Chapter 278 Gu Bai, Luo Bai



This woman, Zhao Sichun, is still somewhat useful. Unexpectedly, she gave her such good advice, letting her know to start with Xia Zhichu.

Having seen countless miserable people, Xu Yue is very good at capturing people's hearts, and Xia Zhichu's weakness is her poor family background.

Once a woman develops an inferiority complex, she will become self-doubting. Even though Si Mochen's excellence gives her a backer, she can never escape her humble background.

The gap between the two worlds also made Xia Zhichu anxious about the gains and losses of this relationship. Taking advantage of the situation at this time would only shake her state of mind, and she might even doubt herself whether she was suitable for Si Mochen.

Now that Xu Yue saw Xia Zhichu's dazed look, he knew that he had already won half of his inner battle.

She still pretended to be a noble saint and gave Xia Zhichu sincere advice, "Putting aside the difference in your family backgrounds, Mrs. Si, do you think you can help Si Mochen in business? Also, how much does Mrs. Si know about the value of this partnership? How much effort has Si Mochen put into cooperating with Tianqing Group?"

Faced with Xu Yue's aggressiveness, Xia Zhichu was completely frozen in place.

Of course she knew that Si Mochen cared about this cooperation. After all, before getting on the plane, he had already said that he had been preparing for the cooperation several months ago.

She also knew that Si Mochen's apparent indifference did not mean that he really didn't care.

After all, this is a project that he has put a lot of effort into. How can he just give up on it?

"I don't think Mrs. Si knows that Si Mochen has already invested 1 billion yuan in the early stages of this project. If this project fails, he will not only lose 1 billion yuan, but also all future profits. I roughly calculated that the profit is at least 200 to 300 million yuan."

Any number Xu Yue casually mentioned was a realm that Xia Zhichu dared not look up to.

One billion, three billion...

Even if a person goes without food and drink and works hard for several lifetimes, it is impossible to earn so much money.

But Si Mochen can.

The asset details he showed himself had an ellipsis after the hundreds of billions.

In other words, it might be far more than 100 billion, but a staggering number that she could not imagine.

Of course, Xu Yue was fighting an emotional battle, and Xia Zhichu understood that.

She was indeed moved by her words, and even thought again that she was not worthy of Si Mochen, but if Xu Yue wanted to use this to destroy her relationship with Si Mochen, she could forget about it.

"Has Miss Xu said enough?"

After a long silence, Xia Zhichu lowered his head, clenched his fists and hung them on both sides of his legs, and growled at Xu Yue in an endless and cold manner.

When she raised her head again, her face was full of pride and unwillingness to admit defeat.

"I can't help Si Mochen in business, but I will definitely not become a stumbling block to Si Mochen. Don't try to confuse me with these words and sow discord between us."

Originally, Xu Yue saw Xia Zhichu's back slightly bent, thinking that she was moved by his words. But now, meeting Xia Zhichu's cold and indifferent eyes, Xu Yue frowned fiercely.

But she quickly regained her smile, even covering her mouth with her hands while laughing softly, "Mrs. Si misunderstood. I was just reminding you to see the facts clearly. I didn't mean to sow discord."

Seeing that she was still pretending, Xia Zhichu sneered, "No best."

"But I also want to remind Miss Xu that I'm not a businessman. Your harsh words won't work on me. After all, someone like me, who grew up in a ditch, has endured no small amount of pain and ridicule. Your tactics are only suitable for young girls who are naive to the ways of the world."

She is a lost person in society, but she is not weak.

She can even give up family affection, so no one else can use emotional debt to threaten her.

"Also, you said so much just to get me to help you close the deal. Unfortunately, my husband doesn't let me get involved in business matters. Since he told your Tianqing Group to send someone else to negotiate, then I'll have to follow his rules. And please, Miss Xu, don't come to me again. Otherwise, I won't be in the mood to play along next time. I might even get itchy and want to hit someone."

After saying this, Xia Zhichu walked out of the lounge without looking back.

Xu Yue looked at her arrogant and confident back, her pretty face turned pale with anger, and she grabbed the cup and smashed it heavily to the ground.

"Damn Xia Zhichu, I don't believe I can't beat you!"

There was a vicious gleam in Xu Yue's eyes. Since today's conversation failed, she could only use tough measures next time.

Of course, if that doesn't work, she still has a chess piece by her side, who will sooner or later ruin Xia Zhichu's reputation and turn him into a piece of trash that even Si Mochen would despise.

"Chu Chu, where have you been?"

As soon as Xia Zhichu arrived at the exhibition hall, he ran into Si Mochen who was looking for him everywhere.

At that moment, her impetuous mood eased a lot, and she took the initiative to move closer to him, hugged his arm and acted coquettishly, "I didn't go anywhere, just walked around a bit."

Si Mochen had no ability to resist Xia Zhichu like this, so he softened his voice and asked, "Have you finished reading it?"

Xia Zhichu shook his head. "We haven't even seen the photos on the second floor yet. Let's go up and take a look."

Although Si Mochen was not in the mood, he agreed and accompanied her upstairs.

But I didn't expect that as soon as I entered the exhibition hall on the second floor, I ran into Gu Bai in a suit and tie, who was introducing his works to a group of scholars.

Xia Zhichu also saw Gu Bai and immediately pulled Si Mochen around, "I suddenly don't want to watch the exhibition anymore. Let's go back."

Last night, Gu Bai lured Xia Zhichu to the hotel. Although Xia Zhichu didn't know what Gu Bai's purpose was, he did help her successfully rescue Si Mochen.

Xia Zhichu felt more or less grateful in his heart.

Although he wanted to thank Gu Bai in person, he thought that Si Mochen and Gu Bai were incompatible and nothing good would happen as soon as they met. Xia Zhichu didn't want to cause trouble, so he pulled people away.

Unexpectedly, they attracted Gu Bai's attention as soon as they came up. Before they even went downstairs, Gu Bai called out to them, "Ms. Xia, Mr. Si, why don't you say hello when you meet?"

Xia Zhichu looked up and glanced at Si Mochen, and found that his face was frighteningly gloomy.

As soon as Gu Bai called her Miss Xia, Si Mochen's expression changed immediately.

Xia Zhichu really couldn't understand why Gu Bai, who looked gentle and elegant, had such a stubborn temper and insisted on confronting Si Mochen head-on.

While they were daydreaming, Gu Bai had already arrived in front of them.

"I didn't expect Mr. Si to have such a refined appreciation for art. However, Mr. Si should have told me in advance if he wanted to come to the exhibition, so I wouldn't have neglected you two."

When Gu Bai said this, the scholar who had just discussed the work with him also came closer.

One of them said, "Since Luobai has guests, we won't disturb them. We'll take our leave first."

Gu Bai nodded at them and called his assistant to see them off.

After everyone left, Gu Bai extended his hand as an invitation, "Would you like to go to my office for some tea?"
