Reborn, back to a small county town to become a wealthy family

Chapter 589: There Can't Be Two Tigers in One Mountain, Unless One is Male and One is Female

Although her eyes were full of murderous intent, Gu Man actually held back.

Zhao Junna didn't know that her best friend had known Luo Yang for a long time, so she skipped over Zhang Weilun and a few other acquaintances and introduced Du Mingyu who had just returned to China and Luo Yang who she had just met.

"How about it, handsome or not? I didn't lie to you, did I?"

After entering the music bar, on the way to the private room on the second floor, Zhao Junna took Gu Man's arm and said in her ear with a giggle: "If I didn't already have a boyfriend, I would definitely not let you get away with it."

Unlike Liang Yuxin, who is a classmate-like best friend, the relationship between Gu Man and Zhao Junna originates from their parents.

In recent years, it was no secret among Gu Man's parents that they were worried about their daughter's marriage, and Zhao Junna knew it very well.

"Okay, you can introduce them to me later."

Gu Man smiled and replied, "He is quite handsome, but I don't know what his character is like. He may look good on the outside but be rotten on the inside."

Hearing this answer, Zhao Junna even paused.

Then she looked at her best friend with surprise: "Manman, are you sure you are not kidding?"

"Why, you can't bear it?"

Gu Man glanced at Zhao Junna from the side and said, "Were you just joking just now?"

"What do you mean by reluctant?"

Zhao Junna quickly defended herself, "I'm just curious, you, a thousand-year-old iron tree, actually want to bloom."

Gu Man smiled and didn't respond.

The group came to the box on the second floor. Because they were walking at the back, Luo Yang and Zhang Weilun sat near the door.

"Nana, you play with them first, I'll come over later for a few drinks."

Before leaving, Gu Man greeted everyone one by one.

His eyes swept across Luo Yang's face and paused for a second, with a meaningful smile on his face.

This signal is wrong.

If Gu Man had lost her temper at the door just now, Luo Yang would not have been worried.

Now it looks a bit creepy.
Luo Yang took out his cell phone and sent a message to Chu Jing, asking her to call him in twenty minutes.

Thirty-six strategies, walking is the best.

However, he underestimated how difficult Zhao Junna was.

This woman had originally intended to introduce Luo Yang to her best friend because of Gu Man's words. Also, for the sake of her own company's business, she also wanted to take advantage of tonight to get closer to Luo Yang and build a good relationship with him.

Given these two reasons, how could they let Luo Yang go so easily?

"To be honest, the advertising and marketing market is now very polarized. The companies at the top of the pyramid either have strong connections or a steady stream of creative ideas, while the smaller companies below can only take on small jobs. They fight over a small amount of outdoor advertising space."

Zhao Junna deliberately sat next to Luo Yang, and while chatting, she brought the topic to her own company.

"The 20/80 phenomenon exists in almost every industry, where the top % of companies account for % of the market and profits, and it is not just the advertising industry."

Luo Yang only paid half of his attention to the conversation, and the other half was always paying attention to the stairs leading to the second floor.

Zhao Junna noticed his absent-mindedness.

Not only that, she also noticed that Luo Yang's eyes occasionally looked towards the stairs.
Seems to be looking for someone.

"Luo Yang, my best friend just now is pretty good, right?"

Zhao Junna smiled knowingly.

Zhang Weilun portrayed Luo Yang as a young business genius, but in her eyes at this moment, he was just a young boy who admired beauty.

"Sister Na, I have a girlfriend."

In public, Luo Yang never hides the fact that he has a girlfriend.

"what?"

Zhao Junna was stunned.

Have a girlfriend?
Then when you look downstairs from time to time, aren't you paying attention to Gu Man's figure?
For a moment, she was confused.

Just at this moment, Luo Yang's cell phone rang.

"Why are you calling me so late?"

When Chu Jing received Luo Yang's text message, he immediately figured out his boss's intention.

This call is a signal to get out of a situation.

"Boss, I can't help bothering you so late at night."

Chu Jing on the other end of the phone apologized in panic at first, and then said anxiously: "A document has been sent from the United States, and you need to deal with it urgently."

It is a little after ten o'clock in the evening in China, and a little after ten o'clock in the morning in the United States, which is reasonable.

"I see. I'll call you back later."

Luo Yang hung up the phone with a frown, then looked at Zhao Junna and said, "Sister Na, something happened with the company's business in the United States, and I need to go and take care of it. I'm so sorry to ruin everyone's fun."

"Luo Yang, do you still have business in the United States?"

Zhang Weilun was sitting on the other side of Luo Yang. After hearing this, he laughed and joked, "Won't you have to work hard day and night?"

A look of disappointment appeared on Zhao Junna's face.

