Leave Wu Kun's house and get in the car.
"Tingsheng, you go to my house for dinner at noon tomorrow, my grandpa knows you're back." Fang Yuqing said suddenly.
"Ah? Didn't you tell your grandpa?" Xu Tingsheng called out.
"That old witch Fang Cheng told grandpa."
"... What will happen if you don't go?"
"It will be very troublesome, my grandfather has a bad temper." Fang Yuqing said.
…
…
The next day, Xu Tingsheng walked into the Fang's house carrying a small bag of tea leaves fried by his mother Xu, and met the old man of the Fang family, a former provincial official, Fang Guohou.
While eating, the old man didn't say anything. To be precise, the entire table was silent from beginning to end, including the bold Fang Cheng and Fang Yuqing.
After dinner, Xu Tingsheng obediently followed the old man into the study.
Fang Yuqing wanted to follow in, but the old man waved him away.
A full four hours passed.
Fang Yuqing waited impatiently, and asked Fang Cheng, "Why did Grandpa find Tingsheng?"
Fang Cheng said, "How do I know?"
Fang Yuqing said: "No...you don't want him to marry you, do you?"
Fang Cheng was stunned for a moment, then said: "That's fine too, who is not sleeping? If you marry Xu Tingsheng, you might have a chance to sleep with Apple. If he plays with me, I'll play with Apple... I'll go, think about it, I'll do it." I’m so excited, no, I have to ask Grandpa, and that’s it.”
Fang Yuqing said with a bitter face: "Fang Cheng, can you not harm my brother?"
"Then why don't you let your brother harm me?" Fang Cheng said angrily.
"Who? Tingsheng?"
"It's not him, it's Tan Yao."
"Tan Yao, what happened to him?"
"He stole my woman."
"... I have observed and tested him several times, and he seems to like you."
"...I heard that Ye Qing seems to like him."
The two of them got off topic completely while chatting, until Xu Tingsheng bowed and exited the study. Then, someone helped Mr. Fang back to the bedroom. The old man seemed to be in a bad mood.
Fang Cheng rushed up and grabbed Xu Tingsheng by the collar, "You, are you mad at my grandpa?"
Xu Tingsheng ignored him, stretched out his hand to Fang Yuqing, signaled him to shake hands, then shook hands and said: "Congratulations, Zhicheng Real Estate, Fang Yuqing, Fang Boss. There is one more thing, your grandfather asked me to tell you, so that you have time Bring Yu Qing back to meet him, and let him talk to your parents."
Fang Yuqing was completely confused, and asked hesitantly, "Grandpa said?"
Xu Tingsheng nodded, "Grandpa said it."
Before Fang Yuqing came back to his senses, Fang Cheng jumped up and pushed Xu Tingsheng, saying, "Don't take advantage of our siblings." After a while, he asked again, "Did Grandpa mention me?"
Xu Tingsheng thought for a while and said, "No, with your status, you are not qualified to appear in our summit talk."
"I don't believe it," Fang Cheng said, "Did grandpa ask you to marry me?"
Xu Tingsheng looked at her shameless face, knew what she was thinking, and said sarcastically, "I mentioned it a bit, but I answered him, I'm not crazy, I'm not stupid, how could I do such a thing? The old man also knows about me." Tell the truth, don’t force it.”
Fang Cheng was about to have a seizure, and Fang Yuqing, who came to his senses, grabbed Xu Tingsheng, "How is it possible? I can't figure it out. How could Grandpa agree to this? Why did he just tell you? Did he tell you?" Anything else?"
Xu Tingsheng said, "Nothing else."
In fact, of course there are other things, but he can't say it, especially Fang Yuqing.
Xu Tingsheng had imagined the content and process of this conversation before, but what he didn't expect was that Mr. Fang would be so frank. The conversation between the two was actually a deal, the Fang family gave Xu Ting a favor, and then asked him to do something.
Xu Tingsheng's previous conjecture was confirmed.
He didn't refuse the old man's request to him, because that was what he was willing to do. Fang Yuqing was his brother, and Fang Cheng was also a friend. As for other people and other matters, it doesn't matter if you answer first.
However, this did not prevent Xu Tingsheng from brazenly taking the opportunity to ask for more benefits.
For example, letting Fang Yuqing be the boss of Zhicheng Real Estate seems to have made arrangements for Fang Yuqing on the surface, but the person who actually benefits is of course Xu Tingsheng, which means that he will really have a strong background in the future And support, and almost unconditionally, all in.
"Impossible. Grandpa just met you for the first time. How could he trust you so much? Asking Yu Qing to be the boss of your real estate development company is tantamount to telling everyone that the Fang family is behind you. Why do you have it?"
Fang Cheng said.
"Yes, that's what it means. But it's actually not that simple." Xu Tingsheng said with a smile, "After entering the study, the old man asked me to play three games of chess with him first. He said that if I had the ability to beat him in one game, he You can believe in my ability. If I can’t win, I’ll leave.”
"you win?"
"Yeah."
"Impossible. Grandpa used to play chess with those famous professional chess players, and they won each other. How could you beat him? You are so good?"
"Absolutely," Xu Tingsheng said with a smile, "In the first game, I played very seriously and showed all my skills. In fact, it was only at the level of an ordinary elementary school student. After three minutes, I lost."
"I knew it. Then?"
"In the second game, I knew the difference in strength, so I actually had one goal, to exchange the son, desperate, messing around, and trying every means to exchange the son. In the case of a disparity in strength, the best way to bring the two people closer is to exchange the son. Good idea."
"And then, you won?"
"I lost. This game lasted about five minutes, two minutes longer than the last one. Duizi also needs to be leveled, and I'm not good enough." Xu Tingsheng said honestly.
"So, you won the third game?"
"Yeah!"
"Impossible, didn't you say that there is a big gap in strength?"
"It's big, super big, but I just won."
"How did you win?"
"Your grandfather is short-tempered."
"yes."
"The old man is old, not in good health, and not full of energy."
"Um."
"I'm still young and full of energy."
"Um?"
"I spend more than 20 minutes on each chess move. During this period, I suddenly shouted out countless times, yes~, and then retracted the chess piece only a few millimeters away from the chessboard... Continue to think."
"..."
"The old man is tired and wants to close his eyes and rest his mind. I decisively shouted again, yes~."
"..."
"Then I keep thinking... I got it... Keep thinking... Hey, I got it... It's your turn, wait, I think about it... I got it..."
"Stop, I can't take it anymore... and then?"
"Your grandpa surrendered."
"...Why are you so shameless?"
Fang Cheng said, Fang Yuqing nodded in agreement.
Xu Tingsheng said brazenly, "That's how your grandfather praised me. But he also said that I'm brave and resourceful... and able to judge the situation. It's the old man who has vision!"
"... such a joke? How is it possible?"
"Of course it's possible, because when I play chess with your grandfather, no matter how I calculate it, I only have this one advantage. I can find this only chance to win, and I have the courage to use this advantage, make good use of this advantage, and win openly. You Grandpa is completely impressed by me."
"Hey, there is a time limit for playing chess, if there is a time limit..."
"Maybe he forgot to say it...or maybe he didn't say it on purpose. Or he wouldn't have to play these three games of chess."
"Pooh."
"Pooh."
The conversations in the study were of course not limited to these three games. For example, in the second game, the old man said: "Duizi, I hope that one day when you need to do this and what you hold is not a chess piece, there will be such a thing." His courage and awareness are so ruthless."
Xu Tingsheng looked at Fang Yuqing, then at Fang Cheng...
