"One gold bar, two gold bars, three gold bars..."

"Fourteen gold bars, fifteen gold bars, sixteen gold bars..."

"...How much did you count?"

There were only twenty-nine gold bars in the safe, and Lin Yushu couldn't count them all night.

It's like he didn't play well in the quarrel. Looking back afterwards, the more he thought about it, the more unwilling he became.

Song Qiming thanked him, and he replied no, this is how normal Chinese people get along, isn't it?

Why did he thank Song Qiming in turn, and Song Qiming asked him to thank him grandiosely?

The point is that he didn't realize it at the time, and he felt that it was only natural to give a thank you gift. Shouldn't it be equal to each other?

Lin Yushu has never been so annoyed even by investment failures. He has never suffered such a dull loss since he was a child.

The next morning, Lin Yushu took the elevator to the executive office floor. Although his mental outlook showed no sign of staying up all night, when the girl at the front desk asked him about morning, he did not respond and walked away with a cold face.past.

"Come on, have you seen Manager Lin's reaction?"

The little girl at the front desk began to discuss in a low voice.

"Could it be that the investment lost money?"

"It must be more serious than losing money. Since when was Manager Lin so serious?"

"I think something big is going to happen!"

"Quickly sell the stocks in your hands, the company's stock price may fall again!"

Rumors that something big will happen to Eternal Star soon appeared in the economic forum. Lin Yushu sat in the office and watched inexplicably, completely unaware that these rumors appeared only because he was in a bad mood.

After taking a nap in the office, and dealing with the emails accumulated over the weekend, the whole morning passed quickly, and until Lin Yushu left for the Meditation Villa, he still hadn't figured out the reason for rejecting Shao Zhenbang.

How about just throwing the blame on his brother?

He just said that his family did not agree with his marriage.

But in this way, Shao Zhenbang may say that there is room for negotiation on marrying in, and it is not impossible to marry Shao Zhenrui into the Lin family.

If he really said that, then Lin Yushu would have no way out, because refusing would be tantamount to looking down on Shao Zhenrui.

And according to this logic, no matter what kind of excuses Lin Yushu makes, as long as Shao Zhenbang keeps making concessions, and when he reaches a critical point where he can no longer give in, the final result will only be tearing his face apart.

Therefore, you still can't find excuses from yourself, you have to find reasons from others.

After the weather turned cold, Shao Zhenbang reduced the time to go out for ventilation. When Lin Yushu came to the main residence of Meditation Villa, his aunt said that he was waiting for Lin Yushu in the study.

Lin Yushu finally sorted out his thoughts and came to the study on the second floor. He wanted to talk about the progress of the publication of his autobiography first, but Shao Zhenbang didn't have any foreshadowing, so he asked straight to the point: "How do you think?"

Shao Zhenbang's tone was not as calm as Saturday's, but there was a hint of anxiety, and Lin Yushu didn't know why.

"I think," Lin Yushu said slowly, "this matter needs careful consideration."

——How do you think about it?

——I think this matter needs careful consideration.

If Song Qiming is a master of foolishness, then Lin Yushu is no different. He should call himself a "master of nonsense literature".

"You don't want to get married." Shao Zhenbang sighed, and put his hands on the wheel ring of the wheelchair. Lin Yushu immediately received the signal and went to help him push the wheelchair.

"I just don't think it's that simple." Lin Yushu explained, "Ms. Shao's wishes and mine are secondary. The main thing is to see how the Shao family views this marriage."

The two came to the floor-to-ceiling windows. The sky was cloudy today, and the vegetation was bent over by the violent mountain wind, but they were still struggling to resist the pressure of the mountain wind.

"Has anyone talked to you about this?" Shao Zhenbang asked.

"Boss Shao looked for it." Lin Yushu immediately pushed Shao Guangjie to block the gun.

Instead of letting my elder brother take the blame, why not just throw the blame on Shao Zhenbang's grandson?

After all, Lin Yushu is not an unrelated passer-by, he is the quasi-family office CEO who has worked in the Shao family for so many years, and he knows all the assets of the Shao family clearly.

A person in such an important position as him became Shao Hexu's son-in-law, how could the people on Shao Hedong's side let it go?

Shao Zhenbang only focused on the future of the group, ignoring the calculations in the hearts of his children and grandchildren, and this is exactly what Lin Yushu wanted to say.

If he really joins the Shao family, it will have the same effect as Song Qiming grabbing the family property. The vested interests of the Shao family will definitely not agree, and this will only cause conflicts within the entire family.

And Shao Zhenbang attaches great importance to family harmony, which also made Lin Yushu find a way to refuse.

"Boss Shao is very opposed to the marriage." Lin Yushu was talking about the draft that he had made in advance, but before he finished speaking, Shao Zhenbang interrupted him in a flat tone.

