Chapter 137

Tea Love’s stock price halved earlier, which greatly reduced the morale of investors. During that period, they spent all their energy on the acquisition war and did not concentrate on business. Since Lin Wei left, the milk tea shop’s profits have continued fell.

The headquarters building was half-finished, but the construction was stalled due to funds being diverted, and many workers were owed wages.

As soon as the news came out, there were a lot of rumors in the market about the Gu family's capital turnover problems, and some people said they didn't understand the milk tea business, and the stock price fell all the way.

The current situation in Hong Kong City, with all 148 stores of Xiangjiang Company closed, is not the last straw that breaks the camel's back, but a big deal.

There are nearly 150 stores. This loss cannot be quantified. Because the shutdown of the Xiangjiang factory has caused the supply of some special raw materials to be cut off. Many suppliers are also from Xiangjiang. The company is now suffering heavy losses.

In the perception of many people, no matter how low it is, it should not fall as it is now. After all, Taiwan’s stores are still very strong. However, the stock market cannot be measured rationally. It can be significantly higher than the market value, but it can also be significantly higher. Below market capitalization.

"Once you lose trust, you can't get it back no matter how much you do."

Lin Wei dipped her hands in the sauce and said to Wu Ming: "Don't reveal my identity when you go there this time. No one there has seen you." Let me tell you, just make up a big boss identity for yourself."

"Editor?"

Lin Wei said, "Aren't you very good at it?"

"I'm good at..." Wu Ming choked.

Lin Wei smiled at him, but Mother Wu didn't dare to get angry with him.

"Don't talk about the company during dinner," Sun Boran suddenly said, "Song Ye has finished eating, and you two are still talking."

Lin Wei was stunned when she heard this, and looked at Song Ye's seat, only to find that it was empty. , there was nothing but an empty milk glass, and he didn't seem to have eaten anything.

But the next second, she tried to shake off that astringent emotion. She didn't have to feel bad for the man, they had a serious idea.

Lin Wei turned her head and asked Sun Boran: "Did they say when they would be back?"

Sun Muan had completed the operation. The operation was successful, but it needs regular review.

"It will take some time. I haven't taken care of it yet. Now it's such a mess here. I'll be worried when I come back." Sun Boran couldn't help but sigh.

He was very sad about the current situation. He sighed in front of the newspaper every day and called the students when he had time, fearing that they would make trouble and hurt others and themselves.

Speaking of this, Sun Boran looked at Lin Wei and couldn't help but ask: "Are you really not planning to go back to school?"

Earlier, Sun Boran had quarreled with the vice principal several times because of Lin Wei's affairs, and even intercepted others on the way. Principal, debate with the other party. Since the police station has released her, it means that Lin Wei is fine, and the school should take a stand now.

Lin Wei didn't know whether to laugh or cry when she found out, and told him to stop it. She didn't plan to go back.

"Studying at home is the same. With you and Song..." Lin Wei paused and said with a smile, "I will not miss my homework. Shi Jingchen said that he will also be reinstated, and he will teach the lesson plans for each subject." Give me a copy, you just have to help me with something."

"What?" Sun Boran asked.

"If Lao Fang asks about it then, you have to speak up for me. It's not my fault. It's because the school is not a good person. I'm such a good student and they are willing to expel me. I won't go back. I really think I have no temper. Hmph! Lin Wei groaned angrily while holding the chopsticks.

Sun Boran felt mixed emotions when he saw her acting like a child.

Lin Wei was arrested a few days ago, and he was worried for a while. How could such a delicate girl, who was only eighteen years old, endure this?

He would also be frightened.

But looking at it now, she is the most optimistic in the whole family. She is busy all day long, no different from before.

No matter what, it's better to be more open-minded. He was also afraid of the psychological shadow left by Lin Wei.

After eating, Lin Wei was going to the hospital to see Sheng Meiyun. She told Wu Ming: "Please help me urge our Hong Kong Governor. Freeman's matter should be put on the agenda. It's been almost two months. I Why do you think he's still jumping around?"

