Chapter 30 30. How well-behaved is your wife?
The unexpected answer was interrupted by a knock on the door, and Mi Yanyan's voice "I'm coming" came from the bottomless red light.
The conversation was broadcast live on surveillance audio.
"Go out for something to eat?"
The man's voice, timing was cleverly chosen, coinciding with dinner time.
"Okay, wait a moment."
The red light goes out.
The monitoring prompt sounded - the connection was disconnected.
Peanut seemed to have lost interest in the scrolling surveillance video and pounced to grab the new toy on the sofa.
The monitor returned to its original settings and rolled over to the socket to charge.
He looked so dejected, as if he had been abandoned by someone.
"Mr. Shi."
Secretary Zhou knocked on the door twice before Shi Jingzhou withdrew his gaze. He came back slowly from the stairs, looking a little tired, with his suit draped over his wrist. He closed his eyes as soon as he got into the car.
Secretary Zhou hesitated and turned away. "The old man is considering transferring two companies under the API division to Shi Zekai's management, especially the bio-fermentation API production base he invested in and built in the industrial park. Do you think you should go home as soon as possible?"
Frowning and looking up, Shi Jingzhou asked, "Is Shi Zekai going there tonight too?"
"The secretary said to come if he can."
After hearing this, Shi Jingzhou snorted coldly and asked Secretary Zhou to change the banquet address.
Tonight, several pharmaceutical companies in Nancheng gathered together. Ruisi has recently completed the acquisition of 8% of the shares of its holding subsidiary "Ruisi Reagents". The increase in shareholding ratio will further increase control and improve management decision-making efficiency.
It was not surprising that Shi Huaizhi took action at this time. He was used to using the method of making a big move to scare the enemy.
The main purpose is nothing more than to test Shi Jingzhou's temper after marriage.
After all, this marriage was originally prepared for Shi Zekai, and no one expected him to show up halfway.
Shi Jingzhou was a little annoyed. "I can give you synthetic pharmaceuticals, but I can't give you a bio-fermentation API production base."
"Yes," Secretary Zhou replied, "Several core technicians from the production base have arranged interviews with headquarters this week."
The base's veterinary drug production capacity is currently at the global leading level, and the two drugs developed in the past few years are in the leading position in the domestic market. It is absolutely impossible to give them up now.
The driver turned and headed south. The night was dark. The temperature in the south city dropped sharply in late autumn. The leaves of the sycamore trees on the street turned yellow. Shi Jingzhou checked his phone twice.
No news.
“Are there any good restaurants in Yangzhou?”
Secretary Zhou was startled by the strange question coming from the back row and took out his cell phone to check.
Change the location to Yangzhou, select "Must-eat list", and sort by "High price first".
“The Huaiyang cuisine and morning tea are both good. My wife's hotel is close to the city center, so there are many options, especially after dinner, there are many options for drinks or taking a walk..."
Zhou Shu's voice became smaller and smaller. Based on his many years of experience following Shi Jingzhou,
I probably said something wrong.
Sure enough, Shi Jingzhou rubbed his eyebrows and signaled him to shut up.
When they arrived at the private room, the group took their seats. When they saw Shi Jingzhou, they stood up respectfully without mentioning a word about their recent journey from the north to the south.
He nodded and sat down. There was an empty chair next to him. He looked up.
The informant withdrew.
Then he raised his glass first to express his apology: "Thank you all for your hard work. My old friend opened a new club and asked me to take care of the business."
The owner of Huabinlou brought in a glass of wine at the right moment and quickly joined in the conversation, bowing and saying, "My question has taken up everyone's time. If you leaders would do me the honor of arranging it today, I will."
Everyone exchanged a few words and drank a few rounds, but before the round of drinks was over, the door of the private room was pushed open again.
Everyone at the table hurriedly dropped their cups and stood up again. Shi Jingzhou curled his lips nonchalantly, and when Shi Zekai stood beside him, he called out, "Big Brother."
The tableware and chairs that had been removed were brought back by the waiter without a fuss.
"Big brother is pretty fast."
"Thanks to you, I came up empty-handed." Shi Zekai's tone was unclear as to whether it was good or bad. This was not the first time he had encountered such a thing. "I should thank you for not going too far."
