The interior decoration of Cen Qishan's mid-level villa in the United States is in the traditional Chinese style. Vessels, plants, ancient calligraphy and paintings, and old-fashioned furniture are displayed in accordance with the Feng Shui pattern, which is simple and elegant.
He was sitting in a silk shirt, making tea slowly, and occasionally, he raised his hand and handed a cup to the assistant beside him.
"The investment in Facebook this time is my personal property. Please ask the lawyer to add it to my will as soon as possible, and leave it to Xiyu."
Cen Qishan raised his eyes slightly while speaking, observed the assistant's reaction, and deliberately emphasized the word "personal assets".
The assistant in front of her, who was said to be an orphan, was the one she put beside her. In fact, Cen Qishan has always been very clear about this point, except that he didn't say it directly, he was almost open and honest.
Cen Qishan knew that the assistant would definitely report to "that person", and he was waiting to see her reaction.
Ever since meeting her daughter at the press conference last year, Cen Qishan has been doing things, but at the same time he is actually probing: it has been more than ten years, and from the perspective of a man, he is already dispensable to her. The last time we met In my impression, it should have been more than a year ago, and she didn't spend the night... But I don't know if her bottom line has receded, and her crazy possessiveness has changed slightly.
Cen Qishan really wanted to try to touch her bottom line, but he didn't dare to move too fast... because of the consequences, he couldn't afford it.
"Her"'s current wealth and energy, in fact, even Cen Qishan has no way to estimate at all.
But he is very clear that as early as more than ten years ago, "she" had enough energy to evaporate his wife and woman, which is why Cen Qishan finally gave in, abandoned his wife and daughter and left with her.
What Cen Qishan didn't understand the most at the beginning was why he was the one... Later, this point became clear even though things seemed so weird.
The assistant was not in the mood to taste the tea, so he drank it in a hurry, lowered his head and said, "Yes, I will do it tomorrow."
"Do it tomorrow?" Cen Qishan asked with a look of light in his eyes.
"Yes." The assistant kneeling by the side bowed and replied resolutely.
It's tacit, and some things don't need to be said clearly.
Cen Qishan closed his eyes, exhaled at a very slow speed, and then took a sip of tea. Just at this moment, he felt that the air became more free, as if there was no pressure.
These few simple conversations just now actually illustrate a very important thing.
Cen Qishan wanted to leave the investment project to Apple, and the assistant's answer was "do it tomorrow" - he was not qualified to answer this way, but he did.
This meant that he didn't need to report this matter, because "she" was so busy, if she needed to report, it was impossible to get an answer tomorrow, and the assistant couldn't be sure whether the matter could be done.
Then, the deeper meaning of this conversation is that "that person" has already given him an order, and this order at least includes giving the green light to Cen Qishan's concern about Apple. Under normal circumstances, he is allowed to do it. .
"Could it be more than that? Could it be that I can already..."
It was just a flash of thought, the idea of a family reunion had just appeared, Cen Qishan's heart tightened, and he stopped immediately, not daring to think about it anymore, he was afraid that once he thought about it, he would lose control of himself...and cause trouble.
The picture in my mind goes back more than ten years. That day, the wife took her daughter to the street to buy vegetables. A stranger passed by them. The blade slashed behind their necks. They did not hurt anyone and cut off a few strands of hair. No one noticed the whole process, including his wife and Xiao Xiyu. They are still smiling...
Different people, different scenes, similar situations repeated more than a dozen times, Cen Qishan sat in the car of "that person", looked through the binoculars, his hands and feet felt cold, and he was covered in cold sweat.
She said, "Why don't you go to the police?"
Cen Qishan didn't dare to try.
At that time, he was just an ordinary county schoolteacher, and what he saw from "her" was far beyond his own cognition and imagination.
Later...he became more and more unusual, but the distance was not shortened, because of her, he became more and more beyond imagination.
"Why me?" Cen Qishan asked back then.
"I like you for many years. I am finally able to make you mine. I am very happy." "She" said.
At that time, Cen Qishan was baffled and could not understand.
Later, when he saw something, he gradually understood...so he couldn't understand it even more.
…
No matter what, things are always developing on the bright side. Cen Qishan calmed down, and rarely had the mood to joke with his assistant, saying: "What do you think of my future son-in-law?"
The assistant thought for a while, "Very talented, but I can't read it."
Cen Qishan nodded, "At least he is a good person, Xiyu has a good eye."
"So..." the assistant said.
"A good person has to be from my Xiyu family, otherwise what's the use of being good?"
The assistant bowed his head and said yes.
"So, don't we need to give him a hint? I mean... our purpose." The assistant asked tentatively.
Cen Qishan smiled and said: "If he can't find out all this, he would be too useless. Besides, I don't need him to come to me, why should I remind him?! He has figured it out, so he will naturally go to my daughter."
"Yes," said the assistant, "but he doesn't seem to be moved at the moment. Could it be that the matter itself didn't hit him enough, then..."
Cen Qishan nodded.
"Adolescent success, it is always inevitable to be like this... Conceited, unwilling to give in, the more pressure you get, the more you resist... But, I will give him a wall."
…
Xu Tingsheng did not move at all.
The team brought by Hu Chenhe returned to China before the end of the vacation, and Xu Tingsheng stayed behind. Teacher Fang still needed a second repair operation, so Xu Tingsheng stayed to help Fu Cheng.
