Chapter 619 Start over
"Why are you here?" His face, which had been expressionless until now, finally changed when he saw Lin Hao.

Especially after hearing Lin Hao's words, Liang Shuang's heart was in turmoil. Originally, he was only seeking spiritual and physical stimulation with Lin Hao.

However, she didn't expect that when she was most isolated and helpless, Lin Hao stood firmly behind her and supported her.

Lin Hao was like the sun, shining his rays on her, making his heart, which was chilled to the bone, feel warm!

Lin Hao walked up to Liang Shuang, hugged her tightly in front of everyone, and then said:

"let's go!"

Feeling Lin Hao's warm embrace was like a safe haven, giving Liang Shuang's soul a harbor to dock, and Liang Shuang felt like he was coming back alive.

"Hmm!" Liang Shuang moaned, took a last look at Jiang Lanzhou and the others, then followed Lin Hao out of the hospital.

Just after Lin Hao and Liang Shuang left, Zhang Pengcheng, who had been unconscious on the hospital bed, slowly opened his eyes.

In fact, Lin Hao had been here a long time ago, but he had been using illusion skills so that no one could see him. When he saw that Liang Shuang was about to collapse, Lin Hao gave Zhang Pengcheng one day of life time to allow him to recover quickly.

Then Lin Hao came in from outside, looking like he had just arrived.

Lin Hao did not help Liang Shuang solve the problem directly. Lin Hao's methods were too simple, but there was no other way. Liang Shuang was too arrogant.

Of course, this kind of character has been cultivated since childhood. Maybe because of his good looks, Liang Shuang has always been the kind of person who is the center of attention since he was a child.

Therefore, there will be many boys around her, and they will try every means to make her happy, and everything is centered on themselves.

Except for her close roommate, she doesn't care much about other people's feelings, which is also the root cause of the Zhang Pengcheng incident.

Of course, in the whole incident, the responsibility does not lie with any one party, but rather the ecological environment of this industry is like this.

It is definitely unfair for Zhang Pengcheng’s girlfriend to put all the blame on Liang Shuang.

To put it bluntly, if Zhang Pengcheng's girlfriend had not quarreled with him that day, Zhang Pengcheng would not have made such a low-level mistake, and all the subsequent events would not have happened.

That's why Lin Hao helped Zhang Pengcheng to wake up. Of course, he also had to let Liang Shuang learn a lesson. If he didn't suffer a little loss now, he would definitely suffer a worse fall in the future.

After leaving the hospital, Liang Shuang let go of Lin Hao's arm and expressed his gratitude solemnly:
"Thank you!"

Lin Hao rubbed Liang Shuang's head lovingly and said affectionately:

"I thought that with our relationship, there was no need to say thank you!"

At this time, Liang Shuang did not answer Lin Hao. Instead, she stared at Lin Hao with her beautiful eyes, and then asked curiously:

"By the way, why did you come to the hospital?"

Lin Hao smiled. He certainly couldn't tell the truth at this time and say that he had been here a long time ago, so he pretended to be calm and said:

"I heard that you were wronged and that you were forced to come to the hospital to apologize, so of course I came to you as soon as possible!"

"By the way, what are your plans for the future?" Lin Hao asked in a low voice.

"I~!" Liang Shuang was a little confused at this moment, but when he thought about how Jiang Lanzhou forced him to come to the hospital to apologize, he no longer had any good feelings towards Jiang Lanzhou.

Then Liang Shuang said in a firm tone:
"I don't know what to do next, but I will definitely leave Lanzhou Company!"

"Okay, I will pay your penalty for breach of contract!" Lin Hao said.

"No need. The money I've earned over the years is almost enough to pay the penalty!" Liang Shuang is still the same Liang Shuang, and he just wants to take responsibility by himself if something goes wrong.

"Sure enough, the loss is still not big enough!" Lin Hao sighed in his heart, and then Lin Hao reminded:
But don’t forget, if Zhang Pengcheng’s girlfriend really spreads this matter on the Internet, your life will be difficult.

"If you want to continue working in the live streaming industry in the future, it may not be that easy!"

Liang Shuang fell silent after hearing this, because Lin Hao hit the core of the matter. Being impulsive may make you feel good for a while, but it will end up in the crematorium afterwards. She also experienced this feeling today.

At this time, Lin Hao showed his true colors and asked, "Have you ever thought about changing your career?"

Liang Shuang looked at Lin Hao in confusion and asked, "Besides live streaming, what other industries can I change to?"

“Haha~!” Lin Hao smiled and said, “Keep it secret for now. I’ll tell you after things are settled!”

