When Bai Jinming arrived, He Cheng just came down from upstairs, and Mai Xing was standing at the gate of the company. There were two people a mile away, one with a cold face and the other with a sinister smile.

The atmosphere was a bit weird, Bai Jinming hesitated for a moment whether to go forward, and then heard Mai Xing say, "It's a big night this weekend, Mr. He still needs to work overtime, it's really hard."

It seemed that no matter what word came into his mouth, the taste changed, He Cheng frowned in disgust, and said coldly, "Everyone, each other."

Mai Xing smiled even more, raised his hand, and made a "please" gesture, "Since Mr. He is so busy, let me make a long story short, do you mind lending me a little time?"

Before He Cheng could speak, he said to the secretary on the side, "Excuse me, let's open a meeting room."

The secretary looked at He Cheng in embarrassment, hesitating how to refuse, but He Cheng waved his hand and said, "Go."

"He Cheng!" Bai Jinming couldn't bear it anymore, and reminded loudly.

He Cheng ignored him, turned around and went upstairs.

Mai Xing followed behind him, with a very uncomfortable smile on his face, which made Bai Jinming sick to his stomach.

But the atmosphere was not as stiff as expected, maybe the two of them won't quarrel again.

Thinking optimistically like this, Bai Jinming slowly relaxed, only then did he notice that he was holding on to his phone all the time. I didn't know when the phone was hung up, and when I called again, there was still an emotionless "the other party has turned off the phone".

"What's the matter..." Bai Jinming rubbed his forehead and murmured with a headache.

He Cheng watched Mai Xing close the door of the meeting room, and said coldly, "I'll only give you ten minutes."

"Don't be like this, let's just be friends." Mai Xing pulled out the chair and sat down with his legs spread apart without hesitation, "Twenty years ago, there was still a share of the Mai family in this building."

"Three percent. When your family withdrew the capital, my father had already returned his share of the money to him. Now, everything here has nothing to do with your family."

Mai Xing shook his head, "There used to be, although not now, it doesn't mean there won't be in the future."

He Cheng sneered, "You don't understand human language? The He family won't have any business dealings with you, I won't, my dad won't, even the Bai family, you go downstairs and ask Bai Jinming to see if he will." I won't talk to you."

Mai Xing pursed his beating smile, and fiddled with the chair in front of him with his toes, but was kicked away by He Cheng.

He Cheng crossed his arms and looked down at him, "You have time to talk nonsense, why not spend some time thinking about how to clean up the mess in your family. After so many years of being a prodigal, no matter how rich the family is, it will sooner or later To lose light, right?"

In high school, what He Cheng didn't understand the most was that when other people said all the good things, even pointing at their noses and scolding, Mai Xing would always have a smile on his face.

After so many years, He Cheng still wanted to lift his foot and kick this man's face fiercely. It's too bad a view.

With a loud voice, Mai Xing leaned on the chair and said slowly, "He Cheng, to be honest, you don't need to pretend to me. I know a lot about you, and in the business world, you don't just have money and status. Steady. Sometimes, you have to give yourself three points when you speak.”

He Cheng's face darkened. He dislikes being threatened the most.

Mai Xing leaned forward, and said with a pleasant face, "He Cheng, I know you. You have always wanted everything since you were a child. You are really capable. You can get what you want, but when you get it, you will be careful." If you can’t keep it, you have to say something.”

Seeing that He Cheng frowned and didn't respond, he chuckled, "Your darling, you have to watch over it from now on, don't let anyone cut you off again."

"You f|mother is sick."

Mai Xing didn't feel annoyed, but just stared at him with those evil eyes, and gradually, an ominous feeling rose in He Cheng's heart.

Could it be that Mai Xing really got something wrong

Baby... He Cheng doesn't have any special hobbies, the only one who can be called a baby is...

No, if Mai Xing dares to touch Qiao An now, the Qiao family will definitely take his skin off.

Knowing how much Qiao An's father valued Qiao An, and Qiao An was naturally safe without hearing the news of the accident, He Cheng sneered in his heart, he had seen this bluffing trick a lot these years.

Mai Xing grinned, "Hehe, don't you believe me?"

He Cheng resisted the urge to beat him up, and said, "If you have nothing else to do, get out quickly."

Not caring about the oppressive shadow pressing down from the top of his head, Mai Xing tapped his fingers on the table again and again, making annoying noises.

Boom, boom, boom...

He Cheng almost reached out to grab his collar, when his cell phone rang suddenly.

Mai Xing made a gesture of excuse, and turned his gaze to other corners of the conference room.

The sudden call interrupted the anger, He Cheng took a deep breath, and answered it without looking at it.

"Hey."

"..."

"say."

"..."

The voice on the other end of the phone was a bit noisy, He Cheng couldn't hear the caller's voice, and the temper that had just been suppressed surged up again in an instant.

Just as he was about to hang up, an extremely weak voice came from the receiver, "He Cheng...?"

"It's you?" He Cheng frowned. How dare Xu Ran call him

Probably because of bad signal, Xu Ran's voice was intermittent, which made He Cheng feel restless.

"He Cheng, I'm...uh..."

"The signal is not good at your place." He Cheng held his temper, gritted his teeth and said, "Talk about it in another place."

"sand… "

"Xu Ran?"

"He Cheng, you have to be careful, sell... well, sell..."

He Cheng was completely annoyed, and said in a low voice with a cold face, "I have something to solve by myself, I don't have time."

"No… "

"I'll talk about what I want later, I still have a job."

Hanging up the phone without hesitation, He Cheng's anger had reached its peak. Even when the two were still together, Xu Ran didn't dare to call so blatantly asking for this or that, or selling it? What to sell, he wants to do a small business? He wasn't so eager to ask for money before, but now it's good, after breaking up, he started to feel that he didn't get enough money, and wanted to turn back

If this is the case, then He Cheng feels that he has really misjudged the person.

