Banks and commercial companies are much busier than securities companies. As it approaches nine o'clock, the elevators in the North Tower are still crowded with people waiting to go upstairs, mostly young women with beautiful faces.

After Lu Jianchao and the others squeezed into the elevator first, when the next elevator came, Cao Mo, Cheng Xi, Chen Chang, and Yu Jing finally squeezed in.

Cao Mo thought to himself that in the eyes of outsiders, he and Li Xiaodong were just casual acquaintances. What excuse would he find later to go to Li Xiaodong's office and watch the excitement?

He then thought again, Lu Jianchao and Lu Jiancheng brothers knew in their hearts that he had come over to watch the fun, just to see their embarrassment, so it was perfectly normal for him to find any lame excuses.

"Would you like to have dinner together at noon?"

When the elevator reached the floor where Yinguang Plaza Commercial Group was located, Yu Jing squeezed out of the elevator while discussing lunch with Cheng Xi and Chen Chang.

The elevator was really crowded, and there were other people coming down from this floor at the same time. Yu Jing was squeezed and her center of gravity was unsteady. She bumped into Cao Mo's back unexpectedly, and she put her hand on Cao Mo's shoulder to regain her footing.

My chest felt a little painful from being squeezed.

She was a little embarrassed, and before Cheng Xi and Chen Chang could reply, she waved her delicate little hands, shouted "Bye", pushed Cao Mo out a little, and got off the elevator directly.

After a few people got off, the elevator became more relaxed.

Cao Mo didn't think much about it and moved to stand in the corner, holding his chin while thinking about an excuse.

There were many colleagues from the industry in the elevator. Cheng Xi didn't want to be too intimate with Cao Mo just now. Now he put his chin on Cao Mo's shoulder and asked, "Why are you smiling so weirdly? Is it just now?"

Are you still thinking about taking advantage of Yu Jing?"

"ah!?"

Cao Mo thought that no one cared about Yu Jing's chest hitting his back just now. He was too embarrassed to think about it, so he answered Cheng Xi sternly,

"What are you thinking? What advantage did I take of her just now? I'm still thinking about Lu Jianchao and Lu Jiancheng brothers. Now they went to Xinhai United Bank to find Li Xiaodong and beg him to save Taihua for the last time - you

At this time, wouldn’t it be particularly satisfying if I walked into Li Xiaodong’s office and watched this scene?”

"Can you have some noble pursuits in life?" Cheng Xi glanced at Cao Mo and said coquettishly.

"To add insult to injury and beat up a drowned dog, these are all the fun that one should pursue in life. Otherwise, why should I join in the fun?" Cao Mo joked.

The elevator continued to rise and stopped at the floor of the International Department of Xinhai United Bank. Several people stepped out of the elevator at this time, but they all turned back to look at Cao Mo curiously.

As a regional joint-stock commercial bank, Xinhai United Bank is not comparable to the four major commercial banks, but any major department is overcrowded.

However, even in the headquarters of Xinhai United Bank, where there are many beauties, Cheng Xi looks very eye-catching. How could she not attract the attention of others when seeing her standing intimately with a strange young man in the elevator?

"You go directly to Li Xiaodong. His office is on the 32nd floor. I won't accompany you there."

Although Li Xiaodong, Lin Yunshan, Zhou Bin and other senior executives of Xinhai United Bank knew about her relationship with Cao Mo and were usually very polite to her, Cheng Xi did not want to attract too much special attention among ordinary colleagues; she would now

I just wanted to say goodbye to Cao Mo directly.

"It's too blunt for us to just rush in and watch the fun - how can we do something so unskilled? Chen Chang and I will go to your desk and sit down first. If we happen to meet Chen Tianxin or Zhou Bin, we will

They accompanied me to find Li Xiaodong to watch the fun, so it's only natural!" Cao Mo shamelessly followed Cheng Xi out of the elevator and walked to the floor gate inside Xinhai Lianxing Bank.

"Didn't you just talk about the acquisition? We have to keep it strictly confidential at the moment. Are you afraid of appearing too malicious if you just force yourself into it?" Cheng Xi took out his work card from his bag and took Cao Mo and Chen Chang through the turnstile together.

