Crossing the line

Chapter 122 Because I Miss You So Much

Wen Yangzhi was originally teasing her, so he withdrew his arm.

Zhao Qin pretended that the two people were not in the old house and avoided them. When Wen Wei bumped into them, he smiled at them in a friendly manner.

Wen's board of directors was held as scheduled, but everyone knew that this was a competition between Director Lin and Director Wen.

Lin Zhidong decided to let the shareholders' meeting intervene and add two of his people to the board of directors.

As soon as everyone arrived, he took the initiative: "Director Wen has kept so much bank liquidity for two years. When underwriting government bonds before, Director Wen played the safe card."

Lin Zhidong showed his big buck teeth in a friendly manner and sat down to the left of Wen Yangzhi. As soon as he sat down, he was much shorter than Wen Yangzhi, as if he was sitting in an elevator with the lower half of his body stuck on the floor below:
"But this is a business after all. If President Wen applies the doctrine of the mean here, I'm afraid it will be difficult for Wen's to survive in the future. Not to mention its global ranking, even its domestic ranking has dropped a lot."

Wen Yangzhi just listened quietly to the other party's seemingly friendly remarks that actually did not take him seriously.

After listening to him, Wen Yangzhi said calmly: "Eva, play the slides."

The secretary quickly stepped forward to show the slides and explained, "This is the current liquidity of Magu yesterday and today."

"Yesterday, the liquidity of Magoo was 2411 billion U.S. dollars. So far today, it is 2213 billion U.S. dollars."

The directors looked at each other.

Regardless of how Wen Yangzhi obtained such confidential data, everyone can see what a huge difference it makes to have 20 billion US dollars less in working capital.

But what does this have to do with the Wen family?
Lin Zhidong took a sip of tea and smiled: "Director Wen, we have more liquid funds than Maigu, does that prove that we are doing well?"

Other directors also spoke up: "Our competition is only with Magu? We can't even beat them domestically."

Wen Yangzhi, however, looked like he was sitting on the Diaoyutai, ready to open the window to look out the river:

"Soon, Wen's will become the number one business in the country."

The directors laughed secretly in their hearts, mostly with ridicule, although they did not show it. However, what made Wen's company the number one trading company in the country?
Now Wen's ranks sixth among trading companies and is the leader in Shanghai, but it is not good enough in the whole country.

Young people are still ignorant.

The executive director on Wen Yangzhi's right laughed out loud, "Director Wen, if you have a lot of liquid funds, you can secure your position as the No. 1 commercial bank. Wouldn't it be better to just save the money and not invest it?"

Wen Yangzhi knew that no one would believe it if he just put it out like this, so he remained calm:
"I did leave a lot of liquid funds without making any investment, but the RMB exchange rate has fallen, so leaving the funds flowing without making any investment is also an investment. What's more, this money now has a use."

Someone asked slowly, "So? Director Wen has a big project that can be invested in?"

Wen Yangzhi looked up at the data on the PPT and calmly said something that no one believed:
"Yes, I plan to acquire Magu."

The directors were stunned.

At the end of the more than ten-meter-long table, Wen Yangzhi leaned back in a leather chair with a calm posture, waiting for everyone to speak.

Zhu Nongzhang took Yun Yuwan to an alley in the old city that had not yet been demolished, and walked through the winding paths.

Yun Yuwan walked past the clothesline hanging in the air, being careful not to touch the dusty electric bike parked on the side of the road: "Is the half-immortal you mentioned so powerful?"

"Sister-in-law, if you don't believe me, given our relationship, I wish I could crawl into your bed with Director Wen at night and sleep with you and get along well with you." Zhu Nongzhang was holding a bag of apples and strongly recommending them to everyone.

"She is very good at predicting marriages. She was able to predict when we would break up with my three ex-boyfriends and what secrets they had that they didn't tell me. She is simply amazing."

The bodyguard behind him followed him through the alley, and the residents passing by couldn't help but take a few more glances.

"Is it really that magical?" Yun Yuwan was curious.

Zhu Nongzhang said mysteriously: "You will know what miraculous skills mean when you go there."

Arriving in front of a self-built house, Zhu Nongzhang knocked on the door: "Madam, we are here."

An old woman, leaning on a cane and hunched over, opened the door and said, "Come in."

Zhu Nongzhang followed him in first. Yun Yuwan looked at the dark room. There was a shrine in the living room with fresh fruits and vegetables placed in front of the Buddha statue. The floor of the first floor was not made of ceramic tiles but red mud bricks, which were dark red and felt damp.

Yun Yuwan didn't say anything, feeling inexplicably that this place was a bit spooky.

Before going up the stairs, the old woman looked at Zhu Nongzhang and asked, "Is this a question for you?"

Zhu Nongzhang quickly pointed at Yun Yuwan and said, "Ask her."

The old woman nodded: "Then you step aside for a while."

Then he looked at Yun Yuwan: "Come with me."

Yun Yuwan's heart was beating fast for some reason, so she followed the old woman upstairs. The view from upstairs was much wider, and she could even see the Suzhou River through the old wooden windows.

The old woman first lit three incense sticks and then recited a long passage in dialect into the air, which sounded like a spell or a scripture.

After a while, she handed Yun Yuwan a piece of red paper and said, "Girl, write your date of birth and the date of birth of the man you want to calculate on this paper."

