Chapter 29

Xu Zhi didn’t see Fei Nanzhou for a week.

The temperature dropped very quickly after the National Day, and pedestrians put on coats one after another. Xu Zhi rushed to Pioneer Center in the morning and signed a contract with another company. It was already afternoon when she came back, and she kept singing about the empty city plan.

She bought a sandwich from the convenience store downstairs and went straight to the conference hall on the 32nd floor. After a long meal, she finally swallowed the sandwich before the meeting started.

There were many reporters here today, and the lights were flashing constantly.

The meeting was chaired by Huarui's chairman Jiang Huan, but the reporter obviously didn't buy it. One person held up a microphone and asked: "Excuse me, does Huarui continue to plan to sell off its related industries to replace working capital?"

"Huarui has the confidence to spend Is it going to get through this?"

"Is Mr. Fei unwilling to attend because of the news about the freeze on new shares? "Is he planning to give up control of Huarui?"

...

Jiang Huan tried his best to control the situation, but these reporters couldn't get in. , and then the questions came one after another, covering up his voice.

Xu Zhi was also very irritable and felt that they could not let them continue to make trouble like this. He stood up and was about to go on stage, but a familiar voice came from behind him: "I'm sorry, I was delayed a little time due to the bidding matter. Everyone has been waiting for a long time."

The voice. Calm and peaceful, sonorous and powerful, it quickly suppressed the restlessness.

Everyone's eyes, including Xu Zhi's, were looking toward the door, just in time to see Fei Nanzhou, dressed in formal attire, calmly walking through the door of the conference hall surrounded by two supervisors.

Fei Nanzhou had a strong aura and was not angry at all. Several reporters who had just been attacking Jiang Huan suddenly became mute. When he glanced at him indifferently, they all avoided him.

After all, he is an undefeated boss in the business world. He is not as decadent as everyone imagined.

This made everyone wonder if the recent rumors were untrue.

However, it is also possible that the war situation in the shopping mall is changing rapidly, and Fei Nanzhou is not an ordinary person.

Xu Zhi kept looking towards the stage. He seemed to be aware of it and glanced this way. The moment their eyes met, he smiled faintly and stepped onto the stage.

Jiang Huan hurriedly stepped away and gave him the microphone position, and couldn't help but wipe the sweat from his forehead.

"I know that everyone is very concerned about the current situation of Huarui, but I also hope that everyone will not scare my employees and partners with hearsay and scaremongering. Will you compensate me for my losses?" He made a harmless joke first. .

There was a burst of laughter below, and the atmosphere effectively relaxed, no longer tense as before.

Xu Zhi no longer worried about him and felt that she was worrying blindly.

She took out her notes and jotted them down silently. Fei Nanzhou briefly talked about the main problems that Huarui would overcome in the future strategic adjustment, the main areas of development, etc. She responded appropriately and with ease, and quickly took the initiative on the topic of the meeting. Catch it in your own hands.

A press conference ended at 5 p.m.

Xu Zhi was waiting in the stairwell and saw him bidding farewell to several partners from a distance. He was walking this way, laughing and saying goodbye to representatives of several important newspapers.

"Wait for me?" He raised his eyebrows and raised his hand to make a "please" gesture.

Xu Zhi said: "It's just along the way, don't put gold on your face."

He just smiled.

They didn't go out to eat. Fei Nanzhou ordered her a bowl of clam and shrimp noodles after returning. He has no problem cooking this kind of unskilled noodles. After the water boils, he throws in the washed clams and sprinkles two slices of ginger and it's done.

Xu Zhi took a sip of the soup and said with disgust, "Did you not add any salt?"

Then he remembered and quickly added a spoonful of salt to her.

She looked at him with a resentful look: "I feel like I'm your cooking test subject."

"How did you say that?" He pretended to hit her on the head.

As a result, she was able to take the lead and already covered her head firmly with both hands: "I promised not to start again!"

She spoke sternly.

Fei Nanzhou smiled and sat down next to her, picking out the noodles in the bowl.

Xu Zhi had nothing to do in the evening. After dinner, she went downstairs for a walk. When she came back, Fei Nanzhou was nowhere to be seen.

