Chapter 58: The Temptation of Profit
"I'm sorry, I was too careless!"
Emily immediately apologized with an embarrassed face, and Jo Rachel was not angry, but asked with a smile, "Looks like you know her." Does Miss Ran come here often?"
She obviously knew from the information given by the private detective that during this time, Ran Xixi and Lu Qinghuan had a lot of contact, and as Lu Qinghuan's assistant, it was impossible for Emily not to know Ran Xixi.
However, Rachel Joe still planned to pretend not to know and take a look at her and Lu Qinghuan's reactions for personal verification and verification.
"Uh...... This ......"
Emily, who has always been articulate, didn't dare to answer her question directly because she couldn't figure out where Joe Rachel came from, for fear that she would say something wrong and bring unnecessary trouble to Lu Qinghuan.
"Xi Xi has been here with me. ”
Thanks to Lu Qinghuan's timely voice, Emily immediately said, "Yes, Miss Ran has been here, I have seen her." ”
After saying that, she hurriedly put away the tray and left in a hurry.
Jo Rachel narrowed her eyes, looked at Emily's slender back, and teased: "With such a beautiful beauty by your side, it's no wonder you can't find a girlfriend, presumably, any woman will be jealous, right?"
Her question stunned Lu Qinghuan, and he immediately remembered Ran Xixi, only to find that she never seemed to have discussed this issue with him. I don't know if she's really too confident, or if she doesn't care at all.
He thought, he probably didn't care. The more sensible, generous, **, and non-clingy a woman is, the more it means that she doesn't love you, and even she is ready to leave you at any time.
"Okay, let's stop talking that useless nonsense. ”
Qiao Rachel smiled, took a sip of coffee, and asked directly: "I heard that this time for the land bidding, except for you and the Zhan clan, several other companies are foils, which are almost negligible. In that case, can I understand that as long as you kill the Zhan Clan, you will be able to get that piece of land?"
After pondering for a moment, Lu Qinghuan nodded: "It can be regarded as this, if those uncertainties are avoided, it should be so." However, things are not as simple as you say, it is impossible for both parties to eat the land at a price of one wronged man, everyone thinks the same, and wins the bid with the least amount of money. ”
In addition, the land seller will also try his best to spread all kinds of fog bombs before the formal bidding to prevent the bidding price from being too low and the profit from diving.
These are very real problems, and needless to say, Joe Rachel understands.
But those uncontrollable factors are not in her consideration for the time being. She only cared about the situation of the Zhan clan now, because she couldn't put all her eggs in the same basket, she went to threaten Zhan Xingchuan and ask him to help introduce the new head of the Agnel family, but on the other hand, she still decided to take the initiative to come to Lu Qinghuan and drag him into the water.
One more ally means one more guarantee.
If one fails, there is another, and the double insurance reassures her.
"Don't worry about that for now, I'll just ask you, if I have a way to help you get the bidding price of the Zhan Clan, will you cooperate with me?"
Rachel Joe asked with a smile as she tugged at the corners of her mouth slightly.
Looking at her, it doesn't look like she's joking. However, although this condition seemed tempting, Lu Qinghuan would not believe her even a word, because he knew very well that this woman was not a good person, and if she was gullible, she would probably eat her to the point of not even bones.
Moreover, who knows if she was instructed by Zhan Xingchuan to come to talk?
Seeing that Lu Qinghuan had such and such doubts and precautions about herself, Qiao Rachel was not angry, if the other party didn't want to think about it and agreed to it, then she might have to worry a little.
"I know you're suspicious of me, and it's normal. First of all, I am not a representative of good deeds, I will not ignore the return, on the contrary, I want a lot of return. Secondly, since I have the confidence to sit in front of you, it means that I am prepared to do what I say. In the end, even if you promise me, you don't have anything to lose until you achieve your goal. But I'm at the risk that you won't be able to speak. You can think about the above three points and then give me an answer. ”
She was right, since she dared to come, it was impossible to fight an unprepared battle.
After hearing this, Lu Qinghuan laughed slowly, his upper body leaned forward, and his hands folded against the table, narrowing the distance between him and Joe Rachel.
"According to you, if I don't agree, I will become an ignorant person?"
Although there was a smile between his eyebrows, his tone was not very good, because Lu Qinghuan was also disgusted by threats from anyone else, no one.
