silent for a moment, with a bit of regret in his eyes: "Third brother, what step do you have to go before you are willing to stop?"
"I said a long time ago that what should be returned to me must be returned to me." Qi Zhen snorted sullenly: "Don't miss this opportunity, time waits for no one." After finishing speaking, he hung up the phone .
Holding the phone, Lu Zhengnan sat in the morning light, feeling cold in his heart.
That day, he went out again and found a few former friends, but the world is so cold, when you are lucky, the whole world is your friends, but once you fall, these former "friends" will become worse than passers-by .
What's more, the Lu family has been thriving for so many years, so how could it be possible that they haven't offended anyone? It's so easy to wait for today's opportunity, and those people will naturally step on it openly and secretly.
Among them, Luo Xin's family was included. It happened that Luo Xin's uncle was in the inspection department.
When Lu Zhengnan went home to see the old man that night, he happened to meet Luo's father who was visiting relatives' house in the alley. When he saw him, the other party deliberately walked up to him, smiling falsely and sarcastically: "Little Lu, I heard that your company has not been very peaceful recently, do you want me to talk to you and help take care of it."
"Thank you, you should have taken care of her a long time ago, right?" Lu Zhengnan smiled slightly.
The words were straightforward, and Luo's father couldn't hold back, and his expression sank: "It's a fact that you broke the law. What's the matter, you still don't admit it now? Instead, blame others for not managing it right?"
"Where can it be?" Lu Zhengnan shrugged: "I'm planning to go bankrupt and pay compensation, well, I won't bother you to visit, see you later."
He turned and left, Father Luo stared at his back, and said in his heart that he deserved it...
After entering her own courtyard, Mother Lu saw him from the window, but she didn't come out to greet him. She felt that she would always be making fun of herself in front of the father and son, so she didn't even show her face now.She had also heard about the outside affairs, but it only caused her to resent Shiman and the others even more. As for other things, she couldn't care about them, and she didn't bother to care about them.
Lu Zhengnan also saw her through the glass, and didn't say anything, only feeling that the atmosphere in this courtyard is getting more and more desolate day by day.
Xiao Zhang also called this afternoon, saying that the old man's spirit was getting worse day by day, and he was bedridden again.
The Lu family, I'm afraid they are really going to lose.He sighed in his heart and walked into the east wing.
The old man seemed to be asleep, even when Lu Zhengnan came in, he didn't respond.
Lu Zhengnan sat down on the edge of the bed, pulled up the half-slipped quilt, and then he seemed to wake up, turned his head to look at him, and asked in a low voice: "Zhengnan, it's you who came back? "
"It's me." He held the hand covered with age spots. The hand that was once so strong has now shrunk into a dead tree.
With a dull pain in his heart, he helped the old man up and raised his back with a pillow: "Dad, you haven't eaten dinner yet, and I haven't eaten either. Let Mrs. Chen make some and bring them over. Let's eat together. "
The old man just looked at him dumbly and didn't speak.
Lu Zhengnan called Xiao Zhang at the door to come over, and asked him to go to the kitchen and order Mrs. Chen to cook some dishes. After thinking about it, he ordered to boil the pot of wine.
Xiao Zhang agreed to go, and Lu Zhengnan talked with the old man.
He didn't mention a word about the company, he talked all over the place.
The old man kept looking at him like that, listening to him, holding his hand tightly.
When the food was ready and served, Lu Zhengnan took clothes and put them on the old man, helped him get out of bed, and served him food and vegetables.
The old man didn't eat, and looked at him in a daze and shouted: "Zhengnan."
"Hey, Dad, I'm here." He agreed with a smile, pulled the chair closer to the old man, poured half a glass of wine and handed it over: "If you don't want to eat, take a sip first. Didn't you have to drink two glasses every meal before?" ?”
The old man's fingertips trembled, and he suddenly cried, like a helpless child.
"Don't tell me, Dad, Dad." He hurriedly hugged the old man: "Why are you crying? At worst, your son is poor and can't afford you to eat delicacies from mountains and seas. Let's live in a small house, and it's okay to eat simple food every day. Are you afraid Can't afford to suffer?"
"I'm not..." The old man choked up, Lu Zhengnan wiped his tears, and helped him to sit up: "Then it's over, it's okay, it's okay, I said it a long time ago, come back after all the money is gone, Even if I really collapse this time, I can make a comeback in the future. You don’t believe in others, don’t you believe in your son’s ability? I’ve always been able to leverage since I was a child..." He patted his chest, looking like a ruffian who was not afraid of anything Son.
The old man was finally provoked by him and couldn't help smiling, he smiled too, put the wine glass into the old man's hand, and poured himself a glass: "Come on, have a drink, let's go."
The old man nodded, and both drank the glass of wine, Lu Zhengnan patted him on the shoulder: "My old brothers, we are refreshing."
The old man didn't scold him whether he was old or young, and under his urging, he ate obediently.
In the gap, Lu Zhengnan quietly looked at the old man and sighed in his heart.The old man is old, and many things are already gone. Now, I can only do my best so that he can spend the rest of his life in peace.
He didn't leave that night, but curled up at the old man's feet all night. In his memory, the scene of father and son sleeping together like this has been a long time ago.
The autumn night was a bit chilly, and the old man fell into a drowsy sleep. He still remembered to pull the quilt and cover his legs and feet. He pretended to be asleep, but his heart was sore.
When he got up the next morning, he wanted to leave, but the old man sent him to the door all the way. After walking a long way, he turned his head, looked at the old man's white hair blowing in the wind and his bleak figure, finally turned around with gritted teeth, and walked out quickly. that long alley...
That morning, Qi Zhen received a call from Lu Zhengnan.