Wu Ming looked at her, frowned slightly, and didn't agree: "At this time, is it appropriate for you to rush him for this kind of thing? There are so many big things waiting for him to deal with, and he is now Where do you have time to take care of this?"

Lin Wei fixed her hair and said, "It's because he doesn't care about these small things that he can't deal with these big things now.

You can't let him go." "Then let Song Ye go." Why don't you give him a hard job?"

After arranging her hair, Lin Wei put on her hat, turned her head and said plausibly: "He is not my employee, how can you just use him casually?"

"Then you can do whatever you want? Instructing me?" Wu Ming was speechless.

"Of course. I rescued you from dire straits. Why don't you sacrifice your life for me to repay me?" Lin Wei deliberately looked him up and down, "Look at you, you don't have anything valuable, and you are average-looking. Like, this brain is a little easier to use."

Wu Ming was so angry that she couldn't speak. He watched the other party call the bodyguards and be escorted to the car.

This woman is simply...

Wu's mother came over and said, "Miss Lin, why do you like..." She thought about it for a moment and said, "Do you like to argue with you so much?" What she actually wanted to say was to tease you.

"Who knew she was inexplicable all day long?" Wu Ming said angrily.

Mother Wu couldn't help but smile when she saw his angry look. He felt that his son had changed a lot from before. To describe it, he was more energetic. He was not as depressed as before, like a boring gourd, saying nothing. Now I quarrel with Miss Lin all day long and talk a lot.

Miss Lin also has a way and knows how to control his temper.

It's a pity that this person's status is too high, otherwise the two of them would be a perfect match.

Wu Ming turned upstairs and went to the study. Song Ye leaned against the bookshelf with half-closed eyes. The warm sunlight passed over his slightly cold face. Under the faint light, it became a little quieter and softer, with a slight frown. It adds a touch of vulnerability and a different kind of beauty.

"No matter how nice the posture is, it's useless, she's out." Wu Ming put the notes on the table.

Song Ye ignored him and still closed his eyes to rest.

These days, the relationship between the three of them is a bit awkward. Lin Wei ignores Song Ye, and Song Ye ignores Wu Ming. This kind of cold war atmosphere is very strange.

Wu Ming then said to himself: "Lin Wei asked you to help her urge the Hong Kong Governor to kick Freeman back to the UK as soon as possible."

Song Ye still had no reaction.

"If you don't want to, then I'll leave it to someone else. Anyway, there are plenty of people." Wu Ming looked indifferent, opened his notes, and began to write down his plan for his trip to Taiwan, "I'm going to Taiwan soon, you Even if you want to talk to me from now on, no one will care about you."

Song Ye opened his eyes and said in a hoarse voice, "Get out of

here." But Wu Ming was stunned: "What's wrong with you? "

Song Ye stopped talking.

Wu Ming felt a little guilty and advised: "No, she didn't kick you out. If I were you, I would do something to save her and find a way to make her calm down."

"You think I didn't do it?" Song Ye With a broken voice, he paused and said, "It's all your fault."

For some reason, Wu Ming suddenly wanted to laugh when he heard his voice. This man was usually aloof, cold, and arrogant. The method was ruthless and gave people a cold feeling. Now his voice changed and his lethality plummeted. He was very harmless and even felt a little pushy.

Wu Ming thought for a while and said, "Actually, you're not that bad. I thought you would take revenge on me."

"You think I don't want to?" Song Ye's throat felt like it was cut by a knife.

Wu Ming put down his pen and looked at him: "So you still don't realize what the problem is. You don't understand what Lin Wei is angry about. Is it just because of deception? Can't she see how good you are to her? "

Song Ye opened his eyes and looked at him, with dark and gloomy eyes, a hint of melancholy in his coldness.

Wu Ming said: "You don't look at a person by how he treats people he likes, but by how he treats people he doesn't like. If you are good to her now, there is no guarantee that one day you won't like her and you will do something like that." Whatever happened, if you can't change, you will never be able to get close to her. Lin Wei is not lacking in love. Your preference cannot impress her."

Song Ye slowly looked away and said in a low voice. "It's different."

"What's different?" Wu Ming asked.

"The world is different."

