CH 68.1

In the secluded café, soothing jazz blues are played.

Qu Cheng buckled the phone, turned around and walked back to his seat, and pulled the corner of his mouth without smiling, “Sorry, I took a call.”

Xu Xinnian, who was sitting opposite, was a little cramped, hurriedly put down the coffee cup in his hand, shook his head and whispered, “It’s okay big brother Cheng, I know that your work is busy, today you are still willing to see me, I am already very satisfied.”

He wore a white sweater today, a loose circle of iron gray plaid scarves around his neck, his hair was soft and fluffy, although his eyes were a little haggard, but at a glance, it seemed as if he was still the original well-behaved and harmless young master of the Xu family, and he couldn’t see how many blows he had endured during this period of time.

Qu Cheng looked at his face, which was similar to Xu Cinian’s, and with his pretentious and meek face, he only felt that he had enough appetite, and even had some admiration for him in his heart.

Ordinary people are disfigured, their legs are crippled, and they really won’t be cheeky enough to make it look like they “killed” the object with their own hands, but Xu Xinnian not only did this, but also held Xu Cinian’s face, speaking low and weakly, making Qu Cheng really eager to tear off his face.

At that time, the car accident was still too soft-hearted, if he could hit it a little harder, it would be better to completely destroy his car and kill people.

Qu Cheng thought gloomily in his heart, but his face did not move, with a smile that did not reach the bottom of his eyes, he said, “Why do friends have to say such a foreign word when they meet, please eat something, I heard that the salads and desserts here are good, do you want to try.”

He knew Xu Xinnian’s purpose is finding himself, but he deliberately did not say it, and sure enough, Xu Xinnian’s eyes flashed a trace of anxiety, and he was embarrassed to open his mouth directly, and after stiffly eating a few bites of salad, he couldn’t help but open his mouth, “Big Brother Cheng, in fact, I came to you today to ask for…”

“Xinnian, don’t talk about business at dinner time, try this, the taste is not bad.”

He put the only bitter melon in the whole salad on his plate, deliberately hanging his appetite, pretending not to know anything, just coming to have a meal with an “old friend”.

Xu Xinnian still had a little thought about Qu Cheng in his heart, watching him take the initiative to add vegetables to himself, even if he was no longer happy, he swallowed the bitter melon with a hard scalp, the strong bitterness filled his mouth, and he almost threw up the nausea, but when he saw Qu Cheng’s smiling expression, he swallowed it into his stomach.

Pouring a cup of ice water, the bitter taste still did not wash away, the eyes drooped, the hand play appeared again, the eyes were red and immediately about to shed tears, “Big Brother Cheng, you let me talk about it, these days I was locked up in the police station, it was really painful, although the food poisoning thing is an accident, but I understand that doing the wrong thing has to bear, so there is no regret, I just don’t want to see the family road fall, my father will suffer this kind of blow when he is old…”

He wiped the tear marks from his face, skimmed his head and did not want Qu Cheng to see his expression, and brought the appearance of a filial piety to life.

He thought that Qu Cheng would ask him about Xu’s current situation, but who would have thought that not only did he not care at all, but he even said, “The situation in the shopping mall is changing, and I’m busy, so I can’t visit.”

One sentence completely blocked Xu Xinnian’s words, and even made his attitude very clear: We don’t know each other at all, so your family’s life or death has nothing to do with me.

Xu Xinnian didn’t expect Qu Cheng to be so direct, he was stunned for a while, and when he reacted, he became anxious, “Brother Cheng, you understand what I mean, you can’t just die.”

“I don’t understand, it’s not that the Public Security Bureau can’t help Xu’s reputation, and being helpless is not the same thing as not being able to help.”

“You can save me Brother Cheng!” Xu Xinnian said eagerly, and the whole person went to Qucheng leaning in front of him, “Even if you can’t save the Xu family, Brother Cheng, you will definitely be able to save me!”

Qu Cheng sneered in his heart, his eyebrows furrowed on his face, and the cup was placed heavily on the table with a “bang” of a sound.

Xu Xinnian was startled, his face suddenly turned pale, Qu Cheng understood that he had already taken the bait, he had enough posture, and rubbed the corners of his eyebrows, “Xinnian, I promised to come out to eat with you In order to talk about business affairs, if you must involve things other than our friendship, then sorry, I still have to go first, this is my invitation.

