Never Live Up to Your Love - C118

Li Luo and I stood there for a while. Because the show was about to begin, we couldn’t let others follow us, so we stayed in the teahouse and drank tea for an hour. After drinking it, we left and returned back to the hotel.

We had been following them for an entire day and were a little tired. Li Luo went to the kitchen to pour me a cup of ice water and then asked: “Why should we follow them?”

I took the cup of water from his hand and drank it all in one go. Then, I looked up at Li Luo and said, “Because the other party is most likely my competitor.”

Li Luo frowned and asked: “Are you really going to help your father settle this project?”

“Can’t I?”

Li Luo rushed over, and immediately sat beside me and raised his voice: “Are you crazy? How do you do that? Do you want to die? ”

Towards Li Luo’s excitement, I merely smiled and said: “I really want to take down this project. Li Luo, you should know that surviving in the Yu Family puts a lot of pressure on you, and if you don’t work hard, you will be eliminated. You won’t get any rights, and that’s why I have to complete the mission my father assigned to me.”

Li Luo said: “But this is a crime.”

He was reminding me that I knew he was worried about me, that he was not too fussy about anything else, and that he was extremely careful in that regard.

I raised my hand and landed on his shoulder as I smiled and said, “Don’t worry, I’m already an adult. I know what to do and what not to do, I won’t use the same method I did before. If I wanted to use the same method as before, I would have gone to find Lu Pingfan a long time ago. I definitely wouldn’t spend so much time following others.”

Li Luo understood the meaning behind my words, he frowned and said: “You mean to say, you want to find the person you set your mind on?”

I said, “I need to understand what kind of deal that person has with Lu Fanping. Only by knowing who the opponent is, and who the opponent is, can we have the qualification to compete. If we don’t know who the opponent is, then my enemy will be everyone, and I’ll lose right from the start, let alone squeeze into the internal list.”

Li Luo listened to me. Finally, he was relieved and agreed with me. He said, “How about I find my father and ask him about this?”

I smiled and said, “It’s too far. It’s not like your father is involved in the matters of the y city.”

Li Luo said: “Although the matters of the y city are not under his control, but you know that most of the people who go there have connections. Otherwise, he would not have told me that the mine had already been decided long ago, since he knows it’s already decided, he should also know who it is.”

The logic of Li Luo seemed to make sense. Even though the y city is a few cities away from us, it’s just as Li Luo said. People who walk this path have a wide network of connections. Since his father knew that this project had been set up a long time ago, it’s no surprise that he knows who the set person is. This way, we can save a lot of time and effort.

Still, I asked hesitantly, “Does this have anything to do with your father?”

Li Luo said: “There won’t be much of a problem.” He got up from the sofa, picked up the phone on the coffee table, and said, “I’ll call right now and ask what’s going on.”

I said, “Thank you.”

After Li Luo went to call his father, I quietly sat on the sofa and drank the cup of water in my hands. About half an hour later, Li Luo opened the door and walked out from the balcony, directly walking in front of me. He immediately asked, “How is it? Are there any results? ”

Li Luo said three words and found it.

After he finished speaking, he immediately went to find a computer, searched four search engines, and found out that it was all in French. Li Luo squinted his eyes and looked carefully, I didn’t know what was going on and anxiously asked him, “What?”

Li Luo said: “Treasure Lotus Group is a large French enterprise, its headquarters is also located in France, it started as a seafood enterprise, that year, because the local government in France began to reform the city. At that time, Treasure Lotus contracted all the urban construction projects of the French municipal government, because it was very successful in the real estate business, and in the end, it became a real estate business, and a huge financial crisis struck, the real estate industry had a total bubble, and a lot of large enterprises in this area had collapsed, but only Treasure Lotus survived until now, they had always been focused on the local area, and in France, their business could be said to be comprehensive, whether it be in the area of food, daily consumption, or household appliances, they were all very successful, and the Treasure Lotus family occupied almost 60% of the French market, but from this year onwards, the local business would not be able to satisfy their appetite, so two months ago they had already officially announced their intention to expand the overseas market.

