The person reporting the progress below was obviously stunned, with a stiff expression on his face. He could not continue speaking for a moment and could only look at Gu Yanshen, who was sitting in front of him with a calm expression.
Zijin subconsciously raised his head and looked at Gu Yanshen.
The man sitting directly above had no expression on his calm and reserved handsome face. The bright incandescent lamp above his head shone on his face, showing that his facial features were becoming more three-dimensional and profound. Gu Yanshen stretched out two fingers and gently
Pointing to the folder in front of him, "Well, tell me the reason why you don't agree."
Qiao Jinglian raised her eyebrows, and glanced at Zi Jin across from her with a vague gaze. Finally, she sneered and said simply: "The reason is very simple. This project was shelved by me before. It's not without reason. First of all, let's talk about it."
The profit is not very high. Secondly, this is the first time that Qiao's has taken on such a project, and the service object is also linked to the government. If we are not fully sure, something will definitely go wrong. Qiao's is not
There are no other projects that can be done, and I don't think it is necessary to take this risk. On the contrary, this fund can be used on a piece of land in the west of City C, and I have already made a plan."
Qiao Jinglian took out a red folder that was under the blue folder and threw it directly to the assistant beside her. She stretched out her fingers and said, "Explain my plan to you."
It's rare for a playboy like Qiao Jinglian to have a man as his assistant. Hearing this, the other party stood up quickly. He was probably familiar with the whole plan before and explained it effortlessly.
After the assistant finished explaining, Qiao Jinglian leaned leisurely on the executive chair, with her long legs crossed. She looked a bit like a playboy, and her tone was firm, "I think this plan is better than Mr. Gu's."
The project you just mentioned is much more reliable. What do you think?"
There was a sudden murmur below, with people in twos and threes whispering to each other.
After all, Qiao Jinglian is the son of the "original wife". He has been in the Qiao family for so many years, even if he has no merit, he is also the prince recognized by everyone.
And Gu Yanshen suddenly appeared. He had extraordinary abilities and acted like a king, but after all, he was the son of a "mistress" who was not recognized.
Therefore, among the senior management of the Qiao family here, there are some who support Gu Yanshen, and naturally there are also those who support Qiao Jinglian.
Gu Yanshen knew these support rates that did not need to be stated clearly, and Qiao Jinglian naturally knew them too.
He raised his neck, looked at the people in the two rows below, raised the corners of his lips, and suddenly pointed at a department manager on his side and asked: "Director Wang, please tell me your opinion."
The person who was named quickly stood up and said solemnly: "...I think Master Lian's plan is feasible. In business, it is better to do business than to do it. The economy has not been very prosperous in the past two years. I think we
If you want to make a cost investment, you also need to look at the right time. I support Master Lian’s plan."
Qiao Jinglian raised her eyebrows in a slightly triumphant manner, obviously expressing great satisfaction with Manager Wang's support.
However, there were soon voices of opposition below - those who opposed him naturally supported Gu Yanshen.
"But I think Mr. Gu's idea is also feasible. If this project is completed, it can be linked to the government. This is a good thing."
"What about failure?"
"How can we judge that it will definitely fail if we haven't even started yet? Any project has the possibility of success or failure. Although doing business is worse than doing it while doing it, you can't stop moving forward. If you have new directions, you still need to try."
"In the long run, General Manager Qiao's project profits will definitely be more objective."
"That will happen at least three years later. But although the profits from Mr. Gu's project are not much, if they accumulate, they will still earn a good reputation by then."
…………
The entire conference room suddenly fell into a heated discussion.
Zijin quietly raised her head and glanced at the man who was sitting above him, silent all the time. He held a cigarette between his fingers, frowning and smoking in a skillful and charming manner. She was absent-minded for a moment, but
He was awakened by another sharp gaze.
Turning around suddenly, Qiao Jinglian's dark eyes were filled with sarcasm and a bit of coldness.
Zijin frowned, obviously he didn't like Qiao Jinglian's look - like a husband staring at his cheating wife.
She just thought it was funny. Even if she really felt sorry for him, it was because he felt sorry for herself first.
What's more, does he regard himself as his wife? Why should he measure himself with such eyes?
Not wanting him to feel guilty, Zijin lowered her eyes as if nothing had happened. Just as she flicked through the information in front of her with her slender fingers, someone suddenly called her name——
"...Miss Shen, why don't you give me your opinion?"
…………
Zijin was stunned for a moment, and then she raised her head and saw a middle-aged man opposite her, looking at her with a smile, "Miss Shen is also a shareholder of Qiao's and has the right to speak. For these two projects, you
What do you think?"
