However, just looking at a person silently cannot understand or solve the problem. Lu Yan looked at Mei Baoqing and said, "Why me? Brother Mingshen can have more choices." He is poorer than him.
They all need Mei Baoqing more than he does.
"More is not necessarily better." Mei Baoqing said with a hint of contempt, "I don't like hungry dogs, I like people who are similar to me."
Lu Yan didn't speak. He didn't know how to react to Mei Baoqing's words. Should he be happy that Mei Baoqing regarded him as the same person as him, or should he be angry that Mei Baoqing described him in such a tone?
If he were Wu Xiang, he might respond to Mei Baoqing with the same contemptuous attitude: "Sorry, I only like people who are similar to me." This would be very relieving, but Mei Baoqing did not come here with any malicious intent.
, he is not Wu Xiang. He has learned a long time ago that even if he is unwilling to accept the hand extended by others, he must not easily hit the other person's hand and turn the other person into his enemy. So he chose to remain silent.
This kind of silence has many interpretations in Mei Baoqing's eyes. It can be seen as the pride of silence, it can also be seen as forbearance after weighing, or it can also be seen as not having made up its mind, thinking is not yet mature, and needs to think more.
I think, think more carefully. But in any case, the other party did not glare at him, point at his nose, curse a few words angrily, and then walk away, which is a good sign.
In this world, there are court officials who marry widows for wealth, from officials to prime ministers, and there are also clan girls who do not hesitate to marry miscellaneous people for wealth. Of course, there are also romantic celebrities who will not give up for five buckets of rice, and there are also hypocrites and ignorant people who are just trying to gain fame.
The world is sour. But it is obvious that Lu Yan is not any of these people. He is talented, and at the same time he is proud and persistent, and he also knows how to surrender and give in.
This silence encouraged Mei Baoqing to a certain extent, so he continued: "This is not a big loss for you, but it is a gamble for me, and I have every reason to choose a suitable person.
If you have money, you won't squeeze me too much and plot against me. If you are restrained and forbearing, you won't make too many mistakes. And I can also give you a lot of useful advice and introduce you to many useful people. I just need
Just a friend."
He was gambling, so why wasn't he? Mei Baoqing's words sounded like a businessman's, but he forgot that he was not a commodity and could be chosen by him, nor could a so-called friend. Lu Yan chose
He raised his eyebrows and said clearly: "Brother Mingshen must have many friends who are capable and willing to help you. I have a small official position and a narrow circle of friends, so I probably can't help you too much."
These words seemed to be a refutation of what he had said earlier that he had many personal friends. When this sentence was stung, Mei Baoqing couldn't help but smile a little bit: "To be honest, at the critical moment, one's family background is a matter of no importance.
Things that are casually ignored, and those who are tied together by interests are not true friends. What's more..." What's more, how many people are friends with him just because they think he can bring them benefits. Many people regard
He regarded them as fat sheep, and he also regarded many people as fat sheep.
Mei Baoqing did not say the following words, but instead smiled calmly: "This is a big deal. I have thought about it a long time ago, but it may not be too sudden for you. I don't want Min Xingdi to say it right away.
In reply, you can think about it carefully, and then talk to me in detail after you think about it clearly. Before June, I was always in Beijing."
Mei Baoqing gave him half a month to think about his choice. If he didn't agree, maybe the Lu family's business would finally break free from his hands in an uncontrollable manner, leaving him like this.
All the efforts in the past two years have been in vain, and Mei Baoqing will be offended, and it may not necessarily affect Lin Jinrong's business. If he agrees, this may be a rare opportunity. If you miss it, you will never get it again. Mei Baoqing
Baoqing will not always be there waiting for him. Lu Yan was a little irritated, but he finally endured it and just smiled and asked Mei Baoqing: "May I ask when did you fall into the eyes of Brother Mingshen?"
"Of course it won't be the first time we met." Mei Baoqing smiled softly and opened the fan in his hand coolly: "You may not know that there is a big difference between you now and before." If Lu Yan said that
It used to be a piece of rough jade, but now it has been polished to reveal its brilliance. Although it has not yet reached its peak of brilliance, it can already be seen that it is a piece of beautiful jade. In time, it will shine brightly.
the difference?
After returning home from Fengle Building, Lu Yan walked directly into Lin Jinrong's room, picked up her mirror, and looked at his face. He was still the same young, with the same eyebrows, and the same expression. He couldn't tell that he was the same as himself.
What was the difference between the winter when he first met Mei Baoqing two years ago? However, deep down in his heart, he understood that he was a little different from before. At the very least, he could face the contempt contained in other people's voices and expressions.
Quiet and calm, instead of being as sensitive and angry as before.
"I understand why Zhang Shanniang said that Mei Baoqing has a solution. It seems to be true. He wants to support you, and you will support him in the future." Mei Bao's liquidation is another variable. In the previous life, there was no such thing as Mao Brown.
