Chapter 31 Negotiations

After reaching an agreement with the "New Technology Exchange Conference", Sang Guangting felt that he flew out of the narrow stage of Audrey Star and stepped onto a new peak in life.Under his leadership, the Sang family will become a wealthy family in Xingguo.This is the wish that my father and grandfather have been thinking about all their lives but could not achieve, and it will finally come true in his hands.

The dream was so intoxicating that when the old butler came to say that Mr. Cao was visiting, he couldn't recover.

"Isn't he already detained?"

The steward said, "It's another Mr. Cao, he said he's from Capital Star."

Sang Guangting stood up a little impatiently: "How many people with the surname Cao are there in Capital Star? Trouble! Drive him away. If he doesn't leave, tell Guo Tan to throw them into the prison together." Seeing that the housekeeper hesitated to speak, He stopped in his tracks, "Is there a problem?"

The housekeeper said: "This Mr. Cao looks exactly the same as the portrait in the old man's previous room."

The portrait in Grandpa's room?

Sang Guangting raised his eyebrows and said, "You mean Cao Xie?"

Everyone more or less has their own role model that they admire and imitate, but it is rare in the world to be as obsessed as his grandfather.His grandfather once wanted to train his father to be the second Cao Xie, even to the point of encouraging him to have plastic surgery.Sang Guangting's father, who had been "persecuted" for a childhood, changed his face when he heard Cao Xie. After his grandfather passed away, he threw away all the things related to Cao Xie in the study.

Sang Guangting heard about this period of history, and he was a little curious: "Could it be that this Cao family is the descendant of Cao Xie?"

The steward said: "I heard that Cao Xie dedicated his whole life to Xingguo and has no descendants."

Sang Guangting sneered disapprovingly: "Since it is the Cao family of Capital Star, there must be blood relationship, let him come in." After a pause, "Don't let the master touch you." He didn't want his father to be scared to death .

After the old housekeeper left, Sang Guangting suddenly realized that his status was different from what it used to be. Even the big family of Capital Star sent people to contact him. After looking at it happily for a long time, after changing three or four discoveries, after spraying on some perfume, I was satisfied with the cleaning, and walked down the stairs leisurely.

In his vision, the picture should look like this:

A heroic young man walked down the ancient stairs slowly with elegant steps, his noble demeanor stunned the people downstairs.

And in fact:

When Sang Guangting walked halfway, he met the beautiful eyes of the boy downstairs. His mind faltered, he stepped on the ground, and almost rolled down. He finally grabbed the railing to stabilize his figure, and his bangs collapsed because of the violent swing. Come down, hanging in front of your eyes in embarrassment.

Sang Guangting: "..." This is not the effect I want!

Cao Yu walked to the stairs, smiled and stretched out his hand: "Do you need help?"

Sang Guangting stood up straight, ignored the obstructive hand, and walked down with his chest held out: "There are always a few antiques that don't work in ancient families. This staircase has existed since Grandpa Zeng-Zeng-Zeng .”

Cao Xun said: "The pattern of happy crabapple flowers on the armrest was popular in the fifth and sixth centuries. It is said that it has the effect of blessing and blessing, which makes the noble family honor to this day."

It's a good thing to say, but it sounds uncomfortable.Sang Guangting frowned and said: "Our family has nothing to do with Capital Star, what can you learn from taking the time to come here?"

"We still have contacts." Cao Yu said calmly, "Isn't my cousin visiting your residence?"

The two surnamed Cao are indeed related.

Sang Guangting had a headache: "Oh, the person who intends to attack me is your cousin?"

Cao Yu said: "My cousin has been a good boy with all-round development of morality, intelligence and physique since he was a child. When he grows up, he is a good young man who is trusted and loved by the elders. He has long been appointed as the next successor of the Cao family." He paused slightly, his face condensed slightly, "If there is any misunderstanding, I'm afraid it's not just his fault."

Sang Guangting sneered and said: "This is Audrey star of the beauty galaxy, I will not take the threat of the capital star!"

