"What happened?" Lin Feixing looked at Su Peizhen, who was in front of him, and found that she seemed to be distracted. "Is the food not to your liking?"
This restaurant is very classy, as a second date for two people. It took Lin Feixing a long time to decide on this location.
It was also very close to Su Peizhen's company. It happened to be in the downtown business district. After dinner, we can go watch a movie together or something.
Lin Feixing had already made up his mind, but in the middle of the meal, he realized that Su Peizhen was daydreaming.
Su Peizhen glanced at Lin Feixing and shook her head gently. "Sorry, I just thought of something. The food was good. It suits my taste. You're considerate. "
She remembered that when she changed her clothes and was about to go out in the morning, Ling Jing still maintained that posture in the dining room.
His head was lowered. She couldn't see his expression clearly, but she could feel the low pressure around Ling Jing.
She didn't feel that she had done anything wrong. The transaction was settled. Ling Jing did not suffer any losses. After all, she had given him the money.
Moreover, they had agreed from the start, so she didn't think that she had done anything wrong.
Su Peizhen couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable when she thought about how sad Ling Jing was and how he was trembling when he hugged her.
When she met Lin Feixing's gaze, she smiled.
"Thank you, I like it very much."
Since the decision was made, there was no need to hesitate. If one does not act decisively, one will fall into chaos.
"Peizhen, how about we go to the movies after dinner?"
After saying this, Lin Feixing smiled awkwardly. "Sorry, I still don't know what you like, so I can only say this. If you have other plans, I can go with you to do what you like. "
"It's okay. Let's just watch the movie."
Su Peizhen didn't mind. She smiled at Lin Feixing and took out her phone to book a ticket.
She looks down and concentrates on eating the food in front of her, but Ling Jing's face flashes in her mind again.
He said that he would take her to the movies and let her accompany him, but in the end, that guy fell asleep in the cinema.
She tightened her grip on the chopsticks and closed her eyes. This was the last time he thought of Ling Jing.
A hooligan and a pretty boy really weren't worth spending too much effort on.
… …
The atmosphere in the living room of the villa was extremely low.
Not to mention Shen Lefu, who was standing next to the coffee table, who was too scared to speak, the bodyguards on both sides were silent. Even Gu Xiu, who had always been close to Ling Jing, did not dare to make a sound.
Ling Jing looked at the information in front of her. The information was very detailed. After all, his request to the ancient cultivators back then was to investigate everything, no matter how big or small.
The ancient cultivator actually did listen to him. The information in his hands couldn't be any more detailed.
That woman had broken up with him three days ago. Then, he turned around and went on a date with Lin Feixing, who looked more like a gigolo than him.
Flying Star? Stars?
Hehe. The necklace was a gift from Lin Feixing. Do you like stars?
Ling Jing's knuckles turned white as she held the documents in her hand. A trace of bloodlust flashed across his eyes, but it quickly disappeared.
He raised his head and looked at Gu Xiu. His expression was unexpectedly calm.
"Check if there are any people or companies that are cooperating with Zhen Zhen Department Store. Check all of them. I want to see it in three hours. "
"Yes." Gu Xiu didn't understand why his Young Lord was acting so crazy. But Young Master had orders. As a subordinate, he could only obey.
It didn't need three hours. It was such a simple matter. Two hours later, Gu Xiu once again put a new investigation information in front of Ling Jing.
He was hugging Shen Lefu. He was eating the grapes that she had peeled and fed to his mouth.
Shen Lefu was respectful and afraid of him, carefully trying to please him. Her eyes were a little pleading. "Young Master Ling, I can promise you anything. Can you let my brother go? My brother's body really can't take it anymore. Really — "
"What?" Ling Jing lifted her chin, his expression was light and slutty. "You just fed me a few grapes, and you want me to let your brother go?"
"Young, Young Master Ling?"
Ling Jing looked at Gu Xiu who was standing on the side, reached out and rubbed her chest. "If you want me to let your brother go, it depends on how much you can do."
Shen Lefu bit her lip. She was no longer an ignorant little girl. Especially after coming here for these days, she saw with her own eyes how Ling Jing treated traitors.
Her little face was pale, and she looked delicate and pitiful. Ling Jing, however, was not in the mood to look at her and pushed her away.
He stood up and looked at her with some pity. "If you want to get something, you have to pay. Think about it carefully. Anyway, your brother won't die for a while. "
His extremely cold tone made Shen Lefu's face turn pale again.
Ling Jing was not in the mood to appreciate it. He stood up and took the information in Gu Xiu's hand.
The department store that Xiang Caiping left to Su Peizhen was originally called Qing Qing Department Store. After Su Peizhen took over, Xiang Caiping took the initiative to change the name to Zhenzhen Department Store.
Tsk. No matter which name it was, the name was extremely tacky.
