Chapter 5: She and Her
The fireworks rained down, and Liu Qingsong, who was on crutches, left the family banquet and looked a little staggered when he walked, perhaps because it took him too much energy to entertain such a meal.
Away from the hustle and bustle of the first floor, Liu Qingsong came to the study on the second floor, sat down and flipped through an old book at will, but after reading a few lines, a woman appeared at the door, a tall and long-haired woman, because the corridor was dim, so she couldn't see her face clearly for a while, but just by the outline, you could feel that this woman was a little stunning beauty, which was a kind of Ling Ran's temperament, which was not found in those vase canaries.
"Why work with her?" the woman said, her voice sounding resentful.
"Horse gentleness?"
"You're starting to learn to ask knowingly, too. The woman leaned against the doorframe and lit a cigarette with a skilful movement.
Liu Qingsong squinted his eyes slightly, no matter how beautiful a woman is, she will give people a feeling of wind and dust when she is stained with tobacco, or he just inexplicably feels that she is pleasing to the eye with her smoking action, and she is far less gentle than the extremely chic horse.
This made him feel a little frustrated, after all, he had spent his whole life cultivating Liu Yanran, but in the end, he couldn't compare to the gentleness of the horse that came out of the most turbid soil, maybe this was fate.
"At this juncture, isn't it a little inappropriate to talk about these things again?" Liu Qingsong said, his voice was a little heavier, after all, the president of the Ocean Wave Chamber of Commerce had just passed away, and now the three directors formed a three-legged situation, extremely sensitive, and Liu Yanran, who was at the helm of one of the big boats, was still paying attention to this kind of thing, which made Liu Qingsong a little disappointed for no reason.
"The situation is all under my control, Nancheng can't fight, it's a big deal to go their own way, now I just want to know, why are you cooperating with that woman. The woman's voice suddenly turned cold, more like a question than an inquiry.
Liu Qingsong's face showed a little helplessness, maybe for this old man who has been invincible in a sense, the only weakness left now is this only daughter, but he doesn't feel how defeated he is, but feels that this is another kind of pride, because if Liu Yanran really keeps going on the path he planned, he is destined not to have a good result, after all, he can't shelter Liu Yanran for a lifetime, so he wants to see Liu Yanran's independence, of course, Liu Yanran has never let him down over the years.
"Yanran, you didn't blame her for that little thing back then, I don't blame you, there is no need to be persistent, I think you should also know that even if you are more serious for a lifetime, there will be no result, because she is gentle, have you ever seen her soft?" Liu Qingsong said, and did not choose to follow Liu Yanran's words, but tried to untie such a knot, of course, Liu Qingsong is also very clear, if you untie the knot in the past ten years with just a few words, this knot will not exist for so long.
"I'm just asking you why you're working with her, answer me. Liu Yanran was not moved by Liu Qingsong's words, but continued to ask persistently, and it was precisely because of this persistence that she did not become a canary.
"I'm just trying to find a way out, if the Nancheng bureau explodes, at least there will be a way out. Liu Qingsong knew that he couldn't beat Liu Yanran, so in the end he could only compromise, although he knew very well that when he said such a sentence, he just fell into Liu Yanran's trap.
Indeed, after Liu Qingsong said such a thing, Liu Yanran's expression changed greatly, although Liu Qingsong couldn't see her face in the dark, but Liu Qingsong could think of how wonderful Liu Yanran's expression was.
"You don't believe I'm going to keep such a family business, do you think I'm going to lose to them? Do you think I'm going to lose to her?" she said with an indescribable anger in her voice.
Liu Qingsong looked at Liu Yanran, who was a little rioty, sighed and closed the book in his hand, got up and said: "People always leave a way back for themselves, not to mention that I have too many people's lives and deaths in my hands, I believe that you should have experienced this kind of pressure over the years, this river and lake is not as simple as you see, there must be someone who comes out to protect such a family." ”
"You mean I'm not as good as that woman at all, right?" Liu Yanran had a deep resentment in her voice, which seemed to come from her bones.
Liu Qingsong looked at Liu Yanran, who was a little sharp, shook his head slightly and said: "You are not comparable, because you were born in two worlds, when you were born, I was already on the board of directors of the Ocean Wave Chamber of Commerce, and where she was born, I believe you should know better than anyone else, so I don't mean that I deny your current achievements because of this, I just advise you, don't provoke her again, you are not her opponent, about this point, you should be very clear in your heart." ”
Liu Yanran's teeth clenched, her nails sank deep into the flesh, and she didn't make a sound, so she turned around and left angrily, leaving behind the sound of high heels that were fading away.
