Chapter 31 Chapter Thirty

Liu Xu discussed with Qiu Yuchen that since Xiao Yaozu was always unable to do the work of Tongda Asset Management Company, it would be unfavorable for everyone to procrastinate like this, so it's better to ask the Executive Bureau of the Provincial High Court to withdraw the case and entrust the auction by himself. Qiu Yuchen corrected and said: "It's not called withdrawing, because it wasn't released in the first place." Seeing Liu Xu nodded, Qiu Yuchen thought for a while, and added: "However, it's best not to let Xiao Yaozu know that this is your idea, otherwise , He will mistakenly think that my elbow is turned outward, and then it will affect his trust in me and recommendation to you."

"This problem doesn't exist, but it's good to pay attention. Xiao Yaozu should know that it was because of our work in the Provincial High Court that they agreed to delay. They have been delayed for so long. He didn't seize the opportunity himself. Who is to blame? The Executive Bureau of the Provincial High Court has a deadline to close the case, and Cao Hongbo has been urging me for the past few days, saying that I can’t keep procrastinating like this.” "There is no way for the Executive Bureau of the Provincial High Court to speed up the process of closing the case. The problem is that if the Provincial High Court starts the auction process, it may have to shake the ball. In this way, won't it be more difficult for you to get the business?"

"I didn't know that you were Xiao Yaozu's legal adviser at the beginning. As long as you can influence him and let him choose our company, half of the problem will be solved. The other half will be solved by Wu Yang's relationship. Dalai’s auction company also often advertises in newspapers. If our two companies unite and let Cinda Assets choose us, and let Xiao Yaozu also choose us, there will be no need to shake the ball. The Provincial High Court You can place an auction entrustment directly." "That's good. It's still the question just now. Xiao Yaozu must feel that the way to go down is entirely at the court's will."

"Okay. Don't say anything. I'll let Cao Hongbo force Xiao Yaozu first, and then he will naturally discuss it with you. If he thinks that the judicial auction is irreversible, it will be good for him to choose a familiar auction company, and he will take care of you by the way. favor." "I think so too. I don't take the initiative to find him. I will talk to him when he comes to me." "Row." Liu Xu immediately called Cao Hongbo, but unexpectedly Cao Hongbo said in an official voice, saying that the 17th National Congress of the Communist Party of China will be held soon, and that any cases with hidden dangers in the implementation work will be suspended.Liu Xu felt that Cao Hongbo's tone was wrong, so she didn't dare to say more, so she immediately hung up the phone.

Cao Hongbo didn't call her until around six o'clock in the evening to ask her if she had any arrangements.Liu Xu said no.Cao Hongbo said that's good, if you are not hungry, we might as well go to H City for dinner. Last time, the hotel had a dish called casserole peanut seedlings, which was not bad.Liu Xu hurriedly said yes. It was Cao Hongbo who took the taxi to the entrance of the expressway, where Liu Xu was already waiting. Cao Hongbo got into the car, said hello briefly, and did not mention the phone call in the morning. Liu Xu couldn't take the initiative to say anything, she paid attention to his wrist, it was empty, and he didn't wear the watch that he bought for him in City H last time.Watches for men, bags for women.Cao Hongbo offered to go to City H, but he didn't wear that watch. What do you mean?

Cao Hongbo tilted the seat silently, closed his eyes, and still did not speak, as if he came to the car to take a nap. Liu Xu got her card at the window of the toll station, slowly drove the car to the temporary parking space in the right lane, parked it, pulled the handbrake, and turned around to fasten the seat belt for Cao Hongbo. Taking advantage of the situation, Cao Hongbo hugged Liu Xu's face gently, holding Liu Xu's face, stared at her for about ten seconds, then pushed her head down slightly, and kissed her vigorously. round. When it was over, Liu Xu smiled and said, "What's the matter, you act like a tragic young man?"

Cao Hongbo loosened the seat belt that Liu Xu had fastened just now, and put the seat back, motioned Liu Xu to go on the road, and suddenly cursed: "It's really a fucking thing." "Who is it?" "Who else did you say?" Cao Hongbo answered with a rhetorical question, without saying who it was, as if he expected Liu Xu to know the person he scolded. Liu Xu naturally guessed that the person being scolded was He Tong, but she didn't know whether she should continue talking, she thought about it for a while, and asked in a casual manner: "What's the matter?"

