As soon as Su Qin flirted with Lin Xi, he received a call from Chang Taiji, asking when Su Qin would come to Donghai. There were many things that needed to be discussed with him recently.
Chang Taiji did not disappoint Su Qin. Who made Su Qin's eyes discernible?
Judging from the achievements of tbtf in the past few months since its establishment, there is no doubt about Chang Taiji’s strength. tbtf has officially entered the right track and has become more prominent in the domestic capital market during this period. Su Qin is already preparing to increase investment so that Chang Taiji can There is enough ammunition to continue to capture the city.
Chang Taiji's ambition is too great. He wants to conquer the whole world. How can it be possible without sufficient ammunition?
The first stage of the test for Chang Taiji was over. If it hadn't been for Lin Xi's incident, Su Qin would have met Chang Taiji in the East China Sea when he returned home. However, the incident in Xishu delayed the time.
Now that the matter in Xishu has been completely resolved, Su Qin is preparing to go to the East China Sea tomorrow.
In the evening, Han Xianjing arranged a restaurant with a quiet and elegant environment. It was full of style, which was in line with his personality.
Han Xianjing personally drove to the hotel to pick up Su Qin and Lin Xi. His appearance in suits and leather shoes always made people feel weird. He didn't look like the person in charge of the Su family's southwest region, but more like a real estate agency or insurance manager. Is this the so-called impersonation? Pig eats tiger?
"Master, Mistress, please." Han Xian opened the car door respectfully and motioned for Su Qin and Lin Xi to get in the car.
Lin Xi was very embarrassed to call her young lady. Today, Lin Xi was dressed very beautifully. She wore a Chanel dress with Saint Laurent high heels. Her shawl and long hair were quite elegant, and her whole temperament was extremely dazzling.
Lin Xi, who is out and about, can definitely give Su Qin enough face. Even if he has the capital to be proud in front of any woman, how else can Su Qin, who is above the top, fall in love with her at a glance?
When Su Qin and Lin Xi got on the bus, Han Xianjing looked at Chen Qiming and said, "Qiming, I'm sorry, I took your job today."
"I don't mind, not everyone can let Brother Han be a driver." Chen Qiming said politely.
Han Xianjing patted Chen Qiming on the shoulder and said, "Hahaha, let's have a good drink tonight."
Han Xianjing drove very steadily. He kept looking at Su Qin's expression from the rearview mirror calmly, and then looked for topics to adjust the atmosphere in the car. It was a bit funny to be walking on thin ice, but who told him that this was the eldest son of the Su family?
It didn't take long for them to arrive at the restaurant they had reserved. Han Xianjing booked the restaurant directly. He could still afford the money.
Tuoba and Qiu Yu were already waiting at the door. In addition, there were several mausoleum guards responsible for security. This scene was not accessible to ordinary people. Even the person in charge of the restaurant was curious about who the boss Han Xianjing was personally hosting. .
When they saw Han Xianjing driving the car himself, parking the car and running over to open the door, the person in charge of the restaurant was stunned. Who is so proud?
Han Xianjing is a VIP here and often entertains friends and clients here, so the person in charge of the restaurant is very familiar with him and knows the identity and background of this big boss.
After Su Qin and Lin Xi got off the bus, Tuoba and Qiu Yu walked over quickly and said hello in a deep voice: "Master, Miss Lin."
They were not as shameless as Han Xianjing and just called Mistress Lin Xi. Han Xianjing called this early flattery. He could tell that the young master liked Lin Xi very much, so Lin Xi could not guarantee that he would be the young mistress of the Su family in the future.
Although Su Qin severely humiliated the Lin family this time, Han Xianjing felt that he still had to have a good relationship with the Lin family in the future. After all, Lin Xi was a Lin family, and his heart must still be towards the Lin family.
This incident has taught the Lin family a lesson, and the Lin family will know what to do in the future. Besides, time will dilute all misunderstandings, and they will still be a family.
"Go in." Su Qin said in a deep voice.
