Near Qingcheng Mountain.
An undeveloped remote town.
In a small restaurant, there were two plates of vegetarian dishes and a tomato and egg soup on the table. The dishes are simple to the point of being shabby. The man and woman sitting at the dining table, both in temperament and conversation, were incompatible with this simple little restaurant.
This man and woman are none other than the world-famous Ye Yuhua and Bai Wushuang.
The two of them ate simple meals and talked about ordinary things. But it caused a huge shock in Sijiu City.
"Aren't you going to go back and take a look?" Bai Wuxia took a sip of the bland soup and asked calmly.
"It won't be of any use if I go back." Ye Yuhua smiled slightly and put down the bowl and chopsticks. "It's your nephew. The water is too deep. Once you get involved, it will be difficult to escape."
Bai Wuxia shook his head slightly and said, "I can't control him."
"You can't control it. Or you don't want to care?" Ye Yuhua asked with a smile.
Bai Wuxia smiled, looked at the street outside the store, and said slowly: "I have retired. I have not contributed to the family for more than 20 years. If I take care of it now, I will always attract people's suspicion. The old man is old It's too late. No one knows how many years he can live. Let him enjoy his old age."
Ye Yuhua raised his eyes and glanced at Bai Wuxia. Smiling without saying a word.
"Don't talk about me anymore." Bai Wuxia smiled and asked. "You really don't plan to go back? This is a good opportunity for you and Huayin to mend their relationship. Yesterday Azheng called me. Let me persuade you."
"Is it just as simple as persuasion?" Ye Yuhua asked with a smile. "He didn't ask you for gossip?"
"I clicked. I didn't ask further." Bai Wuxia smiled.
"Then how do you answer him?" Ye Yuhua asked.
"He used Lao Lin's family affairs as an entry point. Of course I kept silent." Bai Wuxia said with a smile. "Speaking of it, Azheng's reaction was really fast. I only revealed Dong Zang. He just drew inferences from one example and thought a lot."
"This is our business. We don't need to let him know too much." Ye Yuhua said slowly. "He has his own problems."
"You feel sorry for him. He will not let you, the mother-in-law, ignore his affairs." Bai Wuxia smiled. "Maybe one day in the future, he will step in."
"It all depends on human effort." Ye Yuhua said with a smile.
Bai Wuxia stared at Ye Yuhua for a moment and suddenly said, "You've been smiling more recently."
"Is there any?" Ye Yuhua said noncommittally.
"Yes." Bai Wuxia nodded.
"The more you know," Ye Yuhua said meaningfully. "The less I understand him."
Bai Wuxia smiled and said, "The veil will be unveiled one day."
Ye Yuhua nodded slightly and said, "Let's eat."
…
lunch time. Xiao Zheng and Four-eyed Ma Yingjun were talking in the box. After three rounds of drinking, he received a phone call.
It's Shang Yao calling.
"Boss Xiao. Do you have time to come out and meet?" Shang Yao's moving voice came over the phone.
Transformed from a straw bag to the helm of the Yan family. Shang Yao made a gorgeous turn in front of everyone. Everyone was shocked.
But Xiao Zheng knew that Shang Yao's journey was far more difficult and dangerous than most people imagined. There was even a subtle gap between him and his father, Shang Jingtian.
"OK."
Xiao Zheng did not refuse.
Mr. Yan's real retirement and Shang Yao's succession, including the friendly message she conveyed to Xiao Zheng. Let the original hatred dissipate with the wind. Driven by huge interests, how can there be any determination to stay away from each other until death
What's more, Xiao Zheng and Shang Yao didn't have any deep hatred at all. Instead, their partnership was in a honeymoon phase for a long time. They are allies who advance and retreat together.
Now that the situation has changed drastically, Xiao Zheng has no reason to continue to shut him out. Blind arrogance and blind self-confidence may be able to accumulate so-called courage and charisma in the short term. But in the long run, it is a foolish move.
Instruct Xiao Taohong to wait at the gate. Xiao Zheng told the address and then took a nap with his eyes closed.
He was so drunk just now that he drank a bottle of Maotai by himself. His drinking capacity was far from dizzy, but his thinking was somewhat slow. This is not conducive to his talks with Shang Yao.
What business could Shang Yao have with him during such a sensitive period? Xiao Zheng vaguely guessed something.
When arriving at the agreed place, Shang Yao had already finished a cup of coffee. Seeing Xiao Zheng approaching, she stood up to greet him and said with a smile: "Mr. Xiao, long time no see, how are you doing?"
"General." Xiao Zheng shrugged. "There are so many private and official matters, I almost died in the hospital not long ago."
Seeing Xiao Zheng's honest confession, Shang Yao spoke with words of concern. On the contrary, his face looked very happy. He hurriedly greeted Xiao Zheng to take his seat.
"Miss Shang doesn't seem to have any sympathy for my experience?" After Xiao Zheng sat down, he raised his eyes and glanced at Shang Yao. There was a playful smile on her lips.
"While Mr. Xiao was hospitalized, I prayed at home more than once. I hope Mr. Xiao will recover soon." Shang Yao smiled slightly, then changed the topic and said very sincerely. "On the contrary, I really have no sympathy for the situation Mr. Xiao is facing now. On the contrary, I am very grateful to those guys who drink foreign ink. They have provided me with another opportunity to get close to Mr. Xiao and advance and retreat with Mr. Xiao. "
Shang Yao's confession made Xiao Zheng a little helpless, but he raised his eyebrows slightly: "Miss Shang's confession is unacceptable."
Shang Yao smiled slightly and suddenly said: "Last night, Miss Kalida came to visit in person and expressed her willingness to cooperate with me."
Although Xiao Zheng was not surprised, he was also greatly surprised.
This Kalida set her sights on Shang Yao so quickly
It seems that she has also contacted all the important figures in Yanjing
"She's trying to catch me all in one fell swoop." Xiao Zheng smiled without much expression on his face.
Shang Yao was not surprised. Having had more contact with Xiao Zheng, I know that he is quite capable and has a very calm mind. Don't easily express your emotions on your face. Smiling, Shang Yao continued: "This is Yanjing. It is our territory. Even if Lin Chaotian has expressed her stance, it does not mean that she can do whatever she wants. At least I sternly rejected her. And said that I will advance and retreat together with Mr. Xiao. "
When Xiao Zheng heard this, his face showed just the right amount of gratitude, but he said: "Miss Shang. You should know that the team led by Kalida has a Wall Street background. It has also received high support from the government. Openly and her It’s not a wise move to fight against it.”
Shang Yao narrowed his eyes and smiled: "A collaborator who is destined to fail. I really can't arouse any interest."
"Right now, there are probably not many people who can maintain as much trust in me as Miss Shang." Xiao Zheng said meaningfully.
"Is that worth cherishing?" Shang Yao smiled intriguingly.
"Happy cooperation?" Xiao Zheng stretched out his broad palm. Said with a smile.
"You can make Boss Xiao extend a hand of friendship." Shang Yao stretched out her hand to shake his hand. "I feel extremely honored."
