Chapter 433: Unequal Negotiations
Yan Xiaotian walked straight to an old man sitting upright, this person looked about the same age as the old master, with gorgeous hair, the wrinkles on his face were as deep as the ravines on the loess slope, his eyes were very small, and at the same time very deep, always giving people a gloomy feeling.
Yan Xiaotian walked up to him, bowed his body to ninety degrees, and still bowed his hand respectfully: "Second Elder." ”
The old man snorted lightly from his nose and said, "Don't dare to be, you are now the great savior of the Cao family and the great savior of Baiwu Mountain!" How dare I accept your courtesy? ”
At this time, the Elder of the Hidden World spoke: "Also, the title of Lao Cao, the elder, is actually an agent, and he really shouldn't receive such a big gift." ”
Hearing the words of the Hidden Elder, the old man looked at the Hidden Elder with an incredible look and couldn't say a word.
The words of the Hidden Elder just now had already indicated his force field.
He was on Yan Xiaotian's side.
When Yan Xiaotian heard the words of the Hidden Elder, he straightened up, but he still arched his hand towards the old man: "Second Master Cao." ”
The old man looked at the hermit elder with an expressionless face, and then at Yan Xiaotian with a smile on his face, and did not make any response for a long time.
At this time, Mrs. Cao also spoke: "Second child, the child is talking to you." ”
I couldn't see what kind of mood the expression on the old man's face was expressing now, he got up from his seat, stared at Mrs. Cao, and said in a trembling voice: "Sister-in-law, why don't you even ......?"
Mrs. Cao let out a breath of turbidity and said to him: "Second brother, over the years, although I have interfered in the affairs of the family, I know most of the things you have done. I also know that you have done these things for the good of the Cao family, but we can't let Baiwu Mountain fall into the mud for the sake of the Cao family, this is forgetting our roots. At this juncture, someone can help us with virtue to repay grievances, and we are not happy to repay virtue with grievances. ”
Second Master Cao stretched out a hand at this time, nodded at my side, and said to Mrs. Cao: "But this is not only a matter of Baiwu Mountain, sister-in-law, this child is a person who is upright." What kind of relationship is between our Baiwushan and Shouzheng Yimai, you should know very well, right? ”
The Elder of the Hidden World cleared his throat and spoke: "Guarding the righteous line has nothing to do with Baiwu Mountain, it is you elders who force Baiwu Mountain to be enemies of others. Why do you want to make Baiwu Mountain and Jisoul Village enemies, you and I know the Tao here. Over the years, you have made trouble for the Soul Village, but have you ever found trouble in Baiwu Mountain? ”
Cao Erye said: "Just a few years ago, Zhao Zongxin, who is in the Yuxian lineage, dug a corner from under the Baiwu Mountain Gate and robbed the disciples who should have entered the Baiwu Mountain Gate. ”
Mrs. Cao: "There is still such a thing? Whose disciple is he robbing? ”
As soon as he heard this, Cao Erye began to be sloppy: "I don't know about this." ”
Of course, he will not say the sensitive name "Zhao Dekai" now.
I responded for him: "Second Master Cao is talking about my nephew Xiao Renya, she was originally a closed disciple of Zhao Dekai. ”
Mrs. Cao nodded: "Well, it's a good robbery, fortunately I didn't let this kid go to Zhao Dekai's hands, otherwise, I don't know what he would have become." ”
Is she scolding Zhao Dekai, or is she scolding Yan Xiaotian? You must know that Yan Xiaotian is also Zhao Dekai's apprentice.
Of course, Yan Xiaotian could hear the meaning of Mrs. Cao's words, but he was thick-skinned enough, and his face still did not change, and after hearing Mrs. Cao's words, he nodded very seriously.
Regardless of whether Mrs. Cao's words were ironic to Yan Xiaotian, Second Master Cao couldn't say anything anymore, he should have seen that whether it was the Hidden Elder or Mrs. Cao, they were clearly biased in favor of our side.
Second Master Cao sat back on the chair and stared at the ground.
It seemed that the situation was completely beyond his imagination. Before, he probably thought that no matter how much the Cao family declined, he would at least have room for bargaining when facing Yan Xiaotian. If he really had this kind of thought, it was just wishful thinking on his part, for so many years, they, the Elders, had already torn their faces with the old master in order to control Baiwu Mountain.
Yan Xiaotian is now coming back to collect debts, he saved the Cao family for Baiwu Mountain, but even so, the Cao family still has to pay it back. Even if there was no Elder Yin and Mrs. Cao, he would not let Second Master Cao have a chance to bargain with him, just like the old master had no capital to bargain with the Elders.
Second Master Cao stared at the ground, but Yan Xiaotian kept staring at him.
The Hidden Elder waved his hand at Yan Xiaotian: "Xiaotian, hurry up and get down to business." ”
Yan Xiaotian nodded respectfully, then took out the contract he had prepared last night from his briefcase, and handed the contract to Second Master Cao.
But Second Master Cao was still in a daze, completely unaware that the contract had arrived in front of him. And Yan Xiaotian was not in a hurry to urge him, just holding the contract in both hands and standing quietly aside.
After about a minute or two, Mrs. Cao spoke: "Second brother, you should take a look at the contract." ”
Cao Erye came back to his senses a little and took the contract given to him by Yan Xiaotian, he scanned the contents of the contract at a very fast speed, turning page by page.