"I've thought about what you said about selling shares yesterday, so I'll do what you said." Lu Zhengnan's tone was calm.
Qi Zhen was slightly stunned, and then smiled: "Have you figured it out so quickly? That's a good idea, let's just go back to the ancient city for a day or two."
"Okay." Lu Zhengnan agreed unambiguously: "As you arrange."
After the matter was settled, Qi Zhen began to sarcastic again: "You really have to think about it, this transaction is entirely voluntary, I didn't force you."
Lu Zhengnan's eyes were silent, and he smiled: "I'm voluntary, so I'll treat you as our Lu family and pay off your debt."
Qi Zhen snorted lightly and said nothing.
This is just the first sum he got back from the Lu family. This debt is not so easy to pay off...
After making the phone call and returning to the ward, Ye Chuxiao was not there, so she asked the nurse, saying that she was pushing rice grains to the garden to bask in the sun.
Qi Zhen then went downstairs and found their mother and daughter by the flower bed.
This is the first time Mi Lier has come out to bask in the sun since she was hospitalized for so long. The doctor said that getting some air would be good for her.
Probably because she stayed in the room for too long, she was not used to it, she squinted her eyes slightly, and there seemed to be a distressed expression on her face, she looked very cute.
Ye Chuxiao deliberately teased her, holding her hand and shaking: "Oh, the little beauty is going to get tanned, what should I do if she's tanned and won't be pretty?"
Mi Li'er seemed to hear it, and turned her eyes, and her gaze paused on her face for half a second.
Ye Chuxiao happily hugged her and kissed her: "You're looking at whether mom is tanned, aren't you?"
While laughing, Qi Zhen's voice suddenly interjected: "Not even tanned, they are all beautiful."
Ye Chuxiao was stunned for a moment, then looked back at him: "You came down too?"
Qi Zhen sat down on the other side and held Mi Lier's other hand: "You may have to work hard these few days, I have to go back to the ancient city to deal with some business."
Ye Chuxiao nodded: "It's okay, there are doctors and nurses here, and there are not many things to do."
Qi Zhen took a deep look at her and smiled: "I will be back soon, you wait for me."
This sentence seemed to have other meanings, he hadn't said such ambiguous words for a long time, Ye Chuxiao pretended not to hear, stood up, said to push Mi Lier to go elsewhere, Qi Zhen also got up to follow.
When Ye Chuxiao pushed the wheelchair up the steps, it was a little difficult, so Qi Zhen took it over. During the exchange, the two people's hands accidentally touched each other, and Ye Chuxiao immediately shrank back.Her subconscious reaction made Qi Zhen's eyes dim, but he continued to walk forward as if nothing had happened, talking to her and Mi Li'er...
Qi Zhen left in the afternoon, and before leaving, he repeatedly told the nurse to take good care of their mother and daughter. When he left, the nurse said to Ye Chuxiao enviously, "Your husband is really kind to you."
Ye Chuxiao only smiled lightly, not wanting to talk about her personal affairs in front of outsiders.
But she doesn't gossip, which doesn't mean others don't gossip. When she went out to fetch water after a while, she heard two nurses chatting in the water room before she entered the door.
"The father of the little girl in bed 1 is really a good man. He usually stays here every day, but now he is on a business trip for a few days. He reminds him a lot, lest he will tire his wife."
"Hi—" The other nurse covered her mouth with her hand and lowered her voice, "Don't tell me, I passed by the door a few days ago and saw his wife cuddling with another man..." Before finishing speaking, Out of the corner of her eye, she suddenly caught sight of Ye Chuxiao standing at the door, she stopped talking in embarrassment, nudged the nurse next to her with her elbow, and laughed dryly, ready to go out together.
The moment she passed by, Ye Chuxiao suddenly couldn't bear it any longer, and turned to look at them with a slow and clear voice: "He is not my husband, the one who came to see me that day is."
The two looked at each other.
After that, the nurses who came to make the ward rounds seemed a little weird looking at their mother and daughter. Ye Chuxiao also felt that she was a little impulsive at the time, but she said what she said. He didn't want to meet Lu Zhengnan normally, but was treated as an affair by others.The current special situation is just for Mi Lier, and one day she will get back on track.
But she didn't expect that her and Lu Zhengnan's future had already started to deviate silently...
On the second day after Qi Zhen returned to the ancient city, he met with Lu Zhengnan, and the two parties formally discussed the specific matters of the share transfer.The price Qi Zhen offered was very low, and in the end, it was not enough for Lu Zhengnan's initial investment.
But Lu Zhengnan didn't bargain, and simply signed the contract with him.
When the two names were settled side by side on the contract, Qi Zhen curled his lips together: "From now on, this villa will not be called Zhengnan Villa."
Lu Zhengnan smiled lightly and said, "Congratulations."
"Since you're here, why don't you participate in the new listing ceremony?" Qi Zhen's tone of invitation was very "sincere".
"So urgent?" Lu Zhengnan raised his eyebrows: "That's fine."
When they came to the gate of the villa together, Lu Zhengnan discovered that Qi Zhen had invited quite a few people, which was comparable to the scale and grandeur of the initial listing.
If it's really tit for tat, you won't lose even half of your momentum.Lu Zhengnan grinned.
Qi Zhen finally stood at the center of the crowd and announced to everyone that starting today, the villa will be officially renamed "Dingqi Villa".
Everyone applauded enthusiastically, his eyes flicked across the audience, and finally paused slightly on Lu Zhengnan's face.
Lu Zhengnan looked at him, smiled, and raised his hands to applaud.
Qi Zhen looked away in satisfaction and ordered to change the brand.
With a bang, the plaque with the words "Zhengnan Villa" fell to the ground and fell to pieces.
