55. Our cooperation is a win-win situation
Xu Ran stopped what he was doing, slightly surprised, "How do you know it's me?"
"It's simple, and it's easy to guess. I straightened my back and smiled peacefully, "With Soho's life, she should disdain to do such despicable things behind her back, she prefers to be blatant, and she can be fatal when she shoots, and people can't turn over, this is her style." β
Xu Ran snorted coldly, "You know her quite well." β
"Miss Xu has lived abroad for many years, and I am afraid that she has forgotten a famous saying in China, knowing yourself and knowing your opponent can win all battles. β
"Now that the matter has come to this, don't you worry about grandeur? Your heart is so big, and the company you have worked so hard to run is about to be ruined, and you will have nothing. β
"Then what should I do?" I frowned, and then raised a bright smile in an instant, "There is no way, I am an ordinary person naturally can't compete with her, so I can only go with the flow and let her do what she wants." β
"Are you still waiting for Ziyan to help you? He has a tax problem in the company in Linshi, but he doesn't have the heart to help you, you still have to die of this heart." β
Xu Ran no longer wanted to pretend to be empathetic, and said angrily.
I asked her, "Don't you care about your future husband?"
"Hmph!" Xu Ran glared at me, "You don't need to care about this, he is Chen Dong's own son, and Chen Dong will never sit idly by." β
I said, "Well, that's the end of our conversation, and we don't have much to say." β
With that, I pulled out my chair and got up to leave.
"I can help you. β
"The condition is that I leave Chen Ziyan. β
I preemptively said the second half of her sentence.
Xu Ran smiled and shook her fingers, "No matter what method you use, let Tan Meng leave Chen Ziyan." β
"Why?"
"It's too boring to talk about dreams compared to you. Xu Ran took a sip of coffee with an elegant gesture, "In this comparison, I can accept you better." β
I didn't think about rejecting her directly, "This kind of annoying thing, Miss Xu should find someone else." β
I straightened the folds of my skirt and was about to leave with my bag in hand.
Xu Ran's voice came slowly, "Don't worry, come to me when you think about it, it's a win-win situation for us to cooperate." β
It seems that she doesn't know about Zou Jingyi's existence, she is also worried, and talking about dreams is not worth mentioning at all.
I stopped by the hospital to visit several people with food poisoning, but fortunately they were all mild and not too serious. They didn't welcome me, and I was bored with myself, but I kept the money to apologize.
It was already dark when I came out of the hospital, and I was tired and went to a blind massage parlor, and after the massage, I felt much more comfortable.
I came out of the store, and as soon as I went down two steps, I was blocked by Lei Hao, "Miss Li, Bai Dong is invited." β
I waved his arm away and said expressionlessly, "I'm sorry I have something to do tonight, I'll visit Bai Dong in person another day." β
After that, I have to go to the other end. Lei Hao grabbed my arm, didn't allow me to refuse, and pulled me into the car. His strength was too great, I couldn't resist, so he stuffed it into the back seat and drove all the way to Bai Liangshi's villa.
I rubbed my wrist and whispered that Lei Hao didn't pity the jade at all.
Bai Liangshi was waiting for me in the study, and a servant politely took me upstairs and brought me a plate of cut fruit.
He was sitting upright in a mahogany chair, carefully rubbing a jade bracelet, and when he saw me come in and put the bracelet aside, he motioned for me to sit across from him.
There was an unfathomable smile on the corner of his mouth, and he said after a while, "Your acting skills are really superb." β
I know his mind with just one word.
I said, "Okay." But there are still handles that have been grasped. It's so late, is there something wrong with Mr. Bai looking for me?"
"The most important thing for you at the moment is to learn how to fight back, of course, judging from Soho's means, you are afraid that you don't have any ability to fight back, she has set up a big game for you, and it can be regarded as painstaking. β
Bai Liangshi's words were loud, and they were in the same sentence.
I didn't go around the bush and asked him directly, "What is Mr. Bai's purpose?"
"Of course it's for you, I can buy Hongda, it's better than falling into Soho's hands. β
"Mr. Bai, no merit is not rewarded, my father told me this since I was a child, what do you want?"
Bai Liangshi laughed, "I don't want anything, just to help you." β
I didn't believe it at all, "What kind of kindness did Mr. Bai have?" To be honest, there is probably no cure for the grand grand to come to this point, and I don't want to waste my energy, let it fend for itself, if Soho wants a mess, just take it." β
Bai Liangshi took a sip of tea, "Is this your conspiracy again?"
