Chapter 20 Chapter Twenty

Before the New Year's Day holiday, Zhu Mingming began to worry about the office arrangement of the Greater China headquarters.When the executives who are on vacation gradually return to work, the independent small rooms in the offices of Chinese companies on Huaihai Road are obviously not enough. Whether to reopen "Yiyuan" has become an urgent problem to be solved.After the Public Security Bureau determined the cause of Kosuke Yukawa's death, they unsealed "Yiyuan" in time, but after all, someone just died there. , would you like to go back? So Zhu Mingming specially wrote an email to ask Li Weilian for instructions. She knew best that only he could make a decision on this kind of matter, and once he made a decision, basically no one would raise any objections.Li Weilian, who was still on vacation at his home in the United States, quickly replied, but Zhu Mingming couldn't help but laugh.In the email, Li Weilian instructed Zhu Mingming to invite Li Jumin, the most famous Feng Shui master in Hong Kong, to come to Shanghai to show "Yi Yuan" Feng Shui, and then give specific suggestions for seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages. As for whether to return to "Yi Yuan" Work, when to return, how to arrange, these are all up to Master Li.

When Zhu Mingming read the email, he almost spit coffee on his laptop.Who is Li Weilian?Would he believe in the theory of Feng Shui in the Book of Changes?A sneer overflowed from Zhu Mingming's lips. This frighteningly shrewd guy must be thinking of something else.She seemed to be able to see the calmness on his face and the slyness in his eyes when he wrote this email. That's how he was, time and time again making everyone go round and round. is what he wants.Do you see it?He even named the Feng Shui master he wanted to invite.Zhu Mingming has heard of Li Jumin. This person is indeed very prestigious in Hong Kong. It is said that multinational companies and rich people have to wait in line to see Feng Shui. Even Hong Kong HSBC Bank built a new building at the old site. , how the two bronze lions at the bank's gate "please go" and when they "please come back", as well as the location of all the offices of the board members and the placement of office furniture, are all finalized by Master Li.Zhu Mingming never expected that Li Weilian knew this person well, and said that as long as he reported his name, the other party would definitely give priority to him and rushed to Shanghai.

Zhu Mingming suddenly thought, could the result of Feng Shui be in Li Weilian's expectation?It is very possible... She felt dazzled for a while, and her heart was once again firmly grasped by the powerful wisdom and will, and she wished she could immediately bow down in front of him. It was this hopeless love that made Zhu Mingming's heart ache. Inexhaustible, but hard to let go. She got in touch with the assistant of the Feng Shui master, and when she heard Li Weilian's name, the other party agreed without hesitation.Just after New Year's Day, Master Li flew to Shanghai with his assistants, and Zhu Mingming stayed with them in the "Yi Garden" for more than two hours the next morning.Master Li is a very busy person, but he does things rigorously and efficiently. His assistant clearly explained all the conclusions and specific countermeasures to Zhu Mingming. He also drew sketches and wrote the minutes. People rushed to the airport to return to Hong Kong.

When Zhu Mingming came back from the plane, it was already past 4 pm when he arrived at the office.As soon as she entered the door, she felt the solemn atmosphere in the company. Lisa, the president's secretary, winked at her, and Zhu Mingming immediately knew that it was Li Weilian who had returned. She walked quickly towards the small meeting room at the end of the corridor. After the "Yi Yuan" accident, Li Weilian's office was temporarily set up here.When she came to the door, Zhu Mingming stopped hesitantly. It was always at this moment that she could clearly feel the timidity welling up in her heart. I feel anxious and stinging because there is nowhere to put it.

Zhu Mingming tried his best to calm his frantic heartbeat, gently pushed open the half-covered door, and Li Weilian was sitting in front of the large French window facing west.The setting sun dyed most of the room golden red, and under the backlight, she could only see his profile.Li Wei sat motionless, even though he was silent, there was an intimidating majesty, but there was a rare loneliness in the lowered eyebrows, which made him appear gentler than usual, probably because the fatigue from the long-distance flight had not yet dissipated. . Zhu Mingming couldn't help but took two steps forward, Li Weilian raised his head when he heard the sound, his eyes immediately made Zhu Mingming stop tensely.

