Miss you
The shadows of a man and a woman were dimly visible behind the glass. Shen Shiting couldn't see the woman's face, but she knew she was wearing a short trouser suit.
"Brother Zheng? Brother Zheng?"
Shen Shiting called softly, Wen Zheng hid his displeasure and came back to his senses: “Nothing, when will Mr. Shen come over?”
"It should be soon." Shen Shiting stared at Wen Zheng's handsome profile, a sweet ripple in her heart, she bit her lip slightly and sat down beside him.
She met Wen Zheng in the United States, when she attended Goldman Sachs' Asian New Economy Leaders Dinner. Among so many people, she fell in love with him at first sight.
Although Wen Zheng is eight years older than her, she doesn't feel the age difference at all. On the contrary, she likes Wen Zheng's mature temperament very much, which is much better than those young boys in her university.
Originally, she had no chance to meet him. By chance, she found out that Wen Zheng was looking for someone to sell the shipping assets of LUMINOVA Group. Her father happened to be in the shipping business and had enough qualifications and funds to take over the assets, so she took the initiative to introduce them to each other.
The footsteps came closer from the direction of the corridor. Shen Shiting stood up quickly and said to Shen Shichen who came in, "Dad."
Shen Shichen nodded slightly, glanced at Wen Zheng again, and said with a smile: "Mr. Wen, I have heard a lot about you."

Xia Tangyue was restless, unable to sit or stand still.
He Ruicai said: "I'll go and take a look, you wait here for me."
"Then I'll go with you."
"Don't." He Ruicai glanced at her and said, "Just wait for me here. If I'm stopped, you can still find a way to get close to him."
"No, wait a moment, let me think about it."
Xia Tangyue shook her head, sat on the ground, frowned slightly, and looked at a point in the distance with unfocused eyes. Until a thought suddenly flashed through her mind, she raised her head and looked at He Ruicai.
“Got it!”
She stood up again, took out her cell phone from her pocket, flipped to Zhu Shang's number, and said to herself: There's no other way, I hope your name works!
-
Shen Shichen glanced calmly at Shen Shiting, who was sitting shyly next to Wen Zheng, and then looked at Wen Zheng.
Before today's meeting, he made a point to learn about Wen Zheng's past.
The eldest son of LUMINOVA Group founder Li Cang who just adopted him some time ago, although this identity sounds a bit unpresentable, his past resume is perfect. He studied for a bachelor's, master's and doctoral degree, and obtained a double degree from Harvard. He interned at Goldman Sachs' Asian investment banking department in his early years. After returning to China, he joined Yaoying and led Yaoying to advance rapidly in the domestic market, firmly sitting on the top spot of new energy vehicles, and served as the president of Greater China. Not only does he have a top business mind and decisive courage, he also looks gentle and talented.
Yaoying has not been peaceful in the past two years. The top management has changed several times. The position of president has been changed from Li Yao to Li Cang, but it has not been able to pull Yaoying back from its decline. Now Wen Zheng has been replaced again. Under such internal and external troubles, Yaoying is heavily in debt and short of funds. Wen Zheng came to him at this time, probably because he wanted to sell the group's assets as soon as possible to give Yaoying a transfusion.
Um……
This business can be done. Wen Zheng is in a hurry to make a move, so he can take the opportunity to lower the price. I believe he won't care too much.
Shen Shichen: "Mr. Wen, you are well aware of the current market conditions. Your price is definitely not what I want..."
Wen Zheng knew exactly what Shen Shichen was planning, but he was not here to give away money today.
He smiled and stared into Shen Shichen's cloudy eyes: "Boss Shen, how about we exchange resources?"
Shen Shichen was a little surprised: "I'd like to hear more details."
Wen Zheng: "I will mortgage this shipping asset to you in the name of the group, on the condition that it is all the shipping orders of Yaoying New Energy Vehicles in the next three years, and the priority loading and unloading rights of Shen's Port."
Shen Shichen widened his eyes slightly, but soon calmed down.
Wen Zheng's move was to bind him to long-term cooperation, to solve Yaoying's transportation cost problem, and at the same time to ensure that Yaoying's export vehicles would not be delayed in delivery due to port congestion. By using "mortgage" instead of "sale", the possibility of asset redemption would be retained.
