Chapter 373: Understanding
Murong Manying was surprised, looked at his hands, and burst into tears for a while. It turns out that these hands can be used to play the piano, play chess, and eat elegantly, but also can be used to fight, with their own hands, to be like a man, to face those inevitable battles in life!
At this moment, Murong Manying made a decision, when he went back, he must dismiss the mecha master in his family and find a pilot who can really teach him mecha skills. He is not afraid of difficulties, hardships, or criticism, what he wants is the self-confidence to hold his destiny tightly with both hands, the courage to go from behind the scenes to the front of the stage and face all difficulties, and the hearty feeling in the machine battle! Murong Manying told Li Dong everything about the situation at that time, and of course hid some of his mood at that time.
Li Dong listened, frowned, was silent, and nodded with a serious face after a while.
"It seems that you really should give me half of your property. "Strictly speaking, it wasn't you who saved me, but I saved you, if I hadn't sacrificed my life, perseverance, and courageous struggle, you kid wouldn't have been able to escape the sad end of being bombed to scum in the end.
Murong Manying didn't expect that after listening to a large part of the narration, the guy in front of him still thought of getting some benefits from himself, so he couldn't help rolling his eyes and looked at the sky speechlessly. Can you still be a little more shameless?
Li Dong nodded, a hippie smile. Yes, my shamelessness has always been unlimited.
Murong Manying sighed. It's a waste of emotion, it's really incomprehensible, I actually felt that this shameless rascal at that time seemed to feel something. Now, all I feel is the obscene smell that fills the ward, and even the ventilation fan can't empty it.
If he could, Murong Manying would definitely be like Li Dong, and then raised a big middle finger at the latter, expressing his contempt from the bottom of his heart.
However, Murong Manying, who had a good upbringing, had not been polluted to this point by the big hooligan in front of him, and at most the corners of his mouth pulled out a trace of ridicule, which of course meant that he still despised and ignored it, but there were many gentlemen who were coming, and there were many politenesses, and the harm to Li Dong was much smaller, almost negligible.
"The Murong family does owe you a favor. A graceful and luxurious voice suddenly sounded, Murong Manying and Li Dong turned their heads in shock, only to see a middle-aged woman with an extraordinary temperament standing at the door of the open ward, and next to her, standing was Shaobai, a guard who was sent out to buy drinks. The latter looked at Murong Manying on the hospital bed with an embarrassed and bitter expression.
Murong Manying immediately understood Shaobai's hesitant words and deeds at the beginning, it turned out that his injury had already been known to his mother.
"Mom. Murong Manying frowned, then stretched out and shouted.
And the Murong family, who had already walked in on his own and revealed a powerful aura in his words and deeds, was really in charge, Murong Lan, nodded, and the kindness on his face was just right.
(As explained here, although it is a Mohan clan, due to the influence of the customs of the Star Alliance, after marriage, generally speaking, the woman will still change her surname to the man's.) )
Li Dong, who was watching the play on the side, raised his eyebrows. Good guy, it seems that Xiaobaimian and his mother are not models of mother and son filial piety, it may be too much to say that the two are not right, but they are far from reaching the attitude that a mother and son should have, and both sides are too cold.
I saw Murong Lan put her hands crossed in front of her lower abdomen, bowed deeply to Li Dong, got up, and said, "Here, on behalf of the entire Murong family, I would like to express my greatest gratitude to Mr. Xia. ”
Li Dong didn't dodge or dodge, just narrowed his eyes and looked at this middle-aged woman who didn't look simple at all with scrutinizing eyes.
This made the guard Shaobai, who was watching from the side, frowned, very dissatisfied, but in view of the presence of the young master and the master mother, there was no part for him to speak, and he could only curse the arrogance of the Eastern Empire in his heart, and no one in his eyes came to vent his dissatisfaction.
Murong Manying didn't speak, he didn't even look at anyone in the room, he was alone, and looked fixedly at the wall opposite the hospital bed, as if he could see flowers on it.
"How do you know?" After a while, Li Dong asked without a clue.
Murong Lan smiled, her style was not inferior to that of a girl, but it had a unique mature self-confidence that a girl lacked: "Murong family, it's just that there are more friends." "The friends of the Murong clan are all over the universe. Perhaps, there is something that the chairman of the Amway Society of the Star Alliance does not know, and the presidents of Mondstadt, Van der Xi, and Edward do not know, but there are only things that Murong does not want to know, and there is nothing that Murong cannot know.
