Yu Er rattled off a long list of names. Suddenly, he came to his senses——
"No! Chuanyu, why are you asking these questions? Are you also -" Falling in love with an opera singer?
Nowadays, we can’t say that everyone is a fan of entertainment, but for wives and young men from wealthy families, it is completely normal for them to support an actor.
However, Yu Er always felt that such a thing had nothing to do with Zhao Chuanyu.
First of all, Zhao Chuanyu is still young, almost thirteen years old, and still a half-grown girl.
Even though influenced by the elders in the family, I have loved going to the theater since I was a child, but I would not be so "precocious" in following famous actors from various theater troupes.
Secondly, Yu Er knew very well that although he and Zhao Chuanyu were classmates, they were not the same kind of people.
Yu Er is the youngest son in the family. He does not have the burden of inheriting the family business. He has been pampered by his parents and elder brothers since he was a child. He eats, drinks and plays, and is proficient in all kinds of enjoyment.
As for Zhao Chuanyu, in Yu Er's opinion, just like his eldest brother, he was raised as an heir by his family.
From the time he could speak, he received elite education.
In their hearts, family business and inheritance are more important than anything else.
Personal preferences and so on were put aside.
Therefore, Yu Er just said that sentence and swallowed it back before he finished speaking.
"Impossible! How could you be obsessed with singing?"
This is like saying that his majestic eldest brother likes to read novels and bet on horse races.
They don’t match at all, okay?!
"..." Zhao Chuanyu rolled his eyes at Yu Er, with a look of contempt on his childish face that said, "You're still smart."
Yu Er rubbed his nose and said somewhat sarcastically, "What, I, I'm just curious."
"You, Miss Zhao, have never been exposed to these things, but you suddenly came to me to ask about the theater troupe. I must have misunderstood!"
Yu Er is one year older than Zhao Chuanyu and is still a boy.
In a patriarchal society, a young master like him who comes from a wealthy family would not give in to a woman.
However, some people are born with strong personal charm.
Regardless of age or gender, if you get along with her for a long time, you will involuntarily want to surrender to her.
Yu Er and Zhao Chuanyu have been classmates for several years, but they are not from the same world.
But because of some coincidences, we became more friends than classmates.
With deeper contact, Yu Er was gradually attracted by Zhao Chuanyu's personal charm.
Involuntarily, Yu Er became Zhao Chuanyu's little follower.
Therefore, now that he was despised by Zhao Chuanyu, Yu Er would not be angry, but instead kept smiling.
"There is nothing to misunderstand. I just suddenly found these characters quite interesting!"
Zhao Chuanyu felt better when he saw Yu Er giggle.
She casually gave a reason and continued talking to Yu Er about other things.
"Father Smith's place, it's not convenient for me to go there often, please help me take care of it!"
Zhao Chuanyu mentioned business and lowered his voice involuntarily.
"no problem!"
Yu Er is definitely an excellent little follower. He will only obey the orders given by his boss and will never question them.
Even if he doesn't understand it in his heart.
For example, that Smith was just the priest of a small shabby church, but Zhao Chuanyu valued him very much.
Normally, it was just a matter of sending him some donations or something, but now that Zhao Chuanyu was in dire straits, he still didn't forget to take care of this foreign devil.
As both members of the upper class circle in Fucheng, Yu Er naturally knew what happened to the Zhao family——
Mr. Zhao suddenly passed away, and his son-in-law Huo Mingting quickly fell out of favor. Not only did he give birth to an illegitimate child, but he also took him into the Zhao family.
In addition, he also asked Zhao Chuanyu to change his surname back to Huo, clearly intending to embezzle the Zhao family's property.
Zhao Chuanyu has been socializing with Mr. Zhao since he was a child. Many families do not recognize that a woman can bear the family business.
However, they can understand Mr. Zhao's helplessness.
What happened to my granddaughter?
Even if she is a granddaughter, with the blood of the Zhao family flowing through her body, it is better than taking advantage of outsiders.
Mr. Zhao used to work alone in Fucheng and built up a huge family fortune through hard work.
He has no clan, no close relatives, and no other descendants except an only daughter.
Those old men put themselves in Mr. Zhao's situation, and they all felt that if they were Mr. Zhao, they would also marry their daughter, and then give birth to a grandson to inherit the Zhao family.
Therefore, seeing that Mr. Zhao really regarded his granddaughter as the heir of the Zhao family, a group of wealthy businessmen slowly accepted it.
Although Zhao Chuanyu is a girl and young, her abilities are not weak.
