When the local rich meet the real rich

At nine o'clock in the morning the next day, the revolving restaurant of BX Grand Hotel.

Xu Bin arrived a few minutes earlier than the agreed time, and sure enough, he did not see Ferre in front of the reserved dining table.

This is in line with Fei Dazhuanzi's style of being punctual, neither late nor early.

But the other party didn't make him wait long.

Almost as soon as Xu Bin took his seat, he heard footsteps behind him. There were very few customers in the revolving restaurant at nine o'clock, and the sound of hard-soled leather shoes stepping on the marble floor was particularly noticeable.

Sensing the sound of footsteps approaching his table, Xu Bin turned to look back, and sure enough, the person who came was exactly the person he was waiting for.

"Xu Bin?"

Fei Lei had a contagious smile on his face, Xu Bin was slightly taken aback by his appearance.

Unexpectedly, Fei Dazhuanzi turned out to have a baby face, and a tall, long-legged, delicate and handsome baby face.

Looking at Ferre, it's hard to imagine him in his thirties. Despite his slim blue business suit, he looks more like the lead singer of an idol boy group than an agricultural tycoon with a global business.

"Xiao Binbin, did I scare you? Hahahaha."

Seeing the slightly surprised expression on Xu Bin's face, Fei Lei was quite proud. He took the initiative to hold Xu Bin's hand, and then patted Xu Bin's arm, which was very sophisticated.

Although slightly startled, when he heard Fei Lei calling him affectionately, Xu Bin immediately let go of the strangeness, smiled and held the other's hand tightly.

The two sat down together happily.

As soon as he sat down, a waiter brought coffee, and Ferre pointed to his dark circles under his eyes while lifting the coffee cup to his mouth, "Please bring the coffee pot, I need to drink more I can stand it."

Xu Bin was amused by his appearance. Although he was not sure about his appearance, Fei Lei's personality was the same as that on the Internet, as straightforward and cheerful.

The two chatted while drinking coffee, because they are long-time friends, and their personalities are compatible, so there are naturally many topics to talk about.

After talking straight for almost half an hour, the two haven't talked about the topic yet.

Ferre grew up drinking foreign ink, and lived abroad all year round. He naturally has a foreign style. When it comes to excitement, his eyebrows are often beaming and his hands are constantly making small movements.

With his appearance and his baby face, he looked even younger, as if he was in his early twenties, which made Xu Bin unconsciously think that he was the more mature and prudent of the two, but in fact Fei Lei was older than him. To be three years older.

After refilling the cup of coffee for the other party, Xu Bin smiled enthusiastically, "I've been looking forward to you for five years, and I finally have you here. This time I'm here for an inspection, try to stay a few days longer, I want to treat you well."

"Haha, do you think I'm a fool, Xiao Binbin, you Northeast people drink so much, and your reputation has even spread to North America, how dare I stay longer, this time I will stay for a week at most, and I will leave after inspecting the project. By the way , Speaking of which, in the contract we just signed, have you noticed that I added an investor."

Xu Bin smiled lightly, and said, "I noticed, didn't he also participate in several projects before, I don't worry about the investors you found, and there is no need to mention this matter."

Because this investor has cooperated before, and the contract is written with a continuous English name, Xu Bin can't recognize it clearly, and he didn't study it carefully. Lei's trust, he did not inquire too much about this person's situation.

But Fei Lei's expression turned serious, "Xiao Binbin, I actually lied to you before!"

Hearing this, Xu Bin's hand holding the coffee cup froze.

"The first few projects we cooperated with, except for your investment, the rest were undertaken by him. On my side, I actually only did technical support."

Xu Bin put down his coffee cup, frowned and looked at Fei Lei.

"Why are you talking now?"

"Because I was not familiar with you at first, but we are friends with him, and this matter is completely harmless to me, so I agreed."

"Then what do you mean by telling me now?"

"Because in this contract, I have already entrusted him to participate in the actual operation, and you will work together. I also asked him to come over today."

Seeing the apologetic expression on Fei Lei's face, Xu Bin knew that he already felt guilty.

