The temperature dropped at night, and Aunt Qiao brought Ye Zhao a thick quilt. The cotton was newly dried, and his unique fragrance could be smelled through the quilt cover.
Ye Zhao wrapped himself tightly in a thick quilt. His eyelids were already very sleepy, but his mind was clear and he couldn't fall asleep.
If Guo Xuyan was a lesbian, why did she give birth to her original body with Ye Dingguo? Was she forced or was it a helpless choice for some purpose
If she was forced, with Guo Xuyan's arrogant and paranoid personality, would she let Ye Dingguo go so easily
It should be the latter, a helpless choice for some purpose.
Now the only thing Ye Zhao can be sure of is that Ye Dingguo loves Guo Xuyan, otherwise he would not name the factory after Guo Xuyan’s English name.
Guo Xuyan is most likely to have no love for Ye Dingguo. When faced with Ye Zhao, a child born with someone she doesn't love, she probably feels nothing but rejection in her heart, right
Ye Zhao sighed silently.
An unexpected life, became a painful passer-by in this world, and she felt sad for her original self.
Ye Zhao woke up the dormant system and asked it, "Can I not see Guo Xuyan?"
System: "You have to see it at least once, otherwise how can you say you have found it?"
Ye Zhao asked back: "What is the standard for finding it?"
System: "Confirm in person that she is Guo Xuyan."
Ye Zhao: "Do you need her to admit that she is Guo Xuyan?"
System: "No need. You don't need to identify her. As long as you see her and talk to her, the system will automatically identify her."
Ye Zhao: "That is to say, I don't need to recognize her."
The system reminds: "The original owner's wish is to find his biological mother, but he didn't say whether he wants to recognize her or not. This is up to you."
Ye Zhao understood, so they decided not to recognize each other when they met and not to make things difficult for each other.
The next day, Ye Zhao went to school to hand in her final paper. She came back in the afternoon and was busy with other things at the company. Another day passed before she went to the factory to find Su Yingmin.
Su Yingmin was in a meeting in the conference room, and she was sitting in his office waiting for him.
She sat there waiting for almost two hours.
Su Yingmin knew she was coming, but he didn't know whether it was intentional or she was really that busy. She waited until he finished the meeting and arranged everything before returning to the office.
"I waited for you all day yesterday, why didn't you come?"
Ye Zhao was too sleepy, so she took a nap on the sofa. When she heard Su Yingmin's voice, she opened her eyes, looked at her watch, and said slowly, "So, you deliberately made me wait for you here for two hours today, right?"
Su Yingmin put the yearbook on the table and said with a smile, "Is your Uncle Su a stingy person? I made time yesterday to wait for you. All my meetings have been squeezed into today. After talking to you, I still have to continue the meeting."
Ye Zhao smiled half-seriously and said, "Thank you, Uncle Su, for taking the time out of your busy schedule to meet me."
The irony of this sentence was obvious, but Su Yingmin was not angry. He smiled and said, "I'm sorry to have kept you waiting for so long. Now you are the boss and I am the worker. I work so hard, shouldn't you, as the boss, praise me?"
Ye Zhao also smiled: "You are also one of the bosses. Look, I came here today to apply for money."
Su Yingmin's face darkened: "It's not that Uncle Su wants to control your purse, I'm just afraid that you'll be cheated, understand?"
Ye Zhao's mouth was dry. She took a sip of the soda beside her and said, "Uncle Su, do you think ordinary people can cheat me out of my money?"
"I'm just afraid that the person you met is not an ordinary person."
"No matter how powerful the person is, he has his own tricks, and I have my own way." Ye Zhao smiled and changed the subject cunningly, "Even if you want to cheat me of my money, it will be difficult. Why don't you try?"
Su Yingmin was caught by Ye Zhao's half-joking words. He wanted to get angry, but she looked like she was joking. If he really got angry, it would make him look petty. If he really wanted to be angry, he could only pretend to be angry: "If you do this again, Uncle Su will be really angry."
Ye Zhao put away his smile obediently, "I'm not kidding, this money is very important to me."
Su Yingmin picked up the water cup and walked to the table where the thermos was placed to pour hot water. "Can you tell me so that I can check it for you first? If you don't tell your uncle anything, I will definitely be anxious. If I don't give it to you, you will say that I cheated you of your money. If I give it to you, I am afraid that your money will be cheated. What do you want your uncle to do?"
Ye Zhao thought about it and it made sense. Putting aside the issue of whether he was the boss or not, if Su Yingmin was just acting as a responsible elder, he did nothing wrong.