I resisted the urge to roll my eyes, "You think too much, often calculate how tired people are, how much brain cells are consumed, I still like to be simple." β
Bai Liangshi stared at the jade bracelet on the table and didn't speak for a long time.
Seeing this, I got up and said to him, "In that case, then I will take my leave." It's late at night, and Mr. Bai is not very convenient. β
"Wait a minute, I'll take you to an interesting place, make sure you're interested. β
I looked back at him puzzled and asked, "What?"
Before he could speak, Lei Hao and a male servant entered the room, and the two carried me downstairs to get into the car, and a few minutes later, Bai Liangshi also got dressed and got into the car.
I couldn't afford to toss, "What do you mean?"
Bai Liangshi made a silent gesture, "Be quiet." β
I didn't say anything more. At first, I was still on high alert, but I was too tired to fall asleep unconsciously, and when I woke up, the car was driving on the telling road, and the night of speeding away flashed by, and suddenly the word "Linshi" appeared on the street sign, and I looked at him in astonishment, "You take me to find Chen Ziyan." β
The tone was full of affirmation.
Bai Liangshi didn't answer, stared intently at the tablet in his hand, the curved curve, like a stock, I glanced at it, and just saw Changkang Group, their stock price was quite stable, and there was basically no fluctuation.
At three o'clock in the morning, we checked into a star-rated hotel, Bai Liangshi opened a separate room for me, and I took a shower and fell asleep. After waking up in the morning, a customer service brought a new suit, I looked at the brand, such a price of clothes, usually I am reluctant to buy at all.
I got dressed and went out, Lei Hao took me to the restaurant at the elevator, and after breakfast, Bai Liangshi took me to a tourist attraction to play. We went back to the hotel at six o'clock, and he got a make-up artist to dress me up and get me a wig.
I looked at the pretty and charming woman in the mirror and complimented the makeup artist for being a miracle.
At half past eight, Bai Liangshi took me to a high-end club in Linshi, and someone mentioned Chen Ziyan's name, and after a while, I saw him wearing sunglasses and carrying Zou Jingyi in, which happened to be the private room next door to us.
The private rooms here are all separated by old-fashioned screens, and they talk in a voice that seems to be nothing, at first they talk about tax issues, and after someone leaves, only he and Zou Jingyi are left.
I listened attentively and with my ears pricked up, as if it had mentioned me, but the voice was too small to be inaudible, and for a moment I could not hear anything.
I lost interest and took a sip of champagne, "Mr. Bai brought me here just to let me see this? It's a pity, I already know about their relationship, and I am not surprised to let you down." β
"Oh?" Bai Liangshi became interested, "Then why are you so desperate for him? You should know that the most important thing around men is women, especially young and golden, and they are the objects that most women compete for. β
I smiled, "I'm not the same thing as they are chasing. β
"What are you chasing, money, status, or status? You have to know that nothing in this world is guaranteed. β
"You want me to leave Chen Ziyan. I said his purpose in one word, "I still say the same thing as before, I can't do without him." β
"You love him, or I can't find any reason for you to stay with him. It's nonsense that you're in love with someone of this status, and I don't think you'd be that stupid. β
I express my opinion with silence.
Bai Liangshi didn't say anything more, and took me away after sitting for a while. In the corridor, I saw a very familiar figure, it was Lin Jiasheng, the person holding his arm was wearing sunglasses, delicate and petite, and the two behaved very intimately.
I was stunned, this was not Liu Qi.
Lin Jiasheng cheated or did he act on the spot? I didn't dare to think about it, I wanted to take a photo, but I found that I didn't have my mobile phone. When I returned to the hotel, I called Liu Qi, only to know that she accompanied her parents back to her hometown, and I didn't know how to open my mouth, so I had to give up.
Three days later, Shengyuan officially acquired Hongda, and several tricky matters were also handed over to Shengyuan's public relations department to deal with. I got a sum of money, and Aunt Zhao was very satisfied with the result, "It's not convenient for girls to do business, so it's better to use the money to do what you like." β
I have been idle for half a month, watching the news, Chen Ziyan's tax problem in Linshi has been solved, and the result is quite light, just let him make up the taxes.
