Chapter 10: The Great Quagmire
Early the next morning, Lin Yao also rushed to the address He Ming gave her, which was a café with a quiet environment.
The private room at the end of the hallway, with a glass window on one side, and a lawn and lush woods outside.
A middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes, sitting on a sofa chair with his back to her, looking out the window, heard footsteps behind him, and did not make any movement.
Lin Yao could only stubbornly walk to the side and sit down, the moment she saw his face, Lin Yao was also stunned, it was Qi Xingli's father, Qi Batian?
In his early years, he was the president of the Qi family, and later gave the position of president to Qi Xingli, and it was rumored that he had a deep affection for Qi's mother.
didn't expect that the person He Ming wanted to see would be him, and Lin Yao also knew very well that Qi Xingli helped her on the surface that day, but it was actually more like humiliating and punishing her.
"Lin Yaoye?" Qi Batian's voice couldn't hear any emotion, but Lin Yao also felt that he was a little overwhelmed.
"Yes." Short answer.
Qi Batian didn't speak, just stared at her like a torch, Lin Yao was also a little flustered, but on the surface, he pretended to be calm, and cold sweat continued to ooze from his palms.
Looking at her appearance of neither humble nor arrogant, but also calm and composed, Qi Batian had a trace of admiration in his heart, and if he were someone else, he would have panicked a long time ago.
"Mr. Qi, I am very grateful to Liye for coming to the rescue at the cocktail party that day." Lin Yao also hesitated for a long time but said it first.
In fact, after the news of the cocktail party came out, Qi Batian had already sent someone to check on the matter of Lin Yao and Qi Xingli, and in his opinion, she was no different from those women who wanted to cling to the Qi family.
They just want to be the wife of a wealthy family.
Qi Batian's face was a little gloomy, and Lin Yao could also see that he still had a grudge about the matter of the drinking party in his heart.
"Nothing happened to me and Liye that night, I was drugged and sent to Liye, please don't misunderstand." Lin Yao also explained that she didn't want to have much intersection with these people living in the upper class.
As long as she can live a peaceful life and be with her family, it is enough.
"The person who asked you to come here must have told you what to do, I have only one condition, you go to be Fan Boru's secretary." Qi Batian didn't drag the slightest bit and went straight to the point.
Hearing Fan Boru's name, Lin Yao's body trembled, that person she didn't dare to look at again in her life, but now Qi Batian asked her to be Fan Boru's secretary.
As early as when the Lin family was not bankrupt, the business rivalry between the two Fan Qi families had already entered a white heat, and Qi Batian wanted to let himself be Fan Boru's secretary, but he actually wanted her to be his eyeliner and help him keep an eye on Fan Boru.
But what kind of person is Fan Boru? It only took three years to support the entire Fan Group, and it took only three years for Fan to develop from a small company to a multinational company.
There are subsidiaries of Fan's Group in more than a dozen countries, and its industrial chain is countless.
At that time, she also heard that someone infiltrated Fan's as a secretary, wanting to steal the secrets in Fan Boru's hands and sell them to other companies to make a profit.
But when he succeeded, the police had already arrived, arrested him red-handed, and then sentenced to life.
What kind of strength is Lin Yao himself, and how can he beat Fan Boru? Find all kinds of reasons in his mind to make Qi Batian change his mind.
Before the words could be spoken, Qi Batian took the first step and said: "The matter of the hotel, Xingli thinks that you just want to climb his bed, climb the dragon and the phoenix, and dislike you to the extreme, if you go to Fan Boru's side, he will not suspect that there is cooperation between us, this is one of them." ”
One sentence blocked Lin Yao and had to retreat, so that she couldn't refute Qi Batian's meaning, he made it clear that he was determined to go to Fan Boru's side by himself, how could he give up easily?
"Second, you are very smart and have a degree of advance and retreat, and no one is more suitable to cooperate with us than you." Qi Batian said with an indifferent smile, but that smile made Lin Yao's back cold.
The two Fan Qi are two business giants on an equal footing, and she can't afford to provoke either side, not to mention that she may be recognized by Fan Boru as the person who was sent to his bed back then.
This is simply a huge quagmire, the situation is treacherous, once she chooses to agree to Qi Batian's conditions, it means that she is on the opposite side of Fan Boru.
In commercial competition, no one can grasp who will die, and the victory or defeat is only between the day and night.
The battle between the two families completely began, and she couldn't get out of it at all, and for a while, Lin Yao didn't know how to choose.
"I believe you are a smart person, you can weigh it clearly, as long as you are willing to agree to my conditions and cooperate well, then we are friends, and I can help you in anything." Qi Batian said.
Lin Yao could also hear that Qi Batian was referring to her father who was still in prison and her frail mother, who couldn't fight these people and couldn't afford to offend.
If she rejected Qi Batian, Lin Xinan might not be able to get out of the prison gate in her life, and her mother was already weak and thinner because of Lin Xinan's imprisonment.
"I'll give you time to think about it, and then answer me when you've thought about it." Qi Batian took a sip of the coffee on the table, and waited patiently for Lin Yaoye's answer.
Lin Yao also sat on the sofa chair as if she was sitting on pins and needles, her hands clenched into fists at her sides, saying that she was asking her to consider, but in fact, she had no choice at all.
A vulnerable group like her has always been a pawn in their hands, which can be used for it or discarded casually, and if she makes any mistakes, the Qi family will dissociate themselves from her and let her be a scapegoat.
No matter what the result is, the Qi family is unscathed, and for her, this condition is tantamount to a life and death decision.
"I promise." Lin Yao also squeezed out a sentence from between her teeth.
When Qi Batian heard this, a satisfied smile appeared on his face: "I really didn't look at the wrong person, you are indeed a smart person, since we are already cooperative friends, in return, I will take care of your family, so that you can cooperate with us with peace of mind." ”
Then he put a bank card on the table and pushed it in front of Lin Yaoye.
After Lin Yao finished speaking, she only felt that she no longer had the slightest strength in her body, but she still had parents and children, and they all needed her.
Even if she really fell to that point, at least it would be enough to protect them.
After Qi Batian got Lin Yaoye's answer, he didn't stop any longer, got up and left the café, and Lin Yao also walked out of the café door in a daze.
I only felt that the sun was particularly dazzling, and my eyes hurt.
