In fact, the fire of the house in Lijing Tiandi was just a small accident, which did not cause the loss of the surrounding houses. It was just that the green belt of the community was damaged and could be solved by paying some money. But the next day, the Internet and newspapers reported the matter and pointed out that it was the Xiao family's empty house.

One of the most important reasons why the community can attract many rich families to move in is that the community takes strict confidentiality measures for the owner's information, that is, even if the fire brigade is called, it is impossible for anyone to disclose that this is the Xiao family's house.

But what the report says is true. It can be seen that someone must be manipulating behind the scenes. Otherwise, if this matter has nothing to do with the Xiao family, it will not be reported at all.

Shen Xinbai thought of Xiao Yan's words and really felt that Lu Jiayi had done it nine times out of ten. On her first day at work, Shen Xinbai heard that the headquarters was competing for a piece of land, which she had seen on Xiao Yan's mobile phone. Obviously, Xiao has also participated in the bidding and is determined to win. Now he has started planning.

When he was in the headquarters before, Lu had already developed into real estate, and because he suppressed song, who was a little famous in the real estate industry for the first time, he was a great success. But on the land of the logistics park, it was defeated by Xiao Yan, and it was disheartened. If we lose to Xiao Yan again this time, Lu's real estate industry may not improve in two or three years.

Seeing that the land around the city has been almost acquired and developed, Nanli is a fat and oily place. I'm afraid it's not just Lu and Xiao. Many real estate developers in the city are very interested in it and will fight for it by any means.

The biggest enemy of all real estate developers is Xiao Yan. Xiao Yan faced many enemies this time, which is unimaginable.

Originally, in the real estate industry, Lu is not the most powerful to compete with Xiao, but if you add Steven's help, the result will be very different

"Jiayi, will you really cooperate with Steven in order to win or lose?" Shen Xinbai turned his mobile phone and said to himself, but he didn't call Lu Jiayi, but planned to go directly to Lu's headquarters.

At this time, Lu's headquarters.

In the attic office, a blonde man was sitting on the sofa, looking at Lu Jiayi with a clear smile.

"President Lu made an appointment with me. It seems that he has made up his mind?" Steven said in fluent Chinese.

When Steven spoke Chinese, Lu Jiayi did not speak English to him, but said, "did Mr. Johnson know about the fire in a house of Xiaoyan yesterday?"

"Ha ha... Of course," said Steven, "I am very concerned about the news in your country, especially in this city."

Lu Jiayi nodded and said, "that's good. I won't beat around the bush. My people did the fire of the Xiao family last night. In fact, it's not intentional. It's just because my people just went to the house to find something and found it... But they think it's too messy to be found. They just burned it and avoid future trouble."

Steven said with a smile, "what are you looking for? Is it the gift Mr. Lu wants to give me?"

"You can also say that," said Lu Jiayi. "It's really a gift, but it's just for you to know. It won't be given to you."

Steven smiled and looked very relaxed, but in fact, he was already thinking about what Lu Jiayi said about the "meeting ceremony".

"Sir, you must have quite a good understanding of my details when you talk about cooperation with me so sincerely. Are you sorry if I have nothing to say about your painstaking investigation?"

"Oh? What does Mr. Lu intend to repay me?" Steven said.

"Listen to my sister, you have a handle in Xiao Yan's hand, so you don't dare to act rashly against Xiao Yan, but you must take it back first. I'll help you take it back first, knowing what you mean," said Lu Jiayi. "It's just not safe to put it in your place, so I'd better keep it for you first. After all, it's related to the arms lifeline of the whole Steven family."

Steven's smile froze for a moment and then said with a smile: "Mr. Lu, I have to admit that you have a lot of brains. Just your intelligence... Ha ha, it's still a little worse. You said that this matter is related to the arms lifeline of the whole Steven family. In that case, how can I let it lie with you, eh?"

Lu Jiayi smiled: "Of course you won't let him lie down with me, but I have the ability to keep you from taking it. Of course, if I volunteer to give it to you, it's another matter. You know, all documents can be copied. Now I have copied it into three copies and handed it to different people and places. Once I have an accident, these things will appear Where it appears“

"You don't have to doubt the ability and loyalty of Lu's employees. Moreover, you don't have to guess who these three people are, because I can expect you to guess what you can guess."

