The substitute wife is an all-powerful boss

Gu Li turned to look at Old Lady Gu and said hesitantly, "Grandma, isn't it a bad idea for us to do this?"

Old Madam Gu snorted coldly, "What's wrong with that? If she was really that powerful, would she be afraid of being seen?"

Gu Li couldn't persuade Old Mrs. Gu, so he could only stand outside with her and wait.

Inner hall.

As soon as Wen Xu walked in, Mr. Liu came out to greet her.

"Miss Wen."

"Grandpa Liu, you're too polite. Since you're the elder, just call me by my name."

Old Master Liu smiled and stroked his beard. "Then I'll take advantage of your mother and call you Xuxu."

After saying that, Mr. Liu asked Wen Xu to sit down.

Wen Xu sat on the armchair beside him.

The housekeeper immediately brought tea and said respectfully, "Miss Wen, please have some tea."

"Thank you." Wen Xu picked up the cup and took a sip. A ripple suddenly appeared on his originally calm face. "Is this Snow Mountain Flying Mist?"

Mist over snowy mountains.

Hearing this, Mr. Liu's eyes lit up in surprise.

Even the butler was stunned.

Snow Mountain Flying Mist is a tea cake that Grandpa Liu has treasured for many years. He treasures it so much that he doesn’t even allow his own grandchildren to touch it. He only takes it out when entertaining VIPs.

But few customers can taste that this tea is the legendary Snow Mountain Flying Mist in one sip.

Wenxu is still the first one!

If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, who would have believed that a little girl who looked only seventeen or eighteen years old had such a deep understanding of tea.

Most young people nowadays like to drink milk tea and coffee, and the tea culture has gradually been forgotten.

The occasional appearance of a girl like Wen Xu is truly a welcome sight.

"Yes, this is Snow Mountain Flying Mist." Old Master Liu also picked up the cup and took a sip. "Xuxu really has good taste!"

"I can't say I have any taste, I just prefer drinking tea."

Mr. Liu then asked, "Besides tasting that this tea is Snow Mountain Flying Mist, did you taste anything else?"

Wen Xu picked up the cup again, but didn't drink it this time. He just sniffed it gently and said, "Well, the water for making tea is the wax snow taken from the red plum tree last winter."

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that "when the Taiyin Qi is strong, water condenses into snow", "water is yin, and wax snow is the yin among yins". Wax snow has special effects and can be used to treat many diseases.

"Compendium of Materia Medica" records that "La snow is sweet, cold and non-toxic, can detoxify all poisons, and cure epidemics caused by seasonal factors."

The "Chinese Medical Dictionary" says: "This thing (la snow) has a strong smell and is very cold in nature. It is a product that helps boost yang and restrains fire."

Therefore, throughout history, many large families would have people collect large amounts of wax snow during the cold winter months and seal and store it in the basement for making tea and cooking wine.

Wen Xu paused at this point and continued, "Not only winter snow, there should also be morning dew."

Dew is a liquid formed by the accumulation of yin energy, which is formed when it wets everything on the roadside. Therefore, many people believe that dew is also a Chinese medicinal ingredient. Washing your eyes with dew regularly will improve your eyesight.

Old Master Liu nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, yes! Xuxu, you're absolutely right. I brewed this tea myself, with dew and snow each making up half and half. You're truly remarkable at such a young age!"

At the end, Mr. Liu almost sighed out loud.

"You're too kind. I just like drinking tea and I know a little bit about Chinese medicine." Wen Xu said in a light tone.

The more Mr. Liu looked at Wen Xu, the more he felt that his judgment was correct!

This child is humble and polite. Although he has great talent, he is neither arrogant nor impatient. He is simply a perfect heir.

Thinking of this, Old Master Liu got straight to the point: "Xuxu, actually, I asked someone to call you over because I have something to discuss with you."

discuss?

Hearing this, the corner of the butler's mouth twitched.

The old man is crazy!

Does the position of the successor to the M9 laboratory still need to be discussed?

Those people outside are fighting for this position, is the old man still worried that Wen Xu will not agree?

