Gu Mo and the old man stood facing each other, and the eyes of the two showed that they had their own thoughts. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

There was no one else in this study except for the father and son.

There was a trace of coldness and resoluteness on Gu Mo's fair face, and he said without humility or arrogance: "Dad, I have solved the Luoshui crisis now, I don't know if Dad's conditions can be promised." ”

Gu Mo has always been a person who has something to say, so the old man is not surprised at all by his straightforwardness.

When the old man gave him this condition, he already knew in his heart that Gu Ran was a person who couldn't pick up the big beam, and this great cause could not be barren, but someone needed to save it - that person could only be his second son Gu Mo.

It's just that...... The old man seemed to be thinking about something, and then asked Gu Mo uncertainly: "Mo'er, you exchanged the conditions so directly with your father-you really want to sit in your eldest brother's position?"

The reason why he asked uncertainly was because Gu Mo had not been a person of lust since he was a child, and his power and money were in him, but he was nothing outside his body. But now he did not hide his desire to take Gu Ran's position as soon as possible, and he bluntly revealed his desire to take power in the Gu family, which made the old man feel strange.

Where is there anyone who craves financial power, but does not shy away from speaking out?

Moreover, if you do this business with full selfish desires, there will be no good results after all. The old man is from the past, of course he understands.

"Yes. Gu Mo replied frankly.

The old man instantly gasped, looked at Gu Mo with a pair of eyes that were half confused, and simply continued to ask.

He knew that as long as Gu Mo gave an explanation, it would not be a lie. If he encountered a question he didn't want to answer, Gu Mo would just be silent.

"Why?"

Gu Mo raised his eyes and looked at the master, and said seriously: "In order to protect my wife, in order to protect this family." ”

When the old man heard this, his heart first swelled with a wave of relief—a long-lost relief.

But after a while, he fell silent again, his eyes lowered with sorrow.

This sentence is deceptively simple, and there are no many mysteries. But the meaning of the words is as deep as an abyss, and it can be described as concise and concise.

Fortunately, the speaker is not at all worried that the obedient person will not understand. What's even better is that obedient people do understand when they hear it.

Anything that the master knows, Gu Mo knows everything.

On the issue of the loophole in the accounts of the main store in Dongcheng, the master has faintly found out a fact that no one wants to accept - Gu Ran and Liu Fengxian are both big houses, and they are absolutely inseparable from this matter.

Rao is old man knows in his heart that Gu Ran is loyal and honest, and it is impossible to make dirty wishful thinking about the family industry - but even if the hands and feet on the accounts are made by Liu Fengxian, it is her wife Gu Mansion who has a ghost in her heart...... After all, it is Gu Ran who is in charge of the accounts, and Gu Ran is Liu Fengxian's husband after all.

In addition, recently, the second lady Mei Yuelan has vaguely proposed to the lord more than once that she wants her son to be able to enter the Gu Mansion to live, and has a legitimate identity, the lord who is ashamed of their mother and son can't bear to refuse, but she is in a dilemma due to too many restrictive factors.

Madam..... The lady who has become more and more gloomy since the second lady entered the Gu Mansion. The old man has become more and more estranged from his wife, and he has no idea what his wife is thinking in his heart. With his understanding of his wife's personality, he could not guarantee that his wife would not become a rabbit who was forced to bite him hard in the future.

He often leaned back in his chair alone and wondered if the current complicated situation of the family would one day be torn apart.

Gu Ran has been sitting in a position that holds the financial power of the entire Gu Jewelry - including all the financial power of the main store, local branches, and even stores in overseas markets. Therefore, every generation of people who sit in this position is the true successor of Gu's jewelry.

Just like the old man.

However, if the family business is handed over to the cowardly eldest son according to the consistent tradition, the entire Gu jewelry may eventually collapse into ruins.

So Gu Mo said that he wanted to protect this family - he wanted to keep this family.

The old man sighed heavily, but he couldn't sigh the bitterness and worry in his heart.

He dragged his unconsciously old and aging body to sit down slowly, staring in a certain direction with inattentive eyes, his wrinkled hands on the table, and said slowly: "Mo'er, my current body, I really don't know when I will go." ”

Speaking of this, Gu Mo's expression moved slightly, and he pursed his lips tightly without making a sound.

The old man continued: "If one day you really become the owner of this Gu family's jewelry, the master of the Gu Mansion, you don't ask for much for your father - on the one hand, the cause laid down by the ancestors of the Gu family cannot be wasted, and the other one, hope..... I hope you can be kind to Yuelan and that child. ”

Gu Mo narrowed his eyes slightly, and suddenly he couldn't understand his father.

"Daddy. Gu Mo spoke, "That child, is it the bloodline of the Gu family?"

The old man nodded weakly: "I owe Yuelan a lifetime, and I owe this child too much..... Yuelan is a person who has no heart, she just hopes that her child can have a home and a father. ”

Gu Mo nodded thoughtfully, he believed what the old man said.

The old man was in a trance for a long time, and his eyebrows revealed not only pessimism but also hope.

The old man said so much, which is equivalent to acquiescing to Gu Mo taking over Gu Ran's position.