One year, a family dinner was scheduled in a private garden west of South City. When he arrived, he found that Shi Jingzhou had moved to a mountain villa 60 kilometers outside of South City, which made him run away.
The people brought by the old man are cunning and ruthless. The two of them are in the Shi family and they each have their own camps, fighting openly and secretly.
Ruisi has never been afraid of acquisition battles, and the industry has even made several successful "snake swallowing an elephant" operations a myth. The foundation laid by Shi Huaizhi is now in the hands of the younger generation, and the two cousins are evenly matched.
As the eldest brother, Shi Zekai is tactful and steady, while Shi Jingzhou is decisive and ruthless.
When outsiders joke about the family conflicts, they are all acted out. The real thing is that they work together to maintain the largest pharmaceutical company in South City.
"I haven't been back to the old house for a long time, and grandpa has some ideas." Shi Zekai's words were sincere, as if it was a gentle reminder.
"That's exactly what you want. After keeping an eye on the division for so long, the old man finally relented. Big brother, remember to perform well."
Shi Jingzhou was always merciless, and his words made people around him feel worried.
"This is what grandpa meant. All four families are in his hands. Now that you are married, you will be too busy to take care of everything." Shi Zekai replied.
Shi Jingzhou paused for a moment, tilted his head, and a smile spread to the corners of his eyes as he said, "Those who stole my brother should return the favor."
"That's right, why don't you give me the base?" Shi Zekai was not polite and only took the important things.
"Dream on." Shi Jingzhou didn't even raise his eyes.
Shi Zekai saw that he was unhappy, and his mood instantly improved a bit. He jokingly said, "Why, my sister-in-law is not worth a subsidiary of Ruisi?"
The drinking party was so small that everyone at the table seemed to be chatting about their own things, but their eyes were fixed on the two gentlemen at the main seats. Now that they were in close combat, everyone began to believe the rumors about the discord between the Shi brothers, and the table suddenly became quiet for a moment.
Seeing that Shi Jingzhou didn't respond, the person sitting next to Shi Zekai made small talk and complimented Ruisi on its large-scale transformation of veterinary medicine in recent years.
"Our Nancheng old brand was really bold. We initially raised 600 million yuan to acquire Nanbei Animal Health to enter a new field. It was a bold move."
Those who are closely related here certainly know that this action seems to be the decision of Shi Huaizhi, but the actual implementation time happened to be the year when Shi Jingzhou returned to China, and the subsequent R&D management was also entirely under the responsibility of Shi Jingzhou.
"Rui Si has a strong market share now, and we know it has successors," several people echoed, and then discussed the market situation. "We are currently discussing the acquisition of the Nancheng Pet Hospital brand, and several large-scale ones have signed letters of intent."
Shi Jingzhou's marriage was no longer a secret within the industry. Someone across from him flatteredly said, "The company founded by President Shi's wife is also in talks. It's now one of the top three chain brands in South City. I've heard that Madam Shi is very clever. Could you introduce us to someone if you have the chance?"
Shi Jingzhou didn't expect to hear about Mi Yanyan at the banquet. He raised his glass and replied calmly, "Don't try so hard."
He knew very well that Mi Yanyan would not agree to sell Jianuo.
"I was wondering why there has been no progress. Several of the founders of Jianuo disagreed." The other party replied.
"The price is not right. If Mr. Zhao wants to develop a new industry, he must be paid in full." Someone cheered on the side.
"How could that be? I was introducing a new shareholder to me earlier, and at the end of the conversation, he even talked about nostalgia," Zhao Ziheng sipped his wine. "He said this brand was a graduation gift from his sweetheart, and that he returned to South City just for his sweetheart. There was no room for negotiation."
Secretary Zhou outside the private room clenched his fists upon hearing this.
Those at the table may not know that there is only one candidate for new shareholder within Jianuo.
It was Xu Chang, whom the boss had investigated twice.
Besides, Jianuo has only one female founder.
"What's the new shareholder's name?" Shi Jingzhou seemed to suddenly become interested and asked.
"Let me think about it," the other party actually frowned and thought for a few seconds, then slapped his thigh and said as if offering a treasure, "The last name is Xu, double Xu."
