Chapter 776 Negotiation Skills

Of course, what Hua Qi was most curious about was Zuo Feng's secrets, but he couldn't directly ask about it right now. After all, he only participated in the second game that night, and he had no chance to see what happened next.

The reason why he knew what happened in the third game was because a young man in the last game was his friend. He knew very clearly what happened that night, so he made up his mind to come up with a plan to assassinate and rob people.

The appearance of Zuo Feng made him feel guilty and at the same time he didn't know how to deal with it. However, Hua Qi is an important figure in the painter after all. After thinking and analyzing, he finally decided to talk to Zuo Feng face to face. If he avoided it, it would be equivalent to admitting his guilty conscience, and it would even make more people doubt him. He was the one behind the assassin.

What he didn't expect at all was that Zuo Feng would ask about the purpose of inviting him that day. This was something he was unprepared for.

But if Huaqi could calm down and think, he should consider that the other party would ask about these things. I did have a tacit understanding with the Su family about the competition that night. This was a plan that had been completed before the content of the competition at Linshan Villa was finalized.

Although Su Lan planned to invite Zuo Feng, she did not make a final decision while weighing the whole matter. In the end, after thinking about it, Hua Qi put forward a series of suggestions and took the initiative to ask Zuo Feng. This prompted Su Lan to finally decide to let Zuo Feng come.

After Zuo Feng agreed, there was no need to discuss everything, but the final development of the matter was beyond everyone's expectations, and it ended up with no results.

Now Zuo Feng's question didn't seem so abrupt, or it seemed a bit logical for him to question Hua Qi like this.

Listening to Hua Qi's high-sounding words, Zuo Feng smiled and continued: "But before I went, everything seemed to have been finalized. In addition, the other participants knew about the competition to recruit a bride, and it seemed that I was the only one who knew nothing about it. Is this how you treat your friends?"

Hua Qi was stunned for a moment, and then said: "You also know. Although I know some, they are just rumors. If I am talking about things that I am not sure about, how can I tell you these."

Having said this, Hua Qi picked up the teacup beside him and took a slow sip. This action seems a bit artificial, but it is a common method used by people from these aristocratic families. He seems to have not finished speaking. Picking up the teacup like this seems to give himself a buffer time, but at the same time, it also allows him to smoothly move on to the next step. A topic comes up.

Sure enough, after Hua Qi put down the tea cup, he said: "There have been too many things that happened in the past two days, and my mind was a little overwhelmed for a while. It is not an exaggeration to forget some things for a while. I think Mr. Shen should You won’t blame me.”

Zuo Feng's eyes narrowed slightly, and when he heard what he said, he planned to speak. But just as he opened his mouth, Hua Qi waved his hands with a warm smile, not giving Zuo Feng a chance to speak, and continued on his own: "I think Mr. Shen is certainly not such an unreasonable person. It shouldn't be a small mistake. Besides, you destroyed the whole training platform in our training ground before, but I didn't hold you accountable for this."

This painting was talking eloquently, and by this time he had completely grasped the direction of the conversation. This is the first time Zuo Feng has encountered this kind of technique. Although Amber understands some things in this area, no one he has seen before can play it so cleanly and neatly without leaving any trace. Lead the topic in the direction you want.

After listening to what Hua Qi said, Zuo Feng couldn't continue the previous topic even if he wanted to. When he brought up that topic before, it was entirely to make Hua Qi feel wronged, and Zuo Feng would take the lead in the next conversation.

This is a bit similar to a fight between two people. In front of an opponent of equal strength, tricks and tricks are pale and powerless. The only way to take the initiative is to do everything possible.

Once you seize the initiative, you will control the rest of the battle, as if you are toying with your opponent. Not only can the opponent be eliminated with minimal losses, but it can also prevent the enemy from counterattacking before death.

The conversation between Zuo Feng and Hua Qi was friendly on the surface, but secretly everyone was competing with each other, trying to get the other party to negotiate at their own pace.

Although there were several pauses in the previous words, Hua Qi perfectly connected the several paragraphs together, making Zuo Feng unable to interrupt even if he wanted to. Now Hua Qi stopped completely and gave the right to speak to Zuo Feng again, but this time he threw the question back.

At this time, Zuo Feng continued the previous questioning, which was not only shameless, but also looked down upon. At present, the two of them still maintain a polite attitude, that is, both parties maintain a certain rule or a tacit understanding, and do not mess with each other.