Lu Zhengnan looked at the pieces quietly, with no expression on his face.
Qi Zhen also looked at the fragment coldly for a while, and then loudly ordered to hang up the sign.
When the four golden characters of "Dingqi Mountain Villa" shine brightly from a high place, Qi Zhen's eyes also seem to be radiant.
He finally realized his first long-cherished wish.
This time, Lu Zhengnan took the lead, clapped loudly twice, and then turned and left when everyone's eyes were fixed on him, with his back straight...
When Lu Zhengnan returned to the company, Uncle Li entered the office and angrily scolded Qi Zhen for being a wolf.
He was silent for a while, then waved his hands: "Stop scolding, if you have this time, why not pay attention to the buyer, negotiate a good price, and sell this company."
Uncle Li was shocked: "What did you say?"
"I can't keep it." Lu Zhengnan sighed and smiled: "Even with the money Qi Zhen gave, the basket still won't hold up. I'll take stock of the ancient city and sell it."
Uncle Li was so sad that he couldn't speak at once, and he stomped his feet repeatedly: "Oh...how...how did it become like this..."
"Uncle Li," Lu Zhengnan patted him on the shoulder: "The only one I feel sorry for is you old people who have been with our family for so many years. When the money is collected this time, I will definitely settle you down first, and then talk about it." other."
"Don't say that." Uncle Li's voice choked: "You and the old man have treated us well. We know it well. Now that we have gotten this far, it really makes people..."
"It doesn't matter." Lu Zhengnan comforted him: "I will invite you all back after I reopen the company in the future."
"Success, you can do it if you have the pride." Uncle Li squeezed his hand tightly: "We all believe in you, as long as you call, I will come back to work for you."
Lu Zhengnan laughed boldly, but he didn't feel well in his heart. He knew that this time, Qi Zhen would definitely put the Lu family to death and make a comeback. How could it be so easy...
When he returned to Yunshui Pavilion that night, he slept for half the night in a daze. When he woke up and looked at the dark night around him, he suddenly thought of Ye Chuxiao so much that his heart ached.
In the end, he couldn't bear it no matter what, and he dialed her phone.
She was already asleep at this time, and the bell rang for a while before waking up. She opened her eyes and looked at the screen, then at the sleeping Mi Lier, and went to a secluded place outside to answer the call.
"Hello." She just woke up, her voice was a little hoarse: "Why are you calling me at this time?"
"I just miss you." His voice was equally low and hoarse: "I can't fall asleep thinking about it, what do you think?"
Such silly love words, any woman will feel sweet in her heart, Ye Chuxiao is no exception, chuckled: "Tsk, acting like a baby again."
He is willing to act like a baby only when facing her: "Chu Xiao, I feel very tired recently."
She didn't know about his recent sufferings, she just thought that he was too busy with work and lonely, so she coaxed him distressedly: "Then you should pay more attention to rest, if you are free, come and see us."
Lu Zhengnan gave a soft "um", at this moment, he really wanted to hold her tightly in his arms, only then would he feel warm.
At this moment, Ye Chuxiao's heart is also sore, why doesn't she miss him?After being separated for so long and so far apart suddenly, without him by my side, I always feel as if something is missing, empty.
"We'll go back to the ancient city when Mi Li'er recovers from his illness." She said softly, but he was shocked and came back to his senses.
Now that his situation is so dangerous, what else can he give to their mother and daughter in the future?
This thought flashed, and my heart felt like being stabbed with a knife, and it hurt sharply.
"Go to sleep, and don't disturb Mi Lier." He forced himself to be calm: "I'm asleep too, and I have to have a meeting early tomorrow morning."
Although Ye Chuxiao was reluctant to end the call like this, she was also afraid that he would be too tired: "Okay, then you sleep well, I'll hang up."
"Okay." He hung up first.
She sighed in disappointment and returned to the ward.
And he was lying alone in the dark, no matter how hard he was to fall asleep...
From the next day, Lu Zhengnan began to look for people to talk about selling the company. In the northwest area, he has been in business for many years and has excellent strength, but the shopping malls have always been high and low. At this time, everyone said with open eyes. Nonsense, devaluing this company to nothing, and desperately lowering the price.
According to Lu Zhengnan's disposition, if he had met these people before, he would have cleaned them up, but this is not what it used to be. He desperately needs money, so he can only suppress his temper and deal with them.
When Qi Zhen heard about Lu Zhengnan's current predicament, he was overjoyed and moved his mind, thinking of annexing them altogether.
"Mr. Qi, we invested in the villa before, and recently bought shares and spent a fortune. Now we don't have much money. If we want to swallow it, I'm afraid we will have financial difficulties in the future." The subordinate Chen Jian hurriedly wanted to stop it.
"Doing business, how can you not take any risks." Qi Zhen waved his hand, what he hoped most was to take everything that Lu Zhengnan owned, every single thing, with his own hands.
Chen Jian opened his mouth, seeing his stubborn expression, he couldn't say anything more.
Immediately, he sent Chen Jian to express his intention to Lu Zhengnan.
After all, they used to be subordinates, when Chen Jian went to find Lu Zhengnan, he still hesitated.
However, when Lu Zhengnan saw him, he understood his purpose and raised his eyebrows: "Why, you, Mr. Qi, are also interested in my company?"
Chen Jian nodded awkwardly: "Yes, Boss Qi asked me to talk to you."
Lu Zhengnan smiled: "You are rich and powerful now, then I have to offer a good price."
"Just watch it, I'll go back and report to Mr. Qi." Chen Jian smiled dryly.
Lu Zhengnan immediately wrote a number on a piece of paper, folded it and handed it to him, with a secretive smile: "Then you tell Mr. Qi, if the price is lowered, we can't negotiate."
