Chapter 73
After taking the photo of the diamond, Zhou Qingyu's mood immediately became very good, and she even ate half a bowl more of rice.
After the meal, she and Yan Xi exchanged glances, and they both glanced at Zhou Yanci at the same time.
When it comes to buying shares, you have to avoid Zhou Yanci. He's easily soft-hearted. If he knows the details, what will happen if he goes to clean up the mess for Meng's company? With Zhou Yanci's ability, even if Meng Xuanyu poked a hole in the sky, he can probably fix it.
Before Meng Xuanyu tells Meng Yingrong about the matter, the two of them must take action first!
The system hesitated: [Host... is it not good to hide this from my brother? ] The system's values follow the appearance of the face, and it is partial to good-looking people.
"What's wrong with that?" Yan Xi didn't care. "Zhou Yanci doesn't have any shares in Meng's company. He has been helping Meng's company for free before. The shares in Meng Yingrong's hands will only be given to Meng Xuanyu in the end."
"If Zhou can control Meng's company, then they can clean up the mess later. Zhou Yanci will also work for Zhou. This is a good thing!"
The system thought about it and was successfully fooled.
Yes, if you want to be a free laborer, you should be your own free laborer!
Yan Xi and Zhou Qingyu exchanged glances and went their separate ways.
Yan Xi was responsible for sending Zhou Yanci away, while Zhou Qingyu took the information to convince Zhou's father to discuss the acquisition plan!
Fortunately, Zhou Yanci was easy to talk to. Yan Xi said that Zhou Yanci should do rehabilitation training after being discharged from the hospital to avoid muscle atrophy caused by sitting for a long time, and Zhou Yanci did not refuse.
In the open space by the lake, Yan Xi supported Zhou Yanci.
Zhou Yanci was leaning on a cane, the red sandalwood cane was deep and shiny. A breeze blew over the lake, sparkling the water and blowing away the summer heat and restlessness.
While Yan Xi was helping Zhou Yanci with rehabilitation, she was curious about Zhou Qingyu's progress.
The system demonstrated its unparalleled ability to eat melons, quietly telling Yan Xi what was going on over there—
[The eldest lady has already told Jay Chou about the plan to acquire the Meng family! Jay Chou feels that the Meng family is his former in-laws after all, so he is very hesitant! ]
[The young lady took out the DNA report! ]
【A slaying! A slaying!】
[Oh, Jay Chou was so angry that he smashed the ashtray! That ashtray is worth more than 500,000 yuan! ]
Yan Xi is very satisfied with this progress.
Zhou's father is so angry that he probably won't care about his former in-laws anymore, so the acquisition is a sure thing.
Originally, the Meng family had been poorly managed in recent years and would have gone bankrupt long ago if it weren't for Zhou Yanci.
Yan Xi heard from Special Assistant Sun that Zhou Yanci once made a development plan for Meng's company for the next five years, but Meng went his own way and did not follow this plan.
Yan Xi felt that the Meng family was stupid. Although Zhou's father was the business tycoon who made Zhou's family the richest man in Haicheng, Zhou Yanci maintained this status for five years. Today, when the real estate industry is sluggish and the IT industry is booming, he quickly seized the opportunity. Zhou's family has shares in major social platforms, and the proportion is not small. It was because Zhou Yanci invested in these companies when they were still small seedlings!
Do you think you can sit firmly on the throne of the leader just by relying on the real estate foundation established by Zhou's father?
Dreaming!
Even the plot is known. If you want to destroy Zhou Qingyu, you should kill Zhou Yanci first. How could Meng not understand? Holding such a golden thigh, she played her good cards badly.
Yan Xi shook her head. Some people are too short-sighted.
After a few minutes of rehabilitation, Zhou Yanci discovered that although Yan Xi was supporting him, she was obviously absent-minded.
She was in a daze again.
