Zhuang Mingjue chatted with He Lanming out of politeness.

The old man was nearly seventy years old, his hair was already graying, but he was very tough. He patted Zhuang Mingjue's shoulder admiringly: "Young man is young and promising, your father didn't train you for nothing."

Zhuang Shishan said modestly: "Where is it, how dare he, a junior, fight in front of old Mr. He Lan, and he will learn more from you in the future."

The old man laughed loudly: "You are being modest, not every family can have such an outstanding boy."

After he finished speaking, he snorted dissatisfiedly: "That useless son of my family knows how to make trouble for me, make things difficult for me, and he is almost seventy and still working outside."

Zhuang Shishan chuckled twice and laughed: "Old man, those who are capable will do more work. Of course, all the children will rely on you."

Everyone knew about the family affairs of He Lan's family, and there was really nothing to boast about among the descendants. Zhuang Shishan didn't dare to say more, for fear of meeting He Lanming's rebellion.

He Lanming smiled and said quite proudly: "But having said that, although my son is not good, my little grandson is quite talented. If he is here, he may be able to compare with your kid."

Zhuang Shishan smiled: "Of course, young master Helan is a dragon and a phoenix, so he is naturally better than our Mingjue."

These few words of flattery just fit He Lanming's heart, he laughed a few times, then shook his head and sighed softly: "It's a pity that the child is too stubborn, he doesn't know that life is easy, and he always has to suffer."

"Don't worry, old man. Auspicious people have their own nature." Zhuang Shishan comforted, "It's normal for the young master to be overwhelmed for a while when he is young and energetic. When he grows up and becomes sensible, he will come back naturally."

He Lanming nodded, today is Zhuang Shishan's birthday banquet, even though He Lanming is a distinguished guest, it's not easy to steal the limelight from the host, two people seated, after a banquet, the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves.

After the banquet, He Lanming invited Zhuang Shishan to have a private chat, and the two went to the reception room upstairs of the hotel together, and the matter of seeing off the guests naturally fell on Zhuang Mingjue's head.

It was almost evening when the two of them came out, and the guests had already left. Zhuang Mingjue sat alone in the coffee shop in a corner of the hotel, drinking tea while watching the cars coming and going outside to pass the time.

Soon, Zhuang Shishan and He Lanming got off the elevator and bid farewell at the hotel entrance.

Zhuang Mingjue rested his chin on one hand and watched He Lanming's car gradually go away until it disappeared. He stood up, buttoned his coat, and walked straight towards Zhuangshi Mountain.

"You haven't left yet?" Zhuang Shishan was quite surprised to see Zhuang Mingjue, "Waiting for me here?"

"Well, I'll wait for you to ask for labor fees." Zhuang Mingjue put his hands behind his back, "My birthday party guests want me to deliver them, your wishful thinking is too good."

Zhuang Shishan was furious: "Is it difficult for you to do some work for me?"

Zhuang Mingjue tilted his head: "A little bit."

There was smoke coming from Zhuang Shishan's nostrils, but there were countless pairs of eyes staring at him, so he could only gouged Zhuang Mingjue out of breath.

Zhuang Mingjue naturally ignored the white eyes: "What are you talking about with He Lanming for so long?"

"For business matters, I'll go to the company and tell you in detail later."

"Isn't their family's business always on Meishan Island? Want to transfer it to us?"

"That's right," Zhuang Shishan nodded, "The old man wants to open up our market. In the past two years, his business has gradually expanded to Qingcheng. By the way—"

"It seems that there is some clue about the whereabouts of his little grandson. While he came to deal with business, he was also looking for someone."

"His grandson is still alive?"

Zhuang Mingjue was a little surprised. He heard that the young master was only ten years old when he ran away from home. After so many years of not hearing from him, many people thought he was dead.

"Who knows, this kind of thing is like looking for a needle in a haystack. It's not certain whether the one you find is his grandson."

Zhuang Shishan's assistant drove the car to the door, Zhuang Shishan sat in, and waved to Zhuang Mingjue: "Let's go back to have a meal together? You haven't been home for a long time."

"Didn't you tell me to ask for labor fees? I just bought a piece of Patek Philippe. If you like it, you can take it."

Zhuang Mingjue was completely unmoved by Zhuang Shishan's famous watch, he turned his eyes away: "No time, I have to go back first."

Zhuang Shishan's face immediately darkened: "No time? You don't have any kind of time, do you think I don't know? But I just went to accompany your little lover!"

"You're so old, I won't stop you if you have one or two people to accompany you outside, but you must always be careful." Zhuang Shishan frowned: "You are almost thirty, find someone to settle down quickly. You can play, those outside People must never go to the house to get it. You know what is going on in our house, not to mention how good the other party's conditions are, at least they must be of the same family."

"The entire Hongcheng can't find anyone who is right with our family, right? Or do you want me to marry?" Zhuang Mingjue curled his lips, "I agree, it is decent and convenient to be able to increase the power of the family through marriage."

Zhuang Shishan raised his eyebrows, and before he could say anything, Zhuang Mingjue added: "But I'm not very good at serving others, if you really have this idea, why don't you discuss it with your mother, if she doesn't beat you to death, you can Pack up and send yourself to someone else's house."

