"Am I good?"
When Fu Hansheng met her eyes seeking praise, he felt sweeter in his heart than eating cotton candy.
"good."
Lin Xiaotang was just about to take the opportunity to act coquettishly when her cell phone rang. She glanced at the caller ID and the smile on her face was replaced by seriousness.
Lin Xiaotang gestured to Fu Hansheng and went to a place with fewer people to answer the phone.
Fu Hansheng narrowed his eyes, walked to the child and looked at the route they had planned.
When he looked back, Lin Xiaotang was gone.
Fu Hansheng received the message: [You guys play first, I'll find you later. ]
Fu Hansheng's brows ached. There were so many customers, and she tried to avoid them, but it was really hard to find the place.
Lin Xiaotang, who was hard to find, was not far from them, standing on a rockery and looking at the people below.
Beside him stood a man in a suit, looking out of place in this joyful environment.
"Ms. Lin, long time no see."
"Mr. Zhou, how are you?"
Zhou Jincheng narrowed his eyes slightly, and the teardrop mole at the corner of his eye made him look even colder.
Lin Xiaotang felt that he was completely different from what she remembered.
The environment can really make a person, but it can also destroy a young man with a clear mind and bright moon.
Zhou Jincheng raised his thin lips into a beautiful arc, put the marshmallow on the stick, turned it on his fingertips, and handed the marshmallow to Lin Xiaotang.
Lin Xiaotang smiled politely, "My husband said that children can't eat coloring and sugar."
Zhou Jincheng was surprised, "You seem to have changed."
Lin Xiaotang put her hands behind her back and looked at her husband and children below, her eyes becoming more gentle, "People will always change. No matter what they become, as long as they satisfy themselves, that's fine."
After a pause, Lin Xiaotang got down to business. She made an appointment to meet Zhou Jincheng not to be his spiritual mentor.
People like them are not suitable for drinking chicken soup.
"Mr. Zhou now has Sunrise in his hands. We can talk about cooperation."
Zhou Jincheng's eyes fell on the marshmallows and colorful flowers. They looked beautiful but also useless.
Marshmallows fell from the rockery, covered the ground with mud, and were entangled by weeds and dead branches.
Lin Xiaotang lowered her eyes and said nothing, but she was sure that Zhou Jincheng had arrived a long time ago and had been paying attention to them.
As a married woman, she must ensure her loyalty to the marriage and not accept the ambiguity of such small gifts from other men. This is basic etiquette.
She believed that Fu Hansheng would be the same.
"President Lin has terminated the [Gold Inlaid Jade] project. I don't know if there are any other cooperative projects."
There was still a faint smile on Lin Xiaotang's face.
She didn't have her usual cold make-up on her face, but her aura was not weaker at all.
"Whether it's gold inlaid with jade or silver inlaid with jade, it doesn't matter. What's important is that we can develop a whole new series of cooperation."
Zhou Jincheng raised his eyebrows, "I'm all ears."
"Zhou's gold is made using ancient methods, and Lin's jade has always been a high-end series. I want to create a new way of playing that is suitable for young people, a series that can dominate the market in terms of both craftsmanship and price."
Lin Xiaotang was not afraid that Zhou Jincheng would reject her here, so she started to seize the market first. After all, the Lin Group held the largest jade mine.
All imported jade will pass through the Lin Group, so anyone who makes a big move will be able to keep it from her.
Similarly, the Zhou family's ancient gold processing and gold craftsmanship are also top-notch.
The cooperation between the two companies is definitely more than just a thread covering the entire country.
Lin Xiaotang explained it so clearly, how could someone like Zhou Jincheng not understand?
He looked at Lin Xiaotang, and his eyes changed from admiration to respect.
It's a pity for a woman like this to have such a useless man.
"Of the ten famous jade production areas, your Lin family holds seven. It would be inappropriate not to cooperate with you."
He has always been optimistic about the gold inlaid jade series. If he wants to get good raw materials, he has to purchase them from the Lin Group.
Should they develop together, or be a younger brother and follow behind to eat other people's leftovers? Zhou Jincheng chose to stand on an equal footing with Lin Xiaotang.
"Well, President Lin, happy cooperation."
"Chairman Zhou, you're too polite. Let's win together!"
Lin Xiaotang didn't expect Zhou Jincheng to agree so readily. She thought that the Zhou family had just experienced turmoil and Zhou Jincheng would choose to recuperate for a while.
However, she could also understand that a new official would have three big things to do upon taking office. He had to produce results that could silence the gossips of the public in order to suppress those restless thoughts.
Lin Xiaotang looked down and saw Fu Hansheng squatting beside the two children, listening patiently to what Sixian and Siqi said, nodding from time to time, giving a word or two, and taking out his mobile phone to check the time.
Lin Xiaotang knew that he was waiting for her.
"I'll ask my assistant to make another appointment with Chairman Zhou."
The specific matters of cooperation require concrete things to be produced, rather than being decided by just two people talking about it verbally.
In their circle, that's how it is: meet up, come up with a project, think it's feasible, then come up with something practical.
Zhou Jincheng nodded and fell silent again.
Lin Xiaotang always felt that he seemed to have something to say but had not said it. Last night, Zhou Jincheng took the initiative to send her a message saying that he wanted to meet. She also wanted to meet Zhou Jincheng to discuss cooperation, so she told him the location of the amusement park and asked him to contact her when he came.
But now that she had finished her story, Zhou Jincheng seemed to have something to hide and remained silent.
Lin Xiaotang's heart and eyes were filled with Fu Hansheng and the child. Just when she thought Zhou Jincheng would not say anything and was about to leave, Zhou Jincheng sighed.
"Thank you, Tang."
This is a personal thank you.
It has nothing to do with the daughter of the Lin family and the son of the Zhou family.
It also has nothing to do with the president of the Lin Group and the chairman of Zhou Jia Risheng’s company.
It was Zhou Jincheng who expressed his gratitude to Lin Xiaotang.
Lin Xiaotang quickly understood what he was thanking her for.
"Shu Ya targeted my son. In this matter, I am just a mother."
——So, no need to thank me. The grudge between Shuya and I is our private matter, and the matter between you and Zhou Tianci is your family affair. There is no conflict and no involvement between us.
Lin Xiaotang took a clear stance and distanced herself from those things.
Zhou Jincheng smiled helplessly. How could he not see that Lin Xiaotang was keeping a distance from him?
But one thing that must be admitted is that Lin Xiaotang's treatment of Shu Ya did give him an advantage.
However, Lin Xiaotang didn't want to be involved in these things, so he just didn't say anything.
As for what outsiders think, that is their business.
“Mommy——”
Siqi cupped her hands to her mouth and shouted in the direction of Lin Xiaotang.
Sixian was waving his little arms beside him.
Lin Xiaotang's heart skipped a beat. She and Zhou Jincheng had nothing wrong with each other, so there was nothing wrong with them meeting.
The problem is, she promised to go out and play with her family today, but she still had to take some time off to talk about work, and she was afraid that Fu Hansheng would be unhappy.