Her hand was on Zhou Yanci's arm, and she forgot to use force. Her eyes moved around smartly but without focus. A tuft of hair hung on her head, swaying gently in the wind.
Zhou Yanci subconsciously reached out and tried to tuck the strand of hair behind her ear.
Yan Xi was startled and leaned back, pulling Zhou Yanci.
Zhou Yanci almost fell down, but fortunately he had a cane in his hand and one intact leg to steady himself. He was even able to use his free hand to hold Yan Xi's waist to prevent her from bumping into the fence behind him.
Yan Xi was nervous, "Zhou Yanci, are you okay?"
Zhou Yanci leaned on Yan Xi and let Yan Xi support him.
"Rehabilitation is too hard. I guess my body is not good enough. Let's forget it."
"How can that be possible!"
Yan Xi just complained that the Meng family didn't understand his golden thigh. She had to help Zhou Qingyu stabilize Zhou Yanci. The plot was always keeping an eye on them, and Zhou Yanci's health was very important.
"It must be because you didn't train before. You almost fell just now!" Yan Xi thought for a moment, "How about this, I will supervise your rehabilitation every night until you are fully recovered!"
Zhou Yanci thought for a moment and agreed reluctantly.
The moment Yan Xi's gaze moved away, a smile flashed in his eyes.
——
After rehabilitation for a while, Yan Xi helped Zhou Yanci to the waterside pavilion to rest.
The two of them sat on the lounge chairs in the waterside pavilion. Yan Xi closed her eyes and felt the cool night breeze. The natural wind was always more comfortable than the air-conditioned wind. There was also the smell of lake water and plants in the air.
Zhou Yanci turned his head and his eyes fell on Yan Xi's white wrist.
Yan Xi suddenly felt a cold touch on her wrist. She opened her eyes and saw Zhou Yanci holding her wrist and putting a bracelet full of pink diamonds on her.
"It's a matter of reciprocity." Zhou Yanci said.
Zhou Yanci was wearing a black French shirt today, with his cuffs folded in half and the snowflake cufflinks Yan Xi gave him.
But this cufflink is only 10,000 RMB. Yan Xi looked at the bracelet full of pink diamonds, each of which was one carat, with a total of ten diamonds, and the price was over 10 million RMB.
To round it off, she has an apartment in Haicheng City on her hand!
"This is too expensive! It's inappropriate!"
Yan Xi quickly took off the pink diamond bracelet.
Zhou Yanci held her back and said, "It's M's new fall product. It's our own stuff. It doesn't cost much."
Yan Xi blinked her eyes. "New product from M?"
Zhou Yanci: “Yeah.”
[Host, I scanned it, it's a high-quality imitation. ]
[M's bracelet is a lottery-level pink diamond, which costs about 1 million RMB per carat. However, it is a high-quality imitation, artificial diamond, and the price of the whole bracelet will not exceed 1 million.]
Yan Xi: “…”
Very good, without any effort, we got strong evidence to defeat the Meng family!
Meng's has a technology in the high-end luxury world that other luxury brands can't even dream of, which is their anti-counterfeit code, which has not been broken by high-end imitations so far. Therefore, to check whether M's products are authentic, just check the anti-counterfeit code.
Meng Xuanyu dared to use high-quality imitations instead of genuine products because he mastered the technology of anti-counterfeiting codes. The high-quality imitations he chose were also high-end goods that could rival the genuine products. Unless you spend money to send them to an institution for inspection, it would be difficult to distinguish the authenticity even if you sent them to the counter.
Yan Xi had no interest in the pink diamond bracelet, after all, it was too expensive and she felt unworthy of it. But now that she knew it was one of the evidences that could bring down Meng Xuanyu, her eyes lit up.
Who said this thing is only worth a million?
In Yan Xi's opinion, this bracelet is worth hundreds of millions.
Zhou Yanci was worried that Yan Xi would refuse again, so he asked tentatively, "Do you like it?"