Cao Hongbo stopped talking, and remained stubbornly silent. Liu Xu glanced at him from the side of his head, and said, "You'd better put on your seat belt." Cao Hongbo listened to these words obediently. If Cao Hongbo made up his mind not to speak, Liu Xu would never force him.On the contrary, if Cao Hongbo and He Tong really had any problems, and poured bitterness on her, it would make her not know how to deal with it. Neither of them spoke, and they seemed a little bored. Liu Xu couldn't see that Cao Hongbo didn't exist. She wanted to turn on the stereo to listen to music, but she was afraid of disturbing him.She thought, let's drive for ten kilometers first, I won't take the initiative to talk, I bet he will take the initiative.

After five or six minutes, Cao Hongbo turned on the stereo.Inside is a folk song disc of the Black Duck Group, "We are a good place in Xinjiang, good pastures in the north and south of the Tianshan Mountains..." After another five or six minutes, Cao Hongbo turned down the stereo and asked Liu Xu if he had any acquaintances at the Provincial Education Examination Institute. His son's college entrance examination this year is a big event.Students who take the college entrance examination, parents who are admitted to the exam, the results will come out soon, and I am afraid it will be too late if you don’t do activities.

Liu Xu didn't have any direct acquaintances at the Provincial Education Examination Institute, but she didn't want to reject Cao Hongbo. She wanted to help if she had connections, and if she didn't, she had to help if she found connections. Children's going to college is the top priority of every family.Fortunately, the world is getting smaller and smaller. No matter what kind of person and relationship you are looking for, you can find it safely through three or four links. But Liu Xu doesn't want to do everything. It is said that the college entrance examination admission is becoming more and more open and transparent. There is really no end to how far she can go.

