Chapter 106: Squeeze Him Dry, Show No Mercy

as calm and collected, not saying much but every word was to the point, making people trust him." 。"Restoring your home system account is a simple operation, but it's almost impossible to find backend..."I've seen it, just mild depression." She lied with a calm voice.

Zuo Yu'an, having never learned about the situation, believed half of what she said due to her calm demeanor.

"Do you need to take medicine"

“I don't need it for now, let's see how things develop.” She lied again. She needed to take medication and undergo psychological counseling. But she was a bit busy lately, and there was a strange feeling in her heart. She always felt that she wouldn't get sick. She didn't have any reasons to become ill. She had survived the most difficult times before, and everything was heading in a positive direction now. How could she possibly get sick

Zuo Yu'an was still not at ease, "Let's go to the hospital together sometime."

"Okay."

"Have you been busy with the acquisition of Whale Finance lately" he suddenly asked.

"Mm."

"Can you handle this yourself"

"Okay."

She was very reserved, answering questions sparingly. Although she had invested in Whale Finance, she encountered many difficulties and had only met Mr. Xiao once, as Zhou Ming said, Mr. Xiao was completely different in public and private. Furthermore, although Mr. Xiao was the person in charge of this acquisition project, his assistant revealed that the real decision-maker might not be Mr. Xiao, but the big boss of Whale Investment, about whom she knew nothing.

But she didn't want to tell Zhuo Yu'an about these work matters, and she was also holding back her energy to prove herself.

"If you're having difficulties with your Jing Finance investment, maybe you should ask Lu Kuo for some advice." He understood her situation so he didn't intervene himself, but instead pointed her in the right direction.

"Lu Kuo" she asked in surprise. What did Lu Kuo have to do with Whale Finance

But seeing Zhuo Yu'an nod confidently, she suddenly had a flash of inspiration. She heard that the big boss of Whale Finance Investment also surnamed Lu. Since Zhuo Yu'an pointed it out specially, then Lu Kuo and this Mr. Lu must have a close relationship.

But she couldn't bring herself to ask Lu Kuò for help. After all, because of Chéng Chén, she had always been cold towards him. If she suddenly went to him for work, it would make her seem too utilitarian.

Zhuo Yu'an saw through her thoughts and said with a heavy heart:

"Tinglan, the most useful connections are those where both parties benefit. When you need something from him, he needs something from you, and there's a give-and-take, then many things become possible."

Shuting Lan asked alertly.

“You wouldn't trick me, would you Lu Kuo has a request of me What could he possibly want from me It’s probably about Cheng Chen, but I’ve always stood firmly by Cheng Chen’s side and won’t help Lu Kuo.”

Zuo Yu'an smiled, "Pretty smart, not stupid."

Isn't this an indirect admission of setting her up

"No, Lu Kuo doesn't know you're in charge of the Whale Finance thing. If he did, with his personality, he'd be even more proactive than you are in making this happen. You can choose to tell him proactively, or wait for him to find out himself. Just be aware, if he finds out on his own, he'll definitely nag you about thinking less of him. The choice is yours; I'm on your side."

Without Zhu Yu'an needing to remind him, Shu Tinglan thought of Lu Kuo's personality. He had always taken charge of their affairs as class monitor in the past.

What is his relationship with Tingjing Financial Investments

"His uncle's company," Zhu Yúan said lightly, without revealing more. There were many intricate relationships behind that company.

"Okay, I understand."

Zhuo Yu'an saw her off to the subway exit and watched her enter the office building of Hongzheng Law Firm before turning away.

Shu Tinglan, as soon as she arrived at the office and put down her bag, immediately called Cheng Chen. She thought that if she wanted to ask Lu Kuò for help, she needed Cheng Chen's approval.

Result, Cheng Chen couldn't help but laugh when he heard her intentions over the phone.

"Tinglan, what are you thinking I told you to use the resources from Senzhou. Lu Kuo may be a jerk, but his connections are just as good as Zhuo Yu'an's. Use him if you can, squeeze every bit out of him, don't hold back."

To drain him, what kind of vicious words are these.

So you don't object to me looking for him, do you

"Why am I against this If we follow your logic, I shouldn't have sold the house to Wen Jian's mother."

"Wulan is looking for you to buy a house"

"Well, he's quite generous. He bought three penthouse suites with balconies all at once, kept one for himself, and gave the other two to his brothers, one each."

"Is Wen Jian also in Qining" she cautiously confirmed, after all, last night, Zhuo Yu'an had told her personally that Wen Jian had gone abroad and would not be coming back.

"No, Wenlan came alone. She said she was going back to Qining to visit relatives."

"Alright, sell her a few more sets. She's definitely not short on money anyway."

"You can use Lu Kuo's resources as much as you like, I have nothing to do with him anymore."

"Okay."

With Cheng Chen's attitude, she contacted Lu Kuo without any burden.

Lu Kuo, upon receiving her call to have dinner, exclaimed that the sun had risen in the west. He felt honored to be favored by her in his lifetime.

Is Mr. Zhu going

"No."

"Oh" Lu Kuo's "oh" was full of meaning. After a moment of silence, he asked

“Is Cheng Chen busy”

This was his most natural thought, after all, it was the only reason Shu Tinglan would take the initiative to contact him.

"No, it's work related. Let's talk when we meet."

"Okay." He felt a bit disappointed, of course. It wasn't like Cheng Chen would ever reach out to him first.st thousands. They usually only frequented such establishments with close friends; company team building or gatherings would never be held at this level of luxury.At midday, he even opened a bottle of...