As the eldest son of the Su family, Su Qin does not need to treat them to dinner so politely, but he is destined to take over the Su family, and there may be a lot of resistance in the future.
So you have to plan ahead and continue to accumulate strength.
These are all frontier officials of the Su family. Han Xianjing is the person in charge of the southwest region. Although he cannot win over this frontier official now, he may not switch sides after establishing a good relationship. After all, interests are eternal.
Tuoba is the person in charge of Shuzhou. Su Qin now promotes him to be the person in charge of the northwest region and gradually cultivates him as his confidant. At the same time, he can also coordinate the entire tomb-guarding force of the five northwest states to cooperate with his overall actions in the northwest.
Qiu Yu is the head of the intelligence team of the Shuzhou Tomb Guards, and can be regarded as the boss of the Shuzhou Tomb Guards. Now Su Qin has an understanding of her abilities, but he still has to continue to investigate.
From now on, every time Su Qin goes to a state, he will have contact with these frontier officials to understand everyone's position, so that he can have some control over the future situation and understand which states have lost control.
Han Xianjing chose a box that was not too big or too small. It was just suitable for six people and did not seem so empty.
Su Qin sat on the main seat, with Han Xianjing and Tuoba on the left, Lin Xi and Qiu Yu on the right, and Chen Qiming sat opposite.
The dishes were soon served, after all, the place was booked today.
Han Xianjing picked up the wine glass and said: "Master, we would like to offer this glass of wine to you first. Welcome to Xishu. It is our honor to meet the master."
"Brother Han, I really can't handle what you're saying." Su Qin laughed.
Everyone raised their glasses and toasted Su Qin. Lin Xi couldn't drink white wine, so she drank red wine.
After drinking the glass of wine and eating a few bites of food, Su Qin took the initiative to hold the glass and said: "Everyone has worked hard on this trip to Western Shu. Your abilities are obvious to all. I believe that the Su family's development in Shuzhou will get better and better. ."
Qiu Yu chuckled and said: "Master, this is what we should do, don't be so polite."
"Sister Qiu Yu, I heard that you and Black Rose are sisters." Su Qin said happily after finishing the drink.
During this period, Black Rose was still cultivating seedlings for him with Ma Qian and the others in Chang'an. He couldn't care about Chang'an's affairs during this period, but school was about to start, and he would be able to see their results when he returned.
"When she first joined the Tomb Guards, I was the one who took her. However, her talent is better than mine. Now that she is favored by the young master, her future will definitely be bright." Qiu Yu said with some envy, she has stayed in Shuzhou for so many years , and never moved again.
Compared with the economically developed states on the southeast coast, Shuzhou is indeed not in a good position. Unfortunately, it has been stagnant, and even Black Rose has surpassed her position.
Su Qin chuckled and said: "Sister Qiu Yu's abilities are also very good. I heard that you should go back to report on your work after a while. Maybe Mr. Han will have new considerations for you."
Qiu Yu's eyes lit up when she heard these words. Su Qin's meaning was already obvious, that is, he would also move her position, which surprised Qiu Yu.
Now that Tuoba and Qiu Yu have discussed their merits and rewarded them, Su Qin only has no words for Han Xianjing. Han Xianjing's position is too high. There are only a few people in the entire Su family who hold the position of person in charge of the southwest region.
Besides, Han Xianjing is still labeled as the Lingnan Su family, what should Su Qin do?
During the meal, everyone talked about casual topics. Su Qin learned about the Su family's business in the southwest region in detail, while Qiu Yu chatted with Lin Xi in an interesting way, so that Lin Xi would not be too embarrassed.
At this time, Lin Xi's cell phone rang. Lin Xi picked up the phone and glanced at it, then said to Su Qin next to her: "Grandma's phone number."
Su Qin nodded and said, "Then you go and pick it up."
Lin Xi stood up and said hello before going out to answer the phone.
