Chapter 215 The art of checks and balances
The next day, morning, Honey Media.

Bian Yue sat in the office, looking at the gift Yao Yimin placed on the table, and smiled helplessly, "It's good that you are here, why did you bring something?"

"The performance of "Sheng Shi Yan" is excellent, I should thank you." Yao Yimin smiled and said sincerely: "Bian Yue, if it weren't for your support and trust, these things would not have gone so smoothly."

Bian Yue had a complicated expression. She withdrew her gaze from the gifts on the table and restrained her expression. "Don't worry, Xie Zhang is over there."

"No need." Yao Yimin interrupted Bian Yue. Her tone was as if she was relieved and extremely calm. "At this point, I have given up. Bian Yue, to be honest, I have met Xie Zhang. He is more indifferent than I thought. I know I can't impress him, and I am sure that you can't impress him either. Even if you really use Shen Jinci's power to suppress him, there will be no good results."

"Yimin, what did you talk about with him?" Bian Yue frowned and asked uneasily.

"It doesn't matter anymore. It's all in the past." Yao Yimin shook her head with a bitter smile. "I've always known that Jiayi's death is a scar in my heart, but for Xie Zhang, it's just a deviation in his life. I can't expect him to express his attitude towards Jiayi's death, so now, I've tried my best and figured it out."

Bian Yue knew that there was no way to figure out this kind of thing.

Yao Yimin said these things simply because she didn't want to make things difficult for herself.

Bian Yue lowered her eyes, with complicated emotions in them. There was nothing unusual in her voice, but she was cautious enough. "Yimin, I can't do anything for you right now. When Mitang is back on the right track, I will let Xie Zhang give you an explanation."

Yao Yimin's smile deepened. She shook her head and held Bian Yue's hand. "I came here specially to see you today because I don't want you to be too worried and have any psychological burden. Bian Yue, the development of Mi Tang is the top priority. As for Jia Yi's matter, I have really given up."

She has already given all of An Jiayi's diaries to Xie Zhang, which is her biggest trump card.

Bian Yue has done her a favor, and Yao Yimin doesn't want anything to happen to Bian Yue unless it is absolutely necessary.

At this point, when she said she gave up, it was not an expression of comfort to Bian Yue.

The road of life is to always move forward.

"Bian Yue, thank you so much. It's really not necessary. In fact, I also hope that you can be happier. If there is any past that you can't let go of, try to let it go and don't make yourself suffer. Everything should be based on your feelings first."

Bian Yue could tell that Yao Yimin was really thinking about her, but she didn't know how to respond.

She looked at Yao Yimin's hand tightly clasped on the back of her hand, her brows slowly frowned, pursed her lips, and said nothing.
Lu Zhinian arrived at noon that day, and he and Yao Yimin came one after the other, and they happened to meet each other.

His status was special and distinguished, so Bian Yue personally went downstairs to greet him and said with a smile: "Boss Lu, how did you find time to come here?"

"I heard from Zhuang Jie Ning that there have been some internal turmoil in Fengcheng recently." Lu Zhinian followed Bian Yue's steps and walked inside. Looking at the employee area, the entire Fengcheng was in order.

Bian Yue put a lot of thought into this, so now we have this scene.

"Whether Feng Cheng's internal strife is real or not, it has nothing to do with me, right?"

Bian Yue tried to distance herself from the matter, and Lu Zhinian smiled.

"Bian Yue, since I have chosen to cooperate with you, do you think I haven't even found out these things? There are really intricate connections between you and the Li family." When Lu Zhinian saw that Bian Yue's expression changed obviously when he said this.

He smiled and followed Bian Yue into the office. He looked around first, then casually continued, "You probably didn't come to see me these two days because of these things, right?"

"'The Beauty' is coming out, and I have a lot of business to discuss. I just can't spare the time." Bian Yue calmly made tea for Lu Zhinian. There was no clue in her expression, and she was no longer as easy to read as before.

Lu Zhinian smiled, looked at the tea placed in front of him, and said calmly: "Isn't this tea made specially for me?"

"I just drank with Yimin," Bian Yue smiled calmly, also looking directly at Lu Zhinian, and said in a calmer voice: "Mr. Lu, you didn't come here just for me today, did you?"

"How do you know it's not? If you hadn't been here for a few days, I wouldn't have had to make this trip." Lu Zhinian raised his eyebrows, looking at him with a little scrutiny, "Let me ask you, do you still plan to continue your cooperation with Lixing?"

Bian Yue's smile faded, and she was exceptionally calm. "My cooperation with Li Xing has nothing to do with you, right?"

"You said that, which means you plan to continue." Lu Zhinian curled his lips. He had a mature and cold temperament, and this smile seemed a little more casual.

He said sternly, "Bian Yue, I know you don't like me asking about your affairs, but as your partner, I must remind you that the art of checks and balances is not that easy. Be careful that in the end, instead of a win-win situation for all three parties, it will end up being a lose-lose situation for all parties."

Bian Yue looked at Lu Zhinian with an expressionless face, and there was a hint of coldness in her eyes.

Lu Zhinian smiled calmly, "You don't believe it? Bian Yue, there is no affection in the business world. You and Shen Jinci are playing tactics, and I'm afraid you will return empty-handed."

After Lu Zhinian finished speaking for a long time, Bian Yue finally spoke in a suppressed voice, "Thank you, Mr. Lu, for reminding me. If I really fail, I will never involve Xinghe's interests."

Lu Zhinian's smile was more genuine. He placed a document on the table and stood up with a smile. "This is a gift for you. I hope you can be as sharp-tongued as me at the negotiation table of Lixing."

He walked out, and Bian Yue looked at the documents on the table, with veins throbbing on his forehead.

She understood very early on that the business world was not a place for favoritism. Bian Yue was used to seeing the open and covert struggles between Li Siheng and Li Tingmo for so many years. She also understood that if Shen Jinci stood from Li Xing's perspective, there was no way he would be partial to her.

Bian Yue frowned and picked up the documents that Lu Zhinian had placed on the table.

She flipped through it, and after reading just a few lines, her face changed. She stared at the contract in front of her in a daze, and flipped through it in disbelief. Then, the document in her hand fell to the ground.

Her fingers felt numb and her mind went blank for a moment.

Wen Jiao walked in from outside and said as he walked: "What did Lu Zhinian say to you when he came here? Why did he leave? Bian Yue. You..."

Wen Jiao stood in front of Bian Yue, looking at Bian Yue's pale face, and asked in panic: "Are you feeling unwell? Why do you look so bad?"

Bian Yue picked up the documents on the ground. Her movements were slow. After a long while, she said softly, "Jiao Jiao, I'm fine. I just want to be alone and quiet for a while."
