Chapter 256: Trying to turn back? Haha

'President Luo, you go back first, I'll escort President Lin here.'

At the entrance to the Nanhu Hotel, Zhou Ming said this and bid farewell to Luo Han. Luo Han looked at the backs of Zhou Ming and Lin Muqing as they got into the car. He had actually long since seen that there might be some kind of relationship between them, and Luo Han had just cleverly chosen to pretend not to know.

At most, Luo Han would occasionally think about it in private. Consultant Zhou is worthy of the name Consultant Zhou. He already has a beautiful and intelligent woman like Su Han by his side, and he is also able to win the favour of Lin Dong from Gangcheng. I just don't know if Lin Dong knows about the relationship between Su Han and Consultant Zhou. I think with Lin Dong's intelligence, he definitely knows. Then, since he knows, can he still accept it? Consultant Zhou is really happy. This is what being a man is all about!

Lohan didn't know that, but in fact, he had the same thoughts as Dai Tingwei over there. Even as the general manager of Siming Investment Company, he knew Lin Muqing much better than Lohan. He knew very well how deeply in love Lin Muqing was with Zhou Ming, to the extent that she would unconditionally agree to whatever Zhou Ming asked for, both in Hangzhou City and now in Nanjiang.

Fortunately, Zhou Ming did not let Lin Muqing and Gangcheng Company suffer to satisfy his personal desires, otherwise he would really risk the name of traitor and go beyond Lin Muqing to appeal to the board of directors to restrict Lin Muqing's power.

Zhou Ming and Lin Muqing got into the car, and Lin Muqing hugged Zhou Ming and bit him hard on the shoulder and said, 'Zhou Ming, you really are an asshole!'

Zhou Ming gasped, because Lin Muqing's bite was really fierce, but Zhou Ming didn't blame her. Zhou Ming understood that this was an expression of her true feelings. In fact, just now in the hotel box, he had already felt her thoughts on him, but she had only restrained herself because Luo Han was there. Now that they were in the car, of course she couldn't help but act on her feelings, but of course, because of the driver and bodyguards in front of them, she didn't make any big movements.

She wanted to think about herself, but due to the presence of Su Han, and the fact that she had been a fool the last time, she hated herself, so she took a bite as soon as she got in the car.

'Sister Muqing, I'm just an asshole, if you want to vent your anger, take a few more bites,' Zhou Ming said.

After listening to Zhou Ming's words, Lin Muqing swung her pink fists and hit Zhou Ming twice, mumbling, 'Idiot!'

Zhou Ming didn't know how to respond. Even though he had been reborn twice, he was still very inexperienced when it came to women. Lin Muqing also loved and hated Zhou Ming in this way. She hated that Zhou Ming was dull and didn't know how to please her, and she loved that Zhou Ming was dull and wasn't some kind of playboy.

'Zhou Ming, are you and Xiaohan...'

Lin Muqing's words stopped here, not knowing how to ask further, because some things were obvious. She had not yet asked her question, but already had the answer in her heart. And she could not blame Zhou Ming for this. After all, they had known each other for a long time. When she and Zhou Ming were in Gangcheng, they had also been a little too reserved. There had been several clear opportunities, and she knew that Zhou Ming wanted to do something.

'Lin Muqing, I'm sorry, I...'

Zhou Ming wanted to apologise to Lin Muqing, but when the words reached his lips, he couldn't say anything, because he didn't understand the female heart, and he didn't know where to apologise from, so his words ended there.

This made Lin Muqing so angry that she regretted very much that when she bit him just now, she didn't really bite a piece of flesh off him. This guy is so infuriating!

Pride and reserve are indeed a breeding ground for misunderstandings. Could it be that she is about to miss out on such an outstanding man?

Lin Muqing looked at Zhou Ming's determined face and firmly made up her mind: No! Although she doesn't expect anything grand or passionate, she at least can't miss out on the right person. Besides, he is not married, he still has a choice, and she doesn't have any moral burden, does she?

'There's nothing to be sorry about, Zhou Ming. You haven't done anything wrong. It's just our fate that's wrong.'

After Lin Muqing finished speaking, she suddenly looked at Zhou Ming intently. Zhou Ming was taken aback and didn't understand what Lin Muqing was going to do. He was as nervous as a criminal, waiting for Lin Muqing's verdict.

But Lin Muqing stopped here, as if hesitating about something. After a long time, she said, 'Zhou Ming, just remember one thing: no matter what happens, I will always stand firmly by your side. If you encounter any difficulties, I will help you unconditionally.'

Zhou Ming looked at Lin Muqing and did not reply right away. Although Zhou Ming did not really understand women's hearts, at this moment he could understand the true meaning behind Lin Muqing's words.

So Zhou Ming smiled and looked at Lin Muqing. Lin Muqing seemed to have anticipated something, her eyes suddenly avoiding Zhou Ming's, afraid to look into his. Finally, Zhou Ming took Lin Muqing's hand and said to her, 'Muqing, of course I believe in you, so you should also believe in yourself and in me.'

Lin Muqing nodded blankly, her heartbeat quickening. Two flushes rose to her pretty face. At that moment, she was not a strong businesswoman from Hong Kong, but just a little woman who had fallen for a man's poison.

