"No!" Li Muye flatly refused: "I will never tolerate my enemies, not to mention he is the man you like."
Diana looked at Li Muye's determined and fierce eyes and seemed to not know what to say. Her shoulders trembled and she lowered her head and sobbed. Li Muye's hawk-like eyes stared at her. After a long silence, she finally raised her head and said, "If I am willing to accept your punishment on his behalf, will you consider sparing his life?"
"Do you love him that much?" Li Muye asked pretending to be heartbroken.
Diana nodded sadly, then shook her head and said: "I used to love you very much, but now I'm not sure. He once betrayed our relationship. At that time, I had already decided to leave my family and go to the United States with him, but he was here He left without saying goodbye at the last moment, leaving me alone in Moscow."
"If that's the case, why do you want to sacrifice yourself to save him?"
"I can't forget him, nor can I just watch him die before my eyes." Diana said painfully, "Sir, I owe him this. If he hadn't rescued me from Leonid's clutches that year, , I have been dead for many years, and later I found out that he was Leonid’s bastard brother, who was ten years older than me and a very talented poet. I was completely fascinated by him... "
"Do you have to save him?" Li Muye took a step closer and put his hand on Diana's white and weak shoulders.
As if Diana didn't dare to face Li Muye's eyes, she lowered her head and nodded twice.
"No matter what the price you pay, you won't regret it?" Li Muye's hand held her slender waist.
Diana struggled slightly and said, "Sir, please, don't do this to Diana."
Li Muye stared at her deeply. There was something strange about this girl's appearance, but so far nothing could be seen wrong. Her reactions and body language when facing everything were almost perfect. He stopped and his tone turned cold: "It seems you are not ready yet. I never like to force others."
"Ah no!" Diana realized that Li Muye was walking away from her, and quickly stopped her: "No, sir, please, please forgive me, I don't mean to reject you, I, I just, I just don't know what to do. Only by doing it can you be satisfied." When she said the last word, her neck was almost red.
Li Mu was agitated and pretended to be confused: "Have you never had a man before?"
Diana's voice was like a mosquito: "Sir, I am a believer in God, not just any random woman."
Li Muye suddenly pushed her away and said, "Me neither!" Diana was shocked and was about to say something, but Li Muye covered her mouth, came close to her eyes, and said gently: "Don't worry, I won't make you sad. You can sleep here tonight. I'll tell that kid to get out now!"
"Let me see him again, okay?" Diana mustered up the courage to look into Li Muye's eyes and said, "Just looking at him is like saying goodbye to my youth."
Li Muye nodded and said, "I will send him out personally in a while. You can see him in the monitoring room and hear our voices, that's all."
There were only Li Muye and Nicholas who looked resentful in the room.
"It's time to send you away." Li Muye said: "Of course I can do more, but some people don't want to see you get too seriously hurt."
Nicholas looked disdainful: "I don't believe that a person like you can be influenced by a woman." The woman he mentioned was of course Diana.
Li Muye said: "Maybe you misjudged me before. After all, you don't understand my past at all."
"I don't need to know much about you." Nicholas said: "A person who can snatch the right of first refusal from Charmov is also a Chinese. Isn't this enough to support my judgment?"
Right of first refusal? Li Mu's ambition was shaken. No wonder Charmov wanted to do something against him. It turned out that after Gurnov's fall, Timov and Bergomi had a commitment to him. It would be strange if he didn't become angry when he lost all the fat in his mouth. I also thought about Timov being raided at Lao Cui's house, and the reaction of the local police station. All kinds of signs pointed to the fact that these old guys were just using me and would never be of the same mind as me.
"Whatever you think, you can leave now." Li Muye pointed at the door.
Nicholas stood up and walked towards the door. There seemed to be a slight hesitation when his hand touched the door, but in the end he pushed the door open without saying anything.
Li Muye sighed and said, "Don't you want to know about Miss Diana's situation?"
Nicholas stood still and said without looking back: "What can I do if I know?"
Li Muye said: "After all, she has to make some sacrifices for you. Even if you show concern, it can be regarded as an explanation of your feelings for her."
Nicholas said ruthlessly: "Russian women need furs and bread more. Love is just a dream made up by little girls."
Determined to leave.
Li Muye returned to Lao Cui's house and told Chu Qinchuan what happened that night.
Chu Qinchuan pondered for a while and said: "You did a good job, but it's not a big deal. If Timov and the others go too far, don't forget that we are behind you. To put it in perspective, we You can also cash out your existing assets and go back to China for development.”
Li Muye said unhappily: "You always seize every opportunity to educate me on patriotism."
Chu Qinchuan smiled and said: "My hands and feet are on you, so I have never interfered with where you go or what you do. When things have developed to this point, you should understand that as a Chinese, you can have There is a limit to how much you can do, and once you get close to breaking through this limit, people will do everything possible to do something against you."
