Chapter 444: People and colleagues are no longer friends
PS: Thank you 'rewrewreee' and 'Top of China' for your valuable monthly ticket! Thank you for the great evaluation vote of 'Phantom Arrow'!
Ye Zhangqian looked at Lin Shu with anticipation, Lin Shu replied with a smile: "What's wrong with this, who is not cooperation?, not to mention, we used to cooperate happily, but now I don't just represent myself, but on behalf of Xuanmen, therefore, it is the cooperation between the Ye family and Xuanmen, and the specific cooperation method, please ask Boss Ye to negotiate with my sister!"
"Of course this is good," Ye Zhangqian glanced at Lin Shu with some disappointment.
Lin Wei blinked and said: "Let's talk about this down, you haven't seen each other for a while, let's talk about the old days first, I won't bother, and when I have time, Miss Ye can come to me at any time, and my office is next door." β
"It's good, please take care of Miss Lin Wei then!"
"Okay, brother, I'll go first! You talk slowly. β
After Lin Wei finished speaking, he nodded with a very graceful smile and left, Lin Shu watched his sister's back leave with some strange eyes, and turned his gaze back to Ye Zhangqian.
"Boss Ye seems to have something to say just now?"
Ye Zhangqian pursed his lips and smiled: "It's not that I don't trust Sister Ling, but I'm a little embarrassed." In fact, I was transferred to the capital this time, and it was indeed stained with your light, but as I said just now, as an individual, I sincerely treat you and Xuanmen as friends, but our Ye family may not be so pure. Please forgive me for not saying too much. β
Lin Shu looked at Ye Zhangqian with some astonishment, she didn't need to say this at all, even if the Ye family said it beautifully. In fact, Lin Shu may not really think that the Ye family is a trustworthy ally. between organizations and organizations. There can be no relationship of heartfelt trust, and the bond that holds the relationship between organizations can only be interests.
Lin Shu is far from being naΓ―ve enough not to understand these truths, and Ye Zhangqian should not look at Lin Shu like this, so Ye Zhangqian must be saying this to emphasize the former, that is, her personal attitude of sincerity and trust in herself and Xuanmen, and it is this that makes her embarrassed to say it in front of Lin Wei. Maybe she already knew that the relationship between Lin Wei and Lin Shu was not a simple sister-brother relationship, at least probably not in the future.
"Wait, what Boss Ye means is that you personally hope to have a deeper cooperation with us and establish a stronger relationship, of course, on the basis of not harming the interests of the Ye family, you will seek to influence and improve the Ye family's attitude towards the Xuanmen, is that what you mean?"
Ye Zhangqian nodded, her face flushed a little. That's a bit too much.
"Yes, although I can't give Gento anything substantial right now. But I can promise that I will establish a good and harmonious mutual aid relationship with Genmon in the future, which is a bit excessive, but I have to be cheeky to ask because, because"
Ye Zhangqian couldn't say any more, and at this time, Xiao Ye, who had been standing behind Ye Zhangqian, interjected: "Mr. Lin"
"Uncle Lan, let me say it myself. Ye Zhangqian bit her lip, raised her eyes and looked at Lin Shu and said, "Because of my brother." β
"Your brother, what does this have to do with your thoughts?"
"I am the third in the family, and there are two elder brothers above, the eldest brother is determined not to run the affairs of the family, but lives a dull life in a certain research institute, while the second brother hopes to enter the core of the family, of course, this is also for the sake of our branch, Lin Shu, you are from the Lin family, you should understand the things here. β
"Well, you know, so what?"
"If my second brother wants to enter the core of power, then he needs to make achievements, and I am an important chess piece for my second brother to strive for results, my second brother followed my advice and spent a lot of money to transfer me to Chang'an, hoping that I can establish a good relationship with Xuanmen, so as to obtain important benefits for the Ye family, and then improve the value of my second brother in the clan. β
After Ye Zhangqian finished speaking, he looked at Lin Shu with some apprehension, Lin Shu is still the same Lin Shu, his appearance has hardly changed, and his eyes are still so clear, but his status is different, although Ye Zhangqian tried hard to let himself ignore this, but he has not succeeded, Lin Shu has brought her more and more pressure, due to the power and interests represented by Lin Shu, the person is still that person, but the relationship is no longer difficult to return to the simple and ambiguous relationship before.
Thinking of this, Ye Zhangqian couldn't help but sigh secretly, he felt a little annoying about his behavior, maybe Lin Shu also began to hate himself.
Lin Shu thought for a while, smiled and said, "Did you draw a cake for me?"
"Well, you can think of it as an investment. β
"Investment, from the perspective of Xuanmen's interests, is it possible to invest in a potential ally of Xuanmen? But as a friend, I'd definitely turn down this kind of investment, don't you find it a little boring when all that's left between us is a relationship of exploitation and being exploited?"