Chen Jian agreed to come out, quietly opened it in the elevator and looked at it, and was speechless...
When Chen Jian went back and reported the price to Qi Zhen, he frowned after hearing this: "Hey, this price is high enough, it's almost twice as high as what he offered to others, right?"
Chen Jian remained silent.
"He really understands me." Qi Zhen sneered, "I know that no matter how high the price is, I will buy it."
Chen Jian suddenly became a little anxious: "President Qi, don't be impulsive, you need to think about this matter..."
But Qi Zhen quickly interrupted him: "Come on, you go back and say that we can accept the price, and tell him not to talk to other people."
Chen Jian sighed silently in his heart, and had no choice but to follow suit.
When Lu Zhengnan heard what Chen Jian had said, he just smiled: "Okay, you can also help me thank you, Mr. Qi, not only saved my emergency, but also helped me settle down those old employees who have been with him before."
These words were ironic, Chen Jian didn't dare to say more, hummed a few words, and left quickly...
Basically, two major events were completed, Lu Zhengnan's property was about to fall into his own pocket, and Qi Zhen returned to Shanghai full of ambition.
Ye Chuxiao only felt that he seemed particularly high-spirited when he came back from the ancient city, but this was his business after all, and she didn't want to ask too many questions.
Because of his absence, she was worried about leaving Mi Li'er alone in the hospital, so she hadn't gone back to make soup for a long time, but since Mi Li'er drank the soup she made, she has become more picky about her appetite. I feel that it is not delicious, and it becomes difficult again.Now that Qi Zhen was here, she asked him to take care of Mi Lier, and went back to make soup by herself.
When she left, Qi Zhen looked at her back, and suddenly felt something in his heart...
When Ye Chuxiao bought the ingredients in the supermarket and returned home, after cooking the soup, he took time to take a shower and change clothes as usual.
The sound of water in the bathroom was so loud that she didn't notice it, and in the middle of washing, there was the sound of turning the key outside the door...
(End of this chapter)
When Lu Zhengnan received the news, he only smiled wryly and murmured: "Here we come, finally here..."
He had expected for a long time that this day would come, like a time bomb hidden deep in the dark, it finally exploded.
The tax bureau quickly organized people to start checking the accounts. The more they checked, the more shocking they became. Not only did the amount of tax evasion be huge, but some of the goods involved were also involved in illegal import and export.
As the chairman of the company, Lu Zhengnan was recalled to Beijing to cooperate with the investigation.
He didn't want to tell the old man at first, but at this point, how could he hide it? The old man came to see him in a hurry, and the moment the father and son met, they were relatively silent.
After a long time, the old man pressed his shoulder: "Zhengnan, you have been in the ancient city all these years, and the affairs here have nothing to do with you. If this time... you really can't escape, don't worry about it. I'll take the responsibility."
Lu Zhengnan helped him to sit down, pretending to smile relaxedly: "It's okay, Dad, isn't it just paying for the penalty? I can afford it."
The old man said nothing, just shook his head.
Tax evasion and smuggling, and the circumstances are serious, this is no longer something that can be solved by fines alone. The next step is to pursue criminal responsibility.
Lu Zhengnan was also silent, how could he not understand the seriousness of the matter, but no matter what, he couldn't let the old man lose his life at the end of the day, and after a lifetime of dominance, he would go to the prison at the end of the day.
"Dad, just relax, nothing big will happen. I'm running up and down. You should avoid suspicion recently, and don't go to anyone or say anything, just wait for my news." Lu Zhengnan held his hand , Advise him like a child: "You are obedient, just stay at home and don't let me worry about it, okay?"
He immediately sent the old man out, and before leaving, he called Xiao Zhang who came with the old man aside, and told him to pay special attention to the old man's situation recently, and notify him in time if there was any abnormality.
Watching the car they were sitting in leave, Lu Zhengnan put his hands in his trouser pockets and let out a long breath.
Let's just do it, what should come can't be stopped, we can only take one step at a time.
Back in the room, Yu Xingyuan called with a worried tone: "I heard something happened to you?"
Lu Zhengnan roughly explained the matter to him, and he sighed again and again: "The third child must have done it, why is he so ruthless?"
Lu Zhengnan smiled wistfully: "The grievances between our two families are one after the other, so we can't figure it out."
"Don't worry, there is room for accommodation in everything, and I will also find a way here." Yu Xingyuan comforted him.
The two discussed for a while, and when they hung up the phone, Lu Zhengnan suddenly remembered: "By the way, Xuanzi and the others know about this, right?"
Yu Xingyuan let out a "hmm".
"Tell her to keep her mouth shut and don't tell Chu Xiao yet." Lu Zhengnan warned: "Chu Xiao is already worried enough about Mi Lier now, don't make her worry any more."
Yu Xingyuan sighed again and agreed.
In fact, Sheng Xuan was sitting next to him at this time, and vaguely heard Lu Zhengnan's words.
When Yu Xingyuan hung up, she leaned against him and asked softly, "Does fourth brother still want to hide from fourth sister-in-law?"
Yu Xingyuan nodded silently.
"Thinking about the two of them, it's really painful." Sheng Xuan's eyes were flushed: "You said why can't the third brother be more open-minded, why bother to force others to be like this?"
Yu Xingyuan was also speechless.Now Qi Zhen has really walked into a dead end, and no one can pull him out.He was only worried about this catastrophe, Lu Zhengnan couldn't escape it.
After sitting silently for a while, he was about to stand up: "Okay, I'm leaving."
But at this time, Sheng Xuan hugged his arm, he turned his face and saw her crying: "Brother, if I don't let go, will I become like the third brother one day?"
Yu Xingyuan was taken aback: "What are you talking about?"
