Siheyuan: My wife is Xu Huizhen

Chapter 594

In a flash, a low and powerful engine roar suddenly sounded, and cars of various shapes rushed away like arrows that had been released from a bow with a long-gathered momentum.

They rushed along the winding streets towards the luxurious villas in wealthy areas such as Victoria Peak and Repulse Bay, and disappeared from everyone's sight in a moment, leaving only the dust that was rolled up by the wheels and lingered for a long time, as if telling the weirdness and mystery of the secret meeting that had just taken place.

Ye Deli's face was filled with joy, his hands kept waving in the air, and he said excitedly: "Oh my, this bidding is so thrilling! Just imagine, when we were waiting for the results in the conference room, the atmosphere was so tense that it was almost possible to squeeze water out of it.

Who would have thought that the Taixing company would offer a price as high as 408.8 million? When I heard this number, my heart jumped into my throat.

Fortunately, Mr. He, who has a far-sighted vision, took our team and spent several days and nights in advance to carefully analyze the situation, from market supply and demand to competitors' usual strategies, from potential risks in the industry to possible variables, and gradually predicted the possible competitive situation.

Because of this, the price we quoted was 2.2 higher than Taixing! This 2.2, at that moment, was like a key that accurately opened the door to victory and became the key number that determined everything! "

The people around nodded in agreement, still with a bit of fear in their faces: "That's right, the situation today is really dangerous. If we set off early, the time will be very tight, not a second will be missed.

The journey was smooth all the way, without even a red light, as if by divine help.

If there is any delay, such as traffic jam on the road or a small problem in any link, the trip will definitely be late.

Once you are late and miss the bidding deadline, it will be all over and you will not even be eligible to participate in the competition.

We invested so much manpower, material resources, and financial resources in the early stages, and did so much preparatory work, but all of it went down the drain, and the consequences are simply disastrous."

At this time, someone added with lingering fear: "What is even more unexpected is that Taixing Company actually arranged assassins to ambush here this time, trying to harm us! Thanks to Mr. He, if he hadn't been quick-witted and pulled you down at the critical moment, the fatal bullet would have directly penetrated your head! Looking back now, the scene is simply horrifying.

It was just a bid, but I almost lost my life! The competition behind this is so cruel and sinister. "

He Hong nodded deeply with emotion, her eyes still showing the fear of surviving a catastrophe, her voice trembling slightly with excitement, as if the frightened past reappeared before her eyes again: "Yes, looking back at that time, it can be said that I had brushed shoulders with death, life and death were only a blink of an eye! The chaotic scene, the sound of gunfire, the crowd instantly fell into panic, and the screams and shouts around were intertwined.

If I had been a little bit later, and He Yuzhu had not quickly pulled me down, the fatal bullet whizzing towards me would have hit my head directly and taken my life in an instant.

Until this moment, time has passed quietly for a long time, but every time when it is late at night and I think back to that thrilling moment alone, I still feel scared and cold sweat soaks my back.

I thought it was just an ordinary bidding activity, just a chance to win in the business world, but who would have thought that I would almost lose my life and struggle to survive in the hail of bullets? This life-and-death test also made me deeply realize that our industry may seem calm on the surface, but in fact every step is turbulent and full of unknown dangers. If you are not careful, you will step into the abyss of no return and there will be no way back. "

He Hongshen looked relieved for surviving the disaster, tears glistened in his eyes, and he held He Yuzhu's hands tightly with both hands, as if he was holding a life-saving straw.

His voice was trembling, and he was so excited that he could hardly suppress his emotions: "Brother He Yuzhu, you are really my second parents! If you hadn't come down from the sky today, my life would have been ruined by those ruthless guys.

From the moment you stepped forward, this kindness has been engraved in my heart. For the rest of my life, as long as you ask, I will go through fire and water to help you. I will make a way for you no matter what!"

The faces of the people around them gradually regained some color from pale, and their legs were still trembling slightly. They had only just recovered from the thrilling fear.

