Change heart

Xu Xin'an said with a smile: "Aunt Suqiu, how do you remember what you said casually when you were young?"

Suqiu ordered the people by the lake to bring the boat over, "I don't care if I'm joking or not, I'm serious, you're not young anymore, it's time to take a good look at you, I think Miss also wants to see your wedding day sooner. "

Xu Xin'an hugged her shoulder: "Okay, I'll work hard, I will let my mother and you see this day sooner."

Xu Xin'an and Zhao Jianyi boarded the boat. Zhao Jianyi looked at the quiet surroundings, and the steam on his face reminded him of his hometown.

"It is said that Xu's family has a private garden, which is usually not open to the public, so this is it?"

Xu Xin'an nodded, and put his hand into the lake water, it was cold.

"This was originally a wedding gift from my father to my mother. My mother grew up in the south and loved the sea since she was a child. After marrying my father, the chances of returning to her hometown became less and less. This place is not near the sea. My father wanted to relieve my mother's homesickness. Love bought this old garden and built an artificial lake in it. My mother liked to live here the most during her lifetime. She liked to sit in the lake with a boat and watch the night view. After she passed away, my father was heartbroken and closed it. Later, when I grew up, Auntie Suqiu also retired, and my father reopened the place. One was to let her take care of the old age, and the other was to let her take care of her mother’s favorite place. Take care of my mother. After I was born, my mother was always taking care of me when she was in poor health. We have a deep relationship. Later, my sister renovated this place and made it a private club to entertain friends who are close to the Xu family. Ordinary people You can't get in without an invitation card from the Xu family. You are from the south, so you have to try Auntie Suqiu's handicraft later, it's really delicious."

Hearing what Xu Xin'an said, Zhao Jianyi thought of Suqiu's sizing up on him just now, and suddenly had the answer. This garden is not accessible to ordinary people, and the people who come in must not be ordinary people.

"I took Zhou Ya here once a few years ago, and I never brought anyone else here, so Aunt Suqiu's reaction was that way just now, don't mind."

The talking room had arrived, and the two of them went to the pavilion in the middle of the lake one after another. A table was set in the middle, and the dishes were already set on the table. The portions were small and looked particularly delicate.

The two sat down, and Xu Xin'an picked up the small wine cup on the side.

"Do you want some of the plum wine you brewed yourself?"

Zhao Jianyi shook his head: "No drinking."

Xu Xin'an put down the wine cup, "Let's eat vegetables then."

The two sat quietly, eating their dishes.

Xu Xin'an was right, the dishes here are really delicious and have a strong Jiangnan flavor. Zhao Jianyi has not eaten such authentic Jiangnan cuisine for many years. The chefs in the few restaurants he opened are not as authentic as here. .

Seeing that Zhao Jianyi had a good appetite, Xu Xin'an said with a smile, "I think you like to eat it. If you want to eat it in the future, you can call Auntie Suqiu and just come over and eat."

Zhao Jianyi looked at the smiling young man opposite and said, "Are you so kind to your friends?"

Xu Xin'an put down his chopsticks, looked at the quiet lake and sighed, "The older you are, the fewer people you can call friends. The higher you stand, the fewer people who can really treat you well. Mr. Zhao, you say yes Isn't it?"

The more he interacted with the elegant young man opposite, the more he found that Xu Xin'an was very different from what he expected or what was rumored outside.

Looking at the appearance of a good old man, in fact, many things can be seen clearly in his bones.Remembering that day on the top floor of the restaurant, he asked himself, how do you know you can't be friends without trying?

The extravagant Xu Xin'an told herself that she could not choose her birth, and there were even more people who plotted against her behind her back.

Zhao Jianyi has seen many young masters and ladies from wealthy families, some are dandy, some are arrogant, some are prodigal, some are fearless like Zhou Ya, some are cautious like Chen Fang, and some are as careful as Zhou Shaoqin, but there is no one. Like Xu Xin'an.Even though his family background is detached, but he doesn't have any dandy habits, he is courteous to others, although sometimes he looks more than gentle and lacks courage, but in fact he sees problems deeply and cares deeply, such a person is not as aggressive as Xu Xinci It's complementary.

"My father died early, and my mother raised me by picking up garbage. I didn't read much. I was pointed at by people and scolded me as a bastard. My mother lived a good life. I have done everything and used everything. I tried my best to climb to the current position, but I was still disgusted by my birth. I can't get into the circle of top rich people like you. It’s not that I don’t have enough money, it’s that you don’t even bother to sit at the same table with a bastard born in a slum and discuss business. This world is born unequal. I have never stood at the height of Xu Ershao, so how can I answer? Er Shao's question."

