"The hardest thing in life is making a choice." Lan Shan Gu sighed.
Blue Mountain Club.
Lan Shan Gu stood at the entrance of the club, his face calm and his mouth showing a gentle and joyful smile. But inadvertently, a hint of deep worry emerged in his eyes.
This puzzled the assistants around him. This young master had single-handedly facilitated the cooperation between the Lan family and Chaoyan Technology. With the popularity of Chaoyan Technology's Xiaohuo Miao products throughout the country, the Lan family, as one of the three major agents, also made a lot of money. He was originally the focus of the Lan family's training. After the success of this investment, he could be determined as the next person to lead the Lan family. Shouldn't he enjoy his happy and carefree time? What else was so hard for him to let go
Lan Shan Gu was indeed very worried, and he couldn't tell anyone about his suffering.
Fang Yan and Jiang Junling, the two big brothers, wanted to negotiate, but they chose the Blue Mountain Club as the negotiation location.
Others may not know the relationship between the Lan family and the Blue Mountain Club, but Fang Yan and General Ling cannot be unaware of it.
Originally, Lan Shan Gu wanted to play dumb and pretend that he didn't know what was going on. If they wanted to negotiate, then let them do it. But after both parties had greeted him, he couldn't avoid it anymore.
On the one hand, there was a famous young man in the capital, one of the most important figures in the Jiang family. Even with the current status of the Lan family, there was no way to compete with such a giant.
The other party is a new business upstart. Although he is not very prominent, even the financial circle does not know his existence. However, as one of the most important partners of Chaoyan Technology, how could Lanshan Valley not know about the relationship between Lu Chaoge and Fang Yan? How could it be that it is impossible for Lanshan Valley not to know about the relationship between Fang Yan and Qin Yitian, the eldest daughter of the Qin family? How could it be that it is impossible for Lanshan Valley not to know who is the real boss of Chaoyan Technology
This gigolo!
There is a dragon and a tiger. No one in Lanshan Valley can afford to offend them, and no one wants to offend them.
But, why did you drag a nobody like me into the dragon-tiger fight? If you want to fight, go to Yijian Peak to fight, if you want to scold, go to the top of Xixia Mountain to scold - why did you drag me into this? Do the poor deserve to be bullied by the rich? The poor also have dignity, okay
She was full of sadness, but she had to put on a forced smile. Lan Shan Gu felt like she was a lady in a nightclub, drinking with customers with her chest and thighs exposed.
Just as he was secretly complaining about Fang Yan and Jiang Junling's dishonesty, a luxury car stopped at the entrance of the club.
Lan Shan Gu walked down the steps quickly, took the lead in helping to open the car door, and said with a smile: "Mr. Jiang, long time no see. You haven't been to Huacheng for several years, right?"
General Ling shook hands with Lan Shan Gu and said with a smile: "It's a sad place, I dare not come here often."
"What the young master said is a criticism of our Huacheng's poor reception work. We have learned our lesson this time and will definitely entertain the young master well so that you can have a new understanding of our Huacheng." Lan Shan Gu deliberately changed the subject and said with a smile.
How could such a trick be hidden from General Ling? He held Lan Shan Gu's hand and said with a smile: "Shan Gu, you and I are alienated now. When we were in Yanjing before, we had nothing to do and we would go out for drinks and chat. Now you are using official standards when you meet?"
Lan Shan Gu's face was shocked, and he said with a smile: "Young Master, if you have time, I will invite you now. Today, the two of us brothers can have a good drink and chat. I have turned down other people's appointments. I will be angry with anyone who dares to snatch it from me."
The general laughed and said, "That's right. Your separation made me feel regretful all my life. We were good friends before, how could we be lost all of a sudden? Now it's good. I just like your fearless and heroic spirit."
The two entered the top-level 'Lanshan Box' of the club. Except for an old man with sunglasses who followed them in, everyone else automatically left. There were assistants from Lanshan Valley to help arrange it.
A beautiful girl in palace dress performed the tea ceremony on the spot. A cup of tea with good color, aroma and taste was served to the guests. The beautiful lady in palace dress bowed and left.
Lan Shan Gu made an invitation gesture and said with a smile: "I know that Young Master likes to drink Laojun tea. I went back and asked for all the treasures that our old man has kept at the bottom of the box - Young Master, please have a taste."
General Ling took a sip from the teacup and said with a smile, "This year's new tea is picked before the first rain before Qingming Festival. Only the tender core of the tea tree is picked. It is dried with clean hands and then stir-fried by hand. The leaves, heat, and stir-frying skills are all first-class. The combination is a superb product - old man, you are in for a treat. When I have time, I will visit the old man and ask him for a cup of good tea."
"Then the old man will be so happy that he will show off his tea-making skills in front of you again." Lan Shan Gu responded with a smile, but he was secretly alert in his heart. He didn't believe that the general ordered to visit the old man at the Lan family without other intentions. However, the Lan family has now identified Chaoyan Technology as a cash cow. It may not be easy for them to change the Lan family's ways, right
General Ling held the teacup in his hand and looked at Lan Shan Gu thoughtfully. He said, "I came here twenty minutes earlier than the agreed time because I wanted to have a good talk with Lan Shan Gu. It's hard for everyone to meet in person now, and it's even harder to sit down and have a good talk."
Lan Shan Gu knew he couldn't avoid it anymore, so he looked at Jiang Junling and said seriously, "Young Master, I'm listening to what you want to say."