She went to the study to look for him, but found that the study was also empty.

"Fei Nanzhou—" She searched for him throughout the room, and when she opened the bedroom door, she found him lying on the bed.

Xu Zhi thought he was asleep, so she stepped lightly, but when she was about to exit, she felt something was wrong. She hurriedly went over to look at his forehead, only to find that his eyes were closed and his body was burning hot.

She was so anxious that she asked him where the medicine was. Fei Nanzhou was so dizzy with fever that she couldn't even open her eyes, so she had to go out to buy it with her mobile phone.

After she came back, she poured water and fed him. She stayed by his side and took his temperature twice. After seeing that his fever had subsided, she leaned beside him tiredly and fell asleep. In the middle of the night, she woke up from her nightmare, crawled into his arms, and buried herself deeply in his chest.

Fei Nanzhou was awakened by her movement, and placed his warm palm against her cheek, caressing her gently.

"I'm sorry for waking you up." She confessed, but she still held his shirt tightly.

"What are you sorry for?" He smiled sullenly, "You bought me medicine and took care of me?"

Fei Nanzhou had to go on a business trip two days later, so the two had to separate again.

Xu Zhi saw him off and watched his tall figure disappear at the boarding gate. His eyes were sore and he felt confused and lost.

In mid-to-late October, before Fei Nanzhou returned to Beijing, something big happened.

The Kong family fell.

The reason is that his prospective son-in-law Shen Cong provided strong evidence and reported him under his real name, which also implicated a lot of people. This matter was widely spread in the circle, and Xu Zhi heard about it when she went to the club to meet Xie Chengan.

"It's urgent." Xie Chengan commented, lowering his head and dusting off the cigarette ashes casually, "If we delay it for a few more days and do it more rigorously, won't all the people implicated on this list have to be found guilty? However, I didn't even look at him. I plan to really offend all the people on the sidelines, and I just want to drag a few important people out. "

The box was quite quiet, the rest of the people didn't speak, and the atmosphere was a bit dull. Although no one here has been implicated, most people want stability in the current situation. With such a big turmoil, there will naturally be big changes in the future, such as promotion and demotion, and it is difficult to guarantee that the family will not be affected.

"Shen Cong is also a ruthless person who dares to cause such a big turmoil. If you ask me, I have no confidence in this matter at all. What kind of title does Kong Sheng have? He dares to fight head-on. If it doesn't work well, he won't be able to overthrow the Kong family. Fold yourself in." One person said.

"The man named Kong betrayed his father and made him a scapegoat. How could he not hate it? Without evidence, how could he have endured it for so many years?"

"Where is Hua Rui? Is Nan Zhou okay?"

"What can happen to him? I am most proud of it. It’s him. With the newly introduced policies and purchase restrictions in many cities including Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou, this property cannot be sold anymore. If you ask me to say that real estate is not going anywhere, it would be better to abandon it as soon as possible. He will abandon this hot property. Although the company lost some shares and money, the industrial structure has been optimized and the future will be better. Moreover, I heard that CITIC is going to reorganize with Huakang, Zhongying and a foreign company into a mixed-ownership reform? He should focus his strategy on CITIC in the future, but I don’t know where he can get..."

Hearing this revelation, Xu Zhi was stunned and realized that Fei Nanzhou had a plan, but he didn’t know what he would do in the future. Where to put your focus.

Hua Rui is now suffering from chronic illnesses. He just doesn't know how he will develop after cutting off the real estate and corresponding hotel service industries, or whether he will abandon them. Everything is unknown.

Several people were discussing that he would most likely vigorously develop the technology industry, and some of his previous trends and strategic adjustments could also be seen. Otherwise, he would not have made great efforts to invest in Hua Ruikang and acquire and reorganize related companies.

Xu Zhi heard it half-understood. Although the prospects seemed promising, she was still worried about him.

"Don't worry about him. The worst thing is him. When you cut him open, everything will be black." Xie Cheng'an seemed to see her worry and complained to her, saying that this guy has eight hundred tricks and won't fall that easily. Let her worry about herself.

"What do I have to worry about?" If she was assigned to Shen Cong and Qu Xiao, or if she was auctioned off or taken back to the top, she would still have food to eat.

