Chapter 135, forced to a dead end
"Ahh Shen Xingyue's eyes widened and she stared at him in a daze!
Li Mu drank all the liquor in the cup, and said bitterly: "In fact, it's not that I'm sticking to her, but she's sticking to me, after I'm willing to compromise, she will neither remarry me, nor let me go, I don't even figure it out, what is her purpose in torturing me?" β
"Such a pervert, Brother Mu, are you telling the truth?" Shen Xingyue couldn't believe Li Mu's words, if what he said was true, how could it be torture to describe this kind of behavior, it was simply torment!
"To be honest, I don't want to believe that this is happening, but it's very real to me, and I always feel like I'm dreaming, but that painful moment reminds me that I'm not dreaming, I'm going through an ordeal."
Li Mu didn't hide anything from Shen Xingyue, they were both first love and old classmates, they had a deep emotional foundation, they knew each other well, and it was easy to open their hearts to each other.
Shen Xingyue poured him full of wine, picked up the wine glass, and gently touched the glass with him.
"Come, I'll drink with you!"
"You can't drink it, don't be reckless, just drink water and accompany me."
"It's okay, I'll drink slowly!"
Shen Xingyue took a shallow sip, this time she didn't show an exaggerated expression, as if she had adapted to the spicy nature of the liquor!
"Do you know what my heart desires?"
Li Mu didn't know why, she didn't know why she suddenly came up with this sentence, and subconsciously asked, "What is it?" β
"My grandfather left me a field, a yard, and I always wanted to go back there with my beloved man, plough the land and farm the fields, and I longed for that simple life."
Speaking of this, a pair of beautiful eyes stared at Li Mu tightly: "Brother Mu, do you think my wish is very naΓ―ve?" β
Li Mu shook his head: "A wish is a wish, no matter whether it is noble or lowly, it is not mature or naΓ―ve, it is happiness when it is realized, and it will always be a wish if it cannot be realized!" β
"That's a good point, Brother Mu, are you willing to accompany me to farming?"
"Yes!" Li Mu replied without hesitation, "I'm also tired of life here, and when I have a chance to get out, I will definitely accompany you to farm and work as a long-term worker for you!" β
Shen Xingyue smiled coquettishly, and both of them had a hint of feeling, as if they had returned to the campus, back to that carefree and innocent era.
After laughing for a while, Shen Xingyue waved her hand and said, "Okay, don't tease me, how dare I let you do long-term work, please be a landlord?" β
After finishing speaking, his face turned red instantly, and Li Mu also felt a little embarrassed, so he hurriedly changed the topic and asked her, "This, since you know the situation, do you still want to cooperate with me?" β
A trace of disappointment flashed on Shen Xingyue's face, but she immediately returned to normal, and said generously: "I want to cooperate with you both in public and private." β
"Well, can you tell me?"
"Yes, Yu Gong, such a big list, although we can eat it, but we don't want to raise a group of people for it, the reason is very simple, it is profitable in the short term, and it is unprofitable in the long term, so it is better to find a powerful enterprise in the local area to achieve a win-win situation."
Li Mu nodded, what Shen Xingyue said was exactly the same as he thought, if Weihua Company wants to obtain the greatest economic benefits, the most effective way is to minimize the cost, find a local partner, outsource the service and part of the development tasks, and they can basically sit back and wait for the money.
Dongyang is the largest local IT service provider, and of course it is the best choice for partners.
Shen Xingyue continued: "Yu Zhi, because of you, I don't need to explain the reason! β
Li Mu nodded again, he understood the meaning of Shen Xingyue's words, there is a love, there is no contradiction between old age and death, when he sees his first love in trouble, it is human nature to reach out and pull a hand, if he is changed, he will choose so.
"Did you already know that Lin Wan was going to target us?"
"Yes, I was very curious about this, and I also secretly inquired about it, and then someone showed me that video, and I knew that she was your ex-wife."
"Well, let's not talk about that, how do you want to cooperate?"
"Consortium bidding, such a large project, users will not refuse consortium bidding, we will jointly bid together, with Weihua Company as the main body, after winning the bid, it will be divided proportionally."
Li Mu shook his head and said with a wry smile: "It's useless to do this, she will block this road, and it will make me want to borrow the road!" β
"I don't believe it, if she does that, it will be too targeted, I don't believe she dares to be so blatant."
"Don't believe it, okay, I can accompany you to try it, when will they bid!"
"Tomorrow the tender will be issued!"
"What?" Li Mu said in surprise, "So fast, as far as I know, the specification has not yet been drafted, what bidding will they take?" β
"Don't get me wrong, tomorrow is the bidding of candidates, they will divide this project into several bids, pre-recruit candidates first, and only the shortlisted candidates will be eligible to bid!"
