my lord lord

It was night, the night was as cool as water, and the moonlight was as white as frost.

When she was bored, Wei Zhi put on the furry cloak that Pei Shu prepared for her, and strolled in the courtyard.

Today's Wei Mansion already looks empty, not to mention that no one lives there, even some valuable belongings have been moved by Wei Zhi, and there is not much left, which clearly means deserted.

Wei Zhi walked around the courtyard with a lot of emotion, and finally came under the century-old sycamore tree.She thought that about two months ago, she was under this tree lamenting her departure from home, and for the first time she had the slightest affection for Pei Shu.

The wonder of life lies in its unpredictability, and it is this unpredictability that is the foundation of hope.

Wei Zhi never in his life thought that one day he would fall headfirst into a woman's arms, and at such a fast speed, he would throw away his helmet and armor against her and become a subordinate.

At this time, the leaves of the sycamore tree have all fallen, and some dead leaves are left on the ground, adding layers of desolation to the autumn night.

Wei Zhi bent down to pick up a piece, sat on the stone bench he sat on two months ago, put his arms on the stone table, and turned the golden piece in his hand.A smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, she raised her head to look at the clear full moon in the night sky, she had entrusted her longing heart to it, and hoped that it could bring her fiery heart to that person's side.

I don't know if she fell asleep or not?

Thinking about it, Wei Zhi couldn't help shaking his head and smiling wryly, mocking himself: "Where did you go, and you started to miss her? I don't know if people miss you! Wei Ziqing, Wei Ziqing, you are really worthless!"

Wei Zhi sighed helplessly, put the dead leaves on the stone table, turned around and went back to his room to rest.

On the second day, after Wei Zhi washed up and had breakfast, he went to the bank.

Early in the morning, there were not many people in the bank, only a few people came to handle business.

Wei Zhi followed Uncle Niu to the office on the second floor. During her absence, Uncle Niu was always helping to manage the bank.When his father was alive, Uncle Niu was his right-hand man. Now that Wei Zhi has taken over the bank, he still trusts Uncle Niu.

"I haven't seen you in two months. The owner's complexion has improved a lot." Uncle Niu looked at Wei Zhi with his kind and friendly eyes. He seemed to have watched Wei Zhi grow up and always treated her as his own child.

"That's right, people feel refreshed on happy occasions." Xiao Nian poured a cup of hot tea for Wei Zhi, and then said with a smile, "Uncle Niu, you don't know that our owner's life is prosperous, not only the beauties I am in my arms, and I am on the rise!"

"That's right!" Uncle Niu responded with a sense of face, "Oh, if I hadn't been in poor health at the time, I would have to attend the owner's wedding."

"It doesn't matter. Uncle Niu was in poor health at the time. It was a last resort. I understand what you mean." Wei Zhi didn't mean to be dissatisfied, and even cared about Uncle Niu's physical condition, "How is your health recently?"

"Okay, it's tough, the owner doesn't have to worry about it." Uncle Niu deliberately patted his chest in order to prove the truth of his words.

"That's good." Wei Zhi felt relieved, "When I'm not here, all the big and small affairs of the bank will fall on you. The pressure is really not small. You must pay attention to your health. For those small and trivial matters, leave them to your subordinates Just do it, don’t do everything yourself.”

Uncle Niu is over fifty years old, Wei Zhi is still more worried about his health.

"The owner, don't worry, I know it!" Uncle Niu responded forcefully to Wei Zhi with gratitude.

"In the future, the semicolon here in Chu County will still rely on you. You have worked so hard." Wei Zhiyu instructed earnestly.

"The owner can rest assured that I will take care of this place, and I will do my best." Uncle Niu said full of ambition, with sharp eyes shining from his vicissitudes of life.

Wei Zhi was naturally relieved, but she was thinking in her heart that she needed to train a few young confidants in order to reduce the burden on Uncle Niu.

Shifting the focus of bank development is not a trivial matter. It involves the distribution and circulation of funds, as well as the impact on the development of existing banks, so it needs to be done carefully.

Wei Zhi sat on the second floor of the bank and thought about it for a long time.If she transports most of the funds to Luzhou, there will be a lot of pressure on the capital turnover of Chu County in Chu County, and the pressure of competition is not small now. In case of vicious competition, the distant water cannot save the nearby fire, which is very likely is a fatal problem.

But if there is insufficient funds to transport to Luzhou, it will not be enough to gain a firm foothold there.Even if her backer is Prince Ye, she can't reach out and ask him for money.

