This summer, for most people in Lin City, was hot, calm, and ordinary.
For Xu Xu and Ji Bai, there was a sweet and tempting throbbing in their lives.
As for Ye Zixiao, he stood at the top of the Ye Group at the age of 25, but he was besieged on all sides.
After the Ye Group's case, the stock price plummeted and fell for days.
At the same time, Zhang Shiyong announced a high-profile divorce with Ye Qiao, leaving the Ye Group, and starting a new company. He also took away all the contacts, clients, and teams in the real estate industry, which was half of the Ye Group.
Various suppliers and dealers, either instigated by Zhang Shiyong or eager to protect themselves, all proposed to stop cooperation … The capital chain of the huge group suddenly broke.
The building was about to collapse, and the once arrogant and domineering Fourth Young Master Ye put down his pride and ran around looking for capital injection.
However, the scale of the Ye Group was too large, and it had fallen too hard. Everyone said that they wanted to, but they were powerless, and they were unwilling to easily invest in this sinking ship. Even the banks that had always been on good terms with said that if Ye Zixiao could not stabilize the stock price and credit rating in the short term, they would have to withdraw the huge loans from the previous period.
The only person who was willing to inject capital was Zhang Shiyong. However, he wanted to buy the entire Ye Group, and the conditions were extremely harsh.
Ye Zixiao replied to the negotiator he sent, "Scram."
Ye Zixiao was ready to go bankrupt.
At this time, Ye Jin in prison asked to see him.
She had always been the most clear-headed person in the entire Ye Group, and had always used her own way and all her strength to protect the Ye family. This time was no exception.
"Zixiao, Ye Group is not as bad as you think. A starving camel is still bigger than a horse. The old foundation is still there, and there are still many high-quality assets and business networks. As long as we get through this, it will be easy for us to make a comeback. Anyone with the slightest bit of investment vision would be able to calculate this clearly. No one is willing to invest now, and they all want to take advantage of the situation to lower the transfer price of your shares. "
"I have a university classmate, and her husband is a wealthy businessman living in Hong Kong, and he is very influential in Southeast Asia. You can try to contact him. I heard that this person has a lot of assets, and he is also very shrewd in business. You have to be mentally prepared, maybe his price is even harsher than Zhang Shiyong's. But since he is a professional investor, he will not want to swallow Ye Group's management rights. As long as he is willing to inject capital to save Ye Group, we can earn back what we lost today in the future. "
Ye Zixiao quickly contacted this Hong Kong tycoon.
As Ye Jin expected, the other party's asking price was even more ruthless than Zhang Shiyong's. But he only bought 40% of the Ye Group's shares, and he also put forward his future exit conditions. In other words, as long as Ye Zixiao could earn enough money in the future, he could buy back those shares.
On the day the representatives of both parties signed the agreement, Ye Zixiao personally called the other party.
The rich merchant's surname was Chen, and his tone was very easygoing, which made Ye Zixiao feel no pressure. After chatting for a while, Ye Zixiao couldn't help but ask, "Why are you willing to believe me?"
Mr. Chen smiled and replied, "Not every young man has the experience of falling from the top to the bottom like you."
Ye Zixiao's heart was filled with bitterness. After a moment of silence, he replied, "Thank you. I won't let you down. "
Cutting the meat to feed the tiger, he was rescued from the brink of death, but the road ahead was bumpy.
For many years after that, Ye Zixiao's life was only left with the pursuit of money, power, and profit. The frivolity of his youth, the love, the confusion, the frustration, and the wanton pursuit of self-worth all became as insignificant as stagnant water in the face of the heavy burden of the Ye Group.
However, at this time, he did not expect that a few days later, because of this Mr. Chen, he would go see Xu Xu again — the girl who had become unreachable to him; the girl who would still make his heart ache when he thought of her many years later.
It was a Saturday afternoon, and the sun was shining brightly. Lin City was calm, and the streets were full of leisurely men and women.
Ji Bai had a cup of tea and a box of takeout in his hand as he sat alone in the empty office and surfed the Internet.
Old Wu had something to do and came to the office at the last minute. When she saw him, she smiled and asked, "Aren't you accompanying your girlfriend?"
Ji Bai wanted to accompany her. As a criminal police officer, he would be extremely busy when there was a case and had no private time at all. It was rare for him to relax these few days, so he naturally wanted to bring Xu Xu along to spend time with her and cultivate their relationship. However, Xu Xu was even busier than him, and she was nowhere to be seen on a weekend.
After Old Wu left, Ji Bai sat for a while longer before he picked up his car keys and drove to the police academy where Xu Xu was.
It was afternoon, and the clean and solemn campus was mottled with sunlight and the shadows of the trees swayed. The brown academic building was bustling with people. Ji Bai walked around the building and easily found Xu Xu who was immersed in her work in a small office.
Xu Xu was asked by the professor to attend a special report in the academy and was preparing the materials. When she saw Ji Bai suddenly appear, she was a little surprised, but she frowned and said, "The meeting will start soon, and it will take at least three hours."
Ji Bai sat opposite her calmly. "It's fine, I'm also quite interested in the content of your meeting, so I came to listen in."
Since he said that, Xu Xu did not care about him anymore and continued to work with her head lowered.
