In other words, after Mo Shaoqing learned that Ling Senhao was the president of the Claire Group, the mysterious Claire Group behind him also surfaced.
In the previous life, Mo Shaoqing was very curious about this behemoth. Is there any way to solve the problem faster than asking the person in power
On this day, Mo Shaoqing went to Ling Senhao's office at Clare Group headquarters, but was told by the secretary that he was in a meeting.
This is the first time for Mo Shaoqing to come here, and the overall design style is similar to that of City Y, except that it is a little bigger, simple and bright, and there is not even a little extra greenery.
The key is that from the floor-to-ceiling windows here you can overlook the company where you worked in the previous life—huddled in a corner of this CBD, only then did he realize how small he was in the previous life.
Mo Shaoqing wandered around, and finally took a fancy to Ling Senhao's boss chair, walked over boldly, and sat down gently.
Mo Shaoqing made up his mind that no one would come in casually, so he lifted his feet off the ground, turned around a few times, and finally stopped right in front of him.
It turns out that this is where Mr. Ling works every day.
It is not an exaggeration to say that the Clare Group can be said to be the top hotel group in the world, so how much pressure will the person sitting in this position have to bear
Mo Shaoqing sighed: So, this is the reason why an ordinary person like him cannot become the heir to the business empire... First of all, the psychological endurance is not enough!
Who is GA Lawrence? Mr. Ling? So Mr. Ling's surname is Lawrence? This is an ancient and long-standing surname in Country B!
This reminded Mo Shaoqing of the outside world's speculation about the family behind the Clare Group, could it be...
There is a photo wall behind the desk. There are some award-winning photos on the wall, and there is a larger one, which is a photo of three people. Mo Shaoqing walked over to take a look.
In the photo, there is an old man with white hair in a suit and leather shoes, with a beard and a cane, sitting on a stool. Beside him is a middle-aged man who also has a beard. The two have the same high nose bridge and blue eyes, just like a mold. It was engraved, and Ling Senhao on the side seemed to be a different kind. His appearance had exotic flavors and Chinese styles. He looked at the camera indifferently, but exuded a strong and cold aura. The three of them looked serious and serious, with an inexplicable sense of coordination.
Mo Shaoqing has always been curious about Ling Senhao's family, and this photo can be said to be a glimpse of it.
"What are you looking at?" Ling Senhao pushed open the door of the office, and saw someone with his butt pouted, just studying the wall, his eyes darkened.
Mo Shaoqing was still immersed in his own guesses, and he didn't notice the change in his eyes at all, so he asked: "I'm looking at the photo, is your family in the photo? I always heard rumors that your family is a The nobles of Country B, are they real or not?"
Mo Shaoqing turned around and looked at Ling Senhao with great interest.
Ling Senhao walked up to him, looked at the photos on the wall, and showed some nostalgic expressions: "Yes, my family is indeed a nobleman, but it is already lonely, after all, the royal family of B is not involved in politics now, let alone Don't mention our families who guard the royal family. The stories in the family can't be finished for a few days, I can only tell you briefly that my grandfather was a duke with a fief."
"Duke!!!" Mo Shaoqing exclaimed. He looked at the photos on the wall and guessed that the old man should be the Duke.
However, if this is the case: "Your family will not be passed down for three generations?"
Ling Senhao didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "What? Why did you say that suddenly?"
"I just feel like I don't know anything about you and your family. I don't know your full name, I don't know your family members..." At this moment, Mo Shaoqing suddenly felt a little bit of resignation as Mrs. Ling, and felt a little guilty. His tone also dropped.
Ling Senhao stepped forward and hugged his lover, "What are you thinking about, I can tell you anything you want to know, and my family has a lot of people."
Seeing his disbelief still on his face, Ling Senhao was surprised: "Where did you see that my family has a single pass? Well, even if it is a single pass, can you give me a big fat boy?" , Ling Senhao touched Mo Shaoqing's stomach suggestively.
