Sole decision

"This..." Bai Zhengqing said, "Now that the funds are in place, aren't you really joking if you ask me not to sign at this time?" He felt that Pei Zhaoxue is not the kind of person who talks nonsense, and there must be something strange about it, so he calmed down , "Zhaoxue, you have to explain it to me clearly."

Unexpectedly, Pei Zhaoxue didn't explain any reason at all, but just said to Bai Zhengqing, "I won't treat you badly." This sentence made Bai Zhengqing think, whether it was Pei Zhaoxue's meaning or Zhou Ce's meaning.The contract needs to be jointly signed by several companies to take effect. If it has been delayed, it will be quite dangerous for the funds to be stuck there. Even if the Zhou family has a strong background, they can't help but toss about it. This will not be of any benefit to the Zhou family.

So at this time, what is Pei Zhaoxue planning for making this request?

"And." Pei Zhaoxue said flatly, "You don't have the choice to refuse either."

"Zhaoxue." Bai Zhengqing said, "It's boring to play a trick twice." He clapped his hands, and there were footsteps at the door, and all the people he brought came in.Pei Zhaoxue was not flustered at all, and saw that those people did not stand beside Bai Zhengqing, but passed Bai Zhengqing and came behind Pei Zhaoxue.

Pei Zhaoxue asked, "What did you just say?"

Bai Zhengqing never thought that the plot would take such a sudden turn, and after thinking about it, he realized that his surroundings had already been infiltrated.In other words, when Pei Zhaoxue wanted to cooperate, the foreshadowing had already been laid.With such a scene in front of him, where did Pei Zhaoxue's hand touch in the entire Bai family, or in other families?

It turned out that he had no choice to refuse, and it turned out to be the case!

Now that the matter has come to this point, Bai Zhengqing has no room left. He relaxes and smiles in relief.

"I always keep my word and never break my word." Pei Zhaoxue repeated, "I will not treat you badly."

Bai Zhengqing nodded.

On the day when the contract was signed, all parties were present, and even Zhou Ce also came because the amount involved was huge.Everyone sat around a table, Jin Rongda chatted and laughed, and the atmosphere was quite lively.It's just that Bai Zhengqing was nowhere to be seen at the appointed time. Zhang Wenjie looked around and asked, "Where are the people from the Bai family?"

Pei Zhaoxue looked towards the door, when someone came in to report that Bai Zhengqing was not feeling well today and could not come.After hearing this, Zhang Wenjie said angrily: "How uncomfortable is it that people can't come? Did he die of illness? Doesn't he know how important today's business is?" He yelled a few times, and the messenger couldn't pick him up If you talk, everyone can only stare.Zhang Wenjie said: "As long as he is not dead, he must be carried by me!"

He waved the man to go to work. After the man left, several people in the room looked at each other.Jin Rongda said first, "What's the matter with this old man? He lost the chain at a critical moment. Doesn't this make people anxious?"

Lu Ai smiled: "Oh, wait an extra minute without losing a piece of meat, so wait a little longer."

Liu Rui said: "Old Jin, have a sip of tea first, and don't be impatient."

Pei Zhaoxue kept silent, but he could feel that someone was looking at him, and the gaze came from Zhou Ce.Zhou Ce was sitting on the side of him, across from Lu Ai, but Zhou Ce's eyes were not too direct, he just glanced at Pei Zhaoxue lightly, seeing that Pei Zhaoxue still had that expressionless face, not a bit concerned about the current situation As if wanting to express his opinion, Zhou Ce also looked at the development of the situation and didn't say much.

After a while, the man came back, shook his head as soon as he entered the door, and said that he saw Bai Zhengqing himself, and he was really too sick to get out of bed, and he didn't know what happened.

"This..." Faced with this situation, Zhang Wenjie seemed to have nothing to do. He looked at the others and said, "It seems that today is really not going to happen."

"How can this work?" Jin Rongda shouted, "Old Bai said he would fall, without even a sign, which is too strange. Not to mention anything else, the contract card cannot be signed here, and the goods cannot be shipped. The money is thrown in How much will be lost in one day? Is it because of Bai Zhengqing that everyone is here waiting to burn money? Is there no one else in their Bai family?"

He said a long paragraph like a machine gun, and Lu Ai Anan said to him: "Uncle Jin, what you said is out of line. We all work together to do business, who is not throwing money in it? I want to compensate everyone Compensation, it's not just your Jin family that suffers."

"It's easy for you to say." Jin Rongda said, "Zhou Lu is a family, so of course you don't rush."

Both Liu Rui and Zhou Ce had been staring at Jin Rongda, and then they looked at each other, as if they both noticed something unusual about Jin Rongda.Although there are indeed some exceptions now, Jin Rongda is not a person who has not experienced changes, so there is no reason for such a big reaction now.

Zhang Wenjie also noticed something strange, and said: "I can't sign the contract today anyway, and I don't know when Bai Zhengqing will recover. Let's think of other solutions."

Jin Rongda said: "I think he has a ghost in his heart!"

Zhou Ce gently supported his chin with one hand, and asked, "What did you say?"