But the secret cannot be revealed. Ye Zhao couldn't tell Su Yingmin that she was going to buy stocks. If she did, he would definitely stop her. She thought about it and found an excuse: "There is an unfinished building that I want to buy."
Su Yingmin drank a sip of hot water and asked curiously, "Where is the unfinished building worth five million yuan?"
Where
Ye Zhao suddenly had an idea and was about to say Fortune Building, but Su Yingmin pointed outwards and asked, "Could it be Fortune Building?"
After Su Yingmin's guess, Ye Zhao was in a dilemma to answer directly. What if the other party knew more about the Fortune Building than she did
Ye Zhao pretended to be mysterious and said, "I can't tell you which building it is yet."
Su Yingmin was a little bit unbelieving, "Can Fortune Building be bought for 5 million?"
The money for the land is not enough for that location.
Ye Zhao really didn't know how much the Fortune Building would cost, but she couldn't just make up a number, lest she be exposed. She said, "It's not just me. The specific price involves commercial secrets, so I can't disclose it."
"Is it really the Fortune Building? It would be a great place if you could buy it! But I heard that the Feng Shui of the Fortune Building is not very good..."
It seems that Su Yingmin really knows something about Fortune Building. Ye Zhao hurriedly said, "I didn't say it was Fortune Building."
Su Yingmin was confused, but unlike Ye Dingguo, he believed that Shenzhen's real estate market would pick up sooner or later, and now was definitely a good time to invest in real estate.
Before he agreed, Manager Chen from the Finance Department knocked on the door and said, "Boss Ye, Boss Su..."
Just as Su Yingmin was about to ask what was going on, Ye Zhao responded, "Manager Chen, how is it going? How soon can you transfer the money?"
Manager Chen came in and said, "I asked the bank. If it's the same bank, it will be done tomorrow."
"Then arrange it." Ye Zhao said, turning back to look at Su Yingmin who was still a little stunned, and said, "Uncle Su, 6 million, according to the shares, I get 5.7 million, and you get 300,000."
Su Yingmin was not stupid either. It was obvious that Ye Zhao was not sitting here waiting for him foolishly. When he did not come back from the meeting, she went directly to the finance department to arrange the payment.
The arrow has been drawn, can he object
There was no point in objecting. Ye Zhao hadn't even asked for his opinion just now. Even if he had, could he object in front of the financial manager
After objecting, he was rejected by this little girl in front of the financial manager?! Where would his authority be in the factory in the future
This is called being held at the weakest point!
He could only watch as Ye Zhao took the pen handed over by Manager Chen and signed his name. This was a private factory with only two shareholders, so the boss had the final say.
Ye Zhao had already signed, how could he not sign? He had to sign even if he was very angry.
After signing, Su Yingmin watched Manager Chen take the bill and leave. He rubbed his head and wanted to get angry. What did he think of him? ! Little girl! ! ! !
Before the fire started, Ye Zhao handed over a car key. Su Yingmin was stunned for a moment and asked, "What?"
"I thought about my dad's Audi. Among all the people around me, you are the only one who is most qualified to drive it, Uncle Su."
Su Yingmin smiled awkwardly, his anger having subsided by half, "Ah, it doesn't matter what car I drive."
Su Yingmin now drives a Santana. He has long wanted Ye Dingguo's luxury car, but he has never found a chance to ask for it.
Ye Zhao said: "Of course it's different. There are only a few Audis in China. Uncle Su, you drive this car. It's a symbol of status."
Su Yingmin swallowed and didn't answer. The anger he had just felt was gone. He walked back to his desk, put the cup on the table, and said with a smile, "You..."
You, you've got your uncle Su in your hands anyway!
Ye Zhao put the keys on his desk and said with a smile, "I've asked the driver to fill up your tank."
The issue of dividing the money was a foregone conclusion. Su Yingmin knew that it was useless to get angry. He couldn't let this ruin his relationship with Ye Zhao. Besides, at least the other party had given him a way out, so he could only take it.
He remembered something else and said, "You didn't come yesterday, Bai Lu came, and cried here for an hour."
Ye Zhao was not surprised that Bai Lu came to Su Yingmin: "She came to you to ask for mercy?"
"I asked lawyer Wang that although the amount of money involved in their forged will was huge, since it was unsuccessful, there was no financial loss, so the prison sentence would probably not be long."
Lawyer Wang told her that day. Ye Zhao said, "It was expected."
