Chapter 371 Almost Met
Chapter 371 Almost Met
The mother and daughter came to the restaurant. Lu Ruoxing was fiddling with the newly acquired puppy toy on the table, while Ning Xi sorted out all the information she had just obtained, although she didn't gain much.
Demolition is a government project and is very likely to be reported in local newspapers. As long as you find the corresponding journal, you may be able to get some clues.
"Mom, it's time to eat."
The childish call brought her back to her senses. Lu Ruoxing put a large piece of meat in her bowl and said, "Mom, you have worked hard. Mom, eat first."
Looking at the child's sensible appearance, Ning Xi felt that all her hard work was worth it, and she couldn't help but reach out and touch her head.
"Ruoxing, be good. Mom will definitely find a doctor to treat you and let you return to school as soon as possible and play with other children."
On the same commercial street, Li Mingyou was driving with one hand and talking on the phone with the other.
"Send the last file back after you have revised it. Don't bring bad luck to your boss. Okay, I'm waiting for the red light here. I won't talk to you anymore."
After hanging up the call, he looked out the car window at the restaurant and let out a long sigh.
The president is abnormally enthusiastic about his work now, as if after Miss Ning disappeared, the only thing he is still interested in is his career.
The requirements for projects are becoming more and more stringent, and they are doubly careful in their work.
Could it be that only if Miss Ning comes back to life can these days come to an end?
The red light turned green and the car continued to drive forward for a few minutes. Li Mingyou suddenly stopped and then reacted belatedly.
No, that shadowy figure in the restaurant just now, why does it look so much like...
When he turned around and drove back to look, the person sitting in the seat had changed to a tall and thin girl.
Although she is also very young, how can she be Ning Xi?
Li Mingyou couldn't help shaking his head. He felt that he had been infected by his boss recently and became a little crazy.
How could someone who had already fallen into the sea appear here?
……
Beihai New City is bustling with people and is much more prosperous than Nanyu Street.
Ning Xi was not in a hurry. She took Lu Ruoxing to experience the local customs and culture while slowly asking around.
During this period, Lu Xiu sent her messages from time to time, asking her to stay in the hotel.
Ning Xi only replied: "I know my limits."
In the International Building not far away, a negotiation has come to an end.
Gu Huaijing took the tea handed to him by his assistant and took a sip, looking confident of victory.
The fact was indeed as he expected.
Being able to cooperate with Gu's is an opportunity that cannot be obtained even if you ask for it. After reading the contract, the representative on the other side immediately said: "We will do as you say. Mr. Gu, we are willing to give up 20% more profit. Can you give us priority in the next round of cooperation?"
Money is a small matter; climbing up the big tree of Gu family is the most important thing.
Gu Huaijing seemed to have guessed that he would make this request, and said directly: "I don't need your concessions."
The representative was stunned: "Then, what can we do for Gu's?"
Just waiting for this sentence.
Gu Huaijing put down his cup and after being in the meeting room for so long, he finally showed a serious look.
When we were discussing business just now, he was calm and composed, as if nothing could get out of his control.
"I heard that your company has developed the latest underwater temperature-sensing search equipment. I want you to sell this batch of goods to me."
"Boss Gu, it's not that I'm stingy. Our company wants to apply for a patent for it. It's in the confidential stage and generally not for sale..."
There was also a hint of doubt in his eyes. Gu's had never been involved in this category before, so what could he do with it?
Li Mingyou, who was standing by, understood everything and couldn't help but secretly glance at Gu Huaijing again.
No wonder Mr. Gu came here specially to discuss face to face, it turns out he came for this search device.
Gu Huaijing knocked on the table and quickly handed over the remaining two agreements.
"This is the outline of the project's later stages. As long as you sell me the equipment, you will be responsible for all the subsequent works."
This sentence is more useful than any compliment. If they just show a little bit of Gu's resources and connections, it will be enough for them to live on for a lifetime!
The representative was overjoyed and signed the contract immediately: "Thank you, Mr. Gu, for your support. I will go back and give you the product for your review. If you have any quality issues, please feel free to contact me."
He thanked him profusely, but there was no extra expression on Gu Huaijing's face, only a barely perceptible hint of sadness flashed across his eyes.
Fame and fortune are not his highest pursuits. He just hopes that this batch of equipment can really find Ning Xi's trace.
Li Mingyou couldn't help but sigh as he listened. Ning Xi had been missing for almost two years, and Gu Huaijing was still willing to spend such a huge amount of money.
But he didn't say much, packed up his things and followed her downstairs.
As I walked out of the building, a frightened little girl came running towards me. She looked about four or five years old and was waving a paper bag in her hand from side to side.
"Don't chase me, don't chase me!"
She tripped over a stone under her feet and failed to brake immediately, and crashed into Gu Huaijing's arms.
Without waiting for his reaction, the girl grabbed his arm like a life-saving straw and begged for help in a childish voice: "Uncle, help me, there is a bad dog chasing me!"
Sure enough, a stray dog followed closely behind, barking at this side.
Gu Huaijing winked, and Li Mingyou immediately understood and stepped forward to scold him. The stray dog saw that there were so many people and ran away in shame with its tail between its legs.
The girl was still in shock. When she saw the stray dog completely disappear from her sight, she breathed a sigh of relief, but her hand was still subconsciously grabbing Gu Huaijing's sleeve.
Li Mingyou knew that Gu Huaijing didn't like being touched by strangers, so he stepped forward and said, "Little friend, let go of your hand first."
The girl then let go of her hand and tried to smooth out the wrinkled fabric: "I'm sorry, uncle, I was too scared..."
Gu Huaijing naturally wouldn't bother with the child, especially since she was so cute.
"Where are your parents?" Gu Huaijing raised his chin towards Li Mingyou, "Ask him to take you there."
The girl shook her head: "Don't bother, my mother is over there, very close, I can walk back by myself."
The little guy took out a cup of milk tea from the paper bag and handed it to Gu Huaijing: "Uncle, thank you for helping me, this cup of milk tea is for you."
Gu Huaijing said calmly: "Keep it for yourself."
"Don't you like milk tea?" The girl rummaged through her pockets and found that she didn't bring anything that could be used as a gift, so she said, "Uncle, then give me your phone number. I'll ask my mother to buy you something you like when I get home."
"No, go find your mother."
Seeing that she couldn't persuade him, the little girl had to wave goodbye obediently: "Okay, I'm leaving now. Goodbye, uncle."
"Ruoxing, Ruoxing——"
Not far away, Ning Xi was already searching anxiously.
