As soon as he entered the door, Xu Cheng quickly helped Old Wu sit on the sofa, and Li Zijuan poured him a glass of warm water.
Needless to say, Xu Cheng knew that he was here because of Wen Xuezhi's affairs.
Thinking of Lao Wu's defense when Wang Zhixuan launched an attack in the afternoon, and looking at his current sluggishness, Xu Cheng finally couldn't bear it, pulled Li Zijuan aside and whispered:
"Zijuan, will you be sad if your marriage to the Ming family doesn't work out?"
Li Zijuan was stunned for a second, then shook her head, "Hey, it's a pity to lose a son-in-law like Octavia, but I won't be sad at all."
Xu Cheng: "I don't want to be entangled with the Wen family anymore. The garbage man can't care. I want Mingrui to stop here. Wen Xuezhi was imprisoned for 15 days. It's enough. I don't want to take advantage of the Ming family's power."
Li Zijuan fully agrees.
Xu Cheng immediately went to the bedroom, turned his back on Lao Wu, and called Xu Zhiyi, asking for Mingrui's mobile phone number. He told her briefly and concisely that the Ming family had proposed marriage and planned to get engaged during the National Day. He and Li Zijuan said they should think about it.
"Girl, the gap between our two families is there. You really need to think it over carefully. Don't rush. Think about it rationally. Can you handle a person like Octavia and a family like this? After all, it will be you and him in the future. It’s you who live your life, and you have to live in such a family.”
Xu Zhiyi was silent for a while and said that she would think calmly and rationally.
After hanging up Xu Zhiyi's call, he stared at Octavia's mobile phone number in a daze, walked out of the bedroom, sat next to Lao Wu, and said:
"Old Wu, I will call Octavia right now. As his teacher, I will discuss with him how to properly handle the Wen family affairs. I can't guarantee that he will listen to me. I can only see what happens in the end as we go."
Old Wu regained his energy and nodded repeatedly, "I understand, you should beat him quickly, Old Xu, Wen Xuezhi has been imprisoned for 10 days. I'm really afraid that when I wake up tomorrow morning, he will expose the Wen family's affairs on the Internet." There is no turning back, when you say it, I..."
He choked up and couldn't speak.
Xu Cheng took a deep breath, drank some water, and was grabbing his cell phone when it rang. When he saw the caller ID, the three people present were startled.
It's Octavia.
Xu Chenggang saved his number.
The three of them looked at each other, and Xu Cheng answered the phone.
"Hello……"
"Hello, Teacher Xu, I am Octavia."
"I know, I just asked Zhiyi for your mobile phone number."
"Zhiyi said that you asked for my number, so I called you. Teacher Xu, do you want to tell me about the Wen family?"
Xu Cheng raised his eyebrows unconsciously, "That's right, Octavia, let me tell you straight away. There is a famous saying in the Military Struggle Chapter of "The Art of War" by Sun Tzu, which is called 'Don't chase the enemy when you are poor; besiege the city and you will be defeated'. Are you sure what this sentence means? Understand."
"Teacher, I understand. What you mean is, don't push the Wen family into poverty, lest they die and fight back, hurting ourselves. It's best to leave the Wen family with a chance to survive."
"Yes, you are worthy of being a student taught by me. He can understand everything. In modern terms, it is called the law of garbage people. The first rule is to stay away from garbage people."
"The teacher is right. I listened to the teacher and stopped. As long as the Wen family no longer harms Zhiyi and does not have a negative impact on the teacher's family, I will not report the Wen family and let them go. I will let the lawyer convey this. , Teacher, I will handle this matter properly, please rest assured."
Xu Cheng breathed a sigh of relief, "Okay, I'll rest assured that you can do the work."
"Teacher, before I have time to ask you, how has your health been over the past few years? Is your wife in good health?"
Xu Cheng had a smile on his face, "Your wife and I are both in good health. How about you, are you okay?"
Mingrui's low laughter came from the other end of the phone, "I'm pretty good too. After graduating from my undergraduate degree, I worked for a Shanghai Electric Power Investment Company for three years. It happened that the company wanted to develop business in the northwest region. I recommended myself to participate. Later, the northwest division After it was established, I was appointed CEO and stayed there for seven years.”
Octavia spoke very casually, in full teacher-student chat mode, without any hint of showing off.
Xu Cheng probably knew something about what he said, but he learned from Xu Zhiyi that it was from the perspective of understanding his son-in-law. Now, Octavia is his student.
Xu Cheng praised: "Not bad, down-to-earth, clear goals, and did not embarrass the teacher."
"Thank you for your affirmation, teacher. No matter how many years after graduation, as your student, I will be happy to hear the teacher's praise. By the way, teacher, the office building of the northwest division is in Yuehai Building, Xincheng District. You can come over when you are free. Look, you are always welcome here."
Xu Cheng chuckled, "Okay, I'll make an appointment with the other teachers who taught you back then. Let's go and see them together when we have time."
"That's great. Teacher, if the school engages in practical education for students, please ask the relevant person in charge to contact me. The company's factory is in Kaizhen Industrial Park, where there are the largest wind power plants and photovoltaic project bases in the northwest. I believe that students After visiting, I will be proud of our Acropolis."
Xu Cheng was shocked.
He had never paid attention to this aspect. He did not expect that in just seven years, Octavia would be the best in the northwest. It can be seen that in these years, he has really settled down and has been deeply involved in this business.
You know, if photovoltaic power generation can achieve the largest scale in the northwest, it means it will be among the best in the country.
The two chatted for a few more words and then hung up. From beginning to end, they never mentioned anything about Xu Zhiyi.
During this period, Lao Wu and Li Zijuan kept listening attentively, and heard a few things.
Hearing that Mingrui stopped, Old Wu felt relieved, with a smile on his face, and sighed: "Great, Old Xu, without further ado, I will call Wen Hua and ask him to bring his things to your house right away. You tell him clearly in person."
Xu Cheng thought for a while and said: "We have to explain some things to them face to face, but don't bring anything with you. I'm afraid I'll fall into trouble like you. I don't want a penny from them either..."
"No, Lao Xu, I know this family best. They only believe that money can make things work."
Lao Wu interrupted Xu Cheng and persuaded him earnestly.
He said that only when the Xu Cheng family takes the Wen family's money, will the Wen family put their hearts back in their stomachs and stop pestering the Xu family in the future.
The more Xu Cheng wants money, the more afraid the Wen family will be. They will think that the Xu family has ulterior motives. In the future, they will threaten them with this matter, and they will be uneasy for the rest of their lives.
As the saying goes, no desire leads to firmness. The stronger the Xu family is, the more cowardly the Wen family must be.
Only by taking his family's money, accepting his family's kindness, and "complicit" with his family, will his family feel at ease.
Finally, Lao Wu emphasized: "If you want this matter to be handled cleanly, you must listen to me on this point and let the Wen family pay, no matter how small it is."
Xu Cheng frowned, "If I take their money, won't I just follow your old path?"
Old Wu was anxious, "The nature of your matter is completely different from mine. In your matter, Wen Xuezhi broke the law first. He also provoked the Ming family, spent money to buy peace of mind, and used your house to hide from the Ming family's troubles. You can use your house to hide from the Ming family. It must be done properly. Lao Xu, if you are worried, we can mediate an agreement through the Judicial Office tomorrow."
Lao Wu's in-laws are the director of the Judicial Office and know a lot about this matter. He has asked about it a long time ago. It is not illegal for both parties to voluntarily reach such a compensation agreement. He has thought out the specific content for Xu Cheng.
