Chapter 70: The Old Man Never Helps People Unconditionally
Tang Hulu led the two young men to walk in the Tang family's private manor.
The artificial lake is surrounded by green willows and the spring breeze is particularly pleasant. But this kind of scenery can't soothe Shang Yuetang's anxious mood.
And Tang Hulu deliberately looked at Shang Yuetang, but deliberately did not speak.
"The weather is really good today, I remember someone sent two fish in the morning, girl, do you like braised or steamed?"
Shang Yuetang was worried about the declining stock price of Wanshang Group, and only then did he come back to his senses when he heard Tang Hulu's question.
"It's good for Grandpa Tang to take an idea, in fact, halal braised has its own benefits. I like them all, but it still depends on the level of the cook. ”
"Oh, you girl can talk. The young ones are very transparent. Tang Hulu glanced at the sky, "I'll go to the kitchen and take a look." ”
"Hey, don't go, I'll ...... your old man is gone" Shang Yuetang didn't have time to stop Tang Hulu, and the old man left like that, leaving the heroine and grandson both in place.
The man looked at the woman's fair skin, which could be broken by blowing, and the hair that fluttered gently in the wind had a little hazy heartbeat.
"You're beautiful."
Hearing the other party's praise, the heroine turned her head and looked at the young man in front of her, he was about the same age as Shang Muyan, about one or two years old.
But somehow, she has a feeling of being difficult to get close to and hating this man.
"Thank you, but girls dress up beautifully." Shang Yuetang said lightly and smiled politely.
"I haven't introduced myself yet, my name is Tang Xiyan." The young man didn't seem to feel Shang Yuetang's indifference, and stretched out a hand, "It's nice to meet you." ”
Shang Yuetang frowned slightly and stretched out his hand. "yes, luckily."
Tang Xiyan didn't seem to be willing to withdraw his hand, Shang Yuetang secretly cursed a hooligan in his heart, and then smiled gently, "It's time to eat, right?" I'm hungry. ”
"I'll take you to the restaurant." Tang Xiyan withdrew his hand, looked at Shang Yuetang, his eyes were full of playfulness, and turned around to lead her to the corridor.
The maids along the way nodded when they saw Shang Yuetang, "Hello young master, hello Miss Yuetang." ”
The disciplined unified greeting is different from Shang Xingyu's preference for private residences - there is not too much area, there are not too many people to serve, and this kind of pomp and circumstance is obviously much larger.
Although she didn't like that house, Shang Yuetang didn't like too many idle people, which made her feel a little upset.
Tang Hulu's living room is hung with many famous calligraphy and paintings, which is particularly simple. Shang Yuetang followed Tang Xiyan to the restaurant and took a seat, the old man looked at the two of them a little apart from each other, there was nothing on his face, he took a sip of Longjing and smiled.
"Come over for dinner, just in time, I asked them to make sweet and sour fish according to the taste of the southerners, and the Yuetang girl tasted it."
Shang Yuetang and Tang Xiyan sat next to Tang Hulu respectively.
Shang Yuetang was thinking about how to mention Wanshang's current predicament, only to hear that Tang Hulu had already started chopsticks on the side, "It's lively today, the old man hasn't been so happy for a long time." ”
Tang Hulu pays attention to pomp, and the dishes are divided into cold dishes, meat, vegetarian and dessert, which are chilled kale, cold cut door cavity, glutinous rice and red dates, and hot dishes are sweet and sour fish, roast pork neck, eight-treasure duck, and black-bone chicken soup, which is just right to make up the chicken, duck and fish, and there are also a few vegetarian dishes, which are also made with color and fragrance, which makes people appetize.
The amount of dishes is not very large, but it is exquisite.
