Chapter 134: Dilemma
When he said this, Gu Nanqiao had already made his position very clear.
Before, everyone's purpose was the same, driven by the same interests, everything was just a harmless trivial, and of course Gu Nanqiao would not care about those details. But once someone wants to put the abacus on the head of the spring garden, it will touch her most fundamental position, and she will not make any concessions just because of affection.
Feng Tan heard the aggressiveness in Gu Nanqiao's tone, but he acted as if nothing happened, he raised his eyes and looked at Gu Nanqiao, and just laughed casually.
"What should I do if I participate in the Old Dream Project, and how to deal with the Ji family at that time, is not something that I can say alone. The major shareholder of this troupe is Su Yiyang, the artistic consultant is you, and the uncles and teachers who perform on stage, as for how to perform at that time, this is something that should be discussed by the big guys, isn't it embarrassing for me if you ask me like this?"
"You know I'm not talking about the development of the repertoire. Gu Nanqiao looked at Feng Tan with a smile, his tone was not hurried, and even teased with coquettishness, as if he was joking with an old friend, "What I want to say is that you want to use this old dream plan to lure Ji Guangfan to the bait and detonate those shady things back then, but the Ji family is cunning and rabbit, and there is no way to show the horse's feet at all, you want to investigate those mysteries that have not seen the light of day but you have no way to start, so naturally you have to muddy this mess first, forcing the Ji family to show your feet, and then you can take advantage of the chaos to find an opportunity."
Feng Tan didn't show too much expression on his face, but just picked up the porcelain cup on the tea table and poured a cup of tea.
There were distinct emerald tea leaves floating in the clear yellow tea soup, and when the lid of the cup was lifted, the mist filled the bottom of Feng Tan's eyes, like a thin layer of smoke, so that the cold cream in his eyes was even more unreal.
Gu Nanqiao's voice was still ringing unhurriedly.
The half-truths she is talking about now, she has been by Su Yiyang's side for so long, and she has more or less come into contact with some inside information, which accounts for three points, and inferred according to those subtle clues, and then guesses and analyzes them along the vine accounts for another three points, and the last few points come from the Mei family and the more intricate mysteries behind it.
Different from the sharpness of the content between the lines, Gu Nanqiao's tone was calm and soothing, and his clear and beautiful voice was not like a question, but just like telling a very ordinary fact.
"If you want to let the Ji family take the bait, you have to make some preparations, and you have to place the right bait to attract Ji Guangfan's old fox, since you stuck the next step in preparing the old dream plan, it means that the long-term line that has been put down for a long time is now the time to close the net, so if I guess correctly, this bait is a repertoire full of spring."
"I can't see it, you're really an understanding person. Feng Tan glanced at Gu Nanqiao meaningfully, didn't deny her words, just asked lightly, "The old dream plan involves the official, and this is the best opportunity." The Ji family has a big business, just relying on me and Su Yiyang, or the Feng family and the Su family, is not enough to shake him from the root of the place, even if he wants to investigate, he has to be targeted, so at this time, it is not normal to choose to take advantage of the situation, and Miss Gu has no objections."
"Why can't I have any objections, no matter what position you have, I have to ask, what are you calculating in the spring garden, do you want to make this troupe better, or simply pave the way for your revenge."
Gu Nanqiao's tone paused slightly, and his clear and moving eyes flashed with a faint fierceness.
"Everyone is a person who understands, you don't have to pretend to be confused with me, you and Su Yiyang are planning something in private, I can see that if you don't ask deeply before, there is no need to interfere in your affairs, and I don't want Ah Yang to be caught in the middle and find it difficult to do. Second, to put it bluntly, you Feng Tan and I don't have too deep a friendship, I don't care about your private affairs, and I don't bother to care so much. But as an alliance, it has never harmed my interests to fulfill your truth, in other words, the spring garden is my core interest, and my bottom line is that this troupe can only be better, not worse, I say this, understand"
As these words came out, the atmosphere in the huge office was a little awkward for a while.
Su Yiyang frowned slightly, his beautiful smiling eyes were half-squinted, there was no trace of a smile in his eyes, and his eyes were locked on Feng Tan's body, as if he wanted to distinguish something from his trivial expression.
Obviously, Gu Nanqiao's words poked at Feng Tan's pain point.
Looking at the entire spring garden, the grievances of the Ji family, the Su family and the Feng family are only controlled within the scope of Su Yiyang, Gu Nanqiao and Feng Tan, so whether it is revenge or investigation, it is also an alliance within the small group of the three of them, and people who are close to Zhong Ziyi, Fan Lingchu and others are also unaware of this, it can be said that this is a secret iron triangle relationship.
But such an iron triangle is inherently unequal.
