On the other side, Luo Yuzhu asked with a sullen face: "Don't you know what to say? I know you are angry. Why are you angry at him when you come to me?"
"You, you, you... let me tell you what you are good at."
Chen Jianghe pointed at her, saying that he was reluctant to say harsh words, and he was still a little henpecked. Let's not say harsh words. What she and Wang Xu did was too much: "Do you have to make everyone betray you before you give up?"
"You are the one who betrayed everyone, right?"
Chen Jianghe was stunned for a moment and wanted to hit the table hard, but he raised his hand but was unable to lower it.
What can be done?
After so many years, he and Luo Yuzhu had never won when they were angry. In the end, he was the one who coaxed her.
Luo Yuzhu said: "Aren't you just worried that Yuzhu Group will follow in the footsteps of Xicheng Chemical Plant? The city will not let him do this."
Chen Jianghe said: "I just received a call from the Yiwu Ten Outstanding Women Jury, hoping that you would voluntarily give up the selection."
In this kind of selection, who will get the title is basically determined by default. The jury has even compiled her growth story. Now that I have called her and hope that she will give up on her own initiative, it is already saving her face, otherwise her name will be reserved. In the end, it would be embarrassing if you couldn’t choose one, and you were not even as good as some self-employed people.
"These are a bunch of little people who adapt to the changing circumstances."
Chen Jianghe said: "Do you think the city doesn't know about this?"
"It must be someone surnamed Lin, and he is doing little things behind his back. Who will take over if I quit? Chen Yulian?"
"Yuzhu..."
Just as Chen Jianghe was about to persuade her not to be so extreme, the landline on his desk rang.
He bent down and picked up the receiver and put it to his ear.
"Hey, who's there?"
Three seconds later, his face became even more ugly and he put the receiver down heavily.
"What's the bad news?"
It seems that Luo Yuzhu is used to days with bad news.
Chen Jianghe said: "Laion unilaterally announced price cuts across the board."
"That……"
"Yes, he wanted to corner Fernand."
Leon announced that the price of Yuzhu Group's products shipped to Europe will be reduced across the board. As a result, businessmen who have cooperative relationships with Fernand's family will have to face a bleak future. Once they withdraw funds or end the cooperative relationship, Fernand's family will face a bleak future. The debt crisis of the Nande family will break out in full force.
"I think he is doing this to take revenge on us."
"..."
Chen Jianghe said nothing, but it was obvious that he agreed with Luo Yuzhu's words.
Once the Nguyen Group, Ngoc Chu Group, and Shreve Department Store share the market, they will be less dependent on Europe. If Fernand’s family survives the debt crisis safely, the Yang Group’s goods will grow rapidly in the future. To occupy the market, at least until Yang Xue can no longer hold on, Laon's sales system in Europe will suffer a devastating blow.
In order not to lose in the game, Leon must kill Fernand as soon as possible and seize the opportunity to seize various resources. After he completes the integration of the European market, in the future, whether he will cooperate with Shreev and Nguyen Van Hung, or lean toward the Yuzhu Group, or pay for the acquisition The agreement between Fernande and the Yang Group was decided by Laian, which turned passive into active.
"How many times have I told Leon not to act too hastily. If he does this, Fernand will definitely jump over the wall in a hurry and bite him even before he dies."
Luo Yuzhu said: "Laian is a gambler and believes in the principle of gaining wealth through risk. If you say you temporarily give up the European market, he doesn't think that hibernating for a while is for better hunting. He might even think that you are giving him money. Draw a pie that cannot be realized in five or ten years.”
】
Chen Jianghe glanced at her in surprise.
"Yuzhu, when it comes to high-profile matters, you can analyze the problem calmly and objectively. Why do you lose your mind when Lin Yue is involved?"
"Who said I lost my mind? It's because you took him too seriously."
