For Zhao Taiqing, he has now reached the pinnacle of his own strength. He is considered a big boss in Shuzhou that no one dares to mess with. He is on an equal footing with Uncle Dong.
In recent years, he and Uncle Dong have been in harmony with each other, and they have maintained a tacit understanding that no one will provoke the other. Zhao Taiqing thought that as long as he was stable, he would slowly retire and take over, and finally land safely and live out his old age. This life would be content. .
But now the appearance of Su Qin suddenly disrupted his plan. Su Qin's meal made Zhao Taiqing somewhat excited.
Join Su Qin's camp, help the Su family and the Lin family defeat the Duan family and Uncle Dong, and become the uncrowned king of Shuzhou. In fact, it doesn't matter. After all, it is easy to enjoy the shade with the big tree of the Su family behind. However, Zhao Taiqing is not very interested. He feels that The current situation is pretty good.
He just wants stability now and doesn't want to take risks. The Duan family and Uncle Dong are not easy to provoke. Who knows that the Li family is behind the Duan family. If the Li family ends up helping, then who knows what will happen, but don't In the end, the boss fights and the younger brother suffers, and the Zhao family loses more than they gain by becoming cannon fodder.
As for what Su Qin said as long as he captured Shuzhou, he was willing to continue to follow Su Qin across the southwest, and eventually let the Zhao family jump out of Shuzhou and become a powerful family in the entire southwest. Zhao Taiqing did not dare to think about it, because This is the cake Su Qin drew for him.
The premise is that he must pay first and help with matters in Shuzhou, so that he can gain the trust of the Su family.
Zhao Taiqing was a little tempted, but he would definitely have to discuss it with his family when he returned. It was unknown whether the rest of the family would agree, and he felt that there was a high possibility of rejection because he wanted stability.
But Su Qin finally made a condition that he couldn't refuse, which was to let the Zhao family in Xishu return to the collateral line of the Zhao family. This was what everyone in the Zhao family in Xishu wished for. Once they became a collateral line of the Zhao family in Beijing again, Then the Zhao family in Xishu will have a strong background, and no one will dare to provoke them at will.
I think back then, the Zhao family of Xishu was considered a powerful collateral branch of the Zhao family. However, as time went by, their relationship became more and more distant, and their strength became weaker and weaker. They were naturally kicked out of the Zhao family's collateral line. The Zhao family They don't even acknowledge their existence.
Several generations of the Zhao family in Xishu have wanted to return to the Zhao family's collateral line, because the Zhao family is one of the eight aristocratic families in the federation, and the importance of this level of status is no small matter.
If this is the case, then what Su Qin said will definitely come true, because behind the Zhao family of Xishu is the Zhao family of Shangjing, and with the trust and help of the Su family, the Zhao family of Xishu can easily become the leader of the southwest Top family.
These two things are a virtuous cycle. Being re-recognized by the Zhao family and enriching the strength in the southwest will ensure that no matter how hard you work hard in the future, you will be able to enter the core circle of the Zhao family.
Can Zhao Taiqing not be moved?
After an unknown amount of time, Zhao Taiqing finally calmed down his excitement. He said solemnly, "Young Master Su, is what you said true?"
Su Qin knew that this condition was enough to seduce Zhao Taiqing. He said happily: "Of course it is true. We are talking about cooperation now. If I only give you a picture without actual actions, how can I convince you?"
Zhao Taiqing said loudly: "If this is really the case, I will go back and report to my family. I think my family will agree, as long as Mr. Su doesn't break his promise."
Su Qinfeng said calmly: "If your family doesn't trust me, I can let the Zhao family recognize you first, and then you can decide whether to deal with the Duan family and Uncle Dong with me. There is one more thing I want to remind you, you are Have you never thought about why the Duan family formed an alliance with Uncle Dong? What conditions did the Duan family give to Uncle Dong? Is it possible that after the Duan family entered Shuzhou, after they defeated the Lin family, they would turn around and support Uncle Dong against you, Zhao Taiqing? ?」
This sentence suddenly woke up Zhao Taiqing. Zhao Taiqing broke out in a cold sweat. He had never thought about this matter before, thinking that the Duan family was just asking Uncle Dong to help deal with the Lin family, because the Lin family and the Duan family were at odds with each other. .
Now that Su Qin had finished saying this, Zhao Taiqing suddenly realized that it would be terrible if this was really the case.
