"Okay, if there's anything you want to ask, you can ask now."

I took a deep breath and asked, "What the hell is going on?" How could Li Zhengtang agree to such a condition that was extremely unfavorable to him? ”

Lin Lan smiled faintly: "This question is very simple, with your understanding of Li Zhengtang, under what circumstances is he willing to suffer?" ”

"In his disadvantage!" I replied very simply: "Li Zhengtang is such a stubborn person, and he is willing to suffer this loss, which means that there must be something in your hand that can threaten him, so he has to agree to your conditions." ”

Lin Lan smiled: "That's right, Li Zhengtang has no way to agree." ”

"What is the reason?"

"Think about it, Yin Ran, think about it yourself. Only when you come up with the answer yourself can you truly show your ingenuity. ”

I walked back and forth in the room a few times, frowning, "Is it because of that 35% stake in Mak's hands?" ”

Lin Lan smiled: "This is just one of the reasons. ”

I let out a long exhale, "I see, the most important reason should be your ally, right?" Yuan Feigongzi, and the Chinese Entrepreneurs Association behind him! ”

I said while thinking about it: "Yuan Fei's shot disrupted my plan and Li Zhengtang's plan, originally the two of us were just going to act in a play, and neither side would break our muscles and bones." But Yuan Fei's shot made Li Zhengtang really uncomfortable, and it also made him suffer huge losses. Li Zhengtang is indeed underfunded, if he had sufficient funds, he would have confronted Guan Bo head-on, and he would not have used our plan at all! Yuan Fei's sudden attack caused Li Zhengtang to suffer losses. The problem now is to join Yuan Fei and MAK to join forces to acquire again, then Li Zhengtang may be really dangerous. So in this situation, he has to accept your unequal treaty! ”

Lin Lan smiled: "The analysis is basically correct, except for some small details. The general situation is indeed like what you say. But the problem now is that although Yuan Fei is on my side, Li Zhengtang is not afraid that we will really turn our faces. Because he knows we're not going to turn against him. Just give us a little benefit. If we really turn the other cheek, even if we can defeat Li Zhengtang, we can only lose both. MAK doesn't have any funds anymore, and although Yuan Fei is willing to help us, he won't be generous enough to throw his money into the water! His investment will also be rewarded. I signed a secret agreement with the Chinese Chamber of Commerce, promising them something. But if I ask Yuan Fei to continue to help us fight with Li Zhengtang. The price is too high. ”

I said, "So, the reality now is that both beasts are screaming and intimidating each other, but they themselves are also injured, and it is impossible to fight anymore, and if they continue to fight, everyone will have to finish together." Even if it doesn't end immediately, I'm afraid it won't be able to recover in a few years! So although you intimidated Li Zhengtang, you actually knew that you didn't have enough strength to defeat him, and although Li Zhengtang was jealous, he wasn't really afraid. ”

"That's right!" Lin Lan said with a smile: "So, since we can't fight anything, everyone will simply sit down at the negotiation table to negotiate the conditions." ”

"Alas!" I sighed heavily: "It's too complicated, friends suddenly become enemies, and enemies suddenly become friends again." ”

Lin Lan smiled: "In the mall, this is very common. ”

I closed my eyes and thought about it for a moment, then asked, "Then why did you let me be the president?" ”

"It's a little more subtle." Lin Lan smiled: "Even if I have Yuan Fei's help, I can't completely intimidate Li Zhengtang, and I can't force him to make greater concessions." After all, that's a CEO's seat! Nominally, it still has the right to operate Aodeh. Although Li Zhengtang is at a disadvantage, he will never be willing to be cut off such a large piece of meat by us. ”

"So you're just going to push me out?" I sneered.

"That's all I can do, my dear." Lin Lan said with a smile: "If I send someone else, or I myself to be the executive president, Li Zhengtang will definitely swear to die, even if he fights with me, he will not agree, but if it is replaced by you, it will be different." Bottom line: Li Zhengtang thinks that you are his person, so he feels that you are the president, but in fact he takes advantage! ”

I looked down at the floor and couldn't say a word.

