As soon as everyone left, Xiao Zheng summoned the waiter very easily, ordered a large table full of dishes, and ordered two bottles of Maotai, muttering: "Miss Shang, you invited me over, just to be cannon fodder for you?" "
Shang Yao smiled slightly when he heard this and said: "Boss Xiao is serious. I am determined to cooperate with you. But my father asked me to abandon you and switch to Bai Wushuang's arms. Isn't this detrimental to you?"
Xiao Zheng laughed dumbly, pursed his lips and said, "You and your father really had a falling out?"
"It's not like we have a falling out. It's just that we have different ideas and each have their own opinions." Shang Yao said while avoiding the important.
When Xiao Zheng heard this, he was basically sure that the Shang father and his daughter had broken up more than the Lin family's father and daughter.
Lin Chaotian's break with Lin Huayin seemed serious. But it was just because of Xiao Zheng. One person's opinion of another person may not change throughout his life, but it may also change overnight. Although Xiao Zheng didn't expect Old Yao Lin to change his mind about him. But just ignore yourself and focus on Lin Huayin. There may not be a day of reunion.
On the other hand, the merchant father and daughter. But conflicts and contradictions arise because of interests. Profit is definitely the driving force behind social development, but it is also a weapon that can destroy the world. Never mind a world war or a broken family. Most of them are motivated by interests. Even if there are conflicts between husband and wife, more than half of them involve interests.
So from these aspects, the relationship between Shang Yao and Shang Jingtian is already in pieces and vulnerable.
Xiao Zheng felt a little guilty, but he also firmly believed that the main reason why the two parties were in such trouble was definitely their own conflict of interests. Rather than Xiao Zheng's intervention.
Let Xiao Zheng believe that Shang Yao went against his father for his own sake and was facing huge interests. He doesn’t believe in ghosts either…
After chatting for a while, the two drank Maotai and ate delicious food. The atmosphere was quite harmonious.
"Mr. Xiao, you seem to be in a bad mood." Shang Yao keenly caught the subtle changes in Xiao Zheng's face. He raised his glass. "You want to make me happy?"
Xiao Zheng helplessly clinked glasses with him and joked: "Miss Shang, you are really evil. You base your own happiness on the pain of others."
Shang Yao smiled and said, "Is it serious?"
Xiao Zheng drank a glass of Maotai and said slowly: "It's very serious." After a brief pause, he gave Shang Yao a meaningful look. "Perhaps your father's decision was not wrong. Crossing the river by feeling for stones with me is more practical than picking up leaks."
When Shang Yao heard what Xiao Zheng said, his face sank slightly, he put down his wine glass and said: "Boss Xiao. Are you insulting me?"
"Huh?" Xiao Zheng was slightly startled and asked curiously. "What's wrong?"
"Do you think I cooperate with you just to make a small profit?" Shang Yao asked.
"I didn't think so." Xiao Zheng smiled bitterly and shook his head.
He had known Shang Yao's ambition for a long time.
Compared with Sophia's hasty rise to power, compared with Prince Ling Lainei's circumstances. Shang Yao's struggle was more spontaneous and there was no external stimulus. It can even be said that the first two are more or less helpless. But Shang Yao is a real strong woman, a woman with extremely strong ambitions.
How could she be satisfied with a little profit? What she wants is probably to stand out from the crowd with the attitude of a winner!
This is probably the main reason why she disdains cooperation with Bai Wushuang.
"In that case. Then please Mr. Xiao, please pay attention to your wording in the future." Shang Yao changed the topic and gradually became gentle.
Xiao Zheng smiled bitterly and said: "You women really turn your back on others. It's much faster than flipping through a book."
"It seems that Mr. Xiao understands this deeply." Shang Yao said with a meaningful smile.
Xiao Zheng hurriedly stopped the topic, took a sip of Maotai and said: "There must be a reason why your father did this. It's a pity that he can't tell me."
"Of course you won't tell me." Shang Yao smiled bitterly.
Before she took over the Yan family, before she obeyed Shang Jingtian's advice. Perhaps Shang Jingtian will give her some guidance and reveal some rumors.
But now - he won't tell Shang Yao anything. It is even more impossible to give her guidance.
After the meal, Xiao Zheng finished a bottle of Moutai, and Shang Yao also drank most of it. Her pretty face was flushed, and she was indescribably charming. Xiao Zheng put down his bowls and chopsticks, stood up and said, "Thank you, Miss Shang, for your hospitality. I have to go to work later, so I'll leave first."
"Do you want to leave after eating and drinking?" Shang Yao said with a smile.
Xiao Zheng smiled and said, "Is it possible that Miss Shang wants to peel off my skin?"
"Just keep the skin to fight the enemy." Shang Yao smiled. "Mr. Xiao is under a lot of pressure right now. I can help you reduce your burden."
"What kind of subtraction?" Xiao Zheng raised his eyebrows and became interested.
"Do you still remember when I told you that the older generation has forces from all directions?" Shang Yao said meaningfully.
"I can't forget it." Xiao Zheng nodded.
"Grandpa refused to say anything at first. Maybe he is willing to reveal something now?" Shang Yao said with a smile. "Come with me for a walk?"
Xiao Zheng smiled slightly and said, "That's exactly what I meant."
…
I have come to Yan's house many times and never encountered anything good. He even offended the entire Yan family. He felt a little embarrassed when he came here with Shang Yao this time.
"Don't be nervous." Shang Yao saw Xiao Zheng's thoughts and smiled. "My grandfather is not that stingy. And he thinks very highly of you. Now that you and I are in alliance, he won't think anything of you."
Xiao Zheng smiled and said: "If something goes wrong, I have to ask Miss Shang to cooperate."
When Shang Yao heard this, he smiled calmly: "Any time."
Entering the hall, Xiao Zheng bumped into Yan Hong, who had lived in the Yan family for a long time. The latter has irresolvable resentment with Xiao Zheng. He just nodded lightly and did not communicate.
After thinking about this, Xiao Zheng sighed in his heart. this is the truth. For the sake of profit, even if it means cutting off his son's arm, or even indirectly killing his son's enemy, he can turn the hostility into friendship.
In the face of interests, who can maintain their true intentions and remain uncompromising
Xiao Zheng firmly believed that Lao Lin must be one of them.
After passing through the narrow path, the two of them arrived at the attic where Yan Shichang was training. As soon as he entered the house, Xiao Zheng smelled the strong aroma of tea.
"Excellent Dahongpao." Xiao Zheng praised.
"Know the goods." Yan Shichang's hearty voice came from the study. But it seemed that there was no misunderstanding with Xiao Zheng. He raised his glass. "Want a bite?"
"Thanks."
Xiao Zheng took the teacup, smelled it once, tasted it twice and tasted it three times. Changshuang said: "Good tea."
"Eight-nine times out of ten life will be unsatisfactory, a sip of fragrant tea will relieve a thousand worries." Yan Shichang took a sip of Dahongpao with a smile and said with a smile. "Boss Xiao, I'm very happy that you can come and see me, an old man."
When Xiao Zheng heard this, he looked at Yan Shichang and smiled: "It is my honor, Xiao Zheng, to be able to drink the tea brewed by you, old man."
Shang Yao on the side was a little disgusted and curled his lips and said: "Not long ago, you tried every possible means to kill each other. Even if you want to show that you are broad-minded, you can't be so disgusting, right?"
