The little girl was afraid of strangers, so it was normal for her to not know how to speak in such a situation. He Panshan looked at his son and motioned for him to speak instead.
He Tianran was really the bigger one at this time. Although he had promised before that he could help Cao Aiqing confront his father, he was really a little embarrassed after hearing the girl's request in the car. He said that the matter of extending He Yuanchong's suspension from school was too sensitive for him, and what if he wanted his father to pay ten times the compensation as soon as his son opened his mouth?
However, it is conceivable that Cao Aiqing's operation was to see his own attitude...
After all, whether He Panshan takes the money or not is one thing, and whether He Tianran mentions it is another.
So, He Tianran thought about it for a while and then said tactfully:
"Dad, we are both students. This is the first time we have encountered this kind of thing, and it was Yuan Chong's fault. Although Ai Qing and I have had some private discussions, there has never been a good solution. No, I will let Ai Qing hear your arrangements first, she has really suffered a lot this time."
He Tianran thought about it and decided to play it safe first and pretend to be cunning before speaking.
"Yes, Xiao Cao is indeed the biggest victim of this incident."
He Panshan first made his attitude clear. It is true that he wants to apologize to the little girl in front of him, but he is also an expert at the negotiation table. If you don't talk about money, then I won't take the initiative to bring it up. What's more, if it's true, We were talking about compensation. Why not just ask Cao Aiqing's parents to talk about it, but let He Tianran call someone else's little girl alone?
It has to be said that He Tianran and Cao Aiqing were still blinded by their future thinking and thought they could handle this matter alone. However, in the eyes of parents like He Panshan, they were all unexperienced college students.
So why did you call these two kids here specifically this time?
He Panshan coughed and said:
"Xiao Cao, today is the first time that my uncle has met you, but I think that after you posted that post, you did see a very good girl between the lines. You were attacked by rumors and rumors. Of course, you looked on with cold eyes at those people. , the denunciations made by the classmates who spoke harshly to me are also very correct. Xiao Cao, my uncle also has a big business. Yuan Chong didn’t stay with me until he was a teenager. It’s because I neglected to discipline me. Let me tell you first. Apologize."
"No uncle, all this has passed..."
For a figure like He Panshan to apologize to a little girl in person, not everyone can bear it. But after He Tianran listened and thought about it, he felt that something was not right...
Sure enough, at this moment, He Panshan changed the subject.
"Oh, by the way, naturally, you like Xiao Cao so much. Why didn't you stand up in advance and directly announce that you were with Xiao Cao when something like this happened? Wouldn't that be more convincing?"
"???"
"!!!"
coming!
The young man and woman opposite him suddenly looked embarrassed and shocked. The topic span of He Panshan was really too big, catching them both off guard.
Seeing the expressions of the two people, He Panshan patted his forehead and admitted that he was confused:
"Ah, yes, yes, Tianran, you are afraid that Yuan Chong will frame you, right? Alas, because of this incident, I am afraid that you, Xiao Cao, will misunderstand this time. You must not have any suspicion towards Tianran because of this incident. Ah! He is still different from his younger brother."
He Tianran raised his eyebrows:
"Dad, let's get down to business!"
"You're talking about business."
"Then why are you bringing this up? Can't you just tell me how to compensate?"
He Tianran couldn't help but made it clear.
The middle-aged man put on airs and blamed:
"You kid, aren't you worried about your relationship with Xiao Cao? Once this incident comes out, others, Xiao Cao, will think that our He family are all bad people. It's not that complicated. Xiao Cao, don't go there. The worst thing to think about is that this kind of scene between the two brothers, uncle promises you, it will not happen again!"
After saying that, he said kindly, "The compensation is like this, Xiao Cao, do you think it's okay? Uncle will put the pocket money he gives Tian Zi every month on your card. You can also take the black card he has. Xiao Cao, you can Just help me supervise this kid, what do you think?"
Facing his old father's unreasonable compensation method, He Tianran was really convinced, but Cao Aiqing on the side became surprisingly silent.
"Dad, you still..."
"You kid, don't talk. Listen to Xiao Cao."
He Panshan's eyes widened, and Young Master He also fell silent.
This condition may seem like a joke, but in fact it is a clever way to get his son to be with Cao Aiqing. Anyway, the relationship between the two has been widely spread, so it is simply killing two birds with one stone. Public affairs become private affairs, and private affairs become family affairs. There is no safer way than this. What's more, being with a prince, what better compensation could there be than this?
But after Cao Aiqing was silent for a moment, he whispered:
"Uncle, although I have a deep relationship with Tianran, I think it's better to keep this matter the same."
He Panshan still had a smile on his face: "What should I say? Classmate Xiao Cao."
At this time, He Tianran also recovered from the initial confusion. His father was very sensitive to this kind of thing. Take his original evaluation of Wen Liang as an example. Without this memory, He Tianran would definitely have the same I think this is a way for parents to be happy to hear that their children are in love, and just go with the flow.
