Flashy Circle 3

Next, the old lady and Qi Che changed the subject.

Qi Fei quietly exited the room.

-

The formal family banquet of the Qi family will be in the evening, and the current luncheon is a buffet style.

"Boss,...boss?"

"Huh?" Qi Fei came back to his senses and responded to Kang Ziwei, "What's wrong?"

Kang Ziwei asked with concern, "Are you okay? I see you have been staring at the steak on the plate for a long time, is there something on your mind?"

From the very beginning, Qi Fei was fascinated by holding a plate.

He smiled, "...it's okay. I just had a flash of inspiration, and I'm thinking about it."

"Really? Then we have to work hard." Kang Ziwei said with a smile.After chatting with Qi Yuan and the old lady, he has relaxed now.

At this moment, the servant beside the old lady came to look for Kang Ziwei, "Mr. Kang, the old lady asks you to have dinner tonight before leaving, is that okay?"

Many relatives present stopped to look at them.

The old lady would not just open her mouth to invite people to a family dinner.

Kang Ziwei was flattered, "...Me?"

"Yes, you can reply to the old lady." Qi Fei answered for him.

"Okay." The servant left.

"This...isn't that good?" Kang Ziwei looked at Qi Fei worriedly.

Qi Yuan came over, "What's wrong, grandma admits that you are a family, you should be overjoyed."

Kang Ziwei reacted, scratched his head, and smiled embarrassedly.

"Not bad, it seems that Grandma likes you very much." Qi Yuan smiled, "The old lady has always had a difficult time speaking!"

Kang Ziwei looked at Qi Fei with a smirk, and the latter nodded and smiled back.

-

Taking advantage of Qi Fei's walking away, Qi Yuan said to Kang Ziwei, "You're treated really well. Grandma has never personally invited Qi Fei's ex-boyfriend to a family banquet."

Kang Ziwei was surprised, "...Really?"

In the past so many years, Grandma Tai never once invited Ning Haiteng to a family dinner.

Qi Fei wanted to breathe, so he walked to the bench in the backyard and sat down.

He just realized that it was "illegal" for him to bring Ning Haiteng to a family banquet in the past.The grandma acquiesced to his behavior, but she never publicly stated that Ning Haiteng was a member of the Qi family.

Qi Fei raised his head, and the woody flowers crowded on the branches one after another, trembling like turbulent snow waves, rolling out a warm fragrance.

Years ago, same place, same time.He lay on the bench, pillowed on Ning Haiteng's thigh, watching him leaning against the back of the chair with his eyes closed.

In this way, I can watch it for a long time, a long time.

-

Qi Che passed by the corridor, Qi Fei saw him, got up and called him, "Uncle Fifth!"

Qi Che turned around and said with a smile, "What's wrong?"

"..." Qi Fei bowed his head, "Before, you were in Grandma's room...I heard everything you said about Ning Haiteng."

Hearing this, Qi Che put away his smile and frowned, expressing dissatisfaction with his eavesdropping behavior.

"I didn't mean to listen,...I wanted to go in and have a few words with grandma, but I just overheard it."

Qi Che sighed, "Then what do you want to say now?"

Qi Fei looked at him, "Ning Haiteng is in such a difficult situation now, if you cut off the cooperative relationship with him, wouldn't it be worse?"

Qi Che returned to the role of the superior, "The Qi family is not the only partner of the Ning family. If Ning Haiteng cannot survive without the support of the Qi family, then I will be grateful for the current decision; besides, the cooperation in the business is based on interests. As Qi's manager, my greatest responsibility is to ensure that the company operates normally and is profitable."

"But..." Qi Fei naturally understands that every business decision has its reasons, but emotionally, he cannot turn a blind eye. "However, although we are no longer a couple, we are still friends. I... want to help him."

"Xiaoqi," Qi Che recalled Qi Fei's nickname, "... Grandma has never invited Ning Haiteng to a family dinner, do you know why?"

"...?"

"Because grandma doesn't like him."

"Although grandma married into the Qi family, she has the pride of nobility in her bones. She can get along with ordinary people, but she can't tolerate shady forces. Ning Haiteng's most important identity...you know it well. Everyone has their own bottom line, Ning Haiteng has exceeded her bottom line, but she has never said anything in front of you for so many years, because she knows you love him, so she endured it.

"Now you ask us to help Ning Haiteng, what position do you put grandma in? She is already 90 years old, can't we follow her heart for once?"

"I..." Qi Fei "I" didn't say anything.He is at a loss for words.

Qi Che touched his head, "Xiao Qi, I understand that you still have some feelings for him. But Ning Haiteng is not your only choice. As a rival in the business, I respect him; but as your elders, I don't like him very much. He is too hostile and too deep in the city. He is not suitable for you.

