Ye Shuang drank tea quietly, and listened to the old man nagging about Zhuo Yuanhang for a long time, but still didn't understand what the other party wanted to express.
After finally waiting for the old man to finish speaking, Ye Shuang had already finished eating the plate of snacks in front of him. The old man withdrew his sigh and looked into the distance. He was stunned when he saw the empty plate on the table, and then he raised his head and asked, "What do you think, Xiao Ye?"
What do you think? ! It's normal to nag when you're older.
Ye Shuang smiled nonchalantly: "Children and grandchildren have their own blessings."
The old man was silent for a moment, waved his hand and let Ye Shuang go out again.
After the door was closed, a small door in the study room opened. The old lady came out and rubbed the old man's shoulders, and asked with a cheerful smile, "Did you come out?"
The old man laughed and shook his head: "No."
Zhuo Yuanhang and Zhuo Feiyang's personalities are almost two extremes, one is harsh to himself and others to the point of being mean, and the other is just having fun all day long. It can't be said that he is indulgent, but he is not motivated at all.
It's rare that both sons have a good opinion of Ye Shuang, so the old man naturally needs to think more about it.
It wasn't long before Zhuo Feiyang was almost brought out of his gambling addiction. When the old man first heard about it, he was afraid for a while, and was so angry that he almost broke Zhuo Feiyang's dog legs. If this happened, abolishing a young son would be like digging out the heart of an old couple, and even the family would be in turmoil... The old man has a lot of knowledge, and there are few examples of his family being ruined because of his gambling addiction? !
Because of this, the old man is grateful to Ye Shuang. But in addition to gratitude, there is also cautious doubt.
How could this young man be saved by such a coincidence? How could it be such a coincidence that the other party could recognize the person who wanted to trick Zhuo Feiyang? Another point that the old man was more concerned about was that Zhuo Feiyang and You Yang said that Ye Shuang himself knew a lot about gambling.
The gambling skills are superb. I am very familiar with casinos, and I also know the fbi...
After hearing the word fbi, the old man's first reaction was that the young man was bragging. Of course, it is not impossible to say that there are such powerful young people, but he was afraid that this was a bigger trick. So in order to verify my own ideas. The old man has always wanted to meet Ye Shuang in person.
"After all, a young man is eager for success. If he really has any plans, I will definitely get something out of him by looking at him differently." The old man pulled his wife to sit on Ye Shuang's position just now, and sighed: "To show that I am If it is different to him, it is either to say something important, or to say something private. Otherwise, it seems not intimate enough... I deliberately pulled the young man to talk for a long time, wondering how he would answer me. "
Of course you can't say important things, even if it's for testing, it's a bit of a loss to lure wolves with buns.
When we met for the first time, I talked about private things, although I seemed a bit old-fashioned. But at most it's a loss of face, no matter how bad it is, it's nothing more than being laughed at behind the back, and the old man doesn't need to worry about this at his age.
"If he wants to curry favor with our family, he should follow my words to persuade him. If he is wary, he will also change the subject or come up with a more watertight answer." The old man laughed when he said this: "But I still think too much after all, this kid is not any reaction I thought at all."
It was purely perfunctory, not only did he not understand what he meant by what he said. And he didn't seem to realize that he should add a few words... Ye Shuang obviously breathed a sigh of relief, "It's finally finished, can we go?", clearly expressing that he has no interest in the old man's topic.
The old lady was also amused by the old man's frustrated look. The old man seemed to be waiting for someone to make a move, but he didn't say anything at all, and he didn't even see the ring that the old man set up. He glanced at the empty plate on the table, and the old lady covered her mouth with a smile: "Me too The first time I saw a child coming over as a guest, I really emptied the refreshments."
When the old man was reminded by the old lady, he also remembered his dim sum. A plate of mung bean cakes, coconut cakes and candied fruit, taro dates... Thinking that my high blood sugar is restricted and I only have such a plate of servings a day, the old man stomped his heart and regretted it: "What a brat! Bai Chang is so handsome .Even the old man’s rations are not spared!!”
…
Ye Shuang was caught by Zhuo Feiyang when she went downstairs, who was also curious about the reason why the old man summoned Ye Shuang. Can't wait to ask: "What did my dad tell you to go up?"
Ye Shuang thought about it: "I didn't seem to say anything, I just complained about my offspring."
"Unfilial?!" Zhuo Feiyang's eyes widened in surprise: "Where is my brother and I being unfilial?"
"... is unworthy, which means that you are not like him, and you have not inherited his good character of being sincere, hardworking, motivated and kind to others." One is too capable but not popular, and the other is too popular but not very capable.
Ye Shuang sighed: "I don't know why the old man specially asked me to go over and talk about these things. Maybe he thinks talking to you is too boring? Old people are easy to be lonely. You and your brother can often go to accompany the old man when they have nothing to do."
Zhuo Feiyang also felt guilty after hearing this, his own father was reduced to chatting with other people's children, how lonely it must be.
So Zhuo Feiyang went to find his elder brother again under great pressure, because Zhuo Feiyang firmly believed that he still had a lot of time with the old man. If he wanted to say that the old man missed his son, he would definitely miss the one who was not by his side often.