It can be recalled that when He Panshan first met Wen Liang, the two of them had a very good chat, but when the girl left, he turned around and said to his son, "She is not suitable for you." Now it is also the first time for him Meeting Cao Aiqing on this timeline, he suddenly seemed like a reasonable father, but in reality, he was still testing...
How the rumors were spread in the first place and how He Tianran refuted them, these are nothing compared to seeing is believing in He Panshan. If the little girl in front of him really accepted the proposal just now, it would be okay to fall in love with his son for a few years at worst. Anyway, he is in good health. Still very healthy.
But if the two of them were together like this, He Panshan's first impression of Cao Aiqing would be like this.
As for the future, he didn't even mention the promises made by his father-in-law and his daughter-in-law.
When young people play, it's not like He Panshan has never experienced it before. It's best to talk about big things in a trivial way and ignore small things. It's best to be able to solve things while having fun.
This layer is the truth about this popular compensation method. It can not only test the relationship between the two, but also see Cao Aiqing's character clearly.
But He Panshan still underestimated the complicated relationship between his son and Cao Aiqing.
The eyes of the soft and frail girl in front of her were sparkling with light and clarity. If it were said that the last time He Tianran saw Cao's father, he confessed their relationship by self-destructing, then Cao Aiqing said these words next. , tactful and very strategic at the same time.
Just listen to her say:
"Uncle, Tianran and I are each other's most familiar friends. It's not that we haven't tried to be together, but after thinking about it, we feel more comfortable getting along as 'friends'.
As for the rumors about me on the Internet, I can understand that this is caused by the estrangement between He Yuanchong and his brothers Tianran. In this matter, Tianran helped me a lot, and I also understood him better. But the harm He Yuanchong caused to me cannot be forgiven easily by just a verbal apology. He is naturally the one with the most say in this matter, so I asked him to help me discuss it with you. "
Ah ha, there is something in this little girl's words.
He Panshan quickly extracted the key information from these words. The general meaning is that your son and I have been together, but it is not suitable to break up. Now our relationship is very good, so you should stop trying to match them. , and now his brother is here to bully me again, so I brought He Tianran out to talk to you about this matter. You come and watch, but don't interfere with the relationship between the two of us.
This thing is really new.
He Panshan thought about it, looked at He Tianran, and joked: "Ah, I understand, so, not only do I have to compensate Yuan Chong for Xiao Cao's mental loss, but I also have to help you pay a breakup fee. Bar?"
"...Dad, everyone says that one size must be the same."
"Uncle, the original breakup was between us, so naturally he had to pay for it. I don't want the money."
"Listen to what I say, Xiao Cao. He's better at causing trouble than you are. He's here with resentment. If we talk about it, it'll be over!"
He Tianran glanced at the well-behaved Cao Aiqing beside him.
He Panshan stopped delaying and asked directly: "So, how much do you plan to ask for?"
"Dad, how much did you give Sun Zhikun?"
"I didn't give him any money."
He Panshan shrugged, and the man and woman opposite him were dumbfounded.
He Tianran asked: "Dad, how did you let Sun Zhikun take the blame..."
"Son, why do you always think about money? How vulgar. Money is not the only thing that can settle things in this world."
Obviously, He Panshan didn't want to talk about this matter in depth. He Tianran was startled when he heard this. Through this information, he quickly guessed another way to solve the matter without spending money. He was about to speak, But Cao Aiqing beside him said one step faster than him:
"Uncle, did you give Sun Zhikun an offer from Shanhai Group?"
The girl's reaction speed surprised He Panshan. He glanced at the girl quietly, and an indescribable feeling of familiarity flashed through his heart.
He nodded to Cao Aiqing, looked at his son again, and smiled:
"It is indeed quite capable to be the Minister of External Relations of your Hong Kong University Student Union. Sun Zhikun has improved his academic qualifications now. After graduating, he will basically bid farewell to some positions in large companies. I am just anxious for what others are worried about. I gave him two million in cash and an offer from the investment department and let him choose. Gee, this guy was quite decisive and he immediately chose the latter. Look, dad didn’t lie to you. Sometimes he gives people money. They don’t want it yet.”
Cao Aiqing and He Tianran were both silent.
What to talk about now?
Based on ten times the compensation, 20 million is considered too much to raise a Series A round for some potential companies. If you really talk about it like this, it will just be like child's play...
"Xiao Cao, I will give you two million, which is considered as the mental compensation for this time, and then I will give you another two million. Uncle doesn't know how far the relationship between you and Ziran has developed, but since we are separated now Okay, this is considered a breakup fee, so you can get together and part ways, and I won’t get involved with you two more in the future."
Regardless of what He Panshan said in an orderly manner, if he takes the four million, no matter how close the relationship between He and Cao is in the future, He Panshan will basically break up...
What's more, He Tianran hasn't spoken yet to express his position.
This is the most important purpose of Cao Aiqing coming to see He Panshan.
