When Pei Mingzhan arrived, Zhao Yao was standing under a shelter from the rain, with his driver standing beside him.
As soon as he knew that Zhao Yao was not in the hotel, he asked others to find him, and at the same time called Zhao Yao. Zhao Yao would take the initiative to leave the hotel to explain that he had to leave at this time due to a temporary incident, and not alarming others meant that the matter was still within his handling range.
But even so, Pei Mingzhan was restless when he heard the news.
Knowing that he might disturb him, he also called Zhao Yao.
The location Zhao Yao told him was a small park near his company, and there was a coffee shop next to this place. When Zhao Yao came to his company a few times ago, he asked his secretary to bring coffee twice, and Zhao Yao liked the coffee from that shop very much.
The small pavilion on the side of the road outside the park leads down to the main road in the urban area with continuous flow.
Zhao Yao was standing in the pavilion, and waved when he saw him coming.
Pei Mingzhan walked over quickly holding an umbrella. On the way, he saw several familiar passers-by, who were Zhao Yao's bodyguards who had stayed at the hotel before.
Things should be done...
"I'm not leaving, you're running in such a hurry." Zhao Yao saw Pei Mingzhan stepping into the pavilion with his long legs, and noticed that half of his suit jacket was wet.
When Pei Mingzhan saw the person in front of him, he completely let go of the big rock in his heart. He was very angry at first, but thinking of what Zhao Yao said on the phone, asking him if he would come to pick him up, all his anger was softened down.
"Why didn't you tell me when you went out, you know how dangerous it is outside now." Pei Mingzhan looked at him, his tone slowed down a little: "My boyfriend is very worried about you."
Zhao Yao said: "I came to see someone, it's not a big deal, I've already seen someone."
But I wondered if it would be better to tell him next time I go out...
When receiving Zhao Zhikai's text message, Zhao Yao thought it would be best to take this opportunity to solve other matters, so he took the initiative to make an appointment when Zhao Zhikai proposed to 'meet each other'. He doesn't do things that he is not sure about, so he has made other people arrange everything before departure, and Zhao Zhikai will not have a chance to attack him in this place.
The longer we get along, the more he knows that Pei Mingzhan will always magnify his affairs, so it's best not to let him know about going out. It's a trivial matter, and it's not good to disturb his boyfriend at work.
Pei Mingzhan looked at him quietly, remained silent for a while, and finally said helplessly, "I really underestimated you. You made such a big fuss today after all your hard work last night."
He had originally planned to finish the meeting, and was lucky enough to get back in time before someone woke up. As a result, he didn't know whether he had read the sticky notes left on the table, but the commotion was not small.
When mentioning what happened last night, Zhao Yao reacted belatedly: "I have good physical strength."
"Are you still asleep in the middle of the night?" Pei Mingzhan held his hand, "What do you want for lunch?"
Zhao Yao paused for a moment, and seriously argued: "It's just sleepy."
Pei Mingzhan tilted his head and couldn't help laughing when he saw his boyfriend's serious appearance: "Mr. Zhao, your ears are red."
Zhao Yao was taken aback for a moment, and reached out to touch his ears.
Pei Mingzhan said again: "I lied to you."
…
Two days later, the news of the death of the chairman of the Zhao Group spread across the country, and major media rushed to report it. The Zhao Group is well-known in the country, especially the chairman's achievements over the years. He is undoubtedly a successful entrepreneur in the country. The rumor of his death just came out, and countless netizens expressed their regret for it.
[Ah... Chairman Zhao seems to be very young.]
[I heard that he died of a sudden serious illness abroad, and the news broke out only two days ago.]
[Don't say, this boss is very good, but his married life is not good. You may not have noticed the scandal of the Zhao family a while ago. His wife was taken away for investigation.]
[I heard that he had three wives and several sons under him. The sudden death may cause the wealthy family to engage in infighting or something. So much money does not know who falls into the hands.]
…
There was a lot of discussion on the Internet, and the Zhao Group quickly became the focus of public opinion. Not only that, but this news also reached Zhao Fan's place. Countless people waited and watched on the shore for such a big news. God knows how the stock price will change, and they don't know who will inherit the most property in the end.
Because Zhao Yao was considered a celebrity on the Internet some time ago, after this incident, many marketing accounts liked to use his name as a gimmick to publicize, but he was quickly suppressed by Zhao Yao's team.
[Ah this...]
[The Zhao Group seems to have been under the management of the Zhao family for the past two years, and Chairman Zhao has been ill for a while.]
[Terrible, things about wealthy families are really a little uncertain.]
[Don't substitute fiction into reality, you spend a little more time researching the Zhao Group, and many things are clear, there is no marketing account to exaggerate, and Mr. Zhao probably won't get involved.]