I frowned and asked, “Since it’s a French company, how can the mine be given to a foreigner?”

Li Luo said: “This is the problem, because the owner of the Treasure Lotus was an overseas Chinese who passed away half a year ago. Everything related to the Treasure Lotus was taken over by his son-in-law.”

I said, “Or overseas Chinese?”

Li Luo said with certainty: “Yes, my father told me on the phone just now to not think about this land. He did not even have a chance because his background is not something an ordinary company can compare to.”

I said, “That big a deal?”

Li Luo acknowledged and said, “The other party already decided to gradually move the French business over to the mainland this year. Furthermore, my father has already told us about it with absolute certainty, I think there really is no way out.”

I said, “No wonder Lu Fanping had to be so careful waiting that day. That is to say, the woman we saw today was the boss of Treasure Lotus company. His husband should be the one who met Lu Fanping on the day of the banquet.”

I thought about it for a moment, then asked, “Can we find their pictures?”

Li Luo said: “Alright.” The only thing that was found was a photo of a woman, who seemed to be around twenty years old. In the character profile, there was the words “The former director of Treasure Lotus Group, Qian Jin” written on it, and even if the woman in the picture was very young, Li Luo and I could immediately recognize her with a glance. Her appearance was extremely similar to the woman today, and there was only a difference in age between the two of them.

However, we were unable to find any information regarding her husband, who is also the current chairman of the Treasure Lotus Group.

Li Luo said: “Very few news about her husband can be found online, all I know is that he is also an overseas Chinese, his identity has always been very mysterious, and he handles things very low key, but he has his methods and abilities. After looking at the few transactions that Treasure Lotus have taken place in France over the past few years, I can tell that he is more knowledgeable than the original Treasure Lotus.”

Hearing Li Luo’s words, I fell into deep thought, which meant that I have no chance of winning this project, because the opponent’s identity is higher than us by who knows how many levels, if we compete based on strength, we would definitely not be able to win.

All of a sudden, I felt that everything was a bit dim.

We were silent for a while at the same time, Li Luo asked me what to do, but even now, I still did not know what to do, but the things that On Syouwa had told me had to be done, which was a difficult problem for me for a century.

I felt a headache coming on, so I reached out my hand to rub my brow and said, “My head is hurting a little. Let’s talk about these matters tomorrow.”

Li Luo said: “Our only chance now is to see if Treasure Lotus will automatically give up on that piece of land.”

I said, “That’s impossible. This is a piece of fat, who would spit out a piece of fat that was held in their mouth? Furthermore, this is the first step in expanding their Treasure Lotus to their vision overseas, so giving up is even more impossible. ”

Li Luo said meaningfully, “But that is not necessarily the case. Since we are all Chinese, then in terms of work, we naturally have to follow the domestic methods.

I heard his words and looked up at him.

Li Luo pointed out: “Now you have a very good chance, a chance that others will not always have. It can even be said to be a very good way to break through.”

Instantly, I understood the meaning behind his words. I said, “You mean the boss of the Treasure Lotus Group?”

Li Luo said, “Yes, she would actually take the initiative to greet you yesterday. This proves that her impression of you is not bad, and she does not even reject you.

Yes, I have indeed met with the Lady Boss of the Treasure Lotus Group a few times. She really doesn’t reject me, but her unrejection doesn’t mean that she will voluntarily give up this mine for my sake and give it to me as a gift.

The relationship between us hasn’t reached this stage yet. However, things like feelings can be developed, it depends on how you guide it.

Thinking about this, things weren’t as bad as I had imagined. Trying hard to turn the situation around would still happen, and that would depend on whether the heavens would continue to help me.

Because of this, Li Luo and I discussed this matter with each other until the middle of the night. After discussing a preliminary step and coming out, we were both a little tired, and went to our respective beds to rest.

