292 Counter Strategy
Unfortunately, Jiang Tong understood Wu Rong very well…
“Miss Jiang, on the phone just now, Director Zhou said that you had a private conversation with Zhou Anguo. Can you tell me honestly what you two talked about?” Wu Rong asked with a sweet voice. She just wanted Jiang Tong to tell the truth without hiding anything!
“It’s regarding some matters about Shao Ying,” Jiang Tong smiled.
“Shao Ying?” Wu Rong seemed to be puzzled and frowned. She smiled and asked, “As far as I know, the Zhou family and the Shao family once thought of a marriage alliance, but it was put on hold because Zhou Jingyun strongly opposed it. However, in recent years, the two families have cooperated in many fields. So, Miss Jiang, you only said some things about Shao Ying, and the Zhou family was willing to turn against the Shao family? The Zhou family will suffer great losses if they go against the Shao family, right?”
This was Wu Rong’s deduction based on the meaning of Zhou Jingyun’s words, and also to test Jiang Tong. She directly determined that Jiang Tong had joined forces with the Zhou family. If Jiang Tong did not deny it, there must be a reasonable explanation. If she was lying, this kind of lie was difficult to round up, and there would be flaws!
“I really find it hard to understand. I wonder if you can tell me, Miss Jiang?” Wu Rong smiled after a pause. She asked very directly. This was her linguistic skill. She would create the impression that the other party could not bear to reject her and that if they did, they might not be able to continue the conversation. What she did not know was that there were some things that Jiang Tong had planned to tell her before coming. What Jiang Tong did not plan to tell her, Wu Rong would not know a word about it!
Jiang Tong smiled and remained silent for a while. Then, she raised her glass and gestured to Wu Rong. Wu Rong also raised her glass in response. The two of them took another sip of wine.
“That’s right. The Zhou family will indeed suffer great losses if they turn from allies to enemies.” Jiang Tong put down the wine glass and looked at Wu Rong with a smile. She continued, “However if the Zhou family can obtain an ally with even greater potential after losing the Shao family as an ally, and not be dragged down by the Shao family’s troubles, I think it’ll be a good thing for the Zhou family.”
Wu Rong blinked and looked at Jiang Tong. Her interest was piqued, not only because the struggle between the big families was worth knowing, but more importantly, it was related to her! If something really happened to the Shao family and they collapsed, Wu Rong would be implicated.
“I wonder if you are willing to tell me more about it, Miss Jiang?” Wu Rong flicked her hair and looked at Jiang Tong with a smile, putting on the attitude of a listener.
“Shao Ying killed someone she shouldn’t have,” Jiang Tong said as if she was reminiscing. After a moment of silence, she picked up her wine glass and gestured to Wu Rong. She took a sip first. After the two drank another mouthful of wine, Jiang Tong told her about how Shao Ying had killed Dong Yuan. Jiang Tong spoke in a very roundabout way and was not direct. She was always indirect with her words. She even asked Wu Rong if she knew Dong Yaozu and Dong Yuan. She also told Wu Rong who Lin Muyu was in a long story.
Wu Rong didn’t find this strange, because from the moment she met Jiang Tong, Jiang Tong had always talked in such a roundabout way! She thought that this was Jiang Tong’s habit of speaking. This caused Jiang Tong to spend another half an hour explaining the situation to Wu Rong. The matter with Shao Ying and Dong Yuan also made Wu Rong understand the stakes involved! This was like a time bomb. As long as Dong Yaozu knew about it, the Shao family would be pushed to the edge of the cliff. During the half an hour of conversation, the two of them had unknowingly finished the entire bottle of red wine. Jiang Tong seemed to be used to drinking and talking, so she took the initiative to raise her glass. Wu Rong couldn’t be rude and she was invested in Jiang Tong’s story as well, so she always drank as much as Jiang Tong drank!
Wu Rong felt that as time passed, Jiang Tong’s speaking speed became faster and faster. She was also very detailed. Wu Rong thought that it was the effect of alcohol, so she was willing to drink with Jiang Tong! In the office, nothing would happen if she drank too much. She felt that Jiang Tong had already entered the rhythm that she could control. As the saying goes, ‘After drinking, you speak the truth’.
“Miss Jiang, do you want to drink more?” Wu Rong saw that Jiang Tong had been holding an empty wine glass. She stood up and walked to the wine cabinet in her high heels. At this moment, her face was slightly red, and she was drunk. She walked to the wine cabinet and opened it again, her back facing Jiang Tong. At this time, Jiang Tong stood up and approached her silently.
Wu Rong stood in front of the wine cabinet and picked some wine. Her alcohol tolerance was really average, but red wine had a strong aftereffect. She didn’t plan to drink it together as it would get to her head. She still picked red wine, which had a lower alcohol content.