Zhuang Shishan was taken aback, and it took him a long time to understand what Zhuang Mingjue meant.

"Brat, are you kidding me?" Zhuang Shishan raised his foot and was about to kick him, but Zhuang Mingjue moved away to dodge him.

"Go away, disappear before my eyes!" Zhuang Shishan closed the car door angrily, "In the future, unless you get married, don't come back and block my eyes."

Zhuang Mingjue bent down and leaned closer to the car window: "Then I'll bring someone back next time for you to meet?"

"Bring him back and want me to admit him? You're dreaming!" Zhuang Shishan snorted, "My request is only one, and the right family is right. As long as you can bring a respectable family, I have no objection. Others, no!"

"Then what should I bring?"

Zhuang Shishan's face immediately darkened.

Zhuang Mingjue joined the company at the age of 22, and he has shown enough ability to support the entire group. Zhuang Shishan has gradually delegated power to be the hands-off shopkeeper in the past two years, and Zhuang Mingjue has begun to take charge of many matters in the family.He is proud of his son's excellence, but it doesn't mean that he allows Zhuang Mingjue to go against him.

"You can try it." Zhuang Shishan said coldly, "Your grandfather is still here, and so am I. Let's see if you, a kid who has lived less than 30 years, can get out of the sky."

Zhuang Mingjue stopped talking, straightened his waist, and said to the driver in front: "Uncle Zhang, thank you for taking my dad home."

That's enough for this matter, he doesn't intend to break up with Zhuang Shishan now, it will not be good for him or Su Chi.

Zhuang Shishan pursed his lips and looked at Zhuang Mingjue's face, he was also testing his intentions.

"I'll let your mother find a suitable blind date for you," Zhuang Shishan said in a deep voice, "If you find one, you know what to do."

Zhuang Mingjue didn't answer whether he saw it or not, he just smiled and nodded: "Got it."

This answer did not reassure Zhuang Shishan. This kid has been selfish since he was a child, and he will not listen to what others say, and he will do everything according to his own will.

Zhuang Shishan wanted to say a few more words, but Zhuang Mingjue suddenly changed the subject: "By the way, I remember that my mother seems to have an imperial purple diamond necklace, and it's still in the safe?"

Zhuang Shishan was taken aback by the question: "That's right."

"Have you changed the password?"

"Why change it? There are security guards in the front and back of the house."

"Oh, that's okay." Zhuang Mingjue shrugged, "I'll just ask casually."

Zhuang Shishan gave him a strange look, and said to his assistant, "Let's go."

-

Zhuang Mingjue wasn't there, so Su Chi picked a movie to pass the time by himself. It was approaching evening, and the movie was about to air. When Su Chi was lying on the sofa in a daze and was about to fall asleep, the phone rang suddenly.

He thought it was Zhuang Mingjue, picked up the phone and looked, the number displayed on the screen made his eyes darken.

The bell was still ringing, Su Chi took a few glances, and finally pressed the call button.

"Hey?"

"Hey, Su, cough, Su Chi," a middle-aged man's voice came from the receiver, "You, you graduated recently, right?"

"Yes, I just graduated," Su Chi said calmly, "What can I do for you?"

On the other side of the receiver was his nominal adoptive father. Although he had not been treated harshly for so many years, the relationship was just like that. The couple had a boy who was four years younger than Su Chi, so they naturally focused on their own child.

"Are you looking for a job?"

"Not yet," Su Chi repeated again, too lazy to talk nonsense with Sun Wei, "If you have something to say, just say it, I'm very busy."

The other party's obviously unfamiliar attitude stunned Sun Wei for a moment, and he stammered after a long while: "That's it, your brother, isn't Sun Bochao going to university today? He applied for a Sino-foreign joint venture, and the optical fee is 10,000+ a year. We , we really can’t afford it.”

"Can't afford it?" Su Chi blinked, "Then repeat it, find a cheaper domestic university, and you will be less stressed."

"This, this—" Sun Wei was a little embarrassed, "He passed the exam."

Su Chi pursed his lips and smiled: "So you want to borrow money from me?"

Sun Wei choked for a moment, and then explained: "I, I really have no other choice."

"Do you think I have it?" Su Chi was very calm, "I rely on other people's funding to go to college, where can I fill this 10,000+ hole for you?"

"Yeah, but, you're not—"

"Sun Wei, I have already given you the money that should be given to you. According to the agreement, we have settled the relationship." Su Chi said coldly, "If you recognize me as an adopted son, I will also recognize you as a father. It's a matter of course. But other than that, I have nothing else to give you."

"Yeah, don't say that," Sun Wei was a little anxious, "Would it work if I borrowed from you? I'm really short of money."

"That's your business."

"Su Chi, at least I raised you up to this age."

"You raise me?" Su Chi sneered, "Aside from being a guardian for so many years, what have you done? Have you ever spent a penny on me?"

"Yes, but—"

"Don't say any more," Su Chi interrupted him, "If you don't have it, you don't. If you're only looking for me to borrow money, then we don't need to contact you in the future. It's good for you and me."