Zhao Taiqing couldn't help but feel a little scared. The Zhao family in Xishu had indeed been a little too comfortable in the past few years. They were bent on seeking stability and were not prepared to be prepared for danger in times of peace. Now
The crisis has arrived, and they don't even know it. This is really not the case.
Zhao Taiqing said with a gloomy face: "Master Su, I understand. Thank you very much for reminding me, Master Su. I'll go home right away."
Su Qin took the initiative to stretch out his hand and said, "Master Zhao, I'm waiting for your news. I hope we can fight side by side."
Zhao Taiqing nodded and then greeted Su Qin and left the International Financial Center quickly. His steps were a little hurried, obviously anxious, and even more impatient.
When Su Qin finished talking about the last thing, the Zhao family actually had no choice, not to mention the conditions Su Qin offered were too tempting...
After Zhao Taiqing left, Han Xianjing walked slowly over and asked, "Master, do you think Zhao Taiqing will agree?"
Su Qin said disapprovingly: "Do you think he has a reason to refuse?"
He has offered benefits that are irresistible and has pointed out the Zhao family's crisis. If the Zhao family is not stupid, they will know what to do next.
As for Su Qin's promise to let the Zhao family in Beijing recognize the Zhao family in Xishu again, he felt that this was not a difficult task. In terms of his relationship with the Zhao family, it was just a sentence.
Of course, he couldn't directly go to Zhao Jitong, the head of the Zhao family. He was not qualified to give instructions to Zhao Jitong. Zhao Jitong was the head of the Zhao family, a big boss on the same level as his grandfather.
Although Zhao Jitong was very kind to him, it was just an elder caring for a younger generation. When the interests of the Zhao family were really involved, Zhao Jitong would definitely weigh the pros and cons from the Zhao family's perspective.
Su Qin also thought about asking Zhao Jingshi to come over and just go through the motions. After all, Zhao Jingshi is now obedient to him. As long as he fools around, he will definitely come. However, Zhao Jingshi's status is not enough, not to mention that he is still very young and he is a commoner. It is not enough at all. grid.
It is definitely impossible for Zhao Jitong to come, so it can only be Zhao Jingwei, the eldest son and the future head of the Zhao family. It is most appropriate for him to come to Xishu.
But Su Qin and Zhao Jingwei are not familiar with each other. If he calls Zhao Jingwei directly, Zhao Jingwei may not agree and will definitely report to Zhao Jitong. Whether Zhao Jitong answers or not is another matter.
Therefore, Su Qin could only fool the last person, Shasha.
Thinking of this, I just went ahead and dialed Shasha's phone number without hesitation.
When the call was connected, Su Qin asked with a smile: "Your Majesty, what are you busy with?"
At this moment, Shasha was looking up information in the school library. She was a little surprised when she received a call from Su Qin, because Su Qin rarely called her actively, so Shasha put down what she was doing and walked out of the library to answer the phone.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, it's such an honor for the eldest young master of the Su family to call me. Tell me if you have anything to ask me for." Shasha said bluntly. If she doesn't go to the Three Treasures Hall for anything, Su Qin will definitely not do it to her for no reason. Making a phone call, Shasha is so smart and can’t he guess?
Su Qin was a little stunned and said, "Ah, how did you know that I had something to ask you for?"
Shasha said angrily: "Su Qin, please check your conscience. Since you returned to China, you have called me several times. When did you call me for something wrong? Don't tell me that you only cared about me when you called me?"
Su Qin said shamelessly: "Shasha, what if I really just care about you?"
Shasha is very popular at Harvard and is known as the princess from the East. Many people wave politely and say hello when they see Shasha. Several classmates will pass by and see Shasha and say hello. After Shasha has dealt with it, they say: " Really? Then I thank you. Everything is fine with me. If there is nothing wrong with you, I will hang up first."
Su Qin said quickly: "No, no, no, no, I really have something to see you for."
Shasha snorted coldly: "Then if you have something to say, come on, come on, I'm still busy."
There's no way Shasha can help her character. Her father, Zhao Jitong, is so doting on her only daughter. All the mothers in the family are also doting on her. In addition, her brother Zhao Jingwei is also a crazy protector of his sisters. No one in the Zhao family dares to do so. If you mess with him, no one even in the circle in Shangjing would dare to mess with him.