Su Yingmin pulled out a chair and sat down, saying, "Bai Lu wants you to issue a letter of forgiveness. If you have a letter of forgiveness, the judge will give a lighter sentence. For a pregnant woman like Gao Yueyue, the judge might directly give her a suspended sentence. What do you think?"
"Why doesn't she just come and beg me?"
"If she asks you directly, will you agree?"
"No. Even if it's just one month, I'll let them stay in there for the full month."
Su Yingmin had also expected this. He knew Ye Zhao would not agree, but he did not directly reject Bai Lu yesterday. He was also thinking about seeing if there was any relief. If there was, he would be a good person. If not, there was nothing he could do.
He didn't want to have a conflict with Ye Zhao because of this matter.
Su Yingmin asked again: "What about the house? What are you going to do with it?"
"What can we do? Of course, we will take them all back. After we take them back and sell them, we will donate the proceeds to Dongshan Town to build a school. After the New Year, we will ask them to move out. If they don't move out, I will ask the people of Zengwuwei to take them out. You know there are all kinds of people in Zengwuwei. It would be better for these two families to take the initiative to move out in advance and not let others do it."
Su Yingmin asked: "Is it really that absolute?"
"What's so special about this? They all have their own private money. Even if they move out, they will still live better than ordinary people."
Su Yingmin nodded: "I know what you mean, I will convey it to you. Bai Lu is studying at North China University and will not stay here in the future. It's good that we won't have any intersection anymore."
While they were still chatting, the mobile phone in Ye Zhao's backpack rang. She took out her cell phone and answered it. It was Manager Han from Shenzhen Agricultural Cooperation. Ye Zhao quickly stood up, waved to Su Yingmin, and went out.
Manager Han called and said that the leadership agreed to a 99% discount, but it still needs to be reported to the higher authorities for approval. I estimate there will be a reply tomorrow.
A 99% discount can save you 80,000 yuan.
Ye Zhao quickly agreed, saying that the funds would be in place tomorrow and the transaction could be carried out the day after tomorrow.
I originally thought that I could easily win the Shenzhen Agricultural Cooperative Association, but unexpectedly problems arose along the way.
In the evening, she was chatting with Aunt Qiao at home when Manager Han called again. This time, she knew from his tone that it was not good news. The signal on her mobile phone was not good, so she could not hear clearly what the other party was saying. Ye Zhao asked him if he was still in the office, and she called him back on the landline.
When the landline phone call was connected, Manager Han said directly: "The higher-ups don't approve it!"
Ye Zhao was surprised: "Why not approve it?"
Manager Han sighed and said, "It's okay to buy less, but not so much."
Ye Zhao didn't understand, so she asked, "Aren't they all unsaleable? They're not in short supply, so why are they limiting sales?"
After Manager Han's explanation, Ye Zhao finally understood that he was afraid that she would seize power after becoming the largest shareholder.
Manager Han: “Municipal state-owned assets.”
"How much do they own?"
"The total share capital is 1 million shares, the municipal state-owned assets account for 20%, and the remaining 800,000 shares are publicly issued."
Ye Zhao: "That is to say, I can't go higher than 20%, right? I can only buy up to 200,000 shares, right?"
Manager Han said, "Yes, that's what I mean. But it doesn't matter. My boss said that even if you only buy 19%, we will try to get you a 99% discount."
This discount doesn’t mean much to Ye Zhao now, it can only be regarded as better than nothing.
It can be heard that Manager Han and his leader really want to make this deal. Ye Zhao thought for a moment and said, "Can I meet with the leader of the municipal state-owned assets department?"
"You still want to fight for it?"
"Yes, I want to fight for it." Not fighting for an opportunity is not Ye Zhao's style.
Manager Han asked: "Boss Ye, did you buy Shenzhen Agricultural Cooperative for the purpose of competing for equity, or simply to make money?"
Ye Zhao smiled and said, "I have no interest in the management of Shenzhen Agricultural Cooperation. I am just buying and selling stocks and simply want to make money."
"Then I think you don't need to go see the city leaders. I can give you some advice."
"you say."
"Why don't you just split up a few groups and buy it? Register separately and don't let the municipal party committee leaders know."
Ye Zhao had thought of this just now. However, if several people come to buy separately, they are still considered as people acting in concert. If they report it to the city leaders, even if it is approved, it will be considered as deliberate concealment and fraud in the transaction. If there is a problem later, others may use this as an excuse to cause trouble.
She didn't want to do anything that would give someone a handle on her. Ye Zhao said, "I don't think it's appropriate to lie to the municipal party committee leaders. It's very risky."
