shallow marriage deep love

"Come, play chess with me." The old general Bai pointed at the chess set aside in a good mood, not feeling that there was anything wrong with what he said, "If you win, I will let you interview, if you lose... ..."

He didn't finish his sentence, but Lu Qinglan really understood that if he lost, he didn't even need to think about the interview.

She quickly glanced at the old general Bai who was still smiling freely, and bravely wailed deliberately with a bitter face: "Old general Bai, do you really want to play chess?"

She knows those chess pieces, but those chess pieces don't know her!

When she was in Lu's house when she was a child, old man Lu would often hug her and teach her how to play, but at that time, Lu Qinglan always thought chess was very boring, so she threw it aside after learning it for a few days.

Later, when she got older, Su Zhijiang also wanted to teach her, but she ran away as soon as she saw chess, so until now, she can only be regarded as a half-baked player.

"Don't you dare?" Facing her pitiful gaze, Old General Bai suddenly felt in a surprisingly good mood. He would never believe that this girl didn't have the courage, but her appearance was quite to his liking. To himself is a trembling appearance.

"Who says I dare not?" At this point, she has to do whatever she wants, and she is not a person who gives up before starting.Give it a try, maybe there will be a miracle?

Lu Qinglan took a deep breath, kept encouraging herself in her heart, and walked towards the desk unhurriedly after completing the psychological training, and finally stood still, her voice was steady, without a trace of tension: "Old General Bai, let's begin."

The old general Bai narrowed his eyes, suppressed the sharpness in his eyes, and nodded with satisfaction: "Okay."

After sitting down, Lu Qinglan first recalled in her mind the basic knowledge that Mr. Lu taught her back then, and then started to play chess.Not only that, but she was always paying attention to the old general Bai in front of her.

Mr. Lu once told her that there is a kind of expert who will not force you into a dead corner and raise your hands to surrender at the beginning of the game, but likes to lure you into a trap little by little, and even makes you feel that you are very likely to win. But when the time comes, you realize that it's just an illusion, because no matter how hard you struggle, it's useless, and you don't even know where you started to lose!
Half of the time passed, Lu Qinglan suddenly discovered that Old General Bai belonged to this type of expert!

Although her current situation looks okay, anyone who really understands chess can understand that she has entered a dead end, and it is still a dead end that looks beautiful!

However, even if she sees the situation clearly, she will not give up easily!

The corner of her mouth pursed, and after thinking about it, Lu Qinglan changed the direction of her raised hand, and the chess piece fell to another position.

"Little girl, are you sure you want to go this way?" Old General Bai glanced at her leisurely, with a smile in his eyes, as if mocking her pointless struggle, "I can let you take a step."

"No regrets!" Lu Qinglan shook her head, met his gaze and said firmly, "Old General Bai, it's your turn."

Her eyes flickered, and the unyielding and stubbornness in them, like the stars in the dark night, fascinated people.Old General Bai was startled for a moment, then the smile on the corner of his mouth deepened, and he made a decision in his heart.

Even if Lu Qinglan changed his thinking, facing an expert like Old General Bai, the only thing that changed was that he failed more slowly.

"Little girl, you lost!" Old General Bai reminded her blankly while cleaning up the mess, "Are you willing to bet and admit defeat?"

"I would like to admit defeat!" Gritting her teeth forcefully, and taking a deep breath, Lu Qinglan stood up with a suitable smile on her lips, "Old General Bai, then I will take my leave first."

"Okay." Old General Bai didn't say anything else. After watching her leave, he went to the phone and dialed a number.

Lu Qinglan who walked out of the study was very depressed. Although it was true that she was willing to gamble and admit defeat, and she knew what would happen if she lost from the beginning, she was still quite sad when she really lost.

It's not that she can't afford to lose, it's just that this seems to be her second chance, and she didn't even grasp it.

Falling into self-blame, Lu Qinglan didn't realize that someone was looking at her a few steps away, until a familiar voice sounded.

"you are leaving?"

Lu Qinglan saw that it was Shen Sui again.

Subconsciously, she wanted to keep a distance from him: "Well, I'll go back to the hotel." After finishing speaking, she speeded up and went downstairs without waiting for his answer.

I don't know why, when Shen Sui saw her actions, an unknown fire suddenly rose in his heart. He just wanted to ask how the burnt place was. As for avoiding himself like a scourge?

As soon as this idea came up, he wanted to grab her and ask her to clarify.

But before he raised his hand, Bai Shu's voice came from downstairs.

Lu Qinglan didn't notice Shen Sui's movements, she was now attracted by the downstairs, because she saw that the person standing beside Bai Shu was none other than her assistant when she was still in Kui Yu , Xia Xinting.

"Sister Lan!" Xia Xinting didn't expect to meet Lu Qinglan here, and rushed up immediately, her smiling eyes almost lost sight, "Sister Lan, you are here too, what a coincidence! I haven't seen you for a long time is you!"

