In Chen Xu's opinion, this could only have been done by Luo Zhenghai. If Yang Jinxia really wanted to contact him, why would she leave a note? His phone number and WeChat were not changed.

So, when he saw the note, he knew it was most likely a trap and tore it up.

He didn't keep the note because it had Yang Jinxia's name on it. In his experience, women are very curious creatures, and once they know his ex-girlfriend's name, they are likely to ask about her.

By then, countless troubles will arise. She may not be able to help but ask, who is prettier, your ex-girlfriend or me? How did you pursue her? Why did you break up?

Even if she could resist asking, she couldn't help but think so in her heart.

If she didn't know the name, his ex-girlfriend was just a concept. Knowing the name, the image of the other party would become clear and specific, and the feeling in her heart would be completely different.

Therefore, he never mentioned anything about Yang Jinxia in front of Luo Xiyun, because mentioning these things would not benefit their relationship at all.

…………

Just as Secretary Jin expected, two days later, Jiang Yan contacted Chen Xu again and started the second round of negotiations.

This time, Secretary Jin was still the main person in charge, and Chen Xu gave her full trust.

The discussion lasted a whole day, and the content of the cooperation made some breakthrough progress.

Chen Xu listened to the various suggestions made by the two women and was truly eye-opening. The way of cooperation was something he had never thought of before.

Jiang Yan suggested that they could set up a company, with her and Chen Xu each holding half of the shares. They could put the brand and formula in this company, and then this company could jointly establish a new chain brand company with Jinyun.

Chen Xu was stunned. Isn't this a blatant attempt to steal from Jinyun Group? Would Jinyun Group agree? Even if Jiang Yan was Cai Hong's biological daughter, she would be held accountable if she did such a thing and was discovered by Jinyun Group. Maybe her mother would be implicated as well.

When the negotiations were over, after Chen Xu sent Jiang Yan away, he couldn't help but ask Secretary Jin, "Is it really possible to do this?"

Secretary Kim said, “This is the only way for you to gain control of the company. Giving up some shares is a necessary price.”

"I'm worried that Jinyun Group will find out what's going on here, and then we'll be in trouble."

Secretary Jin said, "Boss, don't worry. Since Jiang Yan dared to take the initiative to propose it, he must be very sure. What we should worry about more is that when the company becomes bigger in the future, they will tear up the agreement and use the advantage of shares to drive us out."

Chen Xu couldn't help but feel a little unsure when he heard her say this. Could it be that this was a basic operation in the mall? If this was really the case, it really taught him a lesson.

According to Jiang Yan's plan, he would not be able to hold a controlling stake in either company, although Jiang Yan promised that he would not interfere with operations as long as there were no major problems with the company.

Even if Chen Xu didn't understand the routines in the business world, he knew that the so-called promises were worthless in the face of major interests. It wouldn't be too difficult to circumvent such an agreement.

He asked, “What do you suggest?”

"The most common practice they use is to use their financial advantage to dilute your equity by increasing capital. It's simple, but very effective."

Secretary Jin reminded, "However, in the initial stage, there is no need to worry that they will do so. They will only take action when the company shows good development momentum and they find it profitable."

Chen Xu nodded, thoughtfully, "That is to say, we still have time."

"Yes." Secretary Jin added, "If you marry Mr. Luo by then, these will no longer be a problem. Instead, they will be the ones to worry about."

Chen Xu couldn't help but laugh, it was indeed very real.

…………

The top floor office of Jinxiu Investment.

Yang Jinxia stood in front of the dartboard, looking at the darts stuck on it in a mess, shook her head and said, "Darts are really not that easy to practice. I feel like I've regressed again."

An assistant stood nearby and said, "You have made rapid progress. It may be that you were not in the best condition today."

At this time, someone knocked on the door.

She said, "Come in."

The person who came in was her driver, Sister Lin.

"You go out first." Yang Jinxia said to the assistant.

After the assistant left, Sister Lin handed over a document and said, "This is the latest situation on Jinyun's side."

"Sit down."

After Yang Jinxia took it, she walked to the sofa and sat down, flipping through it. After a while, she suddenly exclaimed, and after a while, she read the entire document and wondered, "How could he go to such an extent? Could it be that my niece gave him some advice?"

Without waiting for Sister Lin to speak, she shook her head again and said, "No, she still lacks some experience and probably doesn't understand the twists and turns here. That guy, won't go to find Liu Kun?"

Sister Lin said, "The person who talked to Jinyun was a young woman named Jin, who used to be Luo Xiyun's secretary."

After a while, she said, "By the way, please check the information of this Secretary Jin."

"good."

"Well, then you go out first."

Sister Lin stood up, hesitated for a moment, and asked, "Today is Monday, are you going to the hospital tonight?"

"Why not?"

Sister Lin reminded, "But, Luo Zhenghai..."

Yang Jinxia smiled and said, "What does Luo Zhenghai's arrangement have to do with me? I go to see my grandma every Monday night. This is a schedule that has already been arranged."

"I understand." Sister Lin said and left.

Yang Jinxia was the only one left in the office. She walked to the mirror, looked at herself in the mirror, and said to herself, "Which dress should I wear to visit grandma tonight?"

…………

At around five in the afternoon, Chen Xu drove to pick up Luo Xiyun from get off work, just like he did in the previous few days.

"Let me drive."

After the two went downstairs, Luo Xiyun suddenly said, "I want to take you to a place."

Chen Xu asked curiously, "Where?"

"You'll know when you get there." Luo Xiyun changed into a pair of flat shoes and sat in the driver's seat.

"So mysterious?" Chen Xu got into the car, said with a smile, and fastened his seat belt.

When the car was halfway through the journey, Chen Xu had a familiar feeling, and the further he went, the stronger the feeling became.

He already knew where she was taking him.

When the car stopped in front of the villa, Chen Xu looked at the gate that was extremely familiar yet somewhat strange, feeling a mixture of emotions in his heart.

In the dream, they lived in this house for nearly three months. It was also here that they made a breakthrough in their reconciliation and relationship.

The difference from the dream is that it is now midsummer, and the surrounding area is shaded by green trees. Both the outer walls and the gate are very clean.

"Do you want to go in and take a look?" Luo Xiyun asked.

Chen Xu unbuckled his seat belt, opened the door and got out of the car. Seeing Luo Xiyun took out the key and opened the door, he couldn't help but say, "Here..."

Luo Xiyun smiled without answering, took his hand and walked inside.

There was a tree in the yard with lush leaves. In the dream, the tree had long been frozen to death, leaving only a dead trunk.

Stepping into the villa again, Chen Xu's heart was filled with countless memories of this place.

Luo Xiyun opened the door, and the layout inside was exactly the same as he remembered. In the dream, every moment they had spent together came flooding back to his mind.

“At first, I thought it was all a dream.”

Luo Xiyun's voice was filled with excitement. "Until I came back here, everything was exactly the same as in my dream. I knew it was all real."

Chen Xu pulled her into his arms, with an indescribable feeling in his heart, and said in her ear, "I should have come to you earlier."

"It's not too late now, is it?"

Chen Xu thought of Bai Jinxuan who had already returned to China, and sighed silently.

Ding ding bells...

At this moment, a shrill telephone ring sounded.

Luo Xiyun left his arms, picked up the phone, and said, "It's Liu Kun calling." Then, he picked up the phone, "Xiyun, it's not good, Mr. Luo is in the hospital."

PS: Today is my birthday, so I'm celebrating with flowers. Then I'm going out to eat with my family in the evening, so the next chapter will be a little late.