Zhuo Yuanhang was actually very filial, anyway, he didn't have to work when dinner was about to start, so he left a bunch of guests behind and went to the second floor with his younger brother to entertain relatives in Caiyi.
The old man was feeling sorry for his tea, and suddenly saw two sons come up, one asked and answered with him as if he was on an important business, and the other smiled obsequiously as if he was ten years old.
Something abnormal is a demon... What kind of demon did these two sons have today? !
The old man was sweating coldly, pretending to be calm, while the old lady next to him smiled happily, leaving the old man who was winking frequently, and went down to greet the guests.
Old man: I have been an old husband and wife for so many years, how can I bear to see death and not save you!
Old lady: The masters of the whole family have gone to the study on the second floor, what does it look like if you don't go down to say hello!
Abandoning her wife with peace of mind, the old lady went down to greet the guests. After all, she has been the hostess for many years. Although she has already half-retired with the old man, everyone gave her face, and the old lady is mature and experienced, so after some pleasantries. It still didn't let the following stand cold because of the loss of the owner.
In view of the old man's previous temptations, the old lady was quite interested in Ye Shuang, so she walked around the living room, and when she found Ye Shuang's position, he was holding a wine glass and listening to the people next to him with a slight smile on his face.
I don't know when Ye Shuang has melted into the family. The guests invited by Zhuo's family are all famous people in Chaohai City. In addition, this small party is a family type, and everyone has met a lot before, so it is natural to chat, but if outsiders want to join such a small circle, the difficulty is relatively high. After all, everyone has a very natural and simple idea. We are our own people and acquaintances, and you are an outsider...
But Ye Shuang was an exception. The old lady could tell that the young people around Ye Shuang were not just entertaining in a polite manner, but were really having a lively chat with each other.
Why does the young man have such ability? The old lady understood a little bit how her wife felt when she wanted to test her.
The old lady walked in that direction while socializing with the people around her. When she got close, she heard Ye Shuang say, "It's better to rent a yacht. It's okay for Mr. Zhuo to have a private pier. But if we want to buy it ourselves, it won't be worth it." Well, the fixed expenses are a lot of money, not to mention licenses and marina fees. Cleaning, repairs, maintenance and hiring are a lot of money, and unless you go out to sea a lot, it’s not worth it once or twice a year.”
A young man sighed: "It would be nice to have Young Master Zhuo's wealth, how face-saving it is to have a cruise party every year."
Ye Shuang smiled: "Master Zhuo will always take you with me when I play? We can just be guests, so we can play with more peace of mind."
"That's true..." Another young man said excitedly, "Hey, have you heard? It seems that the xx star will also be invited on board this time."
Ye Shuang took a sip of champagne and said, "The xx you are talking about? She probably has no time. I heard from my friend that she is raising a baby, and she dare not come out for two months now. It will be exposed by some big news. This gossip comes out, I guess it is the invitation letter from Young Master Zhuo...'Invitation from a luxury cruise ship. Can't make the trip due to pregnancy' or something."
"Wow! You know this too?!"
At this time, the old lady appeared behind everyone, smiling and asking kindly: "Have you had a good chat here?!"
A group of young people hurriedly greeted each other with smiles, "Old Madam Zhuo", "Auntie" and "Auntie" called each other, and then the old lady waved her hand to say that she was here to look for Ye Shuang, and the others made fun of it and then dispersed open.
"Xiao Ye is really not simple, you seem to know a lot of things?" The old lady listened for a while just now, and found that the rhythm of the conversation was basically controlled by Ye Shuang. No matter what other people started, he could always pick up the words quickly and accurately.
What's more rare is that Ye Shuang knows enough is enough, shut up after speaking her own words, and hand over the opportunity to speak... In this way, basically everyone can speak, and there will be no embarrassment of being left out, and with At the same time, it also cultivated a kind of subconsciousness for everyone. After speaking, they always subconsciously listen to Ye Shuang's next sentence.
After coming and going, this small circle naturally formed a communication phenomenon centered on Ye Shuang. Although everyone didn't notice it, in their subconscious and others' eyes, Ye Shuang was already the leader of the circle.
Ye Shuang smiled, put down the wine glass, and naturally the gentleman helped the old lady's arm, and said politely as she walked back to the center, "It's just that I usually have mixed interests and a wide range of subjects. But if it's proficient, of course it's not as good as other professionals."
The old lady fought with Mr. Zhuo when she was young. Of course, she is not an ordinary woman who only knows how to cook and wash clothes. Hearing this, the smile deepens: "Then Xiaoye has been chatting with everyone down there for so long, do you have any thoughts?"
Ye Shuang thought about it: "I don't have any impressions, but I think Mrs. Zhuo and Mrs. Zhuo are the same as Mrs. Zhuo, and they are indeed her husband's good helpers."
The old lady looked at Mrs. Zhuo, who greeted the employees of Sihai Group generously not far away, nodded and shook her head, and sighed: "The daughter-in-law here was brought up according to the standards of the mistress of the family, and there has never been any mistakes in general, but A little less popular. We didn’t feel anything when Yuan Hang married her, but later we found out that when such two people get together, it’s a complete vicious circle.”
