The security guard opened the door and greeted me, bowing his head, "Master is waiting for you, young master, please!"
I hadn't been here half a day, and I'd gone from Xiao Sheng to Young Master. If Principal Sun had seen through me just now, I'd probably be undergoing torture right now, let alone a young master, I wouldn't even be a grandson.
Life is like this, great sorrow and great joy are in a single thought, one wrong step, and you fall from heaven to hell.
I don't know if I'm walking into heaven or hell now. I'm walking a tightrope, with heaven and hell beneath my feet, and a single misstep will send me into the abyss.
There was another security guard standing at the main entrance. Seeing me approach, he quickly bowed and led me in.
He led me to the villa in front, saying that the chairman was waiting for me in the living room.
Xie Jiahui saw me coming and was waiting for me at the living room entrance, with Xie Nana by his side.
Xie Nana was wearing a light blue dress today, which made her look even more delicate and charming under the light.
When Xie Nana saw me, she ran over from her father, as if she hadn't seen me in years. Ignoring the security guard and Xie Jiabao who were nearby, she threw herself into my arms.
Girls who have returned from abroad are indeed different. If it were Jing Lei, she would never dare to do this in front of her father, even if she were beaten to death.
Xie Jiabao pretended not to see, and greeted me, "Xiao Hao, come in quickly, I have something to tell you."
Xie Nana let go of me and pulled my hand as we walked inside.
This building was larger than the one behind it, with a living room more than twice the size.
Xie Jiabao asked me to sit on the sofa, and Xie Nana snuggled up next to me as if she were glued to me.
Xie Jiabao: "We are all family, so I'll be direct. I want you to understand the process of this chairman's business better. Your Uncle Hui intends for us to build such a platform ourselves. You know, we have to rely on ourselves for everything, and we have the strength to build such a team. Your Uncle Hui attaches great importance to this matter and plans to let you take the lead, giving you the position of overall leader. As for the salary, you and your family will not be able to spend it in a lifetime."
I pretended to be surprised and said, "Wow, how can there be so much money? What you said about transporting goods, it must be very valuable, right?"
Xie Jiabao: "Don't worry about what the goods are for now. First, master this channel. As for what the goods are, you will naturally be told when the time comes."
I said, "It's not something illegal, is it?"
Xie Jiabao: "What are you saying? As your godfather, would I let my own child jump into a fiery pit? Don't worry, we just want to control the source of the market and do the only business in the world, that's why we invest such large funds. Don't overthink it, we just want to monopolize."
I said, "If my godfather has such great ambitions, then as a junior, I must support you. Don't worry, I'll think of a way. We can't do it openly, otherwise what would I be? Besides, he's guarding against me, so I can't get in deeply."
Xie Jiabao: "Of course. But you must hurry. After we sell this batch of goods, we'll try to transport the next batch ourselves."
I said, "Isn't that a bit too fast? After all, building a team takes time."
Xie Jiabao: "Time is tight and the task is heavy. We'll walk on two legs. I'll recruit computer talents nationwide, and you'll quickly come up with the core secrets. Jiahui will be responsible for the overseas team. With our three-pronged approach, why should we fear the tight schedule?" Da Feng Xiao Shuo
I didn't expect them to have such a thorough plan. It seems that Uncle Hui calling me over tonight wasn't to make things difficult for me, but to try to sway me. It was just that Principal Sun had to interfere and cause such a scene, which almost exposed me.
I said, "I didn't expect you to have done so much preparatory work here. I'll get it done as soon as I go back. Please rest assured, godfather."
Xie Jiabao: "That's right. I haven't misjudged you. With your addition, my Xie family will be even more powerful, and our business will be more prosperous and prestigious! Come, come, let's have another drink, to celebrate our endeavor."
Saying that, he asked us to move to the dining room of the building behind, the place where I got drunk.
Today was fine, the table was set with white wine, no red wine. Xie Jiabao sat in the main seat, and Xie Nana and I sat opposite him.
We both drank quite a bit at noon. He was clearly very excited tonight and didn't show any signs of fatigue.
It was still a large glass for each of us.
Xie Nana took her glass and said to her father, "Let's just compete a bit tonight, no need to drink so much."
Xie Jiabao: "You're already speaking up for him before we've even started. Fine, I'll listen to you. I'll drink it all, Xiao Hao, feel free. I'm mainly happy. Today we've moved things forward a big step. I must drink this glass."
After saying that, he tilted his head back and drank it down. I quickly took the glass from Xie Nana's hand and followed suit.
Although he said that, I couldn't really be casual.
He, on the other hand, didn't have the service girl refill my glass. She only poured a little symbolically, and he poured himself half a glass.
He didn't have a high alcohol tolerance. He had drunk so much at noon, and it was already difficult for him to hold on until now. If he drank any more, he would probably collapse.
We talked for a while longer, and then he called a waiter to arrange for me to rest.
Of course, he couldn't openly let me sleep with Xie Nana.
Xie Nana said to her father, "I'll escort him to his room. You should rest early too."
Xie Jiabao waved us away.
The security guards led us to the second floor and opened a guest room for me. A girl was tidying the bed in the room. Seeing us enter, she stood aside and said, "Sir, it's all ready, please rest."
Xie Nana: "Okay, there's nothing else for you here. You can leave."
The security guard and the girl responded and retreated.
Seeing the security guard and the others leave and close the door, Xie Nana threw herself into my arms, stood on her tiptoes, hooked her arms around my neck, and brought her lips closer.
I didn't doubt for a moment that Xie Nana's affection for me was pure. She loved passionately, loved simply, and loved recklessly.
Xie Jiabao and Xie Jiahui were just using me. All this talk about adopting a son and inheriting the family business was just for their so-called careers, and they didn't hesitate to use their own daughter as a bargaining chip!
Thinking about it, these people were truly despicable to the extreme!
Fortunately, Xie Nana was not like them. She was not controlled by them; she genuinely liked me from the bottom of her heart.
I could distinguish between true love and acting.
We lingered for a long time. She showed no intention of returning to her own room. I said, "You go take a bath. I need to make a call to the chairman to report on my work."
Xie Nana obediently hummed and took a towel and bathrobe from the closet to go to the bathroom.
This was a business room, and I saw a telephone in the office area.
I picked up the phone and called my senior.
I said, "Chairman, I'm staying at Chairman Xie's house tonight, so I won't be going back. Are there any other arrangements for work?"
Senior: "Everything is going smoothly. Rest assured, and come back on time tomorrow."
After speaking, the senior hung up. His words reassured me a lot. I knew that "everything is going smoothly" definitely referred to the matters at the Grand World. At least, there were no major problems, otherwise he wouldn't have said everything was going smoothly.
We didn't dare to say anything else on the phone, in case there was surveillance, which would be like confessing and exposing our identities.