Liu Xu told Cao Hongbo the truth about the situation, saying that she would ask someone to find a relationship, and she would definitely run with him when the time came.Thank you Cao Hongbo. It was Cao Hongbo's suggestion that the two of them walked back at about eleven o'clock in the evening. He said that there was a patient at home, and if he didn't come home, she would stay up all night. Liu Xu didn't intend to spend the night in City H. After hearing what Cao Hongbo said, she felt a little uncomfortable, but she didn't take it too seriously, and praised him sincerely for being a good man who takes care of the family. Liu Xu had been refraining from talking to Cao Hongbo about the podium of Liujin World, she waited for Cao Hongbo to speak first. Cao Hongbo didn't start talking about it until he got off the expressway. He said: "Although the Municipal People's Grand Theater has not formally filed a case, it is sending materials everywhere. The matter is complicated." Liu Xu said: "Since Xiao Yaozu can't figure it out, it's better to let the provincial high court directly entrust it. Isn't the 17th National Congress only held in mid-October? Hurry up, it should be in time, right?" Cao Hongbo said: "One moment at a time, China's affairs are afraid of procrastination. Once procrastination, all parties have time and space to find a relationship. Many things, how to do it is one thing, how to do it, often It's another matter, it may be the result of secret games of various interests, so when it comes to business, no one will easily express their opinions, including me." Liu Xu didn't understand Cao Hongbo's meaning all of a sudden, so she couldn't help but groaned. Cao Hongbo said: "The 17th National Congress of the Communist Party of China is a major event. It is estimated that the court will evaluate some cases that may have a negative impact. You should hurry up and see if you can catch up." Catkins are still missing the point.Should we hurry up and enter the judicial commissioned auction procedure, or do the preparation work first, and let the executive bureau evaluate and weigh the pros and cons of entering the judicial commissioned auction procedure?Normally, Liu Xu asked directly.But today's Cao Hongbo is a bit different from the usual Cao Hongbo, which makes Liu Xu feel a little inexplicably frightened. But no matter what, let him force Xiao Yaozu.This matter cannot be avoided, otherwise, the work under the catkins will not be very easy to do. " Cao Hongbo was very happy, and immediately took out his mobile phone to call Xiao Yaozu. Liu Xu stopped him. Cao Hongbo said, "It's okay, this guy is a night owl." Liu Xu said: "I'm not afraid that you will affect his rest. This guy is very smart. If you call him at this time, he might guess that we are together. I don't want him to think that this is my idea. What do you think? Woolen cloth?" Cao Hongbo looked at Liu Xu and smiled, put the phone back in his pocket, stretched out his hand and gently squeezed her arm, and said, "Okay, call me tomorrow when you are at work, remember to remind me." "You won't attack me again, will you?" Liu Xu cast her eyes on Cao Hongbo and said. "Do I have it? If so, I apologize to you. Don't take it to heart. I'm very annoying these days." "Don't be annoying. If you're really annoying, just call me and let me accompany you. Hey, what's the trouble? You have to get over everything? Don't make it difficult for yourself. " "It's not that I can't get along with myself, it's that others find fault with me, pick on my thorns, and I make people dislike me." Liu Xu didn't expect to say a few ordinary words, and almost made Cao Hongbo open his mouth. He quickly shut his mouth, and at the same time patted his left arm with his right hand. Cao Hongbo did not intend to stop, he said to himself: "Isn't he Doctor Dog? Doesn't he understand dogs? Does he know that dogs can jump over walls when they are in a hurry?" It turned out that Cao Hongbo really had sex with He Tong. Did they have conflicts because of work, or for some other reason? Liu Xu made up her mind not to comfort Cao Hongbo, for fear that if she interjected, it would add fuel to the fire again.However, she was somewhat curious, wanting to know the real reason for their quarrel. " But after Cao Hongbo threw the three questions to Liu Xu, he stopped talking.He turned on the stereo again, and it was still Black Duck singing folk songs inside. It was almost noon the next day when Liu Xu called Cao Hongbo. She was afraid that it would be too early and Xiao Yaozu hadn't woken up yet. Cao Hongbo told her that he had already called Xiao Yaozu, and Xiao Yaozu wanted to invite him to dinner, but he declined.As for other things, he asked her to do what she said last night. Liu Xu contacted Chen Yida immediately after talking on the phone with Cao Hongbo, trying to unify the pace and work separately, but unexpectedly turned off Chen Yida's cell phone.Called his company, but no one answered.Called again in the afternoon, still no contact. This made Liu Xu feel a little strange.Auction companies don't need too many people, but there is always a shortage of people on the phone, otherwise, others will suspect what's going on with your company. Liu Xu had no other choice but to leave a message for Chen Yida on her mobile phone. It wasn't until twelve o'clock in the evening on the third day that Chen Yida called her back, but the news he told her made her stunned: something happened to Wu Yang and he went in. On the morning of the second day after returning from Hainan, Liu Qian turned off her mobile phone and was still sleeping beautifully at home. The landline on the bedside table kept ringing and woke her up. When she saw the display, it was actually a little girl. Liu Qian seldom told others her home phone number, she usually contacted her by mobile phone, but she gave the little girl her landline number, fearing that she would be delayed if she couldn't find anything. She couldn't imagine what would happen to the little girl looking for her so early. The account between them was settled yesterday, and she hasn't given the little girl any new tasks yet. The meeting place was decided by Liu Qian, a tea shop on the first floor of a hotel not far from her home, Liu Qian hurriedly arrived after washing up.They saw each other as soon as they entered the lobby, because the little girl picked a chair facing the door.As soon as she saw Liu Qian coming in, she got up and moved half a step to meet her. When