"I love you, but you don't love me." Sheng Xuan smiled sadly: "But if I want to let go, I can't do it, what should I do?"
Yu Xingyuan stared at her for a long time, then raised his hand to pat her forehead hair: "Children, you know what to love or not, you are just Electra complex."
"Who said I love my father!" Sheng Xuan was angry: "You are not my father!"
"At my age, if I fell in love early, it would be enough to give birth to a daughter as old as you." Yu Xingyuan snorted and pulled her hand away: "Stop making trouble, and find Xiang Min to play with you, remember what your fourth brother said , Don't tell your fourth sister-in-law about the recent incident."
After he finished speaking, he left. The moment the door was closed, he glanced imperceptibly at Sheng Xuan who was sitting on the sofa in a daze, and sighed softly in his heart.
At this age that doesn't understand love, she said that she fell in love with him, but if one day he really let go of everything and accepts, she really understands what love is, but finds out that she is not in love with him, so what should she do? ?
With a crisp "click", the door was closed, and he walked away from her again...
Ye Chuxiao, who was in Shanghai at the moment, was ignorant of what had happened.No one told her that Lu Zhengnan had indeed had fewer phone calls recently, but he said that he was busy with big projects recently.Qi Zhen's usual words and deeds are also all as usual, without showing the slightest abnormality.
So she didn't have any doubts, and still concentrated on taking care of Mi Li'er.
Ever since she noticed that Mi Lier had improved significantly when drinking soup, she went back to make soup every day. Later, after consulting the doctor, she cooked porridge with fresh soup until it was soft and melted in the mouth.
Feeding small spoonfuls of rice, the rice grains can be swallowed normally, and she is able to eat. Her spirit seems to be much better than before, and she sleeps less. When she wakes up, her eyes turn to see the light. The number of times is also more than before, and occasionally there is a slight reaction to her words.
All these made Ye Chuxiao very happy, now Mi Lier is like a newborn baby, everything has to start from scratch, she is also anxious, but she told herself that as long as she has patience, Mi Lier will slowly get better, One day, it will be the same as before.
This belief supports her, allowing her to remain optimistic no matter how tired she is, and she often has a smile on her face.
Qi Zhen was by the side, looking at her like this, he felt that the darkness that had been entrenched in his heart all year round seemed to be gradually being melted away by the sunshine, and he only wished that the sunshine would stay by his side forever and never leave again.
The sun is shining on his side now, but Lu Zhengnan is in dire straits.
Despite various measures, he has not yet reached the point of pursuing criminal responsibility, but he was fined nearly five times the original tax amount.The company in Beijing has long been insolvent, and the company in Lu Zhengnan Ancient City has already filled a lot of holes for it to fill in the loan. The previous project of the villa cost a huge amount of money. Now it is such a large sum of money, it is not easy to pay off. ?
Every day, Lu Zhengnan was called over and over again during the day to assist in the investigation, and went around to make contacts. When he came back at night, he sat alone in the room, smoking one cigarette after another until dawn.
But one morning, he received a call from Qi Zhen.
"Fourth, I heard that you are very tight financially recently?" Qi Zhen's tone was extremely kind, as if they were good brothers who had no grievances many years ago.
Lu Zhengnan smiled here: "Yeah, what's the best trick for third brother?"
"Let me help you figure it out too. I'm afraid you can't close the hole if you sell the company now?" Qi Zhen's eyes flickered darkly: "How about this, you sell the part of the shares you occupy in the villa to I also think that I have contributed to you, how about it?"
Lu Zhengnan let out a "ha": "You are very accurate in your calculations. Taking the money from the Lu family and buying shares in the Lu family is still helping the Lu family."
"This is what your Lu family owes me." Qi Zhen sneered: "Think about it, given your current situation, you can't afford it, and no one else outside will dare to help you."
Lu Zhengnan was silent for a moment, with a bit of regret in his eyes: "Third brother, what step do you have to go before you are willing to stop?"
"I said a long time ago that what should be returned to me must be returned to me." Qi Zhen snorted sullenly: "Don't miss this opportunity, time waits for no one." After finishing speaking, he hung up the phone .
Holding the phone, Lu Zhengnan sat in the morning light, feeling cold in his heart.
That day, he went out again and found a few former friends, but the world is so cold, when you are lucky, the whole world is your friends, but once you fall, these former "friends" will become worse than passers-by .
What's more, the Lu family has been thriving for so many years, so how could it be possible that they haven't offended anyone? It's so easy to wait for today's opportunity, and those people will naturally step on it openly and secretly.
Among them, Luo Xin's family was included. It happened that Luo Xin's uncle was in the inspection department.
When Lu Zhengnan went home to see the old man that night, he happened to meet Luo's father who was visiting relatives' house in the alley. When he saw him, the other party deliberately walked up to him, smiling falsely and sarcastically: "Little Lu, I heard that your company has not been very peaceful recently, do you want me to talk to you and help take care of it."
"Thank you, you should have taken care of her a long time ago, right?" Lu Zhengnan smiled slightly.
The words were straightforward, and Luo's father couldn't hold back, and his expression sank: "It's a fact that you broke the law. What's the matter, you still don't admit it now? Instead, blame others for not managing it right?"
"Where can it be?" Lu Zhengnan shrugged: "I'm planning to go bankrupt and pay compensation, well, I won't bother you to visit, see you later."
He turned and left, Father Luo stared at his back, and said in his heart that he deserved it...
After entering her own courtyard, Mother Lu saw him from the window, but she didn't come out to greet him. She felt that she would always be making fun of herself in front of the father and son, so she didn't even show her face now.She had also heard about the outside affairs, but it only caused her to resent Shiman and the others even more. As for other things, she couldn't care about them, and she didn't bother to care about them.