Even if Shang Yuetang had followed Shang Xingyu around to participate in the dinner in his last life, such a meticulous and beautiful dish was quite rare, and he immediately praised a few words, "Grandpa Tang's things are very elegant, not to mention Zhang Daqian's handwriting, these tables and chairs alone are antiques from the Song and Yuan dynasties." Although these dishes can be ordered in ordinary restaurants, when they arrive at Grandpa Tang's table, the taste is different. ”
Tang Hu Lu smiled, "I'm looking for a chef from an old restaurant, who uses the old way to make it, and the current dishes are all innovative, I'm old bones, and I like old things." Only people, I like to be young. ”
Shang Yuetang nodded and did not answer. Pick up a piece of sweet and sour fish, "It's delicious." ”
Killing her won't say that everything she eats now tastes like chewing wax, okay?
In fact, she felt that the old man was clear about his little abacus in his heart, but the old man didn't seem to speak, and he didn't give her a reason to mention this topic.
Shang Yuetang patiently finished eating, and Tang Hulu took her and her grandson to the tea room again.
"Spring is the best time of the year. Don't look at this tea called Four Seasons Spring, it is still the best to drink in these two months. Tang Hulu picked up the teacup, blew the leaves, and smacked, "Taste, old man, I love to drink strong tea, you young people, I asked people to brew a lot lighter, taste it, it's good to consume food after meals." ”
Shang Yuetang picked up the teacup, looked at the tea that was as clear as flowing gold after being filtered, and took a few sips with a smile, it was indeed fresh and sweet.
"It's really good, it's lighter than the top of the cave, it's good to relieve greasy food, I drink Lu'an melon slices at home. Grandpa Tang went back and got me some tea, and the next time my father came back from the wine party, I would make him a hangover. ”
At this point, Tang Hulu looked at Shang Yuetang, and finally laughed, "Hmph, you girl is quite calm." I'm still waiting for you to talk to me about Wanshang, but you didn't even mention it. ”
Shang Yuetang remained silent, took another sip of tea, lowered his head and said softly, "Grandpa Tang knows my intention, what else can I say?" If you don't have anything to do, you can guess what I want you to do? ”
Tang Hulu nodded, "Wanshang's stock price has fallen so much, do you want me to buy the part that was sold, first, to control the stock price, and secondly, when that kid from Shangxingyu is discharged from the hospital, he can buy it back from the old man and me, and grasp more shares, do you think so?" ”
Shang Yuetang panicked for a while in her heart, and even felt a chill behind her back, she only planned to analyze the first reason, and persuaded Tang Hulu to consider her own interests with the position of both prosperity and loss. But the real purpose is indeed to hope that the firm can grasp a higher equity in the later stage.
But Tang Hulu completely saw through himself.
"Sure enough, Jiang is still old and spicy, my little Jiujiu, where can I hide it from your old man?" Shang Yuetang lowered her head and smiled coquettishly like a quail.
It's better to pretend to be stupid at this time.
Tang Hulu said quickly, "Now 20% of the stocks will flow out, at least one billion." I have money, old man, but if the younger generations of the merchants are not angry, it will be a matter of a few weeks for the merchants to fall. One billion is not a lot of money, but the old man never helps people unconditionally. ”
Analyzing it well, Shang Yuetang knew that Tang Hulu was going to put forward conditions. But she said in her heart that she had no bargaining chips at all, and she didn't have the right to speak at all. Xin said that he planned to let Tang Hulu put forward the conditions first, and then went back to ask Shang Xingyu if he could do it.
"You keep saying, but I'm not qualified to make an idea."
"You say you're a strange girl, and I feel sorry for you, old man, when I see you. Probably because Shang Xingyu's junior is too unruly, but you are very well-behaved and docile. To be honest, I like you very much, old man, or you ask Shang Xingyu to marry his baby daughter to our Tang family, I will allocate a few hundred million to buy 10% of the stocks, and after getting married, it will be transferred to the name of my Tang family's daughter-in-law, how about it? ”
Shang Yuetang was stunned in place, not knowing how to speak.
This old man, is this coercing and enticing her to get married?
Come on! Although she is an older mature woman at heart, she is only 16 years old now, okay?! 16 years old!
Abduction and trafficking of minors!