What he wanted was preference, and he was given such preference. Lin Wei was different from others. She had light in her body, and he could not see others.

He doesn't know what kind of change counts as a change, but does it only count in behavior?

Wu Ming didn't understand, but he didn't continue to ask. Song Ye's voice sounded serious, so he turned around and called Lin Wei in the hospital.

Sheng Meiyun's ward was equipped with a telephone. After Lin Wei listened, she hung up the phone and was in a daze for a while.

"What's wrong? What happened to the company?" Sheng Meiyun asked aloud.

"No," Lin Wei turned around and said with a smile, "The company hasn't started work yet, what can happen?"

Sheng Meiyun frowned: "It's been almost two months, when will this trouble continue?"

If According to the previous life, it was really early. It would be the end of the year. I don’t know if it would be any different now.

Lin Wei sat down, thought for a while and said, "It might take a while."

"Aren't you worried?" Sheng Meiyun asked.

"Worry," Lin Wei sighed, "If you weren't too weak, I would have taken you to France now."

What if these people rush to the hospital? This is what Lin Wei is more worried about.

Sheng Meiyun: "...I'm not talking about this, I'm talking about the company. Now many people are starting to leave Hong Kong. Have you ever thought about leaving?"

"Leaving? No," Lin Wei suddenly paused and looked towards Sheng Meiyun, "Do you want to leave?"

Sheng Meiyun was silent for a while, looked at her abdomen, and said, "I don't want my children to live in such an environment in the future. France is indeed good, maybe it is more suitable for us."

Lin Wei looked at her , opened his mouth, and was speechless for a while.

After a while, she asked: "Do you want to live in France?"

"What do you think there?" Sheng Meiyun asked her.

Lin Wei didn't know what to say. Secretly, she didn't like Sheng Meiyun to settle in France. If that happened, no one would take over Hezi's work for a while.

But Lin Wei still said: "It's good. If you like it there, you can go there. France will be Hezi's European headquarters in the future."

Sheng Meiyun shook her head: "I want to leave Hezi."

What?

Lin Wei looked startled.

Sheng Meiyun said softly: "I have been very busy before, but these days in the hospital, I suddenly feel that it is good to slow down now. After working hard for so many years, I have made a lot of money, but I have never fully enjoyed it. , I thought, why should I let myself be so tired? I can just enjoy life."

Lin Wei was completely stunned. She had never expected this direction.

She didn't understand: "No, why? Did your previous job make you unhappy, or did your mind change after you had a child?"

"I knew you were going to say that," Sheng Meiyun shook her head and said, "And It doesn't matter if you have children, they just make me aware of this problem. Working with you makes me happy most of the time, but sometimes it can also make people feel very tired."

Lin Wei said quickly: "Then, from now on. The workload can be reduced a little. If you have nothing to do now, just take a good rest. After giving birth, take maternity leave and have a complete rest. Then you can return to the company. But don’t give up work just because of the child. What a housewife thinks..."

"Not all women are like you," Sheng Meiyun interrupted. She softened her voice and said, "I don't have to live like you to be successful. I didn't have a family or relatives before. So I worked hard to make money, trying to fill myself up, but now that I have a family, I don’t want to work so hard anymore. I think it’s time to stop and enjoy life.”

Lin Wei was at a loss for words and didn’t know for a moment. How to refute? She instinctively didn't want Sheng Meiyun to do this. She searched for all the excuses to refute: "No matter what, you have to have your own career. Don't you feel it's a pity that you are so good? If he treats you badly in the future, What should you do?"

Sheng Meiyun smiled and shook her head: "I don't have any hope that he will be good to me. People change. The greater the expectations, the greater the disappointment. I am already thirty-seven years old. , I'm not that naive. I didn't leave just because I wanted to get married. Now that I have saved enough money, I can enjoy it. With or without him, my children and I will live well."

Lin Wei was crazy, The calmer and more rational Sheng Meiyun spoke, the more panicked she became. She really wanted to leave.

What she feared most in her previous life was that her right-hand man would leave. If it was for money, it would be easy to handle. What she feared most was people like Sheng Meiyun who wanted to run away after making enough money.