Lu Zhengnan also saw her through the glass, and didn't say anything, only feeling that the atmosphere in this courtyard is getting more and more desolate day by day.
Xiao Zhang also called this afternoon, saying that the old man's spirit was getting worse day by day, and he was bedridden again.
The Lu family, I'm afraid they are really going to lose.He sighed in his heart and walked into the east wing.
The old man seemed to be asleep, even when Lu Zhengnan came in, he didn't respond.
Lu Zhengnan sat down on the edge of the bed, pulled up the half-slipped quilt, and then he seemed to wake up, turned his head to look at him, and asked in a low voice: "Zhengnan, it's you who came back? "
"It's me." He held the hand covered with age spots. The hand that was once so strong has now shrunk into a dead tree.
With a dull pain in his heart, he helped the old man up and raised his back with a pillow: "Dad, you haven't eaten dinner yet, and I haven't eaten either. Let Mrs. Chen make some and bring them over. Let's eat together. "
The old man just looked at him dumbly and didn't speak.
Lu Zhengnan called Xiao Zhang at the door to come over, and asked him to go to the kitchen and order Mrs. Chen to cook some dishes. After thinking about it, he ordered to boil the pot of wine.
Xiao Zhang agreed to go, and Lu Zhengnan talked with the old man.
He didn't mention a word about the company, he talked all over the place.
The old man kept looking at him like that, listening to him, holding his hand tightly.
When the food was ready and served, Lu Zhengnan took clothes and put them on the old man, helped him get out of bed, and served him food and vegetables.
The old man didn't eat, and looked at him in a daze and shouted: "Zhengnan."
"Hey, Dad, I'm here." He agreed with a smile, pulled the chair closer to the old man, poured half a glass of wine and handed it over: "If you don't want to eat, take a sip first. Didn't you have to drink two glasses every meal before?" ?”
The old man's fingertips trembled, and he suddenly cried, like a helpless child.
"Don't tell me, Dad, Dad." He hurriedly hugged the old man: "Why are you crying? At worst, your son is poor and can't afford you to eat delicacies from mountains and seas. Let's live in a small house, and it's okay to eat simple food every day. Are you afraid Can't afford to suffer?"
"I'm not..." The old man choked up, Lu Zhengnan wiped his tears, and helped him to sit up: "Then it's over, it's okay, it's okay, I said it a long time ago, come back after all the money is gone, Even if I really collapse this time, I can make a comeback in the future. You don’t believe in others, don’t you believe in your son’s ability? I’ve always been able to leverage since I was a child..." He patted his chest, looking like a ruffian who was not afraid of anything Son.
The old man was finally provoked by him and couldn't help smiling, he smiled too, put the wine glass into the old man's hand, and poured himself a glass: "Come on, have a drink, let's go."
The old man nodded, and both drank the glass of wine, Lu Zhengnan patted him on the shoulder: "My old brothers, we are refreshing."
The old man didn't scold him whether he was old or young, and under his urging, he ate obediently.
In the gap, Lu Zhengnan quietly looked at the old man and sighed in his heart.The old man is old, and many things are already gone. Now, I can only do my best so that he can spend the rest of his life in peace.
He didn't leave that night, but curled up at the old man's feet all night. In his memory, the scene of father and son sleeping together like this has been a long time ago.
The autumn night was a bit chilly, and the old man fell into a drowsy sleep. He still remembered to pull the quilt and cover his legs and feet. He pretended to be asleep, but his heart was sore.
When he got up the next morning, he wanted to leave, but the old man sent him to the door all the way. After walking a long way, he turned his head, looked at the old man's white hair blowing in the wind and his bleak figure, finally turned around with gritted teeth, and walked out quickly. that long alley...
That morning, Qi Zhen received a call from Lu Zhengnan.
"I've thought about what you said about selling shares yesterday, so I'll do what you said." Lu Zhengnan's tone was calm.
Qi Zhen was slightly stunned, and then smiled: "Have you figured it out so quickly? That's a good idea, let's just go back to the ancient city for a day or two."
"Okay." Lu Zhengnan agreed unambiguously: "As you arrange."
After the matter was settled, Qi Zhen began to sarcastic again: "You really have to think about it, this transaction is entirely voluntary, I didn't force you."
Lu Zhengnan's eyes were silent, and he smiled: "I'm voluntary, so I'll treat you as our Lu family and pay off your debt."
Qi Zhen snorted lightly and said nothing.
This is just the first sum he got back from the Lu family. This debt is not so easy to pay off...
After making the phone call and returning to the ward, Ye Chuxiao was not there, so she asked the nurse, saying that she was pushing rice grains to the garden to bask in the sun.
Qi Zhen then went downstairs and found their mother and daughter by the flower bed.
This is the first time Mi Lier has come out to bask in the sun since she was hospitalized for so long. The doctor said that getting some air would be good for her.
Probably because she stayed in the room for too long, she was not used to it, she squinted her eyes slightly, and there seemed to be a distressed expression on her face, she looked very cute.
Ye Chuxiao deliberately teased her, holding her hand and shaking: "Oh, the little beauty is going to get tanned, what should I do if she's tanned and won't be pretty?"
Mi Li'er seemed to hear it, and turned her eyes, and her gaze paused on her face for half a second.
Ye Chuxiao happily hugged her and kissed her: "You're looking at whether mom is tanned, aren't you?"
While laughing, Qi Zhen's voice suddenly interjected: "Not even tanned, they are all beautiful."
Ye Chuxiao was stunned for a moment, then looked back at him: "You came down too?"
Qi Zhen sat down on the other side and held Mi Lier's other hand: "You may have to work hard these few days, I have to go back to the ancient city to deal with some business."