After much deliberation, Wei Zhi came up with a solution, which was to form an alliance and take a win-win approach.

In Chu County, the largest bank is the Tongyuan bank of the Wei family, followed by the Qizhong bank of the Liu family in the east of the city.Although Qizhong's strength and influence are far inferior to Tongyuan's, as far as Chu County is concerned, it is still a relatively solid family, but it has begun to decline in recent years.

Qizhong's previous head was bedridden due to illness, and the current head of the family is the young master of the Liu family, Liu Xuanhao.This person is sixteen years old, a fledgling, and has not long been in power, and he is more or less ready. Many people in the clan are eyeing him, and he is under a lot of pressure when he is in danger.

Overall, Qizhong is a very suitable partner.

Therefore, Wei Zhi sent Xiao Nian to the Liu Mansion to deliver the invitation letter.

Liu Xuanhao was also a straightforward person, so he agreed on the spot to meet at Zuixianlou at noon.

One day, Wei Zhi, as a show of sincerity, waited in the box for Liu Xuanhao's arrival early.

Wei Zhi met Liu Xuanhao at a business banquet in Chu County a few years ago, when they were both young, Wei Zhi's impression of Liu Xuanhao was that he was small and taciturn.

You must know that Wei Zhi is a girl, but Liu Xuanhao, as a boy, was not as tall as Wei Zhi at that time, and was thinner and weaker, even more girlish than Wei Zhi.

Wei Zhi sat cross-legged on the cushion, drinking Longjing tea comfortably, looking around at the gorgeous and grand decoration in the private room with a lot of leisure.

Not long after, the door was pulled open.

Wei Zhi raised his eyes and saw a slender young man with delicate features. Liu Xuanhao was much stronger than when he first met him, at least he didn't look frail.

"Brother Liu, please sit down." Wei Zhihe got up kindly, invited Liu Xuanhao to take a seat, and served tea for him.

"Brother Wei, you're being polite." Liu Xuanhao said kindly, holding the teacup in both hands.

"Brother Liu is much more handsome than he was six years ago." Wei Zhi first gave a wave of compliments to establish a harmonious atmosphere for conversation.

"Uh... six years ago?" Liu Xuanhao obviously couldn't remember clearly.

"Yes, six years ago, at the business banquet in Chu County." Wei Zhi said guidingly, but seeing Liu Xuanhao's blank expression, he must have really lost his memory, "Oh, there were so many people at that time, You're still young, so it's normal that you don't remember seeing me."

Liu Xuanhao smiled ashamedly, "Brother Wei has a really good memory."

"It's not that I have a good memory, on the contrary, I have a poor memory. When it comes to that time, I just have a deep impression on you." Wei Zhi said it seriously, although it is true, but there is always some deliberate meaning "Brother Liu at that time had an immature face, clear eyes, and gentle and reticent words. At first glance, he was the kind of person with poetry and books in his stomach. I liked you very much at that time, and it may be because I am not good at reading, so I have even more admiration for you. At that time, I felt that Brother Liu would definitely be a great talent in the future."

Wei Zhi never needed to write a draft when he said this kind of thing, and he always blurted it out, and he just opened his mouth.

"Brother Wei, you are really flattering me. I'm not as good as you said." Although Liu Xuanhao was faintly proud in his heart, he couldn't hide his shame.

"Now that you are in charge of Qizhong Bank at a young age, isn't that outstanding?" Wei Zhi began to bring the conversation to the main topic.

"Although that's the case, it's not the case." Liu Xuanhao sighed, and took a sip of tea with a heavy heart.

Wei Zhi carefully observed Liu Xuanhao's expression while drinking tea, and said, "Maybe it's because you're under too much pressure?"

Liu Xuanhao's brows were heavy, and he gave a wry smile noncommittally.He originally wanted to wait for a few years before starting to take over the affairs of the bank, but unexpectedly his father fell ill suddenly, and he was ordered in danger, everything came unprepared.

"I felt the same way. Since I don't like reading, my father asked me to study business hard, so I started working in the bank at the age of 14. My father was very strict with me and asked me to learn very much. I was so tired that I wanted to give up." Wei Zhi said empathetically as he recalled.It's just that she exaggerated some of them, such as her father's strict requirements and her hard work. In fact, she was not as tired as she said. On the contrary, because she was very smart, she knew everything, and she was doted on by her father. It was also very enjoyable.

"It seems that everyone must have pressure." Liu Xuanhao summed up a truth.

