"Huh?" Liu Siqi's body was shocked, and a trace of panic flashed in her eyes, but she quickly calmed down: "Dad, why do you say that?" ”

Seeing the change in Liu Siqi's expression, Liu Haitao's brows furrowed even deeper: "Is what I said true?" ”

"I ......" Liu Siqi just wanted to speak, but was interrupted by Liu Haitao.

"Siqi, I'm your father, the person who loves you the most in the world, I hope you don't lie to me." Liu Haitao said slowly.

Liu Siqi bit her lip and said softly, "Dad, can I not answer your question?" ”

"No, you have to answer me." Liu Haitao said non-negotiable.

Liu Siqi frowned and did not speak.

"Siqi, I'm your father, what can't you say to me?" Liu Haitao said in a deep voice.

"I ...... I'm afraid you'll get angry. Liu Siqi whispered.

"You say, Dad promises not to be angry." Liu Haitao assured.

Liu Siqi raised her head and looked at Liu Haitao: "Dad, are you really not angry?" No matter what I say, you're not angry? ”

Liu Haitao reached out and touched Liu Siqi's head: "You are my only daughter, and you are also the spiritual pillar of my life in this world, I work hard every day, all for you, Dad said selflessly, I can do anything for you." ”

"Daddy." Liu Siqi stretched out her hand to hug Liu Haitao, and said in a choked voice: "I can have you as a good father, which is the greatest blessing in my life." ”

"Silly girl, it's also my blessing that my father can have such a well-behaved and beautiful daughter as you." Liu Haitao had a loving smile on his face.

Liu Siqi let go of Liu Haitao, sat up straight, and took a soft breath: "Dad, you guessed right, I do like big brothers." ”

After listening to Liu Siqi's words, Liu Haitao's face suddenly became gloomy.

Seeing Liu Haitao's face change, Liu Siqi suddenly became nervous: "Dad, you just said that you weren't angry." ”

Liu Haitao shook his head: "I'm not angry...... It's just that...... Siqi, the gap between your identity and Ma Xiaoyao is too big, and you can't be together. ”

"Dad, what age is this, the concept of being the right person has long been unimportant, the big brother is good, I just like him." Liu Siqi said stubbornly.

Liu Haitao's cheeks twitched a few times: "Okay, let's not talk about the identity gap between you and Ma Xiaoyao, let's talk about your age gap, Ma Xiaoyao is almost thirty years old this year, you are only fourteen years old, your age difference is almost doubled, to put it mildly, Ma Xiaoyao can be your uncle, the age gap is so big, how can you be together?" ”

Liu Siqi pouted: "Isn't there a teenage difference?" When grandpa and grandma got married, they were still in their twenties, aren't they still very happy after marriage? So, the age gap is not a problem at all. Liu Siqi's grandfather is a soldier, participated in the Anti-Japanese War, and after the peaceful liberation, Liu Siqi's grandfather was almost fifty years old, at that time was still a single, and then by chance, Liu Siqi's grandfather got acquainted with a female nurse, after several contacts, the female nurse fell in love with Liu Siqi's grandfather, the female nurse was only twenty years old at the time, more than twenty years younger than Liu Siqi's grandfather, the two got along for a few months, and received a marriage certificate.

"You...... You girl, how did you pull out your grandfather and grandmother......" Liu Haitao said angrily.

"The facts I said, the example of grandpa and grandma have proved that the age gap is not a problem at all." Liu Siqi said firmly.

"You...... You're really going to me off......" Liu Siqi moved his grandfather and grandmother out, so that Liu Haitao couldn't argue at all.

Liu Siqi flattened her mouth: "Dad, you promised not to be angry just now." ”

"You ......" Liu Haitao was suddenly so angry that he couldn't speak.

At this time, Liu Siqi came over, reached out and gently hugged Liu Haitao's arm: "Dad, how nice the big brother is, why don't you agree with me being with him?" ”

"Alas......" Liu Haitao sighed: "Siqi, you are still young, some things don't know at all, I admit that Ma Xiaoyao is a good young man, courageous and capable, but his family is too inferior, and his social status is not high, and you are fundamentally from two worlds, you ......"

"Dad, I find that you are becoming more and more snobbish now, you were not like this before." Liu Siqi frowned: "Didn't you be very poor back then?" You are also working hard to achieve today's achievements, the big brother's achievements are low now, but he is still young, and he will definitely get ahead in the future. ”

Liu Haitao shook his head with a wry smile: "Siqi, you think things are too simple, my father can achieve today, in addition to his own efforts, more rely on the help of your grandfather's comrades-in-arms, if it were not for their help, I would never have today's status, so if a person wants to succeed, it is not enough to rely on his own efforts, and he also needs the help of nobles." Liu Haitao has a deep understanding of the current situation of society over the years, and now this society is the law of the jungle, you have no ability, no background, you will only be bullied by the strong, and you will never be able to turn over.

