After Fang Xuanling left, with a complicated expression on his face, he took a deep breath and dialed Liu Rengui's number.
When Liu Rengui saw the call from Fang Xuanling, a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes as to why Fang Xuanling was looking for him again after so long, but he still answered the call immediately.
"What's the matter, Duke Wei?" Liu Rengui asked, with a hint of polite concern in his tone.
Fang Xuanling was silent for a moment, and then said in a low voice: "I found Lu Zhaolin."
Upon hearing the news, Liu Rengui's eyes immediately lit up, and he asked eagerly: "How is it? Did he agree?"
He wanted to find another helper for Li Min, so he really wanted to help Li Min share some of the burden.
Fang Xuanling shook his head slightly, frowning and said, "No, he didn't seem to agree. Moreover, His Majesty actually knew of his existence."
Liu Rengui heard Fang Xuanling's disappointment and confusion, and he began to think about whether he had inadvertently revealed Lu Zhaolin's situation. Then he suddenly remembered that when Li Shimin asked him about Lu Zhaolin's situation before, he was the one who disclosed Lu Zhaolin's situation.
"I told Your Majesty this matter." Liu Rengui said regretfully and scratched his hair with his hands. "Your Majesty pressed hard at that time, so I quickly told the story about Lu Zhaolin."
When Fang Xuanling on the other end of the phone heard this explanation, his expression changed slightly. He originally thought that Liu Rengui had revealed the news to Li Shimin on purpose, but now it seemed that it was just an unintentional move. He couldn't help but feel a surge of emotion in his heart.
They were slightly disappointed. Originally, they planned to let Lu Zhaolin join Shengtang Group, but now it seems that this plan may have come to nothing.
With Li Shimin's intervention, things became extremely complicated, causing variables to the originally simple plan.
Liu Rengui couldn't help frowning, with a hint of anxiety in his eyes. He asked Fang Xuanling with a slightly anxious tone: "So what is Lu Zhaolin's attitude? Your Majesty asked him, did he agree?"
Fang Xuanling sighed, with a helpless tone: "No, he didn't agree. He didn't even explicitly reject me."
Liu Rengui frowned after hearing this, and a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes, "So, Lu Zhaolin is still hesitant."
Fang Xuanling nodded slightly, "Yes, this is the current situation."
Liu Rengui began to fall into deep thought, and doubts arose in his mind, what did Lu Zhaolin want? Is it the desire for power or the pursuit of wealth? Or, he was carefully considering which party he should join.
Fang Xuanling seemed to hear Liu Rengui's confusion and added: "His Majesty gave him a choice, which is to serve as the governor of Qingzhou. He seems to be very interested in this proposal."
After hearing this, Liu Rengui suddenly raised his head, with a flash of astonishment in his eyes. He originally hoped that Lu Zhaolin could contribute his strength to the Shengtang Group instead of serving in the court. Lu Zhaolin is a very talented person and he should not be buried.
In the imperial court.
He began to feel a little helpless and regretful in his heart. He knew very well that Li Shimin cherished talents. Li Shimin was a wise monarch who knew how to discover and utilize talents. Therefore, Li Shimin quickly took action and tried to incorporate Lu Zhaolin into his
camp.
Looking at the development of the situation in front of him, Liu Rengui felt a little powerless. His original plan had come to nothing, and now he could only hope that Lu Zhaolin could make a wise choice. He hoped that Lu Zhaolin could see the situation clearly and choose someone who could truly display his talents.
The place.
Liu Rengui knew that he could not influence Lu Zhaolin's decision at this moment and could only wait and observe the development of the situation. He knew that Lu Zhaolin was a very independent person and would not be easily influenced by others.
At the same time, Fang Xuanling also felt the pressure. He began to re-examine the entire situation and think about how to get Lu Zhaolin to join their plan. He knew that Lu Zhaolin was a rare talent, and if he could get his support, it would be a great success for him.
The development of Shengtang Group has played a huge role in promoting the development.
However, things are not that simple. Li Shimin has extended an olive branch to Lu Zhaolin and provided him with an attractive position. This makes Fang Xuanling and Liu Rengui feel even more pressure. They must come up with a better plan to make Lu Zhaolin
Heartbeat.
But all this still had to be handled by Fang Xuanling, because Liu Rengui was not in Chang'an. If Liu Rengui was in Chang'an, he would definitely be able to find Lu Zhaolin.