Yan Xi didn't hesitate, "I love it!"
There was a smile on her lips and her eyes were curved into crescents.
Seeing Yan Xi's smile, Zhou Yanci's heart was suddenly filled with sweetness.
——
In the study, Zhou Qingyu successfully convinced Zhou's father.
Zhou's father provided the funds, and Zhou Qingyu was responsible for acquiring shares. Although Zhou Qingyu knew nothing about business, fortunately Yu Xiao and Yao Chi could be in charge.
Coming out of the study, Zhou Qingyu felt relieved.
The incident happened not long ago, Meng Yingrong didn't know about it, and there was no time to recall the high-end imitations distributed in various stores. These few days are the best time for them to take action!
Zhou Qingyu couldn't wait to tell Yan Xi the news.
She found Yan Xi in the pavilion by the lake.
With a fixed gaze, Zhou Qingyu clearly saw that Zhou Yanci and Yan Xi were talking and laughing, and the salty pig hand was holding Yan Xi's hand.
Aaaaaaaaaaaaah!
The old man really wants to take action against my best friend!
Zhou Qingyu took a step forward and inserted herself between the two of them!
"What are you doing? What are you doing? Zhou Yanci, control yourself! Don't touch a little girl casually!" Zhou Qingyu looked at Yan Xi again, "You too, how can you let a man touch your hand casually!"
Do you know he is seducing you? Silly child!
Zhou Yanci said nothing and ignored Zhou Qingyu who suddenly appeared.
Yan Xi, on the other hand, proudly stretched out her hand to show Zhou Qingyue the pink diamond necklace.
"Look!"
Zhou Qingyu was so disappointed that she tapped her forehead and said, "Why are you so ignorant? You are bought by a pink diamond necklace? I can give you ten!"
Yan Xi smiled, "No, look at this trademark, this is M's new autumn product!"
Zhou Qingyu: "What's wrong with the M family? I can give you the B family! They are the kings of the jewelry world!"
Yan Xi lowered her voice, "M's! New products! The latest batch! Have you forgotten?"
Zhou Qingyu was stunned.
She held Yan Xi's wrist and looked carefully, and sure enough, she saw a small M logo.
This kind of high-end luxury has a brand premium. Take pink diamonds for example. Ten one-carat pink diamonds are worth 10 million. If you add the brand effect, workmanship and jewelry design, it is estimated that it will sell for 20 million.
Meng Xuanyu used 100 million yuan worth of new products to pay off his debts, and they just got 1/5 of it?
"Are you sure it's a high imitation?" Zhou Qingyu asked in a low voice.
"Sure!" The system has confirmed it.
Zhou Qingyu was overjoyed. She wanted to laugh but couldn't show it, so she had to hold it in.
They are so lucky!
But it's true. Zhou Yanci wanted to pursue Yan Xi, so giving her a bracelet worth 20 million was just a drop in the bucket. But he himself didn't even know that he gave her a high-end imitation.
The first time Zhou Yanci pursued someone, he gave her a high-quality imitation. Just this matter could make Zhou Qingyu laugh for the rest of her life!
Zhou Qingyu glanced at Yan Xi again.
Sure enough, the girl was innocent. After receiving the bracelet worth 20 million yuan, she was still thinking about work. She didn't know that this was Zhou Yanci's way of pursuing her! The aunt also said that Yan Xi wanted to seduce Zhou Yanci. It was obviously Zhou Yanci, the male peacock, who used all his tricks to seduce Yan Xi!
There is a seven-year age difference between the two. It's like a toad of a certain age wanting to eat swan flesh!
Zhou Qingyu took a deep breath, "Xixi, I'm thirsty. Uncle Chen bought some coconuts. Can you help me carve one?"
Yan Xi had no doubts and said, "Okay!"
After Yan Xi was sent away, only Zhou Qingyu and Zhou Yanci were left in the water pavilion.
