Chapter 323 Negotiation Inside Story

In a high-end store.

"Sir, do you think I look good in this one? And this one?"

"They all look good!" He lowered his voice, "Hehe, but I like you better without anything on, haha..."

"Sir..." he said in a protracted tone, dissatisfied and coquettishly, "What? It's not sincere at all."

"Oh? So... if you like it, just take it. You don't have to save money for me! Haha, things in small places are cheap."

Although the slightly vulgar and arrogant words are inelegant, it is undeniable that they can bring a supreme sense of vanity to some women.

The waiter on the side was naturally even more excited, with a flushed face, and kept saying all kinds of seductive words, selling expensive clothes one after another to the woman next to the "rich man".

Not far away from these people, there was also a pair of noble men and women who came in with them and were choosing clothes. However, this man did not show the nouveau riche temperament of his companion. Instead, he smiled and gave professional advice to his female companion based on her body shape and temperament.

"This one is very nice, what do you think, Sir?"

"Well, I have good taste, and this one is really good. But you have fair skin and plump curves, so it's not really suitable for wearing such a flashy short skirt... Well, this one suits you better. Although the neckline is a bit low, it is not suitable for you. Pair it with a white bead necklace so it won’t look exaggerated, and it can better highlight your graceful figure.”

"Haha, thank you Sir."

"It's an honor to match an already gorgeous flower with the right green leaves. You know, it's my honor!"

"hehe……"

It has to be said that although this rather handsome man lacks the aura of wealth and wealth, his decent words and deeds are undoubtedly very popular with his female companions.

There is no doubt that it is this flower guy... Tang En touched his nose to make sure he had not seen the wrong person before, and then looked at each other with Joshua. Both of them were a little surprised. Shouldn't he be still a few cities away... …

But since we have met, of course we have to say hello. Tang En walked forward and put his hand on the handsome young man's shoulder: "This elder brother is very experienced. I admire him. I admire him. Well, can you give some advice to my female companion?"

"Easy to say, uh... Tangtangtang?" The handsome young man turned around gracefully, then he had a frightened expression on his face and stammered.

The corners of Tang En's mouth were slightly raised, waiting to say something. Unexpectedly, the handsome young man quickly glanced at the face of Josiah, who was smiling but not smiling, and was slightly relieved. Then he glanced at Josiah's figure again, suddenly startled, his face changed, and he rushed forward to hug him. Tang En kept patting his back and said excitedly: "Ah ha, what a coincidence. I didn't expect to meet you here...Tell me, is this Joshua?"

The latter sentence was said softly, and Tang En couldn't help but be startled, and then he realized what he was saying. It was true that Josiah had disguised himself, but his skills were still lacking. Similar to acquaintances or people with a sharp eye, they can still see flaws.

And this handsome young man has both. Not only does he have a vicious eye for women, but he is also very familiar with Josiah. More importantly, he knows Tang En's disguise ability. In this way, it is not surprising that he can guess it. .

Just when Tang En was stunned for a moment, the handsome young man undoubtedly got the answer. He let go of his arms, took a step back, and waved to the "rich man" who was looking over from a short distance away. Then he waved seriously and said, "Well, let me introduce you. This is Tang En, and this is..." With a hesitant look on his face, he vaguely said as if he didn't know Josiah's identity, "He's Tang En's friend."

Then he pointed to the somewhat incomprehensible noble lady beside him, "As for this lady..."

"Philip, what's wrong?" The majestic rich man came over with a few people and asked in confusion.

With a quick wink, Philip went up to him and pulled the wealthy man over, "This is Sir Alex. This noble lady is his sister. Well, she is also my sister. Haha..."

The introduction seemed to be a string of tongue twisters and was said urgently and quickly, leaving everyone present dumbfounded.

Tang En was sober. Looking at Philip who was pretending to be calm and the traces of sweat on his temples, he couldn't help but curl up the corner of his mouth and chuckled secretly. This guy's reaction is really quick. It would be a pity not to act...

In fact, Phillip's actions have only one purpose, which is to clear up the relationship. Tang En knew that Phillip wanted to pursue Joshua, and even most people in the Gray Army station also knew about it. After all, the things he had done before, such as playing the piano under the moonlight and using the washing machine to be courteous, had a considerable impact. Now he is determined to pick up girls, and he happens to be bumped into by Josiah, so naturally he has to do his best to excuse himself...

Regardless of whether Phillip's good intentions were effective, the subsequent chat became even more awkward.

Phillip Phillip used a babbling tone and spoke very empty words to support the scene. His female companion, the aristocratic lady, inexplicably had an extra brother and a younger brother, and her mind was a little confused for a while. Tang En had no intention of resolving the situation, and was looking at the current situation with great interest. Josiah didn't know if he saw the doorway inside, but he watched with a calm expression. Alex was stunned that he had a younger sister, but his reaction was not slow. After receiving Philip's signal, he not only took over the relationship, but also secretly emphasized it several times in subsequent conversations. Immediately, he observed the disheveled Josiah without any trace, with a look of confusion and disbelief on his face...

Naturally, such a scene could not last long. When the sweat on Philip's forehead became more and more obvious, Alex cooperated and hit him a few times, and then took the aristocratic sister beside Philip to leave.

"Haha, long time no see. Let's find a place to sit down and have a drink." Phillip maintained the stiff smile on his face, not daring to look at Joshua, and suggested to Tang En.