"Why didn't you knock?" "The door...is not closed." Zhu Mingming was almost out of breath. Li Wei looked Zhu Mingming up and down, and then said coldly, "Why don't you move at all, you look like a ghost." Zhu Mingming felt that her face was hot and cold, and the backlight made her completely unable to see Li Weilian's expression clearly, but everything about herself was clearly revealed in the eyes of the other party. She felt annoyed and hated, and replied bluntly: "There is no Ghosts, 'Yiyuan' has ghosts!" Li Weilian turned his chair around so that he was facing Zhu Mingming.Zhu Mingming's eyes adapted to the light in the room, and he really looked a little tired, as if... a little sad.

"Have you finished reading Feng Shui?" Li Weilian asked. "finish watching." "Sit down." Li Weilian raised his hand to Zhu Mingming, and smiled slightly: "What did the Feng Shui master say?" Zhu Mingming sat down and put a few pieces of paper in his hand on the table: "Here, it's all drawn on the blueprint." Li Wei didn't even glance at the few pieces of paper: "You just need to be clear. Are there many places that need to be remodeled?" "There are quite a lot..." Zhu Mingming said hesitantly, "Richard's original office is definitely not usable anymore. It needs to be completely remodeled. The door in the downstairs hall needs to change its direction, and the handrails of the stairs also need to be moved."

"Did you tell him that 'Yi Garden' is a historically protected building, and the structure cannot be moved casually." "I said, but these changes will not affect the overall building structure, so it should be fine." "Well, that's fine." "However, there is one more thing..." Zhu Mingming suddenly hesitated. Li Weilian frowned: "What's the matter?" He has always hated his subordinates' vague words and ambiguous attitudes. Zhu Mingming no longer dared to hesitate: "William, Master Li especially mentioned the lilac tree in the middle of the lawn."

"Oh?" "He said...better to cut it off." Li Weilian stared at Zhu Mingming and asked blankly, "Why?" Zhu Mingming pointed to the pieces of paper pushed aside by Li Weilian: "Master Li wrote on it that this tree is very harmful to the house, and must be cut down, otherwise the house owner will suffer near disaster. I think, let's You should be considered the master of 'Yi Garden' in the middle, so..." Li Weilian still didn't look at the drawings, but stared at Zhu Mingming motionlessly.She was so looked at by him that she didn't dare to show her breath, so she had to stand stiffly all over her body.

After a while, he looked away and said in a tired voice, "No, I don't agree to cut down trees." "But William, Master Li's words are always accurate..." Zhu Mingming was a little anxious. "Really?" His tone was very calm, "We are only renting 'Yi Garden', and we cannot be regarded as her real owner. The good or bad of this tree has nothing to do with us." "Oh." Zhu Mingming lowered his head.In fact, this was the result she had expected a long time ago, because she knew that Li Weilian loved the lilac tree in the lawn very much.Obviously, the so-called feng shui is just a tool used by Li Weilian to eliminate the negative impact of the murder case on "Yi Yuan". Once it conflicts with his personal will, no matter how magical the feng shui master is, he can only stand aside.

