Volume 4: The World of Great Conflict Chapter 0397 The Same Hypocrisy
"We will definitely not be polite." Nan Yi picked up the teacup and said politely: "If Dongyue and I have done anything wrong, please don't blame Ah Sheng and Uncle Liu."
"Haha, I'm not surprised. The less you treat me as outsiders, the happier I will be." Wu Zaisheng quickly responded with a smile: "Ah Hao, try the snacks. They are made using the traditional method passed down from our ancestors."
Nan Yi nodded, picked up a piece of Dingsheng cake and handed it to Ueto Masami first, then picked up another piece, put it under his nose to smell it, and then put it down.
Put it on the coffee table instead of putting it back in the fruit bowl.
"It smells delicious, but I'm a little hungry, Asheng, why don't we have the main course first and then have dessert after the meal."
"Ha, okay, then let's eat first." Wu Zaisheng stood up and led Nan Yi and the other person out.
Ueto Masami held the Dingsheng cake in her hand and did not put it back, but she did not put it in her mouth . She just followed Nan Yi with it.
During the dinner, Nan Yi asked coldly, "Ah Sheng, when did your Wu family come to Eagle Country?"
"Our family has been here for more than a hundred years... [If you have forgotten, just go back and read Chapter 304 again. I won't repeat myself.]" Wu Zaisheng went on to tell Nan Yi the history of the Wu family that he already knew, and also mentioned the stories of Jardine Matheson and Jardine Matheson.
"Your family's current business is called Fu Sheng Xing. It's a very meaningful name, isn't it?"
Wu Zaisheng was easygoing and was not upset by Nan Yi's question. After a brief silence, he said, "My grandfather probably wanted to restore the glory of his ancestors by giving him this name. I won't think too much about it. I only have one Jinggexuan, so forget it."
As soon as Wu Zaisheng said this, Liu Agui, who was sitting next to him, showed heartache on his face and patted Wu Zaisheng's shoulder gently to comfort him.
Nan Yi heard a hint of insincerity in Wu Zaisheng's words. He must be resentful about Jardine Matheson & Co. And from the sentence "there is only one Jinggexuan", Nan Yi also heard that he had ideas about the Wu family's property.
Based on whether he was motivated or not, Wu Zaisheng also had great ambitions, so Nan Yi encouraged him: "If you have a will, you will succeed. If you burn your boats, the 120 Qin passes will eventually belong to Chu. If you work hard, God will not let you down. If you sleep on firewood and taste gall, the 3,000 Yue troops can conquer Wu.
A Sheng, this is an era of great changes in the world economy. There are countless opportunities waiting for us to tap into. Think about how your ancestors were able to start from scratch in the face of such a turbulent situation. What is impossible for you?
Go dream, go adventure, go do it, comrade, my good comrade A Sheng, ten thousand years is too long, we must seize the day! "
When Wu Zaisheng heard Nan Yi's words, his face was full of excitement, and his mouth twitched. After a long time, he exhaled a breath of turbid air and suddenly looked up at Nan Yi. He saw the encouragement in Nan Yi's eyes, showed a grateful smile, stood up solemnly, and bowed to Nan Yi, "Thank you!"
Wu Zaisheng's movements were too fast. Nan Yi had no time to stop him, nor did he want to stop him. His mind was racing, and he soon figured out why Wu Zaisheng did this.
"Damn it, this grandson Wu Zaisheng has been waiting for a suitable opportunity to change his decadent disguise image for a long time, right? He certainly knows that his grandfather's health is failing, and the struggle for the succession of the Wu family has reached a critical moment, so he can't continue to pretend.
Was I forced into the position of a noble?
I guess, even if I don't ask about the Wu family, this grandson will tell me sooner or later. Was I used as a pawn by this grandson when we were by the river?"
Nan Yi stood up, openly supporting but secretly pressing down, just like at some drinking tables, when others pour wine for him and he shouts "Enough, enough", but his fingers are pressing on the bottle mouth to prevent others from lifting it. It is so hypocritical.
