Xixi was taken back and life returned to the way it was before.
When Lu Xiaowen heard that Xixi had gone back, she was secretly happy. She thought that if Xixi was not at Yin's house, Lin Anxin would not come back, so she found an excuse to move back. She and Yin Haoze's separation was better than their wedding. They were inseparable when they saw each other again, so there is no need to elaborate.
.
Besides, Xu Ou also heard some things from TV and knew that Yin Haoze and Kang Jieming were getting into trouble. Fortunately, Kang Jieming didn't take any action for the time being, and Lin Ping's case was not reported. As for Shao Tianze, there was even less news about him.
Although Xu Ou is a little regretful, he is also happy. There is no bad news without news.
That day, as soon as Xu Ou arrived home, he saw a strange man standing at the door of his house, holding a bouquet of flowers in his hand.
She walked forward doubtfully and was about to ask "Who are you" when the man suddenly turned around, smiled at her, stretched out his hand and handed the flower over: "You're back?"
His words were natural and kind, like a wife waiting to return home.
Out of politeness, Xu Ou said, "Mr. Zhuang, why are you here?"
"I've been looking for you for a long time. I accidentally lost the phone number you left for me last time. I'm really sorry. You haven't called me either, but luckily, I finally found you." Zhuang Yuan smiled.
He said.
Xu Ou smiled a little awkwardly. She was not used to calling a stranger suddenly. In her opinion, leaving each other's phone numbers was just a polite behavior because the conversation was more interesting at the time.
So, she also lied: "Sorry, I accidentally lost my business card..."
Zhuang Yuan didn't care anymore. It seemed that he hoped to sit at Xu Ou's house.
Xu Ou didn't like strangers coming to his home. Seeing that he had no intention of leaving, he had to say: "Shall we go to a nearby coffee shop to chat?"
Zhuang Yuan looked at Xu Ou's home and knew that Xu Ou did not welcome him into the house. No wonder, a reserved girl would not let a man she was not familiar with come to her home for the first time. So he readily agreed.
Xu Ou took the flowers home, and it was a bit strange to carry them to the coffee shop. Zhuang Yuan fully expected that she would dress up carefully before coming out, but he didn't want Xu Ou to still wear the same clothes after coming out, so he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed, which at least meant that Xu Ou
Ou had no intention of pretending to be in front of him.
Zhuang Yuan said tactfully: "Your hair is a bit messy." He said, reaching out to help Xu Ou stroke it.
Xu Ou subconsciously took a step back and flipped up his short hair: "Thank you."
Zhuang Yuan was embarrassed by Xu Ou's alienation, but he was a mature man after all and quickly changed the subject.
The two went to the coffee shop and each ordered a cup of coffee.
Zhuang Yuan said: "After the last meeting, I felt that we could get along quite well. I have always wanted to chat with you again, but I didn't get the chance until today."
Xu Ou smiled: "Really..."
"What's your impression of me?"
Xu Ou didn't expect that he would ask such a direct question. To be fair, Zhuang Yuan looked a bit elegant on the surface and had a well-maintained figure. He was considered a handsome man. But Xu Ou now has an instinct for men.
The feeling of rejection, coupled with how rude he was on the plane last time, made Xu Ou feel unspeakably uncomfortable.
After thinking for a while, she said one word: "I think... you are more sincere."
You didn't even know the other person's name when you first met, so you confided your privacy to the other person without any reservation. It was indeed "sincere".
Zhuang Yuan looked very happy and said: "Thank you for giving me such a high evaluation. I will adopt a certain attitude towards any kind of people. As soon as I saw you that day, I felt that the hesitation on your face could not be wiped off.
It’s so awesome that I couldn’t help but say a little more, maybe you will think I’m a little abrupt.”
When he said this, Xu Ou was embarrassed to say anything: "Oh no, how could it be?"
The two talked some more, and both parties left their phone numbers again. This time they entered the phone number directly. In theory, it should be "impossible to lose" unless the phone was lost.
"It's nice to chat with you. I don't know when you will be free. I would like to formally treat you to a meal." Zhuang Yuan said when leaving.
Xu Ou's impression of him this time was already better than the last time. This time Zhuang Yuan was very measured and neither talked about his previous girlfriends nor tried to dig into Xu Ou's privacy.
"It depends on the situation. I can't say for sure right now. I don't have anything specific to do recently. I'm just still investigating some projects, mainly to relax."
Zhuang Yuan heard this and said hurriedly: "I know there is a place here with particularly beautiful scenery. If you like it, I can take you there to relax."
"OK."
"Then it's settled, let's do it this weekend." Zhuang Yuan said.
The two agreed on a time to meet next time and said goodbye in a hurry.
Shao Tianze was very depressed. His clues to find Xu Ou were once again broken. In the vast sea of people, where did Xu Ou go? If she was not under house arrest by Kang Jieming, then where was she? Why did she suddenly leave without saying goodbye? She couldn't even get through on the phone.
Already?
Yin Haoze knew the pain in his heart, and while comforting him, he encouraged him to search again. Posting missing person notices on TV and the Internet not only showed his determination to find Xu Ou, but also showed that he wanted to be with Xu Ou.
Determination to stay together.
