The four of them took the spacious and clean passenger elevator to the top floor of the shopping center.Gerna said that she had booked a private room, but in fact, the entire floor had been permanently reserved by Gerna for meeting clients.

"Are you satisfied with the environment here?" With a foxy smile on her face, Gerna led Roy into the top private room.This private room was full of extravagant atmosphere, and the leather seats and golden nanmu utensils made Roy also murmur.

"Great!" Roy looked around and exclaimed.

After looking at the expressions of the three people around her, Gerna smiled strangely, and invited them to their seats.

"Then let's talk about this batch of jade now," Gerna said in a special official tone while brewing the Pu'er that was transported by air from Yunnan, "I won't ask too much for the price."

Roy froze for a moment, then glanced at Gerna in surprise: "Why?"

Seeing Roy's stunned state, Gerna giggled like a pure girl, blinking her bright eyes like stars: "You are a kind person, can you still deceive me on purpose?" After all, Gerna carefully poured the brewed tea into four purple sand teacups.

Gerna's pure and harmless appearance made Roy feel a kind of masculinity, and he nodded suddenly, and said with a smile: "For the trust you have given me, I will also give you a price that satisfies you!"

Gerna pursed her cherry-like red lips slightly, with a shy smile, her eyes drooping.She brought the teacup in front of the three of them very politely and gently, and the tips of her long, waterfall-like hair shook slightly.

"How about 200 million?" Roy took a sip of tea, feeling refreshed.Luo Yan next to her widened her eyes when she heard such a large number.

There was a trace of dissatisfaction in Gerna's eyes suddenly, but no one noticed it, because she immediately maintained that rose-like smile.

"It's fine if you think it's right. After all, we in Xinjiang can't make much money a year. We are born to be miserable." Gerna emphasized the word "hardship", with a trace of sadness on her face, like a shepherdess who lost her two beloved ones. like a lamb.

Seeing Gerna like this, Roy instantly felt that the strong wanted more, and hurriedly said: "I know it's not easy for you, so, let me come to a more fair one, one thousand and five."

A smile appeared on Gerna's face in an instant, and she turned her shoulders slightly: "You are really a good person, I don't know much about it, but if you say it is fair, then you must be fair."

Roy felt very superior, and even smiled proudly with a hint of masculinity.But Roy would never know that the woman on the other side was more scheming than the Mariana Trench.

Of course, Gerna knew the price of this batch of Hetian jade very thoroughly, and had already calculated its price and ex-factory value.In order to make the other party give a higher price and feel that she has taken advantage of it at the same time, she adopted a fake tactic.The biggest secret to dealing with this kind of wealthy, straight male and cancerous business tycoon is to pretend to be a little woman and pretend to be pitiful, which will definitely make the other party pay a higher price without knowing it.As she said, the Xinjiang region is not easy, but Zeerna is really an exception.Her net worth is probably more than ten times what Roy can imagine.Gerna just throws out a common cover.

However, as Gerna expected, Roy finally bet 50.00% more than she expected.

"Father, I'm going to the bathroom." Luo Yan stood up slightly.She didn't understand or be very interested in business talks, and she almost dozed off.

Roy glanced at his daughter and nodded.

"Not on this floor, you take the elevator to the tenth floor." Gerna immediately added kindly.

"Thank you." Luo Yan's eyes completed the crescent moon again, and walked out of the private room with brisk steps.

After less than 10 minutes, Luo Yan still didn't come back, but Roy didn't take it seriously.It may be that the toilet is difficult to find, so there is nothing to worry about for such a big person.

When Gerna was flipping through the contract, her sensitive nose suddenly smelled smoke, she frowned, and looked around.No one smokes around.Roy sat upright on the chair and flipped through the documents, while secretary Wang Shan was concentrating on calculating something with the calculator.

"Did you ask about the smell of smoke?" Gerna asked immediately.Her heart was pounding, as if it was about to explode, full of ominous premonition.

Roy and Wang Shan froze for a moment when they heard this, sniffed the air, frowned and said in unison: "I smell it. What happened?"

Gerna immediately strode open the door of the private room without hesitation, and a strong smell of smoke hit her face, almost making the three of them cry.When their noses touched the unpleasant smell of smoke, the three immediately understood what had happened.Roy's face turned pale, and the hands holding the paper trembled slightly.The assistant Wang Shan next to her didn't realize what happened for a while.

"It's on fire, let's go!" Gerna yelled, waking Roy and Wang Shan up like a dream.Immediately afterwards, Gerna returned immediately, poured the warm tea in the cup onto her clothes, and covered her mouth with the corner of the soaked windbreaker.

Roy and Wang Shan followed suit, ignoring the scalding heat in the teapot.The three of them leaned over and rushed to the stairwell in a hurry. The billowing black smoke filled the air with a dangerous atmosphere.Behind, followed by a group of top-level staff, also showing fear.They didn't know which floors were on fire, they only knew that they were in danger.

