Xu Li held her breath and asked , " You mean, will you consider Qiulin's tourism project again?"
"Ms. Xu, do you want me to reconsider it?" Zhou Dingyu asked suddenly, staring into the woman's eyes without blinking.
Xu Li pursed her lips.
Of course she wanted him to reconsider, but if the price for him to reconsider was for her to follow him and become his long-term bed partner ...
Xu Li hesitated , " I ... "
Zhou Dingyu seemed to be able to see through her concerns and put the Buddhist beads back on his wrist. The dark light made the skin on his wrist look even colder and more inhuman.
He stood up and walked towards Xu Li:
"As long as Miss Xu opens her mouth and says a few soft words to make me happy, I might really change my mind and agree to invest."
Say a few soft words?
Xu Li looked up into the man's smiling eyes , " Why?"
Why did he suddenly change his mind and was willing to cooperate with Xu just because I said a few soft words?
My intuition tells me that he is not a person without bottom line and principles.
Zhou Dingyu just smiled without saying a word, and approached step by step. His tall body almost covered Xu Li in shadow.
Especially since he had just ridden his horse at a gallop, the wildness in his body had not completely faded, and he looked dangerous.
His aggressive gaze wandered recklessly over the delicate curves of the little woman, and he smiled frivolously.
"Because some of your performance is worthy of me setting this precedent."
Xu Li was startled! Then she understood instantly!
For some obscure topics, you don’t have to wait for the other party to point them out before you understand them.
Xu Li opened her mouth, "So ... so ... "
"One night of love is worth a hundred days of kindness. Although we are not husband and wife in name, we are already husband and wife in reality. A few nights of love are enough for me to cherish you when you are in trouble."
Hearing the man deliberately emphasize the words "husband and wife" and "spring night", Xu Li's cheeks flushed with embarrassment.
After a moment of silence, she asked suspiciously , " Do you really think you will agree to invest just because I say a few nice words? Is it that simple?"
"It's that simple."
The man lowered his eyes slightly, and his long eyelashes blocked his pupils, making it even harder to see through him.
The only thing that can be seen is the slanted corners of his lips, which reveal a casual and unruly look.
Xu Li didn't know where the determination came from.
If you ask her to agree to be his long-term bed partner, she may not agree, but just a few soft words can persuade him to reconsider.
Why not?
Moreover, he just said that from the perspective of commercial value, he is willing to invest. Now asking himself to say a few soft words may be to give himself a way out.
In that case, there is nothing she can't bear to give up.
Xu Li blinked her bright almond eyes, her face calm, her red lips slightly parted , " Please, think about it again."
The man shook his head . " Not sincere enough."
Xu Li took a breath and said , " Please, reconsider it." This time her tone was a little more serious.
The man still shook his head.
Xu Li lowered her eyes, as if she had given up. When she raised her eyes again, she grabbed the man's sleeve and shook it gently.
The tone is charming and soft:
"Please~"
The lethality is ten times ten!
Zhou Dingyu's dark eyes darkened instantly. He placed his warm and dry fingertips on Xu Li's cheek and applied a little force. A red mark appeared on the woman's porcelain-white skin.
He curled his lips in mockery , " Ms. Xu is really ... flexible."
After saying this, he waved his hand and said , " Zhao Zhe."
Zhao Zhe, who was waiting outside the door, rushed over upon hearing the voice , " Boss Zhou."
"Go get the contract for the Qiulin tourism project."
"yes."
While Xu Li was confused, Zhao Zhe had already left quickly and returned quickly with a document in his hand.
Zhou Dingyu took the pen and signed his name without any hesitation.
Xu Li's head was buzzing. She was afraid that the man was trying to cheat her, so she leaned over to look.
Looking at the signature, the man's vigorous handwriting was so powerful that it could be seen through the back of the paper. It was the three words "Zhou Dingyu".
She couldn't believe it.
"It's your turn, Mr. Xu." Zhou Dingyu curled his lips and handed over a few thin A4 papers with his bony fingers.
Xu Li breathed a sigh of relief calmly and took it with both hands.
Still a little unbelievable.
After carefully reading the contract details, I found that Xu Group would provide the construction planning, design and construction, while Zhou Group would provide the funding, with the profits split 50-50.
Any hesitation for even a second would be a disrespect to the contract.
I took the pen and was about to sign when the man's faint voice came again:
"I, Zhou Dingyu, never do business at a loss. Since I am willing to cooperate with your Xu Corporation, I will naturally select a top talent from your company to be in charge of this project."
