not a decent stand-in

In winter in the imperial capital, the weather is getting colder and there are already signs of snow.

The Zhenghai international competition case is still a hot topic of discussion.

The news that the Xiang family regained the majority shareholder of Zhenghai International soon became a classic case of takeover and anti-takeover in the business world.

There are also good news media, who sorted out all the things that happened in Zhenghai in the past six months, analyzed and compared the forces of several factions, and waited with relish to see the next trend of the situation.

Some business schools have also quickly updated this case of equity competition, which means that it is not a big deal to watch the excitement.

And these earth-shattering researches and discussions have nothing to do with Xiang Yindong, the only thing he cares about at the moment is how to completely defeat Lin Jincheng.

Returning to the company, there are many things to deal with, Xiang Yindong has been busy all the time, so he can only temporarily put personal matters aside.

Although Lin Jincheng has lost his status as a major shareholder, he is still the chairman and still has the right to make decisions about the company's affairs.

Xiang Yindong began to visit the shareholders one by one, hoping to get their support and initiate the reelection of the board of directors as soon as possible.

Chu Dongming has been in Cao Ying for the past two months, and his heart is in Han. Now he can finally return to his original appearance, and he is much more energetic.

"Xiaodong, I've been exhausted for the past two months, and I want to retire early!"

"How could it be, Uncle Dong is always strong and strong, and I will still rely on you in the future!"

"Hey... If you hadn't guessed that there was something wrong with Lin Jincheng early on, I might really have been used by them!"

"I should thank Uncle Dong for his trust all the time!"

Xiang Yindong patted Chu Dongming on the shoulder and smiled sincerely.

Chu Dongming nodded, and took a deep breath: "Now that the lithium battery project has been stopped by Lin Jincheng, it is estimated that it will be difficult to restart it in a while. We must show some achievements in order to keep shareholders' confidence in us. Otherwise, Zhenghai Once trading resumes, the stock price will definitely be greatly affected!"

"This is also what I am most worried about. Although the resumption of trading has been delayed, if there is no good news, investors will definitely not buy it..."

"Now that things have become like this, Cao Weidong still hasn't come forward in person, and he doesn't know what he's planning!" Chu Dongming snorted disdainfully, "When he came to me to cooperate, he said it as if he was wronged, but I will never die!"

Xiang Yindong was thoughtful when he heard the words: "Uncle Dong, when Cao Weidong left Zhenghai, he had nothing. How did he make a comeback?"

"This..." Chu Dongming thought about it carefully, and said, "Cao Weidong is very good at dealing with people, and he used to have a good relationship with some people who are trying to get out of the way... I don't know what he is doing in recent years. , but when Uniasia Finance was first established, I heard from insiders that this company may be helping others to launder money!"

"Money laundering?" Xiang Yindong was a little surprised, "You mean, someone used Cao Weidong's company to launder dirty money?"

"This is just a rumor, but Uniasia Finance has been so strong in the past few years, but there is no news about their specific business. It is very likely that someone is covering it!"

Chu Dongming's words reminded Xiang Yindong that Uniasia Finance has a great reputation, but its business has always been mysterious, and it is indeed suspected of money laundering.

"Uncle Dong, who is the person above?"

Xiang Yindong squinted his eyes, captured the thief first and captured the king first, it's best to give the big guys behind them some "suffering" first.

"This..." Chu Dongming hesitated to speak.

"Uncle Dong, now that Zhenghai has reached the point of life and death, you can't be worried..."

"I didn't mean that. We're on the same boat now. There's no reason why we don't know the stakes. I'm just not sure if the information is accurate..." Chu Dongming shook his head and said with some embarrassment, "I have always guessed, Maybe...Deputy Mayor Qi..."

"Qi..." Xiang Yindong frowned, "This man is not a showy person..."

"That's why I said I'm not sure..."

"Okay, I know, Uncle Dong, you have worked hard during this time, go back and rest, I will take care of the rest..."

After Chu Dongming left the office, Xiang Yindong immediately called Ying Zhen and asked him to go to his father for help in private and get some information.

Then I asked Alex to find his hacker friend and hack everything from Cao Weidong’s mailbox to his bank account to see if there was anything available.

After finishing all this, it was already past nine o'clock when I came out of the company.

He was just about to call Zuo Tong and ask him to meet and have a good chat, when he ran into Su Yue at the door of the company.

"How did you come?"

"I heard from Alex that you've been working overtime every day until very late, so I'm here to treat you to a late-night snack, won't it be a treat?" Su Yue smiled heartily, as always.

Thinking of the cold war with Zuo Tong in the past few days, an idea came to Xiang Yindong's head, and he agreed: "Okay, but maybe I'm not alone!"

"No problem, I'm interested in meeting your fellow!"

Xiang Yindong nodded and called Zuo Tong.

Zuo Tong agreed very readily. In fact, he regretted the inexplicable anger that day, and he was always thinking about how to explain it clearly to the other party.

