Chapter 63: Four Directions Energy Corporation

  When I woke up, I found that my body was covered with a thick blanket, and the air conditioner in the living room was still running. The whole living room was warm. Although I was still on the sofa, I didn't feel cold at all.

  I woke up and found myself sleeping here, so I lifted the quilt, put on a pair of shoes that someone had helped me take off, and got ready to wash up.

  At this time, I heard someone laughing on the stairs and saying: "Are you awake? You fell asleep last night. We were afraid of startling you, so we arranged for you to sleep in the living room. How was it, did you sleep well?"

  I nodded and looked at Zhou Hui who was speaking, saying: "Sister Hui, good morning. How's your sister doing?"

  "It's nothing serious, the kidnappers didn't rough her up and she wasn't scared. She was just hungry for several days and ate a bit too much last night, so she's feeling a bit uncomfortable now. She tossed and turned all night before falling asleep and still hasn't gotten out of bed yet."

  I took a glance at the time: "It's still early, no need to rush getting out of bed."

  Zhou Hui walked to my side, looked at me and said: "Thank you for helping me rescue my sister, Jin Cang. I...I don't know what to say, anyway, you are my friend, so I won't say more..."

  "I smiled and said: 'That's natural, we're friends, so don't be polite.'"

  Zhou Hui nodded: "I'll go make breakfast, you come over to eat after washing your face. Also, the clothes on you should be changed, I've prepared them and put them in the room where you stayed last time, go change into them yourself."

  I was deeply moved and said "thank you" before running quickly up the stairs.

  The clothes were all new and fit well, apparently Zhou Hui had deliberately sold them to me. After I washed and dressed, I felt much lighter and went downstairs in big strides, ready to have breakfast.

  At this time, Li Huanhuan and Dongfang Yu also got up. They had to get up early because they had classes. I waited for them for a while before starting breakfast. During this time, Bai Feng still hadn't gotten up, probably because she hadn't rested well after being kidnapped, so she needed to make up for lost sleep.

  Zhou Hui didn't come over until we had almost finished eating, she was busy the whole time. I couldn't help but say: "Sister Hui, eat first and then go back to work, you don't even have time to eat during meals, do you?"

  Zhou Hui smiled and said, "I'm not coming now? Right, Jin Cang, about the investment in my mom's new energy company that you guys mentioned last time, my mom called this morning and asked you to go to the company this afternoon to discuss cooperation matters."

  I hadn't even spoken yet, but Li Huanhuan was already overjoyed: "That's great, your mom is finally willing to cooperate with us? We're going to make some money, haha..."

  I took a look at Li Huanhuan's joyful face and couldn't help but say, "You haven't even gone to discuss it yet, how do you know Sister Hui's mother will definitely agree to cooperate with us? Don't get too excited too early, if it doesn't work out later, you won't be able to take the blow!"

  Li Huanhuan snorted: "Do you know what? If Huier's mother didn't agree to cooperate with us, why would she ask you to go to her company to talk? You're just a fool, can't even figure that out!"

  I forced a smile and said: "Huan Huan Jie, can't you stop saying that about me? I'm really losing face..."

  "Dongfang Yu also said: 'Huan Huan sister, don't say that about my brother, others will laugh at him if they know.'"

  Li Huanhuan, however, paid no attention to us and pulled me along as we walked out. As we walked, she said, "We're leaving now, it's better to arrive early to show our sincerity. Yu'er, please excuse us from class today."

  Zhou Hui hastily stopped Li Huanhuan: "Don't be in a hurry, I'll go with you later. You've never been to my mom's company, do you know where it is?"

  Li Huanhuan smiled and turned around to hug Zhou Hui, saying intimately: "Hui'er, you hurry up and eat, after finishing we'll set off. If we're late, your mom will think we're not sincere."

  Zhou Hui looked at Li Huanhuan and smiled, hastily finishing breakfast, then was pulled out the door by Li Huanhuan, rushing to Zhou Hui's mother's company.

  Zhou Hui's mother, Zhong Ping, is a well-known entrepreneur. We have wanted to meet her for a long time, but never had the opportunity until now. This time we finally had the chance, so before setting out, we did some preparatory work.

  When we arrived outside the company, Zhou Hui pointed to the huge sign above the company gate and said: "My mom's new energy company is called Sifang Energy Company. Remember it, in case someone asks you later and you don't know."

  I nodded in unison with Li Huanhuan, secretly remembering the name. As I looked out of the car window, I saw a huge company occupying a vast area right in front of me. The magnificent office building, spacious workshop, and various mechanical equipment that I had never seen before left me somewhat dazed. I wasn't unfamiliar with large-scale companies and workshops, but I really hadn't seen such a massive one before.

  As I entered the Four Square Energy Company, I immediately saw a very beautiful lady waiting for us in the company's courtyard.

  "This is my mom's secretary, surname Lü, Miss Lü Qing. You may have more contact in the future, let's get to know each other first."

  Li Huan and I hastily introduced ourselves, then followed Lv Qing directly to the office of Zhou Hui's mother, Zhong Ping.

  It's inevitable to exchange pleasantries when meeting, so at first neither of us mentioned anything about cooperation with Zhong Ping. It wasn't until Zhou Hui spoke up and said: "Mom, the reason Li Huanhuan is here is to discuss cooperation with you, why don't we get the draft contract from the company for them to take a look?"