On the second day, On Syouwa still called me early in the morning to ask how things were going over here.

I told him the truth, that I had not met Lu Pingfan yet, and he was immediately a little disappointed when he said: “Little Wei, how can you be so soft and weak when doing things? Isn’t that a good chance at the party? “If you can’t see it, then go ahead and make an appointment. You know that the mine is going to start bidding soon, and at that time, there won’t be any more chances left.”

I heard him say this, but remained silent.

On Syouwa spoke after a long while: “No matter what method I use, regarding the matter of the mines, you definitely cannot fail.”

On Syouwa gave me an iron order. It looks like he has great ambition towards this land.

After a long silence, I said, “I’ll try, Dad.”

He seemed to know that his tone was a little too harsh on me, and said gently: “Little Wei, I don’t have any other intentions, this quick father held great hope for you, that’s why he gave you this task to handle. Don’t let me down, if you have any difficulties, you can tell me, I can help you, and I will do my best to help you.”

I said, “I know. I will do my best to get it.”

After On Syouwa heard my words, he nodded and said, “Alright, Father will await your good news.”

Afterwards, we hung up the phone. After the beep sounded in my ears, I glanced at the phone screen that had already turned black and sneered. Then, I turned around and left through the French window.

There was a lot of rain here, and in the past few days it had started to rain heavily. Li Luo made coffee and came back after he finished calling me. He asked me, “Is it your father?”

I sat down at the kitchen table and spread out a piece of bread.

He put a cup of coffee in front of me and whispered, “I think he’s a little biased.”

I smiled and said, “He is not biased. He only trusts me. So, no matter what, I must obtain this land.”

Hearing my words, Li Luo looked at me with hesitation. He didn’t know about the true relationship between On Syouwa and I, so he didn’t dare to disrupt the relationship. He changed the topic and asked, “What do we do now?”

I took a sip of my coffee and said, “Wait.”

Just as I finished speaking, the doorbell suddenly rang outside. Li Luo and I met eyes at the same time and I said smilingly, “It seems like the chance has come.”

I stood up from the table and walked towards the door. I didn’t immediately open the door, but after a while, I stretched out my hand and slowly pulled the door open. The face of the boss of the Treasure Lotus Group appeared outside the door.

Behind her, separated by her bodyguard, she wasn’t carrying a baby, just a small dish wrapped in foil. I couldn’t see what was inside, but I thought it might have been a biscuit cake.

When she saw me open the door, the first thing she said was, “Hey!” She greeted me with a big smile.

I was a little surprised and replied, “Hai, why have you come?”

She immediately handed me what she was holding and said, “This is the biscuit I made myself this morning. I want you to try it.”

I was a little flattered and immediately took it from her. She said with a little hesitation, “I thought you had already left today. I only came back to try my luck. I didn’t expect you to still be here.”

Since she gave me the biscuits, I naturally invited her in. I didn’t answer her for the time being, but smiled and said, “Why don’t you come in and have a glass of water?”

After all, it was breakfast time and she had already made several excuses. I could only helplessly say, “You gave me a biscuit. If you didn’t drink my water, I would have been in a lot of trouble.”

Li Luo had already left the room and went to the bedroom, so it was only the two of us here. After I invited her to sit on the sofa, I went to the kitchen and poured her a cup of warm water.

I looked outside the door and saw that the two bodyguards were standing outside vigilantly. However, this didn’t affect me because I didn’t come looking for them on my own accord.

When I had poured the water, I went over to her and handed her the glass. She saw that there were a lot of books on parenting on my sofa, and she smiled. “Hey, are you reading this book too?”

I was stunned for a second. When she looked at the book, she was already holding it in her hand, excitedly flipping through a few pages. I sat down beside her and said with a smile, “I’m just casually reading it. My child is already ten years old, so this kind of book is not very useful to me.”

When she heard me say this, she, who was still a little shy, suddenly said, “I’m reading this book too. It’s really great. It’s all about the psychology of children five or six years old and how to communicate with them. I’ve learned a lot.”