Zhou Qingyu was too lazy to exchange words with Zhou Yan and got straight to the point, "Do you like Yan Xi?"
Zhou Yanci did not hide it, "Yes."
Zhou Qingyu became furious, "Yan Xi doesn't like you!"
It was clearly a provocative remark, but it really hit home. Zhou Yanci lowered his head and said, "I know."
“So, I’m chasing her.”
Zhou Qing gritted his teeth and said this. When Yan Xi left, Zhou Yanci also stood up. Although he was leaning on a cane, his posture was upright. After taking two steps, there was no sign of limping.
Zhou Qingyu remembered Dean Chen saying that what Zhou Yanci had removed was the flesh and skin tissue of his ankle, which would not have much impact on his movements. The reason he was in a wheelchair was only because of his leg injury and he could not walk fast enough.
Therefore, he didn't need Yan Xi's help to do rehabilitation at all.
Zhou Qingyu gritted her teeth, "Old Green Tea! You're actually pretending to be pitiful!"
Zhou Yanci did not refute, but raised his eyebrows, "This is called 'relying on one's own strengths to achieve success'."
"Get lost!"
How can someone describe the scheming green tea so refreshingly and unconventionally? !
——
Fortunately, Zhou Yanci's rehabilitation is over.
Late at night, Zhou Qingyu felt that Zhou Yanci had little chance of getting close to Yan Xi.
You can't just crawl into a girl's room in the middle of the night, Zhou Yanci also has to keep his dignity.
Thinking of this, Zhou Qingyu went back to her room to take a bath comfortably.
Yan Xi came out of the shower. It was still early, only eight o'clock. She put on a Bohemian cape, held her laptop, and went to the library to read some literature.
At this time every day, Yan Xi would go to the library, either to work or to read papers.
Tonight we are looking at documents related to company acquisitions. Although Yan Xi was not in charge of this acquisition, it is very likely that Wu Liao was responsible for exposing the negative information.
The marketing of artists in the entertainment industry is amazing, and Wu Liao is well aware of this. Yan Xi can now read more literature to supplement her knowledge.
Hearing footsteps behind her, Yan Xi turned around and saw Zhou Yanci also coming to the library.
"Zhou Yanci, don't you want to rest?"
Zhou Yanci sat next to Yan Xi and spread out his book.
"It's still early, let's read for a while."
Since he rejected Meng Yingrong and refused to clean up the mess for Meng's stall, Zhou Yanci had a lot of free time. But he had no other hobbies, and spent most of his free time reading books or watching the recorded broadcast of "Travel".
At this moment, he was sitting next to Yan Xi.
The book was still "A Brief History of Time", but there was a hole in the middle with a mobile phone stuck in it.
The phone interface shows "How to Chase Girls".
The answer to the first question above is: "Understand her interests and hobbies, and observe her daily behavior."
Well, his current behavior is consistent with this.
Yan Xi's heart was pounding as she felt Zhou Yanci was very close to her.
Her computer did not have an anti-penetration film, and she had just been reading the "Plan for Acquisition of Meng's Shares" sent to her by Yao Chi. Fortunately, she heard the footsteps and switched the interface in time, otherwise Zhou Yanci would have known about it!
It's a close call...
There are so many desks in the study, why did Zhou Yanci insist on sitting next to her? And side by side?
It's too dangerous!
Yan Xi didn't even dare to open the file.
She always felt that Zhou Yanci was looking at her computer screen.
She turned her head carefully and met the gaze of the man at the banquet last week.
Yan Xi:!!!
She quickly looked away.
"Tong! Zhou Yanci is looking at me, right?"
The system popped up and looked around with round eyes.
【Depending on the angle, yes! 】
As expected! Yan Xi gritted her teeth.
Zhou Yanci was leaning against a bamboo chair, half a meter away from Yan Xi. From this angle, if he looked at her, wouldn't he be looking at her computer screen?
The boss won't find anything, right?