Su Qin then said seriously: "Shasha, I encountered something in Xishu.
, I need your or your family’s help. "
"Just tell me what's going on." Shasha stopped joking and said in a deep voice.
Su Qin had nothing to hide from Shasha and told Shasha the whole story without hesitation. To put it bluntly, he needed help from the Xishu Zhao family, and the condition for the Xishu Zhao family to agree to help was that the Zhao family recognized the Xishu Zhao family. This collateral line is as simple as that.
After Su Qin finished speaking, Shasha fell into deep thought, because this was not a personal matter, but involved family interests. It was not difficult to recognize the Xishu Zhao family, but she couldn't make the decision.
So Shasha frowned and said, "Su Qin, I know what you mean, and I want to help you, but I have to tell my dad about this. I will try my best to help convince him, but if he doesn't agree, I can't do anything, because this It’s a family matter.”
Su Qin thought it was very simple, but he didn't expect that Shasha didn't directly agree. It seemed that he thought it was too easy.
Shasha continued to explain: "Su Qin, you may not know the rules of our Zhao family. I don't know if your Su family is like this. The collateral lines recognized by the main line of the family must recognize their ancestors and return to the clan. I listen to the Zhao family of Xishu As I said, their blood relationship is too far apart. Once they are recognized as ancestors, they will be the real Zhao family. If they have anything to do in the future, the whole family will have to help them. It is not just a word of approval for them. "
After Shasha finished explaining, Su Qin seemed to pour cold water on him. The rules of the Zhao family are really different from those of the Su family. The Su family doesn't care about these rules because they all have the same origin and the same blood flowing. The Su family approves There is only one condition for the collateral branch, and that is to respect strength.
Strong collaterals can not only enter the ancestral tombs of the ancestral hall, but also enter the family council of elders to participate in family affairs and obtain dividend rights. This is the main reason why the Su family is strong.
Su Qin was a little disappointed and said, "Shasha, I'm sorry, I just wanted to keep things simple."
Shasha shook her head and said: "Su Qin, it's nothing. It's just that you don't know the rules of our family. But it's not impossible. As long as you can convince my dad, it's okay. To put it bluntly, it's up to me. Dad, are you willing?"
Su Qin thought for a moment and said, "Then I'll call Uncle Zhao?"
Shasha directly interrupted Su Qin and said: "Forget it, my dad will definitely disagree if you ask, so let me do it. As for whether it will work in the end, I dare not agree to you. You can only wait for my news."
Now that the matter has come to this, Su Qin has no choice but to say, "Okay, then I'll wait for your news."
After hanging up the phone, Su Qin stood on the top floor of the International Financial Center and fell into deep thought. He had to reflect on himself to see if he was too conceited sometimes.
Now that he has made a promise to the Xishu Zhao family, what if the Zhao family in Beijing does not agree? When the time comes, the Xishu Zhao family will be disappointed and refuse the conditions he proposed, then the matter will be a little tricky, so just The conditions can be opened again.
In the future, it is better to prepare for this kind of thing in advance and not to be caught off guard. This is a lesson.
After Shasha finished her phone call with Su Qin, she returned to the school dormitory from the library. She did not live outside and had always lived in the school dormitory.
As the daughter of a wealthy family like her, she could live in a villa or a mansion, but Shasha didn't like that kind of life. She studied abroad to study and study, not to enjoy a comfortable life.
Besides, the conditions of the school dormitory are also very good. She has roommates to keep her boredom away, and the study atmosphere is also good, so she lives in the school.
After returning to the dormitory, none of the roommates came back. In such a top university, the top academics are very involved. For example, the library is brightly lit at night, and there are no seats if you don't go there early.
After washing and lying on the bed, Shasha called her father. The call was quickly connected. Shasha said with a smile: "Dad, what are you busy with?"
Zhao Jitong, who was drinking tea in the company office, said casually: "Where's the office? Why aren't you sleeping at this hour? Do you have no money to spend?"
Zhao Jitong was joking on purpose, and Shasha said angrily: "Have I ever spent your money? You are always money, money, money. Why do you smell like copper? Moms
How did I train you? You are the patriarch of the Zhao family after all. Can you have some taste and connotation? "
The more his daughter talked about him, the happier Zhao Jitong became. Who would let this be his little cotton-padded jacket.
