I put down the phone and suddenly figured it out.

Gu Yixiao said that he had a good impression of me since he met me, and he could have stayed in the best law firm in the world and easily got an annual salary of one million dollars, but he deliberately returned to China. When he came back, he happened to meet me, and again and again hinted, openly and secretly that he liked me.

Did he want me to cheat on me? If he couldn't implement it on my side, did he implement the second plan with Sheng Qingjin?

The more I thought about it, the chilling I became.

I don't dare to imagine what he was thinking when he faced me, to avenge his girlfriend Lin Yiran?

It turns out that all this has nothing to do with me.

He is really good at acting, he calculated step by step, when I was most helpless, he helped me, brought down Si Jianlian, took back KB Company, and then concentrated on calculating me.

Just two weeks later, he told me that his love for me was genuine, and that he couldn't be sure of anything else, only that was certain. So, what else does he want to use in me? If you can't get KB, won't you let go?

What would he do if KB was in his hands? Kill me? Probably not, he would humiliate me and make me realize that life is better than death?

My mind was a mess, thinking about all I was thinking about with Gu Yixiao. In fact, I should have understood that such a large age gap would not end well. However, his gentleness and thoughtfulness made me irresistible, and now I think about it, I am still reluctant.

What the hell is wrong with me?

Liu Shuang stood at the door holding the document and hesitated for a moment and shouted: "Mr. Tao, Mr. Si is here, just ......"

Before she could finish speaking, Si Jianlian pushed her aside with his hand, walked in, and said to Liu Shuang at the same time: "No one is allowed to disturb us." ”

Si Jianlian should have some grand event today, wearing a custom suit, tie, shirt, and his hair is meticulously combed. His face sank, and his restrained and sullen temperament was actually a little seductive. It's a pity that I built him like this, and I have no interest in it at all.

"What's wrong?" I asked, pushing my spirits.

"Who told you that?" he asked, sitting across from me, staring straight at me.

"You just say one word, is it true or false?" I pretended not to care, but in my heart I cared so much that even my ears couldn't help but stand up.

Si Jianlian sighed and said, "Fake." ”

"Can I go see the girl, then?" I asked.

He was speechless.

"It's true, you settled the whole thing behind my back, right?" I asked.

Si Jianlian still didn't speak.

That year, KB had just been listed, he was proud of the spring breeze, his eyes were smiling every day, he was very busy, but after returning home, he was completely relaxed. At that time, I hadn't quite come home, he had me in his eyes, and he had a job. I'm not surprised that he did these things for me.

Now that I think about it, he must have secretly done a lot of things to defend me.

"Gu Yixiao told you something. Si Jianlian said.

I nodded, "Almost." ”

"This bastard, his hands are too dark. Si Jianlian scolded, looked at me again and asked, "What are you going to do next?"

"Bribe the big toudong, let them not turn their back at a critical time, as long as the status quo is maintained, KB is still under my control. I looked at him and asked, "What's your idea?"

"That's all it can be. Si Jianlian said, his brows furrowed even deeper.

"What are you doing here, afraid I'm going to break down?" I asked with a smile.

"Stop laughing, it's ugly. He looked at me and pinned his head out the window.

"By the way, whose child is Sheng Qing Jinsheng's? have you found out?" I asked again.

Si Jian didn't even look back, and his breathing became unsteady. He took a deep breath for a while before saying, "Tao Ran, you have such a powerful mouth, why don't you go to Gu Yixiao." ”

I saw his reaction a little regretful as well.

Now it is almost certain that Sheng Qingjin and Gu Yixiao are accomplices, and they teamed up to break up Si Jianlian and me first, and then implemented the plan to acquire KB step by step.

"I'm sorry. I stood up, took a glass of mineral water, handed it to him, and said, "I wanted to say that if I could find out who the child's father was, I might be able to fight back." ”

Si Jian connected the water, unscrewed the lid and poured 250 ml in one gulp, then looked at me and said, "There is a party tonight, Consortium A entered China for a cocktail party, I got an invitation, I want to take you with me, are you willing?"

My eyelids jumped, and I breathed a sigh of relief in my heart, knowing that it was finally time to face it.

In fact, I was mentally prepared and knew that sooner or later I would have the opportunity to meet Gu Yixiao in the business field. But, subconsciously, I'm dodging such opportunities. I didn't want to see him so soon because I hadn't gotten my winning cards yet, and I wasn't ready to see him again.

After Si Jianlian finished speaking, he looked at me for three minutes, and sighed: "Women and men are different, no matter what kind of relationship they have, they must always remember it after they are lost." If you don't want to go, I'll find an assistant to go with me. ”

He's learned to be considerate now, but he's not the man standing next to me anymore.

