这盘游戏是顾峰专门安排的,陆群肯定知道他在做什么.
她一到,陆群就抛弃了顾风,转而去邀请她.
显然,这位少爷在玩等待游戏方面颇有天商.
他想利用这笔房产交易来挑起她和顾峰之间的紧张关系,希望借此获得更高的出价.
她决心要得到华谊项目,但不会来自他这样的人.而且,是顾峰做出了安排.
"对不起,我最近手受伤了.你们都去吧,我在休息室等一会儿,"沈明说,轻蔑地拒绝了陆群的提议.
她的行为举止,不仅让周围的人感到惊讶,也让陆群感到惊讶.
有人问道:"顾小姐,沈小姐今天不是来商量这笔交易的吗?
顾风的笑容微微凝固.
"也许她不想打断陆先生的享受,"她带着一丝俏皮说."这一轮结束后,我会好好介绍你们两个."
她的话巧妙地澄清了她与沈明的关系,显得亲切.
陆群敲了敲他的球杆.
"好了,我们走吧.轮到你了.
沈明在休息室里坐了一会儿,看着平板电脑上的东西.
在那段时间里,有人试图与她搭讪.
这种情况并不新鲜;总是有人出于各种原因试图接近她.
沈明摘下蓝牙耳机,礼貌地对那个人说:"对不起,我现在正在听讲座.
那个人看起来很困惑,觉得她的行为很奇怪.
沈明的冷漠再一次让小舞心烦意乱.
"沈小姐,如果再这样下去,我们就成交不了了.你能多注意一点吗?
沈明对他的不耐烦咯咯地笑了笑.
"你为什么不到顾风这边去呢?和她一起工作可能比和我在一起要好.我不是一个好胜的人.
小舞一脸尴尬,没有再多说一句话.
比赛结束,陆群轻松获胜.他注意到"小公主"输了,但并没有太难过.相反,他赞美了她.
"你的技能比上次提高了."
就在这时,一名工作人员进来报告说,荣先生来了.
顾风笑得灿烂,对陆群说道:"陆先生,输给你没什么大不了的.但以后,当你和荣先生对峙时,不要退缩.
陆群笑了笑.
"当然不是."
他本来是来陪着『小公主』玩的,万万没想到荣家竟然有人亲自现身.
他的助手在他耳边低语,向他通报了休息室的消息.
陆群眯起了眼睛."她在听讲座?"
这是什么样的游戏?
这似乎是一个经典的举动——他觉得自己被戏弄了.
"我们去看看吧."
"荣先生来了?"
"看看小公主的举止——看起来她要发泄一些挫败感了.我之前太苛刻了;没有给她任何回旋余地.
他微笑着把毛巾扔到一边,大步走向休息室.
休息室里,沈明刚刚结束了她的在线课程,收起平板电脑,玩着手机.
Xiao Wu rushed in, looking excited.
"Miss Shen, Mr. Lu is here."
Shen Ming couldn't stand his dramatic outbursts and dismissed him.
"Go to Times Square and get me two hot coffees. Hurry, don't waste time."
At this moment, telling him to leave made Xiao Wu's face turn awkward.
"Miss Shen..."
"Did you not understand me? Do I need to repeat myself?"
Reluctantly, Xiao Wu left.
When Lu Qun entered, he witnessed the scene.
"Wow, Miss Shen, you've got quite the authority. What's going on here?" he mocked.
Shen Ming, uninterested in his flattery, replied coldly, "One of my subordinates was being careless and didn't listen. I had to discipline them."
Lu Qun sat across from her.
"Looks like Miss Shen is quite good at managing people."
Shen Ming immediately saw through his intentions. He wanted to use the Huayi project to control her, but little did he know, this trick worked only on Gu Feng.
"Mr. Lu, let's not beat around the bush. I'm not interested in you."
Lu Qun's expression froze.
"Miss Shen, don't speak so recklessly. You and Miss Gu are both here for Huayi's project, and before today, it was Su Yuyan who was negotiating with me. It's fine if you're not interested in me, but you must be interested in this deal."
He kept bringing up the Huayi project.
Shen Ming made her point clear again.
"I've said it before, Mr. Lu, you're of no commercial value to me."
Lu Qun's face darkened. Shen Ming briefly glanced at him while texting.
"You can fool someone like Gu Feng, who's still inexperienced, but there's no need to try it with me. You have no say in Huayi's deal. If I recall correctly, this club was jointly established by your older brother and the second son of the Ning family. Your older brother has some influence, but as for you... forget it."
Lu Qun was enraged by her words.
"I have a say in the Huayi deal, and as a shareholder in the branch, how can you say I'm of no value, Miss Shen? Don't speak too soon."
"Stop pretending," Shen Ming said, her tone sharp. "You made some disastrous investments overseas recently, and your father has been keeping a tight leash on you. The only reason you still have a voice in the Lu family is because your older brother has cooled down."
She knew even about the trouble with his older brother's anger.
"How much effort did you put into your background check to dig all this up?"
"You're allowed to use Huayi as a decoy, but I'm not allowed to investigate? You're quite something—sleeping with your older brother's woman. Funny, the second young master, you're really something."
Lu Qun's face turned red, and she had exposed his most private matters.
Who would have thought that woman was now with his older brother?
She wasn't exactly a saint either.
He was furious, but he knew this woman wasn't to be underestimated.
"I'll admit it. My brother is using me to keep the two Su sisters in check. Mr. Rong is here now, and I guess you won't be able to hide things from Gu Feng either. As for you—let's put business aside. How about joining me for a drink tonight?"
This trick felt all too familiar to her. Wasn't it something she had used to deal with Rong Zhaonan?
With a smile, she replied, "A drink? You, Lu Qun, don't have that kind of qualification. But... it's not impossible, if you agree to one condition."
Lu Qun left the lounge, and when he returned, Shen Ming was with him.
Had she known Rong Zhaonan would be here today, she wouldn't have come.
Seeing him and Gu Feng together made her feel a bit... full.
"Mr. Lu, welcome back," Gu Feng said, standing with a smile. "We're starting the second round soon. Are you confident?"
Shen Ming's cold eyes turned to Gu Feng, who stood behind him—Rong Zhaonan, dressed in casual black sportswear, looked several years younger.
She stared for a moment, and Rong Zhaonan's handsome face shifted as his gaze met hers.