  Zhong Ping smiled and said, "Alright, take a look at the contract first." Zhong Ping looked very young, not at all like someone who had a daughter in her twenties. There was an air of confidence between her eyebrows that moved me, perhaps it was related to her being a successful person.

  The contract was drafted by the emerging energy company, which detailed our rights and obligations and made very clear provisions for the benefits we are about to receive - according to asset allocation benefits, absolutely fair practices.

  After Li Huan and I watched it, we thought it was okay, so we signed a contract with Zhong Ping on the spot and transferred our first investment of 3 million to Zhong Ping's company.

  We were all delighted to get the contract, and Zhong Ping also suggested that everyone have a meal together, which was a symbol of the formal start of our cooperation. So we chose a nearby hotel, booked a private room, and had lunch with Zhong Ping and Lü Qín.

  We were all very happy during the dinner, chatting about family and future plans, etc. Anyway, I think it's a correct choice to cooperate with Zhong Ping.

  After dinner, I said goodbye to Zhong Ping with Li Huanhuan and Zhou Hui, preparing to return to school or go home. On the bus, Li Huanhuan and Zhou Hui were still discussing the second phase of investment, while I was looking at a message I had just received on my phone, feeling somewhat embarrassed.

  The information was sent by Teacher Li Zheng, he originally planned to come over the next few days to discuss the matter of liaison between the two schools with me, but something unexpected happened and he couldn't make it, so he wants me to go to Yihua University to talk to him.

  I've been quite busy lately, so I feel a bit troubled. This is my first time contacting Hanyang University about the alumni gathering, and I couldn't possibly turn down Teacher Li Zheng's face, so I decided to go to Hanyang University after all.

  I replied to Teacher Li Zheng's message, and then I said to Li Huanhuan: "I'm going to Yihua University tomorrow. If there's anything from Sifang Energy Company in the next few days, you'll be in charge of handling it."

  Li Huanhuan nodded: "With me and Hui'er here, you can rest assured."

  "The company's business won't require you to do anything, everything will be handled by my mom, so don't worry."

  I nodded and then called Principal Min of the school to explain things, after which I heard Principal Min say: "Then go to Yihua University. This time, the joint party between the two schools has been prepared for a long time before it was proposed, and it must be done smoothly. Jin Cang, you will go with Secretary Zhou of the principal's office and Director Zou of the logistics department tomorrow. Be sure to discuss all relevant matters and don't leave any uncertain factors, so as not to have accidents later."

  I thought of the head of the personnel department, Director Zou, who is very old and doesn't take care of things much anymore. This time going with him, I wonder if... So I directly said to Principal Min: "This... Director Zou is old, long-distance travel, won't it be unsuitable?"

  Principal Min thought for a moment: "Then you and Sun Xiao Yi, Secretary Sun, plus Wang Hua Ming, the three of you go to Yihua University together. Secretary Sun is the full representative of Principal Zhou, if there's anything uncertain, just ask her."

  I agreed and hung up the phone. At this time, we were also close to school, I remembered that the safety group still had things to do, so I got off early and rushed to the library.

  Wang Huaming happened to be in the library as well, so I told him about tomorrow's matter and considered it a formal notification.

  Wang Huaming did not decline, and directly agreed. Du Yifei, however, had some opinions: "Why didn't you let me go to Yi Hua University? I've been there several times before, it's very familiar, I can be your guide."

  I laughed: "Among the three of us, except for me, no one has never been to Yihua University."

  Du Yifei said with a huff: "Exactly! You haven't been there, yet you're telling me to go. I've already gone, why can't I also go? The school leaders are biased."

  I was taken aback, and then I heard Wang Huaming laugh and say: "The liaison officer between Jin Cang Shi Men School and Yi Hua University can't not go. Secretary Sun represents Principal Zhou, so he can't not go either. As for me, I might have been added temporarily, after all, it wouldn't be suitable for just Jin Cang and Secretary Sun to go."

  Du Yifei hastily said: "Just say it, you want me to go, why not let me go? I'll find the principal and ask him, what reason is there for not letting me go? I'm still Jin Cang's assistant!"

  I remembered Principal Zhou mentioning the connection with Yi Hua University, and Du Yifei was my assistant: "Then go talk to Principal Min, at worst you can also go together."

  Du Yifei hastily walked away, it seems that Principal Min would not give her an explanation was not going to work.

  Wang Huaming also had something to attend to, and just as I was about to sit down and rest for a while, Li Huanhuan's phone call came: "Jin Cang, Secretary Lü from Sifang Energy Company just called and said that there will be a shareholders' meeting at the company tomorrow and you need to attend."

  I was embarrassed and thought for a moment before saying: "You go attend, I have to go to Yihua University tomorrow, there's not enough time."

  Li Huanhuan responded with a tone of resentment, "It's not like it's a big deal, why do you need to go and talk to them? Their school may be better than ours, but that doesn't mean they can bully us."

  I laughed: "Don't talk nonsense. The teacher from Yi Hua University who is in charge of contacting us happens to have something else on, so we had no choice but to go over and discuss it."

  Li Huanhuan muttered "Can't we talk about it on the phone?" and then hung up.
