Chapter Ninety-Seven: The Mask

I hid in the corner, and the conversation between the two women was very real.

However, their conversations with each other, I could hear that, in the eyes of me, a person who knew the inside story, were all mixed and defensive.

Xiao Man obviously knows the history of Lan Gu well, and he also knows the story of Lan Gu and me well, but he pretended to be surprised by Xuan's revelations, which cannot but make people suspicious.

Xuan obviously knew that I was not easy to deal with, but she completely ignored my existence in front of Xiao Man, and the appearance of despising the enemy was also unexpected.

I know I'm stupid and slow, but I'm not stupid X in their mouths.

The mall is like a battlefield, and everyone's attitude and actions matter.

However, the two sides that have decided to cooperate are still wearing masks and are suspicious of each other, and the prospects for cooperation are worrying.

It seems that Xuan's ambition is not limited to regaining the management of Guangtou Building, and Xiao Man is even more unwilling to play a supporting role in the whole game.

What about Lan Gu?

This woman is so deep in the city that I can't fathom her at all.

Although Xiao Man and Xuan secretly formed an alliance, and they both knew her situation very well, what were the odds of winning?

Who can guess the final outcome of the secret contest between her and Jingguan?

Inadvertently, as the rain stopped, the sun peeked out from behind the clouds, and the bright sunlight lit up the streets again.

On the road outside the window, pedestrians were bustling again, and Xuan and Xiaoman had left the café and disappeared into the flow of people.

I stood up and prepared to leave.

At this time, the phone rang.

The caller ID was from Xiaowei.

I thought about it, now is a critical period of negotiations, and the best strategy is to avoid this cunning guy.

So I set the phone to vibrate, threw it in my handbag, and let it ring.

The streets after the rain, the air is fresh.

Walking on the road, my mood is also much better.

Although they are relaxed, Xuan and Xiaoman, who have just overheard their comments on themselves, whether they are true or not, still affect their emotions a little.

I've always cared a lot about what others think of me, and this has affected my accurate judgment of things to a certain extent.

In fact, all people are like this, and they are very much in the accident world to give feedback on the effect of the details of their actions, but everyone reacts differently, and some people hide more deeply.

In reality, everyone wears a mask, and on weekdays, they live behind the mask, and never easily show sincerity and honesty to people.

It is precisely because everyone wears a mask that people often live in hypocrisy and deception most of the time, taste all the flavors of the world, and are tired of life.

I refused to answer Xiaowei's phone call, and I also thought about my own situation.

chose to cooperate with the Langu Group, and now the situation seems to have become complicated, is it to cooperate with the group himself, or to work for Langu personally?

Lan Gu is very smart, and I chose to compromise in desperation.

It depends on the situation, and in the end, a clear choice has to be made.

Am I not one of those who live behind the mask?

Am I not a hypocritical businessman?

Am I not a common man who should be despised?

In my mind, I have returned to the hotel before I know it.

The secretary was walking anxiously in the hall downstairs, and as soon as he saw me, he immediately greeted me.

Looks like she's been waiting for me for a long time.

"Big country manager, your phone has been unable to get through, I'm dying!"

She spoke quickly, her face flushed.

I remembered the phone that I threw in my handbag to mute the settings.

Subconsciously took out the phone and glanced at it.

The secretary was right.

In just ten minutes, in addition to Xiaowei, there is also a string of her incoming call records in the missed call list.

"What's wrong?" , I asked lightly.

"The brothers are so compromised!"

"I don't know if their chairman Xiaowei called you, they agreed to our business plan to use land to acquire the brothers' good industries, and the group notified me and asked me to find you to sign an agreement with the brothers' good group on behalf of the group!"

Her face was bright, and it was clear that the secretary thought it was great news.

"Oh!" I nodded.

I couldn't help but be a little surprised, it seems that I misunderstood Xiaowei's original intention of calling me.

His phone turned out to be an important message to inform the brothers and sisters to admit defeat!

Acquisitions are so easy?

Xiaowei confessed?

In this way, the star of the county's business rookie has fallen?

If this is the case.

You can imagine Xiaowei's state and mood at the moment.

After more than ten years of hard work, all the wealth was turned into two wastelands in the end!

What a helplessness and sorrow.

I even sympathized with Xiaowei a little, although he didn't miss his childhood friendship at all and ruthlessly suppressed me.

Anyway, in the mall, he is also a good businessman!

However, some of the details exposed by the whole incident made me a little baffled.

Acquisition of such an important business activity, I am solely responsible for an outsider?

If it was an important person in the group who sought me as a scapegoat in order to avoid being tracked down, the unlucky guy rushed to the front.

Well, the thing has worked out.

