Recently, she found that the old man and Mu Qing came back later and later, and the two spent more and more time discussing things in the study, even Yue Hua became busy.She finally couldn't help being curious, waited until there was movement in the next room at night, and knocked on Mu Qing's door.
She asked bluntly, "Brother, have you been so busy recently? It's business..."
Mu Qing sighed: "It's nothing."
She walked over: "Brother, don't hide it from me. Something must have happened. Don't worry me. Just tell me!"
"Lan'er...you...well, oh...we said it before, but it really came true. This Li Shaowen has become more and more powerful. Since he took charge of Zhihe Commercial Bank, he has chosen to go the way of Chief Sun. Many Merchants used to cooperate with Wande, but now they have turned to Zhihe. Not only that, but his actions are targeting us at Wonder. Not only have we lost our partners for many years, but recently some major customers have been losing Now, compared to his father Li Zhiyuan, he is quick and accurate in his shots, just when we are talking about the most money-intensive time for the Xia'echeng branch, he is really powerful. Father has a headache."
"Li Shaowen? Him?!" Zhilan said in shock.
"That's right, it's him." Mu Qing frowned.
Zhilan thought to himself that he really started his so-called plan, and what he said was true: "Then what should we do now?"
"I don't know. It's ironic to say that when Li Shaowen just became the manager of Zhihe, Li Zhiyuan paid a special visit to his father and talked to him about his willingness to continue to cooperate. He hoped that his father would support Li Shaowen more.
In the past ten days or so, Li Shaowen suddenly launched an attack. Now that I think about it, they have already planned it, but we were too careless!He caught us off guard, and there was no time to raise funds, and it will take some time for the large amount of money to be returned.
Moreover, the newly opened branch in Echeng still needs investment. I am afraid that the capital chain will be tight. If it is not possible, the market in Echeng may have to give up. I'm afraid I'll be dragged down too..." Mu Qing said with a long sigh, her eyes full of solemnity.
"It's really such a difficult situation? Does dad have any countermeasures?"
"I have already asked my aunt to intercede, and asked Li Shaowen to take care of the relatives' face and give her a noble hand, but as soon as my aunt mentioned this, he evaded him with words, and in the end it didn't work." Mu Qing shook his head, "We can only hope that the Yinlou will return. Some money needs to be turned around, and the eldest brother is already raising money. I'm afraid Li Shaowen has already grasped us..."
Zhilan already knew Li Shaowen's intentions, and if she guessed right, this is just the beginning. No wonder she said that she would trade Wan De's future, so that's how it is.Looking at Mu Qing who was at a loss, she hesitated whether to tell Mu Qing what Li Shaowen meant?
"I...maybe know what he means..." Zhilan murmured hesitantly.
"How do you know?" Mu Qing asked strangely.
Seeing that she couldn't hide it anymore, Zhilan told her in detail about Li Shaowen's appointment with her.
The more Mu Qing heard it, the more gloomy his face became: "So his target is you?" This was self-evident, and he looked at Zhi Lan, who had his head down in front of him with an apologetic expression, and hammered hard with his hand The table, damn it!
An indescribable emotion rose in his heart, which seemed to burst forth majesticly like a dike. This emotion was only experienced when Zhilan and Tang Rong were standing by the lake together. It was finally over. , I have suppressed my feelings for so long, and another Li Shaowen broke his skills again.What's more, Li Shaowen is not Tang Rong, so how can he protect her this time?
The opponent's intentions are clear, how to dismantle the move, you have to think of a way.
"Lan'er, do you like Li Shaowen?" This question must be asked clearly.
Zhilan shook her head.
"Well, don't talk about this matter anymore, don't tell anyone, not even dad. Leave it to me, and I'll figure out a way. It's getting late, you go back to your room to rest." As long as Mu Qing gets her With this sentence, I feel a lot of comfort for no reason, the goal is clear, at least I will not be passive.
"Okay." Zhilan believed in Mu Qing the most, as long as he promised, he would definitely do it.Needless to say.