"I have only one condition. I want Vice President Pei to be in charge of all matters related to this project and to be stationed in Qiulin City."
"Apart from a routine work report once a month, he can only return to Yucheng after the project is completed."
Xu Li understood that some projects would sign confidentiality agreements with employees before they started. To prevent leaks, employees were required to leave only after the project was completed.
But this is rare in China, unless it is a confidential project.
But is it necessary to deprive a person of his personal freedom just for a mere tourism project?
For a moment, the pen she was signing paused.
"Why?" she asked back.
Zhou Dingyu said calmly , " This is my rule. Miss Xu, you don't have to sign it."
Just a few words, without any explanation, full of arrogance.
Xu Li tightened her grip on the pen.
At present, besides Pei Song, there is no one else she can rely on. If Pei Song goes to Qiulin ...
She is alone ...
The dependence and reluctance in his eyes were fleeting, but were easily captured by Zhou Dingyu.
The man lowered his eyes, hiding the emotions surging in his pupils.
While Xu Li was hesitating, the door of the lounge was pushed open, and Pei Song's voice came firmly , " Okay, I can go to Qiulin City."
Xu Li didn't know when Pei Song came back. When she looked over in surprise, the man looked as gentle as ever.
He nodded at her, curling his lips slightly, with no expression unusual.
Fortunately, it seemed that he did not hear her explicit conversation with Zhou Dingyu.
Xu Li paused and was about to say something when Zhou Dingyu beside her said approvingly , " Vice President Pei is really straightforward."
Pei Song nodded and took the initiative to shake hands with Zhou Dingyu , " I would also like to thank Mr. Zhou for giving Xu Group this opportunity to cooperate."
Zhou Dingyu held the other person's hand back and secretly exerted force with his palm.
He smiled faintly and patted Pei Song on the shoulder , " Vice President Pei has a bright future."
--
Just like that, Zhou Dingyu's agreement to invest and bid for the Qiulin project together with Xu's was completely set in stone.
After this news reached Xu Group, the entire company was shrouded in a joy comparable to that of the Chinese New Year.
But Xu Li didn't feel happy too soon.
Xu Li knew that if the bid was successful, the Xu Group would be able to make a complete comeback.
If they fail and their hopes are dashed, the Xu Group will suffer a huge backlash and be completely dead end.
...
In the evening, she organized a team-building dinner for the employees, firstly to dispel the haze and encourage everyone to keep working hard, and secondly to practice for Pei Song.
During the dinner, she drank a lot of wine offered by her employees.
It was already late when we came out of the hotel.
Pei Song didn't drink and offered to take her home.
"Thank you." After getting in the car, Xu Li leaned against the window, staring at the dense night outside the window in a daze.
"Secretary Xiao Lin was promoted by me. You can use her without any worries when I'm not around." Pei Song instructed carefully in front.
Xu Li nodded.
Half an hour later, the car stopped downstairs of the apartment building.
After Xu Li got out of the car and was about to go upstairs, Pei Song called her from behind.
"Xu Li."
Xu Li looked back.
Pei Song stepped forward and hugged her gently, "Take care."
Xu Li just thought of it as a hug symbolizing friendship.
"The same to you."
After waving goodbye to Pei Song, Xu Li turned and went upstairs.
But as soon as she took out the key, pointed it at the keyhole and opened the door, a dark figure pressed her against the wall.
The hot and domineering kiss blocked the exclamation in her throat.
The sandalwood scent on the man instantly engulfed her ...
