In the huge living room, two people sitting opposite each other had their own thoughts.

Bai Yi was silent from his face, his eyelashes slightly tucked to hide his vision, but he was looking at the girl opposite. He Manzhou looked very well-behaved when she didn't speak, especially when she lowered her head and drank tea slowly and silently, her face was fair and delicate, reflecting the sunlight through the window, and even the subtle fluff on her face was quite delicate.

The northern girl's choking arrogance was restrained by three points with one mouth, her long soft hair hung down on her shoulders, and her body wrapped in a pure white sweater was slightly thin, which also gave her body a little more permission to call it "soft" temperament, like a quiet porcelain doll.

This thought popped up in Bai Yicong's mind, but soon, he denied such an evaluation.

He Manzhou's drooping eyes showed a faint amber color in the sun, and his long eyelashes cast a small good-looking shadow, and the gold-edged sunlight was like a gentle filter, giving such a tense and serious occasion a little more leisure unique to a winter afternoon.

It can be seen that He Manzhou is a little nervous, and she has no confidence in this negotiation, so when her eyes unconsciously glance at Bai Yicong, she will pretend to move away immediately. But this tension has nothing to do with cowardice, but more like a feline watching its prey boredly, trying to find each other's weaknesses with patience.

It was not so much a silent confrontation as He Manzhou was trying her best to control her emotions, and for people who were used to going straight, this control obviously made her a little irritable.

...... No, the porcelain doll is not as smart and bright as hers, and it is not fresh enough.

She's more like a kitten nestled on the couch, wagging her tail lazily and scratching at balls of yarn.

Bai Yicong's gaze stopped on He Manzhou for a few seconds, thinking truthfully.

She has a keen guard against dangers in the outside world, but she is loose and free in her bones, so she is too lazy to do those superfluous responses, and puts away the claws under the meat pad, choosing to follow instinct.

is probably the identity bonus of the life-saving benefactor Tuogu, Bai Yicong showed rare patience, and his attitude towards He Manzhou can be called pleasant, and he is even reluctant to communicate with her rhythm. Although such a "pleasant face" has become a proper smiling tiger in the eyes of other girls, every pore is filled with a villain atmosphere that is not smiling, which makes people feel uncomfortable how to look at it.

Compared with Bai Yicong's methodical observation and analysis, He Manzhou's thoughts at the moment are much simpler.

She didn't have any twists and turns, she saw the essence directly through the current situation, and gave an unturning evaluation - the more Bai Yicong didn't speak, the more panicked she became. As the silence became longer and longer, Miss He couldn't figure out the number of roads on the other side at all, and the fluttering little heart was almost at a critical point, and she was forced to almost run away on the spot.

After drinking half a cup of tea, Bai Yicong put down the cup and opened his mouth lightly.

"Okay, private matter....... What do you want to talk about?"

Seeing that someone who was silent was golden, he rarely opened his mouth, He Manzhou said decisively: "Then I won't talk darkly, Boss Bai, I came here on purpose today - the two of us are peers, Tianwentang and Baiyulou are not far away, and they are half a neighbor if rounded, if you weren't too busy, I should have come to visit a long time ago, right?"

Bai Yi never thought that He Manzhou would hold back such a sentence after holding back for a long time, looking at the girl's serious appearance, Boss Bai rarely cooperated once, and did not hit her directly, but just asked lightly.

"So what?"

He Manzhou didn't know what to do, and said in his heart that the road of wearing a high hat was still quite practical in Bai Yicong, and no matter how mysterious and unpredictable people were, they couldn't help but be praised by others.

Then, with a pretended annoyance, she sighed and continued to pursue the victory.

"So...... There's just something I don't understand. Boss Bai is the head of the Bai family, it stands to reason that he should be a busy person, whether it is Bai Yulou or other industries of the Bai family, you are indispensable to take care of it personally. But as far as I know, you rarely stay in Z City, and even my peers don't have much chance to see you, even if it is an auction hosted by Bai Yulou, it is very rare for you to preside over it in person...... What's the matter, Boss Bai is too late to expand the provincial market, isn't it too late to Zhang Luo's own stall?"

Before coming to Baiyulou, He Manzhou made a lot of preparations.

Adhering to the principle of knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent, no matter how bad it is, she has to come smoothly with thirty-six plans, Miss He is proficient in using the Internet, and carefully checked the information about Bai Yicong, although there is little useful information, it is better to talk than nothing. In addition, she also learned negotiation skills by herself and taught herself how to sell land, as well as psychological inducement, and at this time, she used it with no matter whether it was useful or not, and directly played a set of high-configuration combos for Bai Yicong, and she was digging a pit for the opposite side with one mouth.

Bai Yicong only felt a little funny in his eyes.

"You care about my trip?"

"Boss Bai is going to see the outside, I just said, we are peers, what cooperation will there be in the future. He Manzhou's face did not change, and no matter where the antique city and the private museum were, or whether the relationship between her and Bai Yicong reached that point, she began to brainwash others at all costs, "Therefore, if there are any good business opportunities, Boss Bai can't eat alone...... You help me, I'll help you, the first rich drive the later to get rich, and making money together is the way to make money, am I reasonable?"

