The black car drove steadily into the parking area, located at the Gusu Building on the old central street of Linhai. This is a building with a long history.
It is almost a hundred years old, but because of its advanced design concept and materials, it is not outdated at all from today's perspective.
Li Xinzhi and Nangong Nuoya walked down slowly. Because today is Saturday, considering the sleep of their subordinates and the time to reunite with their families, the two set the meeting time at around 11 o'clock in the morning, and held a buffet on the top floor, so that the teams of both sides could meet and get to know each other.
""Uncle Zhong, I'm going to sit in the coffee shop with Mr. Xinzhi first, and I'll go up later." Just like reporting to his parents,
Nangong Nuoya smiled and asked Uncle Zhong, who was his security consultant and even his godfather.
As a senior subordinate of his mother Qing Teng Shiyu, he was one of the people he trusted the most.
"Well, Miss, enjoy your date. Mr. Li, I'll leave my daughter in your care!"Uncle Zhong smiled and nodded, and at the same time cast his eyes on Li Xinzhi, thinking that this guy was more and more pleasing to the eye.
After all, at this age, he has such demeanor and upbringing, and can even suppress the always naughty Nangong Nuoya. It seems that Miss's vision is really good.
"Really! Uncle Zhong, what are you talking about! Mr. Li and I are allies!" But before she finished speaking, Nangong Nuoya had already blushed and denied it. She couldn't stand teasing when she was around people close to her, which meant she was the type with low defense.
"Don't worry, Uncle Zhong, I will protect Senior Nuoya well."Li Xinzhi saw the man's recognition and entrustment in Uncle Zhong's eyes, and patted his chest to indicate that he understood.
""Okay! Let's go first! Uncle Zhong!" Looking at this boy who is usually mean but always unexpectedly serious at times,
Nangong Nuoya hurriedly pushed his back and left. Otherwise, if he continued, he would fall further.
""Hmm~ what youth is like!" Wei Jingzhong, who had experienced it, sighed, thinking that his quirky second daughter had finally met her nemesis, and took out his mobile phone to kill time.
The shop that Li Xinzhi and Nangong Nuoya went to was a nearby Lyle Coffee House with a long history.
This old shop has existed since the Special Economic Zone era, and it still retains its quaint practices.
Li Xinzhi took the initiative to push open the door with wind chimes, thinking that the lady should go first, and deliberately posed for Nangong Nuoya to go in first.
Because this guy kept attacking his defense line, Nangong Nuoya snorted, stepped into the door first without hesitation, and deliberately ignored this bad-hearted guy.
"I want a latte, half sugar and more cream, Xinzhi, how about you?"But thinking that I am the host today.
It was Li Xinzhi who was invited by me to come and meet him, so Nangong Nuoya ordered a cup of coffee for herself, turned around and asked him about his taste, ready to treat him.
"Hmm... black coffee with some salt and some lemon juice." Li Xinzhi pondered for a moment, thinking that he should be more alert when they met later, so he ordered himself a cup of navy coffee, which was a must-have when he stayed up late in his previous life.
"Wow! It's so weird to drink it."Nangong Nuoya complained about Li Xinzhi's strange way of drinking coffee while paying. It's self-torture if you don't drink it sweet.
"It's a habit, this stuff is really refreshing!"Li Xinzhi put his hands in his pockets and responded to Nangong Nuoya in a seemingly relaxed manner, but once he recalled the reason, it was really sad.
When he was exiled to the Lin family, he relied on this stuff to stay up late to study and work day and night.
Only then could he climb to the top again. Unconsciously, Li Xinzhi has become dependent on this way of drinking.
After the two found a seat by the window and sat down, the coffee came up soon.
Each of them poured the ingredients for their own coffee, stirred it evenly, and after drinking it, they began to think about how to start the topic.
After all, they came here to kill time, so naturally they had to chat.
"Will everyone from the seniors come over later?"Li Xinzhi thought for a while and started asking questions first. After all, he was very interested in Nangong Nuoya's team.
It was a good thing that she could control so many talented people. However, considering that she was Nangong Yehai's sister, it was not surprising.
"Well, besides Uncle Zhong, Sister Hualin and Uncle Zhao are here, oh~ Uncle Yan will be here too." Nangong Nuoya looked through the group's response messages on her phone and gave Li Xinzhi an affirmative answer.
However, although everyone is capable, Nangong Nuoya sometimes worries about how to coordinate their relationships. Some of these people are direct elders of her mother, Qing Teng Shigure. There are also capable men sent by her father, Nangong Qingye, to assist her. Their relationships cannot be said to be harmonious and loving, but at least they are incompatible.
The Nangong family's branch in Linhai, although nominally belongs to the Nangong family.
But at its core, it is the kingdom laid by her mother, Qing Teng Shigure, which was just the dowry she prepared when she married her father.
And she only has the right to name the country. The real heir can only be Nangong Nuoya, who has her blood flowing in her veins, and other people in the Nangong family cannot get involved.
Nangong Nuoya has I always feel that my mother's life is a real legend. From a sickly and weak second daughter who was not valued, to a strong woman who could build an empire with limited resources, her life was full of infinite brilliance.
However, the only failure might be that she fell in love with her brother-in-law and married him regardless of worldly views, and used Linhai's foundation as a dowry.
And Nangong Nuoya has never suffered the grievances of an illegitimate daughter except for being gossiped about behind her back since she was a child.