"Of course you know what I'm talking about." Jin Rongda stood up and said, "Anyway, if we can't sign today, everyone will suffer a loss. I want to see when Bai Zhengqing will recover. Or..." He smiled a little bit Ruthlessly, "It will never get better." After he finished speaking, he stopped accompanying him, and left with a wave of his sleeves.

Zhang Wenjie didn't stop Jin Rongda, he frowned and glanced at everyone.

The news from the Bai family has always been that Bai Zhengqing is sick and resting and sees no guests. The Bai family does not write and sign, and everyone is stuck in the same place.Several families are burning money to fill the holes, and money seems not to be the focus of the problem at this time, but the production and transportation plans of the goods have been seriously hindered.

If the money is not released, production cannot be carried out, and everything that follows is like empty talk.If a progress is delayed, there will be a domino effect, and a series of subsequent plans will be stranded.

This is the most damaging thing for the whole project.

The least worried person here is actually Zhang Wenjie. Although he conceded a step when negotiating with Pei Zhaoxue, the Lucheng officials represented by him did not have any substantial financial investment. They were all exchanged for equivalent resources.Resources, if they are valuable, are gold and silver mountains, and if they are worthless, they can be regarded as air.

And it is about to enter the financial liquidation of this quarter. The money for the project has not been returned, but the income tax has to be paid, which is another expensive expense.

Although these families are giants in Lucheng, no matter how big they are, they still need to rely on flowing blood to survive.Cash flow is their blood. Now that there is a problem, some people can't sit still anymore.

Jin Rongda used the convenience of transportation at his disposal to secretly transport a batch of goods back from overseas bases, intending to smuggle them to other places.This incident was learned by Zhou Ce, and he sent someone to rob the other party.Angrily, Jin Rongda came to Zhou's house to ask Zhou Ce to explain, but Zhou Ce's expression was as usual, and he listened to Jin Rongda's scolding, but ignored him.

"Zhou Ce, don't think that I don't know about the good deeds you guys did!" Jin Rongda said, "It was the Bai family who killed Pei Zhaoxue that day, why did you drag him into the water when you made him Bai Zhengqing? I know your ambition Not small, do you want to annex the whole of Lucheng? But look at the current situation, what benefits can you get if you hurt the enemy one thousand and yourself lose eight hundred?"

Zhou Ce's expression obviously changed after hearing an important message from Jin Rongda. He felt strange, but he didn't ask Jin Rongda directly, but said: "It's the Bai family who hurt Axue. You don't even know about this matter." Do you know?"

"Pei Zhaoxue said it himself." Jin Rongda said, "Zhou Ce, do you hate the Bai family for standing in the team of the Wang family? Find a reason to tear down the Bai family too?"

"How do you know?" Zhou Ce suddenly smiled at Jin Rongda. This smile was hidden in half of the shadow, which looked a little scary, "If possible, there is no need for the Jin family to stay. After all, I hate people who talk too much."

"You...you!" Jin Rongda was forced to take a few steps back, and hurriedly looked around, but no one rushed in, and no accident happened.Seeing his embarrassment, Zhou Ce laughed and said, "Don't worry, I don't want to kill you now. If you are willing to wait, everything will have an answer. If you don't wait, I can't guarantee that something will happen. Good. Uncle Jin , there are some truths you should understand, right? Well, you go back and rest like Bai Zhengqing for a few days, don’t come out for now, lest..." He took a step forward, approached Jin Rongda, and said in a low voice, "Splattered with blood."

Jin Rongda was terribly frightened by Zhou Ce, and left Zhou's house in a panic. He didn't go out for a few days, and never mentioned the loss of money again.

The matter did not calm down because of this, the anxious atmosphere enveloped the entire Lucheng, not only the financial pressure, but now even the official pressure of Lucheng was exerted, Pei Zhaoxue went out frequently, and even Zhou Ce had to go out at this time. Come out, there is usually no one at home.

Zhou Ran is on vacation, he loves to cling to Pei Zhaoxue, Pei Zhaoxue is not here, it can only be that Lu Ai has time to accompany him.Zhou Ce simply asked Lu Ai to take Zhou Ran out on vacation, so as not to upset everyone here.

On the day Lu Ai took Zhou Ran away from Lucheng, Zhou Ce personally went to the airport to see them off. On the eve of parting, he knelt down and said to Zhou Ran: "You can't cause trouble for my aunt when you are playing outside, you understand?"

Zhou Ran nodded vigorously.

Zhou Ce got up and looked directly at Lu Ai. He opened his arms and hugged Lu Ai vigorously, and said to Lu Ai in a low voice: "It's fun outside, I have everything at home, so don't worry about it."

Lu Ai nodded, with a serious expression on his face, he didn't look like someone who was going on a trip at all.Looking at the two of them, Zhou Ran seemed to sense something different, pulled Zhou Ce's sleeve and said, "Uncle, why don't you go play with us?"

"Uncle still has work."

"Then I'll bring a gift for my uncle." Zhou Ran said, "Uncle, I will miss you and Uncle Pei."

"Yeah." Zhou Ce stroked Zhou Ran's hair, "When the vacation is over, you will come back, and then you will be able to see my uncle again."
