Same crime

Today's marathon-like negotiation lasted five hours, except for half an hour for lunch in the middle, and the rest of the time was basically spent in verbal discussions.

Whether it was Shi Mucheng, Gu Ming or Gong Yuechao, none of them expected that the always ambiguous Gong Group would prepare the contract materials first. This really caught them by surprise, but on the other hand, it also reflected that their sincerity.

Fortunately, Chen Yusheng was recruited because he had thought more comprehensively in advance, and because he attached great importance to this project, it can be said that everyone present was very familiar with it, so they did not suffer in this negotiation.

Later, they recalled that the scene was actually very intense, and when they talked about excitement, they would get red-faced and full of gunpowder.After all, shopping malls are like battlefields, and no matter how big a company is, it will become haggling over trivial profits.

Profit, how much profit, price reduction, and to what extent, etc., etc., all kinds of details, trivial, turned the original contract from beginning to end, every word, every sentence carefully considered and compared. After discussing and reaching an agreement, the places that need to be revised and the key points of revision are marked with a pen.

For such a long time, everyone present seemed to have gotten used to this rhythm, and they didn't even show signs of fatigue.At the end of the discussion, the contract has a rough prototype, and the follow-up is followed up between the teams. Both parties are very satisfied with the extremely efficient progress.

This lengthy meeting ended with Shi Mucheng's happy cooperation, and several people stood up and shook hands in greeting.

After that, they drove to the industrial park with the people from the Gong Group to visit, and then had a meal together to celebrate.

Therefore, the business dinner of Mucheng and Gong's two groups was arranged in a five-star hotel.

The taste of this kind of high-end hotel dishes is much worse than that of many small restaurants, but the appearance is exquisite and beautiful.This kind of business banquet is actually about business, and the ostentation is obviously more important. No one will really taste the dishes seriously, so this place is very suitable for business needs.

This is a small banquet hall with a large enough area and magnificent decoration. There is a huge round solid wood dining table in the middle, and the back of the matching solid wood dining chair is carved with complicated patterns. There is also a sense of warmth, which shows that the price is not cheap.A shining crystal lamp is hung on the ceiling, which raises the whole space to a higher level. There is a whole wall of traditional Chinese painting hanging on the wall.

When the business matters came to an end, no one talked about business affairs anymore, and it was more about mutual flattery, which is called "commercial bragging".

At this time, a table of more than ten people was talking and laughing with wine glasses.

Shi Mucheng was flanked by Gong He and Gu Ming on both sides. He raised his wine glass and touched Gong He's lightly. The scarlet wine in the crystal glass swayed and exuded a sweet smell of alcohol. He raised it to his mouth He took a sip, smacked the taste carefully, and swallowed it down his throat. He didn't understand red wine, and he disliked it the day before, but now he pretended to understand it, and first praised it artificially, " Good wine", then slowly said: "I am so happy that the cooperation between our two companies can be achieved this time. I have been in Zhangzhou shopping malls for many years, and Mr. Gong has a good reputation, but it is difficult to have the opportunity to cooperate. A regret in my heart. Now that our two companies have reached a cooperation, and we have had close contacts with Mr. Gong, I feel more and more that you really deserve your reputation, and you are indeed a hero among women. You can manage such a large company I am very envious of the fact that you are so well-organized and your performance is booming. I also heard that Mr. Gong has a very good investment vision. Before you invested in that emerging technology company called "Rising Sun Mingze", you also gained a lot of money. Praise. My company can reach a cooperation with Gong Shi, which is the most brilliant event our company has done this year."

