After getting Huang Wei's promise, Li Rui was so excited that he couldn't sleep all night.

This is not an opportunity for him.

Just yesterday, Li Rui received a message from Dongfeng Distillery and Longshan Distillery, saying that the cooperation between the co-branded liquor had been terminated, and the reason behind it could be guessed even if it was not said.

Fortunately, Li Rui had already asked Mao Buyi to clear the distillery's inventory in advance, so the distillery suffered almost no losses.

However, this incident also forced Li Rui to speed up his plan, and now it is time to start the "Golden Cicada Shell".

Li Rui called Mao Yurou overnight and informed her to go to the new factory immediately. And he is not idle, now that the alchemy equipment has arrived, it can be said that everything is ready, and he wants to develop a new type of aphrodisiac overnight.

Sure enough, as long as Li Rui wants to do it, there is nothing he can't accomplish. After a night of night fighting, the new aphrodisiac was completed, and it also took advantage of its own snake bite to play, and gave it a strange name - Spirit Snake Pill.

After that, he fell on the bed and fell asleep.

This night, I slept until the evening.

"What time is it?" Li Rui squinted his eyes and picked up the mobile phone to take a look, it didn't matter if he saw it, he was startled when he saw it, there were more than a dozen missed calls on the caller ID, all of which were from one number.

"Liuqin?" Li Rui looked at the dozen or so missed calls on the screen that were all from Liu Qin, and wondered.

"What is she looking for me to do? Hey, there is also a text message, see you tonight at Lide Restaurant? Liuqin invited me to dinner? ”

"I'm sorry senior sister, I didn't pay attention to my phone, I haven't answered the phone, don't worry, I will definitely go to the appointment on time."

Due to the situation, Li Rui still decided to go to the appointment.

Lide Restaurant is located in Huichuan County, which belongs to the kind of ordinary wine shop, and dignitaries rarely care about it, so Liu Qin chose this place to avoid attracting attention.

When Li Rui arrived, Liu Qin was already waiting at the door. He went up to say hello, and walked up to a small box on the second floor of the restaurant with Liu Qin.

After sitting down, the waiter immediately brought a few small plates of cold dishes and two pots of tea.

It seems that Liuqin often comes here to eat, and the waiters know her tastes and preferences.

"You can order a few more dishes." Liu Qin pushed the recipe in front of Li Rui and said, "The dishes here are good. ”

Li Rui opened it, ordered five dishes at random, and then closed the recipe and handed it to the waiter

"You go out first." Liu Qin waved her hand to the waiter and said.

The waiter bowed, then exited the room. Only Ye Lirui and Liu Qin were left in the box, and since neither of them spoke first, they fell into a brief silence.

"I've heard you've been having a bad business lately." Liu Qin took the initiative to break the silence in the room, stared at Li Rui, and said with a light smile: "Yang Xiangli has told me privately a few times, he seems to be determined to close your factory?" ”

Li Rui shrugged his shoulders a little helplessly, and said with a smile: "Who says it's not, Yang Xiangli has done everything in order to close my winery." ”

Liu Qin shook his head directly and said, "I don't want to ask him more about the specific details, you tell me, what's going on?" ”

"It's ridiculous to say, Yang Xiangli just wants to get my medicinal wine recipe. If he asked me for it, I might give it to him, but he wanted to use such a method, and I had no choice but to accompany him. ”

Hearing this, Liu Qin was also very confused, Li Rui was willing to hand over the formula, was it really self-defeating? But at the beginning, Li Rui obviously refused to hand over the prescription, why did he change his mind in a blink of an eye?

"Why didn't I see you so happy at the time?" Liu Qin asked.

"Because, I don't like to be forced by nature." Li Rui said proudly.

"No wonder." Liu Qin picked up the tea

After taking a sip of tea, he said jokingly: "You are still the same as when you used to study, young and frivolous, and you haven't changed at all." ”

"If you hadn't helped me, I'm afraid I would have been killed by the society a long time ago."

"Hehe, you and I are both fallen people at the end of the world, but you are better than me, you still have the courage to fight against this society, and I am destined to be just someone else's plaything......" Liu Qin seemed to think of something, and a look of grief flashed on her face.

Originally, it was difficult to see this kind of expression on Liu Qin's face. is used to being a strong woman, and it is difficult for her to show the posture of a little woman in front of others.

It's just that in front of Li Rui, she inadvertently revealed it, but it was even more flavorful.

"Someone else's plaything?" Li Rui couldn't help frowning.

"yes, I'm getting married, to someone I don't like." Liu Qin didn't know why, originally these were secrets, and she told them all.

Maybe she also understands that if she doesn't say it, she may not have a chance to say it.

"Marry? Marrying someone you don't like? Li Rui looked at Liu Qin in surprise and asked, "Why, since you don't like it, why do you want to marry him?" ”

Liu Qin tilted his head and said coldly: "Because, I'm just a chess piece." ”

"Chess pieces?"

Li Rui felt that Liu Qin's words today were very informative, and it seemed that this meal was not as simple as it seemed.

Liu Qin no longer talked to Li Rui, but drank tea silently alone.

At this time, the waiter began to bring the dishes up, Li Rui wanted to break this silence, but Liu Qin kept his head down, not knowing what he was thinking, so he had no choice but to speak, bowing his head and eating.