Ye Chuxiao nodded: "It's okay, there are doctors and nurses here, and there are not many things to do."
Qi Zhen took a deep look at her and smiled: "I will be back soon, you wait for me."
This sentence seemed to have other meanings, he hadn't said such ambiguous words for a long time, Ye Chuxiao pretended not to hear, stood up, said to push Mi Lier to go elsewhere, Qi Zhen also got up to follow.
When Ye Chuxiao pushed the wheelchair up the steps, it was a little difficult, so Qi Zhen took it over. During the exchange, the two people's hands accidentally touched each other, and Ye Chuxiao immediately shrank back.Her subconscious reaction made Qi Zhen's eyes dim, but he continued to walk forward as if nothing had happened, talking to her and Mi Li'er...
Qi Zhen left in the afternoon, and before leaving, he repeatedly told the nurse to take good care of their mother and daughter. When he left, the nurse said to Ye Chuxiao enviously, "Your husband is really kind to you."
Ye Chuxiao only smiled lightly, not wanting to talk about her personal affairs in front of outsiders.
But she doesn't gossip, which doesn't mean others don't gossip. When she went out to fetch water after a while, she heard two nurses chatting in the water room before she entered the door.
"The father of the little girl in bed 1 is really a good man. He usually stays here every day, but now he is on a business trip for a few days. He reminds him a lot, lest he will tire his wife."
"Hi—" The other nurse covered her mouth with her hand and lowered her voice, "Don't tell me, I passed by the door a few days ago and saw his wife cuddling with another man..." Before finishing speaking, Out of the corner of her eye, she suddenly caught sight of Ye Chuxiao standing at the door, she stopped talking in embarrassment, nudged the nurse next to her with her elbow, and laughed dryly, ready to go out together.
The moment she passed by, Ye Chuxiao suddenly couldn't bear it any longer, and turned to look at them with a slow and clear voice: "He is not my husband, the one who came to see me that day is."
The two looked at each other.
After that, the nurses who came to make the ward rounds seemed a little weird looking at their mother and daughter. Ye Chuxiao also felt that she was a little impulsive at the time, but she said what she said. He didn't want to meet Lu Zhengnan normally, but was treated as an affair by others.The current special situation is just for Mi Lier, and one day she will get back on track.
But she didn't expect that her and Lu Zhengnan's future had already started to deviate silently...
On the second day after Qi Zhen returned to the ancient city, he met with Lu Zhengnan, and the two parties formally discussed the specific matters of the share transfer.The price Qi Zhen offered was very low, and in the end, it was not enough for Lu Zhengnan's initial investment.
But Lu Zhengnan didn't bargain, and simply signed the contract with him.
When the two names were settled side by side on the contract, Qi Zhen curled his lips together: "From now on, this villa will not be called Zhengnan Villa."
Lu Zhengnan smiled lightly and said, "Congratulations."
"Since you're here, why don't you participate in the new listing ceremony?" Qi Zhen's tone of invitation was very "sincere".
"So urgent?" Lu Zhengnan raised his eyebrows: "That's fine."
When they came to the gate of the villa together, Lu Zhengnan discovered that Qi Zhen had invited quite a few people, which was comparable to the scale and grandeur of the initial listing.
If it's really tit for tat, you won't lose even half of your momentum.Lu Zhengnan grinned.
Qi Zhen finally stood at the center of the crowd and announced to everyone that starting today, the villa will be officially renamed "Dingqi Villa".
Everyone applauded enthusiastically, his eyes flicked across the audience, and finally paused slightly on Lu Zhengnan's face.
Lu Zhengnan looked at him, smiled, and raised his hands to applaud.
Qi Zhen looked away in satisfaction and ordered to change the brand.
With a bang, the plaque with the words "Zhengnan Villa" fell to the ground and fell to pieces.
Lu Zhengnan looked at the pieces quietly, with no expression on his face.
Qi Zhen also looked at the fragment coldly for a while, and then loudly ordered to hang up the sign.
When the four golden characters of "Dingqi Mountain Villa" shine brightly from a high place, Qi Zhen's eyes also seem to be radiant.
He finally realized his first long-cherished wish.
This time, Lu Zhengnan took the lead, clapped loudly twice, and then turned and left when everyone's eyes were fixed on him, with his back straight...
When Lu Zhengnan returned to the company, Uncle Li entered the office and angrily scolded Qi Zhen for being a wolf.
He was silent for a while, then waved his hands: "Stop scolding, if you have this time, why not pay attention to the buyer, negotiate a good price, and sell this company."
Uncle Li was shocked: "What did you say?"
"I can't keep it." Lu Zhengnan sighed and smiled: "Even with the money Qi Zhen gave, the basket still won't hold up. I'll take stock of the ancient city and sell it."
Uncle Li was so sad that he couldn't speak at once, and he stomped his feet repeatedly: "Oh...how...how did it become like this..."
"Uncle Li," Lu Zhengnan patted him on the shoulder: "The only one I feel sorry for is you old people who have been with our family for so many years. When the money is collected this time, I will definitely settle you down first, and then talk about it." other."
"Don't say that." Uncle Li's voice choked: "You and the old man have treated us well. We know it well. Now that we have gotten this far, it really makes people..."
"It doesn't matter." Lu Zhengnan comforted him: "I will invite you all back after I reopen the company in the future."
"Success, you can do it if you have the pride." Uncle Li squeezed his hand tightly: "We all believe in you, as long as you call, I will come back to work for you."
Lu Zhengnan laughed boldly, but he didn't feel well in his heart. He knew that this time, Qi Zhen would definitely put the Lu family to death and make a comeback. How could it be so easy...
When he returned to Yunshui Pavilion that night, he slept for half the night in a daze. When he woke up and looked at the dark night around him, he suddenly thought of Ye Chuxiao so much that his heart ached.