Then, he leaned into Mo Shaoqing's ear and said, "And I've worked so hard these days, maybe I'll get it?"
"What nonsense are you talking about, don't touch it!" Mo Shaoqing became angry from embarrassment.
"Okay, okay—" Ling Senhao comforted Mo Shaoqing in a good-tempered manner.
"What's your full name?"
"Gavin Ansair Lawrence."
"It's so long!" Mo Shaoqing was distressed, "What should I call you?"
"You can call me Ans in the future, of course I'll be happier if you call me husband!"
"Speak seriously! Continue—" Mo Shaoqing's ears turned red, and he cursed with a smile.
"Then your Chinese name is..."
"It's my mother's last name, and she gave it to me."
...
The two asked and answered, Ling Senhao was afraid that Mo Shaoqing would be thirsty, so he poured him a glass of water.
"Come on, drink some water, be careful!"
"Then these two are your father and your grandfather?" Mo Shaoqing took a sip of the water and continued to ask.
For some reason, Ling Senhao wanted to laugh a little. If the elder brother knew that his sister-in-law recognized him as his father, he didn't know how he would feel: "Ahem," Ling Senhao concealed the smile on his lips, "Actually not , This is actually my eldest brother, he is older than me, this is my father, as for my grandfather...he is already eighty years old, so this photo was not taken."
"What! This is...then the age difference between you and your brother is too much!" Mo Shaoqing and Mo Shaohong are also eight years apart, but the difference in appearance is not that big!
Moreover, he actually recognized Mr. Ling's elder brother as his father, and regarded them as three generations of grandparents... What kind of eyes did he have! No wonder Mr. Ling had such a strange expression just now!
Ling Senhao immediately comforted him: "It's not your fault, in fact, my elder brother is 12 years older than me! He looks like my father, so he looks like an ordinary B countryman, so... well, he looks a little old."
Ling Senhao: I'm sorry, big brother, it's also your fault that my daughter-in-law recognizes you wrong!
Mo Shaoqing asked again: "Then why are there no women in your family? What about your sisters? Where's your mother? Why isn't it in this photo?"
"Yes, there must be!"
With an expression of disbelief on Mo Shaoqing's face, by the way, he made up a hundred-episode "Secret of an Ancient Family Without a Girl for a Hundred Years".
Ling Senhao: "This photo is not what you think. It's not a family photo but a group photo. All family managers must take photos. My grandfather, my father, my brother and me. It's not accurate. After all, I The grandfather is not the founder of the group. The real founder of the group is my father.”
"Therefore, my mother is not on it. As for women... I have a sister who is five years older."
Mo Shaoqing nodded, expressing his acceptance of this statement: "Your mother is from Huaxia, how did she and your father know each other? They can still get together!" After all, in that era, a Chinese woman could still It's unbelievable to marry an aristocrat from country B, and Mr. Ling's mother is really amazing!
"Do you remember what I told you? My parents have experienced the hardships of love to be together, so they will only bless us and will not oppose us."
"Of course I remember." At that time, Mo Shaoqing was still thinking that even if Mr. Ling's father was enlightened, his mother, as an old Chinese lady, might not be able to accept her son being with another man!
"When my father became an adult, he came to Asia alone to open up new markets. He met my mother in S City. The two of them made a private decision on the island and gave birth to my brother. My grandfather didn't agree at first, but later Compromised."
"Compromise? Why?"
"Because he is a political marriage, and my grandmother is a member of the royal family of country K. Not long after the two got married, a war that lasted for many years began in O state. The two countries had a bad relationship, and the relationship between the two was not close It gradually deteriorated, and after the divorce, my grandmother took my aunt away and returned to country K." Ling Senhao signaled Mo Shaoqing, look, I have a lot of family members, not what you think at all.
"It may be that his married life was not happy, so he didn't break up my parents. Later, they kept starting a business. After giving birth to my sister, they didn't plan to have children because of their busy work, so it was a surprise to me."
"My parents know the value of love, so they won't separate us..." Ling Senhao shook Mo Shaoqing's hand, as if to comfort him.