"I mean." Wei Zhi echoed, "I'm not as stressed as you. I had my father to help me at the time, and my father was sick in bed, so all the pressure was on you alone. "

Liu Xuanhao's brows were even deeper, turning the teacup in his hands, his face full of sorrow is not an exaggeration.

Look, what a good child has been tortured!Wei Zhi is determined to be the child's savior.

"I don't know if I can live up to everyone's expectations!" Liu Xuanhao's voice revealed depression and bewilderment about the future.

"Of course you can, as long as you have the heart." Wei Zhi firmly affirmed Liu Xuanhao.

"I'm not confident myself, why does Brother Wei trust me so much?" Liu Xuanhao said with a wry smile as he looked at Wei Zhi who was in stark contrast to him.

"Let me tell you, I'm very accurate in judging people, I say you can do it if you can." Wei Zhi raised his eyebrows eagerly.

"Really..." Liu Xuanhao showed a hesitant expression again. He did intend to carry forward the enlightened people, but right now he is troubled internally and externally, and the problems left in front are already busy enough for him, and there are so many eyes on Himself, making him unable to sleep well every night.

"But you need someone to assist you." Wei Zhi said directly.

"Brother Wei, what do you mean by that?" Liu Xuanhao couldn't help leaning forward.

"You have just taken over Qizhong not long ago, so you must rely on your strength and achievements to stop Youyou's mouth and gain a firm foothold." Wei Zhi poured another cup of tea for Liu Xuanhao, showing an inscrutable smile.

"Brother Wei wants to say something, why not open the skylight and speak clearly." Liu Xuanhao was keenly aware of Wei Zhi's plot, otherwise he wouldn't have come to send an invitation letter suddenly for no reason.

Wei Zhi smiled slightly.It is said that people who study have good brains, but if Liu Xuanhao is a fool, he will naturally not be able to take over Qizhong.Now that the words are so obvious, Wei Zhi simply explained the words.

"You and I are two families in Chu County. We are colleagues and rivals at the same time. I am very aware of Qizhong's current situation." Wei Zhi crossed his hands and said with ease, "If the development goes well, Qizhong can continue. If it doesn't go well, it will probably be eliminated within three years at most."

Liu Xuanhao frowned, his nervousness made him narrow his eyes.It seems that Wei Zhi already knows them well.

"Brother Liu also knows that the competition in the industry is fierce nowadays, not to mention the great power of everyone, but the small families that have emerged should not be underestimated." Wei Zhi continued to talk.

"So?" Liu Xuanhu changed his posture, bent his elbows on his thighs, and asked Wei Zhi.

"The strong prey on the weak, the survival of the fittest has always been like this." Wei Zhi stared sharply at Liu Xuanhao's eyes.

Liu Xuanhao's eyes began to show hostility, and he subconsciously thought that Wei Zhi was going to attack him, and came to show him off.

"One's own power is limited after all, but if the strong join forces, peace can be maintained forever." Wei Zhi finally expressed his intention, and confidently believed that Liu Xuanhao had no reason not to agree.

"Brother Wei means to form an alliance with me?" Liu Xuanhao speculated.

"Smart." Wei Zhi snapped his fingers, raised one leg with confidence, put his left arm on his knee, and propped his right hand on the mat, "In this way, as the newly appointed head, you have both The right to speak, Qizhong has a strong partner again, and Tongyuan also has a business partner, this will be a great win-win decision.”

Liu Xuanhu's expression obviously eased a lot, his eyes told Wei Zhi that he was tempted by the temptation.

"As far as I know, Brother Wei can develop very well even if he doesn't cooperate with me, so why bother?" Liu Xuanhu was full of confusion about Wei Zhi's behavior, and didn't know what kind of medicine she was selling in her gourd.

"Although that's the case, no one wants to be safe, right?" Wei Zhi said calmly.Could it be possible to tell you that I am about to take away more than half of the bank's economic strength?

"Brother Liu, don't worry, Wei is definitely seeking cooperation sincerely. If you are not at ease, you can see how I treat you in the future." Wei Zhi tried to persuade him.

What Wei Zhi said was the truth.One more friend and one more way, and they are still friends with mutual interests.As the saying goes, friends are temporary, and interests are eternal. They just get what they need.Liu Xuanhao asked for a backer, and Wei Zhi ensured it was safe.If the Liuxuan name is unreliable in the future, and she has gained a firm foothold in Luzhou, she won't mind taking Qizhong under her command.

In short, Wei Zhi said a lot of good things and expressed a lot of sincerity that day, and finally got Liu Xuanhao's approval, and the cooperation between the two parties was finally confirmed.