Liu Qingsong did not stop this wayward child, but sat down slowly, gently pressing his temples, trying to relieve the fatigue in his heart, but he didn't know anything, whether it was relieved or not, it was just a ridiculous psychological effect.
The mobile phone rang extremely inopportunely, Liu Qingsong couldn't help frowning slightly after seeing the number called, he roughly guessed the meaning of this call, maybe it was the reason why he didn't want to face it directly, he hesitated for a while before choosing to connect such a call.
"Ma Wenrou, it seems that you haven't had the habit of greeting me for the New Year in the past ten years, right?" Liu Qingsong said with a little hostility in his voice, perhaps because Liu Yanran was rarely angry just now, which made him feel a little unhappy in his heart, of course, Ma Wenrou became the last victim.
Perhaps the most ugly thing about human nature is that Liu Qingsong clearly knows this, but he still does this, and he doesn't mean to let her go, and potentially, he doesn't let her go as if he didn't let go of himself.
"Old man, isn't it a bit too unkind to say this during the Chinese New Year?" Ma Ma's gentle and unwavering voice came from the opposite side, and it was not shaken by Liu Qingsong's unkind voice.
Liu Qingsong's face was serious, and he slowly exhaled a breath and said, "If you have something to say, say it." ”
"I don't know what you think about the Wave Chamber of Commerce. The horse said softly and quietly, and there seemed to be a blade hidden in his words that pierced people's hearts.
Liu Qingsong suddenly smiled, perhaps smelling the smell of strong ambition, he said: "Ma Wenrou, isn't a Xicheng still satisfied with you?"
"Old man, ambition is a thing that can never be satisfied if you feed it once, and now I have chips in my hand to play such a game. Ma said gently, and in this way, the New Year's conversation developed into a negotiation.
Liu Qingsong squinted his eyes slightly, he heard the sharpness in Ma Wenwen's words, obviously Ma Wenrou was also very dissatisfied with his attitude, which made Liu Qingsong sigh in his heart, he was such a big tiger, is it now that he has reached the time of old teeth, he is no longer paranoid, because no matter how paranoid he is, he will not talk to Ma Wenrou about any good results, he said a little helplessly:" Regarding the matter of the Ocean Wave Chamber of Commerce, I have given full authority to Yanran to do it for me, if you really have any plans, you can talk to her, I am just an old man who has taken a back seat. ”
Listening to Liu Qingsong's words, Ma Wenrou on the other side was silent, and only after a long time did she speak: "That little girl who always cries her nose can also carry this heavy responsibility?"
"You're already in Ling Ran's position with Wei Jiu, can't she still take over from me, a little director for you?" Liu Qingsong said.
"I'll talk to her. Ma Wenrou said directly, but there were already waves in his voice that Liu Qingsong could perceive.
"She hasn't let go of those things back then, but she can't wait to cut you with a thousand knives, I hope you can leave such a line in your heart. Liu Qingsong said.
"This hasn't even met before we start caring for the calves. Ma smiled softly and teasingly.
"I'm just such a good protector, and I'm sure you'll sell me such a face. Liu Qingsong said, not very tough, he knows the gentle temperament of the horse very well, and the standard eats soft and not hard.
Ma Wenrou didn't choose to directly answer the old man's somewhat pitiful question, but couldn't help asking: "Put such a big stall in her hands, aren't you afraid that she will mess up?" ”
"Although I can't hold it, but at least I can't live for a few years, and it is impossible to keep such a family business for a lifetime, someone has to stand up, since Yanran has chosen such a path, then I will give her the greatest support. Liu Qingsong said, his voice revealing a little helplessness, perhaps because Ma gently said in his heart.
"It's a big gamble, old man, and it doesn't look like yours at all. Ma said gently, but as soon as she said this, she instantly understood something, and continued: "Could it be that the situation has forced you to this point?"
"Forget it, it's unlucky to talk about these things during the New Year, the muddy waters of Nancheng, if you are interested, you can talk to Yanran, of course I will stand in the position of a peacemaker." Liu Qingsong sighed and didn't plan to discuss it any further, this was just to relieve his current powerlessness.
"I see. Ma said softly.
As soon as the phone call ended, Liu Qingsong put down the phone, his expression looked even older, and he couldn't help coughing violently, he always wondered inexplicably, if Liu Yanran was replaced by Ma Wenrou, would he still have a little confidence.