"Does your grandfather know about us? After all, our situation is different from that of your parents..." Facing a noble old man who was over eighty years old, Mo Shaoqing was still a little uneasy.
"He will agree. As long as he sees you, he will definitely like you. You don't have to worry about children. My elder brother already has a son. He will be eighteen this year. You will definitely like it... Er..." Mo Shaoqing suddenly thought , Arthur seems to be about the same age as Shaoqing!
"What will happen?" Mo Shaoqing asked.
"I'll be glad to have such a nephew." Ling Senhao was lucky to be back. "In short, when you see them, they will definitely like you, so when will you go to country B to meet my parents?"
This is the real purpose of Mr. Ling!
Wanting to see her parents again, Mo Shaoqing immediately counseled: "Let's pass the test of my parents first!"
"OK!" Ling Senhao agreed. Seeing that Mo Shaoqing was still immersed in the topic of his parents and couldn't get interested, he changed the subject.
"Do you know where my home is in country B?"
"Of course it's a castle. Isn't your family a nobleman?" Mo Shaoqing was really attracted, and replied without thinking.
Ling Senhao didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Of course not. My family does have a manor, but it doesn't reach the level of a castle. The royal family lives in the castle!"
"The manor? Is that big? Is it in the capital?"
"It's very big, but it's not in the capital, it's in another city. I'll take you to see it then."
Mo Shaoqing turned into a curious baby, "Then what is the relationship between your family and the royal family? Why do you want to guard the royal family?"
Ling Senhao explained in a short way: "This is only in name. In fact, although my family is only aristocratic, the current King and my grandfather are cousins. So my family is still different from ordinary nobles. "
"The surname Lawrence has a history of hundreds of years, and the royal family has changed in several dynasties, but the Lawrence family has always existed. It can be said that our family is one of the oldest families in country B, and its bloodlines are even more noble than the royal family." Ling Senhao spoke lightly. , but Mo Shaoqing could still hear the silent pride.
Mo Shaoqing listened with great interest: "You are so powerful, you don't look like a lonely family at all, then you will own a lot of property in the future!"
"No, according to the "B Country Noble Inheritance Law", as the youngest son, I have no inheritance rights, including my sister, who is also a married daughter. After the eldest brother inherits the title, I will move out of the family manor..."
Mo Shaoqing couldn't believe it: "How could this happen! Do you have nothing?"
"Yeah, these belong to the elder brother." Ling Senhao said so, but he didn't think so in his heart. Although it is true according to the law, let's not say that the grandfather has not passed away, and the title will be passed on to his father. Brother, at least thirty years, thirty years is enough for him to prepare everything. And not accepting property also means that there is no need to pay a large amount of inheritance tax.
"What about the company? Doesn't the company give it to you?" Mo Shaoqing was anxious and wanted to ask clearly.
"Perhaps, this is also family property. After all, the eldest brother has children! The company can be handed over to him to take over. I just manage the company, and the real decision-maker is also my eldest brother." Although after quitting the company, he still owns most of the property. Shares and objective annual dividends. But Mo Shaoqing would not know this.
A nameless anger suddenly rose in his heart, and he felt unworthy of Ling Senhao's contribution to the company: "But you have done so much for the company, you work so hard every day from morning to night..."
"No way, that's how the law is." Ling Senhao pretended to hug Mo Shaoqing, "Will you not want me? After all, I will be a pauper in the future!"
"of course not!"
"That's good." Ling Senhao leaned on Mo Shaoqing's shoulder, closed his eyes contentedly, and enjoyed the satisfaction of this moment.
As long as Mo Shaoqing thinks of Mr. Ling being kicked out of the company and the manor, his heart will be sour. Even looking at him, the eyes unconsciously turned into "poor child".
No! His man can't live like this! Even if everything is gone, Mr. Ling still has himself! This made Mo Shaoqing more determined to expand Mo's private kitchen.
As the sun goes down, the lovers embrace each other, and the years are quiet.