"I'll go. I saw him get up and leave, and uttered these two words in a deep voice.

Si Jianlian had already prepared, opened the door of the office and said to Liu Shuang, "Send in the things I brought." ”

He actually brought something with him?

I can't figure out what he was carrying.

Liu Shuang walked in with a black gift box, and put the box on my desk with both hands. I took a look at it and immediately understood that this was the dress that Si Jianlian bought for me.

We've been together for so many years, and he has never offered to buy me clothes. Sometimes, I will also hypocritically say that other people's husbands have given something, and he was very impatient to say that the card is in your hand, and you can buy whatever you want, why do you have to let me send it. Besides, you may not be satisfied with what I sent.

He never bothered to guess and observe what I liked. Buying things is expensive, big, stupid and stupid.

Now, he actually has the heart to send things in a gift box, which should be the credit of Sheng Qingjin.

I didn't write these on my face, I just opened the gift box very casually and saw the amazing clothes inside.

This is a royal blue silk dress, slim design, a straight neckline, a little back exposed, the appearance is simple and generous, it is indeed more suitable for my temperament.

My own appearance, I know best.

I wasn't the prettiest standing in the crowd, but my skin was the whitest, the kind that was so white that it glowed. This skin tone goes best with royal blue. Moreover, this kind of color temperament is not good and cannot be challenged, and it will look old and ugly. The fat ones can't be challenged, and the heavy silk fabric can best expose the fat on the waist and buttocks.

The hem of the skirt is slit to show off long legs.

I love this dress, and I can imagine how beautiful it will be in it.

However, I still struggled a little because I didn't have any jewelry.

Si Jianlian didn't seem to realize this, stood up and pushed the box to my side and said, "You can change your clothes, I'll wait for you outside." ”

I went to the small lounge inside to change my clothes and touch up my makeup in front of the mirror.

In the mirror, my eyes are clear and my eyebrows are clear, my skin is as white as snow, and the nobility and alienation revealed between my eyebrows and eyes are not available before. The hair was simply curled in a high bun and sprayed with a bit of styling gel. The royal blue is well dressed and very noble, and I did that.

The fly in the ointment is that I am wearing a set of yellow diamond jewelry today, which is not very matched.

I checked again that there was nothing wrong with my whole body, and pushed the door open.

Si Jianlian, who was waiting outside, turned around when he heard the voice, and the moment he saw me, his eyes were amazed. I know the shock this outfit caused him. In his impression, for the past five years, I have been wearing either ordinary dresses, loose cotton T-shirts, ordinary jeans, and sneakers every day. Anyone who has ever brought a child knows that when you are faced with an energetic child, high heels and beautiful skirts are natural enemies, because he will run away with a whoosh at any moment.

"Let's go. I said.

Si Jianlian looked at me seriously twice, then nodded and said, "Let's go." ”

When I got to the elevator, he sighed beside me and said, "Tao Ran, you are so beautiful today." ”

"I've always been like this, but I didn't dress up before. I looked at myself in the elevator mirror and said. Si Jianlian's eyes sank in the mirror and said, "It's been my problem for the past few years, ignoring you." ”

"It's all over, don't talk about it. If I'm not mistaken, Sheng Qingjin will go tonight, will you find our own dance partners, or do we make a pair?" I interrupted.

What is past is what is in the past, and it is useless to talk about it. I don't want to hear anything he says he regrets anymore.

Now, I have adapted to my current life, and Beanbao has also adapted to my father's absence. We don't have to keep our children adjusting to anything over and over again.

What's more, a person's life is also quite good. The only downside is tiredness. However, this kind of tiredness was chosen by himself, and there were no pig teammates to hold him back, and the mood was better than before, I don't know how many times.

When he got to Si Jianlian's car, he opened the visor on the front of the car, took out a white jewelry box and handed it to me, saying, "Change the jewelry." ”

When I opened it, it was a flawless set of gold beads.

In recent years, the price of gold beads has risen rapidly, and the unit price of a sixteen-year-old bright and flawless dark gold bead is in the tens of thousands. This set of jewelry is almost the size of a thumb, especially the earrings are set with diamonds, which is simply extravagant to a certain extent.

I conservatively estimated that the price of this set of jewelry should be around two million.

"It's too precious, it's not appropriate to give it to me. "I didn't wear it.

