Lin Xiao glanced at Cao Shaomin, chuckled and said, "Young Master Cao, you are really smart."
"Haha, Mr. Lin is joking."
Cao Shaomin shook his head and smiled, and then continued: "The guest of the Cao family, your annual remuneration of one billion, you only need to help me when the Cao family needs it."
"And if Mr. Lin really goes to war with the Li family in the future, my Cao family will also help you."
Hearing this, Lin Xiao picked up the wine glass in front of him and drank it down in one gulp, then said with a smile: "Forget about being the guest of the Cao family!"
"Why? Are the conditions given by my Cao family not enough?"
Cao Shaomin asked with some confusion.
The remuneration is fixed at one billion a year, and the Cao family only needs to help when the Cao family needs it. As for the rest of the time, the Cao family will not restrict the guest's freedom.
Moreover, Cao Shaomin also promised that if Lin Xiao really went to war with the Li family in Beicheng in the future, the Cao family would help him.
You must know that the Cao family, as one of the eight major families in Beicheng, is undoubtedly powerful.
If the Cao family takes sides, even if the Li family in Beicheng has some unknown tricks, it will not help.
Although the Li family is the best among the second-rate families in Beicheng, if they fight with real swords and guns, they will never be able to compete with any of the eight major families in Beicheng.
There are only a few people in the entire Dragon Kingdom who can refuse such a generous offer.
But when he came to Lin Xiao, he refused without thinking. How could Cao Shaomin not be shocked by such a reaction?
"It's not that the conditions are not enough, but if I really agree to be your Cao family's guest, some old guys may not let me go easily."
Lin Xiao shook his head, smiled, and said.
Hearing this, Cao Shaomin raised his eyebrows, with a hint of doubt in his eyes.
Not to mention Beicheng, even if we look at the entire Dragon Kingdom, how many people dare to point fingers at what the Cao family is doing?
"I know what you are thinking, Mr. Cao, and I can also tell you the identities of those old guys."
"The conditions offered to me by those four old men from Shangsi Family are much better than those offered by you, Mr. Cao."
"But in the end I rejected them one by one. In addition, if I really go to war with the Li family, I don't need the help of the Cao family. I just don't want to become an enemy of one of the eight major families because of the Li family."
Lin Xiao put down his wine glass and said with a chuckle.
Cao Shaomin's pupils suddenly shrank, and his eyes looking at Lin Xiao were full of disbelief and shock.
Those four old men from the last four houses!
Although Lin Xiao didn't say who it was, Cao Shaomin knew that it was the four old heads of the upper four families who had resigned as heads of the house!
The Cao family is indeed powerful, but after all, it is only one of the lower four families among the eight major families in Beicheng.
Compared with the upper four families, the lower four families among the eight major families in Beicheng are still much weaker.
"Mr. Lin is not joking?"
Cao Shaomin asked with a solemn expression.
Lin Xiao shook his head, smiled, and said lightly: "Do I need to lie to you, Mr. Cao?"