It's really useless to say anything.

Sheng Meiyun continued: "In this situation, I don't want to take advantage of you. I will withdraw my shares at the price at which I purchased them."

This is really what I am afraid of.

Lin Wei regretted it. If she had known that she would not be so generous at the end of the year, she would have spent all the money. With a few million in dividends, it was indeed enough money. Plus Sheng Meiyun's assets were already in the low tens of millions.

Lin Wei covered her chest and said sadly: "You should take advantage of me, are you serious? Don't you want to see Hezi stand at the top? The Great Wall has just taken the first step, and Hezi will be in the future She will definitely shine internationally. Don't you look forward to such a glorious future? Can you bear to quit like this?"

Sheng Meiyun looked at her for a while, sighed and said, "I don't want to hurt you, I admit it. You have made Hezi very successful, but look at it now, the results of our hard work for so long have been easily destroyed. The same is true in France. The popularity is gradually dissipating. Without the blessing of down jackets, sales are no longer stable. , it is not that easy for the Chinese to get involved in the fashion industry. You told me before that you wanted to acquire French brands, but your thinking is too simple. Even if it is a local French brand, once it is acquired, it will be labeled as Chinese. , will fall from the altar soon. The future you mentioned is too far away, I can't imagine it."

Lin Wei almost couldn't come up. She took a breath and said: "I'm serious, no matter how good you are. Think about it, what if your hormones are unstable during pregnancy and affect your judgment? It's better to calm down and don't do anything that will make you regret. It's a pity that you are so good and retire so early."

"I think so. "It's very clear," Sheng Meiyun looked at her depressed and patient expression and said, "You are the one who needs to calm down."

Lin Wei thought, if this was true when she was young, she would probably start a quarrel.

Okay, you are only in your thirties and you want to return to your family. What do you think?

But she wasn't going to quarrel with a pregnant woman.

She really needed to calm down, and the anger in her heart couldn't help but surge up. No matter in the past life or now, it was difficult for her to accept the departure of talents.

Lin Wei finally ran to the rooftop of the hospital to calm down.

But it's hard to calm down. People who have been cultivated with great difficulty have to start from scratch wherever they can catch the second one.

The only consolation is that there is still time. Hezi may not be able to resume business until next year. There is no need to worry during this period.

She doesn't have to go to school now, and there is really no one, so she can take care of it herself.

Furthermore, it is not as difficult for Hezi to recruit people now as before. Many people are trying to get in, but the territory of Hong Kong City is still too small and the talents are limited.

It would be great if everyone was like Ji Chengjun, who is obsessed with making money, never stops, has lofty ambitions, and is never satisfied.

Lin Wei sat on the stone on the rooftop in a daze. Apart from being a colleague, Sheng Meiyun was also her friend. She could not accept that her friend was alienating her for the sake of family.

In the last life, many of her friends had lost their relationship with her in this way.

Once the focus of a person's life changes, interpersonal relationships will also change.

The wind picked up.

Lin Wei couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

She suddenly felt warm and had an extra layer of clothing on her body.

Looking back, I found it was Wu Ming.

Lin Wei was stunned for a moment, her thoughts drifting away for a moment. Wu Ming was the only one who stayed with her in her last life and never left.

Neither of them are married, Lin Wei has never met the right person, and Wu Ming is a non-marriage person.

For a moment, Lin Wei wanted to ask him if he would stay with her in this life and never leave.

But I guess the other person will be frightened by her.

She doesn't like separation and always likes to bring people around her together.

The more this happens, the less perfect it becomes.

"Why are you here alone?" Wu Ming looked at her.

"Why are you here?"

Wu Ming sat on the stone bench: "I'm afraid that you and Song Ye will be angry. If you don't get him medicine, his throat will be speechless."

Hearing Song Ye's name, Lin Wei turned her head, and after a while, she said, "Sheng Meiyun is leaving."

Then she told Wu Ming about Sheng Meiyun.

Wu Ming said "Ah" and said, "It's normal. Everyone has their own ambitions. There's no need to force it."

