Lin Yue took off the sunglasses on the bridge of his nose, held the handle of the new Lexus LS and pulled it. The door opened silently, revealing the milky white seats in the back row.
He didn't say anything, just looked at KITTY quietly.
"Where are you going?" She glanced at the floor she was on, and her gaze seemed to penetrate the glass window and land on Gong Ming's expressionless face.
Watching her get into the car, Lin Yue closed the door, got into the cab, started the car and left.
"There is a new Japanese restaurant on Donghu Road that is good."
"Is it Chiyoho Kaiseki?"
"You are quite well informed."
"""has a column introducing mid-to-high-end restaurants."
Lin Yue said: "Yes, I didn't pay attention."
KITTY said: "You must be focusing on finding evidence of Zhou Chongguang's plagiarism."
"Look what you said."
"Look what you did." KITTY held her cheek in her hand and looked at the retreating street scene outside the window: "You asked someone to post the post on Tianya Community, right? I'm curious who provided you with the publishing agreement for "Death Diary" photo."
"There is no airtight wall in this world, it all depends on what price you can afford."
"After the Shenggu Group's shareholders' meeting, you asked me to go drink coffee. Did you show it to Gong Ming on purpose?"
"It's such a pity that you didn't go, so I had no choice but to take this step."
"You are indeed a despicable fellow."
"No, this is not despicable at all. Strictly speaking, this is a conspiracy. It depends on whether Gong Ming is willing to sacrifice you to appease the anger of his father and CONSTANLY Group shareholders. Now... you should know the answer."
KITTY sighed heavily: "I really don't understand why you keep holding on to him."
Lin Yue stepped on the brakes and let pedestrians pass: "First, plagiarism is disrespect for the success of others' work. Zhou Chongguang must pay the price for this. Second, even if he suffers from cancer, I will kindly let him go." , does not mean that I can use his influence to continue to make profits. Third, I need a capable assistant, and you are the best choice."
"Aren't you afraid that I am Gong Ming's spy?"
"Not afraid."
"Why?"
"Because you will love me much more than you love him in the future."
KITTY's eyes widened for a moment, and she looked at Lin Yue who continued to drive with a natural look on his face. It took him a while to realize: "You really... feel good about yourself."
Lin Yue blinked at the woman's face in the rearview mirror: "Whether I am 'good' enough, you should know better than anyone else."
KITTY's face felt a little hot: "Why haven't I noticed that you are a smooth-tongued guy before?"
"There are still many places in me that you need to discover."
"..."
KITTY felt as if she had jumped from an ice cave into a fire pit: "Who said I had to be your assistant."
"You have always been." Lin Yue said: "During my absence for the past six months, I just loaned you to CONSTANLY Group temporarily. Now that I am back, of course you must continue to perform your contract, otherwise I will go to court to sue you."
KITTY frowned and thought for a while, and her expression changed. Gong Ming had signed an agreement with Lin Yue, and "" would no longer publish Zhou Chongguang's articles, and sent her as a personal assistant to help complete the fashion design rookie competition. However, She shot herself in the foot because of the seduction incident. On the day of the event, she stayed at home and drank all day. From this point of view, she breached the contract.
"Are you the devil?"
Lin Yue said: "What do you think?"
…
The "Death Countdown Plan" attracted a lot of criticism. Whether it was Zhou Chongguang's fans or readers with a moral bottom line, they either canceled their subscriptions or went to the website to raise questions.
Gong Ming was extremely busy these days. In order to restore his reputation, he had to hold a press conference to clarify that his plan was to donate the royalties from "Death Diary" to the Cancer Charity Foundation, and asked the president to endorse him. To a certain extent, it alleviates the criticism from society.
On the other hand, Zhou Chongguang has become even more at home, because in the past, when people saw him, they would excitedly ask for autographs and take photos, but now they are more pity and disdain, so he can only stay at home and play games, and the calluses on his hands are getting worse. The thicker.
Gu Li's hype about the matter gave her a chance to breathe, but she still underestimated the greed and composure of Shenggu Group's executives. She either couldn't see them, was perfunctory, pushed around, changed the subject, or talked about. She offered a price, but it was beyond her psychological price.
A few days later, the general manager's office.
"Mr. Gong, I know you have already spoken to Shenggu's executives on the phone, and I think you have offered a good price. I don't know how many people are interested. If you think you can take Shenggu away from me, I want to say that you are just daydreaming. If push comes to shove, I will sell the shares to Lin Yue, and he will be the largest shareholder of the group by then. You should know that he and I are classmates and were partners in organizing the Rookie Fashion Design Competition."