"Well, of course, but I still have responsibilities on me, not for the sake of honor and status, just for the sake of my relatives, of course, this is also an excuse, anyway, I'm annoying, right?"
"Can you say this about yourself? Hehe, you are also a little arrogant, everyone has selfish thoughts, you have me, everyone has it, you see, I will take care of the people of the Lin family, I will kill people for the sake of my younger siblings, and I will also deal with you for the benefit of Xuanmen, isn't this normal. β
Ye Zhangqian was a little confused, she didn't understand what Lin Shu wanted to say: "This, you, what do you want to say?"
"I just want to tell you, what you want, you just say, because you are my friend, I will clearly tell you okay or not, and you don't have to feel embarrassed about it, I won't feel guilty because I rejected you, other things can be separated from our friendship, as long as there is no moral loss, what are you embarrassed about?"
Ye Zhangqian was stunned, and then there was a strange feeling spreading in her heart, warm and a little itchy, making people feel comfortable and safe, and addicted, involuntarily, Ye Zhangqian laughed, smiled charmingly and delicately.
"Xie Lu Xie, I think I understand what you mean!"
"Understood, just understood, did you mean that the order given to you by the family conflicts with your own ideas?"
"Well, yes, of course, this so-called conflict is conceptual, and there is no specific matter, but after I came to the capital, I received a rather strange instruction, which I can't say, but there is another thing that needs to be told to you. β
"Is this an advance payment?"
"Uh, hehe, you can think so, but I didn't mean that, because I think it is more indicative of my position with the Ye family. β
"Oh, you name it. β
"That's right, after I came to Chang'an, I would routinely hold some dance parties, and I would also actively participate in the drinking parties of the dignitaries in the city, and establish a good relationship with the dignitaries in the capital, and then, I found that some people seemed to be trying to get close to me, of course, not for me, but for you, for Xuanmen!"
"Approaching you for me and Xuanmen!"
"Well, through me, they are trying to understand the situation inside the Xuanmen, and they are testing the attitude of me and the Ye family. β
"That's normal, if only I understood!"
"What if, this is a camp? What if, this camp, is trying to win over me and the Ye family? What if the leader in this camp is the Li royal family? I heard that the Li family has a gap with your Xuanmen!"
Lin Shu suddenly, at the same time, Lin Shu also realized that he put the center of his activities in Chang'an, Tang Kingdom, and there was indeed something not very good, that is, he had too little understanding of the local situation and lack of corresponding intelligence channels.
From this point of view, the value of the Ye family comes out, because the Ye family has a deep-rooted relationship network and intelligence system, this system may not be as strong as the system of the Demon Research Society, but it is definitely more obedient to its own command than the Demon Research Society.
Thinking of this, Lin Shu suddenly felt that Ye Zhangqian seemed to be trying to show himself this, thinking of Ye Zhangqian's cleverness, Lin Shu couldn't help but smile, perhaps, Ye Zhangqian's proposal was worth seriously considering.
Lin Shu looked at Ye Zhangqian, Ye Zhangqian looked back at the forest tree with a smile, his eyes were also very clean, and he was completely free of the apprehension and uneasiness just now, but he looked a little cunning and naughty.
"You're saying that a faction is forming to deal with the Xuanmen?"
"I guess, do you need my help to continue inquiring? Also, can you tell us how Xuanmen has a grudge against the Li family?"
"Aren't there any rumors here?"
"Yes, it's Lin Zhengxin who said this, Lin Zhengxin's song is really good, if I have the opportunity, I really want to listen to it live, but it's a pity that she has quit now! β
"Well, speaking of which, I don't know what else is going on in Lu Dao, because the person concerned died, and a big scandal broke out, and then I heard that the guy still left a big hole, and it is said that the Li family is anxious about it, so we didn't continue to investigate, and there will be no gain except for grudges. β
"But the Li family doesn't seem to think so, they have now settled the big hole, maybe they want to settle accounts after the autumn. β
Lin Shu smiled, if they wanted to come to Quanwuxing, Lin Shu was not worried, but if they came from the bright side, such as the commercial aspect, or from the power related to cracking down on and squeezing out the Xuanmen, it would be a rather troublesome matter, not to mention anything else, just harassing those suppliers who supplied to the Xuanmen, it would have a serious impact on the action that Lin Shu had just decided to build the Dust Realm.
Of course, Lin Shu could choose to go to Los Angeles, where he could avoid the immediate trouble, but if he did, Xuanmen would lose.
"Well, you convinced me, I agree with your suggestion to invest in you and your brother!"
Ye Zhangqian smiled proudly: "This must be a good choice, believe me, and, thank you!" (To be continued......)