She despised it in her heart. Thinking of the ruthlessness in Su Peizhen's eyes that day, Ling Jing once again had the urge to kill.
After calming down, he felt that this game could be played again.
After going through all the relationships, he finally glanced at Gu Xiu. Gu Xiu felt a bit scared under her gaze, and his body shrank back a little.
"Young Master?"
Ling Jing randomly took out two pieces of information in his hand and turned to Gu Xiu. "Buy these two companies."
Gu Xiu glanced at such a small company. "Young Master Ling, is it necessary?"
When he met Ling Jing's almost murderous gaze, he took the information in her hand. "Yes. I'll do it right away. "
"You have three days to get this done. And — "
Ling Jing narrowed her eyes. No one knew what she was thinking, but there was a flash of bloodthirst in her eyes.
"Buy me a house. One bedroom and one living room. The older one, the smaller one. The price should be less than two million. "
"Young Master Ling?" He already had enough houses under his name. What the hell was one bedroom and one living room? It was not even enough for the nanny at home.
"Go quickly. I'll give you a week to do all the things I just told you."
"Yes." Gu Xiu never questioned Ling Jing's decision. He bowed and turned to leave.
Ling Jing threw the information in front of her aside. Her eyes were like a cheetah waiting for an opportunity in the dark.
Woman. I spent so much time and so much money to play with you. You should really be touched and honored.
It was not too late to taste the fruit of victory, as long as there was that day. And he almost couldn't wait.
… …
Su Peizhen looked at the form in front of her, raised her eyebrows, and looked at Manager Wang in front of her. Well, it was a coincidence that the company had a new purchasing manager, still surnamed Wang.
However, he was younger than the previous one, in his thirties. He was quite capable. But sometimes he was a little indecisive.
"What does this report mean?"
The two downstream companies that had been working with suddenly wanted to raise the price. Business was not doing well now. For these downstream companies, it was rare for them to suddenly adjust the price without any major changes.
These two companies were the ones that they had been working with a lot recently. Last month, they even helped to do a promotion together, and the response was good.
Unexpectedly, they wanted to adjust the price now? According to this ratio, not only would their profits fall even lower, but it would also affect their perception in the hearts of customers.
"Mr. Su, those two companies seem to have just changed bosses. Then they said that the price adjustment was the new boss's idea. "
Change of boss? Su Peizhen frowned slightly. After thinking for a while, she knocked on the table and looked at Zhou Mei.
"Help me make an appointment with the people in charge of these two companies."
"Yes." Zhou Mei nodded and turned to contact them. Su Peizhen did not take this matter to heart.
The new boss did not know the industry, so it was normal for him to want to adjust the price. She made an appointment to see if they could negotiate. If they could, they would. If not, she did not mind changing to another company.
Business was difficult now. If she wanted to cooperate, the company had to agree. She did not like people threatening her.
…
Two days later, Su Peizhen met one of the people in charge of a private restaurant. The man looked to be in his forties. His figure was well managed, but he was a little chubby and had a small belly.
He looked friendly when he smiled, but the look in his eyes was different.
Su Peizhen quickly guessed what kind of negotiation tactics he would use later from the man's appearance and the way he spoke.
The man's surname was Ying, and his name was Ying Tianlong. The first thing he did was to introduce himself.
He said that he was originally a nouveau riche. After buying and making money, he did not know what he was doing. People said that there were risks in real estate and the stock market, but he wanted to do business. He bought this company with the intention of making money, so it was necessary to raise the price.
The man's words were not very technical. His whole person revealed that although he was unsophisticated, he was rich. He felt that he was willful because he was rich.
There was no such person in the circle that Su Peizhen had interacted with before. This was a rare experience for her.
The man did not come alone. He brought a female secretary with him. She said that she was a secretary, but her words were coquettish and seductive. She leaned against Ying Tianlong as if she had no bones.
She looked at Zhou Mei beside her and was glad that Zhou Mei was not like this. Otherwise, she would let Zhou Mei go home and eat her up.
Zhou Mei seemed to know what she meant and smiled at her.
It was obvious that the person in front of her was relatively simple. Su Peizhen did not want to beat around the bush.
"President Ying, I understand that you want to make money after buying the company, but everything has to be reasonable. We signed a contract before. If you suddenly change your mind like this, it will be considered a breach of contract. "
"What breach of contract? Don't scare me. The person who signed the contract with you is the person from the previous company, not me. Besides, our contract expires in a month. It's natural for me to raise the price. "
Su Peizhen listened to the other party say the same thing and lost her patience, right?
"Okay, President Ying, you mean that you have to raise the price and you don't intend to take back the idea, right?"
"That's for sure." As Ying Tianlong spoke, his phone rang. The secretary stood up. "President Ying, I'm going to take the call."