After Zhilan left, Mu Qing's thoughts were confused, and it turned out that the crisis and anxiety were rooted in her.what can we do about it?He poured himself a glass of red wine, brought the glass to his mouth, and put it down gently.
In the next few days, Zhilan closely observed the atmosphere at home, and it seemed that the crisis had not been resolved.Seeing that the old man's mind became more and more serious, everyone in the family was unwilling to eat, and Mu Qing and the old man stayed in the business all day and night, and even Yue Hua in the silver building was too busy to return at night.She knew that the situation was getting more and more serious, and Wan De must be in an emergency, so she couldn't help but sigh that Li Shaowen is really a sharp character.
When Zhou's family was in a state of turmoil, the perpetrator came to the door for the first time.
A car went straight to the gate of the Zhou mansion. The driver, Old Chen, got out of the car first, and opened the door for Li Shaowen in the car to ask him to get out of the car.Old Chen took out a gift from the car and handed it to him.
Numerous maids and servants from the Zhou mansion squeezed out to watch the fun, and everyone thought he was chic and imposing.
"Nephew Li Shaowen came to pay a visit to Uncle Zhou." Li Shaowen said loudly.
"Please!" Elder Zhou couldn't help frowning when he heard the report. He didn't know what the devil in the world could do, and his heart sank.After all, the old man has a deep concentration, no matter how many thoughts he has in his heart, he will not show it on his face.Mu Qing next to him secretly thought it was not good, he already knew the reason for his visit, but he couldn't explain it clearly.
Zhilan heard Yancui talking about Li Shaowen's visit in the room, and became restless in the room.
Everyone sat down on the sofa, and Li Shaowen personally presented gifts.
"Nephew, why are you here today?"
"I happened to be passing by your mansion today, thinking about the last time I met Miss San in the theater, I wanted to ask my uncle for a merciless favor. I wonder if I would have the honor to invite Miss San to have a light meal together again."
"I'm sorry, I think Sister Lan is definitely not willing." Mu Qing refused on behalf of Zhilan, hiding three points of emotion in his words, "I'm afraid Young Master Li will be disappointed this time."
The old man glared at Mu Qing, and said to Li Shaowen: "How about this, I'll ask the little girl myself and I'll give you an answer." Then he asked the housekeeper to serve tea, and went upstairs to find Zhilan.
The old man knocked on Zhilan's door and waved the others away.
"Lan'er, Dad has something to ask of you." The old man said to Zhilan sincerely, "Now Wande's future is in your hands, and only you can save the Zhou family."
Zhilan immediately understood the purpose of her father's visit and fell silent.
"Lan'er, saving Wande is also saving your mother. When I was young, my family was poor and I went to the city to make a living. I worked as a handyman in your mother's family's Baijia business. It was Xinxin who didn't mind marrying me and helping me to establish a family business. Later, you My grandfather passed away, and it was Xinxin who handed over the Baijia business to me, so that Wande is today. For your mother, you should also accept this matter. I will never let Wande fall into my hands, Otherwise, I am sorry for your mother, and I am also Wan De's sinner!" The old man looked resolute.
At the end of the words, Zhilan knew that she had no room to refuse, and it seemed that if she didn't want to go, she would be dragged by her father.But she had to try her best: "Father... I... really don't want to have anything to do with him."
"No! You are my Zhou Shixiong's daughter, you must go! This is my order! Yan Cui, hurry up and dress up your master! Lan'er, I want to see you downstairs within a quarter of an hour." , the old man softened his attitude towards Zhilan, "I'm not forcing you to get married, just have lunch, I'll ask Qing'er to pick you up at three o'clock, don't worry, you should be smarter at the banquet and listen to Li Shaowen's tone .”
Under Yan Cui's skillful hands, Zhilan combed her hair, put on light makeup, and changed into an improved cheongsam.Yan Cui praised her beautiful appearance, Zhi Lan felt desolate in her heart, filled with the sadness of being treated as a deal.
