Chapter 156: The old fox (3)

Views:

Devore Everth's sudden change in attitude was too surprising. Except for Gu Yan and Yan Suizhi, the others couldn't recover at all, and the one with the most dazed expression was Qiao.

He opened his mouth and froze for a long time, but he couldn't find a suitable word for a long time.

By the time Joe finally came to his senses, Devore Everth had already stepped out of the terrace and was instructing his assistant to do something.

"Wait!" He took a step.

Devo Eves stopped at the head of the stairs, glanced at him, and continued to the assistant: "—cut off the video in the office, not accepting any meeting invitations for two hours, no need to start any new Contingency plan, you can deal with the specific situation, and report it later. In addition, let them prepare some afternoon teas for several guests, and two of them will be sent to my office. "

The assistant nodded, not wanting to be caught between the father and son's Shura field at all, and turned around after taking the task.

Only then did Devore Evers turn to Joe, his gray-blue eyes were very shallow, and whoever looked at them would always make people nervous, as if they were being scrutinized.

He glanced at Joe's face and said, "Don't slam the door and leave? What do you want to say?"

Joe took a deep breath and tried his best to hold back the complicated emotions that he couldn't express, "What you said before was wrong."

"Which one?"

"You said that you won't get any benefit from telling me. You have everything I have, and you can't fill you in with any new information, so you have no reason to tell me." Joe said, "This sentence makes me sad. I I didn't know why it was uncomfortable just now, but now I understand... You're in business, and you've been weighing what I said with a transactional mindset, considering my requests, and then making a decision with a business mindset."

Devore Everth looked at him. "That's true, but what's the problem? I'm a businessman."

"But I am your son."

Joe gritted his teeth and let go, saying, "I'm your son, not your business partner, nor your negotiating opponent."

This time DeVore Everth didn't answer right away.

He just looked at Joe quietly, and after a while said, "Really? But from the moment you entered the door, you spoke with the demeanor and tone of a negotiator with a plan to ask for investment."

"I didn't!" Joe retorted subconsciously.

But after refuting, he found that he could not find any evidence to prove this statement.

From entering the door, to sitting down on the terrace, to all the words he said after the formal opening... In retrospect, he was indeed more like a person who came to ask for cooperation than a son.

Joe froze for a while, then lowered his eyes slowly, "I didn't, I didn't mean to. I told Eunice, I didn't intend to anger you. I... I'm just used to it, and I can't change it for a while."

He spread out his hands and scratched the hair on the back of his head. Mingming was full of words, but he was at a loss, and he didn't know how to pour it out.

"I... When I saw the handwriting comparison results in the wine city, I was actually very happy. I was very happy." Joe said, "But the more happy I am, the more uneasy I am, for fear that I will make a mistake in this part. I am here today. , I just wanted to hear you say something..."

As long as there is a firm sentence that says, "Those things that touch people's lives have nothing to do with me, I am on your side", and it will be satisfied.

But Joe's throat was a little tight, and he suddenly stopped talking, and he didn't know how to continue. He could only drop his hand in silence and look at Devore Everth, who he always called the old fox. Father.

He's so smart that even if he doesn't finish speaking, he can definitely hear it.

Devore Evers looked at Joe for a long time, then nodded suddenly, "Okay, I'll give you a word."

Joe's eyes lit up, waiting for the words without blinking.

He saw Devo Ewes's lips move, and he said helplessly, "Why did I give birth to such a fool as you?"

When he had finished, Mr. Ewes walked away without looking back.

Joe: "… "

"What are you stunned for?" Gu Yan patted him on the shoulder when he passed by, "He already gave you that sentence."

"I know."

Joe said.

Of course he knew that when the old fox said that, it meant that he had given him the most certain answer.

Devore Everth was already standing at the door of the office and opened the door with his fingerprints.

Qiao looked at the other side, and suddenly felt that he was standing again more than 20 years ago, standing at the starting point of all misunderstandings, and after a flash of time, he said, "...Dad, I'm sorry."

Devo Eves paused with his hand pushing the door and looked back.

"I'm sorry," Joe said.

This is probably the most obvious moment of the old fox's emotional expression. He looks like he wants to say something. But in the end, he just looked back, invited Gu Yan and Yan Suizhi into the office, then held the door and calmly said to Qiao: "I only intend to have a detailed talk with these two young children, no matter how much you call Dad, you won't be able to change my mind. ."

After saying that, he closed the door expressionlessly.

Joe: "… "

A few minutes later, the waiter arranged by the assistant knocked on the door of Eunice's suite with afternoon tea. At first glance, it was a cup of coffee and a refreshment, and Ke Jin's was a glass of mixed fresh juice.