Su Qin took this opportunity to look at Han Xianjing and asked tentatively: "Brother Han, do you have any ideas? I heard that you competed for the position of the person in charge of the southeast region a few years ago. It seems that there were not many people who supported you at that time. "
After Su Qin said these words, the expressions of everyone in the audience changed slightly, especially Han Xianjing and Tuoba.
Tuoba looked at Han Xianjing calmly. This is an olive branch offered by the young master. It depends on whether Han Xianjing dares to accept it.
The position of the person in charge of the southeast region is much more important than the position of the person in charge of the southwest region. Su Qin dared to use this position to seduce Han Xianjing. Han Xianjing said it was a lie if he said he was not tempted.
But Han Xianjing is not a fool. It has not been easy for him to get to where he is today step by step over the years. After being a dog for so many years, he is considered a mad dog. He is not willing to lose everything in one careless move.
The Lingnan Su family is not a vegetarian. If they can support him, they may not suppress him.
"Master, Master Ma has been in that position for many years. Who dares to take a peek at Master Ma's position?" Han Xianjing said with a bitter smile.
Su Qin continued to seduce: "My grandfather intends to send Uncle Ma to Southeast Asia to take charge of overseas business in Southeast Asia, so this position will be vacant soon. Others in the Su family don't know the news yet, so I'll ask you, Brother Han first."
Su Qin naturally intended to win over Han Xianjing. Even though everyone said that Han Xianjing was from the Lingnan Su family, the Su family did not have the final say in the Lingnan Su family. Even if Han Xianjing could not be won over, it would not be a bad thing to have a gap between Han Xianjing and the Lingnan Su family.
Han Xianjing seemed to know what Su Qin meant. Once he had this idea, he would definitely be torn apart from the Lingnan Su family, so he was very cautious.
Especially when the situation is still unclear, everyone knows the internal crisis the Su family may face in the future.
Once the old patriarch dies, it will be difficult for a young man like Su Qin to convince the public. The ambitions of the Su family in Lingnan are already well known, and Han Xianjing really does not dare to take risks easily.
"Master, I just arrived in the southwest a few years ago. If you ask me to go to the southeast, I guess there will be great resistance." Han Xianjing said tactfully.
Su Qin said happily: "I support you, and the Lingnan Su family will also support you. Aren't you the most suitable?"
Su Qin's words were relatively straightforward. He directly named the Lingnan Su family. How did Han Xianjing choose?
Han Xianjing gritted his teeth but controlled his emotions and said, "Master, please let me think about it."
Su Qin picked up the wine glass and said, "Then I'll wait for your news."
If Han Xianjing really wants to go to the southeast, there will definitely be great resistance, but Su Qin is just trying to test him. If the interests are enough, it depends on whether he dares to give it a try.
Now it seems that Han Xianjing still seeks stability.
Su Qin's purpose for this meal was achieved. He continued to drink with Han Xianjing and others. When the time was almost up, they left without drinking much more.
Han Xianjing and Tuoba Qiuyu sent Su Qin Linxi away first, and watched them get into the car and leave. Qiuyu took the initiative to say goodbye.
At this time Tuoba asked: "The person in charge of the Southeast Region, are you not moved?"
"It's a lie to say you're not moved, but you're just moved. Do you think you can give me this position casually?" Han Xianjing said angrily.
Tuoba said thoughtfully: "If you are really tempted, then you have to take action. Before the Lingnan Su family reacts, you can use a trick to hide the truth and get this position first."
Tuoba's meaning is very obvious, that is, let Han Xianjing tell the Lingnan Su family that he has ideas for this position. The Lingnan Su family will definitely support him fully. When Su Qin supports him to make the decision, the Lingnan Su family will react.
Unfortunately, it was too late at that time. Han Xianjing had already obtained this position. What could the Lingnan Su family do to him?
Han Xianjing sighed and said: "Then I will offend the Lingnan Su family to death. If they take power one day, I, Han Xianjing, will undoubtedly die."
"You, you, you are just too stable, as stable as an old dog, but sometimes being too stable is not a good thing, and it is easy to lose opportunities." Tuoba said helplessly.
