Sole decision

Pei Zhaoxue looked at the young man in front of him, and there was some thought in the other person's eyes that he wanted to continue talking. He might need Pei Zhaoxue to ask "why", so that the whole story would not be so monotonous, and he was not talking to himself alone. language.Pei Zhaoxue knew it in his heart, but he didn't have that much curiosity.In his opinion, what he wanted to say to A Fei on a whim has already been said, as for whether A Fei listens or not, and how much he listens to, that is not important to him.

What's more, Pei Zhaoxue didn't care much about A Fei's so-called "staying" mentality.His attitude may be a bit ruthless to A Fei, A Fei waited for a long time but did not wait for Pei Zhaoxue to say a word, he lowered his head, then simply turned around and ignored Pei Zhaoxue.Pei Zhaoxue stayed alone for a while. After some time, the sun was about to set, and his cell phone rang. It was Zhou Ce who was looking for him.He patted A Fei on the shoulder, indicating that A Fei was going back, and A Fei got up.

A Fei walked side by side with him when he came, but now, A Fei is only willing to follow behind him.

Zhou Ce didn't wait until Pei Zhaoxue came back during dinner. He didn't ask what Pei Zhaoxue was doing, and he didn't talk too much during the meal. After dinner, he asked Pei Zhaoxue to go with him to the study.He lit a cigarette and handed it to Pei Zhaoxue. Pei Zhaoxue shook his head. He didn't want to smoke, and he didn't put it out, so he just put the cigarette on the edge of the table.Only then did he ask how the meeting between Pei Zhaoxue and Zhang Wenjie was going. Before Pei Zhaoxue answered, he asked Zhang Wenjie if he had found Zhou Ce.

This question made Zhou Ce laugh. Pei Zhaoxue knew his style so well that he could even guess that Zhang Wenjie went to him first.Zhou Ce changed his posture and sat on the sofa, lightly touching the fingers of his hands together, as if he was thinking.After a while, he said to Pei Zhaoxue: "Your price is very aggressive, and the risk is also very high."

Pei Zhaoxue said: "Risks and benefits coexist."

"Do you think I will stop you?" Zhou Ce said, "I want you to be careful. Don't look at Wen Jie's foolishness. His identity and position are hard to say."

During the conversation, the cigarette was half burned, Zhou Ce lit the cigarette butt, and handed it to Pei Zhaoxue again, this time, Pei Zhaoxue took it and bit it between his lips lightly.

"A Xue, this business is up to you." Zhou Ce said, "I just don't listen to what Wen Jie tells me."

Pei Zhaoxue nodded.

A few days later, led by Liu Rui, Pei Zhaoxue invited people from other families to have a light meal.The Wang family is gone, and Lu Ai is Zhou Ce's wife. The main guests for this meal are actually the Jinbai family.

As early as in the previous cooperation, Jin Rongda has established a relatively deep relationship with the Zhou family. Zhou Ce has given the Jin family a lot of benefits. If he acts as a joint chamber of commerce in the future, Jin Rongda will support Zhou Ce.The Bai family was different. They had always been on the side of the Wang family. After the fall of the Wang family, although there was no apparent conflict with Zhou Ce, they had always belonged to a state of "reclusive". What intersection.

However, they had no objection to Zhou Ce's taking over the business of the Wang family. If they could get a share, they would share it.Everyone thought that the relationship between the Zhou and Bai families that was not put on the surface would continue to be deadlocked, but they did not expect that the head of the Bai family suddenly passed away, and the family was in chaos. His younger brother had to take over the position temporarily, and everything seemed very cramped .

At that time, Zhou Ce saw the situation and joked with Pei Zhaoxue that the death of the Bai family must have been normal. No one thought of it, otherwise the family would not be so chaotic.

However, the members of the Bai family were not disturbed after all. Bai Zhengqing had already been deeply involved in the family affairs, but he was a bit hesitant when he first took over. The miscellaneous matters were almost handled, and the situation stabilized.The most important thing before him now is to deal with the relationship with the Zhou family.

