have to say……
A person who can be the first assistant has extraordinary endurance.
Even though everyone was about to tear their faces apart, Zhang Zhibai remained indifferent and even accepted Zhao Zhen's 'gift' so harshly.
He sat at the front of the group of ministers, his expression unchanged.
Cao An sighed, smiled bitterly and shook his head: "This is the real skill!"
"Awesome!"
Next to him, a young man also wearing a green official uniform suddenly laughed: "Those who can be the chief minister must be ruthless! If you can't bear this humiliation, why should you be the first official? ?”
Um?
There’s nothing wrong with that!
Cao An couldn't help but turn his head and look at him a few more times.
"I didn't dare to ask..."
"I'm Zhao Congyue"
"Zhao Congyue?"
Cao An was stunned for a moment. There seemed to be no such name in his memory.
"My father, Zhao Chengxi..."
"oh."
Cao An politely bowed his hand, still a little confused.
"Hey, what's your expression?"
Zhao Congyue frowned slightly, his face full of displeasure.
He saw the perfunctory and impatient look on Cao An's expression, as if his status did not deserve him to be polite at all.
Cao An smiled politely, shook his neck and said, "No, I didn't sleep well last night. I was sleepy."
fart!
This clearly means looking down upon.
Zhao Congyue felt that he had been slighted, gritted his teeth and said: "Zhao Pu, the ancestor of the family!"
Holy shit?
Cao An's shaking of his head stopped abruptly.
He doesn’t have to know Zhao Congyu, and he can forgive Zhao Chengxi if he doesn’t know...
But Zhao Pu is a great god!
Let's put it this way, if Zhao Pu hadn't planned the Chenqiao Incident, it's still unclear whether Zhao Kuangyin could have founded the Song Dynasty!
This self-introduction is even worse than 'My father is Li Gang'!
"Disrespect, disrespect!"
Cao An instantly changed his expression, cupped his hands and said, "My little brother, Cao An, I have met Brother Zhao! I have heard before that Brother Zhao is a very impressive person and is a rare handsome young man in our Song Dynasty. When I see him today, he is really extraordinary!"
"you……"
Zhao Congyue's brows jumped sharply, and he calmed down for a long time before saying quietly: "Shameless!"
Before I mentioned my family background, you seemed to be indifferent, as if you were very upright, and now... you have two faces?
But when he wanted to say something more, he found that Cao An had turned his head...
Zhao Congyue was stunned on the spot again.
How long has it been?
How did he change three faces in succession?
And judging from these changes in attitude, Cao An’s meaning is very clear...
You are Zhao Pu's grandson. I am being polite to you, which is a way of giving you face. But we are not the same person, so we should have less contact.
How can people be so shameless?
Zhao Congyue was angry and wanted to laugh.
Don't want to deal with someone?
That person wants to be close to you!
He blinked, walked closer to Cao An and whispered, "Brother Cao, could you have forgotten that Mr. Cao also brought you to have dinner at his house... At that time, I knew that you must be a talent!"
"oh."
Cao An turned around and smiled, then quickly turned back.
oh?
Zhao Congyue was so angry that he wanted to hit someone, but then he deliberately approached and said, "Tsk, it seems like you really forgot..."
He didn't care that this was in the main hall, and he didn't care whether Cao An was willing to listen or not. He started croaking to himself: "When you were five years old, you used a candy painting to exchange for my father's favorite Tang Sancai with someone!"
"..."
Cao An didn't even move his eyes.
Zhao Congyue didn't care, and said in a low voice: "My father almost beat me to death because of this... I really hated you at that time! But who could have imagined that the Cao family would end up like this..."
Cao An was also stunned.
This guy is at least seven or eight years older than me, right?
A five-year-old cheating on a teenager...
How open-minded does one have to be to be deceived by a five-year-old child?
And he actually had the nerve to say it...
Cao An felt that he also had the potential to be the first assistant.