Luo Yuzhu dropped these words and turned away, followed by her voice instructing Yu Yu to go to the chairman's office to clean up the broken pieces of the tea cup.
…
A week later.
There is a somewhat bleak atmosphere in Yiwu in winter, but the small commodity mall is still crowded with people. Merchants who come from all over the country to purchase goods are walking on the sidewalk carrying large and small bags of goods. The security guards keep shouting loudly to let those pictures. It makes it easier for drivers who park randomly to move their cars to a place out of the way.
Qiu Yan stopped a few merchants with northern accents and asked them a few questions. He looked at the scale on his watch and found that it was almost noon, so he asked his assistant Xiao Zhao to take the information back to the office, and helped two people in their forties and fifties. The woman carried the six snakeskin bags to the tricycle, then dusted off her hands, got into the cab of the Volkswagen Golf, started the engine and drove home.
"Back to Yiwu Xinsheng, listeners, let's break in to a piece of news first, and then let's listen to a popular song this year, Tang Lei's Lilac. According to the news obtained by our station, the son of the chairman of Yuzhu Group passed through Yiwu a few days ago. After the TV station publicly apologized to the injured reporter, today the general manager of Yuzhu Group, Ms. Luo Yuzhu, announced her withdrawal from the selection of the top ten outstanding women in Yiwu and expressed her apology to the general public for not educating children well."
The sweet voice of the traffic radio host came from the loudspeaker.
Qiu Yan glanced at the center console and reached out to press the button to turn off the radio.
In the past, if Luo Yuzhu and Wang Xu did this, she might have a favorable impression and felt that the mother and son could still be saved, but now... she knew very well that one of the two people announced their withdrawal due to public pressure, and the other was afraid of squatting. The detention center had to publicly apologize and put an end to the matter.
laugh……
The car braked suddenly and almost hit the man on the non-motorized lane.
"You don't have eyes? How do you drive?"
"sorry Sorry."
Qiu Yan quickly apologized and drove away after the other party gave her a look.
Fifteen minutes later, she came downstairs to her house, parked her car, and carried her bag upstairs. She was stunned as soon as she opened the door because there was a blue suitcase next to the sofa and a pot of tea on the coffee table. It was hot. It must have just boiled. Looking past the sliding door, you could see a person standing on the balcony, collecting the clothes that were dried on the clothes pole.
Their eyes met in the air.
Qiu Yan subconsciously called "Dad".
"Why didn't you tell me anything when you came back? My brother's matter... the other party stopped making trouble?"
Qiu Yingjie said nothing, threw the clothes in his hand onto the three-person sofa in the living room, and sat down on the single sofa facing the door.
Qiu Yan suddenly felt something bad, not only because the atmosphere in the living room was a bit solemn, but also because of the expression on Qiu Yingjie's face.
When she was a child, she didn't finish her homework, or she was called a parent because of her misbehavior at school, or someone in the work field caused financial losses or even casualties due to negligence, he always had this expression.
In the past ten years, that face has many traces of time compared to the photo hanging on the west wall, but the aura that surrounds the body when suppressing anger has never changed.
"dad……"
She put her handbag on the coffee table and walked over.
"When did you arrive?"
Qiu Yingjie still didn't answer the question and stared at his daughter's face.
Qiu Yan tilted her head slightly, not daring to look at him, and kept asking herself, could her feelings for Lin Yue... be...
"No wonder you insisted on moving out from Chen Jianghe. If it hadn't been for Wang Xu's call, I would have thought you were really worried about getting involved in the Chen family's infighting."
Wang Xu?
Did Wang Xu tell Qiu Yingjie about her?
She was panicked, her heart was in a mess, and she had that suffocating feeling of nervousness and fear intertwined.
Although she had long been prepared for her thoughts to be exposed, and had thought about resisting to the end and refusing to admit it, she really couldn't do such a thing in front of the father who raised her.
Seeing that she was silent, Qiu Yingjie said in a deeper voice: "Don't you want to explain it to me?"