He left the meal money, got up and left, Xu Xinnian grabbed his arm all of a sudden, his eyes were red, “Brother Cheng, can you just give me a minute? I don’t want to make you angry, I just want to talk to you about a business that is beneficial to everyone. You can just listen to me and say a few words, is that okay?

His voice was pleading, and with the white sweater on him, he looked like a helpless high school student. If he didn’t know the bottom line, he would have softened his heart for his pitiful eyes.

Qu Cheng accompanied him around. After so long, he was waiting for these words. At this time, he sneered in his heart, sighed with a helpless look on his face, and sat back in his seat, “Xu Xinnian, it seems that you have to talk about business with me today? ”

Xu Xinnian nodded heavily, and clenched his hands tightly under the table. Qu Cheng was his last straw. He couldn’t let the boiled duck fly.

“I’m in urgent need of money now…” Helping my father through the crisis, you also know that food poisoning will cost a lot of money. I caused it, and I naturally have to bear it. I must not let Mr. Xu pay for me, but I don’t have much cash on hand, only Twenty-six percent of the shares, I will only sell 10% of the shares, just collect enough compensation… I beg you, Brother Cheng, can you help me? You will definitely not suffer by acquiring Xu’s shares.”

What he said was so hype, he simply described himself as a dutiful son who regarded money as dung and would rather give up his shares in order to save his family, but Qu Cheng knew exactly what he was thinking.

The Xu family is now in a precarious situation, and there is always danger of bankruptcy, a cunning and vicious person like Xu Xinnian would definitely not want to be dragged down by the Xu family, so he wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to quickly throw out the increasingly depreciating shares in his hands and replace them with real gold and white eyes. The sky is high and the sea is wide, he took the money and patted his butt and left, and the crisis of the Xu family has nothing to do with him.

His own abacus is good, but others are not fools. At this time, he pretended to be forced to give who sees?

Qu Cheng narrowed his eyes and raised his eyebrows calmly, “It’s not up to you whether you suffer or not, the Xu family has now become an empty shell and still owes a lot of debt, at this time you let me buy your shares, don’t you think it’s ridiculous? I’m a businessman, and I don’t do business at a loss.”

“Xu’s has been an old brand for so many years, even selling a signboard is worth a lot of money, and Xu’s is not at all. I don’t have money, but I don’t want the company to pay for my mistakes, and I want to use my own strength to repay it, which has nothing to do with whether the company is going to go bankrupt.”

“What’s more, HaoTing is in the entertainment business. There is no separation. You buy when the price of Xu’s shares is the lowest, and you will only make more money in the future. This is much more cost-effective than finding a little nameless restaurant, just because of the current turmoil, giving up such a big deal is a piece of cake, you can only say that you are short-sighted, and you have no business acumen, which makes me look down. To be honest, if it wasn’t for the fact that I didn’t want the company to take the blame for me, I would never have thrown it away. Shares, which is more important and which is less important, Brother Cheng, you should know clearly.”

After hearing this, Qu Cheng almost burst out laughing, this time he finally understood what it means to lie with one’s eyes open. So good, how could he let go so easily with such a greedy character?

He was already tired of playing with such a naive method of jigging, but he still had the cheek to pull it off.

Qu Cheng smiled, not smiling, stirring the coffee cup with a small spoon, as if he didn’t take Xu Xinnian’s words to heart at all.

Seeing that his lobbying was completely ineffective, Xu Xinnian was a little furious for a while, “Brother Cheng, I am confident that I will give you the company’s shares because I am familiar with you. I am really reluctant to sell others, but it doesn’t matter if you are not interested, anyway, everyone is willing to make money, and if it’s a big deal, I’ll sell it to others, even if I don’t feel relieved, I can only bear it.”

Qu Cheng couldn’t hold back any longer, sneered, and immediately threw the spoon on the plate with a smile and said “Okay, then you can go, if there is nothing else I will say goodbye.”

“Wait a minute!”

Xu Xinnian did not expect that he had said so many temptation conditions, but Qu Cheng was still unmoved, and could not help but ease his sigh, “Brother Cheng, how can you let go?”

Qu Cheng glanced at him condescendingly, and hummed lightly. He smiled and said, “First, I have no interest in the Xu family at all. You are begging me by asking me to buy it now. Please show me a begging attitude, at least let me see your sincerity, otherwise don’t talk about things.”