On May 10th, from Zhicheng's side, Ye Qing called and told Xu Tingsheng that Zhicheng's target land parcel in the West Lake City Land Auction was not won.
"The other party raised their cards very aggressively, far exceeding the highest price you set, and still didn't want to give up, so we had no choice but to give up." Ye Qing said.
"What about the alternative land?" Xu Tingsheng asked.
"Same", Ye Qing said, "The other party was just staring at us and raising cards... including false moves, they took them all."
The two plots of land that were determined to be won all missed, and were targeted
Xu Tingsheng was a little depressed... He stayed in West Lake City for a long time around 2011, and he knew the city's future development and potential core plots well. worry free.
As for the preliminary preparations, whether it is in terms of government relations, social relations, strategies, money, etc., the work done by Zhicheng is not insufficient... But unexpectedly, he was targeted by someone, and he was not an opponent at all.
"Could it be that we have offended someone? And they are very powerful... no matter what." Ye Qing asked.
Xu Tingsheng suddenly figured it out.
"Let's do a good job with the land in hand first. In terms of land acquisition, let's stop for a while."
After Xu Tingsheng finished speaking, he hung up the phone without explaining too much.
"Apple, your father is so lucky, he watched me play all the way... This way of playing, playing right and wrong, is going to make a fortune." Xu Tingsheng thought helplessly, and soon, a shock came to his mind, "No, there is also Hucheng, he It is impossible to leave Hucheng alone and not fight... he just doesn't fight for a while?"
The call came to Lu Zhixin's cell phone.
"How about the listing plan?" Xu Tingsheng asked straightforwardly.
"Preparation is underway. So far, it's going well." Lu Zhixin replied.
"pause."
"Why?"
"I can only tell you that once Zhicheng goes public, it will be attacked."
"ah?"
"I am sure."
"Okay, then I'll take it easy and make more preparations." Lu Zhixin hesitated, "I have something else I want to tell you."
"explain."
"Does Lao Jin still want Hucheng's shares?"
"... Who's going to sell it?"
"I."
"… Why?"
"My dad was duped, and he lost 500 million in the futures market in a few days, and it is still going on. 300 million of which is not clean. If I don't fill it in for him, he will die. Suicide, or homicide. "
The difference between the futures market and the stock market... No one will pick up the goods, and even if you are willing to cut the meat, you may not be able to get away.
"..." Xu Tingsheng didn't know how to respond. Apple's dad not only targeted him, but also completely kicked Lu Zhixin out.
"I'm sorry, he is my father after all, I can't help but watch him die." Lu Zhixin said.
"You can contact Lao Jin yourself." Xu Tingsheng hung up the phone.
Should I call Apple? What do you say? Said that your dad is trying to suppress me in order to vent your anger on you, or force me to be with you. I am not an opponent, and I can't do it... You go and beg your dad for me to stop
How do you say this? !
"Can you fight back? Your father hit me first, so I should still strike, right?" Xu Tingsheng finished his excuses, thought for a while, and realized: "It's hard."
According to Xu Tingsheng's speculation, first of all, Apple's father's network must be incomparable to him, and second, the amount of funds he can mobilize can probably reach 10 billion... US dollars, if he is determined enough.
On my own side, the total valuation of the three companies combined is less than 5 billion...RMB, and it's a valuation, and it's not something that Xu Tingsheng can mobilize all of them.
How to fight this? Coincidence? They are simply focused on using strength to break cleverness, who has bigger and harder fists, and they don't play with you at all... What a cleverness!
Temporarily withdrawing his thoughts, Xu Tingsheng returned to the ward with the idea that it would be a big deal to go home early for the elderly.
Unexpectedly, besides Fang Yunyao and Fu Cheng, there was another person in the ward. It's a Chinese woman, Xu Tingsheng didn't recognize her from the back... Perhaps it was because of a chance encounter in a foreign land, the two women were very enthusiastic and chatted very happily.
Xu Tingsheng and Fu Cheng stood by the side for a while, unable to speak, so they went outside the clinic together to find a place to smoke a cigarette.
"Who is it?" Xu Tingsheng asked.
"The music teacher in our school. Don't you remember?" Fu Cheng asked.
"I don't remember." Xu Tingsheng said.
"It seems that we left suddenly when we were admitted to university. You should have seen it... At that time, I heard that I didn't resign, so I left suddenly. I didn't expect to go abroad. It seems that I am doing well now..."
The two talked for a while, the woman appeared in the parking lot, and the bodyguard opened the door for her.
She stood outside the car door for a while, looked at Xu Tingsheng from afar, and smiled...
Xu Tingsheng suddenly felt a creepy feeling. Although he searched his memory, he clearly didn't remember seeing this person.
After the car drove away, Xu Tingsheng asked Fu Cheng, "Then is there any difference between her appearance now and what you remember?"
"No, and I'm not too familiar with her." Fu Cheng thought about it after answering, and said with some hesitation, "Maybe... it feels a little unnatural, and also, too young?... Oh, I'm rich, maybe She is well maintained, she has plastic surgery or something, and it’s normal to be younger.”
Xu Tingsheng was a little confused for a moment, and his heart was a little chilled: "If she is the person the fat nurse mentioned, the one who had a complete plastic surgery...then the situation is...killing people and replacing their identities? Why?"
The thought of investigating was forcibly suppressed in a flash.
"I should stay away from this person. It's nothing to do..."
