This is an extremely sensitive word. It also made Ouyang Feifei, who was in despair, grab a life-saving straw that seemed to be there.
If it was an aunt, wouldn't it mean that Chuhe was also a member of the Xiao family?
Since we are members of the Xiao family, we naturally have the right to speak, right?
Ouyang Feifei forced a smile on her beautiful face as cold as frost and asked: "Mr. Chu has also heard about the cooperation between the Zhuge family and the Xiao family, right?"
"I just heard your discussion outside the door." Chu He smiled and nodded.
"Then Mr. Chu -" Ouyang Feifei pursed her lips, as if it was difficult to speak, but she finally said bravely. "Mr. Chu has had a relationship with the eldest lady -"
"She's not that kind of person." Chu He shook his head slightly and smiled.
"Who?" Ouyang Feifei asked doubtfully.
"She won't use this relationship to ask me to do things for her." Chu He paused and added, "Or ask for help."
"What do you mean, Mr. Chu?" Ouyang Feifei asked helplessly.
Chu He saw that Ouyang Feifei was quite pitiful. She must have been driven into desperation by her robot aunt. She didn't have the sharpness and courage when they first met, let alone the confidence that radiated from the inside out. He smiled.
, said: "Let me tell you."
After saying that, he turned his head and walked towards Queen Mother Xiao who was browsing the documents calmly.
"Aunt——" Chu He called tentatively.
Empress Dowager Xiao said nothing, still immersed in reading.
"Aunt——" Chu He increased his voice.
Empress Dowager Xiao raised her eyes slightly, gesturing for him to continue.
"Since it is a project that is so beneficial to our Xiao family, why should we terminate it when we say it is terminated? No one would mind that the money is too much." Chu He organized his words and continued. "Otherwise, we would have signed the contract according to Miss Ouyang's wishes.
Starting the project can also contribute to the economic construction of the old Xiao family."
Queen Mother Xiao stopped browsing the documents, and instead opened the drawer, took out a well-preserved agreement, and handed it to Chu He: "Sign it. You have the final say on the project."
Chu He was startled at first and couldn't help but asked curiously: "What to sign?"
Queen Mother Xiao stared at him quietly with her deep eyes and did not answer.
Chu He came to his senses for a moment and smiled bitterly: "Is it still the same thing as before?"
Take the first step.
Just about to take the last step.
When he took the position of chairman of the board of directors, all the Xiao family's businesses were in his arms, and he became a well-deserved young tycoon.
Chu He sighed softly, looked away from the document in Empress Dowager Xiao Su's hand, shook his head and said, "I can't do it."
"go out."
Clang.
The drawer was closed by the robot aunt, and she spat out two emotionless words.
Seeing that Chu He, his only hope, was rejected, Ouyang Feifei stepped forward quickly and asked in a low voice: "What is that?"
"A work agreement." Chu He shrugged and said helplessly.
"Then why didn't you sign?" Ouyang Feifei asked with a frown.
Since she is an aunt, the work agreement she drafted must be for Chu He, right?
She decided to use her wisdom to persuade Chu He to sign the work agreement.
"Because I will inherit the Xiao family's property if I sign." Chu He said seriously.
"That is to say -" Ouyang Feifei asked tentatively. "Is that an inheritance agreement?"
"You can think so." Chu He nodded seriously.
"——" Ouyang Feifei looked at Chuhe blankly, her graceful red lips raised slightly, and asked blankly. "Then - you don't want to inherit?"
"Isn't it obvious enough?" Chu He asked curiously.
Not obvious enough?
It’s really not obvious enough!
How can there be anyone these days who doesn’t want to inherit a fortune worth hundreds of millions? You should find a few more for me!
Ouyang Feifei has some illusions that her outlook on life has collapsed.
If Chuhe is willing to sign, according to what Empress Dowager Xiao said, he will be qualified to control the project. Then Ouyang Feifei can naturally start the project smoothly. This is simply the best of both worlds!
But unfortunately - the man in front of him whose engagement was broken off by the eldest lady had the same unusual thinking as the Empress Dowager Xiao who was sitting peacefully on the chair working.
They don't do things that normal people would do. They refuse things that normal people would never refuse!
Is there something wrong with this family's brains, or are they deliberately playing tricks on themselves?
She couldn't tell the difference. Her sharp, sensitive and highly developed business acumen couldn't figure out the two aunts and nephews, because her thinking was just more flexible than ordinary people, but it did not deviate from the normal track——
"Miss Ouyang, I'm sorry." Chuhe said with a helpless smile. "I may not be able to help you. Come back and ask her for help."
Ouyang Feifei left the dull and somewhat shabby study in a daze, and absentmindedly left the meaningful Xiaoshan Villa.
Now when I go back, how should I explain it to all parties? How should I report it to the eldest lady?
…
After Ouyang Feifei left without a trace, Chu He pulled out a chair and slowly sat across from Queen Mother Xiao. His black and white eyes quietly stared at the robot aunt's face that was covered by old-fashioned glasses. After thinking for a long time, he asked softly.
: "Why refuse?"