No matter how the boss changes, isn't it the same for all workers?

Xie Chengan admired her determination: "You two have the same temper, no wonder he likes you."

Xu Zhi didn't appreciate it: "Mr. Xie, are you scolding me or praising me?"

In exchange for Xie Chengan's burst of laughter, he He bent down to pour her tea himself: "Here, I'll give you this cup."

Xu Zhi didn't like his sarcastic manner, and the dogs passing by would be teased by him, so he stood up with a dark face and said, "No, There is still something going on in the company, please drink slowly."

-

When Xu Zhi saw Fei Nanzhou again, Huarui's internal affairs had basically stabilized. His overseas assets have been dealt with, and his domestic assets have been unfrozen. The first thing he did when he came back was to deal with the company's internal problems.

The first people to be taken away for investigation were two senior executives of Huarui on suspicion of corruption, but everyone knew that this was Fei Nanzhou's account before liquidation.

At Monday's high-level meeting, all the executives were trembling with fear, fearing that they would follow in the footsteps of these two men.

To their surprise, Fei Nanzhou did not make a big move, but made minor personnel changes, assigning Qu Xiao to an overseas technology subsidiary to "open up wasteland", while he and Shen Cong got along peacefully.

Even at the equity change meeting not long after, Shen Cong replaced the original director named Liu and became Huarui's second largest shareholder, taking charge of all the affairs of Huarui Technology.

After a series of previous industrial adjustments, the technology industry is now the largest branch of Huarui.

There had long been rumors that Fei Nanzhou would step back behind the scenes and stop interfering with Hua Rui's specific affairs. They thought they were rumors, but his attitude was really confusing.

There seemed to be some kind of agreement between him and Shen Cong.

Xu Zhi also had doubts. She accompanied Fei Nanzhou to play golf at a golf course in the west of the city that day, and she asked casually.

At that time, she was holding a cup of Earl Gray milk tea and gently blowing the milk foam on it.

Fei Nanzhou was lying on a gently rocking wicker chair with his legs crossed, looking like a cynical playboy. His face was covered with a book, as if he was too tired and didn't want to say more to her.

But Xu Zhi knew that he deliberately put on this posture every time he didn't want to tell her.

When Mr. Fei is serious, he is very serious. When he is not serious, he can be more ungrateful than anyone else. It all depends on his will.

He can be both good and evil, being strict and ruffian, and he can switch between them at any time.

Xu Zhi was a little angry and grunted to leave.

He raised his hand to take off the book covering his face, stood up from the wicker chair, and smiled silently: "I didn't tell you because I didn't want you to go through this muddy water, but you refused to listen. I forgot what I told you. , guard against arrogance and impatience, the old habits have not changed after so many years of experience."

Xu Zhi's face turned slightly red and he retorted: "I haven't opened my eyes, so who knows what the plan is?" The

smile in his eyes deepened. He asked her, "Are you worried about me?"

Xu Zhi's face turned even redder, like the bright red apples in the fruit bowl. The color seemed to show through from the fair skin. The night breeze was slightly intoxicating.

Under his aggressive gaze, she refused to be outdone: "I'm just worried about you. How is it?!"

"Not so good." Fei Nanzhou propped up his chin with a smile. After smiling, his expression turned solemn, and he dropped the book and stood up.

A few steps away, Xu Zhi watched him approach step by step. His heart was so sad that he couldn't express it. The anxiety and worry of the past days burst out at this moment, and tears fell uncontrollably.

Fei Nanzhou held her soft body in his arms: "Fool."

"You don't know how worried I am about you." She choked.

"I know." He smiled knowingly, "Even for you, I won't let anything happen to me. I must be able to protect my woman."

"Mr. Fei, Mr. Shen is here." Shen Qian smiled and walked from the corridor Come up here and say.

Fei Nanzhou let go of Xu Zhi and nodded: "Let him come over."

When Shen Qian turned back again, Shen Cong was already beside him.

Shen Cong has a usual elegant style and is very stylish in a light gray casual suit. He has a graceful and graceful look.