In fact, in the final analysis, whether it is the previous investment or this entrustment, it is Ferre's private matter after all. There are no special restrictions in the contract. As a partner, as long as it does not affect his own interests, Xu Bin does not need to go into it. I don't want to argue with Ferre, and I'm even happy that the other party told him the truth. This is a rare trust.

Xu Bin was full of doubts about the new person in charge of the operation who was about to cooperate with him. This person was actually more mysterious than Fei Lei, and what was his purpose in hiding the investment share?Suddenly, he had an unrealistic guess in his mind.

But before Xu Bin could draw a concrete shape for this guess, he saw Ferre stood up, looked behind him, and showed a bright smile, "Say Cao Cao Cao Cao is here, come, let me introduce you. "

Xie Xinze had already walked to the table. He nodded to Fei Lei, then turned to face Xu Bin, and said in a calm voice, "No need to introduce, we just met yesterday."

Looking at Xie Xinze's handsome and self-sufficient face, and the not-so-obvious bruises on the corners of his mouth, the veins on Xu Bin's forehead suddenly popped up. He clenched his back molars tightly, and even deformed the muscles on his cheeks.

This person has been hiding behind his back for five years!

He thought that supporting himself in his career would make up for those shortcomings?What did he think of the relationship between the two of them? !

If Ferre hadn't been there, he might have punched Xie Xinze in the face again.

But Xu Bin finally forced himself to calm down. He already knew that when facing Xie Xinze, impulsiveness and anger can't solve the problem at all, especially at this time the other party seems to be much calmer than him.And with Fei Lei by his side, he didn't want both of them to lose face. Emotional matters are emotional matters, and business is business. Xu Bin has always kept these things separate.

Xie Xinze noticed that Xu Bin was trying his best to suppress his anger, and it seemed that he still saved some face for himself, which made him feel moved.

Of course, Xie Xinze didn't want to hide the fact that he had funded and supported Xu Bin to try new projects, but the two broke up so badly back then, maybe he would be flatly rejected by the other party if he directly came forward to do anything for Xu Bin.

And just like what Xu Bin once said, he doesn't need anything. Xie Xinze really can't think of what else he can do for him after he leaves. Let him feel supported in times of troughs and difficulties.

But this intention was obviously misunderstood by Xu Bin because of the various misunderstandings between the two, but Xie Xinze knew that he was not qualified to blame the other party, because he was too self-righteous.

"I'm sorry I didn't tell you before."

His words were very short, and when he said it, there was no special expression on his face, he just met Xu Bin's angry eyes, and did not dodge the slightest.

"Heh, there's no need to apologize. This is a business. Anyone who invests is the same. I recognize money but not people."

Xu Bin leaned on the back of the chair, playing with the coffee spoon on the plate with one hand, he sneered, his face was full of contempt and disdain.

Fei Lei on the side was surprised by the confrontation between the two. It seems that the relationship between Xie Xinze and Xu Bin is not simple. He knew that when Xie Xinze persuaded him to invest in the Northeast, he contributed money and effort, and it would never be groundless. Whim!

Although he has made a lot of money, the feeling of being concealed is not very pleasant after all, and Xie Xinze is the one who is more uncomfortable than him.

Xu Bin couldn't see it sitting opposite, but Fei Lei glanced down and saw Xie Xinze's hand hanging by his side clenched into a fist, which showed how he was feeling at the moment.

Ferre, who had never seen a friend like this before, decided to suppress his little emotions first, and waited quietly to see what kind of drama the two of them were going to play.

However, the facts made Ferre somewhat disappointed, and there was no bloody drama between the two.

After Xie Xinze took his seat, Xu Bin adjusted his status as quickly as possible. The three of them took out the contract and project proposal at the same time, and discussed the details.

Everything was carried out in a business-like atmosphere, and everything went smoothly at first, but when it came to the construction of the project, Xie Xinze raised questions about some details.

"I always have doubts about the site selection of this project, whether the mountainous slope is suitable for the construction of sightseeing facilities."