Zhao Jitong laughed loudly and said, "My dear daughter is right. Your father is good at everything but the smell of copper is too strong. Let me go to a concert tonight to cultivate my own taste."
Of course, Zhao Jitong followed his daughter's topic, but he didn't know that he was a talented student in the Department of Architecture of Shuimu University and had high attainments in art. All the artworks he collected were purchased when these artists were not yet successful. Now, I don’t know how many times the price has gone up, how could it not be in good taste?
The opening remarks had been laid. Shasha thought for a moment and finally got to the point. She smiled and said, "Dad, is there something I want you to help me with?"
Zhao Jitong said playfully: "The fox's tail is exposed. I knew it was up to you to call me. Tell me about anything. Dad will agree to whatever you say."
"This is what you said." Shasha said quickly.
Zhao Jitong chuckled and said, "You little girl, what else can you do to the film? Just tell me."
Shasha said slowly: "Actually, it's not my business. It's Su Qin who asked me for a favor. This is probably what happened. Listen to me and tell you slowly..."
Zhao Jitong's expression changed when he heard about Su Qin. When Shasha started talking about Su Qin, Zhao Jitong's brows became more and more wrinkled. He really wanted to interrupt his daughter, but he could only listen patiently.
It didn't take long for Shasha to finish speaking, and then asked: "Dad, this is probably what happened. Can you help Su Qin? You also know Su Qin's situation. He has nothing to do now. Besides, this is the first time he has asked me for help. "
Who knew that Zhao Jitong said without hesitation: "No, absolutely not, I don't agree."
Shasha didn't expect her father's attitude to be so firm. She said a little displeased: "Dad, what did you say just now? You said you would agree to anything I said. Why don't you keep your word?"
Zhao Jitong responded confidently: "I can promise you other things. Even if you ask me to go to Vancouver to kneel down and apologize to your mother, I will accept it, but this cannot be done. This involves the interests of the family. Although I, Zhao Jitong, am The head of the Zhao family, but I can’t mess around. If I just recognize the Xishu Zhao family casually, then the entire Zhao family will be in chaos. This involves a lot of things, can you understand?"
Shasha knew that her father would say this. She gritted her teeth and said, "Dad, just this time, okay? I will never speak casually again in the future. Can you just help Su Qin once? I believe you have a way. You are the Zhao family The clan leader."
Zhao Jitong still refused to let go and said: "No, no, this is absolutely not possible, so don't insist on it.".z.
If the soft one doesn't work, then the only option is the hard one.
Shasha suddenly shouted with full force: "Zhao Jitong, what do you mean, am I too good to you? It's just such a stupid thing, and it's not a matter of a word from your clan leader. If you don't agree, I will never do it again." When you return to China, you will never see me again in your life."
Zhao Jitong was stunned by Shasha's direct yelling. He was a slave to his daughter, and he didn't know what to do when his daughter got angry.
Originally he was reasonable, but now he was unreasonable and had to find a way to coax his daughter. This made Zhao Jitong speechless.
Zhao Jitong had no choice but to reply: "Daughter, it's not that dad doesn't want to help you, it's just that this matter is too troublesome, and once you open this door, there will be countless problems later."
Shasha didn't care about this. She directly used her trump card and said: "I don't care about your excuses. Just think of your own solution. If you can't even help me, why are you the leader of the clan? Besides, you are doing this to me." Are you helping? You are helping your future son-in-law, so think carefully about whether it will ultimately help you."
Future son-in-law?
Zhao Jitong was stunned when he heard this, and then became extremely excited. He quickly asked: "Future son-in-law? Shasha, are you sure about your relationship?"
Shasha just used this reason to force her father to submit, so she could only use the trick and said: "Don't worry about it, just tell me whether you can help or not?"
Zhao Jitong crossed his legs and felt a little complacent. He hesitated for a while and then said: "If you are really determined to be in a relationship, your father and I will be able to help with this matter if I can, but I will have to find a way to help if I can't, so you don't have to worry about it."
Dad finally relented, and Shasha smiled brightly and said, "So you agreed?"
"I agreed, this is nothing, it's just a piece of cake." Zhao Jitong said loudly.
Just now, he said that it was impossible to absolutely disagree, that the Zhao family would be in chaos if he agreed, but now he said that this was nothing but a trivial matter. Zhao Jitong changed his face really quickly.
Just like the classic line, he is my beloved relative and friend.
Need to add money...
