Zhou Jie failed to drag Yu Jing away, so he sneaked around outside and found an excuse to rush over. He sat down and complained a few words: "It's true that my instructor insisted on letting us do experiments on the weekend yesterday.
But I just got in the car, but I called again and said that today's experiment was canceled without saying anything - isn't this a torment?"
Cao Mo and Cheng Xi both smiled. Only then did they see Cheng Xi's mother and others walking out of Xian Yin Japanese Materials on the opposite side.
The dessert shop they were in had a semi-open structure, with only half-height wooden railings separating the booths from the external public area. Ding Xuerong, who followed Cheng Xi's mother and others out of hiding, clearly saw them sitting there.
In the booth of the dessert shop, my eyes wandered to them twice and then they moved away abruptly.
"Ding Xuerong knows that you don't like Cheng Xi's mother, but you can still pretend not to see us. I really admire him..." Zhou Jie couldn't drag Yu Jing away, but at this time he didn't forget to give him a hand in front of Cheng Xi.
Ding Xuerong applied eye drops.
Cao Mo ignored Zhou Jie and saw that after Cheng Xi's mother and others, seven or eight people including Lu Jianchao, Lu Yan's uncle and nephew also came out of Xinyin Japanese Materials.
It can be seen that Lu Jianchao knows Cheng Xifu, Yang Jiguo, the vice chairman of Shenjiang Commercial, and Zhou Youcheng, the president of Yinguang Commercial.
After Lu Jianchao, Lu Yan and the others separated from the two middle-aged men, they stood in front of the Xiangyin Japanese Food Store and chatted with Yang Lifang, Yang Jiguo and Zhou Youcheng.
After all, Cheng Xi's mother still cared about her daughter, and she couldn't help but glance in this direction when she was chatting with Lu Jianchao and others.
Lu Jianchao and Lu Yan didn't notice Cao Mo sitting in the dessert shop until they exchanged a few perfunctory words with Yang Jiguo, Yang Lifang, and Zhou Youcheng and were about to leave, when they accidentally saw Cao Mo.
The smile that Lu Jianchao maintained during the greetings froze on his face, and he stared at Cao Mo for two or three seconds. Lu Yan also noticed Lu Jianchao's reaction and looked towards Cao Mo.
Cao Mo held the straw in his mouth, sipping the orange juice in the cup, and looked at Lu Jianchao and Yang Jiguo indifferently. After Yang Lifang said goodbye, he walked to the elevator surrounded by everyone, but Lu Jianchao stood in front of the elevator for a few seconds, and suddenly
He strode towards him.
Cao Mo's head was as big as a pockmark. He didn't want to attract Han Shaorong's attention prematurely. Naturally, he didn't want to have anything to do with Lu Jianchao and Lu Yan in this situation, but he couldn't run away.
Yang Lifang and Yang Jiguo were thinking about taking the escalator to the Yinguang Commercial Company's office to continue discussing the details of the takeover. When they saw this scene, they stopped in confusion and looked over here.
Cao Mo and the others are the only customers in the dessert shop now. No matter which one of the four Cao Mo, Cheng Xi, Yu Jing, and Zhou Jie Lu Jianchao calls, Yang Lifang, Yang Jiguo, Zhou Youcheng, and the others stop and hesitate to come over again.
.
"I heard from Shen Ji that you have returned to China. I didn't expect to meet you at Yinguang Square today by such a coincidence." Lu Jianchao said while standing outside the wooden railing.
"Yeah, what a coincidence, I'm shopping here with my friends, and Mr. Lu is also very elegant, and he actually came to eat in person!" Cao Mo stretched out and said with a smile.
Lu Jianchao came over, and Lu Yan and other entourage members naturally followed him. Seven or eight people stood in a row outside the wooden railing.
Cheng Xi and Yu Jing were both startled and looked at Cao Mo and Lu Jianchao in surprise. They didn't look like friends meeting unexpectedly.
"I wonder if you have time to sit down and have a cup of tea together in the afternoon?" Lu Jianchao asked.
"Mr. Lu, what do you want to drink? Freshly squeezed orange juice? My treat." Cao Mo asked, pointing to the many empty booths in the dessert shop.
Lu Yan's eyelids twitched.
They drank freshly squeezed orange juice with Cao Mo's grandson in a dessert shop? Not to mention the past, he couldn't even imagine it now.