Li Weilian crossed his fingers, expressing with a gesture that the decision has been made and there is no need to discuss it further.He slowly leaned back in the chair: "How long do you think these projects will take?" "It's enough to hurry up for a month, but the Spring Festival is coming soon, and no workers can be found for construction. In addition, Master Li's suggestion is that it is best to move back after three months." Zhu Mingming became nervous again as he spoke. What the master said is to fool outsiders, I don't know what Li Weilian will plan this time. "Okay, let's squeeze in here again." He answered easily. Zhu Mingming breathed a sigh of relief, her expression fell into Li Weilian's eyes, and he smiled calmly again: "I will leave this matter to you, and you will make a budget right away, and I can do it after I approve it." Start construction. At the same time, you should adjust the location here, after all, it will take three months, so try to arrange it better." "But...william," Zhu Mingming looked puzzled, "Should this matter be handed over to the administration department?" Li Weilian replied categorically: "No, the administration department is only in charge of daily affairs. This is a temporary reconstruction project, and I appointed you to be in charge." "What about the daily affairs of the personnel department? You know, my assistant is on maternity leave, and the new recruitment plans of various departments have just been reported. I'm really too busy..." "Then recruit an assistant for yourself first, what's so difficult about that?" Li Weilian looked at Zhu Mingming and said, his gaze was unfathomable. "Oh, then...alright." Zhu Mingming stood up, "I'll go out first." Li Weilian nodded and turned his gaze to the computer.Zhu Mingming turned to leave, and heard Li Weilian say behind his back: "I forwarded you a resume, you can see if it suits you." When Zhu Mingming opened the resume, she suddenly had a strange association. Could it be that there is such an implicit goal pointed to by so many means?Otherwise, why would Li Weilian worry about the selection of the personnel assistant? Dai Xi, Zhu Mingming has received her resume for the second time today. The first time was from Zhang Naichi, and this time it was from Li Weilian. As soon as Zhu Mingming left the office, Li Weilian called the driver Zhou Feng.Twenty minutes later, the Mercedes-Benz stopped in front of the Four Seasons Hotel.Li Weilian boarded the escalator to the third floor, and walked into the coffee shop through the black crystal door frame. On the only window seat with people, the woman looked straight at him. Li Weilian walked directly opposite her: "What's the matter, looking for me in such a hurry?" He sat down, although the evening light was already very dim, it still reflected her haggard face clearly.Li Weilian leaned weakly on the back of the sofa seat. Tiredness rarely occupied his body and mind so strongly: Fear and panic on the opposite side of a woman of his own age stripped off all her decorations in an instant, completely revealing her true self. Aging and weakness. Li Weilian found that looking at her like this, he seemed to see his true face in front of the years - the true face that he had not deliberately avoided, but was unsightly. "Wilian, I'm finished...you help me, help me." She only said a word, and tears streamed down her face. Li Weilian sighed for a long time: "Don't be like this. I saw the news. What is the reason why Zuo Qinghong was shuanggui? Do you know?" Wang Jingyi shook her head numbly: "I can't ask, my former acquaintances are avoiding me now, and I can't ask any of them..." As she spoke, she shed tears again.Did she actually like to cry so much?Li Weilian squinted his eyes and looked at Wang Jingyi, really unable to connect the sad and helpless middle-aged woman in front of him with the arrogant and cold beautiful girl in his memory.The despair and pain of the past gouged into the atrium again, but it is not as sharp as before, but has become a dull weight. He had to press his temples, straighten his waist and take a deep breath-she even had such a day! "If that's the case, I'm afraid I can't help you." Li Weilian said flatly, "You also know that I have always been powerless in government agencies." Li Weilian's words immediately had an effect on Wang Jingyi, she glanced at Li Weilian strangely, and stopped crying.After a moment of silence, Wang Jingyi said in a low voice: "Actually, it happened not long before Christmas. That day when Lao Zuo came home, he suddenly told me that he was reported by someone, saying that a Japanese trading company sold plastic particles to Zhongsheng Petrochemical. Problem. Originally, it wasn’t a big deal. At most, it was just an admission of mistakes in work. But who knew that the General Administration of Customs would not let it go, and even used the problem to check Lao Zuo’s work records over the years. Couldn't eat, couldn't sleep, and kept saying that he had an ominous premonition. In the end, he really didn't even get past the New Year's Day, so he just..." At this point, Wang Jingyi suddenly asked out of breath, "Weilian, aren't you and China? Is the relationship with Sheng Petrochemical the hardest? How could the old Zuo's incident be caused by the goods of Zhongsheng Petrochemical?" Li Weilian raised his head abruptly, his face paler than that of Wang Jingyi who had been hit hard, and he said word by word: "Wang Jingyi, do you mean something? If I understand correctly, you are implying that I Has something to do with Zuo Qinghong being double-regulated? Hmph, since you think so, why are you looking for me now? Is it just to sit here with me and insult each other?!" Wang Jingyi didn't answer, but her whole body trembled. The anger in Li Weilian's eyes became