This was a fact that Li Muye could not deny. He nodded and said: "You are right, but my biggest problem now is that I have just found an inexhaustible gold mine, and even the channels are almost complete. I want to give up at this time." , I absolutely can’t do it, but if I persist, I have to always be wary of people like Timov and Bergomi. As the saying goes, you can catch a thief in a thousand days, but it is difficult to guard against a thief in a thousand days.”
Chu Qinchuan said: "From the beginning, Timov has been using you as a channel to sell what they want to sell to us. For us, the reference value of those technologies is far greater than the practical application value. Chen Miao The biggest difference between him and you in how he treats you is that Chen Miao will use you but will not cheat you, while Timov will find a way to take back what he gave you after he uses you. If not You opened Anasayev's channel in time, and the current situation will only be more difficult."
"Since you knew this was the case, why did you rescue Markov in the first place and help me get the right to purchase the Gurnov property?"
Chu Qinchuan said: "Of course it is because it is also good for us. The things here are very complicated and related to the international strategic pattern. The only thing I can tell you is that Markov's capture and release are related to something. There was a reason why he had to be rescued, and you were so obsessed with Gurnov's property at the time, so Chen Miao decided to help you along the way."
He added: "If I told you at that time that there was nothing we could do about that matter, would you believe that I was doing it for your own good?"
Li Muye shook his head and said frankly: "I still had illusions about Timov at that time, and I never thought about falling out with him."
Chu Qinchuan said: "So, this is just an exchange of interests. Chen Miao decided to let you go completely, and you lost your greatest use value in front of Timov. But at this moment, he didn't expect that you could actually be in Ya Kut opened up the situation and even shook the monopoly advantage of the five Western countries there..." "It's just the shadow of Mengzu." Li Muye was a little decadent again, not because it was difficult for things to develop to this point, but because he was sad about his naivety. . As a swindler, a businessman who prides himself on relying on his brains to make a living, he was manipulated by two big spies in a series of incidents, and he was completely unable to keep up with their thinking. This is really a frustrating and angry thing. .
"I have been working here for ten years and have not been able to make breakthrough progress." Chu Qinchuan said: "As a twenty-three-year-old young man, what you have done is actually outstanding enough. Experience can increase, wisdom and character But he is born with it, and I am not as good as you in this aspect. In my opinion, only Chen Miao can rival you."
"Stop praising me." Li Muye smiled bitterly: "I was almost killed by these old fools, and I was stupidly helping them make money."
Chu Qinchuan said sternly: "Child, don't underestimate yourself. You have to know that this is a special period for both us and the Russians. The feast of capitalization is over and the oligarchs and giants have fallen one after another. At this point, many people were chosen to come here, but they all failed in the end. Successful people are rare, but in my opinion, you are the best."
"Take what happened tonight as an example. I can't always be by your side to protect you. If you make a stupid choice today, the next situation will be extremely passive. Out of strategic alliance partnership, There are some things that it is not convenient for us to intervene directly. At that time, people are holding your pigtails, and all we can do is to get you back to the country. But in this way, many things have been wasted. "
These words were very candid.
"According to what you just said, before me, you also selected other people to develop here?"
"Without affecting the alliance relationship, of course we hope to get more benefits from this giant in change." Chu Qinchuan said: "In fact, the Western camp has done more blatantly and excessively than us. The world sees It sounds very big, but all the resources are actually placed in front of us, either by them or by us. In this process, if it is not convenient for us to do things, we have to support some private forces to participate."
Li Muye thought of some famous international bad guys. Compared with those old friends, if I didn't have a special relationship with Anasayev, I might not be lucky enough to receive so many resources and protection. Without these resources and protection, he would never have been able to carve out this world in such a short period of time.
Chu Qinchuan continued: "Chen Miao's strategic purpose has been achieved. She said she will no longer interfere with your business development here, so she will not interfere too much. In principle, she hopes that you can return to China for development, but in this way No words would come out of her mouth.”
When it comes to returning to orderly domestic development, Li Muye categorically rejects it. My knowledge is shallow and my foundation is unstable. I have no chance to create the wealth I want within ten years. It is said that heroes emerge from troubled times. Although Lao Maozi's side is dangerous, there are also more opportunities.
Li Muye's eyes were firm and he said in a decisive tone: "Unless I get what I want, I won't go anywhere!"
Chu Qinchuan showed an unexpected smile and said: "I knew you would make this choice. Nothing else can help you, so I will sacrifice my old bones to accompany you here to deal with them. If you don't retreat, , I will never take a step back."
"Determination alone is of no use, being stunned will not lead to death. Next we have to think about how to deal with the series of bad guys in Timov." Li Muye said: "I have already let Nicholas go, and the easter egg has not been opened yet. , the matter of cooperating with them to open a company and jointly operate the Yakut channel was shelved by Timov and the others, and it is not clear what they will do next. In this situation, I would like to hear your opinions? "
"Would you mind marrying a Russian woman?" Chu Qinchuan suddenly asked as if he was referring to something. (End of chapter)
