Chapter Eighty-Nine: Cooperation
Lan Gu's cooperation proposal is the same as Xiao Man's.
It also makes me resist and get rid of anger.
Looking at her determined appearance, I couldn't help but feel a pang of sadness.
"What if I don't cooperate?"
I can't help but think about the possibilities of non-cooperation.
Until now, I had no idea what happened to her in the past.
What kind of interest entanglement does there exist between her and Xiaoman's so-called Jingguan, although I don't want to think about it, there is always a pimple in my heart that I can't let go.
Lan Gu would eventually find me, which I expected.
She offered to work together, which was completely unexpected to me.
I looked at her calm face, and I couldn't guess what was going on in her mind.
I had to sit down again and try to calm myself down.
Sometimes, after understanding the other party's bottom line, it is easy to calmly assess the situation.
"You won't refuse to work with me." , Lan Gu's expression did not show a trace of abnormality, it was not a threat, nor an exhortation, her tone was calm, and her face was still unfazed, similar to the expression of the previous chat.
"Oh, why?" , I was a little out of breath, her unhurried and unhurried look made me a little unconfident.
"Because you know that if you refuse to cooperate with me, your business in the capital will not be able to continue." With that, Lan Gu's expression changed, leaned back in the chair, and squinted her eyes.
Obviously, there's a threat in there.
After so many years of ups and downs in the business world, I am deeply aware of a basic principle of doing things.
It is very difficult for a person to survive and be full of edges and corners.
I chewed on her voiceover, yes, if I refused to cooperate, my fate in Beijing might be even more miserable than that of my hometown mining farm.
The reason is simple, and it's not hard to understand.
Lan Gu, who was born from the grassroots, has such confidence because of her current supporters.
The background of the people behind her is unfathomable.
This is the law of the jungle in the shopping mall, the law of the jungle, the winner is king.
In the huge business game formulated by Langu, according to the rules, I am just a small businessman at the bottom of the food chain, and it is a matter of a thought to be toyed with, or even eaten and swallowed.
Besides, since we had such an inexplicable emotional entanglement in the past, according to common sense, I am the person who should be kept out of the matter, and Lan Gu chose me to play the role of the game, no matter how I think, it is difficult to understand and accept.
"Why do you have to choose me? I'm too busy to take care of myself right now, and my business is struggling, so I can't afford to work with you. I weighed it for a long time and said my actual situation at present, and there was a hint of struggle and begging to let go in my tone.
"What do you say?" Lan Gu didn't answer me directly, and smiled.
Her smile made me feel unfathomable.
The mood is more complicated.
Her reasons are the same as Xiao Man's? Countering others in their own way?
They all think that Xiaowei and I are mortal enemies, and they know each other well?
They all think that my roots in the county are still there, and I can do things that others can't do?
I know if they all come to the same conclusion.
I'm currently riding a tiger, and it's useless to talk about it, only a wry smile.
In any case, such cooperation is a threat to me.
How can I accept that?
If it had been a few months ago, I might have gone away in a rage.
Now, however, my situation is completely different.
At present, there is no ambition to help, and the company still owes him a large amount of real estate cash; Lin Xueer returned to China to start a business and owed a lot of money, I have to pay it back, and we just got married, and our lives have stabilized, and I currently have a wife and children, and I have parents, and the burden of the family is all on me alone, and I have a bunch of people to support; The company's real estate business has been on the decline, and I am currently too busy to deal with my ambitions as a great country.
If, at such a time, something goes wrong, the company can't operate, and the capital chain is broken, my basic survival will immediately become a problem.
People are in the rivers and lakes, and they can't help themselves, this sentence, I have a personal experience at this time.
Lan Gu leaned back on the sofa chair, as if thinking about something else, and her eyes glanced at me from time to time.
I knew that my every move was under her eyes.
She probably knows me very well, right?
In comparison, a superficial person like me, a subtle movement will be peeked into her heart.
.......
The atmosphere was quiet and dreary.
We were at a stalemate.
"How about you, why don't you go back and think about it?" After a while, she said to me lightly.
Looks like she's reading my mind.
I know in my heart that Lan Gu should know everything about my current situation, otherwise she wouldn't have done it overnight and hit the nail on the head.
Sure enough, she turned around and took out a plush doll from the bag behind her like a trick.
Hand it to me, in a soft tone.
"This is my gift to your family Lin Xue'er!"
"If you don't dislike it, I really want to be the godmother of your future children."
With that, she giggled to herself, and there was an unnatural bitterness in her laughter.
I waved my hand and didn't take her present.
I laughed dryly.