On the night of his return, we met in Yiting, and we hadn't seen him for a long time, and he had lost a little weight, and his originally well-cut suit was a little empty. I took the suit and hung it on the hanger, then sat silently with his arm around my arms.
"What's the matter? The company is not happy to sell. I said I'd bring him back to life, but you're going to sell it. β
I said in an urn voice, "Forget it, it's all like that, it's okay to sell it, save Soho from worrying, and I'm relaxed, I don't have to worry about it." β
Hearing this, Chen Ziyan was just about to speak, when the phone rang, and he called his father after connecting.
A calm and stern voice came from the other end, "Do you remember that I am your father, and you did the business of the two shareholders? You are also a shareholder of the company, and you can do this kind of thing that harms others and benefits yourself." You have to blame your Aunt Su for making up the tax matter yourself, do you have a son who does this? I know that you have a deep grudge, but I have explained many times before, your mother is ......."
"If she hadn't released the ghost in my company first, would I have done this? If you want to blame her, she is too greedy and stretches her hand too long. Chen Ziyan interrupted him, paused and said, "It's also time for these two shareholders to let them know whether Tiancheng's surname is Chen or Su, lest they forget their master." β
I was shocked that this incident turned out to be directed and acted by Chen Ziyan.
Father Chen sighed to himself.
After hanging up the phone, I grabbed his sleeve and eagerly asked him why he was doing this?
He sensed my uneasiness and chuckled, "If you don't go into the tiger's den, you will get the tiger." Her chess piece is buried too deeply, and if you don't pay a price, you can't dig it out easily. β
I twitched my lips, not knowing what to say.
I adjusted my mood and handed the phone to Chen Ziyan, the page happened to be the news of him and Xu Ran in the afternoon, I snuggled up to his side, "Mr. Chen has been famous recently, and he has been on the news more times than celebrities." β
"There's been a lot of this kind of news lately, and you have to learn to get used to it. β
His voice was low and charming.
"Mr. Chen, rest assured, I have good self-control. β
He rubbed his fingertips on my waist, "Accompany me to a party in a few days." β
I looked up suddenly, "That's not a grandiose way to tell everyone about our relationship, I'm afraid it's not good, I'm afraid someone ......"
"Soho knows that we are acting, what are you afraid of? Or do you have other considerations, such as Bai Dong?"
He squinted, his tone full of danger signals.
I obediently leaned into his arms, "I'm yours." β
When he said this, his mind was full of thoughts.
Chen Ziyan was very impressed by my softness, stroking my back, "Are you bored these days?"
"It's okay, it's just that I'm a little unaccustomed to being idle all of a sudden, maybe it'll be fine in a few days. β
He said, "It just so happens that a telecommunications company under my name lacks an administrative director, so I wonder if Miss Li is interested?"
"Me?" I pointed to myself in confusion, "can I do it? I've never been in contact with correspondence, and I'm afraid I won't be able to do it well." β
"I'll arrange for someone to take you, and it's not a complicated job. People from your original company can also follow. β
"No, they're fine in Shengyuan, when will I go to work?"
"Don't worry, wait for a few things to be taken care of before you go. β
I smiled and said, "Mr. Chen, it seems that I am destined to be ruined for you." β
His kiss landed softly in my ear and down my cheek, "It should be my honor to serve you." β
The atmosphere was beautiful, and a bell rang out at an inopportune time.
Chen Ziyan withdrew, calmed his breathing, glanced at the phone screen, and got up to connect the phone. I was disheveled, staring at his departing figure upstairs and biting my lip.
The caller is talking about dreams.
After a while, he took a shower and changed his clothes and went downstairs, picking up the car keys on the shoe cabinet, "I have to leave beforehand, you stay for one night and come back tomorrow." β
After Chen Ziyan left, I sat on the sofa until the early hours of the morning, then took a slow shower and got dressed, and drove home at about two o'clock.
Two days later, Chen Ziyan took me to socialize, and it was a bureau that wanted to cooperate with Tiancheng to find someone to form a special bureau. There were many familiar faces, and I was a little surprised to see them, but I quickly returned to normal, and I greeted them with a smile and a few small talks.
I brought a glass of red wine from the long table, and a waiter walked by and almost bumped into me, but he politely straightened my arm, bowed and said sorry.
Chen Ziyan was discussing the recent stock price with the person next to him, and I pointed to the wine stain on the hem of my skirt and whispered to go to the lounge to clean up. He nodded yes and asked me if I needed a new dress?