Then the two of them went back to Room 602 together, and Ding Yixuan also came out of his room. When he saw Lin Hao coming back, he went up to him, hugged him and said:

"Your idea is really good. I have discussed it with the editor and he is also very optimistic about this setting~!"

Liang Shuang looked at the two of them in bewilderment, and then asked Ding Yixuan who was gesticulating with joy:
"Xiao Ding, what are you talking about?"

"Oh, that's it!" Ding Yixuan said excitedly upon hearing this:
"I'm preparing for a new book. Brother Lin gave me an idea, so I wrote an outline and talked to my editor about it. It's a pretty good idea, and he's very optimistic about it!"

"Oh, I see!" Liang Shuang lost interest when he heard that it was about writing a novel, but still said, "Congratulations, Xiao Ding!"

At this time, Liang Shuang suddenly discovered that Jiang Xiaoguo was not at home today, so he asked in confusion:

"By the way, where's Xiaoguo?"

"Isn't she off work yet?"

"I don't know!" Ding Yixuan said immediately after hearing this: "I have been at home all day, and Xiaoguo has not come back!"

"Is he staying out all night again?" Ding Yixuan seemed to remember something and said in shock:
"Wait, what do you think? Could it be that Xiaoguo is in love?"

Liang Shuang also reacted after hearing this, and then said in disbelief:
"How about we call and ask, just in case~!"

Lin Hao actually knew what Jiang Xiaoguo's current situation was, but he just didn't want to intervene now. Or rather, he had already intervened in Jiang Xiaoguo's feelings!

Liang Shuang then called Jiang Xiaoguo and after some questions, he learned that Jiang Xiaoguo's project financing had failed and he was looking for a new project.

And she is currently dating someone, so Jiang Xiaoguo said:

"Don't worry, it's nothing, I'm having dinner with my friends!"

Having said that, Jiang Xiaoguo glanced at the person opposite him, and then whispered:

"I won't be back tonight!"

Jiang Xiaoguo immediately hung up the phone and asked the person in front of him:
"Who is it, your friend?"

The person who spoke was none other than Zhou Xun who had returned to Shenzhen. It turned out that since the establishment of Xingyuan Investment, Zhou Xun had been looking for project investments while secretly observing Jiang Xiaoguo.

Zhou Xun felt a sense of crisis when he found out that Jiang Xiaoguo didn't have a boyfriend but had an old classmate who had just started working.

So he decisively pursued Jiang Xiaoguo again, and Jiang Xiaoguo's attitude was also ambiguous, but she did not reject him as she did at the beginning.

"Yes, my roommate, the one you know, is actually my best friend Liang Shuang from school!" Jiang Xiaoguo said immediately.

Zhou Xun nodded, and then said:
"Okay, then I'll continue to help you analyze it!"

"Do you think that the timing of the Milin Sparkling Wine project you followed was too coincidental?"

It turned out that after Jiang Xiaoguo left the company after get off work, she went on a date with Zhou Xunlai, and during the date they happened to talk about the failure of Jiang Xiaoguo's project.

At this time, Jiang Xiaoguo, who was still unwilling to accept the failure of the Milin project, asked Zhou Xun to help analyze the reasons for her failure.

At first Zhou Xun didn't care, but when he was communicating with Jiang Xiaoguo, he heard Jiang Xiaoguo mention several people's names and he had some guesses in his mind.

So he asked Jiang Xiaoguo to tell him the whole story in detail and began to help Jiang Xiaoguo analyze the reasons for the failure.

Jiang Xiaoguo didn't understand what Zhou Xun meant when he heard this, so he asked directly:

"Coincidence? I don't understand what you mean?"

Zhou Xun then carefully helped Jiang Xiaoguo analyze:
"Don't you think the failure of your project happened too coincidentally?"

"First, your contract with Milin failed, and the failure was very sudden!"

"Second, Hongtuo signed the contract one hour earlier than you did, and the price was exactly one percentage point higher than the first payment you offered."

"Third, at the same time, Alex and Chris won Huaqingji's Series C financing."

Then Zhou Xun said firmly:
"And these three things happened almost at the same time. Do you still think this is a coincidence?"

Jiang Xiaoguo was stunned when she heard this. She had thought it was just bad luck before, but after Zhou Xun's analysis, she indeed saw many problems that had been overlooked.

Thinking of this, Jiang Xiaoguo murmured to himself:
"No wonder. I was also surprised that Chris was so calm about the failure of the Milin project in the office before, and was very tolerant of Qi Song and me."