Cao Yu said with a half smile, "This is Xingguo."

Sang Guangting's face turned cold.

Cao Yu continued slowly: "Since in such a place where everyone understands the law and everyone is reasonable, why don't you let us sit down and clear up the misunderstanding?"

Sang Guangting struggled inwardly.Detaining Cao Qizhi was impulsive, and the reason was not tenable, but he was unwilling to be forced to release him.

He said: "There is no misunderstanding! According to Audrey Star's law, if they intend to harm others, they must be imprisoned for a year or so." Silently thinking in his heart, if Cao Tong is sensible, he can shorten the sentence to two or three days later. Letting people go means that each of them has a step down.

Cao Huang turned his back, looked at the huge galaxy map of beautiful women hanging in the center of the living room, and said calmly: "The prosperity and decline of a country are made up of countless decisions; the prosperity and decline of a family are sometimes made up of one decision. It is caused by a decision. When people are controlled by their emotions, they feel that what they make is a matter of course, but when they come back to their senses and see the heavy price they have paid, they can’t help but regret it.” Before Sang Guangting got angry , He changed the topic, "The Sang family has been in the cableway equipment business for hundreds of years, and the cableways for Audrey Star are all provided by your family, and this brilliant achievement is about to be achieved. I should say congratulations in advance."

Cao Yu's words hit Sang Guangting's sore feet.

The cableway that Audrey Star can lay has been almost laid in the past 100 years, and after that, only equipment maintenance is left. For an enterprise, what a terrible thing is a market that is gradually disappearing!For the foreseeable future, their family has thought of many ways to open up the market, such as cross-industry manufacturing of automobiles and spaceship parts, attacking the domestic market of other planets, and the transformation of enterprises from manufacturing to service industry... all failed without exception. up.

Sang Guangting looked at Cao Yu's smiling face and said coldly, "What are you trying to say?" If Cao Yu came here to say this five days ago, he would definitely have someone beat him out and leave him alone What emotional sanity!But now that he has found a way out for his family, he can be in a good mood and ignore it.

After laying the groundwork for a long time, Cao Yu finally showed his sword: "Cao Qizhi is the only heir appointed by our Cao family. He will take on the glorious responsibility of continuing the family's glory for hundreds of years, and is the future and hope of the Cao family. I don't think anyone is better than you." Clearly, how hopeless and terrible would a family that lost its future and hope be?"

Sang Guangting felt guilty and terrified when he saw him. Obviously the volume and tone of the other party's speech was as calm as ever, but he just felt that the other party was overbearing, and he was so suppressed that he could hardly lift his head: "Now the Cao family can't protect themselves."

Cao Yu said, "That was in front of opponents like the Pang family."

Sang Guangting was irritated, and at the same time, felt a burst of deep fear.Although he has reached an agreement with the "New Technology Exchange Center" and has seen some of the strength displayed by the other party, having strength and having enough strength are two different things, and having enough strength and using enough strength are two different things.Will the other party provoke the Cao family for himself, or even the Hua family behind him, who has been entrenched in Xingguo for hundreds of years?

Cao Yu suddenly turned on the communicator, and a gentle female voice asked: "Mr. Cao, Director Pang asked if he should come forward?"

Sang Guangting was shocked when he heard it. The words "Pang" and "Director" are too sensitive right now.

Is it Pang Heyuan, director of the Central Intelligence Agency?

Why would he help the Cao family?

Is it a trap?

Is it scaring?

Yes……

Sang Guangting's mind was completely confused.

Just an hour ago, he still felt that he held the whole world, but at this moment, he felt that the world was moving away from him.

Cao Yu didn't seem to care about the communication that made Sang Guangting lose his mind, but connected with another person, and said softly, "Wait for us at the door."

The childish and clear voice asked, "Where is the door?"

"The gate of the house."

Sang Guangting, who was restless, hadn't realized what the door of the house meant, and the alarm of the house sounded hysterically as if he had been stepped on his belly.

