"Donglai, why don't you tell me and I'll pick you up at the airport?" Lin Xiaojie was as enthusiastic as the weather in Shenzhen.
"It's too troublesome for you. Besides, you are also busy at work. I have been here once and you are familiar with it."
"I'll contact Aunt Cao right away." Lin Xiaojie picked up the phone and prepared to dial.
"No hurry, Xiaojie, let's eat first and contact you in the afternoon."
"Okay, I'm afraid you're in a hurry."
"It's okay. Just make peace with it now that it's here. It depends on Aunt Cao's time."
After dinner, Pei Dong came to take him back to the hotel to rest.
In the afternoon, Lin Xiaojie called and said that she had made an appointment with Cao's mother and would meet at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning.
In the evening, Lin Xiaojie made an appointment with Pei Dong to have dinner together.
After Pei Dong arrived, he saw that Cao Geqing was also there.
"We meet again, President Pei," Cao Geqing said hello first.
"Come dong, sit down, Mr. Cao must receive you personally," Lin Xiaojie said a little embarrassed.
"Thank you, Mr. Cao."
After a while of greetings, Cao Geqing got straight to the point and said: "President Pei, since my mother has agreed to see you, I have no objection, but I have one request, that is, don't make her excited. Isn't that too much? "
"It's not too much. I'll just follow Mr. Cao's request."
Halfway through the meal, Cao Geqing took a call and left, leaving Pei Donglai and Lin Xiaojie behind.
"Donglai, I'm sorry, I didn't tell you before, but I have to ask Mr. Cao for permission first."
"I know, thank you."
"I went to see Mr. Chen. He is very good. Don't worry," Pei Donglai said.
"Thank you, Dong Lai. I plan to visit him in a while." Speaking of Chen Jian, Lin Xiaojie felt a little sad. Although the relationship between the father and daughter was not harmonious, blood was thicker than water after all.
"Mr. Chen has told me, you better not go. He is only three years old and will be out soon."
"Am I really not able to return to Jiangcheng in this life?" Lin Xiaojie asked sadly.
Pei Donglai didn't want to answer her question, and thought to himself: Why are you going to Jiangcheng? Didn’t Zhou Defei come here?
Pei Donglai was a little drunk after drinking too fast with Mr. Cao before. While he could go back now, Pei Donglai said goodbye to Lin Xiaojie.
"Donglai, I'll see you off, you're a little drunk."
"It's okay. I can just take a taxi back. It's not far."
"I drove here. Let's go." Lin Xiaojie pulled Pei Donglai into the car.
After arriving at the hotel, Lin Xiaojie insisted on sending Pei Donglai up.
When they arrived at the door, Pei Dong came and said, "Xiaojie, you should go back. It's not too early."
"Can I come in and get a glass of water?"
Pei Donglai couldn't refuse, so he could only let her into the room.
Lin Xiaojie sat down to drink with a bottle of water, showing no intention of leaving.
"Donglai, do you like those clothes Yutong?"
"Yeah, I still like it, thank you."
"Are you ready to get married?" Lin Xiaojie looked at Pei Donglai and asked.
Pei Donglai was a little drunk and wanted to take a bath and sleep, but Lin Xiaojie was looking for a topic. Pei Donglai couldn't help it anymore and said, "Xiaojie, you go back, I want to rest."
"Okay", Lin Xiaojie reluctantly left.
Early the next morning, Lin Xiaojie called and said she was waiting downstairs in the hotel. Pei Donglai looked at the time and saw that it was not yet 8 o'clock, but he could only get up because he didn't know how far it was from where Cao's mother lived, and it would be bad if it was late.
After going downstairs, Lin Xiaojie drove Pei Donglai to have breakfast, "Xiaojie, just eat nearby. Don't bother. I'll go to Aunt Cao's house later."
"Her home is close to here, less than half an hour's drive away. It's still early. I'll take you to have the best breakfast in Shenzhen," Lin Xiaojie said with a smile on her face.
Sometimes Pei Donglai really doesn't understand why Lin Xiaojie is so enthusiastic about him? If it had been like this before, we would have had several pregnancies today. People are just cheap.
Pei Donglai was thinking about meeting Cao's mother and had no interest in the best breakfast in Shenzhen. He would eat whatever Lin Xiaojie ordered, just using "hmm" to deal with it the whole time.
After breakfast, we went to Cao's mother's house. Although she lived in a commercial house, it was still more than 100 square meters. In this land where every inch of land is precious, it is worth tens of millions.
Although Cao's mother doesn't seem to be in good spirits, her temperament is still there, her facial contours are good, her skin should be taken care of regularly, and she doesn't have many wrinkles. She should have been a beauty when she was young.
"Hello, Aunt Cao, I am Pei Donglai."
"Hello, President Pei, please take a seat," Mother Cao said politely, and asked the nanny to make tea.
"Aunt Cao, I'm leaving first, you guys can chat." Lin Xiaojie left sensibly.
"President Pei, are you doing this for Jiangdong Bank?" Mother Cao said straight to the point.
"Yes, Aunt Cao, Mr. Cao must have told you."
Cao's mother nodded, "The shares were left by Lao Li to his son at that time, not his daughter."
"Aunt Cao, maybe Mr. Cao misunderstood me. The shares are yours. We have no other meaning. What I mean is that we hope you can support us with a vote at the shareholders' meeting."
Mother Cao smiled lightly, "When we were young, Lao Li and I loved each other very much. We were about to get married. At that time, I was already pregnant with Ge Qing. Unexpectedly, Lao Li abandoned him for that rich woman. "I", as she said this, Mother Cao shed tears and looked sad.
After a while, Cao's mother adjusted her mood and said: "President Pei, I didn't agree to meet you before, but now that Lao Li is gone, I can't be so heartless. Although he abandoned me, over the years, , and he also made a lot of compensation, which was regarded as atonement."
Later, Pei Donglai took out a period-looking jade pendant and gave it to Cao's mother. This jade pendant was given to Wu Jing by the old chairman at the time, saying that it was to be passed on to Cao's mother.
Mother Cao looked at the jade pendant and couldn't hold back her tears. Every teardrop fell on the jade pendant, as if she had returned to the time when the two were in love.
"This was a love token given to me by Lao Li at that time. When he left, I threw it away in anger. I didn't expect him to find it back."
After a long time, Cao's mother wiped away her tears and said: "President Pei, I heard from Ge Qing that you manage Jiangdong Bank very well. As a shareholder, we trust you."
"Thank you, Aunt Cao."
With Cao's mother's nod, Pei Donglai was relieved. Now Zhong Daomou no matter what Zhong Daomou did, it would only be 49%25.
After bidding farewell to Cao's mother, Pei Donglai was about to return to Jiangcheng when he received a call from Cao Geqing, "President Pei, I will be the host tonight to give you face."
Pei Donglai could only stay for one more night.
In the evening, after receiving a call from Cao Geqing, Pei Donglai went downstairs and saw a black Rolls-Royce parked in front of the hotel, very conspicuous.
Later, Cao Geqing and Lin Xiaojie got out of the car and greeted Pei Donglai.
"You are too polite, Mr. Cao."
"President Pei, I apologize for my poor hospitality before," Cao Geqing said politely.