Such an important signing ceremony was also entrusted to me with carte blanche, and the group leaders did not even show a face, which sounded and looked very strange.

The secretary kept following my ass, the expression on her face was clouded with joy, and she seemed to be in high spirits all the time, completely oblivious to my gloomy face and contemplative state.

"Manager, look, when is this signing ceremony scheduled?" She asked me with a flattering face.

"I know, you go back, I'll tell you later!" , I said coldly.

The secretary seemed to notice the abnormality in my face and behavior at this time.

She looked at me in some surprise, respectfully stopped what she was following, and stood there as if she were stupid.

I ignored her and walked straight to the elevator.

I had just walked to the door of the room, and I was about to open the door when the door to Xuan's room opened across the room.

"Alas, the boss of the big country is back!" The woman greeted me with a smile on her face.

The expression on his face was a little strange.

"Oh yes, just went out for a walk!" I turned around and smiled politely at her.

He scolded in his heart.

"Damn, Lao Tzu not only went out for a walk, but also saw you and Xiaoman mingling together, heard the secret conversation between you, and knew that you were secretly scolding me!"

Xuan bared her teeth at me and smiled ugly.

"The secretary should have informed you, right? The acquisition was successful! Congratulations to you as the general manager of the group! ”

Her smiling appearance made her look hateful.

I didn't bother to talk to her anymore.

replied lukewarmly: "I should congratulate you, congratulations on taking over the brothers' mansion soon!" ”

With that, open the door and walk into your room.

The room was dimly lit and the curtains were closed.

On the chair by the window, the figure of a woman is reflected.

I was a little surprised.

I was about to ask out loud.

The woman stood up and made a "shh----h

The dim light in the room reflected the graceful and familiar figure of the woman standing up.

"When did you come?" , I asked softly.

"It's not been half an hour since I arrived." Lan Gu also replied softly.

"That's done!" , she continued, with a hint of excitement in her tone.

This is not difficult to understand, hundreds of millions of wealth will be in hand soon, whoever is replaced, only a person with desires, will dance, Lan Gu's performance shows that she is an extremely calm person.

"Yes, congratulations!" , I said coldly.

"Aren't you happy for me--- you?" The woman's intuition is very sensitive, and she seems to be aware of my coldness and deliberately keeping a distance.

"I'm glad for you, really, really blessed!" My tone this time softened a lot.

"What is easy to get is often difficult to keep, I hope you can keep what you get in the back, so that it can truly become an eternal wealth!"

With that, I walked to the closet in the corner of the house, ready to pack my bags.

"Are you --- you're leaving?" , Lan Gu asked in a trembling voice behind him.

"Yes, the task assigned by the group has been completed, and I am ready to go back to Beijing and go home." I didn't look back, bent down to collect my luggage.

A familiar body scent, from far to near.

My body was a little stiff, and Lan Gu hugged me from behind, a soft and familiar embrace, which made me gradually lose my ability to defend myself.

"Don't go, hold on to this inheritance with me, right?" , her low voice, full of seduction.

The invitation to stay together made me sober up.

In an instant, the figures of Lin Xueer and her son rushed into my mind.

I broke free from Lan Gu's embrace and said softly, "You know, I can't, I'm already a family man!" Besides, I love them more than anything else in this world! ”

Although I didn't turn around, I heard a deep sigh from the woman, which still made me feel the disappointment.

"I came this time, and I have important information to bring to you, that is, the old guy you know, he was taken away by the Commission for Discipline Inspection the day before yesterday for investigation!"

This is very surprising news.

I couldn't help but turn around and glance at Lan Gu.

In the dark, her eyes were shining at me.

"He's been arrested, will it have an impact on this acquisition?" Although it doesn't have much to do with me, I'm still a little inexplicably worried.

"It doesn't matter, the matter has been settled, and although he has some help in this acquisition, it is not the deciding factor!" Lan Gu smiled faintly.

"I've been running the club for so many years, and the people who should be handed over have been handed over, once things start, the results will come naturally, you understand this, right?"

I nodded, it seems that I was not mistaken about her, Lan Gu is indeed very deep.

It seems that Xiaowei confessed, not to Jingguan, but to succumb to the forces behind a woman.

"It's best if it doesn't matter." Seeing her so confident, my worries became completely unnecessary.

"Don't you want to know how he was investigated?"

I shook my head, although secretly, I had heard all kinds of rumors of such gossip more than once, but after all, it was all hearsay.

"I reported it."

Lan Gu then said lightly.

In the dark, such honest and calm words sounded heart-wrenching.

I don't know when, she has already retreated back into the dark corner by the window, her whole face is shrouded in dim light, as if covered with a faint black veil, I can't see her expression clearly, I don't know whether she is happy or sad, sad or resentful.
