Chapter 614: The Heart Has a Soul
The staggering consumption, the red and green lights, and the overflowing aroma of wine have become a good place for three big men to spend time at three o'clock in the morning.
Gu Muhan was trapped in the box by Edward and Elantra and refused to let go.
The dark red liquor, the crystal clear goblet, dazzled their minds.
Those two heartless guys chatted about women and football in front of him, and they didn't put his current depression at ease, but I don't know why, looking at these two old friends who have known each other for ten years, his heart was inexplicably moved.
Friendship between men sometimes only requires a simple look or companionship, and he is grateful that they stepped up to help him and share the burden for him in his most dangerous times, although he sometimes has a bad temper and is mean to them!
"GU, come on, bet on the ball, idle is idle, I'll sit in the bank, start with one million, and if you win, you will pay for the wine tonight, and I will give you the opportunity to kill the banker!" Elantra looked at him and smiled, the glass in his hand clanging on the table to attract his attention.
Gu Muhan's eyes moved, and he changed his face to a cold arrogance, holding a transparent crystal goblet and shaking it in the air, and there was a hint of ridicule in his eyes.
"I'm afraid you'll lose your money, don't gamble!"
This kind of talk is not like really not participating, but it is more provocative, Elantra saw that there was a play, and Edward had a tacit understanding of sitting from the table over there with a wine bottle, and the three of them sat in a position of three kingdoms on the corner sofa at this end, sandwiching Gu Muhan in the middle, with a forced posture.
Edward took a sip of wine, shook the dashing blonde hair in front of his forehead, and said with a smile, "If you vote for that team, I will follow that team, and let him lose everything!" ”
Oh, interesting!
A hint of banter slipped over Gu Muhan's eyes, and he glanced at Elantra.
The guy really changed his face, but obviously his surprise and anger were directed at Edward, at that end the two of them had already been allied, and when they arrived here, Edward actually jumped back into battle, and he was really hurt by these two pitfalls.
The situation has become two to one, but he is a man after all, how can he mix up after not showing some courage?
"Okay, I'll make a bet with you!" Elantra raised his sword eyebrows, and the untaminess was completely revealed in his bones.
He rolled up his sleeves in a dignified manner, "Just wait for the second round of the Copa America to start, Bolivia and Uruguay you can choose any one, and the bet is arbitrary." ”
"Random? You haven't said your gambling method, whether to guess the net ball or just guess the win or lose, let's place a bet, I have never seen you such an unprofessional bookmaker! Gu Mu sneered.
Elantra smirked twice, the glint in his eyes disappeared in an instant, and he laughed, "You can see through this too, it's boring!" Well, guess the goal, play bigger if you want to play, guess me one to five! ”
Gu Muhan let Edward decide, but he shook his head unconfidently, "I'm good at playing electronics, and I'm a layman when I gamble, I don't feel that there is much difference between these two teams, it's hard to guess!" ”
The ball was thrown to Gu Muhan again, he thought for a moment, and was about to place a bet, when the mobile phone on the table suddenly rang, he looked at the caller ID on it, Junyan immediately condensed, and walked out of the box with the mobile phone.
"What did he do?" Looking at his hurried back, Elantra asked Edward, who knew a little Chinese, curiously.
"I only saw one dignitary...... You want to know, just wait for him to come back and ask if he can't! ”
Elantra snorted coldly, turned the subject back again, and encouraged Edward to bet, because he didn't understand, so he had a good chance of making a mistake.
Edward also drank a few more glasses, his mind was not so clear, and he was fooled by a few words and chose a Uruguay two-to-one.
The two turned off the music on the big TV, switched to the sports station, and began to follow the game.
After about ten minutes, Gu Muhan returned to the box, the look on his handsome face swept away the previous haze, his charming smile was faintly revealed, and he took the initiative to ask the waiter to open two bottles of 54-year-old Cabernet Sauvignon produced by Mordang Haojie Winery, and the price of each bottle reached 100,000 US dollars!
Seeing him so generous, the first feeling that came to the minds of the two men who were screaming around the stadium on the TV was that he was crazy!
Except he's crazy, of course, it's that he's happy!
Finally, there is something that can make Elantra temporarily put aside his "net worth" to pay attention to it.
"I'm not mistaken, why are you so generous all of a sudden?"
Gu Muhan glanced at the two curious babies, and he didn't intend to hide it from them, shook his mobile phone, and said domineeringly, "There is no way to get your Orland Island Development Pass." ”
Elantra's eyes lit up, who is so good that he can help them solve the current thorny problem at once?
He hurriedly turned off the TV, sniffing the two bottles of top red wine, and asked, "Tell me, where is sacred?" ”
Gu Muhan felt extremely relaxed when he sat back in his original position, his deep black eyes reflected the flickering lights, which were so deep that they were unreal, but the smile on the corners of his lips was extremely clear.
