Shanghai has been rainy lately, with few sunny days, and the sky is often shrouded in gray and gloomy.

The windows on the second floor of Gu Yuan were open, and cold air was coming in, and the indoor temperature was slightly lower. A pot of tea is simmering on a small fire on a wooden round table in the lower left corner of the window, and the tea is boiling and overflowing with wisps of steam, adding a touch of warmth to the cold air and adding a fragrance of tea to the room.

"Is it still smooth?" Gu Shaoting raised his hand and took a sip of the hot tea in the cup, his eyes staring at the steam rising from the teapot on the table, slightly distracted.

Zhou Yong raised his eyes and looked at Gu Shaoting, lowered his eyes and waited for a moment before replying softly, "Second master, the information is almost complete." If it is sent out, the Su family will probably not be able to support it for a day. As he spoke, he raised his head and glanced at Gu Shaoting, cautiously tentatively, "Second master...... Do you want to continue?"

"Of course we have to continue. Gu Shaoting put down the teacup, looked out the window and smiled lightly, "Because the person I'm waiting for hasn't come yet." ”

Zhou Yong nodded immediately, "Yes." But he stood still for a long time. Gu Shaoting looked at him sideways, smiled and raised his eyebrows, "What's the matter, is there anything else?"

"Second master......" Zhou Yong was a little embarrassed, hesitated for a moment and finally spoke, "The general seems to be paying attention to us recently. Gu Shaoting was not surprised after hearing this, "This is called pulling a hair and moving the whole body, it seems that some people can't hold their breath anymore." He slowly turned the teacup in his hand, as if he was in a good mood.

Zhou Yong seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and his voice was calmer, "Where is the general......" Gu Shaoting's eyes deepened, and his voice was slightly weaker, "The old man is not such a person who values affection and righteousness, he is just taking care of his own interests by doing this." ”

Zhou Yong glanced at his face and couldn't help but be silent.

"Zhou Yong. Gu Shaoting put down the teacup and stood up, his face was slightly cold, "Prepare the car, go to the military headquarters." ”

Zhou Yi stood upright, "Yes." ”

It's almost early winter, the weather is cool, the streets are a little deserted on the way, and there are only a few lively hawkers left on weekdays.

Gu Shaoting walked into the hall of the military headquarters, and a soldier in a neat uniform greeted him, and quickly stood upright, and his voice was eager, "Young marshal, there is an important call." Gu Shaoting glanced at him, did not stop, raised his feet and walked in, the little soldier actually caught up, and stood upright, his face was very embarrassed, "Young marshal...... It's a leased line. ”

Gu Shaoting frowned slightly, and continued to walk forward, Zhou Yi stopped the little soldier behind him, his eyes were sharp, and he shouted in a low voice, "I don't want to live anymore!" The little soldier was frightened, "Adjutant Zhou, that special line is ......"

"Do you think the second master doesn't know, I want you to worry about it!" Zhou Yong glanced at him, raised his hand and patted his collar, and ordered, "When the call comes, you will directly answer the internal line of the second master's room." The little soldier looked happy, nodded hurriedly, and went down.

There was no sound in the room, Gu Shaoting raised his hand and lit a cigarette, and the phone rang. As soon as he raised the corner of his mouth, he reached out to pick it up, and the moment he connected, a majestic voice immediately came from the other end of the phone, "Stop what you're doing now." ”

Gu Shaoting took a puff of his cigarette and asked softly, "What does father mean?" Gu Wei sighed suddenly, "Nianzhi, the time is not yet ripe." Hearing that Gu Shaoting didn't speak, he continued to enlighten, "Your Uncle Li called me this morning and said that you are too young and vigorous...... Nianzhi, I don't blame you Uncle Li for saying this, and I can't guess your intentions for doing this. ”

"Father, don't worry, I have my own measure in this matter. Gu Shaoting's face was expressionless, and he said lightly, "Uncle Li, I'll bother you a lot." ”

Hearing him say this, the other end of the phone finally relieved, "It's good that you have measure." After that, he instructed again, "You also know that the Li family can't move now." ”

Gu Shaoting raised his hand and hung up the phone, he stared at the phone and took a deep puff of cigarette, reached out and pressed his forehead, and then relaxed his body and leaned back, with a faint tiredness on his face.

It was almost evening when he returned to Gu Yuan after finishing military affairs, and Gu Shaoting got out of the car and hadn't walked a few steps when he saw a person standing at the door. Dressed in a dark blue cheongsam, with a black fur collar on his shoulders, he has a calm and elegant temperament. Seeing him coming over, the man smiled and bowed his head slightly, "Second Master Gu." ”

Gu Shaoting couldn't help but smile in his eyes, as if he welcomed her arrival very much, and Zhou Yong, who was standing beside him, immediately turned sideways politely, "Mrs. Su, please." ”

The sky was slightly dark, and the lights on the second floor of Gu Yuan had been lit up.

Gu Shaoting poured a cup of tea and handed it to the person opposite, "Mrs. Su came to me, but what's the matter?" The woman opposite slowly took a sip of tea, raised her eyes and looked at Gu Shaoting quietly, "I heard that the second master is a person who acts upright, so I won't beat around the corner." I heard Jin Feng say that the second master seems to be more concerned about the Su family's business recently. ”

Gu Shaoting gently rubbed the wall of the cup with his fingers, and smiled quietly, "Mrs. Su also knows that the national government only issued new rules and regulations on July 1, aiming to promote healthy competition in the business community and protect the ...... of small and medium-sized businesses" Saying that, he suddenly glanced at her meaningfully, and then slowly spit out four words, "Legal profit." ”

Mrs. Su clenched the teacup tightly when she heard this, and her voice suddenly colded, "It seems that the Su family is really going to be handled according to the rules, the second master thinks that with the current situation, the Li family will sit idly by." ”

Gu Shaoting smiled and raised his eyebrows, "Mrs. Su thinks my goal is to lose both?" He shook his head, raised his eyes and stared at the other side tightly, his voice was low, "Mrs. Su is willing to make a deal with me." ”

Mrs. Su frowned lightly and looked at him with doubts in her eyes. Gu Shaoting leaned back on the sofa a little, and his voice was affirmative, "If you agree, I won't touch the Su family's business, and you have enough time to fill the loopholes, how about it?"

Mrs. Su thought quietly for a moment, then looked up at Gu Shaoting, and her eyebrows couldn't help frowning even tighter. At the moment, it seems that there is no other way, the current situation of the Su family is already vulnerable, although there is the Li family as a backer, but it cannot be completely relied on and trusted.

She thought about it and secretly stabilized her heart, looked up at the opposite side, and her voice was slightly deeper, "Second master, please speak." ”

The wind made the glass on the window rattle slightly, and the sky was already dark. Gu Shaoting raised his hand and drank the cup of tea in his hand, and his voice became softer, "I want to be alone." ”

The empty teacup revealed a fine light and shadow, he looked at it intently, as if he thought this object was very good-looking, and after looking at it for a long time, he clenched the teacup slightly, and a rare gentle smile appeared on his face, "It's just that I have to trouble Mrs. Su and let her come to me willingly." ”
