"Dad, this is my good friend Qiao Meng." Bai Du handed over his hand to edit with a humble look on his face, which made Qiao Meng look on at a loss.
So he also hurriedly made this gesture and said: "Hello, uncle, uh... junior Qiao Meng has come to see me."
"Hahaha, little brother, you don't need to be so reserved. Bai'er and I are just accustomed to family training. I'm a little flattered by your words of audience. We are not the princes and nobles of ancient times." Baidu's father heard this.
Qiao Meng actually learned to do this and said with a smile.
"I often hear Bai'er mentioning you, of course I mentioned it in letters. I heard that you are very talented and help our family with the business, and your results are even better than what Bai'er did before."
"It's no wonder that he wants to hand over 50% of his shares to you for cooperation. This makes me want to get to know a young talent like you. It's appropriate for you to call me Uncle Bai." Baidu
The father said again.
"Everywhere, they are just some small names. They are not as real as Uncle Bai. The shareholding in Gulou City is actually a joke and should not be taken seriously." Qiao Meng said kindly.
said.
"Hey, why can't you take it seriously? My words and deeds in the Bai family are all true to my word. I'll give it to you and that's it. It will never be changed. Besides, this ancient city is just the foundation of our Bai family's external power. It doesn't matter."
Father Bai said calmly.
"Haha, yes, Qiao Meng, don't worry so much. Even if you take care of the entire Gulou City, it will not affect the foundation of my Bai family. Although this Gulou City is the starting point of my family,
Later, it gradually became a facade." Baidu said very proudly.
"As expected of a big family, it's just different. If I want to reach this level, I don't know how far I have to go. Is Uncle Bai's family, which has a big business, related to the Bai family in Kyoto?"
Qiao Meng suddenly changed the topic to this, obviously discovering some connections. Bai Yunfei wanted to establish a new Bai family in Kyoto but was able to gain a foothold time and time again. This made people wonder what the secret was behind it.
"Haha, why did you suddenly ask this?" Bai's father asked with a smile.
"Oh, it's nothing. I happened to meet Baidu's eldest brother when I was in Kyoto and something happened, so I was a little curious. It's okay if it's inconvenient to tell me." Qiao Meng said very humbly.
"I see. This scoundrel must have stirred up trouble outside again, and he didn't do anything to hurt you, right? Bai'er didn't tell me about this matter when he came back. I'm really sorry." Bai's father was very apologetic.
said.
"It's okay, we just met and nothing unpleasant happened." Qiao Meng said with a smile.
"That's good. By the way, I heard outside the palace just now that you wanted to recognize me as your godfather. This is a good thing. I agree. Having many good sons is a great joy. Bi Bai'er and his eldest brother may
I did too much." Bai's father suddenly mentioned what Qiao Meng and Bai Du had casually talked about before.
This made him feel a little embarrassed. Although he did want to make friends with the Bai family, he still couldn't get used to it if he really recognized this godfather. In addition, how could the words that were originally meant as a joke be taken seriously?
.
Moreover, the words and sentences Father Bai used when talking about this matter made Qiao Meng feel very strange. He always felt as if he had suffered a big loss. He was called son for nothing. He still felt uncomfortable in his heart, but
There was no way to refute it. After all, Father Bai was indeed of the right age, not to mention his status. Who wouldn’t want such a rich father? But it was still a bit sudden.
He also knew in his heart that Father Bai was deliberately trying to win over him. If they were all a family, the Bai family's affairs would not be Qiao Meng's business. Qiao Meng's affairs would also have the right to control the Bai family. It would be very embarrassing.
The lack of freedom and the feeling of being constrained was also one of the reasons why he did not agree immediately.
"Well, Uncle Bai, I was just joking with Bai Du casually. We can't take it seriously, so don't make fun of me." Qiao Meng thought about it and decided to politely refuse first. If Father Bai continues to insist, then we'll see.
Come on.
"How can it be just a joke? Didn't I say that the Bai family will never regret anything they do? Since I have agreed, what else do you have to say no to? Is it because you look down on our Bai family or your uncle?
Father Bai said very seriously.
"This...if this is really the case, wouldn't I have taken advantage in vain?" Qiao Meng said with a helpless look.
"Bai'er, listen to me. Xiao Meng is very good at talking. Even his words of rejection are so nice. And look at you, you really don't know what to do all day long, and your management is in a mess. But this matter is settled.
The ceremony will be held tomorrow."
Father Bai said with a smile. It didn't look like he was giving orders at all, but his tone and irresistible momentum made people feel it.
"I……"
"What am I? Why don't you take Xiaomeng to see his room quickly? Let's have a meal first and then go to my warehouse. I don't know how many new treasures have been recently received. Xiaomeng, if you don't mind.