Ji Bai picked up the materials on the table and flipped through them. 'Long-term Planning and Computer Application of Level 2 Criminal Psychology Database' — Not interested. He simply put his hands on the back of the chair and looked at his girlfriend.
As Xu Xu was attending a professional meeting in the academy, she wore a small black suit which made her skin look as fair as snow. Perhaps it was because she had been cooped up in the office for too long, but her little face was still a little red. Her soft short hair fell on her forehead, which made her look a little cute …
Xu Xu suddenly looked up at him and her face seemed to become even redder. She frowned and said, "Can you go back first? I'll be distracted if you're here. "
Ji Bai, who was kicked out of the building, leaned against the car and lit a cigarette. When he thought about her slightly embarrassed and impatient look just now, he could not help but laugh and did not want to leave right away.
The two of them had been together for just two weeks and Xu Xu was very considerate and meticulous towards him. She was also more feminine than he had expected. She insisted on making breakfast for him every morning and would remind him to be careful when the weather changed. When they were intimate, she was gentle and cooperative and would even take the initiative, although they were still at the stage of kissing and hugging.
She was neither shy nor delicate, but she was so straightforward and sincere that it made his heart ache a little. Most of the time, she even wanted to do what a boyfriend should do. When Ji Bai thought about this, his smile deepened.
However, Ji Bai knew that he was still far from truly winning Xu Xu's heart.
Ji Bai looked introverted and calm, but deep down, he was actually a person with a strong desire to conquer. When he left Beijing and went to Lin City to make a living in the police force, one could see that he was arrogant and competitive.
Men were like this to their careers, and it was the same for women.
He wanted to conquer Xu Xu.
This kind of conquest did not mean that he wanted to dominate Xu Xu, nor did he want her to lose her independence. He liked her independence and admired her strength.
He just hoped that one day, his woman would also be infatuated with him both physically and mentally. Two people who loved each other so deeply that they could not be replaced — that was the ideal state of love. As for Xu Xu, his desire was becoming stronger.
Although Xu Xu liked him now, she seemed to treat love as the same thing as work and study. She planned it step by step, invested it step by step, and was very calm and composed.
It seemed that if he wanted Xu Xu to love him deeply and passionately, he still had a tough battle to fight.
Ji Bai stood downstairs for a while. At this time, it was almost time for the seminar, and more and more students entered the teaching building. There were even a few school leaders.
Ji Bai knew them, so after exchanging greetings, one of them asked, "Captain Ji, why are you here today?"
Ji Bai glanced at the seminar notice on the wall and answered with a smile, "I'm here to run some errands, and I've already completed them. I'm quite interested when I saw this seminar. I wonder if it's convenient for me to sit in? "
The seminar started on time, and the multimedia classroom that could accommodate hundreds of people was filled to the brim.
Xu Xu thought that Ji Bai had already left, so she had been sitting in the work area to prepare. She was the first to go on stage to do the seminar. Before she went on stage, the host introduced the leaders present, and he was especially excited and honored to highlight a leader who had been invited at the last minute. "Captain Ji Bai of the Municipal Criminal Police Unit, let's give a round of applause to welcome Captain Ji for his guidance!"
The lights were blazing, and Xu Xu had originally decided to ignore Ji Bai who was below the stage. However, his position was too conspicuous — he was in the middle of the first row, facing her. Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, his faint smile was fixed on her face the whole time.
Xu Xu's performance was considered stable, and she spoke clearly and expressionlessly throughout. However, when she got off the stage, the junior beside her said, "Senior Sister … Drink some water, don't be nervous."
Xu Xu replied, "I'm not nervous."
The junior looked at her blushing face. "Oh."
As the conference was nearing its end, Ji Bai could not refuse, so he was invited to the stage to answer questions from the students.
Xu Xu initially lowered her head and did not look at him, but when she heard his deep and powerful voice and his concise and comprehensive answers to a few professional questions, she could not help but look up.
Under the lights, he was still wearing a casual long-sleeved T-shirt, but when he stood upright on the stage, his face was solemn, his gaze was sharp, and his whole body was cold and determined, attracting everyone's attention.
After staring at him for a while, Xu Xu decided to forgive him for taking advantage of her in public and taking advantage of her for personal gain.
Ten minutes after the conference ended, Xu Xu got into Ji Bai's car.
That night, Zhao Han and his girlfriend were holding an engagement ceremony at a hotel, and they invited familiar colleagues from the police station.
As there were colleagues from other departments, in order to avoid arousing suspicion, Xu Xu went upstairs after parking the car. Ji Bai saw that she was carrying a big bag and asked, "Aren't you going to leave it in the car?"
Xu Xu shook her head faintly. "I need to change."
Ji Bai saw that her black suit was indeed inappropriate, so he did not mind. After sitting in the car for a while, he slowly walked up to the hotel.
The ceremony was held in the open-air garden of the hotel. The night was quiet, and the lights were bright. There were many people, and as far as the eye could see, there were men and women dressed in clothes. Ji Bai stood at the entrance for a while, but he did not see Xu Xu. At this time, Da Hu, Old Wu, and the others who were sitting on a row of beach chairs in the corner greeted him. "Captain, over here."
As soon as Ji Bai walked over and sat down, Da Hu nudged his arm and said softly, "Wear a dress."