Taking advantage of everyone's laughter, Luo Yang picked up the small bottle of Budweiser beer on the table and said, "Everyone, I'm sorry. Something urgent happened at the company. I have to leave first. I'll treat you all at the next dinner party. I promise to treat you well."

Zhang Weilun was the first to respond, and everyone else responded very respectfully.

He who travels a hundred miles is halfway there.

Luo Yang walked out of the box smoothly, and also passed through the lobby downstairs smoothly. Once he got out the door, he just had to get into the car and slip away quietly.

"I didn't expect that Mr. Luo could be so wretched."

Less than two steps out of the Yunduo Music Restaurant and Bar, a familiar voice came from behind.

No wonder I didn't see Gu Man in the venue, it turned out that she was waiting for me here.
"Boss Gu, something urgent happened at the company, so I have to leave first."

Luo Yang turned around and said, "I was thinking of saying hello to you when I was inside, but I didn't see you."

"Really? What kind of company business requires the boss to handle it after 10 o'clock at night?"

Gu Man slowly walked in front of Luo Yang, breaking through the interpersonal distance and standing still: "Men's words are deceiving, Mr. Luo, is that so?"

It has been more than two years since we last met.

This woman is still as charming and seductive as ever.

"Boss Gu, what you said is not right."

Now that we are blocked, running away is definitely not an option.

Luo Yang took a small step back, then retorted: "What you said could easily lead to misunderstanding of the relationship between us. If someone who doesn't know heard it, they would think I did something to you."

"Oh, look at what Mr. Luo said."

Gu Man followed up a little: "If I remember correctly, someone pretended to be very nice in front of my mother, almost carving the words "my boyfriend" on his face. Later, he even called me at a cocktail party while hugging an unknown woman, in front of my mother."

It is said that women hold grudges, and it is absolutely true.

The two things Gu Man mentioned happened recently, one year ago, and the distant one two years ago.

"I know your aunt has been forcing you to go on a blind date, so I'm just doing you a small favor. It's not worth mentioning."

Luo Yang took another half step back and said with a stiff smile: "We are friends after all, it's only natural."

"hehe."

Gu Man gritted her teeth and pressed closer: "According to what you said, I should thank you?"

"No thanks needed."

Luo Yang continued to step back: "I have something else to do at the company. I'll leave first. Let's contact each other by phone."

"Luo Yang, you coward!"

Just as Luo Yang was about to turn around, Gu Man's voice suddenly became louder: "Do you know how hard Yu Xin, who was thinking about you all the time, has been going through in the past two years? And you, after she disappeared, didn't even ask where she was, let alone care about whether she was doing well." Luo Yang: "."

As long as he didn't continue to pursue those two disgusting things, he would not panic.

"Didn't Mr. Liang go abroad?"

"Have you called her?"

Gu Man pressed on: "Have you called me to ask?"

Forehead.
At that time, this news was also heard from Jincheng Real Estate, including the quarrel between Liang Yuxin and Liang Xingmin.

As for the phone call, Luo Yang has never made one.

"Boss Gu, whether it's you or Mr. Liang, you should all know that I have a girlfriend."

Luo Yang did not give in this time: "Do you think I should make this call?"

Gu Man was stumped by this question.

Before Liang Yuxin left, she went to the Yunduo Music Bar and got drunk. Gu Man was with her the whole time and knew everything.

Liang Xingmin knew about Luo Yang having a girlfriend very early on, and Liang Yuxin also noticed it very early on, but everyone kept it to themselves and didn't say anything.

Gu Man still remembers that Liang Yuxin cried bitterly after getting drunk and told a lot of things about her and Luo Yang.

At that time, Luo Yang continuously brought out one good thing after another, each of which could help Jincheng Real Estate to develop better or gain profit. It was for this reason that Liang Yuxin became hesitant in her determination to reveal the truth, and she did not speak until the end.

So in this matter, Luo Yang really can't be blamed.

"Then can't you care about her as a friend?"

Gu Man began to argue: "When Yuxin was in the company, she was really nice to you, right?"

"I have a girlfriend. What do you think will happen if I continue to have contact with Mr. Liang?"

Luo Yang sneered, "As the saying goes, there can't be two tigers in one mountain, unless one is male and the other is female. Mr. Liang is strong, do you think my girlfriend is weak?"

"Haha, man!"

Gu Man also said to Luo Yang in a sneering tone: "Don't think I don't know. My mother has told you about what happened at the last Federation of Industry and Commerce cocktail party. You have a girlfriend at school and you are dating another one outside. You actually have the nerve to talk nonsense in front of me."

"You are talking about Min Huijun, right?"

Luo Yang never lost where he shouldn't have: "Her father is a big shot in the business circle of Shanghai. You can find out what my relationship with her is if you ask around. Don't throw water on me all the time."

He mentioned the person's name and surname, so it doesn't sound like a lie.