[My friend told me that Xiao Zhao seems to have left the group a long time ago.]
Huang Wenjun went to work as usual today, and when he got there, he found that the people in the team were busy dealing with the public opinion on the Internet for Mr. Zhao.
He is clear about the situation in the team, but seeing the current situation, he thinks that Zhao Yao's means still can't beat Zhao Zhikai, these people don't know yet, the project that Zhao Yao wants to cooperate with Zhao Changshuo will be caught by his boss immediately Come out, when the time comes, a hat will be put directly on Zhao Changshuo's head, seeing what Zhao Changshuo can save when he comes back from abroad.
After this matter was settled, he submitted his resignation letter as if nothing had happened, and then returned to work at the Zhao Group, and his boss had promised him everything.
The office is very busy at the moment. As soon as Huang Wenjun turned on the computer, he saw Yao Zhu standing beside him. He immediately became vigilant and asked with a smile, "Yao Zhu, do you have any arrangements?"
Yao Bai looked at Huang Wenjun, the complacent attitude on this man's face hadn't completely dissipated, so to speak, the one who helped Zhao Zhikai get a lot of votes not only spread the news, but also leaked the information in the team. According to the behavior of his competent subordinate, returning to Zhao Zhikai's side would make him a prosperous man, and he should have been very happy.
"Oh, it's nothing, just someone looking for you." Yao Bai glanced to the side, "Over there in the lounge."
Huang Wenjun was puzzled, but he still walked over to check the situation.
As a result, as soon as he entered the lounge, he saw two people in police uniforms sitting. Seeing him coming, he said directly, "Huang Wenjun, right? Come with us."
Huang Wenjun was taken aback for a moment, and when he turned around, he saw Yao Bai standing at the door of the lounge with folded arms, and said to him, "What are you looking at me for? When you were doing things for Zhao Zhikai, weren't you very energetic? Why don't you think about it?" , does he still have a chance to catch you?"
He looked at the two in front of him, and then suddenly understood: "You actually knew it a long time ago, didn't you?"
Yao Bai spread out his hands, "Who knows."
"Please come with us."
Huang Wenjun looked pale, looked at the two policemen who were approaching him, and lowered his head dejectedly.
-*
When there was a lot of discussion on the Internet, the group was also in chaos. Zhao Zhikai broke the can and directly put the things he had sorted out about the loopholes in Zhao Changshuo's project on the board of directors, and even put pressure on other shareholders together with many people. Overnight, many powers changed, and Zhao Zhikai resolutely wanted to seize the opportunity before Zhao Changshuo did it.
Zhao Yao's threat to him didn't cause too many disturbances, it can be said that he didn't take Zhao Yao seriously at all. At the coffee shop, Zhao Zhikai was disturbed by Zhao Yao's few words. Later, he thought about it carefully, even if Zhao Yao found out these things, so what? Want to find out all the evidence
It has to be said that Zhao Yao's bargaining chip is in place. These things are indeed secret things, and few people know about them except his relatives. Since Zhao Yao could know this, there must be Zhao Yao's eyeliner on his side, but it is not so easy for him to rely on a written statement without any evidence to influence his actions.
Zhao Zhikai originally thought so, and even prepared follow-up measures against Zhao Yao. As for the undercover matter, when the time comes when he stabilizes the group, he will find someone to ask him and see how Zhao Yao can show off in front of him.
But just when he thought the big event was about to come true, Zhao Changshuo had already finished handling foreign affairs and was about to return home.
"Didn't the people who went to country Y stop him?" Zhao Zhikai stood in the office that belonged exclusively to the chairman of the group. Outside the floor-to-ceiling windows, there were many urban buildings, but he was anxiously preparing for the next deployment: "Let others get ready, Zhao Changshuo." It doesn't matter if you come back, he can't take care of the project, as long as... "
"Boss." The confidant walked in anxiously, "Several shareholders have come here on purpose. I heard that the young master contacted them. And the young master also brought back the chairman's secretary and lawyer. It seems that the will has been finalized." .”
"Trash." Zhao Zhikai gritted his teeth: "Where is the person we arranged?"
The confidant's face was ugly, "I lost contact."
Zhao Zhikai clenched his fists and was about to lose his temper when he suddenly saw his secretary rushing in from the door, "Boss, the Internet has already..."
Before the secretary could finish speaking, a few middle-aged men in suits came over from outside, followed by the assistant secretary, and the battle seemed a bit big.
The leading middle-aged man saw Zhao Zhikai and called out, "Old Zhao."
Zhao Zhikai had no choice but to suppress his temper, and greeted him with a smile on his face: "Dong Liu, why are you here at this time?"