They first looked at each other, their eyes filled with relief at having survived the calamity, and then, as if pulled by an invisible force, they staggered over and surrounded He Yuzhu.

An old man with gray hair and long gown clasped his hands together, his arms trembling slightly with excitement, and said in a choked voice: "Brother He, today you single-handedly fought off that group of villains and saved us. You are really our savior! If you need me in the future, just let me know!"

At the side, a thin young man nodded vigorously with admiration on his face, "Yes, yes, Master He, if it weren't for you today, those vicious guys would have tortured us and we wouldn't know what to do. The store might have been smashed to pieces, and a few of us would have been injured!"

For a moment, you and I talked at the same time, and words of praise and gratitude intertwined together, drowning He Yuzhu like a tide.

Facing the overwhelming praise and sincere thanks from the crowd, He Yuzhu still had that familiar gentle smile on his face. He waved his hand slowly, his voice steady and powerful, with a reassuring calmness: "Everyone, please don't be so polite. We have known each other for a long time, and we have a deep friendship. We are good friends forever.

In this world, helping each other is the most natural thing.

This time we were able to avert danger and everyone is safe and sound without any bumps or injuries. This is the best outcome.

The current situation is complicated both overtly and covertly. Various forces are ready to make moves, and we may fall into a quagmire if we are not careful.

In the days ahead, we must unite as one and work together. Only in this way can we have the confidence to face the endless and unpredictable challenges. We never know when we will have to work together to overcome difficulties again."

The night is like a huge piece of black silk. Silently and gently, like a hidden traveler, it slowly and softly covers the earth.

At night, the carved wall lamps flicker and sway in the room, and the warm yellow light is like the spring sun, gently falling on every corner.

Everyone sat around the sandalwood table which was filled with delicacies and fine wines. The dishes on the table were all carefully cooked, with tempting colors and fragrant aromas. Curls of hot steam rose up like lively clouds, and the mellow aroma of wine spread wildly, quickly filling the entire room.

Everyone was in high spirits, their words were full of ease and joy, and the laughter was like lively notes, echoing in the air, completely dispelling the tension and gloom brought by the bidding during the day.

The crisp sound of wine glasses clinking together comes one after another, and in this warm atmosphere, it seems as if a cheerful piece of music is being played, adding a different color to this rare gathering time.

I don't know who started it, but in an instant, everyone's eyes were drawn by invisible threads and focused on He Yuzhu.

Then, they all raised their glasses, their enthusiasm clearly concealing a bit of cunning, and lined up to toast him.

"Yuzhu, you have to drink this wine today. On weekdays, everyone is busy with their own things, and it is not easy to get together! Fortunately, we are all together today, and we have gone through such a thing. We must celebrate and thank God for blessing us and keeping us safe."

The person who spoke was Lao Li.

He was smiling so hard that his eyes narrowed into slits, and the wrinkles on his face became more obvious.

The wine glass in his hand was raised high, and the wine in the glass glowed with an alluring amber luster under the warm light from the crystal chandelier.

A gentle shake seems to be telling of this rare moment of reunion.

"That's right, Yuzhu, you can't be so disrespectful to us!"

Fatty Liu had a huge smile on his face, and his round belly trembled with his laughter.

He stood up quickly, holding the wine glass with both hands, leaning forward slightly, and said in an almost flattering tone, "You are a great hero today! If you hadn't heard the news in advance and led the brothers to deal with it skillfully, we wouldn't have been able to win this big deal so smoothly. You must drink this glass of wine, and think of it as a toast to you. In the future, the brothers will have to rely on you to make their way in the Hong Kong business world!"

After saying that, he looked at He Yuzhu eagerly, his eyes full of expectation, as if to say, if you don't drink, it would be very unkind and simply unforgivable.