He had no choice but to bow his hands politely and said with a smile: "I can't remember the past clearly. If there is any misunderstanding, please forgive me."
"Hey, how many years have you had old sesame seeds and rotten millet!"
Zhao Congyue waved his hand grandly and said nonchalantly: "If you have anything to do in the future, let me know so I can help!"
This guy really can't tell the difference between his eyebrows and his eyes!
Cao An continued to ignore him...
But I heard Zhao Congyue continue: "I heard that you and that boy from the Prince of Chu's family opened a brothel together? The business is pretty good..."
Damn it!
I know you didn't hold it in well.
The dignified grandson of Zhao Pu was rushing to get close to him, a member of the Cao family who had lost his family. As expected, none of these big shots were stupid!
Cao Anxin was wary and said calmly: "The young master was not involved, he just lent some money to a certain person. That business has nothing to do with him."
"hehe……"
Zhao Congyue naturally didn't believe this nonsense: "We are all our own people, so don't cover it up."
Cao An looked at him with a serious face and said solemnly: "Really, Cao is a gentleman and never lies!"
"……okay."
Zhao Congyue's cheek twitched a few times, and then continued: "I also have some business outside. I wonder if I can have a chance to cooperate with Brother Cao?"
Damn it, does this person have no face?
Don't you see that I don't want to deal with you?
Cao An was a little anxious. He felt that if such a person was still outside, he would be beaten several times a day!
Zhao Congyue seemed not to notice the displeasure in Cao An's eyes, and continued: "A certain person also has a brothel, and the business has always been good, but it has not been so good recently..."
Buzz!
Cao An suddenly opened his eyes wide.
He slowly turned around and looked at Zhao Congyue's sincere smile, with cold sweat dripping down his back.
"But business is business! You can't blame others if your means don't work, right?"
Zhao Congyue still smiled and said politely: "I really want to be friends with Brother Cao. After all, your family and I were family friends before, so there is no enmity."
Indeed, the Zhao family and the Cao family have no hatred.
But since there is no enmity, why would there be enmity?
Cao An looked at him leisurely, and then slowly said: "I have no intention of fighting with anyone! As for the grudge of the Cao family... Whoever has blood on his hands will pay with blood!"
"You really are..."
Zhao Congyue was still smiling, shook his head and said: "At the time, Duke Cao was as resolute as you, so the Cao family fell. What about you? Do you really not intend to leave a legacy for the Cao family?"
"what do you want to say in the end?"
Cao An was angry.
He is not afraid of those who appear to be vicious. At worst, they will fight to the death.
But Zhao Congyue made him unable to see through...
This man didn't seem to have murderous intentions, but every word he spoke was filled with threats.
Zhao Congyue's eyes flickered to Zhang Zhibai and said calmly: "Let's work together to kill Zhang Zhibai. You can share 10% of the positions he vacated. How about that?"
Lao Zhang has been Prime Minister for more than ten years and has so many disciples and former officials!
The Queen Mother, Your Majesty, including Lu Yijian...why do everyone insist on killing Lao Zhang?
You have the 'card' in your hand but don't want to play it, this is a threat!
The two parties are fighting, but there is a powerful "third party" watching from behind. Who can stop worrying!
"I have no grudge against Lao Zhang."
Cao An took a deep breath and stared at Zhao Congyue coldly: "If Wanhua Tower is not managed well and Cao can help, just treat everyone as a friend."
"You still don't understand what I mean."
Zhao Congyue smiled and shook his head: "I don't care about a Wanhua Building, even if it goes bankrupt, it doesn't matter..."
"so what?"
Cao An just felt that there was nowhere to vent his anger.
"Since the Cao family's matter has passed, let's let it be completely revealed! This matter was originally a confusing matter that was unclear... You want to take revenge, but do you know how much is involved?"
Zhao Congyue lowered his head, looked at his feet casually, and said casually: "I would like to be a peacemaker, and everyone can laugh away their grudges. From now on, in the court, you will not only have Fan Zhongyan to help..." How about I help you?"
