"Yu Nan, when will I go back to visit your father's grave?"
The other party seemed to be outside, and the quiet tone was accompanied by a sound like a cold wind, which seemed extraordinarily cold: "It will take a while."
"Then I'll go alone tomorrow." Jiang Shijun leaned on his head and talked with someone he knew very well, his posture naturally seemed comfortable, "When you are free, the flowers you sent last time will be rotten into flower mud."
The other party didn't say anything more, the other party hung up the phone, Jiang Shijun cut the call to the secretary, leisurely, while touching the cold pot of tea beside his hand, he told the secretary: "Make a pot of tea and come in. "
"OK."
Jiang Shijun never liked to wait for a long time, so he trained the secretary's ability to handle affairs very quickly. After a while, there was a knock on the door, and Jiang Shijun looked up: "Come in."
Hearing the sound, the one who opened the door was not the secretary, but...
Jiang Shijun was taken aback for a moment, squinting suspiciously, but soon smiled, "Why are you here?"
Holding the brewed tea, Xu Ziqing walked in with a smile: "What's the matter? You don't want to see me?"
Xu Ziqing had already walked to the desk. She used a set of ancient tea sets with ease, and quickly delivered the cups to Jiang Shijun.
Jiang Shijun took it, but didn't drink it. He just asked, "Didn't you say that the lawyer will come to your house today to announce the will?"
"I'll be here when it's over."
"What's the result?" He asked again, seeming more anxious than Xu Ziqing himself.
Xu Ziqing directly made a wry smile: "As expected, my father handed over the Xu family to my sister." He also poured a cup of tea for herself.
Such a calm look made Jiang Shijun squint his eyes and look at her again: "I thought you would be very dissatisfied with this result."
Unexpectedly, Xu Ziqing just shrugged his shoulders helplessly: "The Xu family is in such a state of turmoil now, what she took over is a mess, and even a capable person like Jiang Yunan is a bit helpless, I figured it out, Instead of rushing into the business world, it is better to be a woman behind a man."
While drinking tea, Xu Ziqing secretly observed the man's reaction to his opinion, but he just nodded lightly without any other emotion.
Xu Ziqing didn't know whether she should breathe a sigh of relief in the face of the other party's reaction...
Ignoring the turbulence in his heart, Xu Ziqing sat on the armrest of the chair, looked at the man's slightly white temples, and after some weighing, he lazily put his head on it: "What about you? Are you still waiting for me later?" Is there anything you need to do?"
"It's okay, I can leave soon. Let's go, just go to dinner together."
Jiang Shijun stood up after speaking, and the two walked towards the door one after the other. Jiang Shijun took off his coat from the stand and was wearing it. Xu Ziqing, who was standing a step behind him, put his hand into the bag I touched the phone——
Immediately after pressing a key, the phone rang.
Just as Jiang Shijun got dressed, he turned around when he heard the ringtone, and saw Xu Ziqing pick up the phone and said, "Mom?"
"..."
"I'm outside." Xu Ziqing looked up at Jiang Shijun, paused before continuing, "What's wrong?"
"..."
"Okay, I'll go right back."
After Xu Ziqing hung up the phone, he immediately looked at Jiang Shijun apologetically, "I can't have dinner with you..."
"Is there something for you at home?"
Xu Ziqing nodded.
"..."
"..."
"Well, another day."
Jiang Shijun readily agreed, and Xu Ziqing walked quickly to him with a smile, and kissed him on the cheek, "I'll invite you next time." After speaking, he trotted away, and soon disappeared behind the door.
Xu Ziqing ran like this all the way, his usual elegance was long gone, he almost fled into the elevator, went downstairs and left Libo, and finally got into a taxi. The driver drove away in the dust, and Xu Ziqing finally trembled uncontrollably.
She turned her head involuntarily, looked through the car window at the smaller and smaller Libo Building behind her, and always felt that a pair of eyes were staring at her fiercely behind a certain floor-to-ceiling window on the top floor.
Xu Ziqing was so surprised that she immediately retracted her gaze, and hesitantly took out her mobile phone. After dialing a series of familiar numbers, her heart calmed down a little. The other party connected quickly, and Xu Ziqing asked directly without waiting for him to speak: "Where are you Zhou Cheng?"
"..."
Before Zhou Cheng could answer, she added, "I'll see you right away!"
Yanliang lived in Xu's mansion for nearly three days before being taken away by Jiang Yunan half-forcibly.
The funeral will be held next Monday, and my mother is very busy, but Yanliang was taken away from the house by Jiang Yunan in this way, it is inevitable that there will be some complaints——
On the car leaving Xu's mansion with Jiang Yunan, she expressed her dissatisfaction with this man for the first time in a while: "You shouldn't have dragged me away and let my mother live alone in such an empty house, I'm a little worried."
"It was your mother who asked me to take you away."
Hearing Jiang Yunan's explanation, Yan Liang raised her eyebrows, she didn't say anything after all, she just turned her head to look out of the window in silence, but soon put a hand on her shoulder, there seemed to be some tension between her and Jiang Yunan. The unfamiliar distance was broken by him at this moment——
"You haven't closed your eyes for a few days? The dark circles under your eyes are scary."