Negotiation is sometimes the same as fighting a war. When fighting against each other, the enemy will advance and we will retreat. If you can’t completely suppress the other party, you will immediately fall into the inferior position and be ridden on the head. As for Xu’s shares, Although Qu Cheng is bound to win, even if he wants to get it, Xu Xinnian must know that this is what he knelt on the ground and begged him like a dog.

When Xu Xinnian heard this, his face turned pale, and his eyes filled with tears immediately, “…Brother Cheng, aren’t we friends? Why do you have to… speak in such a tone?”

“It’s you who insisted on talking about business affairs. Yes, I can only do business. I will never let personal feelings affect my business. If you want to listen to good things, you don’t have to talk to me about the acquisition.”

Qu Cheng’s cold and hard attitude made Xu Xinnian’s face turn blue and then white. With tears in his eyes, his fingers climbed onto Qu Cheng’s arm, looking pleading and wanting to stop talking. He agreed in a confused way, but unfortunately Qu Cheng wanted to slap him twice as soon as he saw him making this expression on his peacock face.

Coldly pulling out his arm, he restrained his urge to hit someone, picked up his suit and stood up.

Xu Xinnian was really panicked this time, and stopped him all of a sudden, with a pleading tone, “Brother Cheng, let’s make an offer, how can you be willing to buy my shares? I don’t want us to do it because of business affairs. It doesn’t matter if I make less money, really.”

Qu Cheng narrowed his eyes and glanced at him, and after a while he stretched out four fingers, “I can buy it, but it must be based on the percentage. Give me an extra 4% of the tenth of the price.”

Xu Xinnian was stunned for a long time, his face darkened instantly, and he couldn’t hold back his pitiful expression, “I have a total of 26% of the shares, you want it all at once. 　　Going for more than half of the walk is simply taking advantage of the fire.”

“So what, am I forcing you to sell it to me?”

He is a businessman who puts his interests first, and he will never do business without money. Mrs. Xu’s half-dead look is given to me, and you will give it to me.

Since you can come to me, I believe that you have exhausted all means, and you have to settle for the next best thing. I want to come to the young master Xu to be rich and noble, and the Xu family is a wealthy family, but it is just a small disturbance, just find a few big families. It’s not a problem to borrow some money to tide over the difficulties, it’s not a problem to find a few bank presidents for a meal, to get a lot of money, why are you looking for me as a ‘nouveau riche’?”

Xu Xinnian was anxious and angry.

Today’s Xu family is doomed to collapse. The bank and several other big families are desperate for help. He is riddled with scandals and his reputation is ruined. No one wants to do business with him. Qu Cheng is now his all hope and also his last straw, if he can’t seize this opportunity, he can only follow Xu’s unlucky together.

“… Fourteen percent is too much. Brother Cheng, can you give me a little more price? We are so familiar…”

Xu Xinnian raised his hand to touch Qu Cheng’s arms again, his eyes were watery, the action even brought a seductive meaning.

Qu Cheng used all his strength to restrain the urge to kill him, and took a step back with a frosty expression on his face, “It’s 14%, it’s not enough to lose a child, if you’re not satisfied, please ask another person, HaoTing can’t afford the Xu Group.”

Xu Xinnian’s face was blue and white, and he clenched his posterior molars tightly, feeling up and down in his heart.

He originally wanted to sell 10% of his shares, earn tens of millions first, and then hold the remaining 16% in his hands. Even if the Xu family goes bankrupt and Xu Jianguo dies, he will have to share the inheritance, but now To give 4% more for no reason is equivalent to losing millions at a time. How can he be reconciled?

“Mr. Xu, think about it slowly. If you come to me at this time tomorrow, it won’t be the price.”

Qu Cheng didn’t even look at Xu Xinnian, got up and left, everyone walked to the door, but listened to the eager voice behind him.”Wait a minute Brother Cheng, I didn’t say I disagree! Just 14%, I’ve done this business, don’t leave!”

With a hard-to-find trick, Qu Cheng seemed to be playing with perfection, with his back facing Xu Xinnian, he evoked a wishful smile, and after a while, he said “happy cooperation”, but an inexplicable sentence emerged in his head: the dog is in a hurry. I can jump over the wall, and my ancestors did not deceive me.

**

Xu Group headquarters.