This idea was first proposed by Ferre. He was about to answer the conversation, but Xu Bin took the lead and grabbed the conversation, "This is precisely the highlight of the project. We will build platforms on slopes and set up retractable The glass dome builds a unique viewing platform. This design has not been used in similar agricultural sightseeing projects before, and it will definitely be very attractive to tourists. Mr. Xie, didn’t you go into details before participating in the discussion? Have you read the project book?"

Xu Bin looked at Xie Xinze with unusually sharp eyes, as if saying, you idiot.

Facing doubts, Xie Xinze remained calm, with a more serious expression on his face. He pointed to a detail in the project book and said, "Of course I have read the project book, but I think this is precisely the most risky part of the whole project. There are many torrential rains and torrents in the Northeast in summer, and landslides occur from time to time. However, in the project documents and architectural design drawings, it is not marked that reinforcement treatment is required here, and even if reinforcement is done, there may still be hidden dangers. I recommend this The place is changed to a fully transparent landscape elevator, the foundation is deeply buried, and do not connect with the mountain, so the risk will be greatly reduced."

He noticed the beating flames in Xu Bin's eyes, and then slowed down and added, "Mr. Xu, I'm not picky about details, but often a single thought will bring not only economic losses, but sometimes even human lives."

Xu Bin didn't want to agree with Xie Xinze's point of view, but the other party's words were not completely unreasonable, which made him even more annoyed. It was inevitable that he mixed some personal emotions into it.

"Mountain reinforcement must be done. This is basic common sense, and there is no need for special remarks. As for your suggestion, Mr. Xie, may I think that you lack innovation in project construction? Your conservativeness makes me question the quality of your project operation. ability."

Xu Bin's words were sharp, and his eyes were even more sharp, staring at Xie Xinze closely, which made the atmosphere very tense for a while.

But Xie Xinze did not confront each other. He finally softened his attitude and said, "Mr. Xu, I appreciate your courage to try new things, and I think this is the basis for our happy cooperation. It is always better to complement each other."

When Xu Bin saw Xie Xinze say such stinky and shameless words with an expressionless handsome face, he was so angry that his intestines knotted.

Who the hell wants to have fun with you?Who and you are we?They also fucking complement each other and make you a big head ghost!

Just as he was about to continue his attack, there happened to be a waiter bringing the meal. After being interrupted, Xu Bin could only hold back his anger.

Ferre saw that the atmosphere between the two of them was a bit too tense. Although it was not a big deal to watch the excitement, the three of them were partners after all. If they messed up, he would suffer accordingly, so he spoke to reconcile.

"Haha, let's not patronize talking about projects, come, have some coffee and something to eat."

The meals at the breakfast meeting were just for show, with only a sandwich and a spoonful of fruit salad on their plate in front of each of them.

Xie Xinze paid attention to Xu Bin's every move, and saw that he was not interested in these two things, just drinking coffee blindly, could not help frowning slightly,

"I'm going to the bathroom."

He wiped the corners of his mouth with a napkin, then stood up.

As soon as Xie Xinze left, Fei Lei immediately showed a gossiping expression, and approached Xu Bin, "Damn, Xiao Binbin, why didn't you tell me that Xie Xinze is your ex-boyfriend!"

Xu Bin: "..."

Fei Lei immediately showed a more deadly expression, "Could it be the incumbent?!"

Xu Bin was also very angry, "Don't pretend to be with me, how dare you say you don't know what relationship I have with him?"

Fei Lei widened his already round eyes, pointed to the sky and said, "Xiao Binbin, you have wronged me, you know that you are in this relationship, how could I get involved? You two almost got involved in that trip just now. I'm having a heart attack!!!"

After finishing speaking, Ferre patted his chest and took a sip of coffee to suppress his shock.

Xu Bin was still angry, and lightly thumped the table with his hand, "I'm done with him long ago, but Xie Xinze is such an egomaniac, if he doesn't clean up properly, can he keep it for the New Year?"