Gu Mo faced his father's pessimism about himself, and did not say with tears in his eyes like ordinary children, "Dad, you will definitely live a long life", because he understood that this was just useless and did not play any role.

Gu Mo only said: "Dad, my son will not let you down." ”

After all, the old man smiled slowly and relievedly. He looked at Gu Mo deeply, as if he wanted to see the future of Gu Mansion, not a thousand holes but a vibrant future.

=================

However, Gu Mo didn't know if it was enough to use "disaster is not a single line" to describe the current Gu Mansion.

When Gu Ran knew that the master asked him to contribute to the sales and asked him to hand over the financial power to Gu Mo, he accepted it silently as expected, and didn't even dare to say a word "no".

All the handover procedures have finally been completed, and Gu Mo is going to go to Yunjitang again this day to take a look at Gu Wanyan and tell her the news.

Before going out, he and Liu Fengxian met on the narrow road and the corridor of the West Garden.

Liu Fengxian smiled charmingly and proudly, and pinched a stack of thick things in her hand, as if she was prepared.

Gu Mo originally wanted to ignore her and go over directly, but who knew that Liu Fengxian blocked in front of him sideways, blocking Gu Mo's way.

Gu Mo frowned slightly, but he was still polite: "Sister-in-law, is there something wrong?" ”

Liu Fengxian habitually stroked the corners of her eyes and said, "Yes, why not." ”

Gu Mo looked at her coldly, silent, and signaled, "I want to hear the details."

Liu Fengxian casually flipped through the stack of papers in her hand, with a weird smile on the corner of her mouth: "Now second brother, you are the leader of Gu's jewelry, and I haven't had time to say congratulations." ”

Gu Mo snorted disdainfully in his heart and said, "Thank you." ”

The master now knows what Liu Fengxian is like, but he blatantly moves her, and he still has scruples. The old man didn't move Liu Fengxian, Gu Mo was in this position now, and he couldn't act rashly. He silently told himself to bear with it for a while, it was not time yet.

Liu Fengxian disagreed, and handed the things in her hand to Gu Mo: "Look at what this is." ”

Gu Mohu glanced at her suspiciously, then slowly took the things in her hand and looked at them.

Gu Mo looked at it for a long time, and his face became ugly. The more he looked, the more he understood, the more he looked, the more wrong it became, and at the end, he only felt that there was a fire in his heart that seemed to be about to erupt!

What Liu Fengxian showed him was the real accounts of Gu's jewelry and the record of paying taxes to the state this year.

This is nothing, the key is that Gu Mo, as an insider, can see at a glance that judging from the data on paper, from the beginning of the year to the present, there are a large number of signs of tax evasion and tax evasion in the main store of Gu's Jewelry Dongcheng every month! That is to say, this is a proof of Gu's Jewelry evading taxes and embezzling taxes - this seemingly inconspicuous stack of papers is enough to destroy the entire Gu's Jewelry!

"What is this?!" Gu Mo asked sharply, with a deliberately hidden anger in his tone.

Liu Fengxian laughed, and there was a disgusting viciousness in her laughter: "Second brother is not a fool, I don't need to explain what this is, right?"

Gu Mo was still furious in his heart, obviously this was all planned by Liu Fengxian. But he still patiently asked, "What the hell is going on?"

Liu Fengxian raised her eyebrows: "Our husband and wife have always been harmonious, don't you know? Gu Ran has always listened to me for everything." ”

Yes, Gu Ran listens to Liu Fengxian for everything. Liu Fengxian asked him to go east, but he didn't dare to go west, Liu Fengxian let him sit and he didn't dare to stand-but, Liu Fengxian asked him to evade taxes, did he do it?!

Gu Mo took a deep breath and his face was gloomy: "If this is what you spent most of your time planning - then my eldest brother will go to jail, do you know?"

Liu Fengxian sneered and didn't speak, but she had already shown that she didn't care.

Gu Mo was stunned, and finally understood how vicious the pretentious woman in front of him was.

Forget it, what's the use of dealing with someone like her?

Gu Mo squeezed the papers tightly and asked coldly, "What do you want?"

Liu Fengxian smiled triumphantly: "The second brother is really straightforward and refreshing. ”

Gu Mo looked at her coldly.

Liu Fengxian blinked, and then lowered his head and played with his Qianqianyu hand and said, "Sun Qingsheng, the major shareholder of Hongyue Building, Boss Sun, you are not a stranger, right? ”

Gu Mo listened, and almost broke out in an instant.

If Gu's jewelry is a surging river, then the main store in Dongcheng is the most important main stream, the main line and the lifeblood!

Gu Mo looked at Liu Fengxian's appearance of gaining the upper hand, and suddenly realized that the purpose of Liu Fengxian's coming to Gu Mansion was this.

Gu Mo was secretly annoyed, and Liu Fengxian said leisurely: "Second brother, you can look at it—whether to give the main store to Boss Zhuansun, or let the country seal Gu's jewelry, in your thoughts." ”

After saying that, she turned around and wanted to leave, and said with a strange smile before leaving: "Don't tell anyone about this, otherwise, I can't help you hide the matter of Qingkui." ”