"It was Minister Xue, the leader of the peak, who just called me and asked me about the seven-star hotel in Hainan, praised me for doing a good job, and asked me if I was interested in doing the next one, so I casually mentioned Åland Island to him, saying that he wanted to build another one on the island, and it was my partner who had a little problem with the approval of the permit on the French side. It's also a coincidence that he is going to accompany the leader to France tomorrow for a three-day state visit, and let me take you with me to attend! ”
"Oh, it turned out to be the big boss, no wonder it was solved!" Edward patted Elantra on the shoulder, playing with the taste, "Then you shouldn't feel pain if you lose tens of millions more tonight!" ”
Elantra glared at him angrily, "Crow's beak!" ”
After being with them for a long time, this kind of talk comes as soon as you open your mouth, and you don't even have to think about it.
What he was thinking about now was something else, another detail in Gu Muhan's sentence.
"GU, you said that those people are eyeing your seven-star hotel, isn't that a conflict with your plan?"
Gu Muhan's hand holding the wine glass paused slightly, and the light in his eyes fell silent.
Yes, my previous thoughts were attracted by the events of Åland, and I did not notice that the development of Hainan itself was actually in conflict with Åland's plan.
Edward didn't understand, and hurriedly asked, "What do you mean?" ”
Gu Muhan glanced at him, his thin lips hooked, he drank all the red wine in the cup, and said with a smile, "It's okay, it's a small problem!" ”
Elantra didn't like him to hide his good friend in front of such a major matter, although he knew that Gu Muhan's original intention was just to make Edward worry, but from the standpoint of his friend, he believed that Edward would rather be troubled than be hidden.
He stretched out his long arm, hooked Edward's shoulder, handed him a glass of freshly poured red wine, sighed and said, "The seven-star hotel in Hainan was originally used by Gu to make money, and when the time comes, he will let Zhiyan Luke go bankrupt, let this plan die, and use the astronomical amount of money to build Åland Island." This would have been a very secret and private matter, but tonight's phone call means that the leader of their country is paying attention to his usual business movements, and if he dares to let the hotel disappear, the leader will immediately talk to him, and it would be good if he can get through it smoothly, but at the same time, he has lost the opportunity that leaders like today, and it is not easy to use such a relationship in the future. However, if he does not proceed as planned, the construction of Orand Island will fall into a vicious circle of lack of funds in the later stage, becoming commonly known as 'Unfinished Island', and everything he has paid for it will be in vain, not to mention the utopia in his heart. Of course, when he mentioned Åland to the leader today, it wasn't necessarily that no one had beaten him, hey...... It would be a cliché to let an island that was originally very pure from now on with a layer of political and business titles, and if you were given a vacation to an island full of commercial implications, would you choose to visit it a second time? ”
"Is it really that complicated?" Edward looked at Gu Muhan in surprise.
The big hand waved casually, as if to drive away those annoying thoughts, but this extremely simple action revealed extraordinary hesitation.
"It's okay, I'll take care of it." Gu Muhan lazily fiddled with the cup in his hand, the previous irritability had been driven away by himself, and a demagogic smile once again appeared on his handsome and unusually handsome face.
Elantra squinted at him, "Okay, what can you do about it?" ”
"In short, now Åland is just passing by, but it is not, the rose in the wind and rain, pitiful!"
Gu Muhan really wanted to kick this short-eyed man to death at this moment, "I really didn't find out that you are a man of his word, I will say a sentence about you!" ”
Elantra didn't understand this, but Edward did, and with a snort, the liquor spurted out of his mouth, covering Elantra's sinister face.
Elantra immediately screamed exaggeratedly, sat down beside Gu Muhan again, and depressedly pulled a tissue to wipe the dripping wetness on his face.
Edward smiled apologetically at him, put his big hand around him, and apologized very sincerely, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to, I just didn't expect him to burst out like this." ”
Elantra smirked at Edward, gracefully removing the skinny he had glued to himself, his eyebrows furrowed, "What did he just say?" ”
"Four words!" Edward laughed.
"What the hell is a four-word word?"
Edward frowned, "Uh...... It's called an idiom! ”
"Bullying me for not knowing Chinese, isn't it?"
"It should be!"
…………………………
Xiao Jian pushed the door in, and the first thing he saw was the empty bed, and then the little person who was hugging his body and hugging him in the corner.
The expression on her face at the moment was full of panic and helplessness, and there were tears on her beautiful little face, as if she had just cried something......
He frowned, put away the sympathy that came out of his heart, and prepared to go over and tell her about what the boss had told her.
"Don't come here!" Lan Wanyu's eyes didn't look at him, but she knew that he was approaching, and her voice was extremely cold.
Xiao Jian paused slightly, but this action was briefly negligible, he came to her, bent down beside her, and just stretched out his hand towards her, she was like she had been bitten by something, and the whole person shook violently, and then pushed away the defenseless Xiao Jian, and ran towards another corner.
"You're all bastards, get me out, get out!"
Xiao Jian frowned when he heard this, looking at her petite body but roaring violently that was completely different from her image, which made people pity and wonder at the same time.
"What's wrong with you?"