With Yan Cui's support, she slowly came down from upstairs, her eyes were only on Mu Qing.Mu Qing stared at Zhi Lan's master and servant with red eye circles, clenched her hands into fists to expose her veins, and her face was ashen.
In stark contrast is Li Shaowen, the big winner, who is full of vigor and can't hide the color on his face.Before Zhilan came down, she stepped forward to take her hand from Yan Cui and was about to salute and leave.
"Wait a minute, I have a request: I will ask Zhou Muqing to pick up Lan'er at three o'clock."
"Don't worry, uncle." Li Shaowen agreed.
Looking at Li Shaowen holding Zhilan's hand, Mu Qing hated this uncontrollable feeling, especially watching Lan'er being taken away.Before going out, Zhi Lan stopped and turned around, Li Shaowen lowered his head and asked softly: "What's wrong?"
Mu Qing couldn't help but see the complex expressions of sadness, help, sadness, and despair she conveyed.
Don't regret half your life at this time!Thinking of this, he rose up desperately, ran to the door and grabbed Li Shaowen's arm holding Zhilan, and met Shang Zhilan's eyes: "Don't go with him, stick to your original intention."
Zhi Lan stared into Mu Qing's deep and emotional eyes, almost sinking into it, and did as he said...
"Qing'er, let go of your sister!" The old man's words sounded at the right time, thundering in Mu Qing's ears like thunder. The word "sister" hit him accurately, and the hand holding Zhilan suddenly became weak.
This sentence also had a strong effect on Zhilan, her mind was blank, only the despair of "Why is he my brother, the huge Zhou family can't protect me..." could not go away, and she was almost dragged by Li Shaowen Moving forward, he silently obeyed Li Shaowen's mercy.
"Qing'er, follow me to the study." After Zhilan left, the old man keenly grasped Mu Qing's pain and wanted to talk to him.
After getting in the car, Li Shaowen directly ordered the driver to drive.
"Where are you going?"
"Yuegong Hotel, I've already made arrangements."
Zhilan had long heard that this was the most luxurious hotel in the city, but she only heard of its name.
After a while, the hotel arrived. This magnificent hotel is the tallest building in the city except for the clock tower of Jiangcheng Customs. Standing on the top floor, you can overlook the whole city and see the surging river.The hotel waiter took them directly to the viewing restaurant.
Li Shaowen personally pulled out the chair and made a "please" gesture.
"Why is it so grand when it's just a meal?"
"It's really not easy to invite you, I hope we can start anew." Shaowen smiled and waved to the waiters to serve.
At this time, Mu Qing was still in the old man's study.
"Father, letting Li Shaowen take Lan'er away like this is a disgrace to the Zhou family. I still have a way to fight Zhihe, why sacrifice my sister."
"Do you have a better way, you are counting on the money back from the silver building?" The old man couldn't help sighing, he knew Yuehua, and the delay in getting the money back from the silver building must be something wrong.
"Qing'er, we can't wait. Everything is ready in Echeng, and I can't give up casually. Besides, why did he come here for Lan'er? Why didn't he come to demonstrate with a big swagger? But Qing'er, remember, little If you can't bear it, you will make a big conspiracy. Besides, if you analyze it, if Lan'er can really achieve a positive result with him, it will be beneficial to us. Not only Wande's crisis can be solved, but the business structure can also be changed, and even Lan'er herself will be good. Son-in-law, it can be said that everyone is happy. You have to know how to let go, we all let go of Lan'er so that she can grow." The old man spoke earnestly, but Mu Qing remained silent, can he let go?
The answer he clearly heard in his heart was a simple no word.
She asked bluntly, "Brother, have you been so busy recently? It's business..."
Mu Qing sighed: "It's nothing."
She walked over: "Brother, don't hide it from me. Something must have happened. Don't worry me. Just tell me!"
"Lan'er...you...well, oh...we said it before, but it really came true. This Li Shaowen has become more and more powerful.