This was Yun Yuwan’s first time calculating something like this. After she finished, the old woman took a look at it:
"Are you looking to see if you can get married?"

Yun Yuwan didn't want to see anything in particular, but she was indeed curious, so she said, "Yes."

"He is four years older than you. Are you meeting him now?" The old woman looked at the red paper.

Yun Yuwan said frankly: "We have known each other for more than seven years, almost eight years."

"Maybe they are family acquaintances." The old woman nodded.

Yun Yuwan began to feel that there was something going on: "The two families are old friends, and my mother has some favors towards them."

"Did your family agree to this?"

Yun Yuwan didn't know why she asked, "His mother doesn't quite agree."

The old woman suddenly said, "Wait a minute, you don't agree?"

Yun Yuwan didn't know what the problem was: "Yes..." But the old woman didn't say anything immediately, just frowned and said: "Have you liked this man for a long time?"

Yun Yuwan was surprised: "Yes, he is too."

The old woman asked, "Did he miss you during that time? Did he never find a girlfriend?"

"Yes, not one."

The old woman suddenly pointed at the red one, her face solemn: "Are you sure you don't have it?"

Yun Yuwan was confused: "I'm sure he's not a liar."

The old woman looked up at her face and saw that she was dressed in fine clothes:
"This man is outstanding, but he hasn't had a girlfriend in several years."

Yun Yuwan thought it was normal, after all, they cared about each other: "Right."

"Have you ever asked him if there's any hereditary disease in his family?"

Yun Yuwan was stunned: "He never said this. I lived with him for a while, and everything was normal."

"So is he particularly fond of cleanliness?"

"That's right." Yun Yuwan was amazed, "...You can even calculate this?"

The old woman lit three more incense sticks and said, "Think carefully. There may be a mismatch in personality, but there should be a result in a short time."

"Incompatible personalities?" Yun Yuwan was surprised.

But they have nothing to do during this period.

The old woman said, "Looking at your horoscope, it's inappropriate to say more."

"I can add money." Yun Yuwan felt that this thing was simply magical.

The old woman raised her old eyes and looked at her: "It's not okay to add money. If it's true, you can come back to fulfill your wish later."

Yun Yuwan went downstairs a little distracted, but Zhu Nongzhang had already put the money from the gods into a red envelope and handed it to the old woman's daughter.

The old woman's daughter went upstairs and casually placed the bag of apples on the sofa: "Mom, you have asked the gods again."

"If you know how to judge people, you can tell their destiny. You don't have to ask gods every time. Asking too much will shorten your life." The old woman washed her hands in a ceramic basin.

He turned around to see the bag of apples and scolded, "Don't throw things around."

The old woman's daughter put her legs on the coffee table and said, "Why? Only mentally ill people have mysophobia. It's normal for me to throw things around like this, okay?"

"It's not normal to litter." The old woman shook her hands.

Yun Yuwan and Zhu Nongzhang were walking in the alley.

Zhu Nongzhang was afraid that she would feel uncomfortable, so he took the initiative to say, "This half-immortal is weird."

"But she was able to accurately predict my situation several times." Yun Yuwan found it a little magical.

Zhu Nongzhang was curious: "What did she say about you and Director Wen?"

Yun Yuwan was confused: "If you say that we should consider it carefully and our personalities are not compatible, there will be results in a short time."

"It's so strange. This is the first time I heard this. It's so vague. I didn't ask you to break up, but I didn't say it's not possible either." Zhu Nongzhang carefully avoided a puddle.

What is a result? Is it the result of blossoming and bearing fruit? Or is it the result of seeing the bad problems emerge and ending the relationship?

Ke Yun Yuwan counted on her fingers and calculated the time for them to get used to each other that Wen Yangzhi had set for them.

Three months, and in less than two months we can talk about getting married.

Does it mean that they are married but their personalities still need to be adjusted?
As soon as Yun Yuwan returned home, she saw Wen Yangzhi sitting on the sofa on the first floor.

She was curious: "Why are you here?"

He turned off his phone and stood up: "Wait for you to come back."

He stood up, his long legs were eye-catching, and Yun Yuwan only then noticed that he was not wearing a suit, but jeans and a sweatshirt:

"Why are you dressed like this?"

He lowered his long black eyelashes and looked at her: "I was just about to go play tennis."

He walked inside.

Yun Yuwan followed him, and when they reached the corner of the stairs, she asked, "Why don't you go?"

He suddenly stopped, turned around and hugged her: "Because I miss you so much."

His embrace was warm and broad, and Yun Yuwan couldn't help but pull the muscles on her face towards a smile.

The two of them hugged each other in the empty stairwell. He never let her go, and Yun Yuwan also leaned in his arms.

Wen Wei happened to pass by, looked down, and saw Wen Yangzhi holding Yun Yuwan.

After a while, Wen Yangzhi lowered his head.

Originally Wen Wei was curious about what they were talking about so closely, but when he bent down, he saw Wen Yangzhi and Yun Yuwan kissing.

Wen Wei froze for a moment.

Wen Yangzhi held her waist, turned his head slightly while kissing her, and supported the back of her head with one hand.

Wen Wei was old and confused, and he walked away with the thermos cup in his hand.

Still, it's pretty sticky.
