January 15th, 4:50 pm.

The most luxurious hotel in the city, a brightly lit press conference hall.

Charles, Chen Zheng, and a group of Chinese personnel are looking forward to it.

In the audience, the reporters were packed, all holding the cameras in their hands, looking back at the entrance of the venue from time to time, wanting to see the true appearance of the founder of the Qingcheng brand, who has been rising wildly recently.

The low-key invisible female rich man in the rumors came from her, and the creativity and design of the brand were handed over to professional managers before, but this time she arrived in Lin City in person because she had to sign a share transfer agreement.

...

In fact, many people within DG company also opposed this acquisition.

They feel that at such a high moment of national sentiment, DG came out and announced that it had acquired another one, which was really adding fuel to the fire and aroused a stronger boycott.

But Charles disagreed.

In his opinion, Chinese people are different from Americans. On the road to pursuing ideas and fairness, Chinese people often only have a moment of enthusiasm. Once they pass through the heat or encounter big setbacks, their passion magically fades away and they lack resilience.

So Charles felt that pulling Qingcheng into his own camp at this moment was not to add fuel to the fire, but to pour cold water on the heads of the boycotters. People's enthusiasm will not become higher, but on the contrary, they may be depressed because of the blow.

Moreover, the alliance with Qingcheng has other benefits: it can not only embellish the peaceful appearance of good cooperation between China and foreign capital and strive for more public opinion support; it can also strike a blow to Li Zhicheng's alliance and shake the morale of the army. Furthermore, Qingcheng is indeed a brand with good profitability, just like fresh blood injected into the DG Group.

With this fresh blood, DG may have survived this difficulty.

...

Time passed minute by minute. The atmosphere in the conference hall gradually became restless.

The signing time has passed at 5 o'clock.

The heroine hasn't appeared yet.

The reporters had already started to whisper in a low voice. Charles, who was sitting in the first row, still had a spring breeze-like smile on his face, turned to look at Chen Zheng.

"Why haven't you come yet?" a low voice.

Chen Zheng was actually a little up and down.

He stood up and said, "I'll go and see."

When I arrived at the backstage work room, a subordinate came towards me, with a look of panic and incredible: "Mr. Chen! They just called and said they would not sign the contract anymore. I apologize to us..."

Chen Zheng was stunned for a moment.

Almost growled: "Call me!"

"The contact person over there has been shut down..."

The lights above the head were shining, and the discussion outside was getting louder and louder. It fell into Chen Zheng's ears, but it was buzzing like a mosquito.

His breathing slowly became slow and slow.

This is the first time he has encountered such a partner who has turned against him so quickly and has no credibility in his business world for so many years.

A thought burst into my mind strongly - how is it possible?

Looking back on the communication with the other party these days, I clearly showed great interest. Moreover, the other party also bargained a lot - if it weren't for the real sale, it wouldn't be like this.

What you are most afraid of when signing a contract is that you have a good deal before, but suddenly at the last moment, the other party will stop doing it. It will only make you angry that your blood is in your heart, but you have nowhere to vent.

Because as long as there is no final signature on paper, both parties have no rights and obligations and do not bear legal liability.

But today, when the other party suggested that Charles readily agreed, Chen Zheng invited dozens of media to build momentum for this cooperation. If he was slapped in the face in front of so many media, the already stormy DG China will become a complete joke in the eyes of the public opinion community! The people's boycott will definitely be even more exciting!

Thinking of this, Chen Zheng suddenly felt cold.

Could it be... this is simply a trap?

He looked resentful and slowly turned his head, looking at the extremely brilliant conference hall outside.

He thought, Charles said, as long as China keeps its last breath and stops getting into trouble, it can survive.

Is this still there now?

——

“At 5:30, Lin City Economic Channel.”

When he received Lin Qian's text message, Li Zhicheng was sitting in the conference room of Ida Group, holding a meeting with several executives.

He put his phone back on the desktop with a quiet expression, looked up at everyone: "Let's pause for a moment." He looked at Jiang Yuan beside him: "Turn on the TV."

Except for Gu Yanzhi who was playing outside, other important figures were present at this moment. Liu Tong, Xue Mingtao... Seeing the boss say this, they all looked at the LCD screen on the wall with interest.

Reporting news.

