My boss betrayed me
Chapter 168 Nangong Yue's face is full of sadness
Nangong Yue's face was filled with sorrow, and her voice trembled slightly: "You are important to me not because of what you have done for me in this matter, but because of who you were before and will be in the future. Life has educated you, but I am afraid that you will not have the opportunity to live a good life in the future.
Our future is uncertain, and I am really scared. My heart is in turmoil, just like riding a roller coaster, it is so exciting! It feels like playing a super exciting "heart-pounding adventure." The air around me seems to be frozen, making people feel depressed.
A little girl selling flowers walked by and looked at them with curiosity in her eyes.
"Let's leave it to fate." Xia Muchu's tone was calm but resolute. "I will try to make the circle rounder than Ah Q's. But who knows what the future will be like? Maybe everything is in vain.
We can't be too pessimistic. Maybe we can turn the tide and live in the sun in the next second! We can start the "road to counterattack" and dazzle everyone. "As the night falls, the lights in the city light up one by one, as if lighting a glimmer of hope for their future.
The neon lights in the distance flickered with colorful lights, casting a mysterious veil over the entire city.
The night was as dark as ink, covering the earth heavily. Xia Muchu was sitting in a taxi, passing Chang'an Avenue. On the wide street, beautiful cars were flowing like a colorful river.
The stars in the night sky and the bright lights on the street reflected each other, and the air was filled with the breath of spring, but Xia Muchu could not feel this beautiful atmosphere at all. The whole night was beautiful like a dream, but to him, it was more like a nightmare that he could not wake up from.
At this time, the tall buildings on both sides of the street were brightly lit, but they could not illuminate the darkness in his heart. The radio in the taxi was playing pop music, but it could not relieve the tension in his heart.
Half an hour ago, Fang Baiyun called from Rome and asked Xia Muchu to go to Room 9016 of Yuanmingyuan Hotel to pick up something from Mr. Renault. This meant that the British negotiators had already arrived in Shengjing.
Xia Muchu had made a lot of preparations for this meeting with the British, and had thought about all kinds of situations about the British, such as their strength, purpose and means. But this did not mean that he had a clear idea in his mind, reality was reality.
Now he was like a lamb falling into the abyss, and the British seemed to be coming to save him. However, this was definitely a battle between masters. Xia Muchu had been thinking: "How can we reasonably benefit both parties and find the most appropriate position between cooperation and rupture?
Everyone knows that there is no such thing as a free lunch. We must not take it lightly and must be careful, otherwise we will be tricked. This is simply a "brain-burning battle", and if we are not careful, we will lose everything. "
Every decision could be a matter of life and death, and he was filled with tension and anxiety. At this moment, the atmosphere in the taxi was so oppressive that it was hard to breathe.
Xia Muchu has a firm principle in his heart, that is, he must become the kind of person that Nangong Yue expects. This may be the last thing he can give to Nangong Yue now.
The taxi stopped at the Yuanmingyuan Hotel, and Xia Muchu walked into the lobby, each step seemed to weigh a thousand pounds. He took the elevator to the ninth floor, his heart pounding as if it was about to jump out of his throat. He pressed the doorbell of room number 16, and the crisp sound was particularly harsh in the silent corridor.
At this time, the lights in the corridor were dim, giving people a mysterious and tense feeling. The decorative paintings on the wall looked a little weird under the light.
The door opened and a British man who was less than 30 years old appeared. He asked in standard Chinese, "Sir, who are you looking for?"
Xia Muchu thought that this person must be the translator brought by Renault. He replied, "I'm looking for Mr. Renault. My friend Fang Baiyun entrusted Mr. Renault to bring me two boxes in Rome. I received a call half an hour ago asking me to pick them up.
My name is Xia Muchu." After saying that, he handed over his ID card, his hands trembling slightly.
The translator carefully looked at the ID card and confirmed that it was correct, then invited Xia Muchu into the room. Then he introduced him to the other two people in the room, one was Renault and the other was the secretary.
Renault is in his fifties, tall, with a little gray hair. The deep wrinkles on his forehead make him look very powerful. There is depth, decisiveness and authority between his eyebrows. He wears a dark suit and has a very elegant manner. There is nothing wrong with him.