, there was no outsider around at this time, so he asked curiously.

At this moment, a colleague passed by. Cheng Xi stopped the person and asked, "Where are the others, Minister Chen?"

Cheng Xi didn't want to bring Cao Mo to her workstation and attract onlookers, so she wanted to find Chen Tianxin, the deputy director of the International Department, and ask Chen Tianxin to take Cao Mo and Chen Chang directly to Li Xiaodong's office.

"Minister Chen and the others just entered the conference room - who are they? Do they have anything to do with Minister Chen?"

People who work in bank headquarters are born with a superior psychological advantage.

The man who was stopped by Cheng Xi looked at Cao Mo and Chen Chang with vigilant and scrutinizing eyes. He thought it was some kind of client who wanted to see Chen Tianxin and asked curiously.

"Oh, they want to see Minister Chen, so I'll bring them in. I don't know what's going on with them," Cheng Xi didn't bother to explain too much, so he perused the man and took Cao Mo and Chen Chang directly to receive customers.

He sat down in the VIP room and asked, "You haven't answered my question yet!"

"In addition to being able to watch every move of the Lu brothers from close range, this opportunity is not to be missed; also, I just want to show my bad intentions!" Cao Mo looked at the reception room of Xinlian Bank. The leather sofa with fine leather seemed to be

It was quite high-end, so he sat down and talked to Cheng Xi.

Although the Lu brothers have become lost dogs, and several merger and acquisition funds have jointly set up to compete for the control of Taihua Group. The main opponents are Han Shaorong and Huamao Capital, but this does not mean that they can ignore the movements of the Lu brothers.

In fact, even if many of the debts owed by the Lu family defaulted one after another, and the property rights and control of the collateral and assets gradually fell into the control of the creditors, the creditors would still be happy as long as the Lu brothers could repay these debts.

Continuation of the previous lending agreement - not to mention, there are still some outstanding debts, theoretically no default has occurred, and control of the mortgage assets has not been transferred.

No one is really willing to go through the trouble of dealing with collateral and assets whose valuations will be severely discounted.

The claims formed by supplying goods or contracting construction are more complicated to deal with.

Whenever possible, even if part of the debt is forgiven, creditors would definitely be more willing to get cash directly from the Lu brothers.

The management of Taihua Group are all direct relatives supported by the Lu family brothers.

If the Lu brothers are not willing to cooperate, even if another family obtains a controlling stake in Taihua Group, it will not be easy to rectify the management and restore the group's operations to normal.

Although they are still hiding under the water, at least until several companies formally sign the agreement, they cannot directly reveal their acquisition intentions. However, he unexpectedly met the Lu family brothers at this time, and with ill intentions, he stimulated them to seize the Thai throne for Han Shaorong.

Isn’t it natural that Hua Group’s controlling stake creates more obstacles?

"By the way, when Lu Jiancheng said what he said to you in front of the tower just now, was he also considering that you had a deep grudge with Han Shaorong and wanted to stimulate you to come in and interfere?" Chen Chang usually interacts with Cheng Xi, Yu Jing and the others.

Together, I have had a lot of contact with Cao Mo. In the past few days, I have taken over the tasks assigned by Ge Jun. I have concentrated my time on studying the complex creditor-rights relationships involved in Taihua Group and New Taihua Holdings. At this time, I can vaguely guess that Lu

Complete the purpose of what he said to Cao Mo in front of the tower just now.

"The enemy of my enemy is my friend. This is often an unbreakable truth!" Cao Mo said with emotion.

Cao Mo was not a hateful person.

If it weren't for Zhou Han, he might not have considered letting the Lu brothers go, or giving them something left in the end - after all, that would maximize Tianyue's interests, and even if they were left to contain them, it would be better to target Han Shaorong.

Kill them completely.

However, now, naturally the Lu family that is completely dead is the best Lu family.

"Manager Xiaocheng, are these the guests who are looking for Vice Minister Chen?" A middle-aged woman wearing a professional suit with a somewhat bloated figure opened the door of the reception room, her scrutinizing eyes hidden behind thick black-rimmed glasses.