Liu Qian came to her, she bowed slightly and pulled out the small round chair for her. The little girl returned to her chair, smiled at Liu Qian first, and said, "I'm sorry, cousin, I made you sleepy, and I apologize to you." After Liu Qian stretched out her hand and waved it in the air, the little girl said again: "You haven't eaten breakfast yet, have you? There is a Chinese breakfast here. What would you like to eat? I invite you." She raised her hand and called the waiter. Liu Qian raised her head and glanced at the little girl, seeing that she was looking at her attentively, she couldn't help but feel moved. Everyone got along well these days, but she had never seen the little girl be so polite and warm to her. Liu Qian ordered soy milk fritters.The little girl asked the waiter to serve two servings. "What's the matter?" Liu Qian asked after the waiter walked away. "Did you bring your mobile phone?" The little girl didn't answer her question directly, but asked back. "Bring it." "Can I see it?" Liu Qian felt a little strange, but she still took out the phone and handed it to her. The little girl took it, and quickly returned it to Liu Qian. Liu Qian tilted her head and looked at her inquiringly. "I... want to ask you how much you spent on this trip." The little girl and Liu Qian looked at each other, then quickly lowered their eyes and landed on the mobile phone on the table. "Why are you asking that?" "I think...I think, otherwise, I'll pay half of the money, or...all of it." "what happened?" "I...I want to...get back the few photos I sent you the first night." "what happened?" "Last night, Xiaojun had a formal talk with me. He wanted me to be his girlfriend." "Haven't you been his girlfriend these days?" "That's different. This time, it's his official girlfriend." "That is to say, he proposed to you?" "No. But, I think, if it takes a little longer, if he doesn't get tired of me by then, maybe he will." "What if? Maybe? You're not sure about that, are you? What if... maybe... your relationship doesn't work out the way you want it to?" "I think I should also take the photos back. If Xiaojun dislikes me one day, I still hope to live a normal life." "Then what do you think is a normal life and what is not a normal life?" "The life I lived before was not normal, and what you asked me to do...is not normal." When the fried dough sticks and soy milk came, the little girl signaled to the waiter to give it to Liu Qian first, and Liu Qian was not polite, she tried to drink a spoonful of soy milk, then sat herself upright, looked at the little girl, and said, "Okay, I won't follow you." You discuss normal and abnormal issues, I just ask you one question, how can you erase what you have done? I guess Xiaojun still doesn’t know that you are not my cousin? You haven’t told him about yours yet Let's go? You haven't told Xiaojun about our cooperation, have you? If... I mean, what will happen if he knows the truth of all this? Will he still want you?" "I don't think he would. I mean if he knew, he wouldn't want me anymore. But, I spent a few days with you, with him, and I was happy, and I don't want to go back to the old days I want to change myself. To change myself, there must be a beginning, and I want to start today." "Wait a minute, you just said that things between you and me are not normal, so I guess you must also think that I am an abnormal woman, including the relationship between you and He Xiaojun these days, which is not normal. With so many abnormal people, spending a few days of abnormal life together, how could it make you feel so deeply and make up your mind to live a normal life, huh?" "I don't know either. Maybe... maybe I like him a little bit." "I don't doubt that. I don't doubt that he likes you either. I just...doubt whether the love between you two can stand the test of time. In my opinion, it's very embarrassing, very, very pessimistic .Are you willing to pay so much for something that is almost unreal? That is a lot of money for you." "I know. I know that my experience is enough to scare away any man who wants to marry a wife. If He Xiaojun doesn't want me one day, I have nothing to say. You just asked why the life of these few days made me feel so much , let me tell you, when I felt that I started to like him, I... I didn't dare to talk to him anymore, because I was afraid that what I said would be full of loopholes. Yes, one day , He Xiaojun may not like me anymore, may not want me anymore, but in my life, I will always meet a few people I like? If I continue this kind of life, I will express this love repeatedly I have no qualifications. In a few years, I will marry someone, which is a big event. Who I marry may be very important, but what is more important is what kind of life I will live. Now, in this capacity, I will talk to my little one. You get along, I can't bear it." Liu Qian quietly watched the little girl talking, with her head tilted to the left and to the right for a while, as if she could understand the little girl's thoughts more comprehensively by doing so. The little girl's soy milk and fried dough sticks were also served, and Liu Qian signaled the little girl to eat first. The little girl ate very quickly, and finished her portion in threes and fives.She wiped her mouth with a tissue, then sat upright, quietly looking at Liu Qian, admiring her eclipse.When Liu Qian glanced at her occasionally, she would quickly look away politely. Not long after, Liu Qian also finished eating. The little girl handed over the napkin and asked the waiter to clear away the tableware. "What kind of life you want to choose is of course your right, but do you think there are men in this world who are worthy of our women's love and our women's unconditional marriage?" Liu Qian continued the topic just now and asked the little girl . Hearing this, the little girl couldn't help lowering her head. She pondered for about half a minute, then raised her head, stared at Liu Qian, shook her head, and said while deliberating: "I don't know. There is no longer a man who can make a woman willingly dedicate her heart and blood, her soul and flesh, her emotions, her youth, everything about her, in a word, if there is no man worth our while Love is worth marrying, isn't this world too scary?" "Before answering your question, you can think about it this way: From a man's point of view, is there such a woman who is worthy of his heart and blood, his soul and flesh, his emotions, his Youth, all of him? In a word, does