Xia Shao smiled but did not raise her head. She lingered in Xu Tianyin's arms, unwilling to leave. When she was rarely vulnerable or dependent, Xu Tianyin held her dearly, suddenly feeling that this mission was an eyesore. If there is no mission, he can take her home and give her a good hug.
However, he knew her. She went to see the Japanese envoy tonight. Although she didn't say anything, she must have a plan. He needs to watch over these people for her tonight. And she should have something to do.
I have to say that Xu Tianyin really understands Xia Shao. As expected, she only stayed in his arms for a moment, and then her eyes were replaced by deep worry.
The catastrophe of her senior brother was unknown at some point, and after what happened to her family, she couldn't let anything happen to her senior brother again! Moreover, she had a hunch that her senior brother's calamity would be related to Xiao Yi. After all, if Xiao Yiruo died, she really couldn't think of anyone else who could make her senior brother go through the catastrophe.
Therefore, Xiao Yi must die! Anyone who stops her must be prepared to risk their lives! When things have reached this point, the Jiang family must be destroyed first.
The reason why Xia Shao wanted to deal with Jiang Xi first was not because of the political situation, but because Jiang Xi had a connection with Xiao Yi. Only when the Jiang family is defeated can Jiang Shan find Xiao Yi. She was waiting for that moment - to kill Xiao Yi!
"I still have things to do tonight, senior brother here is watching." Xia Shao let go of Xu Tianyin and took a deep look at him. Although she knew he would be fine tonight, she still said, "Be careful."
Xu Tianyin's answer was to hug her back, hug her tighter, and pat her back again to comfort her. He felt that her emotions had not calmed down yet and she was still worried.
Xia Shao smiled, feeling warm in her heart. She looked up and met the man's dark eyes. She chuckled and said, "You seem stupid."
Xia Shao's voice was not loud, but Xu Tianyin listened attentively. Just when he was slightly startled, Xia Shao raised her head and kissed his chin. Before the man's eyes darkened, she slipped away with a smile and waved from afar. Xu Tianyin stood still until Xia Shao's smiling face disappeared, then he touched his chin, silently walked to the door where the Japanese envoys stayed, and stood up.
Guard.
…
Since Xia Shao moved out of the dormitory of Beijing University, she lives in Huayuan Private Club on weekdays and only goes to Xu Tianyin's place on weekends. But tonight, she did not go back to the club, but went directly to the villa.
Outside the villa, someone was already waiting.
Xu Yanshao got out of the car and smiled brightly in the golden light at the door of the villa. He could not see the impatience of waiting for a long time. "Haha, Xiao Shao is back?"
He has been waiting here for more than an hour. Xia Shao asked him to come to the villa to meet and discuss something tonight. This was really an unexpected surprise for Xu Yanshao. Not to mention impatient, he was almost in tears. Ever since the couple provoked Xia Shao and suffered the nightmare, although they were later resolved, Xia Shao has always been lukewarm towards the two of them. Even though she was engaged to Xu Tianyin at this time and was legitimately the unmarried granddaughter-in-law of the Xu family, she never called him uncle. She hasn't recognized them as husband and wife yet. No matter how much good looks he makes, he still doesn't know how to get her recognition. This girl seems to have a good temper, but in fact she is too principled. If she offends her, it will be difficult to deal with it.
Tonight, she took the initiative to ask him out. Xu Yanshao almost wanted to cry, so excited that he wanted to cry. After he came out of Beijing University, he received a call from Xia Shao. He didn't even return home and drove over directly. Xu Tianyin had a mission and would not come back tonight. Xia Shao hadn't arrived yet. Xu Yanshao didn't have the key to the villa, so he waited in the yard, but it didn't feel like it took long.
Although Xia Shao didn't like Xu Yanshao's family, she still had some basic etiquette. She parked the car casually in the yard without driving to the garage, so she got out of the car, opened the door, and invited Xu Yanshao, who had been waiting for a long time, into the living room. , made tea by myself.
Xu Yanshao accepted it with a smile, and didn't ask why Xia Shao kept him waiting for so long. He didn't want to find trouble, he just wanted to know what important matter she had to discuss with him tonight. He waited outside for more than an hour, thinking about this.
Unexpectedly, Xia Shao apologized first, "Commissioner Xu, I'm really sorry. On my way back, I went to the National Hotel where foreign guests stay, so it took some time to go back and forth."
Xu Yanshao was surprised that Xia Shao would apologize to him. After hearing the second half of the sentence, he spit out the tea he just drank! But immediately, he knew that he had taken a sip of tea too early. Xia Shao expressed it concisely and tactfully. She went to the foreign guest room, chatted with the ambassador about her life ideals and the political situation, and finally returned home satisfied.