If Zuo Feng is acting recklessly regardless of his face, then Hua Qi will no longer need to save face for the other party. Zuo Feng was not a fool, and naturally he would not make such a mistake.

Looking at Hua Qi with a warm smile on his face, there was a hint of pride and contempt in that smile, as if he could hear the ridicule in his heart. As a young man from the mountains, he actually wanted to play negotiation in front of a young man from an aristocratic family. He was simply asking for humiliation.

Zuo Feng just took a deep breath and said loudly: "To be honest, the problem in the training room was indeed caused by me accidentally. I admit this and also express my most sincere apology to you. "

Hua Qi's smiling face flashed with a hint of astonishment, and then the smile became even brighter and he said: "Didn't I just say that you accidentally caused damage? I didn't pay too much attention to your details before the invitation. Both of us have If there are any mistakes or omissions, just expose them.”

On the surface he looked indifferent, but in his heart he was secretly happy. Although the young man in front of him has good combat experience and knowledge, he still has little experience after all. He would make such a mistake in the negotiation. He must not miss such a free advantage, but he cannot do it too obviously. some.

With this thought in his mind, Hua Qi spoke again: "Actually, what Mr. Shen said makes some sense. I just forgot about the marriage competition and didn't tell you in advance. Speaking of which, this mistake is not a big one." . But you have to know that the price of the training platform in my training room is not comparable to that of ordinary training platforms."

As he spoke, Hua Qi's hands began to rub together unconsciously, and his face looked like that of a profiteer. Seeing his expression, Zuo Feng had every chance to interrupt, but Zuo Feng looked at him indifferently, with no intention of snatching the words away.

This scene made Amber extremely anxious. He had noticed something was wrong with the direction of the wind before. After Hua Qi used a few small tricks, all the initiative was in his hands. Zuo Feng was indeed inferior to his opponent in this aspect, but for some reason he made a stupid move in the chaos of Fang Cun. He followed the seven strokes step by step. This was completely the rhythm of falling into someone else's trap.

Even if you are not a discerning person, you should have seen that this is a critical moment. If you don't think of any solution at this time, the other party will definitely ask the lion to open his mouth.

Sure enough, while Amber was thinking, Hua Qi had already spoken. He was not prepared to give Zuo Feng any time to react. This was also a good time for him to take advantage of the victory and pursue the victory.

He stroked the armrest of the chair with his right hand, tapping it with his index finger, and said at the same time: "Actually, it's nothing, but Linshan Villa has always been one of the most mysterious places in the entire empire. If I can know even a little bit about it, Keep it secret, then nothing else matters. If the information we get is valuable, then we painters will not be stingy and will definitely give you a satisfactory return."

While Hua Qi was talking, he looked at the old man next to him. The old man didn't hesitate and took out a brocade parcel from his arms. The package was placed heavily on the coffee table at hand. It sounded like it was not light. Most of the package contained valuables such as gold cakes.

Amber didn't look happy at all when she saw this, but looked at Zuo Feng anxiously. If there were gold cakes in that package, it would probably be worth no less than 10,000 gold coins. With such a high price, what you want to obtain will definitely not be simple information, but will definitely involve extremely secretive matters.

If Zuo Feng reveals some secrets of Bieyuan, and the situation is true, then there will definitely be an uproar. Although everyone wants to know the secrets in the villa, it doesn't matter if the person who gets it is a painter. Zuo Feng who reveals it will definitely be severely punished by the empire.

If the disappearance of the leak is false, the situation will be even more dangerous, because that will give the artist an opportunity to take action directly. At that time, even if he goes too far, others will not be able to find reason. As a painter, he must have received benefits and even sold false news. It is strange that he could let the other party go.

Hua Qi calculated over and over again, but he never expected that things would develop so smoothly. In just a few words, Zuo Feng was forced into a corner. He now gave Zuo Feng two choices, but both of them were fatal. No matter how he chose Zuo Feng, he would fall into his own hands.

Just as Hua Qi's smile grew brighter and her fingers tapped faster and faster, Zuo Feng reached into his arms and slowly took out a linen package.

If you just look at the cloth of the package, I am afraid that some people will believe that it is filled with stones. But how could Zuo Feng take out a bag of stones at this time and place? But Hua Qi couldn't guess what they were for a while.

I saw Zuo Feng gently placing the package on the coffee table next to him. There was a series of crisp metal collision sounds from inside. It seemed that what Zuo Feng took out was something like a gold cake.
