Chapter 30 That man was like a savior who saved her

Zhou Dingyu was wearing a dark grey suit that was well-tailored and looked dignified and uninhibited. Behind him, Zhao Zhe was holding an umbrella for him, half a step behind him.

Zhao Zhe was about to move forward when he found that the boss had stopped.

Following the boss's gaze, I saw a familiar figure running towards the bus stop in the rain.

Subconsciously , " It's Miss Xu!"

Zhou Dingyu turned sideways, and in this rainy day with poor lighting, his expression was not very clear:

"Give her an umbrella."

Zhao Zhe , " Yes."

But just as she was about to hand over the umbrella, she saw an Audi car parked next to Xu Li. The driver's door opened, and a handsome man holding an umbrella leaned out.

He almost trotted to Xu Li's side, held the umbrella above her head, and said something. Xu Li followed him towards the Audi.

Zhao Zhe , "... " He cleared his throat and asked tentatively , " Mr. Zhou, this umbrella ... " Are you still giving it away?

Zhou Dingyu didn't answer.

In the rain curtain like a bead curtain, her eyes fell on the man holding an umbrella for Xu Li.

The rain was heavy, and the man held the umbrella handle tightly. The entire black umbrella cover was almost tilted towards Xu Li, shielding her from the wind and rain.

But his own shoulders and back were soaked by the rain.

It was pouring rain, and the man was like a savior who came from the sky, saving the little woman from the waters of this world.

The man looked familiar. He had seen him when he went to Xu Group a few days ago.

Zhou Dingyu narrowed his eyes, and under the gloomy sky, his expression became increasingly gloomy.

——

Not only Xu Li came out to visit clients in person, but Pei Song, the vice president of Xu Group, was no exception.

In the Audi, the wipers were operating quietly, and the vision was clear in an instant and then became blurry again.

Inside the car, warm air was blowing. Xu Li took the dry towel handed to her by Pei Song and wiped her wet hair.

The first thing he did was to ask about business matters , " How was your visit to the client today?"

Pei Song fastened his seat belt, smoothed his wet hair and shook his head.

Xu Li paused while wiping her hair and lowered her voice , " The situation here is not very optimistic either."

Pei Song comforted her , " You can wait a little longer. At least they said they would consider the letters of intent I submitted today."

"Is it the letter of intent for cooperation on Qiulin's tourism project?"

Pei Song said in a gentle voice , " Yes."

Xu Li started to wipe her hair again.

Qiulin City is adjacent to Yucheng City and has mountains and water. The local government wants to plan it into a tourist city, so it allocated a piece of land in the suburbs and put it out to public bidding.

But according to Xu’s current strength, it is definitely not enough to swallow it all in one go, and it needs to find an investor to cooperate in the bidding.

She murmured , " Although Qiulin's project is not as good as the one in the western suburbs of Yucheng, it is still a piece of fat meat. It would be great if someone agrees to cooperate with us in the bidding. In this way, Xu's dead chess game can be revived."

Pei Song nodded , " Yes, but the Xu Group is in the spotlight right now, so they are probably just waiting and watching."

After a pause, he said, "Wait a little longer, maybe there will be good news."

Xu Li pursed her lips and said, "For now, we can only wait."

Although the attempt to seek customer cooperation has not yielded any results for the time being, Xu Li is not prepared to sit idle.

She discovered this when she was reviewing the project agreements archived by the Xu Group these days.

There is a party A that has cooperated with Xu and has not yet settled the final payment with Xu.

She looked at the accounts and found that the balance was a full one million.

Thinking of this, she mentioned to Pei Song the idea of going to collect the debt.

Pei Song hesitated and said , " Boss Li is a deadbeat. Even when your father was around, he couldn't do anything about it ... "

Xu Lixing narrowed her eyes , " My dad is friends with him, but I am not. My dad is a good person and is afraid of offending people, but I am not."

Pei Song saw Xu Li's firm attitude and said , " Okay, I'll go with you."

——

There is a rule in the industry that debt collection cannot be done in the morning.

The next day, on a sunny afternoon after the rain, Xu Li and Pei Song went to a racecourse in the eastern suburbs together.

"Boss Li always brings his children here to play and stays for the whole day. His children learn horse riding and have hired a coach here." Pei Song said.

Xu Li nodded and looked around, looking for Boss Li.

The open racecourse was covered with green grass, the track was dusty, and horses were galloping past from time to time.

"There!" Pei Song gestured to Xu Li to look at the ten o'clock direction on the left.

Xu Li looked over.

A middle-aged, portly man was smilingly helping a little boy of seven or eight years old onto a pony.

Xu Li followed Pei Song's footsteps closely.

But after taking a few steps, a burst of rapid horse hooves' clattering sounds came unexpectedly from behind!

From far away, the sound of sharp wind, accompanied by a man's powerful shout, sounded behind her.

Dust flew up, and the strong wind mixed with the neighing of horses swept over my back! Danger was approaching suddenly!

Before she could react, Pei Song grabbed her waist and held her in his arms.

The imagined pain of being kicked by a horse did not come.

My heart is beating so fast!

Xu Li suddenly turned around and looked up, and saw Zhou Dingyu sitting on a shiny black horse, tightening the reins and looking down at him.

The man stood tall and straight, with an arrogant look.

Dressed in a black equestrian suit, he looks heroic, but also can't hide his arrogance!

Xu Li didn't expect to see him in this place.

She opened her mouth and was about to say something, but the man's peach blossom eyes narrowed slightly and his gaze fell on Pei Song's arms that were around her.

His eyes dimmed, and the corners of his lips curled up in a meaningful arc, "What a coincidence, Mr. Xu."

Somehow, Xu Li felt that the man's gaze was a little cold. She pursed her lips and said calmly, "Mr. Zhou."

After saying hello, Zhou Dingyu didn't want to say anything more. He kicked his horse's belly and shouted , " Gee!"

He rode the black horse and galloped away again in the rolling dust.

Xu Li gently broke free from Pei Song's arms and stood firm.

Pei Song apologized , " I'm sorry, it was an emergency just now, I ... "

Xu Li shook her head , " It's okay, I should thank you."

Pei Song cleared his throat and glanced at the figure that was leaving. "I didn't expect that Mr. Zhou was here."

As he spoke, he looked at the figure with some admiration and respect:

"Speaking of which, he is now considered the most prestigious new business upstart in Yucheng and a popular candidate for the next head of the Zhou family."

After a pause, he said, "I heard that the other party is a person who attaches great importance to the benefits of the project. This time I also submitted Qiulin's letter of intent for cooperation to Zhou Group. If he can see it, I hope he will agree to cooperate with us."

Hearing this, Xu Li was stunned , " You also submitted a letter of intent to Zhou Group?"

Pei Song nodded, not noticing Xu Li's strange expression, and continued, "If Zhou Group agrees to invest and cooperate, it will just make up for the helpless lie you told in front of your employees."

Xu Li pursed her lips.

That being said, will the Zhou Group agree to cooperate with the Xu Group?

To be honest, she had thought about submitting a letter of intent to the Zhou Group. With Zhou's investment, Qiulin's tourism project would definitely be won.

But ever since she attended the Hongmen Banquet that day and was forced to cancel the engagement by the Zhou family, the Zhou family's cold and indifferent behavior has completely chilled her heart.

I'm afraid that even if she came to seek cooperation, Zhou would not agree.

Therefore, in order to avoid humiliation, she deliberately avoided the Zhou Group.

Hearing what Pei Song said at this moment, she felt complicated.

After taking a look at the figure galloping on the horse, she retracted her gaze and said to Pei Song , " Let's go and collect the debt."