I shook my head and said no.
The lounge was at the end of the second floor, and I pushed open the door and whispered to the person sitting on the couch, "What are you looking for me for?"
She turned around and stroked the chestnut curls around her neck, her lips full and red, "Naturally, something." A few days ago, I called him away from you in the middle of the night, was it very unwilling? I can call him away from your bed, and I can also separate you completely, do you believe that I have the ability?"
My face was like an expression, "Miss Tan is still down to business." β
She crossed her legs and changed positions, "That's the business." β
I don't want to be fearless with her, and I'm about to leave.
"I heard that Xu Ran wants to unite with you to rectify me?"
Tan Meng stroked his big red nails and said nonchalantly.
I stopped, "You're very well-informed. Then you should know that I have rejected her. β
Talking about dreams tempted me, "I have a better attention, let's return a tooth for a tooth and join forces to bring down Xu Ran." If not, she can deal with me, and she will never be soft on you, so why should we become soft persimmons to be kneaded?"
I sarcastically said, "You're naΓ―ve. Do you think that if you bring down Xu Ran, you will become a leader? You also underestimate Xu Ran too much, overestimate yourself, you can do this kind of dream yourself, don't implicate me. β
Tan Meng walked up to me, "Aren't you very bold when you calculate Soho, how will this be recognized, some don't look like your style." β
She whispered a few words in my ear.
I pushed her away, I don't know if I was pushing too hard or she didn't pay attention, she fell to the ground, her elbow scraped the skin, she frowned, watery eyes stared at me, "What are you doing?"
I had already learned her acting skills last time, but this time I turned a blind eye, with an angry face, and said coldly, "Don't try to threaten me. β
With that, he walked away.
I went to the bathroom to reorganize my emotions and smiled satisfactorily at the mirror before going to the hall to look for Chen Ziyan. On the way back, I tentatively asked him about talking about dreams, but Chen Ziyan didn't seem to want to say more, so I didn't ask again.
There was silence in the carriage.
I twined my fingertips.
Chen Ziyan took the initiative to speak, "Some people are just for foils, like a high-end ornament, placed there for people to see, and some people are the left and right arms of the body, which parts are indispensable, which one do you want to be?"
I squeezed out tears of grievance and threw myself into his arms, "But that night you left, we were all like that, you left me and left." β
His slightly cool fingertips brushed the tails of my reddened eyes, and asked with a smile, "What happened to us that night?"
I glared at him coquettishly, turned my back and ignored him.
He laughed out loud, straightened my body, and kissed me lightly on the lips, "Good, you're more important than her, you'll know soon." β
I leaned against his warm chest and quietly cooled my face. It dawned on me that we had had countless intimate encounters, but I had never seen him clearly, and that his city was as vast as the sea, not elusive, but unfathomable from beginning to end.
Chen Ziyan seemed to have something to do, so he left me at the gate of the community and drove away.
On Friday afternoon, Jiang Ping invited me to dinner, and we haven't seen each other for a while since Hongda was acquired by Shengyuan. Jiang Ping made a big deal to book a box in Tianxiang Pavilion, and I asked her how her work is now?
Jiang Ping said, "It's okay, I'm just an ordinary office clerk now, doing some trivial tasks such as sorting out contracts and copying documents." β
I sandwiched a brisket, "It's like this at the beginning of office work, if you don't want to do it, quit and follow me, I have found a new job and can recruit you into the company." β
"It's Mr. Chen who helped, right?" she smiled mysteriously, and said, "I'm not going anywhere, I'm going to help you keep an eye on the grand in Shengyuan, and I believe that one day, you will get the grand again." β
I paused, and the chopsticks were held up in the air.
Jiang Ping winked at me, "Actually, I know everything, so don't hide it from me." She raised her hand and swore, "I won't tell anyone." β
I was helpless and smiled.
As soon as he got out of the box, a man and a woman came to him, the woman smiled coquettishly, stood on tiptoe and kissed the corner of the man's lips, the man was very useful, smiled dotingly, whispered a few words in the woman's ear, the woman pretended to be angry, and was about to hit him, the man grabbed the woman's hand and put it on the lips and kissed lightly.
I stood still, staring intently at the flirting men and women in front of me.
The man raised his head at the right time and met my dull gaze, and his face changed instantly, but he quickly returned to his senses.
It's Lin Jiasheng.