He had misjudged her. This person was much more cunning than he seemed. Shi Ting said that she took the initiative to invite Wen Zheng to discuss cooperation, but judging from the current situation, it was clear that Wen Zheng had set his sights on the Shen family from the beginning, and Shi Ting was just a pawn for him to get close to him.
Just as I was hesitating, a phone call came in.
Shen Shichen secretly breathed a sigh of relief and took the opportunity to answer the phone and went out.
"Hello?"
“…”
Listening to the voice on the other end of the phone, Shen Shichen became more and more silent. What happened today? Another person came and said he wanted to exchange resources with him?
Xia Tangyue was invited up by Shen Shichen's assistant.
Shen Shichen was saying goodbye to Wen Zheng: "Mr. Wen, your proposal involves a major strategic cooperation between the two companies. I need to convene an interim board meeting. For the specific follow-up, please wait for our official letter."
Wen Zheng said calmly: "It's okay, I'll wait for good news."
Xia Tangyue looked at Wen Zheng in astonishment when he appeared here.
He was dressed differently today than usual, not wearing a director's suit, but a black short-sleeved stand-up collar polo shirt, paired with white casual trousers, and a pair of gold-rimmed glasses on his face, which made him look like a nobleman in a tennis club instead of a business tycoon. For a moment, she felt like she didn't know him.
She stared at him blankly. They hadn't seen each other for such a long time, and the unexpected meeting made her throat tight and she couldn't say anything.
Wen Zheng obviously noticed her, but he behaved normally, without any emotional behavior. His eyes, as calm as frost, quietly measured the distance between her and the man beside her.
A woman's intuition told Shen Shiting that Wen Zheng was a little abnormal. Her eyes shuttled back and forth between Xia Tangyue and Wen Zheng. As her alarm bells rang, she deliberately leaned towards Wen Zheng, pretending to sprain her ankle and hugged Wen Zheng's waist.
"Sorry, I didn't stand steadily." Chen Shiting held Wen Zheng's arm and said, "Brother Zheng, why don't we have dinner together tonight? What do you like to eat? I'll go find a restaurant." "Dinner together tonight? What do you like to eat? I'll arrange it."
Chen Shiting spoke a bunch of words in a delicate Cantonese, with a coquettish tone at the end. Xia Tangyue didn't understand a word. She knew that the other party did it on purpose, and wanted to use this method to protest against her. But why was Wen Zheng so familiar with her, what was their relationship? Why was he also in Hong Kong?
All kinds of anger and grievances accumulated in Xia Tangyue's heart, and she clenched her fists silently. Now is not the time to question these things, she has more important things to do.
Whoosh—whoosh—
She took a deep breath to calm herself down and greeted Shen Shichen with a smile.
"Hello, I am a representative of Zhu International, and I would like to discuss cooperation with you."
Shen Shichen nodded slightly, thinking of the strange phone call just now.
As both of them were influential figures in the collecting world, he had never had any interaction with Zhu Shang, nor did he understand where Zhu Shang got his contact information. The content of their chat was quite abrupt and straightforward, as he directly asked for his "Night Rain on the Wutong Tree".
Xia Tangyue handed the invitation letter to Shen Shichen: "Mr. Shen must have heard of this kind of international competition. We want to complement Mr. Shen's resources. I wonder if we can borrow your "Night Rain on Wutong" for exhibition?"
Shen Shichen paused, stared at Xia Tangyue and asked, "Boss Zhu said on the phone that you are the general manager of Zhu's International Business Department?"
Xia Tangyue nodded quickly, and said to He Ruicai beside him: "This is my assistant."
Shen Shichen: “Oh.”
“…”
An hour later the deal was concluded.
Xia Tangyue held his breath and quickly walked out of the exhibition center, away from Shen Shichen's sight.
She is not a general manager at all. She is just talking nonsense under the banner of Zhu Shang! Fortunately, Shen Shichen is willing to save Zhu's face, otherwise there would be no cooperation to discuss.
"Tang Yue, you are so smart and brave!" He Ruicai was as nervous as she was. It was not until he walked out of the door and stood in front of the golden bauhinia statue that he dared to speak in a normal voice.
Xia Tangyue patted his chest and let out a long breath: "In an emergency, we must take emergency measures."
"The task is now successfully completed. Let's go eat yesterday's egg waffles. You liked them, right? Why not try them again before we leave?" He Ruicai said with a smile.
A cold voice suddenly came from behind Xia Tangyue - "What egg waffles? Why don't you take me with you?"