At the age of eleven or twelve, he was able to run a shop independently and also help Mr. Zhao with suggestions.
She relied on her relationship with Yu Er's classmates to successfully get the Zhao family into the Yu family.
Who is the Yu family?
More than ten years ago, it might not have been so prominent.
But as Mr. Yu joined the army, he had tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, and he became a powerful force. The Yu family also became one of the best in the city!
As for the Zhao family, although they are wealthy, they are just businessmen after all.
Since ancient times, people have not fought with officials, and wealthy businessmen have been the fat sheep raised by those in power.
Especially in today's troubled times, those powerful men with soldiers and horses are like bandits.
The Zhao family joined the Yu family and relied on the Yu family's protection to continue doing business smoothly in Fucheng.
Of course, the Yu family does not serve as backers for nothing.
Under Zhao Chuanyu's persuasion, Mr. Zhao spent a quarter of his family wealth to support the Yu family in continuing to recruit troops.
The two families have become an alliance of interests, helping each other and developing together.
And the person who made all this happen is just a little girl of eleven or twelve years old!
Those wealthy businessmen, after vaguely hearing the inside information, couldn't help but sigh: "He is indeed a person trained by Mr. Zhao!"
Even if she is a girl, she is much better than her unsatisfactory son.
At this level, gender is no longer the only shackle, ability is the most critical.
pity--
Mr. Zhao suddenly passed away before the tiger cubs he had trained personally could grow up.
And his only daughter is so good that it leaves people speechless.
He obviously had a handful of good cards, but he was beaten to pieces.
It was just that she herself changed from the eldest lady who was supposed to control everything to a housewife who relied on men. She also harmed Zhao Chuanyu, her own daughter.
In the past year, the upper class in Fucheng had really seen enough of the Zhao family's jokes.
The adopted son-in-law turned against the guest, and the heir recognized by Mr. Zhao personally had his wings broken by his own mother and the adopted son-in-law.
"Oh, the Zhao family is going to be defeated!"
"Old Zhao is very shrewd and can be considered good at training people, but how could he raise such a daughter?"
Faced with all the news coming out of the Zhao family, even Mr. Zhao's opponents couldn't help but sigh for him.
Yu Er is Zhao Chuanyu's little follower, and he has long identified this boss.
Knowing that she was not having a good life in the past year, I was very worried.
Gu Mian
Yu Er believes that her boss is not someone who can be easily defeated, but she is still young after all, and it is her biological father who suppresses her!
Filial piety is as big as a mountain, so Zhao Chuanyu has no chance of winning against Huo Mingting.
Now, this should be the most difficult time for Zhao Chuanyu.
Yu Er felt that if he were the boss, he would definitely not be able to hold on.
As a result, not only did my boss not collapse or become decadent, but he was still able to find out about the famous actors in the troupe, and now he even took care of a foreign devil!
As smart and sharp as Zhao Chuanyu, he naturally saw the confusion in Yu Er's eyes.
However, she didn't explain much.
The line about Father Smith was just a foreshadowing for her, and she was not entirely sure whether this person would be useful.
However, investing in advance definitely casts a wide net.
Zhao Chuanyu only discovered from certain details that Smith was not a simple preacher, so she wanted to make a bet in advance.
It's just a casual thing. It doesn't cost much to spend some money and give a favor.
But if your guess is correct, the reward you will receive will be richer than you imagined.
"Also, help me keep an eye on the Huo family..."
Zhao Chuanyu continued to issue orders to Yu Er.
Of course, as a qualified boss, Zhao Chuanyu will not order people in vain.
As she spoke, she pushed a paper bag to Yu Er. It was bulging, and you could tell from its appearance that it contained rows of silver coins.
"Take it and use it. You can go to the theater or treat people to coffee, but don't gamble!"
When Zhao Chuanyu mentioned the word "gambling", his expression was particularly serious.
Yu Er nodded seriously, "Boss, don't worry. Although I like to bet on horse races, I just want to watch."
After saying that, Yu Er's face returned to a playful smile, and he reached out and put a large bag of silver dollars into his bag, "Hey, boss is the best to me!"
Although his family is a powerful one with a lot of troops, they all belong to the eldest brother.
His parents pampered him, but they were also afraid that if he had too much money, he would learn bad things.
The daily pocket money given by the family is not much.
Yu Er has many hobbies, but there is simply not enough money to spend.
In the past few years, he was able to eat, drink, and have fun as he pleased, all because of Zhao Chuanyu's "support."
