Chapter 361: Sima Qing's Persuasion
Early the next morning, Sima Qing went to the Xu Building. It's not time to go to work yet, and there aren't many people in the Xu building. The front desk lady had just gone to work, and Sima Qing, the current head of the Sima family, naturally knew her, so she hurriedly twisted her waist to greet her, "Mr. Sima, you are so early, I don't know if you came here to find someone or handle business?"
Sima Qing smiled and looked at the front desk lady, "Girl, it's not early." It's rare for me to come to you, I didn't expect your building to be so magnificent. I'm here to find you Mr. Xu, Xu Lei. ”
The front desk lady looked at Sima Qing's energetic appearance and felt that her spirit had improved. "Mr. Sima, Mr. Xu hasn't come over yet, I'll take you to our VIP room to wait first. ”
"Okay, okay, this Xu Group is different, the girls who come out are so polite and beautiful, then I'll go upstairs and wait for you Mr. Xu." Sima Qingle smiled, as if he had just come to visit the Xu Building, and went upstairs with a smile.
"Your Xu's building is really magnificent, I have long heard that your President Xu is well-managed, good at innovation and enterprising, it seems that this is indeed the case. At a young age, he was able to make Xu's business so prosperous. ”
When Xu Lei arrived at the Xu Building, the first news he heard was that Sima Qing, the current head of the Sima family, was waiting for him in the VIP room on the top floor, saying that he had come early in the morning and had been waiting for a while. Xu Lei had an ominous premonition and hurriedly rushed upstairs.
As soon as I opened the door of the VIP room, I saw Sima Qing standing in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling window with a cup of tea and watching the traffic downstairs. Hearing the voice behind him, he looked back and saw that Xu Lei was standing at the door of the VIP hall.
"Ouch, Mr. Xu, look at me, it's not good to be old, I only found out now when you came. ”
Xu Lei entered the door and closed the door of the VIP room together. "Don't dare, just call me Xiao Xu by Mr. Sima. Really, I'm really sorry Mr. Sima, I didn't know you came so early, so I came late and neglected you. ”
"Okay, then it's called Xiao Xu, Xiao Xu is even more kind. I didn't wake up so early, I didn't sleep at all. Sima Qing sighed, shook his head, and put the water glass in his hand back on the table.
"Although he is busy with official business, Mr. Sima still has to take good care of his body. Xu Lei took the coffee sent by his assistant, lowered his head and took a sip to stabilize his mind.
Sima Qing smiled, "Xiao Xu, I can't sleep this night, I really have something on my mind." However, it was not for any official business, but for a little private matter of our bastard boys. ”
"Yes, Mr. Sima is still so concerned about the child's affairs. Xu Lei smiled, feeling that he was falling into the trap set by the old fox step by step.
"The children's affairs are what I am most concerned about now. Sima Qing took a sip of tea, blew a few tea leaves floating on the surface of the tea, and talked with a smile. An old god is here, leisurely and complacent.
In such a situation, Xu Lei was a little unsure of what Sima Qing meant, so he simply asked directly: "I don't know if Mr. Sima came over this time, is there something that our Xu family has not done well?"
Sima Qing smiled and shook his head, "Xiao Xu, it's not that you don't do anything wrong, it's that you do your job too well." When Sima Qing said this, he also patted Xu Lei's shoulder cordially. "You gave birth to a good daughter, sincere, kind, excellent and generous, and you are really an example for the children in our circle to learn from. ”
The words have already been said to this point, if Xu Lei still doesn't know what Sima Qing, the old fox, wants to do, it will be too stupid. "Where is Mr. Sima, this child in our family, because I am too busy with work, I have really lacked discipline and education since I was a child, resulting in nothing to achieve when I grow up now, and there are no rules. I don't know if my family Lili has done something bad again to make Mr. Sima unhappy?"
Sima Qing looked at Xu Lei and suddenly laughed, "Okay, okay, Xiao Xu, I, Sima Qing, won't go around in circles with you anymore." I and that child in my family like your Xu Li very much, so this time I came to propose to you. ”
Xu Lei's brain was running rapidly, "I don't know which young master of the Sima family fell in love with our family Lili, that is our Lili's blessing." ”
"This person, you have also seen it, and I should have come to you a few days ago, it is the lotus city of our Sima family. ”
Sure enough, it was him. Xu Lei's heart was moved, but he didn't expect that even Sima Qing would come forward in this matter. "Mr. Sima, where are you, I only know that Young Master Sima Di and Young Master Sima Yu of the Sima family, if I remember correctly, this Lotus City seems to be the housekeeper of your family. ”
Sima Qing smiled contemptuously, "Mr. Xu knows the personnel relationship of our Sima family very well. That's right, Liancheng is indeed the housekeeper of our Sima family, but he is still the adopted son of my Sima Qing, and he is the same status as Sima Di and Sima Yu in our family, and he is the director of our Sima Group in the company, and I feel that there is a lot of room and potential for promotion. I don't know if Mr. Xu is dissatisfied with this Lianchengman?"