"Go, go. Come back early. "Ying Tianlong touched the secretary's waist in front of Su Peizhen.
Su Peizhen could not bear it and turned her face away. The secretary twisted her waist and left. Not long after, Zhou Mei's phone also rang.
What was wrong with these people today? She glanced at Zhou Mei and picked up the phone awkwardly.
"I'm sorry, President Su."
"It's okay." Su Peizhen did not like to be interrupted when talking about business. Zhou Mei stood up to answer the phone. Su Peizhen wanted to continue, but Zhou Mei rushed in again.
She approached Su Peizhen and her voice was trembling.
"President Su, my child suddenly fell. I, I want to go to the hospital now. I – "
Su Peizhen saw the anxious look on her face and did not make things difficult. "Go."
"But here –"
"It's okay. The child is more important." She was not an unreasonable person. Moreover, she had a hunch that the negotiation would probably not go through today. Therefore, she did not plan to stay long. After confirming Ying Tianlong's thoughts, she would leave.
Zhou Mei looked at her gratefully and then left in a hurry.
Ying Tianlong's secretary had not returned yet. Only the two of them were left in the private room.
Su Peizhen looked at him again with a calm expression.
"President Ying, a straightforward person does not resort to insinuations. I am a straightforward person. I just want to ask, are you sure there is no room for negotiation? "
"President Su, don't be so serious. It's not that there is no room for negotiation. " Ying Tianlong glanced at Su Peizhen. "Of course, I have to give you face when such a beautiful lady comes to talk about cooperation with me. How about this, you drink with me, and I won't raise the price. How about that? "
Hearing this, Su Peizhen did not want to talk at all. "In that case, there is nothing to talk about."
The two companies cooperated on an equal footing. She was not an escort. Many years ago, Su Chenghui had taught her that one must not be arrogant, but one must have pride.
When it came to cooperation, it would work out. If it didn't work out … She did not want to continue.
Unexpectedly, when she wanted to leave, the other party grabbed her hand and pulled her into his arms.
"President Su, you are really beautiful. You even outshine my secretary. Actually, you are such a beautiful lady. Why do you have to work so hard to talk about business? "
"What are you doing? Let go. "Su Peizhen's eyes were cold and fierce.
Ying Tianlong fearlessly leaned over. "Don't shout so loudly. Let me tell you, as long as you are willing to work with me, don't mention lowering the price. I will even give it to you for free. "
"President Ying, I will say it again, let go."
Su Peizhen tried to push him, but he was a man after all, and he was quite strong. He hugged her and refused to let go. His hands were still touching her back.
"I have never played with a beauty like President Su. You have personality, I like it. President Su, you are with me. "
Seeing that he was about to kiss her, Su Peizhen raised her hand and slapped his face without thinking.
Ying Tianlong was slapped by her and was instantly furious. He hugged her tightly and refused to let go.
"B * tch, I gave you face, but you don't want it. Let me tell you. It's your fortune that I like you. Be good to me, or else — "
With the other party's size and strength, Su Peizhen struggled, but it was very difficult.
She kicked and kicked, using the self-defense skills she had learned before. Ying Tianlong didn't succeed so easily. He took a few hits and didn't gain any advantage, but he was also angry because of this.
He became even crazier and pressed Su Peizhen onto the chair. He reached out to tear her clothes.
The strength of a man and a woman showed a huge difference at this time. When the other party's hand reached for the collar of her clothes, Su Peizhen finally couldn't help but feel a trace of panic.
"B * tch, I will teach you a good lesson. I will let you know how powerful I am. "
Su Peizhen reached out to take the phone in her pocket, but before she could get it, a few buttons on her shirt had been torn off by the other party.
"Help!"
Su Peizhen didn't have time to get the phone, so she screamed in despair. She hoped that someone outside the room could hear her cry for help.
The man's hand was already touching her collarbone. Su Peizhen was so disgusted that she wanted to vomit.
In the next second, the gravity on her body disappeared. She didn't have time to see what was in front of her at all. She saw Ying Tianlong's somewhat fat body being lifted up and then thrown out.
After the sound of landing and smashing into the chair, there was the sound of fists landing on Ying Tianlong's body.
One punch after another, Ying Tianlong let out a squeal like a pig being slaughtered.
Su Peizhen was still in shock. She, who had escaped from danger, now saw clearly who the person was.
Ling Jing?
"Bastard, who told you to touch my woman?"
Ling Jing not only punched, but also kicked. After a few punches and kicks, Ying Tianlong's face became like a pig's head. In the end, when Ying Tianlong dodged, he didn't know if he hit the corner of the table or the chair, but he directly fainted.
However, Ling Jing didn't think it was enough. She raised her foot and wanted to hit him again. Su Peizhen stopped him.
