Half a catty

There are only two seasons in J city, summer and winter are distinct, the other two are just a short transition, the length of spring is only the time for a tree to go from bare to lush, and autumn is to wait for those leaves to fall off, willful completely ignored the solar terms.

He Yue stood by the high-rise window of Xinghuan, looking down, a gust of wind blew by, and some weak leaves on the treetops by the roadside were already in danger, falling down sporadically.

Su Qiming walked around the area twice, but He Yue's posture of standing by the window remained unchanged.He walked over step by step with his hands behind his back, pretending to follow He Yue and overlook the street scene.

"What's there to see here?" Su Qiming looked at the hurrying pedestrians and asked in confusion.

He Yue still couldn't take his eyes off, and he spoke in a somewhat unpredictable manner: "Summer is coming to an end again."

Su Qiming couldn't understand, so he pretended to say: "Yes. Time flies so fast."

He Yue added: "I plan to buy a house in City Y and move there in winter."

As soon as Su Qiming mentioned City Y, he thought of the sea breeze blowing across the beach, the non-stop parties, the handsome men and women who never looked the same, as well as countless casinos, horse races... and the few money he won on New Year's Day this year. million.

The unpleasant memories made the corners of Su Qiming's eyes twitch slightly: "Uh—are you kidding me? We stayed there for two days and took a few hundred to go in. You still want to buy a house to live in?"

"What I like is that City Y has a good climate, complete facilities, and a slow pace of life, which is suitable for people like my mother." He Yue shrugged: "I have already asked someone to help me look at the house. It is backed by mountains and facing the sea, and it is quiet."

Su Qiming muttered: "I really went to retire..."

He Yue didn't pay attention because his phone vibrated.He Yue looked down at the information, glanced across two lines, and a smile appeared in his eyes.

"I'm off work first." He Yue raised his head and said to Su Qiming.

Su Qiming was taken aback: "Why are you going? I happen to have nothing to do."

There is something in He Yue's words: "You should prepare your red envelope."

"What do you mean?" Su Qiming chased after him.

He Yue couldn't wait for his footsteps. He came to the elevator, raised his lips and said with a smile: "My custom-made ring has arrived."

Su Qiming was dumbfounded. He was just making fun of He Yue before, but he never thought that he would make a promise: "No, no...you are serious about him..."

He Yue has never measured himself by "whether he is serious or not". He just does what he wants, buys a ring if he wants to, and gives it to Wang Chengyi if he wants to give it to him.

In the jewelry store, with the help of the clerk, He Yue tried on the one that belonged to him.

He used to like to weigh the pros and cons, and he liked to choose a more secure path, save worry and effort, and be self-centered.He can treat others carelessly, but the people he chooses must be loyal to him.

Being with Wang Chengyi was the most "extraordinary" thing he had done in these years, and it has been out of control ever since.Even though he has tasted the bitterness, surrendered his trust and was betrayed, he tried his best to rein in the precipice, but he couldn't escape the irredeemable attraction.

While waiting for the clerk to put the ring into a very solemn box and cover it with exquisite packaging, He Yue walked around the store a few more times.He picked up a piece of jade inlaid with platinum. The price of this pendant is even more expensive than a piece of bare jade, but anyone who understands understands that the extra decoration means that there are hidden flaws underneath.

Yes, even if there are flaws in this trust, he can fill up the cracks and wrap them up, and it is still a wonderfully crafted luxury.

After receiving the bag, he walked out of the store accompanied by the clerk, and stepped onto the glass bridge connecting the jewelry store and the shopping mall.

On the side of the corridor bridge is the three-story-high transparent glass on the side of the shopping mall gate. Of course, the sound insulation is not as good as the solid wall.

So He Yue's ears twitched when he heard the sound of an engine roaring from far and near.Each model of each brand has its own sound waves. If you listen to it a lot, you can even distinguish a specific car.

He tilted his head, his eyes looked through the glass, and he saw a blurry black figure crossing the road at the entrance of the shopping mall and quickly disappearing from his field of vision, which looked familiar.

Wang Chengyi put the car in the parking lot, followed the waiter into the elevator, and came to a membership-only teahouse.This teahouse is located on the top of a high-rise building, the decoration inside is antique, the small bridge and flowing water lie in the reinforced concrete, and the outside is a modern city, which complements each other perfectly.

The owner of the teahouse kept several rare parrots, which fluttered over the head and chirped from time to time. They were full of vitality and filled with the fragrance of tea, which was very in line with the leisurely mood of middle-aged people.

For example, the middle-aged man sitting opposite Wang Chengyi.

If He Yue was here, he should be able to recognize that this middle-aged man is one of the members of Hengtong's board of directors.

"Uncle Li, you should know what I mean." Wang Chengyi said.

The man called Uncle Li by Wang Chengyi was named Li Fan. Li Fan took a sip of hot tea carefully, breathed out, and said, "Your father told me."