He asked Xia Muchu to sit down and looked at Xia Muchu for a while. His eyes seemed to see through everything and made people shudder. He said a few words in British English.
The translator said: "Mr. Renault said that he was very happy to meet Mr. Xia in Shengjing. He asked me to tell you that this place for conversation is very safe. We have booked the guest rooms on both sides, so there is no need to worry about interference.
Mr. Renault is a passionate person, and I hope Mr. Xia can speak freely. Our treatment is like a VIP among VIPs, just like walking into a "star show". It feels like starting a "mysterious journey".
The lights in the room were soft, but they could not relieve the tense atmosphere. Outside the huge French windows, the night view of the city was dazzling.
Xia Muchu raised his chin slightly, trying to appear calmer, and said, "I am just a small character, and I am used to being talked to in a condescending manner. Mr. Renault does not need to be so polite to me.
I know this conversation won't be easy. We can't be fooled by the superficial politeness. We must remain vigilant and be ready to "play big tricks" at any time."
The secretary was a man in his forties, sitting near the door, listening to the translation while keeping an eye on the movements at the door. His face was cold and expressionless, like an iceberg.
Renault smiled after hearing what the translator said, but that smile was hard to understand. Then, with the help of the translator, the conversation that both parties had prepared for officially began.
Renault stared at Xia Muchu and said, "We all know that the reason we can meet here is not because your plan went wrong, but because a woman made a mistake. However, this is a beautiful and righteous mistake.
But women are not to be blamed. So, we can only say that it is fate's arrangement. This plot is too bloody, it is simply a trick of fate, which makes people unable to guard against it! It's like watching a super exciting "God drama." At this time, the night outside the window is deep, as if suggesting that their fate is full of unknowns.
On a tall building in the distance, a huge billboard was flashing brightly.
Xia Muchu's eyes met Renault's without flinching, and he said, "I agree with you. Women should not be blamed. But it seems that we are not here to discuss this. Just tell me what you want to get in Hanzhou. Don't beat around the bush. I don't have that much time.
We can't waste time, we need to get straight to the point and not get into the nonsense. I'm going to turn on 'fast forward mode' and solve the problem quickly."
Renault raised the corner of his mouth slightly and asked back: "Why don't you think you want something from us? This seems more reasonable."
Xia Muchu answered firmly: "But this does not conform to my idea. I am not here to beg you. We can't be so spineless. We must have our own stance. I want to be my own 'king' and not bow to anyone."
Renault was silent for a while, then said: "We have studied your current situation, especially your abilities and way of thinking. We think you are not in a desperate situation yet, and you should be able to resolve the crisis, even if it means losing some benefits.
But it won't be as miserable as Mr. Ye and Ms. Xia think, and they won't ask us for help in that way. This is the difference between people, and the difference in ability lies here. I understand them, they want to find a way to make up for the guilt of betraying you.
This is a very complicated matter. It's like solving a very difficult 'puzzle'."
"I don't want them to hear what you said, especially Nangong Yue. I don't want them to have any psychological burden, we have to take care of their emotions." There was a hint of warning in Xia Muchu's voice.
Renault said, "Of course. I respect your feelings, and I don't want to hear you say thank you but don't need us. In fact, that question no longer exists. We won't come to Shengjing specifically for unimportant people and things, nor are we here to try our luck.
We need friends like you, and you need us too. But this cooperation is not that simple. We are joining forces to reach the pinnacle of life together. Directly turn on the 'invincible mode' and cheat all the way. "
Xia Muchu said: "There is an old saying in our country, 'The law is long and wide, and nothing can escape it.' It is only a matter of time before I get my comeuppance. Cooperating with someone like me may bring you trouble. You should think it through.
I am a professional at betraying my teammates! I don’t want to be a burden to you.”
Renault said: "I think the threat you face does not come from the police, but from other parties. We have noticed that your sense of autonomy and desire for control may make cooperation difficult, and we will take this into consideration to show our sincerity.
But don't go too far. We have to put all the problems on the table, and we can't hide them, otherwise it will be troublesome if problems arise in the future. It's like playing a game of 'Truth or Dare', and we have to be honest with each other."
