Xu Ji's heart was pounding, and his spine was cold.

Facing Chu Zhongtang's questioning, he said with a flickering look in his eyes: "I have indeed had some contact with the Great Elder recently. But I have absolutely no selfish agendas. It's all for your cause. ”

Chu Zhongtang didn't ask any more questions, picked up the cooled teacup and took a sip and said, "Go out." ”

"Yes. ”

Xu Jixia was relieved, turned around and walked out of the study.

But there was an extremely complicated expression on his face.

In this world, there is indeed nothing that can be hidden from the big boss.

Even if his contact with the Great Elder was so low-key and secret, he was still well known to the Big Boss. I can't hide it at all.

Fortunately, he has always been loyal to the big boss. Even if the Great Elder did woo him. There are signs of turning him back. But Xu Jixia understands very well that the reason why he can have today's status and influence. It's all from the big boss Chu Zhongtang.

Without Chu Zhongtang, there would be absolutely no Xu Jixia today.

To be a human being, you can be selfish. But don't forget your roots.

Nor can we be ungrateful.

When he came to the living room, Chu Shaohuai was sitting in the living room watching TV. A cigarette between his fingers. It seems to be very leisurely, but his eyes fall lightly on Xu Jixia.

"Young Master, do you have something to say to me?" Xu Jixia asked euphemistically.

His heart and pride did allow him not to fall behind when getting along with Chu Shaohuai. even regard themselves as elders.

But he also knew very well that once Chu Zhongtang retreated into the background, his future big boss would be Chu Shaohuai, the second young master of the Chu family.

So basic respect will still be given to him.

And Chu Shaohuai's performance is also worthy of his almost obligatory respect.

The son of the first person in the world, Chu Lao Wei, how bad can he be?

"Nothing. If Uncle Xu is not in a hurry, sit down and have a cup of tea?" Chu Shaohuai had already poured tea for him.

In the study, talking to Chu Zhongtang, he is definitely not qualified to drink tea.

At this moment, the little master poured tea, which made him feel that his self-esteem was taken care of.

"Thank you, young master. ”

Xu Ji sat down opposite, picked up the teacup and took a sip.

Tea is good tea.

The cooking techniques are also top-notch.

This little young master is a well-known Chu mad young man in the capital. It doesn't seem to be a good idea. But he is full of talent, and he looks good at everything. Even in just a few years, it has quietly made a name for itself in the business world. And basically didn't touch the light of Chu Zhongtang.

Xu Jixia understands this as an experience. It is also the cultivation of the ability of the big boss to the little master.

"My dad criticized you again?" Chu Shaohuai asked in a weird manner.

"Poor work, as it should be. Xu Jixia didn't quibble about anything.

"My dad is cold-blooded and ruthless, and you didn't just know it today. Chu Shaohuai smiled. "It's good to get used to it. ”

Xu Ji took a sip of tea. Didn't pick up the stubble.

The son scolded Lao Tzu for being cold-blooded and ruthless, at most he was uneducated.

When the younger brother scolds the boss cold-blooded and ruthless, it is the original sin and is unforgivable.

He has positioned himself so accurately that it is impossible to make a mistake of principle.

"It's fine. I'll be on top later. Uncle Xu, your good days are coming. Chu Shaohuai smiled.

When Xu Ji heard this, he raised his eyebrows and said, "Young Master." There are some things that you shouldn't say. ”

"What words?" Chu Shaohuai asked rhetorically.

"The big boss is in the year of fighting, you want to get on the top, and there are others. Xu Jixia said calmly.

"There will always be this day. Chu Shaohuai shrugged and said. "You're too sensitive. ”

"It's not that I'm sensitive. It's you who are disrespectful to the big boss. Xu Jixia said meaningfully.

"Are you afraid that I will sue?" Chu Shaohuai said with squinted eyes.

"I am loyal to the big boss and have a clear conscience. "Xu Ji cut the railway.

"Alright. Who hasn't been selfish? Even if you do, my dad can understand. Chu Shaohuai said slowly. "My dad said that no one wants to be a dog for the rest of their lives. Especially capable and arrogant talents. ”

As soon as this statement came out.

Xu Ji's lower body trembled slightly.

Did the big boss really say this? And it was passed on to him by the little young master.

Is this a warning from the big boss? or is it a final piece of advice?

Xu Jixia said solemnly: "Please tell the big boss." I was born as a member of the Chu family, and died as a ghost of the Chu family. Please rest assured that the big boss. ”

Chu Shaohuai picked up the teacup and said, "Uncle Xu, you are too nervous. I'm just chatting with you. Nothing else. ”

Xu Jixia's expression was complicated, and he clinked glasses with Chu Shaohuai, but he didn't know how to pick up the stubble.

After sending Xu Ji out of the door.

Chu Shaohuai came to his father's study.

My father is still working at the desk, his mental state is full, and his expression is extremely cold.

For so many years, he hadn't even seen his father smile.

Instead, he occasionally went to his grandfather's spiritual seat in a daze. One stay is a whole day. No one is allowed to disturb him, and he must not be disturbed in his remembrance.

"Dad. I just tested Uncle Xu. Chu Shaohuai said lightly. "He was nervous and loyal to me. I think he shouldn't have eaten inside or out. It won't turn against you. ”

Chu Zhongtang nodded lightly and said without raising his head: "In the future, he will become your right-hand man." You don't have to offend him. And he had a grudge against him. ”

"If there is that day. I won't use your people. Chu Shaohuai shrugged and said.

"Oh?" Chu Zhongtang was stunned and raised his eyes to look at his son. "Why?"

"They are faithful only to you. Not me. Even if you give me face on the surface, in private, you won't look up to me much. Chu Shaohuai said slowly. "If I am put in power, I will cultivate my own lineage. The henchmen you left behind—"

The corners of Chu Zhongtang's lips were slightly upturned. A strange look flashed across his majestic and cold face.

"You've grown up. Chu Zhongtang nodded slightly. "Let's go back to the Chu family to do things. ”

As he spoke, he pulled a contract out of a drawer.

He has been preparing this job contract for three years. I'm waiting for it to be handed over to my son today.

Chu Shaohuai glanced at the content of the contract.

The position is very high. In the entire huge group system, he is second only to Xu Jixia and is the number three person.

"Can I refuse?" Chu Shaohuai put down the contract and glanced at his father.

"As long as there is a good reason. Chu Zhongtang nodded. "I don't force you. ”

"Can you refuse for no reason?" Chu Shaohuai asked.

Chu Zhongtang shook his head cleanly.

Chu Shaohuai shrugged.

"I can go home and do things. But you have to grant me one request. Chu Shaohuai said.

"It's not a negotiation, it's not a sale. Chu Zhongtang said calmly. "But you can talk about it, I can think about it as a father. ”

"If one day, you really want to fight my eldest brother in the ring. Or want to do something to him. Don't hide it from me. Tell me directly. Let me be mentally prepared. Chu Shaohuai gritted his teeth and said.

"What can you tell you?" Chu Zhongtang asked rhetorically.

"I'm going to break off the father-son relationship with you. Chu Shaohuai squinted and said.

When Chu Zhongtang heard this, he nodded: "Okay." I will let you know in advance. ”

"Thank you. Chu Shaohuai said. "I will work hard and not let you down. ”

If one day in the future, when Chu Shaohuai grows to the point of being strong enough. So powerful that even Chu Zhongtang thought that the eldest brother would not threaten him.

Perhaps my father would no longer see my eldest brother as an enemy.

"Go ahead. Chu Zhongtang lowered his eyes. Said expressionlessly.