In the twenty-story building, the busy scene of the past is no longer there. Everywhere is depressed. The documents in the office are thrown all over the floor and no one comes to clean it. There are dozens of employees left in the whole building. At this time they also lay listlessly on the table, fishing upright and open.

Everyone knew that the Xu family was over. The people in the company walked and ran, and the rest were the lowest-level employees who couldn’t support it. Even so, these people still complained, if it wasn’t for the delinquency pay, they’re long gone, who would stay in a company that could go bankrupt at any moment?

The office was in depression, but the conference room on the top floor was full of chaos at this time, and the noise could be heard clearly from far away.

Shareholders, who usually do not see people easily, also came forward at this time, holding the share certificate in their hands with righteous indignation, and shouting fiercely at the secretary.

“Tell Xu Jianguo to get out! Don’t be a fucking tortoise at this time!”

“The Xu family lost the entire company, why let us shareholders pay for it!? You dared to do it before, but now you have no face to admit it!?”

“We’re at loss, and the company is going to close down at this time, and he’s is hiding in Tibet, fooling who!”

…….

One after another, the scolding came one after another, and the huge conference room was full of jams. At this time, dozens of people yelled at the same time, spittle splashed, and they could not wait to overturn the roof.

Xu Jianguo’s secretary is just a little girl. Seeing this situation, he almost cried, and kept repeating, “The chairman is still… still in the hospital, he really can’t come, please calm down!”

Although she explained hoarsely, the shareholders who lost all their hard-earned money loss at all. Seeing her hid at the door, five or six people rushed to block her retreat.

“Don’t fucking want to run! Hurry up and call Xu Jianguo! Today he has to give us an explanation, otherwise everyone will be here together!”

The secretary turned pale with fear, and called Xu Jianguo again tremblingly, but no one answered, “I really… can’t contact the chairman, I didn’t lie to you…”

The shareholders, who were already in a very bad mood, were even more angry when they heard this, and they invested their lives in The Xu family, but they don’t make much money now, but the old family was defeated by the Xu family and their sons. They even had to pay out of their own pockets to compensate the victims of food poisoning. The Xu family’s father and son is like a ghost , this is not what the turtle grandson is? !

Fuck! If Xu Jianguo doesn’t come forward today, we will withdraw our shares! It’s better to tear up the money and feed it to the dog than to corrupt the Xu family and their son!”

“Yes, withdraw the shares! If we are blind and buy Xu’s shares, we will be blind! Now you must return the money to us!”

“Withdraw!”

“Withdraw!”

“Withdraw our shares! Return our hard-earned money!”

All shareholders were so excited that the whole meeting room was almost drowned by the overwhelming sound of “Stock Withdrawal”.

At this time, the door of the meeting room suddenly opened——”I don’t see who dares!”

""

A weak but grim voice sounded, and everyone was stunned. The conference room was instantly silent. They saw Xu Jianguo sitting in a wheelchair at the door and being pushed forward.

He had just undergone the operation and has not fully recovered. His young face, which attracted bees and butterflies, has completely turned into a frightening cyan, decadent and old…

At a glance, he seems to see the twisted bark. Coupled with his twisted and gloomy eyes, he is like a mummy.

He followed Xu Xinnian silently behind him. He was far away and did not dare to step closer. If it were not for the shares of the Xu family in his hand, he might have been kicked out of the door by Xu Jianguo today. Now he is obediently clamping his tail, and he is not daring to do anything at all.

All of them were stunned for a few seconds. When they saw the Xu family and their son, they became even more angry. Some of them rushed up and were ready to start. They were stopped by the bodyguards behind Xu Jianguo.

Xu’s family was almost unable to pay his staff’s wages. Xu Jianguo had money to hire bodyguards at this time, and even did not forget to put on the airs of his rich family. That face was disgusting, not to mention how disgusting it was.

The shareholders who were stopped couldn’t help but yell, “how the hell are you still alive, Xu Jianguo!? how shameless to play with our hard-earned money? Give us back our hard-earned money! Withdraw!”

After hearing this, Xu Jianguo gave a cold snort, coughed weakly, and began gloomily, “do you want to withdraw your shares? Oh, what you want is beautiful. I still have the final say in the company. I don’t agree with you to withdraw your shares, so you have to stay here for me!”

“Bah! You still think you are the chairman of the board? Let’s have your spring and autumn dream!”