"Then what do you think?"

Li Fan lowered his eyes, tapped his fingers on the table, and did not directly answer Wang Chengyi's question: "Let me tell you the truth, I have the idea of ​​cashing out, and this idea is not just me." He lowered his voice subconsciously. Some voices: "To put it bluntly, Menqi is old and his heart is not good. He has not lived for a few years. Now timid people like me who want to be safe are contacting buyers."

Wang Chengyi showed joy on his face: "That would be great."

Unexpectedly, Li Fan shook his head: "It's not like I said, young people like you think about this too simply."

With palms up, Li Fan approached the teacup in front of Wang Chengyi, and made a "please" gesture, telling Wang Chengyi to be calm.

"Hengtong is not a grassroots team. The measures to prevent hostile takeovers are always more than your means. No matter whether you want to make a private agreement in this way or go to the market to collect shares, it will not work." Li Fan said.

These words undoubtedly dashed most of Wang Chengyi's hopes.

He saw the news of Hengtong's share transfer in the newspaper that day, which shocked him even more, but He Yue could still act as if nothing had happened.Wang Chengyi really wanted to rush up to ask what happened, but He Yue's calm made him unable to speak. He could feel that He Yue wanted to hide it from him.

Therefore, there is his self-assessment today.

Wang Chengyi frowned: "How about going the regular way?"

"Even if you take the formal way, let's put it on the bright side, you can't do it." Li Fan vetoed it flatly: "And, do you know why you can't do it?"

"Why?" Wang Chengyi asked.

"Before He Yue willingly sold his shares, Hengtong held two extraordinary shareholders' meetings. The first time he resisted, but after the second time, he signed the transfer agreement within a few days. I think it is very likely that Because the board of supervisors took out a... photo of you and him."

It took Wang Chengyi a few seconds to figure out what the photo was. His expression was confused, which contrasted sharply with Li Fan's profound meaning. Gradually, he felt a hint of it from Li Fan's ambiguous tone.

Like a basin of ice water being poured over his head, Wang Chengyi sat blankly on his seat, his thoughts were completely blank for a moment, only the soreness and throbbing pain in his chest stimulated his brain.

"Kicking He Yue out of Hengtong was led by Menqi. Although he didn't rush to the front, the loudest shouters were all ordered by him. At least half of the board of directors would act according to his winks. After Li Fan finished speaking, he asked back: "The relationship between you and He Yue is well known in the board of directors. Do you think he will let you buy it?"

of course not.

"...Then what should I do?" Wang Chengyi's voice was dull and hoarse.

Li Fan sighed: "I don't know either, but one thing I can be sure of is that as long as Men Qi doesn't nod his head, let alone join the board of directors, even if you use money to smash the heads of those directors, they won't dare to sell their shares." for you."

Wang Chengyi lowered his head and thought for a while, during which time a parrot landed on his lap and pecked the back of his hand, it should have hurt a little, but Wang Chengyi didn't feel it: "That Menqi, what you say really carries so much weight. "

"Hengtong is a part of the credit for the establishment of Hengtong. At the beginning, those old shareholders left and retreated, and he was left with He Xincheng. After so many years, now without He Xincheng holding him down, you should be able to imagine How much power does he have to speak."

The tea in front of Wang Chengyi no longer had the steaming milky white steam, and the wall of the cup also cooled down slowly as every minute passed.

"So, it seems to be a dead end." Wang Chengyi said in a low voice.

"It depends on man's will." From Li Fan's point of view, Wang Chengyi is still young in this regard, and he is prone to pessimism in the face of difficulties. After all, there are no absolutes in the business world, and no one knows whether there will be a turning point until he makes the last effort.Li Fan pointed out: "You have found the right person. I have a deeper friendship with your father than I have with that man. I would like to tell you more. You have an advantage that ordinary people don't have."

Wang Chengyi raised his eyes and asked, "What advantage?"

"Your family is rich." Li Fan laughed and said, "If you want to eat He Yue's shares, you have to have that appetite. I guess Menqi has already suffered from indigestion."

Wang Chengyi can't use money to smash the heads of other shareholders, but he can use money to smash Men Qi.

He Yue pushed open the door of the house, and the housekeeper came out to welcome him, and came up to take the bag in his hand, but He Yue declined with a smile.

"Is Cheng Yi at home?" He Yue asked the housekeeper.

"I went out after about noon." The butler replied.

He Yue thought for a moment, and it was just right when he came back with a "monster" in his hand, he would inevitably be turned upside down by Wang Chengyi, and when he found two rings, there was a surprise, but there was no sense of ceremony left.

Back in the bedroom, he threw away the redundant packaging and kept a lightweight box.Holding it in his hand and turning it around the room twice, He Yue still opened the drawer of the bedside table and chose to put it next to the pair of blue diamond cuffs, close together.