"Where is that, what are you talking about." Gong He responded politely, took a sip of the juice in the glass, and then smiled: "The technology company you are talking about is just my brother who is not up to date. It started in China, this kid is not serious all day long, I thought he was really interested in doing business when he started a company, who knows that everything is managed by others, and he is not doing business properly, I said let him do it The company went to work, and the business was handed over to him, but he still didn’t do it. There is no way, the burden of this family is all on me, and I can only bite the bullet.” Although Gong He’s tone was complaining, he could still listen It's hard to hide his pampering for my younger brother in his words, "Hey, I shoulder such a big responsibility, the pressure is too great, I can only do my best, but fortunately, there are so many capable assistants around me, who have shared a lot with me. "She gestured proudly to the officers of the Gong Group who sat beside her and played an important role in today's negotiations.

Shi Mucheng sighed and said: "Hey, I deeply agree with what Mr. Gong said, and I am really ashamed to say it. Back then, I mistrusted slanderous rumors in Suijiang, which led to investment failure. I squatted in it for several years. It was Gu Ming who helped me clean up and support me. After I came out, I started to plan this industrial park project, hoping to make a good turnaround. This is another busy work of Yuechao before and after the run. Now it has not only formed a scale, but also made further progress. I have the opportunity to cooperate with you. As for me..." He smiled, "It's like sitting back and enjoying the benefits. This right-hand man really helped me a lot." As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and patted the seat on the other side Gu Ming's shoulder.

"Mr. Gu is really a dragon and phoenix among people. He is prudent and considerate in his work, and he thinks very comprehensively. He is a trustworthy person." Gong He praised: "I have dealt with Mr. Gu often. If you want to say that Mr. Gong next to you has contacted There are relatively few, and this is the first time I have seen his demeanor. He is young and has a bookish look on his body. If I don't say anything, I would think he is a cultural person." She looked past Gu Ming and looked at Gong Yuechao, " My younger brother is fine and likes to write, but he doesn't have Mr. Gong's temperament."

"Don't tell me, Yuechao was really a teacher before." Shi Mucheng cast his eyes on Gong Yuechao, and couldn't help saying triumphantly: "It's because I have a unique eye, I took a fancy to him, and persuaded him to do it with me. He It's a real piece of gold that shines wherever it goes."

Gong Yuechao smiled at Gong He, raised his wine glass, and made a gesture of clinking glasses in mid-air.Gong He received it and also raised his glass to signal.

"You're right." Gong He complimented.

"Come, come, eat more vegetables..."

After the banquet was over and the people were sent away, Shi Mucheng stood at the entrance of the hotel with his waist pinched, staring at the convoy leaving in the distance, and was dazed for a while.

Gong Yuechao just came out of the checkout with Feng Pei, saw Shi Mucheng guarding the gate motionless, patted him from behind, and said, "Brother Cheng, what's wrong?"

Shi Mucheng turned his head, gave him a satisfied smile, grabbed his shoulder and said, "Happy! Let's go, brother will take you to enjoy it." After speaking, he turned around and walked to the hotel lobby.

Shi Mucheng is in a good mood visible to the naked eye, because he is one step closer to his goal. This is really a beautiful turnaround, and the shame of Suijiang has been washed away...all this is worth Shi Mucheng The city is happy.

Gong Yuezhao understood his experience and could understand his happiness, so he was also infected, with the corners of his mouth curled up, and he said, "Let's go!"

The group went straight to the hotel's bathing center, changed their clothes, and met each other frankly.

After entering the bathing hall, Gong Yuechao was dragged away by Shi Mucheng. Chen Yusheng originally wanted to go forward to communicate with Gong Yuechao, but when he saw this situation, he tactfully hid aside.

The two of them went down into the hot spring pool, and the slightly hot water temperature aroused goosebumps all over Gong Yuechao's body.After getting used to it, an indescribable sense of comfort emanated from the soles of the feet, almost every pore was stretched, instantly relieving the fatigue of the day, and he couldn't help exhaling.

Shi Mucheng put his arms back on the edge of the pool, looked at Gong Yuechao's lean figure, and said to him: "It's been a long time, and I haven't seen you grow any flesh. I thought the company's food is also good. , People who don’t know think I’m abusing you.”