"You gave you the wedding gift I gave you that year. Si Jianlian said while driving, "The things that have been given to you over the years can be counted on one hand." When I saw this that day, I thought that it matched your temperament very well, and I took it down, and there was no suitable reason to send it. Take it, so I don't feel so guilty. ”

When he said this, it would be hypocritical for me not to accept it. Moreover, even if Si Jianlian is not the president of KB now, he is not short of money in his hands, and two million should not be a very large amount in his hand.

"Thank you. "I looked at the vanity mirror generously and changed the jewelry.

With such a change, the whole person has risen by I don't know how many grades. Sure enough, it is a man who depends on his clothes, and a horse who depends on a saddle.

Consortium A is in a hegemonic position in the United States, and this time it is also painstaking to enter the Chinese market. In addition to KB, they have taken in several new companies that have only risen in the last year. The market value of these companies was not very high when they were acquired, but in just three or four months after they were acquired, the market value increased by five or six times, and the increase was amazing.

It is said that this consortium has a powerful think tank, and every decision is the result of deliberation by everyone. Whether it's true or not, no one knows. However, as long as it is a company that they fancies, there is nothing that cannot be acquired in the first place, and after the second acquisition arrives, 99% of it is a straight upward trend.

Because, their judgment of the new industry is too accurate.

This time, the reception was held in a hotel where the country received important foreign guests, and it was heavily guarded, and after holding an invitation card with a magnetic stripe, it was necessary to show proof of identity. Even the car was strictly inspected from the inside out, and I felt that it was stricter than the security check at the airport.

After checking all the way, we finally came to the Grand Ballroom.

After I entered, I saw that several leaders of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Commerce were also there. It seems that the specifications of this banquet are completely beyond my imagination.

Si Jianlian had already expected this, and before entering the hall, he took my hand and whispered: "I can only order until today, and I want to save face for all parties." I'm here to get to the bottom of it. It has been a mystery to see who their president of China will be. ”

"So what?" I asked.

"In the U.S., it would also be good to squeeze me out of KB. I'm okay now, but I'm so close to him. I don't have any purpose, and it's good to make friends with him. What's more, you probably forgot that before I returned to China, Consortium A had poached me with a lot of money. Si Jianlian said.

It suddenly occurred to me that Si Jianlian was also a shining figure back then. Because of his outstanding innovation in his field of expertise, he was poached by many world giants before starting his business.

I've been a husband and wife for a long time, and I've forgotten the shining points he once had.

"Well, let's do it when the opportunity arises. I said.

Except for the characters in the official face that I am not familiar with, most of them have had several encounters. Recently, I have been going out every day to pull lists for KB, and if nothing else, the number of people I know is rising rapidly.

After everyone met, they simply greeted each other, but after two sentences, the topic became ambiguous, and inside and outside they were just concerned about whether Si Jianlian and I would get back together, and what was going on with Gu Yixiao and Sheng Qingjin.

In fact, there is no need to think of business people as mysterious, they are just like ordinary people, they are just lucky, they did not miss the opportunity when it came, and they made corresponding efforts to achieve it.

Other than that, everyone is the same. It's just that they care about this purpose is not just gossip, but to judge Feng Shui on the basis of this, and see which side they will benefit from getting close to them in the future.

I can see it clearly, think it clearly, and naturally I won't get angry. They played Tai Chi with and without a pair.

The women at the banquet are much simpler, praising each other, comparing themselves, chatting a few words, talking about their respective children, pointing out to you that so-and-so is coming with a little three, so-and-so has the best relationship with the original partner, and so-and-so's marriage exists in name only. couldn't talk, and after a simple and vain greeting, they dispersed. Fighting with each other's debasement is basically non-existent here. Everyone is a decent person, and they can't afford to lose this face. Even if you want to tear it up, you will make another appointment in private.

I have been paying attention to whether Gu Yixiao is coming, and Si Jianlian is also seeing if Sheng Qingjin is coming. Although we are companions, we also have a bit of a companion dream.

When the time came for the banquet to begin, everyone came in like a moon. Because there were so many people around him, we didn't see what the CEO of Consortium A was looking for.

The invitation reads that the global president of the Mystery Consortium will make an appearance.

Si Jianlian saw it first, the smile on his face slowly dissipated, the corners of his mouth hooked, and he said coldly: "It turned out to be him, the family dispute affects you and me." ”

Almost at the same time, I saw the people around me. In the middle is an old man of about sixty years old, with gray hair, good spirits, glasses, and a suit. The whole body exudes the aura of a person who has been in a position for a long time.

On his left was Gu Yixiao, and on his right was Gu Tianbao.

I don't know who he is, and I don't know him, but looking at his facial features, I can guess that this is also a member of the Gu family.