Put away the phone, turned around and found that Mai Xing was looking at him with great interest.

"What?" He Cheng frowned, ignoring his vague scrutiny.

Mai Xing shrugged, "It's okay, I just think Mr. He is very courageous. Is it a family matter?"

"Nothing to do with you."

Mai Xing laughed, stood up after a long while, "Since you are so busy, I don't bother you much, I just hope you can think about it again. Twenty years ago, the cooperation between you and me pushed this company to its peak. Now, we can also follow the old ways of the old men, can't we?"

He Cheng almost said the words "get out of here", snorted coldly, and didn't express his opinion.

Just a few steps after Mai Xing walked out, He Cheng's cell phone rang again.

This time he simply turned off the phone.

Through the reflection of the glass door, Mai Xing could clearly see his movements, and he didn't stop at all in his leaving footsteps, but Bai Jinming, who was waiting outside, could clearly see that there was an almost crazy smile on his face, as if he had discovered Whatever interesting things, there is a strange light in his eyes.

Watching him leave, Bai Jinming rubbed the goosebumps on his arms and entered the conference room.

"That guy is getting more and more evil, why don't you hire two more security guards, and just drive him away when you see him, so as not to get bad luck."

"He's just trying to split his shares, and he's not looking in the mirror to see what he is."

He Cheng leaned on the conference table, looking at the direction where Mai Xing disappeared as if looking at some garbage.

"You didn't quarrel with him, did you?" Bai Jinming was a little worried, "Although the Mai family has failed in the past two years, the relationship with the outside world is still there. If they target you..."

"He dare not." He Cheng said decisively.

Since the person involved was so sure, Bai Jinming had no choice but to stop worrying, and was about to go back to eat the barbecue that he hadn't eaten yet. When he turned his head and thought about it, he suddenly looked at He Cheng with some embarrassment.

He Cheng scolded, "Why are both of you so annoying, talk quickly if you have something to say."

"You..." Bai Jinming swallowed, "Do you know Xu Ran, um, where does he usually go on weekends?"

Unexpectedly, he would say Xu Ran's name, He Cheng paused, and said dissatisfiedly, "Why mention him?"

"No, one of his friends said he couldn't be contacted. He happened to meet me and asked me to find him." Bai Jinming felt his conscience and didn't confess He Yuxuan, and said, "I called him and the phone turned off, isn't it because he has bad legs? , ask you where he can usually go."

"How do I know?" He Cheng asked back.

Bai Jinming was taken aback by him for a long time before he said, "Have you two been together for ten years?"

"He can go wherever he likes, does it have anything to do with me?" He Cheng rubbed his neck irritably, "He's fine, he called me just now and said he wanted to sell something, but I didn't hear clearly, maybe he wanted to sell something. money."

"He contacted you?" Bai Jinming said in surprise, "No, he won't answer when I call him."

"Change your phone, and what can happen to him, huh? Can a living person not even take care of himself?"

When Xu Ran is mentioned, for some reason, an inexplicable anxiety always arises from the depths of his heart. He Cheng is almost driven crazy by this mood, and asks angrily, "Why do you always keep the same words lately? What on earth does he want to do?"

Bai Jinming couldn't stand him saying this the most, and immediately swallowed the words that just slipped out of his mouth, paused, and said, "I just feel that after all these years, you don't seem to understand him at all."

Before He Cheng got angry, he continued, "Everyone is an adult, you haven't had a good time with the wild ducks outside, but you should also know that the two of you are not just going to bed together. I just want to know, what makes you happy?" You kept him by your side for so many years?"

This question got to He Cheng's heart.

To be honest, he didn't know either.

At first, he was unconvinced, wanting to prove that even without Joan, it would be possible to change someone, but then it gradually became a habit. It is always necessary to meet the physiological needs. Instead of looking for wild ones outside, it is better to keep one at home, which is clean and hygienic.

Especially this one doesn't cost a lot of money, is obedient and doesn't make a fuss, but sometimes it can make people angry, but in general it's okay.

He Cheng touched his neck again. I have been working too much overtime recently, and I feel particularly uncomfortable in my shoulders and necks. I didn't feel this way when I was busy with work.

In the end, he answered Bai Jinming, "The points are all divided, is it meaningful to ask these questions now?"

Bai Jinming knew early on that he had such an unreasonable temperament, so he shook his head with a wry smile.

Recently, he had a lot of work and was harassed by Mai Xing. He Cheng just wanted to go home and rest. He left first, and Bai Jinming helped him explain to the security guard to close the door.

Unexpectedly, the security guard took out a package and said, "This is a gentleman who stayed here and said it was for Mr. He."

"For He Cheng?" Bai Jinming took the yellow kraft paper bag, weighed it, but it was not heavy, "Who kept it?"

"The gentleman who came out of the building just now." The security guard still felt quite strange, "Isn't he the same company as you and Mr. He?"

Is it Maxing? Bai Jinming's expression changed. What Mai Xing left behind must not be a good thing.

It is definitely not an important item such as a contract based on the feel of the hand. Bai Jinming always felt that something was wrong, so he just tore the paper bag open and poured out the contents.

A few photos fell into the palm of his hand, and after just one glance, Bai Jinming's head exploded.

this is? !

Desperately suppressing the flashing images in his mind, he called He Cheng as quickly as possible, but he didn't expect that guy to rush home, and he didn't even think about turning on the phone again.

He Cheng, you are really harmful...

Having known He Cheng for so many years, this is the first time Bai Jinming has the urge to stomp and curse at him.