Understood, a good means, first circle the candidates, once the shortlist is set, no matter how much Dongyang Company flutters, it will also lose the qualification to bid, it is really ruthless!
"I agree to cooperate, although I am not optimistic about the results, it is not impossible to give it a try!" Li Mu said frankly.
"You can rest assured, we participated in the whole process of the specification writing, and the concept of mutual integration gateway was first proposed by Weihua Company, and they did not dare to exclude us!"
"I don't dare to exclude you, but I dare to exclude us, look, I am not optimistic about the result!"
The result of the bidding was as Li Mu expected.
When the loophole in the tender was discovered, Shanyang Company casually found a reason to announce the scrapping of the bid, and re-tendered a few days later.
Shen Xingyue was sorry for this, but Li Mu comforted her not to take it to heart, this result was the ending he had expected, and it further confirmed his judgment that Lin Wan was not doing things right.
At this moment, He Xiaoyu's father and daughter have returned to Shanyang, after knowing the results, they reluctantly accepted the facts, the company's senior management held an emergency meeting to discuss countermeasures, Li Mu asked for leave and did not participate, He Yang knew that he was in a bad mood, and authorized him to go home to rest for a few days and relax.
Li Mu finally made up his mind that it was time to solve the puzzle, and although this decision would be painful and heartbreaking, he had no choice.
He must act before the bid is opened, so that the bidding process can be suspended and Dongyang will be able to gain a chance for the company.
On the night of getting the bid, Li Mu went home early, and he was ready to have a complete showdown with Lin Wan, sacrificing himself in exchange for Lin Wan's mercy.
Until Sister-in-law Hong beckoned him to eat, Lin Wan hadn't gone home yet.
Sitting at the dining table, Li Mu couldn't help but ask, "Does she have another dinner tonight?" β
"Well, there's a leader from the headquarters, and she needs to accompany her for a meal, and she can't go home later!"
"Is that the suitor?"
Sister-in-law Hong put down her chopsticks and scolded him: "Are you too sensitive, even if you are, Xiaowan will not change her mind, don't you want a small belly and chicken intestines, okay?" β
"Sister Hong, you are older than me, I have always respected you and trusted you, in my mind, you are like my big sister!"
Sister-in-law Hong smiled: "Don't bring me a top hat, say it, what do you want to do, say it, don't kiss me secretly!" β
Li Mu grinned, got up and poured a glass of water for Hongsao, and after sitting down, he said seriously: "I know that even if I work hard for a lifetime, I can't surpass Xiaowan's position in your mind, so I have never asked you to treat me well, but I really hope to make friends with you, and I want to talk openly and honestly with you like a friend." β
Sister-in-law Hong took a sip of the water cup and said to Li Mu: "Okay, let's talk openly and honestly like friends!" β
Li Mu nodded, and said thoughtfully: "Sister Hong, do you think that Xiaowan and I are suitable?" β
Sister-in-law Hong was stunned, she didn't expect Li Mu to ask this question, and after hesitating for a moment, she still answered honestly: "Xiaowan must have her thoughts on this question, if I ask me to answer, it is neither suitable nor suitable, it is not that you are not good, but you are not all the way, this is what I said in my heart." β
"Thank you for your honesty, your answer is the same as I expected, in fact, my answer is the same, I love Xiaowan, but I don't deserve her, I can't give her the life she wants, she can't give me the life I want, I'm living a miserable life now, I can't wait to die!"
Sister-in-law Hong frowned, she didn't expect that Li Mu's pressure in her heart would be so great, she suddenly felt pity for this man, and felt that she shouldn't have suppressed him so hard.
"You want to leave Xiaowan?"
"Yes, but I dare not leave her, because she has children, because she is taking care of my parents, I dare not turn my back on my responsibilities, I dare not be an unqualified father. But what I don't understand is that what she wants to torture me, can she be satisfied while watching me suffer? β
Sister-in-law Hong was a little afraid to look at Li Mu, as the initiator, she knew the source of Li Mu's pain, and she began to doubt whether her suggestion was correct, would she sacrifice the happiness of Miss's life by honing her uncle like this, and in the end, would Miss hate her for the rest of her life because of this.
"Li Mu, you may have misunderstood her, Xiaowan still loves you, there are some things you don't have to think too complicated, you will get better slowly, I promise you."
Li Mu shook his head and said in a low tone: "I wanted to have a good talk with Xiaowan again, but I didn't expect her to come back tonight, maybe this is the will of God, so we don't have to talk about it anymore, sister-in-law Hong, it's time to correct the mistake." β
Sister-in-law's body shook and couldn't help but ask, "How do you want to correct your mistakes?" β
"Please forgive me, I really can't live this kind of life anymore, I am determined to leave my job, and then go to a strange place, I want to start my life again, even if you call me a deserter, I can only choose this way!"
"You are so weak, I really misread you!" Sister-in-law Hong shouted angrily.