Lin Lan smiled faintly: "But you have to know that you are mine!" At most, we all have people! If there is one person who can be between us, then that person must be you. You are now the president, and it is in the common interest of both of us! It's exactly what we all want – balance! ”

"Haha!" I burst out laughing, looked at Lin Lan viciously, and said extremely coldly, "Yours? His? Am I just a pawn in your hands for you to fiddle with? ”

Lin Lan's face was not very good-looking: "What, don't you have the guts?" ”

"Nope! You're wrong. I shook my head, my tone softened, and I smiled faintly: "If it was a few months ago, I would flatly refuse you, but now, I promise you!" ”

Hearing this, Lin Lan frowned slightly and asked, "What do you mean?" ”

I slowly walked up to Lin Lan, stared at her, and lowered my voice, "It's nothing, because I'm no longer the same person I used to be." Lin Lan! Now I don't want to be rash anymore, I've changed, now I, and you, Li Zhengtang, and all of you, the same hypocrisy, the same artificiality, playing with the heart, hehe, I like it too! Like a neurological patient, I asked rhetorically, "You sue me, there is a benefit to be gained in front of me, why should I refuse?" This is a great deal for me personally! ”

Seeing my vicious gaze, Lin Lan seemed to be a little unbearable, took a step back, and whispered, "Yes, I'm sorry!" She suddenly lowered her head. When she raised her head to look at me again, she already had tears in her eyes: "Actually, I understand that you don't love me, and I also know that you will hate me more and more, and be more and more afraid of me." To be honest, I don't like this outcome, and I don't want to, but I. I. ”

Looking at this woman who had become a little weak, my heart softened, and the endless anger and resentment in my heart disappeared in this instant. Maybe a minute ago, there was still a trace of anger in my heart towards Lin Lan, but now, this inconspicuous anger has come to naught. In any case, she is only a woman after all.

I walked up to her and gently patted her tender shoulder: "Lin Lan, we are not wrong, what is wrong is this world, this hateful world." ”

Lin Lan's body went soft and lay in my arms all of a sudden. I subconsciously put my arms around her shoulders and hugged her quietly. My mind was empty, my mind was blank.

This must be my first hug with her, the first time.

I looked at the face on the opposite window, when did my face become so cold? I don't remember exactly, but I felt a pain in my heart.

I wanted to push Lin Lan away, but Lin Lan hugged me all of a sudden, and she whispered: "Yin Ran, you hug me, I beg you, hug me, give me a little warmth." What happened today has made me bear a lot, me. ”

Her voice was hoarse and slightly choked.

I know that she has cried, looking at the woman in front of me, who was still very strong just now, she has become so fragile in an instant, maybe only at this time is she who is the real her, a real woman.

I suddenly remembered that today she is indeed very different from ordinary women, not to be outdone, she defeated the other party, and used extremely superb means to control the power of the board of directors in her hands, all of which reflect that she is a strong woman. However, the heart hidden in the hard shell is so soft after all, indicating that she is just a little woman.

Lin Lan cried for a while before she finally stopped crying, she slowly pushed me away, wiped the tears on her face, and said with a faint smile: "I'm sorry." ”

I shook my head, "It's okay. I took out a tissue and gave it to her.

Lin Lan looked at the tissue in my hand, then at the soft expression on my face, and said in a low voice: "If one day, you can always treat me like this, even if I die, I am willing." ”

My heart struck.

Is she telling the truth? Is that what she really thinks?

I was stunned.

I know that every time I am with her, there will be a hint of a plot between us, as if there is always a kind of emotion between me and her, but I have always felt that it is a means that she uses to control me, besides, she and I are boyfriend and girlfriend in name, although it is acting, it is inevitable that the fake drama is really done, and there is a trace of feeling between the hearts.

But what I didn't expect was that just now, this woman actually said such a straightforward thing in front of me.

I had mixed feelings in my heart, Lin Lan in front of me, this gentle and lovely woman, this woman who was both extremely smart and cunning to the peak, actually showed such a weak side in front of me.

I was so confused that I didn't even dare to look at her anymore.

Lin Lan seemed to see my strangeness, her eyes quickly dimmed, and finally, she slowly recovered again, becoming the woman who was invincible at the beginning.

She whispered: "Yin Ran, believe me, this is the last time I beg you, you help me this time, this is also the last time, from now on, I will never ask you to do anything for me again." ”

I nodded: "Don't worry, I've promised to help you." But what I care about is that in the future, after helping you this time, can I go back? Can I go back with my family? ”