"Dad, you can be the eldest brother's nobleman, if you help each other, the eldest brother will definitely get ahead." Liu Siqi said with a smile.

Liu Haitao was stunned for a moment, and then shook his head: "Ma Xiaoyao is mixed with officialdom, and I am mixed with shopping malls, which is not a field at all, how can I help him?" ”

"Don't you know a lot of big officials? You go and talk to those big officials, let them promote the big brother. Liu Siqi was quite thoughtful.

Liu Haitao smiled: "Siqi, the rules of officialdom are different from the rules of shopping malls, for example, if I appreciate a young man, I can directly let him be a manager, but officialdom is not good, people in officialdom generally look at qualifications or political achievements, without qualifications and achievements, it is absolutely impossible to be promoted. ”

"Huh? It's so complicated in officialdom. Liu Siqi frowned.

"Officialdom is only going to be more complicated than you think." Liu Haitao said.

Liu Siqi pondered for a moment, and a smile appeared on his face again: "Dad, since you can't ask about officialdom, then just let the big brother mess up the mall, and at that time, you can help the big brother without any scruples, right?" ”

"What do you mean?" Liu Haitao didn't understand for a while.

"Let the big brother get out of the officialdom and come to the shopping mall, it's best for you to find a position for the big brother in the hotel, isn't that okay?" Liu Siqi said with a smile.

Liu Haitao really didn't know what to say.

"Dad? Why don't you speak? Liu Siqi asked suspiciously.

Liu Haitao licked his dry lips: "Siqi, are you sure that Ma Xiaoyao will leave the officialdom and come to the shopping mall?" ”

"Of course, people go to high places, since officialdom is so difficult to mix, come to the shopping mall, with the help of a big businessman like you, the big brother must be very good in the shopping mall." Liu Siqi said with a smile.

"Siqi, if I didn't pour cold water on you, Ma Xiaoyao probably won't leave the officialdom." Liu Haitao said lightly.

"Why are you so sure that Big Brother won't leave officialdom?" Liu Siqi didn't believe Liu Haitao's words at all.

Liu Haitao looked at Liu Siqi: "Siqi, although officialdom is difficult to mix, it is a place that men dream of, although I don't have much contact with Ma Xiaoyao, but I can also see that Ma Xiaoyao is a very ambitious person, he has finally gained a firm foothold in officialdom, and now he will definitely not leave officialdom lightly." ”

"Isn't it the same to get ahead in the mall?" Liu Siqi asked rhetorically.

Liu Haitao shook his head: "The shopping mall is good, but it is far worse than the officialdom, Siqi, you have to be clear about one thing, the status of officials is much higher than that of businessmen, for example, don't look at your father is now thriving, and his social status seems to be quite high, if government officials want to rectify me, it is estimated that it will take a few months, and I will go bankrupt." ”

"No, it won't." Liu Siqi's eyes suddenly widened.

"Siqi, don't underestimate the ability of officials, it's too easy for them to rectify a businessman." Liu Haitao said earnestly.

Liu Siqi blinked her eyes wide: "Dad, are you thinking too much?" You haven't done anything bad, so why should those officials rectify you? It doesn't make sense! ”

"Reason?" Liu Haitao snorted coldly: "In these years, the truth is in the hands of the powerful, and the rules they make are the truth." Speaking of this, Liu Haitao paused: "Siqi, you know too little about officials, they don't need too many reasons if they want to rectify a person, as long as you don't like your eyes, you can move your mouth casually, so you can't eat and walk around, so there has been a saying since ancient times, called the people do not fight with the officials, and the businessmen are also the people, nothing more than the people who live better, so the businessmen do not dare to offend the officials, and similarly, if there are officials who are willing to defend you, then your position in the shopping mall will be much more stable, these years, I've been trying to make friends with those high-ranking officials, constantly entertaining and giving gifts, flattering, and the effect is generally okay, and many high-ranking officials have a good impression of me, and under their protection, I have a lot of fun in the shopping mall. ”

Liu Siqi was directly stunned, the words that Liu Haitao said to her today completely broke her previous understanding.

"Siqi, this society is very complicated, what you usually see is just some fur, when you grow up in the future, you will definitely take over my business, at that time, you will really get in touch with all levels of society, your temperament is too soft, you will definitely suffer in the future, so from now on, I will try to sharpen your temperament, so that you can be independent, even if your father is gone, you can live well......" Liu Haitao said earnestly.