Shrugging his shoulders, Tang En said nonchalantly: "Okay, great, I have a few questions to ask you."

…

Without going far, they found a tavern nearby. However, a tavern that can be opened in a city square is certainly not an ordinary one. The decoration inside is very luxurious, and it caters to nobles, wealthy businessmen and other distinguished guests.

With Phillip taking the lead, Tang En and Joshua were not embarrassed by the waiter at the door. The three of them found a quiet place on the second floor and ordered a few drinks to send the waiter away.

Tang En was really a little confused. It was inconvenient to ask because there was a stranger present just now. After sitting down, he immediately said: "Philip, why are you here? Is the negotiation team here too?"

After arriving here, Phillip still didn't dare to look at Josiah next to him. He was sitting on pins and needles. Now hearing the inquiry, he quickly took over the conversation: "No, those old guys were too slow, so Alex and I came here first."

That's it... Tang En and Joshua looked at each other and nodded secretly. According to the intelligence obtained in advance, the other party should still be two days away from arriving. If you can even get this wrong, then the secret agency is too weak.

The drinks were delivered quickly, and as soon as the conversation started, a waiter came over with a tray, two glasses of wine and a glass of green juice.

Joshua picked up the juice and raised it to Phillip. The latter looked flattered at first, then felt something was wrong and quickly calmed down. He picked up the glass in response, raised his head and drank most of it.

Every move of a nobleman has standards, and so does the way he holds his drink. By this time, Philip was convinced that the charming woman in front of him was Josiah. She couldn't help but feel a little uneasy. Did she doubt what happened just now...

Since Tang En and the others were alone with Phillip, they naturally wanted to ask about the negotiations. And Phillip didn't know whether he wanted to make up for his previous performance, or whether he really didn't care about it. He just seemed to answer every question.

Through conversation, Tang En and the others learned some of the inside story of this negotiation.

Of course, the people in the capital don't have a favorable impression of the Gray Army, but the current situation is so tense that it's not appropriate to open a second battlefield. In addition, the new nobles saw the value of the Gray Army, and after some efforts, the current negotiation situation was finally achieved.

Of course, this is just the beginning of negotiations, and no one knows what the outcome will be. However, one thing can be confirmed. If there is a new aristocracy, there will be a corresponding traditional aristocracy. Naturally, they could not sit back and watch the new nobles increase their power and grow stronger. The interest disputes here are very complicated, and even involve the imperial power of the empire. Behind the scenes are the eldest prince who represents the traditional aristocracy and the second prince who supports the new aristocracy...

Just like this negotiation, if the two parties are talking about it, it is naturally the Gray Army and the new nobles. However, there are a lot of traditional nobles in the negotiating team here. On the surface, they are talking about supervision, but everyone knows that they are definitely coming to cause damage.

This was the general environment of the negotiation. As for going a little deeper, such as the new noble's trump card in this negotiation, Philip shook his head and said he didn't know.

As if he was afraid that Tang En and the others would not believe him, Phillip gave another explanation. It turns out that although Philip is a member of the new aristocratic group and his status is not low, he is completely indifferent, which is equivalent to just taking up a name. His purpose of coming here this time is entirely private. As for what purpose, Of course Tang En did it for Joshua.

But having said that, originally such a person should not be accepted by any group, but his situation is a bit special. Phillip didn't explain clearly why it was special, so he just covered it up hesitantly.

After chatting for such a long time, although they didn't find out the core thing, Tang En and the others were already very satisfied. After all, if you don't know the complex situation in the other party's negotiation team, you can easily be led into a ditch by people with ulterior motives.

"Well, look at my memory..." When the scene was a little quiet, Phillip patted his head, looked at Josiah for the first time, and asked with a normal expression, "Don't know what to call this lady? Well, Gray I have been to the Yijun station, but I have never seen you."

Finally here... Tang En raised his eyebrows, looked at Phillip who was pretending to be relaxed but was actually highly focused, picked up the wine glass and covered the corners of his raised mouth.

The purpose of Philip's inquiry is simple, that is, to test. From the previous shop to the current tavern, he pretended not to recognize Josiah. This was undoubtedly to enhance the authenticity of his previous cover-up. And Phillip is also very skillful in questioning now. If Josiah just makes up a fake name, it basically means there is no suspicion. On the other hand, if you tell your name directly, you may see through...

Joshua took a sip of juice and smiled: "Chloe..."

Huh... Phillip breathed a sigh of relief, picked up the wine glass, and smiled enthusiastically: "Oh, Miss Chloe, nice to meet you."

Tang En lowered his head and shrugged his shoulders. What a tragedy... Philip didn't know, but of course Tang En knew that Josiah's full name was Chloe Josiah, and the former was the family name.

Sure enough, Josiah stretched out the cup and touched it, then said: "Josiah! Chloe, Josiah, nice to meet you. Well, it's getting late, so we'll leave first. Thank you for your hospitality. ." After a pause, he looked at Phillip who seemed to have been hit by lightning magic, and smiled, "By the way, your 'sister' is pretty good. Let's make an appointment to go shopping together when we have time."

The emphasis is on words, everything is self-evident.

"Alas..." Tang En stood up, with a twitching corner of his mouth, a heavy expression on his face, and patted the stunned Phillip on the shoulder, "Brother, my condolences!"
