Past Life: Meeting is Lifetime Chapter 123: Refusal to Negotiate (Part II)
"As you said, we are trying to find a way to save Captain Xiao," Su Nuo pushed back Mrs. Xiao's words without giving an inch, "but for now, with the limited wisdom of the three of us, the best and most effective way we can think of is for you to negotiate directly with the workers, or you can state the conditions and we will come forward to negotiate with the workers, we can't think of a better way,"
Yue Qian was very angry with Su Nuo's needle-point attitude towards Mai Mang, but she still had to try her best to show her calm family temperament, "I have just said that I will not negotiate with those workers, I don't want to say the same thing a second time, you must work out other more effective ways to save Xiao Yue, if necessary, you can also use force, after all, you are a co-in-force,"
Su Nuo began to lose her breath, she couldn't bear that Madame Xiao could treat the lives of civilians with such contempt, "Do you really want us to fight hard with the workers?" You know, this will kill and injure a lot of people, but in your eyes, the lives of those people are not as good as the requirements of the negotiated agreement? ”
The anger in her heart made Su Nuo no longer able to maintain a superficial calm, her two hands were clenched into fists and trembled, the wound on her arm was also torn open due to muscle tension, and blood continued to flow out of the wound, and even penetrated into the sleeve of her coat, but at this moment everyone didn't notice this, not even Su Nuo himself.
But one person noticed. Not only did the man notice this, but he also listened to the conversation between Su Nuo and Madame Xiao.
This man saw everything in his eyes and heard it in his ears, and he felt that it was impossible to talk about the results if this continued, so he planned to go out and stop their-for-tat conversation.
Just as the two sides were at an impasse, a man walked in through another door in the living room. This person is the person who has been listening to their conversation just now, and he is Xiao Mu, the current supreme ruler of the Xiao family.
Xiao Mu was not in a hurry, calmly walked to the side of the four people, quickly glanced at all of them, and then turned around and said the first sentence, "Gu Hong, call our family's doctor and show this Captain Su the wound,"
"You are," Su Nuo couldn't help but stand up from his chair in awe when he saw the gentleman in front of him with an extraordinary temperament and good manners, instructing the servants of the Xiao family to ask for a doctor for him.
"I'm Xiao Mu," Xiao Mu introduced himself, "It's Xiao Yue's uncle and the current head of the Xiao family,"
"You are Mr. Xiao!" Su Nuo looked at the middle-aged man who approached him in surprise.
"Hello, Mr. Xiao!" Du Ye also stepped forward and saluted, "I'm Du Ye,"
"It turns out that you are Du Ye, the youngest son of the Du family," Xiao Mu turned to Du Ye to welcome, "I have always heard that the youngest son of the Du family is in the same team as Xiao Yue, but I didn't expect it to be true!" You are welcome to come to our home! ”
"Hello, Mr. Xiao," and then Zhen Ni also saluted Xiao Mu, "I'm Zhen Ni,"
"The Zhen family," Xiao Mu turned to Zhen Ni again, "Is it the Zhen family that almost monopolizes the aerospace industry now?" ”
"Yes, but you're exaggerating," Jenny said humbly.
"Oh!" Xiao Mu looked very happy, "Zhen Ni, the only daughter of the Zhen family, is actually also in the team!" You are also welcome to come to our house! ”
"Hello," Su Nuo said to Xiao Mu one last time, "I'm Su Nuo, and it's an honor to meet you." "For the Academy
"Hello," Xiao Mu turned and walked in front of Su Nuo, "Nice to meet you, I've already met, haven't I?" There is also Xiao Yue's injury, I don't think you have to take it to heart all the time, I believe that Xiao Yue did this for his reasons, you don't have to feel sorry for him at all, as long as you can get along well in the future, I will be happy as an uncle,"
"Thank you, thank you for your concern," Su Nuo lowered her head and saw the wound on her arm, she used her other hand to cover the blood stains oozing from the wound, "Xiao Yue, he must tell you that I am not from a family, just an orphan who doesn't know who my parents are, many people think that a person of my status is not qualified to stand here and talk to you at all, so do you also think I can be with Xiao Yue?" ”
"The doctor is here," Xiao Mu didn't directly answer Su Nuo's words, "You go and treat the wound first, otherwise others will say that our Xiao family has neglected the guests if they find out!" ”
Su Nuo obediently followed the doctor to the next room. Throughout the process of treating the wound, Su Nuo's mind kept on Mr. Xiao's loving and noble face, as well as Mr. Xiao's words.
Su Nuo never felt that these families were any different from commoners. The only difference is that the family has money, while the commoner has no money, that's all. But today, Mr. Xiao's words and deeds made her feel the real temperament of everyone.
Su Nuo sighed from the bottom of his heart that that was the real family. Words and deeds are both respectable and intimidating, and at the same time they do not lose their affinity. For the first time, Su Nuo felt the distance between himself and such a family, and felt that he was completely a person of different rank from Mr. Xiao, and he could not and was not qualified to negotiate terms with him on an equal footing.
Su Nuo felt that she was unprecedentedly small, and she felt that she would definitely return in vain this time, and her mood was also low to the bottom.
"Captain Su, how is it, have the wounds been treated?" Xiao Mu saw Su Nuo and their doctor come out together.
"Thank you, Mr. Xiao, my injuries are out of the way, and you can call me Su Nuo, you don't need to call me Captain Su," Su Nuo felt in his heart that Mr. Xiao was completely different from the family he had come into contact with before, because he was sincerely caring about others.
"Well, that's good," Xiao Mu motioned for her to sit next to her.
During this period, Yue Qian just watched coldly and did not say a word.
Xiao Mu added a seat for himself between Su Nuo and Yue Qian, with an unobstructed view of the entire living room, and he was obviously happy with the position.
After Su Nuo also sat down, the topic just now continued.
Du Ye spoke first, "Mr. Xiao, just now we talked to Mrs. Xiao about the best way for us to rescue Captain Xiao is to negotiate directly with the workers, but obviously Mrs. Xiao does not agree with our method,"
"So I think it's time for you to come up with an idea, whether you are the current supreme ruler of the Xiao family, or the elder of Captain Xiao, you have to get an idea for us,"
"This is a great responsibility," Xiao Mu took a sip of black tea, and said his thoughts unhurriedly, "As the supreme leader of the Xiao family, I am not very willing to negotiate with the workers, which will cause the interests of the Xiao family to suffer,"
Xiao Mu observed the expressions of the three squad leaders as he spoke, "But if as Xiao Yue's uncle, I should be obliged to negotiate with the workers, and I want to bring Xiao Yue back at any cost, which makes me very conflicted, since I learned that Xiao Yue was held hostage by the striking workers, I have been thinking about this issue,"
"Have you made up your mind now, Mr. Xiao?" Su Nuo wanted to know what Mr. Xiao, who was sitting in front of him, thought.