Yanliang leaned over and leaned against his shoulder, speaking slowly and tiredly: "Just yesterday, some uncles and uncles came to visit us at home, including Liu Jun. I was wondering, Liu Jun has already sold the stock How could he still have the face to give it to someone else, did he think about our feelings when he said the word 'sorry'?"
"..."
"It's really... the world is so cold." Yan Liangzai carefully chewed the word with the same name as himself, as if he could taste a taste of fate.
Jiang Yunan just held his hand holding her tighter, "Don't think so much..."
"How can I not want to? My father is dead, if the hostile acquirer succeeds, my family's property will be destroyed in my hands, then..." Yan Liang couldn't continue, after thinking about it, she decided to say something else, "I was thinking, while repurchasing shares, should we formulate a new share plan and give the shareholders of my mother's trusted party a specific preferential dividend? If there is still no way to stop the hostile takeover, then simply kill the net and break the net. At the critical moment, you can choose to repay the undue debts in advance, which will cause a huge financial crisis for the acquirer after the acquisition is successful."
"..."
"..."
"By the way, there is another way... If we find out the boss behind the hostile acquirer, we can actually find a friendly supporter, as the acquirer, to compete with the hostile acquirer and deliberately raise the purchase price. We can even Through the lock position option, directly put... "
Jiang Yunan, who had been listening attentively before, interrupted her suddenly: "If you really do this, you might go bankrupt before you beat back the hostile acquirer."
Yan Liang was taken aback.
After being impulsive and thinking about it carefully, what he said is also correct... It is not a last resort, and there is no need to fight so desperately with the enemy behind the scenes.
"That… "
Yanliang's question that was about to blurt out was interrupted by the ringtone of the mobile phone. This new mobile phone number is known only to close relatives and subordinates, which shields the media and other boring people from nuisance. Every time the bell rings, it may mean another bad news. So she didn't delay for half a second, almost only rang the bell one and a half times, and she had already picked it up.
It's Zhou Cheng's call.
"week… "
Yanliang who only said one word was interrupted by Zhou Cheng: "Where are you? I have something to ask you."
Yan Liang was taken aback.
Zhou Cheng's tone made her sit up straight: "What's wrong?"
"I can't tell on the phone, anyway, I need you to come over now--the apartment where you used to live."
At the same time Jiang Yunan cast his gaze, Yan Liang heard Zhou Cheng ask, "Don't ask why, just come here now."
"..."
"..."
Yanliang was helpless: "Don't tell me it's because of Xu Ziqing again."
"..."
"..."
Zhou Cheng's silence was like tacit consent, Yanliang was helpless, but he could only say: "Okay."
Yanliang hung up the phone, really unable to answer Jiang Yunan's question: "What's going on?"
Apparently, Jiang Yunan also heard some of Zhou Cheng's eager voice on the other end of the phone, and naturally he didn't miss Yan Liang's already cliched sentence: Don't tell me it's because of Xu Ziqing again...
So without waiting for Yanliang to make up some excuses, Jiang Yunan said directly: "I'll take you there."
"No, I'll take a taxi directly. You go home first."
Jiang Yunan didn't force her anymore, she asked the driver to stop the car, watched her get a taxi, and then told the driver to drive.
Jiang Yunan's car and the taxi diverged quickly, and eventually they did not look at each other.
After more than ten minutes, the taxi stopped at the downstairs of the apartment where Yan Liang once lived.
Yanliang saw Zhou Cheng standing leaning against the car in the parking space not far away, and looked around, but found no figure of Xu Ziqing.
Yanliang took the bag and got out of the rental, and Zhou Cheng quickly saw her.
When Yanliang walked to the side of the car, Zhou Cheng only said one sentence: "Let's go."
"where to?"
The appearance of Zhou Cheng resolutely sitting in the driver's seat seemed to be telling Yanliang that he was determined not to answer her questions this time.
"You were picked up from the mansion by Jiang Yunan just now?"
"Yes what's the matter?"
"nothing… "
His tone was a bit weird, but Yanliang thought his question was an irrelevant greeting, so she didn't ask any more.
Until the car drove farther and farther in the direction of the suburbs, until the car drove into a cemetery——
Yan Liang no longer knew how to ask about this extremely weird itinerary.
Zhou Cheng got out of the car and led Yan Liang up the mountain along the stone steps, Yan Liang had to stop at the bottom of the stone steps and reminded Zhou Cheng: "You came to the wrong place, my dad's cemetery is in another cemetery."
If she didn't leave, Zhou Cheng simply reached out to pull her.
Yan Liang could only reluctantly follow up again.
Zhou Cheng finally stopped in front of a stranger's tombstone.
Yanliang then also stopped. Looking at the photo on the tombstone that seemed to have been dusty for a long time, and the two fresh bouquets next to it, she couldn't help but break the silence at this moment: "Is he...?"—
