It seemed like a long time had passed, yet it also seemed like just the blink of an eye.
They can clearly hear each other's breath!
The stunning blush on the cold face could almost melt thousands of years of ice and snow. Any man who witnessed the beauty at this moment would find it difficult to control the impulse from the bottom of his heart, but Uncle Wenliang was the only exception.
He has the body of a young man, but also the wisdom and self-control of an adult. After a series of events since his rebirth, this combination of contradictions and conflicts has been integrated to perfection. This also makes Wen Liang understand that many past events that he never cherished are actually extremely important, and many temptations that bewitch people are actually insignificant.
She whispered, "I'm sorry..."
Wen Liang scratched the tip of her nose and said softly, "Little fool, I should be the one apologizing!"
Zuo Yuxi hugged Wen Liang's waist, buried her head in his arms, rubbed it gently, and said: "I don't know why it is like this, always... always..."
Wen Liang stroked her hair, his eyes staring out the window, and suddenly a sharp light flashed across his face, but his tone became even gentler, and he said, "I understand, don't think too much, everything will be fine!"
Yes, everything has an end. Everything will be fine. That day is just around the corner!
After returning home, I called Ning Xiaoning and confirmed the time and place to meet Ning Xi tomorrow. Last time, I was so focused on fooling her that I forgot to ask for Ning Xi's contact information, so I had to go through Ning Xiaoning. This way, there are both advantages and disadvantages. The disadvantage is that tomorrow's meeting will have an extra tail, and many in-depth business topics cannot be discussed. After all, for Ning Xiaoning's sake, I can't be too entangled in the issue of interests; the advantage is that with Ning Xiaoning, a little spy who is good at turning her elbow outward, the possibility of Ning Xi refusing should be small.
When she hung up the phone, Ning Xiaoning suddenly asked, "I heard that you were very popular in No. 19 Middle School these past two days?"
Although Xu Yao and Ning Xiaoning were both taking the exam at No. 1 Middle School, Wen Liang knew that they would never be able to hide what happened at No. 19 Middle School. He said, "The coolest scene in my life was that day when I stood alone on the basketball court and watched two extremely beautiful girls walk through the crowded crowd, walk to my side as if no one was around, and then fight side by side to win the most unforgivable victory in my life..."
There was silence on the other end of the phone for a long time. I seemed to hear slight panting and rapid heartbeats, and then the phone was hung up with a bang.
Wen Liang put down the phone with a faint smile on his face. He sank into the sofa, but his mind flew out of the window and slowly dissipated among the stars in the sky.
The next morning, Wen Liang arrived at Yinlou Street on time. The eye-catching Porsche was parked in a conspicuous place on the street, but the difference from the last time was that the license plate had been changed. Ning Xi stood under the tung tree by the road, wearing the most popular black Valentino dress this winter, which showed elegance and melancholy almost perfectly. She had a high bun, delicate earrings, and a water lotus sapphire necklace made by Cartier that could set off her snow-white skin. It meant "the color of the sunset lotus", symbolizing the purity of being untainted by the mud. The winter sun shone through the branches, casting a little bit of mottled light and shadow in front of her and under her feet. I still remember the girl who drove the Porsche when we first met, but it seemed that she had changed under the magic of time. She exuded an extremely charming and mature aura, which completely subverted Wen Liang's previous perception of her.
The sixteen-year-old boy smiled. It was because of these ever-changing women that this world became less depressing and desperate!
"Oh, you changed the license plate again? Let me see, it's Jiang C8888, not bad, you've made progress, and you're finally not using a military license plate anymore. Miss Ning Xi, regardless of whether you gain anything else from your trip to Qingzhou, at least you've gained some legal knowledge, so I think it's worth it!"
Ning Xi dressed herself up this morning. Although part of the reason was because girls love beauty, a small part of the reason was to play a prank on Wen Liang. She wanted to see this sometimes mature and sometimes hateful guy show a surprised expression. That scene would definitely be very interesting.
Of course, the main reason is for today's negotiations!
The so-called business negotiation is that both parties, under the premise of having common interests, will do everything they can to maximize their own interests. The confrontation on the negotiation table is not only a war without smoke, but also a lecture on psychology, sociology, logic and political science. What Ning Xi needs to do is to win the initiative at the beginning with a beautiful gesture, and then press forward step by step in momentum until the opponent is at a loss and defeated.
But what she didn't expect was that the first thing Wen Liang saw was not her fashionable outfit, but the license plate of the Porsche. Ning Xi was so angry that her teeth were itching, but she still kept a smile on her face and said, "According to Mr. Wen, the so-called other gains are actually not important, or in other words, they are not that important to you, right?"