Xu Lei's heart was a little shocked, he didn't expect this Sima Qing to be so good to Liancheng, "Where did Mr. Sima say, how did we hear that you have a godson?"
"From the moment Ah Cheng was born, he was my godson Sima Qing. Since Ah Cheng was born, his food and clothing have been no different from Sima Di Sima Yu, and I have long recognized him as my godson. Moreover, I have also met your daughter, Xu Li, Lili, is indeed a good girl, so our family Ah Cheng also likes and takes care of Lili. Mr. Xu, I came here today to propose to you, hoping that you will marry your daughter to our family Acheng. ”
Xu Lei smiled awkwardly, but found that the muscles on his face were tense together. He has always hoped that his daughter can marry the children of the family here, but the most famous family in the area here is naturally this Sima family. For generations, they have ostensibly made profits from the operation of the company's industry, but in fact, the most important thing for the Sima family is his intelligence system. These intelligence systems not only have some information in the business world, but also have a deep involvement in the political, military, and entertainment circles.
Asking the world, who doesn't want to marry into the Sima family, it's like flying on a branch and becoming a phoenix. Xu Lei naturally thought about matching his daughter with the two sons of the Xu family, but who knew that his daughter was not angry, and he actually fell in love with the housekeeper. So of course he wouldn't agree.
This is now, Sima Qing, the old fox, actually came to say that Liancheng was his godson, if he openly said that he refused, it would inevitably save Sima Qing's face and make it seem that he looked down on the Sima family. However, he also hopes to marry his daughter to the children of the family, although this Liancheng is capable, and Sima Qing treats him as his own, but what he sheds on him is not the blood of the Sima family.
Sima Qing saw the entanglement in Xu Lei's eyes and sighed. "Xiao Xu, I know, you may think that our Sima family is not worthy of your Xu family......"
When Xu Lei heard this, he hurriedly interrupted Sima Qing, "No, no, Mr. Sima, I didn't mean that." ”
Sima Qing raised his hand and continued, "Xiao Xu, I know, you want your daughter to marry someone with a head and a face. I also know that you think that our family Ah Cheng is a housekeeper and is not worthy of Lili. Xiao Xu, Ah Cheng is my adopted son, and he is the same as Sima Di and Sima Yu, now you can rest assured.
If you still feel uncomfortable, then you should ask your daughter who she really wants to marry. Xiao Xu, if it weren't for the fact that your family Lili and our family Acheng are truly in love with each other, but because of your opposition, there is no way to come together justifiably, I wouldn't have come here at all. Some women are married to money in this life, some women are married to face in this life, and some women are willing to marry love with everything they have.
Xiao Xu, the Xu family is not short of money or power, can't the daughter of the Xu family even choose her own lifelong happiness? Xiao Xu, it's better to put away that set and think about it. In the thoughts of the ancestors, marriage pays attention to the right family, and I also understand that there is naturally his reason in it. But now at the very least, two people must have feelings when they get married, at least if they really love each other, this is the foundation of love and marriage. ”
Xu Lei was a little embarrassed by Sima Qing's words, even Sima Qing knew that marriage should be based on the purest feelings, but he tied up so many things in marriage.
Sima Qing saw Xu Lei's thoughtful appearance, and knew that he was doing everything he said, Xu Lei was also a smart person, and he would understand what he said today. "Xiao Xu, I'm done with what I'm going to say today, I'll leave first. ”
Xu Lei hurriedly got up to send him off, "Mr. Sima, I understand what you said today, I know what to do." ”
Sima Qing didn't expect Xu Lei to make a promise before he left, and he was a little moved in his heart. "Xiao Xu, we always want to give the next generation a better life, but sometimes we always have to think about what they want. If they want to burn the cakes, but we go to great lengths to stuff the caviar into them and make them accept the caviar, they will only get more tired of us. ”
After Sima Qing left, Xu Lei sat alone in the VIP room for a long, long time, and finally took out his mobile phone and dialed Xu Li's phone.
"Hey, Lili, this Sunday, bring Liancheng home for a meal. ”
Xu Li received a call from Xu Lei, and she was almost crying when she heard what Xu Lei said. "Dad, thank you, thank you for giving Liancheng a chance. I didn't expect it, I really didn't expect it...... Dad, I'm sorry, I'm really sorry, everything I did before, what I said to you, I'm sorry, I'm really sorry......"
Xu Lei sighed, "Lili, Dad is not because of everything in Liancheng or the Sima family, Dad just wants you to be happy." ”
