"Because you can already ask about family affairs," Cao Zhongyi suppressed his smile after saying this, and looked at Cao Yue with a serious face, "And I also want to tell you that if the appointment and promotion of your parents and uncle is a good thing, then you have made a lot of contributions to this good thing." ”

"Grandpa is referring to the fact that I have been assassinated several times?" Cao Yue asked cautiously.

"That's right," Cao Zhongyi nodded, "In order to save Lu Dazhong's life, in order not to let Lu Dahui have any accidents, and not to let the Lu family get into trouble, Lu Chengqi, the old fox, agreed to some excessive requests from me." ”

"In the appointment of parents and uncles, the Lu family wants to show their support?" Cao Yue asked, and immediately expressed his doubts, "This can force Lu Chengqi to accept his grandfather's conditions?"

"If the news of Lu Dahui and Lu Dazhong trying to assassinate you several times spreads, then the reputation of the Lu family will definitely be greatly damaged, and they will suffer a big loss in terms of personnel arrangements. The corners of Cao Zhongyi's mouth showed a little sarcastic smile, "This time, there have been personnel changes in many departments, and the Lu family wants to install and promote some people, if these things are spread at a critical time, then the people of the Lu family should not think about this." ”

"I understand," Cao Yue looked suddenly realized, "Grandpa put forward some coercive conditions, forcing the Lu family to express support for the promotion of parents, uncles and others, and our Cao family does not object to some positions of the Lu family, but the position promoted by the Lu family is relatively secondary, and when grandpa talked to Lu Chengqi that day, he directly asked for a few important positions?"

Cao Zhongyi didn't directly say yes or no, but just praised Cao Yue: "Your brain is more flexible than Xiaozhi." ”

Cao Yue calmly accepted Cao Zhongyi's praise, and asked again: "Grandpa, I think that when I met with Lu Chengqi that day, the Lu family must have agreed to some other conditions, right?"

"Of course," Cao Zhongyi took a sip of tea and said slowly: "Although I look down on businessmen, I agree that the economic base determines the superstructure, and many things cannot be done without the support of strong economic forces." Therefore, the Lu family also gave our Cao family some benefits, and your aunt and your aunt are receiving these. ”

After Cao Zhongyi paused, he asked Cao Yue again: "I heard that you already know that your aunt is the person who your grandfather ordered her to manage your assets for you?"

"Auntie accidentally said something out of her mouth" Cao Yue smiled embarrassedly, and added: "She said it under my questioning." ”

"It's a pity, she's so much older than you, and she's your mother's sister, otherwise it's quite suitable to be your woman, she can manage things, and she can control you. After saying this, Cao Zhongyi didn't give Cao Yue a chance to interject, and continued: "It's okay to know, it's easier to do things in the future." Nie Qing is a rare talent, in terms of economic management, your aunt is not as good as her, treat her well in the future, and important things can also be handed over to her to take care of, at least before she gets married. ”

"Yes, grandpa, I know" Cao Yue hurriedly agreed.

Cao Zhongyi took another sip of tea, and his voice was still slow and logical: "You want to do things yourself, grandpa won't stop you, try anything you want, just try it, Nie Qing will help you, grandpa will also create opportunities for you, I hope you can toss up the results that surprise grandpa." ”

"Grandpa, I understand, as long as it is beneficial to the reputation and interests of the family, I will find a way to try it, anyway, if I can mix up some fame and make some achievements, it will be a good result. There was no accusation of what he did, and he also expressed his support in person, Cao Yue was very pleased, "If there is anything wrong with what you have done, please correct your grandfather." ”

Cao Zhongyi nodded slightly, "Some things you choose by yourself, grandpa will not say whether it is right or wrong, just act according to your own choice." But in the future, if grandpa thinks that you are doing something wrong, he will still stop or point it out. ”

Cao Yue knew that grandpa was referring to the choice of Zheng Han as his wife just now, and immediately grinned: "Grandpa has seen farther than us, as grandchildren, we have done something wrong, you must correct it a lot." ”

Cao Zhongyi glanced at Cao Yue meaningfully: "You should also understand what your grandfather means about your engagement, right?"

"Grandpa, you deliberately let people spread the word that I was going to get engaged to Zheng Han, and then you didn't confirm it, and you didn't explicitly reject the idea of Uncle Li and Uncle Jin marrying, right?" Cao Yue asked in a low voice.

"Those few families fight each other, it's okay to take advantage of it a little, before, grandpa was too old-fashioned, he wanted to go straight to everything, and he didn't want so many twists and turns, and later I learned that many times it is easier to reach the destination by taking detours than by taking a straight line," Cao Zhongyi looked appreciative, "If these are what you think of yourself, it means that your mind is still quite smart." ”

"Thank you grandpa for your teachings. ”

"Okay, grandpa won't tell you some things, and we'll talk together when your parents come back. Cao Zhongyi said, stood up, "After sitting for a long time, my body is tired, go back to the house and take a nap." In the evening, the three of us drank two cups. Last time, your mother brought back a cup of Shaoxing old wine, a ten-year-old Thai carving, and our grandfather drank it. ”

Cao Yue then stood up and promised: "Xiaozhi and I must have a few drinks with grandpa." ”

The grandfather and grandson left the courtyard and walked into the house.

When he was about to walk out of the courtyard, Cao Zhongyi said again: "Tomorrow I will ask Lu Chengqi to drink tea, let your girlfriend perform a tea ceremony, and let that old guy see what the real tea art is." ”

"Yes, grandpa, I'll talk to Hanhan later," Cao Yue was overjoyed.

"This girl is very good, quite similar to your mother," Cao Zhongyi said, and walked directly into the house without waiting for Cao Yue to reply.

When Cao Yue came to the living room, he saw Cao Zhi and Zheng Han sitting on the sofa chatting with his grandmother Xu Li, and hurried over to say hello.

"Xiao Yue," Xu Li grabbed the hand of Cao Yue, who was sitting next to her, and after looking up and down, he asked in a low voice, "Are you okay?"

"It's okay," Cao Yue smiled and shook his head, "Grandma doesn't look at where I came from, how can a few little thieves get me?"

"Don't brag, it's always good to be careful," Xu Li looked disgusted, "Okay, you young people can chat for a while, I'm going to prepare dinner, it's rare for you to have a meal here, my aunt and I will prepare a few more dishes." ”

"Grandma, I'll help, I'll cook," Zheng Han followed and stood up.

"Don't do it, there is an aunt who cooks at home, I just instructed, you are frightened today, take a rest, and let Xiao Yue comfort and comfort you. Xu Li said, and grabbed Zheng Han's hand and patted it, with a loving look.

Zheng Han couldn't insist either, so he sat down again.

"Hanhan, grandpa is going to have tea with the old man of the Lu family tomorrow, and let you go with him to perform the tea art, you can prepare it." ”

"Huh?" Zheng Han was a little surprised, but immediately agreed: "Okay, I'll prepare." ”

"Brother, is Grandpa Yolu drinking tea for today's business?" Cao Zhi on the side asked in a low voice.

"It must have something to do with today's events. Cao Yue nodded, "Our brothers were frightened, and the explanation was planned by the Lu family, so we have to find some face to come back." ”