"Here you come? Sit down." Fei Nanzhou greeted him with a smile and ordered tea to be served.

Shen Cong also sat down naturally, looking calm.

Xu Zhi couldn't see anything fishy between the two of them, nor any obvious discord. He couldn't figure it out, and he looked like a telegraph pole with a stick: "I'm going out for a walk."

Fei Nanzhou sent Han Ping Follow her.

"I'm not a child." Xu Zhi protested with some dissatisfaction.

"This villa is big. I'm afraid you might get lost and have to call 110, which will waste police resources." He teased her casually.

Xu Zhi was furious, turned around and took Han Ping away.

Shen Cong lowered his head and drank tea, seemingly turning a blind eye to this scene. He just bent his fingers on his free hand and grasped an elm leaf that floated from nowhere.

"Sorry, the kids at home don't know the way. I need to give you a few words of advice." Fei Nanzhou sat down again.

Shen Cong did not answer. Sometimes the competition between men does not need to be too straightforward.

He didn't bother to do this kind of thing, and he would be inferior if he showed off too much, but Fei Nanzhou seemed to do it naturally. Gradually, it gives people the illusion that it is the truth.

Shen Cong frowned and avoided the topic: "Why do you let me continue to care about Hua Rui?"

"What about you? Why don't you expose all the things about Kong Sheng?" Fei Nanzhou blew the tea noodles leisurely and took a sip. One mouthful.

In the silence, neither of them spoke.

After a while, they both smiled when they looked at each other.

We are all understanding people, and there is no need to explain some things so clearly. It is extremely stupid for people at this level to think that the fish will die and the net will break up. Everyone should get what they need and benefit.

There is no blood feud between the two. To say the least, they are still strategic partners. If they work together, both will benefit and both will suffer. Huarui's current situation cannot withstand a major war. New industries still need heavy investment, and they also need to unanimously seize markets and opportunities. . Moreover, Fei Nanzhou seemed to have no intention of interfering with Hua Rui's specific affairs.

"If CITIC undergoes mixed reform, will you leave Beijing?" Shen Cong asked him.

"It's hard to say." He asked this. Fei Nanzhou was obviously expecting it. He took another sip of tea and said with a slight smile, "I don't have the ability to predict the unknown."

Shen Cong didn't believe his words at this moment.

This man's city is far beyond his imagination. He may seem bold and radical, but in fact he is meticulous and rigorous in his planning. He doesn't care about any gain or loss. He can even decisively give up some seemingly lucrative benefits for the sake of the overall situation, which is beyond the reach of other people.

The properties he abandoned happened to have been invested a lot of effort by several shareholders such as Chen Xinxian and Zhou Qingguo. I heard that these two people were veterans of Huarui and his father's old subordinates. They had made great contributions to helping him establish Huarui. Now they were decisively decided by him. Abandonment, Fei Nanzhou's unwillingness to be controlled by others is clear.

It is better to injure the enemy by one thousand and lose eight hundred to yourself. Even if you start all over again, you must be your own master.

"Is it for Zhizhi?" he asked without warning.

"Am I such a loving person? Mr. Shen." Fei Nanzhou's tone was calm and he ignored his probing eyes.

"Really?" The smile in Shen Cong's eyes grew stronger. "The more I try to hide it, the more I show that I care. Has Mr. Fei heard of it?"

Fei Nanzhou said nothing and tapped his knuckles twice on the table: "This It’s an interesting statement. Is this the reason why Mr. Shen mentioned Zhi Zhi again and again? “

With all the effort, the ball was kicked back.

Shen Cong didn't want to play Tai Chi with him anymore, knowing that he couldn't get anything out of him and couldn't find out his bottom, so he stopped asking and just sighed softly and said sarcastically: "Isn't Mr. Fei using me? I'm retreating." Come in and find out her sincerity. You have a plan, but you show weakness at every turn to win her sympathy. Now, have you got the answer you want?"

"The shopping mall is like a battlefield, and it is constantly changing. How can you be confident? Me." He laughed it off.

That smile pierced Shen Cong's heart like a needle.

In terms of the battle situation, this is a win-win situation with a handshake and a temporary truce.

Emotionally, he was completely defeated.
