Xu Zehao turned over and habitually touched the seat next to him. That seat was empty. He opened his eyes and looked at the time and found that it was almost ten o'clock.

Today is the day when Mr. Xu holds a thank-you banquet. Xu Zehao went to the old house after breakfast.

The old house was decorated with lights and colors in a festive manner. Almost all the people who came were bigwigs from the business and political circles, and the scene was very grand.

Because there were many important people involved, security was very strict to prevent the media from taking secret photos and using them to make articles. Everyone entering and leaving had to hand in their mobile phones. They even made special arrangements within a few kilometers of the old house to block all signals, in order to ensure that the content of the banquet would not be leaked.

The reason why the Xu family was able to flourish and grow in Tianshui City is because its roots are deep-rooted. Those invisible underground rhizomes are even larger and more powerful, and they are popular in both the black and white worlds.

Here Xu Zehao met Qin Yinong. The two people who had not seen each other for many years did not hit it off immediately, but instead felt a sense of distance.

"Long time no see, Mr. Xu. I heard that you gave my parents a lot of gifts. Thank you." Qin Yinong was wearing a red dress, looking bright and charming. Her black hair was neatly tied at the back of her head, which was breathtakingly beautiful.

Xu Zehao's expression was ambiguous, his cold eyes were as tough as a sword. He knew that this was done by Master Xu in his name. "Miss Qin, you are too polite. Our two families are old friends. According to seniority, you still have to call me brother."

Qin Yinong didn't know the other party's intention, so she deliberately asked: "Brother? When will you find me a sister-in-law?"

"It's almost there." Xu Zehao did not hide his thoughts at all and clearly expressed his ideas to the other party.

After hearing Xu Zehao's answer, Qin Yinong breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that she was not the only one who was dissatisfied with this family marriage.

"Then you better work harder. I'm looking forward to drinking at your wedding." After Qin Yinong knew that the other party's target was not her, she generously gave her blessings.

"I was just looking for an opportunity for you two to meet, but I didn't expect you two to start chatting first." Qin Shichao suddenly walked over from the side.

"dad."

"Uncle Qin"

Qin Yinong and Xu Zehao tacitly stopped the topic.

"Zehao, I heard from your uncle Liu that you have been very busy recently."

"Yes, Uncle Qin."

"If you have time, come to Uncle Qin's house and have a drink with him."

"Okay." Xu Zehao looked at Qin Yinong. Qin Yinong was very smart and immediately understood what he meant. She deliberately pulled Qin Shichao to leave, "Dad, accompany me to take a look over there."

"Hey, kid, Dad just talked to Zehao, where are you going now?"

"Stop chatting. We are the host and are busy. Come with me and take a walk over there."

"You kid, Zehao, let's go over there first and talk later." Qin Shichao couldn't persuade Qin Yinong and could only follow his precious daughter.

"Okay, Uncle Qin, let's talk again when we have time." Xu Zehao nodded like a gentleman and watched them leave.

Qin Yinong quietly turned around and made an OK gesture to Xu Zehao. Xu Zehao looked at her and nodded again.

This scene was seen by Mr. Xu who was not far away, and he smiled with satisfaction.

"Yino, what were you talking about just now?" Qin Shichao asked curiously, with his own little plan in mind.

Qin Yinong said coquettishly, "I didn't say anything, Dad, why are you so gossipy."

"Aren't I just concerned about you?" Qin Shichao explained helplessly.

Xu Zehao followed Grandpa Xu obediently, this was the first time he officially appeared in front of everyone as the heir of Xu family. Although he had not shown his face in the previous few years, everyone knew that the eldest son of Xu family was extremely intelligent and had the ability to plan and win battles thousands of miles away. Although he had not shown his face in the previous few years, there were always legends about him in the world.

Although Xu Zehao doesn't like socializing, he is a natural leader. Maybe it's his identity as the heir to the Xu family that makes him more charming, or maybe he is born noble and has a sense of oppression. Even if he stands next to Grandpa Xu without saying a word, it is enough to shock people.

The bigwigs at the scene, whether from the political or business circles, were all respectful to Mr. Xu. Most of them were able to reach the top because of Xu's protection in their early years, so that in their eyes, Xu was like a god and they obeyed him unconditionally.

It is precisely because of this huge network of relationships that Xu has connections everywhere. Not only can he get along with both the black and white worlds, but he can also make things happen in Tianshui City with just a wave of his hand.

By pushing Xu Zehao out at this time, Mr. Xu was announcing that everyone would have to obey him from now on.

After the banquet, Xu Zehao was kept by Mr. Xu.

"Zehao, what do you think of Miss Qin?"

"What do you mean?" Xu Zehao glanced at Old Man Xu, a hint of coldness flashing in his eyes.

"In all aspects, you are old enough to get married. Looking at the entire Tianshui City, the only girl who catches my eye is the girl from the Qin family." When Mr. Xu talked about Qin Yinong, his tone became more kind.

"Miss Qin is an excellent person. Her personal ability and family background are impeccable, but she and I may not be suitable."

"Zehao, a wealthy marriage is not just about feelings, it is also inseparable from interests. If you consider the interests of your family, if the Qin family and the Xu family marry, it will be a perfect match, with only benefits and no harm."

The coldness in Xu Zehao's eyes grew stronger. He looked at Old Master Xu without any emotion and sneered disdainfully, "A hundred benefits with no harm? If I don't want to, but you insist on me marrying you, then the harm will be to me, right?"

"You..." Old Master Xu didn't expect him to be so unruly and say something so directly that left him speechless for a moment.

"Grandpa won't harm you. Why don't you even listen to grandpa? Marriage is such a big deal." Mr. Xu was a little furious and wanted to use his seniority to morally blackmail Xu Zehao.

"This is not ancient times. Things like parental orders and matchmaker's words no longer exist. What's more... my parents are gone." Xu Zehao knew Mr. Xu's weak spot very well and grasped it accurately.

"You..., do you want to piss me off to death?" Mr. Xu was so angry that he was gasping for breath and patted his chest to calm himself down.

"Grandpa." After a brief silence, Xu Zehao suddenly called him.

Old Master Xu was stunned. He had never heard Xu Zehao call him grandpa before, but today's word "grandpa" not only did not make him happy, but made him feel bad.

Sure enough, the next second, Xu Zehao suddenly stood up and looked down at him, then suddenly bent down and approached him, whispering sarcastically, "Since Grandpa knows that he is old, he should pay more attention to his health. Don't find things to do for yourself and make yourself sick. In the end, you will suffer."

After saying this, he stood up straight, his posture was upright, but his whole body exuded a strong sense of coolness.

"I won't rely on women for a living, nor will I rely on any marriage to expand my business. I will let you see my strength." After saying that, he turned and left.

His voice was deep and powerful, and he spoke every word clearly, giving people an irresistible power.

"Rebellion, rebellion, this... this... kid has grown wings." Old Master Yu was so angry that he beat his chest.

"Oh, master, please calm down. The young master is still young, and young people are arrogant. Master, you should be magnanimous and don't bother with him. When he suffers, he will naturally understand your good intentions." The butler on the side hurriedly walked up to him, patted him on the back to calm him down and comforted him.

"This kid is not a good boy, but a rebellious boy like his father. Sooner or later, I will be pissed off to death by him. Look at what he just said. Is this something a junior can say?" Master Xu was still furious. Xu Zehao's behavior was tantamount to challenging his authority and was extremely disrespectful to him.

"Calm down, calm down..."
