Second Master Bai was more calm than Huo Xiao and the others thought. On the fifth day after Gu Tingyun left, Second Master Bai contacted Huo Xiao.
Huo Xiao was not surprised that this person would come to him.
But what made him even more unexpected was that this time Erye Bai brought another person with him on the date - Zhu Xiuping.
None of them expected Zhu Xiuping to come back.
Compared to her previous glorious appearance, this time she secretly changed her name, assumed someone else's identity, and came here pretending to be an ordinary low-class peasant woman.
Of course, none of this is very important.
Mr. Bai was hosting a banquet for Huo Xiao in his house. Seeing Huo Xiao's expression, he smiled meaningfully and said, "Why, you didn't expect that?"
Huo Xiao shrugged and didn't take it very seriously. He said, "It turns out that Miss Zhu is here, but whether Miss Zhu is there or not has nothing to do with me."
His expression was indifferent: "It can't even be called a surprise."
He didn't have much contact with Zhu Xiuping, and he could only say that he had met her a few times. In fact, Zhu Xiuping also seduced him. It's just that he has never been interested in women.
He is even less interested in women like Zhu Xiuping.
He smiled and said, "So? You came to me this time just to show me Miss Zhu? I thought we were discussing business."
Seeing Huo Xiao's expression, Mr. Bai had doubts in his heart. According to what Zhu Xiuping said, Huo Xiao was the boss of Zhaoyang Trading Company. Seeing Zhu Xiuping, the former outcast, appear here, he shouldn't be acting like this.
At the very least, he should have been touched a little bit, but he wasn't now.
Not only was there no such thing, but the expression was completely disapproving of him for bringing an outsider into the game.
Could it be that... Zhu Xiuping lied
As his thoughts swirled, he said, "Actually, Xiuping is also my niece."
As soon as he said this, Huo Xiao sneered.
These days it’s really a bitch, men and women have to pull a fig leaf.
His smile angered Zhu Xiuping, and Zhu Xiuping said: "Mr. Huo, why do you pretend to be like this? In fact, we are old acquaintances, right? I have done so many things for you, even the commander-in-chief Help you find out the news. Are you going to treat me like this in the end?"
Huo Xiao looked at Zhu Xiuping with a strange look in his eyes. He said slowly: "I'm talking about Zhu Xiuping. Are you... a fool?"
Zhu Xiuping was startled and snorted: "What are you pretending to be here now?"
Huo Xiao really didn't know what Zhu Xiuping said, but Monk Zhang Er couldn't understand what she said, which made people feel strange.
But I remembered what Gu Tingyun said before. He said... The second shopkeeper of Zhaoyang Trading Company is someone who has business dealings with the Huo family.
He glanced at Zhu Xiuping, wondering if she also felt that Zhaoyang Trading Company was related to him because of this incident
It's really a big joke in the world.
He said: "I don't want to talk to a brainless stupid woman like you, get out of here."
Zhu Xiuping's face turned red with anger. No matter how ungraceful a man she had met, she would never say such a thing.
This is really lame.
She looked at Huo Xiao coldly.
But Huo Xiao was not moved at all.
"I already know that you are the boss of Zhaoyang Trading Company. Stop pretending."
She had a "I've already exposed you" expression, full of pride.
However, Huo Xiao's laughter became even louder. He looked at Zhu Xiuping and said, "If you have something wrong, go to the hospital and have a look. I think, hey, it's just right. Go find that Yue Jiawen, he's not Is he Gu Tingyun's brother? Go find him and give him a good look."
Speaking of this, I want to laugh even more.
"Stop pretending. When I was with my second boss, did you think I didn't know anything?"
Huo Xiao ignored her at all and turned to look at Mr. Bai.
He said seriously: "Mr. Bai, if you come to me today just to listen to this crazy woman's nonsense, then I don't think we have anything worth talking about."
He smiled coldly and said: "Suppose I were the boss of Zhaoyang Trading Company. Do I need to join forces with you? I can directly run the bank in my family. I can't afford to sit here and cooperate with you like this. Do you deserve to watch this crazy woman talk nonsense? You'd better be smarter when doing things, otherwise being deceived by a fool will only make people question whether you are a good partner."
He stood up: "I want you to communicate with your good niece to find out whether she has a brain disease or your IQ is insufficient."
"Wait a minute." Mr. Bai looked at Huo Xiao and said, "Since we are here to discuss business today, we are here to discuss business. Come, please ask Miss Zhu to rest in the guest room."
Zhu Xiuping refused to leave, she said: "I will not make a mistake, I will definitely not make a mistake. Back then I saw the second shopkeeper calling the Huo family's business in Peking."
Huo Xiao said nothing, crossed his legs and sneered.
He didn't need to say more.
Mr. Bai Er said: "Take someone down here."
Zhu Xiuping was quickly pulled down.
Mr. Bai smiled and said, "I made you laugh just now. In fact, I am not as crazy as she is."
"It's okay if you have doubts. After all, we are not on the same road in the first place, so it is normal to be cautious. But with all due respect. Second Master, whether you do things or listen to others, you should carefully consider the possibilities."
Mr. Bai smiled and poured him a cup of tea himself, which was regarded as an apology.
He said: "Then let's discuss it."