I didn't expect that I would be called out.
Zijin's delicate brows frowned even more. In fact, although she had just entered Qiao's, she studied business administration in the UK. She naturally didn't want to talk about the plan. Gu Yanshen mentioned
She had taken the time to look at that project before, mainly because it was linked to the AA government, and it was later used for government offices. It is true that such a project cannot make much money, but if it is done
Well, of course, we can play a long game to catch big fish, but if something happens, it will definitely affect Qiao's reputation. As for the plan that Qiao Jinglian's assistant just explained, she just listened to the literal meaning.
After acquiring the land in the west of the city, a large amount of capital still needs to be invested, and the time to make profits will be at least three years later.
It seems that all have advantages and disadvantages, and it is hard to say which project is more conducive to Qiao's development.
From Zijin's point of view, it actually doesn't matter which project to choose, Qiao's is a large listed company, and there is no shortage of investment projects.
But Zijin also knew that this meeting had now become a battlefield between the two brothers.
And she, unfortunately - is she going to be treated as a sandwich cookie?
"...Actually, I just joined Qiao's, and I'm still in the exploratory stage of many things, so I can't give random opinions just because I hold Qiao's shares. I don't think it's fair to anyone."
This was the sentence that flashed through his mind, and Zijin blurted it out naturally, even with a somewhat calm smile on his face.
She never knew that it would be so easy to use high-sounding words to prevaricate people. Maybe after following Gu Yanshen for a while, some things gradually integrated into her thinking, even though she always felt that she
I resist accepting it, but I have become accustomed to it and it has become natural.
"No need to be so modest."
Qiao Jinglian rested her hands on the back of her head leisurely, smiled, and looked into Zijin's eyes with ill-intentioned provocation, "Wife, if you have any objections, just tell me, even though you have just entered Qiao's
, but the books you have read in the UK in the past five years should not be in vain, right? Even if you are not completely sure, occasionally talking about it on paper will give people inspiration."
The word "wife" really made Zijin feel very uncomfortable, but in front of so many people, she naturally couldn't have any negative emotions, so she could only deal with Qiao Jinglian in all possible ways.
"Now that General Manager Qiao has said it, my opinions are just words on paper. I think I won't say more. Besides, I really don't have any opinions to give."
"Really?" Qiao Jinglian shrugged, but refused to give in, "Chairman Qiao thinks so highly of you, don't be too secretive at this critical moment. Everyone is watching. Wife, stop being reserved. What's the matter?
, just say what you say, and besides, even if you really don’t say it well, Mr. Gu will definitely tolerate it, right, Mr. Gu."
Gu Yanshen always had a calm look, and there was no emotional ups and downs on his heroic face. It was as if at this moment, he was just the president of a group, but he was listening carefully to the opinions of his subordinates.
Qiao Jinglian's wanton provocation fell on deaf ears.
"If you have any comments or thoughts, you can tell me."
"Mr. Gu said so. Wife, you don't have to think too much. If you have anything, just say it."
Zijin really hates Qiao Jinglian's sinister tone and calling herself "wife", but what makes her even more anxious now is that Qiao Jinglian has to force herself to make a choice. She knows that no matter how good an excuse she makes, he will probably
He won't let himself escape unscathed.
In the eyes of everyone in the company, she was Qiao Jinglian's wife, and she seemed to be on his side both emotionally and rationally. Besides, he was so aggressive, wasn't he just using himself to mock Gu Yanshen? But in her heart
, just don't want Qiao Jinglian to be so proud, she doesn't want to admit defeat, she doesn't want to compromise -
"...Since Mr. Gu and Mr. Qiao have asked me to express my opinions, I will say so directly."
Putting aside the incident with Gu Yanshen, Zijin's head was not really rotten. Someone had to force her, so her head would naturally turn around quickly. She just thought about it very quickly and spoke very wisely.
: "Actually, there is no conflict between these two projects. Whether they are linked to the government or whether they are profitable after three years, our Qiao family is not short of funds and manpower. Since everyone has their own opinions, it is better to have two projects.
Wouldn’t it be better to follow up on every project?”
…………
Down below, someone immediately agreed.
"...Well, this does make sense."
"If the two projects are completed in one phase, there will indeed be no impact..."
Gu Yanshen's long and narrow eyes narrowed slightly, and his long, well-articulated fingers knocked on the table in front of him. He raised his eyes and glanced at Zijin seemingly casually, but there was a flash of light deep in his eyes.
Qiao Jinglian's face was not very good, but Zijin's words were also remarkable. There was an unknown anger swelling in his chest, but he could not find an outlet. The originally proud expressions on his face were all gloomy at this moment.
replaced.