"I know, he came to see me."

"Mr. Shao?" Lin Yushu asked in surprise.

"Yes, not only him, Hedong, Rui Rui, and Qiming all came to look for me." Shao Zhenbang said with a bit of helplessness in his tone, "They all oppose this marriage."

Hearing the familiar name, Lin Yushu was even more surprised: "President Song also came to see you?"

"He came early this morning." Shao Zhenbang said, "I don't know what he messed up, what does it have to do with him?"

The battle over the family property was only concentrated on Shao Hedong and Shao Hexu, and it really had nothing to do with Song Qiming.

Lin Yushu originally wanted to ask what Song Qiming said, but it would seem strange, so he followed Shao Zhenbang's words: "So many people oppose it, and I will be under a lot of pressure."

Shao Zhenbang fell silent, probably knowing how difficult it is to advance this matter.

Lin Yushu suddenly understood why when Shao Zhenbang asked him what he thought, his tone was a little anxious.

Mostly they hoped that he would give an affirmative answer, so that Shao Zhenbang would have the confidence to fight against all opinions.

But Lin Yushu and Shao Zhenrui are both uncooperative, so what can he do as an old man whose days are numbered?

The mountain wind outside the window gradually subsided. Although the vegetation straightened their waists, after the ravages of the mountain wind, they looked somewhat wilted.

Lin Yushu suddenly realized that perhaps it was not him who was really facing the problem, but Shao Zhenbang.

"They are not willing to give up their immediate interests." Shao Zhenbang looked away from the vegetation, slightly tilted his chin, and said to Lin Yushu behind him, "Do you know why I want you to join the Shao family?"

Shao Zhenbang made it clear that he wanted to have a heart-to-heart talk, but it was inappropriate for Lin Yushu to pretend to be confused at this time.

He said succinctly: "Express tram."

"I have told Guangjie and his parents what I think, but they always have various reasons to refute me." Shao Zhenbang sighed, and looked out of the window again, "In the end, they don't care at all.The future of the group only cares about its immediate interests."

Lin Yushu didn't like to comment, so he could only listen silently.

"Qiming agrees with my idea," Shao Zhenbang said again, "but he thinks that the company's focus is on s-power now, and spreading too much at once is not conducive to the company's development."

It seems that Song Qiming really found a high-sounding reason, Lin Yushu thought to himself.

"Of course, the sooner the road is paved, the better. His vision is still too short-sighted." Shao Zhenbang sighed again, "Maybe it is for his own benefit, after all, s-power is the part he is responsible for."

Song Qiming was called "short-sighted" by Shao Zhenbang.

It would be absolutely taboo to put this in the battle for inheritance, because Shao Zhenbang might feel that Song Qiming was incompetent, thus reducing his share of the inheritance.

And Song Qiming should also know that he used some low-level reasons to block the marriage, which might cause Shao Zhenbang to have a negative opinion of him, but he still came like this.

Because he didn't want Lin Yushu to marry someone else.

Lin Yushu's thoughts instantly became a little confused.

He thought of the deep kiss last night, and the "seedling head" that Song Qiming mentioned when the two watched Yu Xiu's movie together.

Before that, it's not that he didn't feel that he and Song Qiming were getting too close, but he never thought about it in an ambiguous direction.

One is that he does not have this habit, and the other is that he is not that sensitive.

But now Song Qiming even did not hesitate to harm his own interests in order to help him stop the marriage, which made Lin Yushu have to think more.

"I don't know how far Eternal Star can go." Shao Zhenbang's voice pulled back Lin Yushu's thoughts, "If I can live a few more years..."

Shao Zhenbang's tone was full of unwillingness and regret, and Lin Yushu couldn't help but feel a little regretful.

Looking back on Shao Zhenbang's magnificent decades, he worked hard to make a fortune, but his children didn't know how to cherish it. In the last days of his life, even if he wanted to do something, he was powerless... It's really sad.

The matter of marriage was put on hold for the time being, and the resolution process was much smoother than Lin Yushu imagined.

Driving the Civic back to the city from the suburbs, passing billboards of all sizes along the way, Lin Yushu noticed an obvious change.

Since Yu Xiu won the best actor last weekend, he seemed to have become the focus of everyone's attention overnight.

Turning on the phone is his news, turning off the phone is his advertisement, shopping malls, buses, and small shops, he can be seen everywhere, even in the most conspicuous electronic advertising screen next to the Eternal Star building, among the dozens of advertisements played around the clock, More than half of them are his endorsements.

This is really a fire.

Lin Yushu returned to the office, glanced at the presence of the electronic screen outside, he happened to think of Shao Hexu's divorce, and Fang Lan called at this time.

"President Fang?" Lin Yushu answered the phone in surprise.