Zhao Chuanyu: ...So, interest alliances are the most reliable.
She knows that she is good at winning over people, but if there are not enough benefits, people will not follow her foolishly.
As the granddaughter of the richest man, what she lacks most is money.
Even now, when she is trapped at home by her scumbag father, he just doesn't let her take over the business. He doesn't treat her badly in terms of money.
In addition, Zhao Chuanyu also has Zhao Wenxiu, his biological mother.
My biological mother was confused and selfish, and she always hurt Zhao Chuanyu unconsciously.
However, she is still relatively "loving" when Huo Mingting is not involved.
For example, she has never deducted money from Zhao Chuanyu.
Not to mention, Zhao Chuanyu has been the heir of the Zhao family for more than ten years.
Her hidden treasury is not ordinary rich!
She used the money to not only instruct Yu Er to do work for her, but she also secretly bribed some beggars and punks!
She is dormant now, but that doesn't mean she is not doing anything.
In the past, she was forced by her scumbag father and stupid mother to almost betray the Zhao family, and these arrangements were her back-up.
Now, it seems that she has found a way to coax her mother. With her mother's "support", it should be easier to fight against her scumbag father.
"It seems I don't need to leave the Zhao family!"
Zhao Chuanyu couldn't help but have this idea.
If possible, she would certainly not want to leave the Zhao family.
Why should you leave?
This is her home, it should belong to her!
As well as the industries that her grandfather worked so hard for, she would never give them up to Huo Mingting and his son.
After working outside for a while and giving some instructions to the beggars and gangsters, Zhao Chuanyu returned home.
After returning home, Huo Mingting was already back.
He sat on the sofa and tried his best to act like a dignified superior.
Huo Mingting may not have noticed it himself. He scolded Mr. Zhao in his heart for being an old fox and an immortal, but in daily life, he could not help but imitate others.
"Painting a tiger is not like a dog!"
"Nothing fish or fish! Just imitate others!"
Zhao Chuanyu really looks down on villains like his father.
Especially today, after hearing from his mother that his father was actually an actor, Zhao Chuanyu could not look directly at Huo Mingting who was so pretentious.
It's not that Zhao Chuanyu is discriminating, but that nowadays, actors are just low-class and are the stuff of rich people.
Of course, Zhao Chuanyu also knows that "heroes do not care about their origins". For example, her grandfather started his career in that way.
However, Zhao Chuanyu really can't respect a pretty guy like this scumbag dad who relies on women to get to the top.
"You're back? Why so late?"
Zhao Chuanyu looked down on Huo Mingting, but Huo Mingting didn't want to see Zhao Chuanyu.
Because this daughter is so much like his dead father-in-law.
It's not that they have similar looks, it's the aura that comes from their bones and the arrogance and arrogance that comes from their eyes!
The old man named Zhao suppressed him for more than ten years and made him pretend to be his grandson for more than ten years.
He finally endured the old man's journey to the west, but there was still Zhao Chuanyu at home.
Seeing this daughter who resembled his father-in-law, and thinking that she was clearly his son, Huo Mingting, but had been named Zhao for more than ten years, Huo Mingting's heart was filled with a sense of humiliation.
The main reason for the "antagonism" between father and daughter is the conflict of interests.
Huo Mingting took away the Zhao family's property from his daughter. It would be a big joke if they could still be a loving father and a filial daughter.
For various reasons, Huo Mingting was particularly cold and harsh towards Zhao Chuanyu.
When he saw her coming back from outside, Huo Mingting acted like a stepfather and scolded angrily, "You are not young anymore, why are you still so ignorant?"
"My daughter's family is supposed to be quiet and elegant. How can it be so unruly?"
Hearing this scolding, Zhao Chuanyu would have been angry and sad if it had been left before today.
But today, Zhao Chuanyu really has a strategy to deal with it.
She didn't look at Huo Mingting at all. Instead, she turned to "Zhao Wenxiu" who was reading the newspaper and said, "Mom, I'm going to see Yu Er. His family often holds gatherings -"
Therefore, Yu Er knew the famous actors in the Fucheng troupe best.
Hearing this, He Tiantian suddenly raised her head, her eyes shining brightly.
"Yu Er? Is he the second young master of General Yu's family?"
Although the original owner Zhao Wenxiu valued her husband more, she did not really ignore her daughter.
For example, when my daughter was in school, she had a good classmate. This classmate was not very old, but he was a little fancier.
He is most passionate about supporting actors and holding party parties.
Today, my daughter suddenly ran to look for him. It must be——
