Chapter 23: The Test
In the inner hall, Xia Youguo was talking to Du Yang.
I don't know if my grandfather was intentional or unintentional, such a scene is almost the same as what Loutang experienced at the beginning.
"Old Xia, where's Xiao Ai?"
inexplicably received a phone call, and inexplicably only knew that something had happened to Xia Chunai, Du Yang didn't even have time to pack his luggage, bought a plane ticket with an ID card, and came here day and night.
"I'm going to lock her up until she leaves the circle."
Outside the door, the old housekeeper motioned to Xia Chunai to be restless.
"Xia Lao's words make sense, Xiaoai should listen to them."
Xia Chunai snorted with her nose and muttered in a low voice.
"What kind of work does Xia Lao plan to let Xiao Ai do? Can't sit at home every day? β
"My granddaughter Xia Youguo, can't be so useless."
Du Yang was completely relaxed, nodded in agreement: "Xia Xia came back after finishing high school in Canada, although she is good at English and German, but I'm afraid it will be a little difficult to find a suitable job in China." β
He immediately said, "Of course, with Quansheng Group, Xiao Ai can be competent for any position, but she has to follow a bunch of business operations at such an age, which is a little pitiful." β
Xia Lao snorted coldly: "Don't you feel sorry for being a monkey everywhere?" β
Du Yang smiled, "Instead of letting Xiao Aixin stay by Xia Lao's side unwillingly, it is better to let her run into a wall in the entertainment industry, and when she can't get along anymore, she will naturally admit defeat obediently." β
Who wouldn't be able to mess up, Xia Chunai rolled her eyes again.
Xia Youguo glanced meaningfully at the door, and then took out a checkbook.
"I'm going to cancel your marriage with her, how much is it, the Du family can mention it."
"She brought it up?"
Du Yang frowned, but Xia Youguo didn't answer immediately, and he immediately guessed that it wasn't Xia Chunai's meaning.
"What the Du family wants now, whether it is fame or fortune, the provincial group can cooperate, that is, your company, if you want to take the investment of Daquansheng Group, you can also."
Xia Youguo sat upright, "Don't be in a hurry to answer me, think about my words." β
"I'm in love with her." Du Yang pushed the checkbook back again.
Xia Youguo is not in a hurry, "If you insist on going against me, you are going against Quansheng Group, I can't look down on your company, but I can make it no longer able to operate, and your stepfather, your sister who wants to make a name for herself in the entertainment industry, is not worth it for a woman." β
Du Yang was silent.
Outside the door, Xia Chunai was about to leave, she knew that a man could withstand the temptation, but he would not easily give up what he already had.
"I want to see her."
In an unexpected answer, she paused, wondering what he was going to see her do.
"If she doesn't marry me, then I won't be pestering anymore. If she's just not in love with me yet, then I won't back down. β
"Yellow-mouthed child." Du Yang snorted coldly, "Go back and take a good look, and come back to beg me when the time comes." β
Xia Chunai moved towards the back of the pillar, but Du Yang did not notice him, nor did he leave immediately, but turned around and went to the main hall.
The old butler gave her a gentle push and went into the house by himself.
Xia Chunai followed Du Yang to the lobby, where the Bodhisattva was offered in the center of the lobby.
Du Yang put money into the merit incense, but he didn't worship, just looked up at the Bodhisattva.
When he left, Xia Chunai did not appear.
The money in the merit incense had not completely fallen, and when she approached, she found a note on the money.
The note was hastily written, with only four short words: "Keep her safe." β
"Just a thousand yuan, Bodhisattvas are not rare." Xia Chunai muttered, slapping the money and the note into the merit box.
In the evening, she went to see her grandfather.
"I'm leaving."
Xia Youguo snorted coldly and continued to bow his head to study the chess game, until the person behind him left, and the old butler stepped forward.
"Old Xia, finally the eldest lady came to you, why are you bothered."
"Old Xia, we are not young anymore, even if we are rich and rich, how many days do we have to live?"
The chess pieces in Xia Youguo's hand did not fall for a long time, and he looked at the scriptures copied by his side for his daughter for a long time.
The next day, Chu Xia returned to the city, she was not ready to face Du Yang, and the other party took the initiative to find her.
At noon, when she was about to go downstairs to eat, she ran into Du Yang, who was obviously waiting
"I knew you would forget to eat, get in the car, and take you to eat crayfish."
Xia Chun Ai Leng was on the spot, "You? β
The other party opened the door for her and urged: "Remember the apology with me before, I generally don't accept verbal apologies, I must make up for it in substance, get in the car, I'm hungry if you're not hungry." β
Du Yang didn't say a word about the things on the mountain, and Xia Chunai pretended not to know, her agreement with her grandfather was not so much a gamble, but that she wanted to tear off Du Yang's mask and kindly divide him into a hill of raccoon dogs.
As soon as Xia Chunai got into the co-pilot, he took out a Chanel lipstick from the driver's seat, and Du Yang was a little embarrassed to throw it out of the window, "Ahem, this is left by a woman before." β
"I don't care."
The car came to a halt, she leaned forward sharply, and the seat belt pulled her back into place.
"No," Du Yang's eyes were blazing, "I can't do it." β
"That's not what you say." Xia Chunai pursed her lips and deliberately put the topic aside.