The reporter stood downstairs of a brilliant hotel building and reported solemnly: "...This afternoon, in the conference hall of the Beihai Shengting Hotel, a share signing ceremony between DG Group and Qingcheng Brand will be held. However, it has passed five o'clock now, and the person in charge of Qingcheng Brand has not appeared. We also saw protesters at the entrance of the hotel, still holding various slogans to oppose the acquisition..."

Lin Qian created a brand independently, and only a few people here knew about it. At this time, Xue Mingtao, who was most familiar with her, smiled first: "I knew it! This is the empty city plan, but he actually directly slandered people!"

Liu Tong also shook his head and laughed.

Li Zhicheng looked at the TV screen lightly, and said nothing.

Very brave.

A newly established small brand dares to publicly break up with DG. Even if DG is on the decline, it is still easy to ban her.

But Li Zhicheng felt a faint joy in his heart.

This woman acted recklessly, just because she had his support behind her back.

At this time, the reporter's voice suddenly rose a little: "... I just received a message from my colleague that the founder of Qingcheng brand has returned to Lin City and is now at the airport. Let's switch the picture to the airport..."

In the conference room, everyone was more focused.

When Li Zhicheng heard the four words "Back to Lin City", he clearly felt his heart and jumped. His silent eyes also became deeper.

Finally I know I'm back.

He lets the free woman go.

At the same time, in many places in the city: under the LCD advertising screen on the street, among the protesters downstairs of the Shengting Hotel in Beihai, in the homes of many people, in the office buildings of Ida Group... and the DG press conference where the media were about to disperse, the news spread quickly. Many people were watching TV, taking out their mobile phones, or sitting in front of the computer, and watching this explosive news directly.

Even Charles and Chen Zheng avoided the media's capture, stood in the studio with a calm face, watching the TV on the wall.

The airport terminal appears on the screen.

It was already a little dark, and the bright lights made the entrance and exit of the terminal very clear. A woman, wearing a navy blue coat, high heels, and sunglasses, walked out with her luggage surrounded by a group of people.

Several media outlets guarding the door rushed forward.

"Ms. Lin, Ms. Lin!"

"Is this time you are here to sign a share agreement with DG Group?"

"Why did you arrive just now and have passed the signing time? Is the flight delayed?"

...

Don’t ask the media how she knew her surname was Lin, and she knew that she would return to Lin City at this time.

Of course, someone broke the inside story.

Otherwise, how could Charles and Chen Zheng, who were also standing in front of the TV, look so angry that their faces were ferocious, and the muscles on their faces began to tremble.

"Sorry, Mr. Lin won't answer the question!" The secretary next to him was very conscientious and wanted to drive the media away.

But at such a high-profile moment, why are the reporters willing to leave? The lights are getting more and more densely flickering, which only blocks the exits.

In such chaos and expectation, Lin Qian stopped suddenly and reached out to let the secretary and subordinates who were blocking him stand.

"It's okay, just ask if you have any questions." The woman's voice was gentle and polite. Although she was still wearing sunglasses, she still couldn't cover her fair and beautiful outline. She stood in everyone's sight with a simple but glamorous look, with a smile on her lips, which easily made people feel good.

So the reporters were silent in an instant.

Then more enthusiastic questioning and doubts broke out.

"Will you sell the Qingcheng brand to DG?" asked a loud voice.

It is also the most sensitive and important issue.

All the shots were aimed at her.

Outside the camera, everyone who was watching the live news was also waiting for the woman's answer.

In the night, the woman's sunglasses reflected lights, and her chin looked very young with beautiful lines.

She was silent for a while. The silence made everyone's hearts tighter.

Li Zhicheng looked at the woman who had not seen for a long time in the picture. Her long hair was as black as a waterfall and her figure was graceful. He was not very concerned about what she was saying. He just watched her walk out of the airport, but he seemed to have seen the woman walk back into his arms.

The son returned home, and he was suitable for his family.

He lowered his eyes slightly, picked up the tea on the table, and took a sip. The tea was covered with nectar, clear and yellow, and the fragrance remained on his lips and teeth.

"Won't."

A crisp female voice, a sure tone.

She even smiled, paused, and emphasized: "Never."

At this moment, many people's hearts are quiet. Human emotions are a very wonderful thing. When they hear this faint "never", a certain emotion in a person's heart seems to be violently aroused and begins to ferment in their hearts.