"We received the heart, Lin Xue'er has no city, I don't know whether it is good or bad, you are such a valuable gift, we have no merit, so you should keep it."
My unexpected refusal made Lan Gu's smile freeze on her face.
Although she knew everything about me in the capital and seemed to know everything about my thoughts, she was unaware of my direct refusal.
For a while, the atmosphere was a little awkward.
She held the doll in her arm, frozen there, and it could be seen that she looked lonely and disappointed.
"You, do you take it?" , her tone became sincere and her attitude was humble.
"I haven't met Lin Xue'er, and I don't know what she likes, if she doesn't like it, I'll buy something else for her next time."
"No, no, that's not what it means, you think too much, my Lin Xue'er doesn't understand anything, there is no such thing as liking or disliking, I mean such a valuable thing, you should keep it yourself." , the more I explain the situation, the more complicated it becomes.
"Oh, you guy, how can you do this?!" , Lan Gu sat on the sofa, the doll in her hand was still on the side, and her emotions were out of control.
Her face changed, and she suddenly began to cry.
The thin shoulders shook and looked sad.
"I knew you looked down on me, that's why you're like this!"
She whimpered, and the more she cried, the more sad she became.
This situation was unexpected, and it was my turn to be at a loss.
I looked at her in alarm.
No matter what we've been through together, no matter what she does to me, we've had a skin-to-skin relationship after all.
Besides, whether it's true or fake, in the past time, we used to talk together all night every day, and we were such a woman, crying sadly and earnestly, and we would be moved if we were hard-hearted.
"I didn't, don't cry, I accepted the gift!" I stood up, leaned out, took the doll she had thrown aside, and placed it in my seat.
Lan Gu burst into tears and laughed.
"Then, you also agreed to the matter of cooperation?"
"This ......", I hesitated a little, after all, this is a matter of life and death, not a doll problem can be solved.
Doll, you can choose to give it up, or you can choose to own it.
The matter of cooperation is a choice, there is no turning back, the road ahead is unknown, and life and death are uncertain.
I can't see through Langu at present, and I can't predict the risks after cooperation, although the company is mine, but I have no right to decide the fate of the company alone.
Besides, for such a big matter, I have to discuss it with Lin Xue'er, she is my family.
I knew in my heart that if Lin Xue'er knew about my past with Lan Gu, and with her character of preferring to be broken rather than broken, the company might cease to exist.
For a while, I couldn't help but feel embarrassed.
"I knew that you wouldn't promise me, you didn't want to do things with me!" , Lan Gu has no posture of a strong woman, and is completely a coquettish look of a little woman.
She broke my heart like this, and I would rather she force me, so that, purely from a business point of view, I could achieve some favorable terms for myself.
"I knew you were going to have all kinds of ideas." , she continued.
"Actually, our cooperation, unlike what you think, will not eat you whole in one bite." , a pun, when Lan Gu said that she would eat me, she laughed and laughed, and the smile was very ambiguous.
Thinking of the lingering compassion we had together, my face couldn't help but turn red.
"We don't want your company, we don't want your funds, we just want your people, you can choose to keep silent to anyone, so that outsiders won't know that you are working in our company. You see, that's fairer to you, isn't it? ”
After Lan Gu finished speaking, she stood up.
"This matter, God doesn't know it, you don't have to mention it to your family, after the matter is completed, we will divide the account, and you can also choose to stay independently."
She regained her composure and began to talk about the situation for me, as if she were a completely different person.
I sat on the sofa, not saying a word, weighing the pros and cons, and at the same time, I also had a deeper plan for cooperation.
"Fight them, huh?"
I seem to be convincing myself as well.
"Who is Jingguan? Scary? Not necessarily, no matter how big the official is, no matter how dark the person is, isn't it also a person? ”
"How is Xiaowei? Now don't you also be a man with your tail between your legs, but now with the help of the power of Langu's cooperation, you can do him, maybe it's just right, and by the way, you can be ashamed! ”
"Don't you want to take advantage of me, and to treat others the way they do?
Okay, I'm going to let you know that I'm actually a double-edged sword! ”
Thinking of this, I can't help but be enthusiastic about my decision.
"Yes, let's do it!"
Working with them, it's just a big deal!
Thinking of this, I stood up and stretched out my hand to Lan Gu.
"You don't need to say it anymore, I promise to cooperate with you!"
Such a crisp reply made her surprised and delighted.
"Really?" She widened her eyes and looked me up and down like a monster.
I nodded.
Lan Gu took me in her arms like a little girl had received the candy she had always dreamed of.
"Happy working together!"
She murmured, a familiar body scent enveloping me.
At the same time, two lines of tears quietly rolled down her beautiful face.
