Following Crime (NSITNL Volume 2) ✔️

Chapter 42 Vol. 2

    In the face of Xia Liang's straightforward refusal, Ying Mohua didn't get angry. He just said with a low smile, "Mr Xia is too self-effacing. However, I also blame me for being rash and presumptuous. Forget it this time, and wait... We have a chance to meet." The tone is very determined, as if everything is already in sight.

    Zhou Shuo listened carefully to Xia Liang's call. After the other party hung up, he asked: "Brother Liang, this Ying Mohua...you know?"

    "About ten years ago, did you have a fate? "Xia Liang tried hard to recall, "At that time, I was still in college. Taking advantage of the summer vacation, I went to my dad’s branch in the United States for an internship. Once my dad was invited by a friend and took me to their reception. There, I met Morton, who is now Ying Mohua."

    "You... have a good talk?" Zhou Shuo asked tentatively.

    "That's right. At that time I didn't know his background identity. Because of his age, we talked a few words and found that in some aspects, the perception was more consistent. In addition, he was the only one in the reception—a little bit of China. People of descent speak fluent Chinese, so naturally they feel closer.” The

    more Zhou Shuo listens, the less it tastes. Now he, no matter how hard he studies, it is difficult for him to catch up to the height of Xia Liang's consciousness. , But Ying Mohua did it easily ten years ago. Or in other words, he is a higher level existence than Xia Liang. I am afraid that Zhou Shuo will not be able to match it in his life, let alone surpass it.

    Although he is very uncomfortable, However, Zhou Shuo forced himself to continue to ask, "Then...Why didn't you keep in touch afterwards?"

    "We originally exchanged contact information," Xia Liang's words made Zhou Shuo's heart instantly cool, but tight. Then another sentence dragged him back from hell, "But the night I got home, I deleted his contact information."

    "Why?"

    "I said, I didn't know his background identity at the time. He only told me his name without mentioning his last name. It must have reservations to me. I am not stupid, except that I exchanged my name. , And did not disclose too much information. But because I was a little curious about him, when I returned home that night, I found his true identity on the Internet."

    Zhou Shuo was a little surprised: "Is he so famous back then? , Can you find it online?"

    "I was just trying to try my luck." Xia Liang said, "because when I was talking to him, I found that the brooch on his suit was ruby-colored-as soon as I was there. Before I followed my father into the venue, I found that when some invited guests were handing out invitations, the receptionist would respectfully present them with a ruby ​​brooch. Their invitations were of a different color from ours, and the treatment they received was a world of difference. .

    "so I was to see him brooch when you vaguely guess his status may be somewhat unusual, but I did not expect that he should be the third heir Nelson family, in the family Support should not be underestimated. I realized that I might have provoked someone who shouldn’t be provoked, so I immediately discussed the matter with my dad. My dad’s thoughts were with me—to, he was confirming that I did not disclose other than my name and phone number. After too much information, I suggested that I change my mobile phone number and stop contacting him again. "

    Zhou Shuo somewhat perplexed:" But why, his backing so much, and if you can climb on their family. "

    Xia Liang laughed: "I wonder if you have heard that there is also a right saying in the cooperative business circle." "

    Week New Moon shook his head.

    " Our family is like the Song, "cool in summer patiently explained," We are two grandfathers start from scratch, but three generations of accumulated possessions, which in the eyes of ordinary people, regarded as heritage Not bad, but in the eyes of those chaebols that can be traced back more than a dozen or even dozens of generations, our new family businesses are weaker than ants in vitality. "

    Zhou Shuo said suddenly: "So we and the Song family are the right partners in the so-called business district. "

    "Yes," Xia Liang nodded, "Business cooperation requires not only the foundation, but also the fate. The Xia family and the Song family have worked together several times when they were grandfathers, and the friendship has always been good, so Even if the relationship between Song Yan and Xiaolin is controversial, there is still room for change.

    "But imagine if one of them is a big family like Nelson, then the status of the two cannot be equal, and it is impossible. There is a situation of cooperation and mutual benefit. Under such a background, if two young lovers insist on being together despite the opposition of their elders, it will only end in tragedy. Regardless of marriage and love, the same is true for business cooperation alone. At the beginning, my dad asked me to disconnect from Morton as soon as possible because he was afraid that the supporters behind Morton would be wildly jealous, thinking it was an encounter with impure motives, and then he was defensive and even hostile towards us. "

    Zhou Shuo understand:" The large family like that of Nelson, who want to rely on them should be a lot of it? "It's

    true a lot, but it also depends on whether it's useful to them." "Xia Liang smiled helplessly," I said before, in their opinion, a family with a shallow background like ours is not worth mentioning, and there is no need to bother to solicit. If the opponent doesn't like it, and we have to send it to the door wishful thinking, there are only two results-either, being treated as a chess piece, using it when you want to use it, or leaving it far away if you don't want to use it; or , Is treated as cannon fodder, thrown away when used up. Although our Xia family's background is shallow, there are still some Chinese people who have the backbone, and there is no need to automatically send it to the door to receive this squat. "

    Zhou Shuo asked again: "But what you just said is that you weigh the benefits and losses from the perspective of the family, so personally, since you and Morton have enjoyed a good relationship, you just broke the connection. Do you... Reluctant? "

    Xia Liang glanced at Zhou Shuo amusedly: "Is there anything I can't bear to bear? In places like cocktail parties, there are too many people who are imaginary and stubborn. Even if I meet one or two people who can talk, who knows what the other party thinks? Yes, you can take out your sincere heart at will?

    "What's more, after that reception, my vacation is over. I just replaced the phone that I bought temporarily in the United States, and the card inside was also Just saved a few numbers, which didn't affect me much. If Ying Mohua hadn't appeared this time, I would have forgotten about the incident ten years ago. "

    Zhou Shuo can hear him completely, but he said: "You forget him thoroughly, but he seems to still miss you." "

    Xia Liangjing mentioned it, and he seemed to be a little concerned, and muttered: "I really didn't expect that he would return to China first to take over the matriarchal industry. It seems...the struggle for inheritance rights within their family has gradually emerged He came out of the water. He found me at this time and showed me such kindness. What is his purpose?"

    Zhou Shuo thought for a while and volunteered: "Brother Liang, do you want me..."

    Xia Liang waved his hand: " It’s better to be cautious, and don’t act rashly until you know what the other party is coming from. We will do nothing during this period of time and just wait and see what happens."