"Wait a minute, Luo Yan hasn't come back yet!" Roy suddenly yelled in despair, without a trace of blood on his wrinkled face, he stopped abruptly, almost causing a stampede.

Gerna dragged Roy and ran forward, and gave Roy a blank look: "She can definitely go down by herself, she is still on the lower floors." Indeed, if you can escape safely on the upper floors, you will be able to escape safely on the middle floors. There is no danger.

"No, I'm going to the tenth floor!" Roy was dazzled, and groped like a crazy old man to the entrance of the tenth floor stairwell.

The crowd behind crowded forward, bustling.Gerna didn't care about Roy's affairs anymore. After all, she had no relatives or reason with her. If she wanted to die, she would go by herself. She quickened her pace.But she knew from the bottom of her heart that the possibility of a healthy middle-aged man like Roy being trapped in this fire and dying was very small.It would be even better if he could find Luo Yan, after all - I still like girls like Luo Yan quite a lot.For such a kind person, it would be fairer to live.

After passing through the seventh floor, the fire was a little bit smaller—about the eighth floor was the source of the fire.

The crowd continued to rush down, like a herd of antelopes being chased by cheetahs.At the top of the stairs on the sixth floor, the smoke still hurt people's eyes, and Gerna heard a loud noise.Immediately afterwards, there was a thin and familiar female voice, full of fear of being hurt: "Help!"

Gerna instinctively pulled her heart, and her calf felt weak.No woman is pure hearted, not to mention that voice sounds so young and helpless.The smoke became thicker and thicker, and the situation became more and more dangerous. She felt a little blurry in front of her eyes.But—with his own vigorous skills, he may be able to rescue that helpless voice on the premise of retreating completely.So, she hurriedly dodged the crowd, made a way out, and went sideways through the security door to the sixth floor.She even forgot how ruthless she was in the underworld.

The sixth floor where stationery and student supplies were sold was surrounded by sparse flames, sparks crackled and crackled, making Gerna feel as if she had returned to the battlefield on the Gobi.There are bright flames everywhere, bright and lively, cheerful and eye-catching, as if deliberately hiding the boundless crisis under the sea of ​​fire.Like all banquets in the underworld, bright and buried dark.

But now is not the time to remember, where is that girl?Her eagle-like eyes looked around every detail, and her long eyelashes trembled.

Finally, a figure appeared about ten meters away.The thin girl was crushed under the collapsed counter, with her hands firmly on the ground, her short disheveled hair covered her small face, making Gerna unable to see clearly what kind of girl she was.What does it matter if you can't see your face? It's important to save people.Gerna immediately ran over like a rabbit, her heart pounding.

"Don't move around." Gerna straddled the collapsed cabinet with her legs, her muscular arms jerked up suddenly, and she pushed the cabinet aside, the whole movement was not sloppy.

The girl felt the relief in her body, and immediately supported herself and wanted to get up.But it was obvious that her legs were hurt by the weight of the cabinet, and it might be difficult for her to stand up quickly.Gerna looked at the girl's back worriedly, sighed, and quickly stepped forward and squatted in front of the girl's half-up body: "Encircle me."

The girl immediately wrapped her arms around Gerna obediently, and at the same time said in a familiar tone full of gratitude: "Thank you very much..."

For a moment, it seemed like a rhododendron bloomed in Gerna's heart.Instead of being feared, it is wonderful to be appreciated and trusted.

So, why did I become a vicious woman?money?fear?Or... twisted love?

After all, Gerna is also a boss in the Xinjiang region, with extraordinary skill and strength, she carried the girl up easily without feeling burdensome at all.The girl was very light, leaning against Gerna's back softly, like a piece of cotton candy.Gerna hurried down the stairs while handing a wet handkerchief to the girl behind her.The voice is so familiar, as if I've heard it before...

There was a thick smoke screen in front of her eyes, which made Gerna feel dizzy.She has never been so full of desire to survive.After all, he still bears an innocent name on his shoulders.

There are three floors, two floors...

Finally, when she saw the blue open sky again, Gerna put aside the tea-stained windbreaker and took a deep breath of the rare fresh air.The air just now is simply a demon, choking people's throats, and may choke them to death at any time.There is no harm without contrast, and there is no preciousness without contrast.

The surrounding area of ​​the building has been cordoned off, and the crowd outside the blockade line is bustling, and it is not known whether they are escaped people or spectators.Four fire engines lined up neatly, beeping their sirens.Seeing such an open space, she even forgot that there was someone on her back.

"Thank you...you can let me down." The gentle little voice behind her was also full of joy of rebirth, but it was still pale and weak.

Gerna was a little hesitant: "Are your legs okay?" The cabinet that weighed her was heavy, and she might not be able to walk for a while.

"It... hurts." That small voice spoke the truth, which made Gerna's heart ache.

Gerna suddenly remembered the voice behind her, and immediately asked, "Luo Yan?"