"Then let's have a cup of freshly squeezed orange juice." Lu Jianchao did not refuse, but walked around the wooden railing and walked into the dessert shop.
Cao Mo and the others were in a four-person booth. He sat with Cheng Xi, and Zhou Jie sat with Yu Jing. Lu Jianchao pointed to the empty corner next to Zhou Jie, and said with a very gentle smile: "Brother, lend me a corner."
Sit down."
Zhou Jie didn't know what the relationship between the middle-aged man in front of him and Cao Mo was, but he was a little intimidated by Lu Jianchao's momentum. He stood up hastily and hurriedly gave up his seat to Lu Jianchao.
Zhou Jie was holding the orange juice he had drunk in his hand. He saw that Lu Yan and others were still in front of the dessert shop with no intention of walking in. And when he saw Yu Jing being blocked by Lu Jianchao in the booth, he was at a loss for a moment, which was not good.
I sat down at the next table and stood awkwardly in the narrow aisle.
"Cao Mo, do you know Mr. Lu?"
Her daughter Cheng Xi was sitting with Cao Mo. Seeing this scene, Yang Lifang could not turn a blind eye and walk away, so she walked towards the dessert shop with Yang Jiguo, Zhou Youcheng and others.
"We, Dongsheng and Taihua, are currently the two largest Chinese-owned enterprises in Kanem. I have also been fortunate enough to meet Mr. Lu a few times - I didn't expect that Mr. Lu is so approachable. When I met him here, I could sit down and accompany him.
I'll drink a glass of orange juice." Cao Mo said lightly.
Yang Lifang stared at Cao Mo's face suspiciously. How stupid could she be to believe that the second son of the Lu family, who usually had high eyesight, was really an approachable person?
"So Mr. Yang, you also recognize Cao Mo?" Lu Jianchao is more familiar with Yang Jiguo, and if Taihua hadn't been in trouble this time, he wouldn't have talked to a character like Yang Lifang.
"Cao Mo is my daughter Cheng Xi's high school classmate. We had dinner together just now..." Yang Lifang, an outsider, did not want to admit that the two families had any friendship, so she only picked the most superficial relationship.
"This is Mr. Yang's daughter. Who does she look like? There is really no shortage of beautiful girls around Manager Cao." Lu Jianchao looked at Cheng Xi. He had poisonous eyes, but he didn't think Cheng Xi
His relationship with Cao Mo was just that of ordinary high school classmates. He stood up and invited Yang Lifang to sit in the dessert shop.
"Aunt Yang, please sit here!" Yu Jing stood up in a hurry at this time, and finally found an opportunity. Of course, she hurriedly gave the seat that seemed to have needle felt under her buttocks to Yang Lifang. She would rather go with Zhou Jie
Standing aside awkwardly.
Lu Jianchao did not invite Yang Jiguo and Zhou Youcheng into the dessert shop. Besides, Lu Yan and several senior executives from Taihua were still standing outside the dessert shop. Yang Lifang felt that this scene was a bit too weird and said with a smile: "Mr. Lu has time for tea.
, why don’t we find a tea room or coffee shop downstairs to sit down?”
Lu Jianchao looked at Cao Mo inquiringly.
Cao Mo lowered his head and bit the straw in the cup. Only a lunatic would find a teahouse and sit down to drink tea with Lu Jianchao, Yang Lifang and the others!
"I have a few questions. Just ask Manager Cao here." Lu Jianchao said to Yang Lifang.
"Okay, you guys talk, I'll go over and order a few more drinks for you." Yang Lifang didn't want to get too embarrassed, so she could only run to the front desk and order a drink for everyone present, but
His attention was still on Cao Mo. He really couldn't figure out what was going on that required Lu Jianchao to sit in front of Cao Mo so seriously and ask questions.
"I really didn't expect you and Liang Yuan to be in the same group. Rumisu Jidam was so unjustly defeated!" Lu Jianchao said with emotion.
"Mr. Lu, you don't really think that Western Union Oil is a hole I dug for you, do you? Mr. Lu, you are overthinking it. How can I be as capable as you think, Mr. Lu? All of this is just after what happened, someone thought
Just ask me to contact you if you want to dispose of the shares of Western Union Petroleum. I will only get some intermediary fees from it." Cao Mo said with a slight smile.
