Sober Tonight [Rebirth]

Cen Moxiao was originally angry, but was immediately amused by Lu Zijin's words.

"I remember you said on the day you got married that he was a good rank, and he was remarkable. It seems that you saw through him early on."

Lu Zijin just smiled and glanced at Cen Moxiao and didn't say anything. What could she say? The reason she was able to recognize Li Yuan clearly was largely because she was too familiar with these methods.Cen Moxiao actually knew it in his heart.

On the way back, the two sat in the car in silence.Lu Zijin found that he and Cen Moxiao were in a similar state, and they were able to deal with each other with ease, but after the hustle and bustle ended, they felt that they lacked interest and didn't want to say anything.

In fact, it wasn't that Cen Moxiao didn't want to talk to Lu Zijin, but was thinking about Li Qisheng.His words today not only brought back her dusty memories, but also brought back some guilt in her heart.

It seems that during this period of time she was too immersed in her hatred for Li Yuan and ignored him.Even... Thinking of the car accident that Lin Mu was investigating, her heart suddenly turned cold, and she suddenly felt that she was too preposterous.Could it be that my trust has been broken to such an extent that she hurt her grandfather, will the next one also hurt her father?

This feeling was too uncomfortable, and made Cen Moxiao feel a little tired and silent all the way.

Lu Zijin didn't bother her either. After returning, the two went back to their own rooms. Although the two of them were still in a state of cold war at home, in their hearts, both Lu Zijin and Cen Moxiao had already felt that since those embarrassing intimacy happened, After that, the two got closer invisibly.

In the evening, Cen Moxiao drank a glass of milk as usual, looking at the cup by his hand, Cen Moxiao was a little dazed.In fact, she would drink a glass of oatmeal with milk during the day and not pure milk at night.

Ever since Lu Zijin delivered milk to her that night, she would heat up an extra glass of milk and bring it to her every night, except for the "cold war" that never stopped these few days.Strangely, Cen Moxiao felt that Lu Zijin's hot milk tasted better, so she developed this habit after a few months.

Cen Moxiao stared at the milk in a daze, the computer beeped, and glanced at the lower right corner to see that the mail had arrived, and at the same time the WeChat message was also posted.

Miss, something has been sent to the mailbox, please check it.

This is the private investigator Lin Mu found to investigate the car accident that year. Cen Moxiao's heart beat suddenly quickened, his fingers felt a little cold, and he wanted to ask the result directly but didn't dare.

Even when she picked up the mouse with her right hand, she trembled a little, and she opened the email after a few mental preparations. During this time, she felt that the time was clicked by 0.5 times the speed, which was extremely long.

Finally, she saw clearly the investigation report above, and she quickly browsed through it, but she felt that she didn’t understand the words on it, and the information couldn’t get into her mind, until she saw the conclusion: the car was in good condition and there was no abnormality.

The result was the same as the result given by Li Qisheng back then!

Cen Moxiao felt like she was drowning in the deep water, and was finally dragged up and was able to breathe heavily.Leaning back on the chair as if exhausted, she murmured, "That's great." A tear rolled down from the corner of her eye, which was enough.Even though she was ashamed of her groundless suspicion at this moment, she was more happy.

Probably because I have seen too many dirty things, so I doubt her father.The most worrying thing in my heart was resolved, and Cen Moxiao finally relaxed a little.

Because they returned home, the two of them no longer needed to act, Lu Zijin was so happy.After all, the company has pretended enough. When she came back to face Cen Moxiao, although the two of them had their own thoughts, she still felt that getting along with Cen Moxiao was quite comfortable most of the time. Mo Xiao tempted, yes, Cen Mo Xiao is a bit dangerous to her now.

But whether it is to use her intellectually or appreciate her emotionally, she has to be close to her, which is really a bit bad.In two years, hurry up... She thought that they would be over after two years, but that also meant that Cen Moxiao would die.

Lu Zijin suddenly shook her head, with mixed feelings in her heart.

Lu Zijin hid this thought in her heart, forcing herself not to think about it, she had to continue with her plan.

A week later, Xiao Qing called her again.

"Zi Jin, is it convenient?" Xiao Qing's tone was serious than usual.

Lu Zijin frowned slightly: "It's convenient, you say."

"Things have changed. There are still people in contact with KB Technology. I have contacted the person in charge of the company three days ago. Through this contact, the other party is willing to do one-on-one transactions with us, but after only two days, KB Technology suddenly Changed his mind and decided to open the bidding."

