When I returned to the coffee shop after class, it was almost dark.

As the seasons change, the days become shorter.

Following the sound of wind chimes, Ye Kong stopped at the door and looked up.

A string of wind chimes was hung on the originally empty door at some point.

The flowers hanging down are of various kinds.

Ye Kong looked at it, raised her hand and dialed it. With the sound of ding-dong, she put the book on the cash register and asked the barista who was making coffee, "Who bought it?"

"Mr. Wen bought it and asked me to hang it up."

Ye Kong glanced at the coffee shop and saw Zhou Song and others who he hadn't seen for a long time standing by the window, but he didn't see Wen Can.

Zhou Song waved at him from a distance, but Ye Kong ignored him and only muttered, "Why buy this thing? He blames it on his girlish heart."

Having said this, Ye Kong asked again: "Where are the others?"

"I don't know. I watched as I hung up the wind chimes and then went out. Maybe I was taking a walk."

Ye Kong: ...

After taking a look at the barista who was making coffee with his heart and answering questions with his feet, Ye Kong walked towards Zhou Song and the others without saying anything.

"Why did you come here so openly today?" Ye Kong asked, "Aren't you forbidden to associate with me?"

"Do you think we look like obedient people?"

Zhou Song raised his eyebrows at her, his eyes looking quite rebellious.

"Sit down." Tu Wan patted the booth next to him. Ye Kong took a look, dragged a chair from the back, and sat on it upside down.

"What do you want to talk to me about?" she asked.

"As a shareholder, why can't you come if you have nothing to do?" Zhou Song threw a nut into his mouth. "I just saw you were chased away by a dog on the forum. We are here to take care of you."

"You might as well say this to Lin Xinzhou's face."

"I wouldn't dare to do that. Miss Lin's father is about to be promoted again. Her status in the wealthy circle will rise to a higher level. Unless you really dare to treat her like a dog, who else dares to make fun of her?"

Tu Wan took a sip of coffee and said, "The beans you use are getting better and better. They suit my taste very well."

Ye Kong showed his disdain for coffee with a blank expression on his face.

Tu Wan put down the cup, looked up at her and said, "You haven't been paying much attention to the situation in the circle recently, right? Although those guys like to come to you, I heard that you never responded to any of them."

"No time." Ye Kong said.

"Okay, we can't force this." Tu Wan seemed a little helpless, but still said, "Let me tell you about the recent situation - the Li family is finished."

She said: "Literally finished - although Li Xuelai's first trial has just ended, the final outcome is set in stone. Based on various charges, he will either be sentenced to life imprisonment or death in the second trial. Moreover, after investigation, many relatives of the Li family have also participated in various crimes, including but not limited to money laundering, forcing employees to death, and money-for-sex transactions, etc. In summary, the Li family is finished."

"But you have to be careful of their counterattack," Zhou Song continued. "Li Xuelai is spending a lot of money to find a good lawyer to defend him. Unfortunately, no one is willing to take on this hot potato of his. With such a high level of public attention, whoever takes his case will be doomed. In such a desperate situation, it is not surprising that someone with no moral bottom line like him would do anything."

Ye Kong placed his hands on the back of the chair, propped up his chin, and nodded: "Got it."

She drooped her eyelids, tapped her fingers a few times, and then quickly uttered two words: "Thank you."

Zhou Song: “…”

Even Xu Yang, who was playing games, couldn't help but pause and turned to look at Ye Kong.

Ye Kong raised his head and met the silent gaze of the four people, and raised his voice and asked: "What are you looking at?"

"...Nothing." Tu Wan coughed, took another sip of coffee, and continued, "Also, although you don't know, this matter is still fermenting. Not only Yuzhou, but also several large companies in other cities have been tightened up by the authorities. Yuzhou's local companies have been forced to conduct self-inspections. At the same time..."

After a pause, she continued, "The flower box has reappeared in the public eye because of this incident. Several groups in Yuzhou have started donating to charity again. For example, the Wen and Qin families have jointly set up a charity foundation specifically for orphans. Other families have followed suit. Recently, news about major companies donating to the Hope Project has been on the hot search almost every day - it can barely be considered a good thing."

"Our family also donated." Zhou Song propped up his face and nodded to the other three people, "Everyone here donated, including the Ye family - but the reputation of this collective charity is far worse than before, especially Jiang Xu. The Jiang family donated the most and was criticized the most."

Wei Zhiyu was looking at his computer, not knowing what he was busy with. He typed on the keyboard while saying calmly, "After all, netizens are not forgetful. Last time, someone used the name of charity to do something so cruel and evil, of course everyone would be on high alert."

"But there are still a lot of compliments." Zhou Song said, "I was a little surprised. I thought everyone would be scolded, but it turned out that all the comments under my official blog were praises."

Ye Kong raised his head and said calmly: "What's so surprising about this? No matter which era, the common people are the easiest to please. As long as they see good things that benefit the people, no matter whether this good thing is related to themselves or not, everyone will not hesitate to praise and praise."

"That makes sense." Zhou Song said.

Tu Wan finished a cup of coffee without realizing it. She looked up and said, "By the way, did Li Yin contact you?"

This question made Ye Kong stunned for a moment: "No, what's wrong?"

"After leaving the police station, he and his mother seemed to have disappeared, and I couldn't contact them by phone - I wanted to talk to him about his company."

Tu Wan licked her lips as she spoke, most likely licking the coffee liquid, but this action combined with her sharp and shining eyes when she raised her eyes gave off a sense of greed like a hunter who was ready to eat raw meat and drink blood.

Facing Ye Kong's dark eyes, Tu Wan did not avoid it. She raised her eyebrows and said, "After all, that is a big piece of fat meat. Who in Yuzhou would not want to take a bite?"

"You mean, the Li Group is now in his hands?"

"Although those mistresses and illegitimate children are all very excited, I have to say that Zhang Zhicheng's arrangement is quite perfect. I don't know how he did it - he actually let Li Xuelai confirm the position of heir early on, and even held a shareholders' meeting and signed a shareholder letter of intent. In the event that Li Xuelai is no longer in office due to special circumstances, the position of chairman and all of Li Xuelai's shares will automatically belong to Li Yin."

"In fact," Wei Zhiyu suddenly spoke again, "if you hadn't done that to the Qin family, I'm afraid Zhang Zhicheng would have replaced Li Xuelai as the owner of the Li Group sooner or later - he is too cunning and scheming. Almost all of the problematic relatives of the Li family have had dealings with him, and he pushed them into trouble one after another before he went to prison. Even during the seven years he was in prison, these relatives continued to commit crimes. If it weren't for this, I'm afraid the Li family wouldn't have been so thoroughly ruined."

Ye Kong could only hear the general idea of ​​these things, so he tapped his face and said calmly: "But Li Yin never came to see me - I have nothing to do with him, why would he come to see me?"

"You're not his owner?" Zhou Song looked at her with a smile, "Let me ask you, which one do you like better, a vicious dog like Li Yin or a cute little dog like Lin Xinzhou?"
