Huo Jinxi had just finished a lengthy video conference. When he heard the news, he just sat back in his chair and gently pressed his eyebrows.
Seeing his reaction, Qi Yuan was not sure what he meant. He could only say: "I have found several other companies similar in size to OA. If we can successfully acquire one of them, we will definitely be able to compete with Ye Jinfan -
—”
"No need." Huo Jinxi said, "Get ready to return to China."
Qi Yuan was suddenly startled.
Returning to China at this time, wouldn’t it mean giving up to Ye Jinfan?
Or, if Huo Jinxi returns to China first, will Germany have other arrangements?
However, what Qi Yuan did not expect was that not only Huo Jinxi and Mu Qian would return home this time, but also Huo Jinnan and Song Siyao.
And judging from Huo Jinnan's tone, he probably won't come back to Germany for a long time.
In other words, there is no one in Europe who can take charge. Wouldn't this mean that the European market is being handed over?
Qi Yuan couldn't figure it out, and Sun Bin couldn't figure it out either.
"Mr. Lu, Huo Jinxi and his party have all left Germany this morning." Sun Bin felt inexplicably anxious about this, "But I vaguely feel that they may have a back-up plan... Could it be that they are pretending to give up first?
Are you secretly accumulating energy somewhere else?"
At that time, Ye Jinfan was sitting on the sofa, looking at Ye Xi who was flipping through a magazine next to him, and occasionally would use his hands to help her turn a page or two.
Hearing Sun Bin's words, Ye Xi didn't react at all. Ye Jinfan just smiled lightly and said: "It doesn't matter what he does first or second, what am I afraid of him? Whatever he wants to do, I will accompany him to the end - it depends on whether he can accompany him or not."
I can afford to accompany you."
After saying that, Ye Jinfan stretched out his hand, raised Ye Xi's chin and looked at himself, "Do you think so?"
Ye Xi's eyes were as calm as water. After listening to his words, it seemed as if it had nothing to do with him. He just smiled lightly and did not answer anything.
When Ye Jinfan saw her, his eyes suddenly brightened a little, and he stretched out his hand to take her into his arms, "You are smiling now. You have to smile more in the future, you know?"
Ye Xi was quiet for a moment before finally speaking: "Then when will we go back?"
"It will take some time." Ye Jinfan said, "It's rare that it's quiet here, and you like it, so let's stay a little longer, okay?"
"It's up to you." After Ye Xi answered, she lowered her head again and looked at the magazine in her hand.
Ye Jinfan tilted his head and kissed her, then leaned against her again and watched with her.
When Sun Bin saw this, he quickly bowed his head and retreated.
…
The day Huo Jinxi and Mu Qian returned to Tongcheng, Huo Jinxi went directly to the airport to rush back to the Huo family.
Mu Qian led Huo Qiran back to the Huo family's old house. After having a meal with Mr. Huo, they went upstairs to rest.
When she woke up, it was already past ten o'clock in the evening, and there was no sign of Huo Jinxi in the room.
It looked like he hadn't come back yet. Mu Qian was about to pick up her cell phone to call him when she suddenly heard movement outside. She ran to the window and took a look, and sure enough she saw Huo Jinxi's car.
Mu Qian returned to bed and waited for him to go upstairs with peace of mind. Unexpectedly, after waiting for almost twenty minutes, Huo Jinxi was still nowhere to be seen.
Mu Qian couldn't hold it any longer, stood up, opened the door and walked out, and soon saw the light coming from Mr. Huo's room.
Mu Qian walked to the door, pricked up her ears, and heard the voices of Huo Jinxi and Mr. Huo talking.
The voices of the two people talking were not loud to begin with, and because they were separated by a door, Mu Qian couldn't really hear anything. Just when she was about to knock on the door, the conversation over there ended, and Huo Jinxi opened the door and appeared in front of her.
In front of you.
The two of them looked at each other inside and outside the door. Huo Jinxi quickly walked out and pulled her back to his bedroom.
"It's so late, what are you talking about with grandpa?" Mu Qian asked curiously while untying his tie and shirt.
"Shareholders had doubts about the investment layout in Europe and went to Grandpa." Huo Jinxi said lightly, "Of course I have to explain it to Grandpa."
When Mu Qian heard this, he immediately realized that the matter was related to Ye Jinfan's acquisition war.
"Are the shareholders in trouble?" Mu Qian couldn't help but ask, "What's their attitude?"
"What other attitude can you have?" Huo Jinxi took off his watch and said calmly, "It's always been like this, isn't it?"
Mu Qian was not surprised after hearing this.
Apart from him, she had met Huo's shareholders several times, large and small, and already had an understanding of their behavior.
"In their eyes, you went back to save the Huo family. This is the first project you have personally taken charge of after returning. Of course they don't want to see you fail." Mu Qian said, "After all, you are taking money from their pockets.
If this continues, they will have to act like monsters, otherwise... let's leave this mess to them and let them deal with it on their own."
After hearing this, Huo Jinxi curled his lips slightly and said, "Do you think... I'm afraid of being a monster?"
Mu Qian narrowed her eyes, "What do you mean?"
"It's nothing." Huo Jinxi rarely avoided the question, "I'm going to take a shower."
Mu Qian glared at him hatefully, "I originally thought you must be in a bad mood today, and I wanted to comfort you, but you actually secretly teased me, so don't even think about it!"
After saying that, she was about to go to the bed, but Huo Jinxi grabbed her and pulled her into his arms from behind.
"Then can I ask, what is the content of the condolence?" Huo Jinxi asked in a low voice in her ear.
"I didn't finish the whole set last time." Mu Qian turned to look at him and traced her fingers down his chest, "But it seems that Mr. Huo is not very rare, so even if-"
Before the last word "already" was uttered, Huo Jinxi had already stretched out his hand, pulled her into the bathroom without any explanation, and slammed the door.
…
About a week later, Ye Jinfan and Ye Xi returned to Tongcheng.
The next day, Lu's held a press conference and officially announced that Lu's will fully enter the European market and will make big moves in new energy, finance, telecommunications and other industries in the future. Moreover, Lu's has signed a cooperation agreement with the local government.
This business will be carried out actively and orderly with official support.
As soon as the news came out, it immediately caused quite a shock in Tongcheng.
"The Lu family has even signed the government agreement, which shows that they have done a lot of things secretly, and Jin Xi, you didn't notice anything! It was a mistake to lose to him in the takeover battle, and now you still let them
Winning market dominance is the worst mistake among mistakes! We have invested so much money in the European market, and now it is all in vain!" Kuang Wenhai, as a shareholder representative, reacted fiercely to this, "Are you too idle at home?
For so long, have you lost even the most basic sense of crisis?”