Gu Nanqiao and Su Yiyang are lovers, and when they encounter a choice, they will inevitably stand on the united front, and Su Yiyang will more or less take care of his sweetheart's thoughts. On the other hand, Feng Tan, no matter how close he is to the troupe, he is an outsider after all, Su Yiyang may not care much about his feelings, and Gu Nanqiao certainly doesn't need to pay attention to those irrelevant things.
Not to mention, to what extent Su Yiyang cares about Sun Jing's death, and what city government can he go to against the Ji family in order to investigate these old things, these are all questions from the bottom of Feng Tan's heart, and they are also concerns that have been buried invisibly since he found the Spring Garden and formed a short-term alliance with Su Yiyang.
Feng Tan can't ask Su Yiyang openly and honestly about these things, even if he asks, he can only get irrelevant prevarication, smart as Su Dashao, the best at controlling people's hearts, of course, he will not show his hole cards in the game first, and the left and right are silent trade-offs, and it is impossible for others to guess.
Therefore, Su Yiyang didn't say it, and Feng Tan didn't ask. Such a delicate balance continued, until Gu Nanqiao's current words broke this balance like breaking the clouds, and also made the things that needed to be discussed sooner or later open and honest in advance.
"Since you asked so directly, then I will also say it directly. ”
Feng Tan blew the emerald green tea tip in the teacup, and opened his mouth unhurriedly, "We say it's an alliance, in fact, everyone's bottom line is different, and the goal they want to achieve is not necessarily the same, Su Yiyang has reservations, and you are the same, right, I can only say that whether the spring garden is good or bad, it has no effect on me, if the Ji family did not participate in the affairs of the year, it would be good to say, but if they participated, then completely destroy the Ji family and let Ji Guangfan pay for his blood debts, this is what I want to do." ”
"So, this troupe is a victim in your mind"
"Why not"
Gu Nanqiao half-hugged his elbows, looked at Feng Tan with a smile, and asked again, "Then I can understand that you are going to stand on the opposite side of my bottom line, Feng Tan?"
"If it really involves a matter of interest, it is indeed the case, Miss Gu. ”
Feng Tan chuckled, and the pair of peachy peach blossom eyes fell on Gu Nanqiao's body, without concealing the speculation in it, and with a trace of sarcasm, "The purpose is not the same, it is difficult to continue on the same path, if we can't reach an agreement on the issue of the "Old Dream Plan", no one can convince anyone, then there is no need for the so-called alliance to exist."
As the topic collapsed, the silence could not stop spreading, and the atmosphere became more and more awkward. In the silence, only the sound of the breeze blowing the leaves can be heard, and outside the window is an endless blue sky, and the wisps of sunlight stretch onto the windowsill, outlining the warm light and spilling straight in.
The excessively bright sunlight makes the eyes hurt, and the backlit shadows make many things not real, and also make those originally soft things have too much contour that cannot be ignored, as if they have become sharp invisibly.
After saying that, Feng Tan put down the teacup. His slender fingers lightly clasped the edge of the tea table, and a little water stained his fingertips, leaving a faint mark on his neatly trimmed nails, but he just stood up and shook his ankle casually as if he didn't care.
Outside the window, another puffy cloud drifted away, and the sunlight became more dazzling.
The brilliant light broke through the medium in the air, and cruelly cut a clear dividing line between Feng Tan, who was standing, and Su Yiyang and Gu Nanqiao, who were sitting on the sofa, as if it was invisibly drawing an end to the bits and pieces of getting along in the past six months, and even smoothing out some things that had finally merged in Feng Tan's heart.
But in just a few words, everything is back to the way it was half a year ago.
The silent battle doesn't stop, and everyone weighs it.
Gu Nanqiao was thinking about whether it was pros or cons to continue to cooperate with Feng Tan, what his arrival had brought to the Spring Garden, and how much impact would the uncertainty on his body have. And Feng Tan was also weighing, he was thinking about Su Yiyang's attitude and tendency, if he lost this alliance, whether he could deal with the Ji family independently, and if not, whether he really had to make concessions at such a critical moment.
Su Yiyang, on the other hand, is looking for a balance between quietness and emotion.
He broke his thoughts, and opened up and honestly about the past of his youth, love, love, responsibility and burden, hatred and entanglement, and even more things, comparing the weight of these things with Gu Nanqiao one by one, he was thinking about his own partiality or position, and then finding a solution to this dead end as quickly as possible.
I don't know how long later, the lid of the stainless steel kettle was lifted up by the boiling steam, and the sound of boiling water echoed in the room, finally breaking the excessive tranquility that was spreading at the moment.
Along with this, it was the chuckle that sneered from Feng Tan's throat, he half-squinted his cold peach blossom eyes, and looked straight at Su Yiyang, "So, Miss Gu and I must be difficult to reach an agreement, Boss Su, what do you think, don't you tell us?"
This sentence seems to be an understatement, but in fact it is a flat thunder.