Maybe the little people finally get up, and the more afraid they are of losing what they have now. After all, it's hard-won.
At the beginning, they were willing to put all their money in and take any chance because they would have to start all over again and there would be nothing anyway.
The more you have, the more afraid you are of losing it. This is the tragedy of little people.
Tuoba's words were not unreasonable, and Han Xianjing had to think about it carefully.
On Su Qin's way back to the hotel, Lin Xi took the initiative and said, "My grandma invites you to have dinner at home tomorrow at noon. Everyone in the family may be there by then. If you don't want to go, I will help you refuse."
"Go, grandma invites you, how can I refuse?" Su Qin said lightly.
After hearing this, Lin Xi said happily: "Then I will call grandma later and tell her that you agreed."
Having been delayed in Xishu for a few days, Su Qin was still thinking about going to the East China Sea, so he said: "I am planning to go to the East China Sea tomorrow afternoon. I have been abroad during the summer vacation and have not visited my grandparents. My aunt has been talking about it for a long time, and school will not start soon. Well, I plan to stay with them for two days, and there are other things to deal with over there in the East China Sea."
"School starts the day after tomorrow, is it too late?" Lin Xi asked casually.
Su Qin thought for a moment and said, "No, I'll take two days off. Will you go?"
"Is it appropriate for me to go?" Lin Xi said a little embarrassedly. Su Qin had already met everyone in their family, and now she also wanted to meet Su Qin's family. Lin Xi was a little nervous.
Especially their family's attitude towards Su Qin before, trying to separate her and Su Qin in every possible way. I wonder if Su Qin's grandparents knew about it?
If you knew, would you have any problem with her?
The most important thing is that she now knows Su Qin's identity and background. It is not easy to come to his grandparents' house. What if they don't agree?
Su Qin guessed Lin Xi's worries and comforted her: "You are my future wife, what's inappropriate? Don't worry, they don't know about us, so don't worry."
Lin Xi nodded and said, "Okay then."
"There is something else I want to tell you." Lin Xi said in a low tone.
Su Qin asked doubtfully: "What's the matter?"
"My parents want me to go see grandpa." Lin Xi whispered, and after speaking, she stared at Su Qin cautiously, for fear of making Su Qin unhappy.
】
Su Qin didn't take it seriously. He said bluntly: "You go, I won't accompany you. It's not suitable for me to go now."
Lin Wang and Ning Qing also warned that it was best not to let Su Qin go, for fear that the old man would be irritated again.
Let Lin Xi go just to ease her relationship with the Lin family.
Hearing Su Qin's agreement, Lin Xi said with relief, "I'll just go back tomorrow to pack my things. Then I'll ask my friends to bring them to school. Then we can go back to Chang'an directly from the East China Sea."
Su Qin nodded in agreement. They were Lin Xi's family members. There was no way he would prevent Lin Xi from seeing his family members, not to mention that the relationship was now a bit tense.
The next morning, Lin Xi went home.
Lin Wang and Ning Qing were waiting for her at home. When they saw Lin Xi, Lin Wang and Ning Qing seemed a little embarrassed.
Lin Xi greeted as usual: "Mom and Dad, I'm back."
Lin Wang smiled bitterly and said, "Just come back, just come back. Have you had breakfast? The kitchen has prepared breakfast for you."
"We ate at the hotel." Lin Xi said truthfully.
Lin Wang said thoughtfully: "You pack your things first, or should we go see grandpa first?"
"I'll pack my things first." Lin Xi said lightly.
Then she went upstairs to pack her things.
When Lin Xi went upstairs, Lin Wang muttered: "Why don't you say anything? Lin Xi is our daughter after all, and we did it for her own good. Besides, we didn't force her anymore. Lin Xi is so sensible that she will definitely understand. "
"Our daughter has better vision than us." Ning Qing said with emotion.
Lin Wang chuckled and said, "Then what do you think, didn't you see whose daughter it is?"