Stumbling, Xu Li was led by the man into the dark living room.She didn't even have time to say anything, the man got straight to the point and pushed her down onto the narrow sofa in the small apartment.Xu Li had already recognized who the other person was. In panic, she subconsciously asked , " What are you doing!""Heh ... " The man sneered and clamped her cheek, "Debt collection."She breathed rapidly, and as her eyes gradually adjusted to the light, she saw Zhou Dingyu's distinctive face and dark peach blossom eyes.There was red at the corners of his eyes, and he seemed to be in a bad mood.For no reason, a feeling of timidity emerged in Xu Li's heart. She cleared her throat and said , " You ... what's wrong with you ... "The man loosened his grip on her cheek, and his voice became low and cold, mixed with a hint of teasing and mockery."It's not Miss Xu's turn to worry about this."Xu Li opened her mouth.Be
After the two left, Xu Li walked inside without hesitation.Suddenly, the sound of guests talking came into her ears."Hey, did you know? This engagement invitation was handwritten by me on Tuesday!""real?""Of course it's true, how could I lie to you!""That shows how much Young Master Zhou values Miss Luo!""Who says it's not true? I heard that Miss Luo is an orphan and has no relatives in Yucheng. To be favored by Mr. Zhou Er, she is truly a phoenix that has flown to the tree and become famous!""Hey, have you heard? Miss Xu, who was previously engaged to Mr. Zhou, hasn't been doing well lately. She's been in a state of depression.""Tsk ... People say things change over time. After what happened to the Xu family, they are no longer worthy of the Zhou family! She's self-aware enough to call off the engagement!"...Everyone was chatting away, completely unaware that Xu Li, the person they were talking about "not
Someone started it, and more people agreed.What's more, they started praising and commenting on Xu Li one by one from her demeanor to her appearance.Indeed.Although her dress today is not eye-catching, it is refreshing.The light blue modified cheongsam has a regular style, and her hair is pinned back with a wooden hairpin.The lips are red without being dotted, and the eyebrows are green without being painted.Just sit there coldly.Those beautiful eyes were charming and bright.At this moment, her cool and elegant temperament, because of her calmness, made people only dare to watch from afar and not touch her.At this moment, Zhou Huaian and Luo Ling, who had just gone outside to greet guests, had returned.There was constant discussion around, and when Luo Ling appeared, some comparative voices naturally emerged."Hey, hey, hey, did you see that? The difference is obvious when compared like this!""
Faced with everyone's pursuit and attention, Zhou Dingyu seemed to accept everyone.Xu Li turned her head slightly and looked over, and could see the man with his head slightly lowered, shaking his red wine glass, nonchalantly responding to the people who were greeting him.This was the first time she saw elegance and arrogance coexisting in one person.It seems that Zhou Dingyu has this kind of ability.A kind of ... relaxed feeling like an emperor who is in control of everything.Dazzling and eye-catching, lazy and easy-going.But after these few contacts, Xu Li has deeply realized that you can't judge a person by his appearance alone.The opponent's ruthlessness that can crush everything is unpredictable and full of danger.It's like a time bomb, it might explode at any time.Experience tells her that it is best to stay away from the other person unless necessary.Thinking of this, Xu Li calmly took the wine glass
Xu Li lowered her eyes and smiled faintly, curling her lips in self-mockery , " Of course."He held the wine glass with both hands, raised it high in front of Zhou Huaian and Luo Ling, and suppressed the bitterness rising in his throat:"I wish you ... a happy marriage, a son soon, and eternal love."After saying this, he tilted his head back and drank the glass of wine in one gulp.After finishing the glass of wine, she finally felt drunk, like a surge, tearing apart her sanity.Her eyes were red.Fortunately, she did not completely lose her composure, and she hid the redness of her eyes well by pretending to lower her head.But this still did not escape the "eyes of those with ulterior motives".The people at the same table began to whisper:"She's not still thinking about Zhou Huaian, is she?"Someone lowered his voice and said, "It seems to me that he just drank one cup after another. It's obvious that he still h
Zhou Dingyu tightened his jaw and said in a cold tone , " Don't do it yet."She wanted to see how far she could go.Zhao Zhe didn't ask any more questions and drove slowly following.Until under the streetlight, the figure, perhaps drunk to the extreme, leaned against the streetlight and slowly fell down ...Zhao Zhe asked Zhou Dingyu again , " Mr. Zhou ... "Zhou Dingyu ground his back teeth and rolled the Buddhist beads with greater force.Seeing that the thugs who were waiting to "pick up the corpse" had parked their motorcycles, they rubbed their hands and walked towards the woman with a ruthless look on their faces.Zhou Dingyu paused while grinding the Buddhist beads, his dark eyes darkened, and then he opened his mouth and said , " Stop the car."As the car stopped by the roadside, the tall and slender man leaned over and got out.He glanced indifferently at the hooligans who were walking towards Xu Li with a coveto
