Chapter 18: Manager Su (Two)

”Hold your tongue!” His tone of voice not yet falling, Cao Yun had already pulled him over fiercely and firmly pushed him down on the sofa, looking into his eyes and saying frankly: ”I am telling you. In this world, there are men that cannot be weighed by wealth. Yes… these men, there are indeed men in the world that can rival them, that can make shake those mega corporations to their very core. Examples like China's Imperial Qin Court, Britain's DuPont family, or a couple major financial groups… however, our Sanshui City's Cao Clan absolutely isn't anything!”

”Even if it is the world's authorities, they also can only use wealth and their enormous connections to trade with the other side. When did you it become your turn to speak? In comparison to these apex powers, isn't our Cao Clan as big as an ant?!”

”I brought you here in order to let the other know of my good faith! Not to let you anger him! How many times have I told you!”

These words seemed to exhaust his entire body of strength. He sat down disappointedly and leaned against the sofa, shutting his eyes: ”Mosheng… you should be intelligent… There will inevitably be a day where Grandfather won't be able to continue carrying along. I regret… I truly regret… spoiling you so much… Tonight, just stand there obediently and don't say anything… Promise, Grandfather, alright?”*

Cao Mosheng was dazed, believing he had heard incorrectly.

Before, his grandfather had told him that they were going to see a man. His grandfather, as the present family patriarch and sitting chairman, and Cao Mosheng, the next patriarch and next chairman, had to treat this person properly. He had originally believed it was someone that had to met, but the result turned out to surprisingly be the new captain of the Disciplinary and Reconnaissance Group!

At the present, Cao Yun had went so far as to say that even China's number one enterprise the Imperial Qin Court's sitting chair Tie Xue in the prime of his years had to treat such a person equally?

A peasant… dressed so casually with the sum value of his clothing that he wore from head to toe equalling less than five hundred bucks?

”Promise me!” His train of thought not yet concluded, his grandfather's voice rang out once again. It wasn't until after firmly clenching his teeth a good few times did Cao Mosheng lower his head and purse his lips deeply: ”Got it.”

Only then did Cao Yun genuinely release his bated breath. Soon after, he looked towards Manager Su nervously and pursed his lips: ”Miss Su… This time… Their branch shouldn't be aware of it, right…”

Manager Su was evidently stunned, sighing faintly: ”The branch...?”

”I don't what kind of place it is, as well… Legend has it, it is a mystical world… A genuine world of immortals… In the myths, it is said monsters can be seen and there are warriors that can split and hack mountains apart into rubble… Hehe, however, it is only a legend… Lord Yun, this isn't sufficient enough to believe in, but I dare to be sure of two matters.”

She looked at Cao Yun deeply: ”One, the key to enter the 'truth' is there. The cornerstone. The starting point.”

”The truth…” The hoa.r.s.eness of Cao Yun's voice carried an incomparably emotional stirring, and he laughed bitterly: ”What truth… The so-called 'real world'?”

”Perhaps.” Manager Su's eyes carried the same unequalled yearning in kind: ”This key… The second matter I can confirm is that the Cao Clan has still not drawn the qualifications to be valued as key.”

Cao Yun was silent for a moment, and he unexpectedly laughed: ”Like so… I can set my worries aside.”

”Scoff…” Cao Mosheng sneered, his eyes carrying a cold light as he swept them over at Manager Su.

At this moment, the sound of knocking echoed out.

He had discovered a startling matter once again.

Manager Su stood up immediately and tidied her maquillage once more. As for Cao Yun, he deeply inhaled several times, not tarrying in the slightest to stand up, only…

He didn't know whether it was an illusion or not, but he thought to himself were the muscles of his grandfather's face… trembling?

Why!?

On what basis!?

Excitement?

Fear?!

Are you f.u.c.king kidding me?!

The complexion of Cao Mosheng's face was incomparably gloomy.

A mere captain… I want to take a look… how great your background is to make grandfather lower his head to you like this!

You best pray it is great… otherwise, tomorrow will be the day you're sent packing out of Sanshui City!

”I hope I haven't come late.” Xu Yangyi entered through the door. As for the matter of Manager Su failing to change her shoes, the meaning was rather clear: please, at your will.

Xu Yangyi still changed into slippers accordingly. His gaze faintly stretching forwards, he laughed: ”You didn't tell me there would be other guests tonight.”

”I'm extremely sorry!” In Cao Mosheng's astonished sight, Cao Yun nearly bowed to the floor: ”I am your humble servant Cao Yun. This is my grandson, Cao Mosheng. We are truly ashamed to look upon the immortal master… Please, we beg your forgiveness.”

”Grandfather.”

”Shut the h.e.l.l up!” Just as his tone of voice fell, Cao Yun's entire head was dotted with a cold sweat, and he directly straightened his body, looking at Cao Mosheng resentfully for failing to meet his expectations: ”Remember my words!”

Cao Mosheng was stunned. It was completely outside of his expectations that his grandfather would surprisingly admonish him in front of a total stranger!

Chinese people paid particular attention to face. But now that a major affair was being spoken back on, he had actually been rebuked?

”Son of a b.i.t.c.h…” In his heart, he silently cursed, and an icy-cold edge emerged within his eyes. Coldly sweeping his eyes towards Xu Yangyi, he feigned deference and stood over on the side.

”Hehe…” Manager Su faintly laughed and carried over a pot of coffee. She glanced deeply full of meaning at the youthful face of Cao Mosheng that was incapable of concealing his inner thoughts, taking a cup and placing it on the table: ”Lord Cao, we can be considered acquaintances. However, tonight, I cannot help you plead.”

”It's not necessary.” Cao Mosheng forcefully choked back on his anger.

”You…” Cao Yun nearly spat out blood. This child was raised from childhood to be spoiled and pampered, however, in the Cao Family's three successions of sons, his father had pa.s.sed away in a car accident. The family's grand properties and estates could only be given to him!

Even if it was during ordinary times… at this critical juncture… he had in spite of everything blurted nonsense!

”Forget about it.” Xu Yangyi lit a cigarette: ”It's nothing serious. It's problematic to demand the wealthy son of a multi-million dollar company to treat a person like me who gets a thousand in allowance every month equally.”

Cao Mosheng laughed.

A thousand, was this supposed to be an allowance?

”You best pray you got something important deserving of my grandfather's attention…” He carried a blood-thirsty smile as he lowered his head, licking at his chapped lips, noting darkly to himself in his heart: ”Otherwise… I don't mind letting you know who's got the final say in Sanshui City…”