Lin Wang feels that it doesn't matter now. Anyway, things have happened and they have compromised now. Since they have compromised, don't feel embarrassed and don't think about the past anymore. Just pretend everything never happened.
Ning Qing still couldn't think about it, maybe she felt a little embarrassed. She had lost the dignity of being an elder in front of her daughter, so she didn't know what to say when they met.
Half an hour later, Lin Xi packed up her things and went downstairs. She said to Lin Wang and Ning Qing, "Mom and Dad, I have already packed my things. My classmates will come back to get them when the time comes."
Ning Qing took advantage of the situation and said, "Don't bother your classmate. Your uncle will go to Chang'an the day after tomorrow. Just ask him to help you get to school."
Lin Xi nodded and said, "That's okay."
"There's nothing else, let's go." Lin Wang chuckled.
Although the old man was fine that day, his blood pressure was just a little high, but the Lin family was still worried, so they kept him under observation at West China Hospital for the past two days, just in time for a comprehensive examination.
What happened that day had a huge impact on the Lin family. Everyone in the Lin family selectively ignored what happened that day. No one dared to mention it in front of the old man and the old lady, let alone Su Qin's name.
However, it was the old man and the old lady who took the initiative to see Lin Xi. Only then did Lin Wang Ningqing call her and ask her to come back and lie down to see her grandpa.
On the way to the hospital, Ning Qing, who was also sitting in the back row, finally spoke. She took her daughter's hand and said, "Don't blame mom and dad. Mom and dad admit that they are sorry for you. You have better vision than us. In the future, we will be with Su Qin." Good."
"Mom, I didn't know his identity and background before. Su Qin never told me anything. I hope you don't think I'm hiding it from you. I really thought he was just an ordinary person." Lin Xi took the initiative to explain.
Ning Qing said in a deep voice: "We know, and we have never blamed you."
At this time, Ning Qing took out a card and handed it to Lin Xi and said: "Take this card and spend it however you want in the future. We know that Su Qin is not short of money, but you should also have your own independent life. Besides, our family also has If you don’t lack this, at least you won’t make people think you are ignorant.”
"Mom, I have money." Lin Xi said a little embarrassed.
Lin Wang echoed: "Lin Xi, just take it if your mother gives it to you. We do it for your own good. Su Qin usually gives you things, but you also have to buy some clothes for others, right?"
Lin Xi had no choice but to take the card.
Anyway, since what happened yesterday, her parents' attitude towards her has changed drastically. She also knows that all this is because of Su Qin, who made Su Qin's identity and background too strong.
Mr. Lin naturally lived in a separate ward. When he arrived at the hospital, before he could reach the ward, Lin Xi met his aunt Lin Ting in the corridor.
Lin Ting saw Lin Xi coming, and her attitude was as humble as if Lin Xi was her aunt. She ran over and pulled Lin Xi and said, "Lin Xi is here."
She already knew that Su Qin had forgiven her, and the previous anxiety was completely gone.
But she also knew what to do in the future. Now Lin Xi was the girlfriend of the eldest son of the Su family. From now on, everyone in the Lin family would have to look at Lin Xi's eyes and act accordingly. Naturally, she had to maintain her relationship with Lin Xi.
"Auntie." Lin Xi said neither lightly nor seriously.
Lin Ting also said awkwardly: "Don't blame aunt, aunt knows that you were wrong, and aunt will treat you well in the future."
Lin Xi was at a loss for what to do with her aunt's humble attitude, but she could only accept it. She just felt that her previous feelings were a little distant, and her aunt was now both afraid and respectful of her.
Lin Wang and Ning Qing felt somewhat helpless when they saw this.
But at least the other members of the Lin family didn't take their family too seriously before. In the future, because of Lin Xi's relationship, they may never dare to do this again, and things like forcing Lin Xi will never happen again.
After entering the ward, the old man was lying on the hospital bed, and the old lady was peeling an apple next to him.
