Bulwark of Light

Chapter 176 Necklace
"Mr. Zhao Qi, what can you do?"

Lu Nanzhi calmly watched the man in front of her. She neither invited him in nor drove him away.

So the two kept such a stiff and awkward distance... Zhao Qi stood at the door, and Lu Nanzhi sat on the indoor sofa.

"Father sent me here."

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

Lu Nanzhi lowered her eyebrows, holding a teacup, the tea in the cup was already cold, reflecting her downcast cheeks... The previous conversation had just mentioned Mrs. Zhao, her emotions towards Mrs. Zhao were very complicated, and her emotions towards Mr. Zhao Qi It's also complicated.

If it is said that this is an ignorant, terrible dude... But after the marriage, he has never touched a finger of his own. He knows the meaning of this marriage better than himself.

Outside, many people described Zhao Qi as garbage who did all kinds of evil.

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

He can't support the wall, and he knows that he can't support the wall... So he only squandered within the scope allowed by Zu Yin, drinking, having fun, and making friends. According to his "consumption" method, Zhao's huge financial resources can be easily Hold him loosely for the rest of his life.

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

But if he, as a "successor" over the years, applies to take over part of the project, and replaces the decisions of Huaqi's high-level executives with his own opinions... that will be a real disaster.

With a few wrong decisions, the Zhao family will collapse within a few years, and the collapse of the building is often only in one day, one night, a moment, and one person.

"Dancing outside..."

Zhao Qi saw that his wife had no intention of rejecting him, so he entered slowly, his movements were very light, he closed the door, 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 hummed lightly.

ten years.

In fact, she was a little bit relieved that Zhao Qi was able to say ten years, which meant that he still remembered what happened back then, not like those people outside... who could only say "many years", "a long time", such a Ambiguous emotional words.

There is only one sentence of greetings like this.

Because even if he is as stupid as Zhao Qi, he still knows... There is really nothing to say in the matter of pleasantries. He and Lu Nanzhi only have a nominal husband and wife relationship, and the relationship between each other is as indifferent as water, and there is no such thing as bullshit." A day for a couple, a hundred days of grace", being able to enter this reception room is already considered a great blessing.

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

"……I know."

Lu Nanzhi took a sip of her cold tea, calmed down, looked at the man in front of her, and said slowly: "But I never thought that Mr. Councilman would let you come to contact me first..."

What kind of trick is this?
Today's free dance is actually a silent battlefield without gunpowder.

Chen San of the Nanwan faction immediately had a secret discussion with himself, hoping to confirm the final opinion on the Awakening Act... and to further establish the alliance and cooperation between the two parties.

But until now, neither Cui Zhongzhong nor Zhao Xilai had moved.

They came to the Freedom Auditorium, but they didn't participate in the conversation in the living room, and they didn't come to find themselves... It seemed that they were waiting for the symphony concert in the auditorium hall to start.

So these two want to make their finale appearance.

But Zhao Xilai unexpectedly dispatched 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 to me...you are really too far away, too sacred, and too ethereal."

After some compliments, Lu Nanzhi didn't respond.

Zhao Qi didn't continue talking nonsense, but directly cut to the point.

"Father hopes that you can change your attitude towards the Awakening Bill...Huaqi will fully support all your political opinions, except the bill." Zhao Qi took out a contract from his pocket, "This is my father's undisclosed will."

He put the contract on the table and slowly pushed it over. While staring into his wife's eyes, he slowly opened his mouth and said, "Mr. Zhao will give away 51% of the shares in Huazhi Building, and you will own absolute control of Huazhi. Quan... This is far better than Mr. Lu Cheng's wealth back then, and it 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 .”

The shares of Huaqi are for wealth.

Members of Parliament are for power.

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

"Father's time is running out. If everything goes well, 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 Huaqi... like ten It was the same as before.” Zhao Qi said in a very soft voice, “If you want, 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. superfluous reputation."

In addition to wealth, power...and fame over the years.

All sent to their own front.

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

"I don't know."

Lu Nanzhi rubbed the center of her brows, and she murmured softly, "I don't understand why things turned out like this... This kind of decision-making doesn't look like Mr. Councilor."

