I stopped in the corridor, then answered Fang Yuan's phone call, and asked nervously: "What happened when the call came so late?"

"Where are you now?"

"I'm back to Xuzhou."

"Mr. Mi is with you too?"

"Well, we are going back to Xuzhou together, and we plan to relax. If you have any questions, just say it."

Fang Yuan was silent and said: "Recently, there has been a rumor. As the largest investor, Weiran may turn to Mi Zhongde's side at the critical moment of listing. I don't want to ask Mr. Mi. I just want to confirm with you whether it was the smoke bomb that Mi Zhongde released when he was deadly, deliberately confusing the public!"

I really couldn't tell Fang Yuan the inside story, and after a long time, I said to him: "There is indeed a change in this matter, and I am also trying to intervene, but my strength is too limited... Let's solve it slowly."

Fang Yuan is a sensible person. He did not ask about the reasons for the accident, but just sighed and said, "It is really difficult to do when things develop like this. Mr. Mi should have a headache now... This is really a shopping mall version of the wolf in the house!"

"Yes, she is very passive now, unless Mi Zhongde is willing to join forces with her, terminate the cooperation with Weiran with absolute control and reintroduce investors, but is this practical? How could Mi Zhongde give up this opportunity to turn defeat into victory for Mi Cai?"

Fang Yuan thought for a while and said, "I don't think so, just find the right entry point."

"Tell me..."

"Let's make an assumption now. If Weiran really goes to Mi Zhongde's side, after Zhuomei's successful listing, he will have more opportunities to control Zhuomei's equity. With the wolf nature he shows now, it is hard to guarantee that he will not attack Mi Zhongde in the opposite direction. No matter how Mi and Mi Zhongde fight, no matter who loses and who wins in the end, Zhuomei is still surnamed Mi, right?... So if Mi Zhongde can make appropriate compromises at this time, there may not be no chance to join forces with Mi Zhongde and thus terminate the cooperation with Weiran."

"this......"

Fang Yuan continued to say to me again: "Anyway, this is the last solution. I think I should try it regardless of whether there is a possibility of success or not. In addition, we should also prepare for finding new investors at this time. Once Mi and Mi Zhongde reach a consensus and terminate the cooperation with Weiran, other investors must come forward, because Zhuomei may face huge compensation for Weiran, and the lack of funds may ultimately affect Zhuomei's listing."

I pondered for a long time before answering, "I will tell Mi Cai what you think, and she will decide what choice to make in the end."

"Well...if there is a place to help me, just open your mouth!"

"Thank you, guys, really."

Fang Yuan smiled and said, "Brothers have been here for so many years. It's too flirting to say thank you. I sincerely hope Mr. Mi can survive this time!"

......

After the conversation with Fang Yuan, I immediately passed on his suggestion to Mi Cai, but Mi Cai shook his head unexpectedly and said, "In the past two days in Xuzhou, we will not talk about work. I will seriously consider his suggestion after returning to Suzhou."

I understood Mi Cai's mood at this time, so I did not continue to discuss this issue with her, but I was thinking: If we can really join forces with Mi Zhongde to terminate the cooperation with Weiran, who can take the lead as a new investor?

......

The next day, Mi Cai got up early and drove to the suburbs of fishing with her father who had already prepared fishing tools. I was idle and slept until noon before getting up. What surprised me was that Li Xiaoyun was also at our house, and she seemed to be here to ask her mother to go to her house to play mahjong in the afternoon.

After I washed up, I started a brief chat with Li Xiaoyun. I asked her in a very old-fashioned manner: "How are you doing recently?"

Li Xiaoyun replied with a smile: "It's the same as before, I'm still working in the original advertising company, but because of my mother, I fell in love with playing mahjong."

I nodded, but I, who had always been very good at talking, suddenly couldn't find a topic to talk about. There was a passage between us, and I didn't seem to be suitable to ask her about her current emotional problems.

Li Xiaoyun seemed to see through my words and asked me again: "What about you, how are you doing recently?"

"The inn is on track now. Thanks to your support at the beginning, I am still too late to express my gratitude?"

"Of course I have time. Remember to invite me to dinner when I return to Xuzhou next time."

I nodded and fell into silence again. Li Xiaoyun smiled calmly and said to me: "Zhaoyang, you already have a girlfriend, but you are perfect. Don't you care about my emotional problems?"

"I want to care, but I don't know how to speak...why, do you have a boyfriend?"

Li Xiaoyun sighed and said, "Oh! She is still struggling on the difficult road of blind dates. She is tired recently, so she plans to cultivate some other hobbies to divert her attention, such as playing mahjong."

"You have to ask too much about this. After all, you are a white-collar worker in the city or a beautiful woman. Is it that difficult to find a male partner?"

Faced with doubts, Li Xiaoyun looked at me with complaining eyes and said, "This matter is not bad for me, but for you. Since I have been with you, I think it is unreliable for any man now, just like you!"

"You are kidding. Although I am not reliable, I won't leave a shadow on you!"

Li Xiaoyun replied after a while: "Forget it, it's inevitable that a person will meet one or two bastards in his life, and it will be bad once or twice. One day I will overcome the shadows and find a reliable man!"

I can't tell whether Li Xiaoyun is serious or joking at all, but I feel more or less guilty. However, the things I did wrong in the past can no longer be compensated by the present. I can only wish in my heart that she can find that reliable man soon and live with her for the rest of her life.

......

After chatting with Li Xiaoyun for a while, it was already noon. It was time for me to make an appointment with the woman in red. After telling my mother that she didn't have to wait for me to have lunch, she said goodbye to Li Xiaoyun and drove the R8 to the destination.

It took about a quarter of an hour to go to Lijingxuan Restaurant again. As soon as I parked the car, the lobby manager in the restaurant stood beside the car, opened the car door for me, and asked me politely: "Are you Mr. Zhaoyang?"

I nodded in surprise, wondering how she knew my name.

The lobby manager seemed to see through my doubts and said with a professional smile: "The car you drive now is our Mr. An. She asked me to welcome you, the distinguished guest in the parking lot!"

I nodded and subconsciously looked into the restaurant. It turned out that the woman in red was surnamed An, the owner of this restaurant. And she could still remember my name. It seemed that she really hated me, otherwise she would be reluctant to forget my name.
