"Mr. Zhao Qi, what do you do for a living?"

Lu Nanzhi calmly stared at the man in front of her. She neither invited him in nor opened her mouth to drive him away.

So the two of them maintained such a stiff and awkward distance... Zhao Qi stood at the door, and Lu Nanzhi sat on the sofa indoors.

"My father asked me to come."

After a while, Zhao Qi confessed frankly and asked cautiously: "Can I come in and sit down?"

Lu Nanzhi lowered her eyebrows and held the tea cup. The tea in the cup had cooled down, reflecting her downcast cheeks... The previous conversation had just mentioned Zhao. Her emotions towards Zhao were very complicated, and her emotions towards Zhao Qi.

It's also very complicated.

If we say that this is an ignorant and terrible dandy... But after the marriage, he has not touched a finger on himself. He knows the meaning of this marriage better than himself.

Outside, many people describe Zhao Qi as a trash who does all kinds of evil.

In fact, only the description of mud is the most appropriate.

He couldn't hold up the wall, and he knew he couldn't hold it up... So he only squandered, drank, had fun, and made friends within the scope allowed by Zu Yin. According to his "consumption" method, Zhao's huge financial resources could be easily

Loosely support him for life.

This is a puddle of mud, and it is also a puddle of qualified mud.

But if he had applied to take over some projects as a "successor" over the years, and replaced the decision-making of Huazhi's senior management with his own opinions... that would be a real disaster.

With a few wrong decisions, the Zhao family will collapse in a few years. The collapse of the building often only takes one person, one night, one person.

"There's dancing outside..."

Zhao Qi saw that his wife had no intention of rejecting him, so he entered slowly and very gently. He closed the door and came to the sofa. His posture and expression were a little reserved, and he said slowly: "I saw your sister.

...It has been ten years since she left Dadu."

Lu Nanzhi didn't know what to say, so she just hummed softly.

ten years.

In fact, she felt a little bit relieved in her heart. Zhao Qi could tell ten years, which meant that he still remembered what happened back then, unlike those people outside who could only say "many years" and "a long time".

Ambiguous emotional words.

There is only one such greeting.

Because even if you are as stupid as Zhao Qi, you know that... there is really nothing to say in the matter of greetings. He and Lu Nanzhi only have a nominal relationship as husband and wife, and the relationship between them is as indifferent as water, and there is no bullshit."

"One day brings a hundred days of grace to a husband." It is a great blessing to be able to enter this reception room.

He said frankly: "Actually...it was my father who asked me to come."

"……I know."

Lu Nanzhi took a sip of her slightly cold tea and calmed down. She looked at the man in front of her and said slowly, "But I really didn't expect that Mr. Congressman would let you come in contact with me first..."

What kind of trick is this?

Today's free dance is actually a silent battlefield without smoke.

Chen San from the Nanwan faction immediately had a secret conversation with him, hoping to confirm the final opinions on the Awakening Act... and further establish an alliance and cooperation between the two parties.

But until now, Cui Zhongcheng and Zhao Xilai have not made any move.

They arrived at the Liberty Auditorium, but they did not participate in the conversation in the living room, nor did they come to see me... It seemed that they were waiting for the symphony concert in the auditorium hall to start.

So these two want to make their final appearance.

But Zhao Xilai actually sent an...unexpected "vanguard".

"Father asked me to come and see you..."

Zhao Qi smiled softly and said: "Actually, I don't really want to come, or I don't dare to come, because for me... you are really a being that is too far away, too sacred, and too ethereal."

After some compliments, Lu Nanzhi didn't react at all.

Zhao Qi did not continue to talk nonsense, but directly got to the point.

"Father hopes that you can change your attitude about the Awakening Bill... Huazhi will fully support all your political opinions, except the bill." Zhao Qi took out a contract from his arms, "This is my father's will that has not been made public."

He put the contract on the table and slowly pushed it over. While staring into his wife's eyes, he slowly said: "Zhao will give away 51% of the shares of Huazhi Building, and you will have absolute control of Huazhi." Power... This is far better than the wealth that Mr. Lu Cheng had back then, which has increased dozens of times in ten years. You will become the most prominent and greatest woman in Dongzhou, and even the entire five continents, second only to the one in the northern fortress. Bit."

Huazhi's shares are for wealth.

The seat of a member of Parliament is for power.

Lu Nanzhi looked at the contract silently. She did not open the document, but she was shocked by Zhao Xilai's courage just by listening to the words... This kind of concession was even more outrageous than cutting flesh, and it was by no means comparable to the conditions offered by Nanwan. of.