Gong Yuechao swung the water over her arms and said, "Hey, I'm busy every day, and it's not easy to grow fat when I have something on my mind."

Shi Mucheng touched the scar on Gong Yuechao's shoulder with his hand, and asked, "Does it still hurt?"

Gong Yuechao smiled: "It's been so long, why does it still hurt?"

Shi Mucheng sighed: "Hey, I also made you suffer a lot at that time, and I always feel sorry for you. Seeing you have today's grades, and others praise you in front of me, I always feel that the one I chose for you The road is not bad. I was thinking, if I didn’t meet you, would I still have the achievements and progress I have today.” I don’t know if Shi Mucheng drank too much red wine and soaked in hot springs. It's a bit sad, but also recalls the past.

"Brother Cheng, without me, you will definitely succeed. Gu Ming is also very loyal to you, and he is more capable than me. I am always grateful to you, and it is also my blessing to be able to help by your side."

Shi Mucheng laughed heartily, "You are really getting better at talking, hey, I said it's really nice here, why don't you call your little policeman?"

"What about my family?" Gong Yuechao teased, she still didn't want to admit everything last night in her heart, and even needed a process to digest and absorb it, and also needed time for the people around her to accept this fact.However, the people around him are much more acceptable than him, and now he is passive instead. "I won't call him anymore. After all, he is still a public servant. It's not good to be seen here."

Shi Mucheng pursed his lips, and his eyes shifted from the scar to the mark on his neck, "Don't tell me, this little policeman is very enthusiastic." There was a bit of joking in the words, Gong Yuechao only felt his cheeks getting hot, but he also said Speechless to refute.He just wanted to say something else to change the subject, but at this moment, Chen Yusheng, who had just taken a shower, got into the water with several bottles of mineral water, and saw the marks on Gong Yuechao's body at a glance.

Gong Yuechao didn't pay much attention to him all day, and didn't communicate much during the meeting. Now that his anger was still there, Chen Yusheng touched his arm with a low eyebrow, and didn't dare to mention the mark, so he handed it to him. A bottle of water, and asked him slightly flatteringly: "Xiao Chao, what's wrong with you, are you still angry with me?"

Gong Yuechao neither took the bottle of water nor looked at him, but didn't want Chen Yusheng to think he was too petty, so he asked sullenly, "When will Wang Xuejiang's case start?"

Chen Yusheng knew his friend too well. This question was obviously to give himself a step down, and he didn't seem to care too much. He unscrewed the bottle cap, forced the water into Gong Yuechao's hand, and said, "January NO. 11, you Want to go to the courtroom?"

Today, during the busy break, Gong Yuechao was still thinking about this matter, and now he had a plan in his mind, he nodded and said, "I want to go and have a look."

"That's fine, I'll arrange it."

In fact, other people are allowed to participate in the public hearing, but because the superiors of this case attach great importance to it, and the trial will be broadcast live, so the court needs to register the observers.

Gong Yuechao, who was slightly drunk, was soaked in hot water again, and he was a little drunk. He took a sip of mineral water, and the cool liquid slid down his throat into his body, and he became a little sober. There are too many people here, so it is not suitable to talk Regarding the monitoring equipment, he decided to talk to Shi Mucheng tomorrow.

Just at this time, Chen Yusheng whispered to him, "I heard something, and I think you need to know it."

Gong Yuechao asked sharply: "What's the matter?" It was almost like a telepathy, and the speculation from the morning couldn't help but linger in his mind again.

"I think Shi always needs to know about this matter."

"Oh?" Shi Mucheng's attention was aroused.

Chen Yusheng looked around and said in a low voice, "There are too many people talking here, so let's move to another place." He got up first, and went to call Gu Ming who was soaking in another pool with a slightly higher temperature.

Gong Yuechao and Shi Mucheng exchanged a look, stood up together, went to the door and wrapped a bath towel around his waist, followed Gu Ming and Chen Yusheng to an empty lounge.
