Chapter 230: Unclear Faction
The landlord of the residential building where the rental house in Tsing Yi is located changed overnight, and it was stated that the house had to be renovated on time and the lease would not be renewed from that day on.
As luck would have it, the contract expired, and Gu Yunzhen couldn't find a suitable place to stay in a short period of time, so she was forced to move to Macau temporarily.
Where do you live?
Staff apartments at Zhou’s Casino.
Liang Weining was shocked and said, "Why are you telling me now about what happened a month ago?"
"I was afraid you would worry about me. Besides, I didn't know you were planning to return to Hong Kong after the Chinese New Year, and I thought that losing the house in Tsing Yi would not affect you."
Having said that, the logic doesn't make sense.
As far as she knew, the property rights of that residential building were not owned by the same person. It would take a huge amount of money for all the owners to change overnight.
While I was deep in thought, I heard my bestie say, "I packed up your personal belongings and clothes and took them to Macau. When you come back, we'll take some time to sort them out."
There aren’t many things, but they are all important.
Liang Weining nodded and said, okay.
But she still didn't give up and asked: "Have you ever considered that we can find another place to live in the port area?"
What I got in return was silence from my best friend.
"Little boy."
Gu Yunzhen carefully chose his words and told her the truth: "According to the current situation, it would be safer for me to stay in Macau. At least for the next six months. If it is not necessary, it is best not to return to Hong Kong."
What's the meaning.
Without waiting for Liang Weining to ask more, he continued on the phone: "In my line of work, you will always offend people, openly or secretly. Don't worry, I have a contract, and Zhou Shixu should protect me emotionally and rationally."
really.
My guess was correct. Zhenzhen was being targeted again.
This is not the first time.
I felt very upset. As her closest person, I wanted to persuade her to change her career, but there were some things I couldn't say easily.
Everyone has their own ideals and goals, and one should not be mentally kidnapped because of the particularity of their profession.
So, Liang Weining tried hard to appear calm and relaxed.
To ease the atmosphere, he even made a cold joke, "In fact, the safest place in Macau should be Zhou Shixu's private residence."
Gu Yunzhen was stunned.
Holding the phone in his hand, he pursed his lips, looked around at everything luxurious in front of him, and secretly criticized Ning Xiaoguai for being really vicious.
Toxic and accurate.
After hanging up, the office fell into silence.
The little girl sat motionless on the sofa with a serious expression.
Chen Jingyuan put down the documents in his hand, patted her head gently, and whispered to comfort her: "If you are really worried, I will take you to Macau after returning to Hong Kong."
The boss can always provide her with effective emotional value at critical moments.
Of course, it is impolite not to reciprocate.
After a moment of silence, Liang Weining asked, "Is the scenery in Deep Water Bay beautiful?"
"Go try it for a few days. If you're not satisfied, we can move."
The thought then turned to the mystery surrounding the residential building.
The girl moved over and hugged her boyfriend's arm, "Can you help me check something?"
"What."
"Who is the buyer behind the building in Tsing Yi?"
Chen Jingyuan raised the corner of his lips slightly, and said in a doting tone: "Okay, I'll let Xu Zhou do it."
-
Three days later, a Gulfstream business jet landed at the port.
Just as she got into the business car, Teacher Xie, who was far away in Chengdu, called and asked her how many days she planned to rest as she was about to start work.
Liang Weining realized it later and asked in surprise: "Mom knows that I'm being transferred back to the headquarters?"
After everything was settled, I wanted to keep it a secret for the time being.
After all, the group is in deep trouble and something unexpected might happen.
But if I think about it carefully, I haven't posted on WeChat Moments in recent days, and I think I have covered it up perfectly. So the question is, how did the old couple get the news?
My mother only gave me a few instructions, told me not to disturb her, and then hung up the phone.
Almost the next second, Mr. Chen's mobile phone, which was resting on the central armrest, vibrated and a message came in.
Liang Weining subconsciously glanced over, but before he could grasp the key point, the lit screen was turned off by the slender hand.
She raised her eyes to look at the man, who was reading the documents as usual.
She was overthinking it.
More than 90% of the information in the executive director's column is from official business. The action just now may just be a coincidence.
A half-hour drive takes you to Deep Water Bay.
On both sides of the gate, a breeze with the scent of sea salt blew past, rustling the dense palm branches.
When getting off the car, Liang Weining stayed there for a few seconds and felt refreshed.
You can see that she is satisfied.
Chen Jingyuan took the little girl's hand and walked towards the villa. "Take a short rest after dinner. I'll have someone take you around in the afternoon."
"You don't have time?" she asked.
Then, realizing that she was too girly, she made up for it in time: "Actually, I also plan to go to the company first. The project department has a lot of complicated affairs, and I will feel at ease if I take over as soon as possible."
Perfect explanation, no flaws.
When you enter the house, you will see two pairs of slippers placed at the entrance, one gray and one pink, classic couple style.
There is no doubt that it was Uncle Ming's idea.
Liang Weining changed her shoes and listened to the man's gentle voice: "I'll arrange for a driver to pick you up around seven in the evening."
Cough slightly.
No. "Living under the same roof, we see each other every day, so there is no need to rush."
She misunderstood her boyfriend's intention and thought he was going to take her to a business dinner. Just like he did a while ago, he continued to treat her as a small pendant.
Unfortunately, the little pendant is now on strike and wants to return to its normal character.