Qiu Yan: "..."
Explain what? How did you fall in love with him? Or is Wang Xu farting?
"I should have noticed it a long time ago. I should have noticed it when you were in college... no, in high school."
What is the default? The default is to admit. In Qiu Yingjie's view, Qiu Yan's statement is more infuriating than being exposed after lying, because it shows that his daughter has begun to face the feelings that she should not have.
"You clearly know that he is my little brother and your uncle, but you actually... actually..."
Qiu Yingjie was so angry that he banged the table, which frightened the girl opposite her with her shoulders hunched, her head lowered, her legs tightly together, and she didn't dare to let out a breath.
"Qiu Yan, do you want to piss me off to death?"
I stopped talking about it when I was a child. After Qiu Yan entered junior high school, he and Zhang Xue never had to worry about it. Whether it was studies, life, or the relationship with his younger brother, he had always been very sensible, neither impatient nor impatient, gentle and polite. Whoever saw it Everyone praised her as an angel-like girl, but he never expected that such a good girl would actually fall in love with a man who was thirteen years older than her and even called her father a brother.
"Is it Lin Yue? He took the initiative to approach you, right?"
"No, it's not him. It has nothing to do with him. It's... I can't help but secretly like him."
"You can't control yourself? You still have the nerve to say that! He is your uncle!" Qiu Yingjie said angrily.
Mainly because he had too high expectations for Qiu Yan. She had no language foundation and moved from China to the United States to study. Not only was she admitted to a prestigious school like the University of California, Berkeley, but she also completed four years of university studies in just three years. In all courses, it can be said that Qiu Yan is better than him and Zhang Xue, but such an outstanding girl can actually do such a thing.
"Then does he know?"
Qiu Yan shook his head.
Originally, she wanted to say she didn't know, but she was a little unsure, because Chen Tingting said that if Lin Yue was half as good to her, he would be satisfied. She smiled and said that it was because Brother Lin watched her grow up, but she could not help but have a lot of reveries in her heart. In addition, the merchants in the small commodity mall liked to make fun of her, asking Lin Yue if he was waiting for not getting married for so many years. she.
So she wasn't sure what he was thinking, but it was absolutely impossible for her to take the initiative to ask.
Knowing that his daughter and brother had not yet reached the stage of showdown, Qiu Yingjie breathed a sigh of relief and was glad that he was not late. If the two of them were really together, then this person would have been abandoned at his grandma's house.
"You know, your mother and I have been using you to educate your brother and the friends around you. Who doesn't envy you when talking about you? You are said to have a good personality and study well. You have never let us worry about you since you were a child. But you Now...how can you be a role model to your brother?"
Qiu Yan lowered his head and said nothing.
Yes, she has good grades and a good personality. Unlike her younger brother, who has been a troublemaker since kindergarten. Today she cuts girls' hair, tomorrow she puts plasticine on the teacher's clothes, and she also learned to give the middle finger to the black people on TV. But she never told anyone why she studied so hard.
Because before leaving, Lin Yue said that he should study hard and come back to help him when she grows up. What companies need most in the future is returnees who understand foreign languages and know how to deal with foreigners. He also said that don’t look at the fact that people were running away in the 1980s and 1990s. , ten or twenty years from now, returning to work and living in China will become the mainstream. It's a pity that he doesn't have the time and energy to study abroad, so he leaves this task to her to complete for him.
She didn't understand the significance of this sentence when she was in elementary school. It was only in junior high school and high school that she felt the pressure, because Lin Yue attended Shanghai Jiao Tong University, which is the leading university in China after Qingbei. She wanted to pursue She fell in love with him and wanted to be favored by him. The only choice was to enter a prestigious American school, so she became a girl who was both sensible and excellent in the eyes of her parents and relatives.
