An Lan motioned for me to answer, so I immediately answered the call and turned on the speakerphone.
"Why are you calling me so many times?" Wang Yi's soft voice came from the other end of the phone, as if he was drunk.
I didn't talk nonsense to her and said directly: "Did you see the text message I sent you?"
"Looked at it."
"Then let me ask you, are you ready to drop another round?"
"Yes." Her answer was still simple.
I continued to ask: "Wang Yi, tell me honestly, did you choose this yourself? Or were you bewitched by others?"
Wang Yi's laughter came from the other end of the phone: "What? Do you think I'm being taken advantage of? You've known me for so long, don't you know me at all?"
An Lan and I looked at each other, I took a deep breath, and then said in a deep voice: "What are you doing this for?"
"Beat you and win the European market."
An Lan suddenly took over and said, "Wang Yi, do you really want the market? You should know the consequences of doing this?"
"What is it?" Wang Yi sneered, "Why, this has just begun, are you afraid? I'm not afraid, so what are you afraid of?"
An Lan continued: "Fenix is not as simple as you think. You may have fallen into his trap, and you will be played by him. I really hope you can think about your own
situation."
An Lan said, suddenly paused, and added in a more serious tone: "Wang Yi, I really hope you can think about it carefully, I am doing it for your own good."
"Haha" Wang Yi suddenly laughed and interrupted An Lan, "For my own good? This is really the funniest joke I have heard this year."
"You think this is a joke, but this is my truth. I know you hate me, but there is no need for the grudge between us to escalate to such an extent that we end up dying inexplicably. We really don't want to keep fighting like this."
Wang Yi suddenly fell silent. In her silence, I said: "Wang Yi, listen to me, can we find a time to have a good talk?"
Before I finished speaking, Wang Yi said: "Okay! Come to me now and I will have a good talk with you."
"What did you say? Now?" I said in a daze.
"Yes, now, if you don't want to, I will go to London early tomorrow morning."
After saying that, she added: "However, you can only come alone. I don't want to see anyone I don't want to see now."
After saying that, she hung up the phone.
An Lan and I looked at each other, I rubbed my nose and said, "You all heard it, she asked me"
"Go ahead." An Lan said to me cheerfully before I could finish speaking.
"She's talking about now."
"I know, I don't worry about you. You have to have a good talk with her about this matter. If she does this, it will also hurt us."
I thought for a moment and said, "How about you come with me."
"Didn't she just say that if she doesn't want to see people she doesn't want to see, she's talking about me?"
"You can wait for me in the car."
An Lan waved her hand and said, "No, you can go ahead. I don't worry about you."
I hesitated for a moment, grabbed the coat on the chair and put it on myself, saying, "Okay, I'll be back soon."
After saying that, I picked up the car keys and hurried out.
Half an hour later, I drove to Wang Yi's residence.
This is my third time here, and it seems like every time I come here I try to persuade her to stop.
After I parked the car, I walked to the door and rang the doorbell.
Wang Yi's voice came from inside: "The door is unlocked."
I raised my hand and gently pushed the door open. I stood at the door and looked inside, and saw Wang Yi sitting on the sofa in the living room.
She was wearing a sleeveless slim-fitting dress, which was nude and looked very aristocratic. The highlight was the irregular waist tightening, which looked very textured.
This kind of clothing usually appears at some banquets, but this was at home, and I still couldn't figure out why she was dressed so solemnly.
"Come in, why are you standing at the door?" Her voice came again.
When I walked into the living room, I discovered that there were two bottles of red wine in front of her. One of them had been drunk, and the other half was also half-drunk.
No wonder her voice sounded hazy when I heard it on the phone before. It turned out that she had really been drinking.
After seeing me coming, she picked up another goblet, poured red wine into it, and then handed it to me.
I shook my head and declined, "I drove here."
"Aren't you here to negotiate with me? What's negotiation without drinking?"
In fact, I haven't had a drink since my last surgery, and I even smoke very little.
I still persisted and said to her: "Wine can easily make people get lost. You'd better not drink it. Let's have a good talk."
But she still kept the gesture of handing the wine glass to me, looking at me expressionlessly and not speaking.
"Are you willing to drink it only if I drink it?" I asked.
Although I still didn't speak, the expression on my face told me: Yes.
I smiled bitterly, took the wine glass from her hand, and then raised my head and drank it in one gulp.
But she poured it for me again, and I finally couldn't bear her silence and said, "If this is your attitude, then I think I'd better say goodbye!"
After saying that, I turned around and prepared to leave her house.
At this time, Wang Yi finally stopped me: "Do you know how broken I am now?"
I stopped but didn't turn around.
She continued: "YM has repeatedly forced me to lower prices, and the company also owes huge debts. I haven't slept for several days and nights."
I finally turned around and looked at her, and after a moment of silence I said, "You shouldn't have told me about the debt your company owes. We are still rivals now."
She looked at me with a smile, then picked up the two wine glasses on the coffee table and stood up, walking towards me.
She handed one of the wine glasses to me, and then took the initiative to touch it with me, looking at me with tender eyes.
After she took a sip of wine, she slowly said: "Actually, I can tell you anything. I wish I could tell you everything about me. Sometimes I can hardly bear it anymore. I hope you can
by my side."
After she finished speaking, her eyes were already moist.
I'm not stupid, I can understand the meaning of her words, but what can I do?
I still didn't say a word. I raised my head and took a sip of wine to relieve the embarrassment of having nothing to say.
She returned to the sofa and sat down, put down the wine glass in her hand, looked at me anxiously, and said, "Chen Feng, I really can't hold it anymore."
I took a deep breath, walked to the sofa and sat down, and then said to her: "As early as a week ago, I told you that we should not fight among ourselves. The result would be a lose-lose situation for both sides."
After a pause, I added: "This time, if we hadn't found the investment, then I would be the one who is in trouble right now. Who will benefit in the end? You and I both know."
Wang Yi suddenly laughed, but his smile was desperate.
She turned her head and wiped away her tears, then took a deep breath and said, "I lost. I was still too naive. I thought I was no worse than An Lan, but now I'm really convinced."
I looked at her helplessly and said, "Do you still think so now? Do you have to tell the difference?"
"Yes, I am so stubborn. I just want to compete with her. Chen Feng, am I really worse than An Lan?"