Seeing his agitation, Fei Lei hurriedly stroked his hair, "Yes, we must clean it up, and we won't be able to fatten it up until the Chinese New Year. Killing it won't be enough for a meal!"

Xu Bin, "..."

While talking, Xie Xinze returned to his seat.

Before he sat down, he looked at Xu Bin, and found that the other party didn't care about him at all, and kept flipping through the project book.

Ferre, on the other hand, held up his coffee cup to cover half of his face, staring at him with big gossip eyes, and kept turning his eyes following his movements.

Xie Xinze: "..."

At this time the waiter came again with the tray.

"Sir, I'll help you change your meal."

The waiter said while helping Xu Bin change the plate.

On the newly replaced plate, there was a soup and a small yellow meal bag, which looked more appetizing than the previous meal.

Xu Bin was wondering, so he heard Xie Xinze from the opposite side say in a flat tone, "You don't like salad dressing, so I ordered this for you, eat a little bit, it's not good to drink coffee on an empty stomach."

Fei Lei, who was on the side, immediately stretched out his neck to look at Xu Bin's plate, and then showed an expression of "what a big bowl of dog food".

Xu Bin took a deep breath, feeling that his lungs were a little sour. After so many years, Xie Xinze still remembered his little eating habits.

However, he didn't touch those meals after all, he just said, "My son gets up at six o'clock every day, and we have breakfast together at seven o'clock, Mr. Xie, your kindness has expired."

The hand holding the coffee cup trembled slightly, and Xie Xinze almost spilled the dark brown liquid in the cup.

Fei Lei on the side was so shocked that his eyes popped out of his eyes. Xu Bin had a son, and he hadn't let him know about it before.

However, looking sideways at Xie Xinze's reaction, Fei Lei felt that it was obviously inappropriate to ask in detail at this time, so he quickly pretended nothing happened, and saved the scene with a smile, "Come on, let's continue the discussion, continue the discussion."

After that, the three of them discussed several other contents of the project document together. With Ferre's participation, the atmosphere of the meeting eased a lot.

In the end, it was confirmed that it was correct, and the three signed together.

After signing the name and putting down the pen, Xu Bin looked down coldly and said to Xie Xinze, "Mr. Xie, the contract for this project was signed before, and I will not break the contract, but in the future, I do not want to have any further relations with you." cooperate."

Xie Xinze's eyes dimmed, but he finally stood up and stretched out his hand to Xu Bin, "Yes, I respect your choice."

Xu Bin looked at his hand, but he didn't shake it. He greeted Fei Lei, then turned and left.

This time, Xie Xinze didn't chase after him, he focused on watching Xu Bin's leaving back, as if he forgot that Fer Lei was sitting beside him.

Seeing him in a daze, Fei Lei stretched out his hand and shook it in front of his eyes. Seeing that the other person regained his senses, he couldn't hold back his excitement. He raised half of his eyebrows and asked Xie Xinze, "Chris, is he your ex? The son is also yours?"

Xie Xinze lowered his head and smiled wryly, "It is indeed an ex, but the child is not mine."

"Wow, chris, you are really hard-working. I think Xu Bin's eyes look like he wants to kill you. Did you do something to offend him? Did you cuckold Xiao Binbin? Probably not, You're not that kind of person."

Ferre looked at his friend with doubts and expectations.

Xie Xinze has no intention of sharing his personal affairs with others, especially about Xu Bin, and he is even more reluctant to let people talk about him behind his back. "I suggest you put aside your curiosity. This is a private matter and has nothing to do with project cooperation."

"It's really irrelevant? Don't lie, why did you find me five years ago? Chris, if you want to get Xiao Binbin back, you'd better act fast."

Xie Xinze: "????"

Fei Lei laughed, looking innocent and harmless, "After all, Xiao Binbin is so cute, I can't help but want to chase him, hahaha!"

Xie Xinze immediately frowned, looking at his friend like two sharp knives.

Fei Lei spread his hands innocently, "Why are you staring at me? You've already been dumped, you need to recognize the reality. Besides, Xiao Binbin and I have chatted online for five years, are we soul mates?"
