Reborn Aristocrat: Oppressing - Chapter 280
Chapter 280: Mo Yuanxiu Is Important in Interlocked Stratagems (5)
Everyone knew the pros and cons of such a transaction.
“I know that this sounds like a joke, but the Planning Bureau’s director, Liu Quanzhong, is currently in the midst of being promoted to the deputy chief of the Planning Bureau. He wouldn’t dare to take such a huge risk and lose such a huge industrial park. Moreover, even if it’s a huge penalty, I’m willing to pay it to Mo Mandate.”
“It doesn’t sound like there’s any harm to Mo Mandate,” he said.
With that, he smiled. “Have you thought about what period I’m in now?”
Lu Manman pursed her lips.
“I just took the civil servant exam. During the interview, if the examiners realize that our family has been working against the government, what do you think are my chances of success?” he asked her slowly.
She looked at him.
Mo Yuanxiu looked at her as well.
It was so quiet in the living room that she could only hear the sound of the clock in the corner.
There was an awkward silence.
Lu Manman suddenly stood up. “Pretend I didn’t say anything.”
He watched her leave but was in no rush to leave.
He casually took out a cigarette, lit it, and smoked.
Smoke filled the air.
Mo Yuanxiu was sitting on the couch, just smoking.
The night turned deeper.
He put out his cigarette, then went upstairs to his room.
Actually, most of what Lu Manman said would not surface. For example, as long as he got his father to look for Liu Quanzhong from the Planning Bureau, Liu Quanzhong would not take the risk and would definitely agree to it. No one would know about it, and it would not affect his promotion to a civil servant.
Everyone knew what was going to happen, but Lu Manman had not said anything further.
He smiled coldly and entered the bathroom.
He had dinner with Yin Lanyi today, who had probably heard from Ye Heng that he was taking the civil service exam and had rushed back from Beijing. They had dinner together and had gone to Ye Heng’s place to have a drink. They did not have a lot of alcohol, but Yin Lanyi had a lot. In the end, she had asked him to stay when he sent her home.
He was not a clean man. Most of the time, he felt that there was nothing he had to keep for anyone. He just did not like to force himself to do things that he did not like or did not need to do. Hence, he had rejected her.
When he returned, he saw Lu Manman in the living room.
He realized that this woman really had something to ask him.
Lu Manman had changed a lot from the Lu Manman in his memory. The woman in his memory was still timid, and she was used to hiding behind others. He knew that she was smart and that she could protect herself.
Lu Manman now was a little independent.
She was so independent that she did not want to depend on anyone. Or perhaps, she was afraid of relying on anyone.
She had made herself stronger and more independent!
Mo Yuanxiu took a brisk shower. He came out of the bathroom and wiped his hair as he sat on the bed.
All of a sudden, he remembered how Ye Heng had whispered into his ear that he had to take the medicine and cure his illness.
He got up, opened the bedside table, and looked at the densely packed boxes of medicine. He took out a box of imported medicine. Was Ye Heng afraid that he could not read English? He had even explained it to him in Mandarin.
Someone suddenly pushed open the door.
He turned around and saw her appear at the door.