"...Think about it carefully."

Qi Che left, and Qi Fei stood there alone.

-

I never knew that grandma didn't like Ning Haiteng.It was never known whether Ning Haiteng knew about it.

Qi Fei stood where he was, and suddenly felt that he had never really understood the people around him.

For so many years, how did grandma face him and Ning Haiteng; and how did Ning Haiteng face her unpopularity.

But what's the point of knowing this now?As Uncle Wu said, Ning Haiteng is not his only choice.And he did make another choice.

He can only think about grandma's feelings now.

It's not that he doesn't want to help Ning Haiteng.He has no ability and no position.

-

The family dinner in the evening was amazing.In the end, everyone returned home happily.

"Boss, thank you today." When Qi Fei sent Kang Ziwei back, the latter said to him.Kang Ziwei was unconfident and anxious before, but this trip to Qi's family, with the approval of Qi Fei's family, he gained full confidence - nothing can compare to Ning Haiteng, he has his own Advantage.

"You're welcome, there will be many opportunities like this in the future." Qi Fei replied with a smile.

The day of family reunion is coming to an end.

-

It's three o'clock in the night.Qi Fei tossed and turned.

Finally got up from bed.

He called Ling Shang and abruptly cut off the hot and passionate communication between the other party and the foreign beauties.

So, when Qi Fei came to Ling Shang's presidential suite, he had a resentful face.

"You said you have something important to tell me, what is it?" Ling Shang impatiently supported half of his face with one hand.

Qi Fei sat down, moved his lips, and said, "The Qi family will cut off all cooperation with the Ning company...the four piers in the Port of Rotterdam will also be taken back."

Hearing this, Ling Shang's expression became serious, and he changed his sitting position, "...Really?"

"I heard it with my own ears, and I even talked to Uncle Wu."

"Hmm..." Ling Shang was lost in thought.

Soon, he picked up his phone and dialed the number.

"Hey, it's me."

Qi Fei stared at Ling Shang on the phone.

"Release one-third of Ning's stock for me. Take your time and don't attract others' attention."

Qi Fei was startled, "Ling Shang!"

Ling Shang glanced at him, and said to the other end of the phone, "That's it for now, I will contact you again if I have any instructions."

"Why are you doing this?" Qi Fei stood up, "I told you this news because I wanted you to tell Ning Haiteng so that he could be prepared. How could you...can you do this?!"

"Why can't I do this?" Ling Shang put his phone away, "It's you. You came to the person in charge of Ling's in the middle of the night to tell the person in charge of Qi's insider news, in order to help Ning's? Don't you think this is even more unreasonable? ?

"I'm the president and owner of a company. It's impossible to disregard my own company to help other companies with such business news. I guess your fifth uncle told you the same way. Isn't it?"

"But we are good friends with Ning Haiteng! You have to call him first for this relationship!"

"Then why don't you just fight yourself?" Ling Shang answered, "Since you said 'we' and him are good friends."

"I, I..." Qi Fei choked, he sat down and took a breath, "I don't want him to misunderstand that I still have feelings for him."

"We all have our own concerns." Ling Shang leaned back in his chair, "I will definitely call Ning Haiteng, but not now. Besides, he is busy in Southeast Asia right now, so why distract him?"

"What if the notice is late and the impact is serious?" Qi Fei asked urgently.

Ling Shang looked at him in disbelief, "It's strange, no matter how troublesome things Ning Haiteng encountered in the past, you didn't see you in such a hurry? Is it rare for him to see the wind and waves? If he is so easily 'severed from cooperation' by a company Seriously affected, how did he survive until today?"

Ling Shang called the butler to deliver two glasses of red wine, "Don't worry, he is Ning Haiteng."

The butler handed the red wine to Qi Fei respectfully, Qi Fei was angry and refused to take it, "Then what if the blow is serious this time? Are you too confident?"

Ling Shang replied, "Ning Haiteng has his judgment and self-esteem as a manager and ruler. It's not that you can help him if you want to. Your enthusiasm may be counterproductive. He is the Ning family and the Ning family. It's not an easy job to get into either position; he's got it and he's done a good job. If that's not enough confidence, I don't know what to say."

Ling Shang took the red wine from the housekeeper and handed it to Qi Fei, "It's not as bad as you think. If he really needs help, he will naturally contact me. He never relents when it comes to exploiting labor."

"..." Qi Fei took the wine.

"I said Qi Fei, do you still miss Ning Haiteng?"

"Nothing....I just want to help as a friend." Qi Fei took a sip of his wine.

Ling Shang walked over and sat down beside Qi Fei, "It doesn't matter even if you can't forget it, let me tell you a truth: there are only two reasons why you can't forget your old love - one is that the new love is not good enough, and the other is that the time is not long enough. Oh, There is a third reason, that is, there are two reasons.”