Shao Tianze thought it made sense. Although he was still skeptical, he still gave it a try.
The missing person notice quickly appeared in the media headlines. When people heard that the third son of the Shaw Group was openly looking for a girl, they started advertising him more and more.
But there is still no news about Xu Ou.
Shao Tianze said dejectedly: "I knew I couldn't find her. She insisted on leaving on her own. If she wanted to leave me, how could she come back to me?"
Yin Haoze had no choice but to drink with him silently.
Just when Shao Tianze was having a headache about Xu Ou's matter, a bigger thing happened suddenly.
Shaw Group is on the verge of bankruptcy!
The call was from Shao Tianqi. On the phone, he cried very sadly: "Tianze, we are finished...Dad's life's hard work has been lost in my hands..."
Before Shao Tianze could figure out what was going on, he hurriedly drove home. Before he got home, he heard that Mr. Shao had suddenly suffered a high blood pressure attack and had a cerebral hemorrhage and was rushed to the hospital. Shao Tianqi was standing on the roof of a fifty-story building.
Prepare to jump off the building.
Shao Tianze's second brother Shao Tianxun explained what happened.
It turned out that Shao Tianqi reached a cooperation agreement with Kang Jieming in order to revitalize the family business and lacked liquidity. Unexpectedly, the funds promised by Kang Jieming were delayed in coming. He always used various excuses to shirk it. One moment he said that the financial department was undergoing transfer procedures.
At one point it was said that the board of directors was studying it. A few days later it was said that people from the Securities Regulatory Bureau were investigating the Kangjie Group and that it would be transferred after confirming that nothing happened.
Shao Tianqi took a lot of orders and took credit everywhere, just waiting for Kang Jieming to get the money before he could go on sale.
Unexpectedly, Kang Jieming suddenly withdrew the funds, using the excuse that Shaw Group had deceived its partners.
Shao Tianqi was furious and was about to sue him. At this time, Kang Jieming took out the contract. It turned out that the contract was spread out over ten pages, and the other contents remained unchanged. However, Kang Jieming added an extra line to the original contract: "If Party A does not
If Party B's interests are harmed by complying with the contract, Party B has the right to withdraw the funds at any time, and Party A must pay the other party interest and losses according to the bank's benchmark interest rate."
Shao Tianqi was careless about this item at first and did not read the ten pages of the contract carefully. He thought that Kangjie Group was a well-known large enterprise in the industry and must have a good reputation, not to mention that the contract was typed out from his own computer.
.
Little did he know that Kang Jieming bribed his secretary and secretly modified the contract.
Kang Jieming's sudden withdrawal of capital gave Shaw a big blow, but as long as it had the goods on hand, it could at least save capital by delaying for a while and selling the goods. Then a bigger blow came, and the latest batch of Shaw's production
Electrical appliances are all substandard products.
Shaw Brothers was over, and the company, which was already in jeopardy, was finally completely defeated by Kang Jieming's loopholes in the management chaos.
At that time, several electrical appliance brands developed by Shaw once occupied nearly half of the market. Under the management of Mr. Shaw, they swept across thousands of companies and became well-known brands trusted by everyone.
It is not easy to run a brand, and it only takes one day to destroy a brand.
When Shao Tianze heard this, he immediately understood that this was Kang Jieming's usual trick. To win people's hearts, attack from within, and use unfair competition methods, the cost was lower than fair competition and the results were faster. At the beginning, even employees of companies like Yin's
He has a way to handle it, let alone a place like Shaw Brothers where people's hearts are always in flux.
When Shao Tianze rushed to the rooftop, Shao Tianqi was pouring wine from bottle to bottle. When he saw Shao Tianze and the negotiators beside him, he said: "Don't come over! I don't have the face to see my father... Just let me die, anyway, Shaw Brothers
Even if he dies, I won’t be able to survive.”
"Come here! Dad is in the hospital now and his life or death is uncertain. If you want to still be his son, go to the hospital and see him!"
Shao Tianqi cried even harder: "I don't have the face to see him. Tell your father, just pretend that he never gave birth to a son like me..."
"Okay, you can ignore dad, but what about your son? Where is your wife? Do you want your son to have no father at such a young age? It was you who brought Shaw to this situation. If you were a man, you would have left Shaw
Get back on your feet!”
"I want to too...but I can't do it. I used to deliberately exclude you. Now I'll apologize to you as a brother. From now on, dad and Shaw will be left to you. If you are kind, help me take care of me.
Son, if...I can’t blame you!"
"Fart! I can take care of my son by myself, I don't have that free time!" Shao Tianze said.
"Dad...Dad..." Shao Tianqi's wife was standing not far away with her children crying. When he saw his wife and children, Shao Tianqi's eyes softened for a moment.
"You see, your son is standing in front of you now. If you dare to jump, I guarantee that he will have psychological shadow for the rest of his life!"
Shao Tianqi almost collapsed: "Please, take him away..."
"I promise you that if I work hard with you and my second brother, even if we can't take back Shaw Brothers, we will definitely revitalize the family business. Although I don't have much ability, as long as the three of us work together, there is nothing we can't defeat.
!" Shao Tianze said.
This was the first time he called Shao Tianqi and Shao Tianxun brother.