She clenched her fists and yelled vigorously, "Do you care what happens to me?" Didn't you tell the guy surnamed He that you would keep me safe? Then why did you let those men at the door come and spoil me, just like that, you still want to cooperate with me, it's a pipe dream! I'm telling you, if I'm done, don't think about it for any of you! ”
I don't know if I was frightened by her ruin words or cooperation, Xiao Jian's face flashed with panic, and he asked urgently, "You mean, those people harassed you while I wasn't there?" ”
No wonder she had that frightened look on her face, no wonder she cowered in the corner, those bastards!
To put it bluntly, although he is the one who participated in the kidnapping, what he wants is to be loyal to the boss, what the boss wants is money, and no one has thought about what to do to Lan Wanyu. In addition to the opposing identities of the two parties, he and Lan Wanyu are both from the same country, and subconsciously there is a kind of woman who can't look down on his country being bullied by foreigners, which will have a very inexplicable sense of national justice in his body.
He rushed out of the room without saying a word, and soon there was a sound of fighting in the hallway, and the sound of hand-to-hand combat and screaming was so clear in the early hours of the night that it was difficult to hear!
Lan Wanyu's mouth opened slightly, at first she didn't understand what Xiao Jian was going to do, and then she was worried about his safety, after all, those thugs outside were all five big and three thick, and the muscles that were trained horizontally were afraid that he could beat anyone alone, he didn't know what he could do.
But why did he rush out and beat people?
Could it be that this heinous kidnapper is still overflowing with love?
A raccoon dog, just pretending. Later, she comforted herself like this.
In the sky, a thunderclap suddenly fell, and the winter rain was coming, and the bursting raindrops smashed the glass windows, and the huge sound of rain completely drowned out the fight outside the house......
When Xiao Jian came back, he had a few more bruises on his face, his eyes didn't know where to go, and the left side of his face was also swollen to the sky, as if he was stuffed with a big meat bun in his mouth, and the blood vessels under the skin were bursting, a blue and purple, and there was blood on his forehead......
He grinned and limped over to her.
Really fighting, Lan Wanyu couldn't help but slip a trace of warmth in her heart, and couldn't help but stand up, staring at him with big beautiful eyes, not knowing what to say, but thinking that if it weren't for them, she wouldn't have suffered these days, and her compassion immediately took it back, and she sneered gloatingly.
"I didn't expect you to have a conscience to discover, but I'm grateful to you."
Xiao Jian can understand her cynicism at the moment, it is nothing more than anger. He also smiled self-deprecatingly, and actually pulled the bruises on his face again, and cried out, "It's painful for me, can you help me bandage the wound?" ”
"Can't!" She refused without thinking.
He nodded knowingly, and sat down on the couch in that position, his eyes closed, panting heavily.
Lan Wanyu stood from a distance and looked at him vigilantly, after encountering the incident in the middle of the night, even if Xiao Jian hung up for her, he was still a man who would pose a threat to her, and it was better to guard against it.
Xiao Jian rested for a while, took out a piece of paper from his pocket awkwardly, shook it in mid-air, and motioned for Lan Wanyu to come and get it.
She didn't move, just watched what happened.
Xiao Jian sighed lightly, crumpled the paper into a ball, and threw it in her direction.
"My boss said, let you call Gu Muhan tomorrow, just according to what is written above, you are not allowed to make your own opinions, let alone make a code, once you find out, you will bear the consequences!" When he said this, he pointed to the door, and no matter how stupid anyone is, he should be able to understand what the consequences are!
"Despicable and shameless!"
Lan Wanyu scolded angrily, hurriedly picked up the paper ball, unfolded it and looked at what was written on it, her expression suddenly changed, shocked!
"You want me to ask Mu Han if he wants his own shares?"
These people are really delusional!
Xiao Jian's fingers that could still move freely were on the armrests of the sofa, and he was beating the rhythm for a while, as if he was thinking about something, and he replied for a long time, "Didn't you say last time that you didn't ask him for money after marrying Gu Muhan, the boss said that it was a friendship to help you get what belonged to you, and it had nothing to do with the plan he wanted to implement, don't worry!" ”
Lan Wanyu snorted coldly, did he think she would believe it?
She is not illiterate, she no longer understands the mystery of doing business, and she knows that such a thing as shares cannot be divided casually, besides, she doesn't ask Gu Muhan for money, it is also her willingness, even if she is abandoned by him in the future and she can't get anything, it doesn't matter, who wants a weasel to help her, the uneasiness and kindness are obvious, and dare to say that it has nothing to do with his plan, it's ridiculous!
"I don't need to!" She refused coldly, and her beautiful little face was full of arrogance.
"Don't be so quick to refuse, you have a day to think about it. Isn't it good for a woman to have some capital in her hands? What love is more expensive, it's all a lie, only money will not betray you and make yourself live well! ”
Lan Wanyu changed her previous attitude and looked at him with a smile, but the words she said still stubbornly made people want to go crazy, "Although we are poor people who are despised by you, we also live with dignity, and we do need money to live a good life, but those money must be earned by ourselves, otherwise, no matter how much money I have, I will be despised, this is my principle of life." So, please tell He Lao, I understand his kindness! ”
As she spoke, the paper ball in her hand drew a beautiful parabola in the air, and fell into the trash can with great precision, just like her attitude towards things at the moment, crisp and neat.
