Lin Ran's biological father is still lying in the hospital, and his biological mother is being chased for debts by other relatives of the Lin family. It can be said that she is at the end of her rope. Where can she get the money to invest?
"This one million is my sincerity. If Mr. Guo agrees to cooperate, I will invest an additional 10 million in the future."
Lin Ran's vowing tone made Guo Chengming more and more curious as to where she got the money.
But he didn't show it on his face, and he didn't directly accept Lin Ran's money.
Lin Ran seemed to be very eager for him to agree to investment cooperation. Seeing that he didn't answer, he took the initiative and said: "Mr. Guo needs time to think about it. How about we meet at Yunshen Restaurant in three days to talk?"
Guo Chengming pretended to be thoughtful and reluctantly agreed.
After Lin Ran left, he immediately called Chi Zao and asked her what to do.
Chi Zao said: "Let's go with the flow and see who she has found as a backer this time."
Guo Chengming understood immediately.
Based on Lin Ran's personal ability, her assets did not exceed tens of millions before the Lin family went bankrupt. Now that they are bankrupt, where does the money come from? It is naturally given by others behind the scenes.
Ning Cheng, who else can be Lin Ran's backer?
This is indeed curious.
So, Guo Chengming came to Yunsheng Restaurant to keep the appointment.
"Ms. Lin is waiting for you in the box."
After the manager said this, he pushed open the box door for Guo Chengming.
When the door opened, Lin Ran looked over, stood up to greet him, and smiled broadly: "Mr. Guo, you are here."
Guo Chengming paused slightly and looked at Lin Ran.
What she wore today was particularly feminine.
The deep V hip-hugging red dress outlines all of her graceful girlish curves. Her exquisite makeup and mature wavy long hair hang down on her shoulders, brushing against the plump career line that is deliberately displayed...
Tsk.
Guo Chengming narrowed his eyes slightly.
After all, she is an old fox in the shopping mall. There are many women who like to play this kind of tricks. Lin Ran is obviously a newbie and thinks he knows the preferences of old men. Little does he know that this kind of behavior of exposing flesh to attract people's attention will only attract people's attention.
It feels cheap.
However, Guo Chengming didn't show it on his face. He casually walked into the box and sat down. He glanced at Lin Ran and sneered: "What, Miss Lin said she was sincere, is this her sincerity?"
Such a pointing look and a disdainful tone.
The smile on Lin Ran's face suddenly froze, and he smiled softly and said: "Mr. Guo is joking. I am just an intermediary, Mr. Guo's real partner. I will be here in a moment."
"Oh? There is a second person? A few days ago, Miss Lin came directly to our door with a box of money and said that she wanted to invest in our resort project. I thought it was Miss Lin who wanted to cooperate with me. But it wasn't?"
Guo Chengming deliberately said in a very disappointed tone.
Lin Ran's face looked a little ugly when he heard this. But it was normal to think that the other party was now Chi Zao's financial sponsor. As Chi Zao's financial sponsor, he knew that she and Chi Zao would not deal with each other, so naturally he would not have a good attitude towards her.
That day, she went directly to find Guo Chengming with money, just to put a bait to see Guo Chengming's attitude.
Guo Chengming's coming obviously means that in his mind, Chi Zao, his little lover, is not as important as business.
Then, she definitely still has a chance to make a comeback!
Lin Ran was thinking quickly, looked at Guo Chengming, poured him a glass of wine, and said with a smile: "Although the real investor is not me, I will never let you down, Mr. Guo. That person is... the Xiao family."
"Um?"
Xiao family?
Guo Chengming's heart skipped a beat, and he became even more confused.
The Xiao family's status in Ningcheng is indeed not low.
But for the most part, in fact, Xiao Yu, Young Master Xiao, is even more famous. After all, people in Ningcheng may not know about the Xiao family, but there is absolutely no way they don’t know Young Master Xiao.
Xiao Yu has such a reputation that when everyone hears the word "Xiao family", their first reaction will be "Xiao Yu", but when they hear "Master Xiao", they will not say how powerful the Xiao family is.
That's the difference.
All the reputation of the Xiao family seems to come from Xiao Yu and is just an accessory to him.
If Lin Ran didn't directly talk about Mr. Xiao, then the backer behind the scenes this time would be someone from the Xiao family.
Just as I was thinking about it, the door of the box was pushed open.
Guo Chengming saw a brighter smile on Lin Ran's face, stood up and walked towards the door.
He looked up and saw a man in his thirties.
look familiar.
Like Xiao Hui, the second son of the Xiao family.
"Young Master, you are here."
As soon as Lin Ran opened his mouth, he basically confirmed the identity of the man that Guo Chengming guessed.
Guo Chengming did not get up.
Xiao Hui's eyes fell on Lin Ran, and there was a faint lustful look in his eyes. He raised the corner of his mouth, then put his hands on Lin Ran's waist, and whispered: "Huh? Are you so anxious?"
His hand also deliberately squeezed her slender waist.
Lin Ran felt pain, his face changed slightly, he suppressed the nausea surging in his heart, and said with a smile: "Young Master, let's talk about business first. Don't keep Mr. Guo waiting."
This reminds him that there are still outsiders.
Xiao Hui's face darkened, feeling unhappy.
Lin Ran saw this and said quickly: "Mr. Guo's resort project is a very good opportunity."
Hearing this, Xiao Hui's face brightened a little, and then he remembered the purpose of coming to see people today.
He walked towards Guo Chengming unhurriedly, extended his hand and smiled: "Mr. Guo? Nice to meet you."
Guo Chengming stood up and shook his hand, "Young Master Xiao, I've heard about his reputation for a long time."
"You two have gotten to know each other. Let's sit down and talk in detail."
After Lin Ran asked the two of them to sit down, he sat down next to Xiao Hui.
While Xiao Hui and Guo Chengming were talking, the hand under the table had already touched Lin Ran's thigh, rubbing it back and forth with obvious intentions.
Lin Ran had goosebumps all over his body and wanted to smash the hand on his leg, but he couldn't.
She has no choice now.
No one in the Xiao family, except Xiao Hui, could give her another chance to turn around.
She has completely lost Xiao Yu as her backer.
Lin Ran was filled with hatred in his heart, but on the outside, he wanted to flatter the two of them.
"Mr. Guo, I'm here to talk to you personally. Isn't your resort project short of money? If the investment of 10 million is not enough, I can add more."
Short of money?
Where did Lin Ran get the news?
Guo Chengming found it funny. With Chi Zao as a financial backer, it was strange to be short of money.
However, no matter where Lin Ran got the information, she now knew that the new backer she was looking for was Xiao Hui, the eldest son of the second wife of the Xiao family.
Xiao Hui does have some power in the Xiao Group now, but compared with Xiao Yu...oh, no, there is no comparison at all.
Guo Chengming had made up his mind, and when he saw the look in Xiao Hui's eyes at Lin Ran, what else could he not understand?
He lit the cigarette, squinted his eyes, and looked at the two of them with a half-smile, "Ten million is indeed not a small amount, but the additional investment needs to be considered again."
"Too little?"
Xiao Hui looked at Guo Chengming with arrogant eyes, "Or does Mr. Guo not trust me?"
Lin Ran became anxious when he heard Guo Chengming said that he still had to think about it, "Does Mr. Guo have other concerns? Mr. Guo is a businessman, and he will never give up such a good cooperation opportunity with the Xiao family just because of some people, right?"
"
When she said this, she almost didn't say Chi Zao's name directly.
Lin Ran looked directly at Guo Chengming and said solemnly: "Mr. Guo, you should also know that reaching a cooperation with the Xiao family will only be beneficial to you."