Shi Zekai heard a very soft laugh in his ear.
After a few rounds of drinking, Secretary Zhou came in early as expected, and said apologetically that he always left first when there was something going on in the company, and he would come to accompany her.
Shi Zekai glanced at his cousin who picked up his suit and strode away. There were many pairs of eyes staring at Shi Huaizhi at the table, waiting for an opportunity. This matter would reach the old man's ears within five minutes, otherwise he would not have been able to rush around half the city to deal with it.
I couldn't help but wonder again. Last time he was sick, what was the reason this time?
The woman who made Shi Jingzhou change his plans twice...
When I think about it carefully, she is indeed graceful, with skin as white as cream, well-dressed and well-behaved, and speaks in a soft and gentle voice. In my memory, her almond-shaped eyes are reserved and full, but there is nothing else to describe her outstanding qualities.
With an average family background and ordinary job, Shi Zekai considered that his grandfather chose her largely because of the long-standing relationship between the Shi and Mi families, as well as—
The elders all said that Mi Yanyan was very well-behaved and obedient, and would not achieve anything great.
By marrying him this way, she won't be a hindrance to Shi Jingzhou in the future.
The marriage partner that Grandpa had chosen for Shi Jingzhou was the eldest daughter of the famous Yan family in North City, and now the heir to Yanzhi Pharmaceutical.
The old man has always been so partial, but it's a pity that Shi Jingzhou didn't appreciate it.
"Shi Jingzhou, this kid, is also a wife-loving person?" Shi Zekai joked to Secretary Zhou, who had just finished three rounds of drinks.
Secretary Zhou was startled, then wiped his mouth calmly, lowered his voice and said, "The company had something going on, so President Shi left first."
Shi Zekai rolled his eyes at him silently.
I thought to myself that if I had the chance I would have a good meeting with this sister-in-law who just passed by me, to see how well-behaved and lovely she was.
Mi Yanyan and Xu Chang walked back to the hotel by the Slender West Lake in Yangzhou to digest their food. The ginkgo trees and yellow fir trees were red, and the scenery in late autumn was as good as that in spring.
Xu Chang bought her a glass of juice and placed it in her hand, saying considerately, "The dishes that Dean Sun ordered just now were rather heavy in flavor. You'd better drink something sweet to help with the greasiness."
"Well, there's not even a root or a leaf of meat on the table."
The two of them were just planning to have a quick chat, but it turned out that the new hospital director was already waiting in the hotel lobby, so he had to give them a couple of drinks to welcome them.
"But Dean Wang is quite honest and seems to want to run the hospital well."
Mi Yanyan was talking to herself while Xu Chang walked side by side with her, listening attentively and occasionally commenting.
"Li Xun is still picky about who he chooses. Expansion itself is not a problem. The key is to establish a new management team in a timely manner to liberate us."
Xu Chang's return to Nancheng was part of the plan, but going to Jianuo was an accident.
When Li Xun extended the olive branch, he only added one more sentence: the attending physician of the North City Branch is now Mi Yanyan.
He nodded without thinking, and neither of them knew at the time that Mi Yanyan was married.
Xu Chang, who had never pried into anyone's private life, took advantage of the slight intoxication and asked, "Xiaoyan, you and Shi Jingzhou...how is your married life?"
The tone is relaxed and casual, as peaceful as old friends chatting.
"It's fine. He is very busy and I am busy too." Mi Yanyan answered truthfully.
We were really busy. We concentrated the three-day wedding photo shoot into three hours. One of us was on a business trip and the other was attending a social event, so we had no time to take care of each other.
Xu Chang couldn't connect these words with happiness. Seeing her biting the straw and walking with her head down, she looked almost the same as when she was in school. A knot in his heart was quickly pulled.
"Xiaoyan, I should have told you earlier." He suddenly stopped and turned around.
Mi Yanyan looked at him blankly with a straw in her mouth and replied, "What did you say?"
Xu Chang was about to speak when Mi Yanyan heard someone calling her name from behind, and they both looked at each other sideways.
Shi Jingzhou leaned against the car, his gaze piercing through the crowd, so wild that it caused waves to roll on the lake.