This is a shareholder who has not yet joined the team, and I don't know what it means to come here at this time? Did Zhao Changshuo win him over in advance
When the middle-aged man known as Liu Dong saw Zhao Zhikai's appearance, he didn't have a smile on his face, but instead asked him: "Are you asking me? I still want to ask you, you, Zhao Zhikai, are very capable, and you are not bad at taking bribes." Say, scandals are flying all over the sky?"
Zhao Zhikai paused, and said with a smile: "Dr. Liu, where did you hear the rumors? There's no such thing..."
Liu Dong sneered, "No? Then everything said on the Internet is false?"
Only then did Zhao Zhikai realize that something was wrong. He looked at the secretary, who explained to him in a low voice with an ugly expression, and then handed the tablet in front of him.
During this period of time on the Internet, due to the death of the chairman of the Zhao Group, there was a lot of noise about internal transfers. Zhao Zhikai originally thought that what the secretary said was referring to these negative things, but he did not expect his name to be in the news on the tablet. Listed all the things he had done before, even on the homepages of major apps.
Zhao Zhikai's expression changed suddenly: "Where's the PR, let's leave these things alone?!"
The secretary shook his head.
Liu Dong then said: "Old Zhao, please explain this matter clearly at the meeting later. In addition, you pointed out at the meeting a few days ago that Zhao Changshuo and Zhao Yao cooperated in private. Zhao Changshuo stated that this matter is purely Slander, just now he sent us a project proposal, there is indeed such a thing as cooperation, but the person who cooperated with him is not Zhao Yao, and he has also gone through procedures in the company, but it has not been announced yet."
Zhao Zhikai's face changed immediately, he thought of Zhao Yao's calm face when he thought of the coffee shop, at this moment it appeared in his mind like a mockery, "What do you mean?"
He confirmed this matter after double confirmation from the people who stayed with Zhao Changshuo and Huang Wenjun who was hiding in Zhao Yao's team, but now he is told that this cooperation is fake, and he was followed by Zhao Changshuo from the beginning to the end. Zhao Yao is playing around
How is this possible
Thinking of this, he felt a sudden fear in his heart. The paper document that Zhao Yao handed him in the coffee shop...
The building of the Zhao Group is close at hand, and Zhao Changshuo said to the person on the phone: "Thanks to your help these days, we are going to close the network here."
The secretary next to him handed over the tablet, which contained the contents of the upcoming meeting.
Zhao Changshuo glanced twice, and then continued: "I have ordered the legal affairs to go through the relevant evidence you gave me. What Zhao Zhikai did is obvious and no one can protect him. In addition, he has been stirring up disputes in the group these days. , Many shareholders have already expressed their meaning. The content of the father's will has the absolute right to speak, you can rest assured about this... "
The car stopped in front of the building, and the secretary got out of the car and helped open the door.
Zhao Changshuo ended the final conversation with the person on the other side of the phone, "Thank you, I will give you a complete answer to this matter."
"Boss, we're here." The secretary said.
Zhao Changshuo hung up the phone and looked directly at the tall buildings.
Half of the quilt in the hotel fell on the ground, Zhao Yao leaned slightly beside him, and the headlines of various websites were displayed on the tablet in his hand. He had just finished talking with Zhao Changshuo when he received a call from another person.
An old and deep voice sounded on the other side of the phone: "He just received the news that the meeting will start in a while, just as you thought before, the other directors were very dissatisfied after knowing about this incident, and your elder brother is already going through the procedure .”
He finished speaking: "Zhao Yao, uncle asks you, do you really don't want to fight with your elder brother?"
Zhao Yao raised his head slightly and saw Pei Mingzhan coming out of the bathroom, wearing casual clothes.
He said: "Uncle Liu, when I left the group last year, I already expressed my attitude. I don't want to take over a business as big as the Zhao Group. Zhao Changshuo is more suitable than me. You don't need to say that again."
On the other side of the phone, Chairman Liu paused for a moment when he heard the reply, and then said earnestly: "No matter what you think, just don't regret it in the future. You are very much like your mother, with a stubbornness."
Zhao Yao smiled slightly and said, "I think you are praising me."
"Don't worry, let Zhao Zhikai mess around these few days, and all accounts will be settled today." Standing outside the meeting room, Director Liu saw that other directors had arrived, so he planned to hang up with Zhao Yao: "This matter will be treated as uncle's help." is you."
Seeing that Zhao Yao hung up the phone with someone, Pei Mingzhan asked, "Finished?"
"It's over." Seeing that Pei Mingzhan had changed, Zhao Yao asked, "Are you really not going to work today?"
