In the coffee shop next to the hospital, there were four women sitting and a soft and cute baby. Lu Qian had just arrived at the coffee shop. After seeing the baby in Mo Yurou's arms, she acted the calmest and
He also prepared gifts for the child. Obviously, Yu Jingzhou should have told her about Mo Yurou.
"Yu Rou, we agreed when we were in school that I would be Luo Luo's godmother."
Zhao Keer hugged little Luoluo and couldn't put it down. He teased the child and said.
"It's not impossible to be Luo Luo's godmother. Just show sincerity. Junze, the godfather, directly gave her a manor in the suburbs of London."
Mo Yurou said half-jokingly.
When Zhao Keer heard this, he curled his lips and said.
"How can I compare to that guy Zhuang Junze, who is silent and is actually the major shareholder of Rose Manor, which is the world's top private estate. I'm not as wealthy as him, but what? I mean it's okay, wait until I think about it.
I’m thinking about what kind of gift I should prepare for my goddaughter, and we’ll change our minds when the time comes.”
Mo Yurou listened and said.
"Then let's wait until you have prepared the gift. By the way, I haven't been back for a year. Tell me about Los Angeles. At the charity dinner the day before yesterday, I noticed that there were many new faces."
Mo Yurou spoke curiously. Originally, she was planning to ask Xiao Zichen, but there were too many things going on yesterday and she forgot about it.
When Mo Yurou asked, the expressions of everyone present changed, especially Zhao Ke'er, whose brows knitted together.
When Mo Yurou saw this, she became even more curious and asked.
"What's going on? Is something going to happen?"
"Actually, it's not our side, but the Kyoto side. I also heard my elder brother mention this matter accidentally. The higher-ups are conducting a strict investigation recently, and the people above have become nervous. The Shen family's life has been terrible recently.
How can it be so easy? By the way, didn’t your family tell you? I heard from my eldest brother that Mrs. Shen came back this time. She said she was here to see her daughter, but in fact she came here to raise money."
Zhao Keer said in a low voice, and Mo Yurou guessed the general situation as soon as he heard it. No wonder the Shen family's mother and daughter were together with Mu Jinghao. If the Mu family came forward, even if there was a problem with the Shen family, nothing would happen.
It won't have much impact.
This is what Qin Zhiyan also said.
"Recently, my father often comes back very late and is checking himself everywhere. He is afraid that if there are any mistakes or omissions in the things he has handled before, he will not be able to explain them clearly."
Hearing this, Mo Yurou said quietly.
"It seems like all the big and small companies in Los Angeles have been bleeding heavily recently."
"Isn't that right? Mingxuan's company has been withdrawing funds recently. After all, no matter how powerful a businessman is, he has to find a powerful person to back him up. If he doesn't help at this time, something will happen and everyone will have a hard time."
After some small talk, Mo Yurou already understood the current situation, but for now, Yaohua is still in peace, but he doesn't know how long he can be calm.
Two days later, Yaohua and Sino-Ocean issued a joint statement and attached a family photo, except that the faces of Masnian and Luoluo were mosaic. As soon as the statement came out, the stocks of the two companies rose by the limit for three consecutive days.
Everything seems to be moving in a better and better direction. Xiao Zichen and Mo Yurou have returned to the sweet life they had a year ago. Moreover, with the two little ones, Haotianju has become particularly lively, and Lu Yazhen and his wife are even more lively.
He runs here every two days, and occasionally stays in Haotian.
Luo Luo also had his own scientific name. Xiao Zichen racked his brains, looked up dictionaries and classics, and finally gave Luo Luo a very sweet name, Xiao Yingxi, whose nickname was still Luo Luo.
One evening about a week later, Xiao Zichen got off work on time as usual. When he was about to leave the office, his cell phone rang. It was an unfamiliar number. Xiao Zichen hesitated for a moment and was about to answer the call, but the call was hung up.
Xiao Zichen didn't pay attention. He put away his phone and was about to open the door. At this time, his phone received a text message. When he opened it, Xiao Zichen frowned slightly. After a while, the phone rang again. Xiao Zichen did not hesitate this time and answered the call directly.
"Hey, Xiao Zichen, who is this?"
Xiao Zichen's voice was a little cold.
A majestic and deep voice came from the other side of the phone.
"I'm Shen Peiqiang. I wonder if Mr. Xiao has time now. I have something I want to talk to Mr. Xiao about."
A few days ago, Xiao Zichen and Mo Yurou were chatting about the current situation. It was turbulent and everyone in Luo City was in danger. At that time, the two of them were glad that they were not involved, but now it seems that everything is happy.
It's a little early.
Xiao Zichen didn't think much, looked at the time, and replied.
"Can."
After getting an answer from Xiao Zichen, he reported an address and then hung up the phone.