I said, “Don’t you know how to get along with children?”

I didn’t know what was wrong with that sentence. It poked her until she stopped talking. Thinking that I had said something wrong, I immediately asked, “Did I say something that I shouldn’t have said?”

She immediately waved her hand and smiled, “No, no, no.” “I really don’t know how to get along with a child,” she said, a little embarrassed, “so I read these books and learned to communicate with him.”

Hearing her words, I instantly smiled. “Actually, it’s not a big deal. I don’t need to rely on these books to get along with my child. You just have to treat him as someone of the same age and communicate with him. He’ll understand.”

She was surprised and excited to see me speak so easily. “Really?”

I smiled and said, “Yes, that’s right.”

The two of us talked for a while more about the baby, but she had been sitting there for less than half an hour when there was a knock on the door from the bodyguard, indicating that she should leave.

Feeling a little disappointed, she said, “I’m sorry, but it’s time for me to leave.”

I smiled and said, “It’s alright. Anyway, I won’t be leaving for some time now. You can come and find me anytime.”

I thought for a bit and immediately went to the side to find a piece of paper and a pen to write down my phone number. “If you don’t mind, you can give me this call in the future. It won’t be a problem even if you want to play with me.”

She immediately took the paper from me. He asked happily, “Really?”

I said, “Of course it’s true.”

She suddenly thought of a question. She asked, “We’ve been talking for so long, but I don’t know your name.”

It was only then that I realised, and stretched out my hand towards her with a smile: “My surname is Yu, you can call me Little Wei.”

She unconsciously recited my name, held my hand with both of her hands and said: “My surname is Fu, my name is Fu Ziya.”

I said, “Then I’ll call you Chanya?”

She happily smiled and said, “Anything is fine.”

There was another knock on the door and the bodyguard urged me again. She couldn’t stay any longer and after greeting me, she quickly left the room.

After she left, I closed the door behind her. Li Luo walked out of the room and said: “It seems that this woman doesn’t have any tricks up her sleeve.”

I went back to the table and continued to eat my breakfast.

Li Luo picked up the biscuit on the table and tasted it. He laughed, and I heard him laugh. “What are you laughing at?”

He held a bite of biscuit to my lips and said, “It may not be what you like.”

The rich chocolate taste was indeed not what I liked. I immediately shook my head and didn’t taste it.

The reason I didn’t leave this hotel for the past few days was just to wait for Fu Yating to contact me. But after waiting for two or three days, my phone still didn’t make any movements, so I asked Li Luo many times if I had written down the wrong number. Perhaps the phone is broken, but the fact is, the phone isn’t broken at all. As for the number, I still remember it clearly. When I wrote it down, I even subconsciously read it once.

After almost a week, Yumann Ting came back from overseas and asked me when I would be home. She said that it was her mother’s illness that had returned, and told me to go back quickly.

In these past few years, Xiao Ruoyun’s eyesight had always been frequent, sometimes visible, sometimes invisible, and she had gone to the hospital many times. There were a lot of doctors, and they said the nerves around her eyes had started to shrink. They were only getting worse, not better.

I thought that I really couldn’t wait like this until Fu Ziya came to find me. What if she didn’t call me for a year? After all, they have too many rich and powerful friends. How could they possibly treat me like an old acquaintance just after meeting me once?

Yu Family still has a bunch of things to do, so in order to not waste my time, I decided to leave Y city first. I’ll think of another way later and see what I can do.

Thus, after staying with Li Luo for around a week, I began to pack up and directly headed to the airport in the afternoon to take the first train home.

But who knew that just as I was about to board the plane, I received a message from Fu Ziya. The message was that she had arranged for me to go shopping with her tomorrow and asked if I had time.

I didn’t expect this to happen again. I stared at the message for two or three seconds and finally replied with a word, asking her what time the next day would be.