Come to complain again? !
Ye Shuang looked at the old lady suspiciously. Suddenly found that the Zhuo family was too familiar.
Leaving aside the younger generation, Mr. Zhuo and Mrs. Zhuo alone are very weird. They met for the first time, and they didn't have any friendship before, even if they gave your youngest son a hand. But it doesn't mean that you should take your heart and soul out of yourself just because of such an incident, right
Ye Shuang thought for a while, since she couldn't figure out the reason, she might as well stop thinking about it. Anyway, it doesn't do me any harm, maybe that's the way people are.
The old lady didn't hear Ye Shuang who was beside her, but she didn't want to save face as much as her old man, so she simply pestered and continued to ask: "What do Xiaoye think of our Zhuo family's Four Seas Group?"
"..." Ye Shuang couldn't laugh or cry. Reluctantly said to the old lady: "Madam, if you want to ask anything, just ask directly. You and the old man talked too roundly. I'm afraid I won't be able to answer the point. It will neither make you happy nor waste everyone's time."
The old lady nodded: "Then I'll ask directly, who do you think is the traitor of the Four Seas Group?" After finishing speaking, she paused. Seeing Ye Shuang's pensive expression, he couldn't help thinking.
The insider talk is a question that bothers the old man and the old lady the most. There are so many hotels under the name of the Four Seas Group, plus other industry investments and foreign travel routes, so many fragmentary and seemingly irrelevant departments have to be integrated. It is really not something that ordinary people can do.
Even a person with a high position is at most only responsible for the affairs managed under this position. If you want to be able to clearly find out the person in charge of other industry chains under the name of Sihai Group, and have enough ability to make the other party fall in love, you really have to have a certain amount of weight by Zhuo Yuanhang's side.
For example, the first one. The materials and personal files of those who have been recruited are not things that anyone can get in their hands casually.
It is conceivable how much crisis such a heavy traitor can bring to the Four Seas Group. But apart from this point, the old couple of the Zhuo family may be deliberately provoking... If any one of the list of six selected by Zhuo Yuanhang is moved, it will inevitably bring a lot of shock to the Four Seas Group.
"To be honest, old lady, don't think I'm deliberately provoking anything. Anyone may have a different heart, and many people don't want to stay under others all the time. But everyone is a businessman. I also know which choice will be more beneficial to me. After thinking for a while, Ye Shuang helped the old lady to circle around the corner. The voice was low and slowly said: "I saw those few people at the party today, two ambitious smart people, one ambitious fool, one unambitious loyal minister, and one opportunistic speculator..." Among the six people One person was not present, and I heard that he was sick and resting at home.
The old lady thought for a while: "Who is that speculator?"
"I won't say who he is, lest you think I'm sowing discord. I can only tell you that the man left and called twice, as if he was discussing business with others. Apart from your Four Seas Group, he also funded the Another hotel chain was established in Chaohai City..." Ye Shuang smiled: "It's not a bad thing to say, but it's just a multi-party investment at both ends of the ship. After all, the Four Seas Group belongs to your family, not his family. The meaning of the portal is not something incomprehensible."
Although the old lady doesn't care about the group's affairs, she still heard a lot of news when she was playing cards and shopping with her old sisters. After comparing a newly emerging chain brand in Chaohai City, she immediately understood which hotel Ye Shuang was talking about .
She had whispered to the old man at the beginning, and felt that the management and construction of this hotel were very similar to her own. It seemed that many ways, such as attracting customers and publicity, were somewhat familiar... I didn't know what was going on at first, but now I understand it after hearing it. Someone wants to separate.
"It's normal to want to fly when the wings are hard." The old lady sighed, and patted Ye Shuang's hand a little more sincerely. No matter who the child is, the news is still beneficial to my family: "You have sensitive ears, and you heard people calling?"
Ye Shuang smiled and said nothing, how could she tell the old lady that the call was made outside the gate of the villa? ! Besides, the key information was said by the person on the other side of the phone, and the person answering the phone here only responded briefly. Even if ordinary people hear such words as "um", "okay" and "understood", it is impossible for them to know what's wrong .
So the other party wasn't careless, but rather unlucky, otherwise he wouldn't have met an alien with abnormal hearing like Ye Shuang.
Ye Shuang saw that the old lady was not in a good mood, and helped her around a few more times: "It's normal to set up your own family. If you have capital, no one wants to work for others for a lifetime. They also have children and families... But the old lady Don't worry, I don't think the traitor should be that person. At least he is still relying on the connections of the Four Seas Group, and he is leaning against a big tree to enjoy the shade. He will not be so stupid as to dig you up before he builds the house. .”
It's hard to judge who the traitor is. After all, Ye Shuang doesn't have much information on hand, and in a short period of time, she can't take care of everyone. After getting on the cruise ship, Zhuo Feiyang and Xihua Group's people came up to cooperate, so that the real black hand could be found out in one fell swoop.
After Ye Shuang took the old lady around for a few times, the old lady still couldn't find out the details of Ye Shuang, so she could only go back with emotion.