"Okay, I'll ask."

Although Gu Man believed it about 70% in her heart, she refused to admit defeat.

"If there's nothing else, I'll leave first."

Holding Gu Man down, if he didn't leave now, when would he leave?

"Don't you really want to know where Yuxin is and what she's doing?"

The moment Luo Yang turned around, Gu Man's voice rang out again: "She had a quarrel with Lao Liang because of you, and a few days later she ran to Yangcheng in the south and founded a company there. The company is now in a life-and-death crisis!"

The steps that had just been raised paused.

"what can I do?"

Luo Yang did not turn around, and said to Gu Man with his back to her: "If we contact each other now, our relationship will only become more complicated. Besides, her father is Liang Xingmin, so it should not be difficult to save her company, right?"

"You really don't care about her at all?"

Gu Man caught up with him, circled around, and stood in front of Luo Yang again: "Do you know that as long as Yu Xin calls Lao Liang this time, marriage is her destiny? The reason why she has held on until now, don't you know it in your heart?"

"Then why didn't she call me herself?"

Luo Yang did not avoid Gu Man's eyes: "If I hadn't happened to come here tonight, I wouldn't have known about this. You and I should know what kind of character Xiao Liang has. Since she is unwilling to bow to Lao Liang and compromise, she will not ask for compromise from me."

Gu Man fell silent for a moment.

She and Liang Yuxin have been best friends for many years and understand Liang Yuxin's character better than Luo Yang.

The reason for not wanting to call Liang Xingmin for help was similar to the reason for not wanting to call Luo Yang for help.

"Are we just going to watch the company that Yuxin founded go bankrupt?"

Gu Man murmured, "Is there really no way out? If her hard work is destroyed like this, she will collapse. Luo Yang, do you know that the reason she went to the south to start a business is to have the confidence to resist Lao Liang's pressure one day in the future and stand in front of you without any worries!"

“No wonder her business failed.”

"What do you mean, you look down on Yuxin?"

Gu Man glared at Luo Yang and said, "Don't think you are so great that you look down on others. Yu Xin is a top student at Wharton Business School after all. If she had not had so little starting capital, she might not be able to start her own business now."

“Her failure was not due to the amount of starting capital.”

Luo Yang curled his lips and said, "She is too impatient."

Gu Man: “.”

"Eager to succeed, eager to prove myself, eager to stand in front of Lao Liang"

Luo Yang sighed and said, "Even if we get away with it this time, we will suffer losses later."

Gu Man herself is also an entrepreneur, so she could understand what was just said without having to chew on it carefully.

"Is there really no way out?"

Thinking of this, Gu Man's mood suddenly dropped, and her upright figure standing in front of Luo Yang bent slightly.

"What kind of business does she do in Yangcheng, and what difficulties does she face now?"

"Are you willing to help her?"

Gu Man's eyes lit up, and she grabbed Luo Yang's arm excitedly: "You are finally willing to help her!"

"Can you tell me?"

Luo Yang said with a straight face: "If you don't tell me, I'm leaving."

"I'll tell you. I'll tell you."

Gu Man said quickly: "Yuxin went to Guangzhou to start a business because she saw the manufacturing industry in the Pearl River Delta. She founded an e-commerce platform, which was doing well at the beginning, especially last year, when sales continued to grow, with annual sales reaching 3.8 million."

There is no need to say more about the rest, Luo Yang can guess it.

Especially since the beginning of this year, with the establishment of Tmall by Alibaba, both JD.com and Suning.com have begun to exert their strength. As the saying goes, when the first and second in business fight, the third in business often dies. The e-commerce platform founded by Liang Yuxin is a typical example of the "third in business".

"This year, I also plan to enter the e-commerce shopping field. Even if Mr. Liang's company survives this difficulty, it will die in the spring of next year."

Luo Yang said with a toothache: "Persuade her to change the track."

Gu Man: “.”

"What are you talking about?"

She didn't care about her usual elegance and said anxiously: "What do you mean by die in the spring of next year? I think you just don't want to save her!"

"Really, I don't want to lie to you."

Luo Yang shrugged helplessly: "Once I enter this field, a large number of similar small and medium-sized companies will be squeezed out of the market. I sincerely suggest that Mr. Liang change his entrepreneurial project. I can even provide some ideas."

This self-righteous expression made Gu Man's teeth itch, and she wanted to pounce on him and take a bite.

"You didn't invest in it, did you?"

Seeing that Gu Man didn't say anything, Luo Yang guessed, "At the beginning, Xiao Liang had a quarrel with Lao Liang and ran away. She probably didn't have much money. As her best friend, you must have supported her a little. Boss Gu, how many millions did you invest?"

"."

After a long while, Gu Man finally spoke: "Five million!"

"My condolences!"

"roll!"