There are a lot of people in the crayfish restaurant, and the fried spicy crayfish is served, both of them have some index fingers, put on disposable gloves and start to eat, and after a while, a stack of high shrimp shells is piled up on the table.
After eating a pound of shrimp until there was one left, Du Yang quickly sandwiched it into the bowl and said triumphantly: "Please, beg me, I'll give you something to eat." β
Xia Chunai took off her gloves, "Are you so naΓ―ve?" β
Du Yang plucked the shrimp shell, dipped it in the sauce again, and then gave her the shrimp meat, "It's really uncooperative, I'll give it to you." β
Of course, Xia Chunai was not polite, and he picked it up and sent it to his mouth.
"You're really not going to attend your Heyday Group anniversary celebration?" Du Yang brought up the matter again.
This time, Xia Chunai didn't make a decision so quickly. , to save Xinchen can only rely on herself. If it is usual, there is absolutely no way to compete with my grandfather, but now it is different, my grandfather only has 40% of the shares, if you can know where your mother's 40% shares are, then even if the other party is your grandfather, you can fight it.
And she has always felt that maybe her mother's 40% stake is related to her, and she should go back to the house this time anyway, maybe she can find a breakthrough.
"What are you thinking? A new method of protest? Du Yang stared at her.
Xia Chunai glanced at him, and already had a plan in his heart, he must go to this anniversary celebration, but he can't go with Du Yang, he is his grandfather's person after all, and the first thing to rule out is him.
"It's nothing, I just ate the divergent thinking, I won't go this time, there's nothing to go."
Seeing that she was so insistent, Du Yang didn't say anything, and sent the person back to the apartment after paying the bill.
"Thank you for dinner." Xia Chunai opened the door, and was suddenly stopped, "Come over and open your mouth." β
"Do what?" She didn't know why.
Du Yang urged: "Don't worry, I won't kiss you, hurry up and open your mouth." β
What are these words, as if she was urging a kiss, Xia Chunai's eyes widened, she opened her mouth closer, and a small pink ball was stuffed into her mouth.
A sweet and sour sensation spreads, and the mouth is filled with the taste of oranges.
"Didn't you say that you had to eat? This is a stomach digesting tablet, and your stomach will feel better if you eat it. β
Xia Chunai picked it with the tip of his tongue, "Thank you." β
"If you want to say thank you, why don't you invite me to sit down?" Du Yang thought to himself, now there is no reason to refuse.
"There's no need."
As long as they can't stand the test, the two of them won't have a day of development, so they don't need to do it at all.
"The company has rules." She lied
"It also stipulates that you newcomers, where can other big names be fooled by these rules and regulations." Du Yang knew that many companies did have various rules and regulations, so he was not reluctant, and drove away after saying goodnight.
When she couldn't hear the sound of the car, Xia Chunai turned around and entered the corridor, just in time to see the building leaning against the wall, holding the car keys in her hand.
Since that day, the two have not seen each other for many days.
"Mr. Lou."
Lou Tang was stunned and hid the bitterness at the corners of his mouth.
"You're in a relationship?"
"Of course not, we're just ordinary friends." Xia Chunai explained.
Lou Tang's expression was very serious, "The love of celebrities is not only about themselves, any emotional problems need to be communicated with the company in advance, you are very smart, you should be able to understand, and similar to things that will cause misunderstandings, it is best to avoid them." β
Xia Chunai guessed that he saw the previous picture, and knew that he was right, many fans of the opposite sex went to the star, once they knew that the star was in love or married, they would resist and stop paying attention to it today.
But now that these words came out of his mouth, it was ironic.
Lou Tang knew what she wanted to hear.
"A fan almost broke into Xinchen's house in the middle of the night."
"Someone is making trouble, Sister Xinchen is fine!" Xia Chunai was in a hurry, and couldn't help grabbing his arm, now in this situation, the fans have no intention of pouring salt on Sister Xinchen's heart.
Lou Tang lowered his head, and the latter quickly let go after realizing it.
Lou Tang saw her let go, but her heart hurt.
"Xiao Ai, I will soon be the head of Greater China, and one day, I can protect you." His eyes were heavy, and he couldn't let go of Xia Chunai.
"No, it won't." Xia Chunai said softly: "You can't fight my grandfather." β
"Do you know why I can't marry you?!"
Lou Tang wrapped his arms around her shoulders, and he was anxious like never before.
He gave up the love between the two and wanted to get the good.
"If you insist on marrying me, you can get more than just the president of Greater China."
Mom's 40% stake is a variable for the heyday group.
Lou Tang knew that he couldn't go back, but he returned to a serious appearance.
"I'm still the boss of NO ONE, you can come to me if you have something, if you want."
Xia Chunai was a little hesitant, although she had decided to participate in the anniversary celebration of the Quansheng Group, but the celebration required both men and women to attend, and it was a good idea to use the building, but if you really want to do this, if there is an accident at that time, the other party may also be implicated.
"It's up to you to say it or not." Lou Tang didn't show much curiosity.
"I'm going to go to Quansheng Group's anniversary celebration this time."
"Okay, I'll get in touch with your temporary agent and ask her to get this day out." The conversation changed, "I remember that the standard for participation is to go with a companion, have you already found someone?" β
Xia Chunai shook her head, she was just worried about this matter, who else could do it?
"If you don't find anyone, consider me." Lou Tang's eyes widened suddenly when he saw her, and he smiled slightly, "Let me atone for my sins."
