The arrogance of the city

Chapter 1540 No fruit in the box
After receiving Cao Xiuge's guidance, Xu Zesheng rushed from Jianguomen to Song's Mansion in Guxiang without stopping.

Song Luoshen was still in charge of the work in the department, and came back temporarily after receiving the notice from the tribe.

"Miss."

Song Lu shouted at the door.

Song Luoshen nodded and looked into the mansion.

"Where is old man Xu?"

Song Lu replied: "Talk to the Patriarch in the study."

Song Luoshen was silent for a moment.

"Lu Bo, please prepare something for me."

"Miss, please speak."

Song Luoshen said something softly.

After hearing this, Song Lu raised his head and looked at the eldest lady with some doubts, but he still fulfilled his duty without asking any more questions, and quickly took orders to leave.

After Song Lu left, Song Luoshen walked towards the inner courtyard.

……

"Mr. Xu, the last time we met, it should have been in the Great Hall. It must have been eight years, right?"

Inside the study.

Song Jingguo, head of the Song family, warmly received Xu Zesheng who came from afar.

Although the head of the Xu family is not as powerful as their Song family due to the limitations of the Hong Kong city, he is definitely a person worthy of his attention.
"Patriarch Song has a really good memory, Xu feels ashamed."

They are also people who have had a magnificent life, and they are good at acting every time. They obviously don't have any friendship at all, but sitting together at this time, they can still talk and laugh.

"Hehe, Mr. Xu was joking. Time is not forgiving. I can't accept old age. Now I feel more and more exhausted. I usually read a book for a while, and I will be exhausted. How can I compare with Mr. Xu."

Song Jingguo sighed leisurely: "Mr. Xu is old and strong, and he is still struggling in the front line of the group. Unlike me, he has retired long ago and left everything to his children and grandchildren. Whether they thrive or decline depends on their abilities. gone."

"Xu also hopes to retire and enjoy life in peace and happiness. I have no choice but to still sit in my seat. If I had such an outstanding descendant as Mr. Song and Miss Song, I would have chosen to retire long ago."

Regardless of whether Xu Zesheng's words were polite and self-effacing, at least they had a good effect. It seemed that Song Jingguo was very comfortable listening to them, because the smile on his face widened, causing the wrinkles on his face to become deeper.

"I've heard that Mr. Xu's business talent is no less than that of Mr. Xu. With such a beautiful son, why is Mr. Xu worried?"

Song Jingguo reciprocated and flattered him. Although he didn't specify which son it was, Xu Zesheng couldn't help but think of his youngest son Xu Shiheng who died tragically. Unbearable grief came to his heart instantly, and his expression became a little unnatural for a while. .

Although his eldest son is not bad, Xu Shiheng, who is recognized as a little superman, is undoubtedly more valued by him.

If the youngest son is still there, he is confident that the glory of the Xu family will not come to an end, but will be even more prosperous.

However, God is merciless.

The extreme grief of the white-haired man sending the black-haired man was also the reason that led him to this point of resentment.

Seeing Xu Zesheng's stiff and silent expression, Song Jingguo seemed to realize that he had mentioned a topic that shouldn't be mentioned, and was about to change the subject when a voice suddenly sounded from outside the door.

"grandfather."

Song Luoshen walked in.

"Luo Shen, you're back. Mr. Xu has been waiting for you for a long time."

Song Jingguo greeted him.

"Elder Xu."

Song Luoshen looked at Xu Zesheng who was sitting next to him, he was as polite as Cao Xiuge, fully showing the demeanor of a wealthy family in Kyoto.

The deceased is gone.

Xu Zesheng is not a person who can't distinguish between priorities. He pulled out of the sudden pain, showed a kind smile to Song Luoshen, and even stood up.

"Miss Song."

Although this was the first time he met this long-known daughter of the Song family, given his seniority, there was really no need to be so cautious.

God Song Luo sat down opposite.

"Mr. Xu came here to find me. I don't know what it is?"

Xu Zesheng's eyes fluctuated slightly after he sat down again. Song Luoshen's direct approach obviously caught him off guard and he was not used to it. But since Song Luoshen came in, Song Jingguo began to take the teacup and drink tea leisurely, throwing all the dominance to Granddaughter, no one in this study came to rescue him again.