Zhou Dingyu , " Literally.""You ... you didn't touch me? Then the clothes I was wearing ... ""I asked the maid to change it."After saying that, Zhou Dingyu clapped his hands, and a servant came in holding the clothes she wore yesterday:"Ms. Xu, the marks you vomited on your clothes last night have been cleaned up. You can wear them without worry."Xu Li took it calmly and smelled the fragrance of detergent still remaining on the clothes.Only then did I understand the reason.It turns out that she misunderstood Zhou Dingyu ...Embarrassment ensued.She opened her mouth and was about to say something to apologize to the man, but Zhou Dingyu had already turned and left when she took the clothes.When she changed her clothes and went downstairs, the man was no longer in the house.The servant came over at this time and pulled out the chair next to the dining table . " Miss Xu, the master has gone to work. Befo
Hearing this, Xu Li frowned slightly, looked at Zhou Dingyu calmly, and then walked into the Rolls-Royce calmly and gracefully in her high heels.She was still wearing the modified cheongsam she wore yesterday. When she bent down to get into the car, her perfect hip-to-waist ratio was perfectly displayed.Zhou Dingyu's gaze stayed there for a moment, his pupils dimmed, and his tall figure followed and sat down.The car door closed, and he chuckled meaningfully , " Ms. Xu, are you not afraid of being seen getting into my car?"Xu Li looked calm and composed, pretending not to understand , " Why should I be afraid of being seen?"Zhou Dingyu raised his eyebrows , " Remember that time at Zhou's house, when Zhou Huaian happened to drive out of the basement, in order to avoid him seeing me, someone quickly jumped onto my car, and ... "Having said this, Zhou Dingyu stopped and stared at Xu Li with a burning gaze and a teasing smile.Xu Li
After Zhou Dingyu finished speaking, Xu Li was stunned for a moment, not realizing why he suddenly asked this.Because he didn't receive a reply, Zhou Dingyu slowly opened his eyelids and looked straight over, with red bloodshot veins clearly visible in his eyes.Xu Li saw this and her heart skipped a beat. "I ... "Zhou Dingyu smiled, his calm eyes like a deep pool that could swallow everything, "Will it?"Xu Li pursed her lips tightly, met the other person's gaze, and had a myriad of thoughts in her mind.Of course she had thought about this question."No." She met the man's gaze and said firmly."If I could go back to the past and start all over again, I would say goodbye to you properly and would not leave without saying goodbye."Zhou Dingyu's eyes were fixed on Xu Li's face, as if something that had sunk into the abyss of memory was being salvaged by a pair of warm hands.The warmth that came towards him gave him the
In the Xingfu community.Since it was a rest day and Xu Li had not gotten a good rest last night after tossing and turning, she stayed in bed for a while this morning.It was not until she was extremely thirsty that she slipped into her slippers and went to the living room to get some water.After drinking a glass of water, I was still in a daze.I was rubbing my eyes and was about to go back to the bedroom for a nap when there was an unexpected knock on the door.She thought it was Xu Shiyan who had rushed back early in the morning, so she walked over to open the door.But after opening the door, he was stunned when he saw Zhou Dingyu, who was covered in morning mist and had a hint of fatigue in his eyes and brows."you ... ""Just woke up?" Zhou Dingyu spoke, his low and hoarse voice rolled over the leaves like dewdrops and slid onto Xu Li's heart.Xu Li blinked subconsciously, still looking dazed as if she had just woke
After Cheng Xuefei handed "Congratulations" to the veterinarian, she supported herself on the ground and tried to stand up. She felt pain in her feet and frowned and hissed.Zhou Dingyu noticed her abnormality and asked , " What's wrong?"Cheng Xuefei pursed her lips, her face pale as she did not answer.At this time, a servant explained , " Miss Cheng ran too fast to save 'Gongxi' and accidentally sprained her ankle ... "Zhou Dingyu frowned slightly, "Why is it so big ... "He stopped talking halfway through the scolding, perhaps because he saw Cheng Xuefei's red eyes and that she looked really hurt, and changed his tone, softening it a bit."Are you ok?"Cheng Xuefei had tears at the corners of her eyes. She sniffed and her voice, which was always called "Queen", was a little bit pinched at this moment. She groaned softly, "It hurts ... "Zhou Dingyu stepped forward and extended his arm. Cheng Xuefei's eyes were misty with te