"Father's time is running out. If everything goes well, then after he leaves, he will leave me a simple trust fund. The Zhao family will still exist, but it will no longer be the owner of Huazhi... just like Shi Like years ago." Zhao Qi said in a very soft voice: "If you are willing, you can choose to end the relationship with Zhao at any time... At that time, I will take the initiative to end the marriage with you and return your innocence. The reputation of being extraneous.”

In addition to wealth, power... and the reputation of having been in business for many years.

All were brought to him.

This guy who looked like a puddle of mud actually said something that could affect the entire five continents.

"I do not understand."

Lu Nanzhi rubbed her eyebrows and murmured softly, "I don't understand why things turned out like this... This kind of decision-making is not like Mr. Congressman's style."

Zhao lost everything.

They all made wedding clothes for themselves.

"You really chose the wrong person to say these things to me." Zhao Qi shrugged helplessly, "I know my position very well. I'm just a fool and can't think of such profound questions... So, I can't give you anything. Any answers.”

"These are the words that my father asked me to pass on. If you have any confusion, I think it is necessary for you to have a good talk next time."

Speaking of this, Zhao Qi's sitting posture suddenly changed. He began to sit very seriously and spoke very seriously, "Actually, I also have what I want to say...even if I am a useless waste."

"Not long ago, I also read the speeches made by the candidate members."

"Father seems to be shocked. This incident is beyond everyone's expectation. I heard that Huazhi was holding a celebration banquet at that time." Zhao Qi laughed softly, "These guys have opened their champagne and are preparing to celebrate the bill war in advance. You won a great victory, and then the camera turned and you expressed your objection, everyone was shocked... This is really an interesting scene, but it's a pity that I was not there to witness it with my own eyes."

"I don't know why, but I had a hunch that you would object."

Zhao Qi said lightly: "I have no evidence, no thinking...just intuition. From the day you married the Zhao family, I felt that sooner or later you would stand up and stand against the Zhao family."

"Looking at it now, my hunch is quite accurate."

Mr. Zhao laughed at himself: "So a long time ago I asked myself...if one day Lu Nanzhi comes to the opposite side of the Zhao family, how should I deal with it? Most of the media said it right, I am just a waste with no ability.

I live a prosperous life all because I have a good father. If my father is no longer here one day, I will be nothing."

"For a woman like you to marry the Zhao family, it is a blessing for the Zhao family, but a disaster for me... Because once you become my opponent, even ten of me tied together will be equally vulnerable."

Lu Nanzhi looked at Zhao Qi silently.

She has some doubts now... Is this really the mud that has been reviled and looked down upon by millions of people?

A person who has such a clear understanding of himself... can he still be a puddle of mud?

"What do you want to say?"

"What I want to say is very simple... If I can't prevent the worst situation from happening, then why should I struggle and continue to mess up." Zhao Qi said softly: "Actually, I just want a sum of money... a sum of money.

This amount of money is enough for me to eat, drink and have fun. To you, to Mrs. Zhao, this amount of money is just a drop in the bucket, right?"

Reality gave me a hard punch.

How to avoid being knocked down?

Some people choose to resist the pressure, straighten their spines, and stand up hard——

But Mr. Zhao's idea is very novel... I just need to lie down... and no one can knock me down.

"If you insist on holding an objection, then this fight will gradually turn into a tug-of-war. My father will definitely modify his will, and I will still be the final heir." Zhao Qi said softly: "I came here today just to say

An unlucky, but possibly possible situation—"

"Have you ever thought about what would happen if he passed away during the struggle?"

Lu Nanzhi fell silent.

If the will is revised and Zhao Qi becomes the largest controller of Huazhi, then this foundation that countless people have devoted their efforts to, this building that his father regarded as a dream, will collapse soon.

"In a struggle, one side does not necessarily have to win."

"It could also be...a lose-lose situation."

"This - that's why I'm here, to avoid a lose-lose situation."

"I don't care about one billion or ten billion, because it's too much... I can't spend it in this lifetime. What use are the flowers to me? Since everyone wants me to be a waste, then I can just continue to be a waste.

." Zhao Qi smiled without any courtesy or shame and said: "I came to you because I hope I can still retain the capital of being a waste... I used to chew on the old, but now I am just a different person and become a soft rice. I don't care.

.”

"If I give in and cooperate... I guess your progress will go smoothly, right?"

"..."

Lu Nanzhi looked at Zhao Qi. Today's conversation gave her a new understanding of the man in front of her. He was by no means as useless as the public thought. At least he was self-aware, and he was despicable enough... to be shameless...

He unethically used his father's hard work as a bargaining chip in exchange for actual benefits.
To be continued...
