Reborn Aristocrat: Oppressing - Chapter 279

Chapter 279: Mo Yuanxiu Is Important in Interlocked Stratagems (4)

She got up and was ready to go upstairs.

Footsteps sounded outside.

Lu Manman turned around and saw Mo Yuanxiu. His suit had long been taken off, and he was only wearing a white shirt. Three or four buttons had already been undone, and he was still wearing it lazily. He looked a little wild and arrogant.

“Miss Lu, you’re not asleep yet?” he asked calmly.

“Aren’t you back so late as well?” Lu Manman asked calmly.

He shrugged and smiled but did not say anything.

Under their roof, they were like two strangers. Or rather, they were just like ordinary guests. They greeted each other when they met. There was no awkwardness and no deep friendship.

Mo Yuanxiu headed to the second floor calmly.

Lu Manman looked at his back view, gritted her teeth, and strode upstairs to block his way.

They stood on the stairs.

“What’s wrong?” He looked at her.

At such a close distance, she could smell a womanly perfume wafting from him.

“I have something to discuss with you.” Lu Manman turned serious.

Mo Yuanxiu looked at her, and his eyes flickered slightly. He smiled beautifully. “Why do we have to talk late at night?”

“It’s just some work matters, but I’m afraid I won’t be able to find you tomorrow,” Lu Manman said directly.

He rubbed his shoulders, looking tired. “Where should we talk?”

“The living room.”

He turned around and headed downstairs.

Lu Manman followed suit.

The two of them sat in a leisure afternoon tea room in the living room. In the corner, there was an antique European chandelier that gave off a dim but gentle glow. The two of them sat opposite each other on the couch as Mo Yuanxiu looked at Lu Manman.

Lu Manman did not say much. It was already very late, and most people were already asleep. She directly said, “I heard that the industry in Wen City’s newly planned industrial park belongs to Mo Mandate.”

“Probably,” he answered.

“Lu Firm is facing some trouble now. We’re preparing to construct a base station in the industrial park called the Sunshine Electronic Factory, but we’ve been obstructed. Based on our understanding, the owner of this factory isn’t willing to let us do it because someone from the government’s Planning Bureau is behind it. On the other hand, Klan Corporation, a competing telecommunications company, has already completed all of their base stations, causing Lu Firm to lose many potential customers,” Lu Manman said slowly.

“If I remember correctly, there should be a three-way agreement in the telecommunications industry that prohibits exclusive entrance to the base station. It shouldn’t be a problem for you to use this to sue Klan Corporation.” Mo Yuanxiu raised an eyebrow.

“But my time is limited. I can’t guarantee that after I win this lawsuit, I will have the time to increase my market share. Moreover, it’s not just Klan Corporation. In many other areas, our Lu Firm has its own unique entrance. By doing this, I’m shooting myself in the foot.” That three-party agreement was actually just a document drafted by the government. The actual implementation was not as good as they thought. At least, it was not foolproof. This was also an industry-funded contract, and communication companies would not be idiots to break it!

“So?” He raised an eyebrow.

“I hope that your Mo Mandate can come forward and threaten the Planning Bureau.”

“What you mean is that you want our Mo Mandate to come forward and say that if they don’t allow Lu Firm to enter the construction site, then we would rather bear a huge amount of compensation and take back all land rights?!” Mo Yuanxiu said with a nice smile.