After that, Xiao Zichen left the company, but before leaving, he called Mo Yurou and told her that he wouldn't be going back for dinner that night, but he didn't say anything about it.
Half an hour later, Xiao Zichen drove to a community, found the apartment according to the address Shen Peiqiang said, and rang the doorbell. After a while, someone opened the door for Xiao Zichen.
The person who opened the door was a burly man. Xiao Zichen was 1.85 meters tall, but in front of the man who opened the door, he looked a little thin.
"Mr. Xiao, please come with me."
The man said politely, and then led Xiao Zichen into a study room.
Shen Peiqiang and Xiao Zichen met each other more than ten years ago. After not seeing each other for so many years, the man in front of them seems to be more majestic than in the impression.
"Minister Shen, long time no see."
After all, he was an elder. After Xiao Zichen entered, he said hello first.
Shen Peiqiang stood up, looked at the man in front of him, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, then smiled slightly, restrained his majestic aura, and said.
"Zi Chen, we haven't seen each other for ten years. Come on, please sit down. Just like before, you can call me uncle. Just like before, we are out of town."
Sure enough, he is an old cunning guy. He was clearly showing off his condescension just now, and in the blink of an eye, he got close to him. No wonder he was able to rise through the ranks and reach his current position, but it seems that he is still suffering from the cold at the top.
Xiao Zichen sat down opposite Shen Peiqiang, but he did not become as casually friendly as Shen Peiqiang said. As soon as he opened his mouth, he further distanced the two people.
"Minister Shen came to Luo City in person and made an appointment with me unexpectedly. What advice can you give me?"
When Xiao Zichen said this, Shen Peiqiang frowned subconsciously, but then he smiled, poured tea for Xiao Zichen himself, and said.
"You and your father are really different. Zi Chen, don't be so serious. The Xiao and Chen families have been friends for many years. I happened to come down this time to inspect the work. I was passing through Luo City and wanted to come and see you. I wonder how your parents are doing?
I also deeply regret knowing about your father's affairs back then, but I was on an overseas inspection at that time and it was inconvenient for me to visit your parents."
Shen Peiqiang expressed concern about Xiao Zichen's parents with great emotion, but for Xiao Zichen, this kind of false concern was worse than a simple and clear explanation of his purpose.
After Shen Peiqiang finished speaking, Xiao Zichen said lightly.
"Thank you very much, Minister Shen, for your concern. Apart from the difficulty in moving, my father is still in good health. Now my parents are enjoying their grandchildren, drinking tea, and growing flowers. They are living a comfortable life."
"Hey, your parents are still happy. You see, Uncle Shen and I are a lot older and still have to worry about so many things."
Finally getting to the point, Xiao Zichen sneered in his heart and said quietly.
"Minister Shen is a man who can do more work. As long as Minister Shen is willing, he can live such a life with Mrs. Shen."
What kind of life you want to live is your own choice, so it doesn’t matter if you envy others, it’s just your own rights and desires that you can’t let go of.
When Xiao Zichen said this, Shen Peiqiang's face was slightly startled, but then he smiled again, as if he was preaching like an elder.
"Zi Chen, you are still too young. You don't know that sometimes many things are forced by circumstances. It doesn't mean that I can do whatever I want."
After hearing this, Xiao Zichen also smiled lightly and said quietly.
"It's not that Minister Shen can't let it go."
Power and money have made many people lose themselves, and Minister Shen in front of me is one of them.
After Xiao Zichen said this, the room fell into a long period of silence. Xiao Zichen knew very well Shen Peiqiang's intention to find him, but he would not take the initiative to expose it. Shen Peiqiang always felt that his identity was there, so why should he stoop to ask for help? A businessman.
But Shen Peiqiang should have understood from the moment he took the initiative to find Xiao Zichen that he could not take the initiative. Xiao Zichen was not Xiao Moxiong. Xiao Moxiong back then might have succumbed to the power of the Shen family after considering several considerations, but now Xiao Zichen has his own pride and confidence, not to mention that today's Yuanyang is not the same as Yuanyang ten years ago.
Xiao Zichen's eyes were half closed, and he stared at the second hand of the watch on his wrist, watching it turn around and around, but Shen Peiqiang opposite him never spoke, and his patience was exhausted little by little.
Finally, when the hour hand on the watch pointed to seven o'clock, Xiao Zichen stood up.
"Minister Shen, I think it's getting late. My wife is very tight at home, so I'll leave first."
Xiao Zichen's sudden farewell caught Shen Peiqiang off guard. He could no longer sit there calmly. When Xiao Zichen was about to leave the room, Shen Peiqiang finally spoke.
"Mr. Xiao, we are all smart people. In this case, I will not beat around the bush. I need the help of your Xiao family."
Compared with the power and status in front of him, those worthless self-esteem are nothing. As long as he can make Xiao Zichen nod, he will still be the superior Minister Shen from now on.