Since Xiang Yindong took the initiative to find him, he was also willing to find a way to go down and explain the grievances between the Zuo family and the Su family to him clearly.

Half an hour later, Zuo Tong arrived at the high-end western restaurant of "7thHeaven".

He quickly saw Xiang Yindong, but when he found that there was someone sitting beside him, his face darkened immediately.

"Little Tong..."

Xiang Yindong stood up and greeted him.

Zuo Tong tried his best to restrain his emotions and walked over slowly.

"This is Su Yue, my current partner..." Xiang Yindong didn't notice his abnormality, and introduced with a calm expression, "This is Zuo Tong, my...boyfriend!"

Zuo Tong obviously didn't expect him to introduce himself like this, and his expression became even more embarrassed.

Su Yue, with a smile on her face, stretched out her hand and said, "It's a pleasure to meet you. I often hear Yin Dong mentioning you, so we finally meet!"

Hearing her words, the expression on Zuo Tong's face became more rigid, and he nodded and sat down.

Su Yue's hand was hanging in the air, but the smile on her face did not change. She silently withdrew her hand and sat opposite him.

Xiang Yindong noticed that Zuo Tong's face was gloomy, and he felt a little uneasy.

His idea is actually very simple, let Zuo Tong and Su Yue meet to eliminate his hostility towards each other, and at the same time, show Zuo Tong's identity in front of Su Yue, so that she will not have any unrealistic ideas.

However, all this made Zuo Tong extremely uncomfortable.

Don't say that Su Yue is the daughter of the enemy in his eyes, just the sight of meeting the rival in love makes him really unable to show any good looks.

"Boss Zuo, today is a rare opportunity, I will come to meet you with Yin Dong, you don't mind?"

Compared to Su Yong's smiling face, Zuo Tong's face remained expressionless. He was silent for a while, and then said: "I don't mind, Miss Su is his fiancee, so you don't have to report to me..."

Hearing Zuo Tong's tone, Xiang Yindong was sure that he was really angry, and felt a little unhappy.

He couldn't figure it out, the atmosphere was obviously very good, everyone made friends with each other, and what happened in the company that day could be explained very clearly, why did Zuo Tong still get angry with him?

Seeing that Xiang Yindong's expression changed, Su Yue quickly smiled and said, "What happened that day was indeed an expedient measure, please don't misunderstand me!"

"I don't have time to misunderstand..." Zuo Tong called Waiter over to order a meal, ordered a bottle of good red wine, and said bluntly, "Thank you for visiting my store, this bottle of wine will be considered as a gift for you!"

Xiang Yindong was furious, but it was inconvenient for him to have a fit, so he had to serve Su Yue with wine, and put a smile on his face.

The steaks for the three of them were brought up, and everyone ate individually without speaking.

If you didn't know, you would have thought that the three of them were acting in a mime.

Su Yong wanted to find some topics to brighten up the atmosphere, so she asked about the development of Zuo Tong's company, but Zuo Tong mentioned a few words, obviously not wanting to say more.

She had no choice but to talk about the cooperation with Xiang Yindong, her words were quite proud of it, as if she was the woman standing behind Xiang Yindong, who could share his victory.

Zuo Tong was so tasteless, he listened to each sentence without saying a word, and finally only commented: "Miss Su is indeed amazing, just like your father, she will do anything in order to succeed!"

When Su Yue heard this sentence, her face finally turned pale. She knew that her father had done business with Zuo Tong's father, but it ended in failure.

But it's been so long, the Zuo family is targeting them everywhere, it's too stingy.

Xiang Yindong couldn't eat anymore at this time, Su Yong left first with a cold face, and he had to send the other party to the door.

When he returned to the restaurant, Zuo Tong was still sitting on his seat slowly cutting the steak, but his face was obviously gloomy.

"What the hell is going on with you today?"

Xiang Yindong really couldn't figure it out, he obviously wanted to make things easier, everyone just made it clear, but why did this person want to lead things in a messy direction?

"What's the matter with me?" Zuo Tong raised his head, his eyes were extremely cold, "I think it's her guilty conscience?"

"Xiaotong, Su Yue is my partner now. Things in the company are in a mess. I need her support. Why are you making trouble at this moment?" Xiang Yindong was helpless.

"Do you think I'm making trouble for no reason?" Zuo Tong was also angry, stood up from his seat, and asked, "Have you ever asked me if I want to see her? Why did you bring her here on your own initiative? Why, she Now it's your fiancee, she said she wants to see me, so you insist on me seeing her?"

"She has no conflict with you, why do you have to make everyone so unhappy?"

"There is no conflict? Her existence is the greatest conflict! Her surname is Su, so it is the greatest conflict!"

"You... didn't expect men to be jealous, more unreasonable than women!"

Xiang Yindong was furious, and he didn't want to quarrel with him in public, so he could only turn around and leave by himself.