Joe took the cup that the waiter offered him, took a sip unsuspectingly, and turned green all over.

He grinned and looked at his cup, "What is this?!"

The waiter said politely, "Bitter gourd and parsley, Mr. Evers."

The waiter had no contact with Qiao, and didn't know Qiao's taboo on addressing him, so he subconsciously called him by his last name.

And Qiao was just stunned for a moment, and then continued to ask with a green face: "I'm most afraid of these two things, what kind of hatred do you have with me?"

Waiter: "It was your father who just dialed the inside line, sir."

Joe: "???"

Eunice burst out laughing, folded her arms and turned her face away.

Young Master Qiao looked at the waiter and her blankly, and couldn't help but say, "Did he remember what I'm most afraid of eating and just wait for this day?"

As he spoke, he turned to Ke Jin for help, and wanted to borrow his juice to drink slowly.

As a result, Ke Jin just glanced at him slowly. He probably thought Joe was urging him not to have any leftovers, so he drank everything while holding the glass, not leaving him a drop.

Joe: "… "

Eunice and Laura both collapsed on the sofa laughing.

To the outside world, this should be the worst day for the Everth family.

But in fact, they are in a good mood.

Maybe better than ever.

Inside Devore Everth's office.

The strong aroma of the freshly brewed coffee smelt, Eves took a sip from the cup in front of him, and said to Yan Suizhi and Gu Yan, "It's really bad to have such a stupid son, but luckily he's really lucky to make friends. "

"Thank you." Gu Yan said.

"But I'm still curious—" Eves still didn't take out what he knew immediately, but looked at the two young people in front of him with some playfulness and asked, "Why do you think I want to keep you?"

"Because of what you said before." Yan Suizhi put his elbows on the armrest and held the coffee cup relaxedly.

"Really? Which sentence?"

"You all know what we have found, and you have all the information we have, but this time the Manson family entered the medical field with such an attitude and you didn't care, which shows that you have a lot of things in your hands." Yan Sui Zhi smiled and said, "These information must not have been obtained overnight, but you have done very little for so many years. I think... It should not be just waiting for some good time."

Devore Everth looked at the heat of the coffee cup and blew twice, "It's interesting, so what am I waiting for?"

"Key evidence." Yan Suizhi added, "Of course, I'm studying the Fa, so my thinking may be limited."

"It's still very interesting, so how do you think this key evidence is found?" DeVore Everth asked again.

"At the moment, you think this key evidence is on me." Yan Suizhi said with a smile, "So, I cooperated and stayed."

Devo Evers finally raised his eyes, he stared at Yan Suizhi's face for a long time, and said: "Actually, look closely, you still have two old friends in your facial features... Of course, maybe mine Psychological effects, after all you should have done more than one genetic modification."

He turned his head to look at Gu Yan, stretched out his hand to compare with Yan Suizhi: "Why don't you introduce me again, Gu Yan."

Gu Yan glanced at Yan Suizhi and said solemnly to Devo Eves: "The title of intern is indeed a bit abrupt, this is my teacher, the former dean of Metz University Law School, Yan Suizhi. "

Yan Suizhi raised an eyebrow and glanced at him.

In the past, an "intern" opened his mouth, and a "intern" closed his mouth and shouted without changing his face, but now it began to be abrupt, and he didn't know who to go with his nonsense ability.

"Yan Suizhi..." Devo Evey thought about the name again and said, "It didn't follow your parents' surname."

"It's my grandmother who died young." Yan Suizhi said.

Devo Eveth gave a soft "ah" and shook his head again: "Those two friends did protect their family information too strictly, otherwise I might have known you earlier."

He seemed to have suddenly fallen into some memories, was silent for a moment, and then suddenly chuckled: "You may not know, I had a serious illness before, and my health was not very good for many years. Your parents said that if one day I am old or in poor health and leave, and Eunice and Joe are not strong enough to bear the burden, I hope your parents can take care of me. Similarly, if... "

Devo Eves didn't finish talking about the latter, but stopped for a moment and said, "But I'm ashamed, I didn't take care of it in time."

Yan Suizhi turned the coffee cup in his hand, thought for a while and said, "I asked Mr. Mervyn Bai to save me... is that you?"

"That's right," said DeVore Everth.

"That's very timely." Yan Suizhi said, "After all, I am alive, and I am alive and well."

The look Devo Evers cast at him became deep again, and after a while he shook his head and laughed, "It's really a family. When I see those two friends in the future, I will definitely remember to tell them that their son is a long-term child. Well done, it doesn't disappoint at all."