Of course, Mei Baoqing had never met Lu Yan before, and he never met to discuss this incident in detail. Lin Jinrong watched Lu Yan's every move seriously, and couldn't help but think that Lu Yan could use that calm attitude.
, told her every word of Mei Baoqing in a clear and logical manner without personal emotions, and described every movement and expression of Mei Baoqing in detail, which surprised her.
After all, he is different from before. If anyone had said something to him in the past, the subtext was that I have seen many officials who are much older than you, so I am not afraid of small officials like you. What about hungry dogs and people?
On a par with that, even if Lu Mian didn't have an attack at the time, he would definitely feel humiliated and saddened. How could he look at himself in the mirror like he is now? And say this to her?
"What are you looking at?" Lu Yan noticed Lin Jinrong's eyes and put down the mirror with a smile: "Do you see any difference between me and before?"
Lin Jinrong smiled: "Of course there is, and it's very big." They are both people with obvious shortcomings. Growing up in such a family was not easy for her, nor was it easy for him. It is really not easy to get to this point. But all of this is
It's just that God has shown mercy, otherwise, he and she would be just a piece of damp soil in a corner where the sun doesn't shine.
Lu Yan caught the flash of darkness in her eyes. He frowned and said calmly, "What changes have happened to me?"
Lin Jinrong smiled: "I won't tell you."
Lu Yan stretched out his hand towards her armpit, pushed her down on the couch, and grinded his teeth in her ear: "Tell me, I won't tell you to look good."
Lin Jinrong held his shoulders and said softly: "You are two years older than before." As he bit her earlobe, he added: "My mind is broader. Don't you think so?"
Lu Yan was very satisfied with this sentence in his heart, but he was a little unwilling to accept it: "Is it possible that I was not broad-minded enough before?"
Lin Jinrong smiled: "A bit petty." She leaned into his arms and whispered: "Then what are you going to do? There are always choices." She was not sure what the future would be like after that snowy day, and where she would go.
Mei Baoqing was not familiar with the direction of the development, and she didn't know what impact this would have on Lu Mian's future. Although she knew that according to the rules, the Lu family would be ruined and the second wife would be unlucky, she had no sympathy, but since
There have been variables, and this decision should still be made by Lu Mian himself.
Lu Yan helped her up and looked into her eyes: "Plan the worst, if I reject him and offend him, your business will be greatly affected and you will have a lot of trouble. If that's the case, you
Will you blame me?"
"If you really meet a villain, there's nothing you can do about it. I don't blame you." Lin Jinrong was silent for a moment and said, "I'm thinking that if we really want to be friends, we shouldn't have this attitude. Like this
, it’s more like we’re talking about business.”
Lu Yan showed a smile that said you are my confidant: "You are right. I think so too, and I plan to tell him this when I invite him back in two days. If he is offended by me because of this, then he is a bastard.
Man, sooner or later I will be bound by him, and I am not worthy of being entrusted with him. If he really wants to deal with us, we don't have to be afraid. He can't make all the money in the world, and he can't pay all the people in the world. If
If he is worthy of association, he will agree with me."
Lin Jinrong nodded and took the opportunity to discuss with Lu Yan: "The price of silver has been low recently. I plan to exchange all the money I have earned these days into silver. When I send it to Pingzhou in the autumn, it will be just in time to buy silver and pay tribute, and I can make a small profit.
A lump sum." It can make money, and saves you from having to worry about big cars and small cars when you go home for a funeral in October.
Lu Yan didn't take it to heart and just said: "If you send it back, who will keep it for you?" Subconsciously, he already regarded the current Lu family as a place where Lin Jinrong's property could not be properly kept.
He hadn't noticed this change yet, but Lin Jinrong had already realized it, so he just pursed his lips and smiled: "The third brother is here."
Lu Yan stopped talking and started to worry about Mr. Lu's illness: "I'm very worried about my grandfather." Everyone has their own position. They may not be willing to do what they want, and they may not be willing to do what they want, so he just closed his eyes.
The person who was listening to this story. Before, he only wanted to ensure that Mr. Lu was in good health, that Lin Yuzhen was keeping a tight diet, and that his second wife was in ruins. He had nothing to worry about, but he never expected such a turmoil.
Lin Jinrong said: "Don't be anxious, Fangzhu may receive a letter soon. Maybe the good news of Yilang's birth will be sent home, and my grandfather will be happy. It's not necessarily that he will survive."
"I hope." Lu Yan lowered her eyes and looked at Lin Jinrong. She seemed to always think of many things in advance and take precautions.
Lin Jinrong felt a little uncomfortable when he saw him, so he smiled and said, "I thought earlier that everyone has their own position, and even if they don't covet it, it's always good to know more about the situation at home, so I told Fang
A few words from Zhu. It’s getting late and I want to see Yi Lang. Do you want to go?”
This explanation was reasonable, and Lu Ming smiled: "Of course I want to go."