"You can't just listen with your ears, you have to speak with your mouth, and think carefully with your heart and brain. Shan Gu, I know that you are cooperating very well with Chao Yan now. As the saying goes, blocking someone's financial path is like killing their parents. I will never do such a thing. What I want to talk to you about is that our family is going to invest huge amounts of money and resources to invest in Longtu, to make Longtu bigger and stronger, and to make it a world-class energy company. Are you interested in participating?"
The Lanshan Valley fell into a brief silence.
It is not naked solicitation, but a more sophisticated differentiation.
Jiang Junling knew that it was impossible to completely separate the Lan family from the interest alliance that Lu Chaoge had created for Fang Yan. Because there were huge benefits and unlimited development in the future, even the Jiang family was very tempted by it.
However, if he is allowed to make profits from this alliance of interests, but an equally huge benefit is placed in front of him, what choice will the Lan family make at that time
General Ling’s thoughts were simple. He couldn’t win over the Lan family to work for him, nor did he want the Lan family to be used by Fang Yan.
In this way, Jiang Zhuliu will not make enemies everywhere in Huacheng, and the situation of Longtu Group will be much easier.
Li Yun reminded the general to be careful in Huacheng, because they all knew very well that the current Huacheng was no longer the same as before. If Fang Yan wanted to, he could do many things that would endanger the general's behavior.
It was precisely because he clearly understood this that General Ling was so angry about Li Yun's reminder.
Sometimes, telling the truth can really hurt people's self-esteem.
Faced with the bait thrown by Jiangjun Ling, Lanshan Valley was indeed a little hesitant. Although they were now the agents of Chaoyan Technology, would they still be agents in the future? If they were no longer useful, would they be kicked out by Chaoyan and Fangyan
If you invest in Longtu Group, you will be an important partner of Longtu Group. We will share the same honor and disgrace and work together. Who dares to say that Longtu has no chance
Besides, even if Chao Yan became the best in the world, so what? Who can say that the second-best company in the world doesn't make money
After General Ling threw out this bait, he stopped talking and waited patiently for Lan Shan Gu's answer.
Lan Shangu's mind raced, constantly considering the pros and cons of various options.
After a long while, Lan Shan Gu finally made up his mind and said, "Young Master, this matter is too important. I have to discuss it with my family. I think they are more mature than me and have a longer-term vision. They will give a more accurate judgment."
The general's eyes were slightly stern, but returned to normal in an instant.
Although Lan Shan Gu did not say anything final, he had rejected Jiang Junling's proposal in person. In other words, between himself and Fang Yan, he chose Fang Yan. Moreover, he followed Fang Yan with a resolute and decisive attitude.
If you can't be friends with such people, then you can only be opponents.
"I understand." General Ling nodded.
Then he picked up the teacup and drank tea without saying anything else.
The general ordered not to speak, and Lan Shan Gu also stopped talking.
The sound of tea gurgling and the fragrance of tea were faint, but the air in the room was almost frozen.
Time flies, and when the agreed meeting time is about to arrive, Lan Shan Gu stood up and said, "Young Master, please sit down for a moment. Young Master Fang is coming. I will go to greet him."
The general did not respond. Since Lanshan Valley had already made his choice, it was reasonable for him to give Fang Yan enough respect at this time.
Lan Shan Gu did not wait for the general's order and pushed the door open and walked out of the box.
When he stood at the door of the club again, he felt inexplicably better.
Lan Shan Gu felt his heart calm down. The most difficult thing in life is to make a choice. Once you make a choice, many things suddenly become clear.
A GMC RV stopped at the entrance of the club. Lan Shan Gu walked down the steps quickly, took the initiative to help open the door, and said with a smile: "Young Master, the general has been waiting for you for a long time. I thought you stood him up and would not come today."
Fang Yan jumped out of the car first, then turned around and helped Lu Chaoge down.
Only then did he have time to greet Lan Shan Gu, and said with a smile: "I'm a little late. Chaoge's hands are not convenient, so I've been responsible for buying groceries and cooking these days. Isn't today's braised hairtail fish good?"
"It's a bit salty." Lu Chaoge said. She was wearing a silver-white suit and a sky-blue silk scarf around her neck. The beautiful bow just covered the wound on her neck.
Her hair was combed into a phoenix tail, which was slightly curled, making her neck look slender and delicate. The snow-white chest made people swallow their saliva. The heart-shaped dripping pendant was the happiest jewelry in the world.
"If I put too little salt, I'm afraid it won't be able to suppress the fishy smell of hairtail." Fang Yan explained seriously, "What do you want to eat tonight? I'll make you a whitebait soup? The taste can be lighter, mainly to enjoy the fresh taste of the whitebait----"
"Okay." Lu Chaoge said. "Let's make another dish, the Mapo Tofu, which we had at noon today."
"No problem." Fang Yan supported Lu Chaoge's arm and said, "The prices have risen again recently. Let's go find someone to ask for some money for the groceries."
One party is busy wooing and bribing, while the other party is discussing cooking and buying groceries with his girlfriend. Who is the real winner? Isn't the answer already out
Lan Shan Gu laughed and said, "We have to ask for the money for the groceries. We can't ask for less."
But in his heart, he was thinking that for a pretty boy to achieve what Fang Yan has achieved, he is a winner in life. (To be continued)