"Liu Rengui, I think it might be faster if you come forward." Fang Xuanling suggested at this time, with a hint of firmness in his tone.
After hearing this, Liu Rengui responded calmly: "If I come to him, what would you say, sir? Does he need to help you?"
Fang Xuanling hesitated after hearing this. He knew that Liu Rengui was right. It would indeed be faster if Liu Rengui came forward, but how should the husband explain? Will Lu Zhaolin really be willing to help him?
He frowned and thought, feeling a little at a loss for a moment.
Liu Rengui looked at Fang Xuanling's hesitation and said: "You can talk to him again, I will keep in touch with him. But sir, he is likely to know about this, because if Lu Zhaolin really joins Shengtang Group, he will
I will definitely mention it to my husband. Then the possibility of my husband helping you will be even smaller."
Hearing this, Fang Xuanling decisively rejected Liu Rengui's proposal. He raised his head and looked at Liu Rengui firmly, "I can handle this matter, but if it doesn't work, I don't want to continue."
But he felt a little lost and helpless in his heart. He knew that his decision might make things more complicated, but he didn't want anyone else to get involved.
"Okay then, you just have to figure it out!" Liu Rengui said at last, with a hint of helplessness in his tone.
Fang Xuanling nodded and said firmly: "Okay, then I'll go talk to him again!"
After saying that, he hung up the phone. Next, he planned to find a middle-aged woman. A seemingly ordinary middle-aged woman.
This middle-aged woman is a famous matchmaker in Chang'an City.
When Fang Xuanling found her, it was already afternoon.
In the evening of that day, Fang Xuanling and her matchmaker came to Lu Zhaolin's home. When they arrived, Lu Zhaolin was resting at home with his eyes closed. When he heard someone coming, he got up to greet him.
Lu Zhaolin was a little surprised to see Fang Xuanling appear with a strange woman. He looked at them doubtfully, wondering what their purpose was.
But I took a closer look at the woman and seemed to have seen her somewhere.
Fang Xuanling looked at Lu Zhaolin with a smile on his face. He did not mince words and directly explained the purpose of his visit: "Lu Zhaolin, this is a matchmaker nearby. She is here to introduce you to a virtuous and virtuous woman. I hope you can
You can think about it."
Lu Zhaolin was stunned. He did not expect that Fang Xuanling would make such an arrangement. He knew that this was one of Fang Xuanling's methods to win him over to join the Shengtang Group, but he did not expect that Fang Xuanling would be so direct.
This makes me a little embarrassed.
When he was thinking about how to refuse, the matchmaker saw that Lu Zhaolin was hesitant, so she stepped forward and said, "Mr. Lu, don't get me wrong. I really think about you and hope you can have a happy family."
Lu Zhaolin looked at the matchmaker and found that although she was old, her eyes were shrewd and alert. He knew that the matchmaker was well-known in the local area and would not make such a move easily.
Seeing Lu Zhaolin's doubts, the matchmaker continued: "Master Lu, I know you are a talented and ambitious person. But life is not just about career, but also about family and love. If you can have a good wife,
Your life will be more fulfilling and happy."
This woman is very good at speaking, and her words immediately reach people's hearts.
After hearing this, Lu Zhaolin couldn't help but feel a little moved. He really longed for a happy family and a warm life. But he also knew that marriage was not in his life plan. He didn't want to get married for the sake of marriage, but wanted to have a happy life in his own life.
Find a suitable partner on your life path.
He looked at Fang Xuanling and the matchmaker and couldn't help but feel a little emotional. He knew that Fang Xuanling and the matchmaker were doing it for his own good and hoped that he could have a better future. But he also understood that he needed to walk his own path and walk his own path.
The choice needs to be made by oneself.
He took a deep breath and decided to tell them his thoughts: "Wei Guogong, matchmaker, thank you for your kindness and concern. But I think marriage is not something that must be done in life. I want to focus more on my career now.
Go ahead and wait until the time is right before you consider this matter."
Obviously, Lu Zhaolin would not agree to the two of them so quickly.
This makes it a bit tricky.
Fang Xuanling and the matchmaker did not answer immediately after hearing this, but looked at each other. They knew that Lu Zhaolin was an independent person and would not make decisions easily. But they also believed that Lu Zhaolin would seriously consider this matter.
In order to get Lu Zhaolin to join Shengtang Group quickly.
Fang Xuanling motioned to the woman to speak.