Sang Guangting glanced at Cao Yu, took out a gun warily, held it in his palm and walked out.He has walked the road from the living room to the gate thousands of times from childhood to adulthood, and this time it felt unprecedentedly long, especially when accompanied by the trembling sensation of heavy objects constantly hitting the ground, which made his heart feel uneasy.

The old butler rushed to the door as soon as the alarm sounded, and was looking out in panic. When he saw Sang Guangting coming out, he quickly reached out to stop him: "Master, don't go out, I have already called..."

Sang Guangting pushed him away and opened the door.

The fort was disassembled in half and fell from the air, hitting the remains of other forts.A small red shiny mech landed from the sky, and a silver and black shiny mech stared straight at it.

Sang Guangting felt as if he was being targeted as a target, and his hand holding the gun trembled slightly.

"The owner of this mecha is only eight years old this year." Cao Yu stood behind him on the right, talking like a chat, "Even if this place is razed to the ground, it won't be imprisoned for too long. And there are many people in the Cao family. Working in the courtroom, I have a very good relationship with Justice Huamin of Xingguo, as long as I say that he fought back in self-defense, maybe he doesn’t need to go to jail at all.”

Sang Guangting's breathing gradually became heavy.

Cao Yu lowered his voice: "No matter how poor the Cao family is, you only need to move a little finger to kill you."

Sang Guangting pointed his gun at his head angrily.

The little red mecha suddenly raised its cannon and aimed at him.

Sang Guangting roared ferociously: "Do you dare to fire? At worst, we will die together."

The old butler was so frightened that his legs could not stand still: "Young master, don't be impulsive! Don't be impulsive!"

"What are you doing?" Sang Songbai woke up from his nap, and when he came down in a hurry, he saw his son pointing a gun at a beautiful young man... "Cao Xie?!" The childhood nightmare was vividly staged, fear and awe , Anger... All kinds of emotions came to his heart, he clutched his chest, feeling like he was going to be out of breath.

"Father!" Sang Guangting dropped Cao Yu and supported him.

Sang Songbai waved his hand: "Let him go, let him go!"

Sang Guangting gritted his teeth and said to the housekeeper, "Tell Guo Tan to release the people. Tell them to get out immediately! Get out of here!"

It was only three days in the prison, but every time he entered and exited, he seemed to be as open-minded as the previous life and the future. When he saw the blue sky and white clouds, Wang Zhen couldn't help but spread his arms and made a hug.

The old housekeeper urged them: "Let's go quickly, the master and the young master will be angry again when they see you."

After leaving the cell, Wang Zhen became lively again: "Why are you leaving! We haven't settled the score! What have we done, why don't you just lock us up for nothing?"

Cao Yu said: "Sang Guangting said that you intended to hurt him."

"Using brain waves?! Or is it eye-catching?" Wang Zhen said, "We met this old man when we entered the door, here, and that little old man! Which one is Sang Guangting?"

The little old man he was talking about was a middle-aged man in his 50s and [-]s, with a hunchback and gray hair, but he looked very smart and capable. "My name is Guo Tan." He walked over with strides, his eyes turned around on everyone's faces, and fell on Cheng Xiu: "You just defeated me?"

Cheng Xiu shrugged: "There are too many things that have been cleaned up just now, I don't know if you are in there."

Guo Tan confirmed: "How can you drive a mech at such a young age?"

"intrinsic."

Seeing that they were still chatting, the old housekeeper said anxiously: "Stop chatting, the young master asked you to send him away as soon as possible! Go away."

Wang Zhen refused to give up: "No, we will never leave if you don't speak clearly today!"

The old housekeeper said with a headache: "It's not our young master's idea to arrest you, you should find someone else."

"Whose idea was that?" Cao Yu, who had been watching the show, finally spoke.

The old butler immediately closed his lips tightly and did not speak.

"I'll see you off." Guo Tan made a gesture of invitation, "It's the same if you ask me anything."

"Guo Tan?" The old butler looked at him in surprise.

Guo Tan hugged him and whispered in his ear, "Tell Sang Guangting that I'm quitting, and ask the headquarters to send another policeman over."