"Sell the shares to him? Are you willing to do this? I heard that you have been fighting with him for a long time and humiliated him by pretending that he is a poor boy and you are a rich girl. If you really want to sell the shares like this, Isn’t that equivalent to announcing to everyone that you are no match for him? Moreover, the CONSTANLY Group is behind it. Do you think Shenggu will fall into the hands of an unknown leather bag company, or will it have more development potential if it is merged into the CONSTANLY Group? "
"Handbag company?"
"I sent someone to check. HK Weiye Investment Company was established just over a month ago. It is small in scale, with a registered capital of only 5 million Hong Kong dollars. The general manager is a HK man named Liang Qicheng, 52 years old, but no one knows who he is now. Everywhere, relevant instructions for investment activities are issued online and over the phone.”
"..."
"So I advise you to be careful and don't fall into the trap of Lin, just like the Tianya community's explosive posts. I believe you know how uncomfortable it feels to be led by others."
"Yes, this experience is very bad. Mr. Gong, don't you understand it too? Why didn't you see KITTY today? How is she recently?"
Gu Li glared at him, stood up and left.
Gong Ming looked at her back and said, "So you see, at this point we are friends in need."
Gu Li paused for a moment, but said nothing and continued moving forward.
That day and night.
Outside a coffee shop on the Huangpu River, music notes were playing softly and the water was gurgling.
"Lin Yue, what do you mean?"
"what do you mean?"
"I asked someone to investigate, and HK Weicheng Investment Company is just a leather company."
"Does this have anything to do with me? I use people's money to eliminate disasters for others. The boss asked me to be responsible for acquiring Shenggu, so I will be responsible for acquiring Shenggu. As long as he doesn't commit crimes and doesn't default on payments, I don't care if he is a handbag company."
"You alone can't defeat CONSTANLY Group. I think... it's better if you and I join forces. With 57% of the shares, Gong Ming won't be able to complete the acquisition even if he takes 9% of the shares from all the executives."
"Are we two joining forces? Who listens to whom?"
"It doesn't matter who listens to whom. After all, we are classmates and our intimacy is always higher than Gong Ming's. The top priority is to dispel CONSTANLY Group's acquisition intention first. We can discuss who will lead the business activities in the future."
"Really?" Lin Yue said: "As soon as we join forces, the 9% shares held by the executives will lose the possibility of premium. You can find a way to take it back, right? If I take action first, then I will fall to Gong Ming. Then use 58% of the shares to turn me into a minority. Anyway, I am using the 25% of the shares I control to get everything. The story of the monkey dividing the cheese is in elementary school textbooks."
Gu Li's face looked ugly.
She really didn't have a fuel-efficient lamp, and she was so unlucky!
"So you don't agree with my proposal?"
Lin Yue said: "Let me think about it. For such a big matter, I have to ask the boss what he wants."
He stood up and shouted to pay. When the waiter came over, he paid for the coffee, took the bag and left.
Gu Li looked at his back angrily and was speechless for a long time.
Five minutes later, she received a call from Gu Yuan, asking her to meet at a coffee shop.
Half an hour later, she met Gu Yuan, who had not contacted her father since his burial.
"Tell me, why did you ask me to meet here?"
"We haven't seen each other since your dad's funeral. I was wondering...if we could sit down and have a nice chat."
"Speak directly, I'm very busy."
Gu Yuan said: "I know that Shenggu's current situation is not optimistic. You have tried many ways to keep your father's company, but the reality is so cruel. Next, a company will propose to acquire Shenggu."
Gu Li's expression changed slightly: "Who?"
"my mother."
"Ye Chuanping?"
"Yes." Gu Yuan nodded: "And I am the person in charge of the Ye Group's acquisition of Shenggu."
"Ha, that's ridiculous." Gu Lihan said with a face: "What's so good about Sheng Gu? You all care about him."
Gu Yuan said: "The current equity structure of Shenggu is very troublesome for you. If my mother can offer a good price, from my point of view, you might as well sell this mess of Shenggu. This will be good for you and me." , all have benefits.”
"You want to take away my father's company from me and still say you are good to me? Gu Yuan, I really should thank you." Gu Li said back to him, picked up the handbag on the table and stood up to go Walk outside.
Without thinking, Gu Yuan suddenly grabbed her wrist, looked into her eyes and said something.
Hearing him mention Lin Yue's name, Gu Li's expression changed. He hesitated for a moment and sat back down.