Bai Yi never raised his eyebrows or not, and didn't say anything.

He Manzhou took the other party's silence as a tacit acquiescence, and began to continue to find steps for himself, trying his best to follow the words.

"Since you think so too, I'll go on. At the end of the year, our antique industry is busy, no, because of Su Munan's auction exhibition, I was still working overtime yesterday, not even a weekend...... Tsk, speaking of which, this business was taken from you, and I have to thank Boss Bai for raising your hand?"

Su Munan's calligraphy and painting auction exhibition was indeed intended to cooperate with Bai Yulou at first.

However, Bai Yicong's business focus is not on the auction, and Su Munan's magnitude of this exhibition is not small, and he gambled all his net worth, which caused him to attach great importance to this auction, and it was almost strict.

When talking about business, it is probably a matter of looking at the buyer's market and the seller's market. If it is replaced by an ordinary small company, eager to negotiate the next big business, grasp the gimmick of the New Year's exhibition to add a wave of attention to the enterprise, of course, I can't wait to talk to Su Munan's auction exhibition, no matter what kind of request the other party makes, I will try to meet it.

But Bai Yulou's reputation has been accumulated for several generations, and the most important thing is fame.

If this cooperation can be facilitated, it will be the icing on the cake and mutually beneficial. It doesn't matter if you can't, after all, this is not a send-off, and it will not affect the normal operation of the Bai family's business, and of course, there is no need to compromise. At the end of the year, Bai Yicong had too many things to do, and he didn't bother to fight with such a perfectionist, and he was also very disdainful of Su Munan's pretentious posture. When arrogant authoritarians encounter fastidious businessmen, it is inevitable that irreconcilable contradictions will occur, especially since no one is willing to give in, and collapse is almost inevitable.

In addition, during that time, Bai Yicong was disturbed by the nightmare about Lao He.

Most of his energy was focused on investigating the true identity of "Lao He" and whether he had any connection to He Sheng at the Tianwentang Museum. After hearing that the Tianwentang Museum was trying its best to win this business, whether it was an intentional temptation or special care, Bai Yicong simply gave He Manzhou a favor and offered to terminate the cooperation with Su Munan.

Later, Bai Yulou did not follow up on this single cooperation, and Su Mu Nan retreated and chose the Tianwentang Museum.

As a result, what Manzhou just said, it is no different from Bai Yicong's expectations.

But there is no need to tell the little girl so clearly about these insiders, Bai Yicong's fingers gently rubbed the outer wall of the green jade cup, and said lightly: "Business matters are all based on ability, there is no so-called noble hand." ”

He Manzhou didn't come to the door to thank him on purpose, mentioning these was nothing more than trying to test Bai Yicong's tone, it would be great if he could ask something, even if he couldn't ask her, it wouldn't be a loss.

After all, this sentence is only an introduction at best, and the content that follows is the main point.

So she quickly cleaned up her mood and smiled: "It's all good to rely on ability, then I'll assume that you are complimenting our museum's business ability - hey, the exhibition during the New Year really can't stand a little negligence, Mr. Su's auction is relatively large, since he chose the Tianwentang Museum, we can't live up to his trust, we have to do everything ourselves." ”

Then her tone paused slightly, and she asked casually.

"But then again, Boss Bai, at this juncture, you busy man must be more tired than me. Heard..... You weren't in Z City at this time last year, what kind of exhibition were you busy with at that time?"

This set of rhetoric, which is like the joint of gangsters in Hong Kong films, completely amused Bai Yicong.

This undetectable smile made his cold face like an ice sculpture come alive, his pale thin lips pursed slightly, the corners of his lips hooked a little arc, and his eyes as silent as ice and snow swept over He Manzhou's face, with undisguised observation. But the smile lines at the end of his eyes revealed a bit of thought, making his gaze soften a little.

So much so that this is clearly just a small action to look at the details of He Manzhou, but it doesn't seem so cold, let alone the usual aggressiveness.

If this scene was seen by Dong Nan, he would definitely call himself a ghost, otherwise how could he see such a look on the face of his facial paralysis boss, was there a problem with his eyes, or Bai Yicong suddenly went online from the facial expression management system that seemed to be frozen.

But then again, Bai Yicong really thinks He Manzhou is quite interesting.

The girl's intelligence and agility are with an unsophisticated innocence, and her careful thinking is on the bright side, Bai Yi can see through it at a glance, after all, her mind is too easy to guess. Those roundabout temptations, for a long time can not talk about the point, the so-called knowing oneself and knowing the other is just a very empty routine, every word and deed is placed in the business negotiation will be directly ko'd by the opponent, and if you don't keep it, you will be deceived by others.

But it's only interesting enough, if this is not Lao He's daughter, maybe even this time seems redundant.

Thinking like this, Bai Yixian was too lazy to make more observations, so he simply stopped going around in circles and directly said the part He Manzhou wanted to hear the most.

"If you're asking about personal matters, I did visit Dock City this time last year. However, if you want to learn more clues from me, I have a hard time telling you useful information. ”