Just help me identify it." Bai's father first looked at Baidu with a stern look, then said to Qiao Meng very gently.
"I understand." Baidu agreed and left with Qiao Meng.
Watching them go out, Bai's father's eyes seemed to have a different meaning, "This Qiao Meng is indeed not simple. Who wouldn't want to climb high in our Bai family's great career, but he was able to continue under such temptation?"
Retreating, whether intentional or unintentional, is not something ordinary people can do. Maybe the Bai family can really take a step further in his hands in the future."
At this time, another person walked out of the hall. He looked like an older housekeeper who was somewhat similar in age to Tian Lao.
"Master, I think this Qiao Meng is indeed unusual. He is calm-minded and capable. In time, he will definitely become an ascended dragon. This is the most appropriate time for our Bai family to make friends with him." Old Butler Guan said to Qiao Meng.
It is highly regarded.
"It's time to call him from now on. After tomorrow's ceremony, he will be my adopted son Bai Tian, and he will be a member of the Bai family. All clan members should call him Third Young Master." Bai Tian said seriously.
"Yes, congratulations to the head of the family for gaining another adopted son with outstanding talents." The old housekeeper congratulated.
"Don't use the word "you". I don't want Bai'er to know anything about that year, and I don't want him to have any possibility of becoming suspicious. Do you understand?" Bai Tian looked at the housekeeper with a gloomy face and said.
"Yes, I understand. I was negligent just now, so please don't blame the head of the family." The old housekeeper quickly knelt down and admitted his mistake. This would not end well in the Bai family if it made the head of the family unhappy.
"Okay, the old butler has also contributed a lot to our Bai family. How can I punish him easily? Just be more careful in the future. Go and prepare for the dinner. Don't neglect the guests at home." His expression suddenly changed back during the day.
With a gentler look, he ordered calmly.
"Yes, I'll go and give the order right away." After the old housekeeper said that, he immediately withdrew. In fact, he was still feeling cold in his heart, for fear that he might die if he was not careful.
In fact, this housekeeper has been working in the Bai family for more than 20 years. He has gradually risen from an ordinary gardener. Along the way, he has been careful not to covet the things he does in the slightest.
Because he knew that his previous term was taken down because he secretly embezzled the Bai family's money and refused to admit it after being found out, and even tried to seek power and usurp the throne. He was one of the people who buried the body at that time.
No matter what kind of person you are in the Bai family, as long as you have ability, you will definitely get a suitable position. You can have ambitions and greed, but if you touch something you dare not touch, you will only die.
Qiao Meng followed Baidu and walked for a long time before arriving at the room arranged for him. Once he entered, it was extremely luxurious. Even the entrance furnishings were decorated with wood carvings worth millions of dollars.
Qiao Meng just touched all the way in, and there were all treasures there. No matter who came to this room, they would probably never leave. It was so satisfying, as if they were enjoying the treatment like an emperor.
"Hey, didn't you say it's hard for your father to talk? Why do you see me talking so much? I don't know how to answer the conversation. I'm so enthusiastic." Qiao Meng looked at the furnishings in the room and turned his head to talk.
Du asked.
"No, in fact, he doesn't usually say these things to me at home. He only talks to my wife a little easier. I guess he really likes you. Who makes you more talented than me?" Baidu
He said helplessly, looking at Qiao Meng with a really envious look.
Seeing Baidu looking at him like this, Qiao Meng felt uncomfortable, so he comforted him and said, "Oh, I'm just talking casually. Your father probably cares most about you, but it's hard to describe a father's love."
Well, a kid from other people’s families like me can naturally say whatever he wants.”
"That's right, you are someone else's child, and I am my own child. If you always praise me or say nice things to me, wouldn't it be like the king's self-promotion? He is just tempering my will." Baidu
It's back to its previous state again.
"You change so fast, faster than a girl can change her face. Gee, I'm starting to doubt your identity." Qiao Meng shook his head and gradually moved away from Baidu.
"You are crazy. This is what you said and what you said, so how can I be normal?" Baidu glared at Qiao angrily and said speechlessly.
"I didn't know, but from now on, if I really become your father's adopted son, wouldn't that mean that I will become your younger brother?" Qiao Meng suddenly thought of this question, and he was a little unhappy. He was originally the eldest brother, and suddenly he became your younger brother.
The son becomes the younger brother again, which is a huge loss.
"Yes, in this case I can legitimately call you little brother when I go out. This is good, my dad is still very good to me." Baidu said happily.
"Hey, are you itchy? I think you deliberately arranged to see your dad today. Let's see how I deal with you!" Qiao Meng pretended to beat Baidu, so the two of them chased each other in the room.
The rush screen is extremely ridiculous.
"You two young masters, please come to the dining room for a banquet." At this time, a servant came and asked the two of them to have dinner.