She was glad to hear from me, because three minutes after the text message went out, she immediately answered my phone call.

She immediately expressed happily on the phone: “Little Wei, are you still in City Y? Do you really have time to come with me? I’m in trouble. I’m not familiar with anything here. ”

Seeing that she kept asking me a few questions, I could only smile and say, “Yes, I also want to go to the mall tomorrow to buy some clothes.”

Unable to contain her joy, she said, “Okay, I’ll come to your room tomorrow. We’ll go together.”

I smiled and said, “Okay.”

After we hung up the phone, Li Luo was leading me onto the plane with a suitcase in his hand. I immediately pulled him back, indicating that he was not leaving.

He looked at me with a puzzled expression. I passed the call record over to him and said: “Fu Ziya called and asked me to go shopping tomorrow.”

Thus, I immediately gave Yumann Ting a call to explain to her that I was still working outside and could not return for the time being. I told her to accompany Xiao Ruoyun to the hospital to take a look.

Seeing me say that, although Yumann Ting was not very happy, but she knew that I was busy and could not say anything, so she could only remind me that the job was going smoothly.

After the two of us hung up, Li Luo and I left the airport and returned to the hotel.

On the second day, as expected, Fu Ziya came to find me early in the morning. When she saw that a man had come out of my room, she immediately looked at me in surprise.

She understood immediately and smiled towards Li Luo, then pulled my hand to walk downstairs. I didn’t expect her to be so anxious. She pulled on her bag so that she didn’t even have time to take it, and she said, It’s okay, if I want anything, she can pay me.

I knew that people like them don’t care about small amounts of money, so I didn’t push her away and followed her downstairs. When the elevator went directly to the hotel downstairs, she pulled me into a black car with two bodyguards still standing outside. After we entered, the two bodyguards followed me into the car.

After the car started, two other cars followed. He opened the door of the hotel.

The two bodyguards sitting next to us were standing there like doormen, expressionless.

Fu Ziya saw that my expression was a little stiff and knew that I was not used to it. She pulled my hand and said: “You don’t have to care about them.

I said, “You go out like there’s someone following you all the time?”

She didn’t mind and said, “Yes, it’s good as long as you get used to it.”

“Odd,” I said.

“I didn’t like it either,” she said. “But there have been a lot of kidnappings recently, so I’m afraid my husband is worried, so wherever I go he’ll let me bring bodyguards.”

When I heard that, I smiled and said, “Yeah, there are a lot of kidnapping cases in the country.”

As if she didn’t want to talk about it with me, she excitedly took something out of her bag, a necklace, and handed it to me. “This is for you,” she said.

I was a little flattered. She didn’t ask if I wanted it or not; she liked it. She immediately took the necklace out of the box and said to my neck, “My husband gave me this necklace, but I still feel that it’s not suitable for me. Instead, I feel that it’s more suitable for you.”

The necklace’s pendant was the shape of a water droplet that I liked. The design was very simple, but it revealed an exquisite look. It was indeed my favorite.

If I push her away now, it will seem strange, so I let her put it around my neck.

After that, we drove directly to the shopping mall. After stopping at the entrance, the two of us walked in together and started to stroll around the streets. She should have just returned home. He was very curious and excited about everything in the country.

From time to time I would touch this place, from time to time I would touch that place, and when I saw a unique little train in the mall, I would be as happy as a child, chattering non-stop with me all the way.

It was obvious that this was a person who was well protected by his family, a person who did not know of the dangers of the mortal world.

I had to keep up with her as best I could, and when we were tired of wandering around, we sat down at a café and ordered coffee for each of us and began to chat.

She began to ask if I was from the city.

I said no.

She curiously asked me, “Then are you here for some matters?”

I did not answer immediately, but remained silent for a moment. He was in a rather low mood as he said, “I came here to ask for someone to help, but I haven’t even seen him yet.”

As soon as she heard I was going to help, she asked, “Who do you need help with? See if my husband can help you. “