Lu Zijin frowned even tighter, subconsciously said: "Why? Is the price we gave too low?"

"We evaluated that company early in the morning, and the acquisition price and employee treatment measures we gave were completely better than its current market evaluation price. And what I tried that day was only higher than their expectations. Now I suddenly changed my mind. There is only one possibility, that someone also took a fancy to KB Technology and offered a higher price than us.”

Xiao Qing couldn't figure it out, Lu Zijin's willingness to pay such a high price was already beyond Xiao Qing's expectations, how could anyone be willing to pay such a high price to acquire a small and medium-sized enterprise that failed to start a business.Moreover, counting the foreign debts owed, even Xiao Qing felt that it was a loss-making business for the price they offered.

Lu Zijin's eyes darkened, it shouldn't have happened.She knew that the company that bought KB Technology at the beginning would not be able to offer this price this year.She didn't speak, and pointed her fingers at the table.Could it be that it is fate that this opportunity does not belong to her, and it is useless to get there first?

"Zi Jin?"

"I'm here, like this. First agree to participate in the bidding, and then immediately find someone to find out which group wants to win KB Technology. You must find out their details, and it is best to get their quotation." After finishing speaking, she continued He warned: "Don't be in a hurry, so as not to make them feel that we have to, but if I can, I don't want to let go of this opportunity. The upper limit I can give is [-]% more."

"Thirty percent?" Xiao Qing was a little surprised, but she was a little serious: "Zi Jin, are you sure?"

Lu Zijin took a deep breath: "Sure. The profit of real estate has reached its peak, and it is impossible to imagine it as it was a few years ago. Transformation is necessary."

Xiao Qing was silent for a moment, then nodded.

After hanging up the phone, Lu Zijin was unusually agitated. She knew that there might be people who would also like KB Technology, but she didn't expect that someone would increase the price.Could it be that I was too eager for quick success, and the high price has attracted the attention of investors?

Lu Zijin didn't continue to worry about it, the incident had already happened, and even if she found the reason, it would not help. She should focus on that opponent and think about how to deal with it.

As if it was an appointment, apart from Lu Zijin being busy these days, Cen Moxiao seems to be busy too.The two of them would chat at the dinner table for a while when they were eating, and then they would each go back to their rooms. The only contact they had was that Lu Zijin would deliver the milk to Cen Moxiao on time before nine o'clock.

Xiao Qing is ready to participate in the public bidding. In fact, most domestic companies conduct one-to-one transactions, and public bidding is often a formality and not completely open.

Lu Zijin actually thinks that KB Technology is a bit overreaching. At present, only companies that have attracted wide attention will choose public bidding. Because they have capital, they expect to get a good price.

However, the public bidding process and procedures are very cumbersome. For KB Technology, which is already at the end of the road, if there is a little mistake, it is likely to be completely over.

Although Lu Zijin is optimistic about it, she is very clear that their current state will not be able to become a technology company in the future, but she wants those research and development foundations, so she will not really pay too much for it.

Right now, she has received the preliminary promotion materials transferred by Xiao Qing, which are some documents with little information drafted by the financial consultant of KB Technology Company based on the target business situation and financial information.The purpose is to distribute to many potential acquirers, in order to achieve the purpose of informing the sale intention and attracting each other.

The presentation material is short and concise, no more than two pages.The amount of information is limited, and Lu Zijin didn't do too much research. She knows far more than this.

Lu Zijin called Xiao Qing back, "Xiao Qing, I've read the promotional materials, have they given us the first round of bidding documents and process documents?"

"Not yet. A non-disclosure agreement needs to be signed. Before that, I wondered if we were in a hurry, so I wanted to take it easy."

Lu Zijin pondered for a while: "You're right. I don't think the other company is a fool, and it's probably also engaged in psychological warfare. Wait, wait until KB Technology can't hold back and find you. But the letter of intent for bidding can be drafted. If we participate , the first round of bidding is 15.00% lower than the original price!"

"Surrender?" Xiao Qing was a little surprised.

"Yes, our bid is already high enough. It's only the first round. Let him wake up and weigh his own value." His tone was already a little cold.

"Have you found out about that company?" Lu Zijin couldn't help asking, thinking of the opponent who was a little bit more ruthless than her.

"I found out. That company is also a design company called Xinyue Group. It has been established for more than ten years. The company's assets are less than one billion yuan. It is not a big company. But in the past year , invested in a few real estate projects, and the momentum immediately changed. I don’t know why they suddenly joined a technology company, which has nothing to do with their main business.” Xiao Qing still felt incredible, and said casually: “Why do you feel very close to us? Like it."