His eldest brother has a deep relationship with the Wang family, and his personality tends to be conservative. Although he won't break his face with Zhou Ce, he is quite shameless for Zhou Ce's behavior.Although Bai Zhengqing agrees with his eldest brother, he believes that there are flexibility in everything, and there is no need to divide the relationship between them too clearly.

Zhang Wenjie gave these families permission long before the meeting with Pei Zhaoxue, and Bai Zhengqing had some guesses in his heart. It just so happened that Pei Zhaoxue invited him to dinner this time, and he happened to take over the step.

He thought that Pei Zhaoxue was delivering a message for Zhou Ce, and when he came, he saw Pei Zhaoxue sitting alone in the chief seat, and Jin Rongda sat on the side, and he muttered.He knew that Pei Zhaoxue had quite a status in the Zhou family, and that Zhou Ce was able to succeed in taking the position, thanks to Pei Zhaoxue's contribution.But the problem is that what they want to talk about is very important to the Zhou family and even the whole Lucheng. Zhou Ce let Pei Zhaoxue come alone, is it not important?

Bai Zhengqing secretly slandered, his face was calm, he looked at Jin Rongda, Jin Rongda seemed not too satisfied with today's light dinner.

Pei Zhaoxue is not as roundabout as Zhou Ce when talking about things. Even if it is a relatively relaxed meal, he likes to explain things clearly one by one.Of course, his frankness does not mean that everything is said to the outside world. He has his own words, a few simple sentences, which cannot be doubted.

Jin Rongda sighed, and said to Pei Zhaoxue: "Zhaoxue, your Zhou family took the lead to discuss this matter with Zhang Wenjie. Our opinions are not really important. Besides, people don't fight with officials, even if they are only willing to give money Yicheng, do your Zhou family dare to challenge you?"

"It's because they didn't dare." Pei Zhaoxue said, "We have to talk about everything else."

Jin Rongda teased: "What a big tone, did Zhou Ce say that?"

Pei Zhaoxue looked up at Jin Rongda, his eyes were indifferent, but Jin Rongda felt a different kind of irony, as if Pei Zhaoxue gave him a white look.Bai Zhengqing, who had been silent all this time, said at this time: "Little Pei, don't hide it. I don't know Zhou Ce very well, and I haven't met him a few times. If I think wrong, how bad is it?"

He and Jin Rongda had the same attitude, he didn't buy Pei Zhaoxue's account very much, but he was afraid of Zhou Ce behind Pei Zhaoxue.If Pei Zhaoxue can't explain why today, he can continue to sit on the sidelines.After so many years of ups and downs in Lucheng, their Bai family is definitely not the one to lead the limelight, but it is definitely the most stable one among the many forces.

Pei Zhaoxue also knew what the two of them were thinking, so he "coughed" lightly and sat upright.Although it was a round table, the positions of the three people formed a triangle. He looked left and right at Jin Rongda and Bai Zhengqing, with the calm expression and no emotion in his eyes.

"I said it." Pei Zhaoxue said calmly, "You two don't need to speculate too much. Since I said it, then you must do it."

Jin Rongda said: "It's easy to say, what capital do you have to talk to them?"

Pei Zhaoxue said, "Secret."

"Secret?" Jin Rongda sneered, "Co-authoring means that there is nothing, and you are here to play tricks? Pei Zhaoxue, are you treating us like three-year-olds?"

Pei Zhaoxue was not annoyed, and continued: "The secret I'm talking about is the secret itself. You can also understand it as a kind of information. The Zhou family is in this position and knows more information than you and them. If you are not three A child at the age of [-] should understand this truth, right?"