"Hey, Ah Sheng, don't be like this. Your sudden realization has nothing to do with me. Everything depends on you. You don't need to thank me."
"No, Ah Hao, your words are really enlightening and have awakened me. It is true that listening to your words is worth more than reading for ten years." Wu Zaisheng said solemnly again.
"Grandson, that's enough. You're even better at pretending than me. Believe it or not, if you keep pretending, I'll have someone shoot you as soon as you get out of the house?" With thunder in his chest but his mouth as calm as a lake, Nan Yi laughed and said, "Hahaha, Ah Sheng, you're flattering me to death."
"No, I'm serious. Ah Hao, you are my mentor and I have benefited a lot from you."
As soon as Wu Zaisheng finished speaking, a waiter came to the door of the private room. Seeing his boss entertaining guests, he lingered at the door, hesitating and not daring to come in.
Fortunately, Liu Agui saw it, called the person in, and walked aside to ask.
Soon, Liu Agui walked back to Wu Zaisheng and said, "Young Master, Ye Ronghuan, the boss of Rongye Bank, is here. Do you want to go over and meet him?"
If it were usual, Liu Agui would never tell Wu Zaisheng about this, but now Wu Zaisheng has obviously rekindled his fighting spirit, and Wu Zaisheng's father Wu Fuxing has been very kind to Liu Agui, so he must lend a helping hand to Wu Zaisheng and give him the opportunity to take charge of the Wu family.
What's more, Ye Ronghuan, who came here, had a very large and successful business under his name Rong Ye Xing in Eagle Country and he had considerable power, so he was a suitable person for Wu Zaisheng to make friends with.
When Wu Zaisheng heard what Liu Agui said, he suddenly looked embarrassed and glanced at Nan Yi inadvertently.
"Pretend, keep pretending. If you didn't look at me like this, I would have thought you were sincere, but you did. If I pretend not to understand your dilemma, what can you do?" Nan Yi said, "Ah Sheng, since you have guests, go and do your business. I have nothing to do here."
"Then Ah Hao, and Miss Dongyue, please feel free to do as you please. I'll be back soon." Wu Zaisheng stood up and said apologetically.
Nan Yi waved his hand and said with a smile: "You go ahead and do your work, we will definitely be free to do whatever we want."
After Wu Zaisheng and Liu Agui left, Ueto Masami said, "Zihao, Mr. Wu's personality is similar to yours, no wonder you two can chat so quickly."
Nan Yi could tell that what Ueto Masami said was not a good thing, but he still said seriously: "Yes, Ah Sheng and I get along very well, as if we knew each other in some way."
They are very similar, with the same far-sightedness, the same insincerity, and the same hypocrisy.
Youth is wonderful, but we have two old grandchildren.
Being at someone else's home ground, Nan Yi and Ueto Masami were not in a position to talk about anything too sensitive, so they talked about the movie "The Story of Yanxi Palace" which was released not long ago.
After chatting for a few words, we heard a series of footsteps coming towards the private room from afar.
Soon, Wu Zaisheng, Liu Agui, and a middle-aged man wearing glasses, with a desert on his head, no grass in the middle and a few sparsely grown yellow weeds on the edges, walked into the private room.
Wu Zaisheng took the lead in introducing, "Let me introduce you. This is Ye Ronghuan, the owner of Rong Ye Hang. Rong Ye Hang is the largest Chinese food supermarket and wholesale center in Birmingham. Many Chinese restaurants and grocery stores purchase goods from Rong Ye Hang. Ye Hang's business is now growing bigger and bigger, and it already has a branch in London."
After introducing Ye Ronghuan, Wu Zaisheng introduced Nan Yi and the other person, "Mr. Ye, this is my good friend Song Zihao, and this is his girlfriend Dong Yuezi."
"Hello, I'm Ye Ronghuan, and I'm very happy to meet you two." Ye Ronghuan smiled and walked towards Nan Yi and the others with his right hand extended.