The words were very concise and tactful. Xu Yanshao was shocked and frightened when he heard them.
He didn't want to say that it was the residence of foreign guests. Not to mention Xia Shao, a businessman, even he, a committee member, would not dare to enter at will. Even if he was invited by the other party, he would not dare to meet the foreign guests in private without telling his superiors.
He didn't want to say what the consequences would be for Xia Shao and even the Xu family if something happened tonight.
Xu Yanshao's eyes were just a little out of the window, and his eyes were a little complicated. He had known Xia Shao's abilities for a long time, so these worries were not a problem. Any tactics are worthless in the face of absolute force. This is what she made their family understand. Tonight, this truth is used to crush others again. Just think about it and you will know how frightened the Japanese ambassador was. As long as this person was not him, Xu Yanshao actually wanted to laugh after the shock. This fright has only happened to their family, but this time it was someone else's turn. Thinking about it makes me feel comfortable.
But after you feel comfortable, there's still business to talk about. Xu Yanshao's high position certainly relies not only on the Xu family. His ability to stay in the political situation for many years also relies on his own control and acumen in officialdom. It was this sensitivity that made him shocked to understand what an extraordinary thing she had done tonight after listening to Xia Shao's words.
If this move is successful, the dispute between the two factions will come to an end.
Xu Yanshao didn't want to say that the people in power had different political views. Once he was confirmed, what would happen to the people's livelihood, the national economy, the military and even the international status for at least ten years? He only used the Xu family as an example. The Xu family's status now transcends the factions, and that's because the old man is still there. However, the old man is getting old after all. To put it bluntly, after a hundred years, will the Xu family still be so detached? Can the status of the Xu family be so stable
Just look at the Wang family. Once Mr. Wang left, three generations of the Wang family were ineffective. When they met Wang Zhuo, who would never join the army or politics, the family looked glorious on the outside, but it was already empty on the inside. Even if Xia Shao hadn't taken action to overthrow the Wang family, it would have been a general trend for the Wang family to go downhill and gradually decline.
The original Mr. Wang also contributed to the founding of the country, and so did Mr. Xu. The situation of the Wang family is almost the future of the Xu family.
To say so may be a bit exaggerated. In the eyes of the outside world, the overthrow of the Wang family was because three generations of the Wang family were incompetent, but the Xu family's situation was different. Two brothers, Xu Tianyin and Xu Tianzhe, one is in the army and the other is in politics. They are both young and promising, talents of the Republic! Even if Mr. Xu is gone one day, the Xu family will never be the next Wang family. Xu Yanshao could only shake his head and sigh. Few people could see through it. The problem was that the three generations of the Xu family were too outstanding.
There is a popular saying among the people that wealth cannot last more than three generations. In fact, this saying is also commonly used in official circles, and power only lasts for three generations. Three generations, at least, will make a family last a hundred years. A family that will survive for a hundred years is truly a wealthy family. In the business world, there may be wealthy families to speak of, but in the officialdom, how can those in power allow wealthy families to exist
This is no longer the old feudal emperor era, but the principles in officialdom are actually the same throughout the ages. The more powerful a family is, the greater its control and influence in a certain field will be. This kind of influence is what those in power are afraid of.
The old man has always restrained family members and did not allow the Xu family to participate in factional fights, precisely in the hope of minimizing the Xu family's interference in the political situation. In this way, the superiors will not be too afraid. This is actually a kind of protection for the Xu family.
In fact, Xu Yanshao has always understood this good intention, so he has always followed the old man's arrangements in matters of factional fighting. But seeing the old man getting older, Xu Yanshao knew that, in addition to his own low profile, the fact that the Xu family has been able to survive these years is also an important reason why the old man is still around. Regardless of whether the superiors are afraid of the Xu family or not, you must treat the old man respectfully, and you cannot touch the old man even if it is just to show off.
If you mess with the founding fathers, you will have a bad reputation, and you will always end up with a bad reputation. The people in the country still respect the elders of the first generation very much. The people at the top have only been in office for ten years, so of course they dare not use this matter to cause public outrage.
But if the old man is gone and the Xu family has less to rely on, no matter how low-key it is, it will be difficult to stay aloof from political struggles. Without the old man, who would allow the Xu family to stay out of the matter? However, the official position of the second generation of the Xu family is high enough, and the third generation is so outstanding, their authority will inevitably be limited. If the next generation of the Xu family is still so good and joins the army or politics, their official position and power will be even lower, worse than that of the third generation. As each generation goes by, it will gradually decline. Of course, it can also be assumed that the fourth generation of the Xu family is a dandy and incompetent, so there is no need to deliberately restrict it from above, but the Xu family's own destiny has been exhausted.