"You can say whatever you want." Wen Xu continued.

Mr. Liu put down his teacup and said thoughtfully, "I'm sure you've heard that I have another purpose for holding this birthday banquet, which is to select the successor to the M9 laboratory."

Wen Xu nodded slightly.

Old Master Liu continued, "My grandsons are all mediocre in talent. I thought I would gain nothing today, but fortunately I found the heir."

"Congratulations." Wen Xu said with a smile.

Congratulate him?

It's that simple?

Mr. Liu was stunned.

Doesn’t Wen Xu care at all about who he chooses as his successor?

"Xuxu, why don't you ask me who the heir is?" Old Master Liu couldn't help but ask the doubts in his heart.

Since the old man asked this, Wen Xu cooperated and said, "Who is it?"

She is someone who is very good at providing emotional value.

"It's you." said Mr. Liu.

"Me?" Wen Xu pointed at himself.

"Yes." Mr. Liu nodded.

Wen Xu shook his head, "Grandpa Liu, please stop joking with me."

Mr. Liu said seriously, "I'm not kidding, Xuxu. With your abilities, you'll definitely be able to take the M9 lab international in the future."

"Grandpa Liu, thank you for thinking highly of me, but I may fail to live up to your expectations."

Wen Xu's voice was very faint, but it succeeded in stunning both Mr. Liu and the housekeeper beside him.

Neither of them expected that Wen Xu would actually refuse the position of heir.

This is something that outsiders can’t ask for!

The expression on the butler's face was so wonderful that he even wondered if he was dreaming.

This was a blessing that others couldn't even ask for, but Wen Xu actually rejected it so sweetly!

And it was so easy to refuse!

She didn't even hesitate.

It's as simple as saying no to eating buns tomorrow morning.

It was almost in stark contrast to Gu Li who came to visit him.

After a long while, Mr. Liu finally found his voice and asked, "Why?"

He also didn't expect Wen Xu to reject him.

How can there be people in this world who don’t pursue fame and fortune?

"First, I'm still a student, and my main focus must be on studying. Second, I'm not interested in this, and I don't know much about M9 Labs. If I accept your kindness out of vanity, it would be irresponsible to both you and M9 Labs."

Wen Xu paused at this point and said, "Grandpa Liu, I believe you can definitely find a more suitable successor than me."

Wen Xu said what was in his heart.

Since you are unwilling from the beginning, you should express your intention clearly and let Mr. Liu continue to look for other candidates.

"No one is more suitable than you," said Old Master Liu, unwilling to let go of such a good candidate. He spoke again, "Xuxu, are you really not considering this anymore?"

Wen Xu shook his head.

After a long while, Grandpa Liu sighed and continued, "In that case, I won't force you, but Xuxu, remember, as long as I am here, the position of heir to the M9 laboratory will always be reserved for you." At this time, Grandpa Liu only hated that Wenxu was not his own granddaughter!

If Wen Xu was his granddaughter, he would tie her up and take her to the M9 laboratory.

"Thank you for your kindness." Wen Xu stood up from the armchair. "My mother is still waiting for me in the banquet hall. If Grandpa Liu doesn't have anything else to do, I'll go over first."

Mr. Liu personally saw Wen Xu off.

Wen Xu stopped at the door and said, "Grandpa Liu, just send me here. I can go back to the banquet hall by myself."

Mr. Liu nodded and said, "Okay."

Old Mrs. Gu, who was waiting at the door, saw that Old Mr. Liu was so respectful to Wen Xu and even personally escorted her out. The expression on Old Mrs. Gu's face was very ugly. You know, her precious granddaughter had never received such grand treatment from Old Mr. Liu!

After Wen Xu's back disappeared in front.

Old Madam Gu quickly walked over to Old Man Liu and spoke in an unhappy tone, "Brother, was that little girl the one you chose as the heir? I don't think she's even half as good as Ali! What benefits did that little girl's family give you? I'm willing to pay ten times! No, twenty times! As long as you can make Ali the heir to the M9 laboratory, I'm willing to do anything."
