Chapter 168: Self-deception is the most terrifying
To be fair, Wenbin has done enough for me, a friend I just met, and I am grateful to him from the bottom of my heart.
"It's all my own people, and it's vain if you say too much. If you really want to thank me, when this matter is over, you will bring your colleagues to my place to drink, which is better than anything else."
Wenbin smiled, very honest.
"This is a must." I said without thinking, "When I solve this problem, I will ask my boss to come here to buy the venue. She is the financial backer."
"Then the relationship is good."
After sitting here for a while, I got up and said goodbye. I couldn't drink the glass of strong wine called Lieyan, because I knew it was not suitable to numb myself with alcohol now, and there were still many things waiting for me to solve.
Tong Xue came to Wuzhen today. Apart from the matter between us, she has also seen the difficulties of the problem. I think she will report truthfully to her boss tomorrow. If there is no accident, Party A should allow us to postpone the construction period a little. The rest is the only group of people who are Chen Jin, who are the protagonists of the incident.
Dong Shuhan didn't find them to cause trouble for the shooting process. Perhaps our team will set off tomorrow to return to Beijing. There are not so many ifs and there are not so many inevitable. Fortunately, I met Wen Bin and was able to join Chen Jin.
I rushed back to the inn and came directly to Zhang Yao's room. I also had to discuss specific matters with her. After all, none of these things can be solved by me, a little person. She is the real decision-maker of this trip.
She was wearing a light-colored pajamas, and she probably bought them after she came here.
"Liu Lei didn't look for you at all, right?" I asked her with a wry smile.
"It's all my business to look for it or not. If you come to me, don't you just want to say this, right?"
Zhang Yao sat by the bed, looking at me with her arms folded and shoulders.
"Hey, who made you the leader?" I shook my head, knowing that some things are not suitable for being entangled in the present. "My friend and that group of people have joined the line. Chen Jin is the guy nicknamed the third brother. He left the contact information and hoped that we would meet and chat with Ya. He said that he didn't have to ask for 300,000."
After a pause, I expressed my opinion, "Every place has a specific circle. In their circle, they must abide by their rules. We have no choice. I think it is better to meet each other. If the price can be negotiated, it is the main thing to lose money and avoid disasters and speed up the shooting process."
After hearing this, Zhang Yao was silent for a moment and said, "What you said makes sense, but how much do we have to compensate? I can take out medical expenses and even mental loss expenses. After all, Jiayi beats people, and I can recognize this."
"But have you ever thought about it, what if they want to continue to blackmail? The price can be reduced, how much is appropriate? One hundred thousand? Or two hundred thousand?"
She analyzed it thoroughly. This rational woman would think of all the possibilities of things no matter when.
"What do you mean?"
"We want to meet Chen Jin. No matter what, this is the same as your friend's connection. We also need to prepare other means, bets and be too passive, and there is no residue left that is easy to be swallowed by others."
"So, is this the purpose of your decision to find your cousin today?"
Zhang Yao nodded without saying anything.
Taking a deep breath, secretly sighing at her comprehensiveness in her handling of things, I continued to ask, "Then I will try to ask him tomorrow? Are you following me?"
"My brother has called me. He and his friends come tomorrow. If there is too much time, I will go over and take a look."
"Okay, I'll go back first, you can rest sooner." As I said that, I turned around and left.
"etc."
Zhang Yao called me from behind and asked, "What do you say about Tong Xue?"
Looking back, he looked at her in confusion, and I said, "What else can I say? The facts are right in front of me. If Party A terminates the contract at this time, even if we will compensate, they will still lose more than they will. What's more, other companies can't find a model like Lin Jiayi."
"Are you confident?"
I shrugged and said truthfully: "Just seeking truth."
Zhang Yao nodded thoughtfully and said, "Tong Xue is still good to you."
“It doesn’t seem to have anything to do with work.”
"Why doesn't it matter?" Zhang Yao raised her eyebrows, "Chen Mo, remember, in the mall, you must use the resources you have in your hands for the sake of profit. Tong Xue is our resource in the Party A. Her words are worth ten of us. Do you know?"
I stood there in a daze and looked at Zhang Yao in surprise.
This is not the one I know. She is so open-minded. How could she say these words to me? Will interests really change people, or is the tip of the iceberg I saw before?
No matter what the possibility is, it is something I cannot accept.
At this time, I even felt that it was all her hand that she had asked me to take over this order: she knew early in the morning that the representative of Party A was Tong Xue. Before I went to Borui, she already knew that I had a relationship with Tong Xue, which was enough to make use of it.
No, this is impossible, this is too terrible and too complicated.
"What’s wrong with you?"
I shook my head, not knowing if other emotions were revealed in my eyes. "I can't deny that you were right, but there is no other relationship between me and her except work. I don't know what she thinks, and I don't want to know that I only know that I will try my best to complete the work you assigned, that's all. As for using her, heh, this is a total joke, we are all equal, aren't we?"
"If it's really equal, will she have to go to Wuzhen? Why should she help you like this?"
"help me?"
"An elite white-collar worker put down the things accumulated in his hands and traveled thousands of miles to Wuzhen, just to investigate whether Party B was hiding it? Do you believe it?"
"I"
"Chen Mo, it's not scary for others to lie to you. What's scary is to lie to yourself." Zhang Yao said mercilessly: "You know that she is working for you, but you are unwilling to face the reality. Okay, even if you don't take advantage of this, what about her? If you don't use her, will she not do things for you?"
"Reality, reality, what the hell is reality?"
I blushed and shouted to Zhang Yao: "She is just here to inspect the work and has no other purpose. Don't think of me as you, I'm not your capitalist!"
"Oh."
She sneered, "Whatever you think is good, go back, I'm going to sleep."
I didn't say anything, so I turned around and left. I was about to close the door heavily to vent my dissatisfaction.
Zhang Yao is not wrong, what is wrong is me, it is my innocence.
I know that Tong Xue must have other purposes when coming to Wuzhen. The words she said to me on the river bank are the best proof that I thought she would give me an answer. The answer that left me was still ambiguous in the end, so there was only the possibility that Zhang Yao said was left. Tong Xue wanted to help me overcome the difficulties through her own efforts and deal with her own company.
Why does this woman need to do this?
