"I can't throw away my bottom line for the sake of a moment of peace."

Hearing this, Old Man Mo slowly relaxed his body and continued to lean back on the chair: "At your age, you can have such an opinion...... I kind of understand how relieved the old Lin Tou is. ”

"Let's get back to our topic, you came today just to ask me to help you deal with those people?" Old Man Mo asked.

"No, that's my own business, I'm here today for something else." Lin Ran shook his head unexpectedly and denied his idea, "I want to ask you to help me check someone, but I can't let people know...... That's what I want to look up. ”

"Who has so much energy that you can also secretly investigate?" Old Man Mo joked with a smile.

But Lin Ran lowered her head and played with the bracelet in her hand, with contemplation in the corners of her eyes and eyebrows: "The youngest son of the He family, He An." ”

"He An......" Old Man Mo frowned, "How do you think of his little son who has nothing to do with these things?" ”

Lin Ran finally raised his head, and there was no hidden edge in those beautiful eyes: "It has nothing to do with it? If he really has nothing to do with any of this, then why does everyone know only a little bit of information? ”

"It's okay, this matter is not a difficult matter, and it's time to let others know which side the Mo family is on." The old man thought for a while and agreed, but then, he stared at Lin Ran again: "But there is one thing, I also want to ask you." ”

Lin Ran nodded: "You say." ”

"What did you do to make He Dehou trust you so much?" Old Man Mo's gaze was inquiring, "That old fox is not going to trust you easily. ”

"It's nothing," Lin Ran calmly met the gaze of this old man who had watched him grow up since he was a child, "He Dehou wants to maintain his current status, and what I promised him is that I will not touch the things that belong to him here." Although he is an old fox who is about to become a sperm, but after all, he is old, and he just wants to be safe now. ”

The content of this conversation between Lin Ran and Old Man Mo was destined to be known only to the two of them, and Mo Zhi in the company didn't close his laptop until the evening, closed his already sore eyes and asked, "Is Huang Mo here?" ”

Yin Jiang, who had just pushed the door in, said in a deep voice: "No, she has already gone out with the documents." ”

Mo Zhi nodded: "In that case, Yin Jiang, do you know what day it is?" ”

"Old Man He's birthday banquet." Yin Jiang knew that his immediate boss wanted to ask this, and his face was still expressionless, "You also received an invitation." ”

His usual smile appeared on Mo Zhi's face: "Ah, the invitation." ”

He took out a red invitation from the drawer at hand and put it on the table, and pointed his beautiful finger on it: "Don't you say that I forgot about it." ”

Yin Jiang and even his boss's bad taste, if he could forget such a very important matter, they would be able to clean up and go back to their respective homes to sleep obediently, the expression on the tall man's face did not move at all: "So are you going to go, it's still too late to drive over now." ”

"Although I am very sorry for asking Mr. He who went out of his way to find out where to contact me, it is a pity that I did not plan to go there from the beginning." That's what he said, but Mo Zhi's words didn't mean that no one could hear a trace of apology, "I still want to relax and go out to eat." ”

When it came to going out to eat, Mo Zhi couldn't help but think of that night, the night when he went out with Lin Ran and enjoyed a candlelight dinner like an ordinary couple.

"Then what do you mean......" Yin Jiang finally showed a slightly puzzled expression.

Mo Zhi, who came back to his senses, continued to laugh with a calm and breezy look: "I originally wanted Huang Mo to show up, but since she is not here, then forget it." ”

He didn't wait for Yin Jiang to respond to him, so he stood up, looked at the huge map of Yancheng hanging behind him, and said: "Although Old Man He is old, his energy in Yancheng is still very large, even those people from the family who are hostile to him want to sell him some face, and his birthday banquet can be said to be a gathering of the entire Yancheng forces." ”

"In that case, although we don't go, we can't help but give gifts, can we?" He turned his head, a smile in his eyes.

But that smile made Yin Jiang feel a chill to the bone, and he sorted out his thoughts: "But we ......"

"And since you want to give a congratulatory gift, you must give a big gift." Mo Zhi stretched out his hand and drew a circle on the map, "Inform those brothers who don't know how many days they haven't taken vacation, it's time to close the net." ”

Yin Jiang's whole person instantly sobered up because of Mo Zhi's words: "Is it the line of the Xia family?" But it's not the right time. ”

"The best time, do you think that since Lin Ran has asked Su Mingyi to stop in this matter, she will move her hands and feet so obviously?" Mo Zhi asked Yin Jiang rhetorically, "I didn't suddenly understand what their idea was until today, although Su Mingyi was ostensibly using his own route to help the Xia family take this batch of goods, but the route used, to put it bluntly, is He Dehou's line in the final analysis." The Xia family planned to use this batch of goods to pull the Lin family, or at least Lin Ran, into the water, but they missed how smart Lin Ran was, and just when everyone was waiting for the so-called best time, she had quietly withdrawn herself from this matter. ”

"But even if she has the first hand in this game, how can she determine who is the real winner until the end of the game?"

Yin Jiang answered, and immediately turned around and went out to arrange everything, Mo Zhi slowly walked to the chessboard placed on the small table on the other side of the room, looked at the black and white chess pieces standing silently on both sides, and stroked one of the knights with his fingers.

"Now that you've finished the beginning," he whispered to himself, "I'll help you finish the game, Ran." ”

The good-looking fingers picked up the chess piece and moved it forward slightly.

How the storm surged the night before was not a big deal for Lin Ran, after all, the people who could be involved were all big families with many years of foundation, and even if they really suffered any impact, it would not be shown in a while.

Until all the classes were over that day, Lin Ran didn't think about anything unrelated to her studies.

After a day of class, Lin Ran, who had long been accustomed to high-pressure study, was also a little in a trance, Ji Xin happened to walk out in a hurry, and when he saw her like this, he patted her: "What do you think?" ”

"It's nothing," Lin Ran looked up at Ji Xin's dress and the people around him, a little strange, "Isn't it dark, why do you student unions still have to run out?" ”

"I'm going to send a group of questionnaires temporarily, just about college students' activities in their free time at night," Lin Ran, the senior sister who came to find Ji Xin, also knew, holding a large stack of questionnaires, and said a little helplessly, "Actually, it's not the work of the student union, it's the homework of our class, but it's too urgent, and there are not enough people, so don't you borrow Xiaoxin to support?" ”

Lin Ran knew that this was also the only way for the freshmen of the student union, helping the seniors to work, and leaving a good impression was equivalent to making these people more impressed by herself in disguise, she turned to Ji Xin: "Did you tell your uncle and aunt?" ”

Ji Xin rolled his eyes without caring about it: "They know, this is still my uncle said, I am idle and idle, instead of running outside, it is better to do something to serve the people, I suspect that it is the job that his old man personally found for me." ”

patted her shoulder sympathetically, Lin Ran understood that her cousin and aunt were still a little angry about her falling in love with Bu Changping.

But at three o'clock in the morning that day, Lin Ran was woken up by the harsh sound of the phone, she squinted her eyes and stretched out her hand to grope for a while: "Huh? ”

The person on the other side said something quickly, and the more Lin Ran listened, the more shocked he became, and he sat up: "Uncle, you said slow down, Xiao Xin hasn't gone home yet?" ”