"Enough." She stood up and felt the coldness in her chest. She lowered her head and tightened her shirt in the middle. She found that the button had fallen off, and there was no way to fix it. She picked up the coat beside her and put it on, covering her chest.
She heard footsteps outside and went forward to stop Ling Jing from continuing to beat him.
"Stop hitting him. If you continue, someone will die. "
Ling Jing glanced at her. When she saw her messy hair and clothes, a ruthless look appeared in her eyes again. She raised her foot and kicked Ying Tianlong a few more times.
At that moment, Ying Tianlong's secretary came in and saw the situation in front of her.
Su Peizhen held her forehead. Ling Jing didn't care. He directly went forward to put his arm around her waist and led her outside.
The secretary was so scared that her face turned pale. She didn't stop them and just watched them leave.
… …
By the time Su Peizhen got into Ling Jing's Cadillac, her rationality had returned, and she calmed down.
She tightened her coat and glanced at Ling Jing. The panic of almost being violated finally dissipated, and another question came to her mind.
"Why are you here?"
She was very calm. She didn't lose her usual rational analysis just because Ling Jing saved her.
Ling Jing didn't answer her question. Instead, he approached her and held her shoulders with both hands.
"Are you okay? Are you hurt anywhere? Did that beast hurt you? "
Su Peizhen was stunned for a moment. When she saw the pure concern in Ling Jing's eyes, she spoke again.
"I'm fine. You didn't say anything. Why are you here?"
Ling Jing's expression was a little embarrassed, a little embarrassed, and a little uncomfortable. He retracted his hand, as if he didn't know how to answer this question.
Su Peizhen looked at him and suddenly realized something. It had been a month since she unilaterally announced that the two of them were over.
In this month, she didn't not think about Ling Jing, but she suppressed it. In fear of meeting Ling Jing, she didn't even return to Rong Garden once in this month.
Now that she saw Ling Jing again, she realized that something had happened to her, but Ling Jing could immediately appear. What did this mean?
"You …"
"Yes. I followed you. "Ling Jing openly admitted what he had done. Su Peizhen didn't expect him to say that. She was stunned.
"I followed you." Ling Jing spoke again. This time, he looked even more embarrassed.
"I can't forget you." He didn't look into Su Peizhen's eyes. Instead, he slightly turned his face to look at an unknown point. "Even if you don't want me, I can't forget you."
"You breached the contract. You clearly said that it would be half a year. But you abandoned me in advance. But I can't forget you. "
He suddenly raised his head and looked at Su Peizhen. "I miss you very much."
The car wasn't big, and only the light from the street lamps outside shone in. It was dim and hazy. The young man with a devilish appearance was like a little boy who had his first awakening of love. He looked at her with a very sincere and devout gaze and told her that he liked her.
The throbbing that Su Peizhen had deliberately suppressed in the deepest part of her heart seemed to show signs of revival at this time.
Su Peizhen pursed her lips into a straight line. She didn't like this idea.
"Ling Jing, I said that we're over."
"Yes. We're over. " Ling Jing looked at her with a bitter face. "I know that I don't deserve you. I also know that you won't like me. But how can people control things in love? "
Su Peizhen didn't speak. She had never really fallen in love with someone. She didn't know that kind of feeling.
At first, she got engaged to Qiu Yanbo because their family conditions were similar and their identities were suitable. Later, she got engaged to Huo Yifan because they used each other and exchanged interests.
After she got out of prison, her mentality was no longer the same as before. What was love to her? She didn't know what it felt like to love someone.
She used to have a family that she loved dearly, but later she realized that those family members didn't belong to her.
She lost her family and almost gave up everything in the first half of her life.
Now, there was a person who looked into her eyes and made such a serious confession. She couldn't tell what she felt in her heart and didn't know how to respond. In the end, she could only turn her face away.
She didn't speak, and Ling Jing directly started the car. Su Peizhen sat there and didn't speak. Soon, she realized that this wasn't the way to Rong Garden.
She glanced at Ling Jing but didn't ask where he planned to take her.
The car soon stopped in a relatively old neighborhood. Ling Jing got out of the car and glanced at her.
His eyes were a little perturbed, a little uneasy, and a little uncertain.
Su Peizhen met his eyes, pursed her lips, and got out of the car.
There was almost no parking space in the neighborhood, so the car had to be parked outside. They walked into the neighborhood for a while. The shabby neighborhood had a few sparse trees, which could be considered greenery.
They walked around a flower bed that didn't look beautiful, and Ling Jing took her into the door of one of the buildings.
The iron door was a little old. After entering the door, she found that not only was it old, but there was also no elevator.
The two of them went upstairs together. Su Peizhen was wearing high heels and stepping on the stairs. The sound of her footsteps sounded very loud in the dark.
She couldn't help but want to walk softly, but it was a little difficult.