"But why?" Jiang Xiaoguo had a vague guess, but he didn't understand the operation, so he asked in confusion:

"What on earth happened in the meantime that led to the failure of our project?"

Zhou Xun smiled when he heard this, and then continued:

"You got the logic wrong. It should be that your Milin project failed, and then other projects happened!"

Jiang Xiaoguo stopped talking at this time and simply listened to Zhou Xun's analysis, so he said:

"Don't keep me in suspense. Tell me what's going on."

Zhou Xun nodded upon hearing this, and then continued:
"If you want to understand the reasons, you must first analyze the internal factors of three things, interpersonal relationships!"

Hearing this, Jiang Xiaoguo immediately felt that what Zhou Xun was going to say might be something she didn't know, so she sat up straight and listened to Zhou Xun's story carefully.

"When I was in Puling before, I competed with Lan He, so I am more familiar with Lan He's interpersonal relationships!"

"The one who snatched the Milin project from you was Hongtuo, and the founder of Hongtuo Fund was Annie. Annie used to work at Lanhe, and her best colleague at the time was Chris!"

"After Annie founded Hongtuo Fund, it had never been well-known. The turning point was its investment in Huaqingji, the number one domestic beauty brand!"

"When Huaqingji was in the angel round, Hongtuo was optimistic about them and injected capital into them at that time, so Hongtuo had a great say in which company would be accepted in Huaqingji's subsequent rounds of financing, ABC rounds!"

After listening to Zhou Xun sorting out the interpersonal relationships, countless possibilities flashed through Jiang Xiaoguo's mind. The first guess was that Chris and Annie had secretly reached some kind of deal.

Then Jiang Xiaoguo asked doubtfully:

"Just because Annie from Hongtuo has a good relationship with Chris, Hongtuo was able to let Lanhe invest in Huaqingji in the C round?"

Before Zhou Xun could answer his question, Jiang Xiaoguo analyzed to himself:

“But no matter how good their relationship is, without an exchange of interests, how could Hongtuo give the big piece of fat meat like Huaqingji to Lan He for nothing!”

"That is to say, they secretly made some deals, or exchanges, and the bargaining chip that Lan He exchanged was the Milin sparkling wine we followed, and Hongtuo's bargaining chip was Huaqingji's Series C financing!"

Having said that, Jiang Xiaoguo looked up at Zhou Xun, wanting to get confirmation from him.

"Xiaoguo, you are really smart!" He praised Jiang Xiaoguo, poured her a glass of water, and continued:
"For Lan He, taking over a startup company like Milin is far less cost-effective than taking over a unicorn with outstanding performance, so you have been betrayed!"

Jiang Xiaoguo suddenly realized, and then said in a low voice:
"That is to say, it was Chris who leaked our financing plan. No wonder we lost the Jungle Forest project. Chris didn't seem surprised at all and even comforted us!"

"I was wondering why Hongtuo knew so much about the Milin project and proposed an investment amount that was just right, just one percentage point higher than ours."

At this time, Zhou Xun added another blow and continued:
"He not only leaked your plan, but also helped them delay time..."

"Ha, it doesn't matter!" Jiang Xiaoguo pondered for a while and said somewhat disheartenedly.

At this time, Zhou Xun also revealed his true intentions:
"Xiaoguo, come to Xingyuan! Xingyuan Investment has just started and is in the development stage. It is a good place for you to realize your ambitions!"

Then Zhou Xun grabbed Jiang Xiaoguo's hand and said with great emotion:

"The most important thing is that I want to be with you. I have no other expectations in this life except you!"

"Especially in the past three years, I've been thinking about you every day and night in Shanghai~!" Zhou Xun took out a bunch of red roses from somewhere:

"Xiao Guo, let's start over. Be my girlfriend!"

At this time, Jiang Xiaoguo was a little confused. Weren’t they just discussing the reasons for the failure of the Milin project?

How did it suddenly become a social gathering place? This surprised Jiang Xiaoguo, but she was still a little scared.

At the beginning, Jiang Xiaoguo rejected Zhou Xun's excuse because Zhou Xun once told her that love only accounted for 10% of his life, which Jiang Xiaoguo could not accept.

However, as she grows older and gains more social experience, she is no longer the same Jiang Xiaoguo.

When she entered the workplace and struggled to make a living, she realized how luxurious it was to have 10% of emotional life in the adult world!

Whenever she thought of the little things that happened back then, Jiang Xiaoguo suddenly realized that although love only accounted for 10% of Zhou Xun's words, his actions amounted to far more than 10%!
