plunderer

In the quiet hospital, Lin Han pushed his father outside. The air in the early morning was relatively clear. Dr. Pan said that exposing his father to fresh air would be good for his body.

After turning around on the road a few times, she came to a shady square, where there were some old people who were resting in peace, as well as their children accompanying them.This place is quiet, but not desolate, and it is indeed suitable for recuperation.Lin Han struggled to push her father up the steps and came to the square. She looked at those old people sitting quietly in wheelchairs with gray hair, and couldn't help but feel sad.

After placing her father in place, she squatted down and put down his rolled up sleeves to keep out the cool breeze, then raised her eyes and carefully looked at her father's old and dull face, and the memories of the past flooded into her mind.

······

Five years ago, shortly after going to the United States, the Lin Group fell into a crisis. Facing the fierce competition in the American market and the eyes of competitors in the same industry, my parents held various meetings in the company's conference room every day. , discuss policy in response to the crisis, date various partners.

At that time, Lin Han couldn't feel the tension of her parents and the crisis of the company. She sat alone in front of the cold shutters of the villa, watching the sky and the falling yellow leaves, silently in a daze, lost in thought.Since coming to the United States, she still hasn't gotten over the grief of losing Luo Mu. She disappeared from her life so suddenly and without warning, without any information, so she tried her best to find out about her. traces, but she left nothing behind.The more Lin Han thought about it, the more she couldn't figure it out. Finally, she became depressed in a foreign country. She lived in her own world, not caring about her parents or what happened around her.

Until one day, her parents took her to a fancy restaurant, where she met Cheng Yiru and her parents.Children who grew up in wealthy businessmen's families, besides enjoying a superior growth environment since they were young, they also have to shoulder the fate of a company when they grow up, and marriage matters are beyond their control.Lin Han knew this very well, but when the parents of both parties regarded their children's marriage as a deal to weigh the pros and cons, at that moment, she never thought that she would be so rebellious.

That day, she sat quietly next to her parents, expressionless.At the dining table, the parents of the two families were talking, creating an illusion of harmony.

"Xiaohan and your family Yiru are classmates, so they have known each other for a long time and are no strangers to each other."

"I also heard Yiru mention Lin Han. She is a very good girl in school, and we all like her very much. Therefore, we have no objection to marriage, and getting married with the Lin Group is also our wish." Cheng's mother said, She turned her head, looked at Cheng Yiru who was sitting beside her, and asked, "Yiru, do you have any opinions or ideas?"

Cheng Yiru looked at Lin Han, who was expressionless, and smiled at the corner of his mouth, and said lazily: "Listen to your parents, I have no objection."

"Okay." Cheng's mother turned her head to look at Lin Han's father: "Mr. Lin, there is no problem with our Cheng family, and we are also looking forward to the upcoming cooperation with the Lin Group."

"Our Lin family has no objection either. This marriage is settled. In the future, the Lin Group will still need your company's help. The combination of the two will make our company stronger."

A perfect deal, Cheng Yiru looked at Lin Han's pale face through the wine glass.

"Wait, Mr. Lin, you should ask Lin Han for his opinion, we want to hear her opinion."

"As for the marriage, we, the parents, can help her decide. She won't have any objections." Mother Lin replied resolutely, smiling politely.

"I don't agree with this kind of corporate marriage, and I will never agree to this marriage." After saying this, everyone looked at Lin Han who had been silent all the time, and Lin's mother's expression was a little more surprised, and there was a subtle feeling in the air. Awkward.

"Xiaohan, what were you talking about just now?" Mother Lin frowned and asked in a tight voice.

"Mom and Dad, I'm sorry, I won't agree to this marriage." Lin Han stood up slowly, looked at her parents and said in a low voice, then, she looked at Cheng Yiru's parents with clear and firm eyes, and said: "I I'm leaving."

Seeing the figure of Lin Han turning and leaving, everyone's faces were full of puzzlement, as well as unwillingness to fail to negotiate a deal. After a long time, they turned around and looked at each other.At this time, Cheng Yiru got up and chased them out, leaving the faces of both parents even more puzzled.

In the corridor of the hotel, Cheng Yiru grabbed Lin Han's arm, and the two looked at each other. Facing Lin Han's angry gaze, Cheng Yiru smiled at the corner of his mouth.

"You are so courageous that you dare not even give your parents face."

"Then why didn't you reject this marriage?" Lin Han broke free from his arm and looked at him.

"Why should I refuse?" Cheng Yiru asked back, and he looked at her in the same way: "I like you, wouldn't it be better for you to marry me?"

"I won't agree."

"Do you dare to refuse you to try." He stared at Lin Han closely, and said word by word: "Enterprise marriage is a fate that every child born in a wealthy family cannot escape. Acquisition, both groups own 50% of the shares, this is a mutually beneficial business, in addition, your Lin Group has recently run out of funds, the company is in crisis, and needs help and support, and our Cheng Group can provide you That’s why your parents agreed to this marriage without considering your opinion, after all, for them, the interests of the company are more important than anything else.”

