After returning from the airport, Qu Datou sat at home for a while and got up to go to the company. Suddenly an idea burst into his mind.
He turned back to his son sitting on the sofa and said earnestly:
"Lianjie, you are already twenty-five or six years old. You should be doing something serious. Instead of eating, drinking and having fun every day, why don't you come to work in the company~"
Xu Li originally wanted to go over and help her husband tidy up his clothes, but when she heard this, her expression changed instantly. What did this mean? Could it be that she wanted to train his son.
This was not possible. From now on, the Qu family's business would belong to her daughter Xiaoxiao. Thinking of this, Xu Li racked her brains to think of a way. She felt that Qu Lianjie could not be allowed to work in the company.
Otherwise, when his daughter returns to China in four or five years, not to mention inheriting the company, there may not even be a steel penny left.
Sweat almost broke out on her forehead in such a hurry that Xu Li didn't think of a good idea. In the end, she could only rely on Qu Lianjie to refuse. After all, he had raised this little bastard all these years to eat, drink and have fun.
Qu Lianjie was sitting on the sofa. He wanted to refuse his father's proposal, but he inadvertently noticed his stepmother's expression and had an idea in his mind!
So he pretended to agree:
"Okay, I'll go to the company to work in two days!"
Qu Datou nodded. Although he was not satisfied with the answer that he would go to work in two days, he didn't say anything more and turned around to leave the house and walk outside.
After her husband left, Xu Li was still a little unwilling to give up, so she forced a smile on her face and asked Qu Lianjie hypocritically:
"Lianjie, are you telling the truth just now, or are you lying to your father? Do you really plan to go to work in the company?"
Qu Lianjie leaned on the sofa, raised his head and said with a serious face:
"Of course I want to go, and I also plan to learn from the grassroots level, one step at a time. I estimate that after four or five years of training, my dad will be able to work for me as a branch manager~"
Speaking of this, Qu Lianjie also pretended to be very sad:
"I've caused a lot of trouble for my dad over the years. I figured it out just now. After I go to work, I have to change my ways, start a new life, and help my dad run the company well~"
After he finished speaking, he kept staring at Xu Li, wanting to see her reaction.
When Xu Li heard this, her teeth were itching with hatred. In her opinion, the Qu family's money was earned by her and Qu Datou together, and it should all belong to her daughter.
If this old song really goes by what this little bastard said, he will definitely become the heir. What about his daughter Xiaoxiao?
Xu Li took a deep breath, showed a smile that was uglier than crying, and asked in a tone that she thought was very gentle:
"Lianjie, are you short of money recently? Why don't you give me some to spend first?"
"Hahaha~" Qu Lianjie burst into laughter upon hearing this.
Xu Li thought he agreed, and she was instantly overjoyed. She sat on the single sofa nearby, couldn't wait to take out a bank card from her wallet, and handed it over:
"There are 100,000 here, you use it first~"
Qu Lianjie didn't even look at the bank card, and shook his head expressionlessly:
"It's not enough, we have to pay more!"
The smile on Xu Li's face froze when she heard this, and she asked doubtfully:
"How much do you want?"
Qu Lianjie smiled, no longer trying to beat around the bush, and directly said:
"You just don't want me to work in the company. There's no problem with that. As long as I see a suitable price, I can tell the old man not to go!"
"Of course, if your price is right, I can even move out of this house, and I guarantee it won't be an eyesore!"
"How about these two conditions? Please give me a price!"
When Xu Li heard this, she felt mixed feelings. She was happy that these two things had really come to her heart. If she could really do it, it would be worth spending some money.
What's worrying is that this little bastard seems to have become smarter overnight for some reason, and a little money shouldn't be enough to satisfy his appetite.
After thinking for a while, Xu Licai gritted her teeth and stretched out a finger to tentatively ask:
"How about Aunt Xu giving you another one million~"
Later, he was afraid that Qu Lianjie would disagree, so he quickly explained:
"This is a lot of money. A worker in your father's company may not be able to earn so much even if he works hard for ten years!"
Seeing this, Qu Lianjie shook his head first, then stood up and pretended to say:
"Aunt Xu is still treating Lianjie like a child. I think we don't need to continue chatting anymore. Let's open up the skylight and speak frankly. You should know the meaning of my dad asking me to go to work in the company just now!"
"You want to send me away with one million?"
"Forget it, I'd better go to work in the company, and live at home down-to-earth from now on. After all, living outside is not as comfortable as at home~" After that, he was about to leave.
"Wait~" Xu Li was also anxious here, stood up and called him quickly.
"Is there anything wrong with Aunt Xu?" Qu Lianjie turned around and asked pretending to be confused.
Xu Li took a few deep breaths and felt that it was impossible not to bleed. She asked in a low tone:
"How much does it cost to stop working at the company and move out of this home?"
Qu Lianjie smiled again when he heard this and stretched out a finger directly towards Xu Li:
"Add another zero!"
When Xu Li heard this, she lost her composure on the spot:
"Ten million, are you crazy?"
"Do you know how much ten million is? You dare to speak like this? Besides, I just asked you not to work in the company. Don't you think this price is too outrageous?"
Qu Lianjie also said seriously:
"Aunt Xu, I think it's fair. My sister Xiaoxiao went to college in the United States, and my father gave her 10 million. If I went to work in a company, after five years of experience, Xiaoxiao would only have a little bit of money when she came back. There’s no chance!”
"Of course, this price is definitely not enough to make me give up my inheritance rights, so I can promise you that as long as you pay this money and Xiaoxiao doesn't come back, I will never go to work in the company and move out of the Qu family immediately!"
Xu Li's face was livid with anger, and she had to admit that this little bastard was right, although she didn't know why he became shrewd.
The only thing that is certain now is that if he is really given five years to work in the company, it will be too late for his daughter to come back.
So Xu Li thought about her little treasury, stared at Qu Lianjie, gritted her teeth and said:
"I promise you, it's just 10 million. I'll pay for it, but you have to keep your word. According to what you just said, as long as Xiao Xiao doesn't come back, you won't go to work in the company!"
"And from your dad's side, you have to explain yourself, and at the same time, you have to move out of here as soon as possible. Now I'm annoyed when I see you!
"In order to prevent you from going back on your word, we have to make an agreement. Is that okay?"
Qu Lianjie nodded and said happily:
"Of course it's no problem. We'll sign the agreement when the money arrives!"
At this time, Xu Li suddenly thought that she was so excited just now that she couldn't get the money at once, so she probably had to raise it, so she said with some embarrassment:
"Let me tell you, you also know that ten million is not a small amount, you have to give me some time~"
"How long?" Qu Lianjie also understood very well that 10 million in cash was indeed not something he could just take out.
Xu Li thought for a moment and replied:
"You will get what you want in 3 days!"
Qu Lianjie nodded:
"No problem, then it will be three days. It just so happens that my dad and I agreed to go to work in a few days. As soon as the money arrives, I will show off and move out!"
