Good news travels fast without leaving the house, and news of problems within the gu family somehow reaches yi shaozhi's ears.
He had not recovered from his previous failure to deal with the gu family for a long time. Now that the gu family had a problem, it was a godsend opportunity. If he could seize the gu family while it was weak, no one in the business world would be able to compete with the Yi's in the future.
But even though the gu crisis had a solid foundation, swallowing a fat man in one gulp might actually kill him. Yi shaozhi maintained his most basic calm thinking while he was excited. After analyzing in many ways, he finally decided to seek cooperation outside.
Yi shaozhi thought for a long time about the person who could be on the same level as the Yi's and might have the intention to destroy the gu family. In the end, a figure appeared in his mind.
"Ding-dong - ding-dong -"
It was the day of rest, and it was rare for su yanbai not to go out and have fun. She studied business knowledge at home under the supervision of her brother su pan. When the doorbell rang, she took the opportunity to escape su pan's clutches and came to open the door.
The surprise on her face was obvious when she saw yi shaozhi outside the door.
"Why are you here?" She asked.
Yi shaozhi lifted his chin inside, "Won't you invite me in?"
Su yanbai took a step back to let him in, then asked, "Are you looking for my brother? He's upstairs. I can help you..."
"I don't know your brother." Yi shaozhi interrupted her and said, "I'm here to see you."
Su yanbai was stunned, "Looking for me?... And come to my house? We're not that close, are we?" As she spoke, she thought of something and paused for a moment before continuing, "If it was the last time you took me to the hospital, I would thank you very much, but between us..."
"Miss su, don't get me wrong. I just came here today to talk to you about something. There's no harm in it. There's no need to rush out of the relationship." Yi shaozhi explained with a proper smile.
"Who misunderstood?" Su yanbai muttered in a low voice and then asked, "Then what are you going to talk about?"
Yi shaozhi glanced around, "Can I find a study or something? I wish I could talk to you alone."
"Okay."
Su yanbai took him to the study on the first floor. The maid brought him tea and closed the door. They sat opposite each other on the sofa.
Yi shaozhi said first, "Gu mohan is back from city a, do you know?"
"... Su yanbai glanced at him, not sure if he did it on purpose. Gu mohan came back a few days ago and brought ye zhiqiao back with him. She had heard about it long ago because she had been holding her breath and had not gone to look for gu mohan.
Yi shaozhi took a good look at her reaction, smiled and said, "I see. Do you know about the crisis at the gu family?"
Su yanbai also heard something about it, "Yes. What are you trying to say? Don't ask questions. Just say it."
Yi shaozhi crossed his legs and leaned on the back of the sofa, "Gu, Yi's, su, and the three companies grew up almost at the same time, but as time went on, maybe it was the lack of managers, maybe it was the lack of luck. Only gu was far ahead. Although from the inside of the three companies, I never felt like losing to gu, but my father or your father, I think we all know that the difference is not the slightest bit."
He sipped his tea and continued, "The same is true of the outside world. There are even many media outlets that have made comments about the gu family's dominance in the same industry. For these, I believe that the su family and the Yi's are equally dissatisfied."
Su yanbai thought about it carefully. It seemed that her father and brother had discussed many times that the growing gu family might endanger the su family.
"What do you mean by that?" Su yanbai asked.
Yi shaozhi raised his eyebrows and said, "Miss su is a smart person. I have already made myself clear." He leaned forward and approached su yanbai, saying slowly, "If you want to let go of your past shame, now is the best time."
"You want to attack gu?!"
Yi shaozhi put his index finger on his lips, made a "Shh" gesture and whispered, "Keep your voice down. This kind of big thing can't be known by outsiders."
Su yan bai paused and asked, "Then why did you tell me?"
"Am I not clear enough?" Yi shaozhi licked his lips, "I want to work with you. The Yi's and the su family have a better chance of winning, don't they?"
Working with her?
Su yanbai was even more puzzled, "Why are you cooperating with me? I've never been involved in anything in the company, and I don't understand any business methods. How did you..."
"You can learn to do things you don't know. Your status as miss su is unique. Furthermore, as far as miss su and my personal relationship is concerned, I am willing to cooperate with you and give you the benefits after success."
Yi shaozhi's tone was sincere, and his eyes, which fell on su yanbai's face without any concealment, were also extremely sincere.
Her fingers unconsciously twisted the ears of wheat by the sofa cover, and she quickly thought about the pros and cons.
The su family and the Yi's teamed up to deal with the weak gu family, and the two families split evenly. It sounded like they were in much better shape than they were now.
Father and brother also did not want to continue to live under the oppression of the gu family. They believed that the su family should be the most glorious one, not the one who was forced to live under the gu family.
But what are the chances of success? Perhaps she could immediately give an answer when she asked yi shaozhi, but how reliable was the answer? Can she tell?
The answer, of course, was no.
She's not smart, but she's definitely not stupid. There was a hint of this when he thought about it.
And gu mohan, even if she was angry at gu mohan for not knowing what to do, she would never help anyone to harm him.
Thinking of this, su yanbai raised her head, looked at yi shaozhi generously, and said word by word, "I'm sorry, I can't agree with what you just said."
Yi shaozhi was stunned for a moment. He thought that su yanbai might refuse, but he didn't expect her to refuse so quickly.
"Why not? Have you forgotten gu mohan's attitude towards you? Or is there anything that you don't like about my proposal? If so, you can come up with it, and we'll..."
"Yi shaozhi." Su yanbai looked at him coldly, "You don't have to worry about what happened between gu mohan and me. As for your proposal, I said no, and I said no. There's no need to say more."
She stood up and walked to the door, "I have something to do. I won't see you off."