The boss is too sensitive!
Yan Xi wanted to cry but had no tears. The system comforted her: [Don't worry, Zhou Yanci is nearsighted, so he probably didn't see clearly when he came in.]
Yan Xi: "He better not have it!"
But think about it, if Zhou Yanci saw the acquisition plan, he would definitely ask her what was going on.
With this lucky mentality, Yan Xi sent a message to Zhou Qingyu.
——In order to avoid being seen by Zhou Yanci, Yan Xi used her cell phone. The cell phone was placed on the table, and Zhou Yanci could not see the screen from his angle.
[I was so scared. I was just reading the acquisition plan in the library when your brother suddenly showed up! He almost saw the document!]
[He is still staring at my computer screen. I think he may have noticed something!]
Zhou Qingyu had just finished taking a shower and was wearing pajamas and applying a facial mask on the couch.
When she saw the news, she sat up with a jerk.
Why are you looking at the computer screen, silly child! They are looking at you!
Zhou Qingyu ignored the mask on her face, grabbed the script, and immediately rushed to the library.
As soon as I entered the room, I saw Yan Xi sitting upright, holding her laptop which was full of academic atmosphere, scanning for mines.
Zhou Yanci was leaning leisurely on the bamboo chair, with his arms stretched out and resting on the back of Yan Xi's chair.
He looked at Yan Xi with a smile in his eyes.
Zhou Qingyu took a deep breath. What a stinky man with a lot of scheming and bad intentions! What is he looking at the screen for? He is looking at Yan Xi!
Zhou Qingyu stepped forward without hesitation and kicked Zhou Yanci's bamboo chair, "Zhou Yanci, I want to sit in your seat, get out!"
Zhou Yanci: "..."
Yan Xi was delighted. The young lady was so outstanding! She quickly asked Zhou Yanci to sit opposite her! This way he couldn't see her computer screen!
Zhou Yanci refused to agree. In any case, he and Zhou Qingyu had been at loggerheads for a long time.
He said, "No, my legs hurt and it's inconvenient."
He looked at Yan Xi with a heavy gaze, "Xi Xi, I'm already injured like this, you won't have the heart to let me be replaced again and again, right?"
Zhou Yanci has a very nice voice, his tone is deep but clear, like a clear spring flowing under the warm spring sun.
Yan Xi's heart softened instantly. For those who are obsessed with looks and voices, this was a double blow!
"It's indeed... inappropriate."
Zhou Qingyu:!!!
Scheming old green tea!
Zhou Qingyu never believed that someone could be beautiful without knowing it or handsome without knowing it. Truly good-looking people have had countless people tell them how good-looking they are since they were young. The reason they are not greasy is that they don't use their looks as an advantage to show off all the time.
But they probably know how to take advantage of it.
Zhou Qingyu understood, and Zhou Yanci also understood.
When he spoke just now, his tone was low and his voice was deep. In such a cold night, he seemed sexy and alluring. This old man did it on purpose!
Yan Xi still has less contact with men!
But before Zhou Qingyu could speak, Yan Xi stood up and said, "Qingqing, why don't you take my seat?"
Zhou Yanci's smile froze instantly.
This time it was Zhou Qingyu's turn to smile. She raised her eyebrows at Zhou Yanci, and her eyes clearly meant - look! Xixi still cares about me more!
Zhou Yanci: "..."
——
There was a long desk in the study, with three people sitting side by side, and Zhou Qingyu sitting in the middle.
Yan Xi was too lazy to go around to the other side. Anyway, Zhou Qingyu was between them and Zhou Yanci couldn't see her computer screen.
Zhou Yanci raised his eyes and glanced at Zhou Qingyu.
"You're reading a script while wearing a facial mask?"
Zhou Qingyu tore off the mask and said, "What do you care?"
"After removing the mask, shouldn't you wash your face?"
Zhou Qingyu suddenly realized what Zhou Yanci meant and chased her away!