But... Xu Yanshao looked at Xia Shao, then thought about Xu Tianyin, and couldn't help but smile bitterly. No matter how you think about it, you feel that the children of these two people, the fourth generation of the Xu family, cannot be incompetent. It's hard to say whether Xu Tianyin's temperament will educate his children, but Xia Shao... If the two of them have a child in the future, it would be great if the child is half as capable as his parents. Moreover, his own son is also excellent. For such an outstanding and filial child, it is unlikely that the next generation will be useless.
Xu Yanshao is not an ambitious person. He knows how much he weighs and doesn't want to worry about things that will last forever. But as long as he lives, he will still pave the way for his children to ensure their safety. .
Since we want to protect it, we have to do something. It's just that with his ability, he has to do the same thing as in officialdom, plan slowly and carefully. He had never dared to think of Xia Shao going directly to the Japanese envoys and settling the matter openly. Even if you dare to think about it, you can't do it. Xia Shao was able to do what he did tonight, did he also see clearly the hidden worries behind the Xu family's beauty? Is this why she took action tonight
Xu Yanshao really guessed wrong. Xia Shao dealt with the Jiang family just to lure Xiao Yi out. As for the future of the Xu family, she could see through it, but she was not as worried as he was.
As the old saying goes, children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. Xia Shao only believes in one truth, that is, as much ability as you have, you can eat as much rice as you want. The future of the next generation of the Xu family is up to them to decide on their own. You have the ability and want to bury them? That depends on how capable the enemy is! Without ability, even if they pave a golden road, they will still fall.
Xia Shao never had any intention of paving the way for the next generation. She got where she is today through her own efforts. The next generation of the Xu family must fight for the blue sky above their heads, so that their journey in this world will be worthwhile.
Xu Yanshao's worries are shared by most parents in the world. Although Xia Shao disagrees, she understands the painstaking efforts of being a parent. She had no intention of discussing educational concepts and parenting mentality with Xu Yanshao. She invited him here tonight for only one purpose, which was to let him say hello to the Qin family and let the Qin family cooperate with the Japanese to put on a good show!
Xia Shao didn't go to the Qin family directly because she didn't have the time. Except for Qin Hanlin, she was not familiar with the rest of the Qin family. It would take too much time for her to find the Qin family. The Qin family didn't know her well, so if she told them what happened tonight, they would be full of questions. Xu Yanshao was different. He had seen what he was capable of and was familiar with the Qin family. If he went to talk, it would save her a lot of talking and time.
Of course Xu Yanshao is willing to do this. If this happens, the Xu family will not have to worry about it in the next ten years.
Before leaving, Xu Yanshao took a deep look at Xia Shao. At first, the old man wanted Tianyin to support the Xu family in the future, but he was a little dissatisfied. After all, he is an uncle. In the future, his status in the family will not be as good as that of his juniors, and he will not be able to justify it in terms of face. Moreover, Tianyin's temperament is also what worries him. It's not that he doesn't have enough experience in the world, but that he doesn't live in the world at all. With such a temperament, after the old man passes away, he will offend others. With this temper, it is not enough to cause trouble for the Xu family, how can he lead the Xu family through the crisis
But now, Xu Yanshao began to understand the old man's consideration of cultivating Xia Shao to become the mistress of the Xu family. In terms of conduct, courage, planning and determination, his wife Hua Fang cannot support the Xu family. Although Xia Shao is young, to be honest, he can't do what she can do! It’s just Tianyin’s temperament…
well!
Xu Yanshao sighed and went out. No matter what worries you have in your heart, the most important thing is to do the business at hand.
Xia Shao sent people to the door, watched Xu Yanshao's car drive out, lowered his eyes, and returned to the house.
Xu Yanshao still doesn't understand. For someone who cares about family affection like Xu Tianyin, how can he not understand human affection? It's a pity that the dedication he silently devoted to his relatives was not worth the survival of the Xu family's interests. The day Xu Yanshao's family couldn't understand him, the day she refused to recognize them.
But, things still have to be done.
Xia Shao walked into the bedroom and opened the window. The cold wind blew, but it was not as cool as the coolness in her eyes. There are still two days left in the Japanese mission's itinerary. In two days, everything will be settled!
The 25th is not over yet, Merry Christmas everyone!
There are banquets everywhere tonight, those who go out to sing karaoke, those who go shopping, and those who stay at home and dare not move express their bitterness. Recently, I can't keep my eyes open during the day and night, and everything I eat doesn't taste good. I feel like I'm suffering.
Fortunately, I have signed the Christmas card for Nai, and Fengyun will send it out, it should be by regular mail. The girl who asked for the card in the first place, remember to check the mailbox after a while.