At this time, both of them looked at He Tianran. The man thought about it for a long time and finally said slowly:
"Dad, forget it about the breakup fee or whatever. Ai Qing said no, so you don't have to pay it. But in my son's heart, I still feel extremely guilty for her, so can my son ask you for a bad check?"
"What's the meaning?"
"Didn't Grandpa leave some land over there in the harbor area? Do you plan to take it back?"
He Panshan was a little surprised when his son mentioned this. Now the He family's focus has long been shifted to the Internet. Although his grandfather left some land for his children and grandchildren, he will definitely not be able to get it within four or five years. Back.
He Panshan said doubtfully:
"There is a plan, it has always been planned, but let me tell you in advance, this is not the land left by your grandfather, this is a little bit of origin left by his old man before his death. You kid really can't talk, what do you mean? Leave a piece of land, I've been arguing with the people above me for many years, and I still don't know if I can get it back, so why are you bringing this up?"
"It's like this. Ai Qing is studying architecture. If the ground can be taken down, it will be fine..."
He Tianran turned his head. When he was talking about the ground just now, Cao Aiqing's eyes kept flashing. The two looked at each other. As soon as He Tianran shook off the conversation, the girl naturally took it and continued to add, saying loudly:
"Uncle like this, if possible, please allow me the opportunity to participate in the bidding for construction projects in the harbor area. You can rest assured in terms of qualifications. At that time, I can ask the dean of our School of Architecture to take charge, and he will also participate. The process of design plan and specific implementation will come, and you also said that it will be four or five years later. During this period, I will be able to be fully prepared."
He Panshan was dumbfounded. No matter how smart he was, he could not predict what would happen in the next four or five years outside his own industry. Now that these two people were talking about bidding, it was a little too natural, right?
"Dean Liu of your School of Architecture, right? I know him. Our villa area is all his work... But Xiao Cao, of course, are you going too far with me? I said four or five years. It may just be the best outcome, as I said just now, everything is still unknown.”
However, in the eyes of the two people who have memories of the future, this is nothing at all. Everything is just right.
He Tianran said with a playful smile: "So it's a bad check. What do you think, dad, just give me an answer."
He Panshan laughed and said: "Yes, of course, I want to borrow Xiao Cao Jiyan. If the land can be taken back, if a house is built, I can give Xiao Cao a house."
"Dad, you said this, and I bear witness!"
"Yes, yes, you can record whatever I say. Oh, you kid really turned your elbows outward."
"Then I really recorded it, please say it again."
"I……"
This was just a joke at first, but unexpectedly He Tianran and Cao Aiqing were both overjoyed.
He Panshan saw this and thought to himself, they are just two children after all...
Forget it, it’s pretty good…
How much does a house in Haigang District cost?
As for the type of apartment with unparalleled sea views that Wen Liang will live in in the future, it will cost at least 40 to 50 million, and this is still the current housing price.
Cao Aiqing was excited in her heart. In fact, when she said ten times the compensation in the car, she knew it was unlikely to be realized, but she just wanted to know whether He Tianran would mention it to his father. Firstly, it was a matter of attitude. Secondly, , she really liked watching the process of He Tianran racking his brains and coming up with a solution, especially when he was doing it for himself.
But whether He Yuanchong is asked to extend his suspension or to pay ten times the compensation, both of these are too difficult, so as long as He Tianran can say it, it is considered a passing grade. But the girl really didn't expect that she would actually be curved by him in the end. The conditions were met as if to save the country!
Although the harvest is in the future, whether it is your career or life security, you can see it being bright now, right?
This kind of motivation and longing satisfied her more than giving Cao Aiqing money directly.
Because she is also involved here.
He Panshan looked at the sparks dancing in the eyes of the two young people. He knew very well what it felt like. He seemed to have known him before...
"Of course, I'm starting to understand why you like Xiao Cao."
He Tianran was still immersed in the sense of accomplishment that he had fulfilled the girl's conditions, and he responded casually:
"Why?"
Thinking of Cao Aiqing's decisiveness in refusing to break up and the time-consuming tacit understanding the two showed just now, He Panshan said with emotion:
"Have you ever felt that Xiao Cao looks like a certain person?"
Cao Aiqing was stunned. She knew very well that He Panshan's words meant that she was like He Tianran's mother, Bai Wenyu.
But He Tianran shook his head, looked directly at the girl beside him, and said in a deep voice:
"She is who she is, and she is not like anyone else."
This answer brought a slight smile from the girl.
"Oh, it would be a shame for you to be separated."
He Panshan couldn't help but joke.
That's it. He Tianran didn't want to get too entangled in this issue. He looked around. From just now, he always felt that something was missing, so he asked:
"Dad, where is Mother Wang?"
"Ah, I forgot to tell you..."
He Panshan suddenly became serious, with a rare hesitation in his words:
"Two days ago... I was teaching Yuan Chong a lesson at home... When Mother Wang knew what happened to your two brothers, she immediately... her heart couldn't bear it and she sent her to the hospital..."
When He Tianran heard this, he felt like he was struck by lightning.