Seeing through his girlfriend's thoughts, Chen Jingyuan chuckled: "When friends gather together, just show up once."
Ok?
Liang Weining looked at him stupidly, it turned out that he had thought wrong.
Nodding, Gengzhi agreed: "No problem."
Mr. Chen’s circle of friends generally have preconceived ideas and will divide the circle into children of wealthy families in Hong Kong.
Little did we know that reality is not so cliché.
Several of them are overseas alumni of Chen Jingyuan, and the rest are childhood friends and cousins of the Chen family. One of them is the head of Henderson Land Development, Chen Sheng.
Everyone is busy with their careers and rarely get together. This time they came back to Hong Kong with a clear purpose: to meet their future sister-in-law.
Among the group of friends, Chen Sheng was the oldest, so Liang Weining's style also rose with him.
After the introductions were completed, the gifts received were overwhelming.
The little girl looked at her boyfriend shyly, her eyes hinting that she didn't bring any gifts.
Chen Jingyuan smiled but said nothing. His friends explained in a very casual manner: "If we insist on courtesy and reciprocity, it will be too distant. Besides, if Old Chen hadn't been hiding it, this side would have been revealed long ago."
Chen Sheng interrupted at the right time: "Brother is wrongly accused. I can testify that he definitely did not intend to hide it."
Some details cannot be disclosed.
For example, in the first half of the year, his elder brother suddenly found him and wanted to bid for an unfinished project in an inland city in the name of Henderson Land Development.
I was very surprised at the time and was curious about what kind of project it was that could make the executive director personally invite him for an interview.
After understanding the whole cause and effect, Chen Sheng was shocked beyond words.
Even though he had heard of the existence of 'Secretary Liang', he never expected that a powerful brother could go to such lengths for a woman.
In this world, perhaps only the father-in-law in Chengdu could make Mr. Chen, who is in charge of all the affairs, worry so much.
Rare.
I couldn't help but feel regretful.
The last time I went to Chengdu, I should have insisted on going with you.
It’s a pity to miss my future father-in-law.
It was already ten o'clock when we returned to Deep Water Bay that night.
After taking a shower, Liang Weining sat cross-legged on the bed, planning to review the project department's personnel files again before going to bed.
About half an hour later, Chen Jingyuan finished his work and pushed the door into the bedroom. Seeing the little girl diligently looking through the documents, he slowly walked to the bed and sat down, raising his hand to rub her head, "It's late, let's look at it tomorrow."
The latter shook his head.
"It might disturb you, should I go to the guest room?" Liang Weining suggested.
As the year draws to a close, the longer you delay, the more matters, big and small, pile up. A new official has three things to do when he takes office. The headquarters is no different from the branch offices, and the relationship between personnel is far from as simple as it seems.
She must not be careless.
Fearing that the girl was under too much mental pressure, Chen Jingyuan said, "Department management cannot be achieved overnight. I'm sure you are very clear about the intention of the person at Taiping Mountain."
As for what the intention is.
Of course, they used her, the "upstart of the group", to do things that other executives would rather avoid, such as eliminating dissidents.
At the moment, everyone at the headquarters is analyzing the current situation.
As everyone knows, the little girl has been with the executive director for two whole years. The word "celebrity" alone is far from enough to describe how favored she is.
But what is strange is that this transfer back to the headquarters, which is a disguised promotion, was ordered by the man in Taiping Mountain.
You know, the chairman never interferes in personnel decisions below the vice president level, not to mention that the interference is in Mr. Chen’s private life.
What is even more puzzling is the attitude of the parties involved.
Looking at the little girl's posture, she seems to be a fence-sitter, leaning towards whichever way the wind blows.
Unfortunately, Mr. Chen has never made his position clear from the beginning, and seems to be willing to let it go and condone the incident.
According to people familiar with the matter, when returning to Hong Kong that day, as soon as the business jet landed, the business car went directly to Deep Water Bay.
Living together in Beijing is no longer a secret.
It has become an established fact that he has a mistress in his private residence.
It would be fine if they were just talking about romance, but the complicated point now is that the girl wants to enter the core management of the group, and her faction is unclear.
This is also what Liang Weining can't understand.
She was confused. Throughout history, it was normal for fathers and sons to have different ideas and disagreements. But after all, the family business would eventually be handed over to the heirs.
Since the chairman has chosen his son, why is he so persistent and unwilling to give in?
I don’t quite understand. Could it be that the capitalist’s father is not an ordinary flesh and blood person?
The specific answer will be given by Mr. Chen himself one day.
-
The next morning, standing in the garage, Liang Weining made up his mind to get a Hong Kong driver's license as soon as possible.
Although it is convenient to travel with a driver, it is too ostentatious.
Just like at this moment, when Ajian opened the back door of the car, the girl was holding her mobile phone and searching while asking him about the application procedure for right-hand drive license in the port area.
"If I skip the training and only provide the information, can I get the certificate directly?"
It's not that I want to be lazy, I just don't have time.
For safety reasons, Ajian suggested: "Before officially going on the road, it is best to practice several times in remote areas. The road planning in the port area is different from that in the mainland, so there must be an adaptation period."
"How do you practice? You follow the car?"
The seemingly simple question left the young man silent.
After thinking for a moment, he said, "I'll ask the master for advice some other time."
? ?
Liang Weining didn't understand.
Even trivial matters require the boss's approval?
Sigh.
Ajian is good in every way except being stubborn.