"..."

"Only if the two parties get married, merge their companies, and make the company the strongest, will it be in the best interest of each other. This is also the best way to save Lin's group."

"What will happen if you don't get married?"

"The Lin Group will continue to operate in this depressed state until it goes bankrupt, or is acquired by the Cheng Group, changes its surname and becomes a subsidiary of the Cheng Group."

"..."

Cheng Yiru lowered his head and stared at the bewildered Lin Han, and asked in a low voice: "Actually, this matter is easy to say, the fate of the Lin Group is in your hands, as long as you agree to the marriage, all problems will be resolved. "

"If you don't get married, you will die, right?" Lin Han looked at him and asked.

"Yes." Cheng Yiru answered her resolutely. He looked at her, and the determination in his eyes turned into tenderness in an instant. He said in a low voice, "Even if it's for the benefit of the group, it's fine if you marry me."

Lin Han raised her head, stared at him fiercely with bright eyes, and answered him decisively and resolutely: "Absolutely not." After speaking, she turned and left.

"So what if you marry me?"

Cheng Yiru's voice came from behind, she didn't look back, let alone stay for a moment.

On the way home, Lin Han sat in the car blankly, looking at the foreign country outside the window indifferently. In this strange country, facing the crisis of the company, she missed a person crazily in her heart. .

When she got home, she saw that her parents were already waiting in the living room, and when she saw her coming back, they stood up at the same time, as if they had been preparing for a long time, ready to start this conversation.

Lin Han walked over and sat across from them. In the living room, there was silence.

"Xiao Han." Lin's mother shouted cautiously. Looking at Lin Han's face, she finally made up her mind and said, "Can you marry the young master of the Cheng family? Mom is begging you."

"I've made it very clear just now, I won't marry him." Lin Han replied resolutely.

"why is that?"

"There is no other reason, I have no relationship with him, so there is no need to put two people who have no relationship together."

"Emotions can be cultivated." Mother Lin said sternly. She looked at the daughter opposite and said, "I can see that Young Master Cheng likes you very much."

"But I don't like him." Lin Han raised his head to meet his mother's gaze, his eyes were clear: "Mom, I know that our group is facing a crisis of shortage of funds recently and needs their help, but even so, I still can't accept you Treat me like a commodity to negotiate a deal."

"If you don't accept it, you have to accept it. As the heir of the Lin Group, you are obliged to make sacrifices when the group is in crisis. Besides, corporate marriage is something you have faced since you were born. Now it's just this day. It's just coming, you marrying that person is the best way to keep the Lin Group."

Silence, oppressive silence.

Lin Han looked at her mother as if she was looking at a stranger. After a long time, she said in a low voice, "Is there no other way? If I don't agree to the marriage, then they will not only refuse to save her, but will also cut off her mother." The source of funding for our company, let us fend for ourselves right?"

"Yes." Lin's mother answered her cruelly: "The stock of the company will fall before we can fend for ourselves, and those who covet Lin's group will immediately take advantage of it and drive me and your father out of the company."

Lin Han sat on the sofa blankly, listening to what his mother said, his mind went blank.

"Xiao Han." Lin's mother's tone softened, she went to sit next to Lin Han, stroked her face lovingly, and begged in her tone: "You have been quiet and obedient since you were a child, well-behaved and sensible, now you are When it comes to the fate of the Lin Group, I will listen to my mother once, okay? As long as you marry him, the company's situation will improve immediately. In the future, the two companies of Lin Cheng will join forces and develop hand in hand, which will be the best for each other favorable."

"Who proposed the marriage?" Lin Han looked at her and asked, his dark eyes radiating a desperate light.

"Cheng Group."

This answer actually let Lin Han breathe a sigh of relief. She thought carefully, then looked at her mother, and said comfortingly: "Mom, don't worry, we will have other solutions."

"Yes, we have other ways." Father Lin, who had been sitting silently by the side, said.

Lin Han got up and looked at his father who was looking at him firmly, with eyes full of gratitude.

Cheng's villa.

Lin Han patiently looked at Cheng Yiru who was opposite him. He was drinking red wine leisurely, with calm eyes and a calm look.

After a long time, he put down his wine glass and looked sideways at Lin Han, and said calmly, "That's right, I proposed the marriage between the two companies to my parents. The group has become stronger, so you have the best of both worlds, but you refused."

"What exactly do you want to do?"

"I just want you to marry me."

Quiet, oppressively quiet.The two looked at each other.Cheng Yiru's casual smile disappeared from the corner of his mouth, his eyes were deep and full of affection, and he said, "Are you here to beg me? Beg me to let my parents not help the Lin Group on the premise of a business marriage, right?"

"Yes." Lin Han replied.

"Impossible. In business and business, we won't do business that loses money." Cheng Yiru looked at her with a trace of cruelty in his eyes: "Unless you marry me, otherwise, we will die."

Simple rejection, realistic and cruel.Lin Han turned around with despair, his back was light and lonely...