The taste of pineapple permeated between her lips and teeth. It should have been slightly sour, but with Zhou Dingyu's gentle and affectionate kiss, Xu Li did not feel the slightest bit of sourness.The man's tongue was nimble, scraping every corner of her mouth.Her numb brain seemed to be soaked in pineapple soda, bubbling with fine and soft bubbles.There was even an indescribable sweetness that was eroding her taste buds and reason inch by inch.And just as the two were kissing passionately ...In the suburban manor at that time.Cheng Xuefei, who was sent back to the manor by Zhao Zhe, is caught in a huge emotional whirlpool ...She was helped to sit on the sofa and looked at Zhao Zhe, questioning, "Why didn't he come back?"Zhao Zhe , " The boss has something else to do and can't leave."Cheng Xuefei clenched her teeth and then loosened them, "I don't care, call him back to me! I want to see him now!"Although
Zhou Dingyu picked up the phone, glanced down, clicked the answer button, and locked his eyes on Xu Li opposite him.He said to Cheng Xuefei on the other end of the phone, "What's wrong?"On the other end of the phone, Cheng Xuefei's voice was drunk again, "Dingyu ... come and pick me up ... "Zhou Dingyu frowned, "Drinking again?"" ... Well, if you don't come back, it will be boring for me to stay in the manor alone."Zhou Dingyu took a breath, his eyes still fixed on Xu Li across the table, "Wait."After saying that, he hung up the phone.Just when Xu Li thought that Zhou Dingyu would get up immediately and go out to find Cheng Xuefei, Zhou Dingyu's slender fingers tapped on the screen of his mobile phone and made a call.The call was connected quickly.Zhou Dingyu , " Go do something."Xu Li heard Zhao Zhe's familiar voice leaking from the phone, "You order.""Go pick up Cheng Xuefei and send her to the man
After Xu Li returned to her workstation, she continued to draw the design. After a long while, the heat on her face finally subsided.Perhaps it was because the restlessness in my heart disappeared, and my inspiration was overflowing, making creation unusually easy.By the time I got off work, I had made a lot of progress.Stretching her waist, Xu Li packed up her things and prepared to go to the vegetable market to buy some ingredients to cook at home.It was evening, the rush hour for getting off work. Xu Li was driving seriously and did not notice that there was a silver-gray Porsche following her closely.After arriving at the vegetable market, Xu Li picked out some seasonal ingredients, then left the market and prepared to go home.But just as I started the car, I glanced at the entrance of the vegetable market not far away and saw a familiar figure standing there waving at me.Zhou Dingyu?The man was wearing a well-tailor
After Xu Li finished speaking, she pursed her lips stubbornly, looking like a sulky child.Zhou Dingyu naturally realized that although she seemed to be saying harsh words, she was actually just saying them in anger.For some reason, I wanted to play a trick on her.Zhou Dingyu narrowed his peach blossom eyes and pretended to be thinking seriously. He hesitated for a moment."Well ... your suggestion is not impossible ... "Xu Li stood up straight, her body slightly tense, her breathing paused, she looked at the man, waiting for him to continue."But I think the interest issue needs further discussion."Xu Li held back the suffocation that was spreading rapidly in her heart and pinched her fingertips. "If Mr. Zhou feels that it is inappropriate, you can make a request."Zhou Dingyu nodded slowly, and his fingers climbed up to the Buddhist beads on his wrist and gently rubbed them."According to the bank's highest interest
Almost as soon as Xu Li finished speaking, Cheng Xuefei's voice suddenly came from outside the office door, "Dingyu?"Then, the door lock started to rattle.It seemed that it was not opened, and a familiar male voice came from far away."Director Cheng?" It was Zhao Zhe."Assistant Zhao, is President Zhou in there?""He should be here. Director Cheng, what do you want to talk to President Zhou about?""Oh, there are some work matters that I need to discuss with Mr. Zhou ... but the door seems to be locked from the inside.""Lock it?""yes.""Let me try."The door lock sounded again.Xu Li was startled and subconsciously tried to push Zhou Dingyu away, but was firmly pinned to the bed by the man's big hands."Don't be nervous." Zhou Dingyu's breathing was so close to her that it felt itchy in her ears.But more than that, it was the stiffness caused by extreme panic.The next moment, Zhou Dingy
The fierce rejection did not cause the other party to hesitate at all. Xu Li turned her head to the side, trying to avoid his close kiss.He was still trying to dissuade her:"Zhou Dingyu, please calm down, don't stay here ... "The little woman's chest heaving violently showed her nervousness.He turned her little face so that she was forced to look at him, his heavy breath sprayed on her face, his voice was low,"The window material is anti-peep. Floor-to-ceiling window play, don't you like it?"Xu Li's face suddenly turned red, and then she shook her head again.It's not okay to use anti-peeping, and the office door is only closed, not locked. What if someone pushes the door and comes in ...No ... Even without these external factors, she can't ...It's time to go to work.She is just an ordinary employee who comes to report her work.And ... recalling the conversation between Cheng Xuefei and Zhou Dingyu th