She patted her face gently to let it absorb the essence. "This is not a mud mask, no need to wash it off~"
After a while, Aunt Zhang came to the library and brought some freshly cut fruits.
The fruit was for Yan Xi, Zhou Yanci didn't like sweet food, and Zhou Qingyu couldn't eat fruit because she wanted to stay in shape. The one who supported Aunt Zhang and Uncle Chen the most in the old house was Yan Xi, she would eat anything.
Yan Xi was reading documents while eating fruit.
Zhou Qingyu suddenly opened her mouth, "Xixi, I want to eat too! My hands are full of essence, feed me~"
Yan Xi didn't think much about it and took the initiative to feed Zhou Qingyu.
"And that, strawberry~"
"Grapes! Grapes too~"
"Have a piece of watermelon too~"
While eating fruit, Zhou Qingyu deliberately looked at Zhou Yanci.
You want to compete with me? You are far from it!
Zhou Yanci: "..."
She showed off so much to Zhou Yanci that when Zhou Qingyu burped, she realized that the whole plate of fruit was spoiled by her.
Help, how much fructose is in this!
Zhou Yanci teased, "Artists have limited calorie intake every day. If you eat like this, do you have to go to the gym and run for an hour tonight?"
Yan Xi whispered, "It seems so, Qingqing, if you don't exercise, you will get edema tomorrow, and we still have a photoshoot tomorrow..."
Zhou Qingyu: "..."
Damn it! It’s late at night and she’s already taken a shower, who wants to go jogging!
She glared at Zhou Yanci angrily, it was still his fault!
"No, Xixi, you are the one who feeds me the fruit, you have to work out with me!"
Yan Xi was startled.
Fitness and the like were killing her! She almost failed the 800-meter race!
“How about I stay with you?” Running is really not an option, it’s too difficult!
"That's fine!"
Zhou Qingyu didn't care. As long as Zhou Yanci, the old green tea girl, wasn't around, it would be fine!
Zhou Yanci's eyes darkened.
Zhou Qingyu and Yan Xi started packing up and prepared to go to the gym. Zhou Yanci's current body was definitely not suitable for gymnastics.
Suddenly, Zhou Yanci frowned and made a sound of pain.
Zhou Qingyu seemed to sense something and blurted out, "What's wrong with you?!"
Yan Xi also looked at Zhou Yanci, and habitually asked, "Does the wound hurt? Did you do too much rehabilitation tonight?"
Zhou Yanci's brows furrowed even deeper. "Well, I guess I forgot to take my medicine."
"Is the medicine box in your room? I'll go get it."
Having said that, Yan Xi went to Zhou Yanci's room to look for the medicine box.
Zhou Qingyu was dumbfounded. "Hey, hey, hey, you said you would go to the gym with me?"
Yan Xi's voice came from outside the library, "Wait a minute, I'll accompany you after I get the medicine!"
A few minutes later, Yan Xi came back with a glass of water.
Zhou Qingyu was standing aside, waiting with her arms folded.
Humph, Yan Xi just helped Zhou Yanci get some medicine, that's nothing. Anyway, Yan Xi still has to accompany her to the gym later, is Zhou Yanci healthy now?
If he gets pregnant, he will definitely not be able to seduce Yan Xi!
Thinking of this, Zhou Qingyu relaxed a lot.
Before her eyes, Yan Xi handed the medicine box to Zhou Yanci.
Zhou Yanci had the medicine in his mouth, and Yan Xi handed him a glass half filled with water.
But this time, Zhou Yanci did not take the glass.
He held Yan Xi's hand and drank the water in the glass.
Yan Xi was startled. The tingling sensation on her skin made her want to pull her hand back, but she failed. By the time she realized what was happening, Zhou Yanci had already finished drinking the water.
Zhou Yanci let go of his hand and smiled gently at Yan Xi.
"Thank you."