, first glanced at Cao Mo and Chen Chang, and asked Cheng Xi, "What do they want to see Minister Chen for?"

"..." Seeing that Cheng Xi was at a loss in front of the middle-aged woman with a mean face and a somewhat aggressive attitude, Cao Mo stood up slightly and answered the middle-aged woman's question, "We actually want to find Mr. Li Xiaodong."

.”

"If you are looking for President Li, you can directly contact the President's office on the 32nd floor!"

It was a bit strange that Cao Mo came to see Chen Tianxin first when he was looking for Li Xiaodong, but the middle-aged woman guessed that they might be acquainted with Chen Tianxin and wanted to be introduced to Li Xiaodong through Chen Tianxin to talk about something. She didn't ask any more questions, but asked Cheng Xi sarcastically,

"Xiao Zhou has informed Vice Minister Chen. Vice Minister Chen will come over after the meeting. Don't get in front of Vice Minister Chen's guests again. Minister Gu just asked you for the report you made last week! Have you finished it?

?”

Cheng Xi was not as flamboyant as Chen Chang. Although he didn't want to pay much attention to the woman, he responded perfunctorily.

Seeing that Cheng Xi didn't move, the middle-aged woman walked away unhappy.

Cheng Xi stretched out his hand to pinch Cao Mo and said angrily: "I told you to go directly to the 32nd floor to find Li Xiaodong!"

"Who is this person? How can he still make you angry at Xinlian Bank?" Cao Mo asked curiously.

"She is Wang Chaoyong's aunt. She has just been transferred from the branch below to the International Department as the deputy director of the office - in the International Department, she is the one who dislikes me the most now." Cheng Xi turned around and glanced at the door, which was tightly closed.

How dare you speak ill of that person.

"ah!"

Since there was absolutely no pleasant class reunion a few years ago, Cao Mo thought that he would never have anything to do with people like Wang Chaoyong from now on, but sometimes the world is such a small place.

In other words, even in Xinhai, which has a population of more than 20 million, the social circle of the middle and upper classes is relatively narrow.

He remembered that Wang Chaoyong only had one uncle, and he was a promising director in Qingshan District.

Aunt Wang Chaoyong is supported by her husband, the director, and Cheng Xi has mercilessly rejected Wang Chaoyong's passionate pursuit before, so it's no wonder she dislikes her. In the eyes of Aunt Wang Chaoyong, Cheng Xi's "superior" family background can only be regarded as

Can it be considered “ordinary”?

…………

…………

After a while, Aunt Wang Chaoyong and Chen Tianxin opened the door again.

She opened the door and saw Cheng Xi still sitting inside. There was a trace of anger in her wrinkled eyebrows. It was obvious that she thought Cheng Xi was deliberately trying to get angry with her and challenge her authority, so she deliberately did not return to her own.

Go to work.

She didn't care about being in front of Chen Tianxin and strange customers, and asked sternly and almost hysterically: "Xiaocheng, why are you still waiting in front of Minister Chen's customers? Don't you have any work to complete? Let outsiders see,

Or do you think that all the girls in Xinlian are so frivolous that they can’t even move their legs when they see a boy? What’s that like?”

"Ahem, Director Zhang, please pay attention to your words. Do you speak like this?"

Many employees at the headquarters have connections with unusual backgrounds. Whether these people are fighting openly or secretly or being jealous, Chen Tianxin will pretend to be deaf and dumb. At this time, he can't cover his ears and run away, so he can only calm down a little.

, "openly" stopped Zhang Juan from saying even more unpleasant things in front of Cao Mo.

"..." Seeing that Chen Tianxin, who usually pretended to be a good guy and was full of scheming, actually scolded her today, Zhang Juan wanted to act rude but was worried that Chen Tianxin was the deputy minister. Her face turned red and she was a little at a loss.

"Director Zhang is inexplicably stern. Did he see that I couldn't move my feet, and did he deliberately attract my attention like this? It's a pity that I like young and beautiful ladies. Director Zhang, at your age, the pink on your face