more and more intense. He was obviously trying his best to restrain himself, so he could continue to say in a low voice: "According to what Zuo Qinghong has done for so many years, something should have happened to him long ago. If I were involved What effect is it that it delays the time for him to be liquidated! I am not proud of this at all! Well, Wang Jingyi, what are you looking for me for? Tell me, I have just flown for more than ten hours, and I am already very tired Already!" The arrogance Wang Jingyi had just built up was completely blown away. She knew that her insinuating temptation had completely failed, but she also felt a little comfort from another angle: Li Weilian made it clear that he had nothing to do with this matter, which made her trust him again.Wang Jingyi burst into tears again, and turned back into the middle-aged woman who was being brutally persecuted: "I can only resign myself to the fate of the old left. But our family Feiya, I am worried that she will not be able to bear the blow of her father's accident. Wei Lian, I beg you, save my child, she is innocent! Wei Lian, help me get her out of the country as soon as possible, ah? Please!" "Your daughter? How old is she this year? In the second or third year of junior high school?" "It's the third year of junior high school, and her grades are excellent! Wei Lian, can you find her a good high school in the United States, and it's best to send her there to study preparatory courses after the Chinese New Year. I originally wanted to go to college before sending her out, but now I can't wait. Yes. The cost is not a problem..." Li Weilian looked at Wang Jingyi and sneered: "Of course, didn't I open those accounts for you abroad?" Wang Jingyi's eyes widened in horror, Li Wei even turned his gaze away, and said contemptuously: "Don't worry, these are all kept secret, as long as Zuo Qinghong himself doesn't tell, no one will know about your daughter... , I can help. You sort out her information and send it to me by email. The original passport and other documents will be sent to my company by courier. Just use ordinary courier, don’t write the real name of the sender, and absolutely Don't bring it yourself." "I understand..." Wang Jingyi breathed a sigh of relief, then lowered her head dejectedly. Li Weilian leaned back on the back of the chair. At this moment, he completely lost his usual energetic appearance, as if he had aged several years all of a sudden.The two sat silently facing each other. There were no other guests in the elegant coffee shop, only three waiters wearing black aprons stood far away at the door, their eyes hanging down on the floor in front of them. "Jingyi, this should be the last thing I will do for you." After a long time, Li Weilian spoke out slowly.His tone was so melancholy that Wang Jingyi raised her head in a daze, and he gave her a wry smile: "Every time I see you, I feel old again. You are simply... my time accelerator." Wang Jingyi was extremely disturbed and didn't know how to deal with it.She was sitting on pins and needles, but also afraid of offending Li Weilian again.Especially the fact that she herself can't accept is that Li Weilian has become her only life-saving straw, and the only person she can trust now. The world is impermanent, and at this moment Wang Jingyi deeply understands the irony of fate.Fortunately, the man across from him doesn't look so heartless, at least he's much better than her back then... "I think we should not meet again in the future." Li Weilian continued, still immersed in the deepest thoughts, "After your daughter goes abroad, if you need, I can take you out too. Of course , the premise is that you want to go on your own, and Zuo Qinghong's matter will not hinder you. But no matter what, we can never communicate with each other from now on." He leaned forward, fixed Wang Jingyi's eyes and asked, "Jingyi, what do you think?" Cold sweat drenched Wang Jingyi's whole body again. She really didn't have the courage to meet the other person's gaze, so she could only let Li Weilian stare at her, while the lines on his face became harder and harder until it was as cold as iron. Li Weilian spoke again, but his tone changed completely: "Since we are going our separate ways, shouldn't you and I get together for the last time? Have a good get-together?" Without waiting for Wang Jingyi to answer, he raised his hand upwards. Pointing: "The 35th floor here, the premium suite is very good, how about tonight?" Wang Jingyi almost jumped up, and waved her hands in confusion: "No, no, don't do this..." "What are you afraid of?!" Li Weilian interrupted Wang Jingyi, and uttered frivolous words in an affectionate tone that could not be refuted at all, "You have been burdened too much these days, let's go and enjoy together, while everyone is still young It's so ugly, let's make some good memories!" He waved to the waiter, and the head waiter immediately ran towards him.Li Weilian took out his ID and credit card: "Check out. Besides, I'm going to stay in the premium suite on the 35th floor, please help me complete the formalities." "Yes, please wait a moment." Wang Jingyi slumped on the seat and said weakly: "People will know..." "No." Li Weilian smiled all over his face, and his whole body suddenly became radiant again, "You go to the room to rest, I go back to the company, I have some things to do, I will come back later. You, in the suite Relax in the spa." The manager of the VIP membership department quickly brought the key card of the super luxurious suite.Li Weilian and Wang Jingyi walked to the elevator together, he helped her waist as tenderly as possible, and whispered in her ear: "I won't have dinner with you, I will send them to the room, you Take it easy...wait for me." After speaking, he left gracefully.