Xia Xinting wanted to say something more, when she caught a glimpse of Shen Sui who was not far away from the corner of her eye, she immediately put away her smile, and called out a little cautiously: "Young Master Shen."

"Fourth Sister-in-law," Bai Shu walked over, seeming to explain, "Xiao Xia is also here to interview my grandfather." After she finished speaking, she turned her head and smiled softly at Xia Xinting, "Go up, turn left and take the second It's the study."

"Thank you, Sister Baishu..." Now that Xia Xinting also knew why Lu Qinglan was here, she couldn't help feeling a little uneasy.

"Go, we'll talk when we have time." Lu Qinglan saw that she was uncomfortable, and patted her on the shoulder, signaling that she didn't have to, "I still have something to do, so I'm leaving first."

It is undeniable that when she found out that Xiao Xia was also here to interview Old General Bai, the disappointment in her heart spread. In this circle for so long, it was the first time she was brooding over her failed interview.

Oh no, this interview isn't even a failure.After all, she hadn't even started the interview.

Lu Qinglan couldn't help laughing at herself and curled her lips. She didn't want to go back to the hotel too early, so she walked along the road. Fortunately, it was almost evening and the weather wasn't too hot.

After walking for a while, the phone in the bag suddenly vibrated cheerfully.

Lu Qinglan's eyes lit up, could it be Ye Tingshen who called back?
However, when her gaze touched the incoming call on the screen, it dimmed again.

After adjusting her mood, she pressed the connect button: "Editor Ling."

"Director Lu," Ling Wei sensitively sensed something wrong with her, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help raising his lips, "Is the interview with Old General Bai going well? I got the news that Kui Yu also sent someone over to ask for this interview, but I I believe Director Lu, you will not let me down, you will definitely be able to take it first, right?"

Listening to her words, Lu Qinglan felt a slight headache. She was considering whether to tell her about the situation here, but before she could think it over, Ling Wei couldn't wait to continue talking.

"By the way, you also know the importance of this interview to our agency, plus the competition from Kuiyu, so I hope the time can be shortened to four days. I wonder if you have any questions?" Although Ling Wei was suspicious The tone of voice was not open to negotiation, "Let's settle it like this. I believe Director Lu will not let everyone down. Let's do it first, I have an interview to go out later."

Lu Qinglan didn't have a chance to speak at all, and could only watch helplessly as the screen dimmed.However, she was not discouraged. Today is only the second day. Even if the time is shortened, she still has two days. She will not give up lightly. If this method doesn't work, she will change it!
Thinking of this, she revived again with full blood, silently cheering herself up, Lu Qinglan, you can do it!
However, she would never have guessed that Ling Wei didn't want her to complete this interview at all.

"How is things going?" The whole person leaned back on the chair relaxedly, looking out of the window, Ling Wei was very comfortable, "I have shortened her time, what you have to do is to prevent her from having another chance. "

"Don't worry, things are going well." Bai Shu was hidden in the shadows, not as weak as usual, and exuded a cold aura from his whole body, "But, I really want to know, in order to deal with Lu Qinglan, you even have such an important interview? If you can give it up, won't you regret it?"

"Regret?" Ling Wei seemed to have heard a very funny joke, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, "No! But you, making small moves in your own home, are you not afraid that your grandpa or Shen Sui will find out? You put Shen Sui It's all taken into account. Also, if Ye Tingshen finds out, guess... what will he do to you?"

"You don't need to worry about this!" Bai Shu's face sank, a little impatient, "Let's leave it at that, and we'll contact you when there's a situation!"

Ling Wei was not annoyed either, still smiling, her voice was like a trickling stream: "Okay."

On the other side, Lu Qinglan didn't know how long she walked along the road. Along the way, she made two phone calls to Ye Tingshen, but the phone was always turned off.As a result, she didn't even have much appetite for food, so she went back to the hotel early to rest.

Because of something on her mind, Lu Qinglan didn't sleep well that night, and woke up very early the next day.

It's just that I didn't expect to receive a call from Mrs. Bai as soon as I woke up.

"Little girl, are you still here today? Grandma still wants to hear you play "Wang Ning Mei", can I?"

To be honest, Lu Qinglan was very surprised, but she quickly smiled: "Okay, I'll pack up and come over!" No matter whether this interview has a chance at the end, it will not affect her and Mrs. Bai.

Lu Qinglan quickly packed herself up, and took a taxi to the gate of the military compound. She thought that she would be interrogated for a long time like yesterday, but she didn't expect to let her go just by giving her name, which saved a lot of trouble.

General Bai's house is at the southernmost point, and it takes about 10 minutes to walk there.

Lu Qinglan was about to go forward to ring the doorbell, when suddenly there was a rush of brakes behind her!

Immediately afterwards, a straight long leg stepped out...