"I heard that you rejected the marriage with Rui Rui." Fang Lan's tone didn't fluctuate at all, and Lin Yushu couldn't figure out what she meant by the phone call.

"I didn't refuse," Lin Yushu said after considering his words, "I just put it on hold for now."

"Last time you came to me and said that Shao Hexu wanted those pieces of land."

Fang Lan changed the subject without warning. Hearing this, Lin Yushu immediately realized that the marriage was just a foreshadowing, and this was Fang Lan's real purpose for looking for him.

"Yes," he said, "do you have any ideas?"

"The land can be given to him, and the company doesn't need to be reorganized, but I have one condition."

There will be no pies in the sky, a thought flashed in Lin Yushu's mind, it must have something to do with the marriage, right?

He immediately cheered up: "Say it."

"Let him block Yu Xiu." Fang Lan said coldly, the conditions he gave surprised Lin Yushu, but not so much, "I don't want to see this person in any public place, and I don't want to hear his name again."

"This..." Lin Yushu said with some embarrassment, "I'm afraid it's not easy to handle..."

"You let him think carefully, and come to me when you figure it out." After leaving this sentence, Fang Lan hung up the phone directly.

Lin Yushu was helpless, how to consider such a condition?He dared not even mention it to Shao Hexu.

It seems that his analysis was correct before, Fang Lan didn't care about benefits at all, she just wanted to vent her anger.

Perhaps the matter of taking the land made her feel a lot better, feeling that she had retaliated against Shao Hexu, but now that Yu Xiu took the Best Actor, she ignited her again, and even made her even more angry than before.

Instead of asking her assistant or lawyer to contact Lin Yushu, she called Lin Yushu herself, explaining that she also knew that what she was doing was irrational, and she used several lands to block a star.

But she wanted to do this, obviously because she was extremely upset, and she didn't have any contacts in the entertainment industry, so she could only vent her anger in this way.

Lin Yushu couldn't help looking at Yu Xiu outside the window, thinking what to do?

At this time, the phone suddenly vibrated, and it was Song Qiming calling.

"What does my grandfather say?"

"never mind."

After Lin Yushu finished speaking succinctly, he was about to talk about Yu Xiu, but Song Qiming took the lead and said: "That's good, let's go to see Yu Xiu's new movie tonight."

"Isn't it released on Friday?" Lin Yushu glanced out of the window again, it happened to be the promotional advertisement of the award-winning movie.

"I asked someone to get the key, so I can watch it in advance tonight." Song Qiming said.

... Trustee?

This kind of thing is not easy. Not only do you need to know the people in the theater, but you also have to know the producer.

Lin Yushu could only think of one candidate—could it be that Song Qiming went to find Shao Hexu in private?

But that doesn't seem to be the point.

He asked, "Can't I watch it on Friday? It's such a hassle."

"No trouble, I want to book a movie with you."

The ambiguous radar is a very magical thing. When it's not working, no matter what Song Qiming says, it can't make it work.

But once it's running, it's as sensitive as a seismograph.

Book a movie?

Ordinary friends don't do this kind of thing.

Lin Yushu thought for a while and said, "Okay, see you downstairs."

"Now?" Song Qiming's voice was a little surprised, "It's half an hour before I get off work."

"Well, skipping work."

Usually after get off work, Song Qiming would leave first and send a message to Lin Yushu while waiting for the elevator.

Today, the two came out of the office at the same time, and naturally met at the elevator entrance.

Song Qiming glanced at the girl at the front desk behind him, looked at Lin Yushu with raised eyebrows, and asked with his eyes: "You don't shy away from skipping work together?"

Lin Yushu just pretended not to see it, and looked at the floor display screen without distraction.

On the way downstairs, many people came and went in and out of the elevator, but Lin Yushu never spoke.

It wasn't until the elevator passed the second floor, and only the two of them were left in the car, that Lin Yushu looked at Song Qiming beside him, and asked calmly, "What do you mean you want to book a movie with me?"

"Huh?" Song Qiming probably didn't expect Lin Yushu to speak suddenly, but he immediately understood what Lin Yushu was asking, and replied without changing his face, "I'm chasing you, didn't you see it?"

Although Lin Yushu had already guessed pretty close, when he heard Song Qiming's answer, there was still a huge ripple in his heart.

Song Qiming.

That world-class automotive engineer Song Qiming.

Song Qiming, the owner of the team he likes.

That Song Qiming who he has been following on ins for five or six years.

to chase him.

But this man is a playboy, what can we do?

Lin Yushu's thoughts were as chaotic as a pile of data cables that hadn't been sorted out in ten years, but he remained calm on the surface, stepped out of the elevator with a normal expression, and said in a neutral tone: "Oh, then you have to chase after it."