After driving around for a while, Zhou Ming took Lin Muqing back to the hotel, which was actually the Nanhu Hotel, back to square one. This was inconvenient for them to do something, and secondly, Luo Han had sent a very urgent page.

'Lin Dong, you go back to your room and rest first. If anything happens, I'll call you again.'

Zhou Ming got out of the car and said to Lin Muqing at the entrance of the Nanhu Hotel. Lin Muqing nodded and smiled, saying okay, and then went straight upstairs. Only then did Zhou Ming ask Luo Han, 'What important news did you receive that made you so anxious to find me?'

'Important news, of course there is very important news,'

Luo Han replied to Zhou Ming with a feeling of being awakened from a dream. He did just come back to his senses because just now Lin Muqing glanced at him before leaving. Luo Han could tell from that glance that she was full of resentment. Luo Han knew that he had probably interrupted their good deed. If possible, I'm afraid Lin Muqing would like to tear himself apart, but there was nothing I could do about it!

'Consultant Zhou, just now, as soon as you left here, I saw Li Dong and Wang Dong from Binhai come together to the Nanhu Hotel,' Luo Han blurted out the news in one breath.

Zhou Ming raised an eyebrow, obviously a bit surprised by the news. Luo Han was very worried: 'Consultant Zhou, you said they are meeting at the Nanhu Hotel now, do you think they...'

Luo Han didn't finish his sentence, but the meaning of what he was about to say was very clear. Zhou Ming finished his sentence for him: 'It would be very strange if they didn't exchange opinions on the stock market after they finally met. It seems that these Binhai bosses are not stupid, and our plan doesn't seem so simple anymore!'

Zhou Ming's tone was very relaxed, but Luo Han became even more nervous when he heard Zhou Ming confirm it: 'It's over, over. If they communicate with each other and discuss it, and continue to maintain the stability of the stock market, then ordinary investors may really be confused and jump in. By then, if they want to find other ways to withdraw, this mess will be back in our hands!'

Then Luo Han said to Zhou Ming, 'Consultant Zhou, why don't we discuss it with Lin Dong and see if she can save the market again?'

Compared to Luo Han's nervousness, Zhou Ming was very calm: 'There is no rush to do this yet. After all, I am a businessman, and rescuing the market at a loss is not what I want.'

Zhou Ming looked up at the tall Nanhu Hotel and continued: 'Right now they are just gathering together, and they may not necessarily unite. Even if they can unite, they may not be able to perform the script that will let me rescue the market at a loss. And I haven't even exerted myself yet, and they want to turn it around? Haha!'

...

Meanwhile, in the luxurious private dining room of the Nanhu Hotel, Li Dong and Wang Dong were sitting with several other entrepreneurs from Binhai. Despite the fact that the table was already full of exquisite dishes, no one had touched a single chopstick. Everyone was thinking about their own things, making the atmosphere in the room a little tense.

As the leader of all the entrepreneurs in Binhai, Li Dong sat in the seat of honour, spinning the glass in front of him as he blinked his eyes, clearly thinking about something.

After a while, Li Dong finally looked up and said, 'Okay, since we're all sitting here, no matter who invited whom to dinner or what was said, let's not talk about it anymore. Our immediate goal is to get out of the Nanjiang stock market, and the first step is to unite.'

If Zhou Ming were here, he would definitely praise Li Dong for this. Because after listening to Zhou Ming's words, he did not lose his composure and went back to withdraw his investment regardless. Instead, he was the first to find Wang Dong and the others who had dinner with Zhou Ming and get them together. Now he has directly skipped the fact that they negotiated with Zhou Ming in private and just said that they need to stand on the same line.

Such a statement will make people feel that he is very generous and will believe him without thinking. On the contrary, if he scolds someone as soon as he enters, I'm afraid he will lose everyone's trust.

After Li Dong finished speaking, he looked around and saw that the muscles on Wang Dong's face were indeed less tense and serious. Li Dong then continued, 'Zhou Ming is a very powerful figure. We underestimated him before. Now that we are in this situation, I must take the lead and say I'm sorry.'

As he said this, Li Dong was about to stand up and bow to Wang Dong, but Wang Dong immediately stood up and stopped him, saying, 'Li Dong, you mustn't do that. In fact, we all have a great deal of responsibility, and we should be the ones to say sorry.'

Li Dong did not dwell on the issue, but decisively waved his hand and said, 'In that case, let's not talk about it anymore, but rather talk about the current situation.'

Li Dong then waved his hand for everyone to sit down. He said, 'Everyone, Zhou Ming's current goal is to cause us to panic, because if we panic and compete with each other to sell our stocks, causing the stock market to crash, then we will really be stuck in the stock market.'

'Then we must do the opposite to break the deadlock now. We must work hard to continue stabilising the stock market, spread more good news on the stock exchange, and get more retail investors to follow suit. When the time is right, we'll find a way to get out and sell, and return this mess to Zhou Ming,' said Li Dong.

Wang Dong applauded and said, 'Li Dong is absolutely right. That Zhou Ming is so devious. We almost fell for it. Luckily, you're here, Li Dong, so we'll do as you say!'

Wang Dong said he supported the idea, but in reality, he was a little worried.