Zhao Jianyi stared straight at him with narrow eyes hidden on his beautiful face in the dark night.

Xu Xin'an said lightly, "If I say that I can help you reach that height, would you be willing?"

Zhao Jianyi said casually: "How do you know that I am willing to become like you, the one I dislike the most."

Xu Xin'an's eyes were bright, and his intuition told him that Zhao Jianyi was not a person who was satisfied with the status quo.

"If you really don't like it, why do you have to try your best to get to where you are today? What you don't like is us, who were born with a golden spoon in our mouths, and can easily get what you have struggled for for more than ten years. Who doesn't Like power and money, and you are no exception!"

Zhao Jianyi squinted his eyes and looked fierce: "What do you want to do, give me a hand too?"

Xu Xin'an smiled and shook her head: "No, the Xu family is not the most suitable springboard for you. I'll find you someone to work with her rather than me."

Zhao Jianyi pondered for a moment: "The person you're talking about is Zhou Ya?"

Xu Xin'an continued: "Yes. Mr. Zhou has two sons. The eldest son has never been liked by him. It's no secret that he loves the younger son. There is only Zhou Ya, a daughter, and Zhou Shaoqin, a son. It is well known that Mr. Zhou is patriarchal. Zhou Ya and him It's not a day or two for my father to want to start his own family. Sooner or later, he will be separated. The youngest son of the Zhou family is a prodigal son. Even if Zhou Shaoqin, the illegitimate grandson who came back halfway, has some abilities, as far as I know Zhou Shaoqin is purely gay. Tomorrow's headlines Let everyone know this fact. Mr. Zhou is conservative in thinking, guess what will happen if he finds out? Zhou Ya is very interested in your technology company, and she set up a company to secretly buy shares of Zhou's family. "

Zhao Jianyi frowned: "Are you so sure?"

Xu Xin'an picked up the tea on the table and took a sip: "Once the scandal of the Zhou family comes out, the stock price will plummet. The pawns that the Xu family planted in the Zhou family in the early years can finally be used now. You cooperate with Zhou Ya, and she and her father hand in hand. There are 20.00% of the shares of the Zhou family, and 20.00% of the shares of the Zhou family’s board of directors are in the hands of people I can control. As long as you have [-]% of the shares of the Zhou family, Zhou Ya can guarantee you to join the Zhou family’s board of directors. Joining the Zhou family's board of directors is your first step. The Xu family's welfare project in Tyumen has been approved by the board of directors. With such an opportunity to become famous, do you want to cooperate with me?"

"How are you sure Zhou Ya will agree?"

"You borrow her company, and she borrows your funds. Now high-tech is the mainstream, and you cooperate with each other for mutual benefit."

Zhao Jianyi looked at the calm young man opposite, with the same gentle brows and eyes, the same delicate face, drinking tea in a calm and breezy manner, blending into the night is not at all against harmony.

"Your proposal sold Zhou Ya a favor, and made me owe you a favor. Xu Ershao had a good plan. Zhou Ya asked me many times, but I didn't agree. It seems that I can't refuse after hearing what you said today. You are not afraid that if I join the board of directors of the Zhou family, it will be detrimental to your good friend Miss Zhou, and you are not afraid of attracting wolves into the house?"

Xu Xin'an put down his glass and smiled slightly: "Zhou Ya is not a fool, you want to embezzle the Zhou family, but you don't have that strength yet, and the Zhou family, even if Mr. Zhou is no longer in power, the business interests of the Zhou family are intertwined for so many years, you are not that stupid, A springboard is not worth your troubles."

Zhao Jianyi suddenly wanted to laugh, this Xu Xin'an really sees through everything, how did such a delicate and clear mind grow?

"It's been rumored that the Second Young Master is an embroidered pillow, cowardly and incompetent, relying on Xu Xinci and relying on Xu's family background, if someone hears what he said just now, he doesn't know what his expression will be."

"Over the past few years, Zhou's family has created a lot of trouble for the Xu family. If it wasn't like this, how could my sister work too hard? This account has to be settled slowly. The situation in this circle should be reshuffled. .”

"That's why you helped Chen Fang?"

Xu Xin'an nodded: "There are no permanent friends in this circle, only permanent interests. These old guys in the circle have considered themselves very high for so many years, so it's time for them to see how powerful the new blood is. Don't you think so, Mr. Zhao? "

Zhao Jianyi picked up the tea in front of him and held it up: "Then I hope that Xu Ershao and I will have a happy cooperation!"