Manager Han had no choice but to agree to help communicate, but after two days of communication, there was no success.
The New Year is approaching and the municipal party committee leaders are also busy.
That day, Ye Zhao was about to go to the company. She met Fang Daqiang in the yard. He had just returned from work and said that he had taken back the 100 stocks.
Ye Zhao was curious, so she asked Fang Daqiang if she could take a look. She had never known that stocks in this era were real green bills with the company name, face value, serial number, and total share capital written on them, but no registered shareholder information.
In other words, this green note can actually be circulated and bought and sold freely.
Ye Zhao called Manager Han as soon as he arrived at the company and asked him, "Can I buy stocks without registering?"
Manager Han was obviously stunned for a moment, then he said, "You can choose not to register, but they are all small change, no equity, and no way to give you a discount."
Ye Zhao said: "Then I will break the bills."
Manager Han: "Are you sure? Will you consider the idea I gave you last time?"
Ye Zhao's goal was very clear. She said, "I'm sure I want stocks that can pay dividends, not any management rights."
Manager Han hesitated for a moment before saying, "I don't have any here."
"What's the meaning?"
"I'm dealing with large clients here. You can only buy this kind of stock from a securities company."
Ye Zhao finally understood. No wonder Manager Han didn't remind her of this method before. It turned out that she could only buy it at a securities company, and that would not be counted as her performance.
Manager Han added, "If you want to be sure, I can take you to a securities company to buy it. I'm familiar with that place, but there's no discount if you buy it from a securities company, and there's also a 0.5% handling fee."
At this point, Ye Zhao no longer cared about the 0.5% handling fee. Even if it was 5%, she would pay it without hesitation.
Afterwards, Manager Han helped to make the connection and introduced Manager Zhang from the securities company. It was the first time that Manager Zhang received such a large order. It should be said that this was the largest order since their securities company opened.
With the joint efforts of Manager Han and Manager Zhang, the handling fee was reduced by 0.2%, and all communications and transactions were completed in half a day.
Ye Zhao bought 400,000 shares of Shenzhen Agricultural Cooperative through a securities company. After the deal was done, she gave Manager Han a big red envelope.
Ye Zhao drove back four large boxes of stocks, and Brother Xiang helped her move them home.
Fatty Ying saw it and asked curiously, "What are you moving? Food? Song Rongji ginger candy? Give us a few bags."
Zeng Xiang said: "Fireworks."
"Oh my, how many boxes of fireworks did we buy this year?! What a waste of money."
Four large boxes of stocks were piled in the corner of the room. Aunt Qiao was afraid that her house would be robbed, so she reinforced the house with anti-theft nets and doors inside and out.
In fact, there is no need to worry. No one will steal stocks these days.
Because in everyone's eyes, it is just like waste paper and there is no point in stealing it.
This year, the Chinese New Year was celebrated especially early. Zhaohua's work is different from other companies. We work all year round. Even during the Chinese New Year, everyone can only take turns to take leave, and the company gives everyone extra subsidies.
Everyone held a meeting to discuss the shift schedule. Gan Xiaofeng will not go home this year so she can stay at the base camp.
Ye Zhao was going to Hong Kong to celebrate the New Year. Gan Xiaofeng asked her if she would go to Song Rongji's annual meeting to speak. Everyone thought Ye Zhao would go, but she said, "I won't go."
Ye Zhao didn't want to steal the limelight from Zhong Liming, so her and Zeng Xiang's current strategy was to allow Zhong Liming to grow bigger and stronger in Song Rongji.
Today is the Little New Year. The weather is clear and the air is sunny. The Luo family is doing a thorough cleaning.
Old Mrs. Luo went to Guo Xuyan's house for lunch.
Guo's father and mother came from Beijing. They are both from Beijing and have a common language.
Before lunch, four people played mahjong in the small living room.
At the card table, Guo's mother laughed and said, "The day we came, it was almost 20 degrees. It was too hot to wear long sleeves. But in just two days, it suddenly dropped to only 7 or 8 degrees. The weather changes so quickly."
Old Lady Luo said, "When I was young, I just came to Hong Kong and I was not used to it. It was too humid. In March and April, when the south winds come back, everything is wet and sticky. The summer is hot and stuffy, not as refreshing as in the north. The only thing that is comfortable is the winter. It is warm here in winter."
Father Guo is quite thin. He said, "It's still quite cold here at 7 or 8 degrees."
"Cold and damp."