"At first, your mother and I were quite happy when you stayed at Chen Jianghe's house. We felt that you and Wang Xu... our families knew each other well and could get closer in the future, but who knew... you... well!"
It's winter, and the tea water quickly cools down. When the water heater detects that the water temperature is less than 60 degrees, it automatically heats it, making a squeaking noise.
He didn't tell anyone when he came back this time. As soon as he got home, he made himself a pot of tea. He wanted to sit down and have a good chat with his daughter, but when he saw Qiu Yan and thought of what Wang Xu said, he couldn't suppress the anger in his heart. and disappointment.
Qiu Yan said: "Dad, I don't know what Wang Xu told you, but it's impossible for me and him."
Qiu Yingjie said: "I don't care whether you and Wang Xu can make it or not. Anyway, from today on, you are not allowed to meet Lin Yue again."
"dad……"
"Qiu Yan, are you going to piss me off to death?"
"..."
She looked at her father, who had a lot of gray hair, and felt aggrieved and unwilling, but as a good girl, she really couldn't do anything like contradicting her parents head-on.
…
Shanghai.
The whistle sounded and the waves rolled on the Huangpu River.
There are people coming and going downstairs in the office building on Zhang Yang Road. Men in suits and leather suits with briefcases are waiting anxiously for the green light. Young girls with green faces are looking at the tall buildings on both sides of the road with a little timidity. It seems that it is their first time in such a metropolis. , full of curiosity about everything I see, and at the same time, I have fear and inferiority that make it difficult to integrate into this city.
In the room on the highest floor of the Yang Group headquarters.
Lin Yue was wearing a white nightgown and sat elegantly on the three-person sofa. He was concentrating on his laptop, replying to important emails one by one, and transferring unimportant ones to Li Ming, the newly appointed assistant to the general manager.
Card……
With a soft sound, the door to the bathroom opened, and Yang Xue walked out wearing the bright red silk nightgown.
She had just taken a shower, her hair was wet, and there were a few drops of water on her white calves, which meandered over her delicate skin as she walked.
A faint fragrance passed by, and Lin Yue raised his head and looked at her with a smile.
Yang Xue gave him a reproachful look and sat down on the single sofa next to him.
Lin Yue patted the empty seat next to him, meaning to sit down.
Her eyes were slightly slanted and she didn't move.
Lin Yue said: "Are you angry now?"
"Down here is the company's work area. The employees are all working. If you don't think it's embarrassing, I still think it's embarrassing."
Yang Xue regretted it now. She regretted setting up her home above the company. In the past, she could save time and practice her character of a strong woman, but Lin Yue destroyed the reputation she had built up for ten years in just a few days. Clean.
"They were working downstairs, and we were making out upstairs. When I asked you if it was stimulating, you didn't say anything, let alone resist. Now you put all the blame on me. You really know how to excuse yourself." Lin Yue patted the empty space beside him again: "Come, come here, let me love you."
Yang Xue grabbed the pillow behind her and threw it over.
"Who said I didn't resist? I said no, no, it's dangerous. Did you listen?"
Lin Yue was about to speak when a panicked female voice came from outside.
"Old lady, Mr. Yang is not here, so you can't go up."
It was secretary Xiaowei’s voice.
Of course, this is not the point. The point is the old lady in Xiaowei's mouth.
old lady?
Who is the old lady in her mouth?
Yang Tianci’s wife Feng Xiao’e!
Lin Yue thought about it, and stopped swiping his finger on the touch pad. Yang Xue suddenly stood up, his expression changed drastically: "My mother is here."
"Old lady, Mr. Yang is really not here, really, you believe me..."
Xiaowei's voice became even more panicked because the footsteps had already come to the door.
Pa~pa~pa~
There was a dull knock on the door.
"Old lady, old lady, stop filming. You are affecting everyone's work like this..."
Xiaowei is still trying to persuade her, but what's the use?
what to do?
what to do? !
There was unconcealable panic in Yang Xue's eyes.
