Chapter 781 The Beginning of Cooperation
Here's what happened: When I received Xu Le's notification, I only knew that Zhu Xiaobing had returned, and I didn't know that Wu Shuang had also come along. We then went to the dam together to greet her.
So, the moment I saw Wu Shuang get out of the car, my jaw almost dropped.
As for Wu Shuang, he walked right up to me with a cold and serious expression, and then slapped me across the face.
Snap!
It was very loud.
Xu Le and the others couldn't help but take a step back.
Zhu Xiaobing exclaimed, "Holy crap, this is unexpected!"
I was completely stunned. I never expected Wu Shuang to slap me like that. What was this? Was she breaking up with me? Or what?
But then something even more unexpected happened: Wu Shuang threw herself into my arms and yelled, "You bastard!"
"Wow, this is unexpected!" Zhu Xiaobing exclaimed in surprise.
"Shut up," Xu Le said from the side.
I touched my cheek, hugged Wu Shuang tightly, and was a little confused about what she meant when she scolded me. Why did she suddenly start scolding me?
Wu Shuang looked up, and I saw tear tracks in her eyes, which surprised me a bit. Was she crying?
"Why did you leave without saying a word?" she suddenly asked.
"Uh." I thought for a moment and immediately understood why she was angry. It must be because I left the resort without saying a word that offended her. I then gave a wry smile and said, "I didn't leave without a word. I left them a note. They will understand when they see it."
"What do you understand? If you don't like those people, just say so! Why are you doing this? By leaving like this, you're just going along with their wishes and giving them an opportunity. If you do this, you'll have no chance to unify the Delta region!" Wu Shuang said angrily.
This left me feeling a bit helpless. It seemed like she knew everything. She probably went to the resort beforehand, otherwise she wouldn't have known these things.
Seeing the anger mixed with concern in her eyes, I realized that I had indeed done something wrong. I said, "I'm sorry, I was wrong. Don't worry, I will never do it again. Don't worry, I will definitely tell you when I go out in the future."
"You said it, you can't go back on your word."
"Yes, I absolutely will not go back on my word."
Wu Shuang asked, "So what are you planning to do with the Delta region? After you escaped from there, Pu Weichao told me that the other three people basically look down on you. Even if you go back, they probably won't pay any attention to you. What are you planning to do? Don't tell me you ran to the dam just to avoid these troubles. If you do, I'll break up with you immediately."
I felt a bit helpless. Having a strong, independent woman as a girlfriend puts a lot of pressure on me. Wu Shuang now controls the entire city of Hangzhou, and she has basically concentrated all the power in her hands. As for the mess in the Delta region, it should have been my job to clean it up, but due to various reasons, I gave up on it.
To be honest, I'm starting to look down on myself a little, but it's okay, I still have a chance to fight back.
I said, "It was precisely because I needed to resolve the issues in the Delta region that I sent someone to inform you, but I didn't expect you to come in person."
"What's the meaning?"
I said, "I think Zhu Xiaobing has already told you why she came to see you, right?"
"What's the purpose?" Wu Shuang was taken aback.
Didn't I tell you?
Wu Shuang said, "She told me that you sent her to find me, and that you also asked me to come to the dam."
I immediately turned to look at Xu Le. It was obvious that Xu Le was the one who orchestrated this whole thing. I was wondering why Wu Shuang suddenly appeared in the dam. It turns out that this was the reason. It seems that Xu Le had been planning to call Wu Shuang over since before.
Xu Le looked at me without any apology and said, "If I told you my purpose, you definitely wouldn't agree, so I could only use this method to invite your girlfriend over. Didn't you say your girlfriend is the leader of Hangzhou? Since we want to form an alliance, it's only right for the leaders of the two regions to meet. Don't worry, I won't lay a hand on you. If I really wanted to, you two would be dead already."
I stared at him, my eyes unfriendly. "I hope you're telling the truth, and I hope you genuinely want to cooperate."
Xu Le chuckled, "Wait a minute, I didn't bring up the cooperation, did I? You were the one who did, so you should be the one to be careful about whether it's genuine or not. I know what your purpose is in cooperating with us, so don't play the victim with me."
Wu Shuang frowned and said, "So, how do you want to talk? Are you planning to talk here?"
Xu Le said, "Of course we can't talk about this here. Cooperation can't be decided in a day or two. There are too many things involved. We need to think it over carefully. Since you brought people here, you should stay here for a few days. Let's discuss the cooperation alliance properly so that you won't say I tricked you later."
Upon re-entering the dam, Wu Shuang was captivated by the scene inside. Despite her curiosity, she still exuded an air of authority, following Xu Le with neither arrogance nor servility as they walked toward his office.
The office is large, and there's a window with a view of the outside.
Zhu Xiaobing closed the door, and Xu Le opened it and said directly, "If you want to cooperate, I need to know all your strengths and whether you are qualified to cooperate with us."
Wu Shuang said, "Why don't you tell me about yours first?"
Xu Le chuckled, "Anyway, you're all at my house now. You can go see for yourself after we're done talking."
Wu Shuang remained unmoved and began to describe the strength and situation of Hangzhou.
After listening, Xu Le asked, "It seems you didn't include the Delta region."
Wu Shuang said, "The Delta region isn't my territory, how could I possibly include it? It's already in complete chaos there, do you want to get involved?"
Xu Le raised an eyebrow. "I'm not interested in that, but from what you were saying earlier, are you planning to unify the Delta region and then make Lu Xiaonan the leader there?"
Wu Shuang said, "I guess so."
Xu Le smiled and said, "But once they unify, it won't be good for me. If the two sides unite, won't I become a lone sheep?"
"So, you're saying the strength here is actually quite average?" Wu Shuang asked.
Xu Le said, "You can think of it that way."