In the end, he couldn't bear it no matter what, and he dialed her phone.
She was already asleep at this time, and the bell rang for a while before waking up. She opened her eyes and looked at the screen, then at the sleeping Mi Lier, and went to a secluded place outside to answer the call.
"Hello." She just woke up, her voice was a little hoarse: "Why are you calling me at this time?"
"I just miss you." His voice was equally low and hoarse: "I can't fall asleep thinking about it, what do you think?"
Such silly love words, any woman will feel sweet in her heart, Ye Chuxiao is no exception, chuckled: "Tsk, acting like a baby again."
He is willing to act like a baby only when facing her: "Chu Xiao, I feel very tired recently."
She didn't know about his recent sufferings, she just thought that he was too busy with work and lonely, so she coaxed him distressedly: "Then you should pay more attention to rest, if you are free, come and see us."
Lu Zhengnan gave a soft "um", at this moment, he really wanted to hold her tightly in his arms, only then would he feel warm.
At this moment, Ye Chuxiao's heart is also sore, why doesn't she miss him?After being separated for so long and so far apart suddenly, without him by my side, I always feel as if something is missing, empty.
"We'll go back to the ancient city when Mi Li'er recovers from his illness." She said softly, but he was shocked and came back to his senses.
Now that his situation is so dangerous, what else can he give to their mother and daughter in the future?
This thought flashed, and my heart felt like being stabbed with a knife, and it hurt sharply.
"Go to sleep, and don't disturb Mi Lier." He forced himself to be calm: "I'm asleep too, and I have to have a meeting early tomorrow morning."
Although Ye Chuxiao was reluctant to end the call like this, she was also afraid that he would be too tired: "Okay, then you sleep well, I'll hang up."
"Okay." He hung up first.
She sighed in disappointment and returned to the ward.
And he was lying alone in the dark, no matter how hard he was to fall asleep...
From the next day, Lu Zhengnan began to look for people to talk about selling the company. In the northwest area, he has been in business for many years and has excellent strength, but the shopping malls have always been high and low. At this time, everyone said with open eyes. Nonsense, devaluing this company to nothing, and desperately lowering the price.
According to Lu Zhengnan's disposition, if he had met these people before, he would have cleaned them up, but this is not what it used to be. He desperately needs money, so he can only suppress his temper and deal with them.
When Qi Zhen heard about Lu Zhengnan's current predicament, he was overjoyed and moved his mind, thinking of annexing them altogether.
"Mr. Qi, we invested in the villa before, and recently bought shares and spent a fortune. Now we don't have much money. If we want to swallow it, I'm afraid we will have financial difficulties in the future." The subordinate Chen Jian hurriedly wanted to stop it.
"Doing business, how can you not take any risks." Qi Zhen waved his hand, what he hoped most was to take everything that Lu Zhengnan owned, every single thing, with his own hands.
Chen Jian opened his mouth, seeing his stubborn expression, he couldn't say anything more.
Immediately, he sent Chen Jian to express his intention to Lu Zhengnan.
After all, they used to be subordinates, when Chen Jian went to find Lu Zhengnan, he still hesitated.
However, when Lu Zhengnan saw him, he understood his purpose and raised his eyebrows: "Why, you, Mr. Qi, are also interested in my company?"
Chen Jian nodded awkwardly: "Yes, Boss Qi asked me to talk to you."
Lu Zhengnan smiled: "You are rich and powerful now, then I have to offer a good price."
"Just watch it, I'll go back and report to Mr. Qi." Chen Jian smiled dryly.
Lu Zhengnan immediately wrote a number on a piece of paper, folded it and handed it to him, with a secretive smile: "Then you tell Mr. Qi, if the price is lowered, we can't negotiate."
Chen Jian agreed to come out, quietly opened it in the elevator and looked at it, and was speechless...
When Chen Jian went back and reported the price to Qi Zhen, he frowned after hearing this: "Hey, this price is high enough, it's almost twice as high as what he offered to others, right?"
Chen Jian remained silent.
"He really understands me." Qi Zhen sneered, "I know that no matter how high the price is, I will buy it."
Chen Jian suddenly became a little anxious: "President Qi, don't be impulsive, you need to think about this matter..."
But Qi Zhen quickly interrupted him: "Come on, you go back and say that we can accept the price, and tell him not to talk to other people."
Chen Jian sighed silently in his heart, and had no choice but to follow suit.
When Lu Zhengnan heard what Chen Jian had said, he just smiled: "Okay, you can also help me thank you, Mr. Qi, not only saved my emergency, but also helped me settle down those old employees who have been with him before."
These words were ironic, Chen Jian didn't dare to say more, hummed a few words, and left quickly...
Basically, two major events were completed, Lu Zhengnan's property was about to fall into his own pocket, and Qi Zhen returned to Shanghai full of ambition.
Ye Chuxiao only felt that he seemed particularly high-spirited when he came back from the ancient city, but this was his business after all, and she didn't want to ask too many questions.
Because of his absence, she was worried about leaving Mi Li'er alone in the hospital, so she hadn't gone back to make soup for a long time, but since Mi Li'er drank the soup she made, she has become more picky about her appetite. I feel that it is not delicious, and it becomes difficult again.Now that Qi Zhen was here, she asked him to take care of Mi Lier, and went back to make soup by herself.
When she left, Qi Zhen looked at her back, and suddenly felt something in his heart...
When Ye Chuxiao bought the ingredients in the supermarket and returned home, after cooking the soup, he took time to take a shower and change clothes as usual.
The sound of water in the bathroom was so loud that she didn't notice it, and in the middle of washing, there was the sound of turning the key outside the door...