Lu Jiayi's news is enough to annoy Steven, but Steven still wears a gentleman's smile and says, "President Lu, this just proves that you are afraid of me. Am I right?"

"You can say that," said Lu Jiayi. "If I don't have enough chips to protect my life, I'm committing suicide."

"What do you want from this' gift '?" Steven said.

Lu Jiayi said with a smile, "it's very simple. I know you want to treat Xiao Yan and get another thing you want from him. As long as you help me, I will help you deal with him and achieve good results. As for casinos and banks, I don't think you need to get them. Since I have a good gun, what do you want to do?"

Steven said, "you mean to let me help in vain?"

"Steven, I think your understanding is a little extreme, and your words are a little bad. How can you call Bai's help? It's a mutually beneficial cooperation. This time, I need your help, but next time, when you need my help, I will also help." Lu Jiayi said.

Steven leaned back on the sofa and remained silent for a long time. He said, "President Lu, since you know that this time you are asking me for help, wait for my news. Just as president Lu, you need to think about it, I also need to think about it."

"Please help yourself," said Lu Jiayi.

"You know about the 'gift' from my subordinate Wu Tian? Not from Mrs. Xiao."

"It's really from Mrs. Xiao. If you don't believe it, I can't help it." Lu Jiayi said.

Steven got up and left.

Lu Jiayi certainly knows that Steven's "consideration" is not just thinking with his head, but he needs to find a handle that can also control Lu or himself, at least equivalent to what Lu now has. If he can't find such a thing, maybe he will fight elsewhere, no longer cooperate with Lu, but completely oppose Lu.

But the latter seems unlikely, because he has no choice now.

It's really exciting to win in negotiations with people like Steven. But at this time, Lu Jiayi did not feel happy at all. Because in fact, there was nothing in his hand that could contain Steven. If Xiao Yan deals with his mind more than Steven, then just give that handle back to Steven.

Or, once Steven has found a way to solve it, the so-called handle in his hand will be of no use at all. At that time... The initiative is completely in Steven's hands, and he can only become the fish on Steven's chopping board.

But if he didn't have this handle, he would still be the fish on Steven's chopping board. Now he is. It is natural to choose the former between being controlled at a moment and being controlled immediately.

As soon as Shen Xinbai entered Lu's building, he saw a blonde man walking out of the elevator

"Hey... Mrs. Shaw! What a coincidence..." Steven smiled very gentlemanly.

Shen Xin nodded with a smile and said, "it's quite a coincidence."

But there was nothing else to say.

In fact, she doesn't need to go up at all, because Steven has already appeared here, which is enough to explain the problem

"I had a good talk with Mr. Lu," Steven said, "but it seems... Mrs. Xiao is not very happy."

"It doesn't matter whether you feel good or bad, because it has nothing to do with me. I just came back from vacation to report to President Lu." Shen Xinbai said.

Just as the elevator opened, Shen Xinbai entered the elevator and stopped talking to him.

At the top floor office, Yang Ziming is not in, and Shen Xinbai knocks directly at the door.

"Come in," said Lu Jiayi.

Seeing that Shen Xinbai came over, he was stunned. Obviously, Shen Xinbai and Steven may have met downstairs.

"Xinbai, how was your annual vacation? It's very interesting in Europe. You've been to several countries. Did you have a good time?" Lu Jiayi said with a smile.

"Thanks to Mr. Lu, it's very good," Shen Xinbai said, "but the situation is not very good after coming back. Our house in Lijing Tiandi is on fire. Should Mr. Lu see it?"

"Yes, I saw it early in the morning," Lu Jiayi said. "The house was decorated in a style. Now it's a pity that it's gone on fire."

Shen Xinbai smiled and did not beat around the bush. "Lu is always bound to win the land in Nanli. It doesn't matter if he becomes someone else's running dog for this?"

Lu Jiayi saw Shen Xinbai's impoliteness and smiled. He leaned against the boss's chair and looked at him impolitely: "Xinbai, why do I listen to you? It seems that I don't want us Lu to win? Although you are the daughter-in-law of the Xiao family, you are still Lu's employee and Lu's second largest shareholder. Isn't it inappropriate for you to ask me that?"

"President Lu", Shen Xinbai said, "I hope Lu will compete in a proper way."

"What is a proper way?" Lu Jiayi said. "Xinbai, are you stepping into the mall on the first day? There has never been a proper way in the competition in the mall."