The matchmaker looked at Lu Zhaolin, with a sly light flashing in her eyes: "Mr. Lu, what you said makes sense. But you have to know that some things in life can't wait. Maybe you don't think you need marriage now, but when you have a successful career
When you succeed, you find that there is no one around you who understands both coldness and warmth. Will you regret it at that time?"
When he said this, Fang Xuanling was a little excited.
Indeed it is.
After hearing this, Lu Zhaolin couldn't help but feel a little moved. He knew what the matchmaker said made sense, but he still didn't want to make a decision easily. He didn't want his life to take a path that he didn't want to take.
Upon seeing this, Fang Xuanling said: "Lu Zhaolin, I know you are a smart person. You will definitely be able to weigh the pros and cons and make the best choice. But we also hope that you can seriously consider the matchmaker's suggestion. After all, marriage is a matter of
Major events in life require careful consideration.”
Lu Zhaolin knew that Fang Xuanling and the matchmaker were all for his own good, but he still didn't want to make a decision easily. He felt that his life path needed to be explored and chosen by himself, rather than being influenced by others.
Lu Zhaolin took a deep breath again, looked at Fang Xuanling and the matchmaker firmly, and said in a gentle but unquestionable voice: "Wei Guogong, matchmaker, I am very grateful for your concern and advice. I understand that you are all for my own good, and I hope that I
Can have a better future. But in my opinion, the path of life needs to be explored and chosen by oneself, and I don’t want to be influenced by other people’s ideas.”
His voice was steady and powerful, and every word was full of firmness and determination. Fang Xuanling and the matchmaker looked at each other, and the matchmaker's lips slightly raised as if she were smiling. Fang Xuanling, on the other hand, had a calm face, as if she had expected it.
Lu Zhaolin's reaction.
The matchmaker smiled softly, with a hint of slyness in her tone: "Mr. Lu, don't refuse in a hurry. Marriage matters require careful consideration. We can take our time. I will arrange for a girl to arrive for you tomorrow.
Sit down at home and you can find out first."
Lu Zhaolin couldn't help but be a little surprised after hearing this. He didn't expect the matchmaker to be so direct and determined. He knew that this was a strategy adopted by the matchmaker to complete the task, but he didn't want to be easily manipulated by others.
He looked at the matchmaker with a hint of determination in his eyes: "Matchmaker, thank you for your kindness. But I think marriage is a very serious matter and cannot be done just to complete a task. I hope to find a truly suitable person.
, instead of letting others influence your choices.”
The matchmaker looked at Lu Zhaolin, the corner of her mouth raised slightly, with a proud smile: "That's it, if one girl is not enough, then I will call a few more, okay, that's it for today, I'll leave first!"
Her words were full of confidence and decisiveness, and it seemed that everything was under her control. However, this made Lu Zhaolin feel very embarrassed and helpless. He wanted to refuse, but found that the matchmaker had already turned around and left, so fast that he
There was no time to react.
He froze on the spot, with mixed feelings in his heart. He knew that this was Fang Xuanling's plan, asking him to use this method to win him over to join the Shengtang Group. He also understood that the matchmaker came under Fang Xuanling's instructions, and everything was wrong.
It was to achieve Fang Xuanling's purpose.
However, even though he knew that this was a trap set by others, he could not break free easily. Because once he agreed to the marriage, he would owe Fang Xuanling a favor, and this favor would have a great impact on his future development.
great help.
He turned his head and looked at Fang Xuanling, and found that Fang Xuanling was looking at him with a smile. There was a hint of cunning and pride in that smile, and it seemed that everything was as he expected. Lu Zhaolin couldn't help but feel a little annoyed, he felt like
He is a puppet being played by others.
But at the same time, he also knew that he could not get angry easily. Because although Fang Xuanling's strategy made him a little uncomfortable, it was for the sake of his future. If he could successfully join the Shengtang Group and get Fang Xuanling's support,
and help, then his life will be smoother and better.
So he took a deep breath and tried to calm down his mood: "Wei Guogong, I understand what you mean. But I hope you can give me some time to consider this matter. I don't want to make a hasty decision."
Fang Xuanling smiled slightly after hearing this: "Lu Zhaolin, I understand your concerns and concerns. Marriage matters do need to be carefully considered. I will give you enough time to make a decision. But I also want to remind you that this opportunity is rare. If
If you miss it, you may regret it.”
After saying that, Fang Xuanling turned around and left, leaving Lu Zhaolin standing there alone, with a lot of thoughts in her heart.