Although Cao Mo, Nitz Oppenheimer, and Ensanger and his son had emphasized that they should keep the Western Union Oil transaction confidential, the Oppenheimer family was eager to cooperate with the Lu family, and they probably forgot this on purpose when contacting them.
.
Fortunately, he had been careful before, and did not let Nsanghe do anything during the previous transactions.
They realized that Zhou Han was the real holder of 60% of the shares of Western Union Petroleum.
Not to mention that Liang Yuan would never dare to contact the Lu family at this time, but even if Lu Jianchao knew everything, what would Cao Mo have to fear from them?
Now the Lu family is afraid of him, but he is not afraid that the Lu family can still bite him.
"Manager Cao made a lot of noise in order to get the intermediary fee." Lu Jianchao asked pointedly.
"What kind of noise have I made that can surprise and deceive Mr. Lu?" Now Lu Jianchao believes that he is cooperating with the Benin military and other forces to kill the Jidam family. Naturally, he has his reasons, but this is not the case.
It doesn't stop Cao Mo from denying it even to death.
"When we play dumb riddles like this, we will never get the answer," Lu Jianchao looked at Cao Mo, pondered for a while and asked, "I just want to ask Manager Cao, do you have any good suggestions for Taihua's investment in Kanem?
"
Although the Oppenheimer family had contacted them and made a formal request for cooperation, and even took the initiative to reveal many details of their acquisition of control of Western Union Petroleum, how could Lu Jianchao dare to trust the Oppenheimer family so easily?
It was Liang Yuan who suggested that the Guidam family and the Bonya family join forces to engage in oil smuggling. Later, the Benin military annihilated the Guidam family's smuggling fleet - Liang Yuan disappeared from the world and was never heard from again.
However, the control of Western Union Oil passed through Cao Mo's hands to the Oppenheimer family.
Cao Mo said that he and Liang Yuan were not conspiring together. Who would believe it?
At most, Oppenheimer and the Benin military had Cao Mo's collusion.
And it was Cao Mo who was the first to see through Ufo Boniya's coup plot. Cao Mo stayed in Akwa and heavily funded the Democracy Promotion Front in order to prevent Ufo Boniya from launching a coup. In their eyes, he was almost
It's an open secret.
After the destruction of the Jidam family's smuggling fleet, Ufo Bonya's coup attempt was also shattered. Including Ufo Bonya, three hundred mid-level and senior officers of the Akwa army were arrested.
After a short interrogation, more than a hundred people were directly shot to death by the Saiwei authorities.
As well as the relationship between Cao Mo and the Tubman family, Guo Jian had already guessed it. What reason does Lu Jianchao have now to think that Cao Mo is not the mastermind behind the scenes?
Even if they think Cao Mo can't do this alone, even if they think there is a stronger force behind Cao Mo, no matter what, Cao Mo must be the most crucial person.
Taihua wants to return to Kanem. Before he has negotiated terms with Cao Mo or the forces behind Cao Mo, how dare he easily cooperate with the Oppenheimer family?
Otherwise, who knows whether the Oppenheimer family will be another trap?
"Mr. Lu wants to hire me as a consultant to Taihua?" Cao Mo was not surprised at all by Lu Jianchao's attitude. He was still waiting for the Lu family to take the bait. He didn't expect to meet him at Yinguang Plaza today, but he also He would not answer Lu Jianchao's question directly, but just smiled and said, "It's rare for Mr. Lu to give me a way to make money. When will I go to Taihua to sign a consulting agreement?"
"I wonder what your consulting fee is?" Lu Jianchao asked.
"I will earn hard money. It depends on what Mr. Lu wants to consult. Is it just one time or a long-term cooperation?" Cao Mo said with a smile, "If we cooperate for a long time, my annual consulting fee is 200,000; if we cooperate, Mr. Lu, I’ll charge you 40,000 yuan for one consultation fee - I’m having a treat at noon today and it cost me 40,000 yuan. I’m heartbroken. It’s rare that Mr. Lu is willing to fill this gap for me.”
Lu Jianchao's eyes twitched and he asked again: "What Shen Ji said about Tianyue probably doesn't count, right?"
"Haha," Cao Mo said with a smile, "I really don't know about many things. Mr. Lu, don't always try to find out information from me - but after Mr. Lu pays the consulting fee, I can help you find out; you guys Even if you want to know what color underwear Shen Ji is wearing today, I can call you and ask..."