After Lin Xi came in, the old lady looked at the others and said, "You all go out, let's talk to Lin Xi."
Lin Xi came over uneasily. The old lady brought a chair for her to sit in front of the hospital bed. At the same time, she handed the apple in her hand to Lin Xi and said, "Lin Xi, eat the apple."
Lin Xi did not refuse, took the apple and said, "Thank you, grandma."
The old man and the old lady both favor boys over girls, so Lin Xi has never been very popular in the Lin family. The two sons that the old man and the old lady like the most are the two sons of the uncle's family.
Therefore, when it came to the marriage between the Lin family, the old man and the old lady never took her seriously. They only thought that she was a descendant of the Lin family and should bring benefits to the Lin family.
But now, everything has changed.
Mr. Lin said cautiously: "Lin Xi, my grandparents are sorry for you this time and have apologized to you."
Lin Xi was startled and said, "Grandpa, don't do this."
In the Lin family, the old man and the old lady were always aloof and their majesty could never be challenged. Lin Xi was a little scared every time she saw them, for fear that she would be punished if she did something wrong. But now that she saw the old man like this, she was somewhat surprised.
"Sit down and listen to grandpa." The old man said solemnly.
Lin Xi had no choice but to sit down obediently.
The old man said slowly: "This incident is all our fault. I hope you can forgive your grandparents. They are old and confused and have not considered your feelings. Can you?"
The old lady also said: "We know we were wrong. Don't take it to heart. Your grandparents will never force you to do anything you don't like again."
Lin Xi said bravely: "Grandpa and grandma, I didn't take it seriously."
What else could Lin Xi say?
Although she also had resentment in her heart, this was her family after all, and there was nothing she could do about it.
Besides, it's over now.
"Is Su Qin still angry?" the old man asked in a low voice. How could he still look strong and arrogant like before?
Lin Xi shook his head and said, "No, he said the matter is over."
"I'm sorry for grandpa. If he still has grievances against the Lin family, just focus on me. It has nothing to do with the rest of the Lin family." The old man continued. He didn't want the Lin family to be destroyed in his own hands.
After all, the Lin family really is nothing in front of the powerful Su family. If Su Qin really wants to deal with the Lin family, the Lin family will have to wait to be punished.
Lin Xi said thoughtfully: "Grandpa and grandma, don't worry, he won't do anything to the Lin family. He will leave Xishu today. Everything in the past is in the past."
Hearing that Su Qin was leaving Xishu today, Mr. Lin and the old lady finally felt at ease.
Judging from Su Qin's attitude yesterday, it seemed that the entire Lin family would have to be ruined before they could swallow their breath, so they were always uneasy.
Half of the calls Lin Wang and Ning Qing made to Lin Xi were made by the old man and the old lady, just to test what was going on with Su Qin.
The old lady said in a timely manner: "Lin Xi, no matter how you say it, the Lin family is also your Lin family. You still have to say good things to Su Qin. Except for the fact that this incident has made you wronged, everyone in the Lin family has treated you so well over the years." There’s nothing bad about it, you know?”
Lin Xi knew that they said these things because they were afraid of Su Qin's revenge on the Lin family, so they asked her to come.
This atmosphere made Lin Xi a little restless. She didn't want to talk about it anymore, so she stood up and said: "Grandpa, grandma, don't worry about Su Qin. I'll leave first if I have something to do at noon. I'll see you again next time when I'm on vacation." ."
The old man and the old lady had achieved their goals, and they did not continue to retain Lin Xi. The old lady smiled and said, "Okay, okay, then grandma will take you out."
So the old lady sent Lin Xi out personally. How could Lin Xi have been treated like this before?
After coming out, Lin Xi walked quickly to his parents and said, "Mom and Dad, I'm going back to the hotel first, Su Qin is still waiting for me."
Lin Wang chuckled and said, "I'll take you to the hotel."
When Lin Xi left the hospital, she breathed a sigh of relief, and the rest of the Lin family also breathed a sigh of relief.