At this time, Li Laoer, who was sitting next to him, also stood up quickly, smiled apologetically, and echoed: "Brother Yuzhu, what Brother Liu said is absolutely true. You don't know, when we learned that the batch of goods was risky, everyone was panicking, fearing that the cooked duck would fly away. As a result, you took action and settled the matter in no time. This ability is unmatched by any of us. This glass of wine must be toasted, you must do me the honor!"

Everyone nodded, and for a moment, the sound of toasts came one after another, and everyone's eyes were focused on He Yuzhu.

He Yuzhu looked at the cups of clear and transparent wine on the table that exuded a strong and fragrant aroma, and secretly groaned in his heart.

He knew his alcohol tolerance very well. It was just an average level to begin with, and it was fine for him to have a few drinks on weekdays. But if he really did as everyone expected and drank without reservation with everyone, the result would be that he would be drunk and make a fool of himself.

But there is a crucial presentation tomorrow, which is a key link in the advancement of the company's major projects, and I cannot miss it no matter what.

He Yuzhu was extremely anxious, his brain was working rapidly, and suddenly an idea came to his mind - he planned to pretend to be drunk to get away with it and deal with the current round of toasts first.

He deliberately shook his body and staggered, as if he would fall to the ground at any time.

His tongue got tangled and he mumbled incoherently: "Oh, I... I really can't do it anymore. This alcohol is... too strong. It's like a burning knife, rushing straight to my head. My head is almost turned into paste."

However, the people around him had malicious eyes and would never let him go so easily.

Everyone laughed, with a joking look on their faces, and shouted at once: "Zhu Zi, stop pretending, this little bit of wine can't knock you down!" "That's right, stop pretending and drink!"

As he spoke, he picked up the wine jug without hesitation. His sturdy hands were like iron pliers, holding He Yuzhu's wine glass firmly. The amber liquid poured into the glass continuously like a rushing stream.

He Yuzhu waved his arms, trying his best to push away the alcohol, his hands waving in the air, trying to stop the surging flow of alcohol, and kept shouting, "I really can't take it anymore, everyone, please spare me!"

But his voice seemed so weak amid the noise of the crowd, like catkins blown away by the wind.

The crowd was not moved at all and continued to do as they pleased.

Cup after cup of spicy wine was forced into his stomach.

At first, He Yuzhu did pretend to be drunk in order to get away with it, but as he drank more, the strong alcohol began to wreak havoc in his body.

He only felt his head getting heavier, as if being pressed by a huge rock, and his thoughts gradually became confused.

My steps became unsteady, and every step I took felt like I was stepping on fluffy, soft cotton, weak and powerless. My body began to sway uncontrollably from side to side, as if I was a lone boat in the rough sea that could be swallowed up by the waves at any time.

In this noisy and bustling banquet, he had a hard time dealing with the crowd's blockade and toasts, and with great effort, he finally got rid of the overwhelming entanglement.

With unsteady steps and staggering body, he walked unsteadily upstairs. Every step seemed to be on cotton, soft and weak.

Lin Wanting was not far away from him from beginning to end, her eyes closely following his every move, her eyes full of worry and concern.

Seeing him in such a shaky state, she became extremely anxious and hurried forward. She stretched out her arms, which were as slender as willow branches in spring, and firmly grasped his waist to support him.

She frowned slightly, her eyes full of concern, and complained softly, "You, don't you know how to drink less? How can you not take care of your body like this?"

With Lin Wanting's gentle and caring support, He Yuzhu staggered slightly but finally sat down steadily on the small sofa.

The lights in the room were dim and it was so quiet that you could almost hear each other's breathing.

At this time, Lin Wanting had already carefully prepared a bowl of sobering soup on the coffee table nearby.

Wisps of hot steam rose from the edge of the soup bowl, and under the dim light, it seemed as if there was a layer of gauze lingering around it.

She raised her delicate hand lightly, held the bowl steadily, and took steps as light as a cat, her figure swaying like a willow swaying in the wind. She took every step carefully, as if she was holding a rare treasure in her hands.