Even her quality of life is better than that of her two half-siblings far away in Zhongjing. After all, she has such a reliable mother. It's a pity that with the death of her mother, Nangong Nuoya's body also had problems with operations due to her inherited heart problems, and she had to ask for support from her family. And Nangong Nuoya, who has always doted on herself, has always been a hero in the family.
Father Nangong Qingye also sent his subordinate Yan Zaigui and financial support, and finally overcame the difficulties.
But as the saying goes, the gift of fate has a price tag, and the Linhai branch that accepted the rescue.
Naturally, it has to cede some rights to the people of the family in return, but giving the share of the cake to outsiders will naturally cause conflicts.
Now Nangong Nuoya is facing the conflict between the local faction and the outsider faction in the company.
Naturally, he still needs the help of his family at this stage, but there is also the risk of being eroded. Nangong Nuoya knows that the people of the family are very jealous of Linhai's foundation.
And Nangong Yehai thinks so much of himself, Nangong Nuoya can understand.
With this independent foundation to rely on, his mother Qing Teng Shiyu is also The legal wife, so she is also qualified to compete for the family business.
Even if she fails, she can retreat to Linhai and secede. It is indeed a troublesome obstacle. If Nangong Nuoya was in Nangong Yehai's position, he would also regard her as a serious threat.
However, Nangong Nuoya has no desire to fight for power. She can just live an ordinary life.
Her body is like this. Even if she wins, she doesn't know how many days she can be happy. She might as well enjoy the rest of the time.
But power is the cruelest game. As long as you still have the chips in your hands and someone supports you, you are destined to be pushed to the table to bet.
And Nangong Nuoya is also a proud person. Naturally, he doesn't want to give away the foundation laid by his mother with great effort, so he should be prepared.
"Senior? Are you worried about something?"But because of this troublesome situation, Nangong Nuoya, who was talking and laughing just now, suddenly lowered his head and fell silent, which made Li Xinzhi a little worried.
"No, it's okay... Sorry Xinzhi, I might have dragged you into this.……"Nangong Nuoya felt relieved and cared for, but she couldn't help feeling a little guilty. After all, she had dragged this boy into this mess.
"Don't worry, senior. Since you have received benefits from your allies, you must naturally take corresponding responsibilities. Besides, I am the kind of man who is not afraid of causing trouble~"
Li Xinzhi looked indifferent. Compared with the storms in his previous life, this storm was nothing.
The opponent was still defeated by him, but in order to reassure the girl, he deliberately responded to her in a playful tone.
"Humph! Slippery tongue!"Nangong Nuoya couldn't help sticking out her tongue and acting like a spoiled child to Li Xinzhi. She was obviously older than him, so why was she always suppressed by him? However, she felt much more relaxed after all.
"By the way, is your ex-fiancee okay? You just left like that?"After a while, it is said that it is human nature to like gossip.
Nangong Nuoya finally couldn't help asking the question that had been puzzling her. After all, Lin Xinzhi was famous for doting on his fiancee Lin Qingxue.
As a result, after this guy ran away, he seemed to have let it go. Not only did he never mention his fiancee.
Instead, he had a new love, although they were still not lovers yet, which made her a little confused.
"It's a really sharp question... How should I put it? We have each walked on different paths. Qingxue has her own true lover, and I also have a girl I want to hold hands with. I think we both have our own new lives."
Li Xinzhi drank a sip of sour and salty coffee, as if tasting his past life, but his heart was still calm, and he spoke his mind directly.
Continuing to force it will only add to the troubles, it is better to let go, anyway, I am not bad, I have no shortage of love and friendship, and I am not short of money, so why bother?
"So, Xinzhi, you are really a free and easy person."Nangong Nuoya clapped his hands to show his approval. To be honest, he also likes his free and easy temperament.
But suddenly, the quirky Nangong Nuoya had a bad idea. He suddenly picked up the coffee in front of Li Xinzhi and took a deep sip.
"Senior? ?"Li Xinzhi was a little confused by the sudden action of this little devil, and didn't understand her intention.
"Wow! It's so sour and salty, and you can drink it!"Nangong Nuoya couldn't help spitting out her delicate tongue because of the bitterness of the coffee in the cup, and couldn't stop complaining, but unexpectedly, after taking a sip, her spirits were refreshed.
"After all, it is very effective. One sip can keep you energetic for the whole day!"Thinking that it was Nangong Nuoya who wanted to taste the taste of his coffee.
Li Xinzhi looked at her with some helplessness and a doting expression. After all, although the demon witch likes to make trouble, she is really cute.
"However, I think that coffee must be sweet, you taste it for me!"But Nangong Nuoya, who loves sweets, denied this with some dissatisfaction, and forcefully pushed his coffee in front of Li Xinzhi, asking him to drink it.
Although I don't know what happened to Li Xinzhi, why he has such a self-abuse way of drinking.
But Nangong Nuoya always feels that it is her responsibility to correct his bad habits, but more importantly, she wants him to taste the sweetness of life more.
"I see. Then you're welcome... Mm, it's really delicious. It turns out that coffee tastes better with sugar.……"
Li Xinzhi could not refuse the kindness, so he could only raise his coffee and take a deep sip, feeling the coffee fully mixed with fresh milk and syrup, and said with a smile what he thought from the bottom of his heart.
Yes, coffee should be sweet after all. He no longer needs that sour taste. To move forward, he should be frank and enjoy life.
""Right! Right! Am I right?" Looking at the boy's smiling face, Nangong Nuoya was happy and proud, but to be honest, she wanted more. Seeing Li Xinzhi's smile, Nangong Nuoya couldn't help blushing when she thought of this.