Turning to look at Gu Yanshen, they happened to meet him again. He looked at Zijin's eyes. Qiao Jinglian subconsciously clenched her fists and raised the corners of her lips coldly, "Mr. Gu, what do you think of my wife's opinion?"
?”
He deliberately emphasized the words "my wife", and even he himself didn't know what kind of ghostly emotion was at work.
Gu Yanshen still had that unfathomable expression, his eyes swept over Zijin's side face, and under the light, his skin looked even more so. Bai Xi just lowered her eyes, looking somewhat unnatural.
He calmly withdrew his gaze, without even glancing at Qiao Jinglian, and casually said "Hmm" in his rich voice, "Since everyone thinks that the two projects can be carried out together, I don't have any objections." He stood up.
Come here, stretch out two fingers, press it on the folder, look at Zijin with steady eyes, "Just follow up on General Manager Qiao's project yourself. This one in my hand, Shen Zijin, you can do it
Do."
Zijin raised his head in shock, and before he could say anything, Gu Yanshen pushed the chair away and walked out of the conference room.
The biggest one was gone, and the group of people below naturally packed up their things and filed out.
Zijin bit her lip, frowned and looked at the folder in front of her, feeling a little uneasy - asking her to follow up on the project that Gu Yanshen wanted to do, she was actually more worried that she was too inexperienced and controlling.
not good.
Now the two projects are being followed up together, but in the current situation, isn't it clear that Gu Yanshen and Qiao Jinglian are fighting against each other? Gu Yanshen just left the project to him, so he is so confident in himself?
On the contrary, she had little confidence in herself. No matter how unruly Qiao Jinglian was, he would definitely be more knowledgeable than she was. How could she defeat him?
A pair of hands suddenly stretched out from behind and pressed directly on both sides of Zijin. She was suddenly pulled out of her thoughts. When she turned around, she found that Qiao Jinglian had been standing behind her at some point, and he covered her completely.
On the edge of the conference table.
Zi Jin frowned and instinctively leaned back, reaching out to block his chest, feeling a little annoyed, "Qiao Jinglian, what are you doing?"
"You are my wife, what do you want me to do?" He narrowed his dark eyes, the dangerous aura was getting closer and closer, and he said dirty words, "I want to do it now. You, don't you?
Should you open your legs and let me do it?"
Zijin's face turned pale suddenly. Such naked and humiliating words made her reflexively reach out and want to slap him in the face, but the man grabbed her wrist in mid-air.
Qiao Jinglian grabbed her wrist hard and pressed it hard on the table. Zijin felt a sting on the back of his hand, and his eyes couldn't help but turn red, but he sneered, "You want to hit me again? Shen Zijin
, I see you are really tired of living, you hit me once, you want to hit me a second time, right?"
"You are shameless!" She endured the severe pain in her wrist and retorted through gritted teeth, "Qiao Jinglian, it's you who are shameless. Let me go!"
"I'm shameless?" He smiled, but the corners of his eyes and brows were full of anger, "I'm still your husband, you, a despicable woman, are flirting with that man in front of so many senior executives in the company, you
Do you think I’m blind?”
"...You bastard, who are you flirting with? Qiao Jinglian, are you really that boring?"
"Boring?" Qiao Jinglian raised her eyes, her evil smile filled with coldness, "It's indeed a bit boring, so how about I do something less boring for you, Mrs. Qiao, who has let me do nothing for five years?
?”
"What do you want to do?" Zijin seemed to see the dancing flames in his eyes. She began to be afraid and instinctively stretched out her hands to push the man away.
Qiao Jinglian pressed her body harder and harder, and the soft body of a woman touched the hard chest of a man. No matter who the woman in front of her was, as long as she was beautiful and delicious, she could still easily arouse a man's desire. However, it was just simple.
Desire. He pressed his thin lips against the shell of her ear and breathed frivolously, "What to do? Of course, make love."
"……don't want!"
Zijin looked at his approaching lips and turned her face to the side. Qiao Jinglian's kiss landed on one side of her cheek. Before she could even swallow her breath, his chin was forcefully pressed by him.
Look, that cheek so close to her made her whole body tremble with fear.
"Run? Oh, Shen Zijin, let me tell you, you are my wife, Qiao Jinglian. I want you, but you still dare to run?"
Zijin's face turned pale with fright, and her heart was beating loudly, not with palpitations, but with panic. She never thought that she would do such a thing with Qiao Jinglian, but now, let alone saying that she didn't want to,
It was simply disgust, her body, and his touch.
