Chapter 2517: So Hard

When the airport staff could no longer be seen in the rearview mirror, the smile on Liu Jizhong's face faded.

Shen Xue was more careful. She took Liu Jizhong's hand and said, "Husband, let's go to Switzerland this time. You've been wearing this watch for a year, it's time to change it."

The car that took them to the hotel was provided by the airport, and the driver was also an employee of the airport.

"Okay," Liu Jizhong patted Shen Xue's hand. As a couple over the years, they naturally have such a tacit understanding. "It's the end of the year, let's take it as an advance on the airline's profit this year,"

"After visiting Paris, we will go to Switzerland and order two couple watches,"

The driver looked straight ahead, as if he didn't hear the conversation between the couple in the back seat at all.

After leading this performance, Shen Xue didn't say anything else. She happily leaned on her husband who closed his eyes and rested his mind, watching this international metropolis with a towering skyline getting closer and closer to her.

At the same time, she felt that something was leaving her body very clearly, getting farther and farther away. Perhaps there would never be a day when they would meet again.

She suddenly took out her sunglasses and put them on.

Shen Xue had imagined and planned a lot about this metropolis, which is one of the best in the country.

For someone like her who likes to live in the spotlight and has lived in the center of the spotlight for a period of time, she naturally feels that a first-tier city like this is the most suitable for her.

As for how to officially debut in this city, even a few months ago, she still had many difficult options to choose from.

But now, she finally doesn't have to worry about it anymore.

Although Liu Jizhong never let her worry about the company's affairs, and rarely talked about the difficulties encountered by the company at home and in front of her, although she has been obsessed with being a rich wife in the past two years and rarely asked about the specific situation of the company.

But at a certain time, some things can't be concealed after all.

And generally speaking, the end of the year is the peak period for these things.

She and Liu Jizhong are going to transfer here to Paris and go shopping in that famous shopping paradise during the Christmas shopping season.

In fact, they are going to avoid the limelight this time.

Liu Jishan repeatedly objected, but Liu Jizhong repeatedly insisted on the matter, which finally broke out completely at the end of the year.

Dongcheng Building, the largest real estate project of Dongcheng Group, has been in trouble for the past few months. Owners have found that there are other buyers who have paid for the houses they bought.

In the past few months, the owners who have encountered Dongcheng selling one house to multiple buyers have negotiated with Dongcheng many times, but they have never received a clear answer. Their anger has finally reached its peak. Therefore, at the beginning of the month, some owners have spontaneously gathered together to prepare to initiate a class action lawsuit and seek justice from the government.

To make matters worse, some owners who were lucky enough not to encounter the situation of selling one house to multiple buyers also found that they could not get the property rights certificate for their houses, because the houses they bought with money had actually been mortgaged to the bank by Dongcheng.

The owners who were severely cheated by Dongcheng had united last week and made a scene in front of Dongcheng Group.

But this is definitely not the last time, because they still haven't received a reassuring answer from Dongcheng.

So the couple went shopping in Paris this time, in fact, they also wanted to avoid the limelight.

For Liu Jizhong, who is no longer young, the experience of being blocked in the company and not daring to show his head is really enough once.

In order to prevent the Dongcheng Building incident from affecting the reputation of his boss Liu and the reputation of the airline, they had to spend a lot of money to control the negative news within the province.

In addition to the cooperation of some government departments - at the critical moment of the end of the year, they especially hope to present a good situation of stability and unity. In fact, these news have not been widely spread in the province.

But some people in the outside world still heard some rumors, so another purpose of Liu Jizhong and Shen Xue's trip to Europe this time, preparing to spend a lot of money, is to prove that they are not short of money.

The more money you have, the more you have to spend a lot of money. Although this sounds ridiculous, it is really not a joke.

Although Liu Jizhong told her that because of the end of the year, due to the influence of loan repayment and other reasons, the group encountered some difficulties in capital turnover, but these difficulties are only temporary and will soon pass.

However, Shen Xue knew that this time the estimate is not optimistic.

After all, she was once a pillar of the provincial TV station and had interviewed on the front line, so she was still somewhat sensitive to the news.

The general trend seemed to be getting worse and worse, and the bank's money supply was getting tighter and tighter. In addition, they had already offended the banks in the province, so it would be difficult to get financing from the banks in the future.

The only way out was to find other people to invest.

The easiest project for Dongcheng Group to attract investment was naturally Dongcheng Airlines, which made them celebrities.

But given her husband's emphasis on airlines and the particularity of the aviation industry, even if they found investment, it would take more than a day or two to get approval from relevant agencies.