he feel that there is really such a woman in this world who is worthy of his heart and bone marrow to love, to pain, to care for, to hold her in his hands, to embrace her? In the mouth? If he doesn't think so, then, at this point, men and women are equal. What do you think?" "I think you and Brother Jun are fine. I don't know what you have experienced, but I don't think your experience will necessarily be worse than mine. I don't believe that the world will be as terrible as you said." "You are fantasizing, do you think He Xiaojun will be the kind of man who loves you? Or to put it another way, are you a woman worthy of He Xiaojun's love?" The little girl's eyes flickered and flickered, and she lowered her head again. Liu Qian looked at the little girl opposite with a little pity, and shook her head silently. She met her by chance and got along well these days. She couldn't help being a little surprised and sympathetic for such a fantasy in her heart.She didn't want to accommodate her fancy, nor did she want to extinguish it outright, which made it a little awkward for her to go on, so she said: "Is there anything else you want? I want to go. Otherwise, Let me pay the bill, who told me to be your cousin?" "No." The little girl suddenly raised her head, stared at Liu Qian closely, and said, "I still hope you delete the photos on your phone." "Silly sister, how do you know that I didn't develop the photo, or send it to another phone or computer for backup?" "I can only gamble." "Gambling?" Liu Qian smiled and said, "What are you betting on with me? Can you bet against me? I have spent so much energy, and with just a few words from you, I will obediently listen to you?" The little girl moved her buttocks on the chair, straightened her body, and straightened her body. She smiled at Liu Qian and said, "I haven't said what I want to tell you. I'm your cousin. If you What I said is not only reasonable, but also good for you. I don't think you won't listen, right? "Really?" Liu Qian smiled back and said, "Then what do you want to tell me?" "It can be seen that you have something to ask Xiaojun." The little girl looked at Liu Qian as she said, as if she wanted to see her reaction to her words, and seeing her looking back at her expressionlessly, she had no choice but to continue: "But , you are not fully sure whether Xiaojun will help you, so you want to use me to catch He Xiaojun." This time Liu Qian really smiled: "Tell me." She seemed very interested in the little girl's analysis. "You didn't expect or you didn't expect He Xiaojun to fall in love with me." The little girl said, "Of course you didn't expect or you didn't expect that I would fall in love with him. But this kind of thing happened, for you Say it was an accident, so your original plans need to be readjusted." "You have a lot of imagination." "That is to say, am I right?" "Even if you are right, but what weight do you have to negotiate terms with me?" "Of course I have. If you think that you can control He Xiaojun and make him work for you if you have caught He Xiaojun's handle, what if I also caught your handle?", "What do I have for you to catch me?" "Because I know your secret. I guess, you may not be able to use those photos, unless He Xiaojun doesn't do what you want, then you may take out his army, or threaten him. But , if you let He Xiaojun know that you are going to use him now, and if you fail to use him, you are going to use less upright methods, what do you think He Xiaojun will think? Will he still treat you as a friend?" "If I use him, I have the conditions now. Dear cousin, I have to thank you, you helped me create this condition. And you? If you tell him the truth, he will not grit his teeth at you, and would like to give you It's no wonder you tear it up. Do you still expect him to continue to like you?!" "If our negotiations break up badly, that will be the inevitable result. However, I am a person who has nothing. If I lose, I still have nothing, so I can afford to lose. But, dear cousin, you So what will happen? You are different, not only what you want to do will definitely go to waste, but whether you can keep everything you have now is still a question. Cousin, do you need to take this risk? " Liu Qian frowned involuntarily, she didn't expect that the first person who came to trouble her was the little girl she found.Two days earlier, Du Jun also persuaded her to quit despite difficulties, but she is not a person who gives up lightly and gives up halfway. Liu Qian knew that she should not take the little girl in front of her lightly.She was right, she couldn't afford to pay for it if everyone broke their faces and risked their lives to play too early. Liu Qian tried her best not to be angry.It is her right for a little girl to pursue her happiness.If you want to be angry, you can only be angry with yourself: Who made you misunderstand the person? Since the little girl came prepared, it's better to let her finish her sentence.Thinking of this, Liu Qian relaxed her brows, and even tried her best to smile, and asked, "Tell me, what are you going to ask me to do?" "I have already said my request: delete the photos in your phone." "Do I have any other options?" "Yes. Don't do what I say." "What will happen then?" "Cousin, have you forgotten? The mobile phone you gave me has a recording function. It doesn't need to be past noon today. He Xiaojun and maybe Brother Jun will hear this conversation between us." Liu Qian smiled. She straightened her face, but the smile didn't completely wipe off her face. She let out a breath and said, "You know how much I spent on this road trip, including the investment on you?" money?" "Know." "So, did you bring any money?" "No." "No? Then what are you talking about with me?" "Just talk about the conditions just now. If you agree, I will ask you to give me three days." "and then?" "Then...we exchanged mobile phones for three days, and of course the magnetic cards can be exchanged." When Liu Qian understood what the little girl meant, she laughed again: "Are you a little too smart? As soon as you took the phone over, you immediately deleted the photos, what should I do? Recording, will it work for me? Who can I ask for money?" "Then what do you say?" "Your suggestion, of course, is up to you to solve the technical problems." "Maybe, I can get something as collateral." "what?" "Look at this." The little girl said, she took out an envelope from nowhere, looked around, and gently dumped the contents on the table.
