The blond man stared at Lin Xiluo calmly, and when he saw the facial features of the oriental man opposite him softening the moment he picked up the phone, an inexplicable smile appeared on his handsome face.
This was not the first time that he and Linxiluo had negotiated face to face, and the other party did not like to be disturbed at such a critical moment, let alone answer any phone calls. However, this man made an exception today.
After knowing Lin Xiluo for so many years, he has always given the impression that he is arrogant, cold and tough. I have never seen him show such an expression in front of others.
Although he couldn't understand what Linsilo said, but listening to him talking to the person on the phone with great gentleness and only the whispers between lovers, Murray suddenly felt a little curious about the identity of the person he was talking to.
.
His blue eyes glanced at the watch on his wrist. It was now 1:30 in the afternoon, which should be early morning in China. So, who would call him in the middle of the night? No matter who it was, this person must be very important to him.
.
Linxiluo smiled and hung up the phone, then put on his indifferent expression again and looked at the man sitting opposite him, the owner of Murray Company, Ryan Murray.
"Murray, it is absolutely impossible for me to agree to such an excessive request. If you continue to talk loudly, I can only regret to tell you that the negotiations between us have broken down and our cooperation has ended.
Finish."
Murray kept shaking his head, "No, Lin, our cooperation cannot end because of this failure. This will be a huge loss for both you and us. I advise you to try again."
think about it."
"The tax rate of 7.6% and the price difference of 11.4% are my bottom line, and they can never be higher."
The blond foreigner waved his finger, "No, my psychological price points are 7.7% and 11.6%." Seeing Lincicol's deep black eyes twitching, he then added, "It won't be raised again within two years."
,how do you feel?"
Lin Xiluoying's eyebrows tightened tightly, "Let me think about it again."
Looking at the man with a tense face, the man with blond hair and blue eyes curled his lips and stood up from the boss's chair. "Dear Lin, it's already so late. Let's go get something to eat first," he said.
, while deliberately patting his stomach, "I'm almost starving."
Lin Xiluo nodded, and the two of them walked out side by side.
When we arrived at the restaurant, it was already past the dining peak. There were a few company employees sitting here and there throughout the restaurant. When they saw the boss and a strange oriental man walking over, they immediately nodded slightly to them.
Although they didn't know the identity of this man, judging from his demeanor and gestures, he must be no ordinary person. Most of them were business partners of the boss.
Murray ordered a grilled veal steak with French fries and a green salad.
Since Linsilo had just arrived in the United States, he had not yet recovered from the jet lag and had no appetite. In addition, the negotiation with Murray was very unpleasant, so he just casually ordered a ham sandwich and a cup of coffee.
The two of them lowered their heads and ate the food on their plates in silence. Linsilo casually took a few bites of the sandwich and drank a few sips of coffee before ending the tasteless lunch.
Murray opposite seemed to enjoy his lunch. He slowly cut a piece of beef into his mouth and chewed it slowly. He picked up a fries with the fork in his left hand, put it in the ketchup next to it and rolled it around.
Like a naughty child.
Linsilo held his chin with his right hand, tapped the joint of his left hand rhythmically on the smooth tabletop, and squinted impatiently at the bustling Manhattan commercial street outside the restaurant.
Murray put the fries into his mouth and then noticed the silver ring on Linsilo's left hand. His blue eyes suddenly flashed. Is Linsilo married?
Then I thought about it, no, I had never heard that he had a wife. I only knew that he had a fiancée, but he did not marry her later. It seemed that something happened to end their relationship.
, so what’s going on with this ring worn on the ring finger?
Putting down the knife and fork in his hand, Murray asked, "Lin, who was the person who called you just now?"
Lin Xiluo didn't turn his head. He looked out of the corner of his eye and asked, "You want to know?"
Murray nodded hurriedly, "Of course, as your old classmate, I really want to know which beauty is so lucky to be your wife. If there is a chance, I would also like to meet her in person and see.
Who is it that makes someone like you fall in love with her so much?"
"Murray, I think you may have made a mistake. I'm not married yet." The handsome side face slowly turned around, his deep eyes were meaningful, "But you are right about one thing. The person who called me is indeed
He is a beauty, he is a lovable little kitten, and he is also my most precious treasure."
When Murray heard that Linsilo said "he" instead of "she", his blue eyes opened slightly, and then he immediately understood everything.
Nodding slightly, Murray cut the steak casually and said in a teasing tone, "So you like men, so I have to be careful. A handsome and elegant man like me might not be able to do it one day."
It will become your 'meal on the plate'."
After saying that, he stuffed a large piece of roast beef with bloodshot eyes into his mouth and deliberately made a loud chewing sound.
Linsilo raised his eyebrows, "Moray, I never said that I like men, it's just that my baby happens to be the same sex as me. If it were you, I wouldn't be able to stand a foreign guy with all his muscles on me.
Moaning and begging for pleasure."
"..."
Most of the beef that was not swallowed in the future was stuck in his throat, which made Murray's face turn red all of a sudden, and he even dropped the fork in his hand on the dinner plate.
Seeing Murray's reaction, Linsilo deliberately pretended to be worried and asked, "Are you okay?"
Murray choked on the beef and couldn't breathe. He could only hold back his flushed face and took the coffee from Linsilo. He drank several sips of it before he gradually regained his breath.
"Cough cough cough..."
After a violent cough, Murray was finally able to speak, "Lin, your move is really cruel...I almost became the first person to choke to death on steak..."
Lin Xiluo spread his hands, looking innocent, "I'm so sorry, I didn't know this sentence would bring such a big reaction to you."
Murray suddenly lost his appetite due to what he had just done. He used his fork to mash the unfinished vegetable salad with some frustration, "I said Lin, don't you still remember what happened back then?"
"Which thing?"
Murray smiled bitterly and said, "Lin, you are really good at pretending. Don't you know what I am referring to?"
Lin Xiluo nodded seriously, "That's the thing you're talking about. I'm sorry, if you didn't mention it, I would have forgotten it. When it comes to holding grudges, I think it should be you, not me.
"
After Lin Xiluo said this, Murray seemed to think of some bad memories, and his face turned red again before he could recover, "Lin, you..."
"Ryan, it turns out you are here. I have been looking for you for a long time!"