At the beginning, when Li Dong had just revealed the energy mine title deed in his hand, Murong Lan received first-hand information, and conducted a meticulous investigation of this seemingly bold, stupid and ignorant young man, and clearly knew his real name, which was just the first step in the beginning of everything.
"Oh, that's good!" Li Dong twitched the corner of his mouth, and said without being salty. I scolded in my heart, what a big breath, does my aunt eat garlic for lunch? It's like a rich man who says that he is poor and only has money left. You must know that his identity, even in the Eastern Empire, few people can really dig up some useful information, because he is involved in the trial of the princess, so the information is completely protected by the royal court sweatshirt.
In the hands of the Shenwu Empire's royal court, how much energy does this Star Alliance First Family possess?
Murong Lan sat elegantly and generously on a chair close to the hospital bed, and looked at it with her eyes, this time Shaobai was clear, this was the eyes of the housemother who wanted to talk about business, bowed obediently, walked out of the ward, and closed the door.
"I want to go to the toilet. Murong Manying said stiffly, ignoring the anger on his face at the moment, he walked straight to the luxurious toilet.
Li Dong smiled. Little white face, my impression of you is completely sensual. couldn't help but glance at Murong Lan, this was a very scheming woman, as soon as she came in and saw herself and Murong Manying talking and laughing, she intentionally or unintentionally pulled her son to the same front. Sitting on the edge of the hospital bed is a gesture, but unfortunately, her son did not give her this face.
"I think, you want to talk to me about the middle galaxy of the Shenwu Empire, the energy mines on those planets, right?" Li Dong smiled, although it was a question sentence, his tone was extremely affirmative. He clearly knew that Murong Manying was still young, and he might befriend him because of his temporary preferences, but the woman in front of him, sitting in the position of the head of the first family of the Star Alliance, was not young, if he didn't see the use value, even if he saved her baby son, at most he would have condolences and give a few million credits, it would definitely not be like this.
Murong Lan was stunned. Characters at her level generally don't say things so directly, even if they have something they want, they will make a few detours. This is not superfluous, the words are obscure, and there are many ways to understand it, but things change afterwards, and you may also choose those explanations that are beneficial to you, which is similar to those lottery activities or something, always marked with "the official has the right to the final interpretation".
"The Murong family has a certain experience in the operation of the energy market. Murong Lan still decided to guide the other party and said something more subtle.
Li Dong didn't eat this, snorted disdainfully, and turned his nose to the sky: "This is now, I think my value, and I don't need to sell melons by myself." As far as I know, you currently occupy more than 60% of the Covenant energy market and 4 to 50% of the entire universe. However, if, when the Middle Galaxy War ends, and I give the energy mine in my hand to your Murong family's opponents, your supremacy in this market will not be guaranteed. Of course, all this is based on the fact that there are no similar energy ore rich ore galaxies found in the whole universe. "So, don't play with me, Lao Tzu is the one who really dominates now.
"Mr. Xia's words are very interesting. Unexpectedly, Murong Lan smiled and took a sip of tea gently, "However, all your prerequisites are based on the victory of the Eastern Empire in the war in the middle galaxy. "If the Western Empire wins, or if this war falls into a perennial stalemate, then the land in your hands is still worthless. Young man, believe me, the strength of the Murong family can completely influence a war between two middle- and lower-class countries.
Li Dong nodded. I know that those families in the Star Alliance are not comparable to the moth-like nobles in the capital area of the Shenwu Empire.
"Since you know so clearly, then you should also know what I did when I was in the Supreme People's Court of the Star Alliance. "It's just to prevent an old fox like you from letting that news out. Introduce more competitors to a market, and the water will be muddy, and only when the water is muddy can you fish.
Murong Lan lowered her head, drank tea, and did not speak, but Li Dong could see the shock and suppressed anger in her heart, and smiled. I'm sorry, aunt, if you hadn't been so strong at first, I might have given in a little bit, but I know now that if I did, you would be pressing, and in the end, I wouldn't have a place to stand.
"If I want to negotiate, I will only negotiate with Murong Manying, and even if it really happens, I will only ask the entire industry to be under Murong Manying's supervision in the future. Li Dong said suddenly.
Murong Lan suddenly raised her head, her eyes full of surprise and disbelief. She thought that the negotiations had reached an impasse, but the other party suddenly threw an olive branch.
"I'm a government official, not a businessman!" Murong Manying, who was originally in the toilet, walked out and said with a straight face.
Murong Lan's face suddenly froze. She didn't expect that as the other party in the negotiation was relieved, her son would dismantle his own platform at the most critical moment.