"Qiao Jinglian, are you still a man? You clearly said before that you dare not touch me. Are you shooting yourself in the foot now?"
Use words from the past to pressure him?
Qiao Jinglian refused to do that. She rubbed her smooth chin slowly and heavily with her thumb, curled her lips and smiled, "Yes, I said it, but haven't you heard of it? Men's words,
They are all untrustworthy. I want to have sex. Do you think I still need to exercise restraint?"
"Don't touch me!"
Zijin was almost desperate, his voice was pretending to be calm, "Don't touch me. If you do this again, I will call someone. This is a company. Do you want everyone to know that you are
Rape me during marriage?"
"Scream, you don't mind people hearing your scream. Just scream!" Qiao Jinglian seemed to have made up her mind to eat her alive. Her eyes had changed color and her hands were already raised.
She picked up her coat and was about to put it in when the door to the conference room behind her was suddenly pushed open.
Both of them were stunned. Zijin was so frightened that she almost cried. No matter who came at this time, she felt that he was her savior. When Qiao Jinglian was distracted for a moment, she almost didn't think about it and kicked her.
She kicked him hard on the knee, stretched out her hand and pushed hard, pushing the man on top of her away.
Qiao Jinglian was unprepared and frowned in pain. When she turned around, she found that Zijin had escaped from her control.
His eyes were sinister, and he turned to see that it was Gu Yanshen's assistant standing at the door. He was even more furious, "Are you looking for death? Did I let you in? Do you understand the rules?!"
Ji Yang had a calm look on his face, which seemed to be that he had learned from Gu Yanshen. He also nodded slightly to Qiao Jinglian very respectfully, "Sorry to disturb General Manager Qiao, but Mr. Gu has something to do with Miss Shen." Then he looked.
Zhu Zijin said: "Ms. Shen, Mr. Gu is waiting for you in the office."
Now let alone Gu Yanshen looking for her, even if a passerby was looking for her, Zijin would leave without hesitation. She didn't say anything, pressed the collar on her chest, and left the conference room with a pale face.
Naturally, Ji Yang would not stay any longer. He nodded to Qiao Jinglian who looked angry again, and then exited the conference room, not forgetting to close the door for him.
…………
But as soon as the door closed, there was the sound of chairs colliding. Qiao Jinglian vented all her anger on the executive chair beside her. He put his hands on his hips and his whole body was gloomy. After a moment, he smiled coldly——
Shen Zijin, you run away. The more you try to run away, the more I will deal with you!
※※※※※
Zijin stood at the door of the president's office, stretched out his hand to straighten his clothes and sorted out his chaotic thoughts, then took a deep breath and pushed the door open.
Gu Yanshen stood at the floor-to-ceiling window, with a straight figure, one hand in the pocket of his trousers, and the other hand holding a half-burned cigarette hanging by his side.
Zijin closed the door and said, "Mr. Gu, are you looking for me?"
When Gu Yanshen turned around, he took another puff of cigarette, then strode to the executive desk, put out the cigarette directly in the ashtray, and while puffing out the smoke, he was already walking towards Zijin.
Maybe Qiao Jinglian had panicked her too much before, and she still had some lingering fears, so when Gu Yanshen came closer, her expression also changed. She took two steps back towards the door. He had already walked in front of her and stretched out his hand.
He gently pinched her wrist.
"...Don't, don't..." Zijin struggled hard and managed to stabilize his voice, which was trembling again, "...Mr. Gu, what's the matter with you?"
Gu Yan frowned deeply, not allowing her to escape, and directly pulled her wrist over, his deep voice seemed a bit tense, "Don't move, are you hurt?"
Zijin lowered his eyes and found that there were indeed several red marks on his wrist. They were probably accidentally bruised when he was struggling with Qiao Jinglian. The skin was broken and there were some bloodshot marks.
Gu Yanshen's slightly cold fingers touched him lightly, and Zijin gasped in pain. He immediately retracted his fingers and frowned a little tighter, "Does it hurt?"
Can it not hurt?
She didn't pay attention just now, but now that he said this, she really felt pain, but she still struggled to pull her hand back, "...I'm fine, it's just a minor injury. Mr. Gu, you, let go first
I."
Gu Yanshen turned a deaf ear and said solemnly: "There is nothing else to do in the afternoon. You can go to the hospital to treat the wound."
Zijin thought he was making a fuss, "I said it was okay, Mr. Gu..."
"It's just you and me here." Gu Yan's deep eyes looked straight into Zijin's gaze, and his voice was sexy, "You don't have to open or shut your mouth to call me Mr. Gu. I prefer you to call me Gu Yanshen."
