Arrive at the Huo family compound.
After Shen Yingnian announced his identity, the servant went in to make the announcement. After a while, the electronic iron gate was slowly opened and the car drove in smoothly.
Afterwards, Shen Yingnian was led to the back garden by the servant, where Mr. Huo was the only one watering the flowers leisurely.
"Mr. Huo, long time no see." Shen Yingnian greeted him familiarly.
Mr. Huo turned around and saw him, a kind smile appeared on his face, "What a rare visitor, Yingnian, why do you have time to visit my old man?"
Shen Yingnian sneered in his heart, the old man really knew how to act.
Otherwise, Yi Wude wouldn't have been deceived by this old dramatist, and would have walked in and thrown himself into the trap!
But on the surface, Shen Yingnian still smiled tacitly: "It's been a long time since I last saw you. I heard that yesterday was your birthday. Unfortunately, I was busy with something yesterday, so I can only come today to add a blessing."
Even if you say this, you will be left empty-handed.
"To put it seriously, what kind of birthday is it? It's just an ordinary birthday. I just asked some people in the family to get together." Mr. Huo put down the watering can, walked slowly under the umbrella, sat in front of the tea table, and raised his His hand gestured to the empty space opposite.
Shen Yingnian sat down directly, and then said calmly: "Isn't Mingyu not here?"
"At this point, of course he is busy with the company's affairs. Unlike my old man, who has a lot of spare time." Mr. Huo said with a smile: "Young people have to do serious work."
But Shen Yingnian heard his subtext, which seemed to be mocking him for being idle and useless.
He is really cunning and cunning, and he doesn’t even use curse words when he curses!
Knowing that he was an uninvited guest, Shen Yingnian did not have the consciousness to respect his elders, so he replied: "Brother Mingyu is always busy and has always been a role model among young entrepreneurs in Yunzhou. I can't do it anymore. When I have nothing to do, I can only butcher chickens and chop them." Dogs come to kill time. I just killed a mad dog last night, which was much more interesting than doing business. "
Mr. Huo's action of making tea suddenly stopped, but the corner of his eye twitched.
Two pieces of information can be drawn from Shen Yingnian’s words:
First, Xiao Chen was indeed cold.
Second, Huo Mingyu, who has everything to do every day, is worse than a chicken or a dog!
When did this dandy boy become so sharp-tongued and talk like a bitch? It hurts my heart!
Mr. Huo had a high position and had never been humiliated by a junior like this in front of his face. He was so angry that he wanted to fall out, but he thought that he was a decent person, so he had to be dignified if he wanted to drive someone away.
So he continued to make tea without saying a word, preparing to "serve tea to see the guests off", which is always a decent way to drive people away.
However, Young Master Shen has never been a decent person. Seeing that this old guy was pretending to be deaf and dumb, he said directly: "Mr. Huo, are you still going to continue to deal with me?"
Mr. Huo's brows twitched and he said in a neutral tone: "Young Master Shen, do you have any misunderstandings about us, or do you have delusions of being persecuted? Our two families are not in conflict with each other, so why should we deal with you? "
"With your words, I feel relieved. It must be someone outside who is spreading rumors and trying to sow discord between our two families." Shen Yingnian smiled and said, regardless of Mr. Huo's cold face, he added: "Actually, outside now There are indeed some rumors. For example, in order to help Xiao Chen, your Huo family is going against me. I have never believed it. The Huo family has a clean family tradition. You and Huo Mingyu are both upright people who are well-known in Yunzhou. How is this possible? You're complicit in that kind of criminal scum."
At this time, Mr. Huo could no longer remain silent. After all, Xiao Chen was likely to be convicted. In view of the close relationship between the Huo family and Xiao Chen, once the matter spread, it would definitely cause damage to the reputation of the Huo family!
"Actually, we are not very familiar with Xiao Chen." Mr. Huo said cautiously: "You also know that Xiao Chen is a practitioner of Feng Shui. Our family asked him for advice before, so we went back and forth several times. Other than that, It has nothing to do with it, so I don’t know much about his character, style and personal issues.”
Young Master Shen thought to himself that he was refreshing and refined in how he swung the pot, but Mr. Huo swung the pot in a graceful and moving way, astonishingly packaging himself into a pure and flawless old white lotus!
I really don’t want Bilian!
However, Shen Yingnian had expected that the old man would renounce his relationship with Xiao Chen, so he followed his words and said, "That's right, Mr. Huo is a highly respected man, how could he collude with such a dirty thing!"
"Yes, they are all rumors. You don't need to take them seriously, Mr. Shen." Mr. Huo sneered secretly.
Little one, you're still too young to play tricks with me!
"Okay, the misunderstanding is resolved, let me get down to business." Shen Yingnian said: "I will hold a banquet in two days to announce a major business plan, and I would like to invite Mingyu to come and participate."
"Okay, I will tell Mingyu." Mr. Huo said without thinking.
Of course he could see that Shen Yingnian was a weasel giving New Year greetings to a chicken with no good intentions.
But it doesn't matter, Huo Mingyu can just find any excuse to refuse.
It's a pity that Young Master Shen's next words directly blocked his escape route...
"Mingyu must come. I have already told my friends outside that he will be an important guest at the banquet." Shen Yingnian said seriously: "Mainly, I also want to take this opportunity to dispel the rumors so that people outside will not I always feel that Mingyu and I are at odds with each other, and I also feel that he is really Xiao Chen’s ally, and that Xiao Chen is really bad!”
Mr. Huo was actually pouring tea. When he heard this, the tea actually overflowed.
His arms and face tensed.
After a while, he turned his head, stared deeply at Young Master Shen's pretty face, and almost squeezed out a few words through his teeth: "Okay, very good, I will definitely let Mingyu attend on time."
"That's good. For the sake of the friendship between our two families and Mingyu's reputation, that's what it should be." Shen Yingnian chuckled, picked up the overflowing teacup, and drank it all in one gulp.
"Mr. Huo, you don't need to bring tea or give it away." Young Master Shen wiped his lips and walked away calmly as if he didn't recognize his relatives.
But before he was lucky, he heard a crash from behind, and something broke...
…
People are gone and the tea is getting cold.
The tea cup Shen Yingnian had just used was also broken.
Looking at the torn teacup, Mr. Huo's face turned livid and he said angrily: "Despicable little thief! Shameless and immoral!"
Huo Mingyu, who had been hiding in the dark, hurried over, supported his grandfather, and said: "Grandpa, calm down, you don't have to be like this scum."
But Mr. Huo was still angry: "I have been a leader in Yunzhou for most of my life, and now I am kicked in the face by this little guy! Fortunately, he is still a member of the Shen family, and he doesn't even have the dignity of a wealthy family!"
"Grandpa, what did that kid say?" Huo Mingyu asked in confusion.
"He asked you to attend his banquet the day after tomorrow." Mr. Huo said angrily: "I don't know what kind of medicine he sells in his gourd, but if you don't attend, depending on his intention, he will spread rumors everywhere that you and Xiao Chen is an accomplice, slandering your reputation! "
Huo Mingyu was stunned, and his heart felt a lot colder.
Shen Yingnian's move seemed disgraceful, but it was a decent way to coerce him into submission!
Although there is no technical content in spreading rumors, I am afraid that after Xiao Chen's disaster, he leaked information about the Huo family.
After all, the previous exchanges, especially on the matter of Feng Shui advice, let Xiao Chen know too many secrets about Huo Mingyu and even the Huo family!
If Shen Yingnian really got hold of Huo Mingyu, then even if this banquet was the Hongmen Banquet, Huo Mingyu would have to bite the bullet and go!
