Trajectory 2: entangled curves

"Shu, I'm sorry, the art park project may have to be suspended." Zhuge Qinuo said to the person on the other end of the phone in a low voice.

"Why? After looking at these projects, do you think they are all bad in the end?" Wu Shu was still calm.

"Hasn't it reached the final decision stage? Or do you think these two won't work? Do you have any other ideas?"

"I have made an appointment with both parties and will give you a reply in the next two days."

Wu Shu kept talking and Zhuge Qinuo couldn't get a word in.

"The answer is that neither side will invest, join or develop. I have a new use for this money." Finally, it was Zhuge Qinuo's turn to speak.

"What's the use? Are there any better projects?" Wu Shu still had the calmness of a manager.

"No, I lent the money to someone else."

"All 500 million borrowed?" Wu Shu's voice rose several degrees, and she was completely out of control.

However, this loss of control seemed to be more acceptable than Zhuge Qinuo had imagined. She quickly replied, "Not that much, 300 million."

"300 million, even though it's your money, I have no right to interfere." Wu Shu spoke after a long time. Zhuge Qinuo knew that she was also trying to adjust her mood, and his voice was obviously calmer.

"But it's 300 million. Please be generous and lend it to me next time." But the silence did not last more than a sentence.

“And it’s not about the money.”

"No, it's about the money."

"This is what you have always wanted to do and have been preparing to do. We have been preparing for so long, and you are just going to give up like that?"

"I don't even want to ask, and of course I have no right to ask, who are you doing this for? Or what are you doing this for. But please understand, you are giving up your original dream for a person or a thing. Are you sure that 'that' is more important than 'this'?"

As expected, the impatient Wu Shu started to scold Zhuge Qinuo, and she closed her eyes and tilted her head to put the phone far away. She knew she would need to be taught a lesson. However, she would endure it. She felt that this result was what she deserved for someone like her who "forgot her friends for the sake of beauty" and "betrayed her loyalty".

Deng Qing was standing aside and vaguely heard something about Qian, then saw Zhuge Qinuo making faces and the sound coming from the cell phone which could be heard from such a long distance.

You can imagine how loud the voice was, it must have been like being scolded all over the place.

The scene that he had just imagined seeing, Zhuge Qinuo's embarrassment, was actually happening, and he instantly felt much more relieved.

Zhuge Qinuo finally opened his eyes which had been squinted due to Wu Shu's scolding. He took a breath and turned around, only to see Deng Qing in front of him.

The two looked at each other. Deng Qing was stunned for a moment and walked towards her unconsciously.

"Shu'er, listen to me, this is not necessarily a bad thing. I am doing what I think is worthwhile. You have to trust my intuition. I will tell you in detail when we meet. I will find a way to explain what happened over there, but you need to come forward and face their contempt first." Seeing Deng Qing coming, Zhuge Qinuo quickly explained to Wu Shu.

"You really are, I get it. Fortunately, you are not completely brainless. You know you still have the restaurant to start working. You were really too willful this time. Okay, okay, let's leave it at that."

"Bang" If I remember correctly, this was the first time Wu Shu hung up the phone angrily without saying goodbye.

Zhuge Qinuo knew that he was really in trouble this time, but he had to tell the truth.

I don't know whether I feel heavy or relieved.

"What's the matter? Is there a problem with the money?" After almost falling out just now, Deng Qing became outspoken.

Seeing how Zhuge Qinuo was in trouble just now, he now took the opportunity to make fun of him.

"No."

"Don't try to be so pretentious." Deng Qing continued.

"It's true that they are trying to swell up their face, but they are not pretending to be fat."

"Why are you helping Mi Bei so much?" Deng Qing suddenly became serious, without rejecting any provocative tone.

"Why do you do that?" Zhuge Qinuo also looked into Deng Qing's eyes without any fear.

"What's the point of being the best actor? I'm still the boss's wife! I don't rely on you for food or drinks, so why should I be inferior to you? I'm not afraid of you." This was the confidence Zhuge Qinuo gave himself in his heart.

Deng Qing: "I have known him for so many years, he is like my own brother, it is my duty to help him."

Zhuge Qinuo: "You think it's right, I think it's worth it. One person can let another person lend 5000 million out of friendship. Then I have reason to believe that he is a good person who is trustworthy. Is it wrong for me to help a good person?"

Deng Qing: "You didn't, but..."

Before Deng Qing finished speaking, Zhuge Qinuo continued, "But! I know you want to say but! Well, I'll tell you, I can bear this 'but', and I don't have any unreasonable thoughts or bad intentions."

"As for Mibe, I believe you have heard and seen it just now. This money may not be worth mentioning to you, but it is not a small amount to me. Using the money to hurt him will not benefit me at all."

"Harming others without benefiting myself! I think in your heart, I should be a person who puts profit above all else. Do you think someone like me would do something that hurts the enemy 1000 but hurts myself 800?"

After a while, seeing that Deng Qing did not answer, Zhuge Qinuo continued: "Just for the sake of profit, please give me a chance to invest in Mi Bei. I believe that there is gain in loss."

"Zhuge Qinuo, I don't mean anything else." Zhuge Qinuo's counterattack made Deng Qing at a loss for a moment. He has always been the center of attention, and no one has spoken to him in such a tone for a long time.

He speaks bluntly, but she is even more blunt than him.

"No, you do! You are on guard against me!" Zhuge Qinuo boldly met Deng Qing's eyes and expressed his thoughts unscrupulously, leaving Deng Qing speechless for a moment.

Then she smiled and said, "Perhaps you will find it fake, but I still want to say that there can still be real and reliable feelings between people."

"It can be friendship, it can be love, but it can also be family. There can be trust, there can be reliance, and it can be more than just interests."

"People like you who are high up and in the spotlight, ah, maybe it's because you have too many flatterers, too many schemes, and too many life experiences in dramas, and you are often deprived of these most basic and true emotions of human beings."

"You are lost in this materialistic world, and unknowingly, you have already strayed far away from 'purity'! That's why you don't understand my approach."

"But I understand that the entertainment industry you are in is so complicated. It is normal for you to think this way." However, you are wrong about one thing..."

"What?" Zhuge Qinuo's pause finally gave Deng Qing a chance to speak.

"I have never been one of your circle."

"In a way that you can understand, at best, I am a businessman. A not very good businessman. Therefore, there is no conflict of interest between us. I am more looking forward to win-win cooperation."

Although all the words were said with a smile, the cold tone made Deng Qing feel chilled to the bone and shocked her greatly.

After saying this, Zhuge Qinuo didn't want to say anything more. She always believed that actions are the best proof.