When Zhao Yao woke up in the morning, he saw that Pei Mingzhan hadn't woken up yet, and today was still a working day. With his usual dedication to work, this situation was very abnormal. Seeing that he woke up, Pei Mingzhan dragged him back to sleep, and the two of them waited until after ten o'clock to get up, directly missing a breakfast.
"No." In order to spare time to accompany Zhao Yao, Pei Mingzhan compressed all the work for a few days. Together with the weekend vacation, he and Zhao Yao now have three days off.
At noon, he planned to take Zhao Yao to eat at a restaurant that has been buzzing on the Internet recently.
Seeing that Zhao Yao was still sitting by the bed, Pei Mingzhan said, "Go and change quickly, we'll go out when we're ready."
The restaurant the two of them planned to go to was a restaurant with a high rating on the Internet recently. It turned out to be an old-fashioned restaurant with a good reputation but not well-known in S City. Later, because of the publicity of food bloggers, it became a famous online celebrity restaurant recently. Because the restaurant has a reservation system, Pei Mingzhan asked the secretary to reserve a box a few days ago, and the two of them will not go out until they are ready.
Soon the driver sent the two of them near the restaurant, surrounded by pedestrian streets, and it was difficult for vehicles to enter.
Zhao Yao greeted the bodyguards following him, and after making sure that there was no problem, he entered the pedestrian street with Pei Mingzhan. It was easier for the two to go out. Considering Pei Mingzhan's status, both of them wore masks and hats, but they couldn't resist the crowds on the pedestrian street.
"There are already so many people before noon?" Zhao Yao turned his head slightly to pay attention to the surrounding situation, "Have you reported to your manager when you travel?"
It can be said that Pei Mingzhan has completely faded out of the entertainment circle recently. Most of the popularity of "Fantasy Movie" has gone. Now the popularity of online discussions is all about other new dramas such as "Li Meng". The time is very common, but Pei Mingzhan started to open this year and said that there are no activities at all, and the popularity on the Internet has decreased.
"If you are followed, just tell me straight up. It's nothing. I just come to an online celebrity restaurant with my friends." Pei Mingzhan was very casual. Seeing the long dragon not far away, he smiled and said, "I'll let you come early, here They're all starting to line up."
It was the first time for Zhao Yao to eat at an online celebrity restaurant. He heard that there would be a queue, but he didn't expect that there was already a long queue here before noon. He followed behind Pei Mingzhan, and then stood at the door to confirm the appointment with the waiter.
The waiter checked the registration records, "Is it Mr. Pei? The box you reserved is on the second floor."
Pei Mingzhan nodded, and then a waiter came out to guide them.
The people who lined up on the side were surprised when these two people walked over. Although they were so tightly covered that they couldn't see their faces, judging from their appearance, these two people should be very handsome.
"Is it my illusion? Why do I feel that those two seem to be stars?"
"No way, celebrities come to eat at the Internet celebrity restaurant during meal times, are they not afraid of fans following them from beginning to end?"
"There don't seem to be any assistants around. It feels like there are only two handsome guys out for dinner."
"Be bolder, go up and ask for a vx?"
"Not so good, that man looks a bit like my male god."
Mu Tingting was queuing up with her friends to eat at the online celebrity restaurant, and she noticed the two from the intersection. Because she was on vacation, she made an appointment with her friends to come to S city to have a look and pick up the scenery, and then came to eat at this famous online celebrity restaurant.
When the accompanying friend asked her if those two were celebrities, she was stunned for a moment, "Probably not."
The friend said: "Don't you often take photos of celebrities? I thought you looked familiar, and I kept staring."
Mu Tingting was a little embarrassed when she heard the words, but after being mentioned by her friend, she looked at the two of them more carefully. The more she looked, the more she felt that the boy standing behind was a bit like her new wall, Xiao Zhao.
When the waiter came out to guide people, the boy gave them a slight sideways look, and then quickly looked away and entered the shop. It was just a glance, but the boy must have noticed that she was looking at him just now.
Mu Tingting was taken aback for a moment, and there was always an inexplicable feeling in her heart, no way, it seems to be true? ?
Seeing this, my friend said: "However, rich people are really rare now, and they also come to line up to eat at online celebrity restaurants. I heard that this restaurant is very difficult to make reservations online, and it seems that they have to queue up to make reservations."
"Ah?" Mu Tingting asked.
The friend said: "Just now you looked at those two, those on them are high-end brands, they look simple, and the price is the same." She compared the numbers, "But the temperament is really different, you look at the people around you. Looking at them, it is not an exaggeration to say that they are stars."
Mu Tingting paused, and suddenly became serious, "When you say that, I suddenly remembered that they looked familiar in that hat..."
As soon as she finished speaking, she saw a picture of Pei Zhao CP's trip in the photo album of her mobile phone, and a certain style of hat was clearly photographed in it.