Lin Wei looked into the distance and sighed faintly: "When I started my business in the early days, I especially didn't understand why my employees didn't You like to work overtime, get paid, and get promoted if you do well. Why are you so lazy and don't know how to work hard? "

Wu Ming was speechless: "You have a capitalist mentality, no wonder you like to squeeze me."

Lin Wei did not refute him. , and then said: "Later someone told me that this is because of the misplacement of identity. Identity and position determine the direction of a person's thinking. I am just a part-time worker. There is no need to work for you day and night. I think it makes sense. Later, I had some physical problems, and I realized that such intensity of work would be too much for my body and mind, so I slowly began to relax my requirements for employees."

Wu Ming was stunned and asked, "What's wrong with your health?"

Lin Wei did not answer him and continued: "But just now I discovered that maybe it is not just because of the difference in our locations, nor is it just a health problem, but more likely because of different concepts, different pursuits, and different understandings of happiness. It’s different. Some people think that having a successful career, being rich and powerful is happiness, and some people think that having a happy family and having children is happiness. Different pursuits have different standards."

Wu Ming looked at her with a complicated expression: "You are the same. " It's a profound thought."

"I understand now why...some people say I'm pitiful. It's hard for people to accept people who have different ideas from their own. I think they are failures and live too mediocre. They think I'm pitiful." With only money left, no children, and no love from a man, whether it’s worth it or not, whether you are happy or not depends on your own feelings and your own standards. You should not be bound by other people’s standards. After that, Lin Wei felt that the most important thing is to be happy. It actually made sense, and he nodded, confirming his remarks.

She decided to forgive Sheng Meijun for being different from her. After all, she wanted to be a tolerant person.

If you want to leave, just leave. It's not sweet to force yourself.

"You came here to understand life?" Wu Ming looked at her with a look of disbelief on his face, "How can you think so deeply in just a short while?" Sheng Meiyun said that she had only been out for a while.

Lin Wei stood up, clapped the dirt on her hands, and said, "Let's go back."

Wu Ming smiled. This man could comfort himself. He thought she would hide and cry on her own.

"Hurry up, we need to prescribe medicine."

When Wu Ming followed, she said: "Before you leave, find a few more people to keep an eye on the stocks of Kowloon Airlines and see who owns the stock.

" In March, the war in the Middle East broke out, blocking the Suez Canal, lengthening the route, and increasing global demand for oil tankers.

The shipping tycoons in the port city began to purchase oil tankers one after another, and brought back many ships from Britain and Japan, including Yuan Guodong, who bought many more ships in order to maintain his title of shipping king.

Lin Wei estimated that his cash flow was also tight.

Then how can we develop the aviation industry in Kowloon?

What a great opportunity. At this time, building prices are falling and stocks are heading towards all-time lows every day.

Mrs. Eaton failed to live up to expectations. First, she lost tens of millions at the fashion show, and then spent a heavy sum of 500 million to purchase debt-for-equity swaps. Now the real estate has plummeted, and Fusheng has suffered huge losses. There are holes everywhere, and the cash flow will definitely not be able to turn over.

If a takeover war breaks out, she won't be able to cry.

If Yuan Guodong doesn't come, then she will come in person.

She could not miss any of the three great gifts agreed upon.

"Why don't you look for Song Ye? He's even more..."

Before Wu Ming could finish his words, he was bumped into.

"Sorry." He apologized subconsciously.

But the next moment, he froze.

The same goes for Lin Wei. The two of them looked at the girl who passed by them.

Qin Sixin?

Why is she here?

Lin Wei has not seen Qin Sixin for a long time. After the start of school, Qin Sixin rarely comes to school. Her absence from class is more serious than during the goddess activities. Her position as monitor has also been removed, and the teacher in charge of academic affairs has issued a warning and intends to expel her. She did.

Everyone said it was the goddess competition that changed her and made her so big-hearted that she could no longer sit down and study.

Wu Ming watched Qin Sixin walk to the rooftop in a daze, looking like she was out of her mind.

"What's wrong with her?"

Lin Wei shook her head. The next moment, she said in shock: "Quick, stop her."