Zhao, lost everything.

All made wedding dresses for themselves.

"Tell me these words, you really chose the wrong person." Zhao Qi shrugged helplessly, "I know my position very well, I am just a fool, I can't think of such profound questions...so, I can't give you any answers."

"The above are all the words my father asked me to pass on. If you have any confusion, I think you need to talk about it later."

Speaking of this, Zhao Qi's sitting posture suddenly changed, he began to sit very seriously, and said very seriously, "Actually, I also have something I want to say...even if I am a useless piece of trash."

"Not long ago, I also read the speech about candidate members of parliament..."

"Father seemed shocked. This incident was beyond everyone's expectations. I heard that Huazhi was holding a celebration banquet at that time." Zhao Qi laughed in a low voice, "The champagne of these guys has been opened, and they are preparing to celebrate the Act War in advance You won a big victory, and then the camera turned, you said you objected, and everyone was shocked... This is really an interesting scene, but it’s a pity I wasn’t there to witness it with my own eyes.”

"I don't know why, I have a hunch that you will object."

Zhao Qi said lightly: "I have no evidence, nor have I thought about it...it's just my 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 and said: "So I asked myself a long time ago... If one day Lu Nanzhi came to the opposite side of the Zhao family, how should I deal with myself? Most of the media said it well, I am a useless waste, I live a prosperous life all because I have a good father, if one day my father is gone, I will be nothing."

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

Lu Nanzhi silently looked at Zhao Qi.

She is a little suspicious now... Is this really the mud that has been abused and despised by thousands of people?

A person who has such a clear understanding of himself...is it still 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 from happening, then why should I struggle, just continue to be bad." Zhao Qirou said: "Actually, I only want a sum of money... This sum of money is enough for me to eat, drink and play, but to you and Mrs. Zhao, this sum of money is just a drop in the bucket, right?"

Reality hit me hard.

How can you not be knocked down?
Some people choose to resist the pressure, straighten their spines, and stand up hard——

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

"If you insist on objecting, then this struggle will gradually turn into a tug-of-war. Father will definitely revise the will, and I will still be the ultimate successor." Zhao Qi said softly, "I came here today just to say An inauspicious, but possibly probable—”

"Have you thought about what would happen if his old man left during the struggle?"

Lu Nanzhi was silent.

If the will is amended and Zhao Qi becomes the biggest controller of Huaqi, then this foundation that countless people have devoted their efforts to, this building that his father regards as a dream, will collapse in a short time.

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

"It could be...lose-lose."

"This—is the meaning of my coming, to avoid a lose-lose situation."

"I don't care about one billion, ten billion, because it's too much... I can't spend it in this life. What use is the flag to me? Since everyone wants me to be a waste, then I will continue to be a waste. "Zhao Qi smiled without courtesy and shame: "I came to you because I hope that I can still retain the capital of being a waste... I used to gnaw on the old, but now it is nothing more than a different person and has become a soft food. I don't care. "

"If I give in and cooperate... surely your progress will be smooth, right?"

"..."

Lu Nanzhi looked at Zhao Qi. Today's conversation made her have a new understanding of the man in front of her. He is by no means as useless as the public sees him. At least he has self-knowledge, and is despicable enough...to be able to Unscrupulously using his father's hard work as a bargaining chip in exchange for actual benefits.

to myself.

This is a good thing.

Zhao Qi's concession and cooperation will make this struggle much easier, and all he has to pay is "a little money".

But Lu Nanzhi didn't give a clear attitude, she just calmly gave such a reply: "If you just want to say these words...then you can leave."

The eviction order was heard.

Zhao Qi took a deep breath and said, "I'm here today, and I have one more thing..."

He reached into his arms and said sincerely: "I have prepared a gift for you, it is a necklace. If you don't mind, please wear it at the next concert. Father will know that we have talked and talked Not bad."

Just when Zhao Qi was about to take out the necklace box——

The light in the reception room suddenly went out.

Not just a reception room.

The entire Liberty Auditorium, the reception hall, the main hall, and several side halls, together with the corridors, all lights were turned off in an instant, and everything was plunged into darkness.