Guo's mother laughed and said, "I found that people in the south are not afraid of the cold. I have been wearing long johns and cotton shoes, but yesterday when I went to the street, I saw someone wearing slippers to buy groceries in this weather."
Old Mrs. Luo smiled and said, "Our old nanny used to wear clogs in winter. People here are really not afraid of the cold. Hey, is it Nanfeng? Let me touch you."
Mother Guo handed the word "Nan" to Old Lady Luo and asked softly, "Is Luo Shen not at home? I haven't seen him for many years."
Old Mrs. Luo said, "I'm in Shenzhen. I'll be back in two days. I finally agreed to spend the New Year at home this year."
Guo's mother: "Really? Then this year is considered lively."
Father Guo reached out to touch the cards and asked, "Isn't it time for Luo Shen to go to college?"
Mrs. Luo said, "I will go to college after the summer vacation."
Guo Xuyan, who was sitting opposite Mrs. Luo, was in good spirits today. She smiled and said, "Xinyi is going to study at Goshen University in the United States. Does Shen'er want to go with her? I have some connections here and can help him apply."
Old Mrs. Luo leaned slightly to the side, and Sister Hong quickly brought her some hot tea. She took a sip and then said, "Go ask him yourself. Every time I talk about this topic, he bullies me because I don't understand. He has arranged everything himself. It's useless for his father to talk to him."
Guo Xuyan had talked to Luo Shen before, "He still wants to study at HKU, then N 2, 2 years at HKU, 1 year abroad, right?"
Mrs. Luo: "That seems to be what he meant. Oh, I don't know if he wants to fall in love or for some other reason..."
Guo's mother was surprised: "Is Luo Shen dating someone?"
Old Mrs. Luo said, "One of the tenants in his mother's house likes him so much that he wants to go back to Shenzhen every time he has a holiday."
Guo's mother and father looked at each other. With the Luo family's background, how could Luo Shen find an ordinary tenant? But as for old lady Luo, she was always hard to figure out. She might not really express whether she liked him or not.
Neither of them dared to interrupt, and Guo's mother just smiled and said, "She's still young, so it's okay for her to talk about her friends."
Guo Xuyan hesitated for a moment, then pretended to be casual and said, "Didn't that girl say she wanted to come to Hong Kong to celebrate the New Year? Where is she staying?"
Old Mrs. Luo played a card and said, "Stay in a hotel. During the New Year, you can invite her to your place as a guest. You can all help me look after her."
Guo Xuyan had already refused once, so she couldn't refuse again this time. Before she could say anything, her mother smiled happily and said, "Of course, that's no problem. We'll help you entertain her first."
Father Guo was a little slow in this regard. He asked, "Is she here for tourism?"
Guo's mother laughed at him: "He must be here to spend the New Year with Luo Shen. What are you thinking about?"
Guo's father suddenly realized, "Why not invite her over to celebrate the New Year together on New Year's Eve? We can't let a girl stay in a hotel outside to celebrate the New Year. That's not good."
"Dad!" Guo Xuyan said, "New Year's Eve is a day for family reunion. Please invite her over. Luo Shen is at Luo's house, not here with us. She will feel uncomfortable being alone in our house."
"That's true."
Guo Xuyan had made some preparations before. She said, "I will accompany my godmother to burn incense on the first day of the new year, so let's schedule it for the second day. I will hold a family party. She knows Mrs. Song, so I will invite Mrs. Song and Song Xinyi as well. It will be more lively and less restrained with more people."
"You decide." Old Lady Luo looked at the cards, turned her head slightly and asked, "Did I draw a card by myself?"
Sister Hong, who was standing behind her, laughed and said, "They are all masturbating!"
"Oh my, sister, you have such bad luck. I dare not fight with you." Mother Guo smiled and took four chips and gave them to Mrs. Luo.
Old Mrs. Luo smiled and said, "We agreed to play until lunch. I'm going to win all the money from your poker table today."
After reshuffling the cards, Old Lady Luo asked, "Have you met the young lady from the Song family?"
Mother Guo said, "I saw her. She's a pretty good girl. But this old guy said he would rather recognize a grandson than a granddaughter. Fortunately, he didn't recognize her."
"Boys can jump, hop and fight, while girls are weak and fragile..." Father Guo couldn't help but shook his head. He was not biased towards boys, he simply didn't like Song Xinyi that much, so being weak and fragile was wrong, and so was being a girl.
On the second day of the Lunar New Year, when he saw Ye Zhao, his attitude changed 180 degrees.