Bai Zhengqing and Jin Rongda looked at each other after hearing Pei Zhaoxue's words, and they seemed to be thinking about the meaning of these words.If you want to pursue money and rights, you must first know the method, just like opening a lock requires the corresponding key. Some people also call this "first opportunity".They didn't know what unknown information the Zhou family had, but they were able to take over from the Wang family and revitalize the whole thing in such a short period of time, so there was naturally some insider information.Since Pei Zhaoxue dared to speak out, she must have come prepared.

None of them spoke, and the dinner table fell silent.Pei Zhaoxue ignored them, took a bite of food with her chopsticks, and ate normally.At this time, Jin Rongda said: "You have to talk about it in detail, too?"

"You don't have to choose." After eating, Pei Zhaoxue put the chopsticks together, with the tip of the chopsticks facing the table. When he exerted force on his wrist, the chopsticks were firmly nailed into the wooden table.

There was not much sound when the wood touched the wood, but Jin Rongda and Bai Zhengqing saw how deep the chopsticks penetrated the wood. Although they didn't show too much shock, their expressions and eyes changed for a moment.Pei Zhaoxue wiped her mouth, took out a cigarette case from her pocket, tapped it casually, and took out a cigarette.The cigarette case was thrown on the table, and he held the cigarette between his fingers, with the cigarette holder facing down, lighting the cigarette case rhythmically, and said casually: "We are only one step away, within one step, I am faster than a gun. So, don't think too much about it." things."

Pei Zhaoxue's eyes flicked left and right, and each glanced at Jin Rongda and Bai Zhengqing. The two sat there without moving, watching Pei Zhaoxue light up his cigarette butts, feeling a little oppressed.

Suddenly someone knocked on the door. Although Pei Zhaoxue didn't know who it was, there were quite a few of his people outside. Since he let someone in, it wouldn't be a big deal.He tensed his body without showing any trace, with the cigarette still in his hand, and said, "Come in."

The door opened, Jin Rongda and Bai Zhengqing turned their heads at the same time, and saw Zhou Ce walking in with a smile.

"How are you eating?" Zhou Ce said, "I passed by after the meeting, and I thought you were still here, so I came to have a look and grab lunch." He said, his eyes fell on Pei Zhaoxue who was standing upright On the chopsticks, and seeing him knocking on the cigarette butt, he showed a meaningful look.

Bai Zhengqing had hardly had any direct contact with Zhou Ce. Pei Zhaoxue's actions had given him a lot of thoughts, but when Zhou Ce suddenly appeared again, it was hard not to imagine what the two of them were doing.He planned to stay the same to deal with all changes, and he expected that these two people would not dare to make any outrageous actions in broad daylight, which would be of no benefit to anyone.

He looked at Jin Rongda, trying to read some information from Jin Rongda's expression, but after seeing Zhou Celai, Jin Rongda became very cautious, not at all the attitude that an elder should have.Bai Zhengqing could tell that Jin Rongda was afraid of Zhou Ce.

Pei Zhaoxue seemed unmoved by Zhou Ce's arrival, he even only glanced at Zhou Ce at the very beginning, and then ignored him like nothing.Zhou Ce sent someone to add a chair, and walked to Pei Zhaoxue, but the chair hadn't arrived yet, so he had to stand.Both Jinbai and Bai were older than him, so it was impossible to give up his seat to him, and Pei Zhaoxue sat in an even position, showing no intention of getting up.

After knocking on his cigarette for a long time, it seemed that he had finally knocked it down, and then he slowly bit it between his mouth.While touching the lighter, there was a sound of "cha", and a beam of flames lit up in front of Pei Zhaoxue.

Pei Zhaoxue looked up, and Zhou Ce bent over and lit him with a smile.He didn't refuse, and moved forward lightly, the cigarette lit up, and a puff of green mist came out of his mouth, and the hand holding the cigarette was casually placed on the table.

They are like this, so that others can't tell who is in the upper position and who is in the lower position, and it just makes people mutter around.Fortunately, Zhou Ce's chair was delivered, and he sat down next to Pei Zhaoxue. He was not polite, and ate after adding a pair of bowls and chopsticks, as if he was really hungry.
