Xiao Changhe's eyes were condensed and he said coldly:
"Maybe what you said is true, but you only represent yourself, not Mengyao!"
"Although I, Xiao Changhe, dare not say that I have met countless people, I have lived for decades, and I am still somewhat capable of recognizing people and objects. Mengyao's feelings for you are extremely special. They are not brother and sister, but more like a relationship between a man and a woman!"
"Xiaohe's life was ruined because of her wrong move. I don't want Mengyao to follow in her footsteps!"
Xiao Changhe's eyes were blazing and he continued: "Ye Chen, I have been observing you from the moment you came in. To be honest, I am very satisfied with every detail of you. You behave appropriately, neither humble nor arrogant. Even face to face with me, you still
Being able to remain undisturbed is a rare trait among young people. Even compared to many young military heroes in Yun Province, you are not inferior at all!"
"But to be honest, your starting point is too low!"
Xiao Changhe shook his head gently: "Looking at your age, you should be nearly twenty years old, and many outstanding people in Yun Province that I know who are the same age as you or slightly older are now the managers and presidents of a listed company, or even...
Start your own business and serve as the chairman of a company!"
"And what about you? Can you tell me what achievements you have now that are noteworthy?"
He was observing Ye Chen from the beginning to the end, like the young heroes he had seen, such as the "little stock god" Luo Situ, Xu Liangdong, the son of Yun Province's new rich, Xu Chunggang, the trade prince of Lancang River, or the Laoshan sect.
Which of the several young male disciples is not a sensational top talent?
These people are either well-known in the martial arts world, or they are active in business, and they all have considerable status.
Every time he saw them, Xiao Changhe could see the shining points in a few of them, the kind of heroic ambition that could swallow up thousands of miles, and a sense of oppression from the superiors in every move, overwhelming his peers, but in Ye Chen
, it was as if he saw a plain without any ups and downs.
Ye Chen was like those ancient literati who held themselves aloof, but their real abilities were very limited. He concluded at a glance that Ye Chen did not have many amazing abilities.
Moreover, even if Ye Chen is really capable, he is just an unknown boy who was rescued by Xiao He, with no father, no mother, and no background.
If you have a foothold in this world without anyone to protect you, even if you are really capable, how can everything go smoothly?
At the beginning, he had martial arts skills and was recommended by his father-in-law, so he joined the Yunnan Army and finally achieved the position of commander. Luo Situ also relied on the Luo family's huge wealth and gave him one billion to train him, and then he gradually became famous.
He became known as the "Small Stock God".
Even Su Murou, the darling of the Xiao family, got the title of Business Queen of Yun Province because her father married into the Xiao family and, with the help of the Xiao family, handed over half of the Xiao family's property to her.
It is important for a person to have talent, but what is more important is that someone supports you, builds a platform for you, and gives you the opportunity to show your talents. Without a platform, all your ambitions are in vain.
At this moment, Ye Chen was just a piece of unpolished jade in his eyes, unable to reach the level of elegance.
"Achievement?"
Ye Chen's eyes flickered and he just smiled faintly.
For him, whether he is the chairman of Lingtian Group, Mr. Ye from Sichuan Province, or the number one in China's powerful list, it is not a great achievement. He does not think there is anything worth promoting, so he does not
Not answered.
Seeing his reaction, Xiao Changhe thought that he actually acquiesced, and his voice became a little more solemn.
"Ye Chen, since Xiaohe regards you as his biological son, logically speaking, you should also call me grandpa!"
"I used to be a soldier, and I was always fast-talking. Now Mengyao is a well-known Chinese rising star and the future queen of the music industry. With the protection of Lingtian Group behind her, her future prospects are limitless!"
"And you are still just an unknown person. Even if you mention your name, not many people know it!"
"Although this is cruel, it is an iron fact!"
"Meng Yao likes you, it is undeniable, but with her current influence and popularity, there are countless suitors across the country, and none of them have amazing backgrounds and huge power?"
"To tell you the truth, the Luo family of Yun Province proposed marriage to me three days ago. Luo Situ of the Luo family has a special liking for Mengyao, and the Luo family is very wealthy and powerful. Marriage with him will be of great benefit to my Xiao family.
It’s no harm, although I haven’t agreed yet, I’m already preparing to give the Luo family a reply after my birthday!”
"I don't care what your feelings are for Mengyao, but if you are always next to her, it will hinder her and delay her progress to a new platform, so I hope you leave her, and you should understand!"
Xiao Changhe pushed the check in front of Ye Chen.
"You can take this check. If it's not enough, I'll pay you ten times more, as long as you promise to never have any contact with Mengyao!"
"Of course, you can also choose to work in a company under my Xiao family. As long as you can show your incomparable value within three years, I can let Mu Rou promote you directly to the position of president. At that time, whether Mengyao or
No matter how you want to develop, I won't interfere anymore!"
This iron-clad former Yunnan Army commander placed two choices in front of Ye Chen.
Xiao Changhe was so impressive that he gave Ye Chen two choices, and then looked at Ye Chen, exerting pressure on him invisibly.
The guard next to him stood upright and looked down. He followed Xiao Changhe to meet the new year, and he had always been extremely convinced of Xiao Changhe's judgment.
Ye Chen touched his chin and suddenly chuckled.
"Mr. Xiao, I don't accept either of your proposals!"
Hearing this, Xiao Changhe's eyes narrowed and he heard Ye Chen continue: "Meng Yao is my sister and Aunt Xiao's only support in the world. I swore in front of Aunt Xiao's grave that I will protect her happiness and health for the rest of my life. Of course,
It’s impossible to cut off contact with her!”
"As for you asking me to work in a company owned by the Xiao family, this is even more meaningless to me. In another month, I will go to Beijing University to study!"
After Ye Chen finished speaking, Xiao Changhe's brows moved slightly, and a flash of disappointment flashed in his eyes.
He originally thought that Ye Chen knew how to assess the situation, know the situation, advance and retreat, and know the trade-offs, but Ye Chen's answer really disappointed him.
Ye Chen's words were like a child's angry answer. He could accept the first sentence, but saying that he would go to Beijing University to study in a month, so working in the Xiao family was meaningless. This was simply a slip of the imagination.
The big joke.
Although Jingcheng University is the leader among the highest institutions of higher learning in China and is the brand name of Chinese universities, among the Xiao family enterprises, there are countless top students from 985 and 211 key universities, including many with doctorates and masters, and even postdoctoral fellows.
Fifty people.
Even if Ye Chen really goes to Beijing University to study and completes his studies, he may not be able to be hired by a high-end company in the future. In order to go to Beijing University to study, Ye Chen gave up the opportunity to work directly in the Xiao family company. In his opinion, it is simply a big deal.
joke.
"Ye Chen, I originally thought you were an unpolished jade, but now it seems that you are just a dull stone!"
Xiao Changhe shook his head gently: "Do you know how many top students from key universities strive to work in companies owned by my Xiao family every year?"
"And you gave up the opportunity I gave you just because you wanted to study at Beijing University. You are simply stubborn!"
"I originally thought that I could train you and even let Mengyao be with you in the future, but now I have changed my mind!"
