At noon that day, I had a lunch that was endless aftertaste in the school cafeteria, and the afternoon competition continued to begin. Looking at the students who were participating in the competition, or watching the competition, I really hope that I could go back to the past and relive such a wonderful time.

If time can go back to the past, I believe I will work harder to study.

...

In the evening, the entrepreneurial competition ended, and I didn’t stay at school for dinner anymore. After looking at the time, it was already seven o’clock, so I simply solved the dinner outside, and then... I went to the Sale Coffee Shop, and I wanted to see what Xiao Chenyu wanted to make.

When I came to Shale Coffee Shop, it was a very small coffee shop, with a small area inside, not even a lot of customers. At first glance, the person sitting at the end was Xiao Chenyu.

It was only 7:40 now, and I didn't expect that he had arrived early. I thought for a while and walked in the direction where Xiao Chenyu was inside.

I first ordered a glass of iced American coffee at the ordering table, and then walked inside.

"I really didn't expect you to come here. Calculate the time, and it was twenty minutes ahead of time." Xiao Chenyu soon saw me. He glanced at me with a smile on his face, pointed to the chair opposite him, and signaled me to sit down and say.

I sat on the chair opposite him, patted the dust on my pants, and said calmly: "Time is money, stop talking nonsense, just say anything broken."

Seeing me say this, Xiao Chenyu's expression gradually became serious. He nodded and then said, "When I was in school in the morning, I had already told you. I really had no other meaning. I just wanted to talk about cooperation with you."

Xiao Chenyu took out a document from the chair next to him and handed it to the table, "I heard that your Inspur Villa has been building a 'custodial education project' with the No. 1 Primary School in the New District. I hope that Zhongtian Group can participate in providing integrated services such as smart education and catering, and to enter some stores into Inspur Villa. This is a win-win cooperation!"

I guessed that Xiao Chenyu was trying to pay attention to Inspur Villa and was also focusing on the zf project of Binhai New Area, but... how could I let him get what he wanted? There is more than one person who is focusing on the Binhai New Area and Inspur Villa projects, but anyone can come in, but Xiao Chenyu can't!

"Sorry, the shops in Inspur Villa are already full of locations, and the hosting education projects are already open, so there is no need for other partners to come in. So, you go and find someone else to cooperate."

"Did you refuse to accept the documents without even looking at them?" Xiao Chenyu moved the documents closer to me, "Zhou Dongli, take a closer look at this contract. If we work together, I can guarantee that our profits together will reach..."

"Stop talking, I don't agree."

When Xiao Chenyu heard what I said, he was stunned for a moment, then leaned on the chair and smiled weakly. It was a helpless smile. After a short while of silence, he spoke again.

"What we are fighting for in the end is what we are doing? Isn't it still money? Zhou Dongli, your Inspur Villa is in the Binhai New Area. If Zhongtian Group joins, it will inevitably be a strong alliance. In the future, everyone knows that the Binhai New Area will be in a stage of rapid development, and our cooperation will definitely be a win-win situation!"

He knocked the table with his fingers hard, "Zhongtian Group is also your old boss, and there are people from the Ning family there. What's wrong with you lowering the threshold a little? We are businessmen! Pure businessmen should abandon those meaningless pasts. Can you understand this truth by Zhou Dongli?!"

Looking at Xiao Chenyu who was so excited, I sneered in my heart, "Yes, we are all businessmen, but I am not such a 'pure' businessman, at least... I still have a conscience. I don't care whether the newly introduced projects are clean or not, but outsiders don't know the things you have done in the past, but I know them very well. Xiao Chenyu, just give up!"

Our fierce conversation attracted the attention of an employee in the coffee shop. She walked over and looked at us. While I responded to a smile, I waved my hand and signaled her not to worry. She nodded and left.

After a long silence, Xiao Chenyu's emotions gradually calmed down. He raised his eyes and stared at me, and said in a low voice: "So, you don't plan to give another chance to discuss it, right?"

"You are right about this sentence, and there is no room for negotiation." I suddenly leaned closer to the front and said in a deep voice: "You kept saying that this was for the better development of Inspur Villa, what a bullshit cooperation and win-win cooperation? When you asked someone to go to the villa to set fire, did you think about the consequences? There will be no cooperation between you and me, only hatred!"

"Okay, one day you will beg me to put Zhongtian Group in..." Xiao Chenyu sorted out the collar of his shirt, and he stood up and said slowly: "Don't think I don't know. Ning Bingrou went to Yunsheng. On the surface, she said she wanted to go over to relax or something, but in fact she was investigating secretly."

When she said this, Xiao Chenyu's face became sinister, "I tell you that the place where she is is a border. There, it can be said that a person disappeared could be said to have an accident..."

"You fucking dare!" I stood up angrily and grabbed Xiao Chenyu's collar, "If you have anything, just come at me. You always make such disgusting little moves behind your back. What kind of man is this?!"

"Look, just like you, your mind is all about women. There are too many constraints and ties. Sooner or later, something will happen. Just say that, you will be so excited. What big thing can you do? Just give me your Inspur Villa soon!"

Xiao Chenyu raised his hand and broke free from my hand hard. He pulled the corner of his mouth and sneered at me. Then he picked up the document on the table, turned around and walked out in the direction of the door.

After Xiao Chenyu left, I watched the direction of his departure. After a while, I sat back on the chair. I didn't drink the ice American glass on the table.

At this moment, I had a new plan in my mind.

...

After leaving the Sale Coffee Shop, I drove back to Inspur Villa. It was already past ten o'clock in the evening. I sat on the balcony on the second floor of the villa and silently lit a cigarette. After a while, I couldn't help but send a message to Ning Bingrou.

Me: "Have you slept? I want to talk to you."

Until a cigarette was finished, I still didn't get Ning Bingrou's reply. Maybe she was busy or maybe she was asleep. What Xiao Chenyu said to me last night forced me to worry about Ning Bingrou's comfort, but what was even more surprising was that Ning Bingrou went to Yunshen, but no one said that where did Xiao Chenyu learn about her itinerary?

Thinking of this, I put out the cigarette butts in my hand in the ashtray, and then sent a voice message to Li Ruoling.

"Ruoling, book me a flight ticket to Yunsheng tomorrow afternoon. I can just go there alone. In addition, let me tell you about the companies on both sides of Yuzun and Dongxuan Capital. I will go there tomorrow morning to have a meeting for them."

After sending the message, I put down my phone and looked up at the dark night sky... The stars were few and I missed it so much! No matter what else I had to do, I had to put it aside. Tomorrow... I will set off to Yunsheng to find Ning Bingrou!