I don't know what Yan Xiaotian wrote on this so-called contract, I only know that the contract is very thick, when Cao Erye turned to the last page, he sighed and asked Yan Xiaotian without raising his head: "Do you have a pen?" ”
Yan Xiaotian immediately took out a gel pen from his briefcase and handed it to Second Master Cao.
Second Master Cao didn't say a word of nonsense from beginning to end, and after signing it, he took the seal of the Cao family from Mrs. Cao and the red seal on the contract, and after that, Yan Xiaotian also signed and signed it.
After signing the contract, the affairs of the Cao family came to an end, and the forces that Zhao Dekai had worked hard to establish in the local area also fell into the hands of Yan Xiaotian because of this paper contract.
Elder Yin Shi said that the Cao family still has some internal matters to deal with, so let's go and take care of our own affairs first. He is helping Mrs. Cao to issue an eviction order.
Now that everyone has driven us away, we can't be cheeky anymore to stay, besides, the Cao family does have some clan affairs to deal with now, don't forget, the leaders of the Shaozhuang faction are still in custody.
When he walked out of Cao's house, Yan Xiaotian, who had been wearing a fake face, suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, he patted his briefcase with a smile, and said to me: "Seriously, I have never had such an easy life as today." ”
I also smiled, and Liang Houzai said on the side: "It is estimated that you will only be relaxed today, as more and more clans are controlled by you, the things in the future will become more and more troublesome." By the way, Zhao Dekai's local power should be more than just a Cao family, don't forget that there is a miracle training class in your business building. ”
Yan Xiaotian suddenly frowned: "Miracle training class? How do you know about such a place? ”
Liang Houzai smiled: "Liu Shangang can even figure out where your house is, can't we still figure out what is near your company?" Although the matter of the Cao family has been resolved, Zhao Dekai's local power is far from being completely subverted by you, so you'd better contact Mrs. Cao in an hour and ask her to tell the Cao family not to reveal the matter of them joining forces with you. On the surface, they still have to follow Zhao Dekai, and they still do what Zhao Dekai asks them to do, except when Zhao Dekai asks them to spy on you. ”
Yan Xiaotian thought for a moment and asked, "Why wait an hour later?" ”
Liang Houzai said: "Because in this hour, Mrs. Cao is still dealing with Cao Hongbin and their affairs, at this time, it is best for you not to contact her, and be implicated by her anger." ”
Yan Xiaotian nodded, and asked again, "But I don't have Mrs. Cao's phone." ”
Liu Shangang: "I have." ”
Yan Xiaotian was stunned for a moment, his gaze first shifted to Liu Shangang's side, then to Liang Houzai, and finally he looked at me and said to himself: "Damn!" ”
I don't understand what he's lamenting either.
After that, Yan Xiaotian took us into his car, and he forgot to mention that his Hummer had been replaced by a cheap van at this time, which was just enough to accommodate us people.
When I saw him driving a van at that time, I thought that he deliberately changed the car in order to carry so many people at one time, but later I learned that after signing a contract with the Cao family, he had to pay the Cao family millions in advance, so after he returned to the local area, he immediately sold his Hummer and sold two local properties. At that time, we had just set off to Cao's house.
Sometimes I really feel that Yan Xiaotian's trust in us is really incredible.
After we got in the car, we kept waiting, although I wanted to go to the city hospital to see Liang Zi, but Yan Xiaotian also said that there are many industries of the Cao family in the hospital, Liang Houzai estimates that now the Cao family has changed the sky, and those Cao families who are far away near the city hospital don't know yet, they are still Zhao Dekai's eyeliner.
Liang Houzai asked Yan Xiaotian, what kind of industries are there in the hospital, and since the Cao family still has an industry, why can't they support themselves?
Yan Xiaotian said that the Cao family's good industry had been sold and mortgaged as early as when they bought shares in Zhao Dekai, and there was a fast food restaurant and a few small shops on the hospital side, and such a small industry could not support a huge Cao family at all.
After we waited in the car for an hour, Yan Xiaotian called Mrs. Cao, and we learned that Liang Houzai had taken into account, in fact, the Hidden Elder and Mrs. Cao had also taken into account, and the Cao family would not openly turn against Zhao Dekai now, nor would they reveal the matter of their alliance with Yan Xiaotian.
However, Mrs. Cao also said that the Cao family, who run those small industries, is actually unable to contact Zhao Dekai directly, no matter what they see or hear, they will report to Cao Hongbin and others first, and then tell Zhao Dekai through Cao Hongbin and others. Now that Cao Hongbin and his gang have been captured, we don't have to worry about their whereabouts being exposed.
Mrs. Cao mentioned on the phone that when they interrogated Cao Hongbin, they also learned that Zhao Dekai wanted Cao Hongbin to steal the Cao family's family heirloom, and also knew that Yi Qingping would come to Cao's house within a week.
Now that the family has a hidden elder in charge, Mrs. Cao is not worried about Yi Qingping's arrival, but she also said that although she is not afraid of Yi Qingping, as long as he arrives, the matter of the Cao family and Yan Xiaotian's alliance will inevitably be revealed, and when the time comes, Zhao Dekai will strengthen his control over the clans, and it will be difficult for us to attack those clans again.
Therefore, in this week, Yan Xiaotian must do his best to encircle several other clans, and if we can subdue one more clan, we will be able to have more hole cards. And the Hidden Elder also promised that he could come forward to help Yan Xiaotian go to those clans to talk about it.
At this point, the affairs of the major clans in Baiwu Mountain have nothing to do with a few of us.
Yan Xiaotian sent us to the gate of the city hospital, and then left under the pretext of leaving.