It turned out that the world's most famous A consortium was actually a Chinese. It is no wonder that as soon as he entered the Chinese market, people from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Commerce came.

The state values this company and hopes that he will make a difference in the country.

To be honest, what is important is his Chinese identity.

The old man pays attention to the fallen leaves and returns to his roots, and this time our side probably wants to keep him in the country. As long as others are in the country, a lot of business will also be brought back. I can imagine how much the state can overcharge each year in terms of taxes alone, not to mention the issue of promoting employment and Sino-US relations......

I can think of this right away, and it's also the nature of a businessman.

I think if the people above were given a choice, between Consortium A and KB, they would definitely choose Consortium A without hesitation. Therefore, things will be more difficult to do in the future, and as soon as they come back, they rely on their strength to sit firmly in the strong background and backstage.

I figured this out, and my mood immediately darkened.

Si Jianlian naturally thought of it, and sneered unwillingly: "With such a background, it's just cheating." ”

I felt the same way, but I couldn't comment because I saw Sheng Qingjin.

She was outside the core crowd, and her eyes kept following Gu Yixiao.

I also kept looking at Gu Yixiao, but the first person to see me was Gu Tianbao.

After he finished greeting with the old man in the middle, he squeezed out of the crowd and walked in front of me. He looked at the hands that Si Jianlian and I were holding together and said, "Yo, I figured it out, and I'm ready to join forces again?"

"I thought, she didn't agree. Si Jianlian let go of my hand and said, "She came today to prevent me from losing face." After all, your commercial spy rank is too high, and our relationship can't go back. ”

In front of people, Si Jianlian rarely does it, and this time I was unexpected.

Sheng Qingjin originally had a good impression of Gu Yixiao, and he was very persistent, and he was almost moved. However, Gu Yixiao couldn't look down on a woman like her, and her speculation was too heavy. No, in order to get close to Gu Yixiao, she can be regarded as letting go and accompanying the president for more than a year. Gu Tianbao said.

I really don't want to hear about that, this kind of topic.

However, I have to listen to it, after all, I didn't come to watch the pomp and circumstance of Consortium A.

"Then are you going to tell me next, Sheng Qing Jinsheng's child is Gu Yixiao?" Si Jianlian actually laughed at this time, and I was surprised.

Men and women, sure enough, are different.

"Mr. Si is really a smart person. Gu Tianbao gave a thumbs up and said, "I guessed too right, it was Gu Yixiao." As for how she got pregnant, we don't know. ”

"It's just that I'm being cheated on by a woman, I don't care. Si Jianlian said coldly.

The fact that he can say such things shows that he really cares. Thinking about it, Si Jianlian paid a complete home for her, left her children, established a company, and invested a lot of money, he has never told me the exact amount of investment in the past few years, I guess it is only more than six billion, and it will definitely not be less.

"That is, Mr. Si has a lot of money, and he has invested more than 10 billion yuan this year, just to make a girl, which is really a big deal. Your methods are comparable to those of the princes of the Beacon Theater, they are all proud!" Gu Tianbao's words were praise on the surface, but in fact they were derogatory, and they also had a bit of a taste of watching jokes.

On such occasions, he acted very unwisely. If he really provoked Si Jianlian, Si Jianlian, who has no position and is now pressed by the company, can do anything.

"I just found out today where the glory of Consortium A came from, it turned out to be the money from selling the watch. I admire it so much, it's really amazing to do this step of. Si Jianlian looked at Gu Tianbao, laughing, but very cold. And he spoke so bluntly and loudly that everyone nearby heard it.

Gu Tianbao saw that the situation was not good, so he was about to leave.

Si Jianlian wouldn't give him a chance to get out, he pressed his shoulder and continued: "By the way, Consortium A is sure that it is not the one who opened the kiln? It's not right, where do you sell women, and men also come out to sell? I just don't know, who is Young Master Gu selling to now?"

Gu Tianbao's face turned green.

He is smart and clever, but his experience is not as good as that of Si Jianlian, and he didn't weigh his own weight before talking nonsense.

"Mr. Si means something, but don't point it at me, but also point it at the people who come out to sell it. Gu Tianbao wanted to burn the fire on Gu Yixiao.

In that case, once the scene gets out of control, Gu Yixiao will not be able to escape the blame, and he will be able to reap the benefits of the fisherman.

"Why not, I remember that when my ex-wife was in the Black Moon, she met Young Master Gu soliciting customers there. Si Jianlian seemed to be smiling.

I said in my heart, and asked beautifully!

I'm divorced, and it's not ashamed to go out to have fun, but he's a dignified person from Consortium A to be a duck, where to put his face.