After weighing for a moment, Xu Zesheng didn't beat around the bush.

"Some of my business actions have led to a lot of misunderstandings among the people about our Xu family. I made a special trip to the north this time, hoping to dispel some unwarranted rumors."

This daughter of the Song family who saw her for the first time gave him a completely different feeling from the crown prince of the Cao family, and even made people feel a faint sense of aggression, so Xu Zesheng did not use the same set of rhetoric he used to face Cao Xiuge, although it was still a bit Round and round, but at least not that high-sounding.

"Misunderstanding? Rumor?"

Song Luo, who was surprised by that guy's high efficiency, remained calm and looked at the head of the Xu family who had been used by her grandfather as a model for her business study.

"If Luoshen's guess is correct, Mr. Xu, he should have just returned from abroad, so why come to the north to talk about it?"

Although her tone was unremarkable, the effect was as sharp as a knife, making Xu Zesheng unavoidably a little bit embarrassed for a while.

Song Jingguo turned a blind eye, lowered his head and slowly blew on the tea leaves floating in the teacup.

"Our Xu family is in country Y, and we are only making legitimate and legal business investments. It is definitely not like the rumors from the outside world. Ms. Song was also a businessman. Hong Kong City is now in turmoil, and people go bankrupt every day. Where is the environment suitable for investment? ?”

As expected of a character who broke through the storm, after losing the initiative for a short time, Xu Zesheng quickly stabilized his position and launched a strong counterattack, speaking righteously and with reasons.

Song Luoshen looked uneasy.

"Justice is at the heart of the people. Since Mr. Xu feels that he has no fault, why bother to come to the capital to explain anything. However, I would like to ask Mr. Xu, as the most famous family in Hong Kong City, the country has never treated the Xu family badly. In this During the extraordinary period, Mr. Xu not only did not use his own influence to try to stabilize the situation, but instead transferred assets outward to add fuel to the flames in a disguised way. Does Mr. Xu think that this approach can be summed up by the phrase 'protect oneself wisely'?"

Rao Xu Zesheng was at a loss for words for a while, he was at a loss for words, and he was speechless.

Song Jingguo, like an old monk in meditation, still lowered his eyes, picked up the lid of the teacup, and took a sip of tea slowly.

"Mr. Xu came from a long way, so we can't let Mr. Xu make a trip in vain. Luoshen prepared a gift. Some wild fruits picked on Xiangshan Mountain a few days ago taste good. Give it to Mr. Xu to taste. Be careful, it won't work." My respect, I hope Mr. Xu will accept it."

Song Luoshen suddenly changed the topic.

Immediately, Song Lu walked in holding a purple wooden box and handed it to Xu Zesheng.

Song Jingguo also raised his head at this time and looked at the wooden box.

"...Thank you Miss Song for your kindness, then I won't bother you anymore."

Xu Zesheng's face was very ugly, and the other party's attitude had been very obvious. If he stayed any longer, he would just be humiliating himself. He took the box of wild fruits, said goodbye and left with a cold face.

"Luo Shen, what do you mean by giving him a box of wild fruits?"

Song Jingguo, who has spent most of his life fighting wits and courage in this capital city, was very puzzled by his granddaughter's last move.

Song Luoshen looked calm and turned to look at Xu Zesheng's back.

"The inside of the box...is empty."

empty?

Song Jingguo was startled, and then seemed to think of something.Staring at his granddaughter, his heart trembled uncontrollably.

During the Three Kingdoms period, Cao Cao also sent an empty food box to his important adviser Xun Yu.

Many years ago, he told this story to his granddaughter himself.

Seeing his granddaughter's calm profile, Song Jingguo opened his mouth, but in the end he didn't say anything, with a complicated expression on his face.

His granddaughter has grown up after all.

Outside the Song Mansion.

"Chairman."

The tall and mighty bodyguard opened the door for Xu Zesheng.

Xu Zesheng sat in the car, looked at the gate of the Song Mansion outside the window with a face as heavy as water, and then looked away, looking at the purple wooden box in his hand.

Although he was very annoyed, in the end, he reached out and slowly opened the box.

as predicted.

The box was literally empty.

Looking at the empty box, Xu Zesheng's face froze in vain, and then his eyes began to fluctuate uncontrollably.

No fruit in the box.

Please Jun...... Self-collection (cutting).