Lu Zijin was taken aback when he heard that, it was true.Few people could understand my own decision, how could I meet someone who didn't play cards according to common sense.

"Can I contact the person in charge over there?" Lu Zijin asked after thinking about it.

Xiao Qing was a little surprised: "Do you want to talk to the other party?"

"Be prepared, let's watch the first round of bidding first. I have to see if he is really astute, or just a fool." Lu Zijin became a little competitive, and her voice changed from the original deep voice to a little brighter.

After making the phone call, Lu Zijin checked the time, it was 05:30 in the afternoon.I made an appointment with a client today, and the dinner at 06:30 is estimated to be ready to go.After explaining to Gan Wei what to prepare for tomorrow, Lu Zijin went out with her coat.

When he walked to the door, he thought about it and sent a voice message to Cen Moxiao.

"I have an appointment with a client tonight, so I won't be going back for dinner."

This time Cen Moxiao returned very slowly, and did not receive her news until Lu Zijin arrived at the appointed place.

Cen Moxiao: Do ​​you want a drink?

Lu Zijin looked at the four words above, and stopped at the door of the clubhouse.The finger landed on the input box, but did not type.No one knew what she was thinking after seeing these four words.

Cen Moxiao: Eat something before drinking, drink less.

Lu Zijin's throat twitched, and only then did she reply to the message without making a sound.

Lu Zijin: Yes.

Cen Moxiao: What time does it end?

Lu Zijin: This client is notoriously difficult, so it should be after nine o'clock.

Cen Moxiao: Oh

Lu Zijin stared at this, and suddenly felt a little uncomfortable in her heart. A simple answer was obviously normal, but there was a sense of indifference.

After putting away the phone, Lu Zijin spurned herself, so what if she was indifferent.

It wasn't her alone who came to this dinner, but also another colleague from the department, but the other party was not good at dealing with such old fritters.And persuading women to drink seems to be the biggest hobby of men with legitimate reasons, let alone a beautiful woman like Lu Zijin who is enough to arouse men's desire to conquer.So talking about business has become an accompaniment to wine.

Lu Zijin didn't know how many times she had to deal with this kind of situation. After a few rounds, how much she drank, the other party drank twice as much, and the colleague who wanted to share for her was already drunk.

When he was full of wine and food, and drunk, the vice president of the other party grabbed Lu Zijin's hand with his fat big hand, and said with his tongue out, "I really, really... admire Director Lu very much. How many women have I met over the years?" , there has never been anyone like you, beautiful and talented like you. It's a pity...it's a pity that you married a woman, if...if you didn't marry, I... hiccup"

Lu Zijin struggled a few times, but the opponent's hand was strong, and he grabbed it tightly, getting closer and closer, the smell of alcohol or cigarettes made people feel disgusted.

"Mr. Qin, you are serious. If you want to talk about talent, Mr. Qin is the pillar of the Fantawild Group. Who doesn't know that you turned the tide and kept Fangte. Come on, let me toast you again. The plan is that you and Assistant Fang should be together. I am very satisfied and hope that we can cooperate happily.”

Satisfied by Lu Zijin's praise, he took the cup and drank it down in one gulp. Then Lu Zijin withdrew his hand and moved a little away from him.

After signing the contract and looking for someone to take them back to the hotel, Lu Zijin stood alone at the door and blew the wind for a long time. She smelled of alcohol, and the smell of cigarettes just now mixed together, which made Lu Zijin feel nauseous.

Cars pass by on the road outside, street lamps stand quietly, neon lights on high-rise buildings are dazzling, houses are farther away, well-lit, and some are still dark, not all houses are brightly lit.

Lu Zijin hugged her arms, she felt a little cold.

Just when she woke up a little bit and was about to call a substitute driver.

A familiar voice came from the left.

"Is it a little cold?"

She froze for a moment and turned her head.

Cen Moxiao was standing under the streetlight in the square at the entrance of the clubhouse, with his hands in the pockets of his windbreaker, watching her quietly.The light from the street lamp fell on her eyes, bringing a little bit of starlight.At this moment, Cen Moxiao seemed to be standing in the spotlight, but it was not dazzling.

Lu Zijin didn't know why she thought of the fireflies in the summer yard when she was young, she thought it was the gentlest light in the darkness.

The same is true of Cen Moxiao now.