Qi Fei frowned.

"Really~ There will be no other reasons. Those loves and hates are just floating clouds. As long as the new love is good enough and the time is long enough, any emotional bumps will become smooth."

Don't think that "old love" is so deep, it's just meeting the wrong person at the wrong time and spending a lot of money.

"... You said it so clearly, have you experienced it?" Qi Fei replied.

"Hey, I haven't seen pig running or eaten pork~" Ling Shang smiled, "I tell you, there are many newcomers in CATHEDRAL, should I introduce some to you? Soon you will forget that Ning Haiteng and What is that Kang?"

"You're so vulgar!"

"Didn't I just want to help you?"

"I'm not as nostalgic as you say! I'm just as a friend..."

"Okay." Ling Shang stopped him, "Don't call me 'friends' again. You are deceiving yourself and others after breaking up. There are only two reasons why you can be friends. I didn't let go of my feelings; everything else was just an excuse. Where are there so many 'friends'?

"Qi Fei, you can't do this. Didn't you say you want to move forward? Ning Haiteng is fine now, you don't need to think about him at all. Even if he really falls down, the property accumulated by his family before is enough for him to squander for several lifetimes." gone."

"..."

Ling Shang put down his wine glass. "Okay, I've said everything I want to say, go to bed." He looked at Qi Fei, "You chased away my little beauty, so you can stay and be my company tonight."

"No."

-

What Ling Shang said was not unreasonable.

Qi Fei lay on the bed thinking, after he and Ning Haiteng broke up, can they really still be friends?Or is the friend just a thin membrane that hazes over their relationship?

Or did he just want to look dashing? ——Look, we can still be friends, I don't really value our past that much.

-

many years ago.

A cold ward.

Ning Haiteng passed the critical period and was pushed out of the intensive care unit and transferred here.

He was still wrapped in white gauze, and his face was pale.

Qi Fei walked over step by step, walked to the side of the hospital bed, and said softly, "Hai Teng?"

Ning Haiteng has not yet regained consciousness, only the equipment at the side tells Qi Feiren that he is still alive.

He suffered extensive burns to his chest.The white gauze was faintly dripping with blood.

Qi Fei held his hand, "The little rabbit is here, you will be fine."

He didn't cry.

He has not cried.

He had to hold back his tears until Ning Haiteng woke up before crying for him.He wants him to grieve, regret, and then better protect himself.

But the wait is long.The doctor said he would wake up in a few hours.

He really couldn't bear it to the end.When Ning Haiteng's eyelids trembled, his tears fell straight down.

-

Qi Fei opened his eyes.He woke up crying.

Suddenly remembering that Ling Shang was lying beside him, he bit his lip, turned around, and secretly wiped his tears with a corner of the pillow towel.

"...Are you okay?" Ling Shang's voice came from behind.

Knowing that he was awake, Qi Fei nodded, "...I'm sorry."

Ling Shang sighed.

The two were silent for a while, and Qi Fei said, "...Ling Shang, have you ever met such a person? You obviously want to forget, and you tell yourself not to think about it, but he still often appears in dreams..." My heart is full of sorrows, which arouses shock in my heart.

"...No." Ling Shang turned to look at him, "Qi Fei, trust me. You just haven't forgotten him long enough. That's all."

Qi Fei sobbed softly, "...you should call him and tell him about Qi's decision..." After all, he was thinking about this matter.

"Okay, okay." Ling Shang picked up the phone resignedly.

He pressed the speakerphone, "Hi, it's me."

"What's wrong?" This time it was Ning Haiteng's voice.

"I just received the news that the Qi family intends to sever cooperation with you, and you can't keep the four terminals in the port of Rotterdam."

He paused there for a while, and replied calmly, "Understood."

Ling Shang glanced at Qi Fei and continued to ask, "...Is there anything I can help you with?"

"nothing now."

"Have you thought of a coping strategy?"

"Not yet. But there's always a way."

"I really don't need help? I'm afraid you're just holding on."

"No, I'm fine. It's not the first time this has happened, and it won't be the last."

"Okay. How about Southeast Asia?"

"Still in the seesaw."

"... If there is anything, you must contact me immediately."

"What's wrong with you?" Ning Haiteng on the other end chuckled, "It's very wordy."

"...Okay, then I'll hang up, is it okay?" Ling Shang couldn't stand asking himself such questions.

"Beep..." ended the call.

"Relaxed?" Ling Shang handed Qi Fei a tissue.

"... Hmm." The latter nodded.

After wiping away his tears, Qi Fei understood one thing.

There is no way for him to be friends with Ning Haiteng calmly.Ordinary friends are no good.

If he wanted to move forward, he could only turn a blind eye to Ning Haiteng and listen to him.