Rachel Joe was also laughing: "It's not that I don't know what to do, I can just let a good opportunity slip in front of me." ”
As she spoke, she stretched out her hand, compared her middle finger and index finger, and made a "slippery" gesture on the table, which looked a little funny.
It was only at this time that Lu Qinghuan finally felt a kind of agility of a young woman in her twenties from her. Although she is the same age as Ran Xixi, in comparison, she is obviously much more aggressive and ruthless, and at a glance, she knows that she is a woman who is used to seeing all kinds of big scenes.
Working with such a woman, no matter whether you win or lose, you have to play with the spirit of twelve points, and guard against your teammates as if you were guarding against your opponent. This feeling is not very good for Lu Qinghuan.
However, he also admitted that he was not completely sure when facing Zhan Xingchuan.
For Zhan Xingchuan, it's actually the same.
They are like two evenly matched martial arts masters, the masters make moves, often success or failure is only one move, and life and death can be decided in a fraction of a second, and there is no dragging. In the same way, either of them can win or lose, and it is difficult to predict in advance, only five or five points.
If he chooses to believe Joe Rachel...... It's like having a powerful assistant.
"What are you going to do? Or, let me ask another way, what are you going to give me? As far as I know, Zhan Xingchuan's suspicion is very serious, and he has always been personally following the situation of this land, and the team in charge is also his henchmen, and outsiders can't even insert a needle. He guards against anyone, including you. ”
Filled with curiosity, Lu Qinghuan really wanted to know what Jo Rachel's plan was.
She just smiled mysteriously, reached out and stroked the wavy curls on her shoulder, and said lightly: "That's my business, I won't leak the secret in advance, isn't that interesting? Besides, it's my criterion to be a villain first and then a gentleman, if I dig out my heart and lungs to you and say everything, you kick me away instead, won't I lose my wife and lose my soldiers?"
Lu Qinghuan smiled, and at the same time, his gaze suddenly became fierce: "You think too badly of people...... However, it is also correct to think so. Because, people ...... It's really bad, even worse than I thought. It's like I never thought I could be like this in order to win him, and I'm willing to cooperate with you. ”
Hearing his words, Jo Rachel's eyes fluttered, she put down her coffee, got up straight, bypassed the wide desk, and walked all the way to Lu Qinghuan's side. Then, she gently placed a hand on his shoulder, kneading it lightly and heavily, mastering the strength very well.
"Seriously, if it weren't for the fact that I was married, I would have loved to ......"
As for what she "really wants", she deliberately did not continue to say the latter words.
Such a hint can easily make a man's heart flutter.
It's not that Lu Qinghuan didn't understand, he chuckled, moved his upper body to the side, skillfully removed his shoulder from Jo Rachel's hand, and stood up.
"Don't be a given, I hate that word right now. ”
He frowned, and suddenly remembered something, and asked her again: "Your father-in-law will be funeral tomorrow, why are you still in the mood to come to me today?" Speaking of which, everyone is now staring at the Qiao family, wanting to see what the next step will be. ”
Qiao Rachel withdrew her hand and replied nonchalantly: "Don't the two sons still know how to send their father to the end? ”
Having said that, she will not let go of this opportunity, she and Qiao Yanne are legally recognized husband and wife, but they have not been unanimously recognized by the Qiao family for the time being, Qiao Rachel needs a chance to appear in front of the entire family, and at present, Qiao Rin's funeral is the most suitable opportunity.
"After all, you are someone's father, even if you want to do something, you have to take into account Qiao Yanne's position and identity. ”
Lu Qinghuan kindly reminded that she didn't want her to help herself, so she parted ways with Qiao Yanne first.
"Are you concerned about me?"
After being stunned for a moment, a smile appeared on Joe Rachel's face again, and she reached out to straighten the collar of her shirt, and her tone was a little ambiguous.
He finally got impatient, slapped her hand off with one hand, and a trace of disgust flashed in his eyes: "I remind you, since we will meet again in the future, please pay attention to your behavior!"
Rachel Joe wasn't annoyed, and sighed, "You can't really be gay, right?" I heard that those gossip magazines say that......
Lu Qinghuan laughed angrily: "You don't have to deliberately provoke me, this trick is useless." How did this world become so horrible that you were guilty of even cleaning yourself? Even if you had the same face, I wouldn't treat you as her and make such a low-level mistake. ”
The last sentence offended Qiao Rachel a little, she was not angry before, even if Lu Qinghuan opened her hand.