About twenty minutes later, Liu Qin felt that this was a little bad, sighed slightly, gave some food to Li Rui, and then said softly: "Li Rui, I want you to do me a favor." ”

"What's the busy?" Li Rui didn't stop eating, but asked while eating.

"Give me the recipe." Liu Qin finally said this.

In fact, one of the purposes of her coming to Li Rui today was to ask Li Rui to hand over the formula.

No matter what method is used, even if it is begging him.

Liu Qin originally thought that this matter was difficult, but she didn't expect Li Rui to say indifferently: "Okay, I can give it to you now." ”

"Actually, I guessed it from the time you mentioned Yang Gang just now." Li Rui said lightly: "I still remember, last time it was also such an occasion, the three of us, Yang Gang sang blackface, you red-faced, I also thought that the person behind the manipulation may be you, but I can't bear to doubt you, today you told me the truth, I am very happy." ”

Liu Qin smiled bitterly, but her body trembled slightly inadvertently.

"Senior sister, can you tell me why?" Li Rui put down his chopsticks and suddenly asked.

"Uh......" Liu Qin was stunned for a moment, not knowing how to answer.

Li Rui asked this, of course she thought of it, but she never thought of a reason to explain.

"In order to monopolize the market for aphrodisiacs, right?" Li Rui glanced at Liu Qin, and then said coldly.

Liu Qin didn't answer, just looked at him with a complicated expression......

"Don't be so nervous, no matter what, you're my senior sister." Li Rui said.

"You don't blame me?" Liu Qin asked.

"Why not, I'm just a platform people, and I can't afford to mess with those big men."

"But you...... How do you know this? Liu Qin asked.

Liu Qin's heartbeat also accelerated slightly, and when Li Rui said "monopolize the aphrodisiac market", she even felt scared.

Li Rui's insightful eyes touched her heartstrings.

"If you don't want anyone to know, you can't do it unless you do." Li Rui crossed Erlang's legs and said

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

"But I believe that the person who can control the huge aphrodisiac market is by no means a small governor of you, senior sister, you might as well tell me, who is behind you?" ”

"Why do you have to know?"

"I've handed over all the prescriptions, what do you have to worry about?" Li Rui paused, and then said, "If I don't choose to cooperate with you, I'm afraid you will be about to make a move." ”

Hearing Li Rui's words, Liu Qin's face changed complicatedly.

Looking at the change in Liu Qin's expression, Li Rui continued: "I think that the person who instructed you must hope that the two sides can reach a cooperation calmly, and will not care about this innocuous thing." ”

"How so?" Liu Qin raised her head and stared at Li Rui, her face was a little wrong.

"Because, since he has enough patience to play these little actions with me, it means that he doesn't want to tear his face with me, otherwise, as long as he moves his fingers, my little life will be lost." Li Rui said

He didn't continue, but Liu Qin already understood what Li Rui meant.

"And what do you want me to tell you?" Liu Qin bit her lip and asked.

"Who is he, and what does he want to do?"

Liu Qin's body trembled slightly, her expression was very complicated, and her face was a little pale.

"I can't say." Liu Qin shook her head and said.

"You just tell him, and he'll make his own decisions." Li Rui said with a smile.

After speaking, he stood up from his seat and said with a smile: "Okay, thank you for the meal you invited me to eat today, it is indeed delicious." ”

"Are you leaving?" Liu Qin also stood up, her expression a little unnatural.

"What's wrong? Does Senior Sister still want me to chat with you? ”

Liu Qin's mouth opened for a moment, and a blush appeared on her face. I wanted to say yes, but she didn't say it after all.

Watching Li Rui walk out, Liu Qin also walked out. When he came to the door of the hotel, Liu Qin blocked in front of Li Rui and said, "I'll send you back." ”

Li Rui shook his head and said with a smile: "Don't bother, I'll just go back by myself, but it's okay to hug one......"

Hearing Li Rui's words, Liu Qin immediately put on a relieved smile, but the corners of her mouth crossed a smile that no one noticed.

"If I get married, will you be sad for me?" Liu Qin asked.

"Yes!" Li Rui said bluntly: "I don't want you to marry someone you don't like, happiness must be in your own hands!" ”

Li Rui said this verbally, but he had mixed feelings in his heart.

He himself is not a person who is bound by fate, for money, he chooses to become a son-in-law, and in order to live, he chooses to live in seclusion in the countryside......

"I'm relieved to have your words." Liu Qin smiled slightly and said, "It seems that in this world, there are still people who will pity me, and there will be people who will be sad for me." ”

"Senior sister, I'm not having pity on you, I hope you can cheer up and really live for yourself."

"Live for yourself once?"

Liu Qin's heart was deeply shaken, she thought that her soul was dead, and she was just a walking corpse. Today, I once again burn the hope of living because of Li Rui's words, no matter what the past is or what the future is, we should live for ourselves.

"Well, I will! Thank you, Rui Li. ”

"Thank you for what I did, I didn't do anything." Li Rui shook his head and said, "I will give Yang Gang the secret recipe tomorrow, and I will never make you embarrassed." ”

Liu Qin looked at Li Rui, feeling both grateful and sad in her heart.

She was grateful to Li Rui for his generosity and forgiveness, but she was sad for her deception of him.

If there is a gap in the relationship between the two because of this, it will be the worst decision she has made in this life.