Her behavior is unreasonable.
At least based on his superficial understanding of Aunt Robot, she shouldn't be the head of the Xiao family who is joking about profits. She has had a natural insight since she was a child. She is quite good at making money. This is probably why her grandfather chose her as his wife.
An important factor for heirs, right?
But this time, she didn't follow common sense. Not only did she reject the Zhuge family, who was very important in the capital, but she also damaged the Xiao family's own reputation and interests. It was unusual and really thought-provoking.
The meaning of Chu He's words was very straightforward, but his tone was quite tactful. After saying that, he waited quietly as always. Waiting for the robot aunt to finish the work at hand. Unexpectedly, the wait would take more than half an hour. She waited until lunch time
Then he took off his glasses and said to the hungry Chu He, "Eat."
…
In fact, the dinner in the Xiao family is far less elaborate and rich than that in a normal rich family. There are no so-called appetizers and eight hot and cold dishes, and there is no such exquisite custom of eating Cantonese food today, Sichuan food tomorrow, and Beijing food the next day. It is very ordinary.
Home-cooked dishes. The chef who cooks the dishes is a middle-aged cook who is nearly forty years old. She may not be as good at all kinds of dishes as a star-rated hotel chef. But she can also make these ordinary home-cooked dishes elegant and delicious.
.
Just like the architectural style of Xiaoshan villa. It is not based on avant-garde luxury, but is practical and elegant.
There were only this pair of Xiao family aunt and nephew at the dining table. It seemed that the dining atmosphere was quite deserted, but on weekdays, the dining table was occupied by Empress Dowager Xiao alone. It looked even more desolate.
The combination of meat and vegetables is quite clever. Chicken, duck and fish are all available, paired with nourishing thick soup and elegant seasonal vegetables. Not to mention the high cost of each dish, it makes Chuhe's index finger get up early in the morning without even having time to eat breakfast.
Da Dong. Taking the delicate rice bowl handed over by the servant, Chu He picked up a piece of braised fish maw that was full of color, flavor and flavor, and swallowed half the bowl of rice.
Everything tastes delicious when a person is hungry. Chu He, who usually felt uncomfortable just sitting with his robot aunt, ate three bowls of rice in a row and drank two bowls of soup before reluctantly putting down his bowls and chopsticks. He subconsciously took out his cigarette case, but then
Reluctantly, I put it back in my pocket. I waited for it to be empty and ran to the yard to smoke.
"Are you full?" Queen Mother Xiao glanced at him gently.
"I'm full." Chu He touched his belly with satisfaction.
Empress Dowager Xiao does not eat very fast, but she eats at a steady pace. Unlike some rich ladies who are so pretentious that they have to chew for half an hour before eating a mouthful. At the end, they have to wipe the corners of their expensive lip gloss before taking another bite. She turns over the food on the plate.
It's even more common for them to go back and forth. It seems like they have to choose the ones with the most exquisite appearance and the freshest taste before they can enter their little mouths.
Empress Dowager Xiao is different. When she takes a chopstick, even a green pepper will not be discarded and picked again. Instead, she will calmly put it into her seductive red lips and chew it. She will also chew the food in her lips at a very reasonable rhythm.
, and then swallow it. It doesn’t gobble it up, and it doesn’t move around with your lips and tongue.
"Have you been to Qin's house this morning?"
Empress Dowager Xiao's change of topic caught Chu He off guard, but she still nodded and admitted: "I went."
"Don't go there in the future." Empress Dowager Xiao's tone was very mechanical.
"Of course I won't go if it's not necessary." Chu He said with a smile. "That Qin Tianbao is too ugly, which is really off-putting."
Empress Dowager Xiao glanced at him again, her delicate red lips raised slightly. But in the end she didn't speak again.
Chu He naturally knew that the robot aunt had seen through his word game, so he did not dwell on it. He returned to the previous topic in the study and asked: "Why refuse to cooperate? Although I don't understand these things very well. But since Ouyang can let Ouyang
Feifei came to visit in person, it must not be a small game."
A trace of clarity flashed across Empress Dowager Xiao's deep eyes, and she said: "The plate is not small. The chess players are not good."
Chu He was startled when he heard this. He looked at the robot aunt thoughtfully and said with a wry smile: "How many businessmen these days like their partners? Everyone is just seeking money, not really making friends.
."
"You can choose." Empress Dowager Xiao said calmly.
Chu He took a helpless sip of tea and asked, "How much compensation will the Xiao family have to pay if they refuse to cooperate?"
"Three hundred million."
"——"
Three hundred million?
Chu He said in shock: "Have you not considered the losses from other channels?"
Empress Dowager Xiao glanced at him deeply and said, "Very concerned?"
Chu He shook his head hastily, unwilling to get into the robot aunt's trap. He asked: "You still haven't told me. Why did you refuse this cooperation."
Empress Dowager Xiao was not in a hurry to answer. She picked up the tea cup and took a sip. Then she stared at Chu He calmly and carefully. It wasn't until Chu He was sitting on pins and needles with thorns pricking her back that she said without emotion: "She told you why she divorced you.