Wen Liang put his hands on the hood of the car, leaned his butt against the front of the car, and smiled: "Qinghe is very important to me, but it is not as... how should I put it, so indispensable as Miss Ning thinks... Oh, this idiom may be a bit complicated, Miss Ning, do you understand what I mean?"
Ning Xi finally managed to control the urge to kick him and said, "Thank you for your thoughtfulness. I spent my childhood and youth in China. I have read all the Four Books and Five Classics and various schools of thought. My Chinese grades are pretty good!"
"I'm sorry, I didn't expect that you are not only a sea turtle, but also a great scholar who is well-versed in both Chinese and Western learning. I saw a short piece a few days ago, but I can't find the source. I wonder..."
"Tell me about it. I think I can give you a satisfactory answer!"
Ning Xi graduated from Wharton Business School and has studied and participated in many business negotiation cases, including some classic battles of some large international groups. Of course, she only appeared in these occasions as an assistant to her mentor, but it did not affect her learning a lot of effective and highly operational experience. So after the initial panic, she had already figured out the routine of the Qingzhou boy opposite her, and also found a way to deal with him, which was to calm herself down and then calmly solve all problems.
The essence of a successful negotiation is win-win, but the core is who wins more!
She was confident that she would gain enough benefits in the negotiations regarding the future distribution of interests in Qinghe!
Just more, no less!
And the confrontation had already begun the moment Wen Liang appeared!
Wen Liang obviously noticed the change in Ning Xi's mood. He didn't want to confront her right away. After all, for him, Ning Xi's investment would certainly help Qinghe's development, but it was not the only way for Qinghe to achieve development. Moreover, Ning Xi's relationship with Ning Xiaoning also made him relax his vigilance.
But as soon as they met, Wen Liang clearly felt the message conveyed by the other party, which was a kind of confidence in winning and overwhelming momentum.
Wen Liang is no stranger to such messages!
After graduating from university in their previous life, Wen Liang and Tan Yu started working hard in Beijing and soon became well-known veterans in Beijing's business circle. They were good at making friends and eloquent, and were first-class powerful figures. A partner once joked that Wen Liang was so popular that he was always popular in Beijing. He was the royal general that the boss of the company always brought with him when he talked about business.
After crossing two time and space, Wen Liang once again came to this seemingly familiar scene. He was very excited, so he began to fight back with ease!
First, he ignored Ning Xi's eye-catching clothes and used the license plate as a routine teasing, meaning that no matter how many times she changed her skin, in my eyes, she was still you! Then he explained his needs to lower the other party's expectations, which was to tell her clearly that he was not in a hurry to get her investment, so she must not ask for too much; then he attacked her background of studying abroad with ill intentions, implying that she had no foundation in Qingzhou, and that money and connections were indispensable for doing business, and that everyone's capital was not much different. Finally, he made a condition by asking a question and waited for her to respond.
The two people who seemed to be chatting casually were actually engaged in a fierce confrontation between words. Wen Liang's attack was rapid and fierce, unscrupulous and merciless. He smiled and said, "The eyes and eyebrows said: I have many uses, you can do nothing, but sit on my position. The eyebrows said: I am useless, but without me, you still look like a human being! Miss Ning, what book or classic did this skit come from?"
Ning Xi knew exactly what was hidden in the story. She felt a little angry again after just calming down. She said, "It just so happens that I just read it. It's from Xiaolin Guangji, right?"
Wen Liang clapped his hands and laughed, saying, "Yes, it is the story "Fighting for a Seat" from "Xiao Lin Guang Ji", but it is just a joke after all. Sister Ning Xi, what do you think?"
The address changed from Miss Ning to Sister Ning Xi, and Wen Liang's face was full of sincere smiles. Ning Xi was stunned, and suddenly found that the negotiation skills she learned in the academy were useless when facing this boy. Not only the rhythm of the conversation, but even her emotions were completely controlled and guided by him. Until this moment, she almost melted under his call of Sister Ning Xi. Awesome, really awesome!
The door of the shop next door opened, and Ning Xiaoning walked out holding a cup of pearl milk tea. When she saw Wen Liang, her expression was as cold as ever, but her steps became lighter.
(Rabindranath Tagore - When you commanded me to sing, my heart seemed to burst with pride, I looked up at your face, tears welled up in my eyes.
In my socket.
All the bitterness and contradictions in my life melted into a sweet harmony—
My praise is like a joyful bird, fluttering its wings across the ocean.
I know you enjoy my singing. I know it is only because I am a singer that I can come before you.
With the outstretched wings of my song I have touched your feet, which I never dared to hope to touch.
Intoxicated by the song, I forgot myself. You were my master, but I called you my friend.
I know not how thou singest, my lord! I always listen in wonder.
The radiance of your music illuminates the world. The breath of your music permeates the heavens.
The holy spring of your music rushes forward, breaking through all the rocks that block it. (To be continued)