By then, it was unknown whether distant water could save the nearby fire.

But why did the originally good situation completely reverse in such a short period of time, and it was very likely that it would not be able to turn the tables?

Shen Xue was quite puzzled and unwilling.

The car suddenly stopped at this time, and Liu Jizhong also opened his eyes, "What's going on?"

The driver looked ahead and listened, "The temporary restriction may be due to a distinguished guest passing by."

For airport staff, such scenes are not uncommon. It is also common for them to let the planes that should have landed line up in the sky, not to mention such a temporary road closure?

Sure enough, after a while, under the guidance of a police car, a convoy passed quickly from the intersection in front of them. The destination happened to be not far away, a construction site not far away.

The driver looked over there and thought for a while, "I roughly know who the person who just passed by is,"

"Who is it?" Shen Xue asked immediately after taking off her sunglasses and looking over there.

She had thought about using a similar way to make herself officially appear in this city.

"Over there is the hotel project supporting Terminal 2 of the airport under construction, Jiasheng Holiday Hotel,"

"Mr. Feng of Jiasheng just arrived today. He should be going to inspect the construction progress,"

When Feng Yiping was mentioned, the driver, who was originally serious, became a little excited.

"Feng Yi... Mr. Feng, he can't enjoy the treatment of police cars leading the way, right?" Liu Jizhong asked immediately.

So, among those business jets seen on the airport apron just now, one is Feng Yiping's Gulfstream?

The driver immediately answered his doubt perfectly, "Mr. Feng's trip in the city will naturally be accompanied by city leaders,"

This made Liu Jizhong even more unhappy.

This means that Feng Yiping must have come to the construction site of Jiasheng Holiday Hotel accompanied by the main leaders of the city.

As for himself, it was just a few airport staff who came out to receive him and then sent a car.

He closed his eyes again.

It was unnecessary to open them.

Neither Feng Yiping nor Jiasheng Holiday Hotel brought him any good memories.

Out of sight, out of mind.

The driver seemed to have opened up his mouth now, "Oh, Mr. Liu, Mrs. Liu, you should be familiar with Mr. Feng, you are from the same hometown,"

"Yes," Shen Xue said with a smile, "Ji Zhong and Mr. Feng are old friends, they have cooperated on a project before,"

What she didn't say was that it was Liu Ji Zhong who took the initiative to seek cooperation, but he was rejected without even meeting the real owner.

"No wonder Mr. Liu is so successful, it turns out that he has cooperated with Mr. Feng for a long time," the driver praised.

However, Liu Ji Zhong didn't feel good about this compliment. My success has nothing to do with Feng Yiping?

"Yiping originally wanted to invest in my airline," he really looked like he was very familiar with Feng Yiping, "but he knew we were not short of money at the moment, so he didn't force it,"

"You know, Yiping..."

"Yes," the driver seemed to be very familiar with Feng Yiping, "Mr. Feng never takes advantage of others when he cooperates with others,"

"Oh, sorry, I didn't mean anything else,"

"I understand, I understand," Liu Jizhong smiled while cursing in his heart, "We all know that Yiping is honest,"

Why am I talking nonsense like this, and I have to take the initiative to praise Feng Yiping now?

"Yes, we also admire Mr. Feng for this. Mr. Feng rarely competes with others. The more people do things together, the more money he makes, the less he gets involved, such as housing..."

Shen Xue in the back seat looked at him with a smile, and he quickly stopped talking. He was so excited that he forgot that the aviation upstart in the back seat made his fortune in real estate.

"Just take the Android launched by Mr. Feng's American company at the end of last month, and the mobile phone alliance he led to establish. What he did was what domestic companies could not do and no one wanted to do,"

"Yeah," Liu Jizhong nodded and closed his eyes again.

He really didn't want to continue praising Feng Yiping, it was too uncomfortable.

The driver, who was in the middle of talking, had to calm down.

However, as soon as he sent Liu Jizhong and his friends to the hotel by the Bund, he couldn't help but call someone, "I met Mr. Feng's motorcade on the road!"

Liu Jizhong looked across the river at this time and saw the Jiasheng Building, which was not too far from the Oriental Pearl Tower.

His waist collapsed a little.

In the alley next to him, some songs with a sense of the times floated over with the wind, "... the word love, so hard..."

The last three words hit his heart at once, and his heart kept repeating, "so hard", "so hard", "so hard"...

When he thought of the upcoming 2008, he felt even more bitter.

For no reason, he recalled a line from a movie he had seen before, "1997 has passed, and I miss it very much."

2007 has not even passed yet, but he already started to miss it.