Zhu Xiuping came all the way to find him, hoping to become one with him. If this person is useful, he will naturally have no problem.
When Zhu Xiuping accused Huo Xiao of being the boss of Zhaoyang Trading Company, Mr. Bai was also very shocked.
If Huo Xiao really is, then the meaning of it will be different.
It was precisely because of this that he did not deal with the goods in his hands when Gu Tingyun left.
Instead, I waited and waited for a few days. Of course, it’s also about thinking about what to do next.
But now that he had an appointment with Huo Xiao, he suddenly thought of something. This is exactly what Huo Xiao said just now. If Huo Xiao is the boss of Zhaoyang Trading Company, he can definitely become a master. He doesn't have to cooperate with himself.
This makes no sense at all.
"I also believe in her too much." Mr. Bai smiled: "After all, she was also my niece at first."
Huo Xiao smiled meaningfully, and what Mr. Bai said was thoughtful. But if he really regards Zhu Xiuping as one of his own, he won't sleep with her, right
He knew very well that Zhu Xiuping's old friends were all over the world, and sometimes even small things could be solved with money. Zhu Xiuping decided to use her own body to do it. This seems to have become her habit. Or maybe she likes this kind of happiness and looks for it in all kinds of people.
The relationship between Zhu Xiuping and Mr. Bai is not clean.
It's not just Second Master Bai, but also Fourth Master Liu, and even Master Qi Ba and... Huo Ziqi.
These Hongmen people, those who were brothers to her father, were not necessarily really kind.
He sneered and said: "It doesn't mean anything when we talk about her, why don't we talk about business?"
He added: "Second Master has never dared to take action on the goods this time. Now that I have decided to sell them out this time, how do I plan to do it this way?"
Mr. Bai looked at Huo Xiao with a scheming look.
He said calmly: "What do you think, Master Xiao? Since we are partners, I always want to listen to your opinion."
Huo Xiao cursed the old fox in his heart.
But he was very calm: "You must not get involved in Hongmen's business. It would be inconvenient if Gu Tingyun knew about it. He is like a mad dog, and he can't get rid of it if he is contaminated. It would be better Go about my business. Even if my business is for the Huo family, Gu Tingyun doesn't dare to mess around. But there is another problem. I have only been in Shanghai for about two years and my foundation is not deep. Even if I have some power, it is always limited. Only I’m afraid I may not be able to handle it perfectly.”
He pondered and said: "Of course, I will do my best, after all, it is to make money. But since we are partners, let me tell the truth, it is better to find another person."
This is a very appropriate thing to say, even Mr. Bai couldn't say anything bad about it.
Mr. Bai actually had the same plan in mind, but he wanted to hear Huo Xiao's opinion.
Huo Xiao said this, which made him feel relieved.
If Huo Xiao said that his place could eat all the goods, he would have to doubt the possibility of this matter.
He said: "Actually, I have a candidate. I just don't know if it is suitable. There is always some hesitation."
Huo Xiao raised his head and said, "Second Master, it doesn't matter if you say so."
Mr. Bai fell silent.
Huo Xiao knew that he had many ideas, so he paused and said, "Actually, I also have a candidate. How about we write it down together and see who we like?"
Mr. Bai smiled and said yes.
He said: "You are quite interesting."
Huo Xiao sneered again, lit a cigarette, stood up and came to the table to play with Mr. Bai's pen and ink.
Second Master Bai frowned slightly, thinking that he was indeed a ruffian with no rules.
So what if you enter the Huo family, it's not like this.
No rules at all!
Without saying anything else, he took out a pen. When he finished writing, he saw that Huo Xiao had balled up the paper.
He raised his hand and threw it over, and Mr. Bai cursed again in his heart.
But no matter how much you scold me, you don't show off on the surface. He circled the folded paper and threw it to Huo Xiao.
Huo Xiao opened the note and there was one word written on it.
He was silent for a moment, raised his head and asked, "What is this word?"
At the same time, Mr. Bai also opened the ball of paper. There were no words in the ball of paper, just a few random scratches with a red pen.
Both of them stared at each other's paper eyes, expressing that they didn't understand.
Huo Xiao snorted, took another puff of cigarette, and put the cigarette in a cup on the table.
Mr. Bai could pinch a fly between his brows, and he forced himself to endure this cowardly behavior.
"What does this mean? I agreed to write down my name."
Huo Xiao leaned on the chair and spread his hands: "Can't you see? It's red, Mr. Hong."
He smiled self-deprecatingly: "After I sat down, I remembered that I couldn't write Hong characters."
Mr. Bai: "..."
This is enough!
He finally understood why this person was choosing between pen holders. It turned out that I was looking for a red pen, but thanks to Mr. Hong’s surname, Hong, if his surname was Huang. He can't do it yet!
He smiled and said, "So it's him."
"Where's yours? What's the word?"
He sneered, lit a match and burned the paper: "What did you write?"
Mr. Bai tried his best to remain calm and not to be confused by this illiterate person: "What a coincidence, it's also Hong."
After a pause, he said: "We heroes think alike."
Huo Xiao stood up: "Since we have the same opinion, let's do it. But you'd better deal with that lunatic in your family. If it breaks, it will be bad."
Mr. Bai smiled: "Okay."