Cheng Xiu's mecha couldn't take too many people, so Guo Tan drove out in a car, Wang Zhen, Cao Qizhi and Cao Yu all sat in it, and Cheng Xiu followed in the sky in the mecha.

Wang Zhen couldn't hold back his words, and patted the back of the driver's seat: "Just now the old man said it wasn't some young master who wanted to lock us up, who is that?"

Guo Tan said while driving: "Before you came, there was a person who called himself the secretary-general of the 'New Technology Exchange Association' and invited Sang Guangting to join. He encouraged him to lock you up."

Wang Zhen asked Cao Yu: "What is the 'New Technology Exchange Meeting'?"

Cao Huang shook his head, apparently hearing it for the first time.

Guo Tan said: "I don't know either. But Sang Guangting is very convinced by him."

Wang Zhen said: "His conviction is his business, and his conviction cannot be placed on our unhappiness!"

Guo Tan said, "Did you find Ma Qiang before you came here?"

"Who? No."

"Zhang Yao?"

"No."

"Lu Yuting?"

"no"

……

Wang Zhen reported seven or eight names in one breath, and Wang Zhen finally said "yes".

Guo Tan said: "He is not on good terms with him."

Wang Zhen was also speechless: "Sang Guangting is the lone star of Tiansha, right? Doesn't get along with anyone?"

Guo Tan said: "He has such a temper."

Wang Zhen said to Cao Qizhi: "Fortunately, someone took the first step!"

Cao Qizhi leaned against the window, looking out of the window in a daze.

It was only then that Wang Zhen realized that he hadn't said a single word since he came out of the cell. "What’s wrong with you?"

Cao Qizhi was depressed.

When he left Capital Star, he was gearing up to make a good career out of it.Even if you can't surpass Cao Yu, you can't be too far behind.Who knew that in just a few months, it would be reduced to the point where Cao Yu and Cheng Xiu came to rescue people.This is not the most hurtful thing, the most hurtful thing is that his performance has not been good in the past few months.This made him, who has been a top student since he was a child, feel ashamed like handing in blank papers in exams and not completing homework on time.

Feeling that Cao Yu was looking at him, he became more nervous and changed the subject: "How did you convince them to release him?"

Guo Tan was also very curious.With Sang Guangting's competitive nature, even if he is defeated, he will definitely hold on to his neck. It is really not in his character to be subdued like this.

Cao Yu said, "There are many reasons."

Cheng Xiu's strong strength is one reason.

The strong deterrence of the Cao family is one reason.

There is another reason, although he doesn't know what it is, but it must have something to do with Sang Guangting's father.

He said, "When you were arrested, did you mention the Cao family?"

Cao Qizhi asked very sensitively: "What do you mention them for?"

Cao Yu didn't speak anymore.

Guo Tan sent them all the way to the starship, but did not leave, but stood at the door, looking at the small mecha driven by Cheng Xiu.

Cao Yu stopped in front of him indiscriminately: "I don't think there is anything on the starship that would interest the police."

Guo Tan said: "I have already resigned."

Cao Yu said, "Then I won't bother you looking for your next job."

Guo Tan suddenly puffed out his chest and tried to straighten his back: "What do you think of me?"

Cao Yu said, "It's not very good."

"I don't want a high salary."

"I have no plans to invite anyone."

Guo Tan said unwillingly: "The next time they go out, I can be the bodyguard."

Wang Zhen came over: "We have the ability to protect ourselves."

Guo Tan looked suspicious.

Wang Zhen was so angry that there was no place to vent his anger, he immediately put on a posture: "If you don't believe me, let's try!"

Cheng Xiu stopped the mech and came out, and saw two people fighting fiercely outside.Cao Qizhi and Cao Yu watched from the side.

Cao Qizhi endured it, and finally couldn't help asking: "Why don't you ask me what kind of sponsorship I have gotten these days?"

Cao Yu put his hands in his pockets and said leisurely, "If you want to talk, you will take the initiative to say it."

Cao Qizhi took out a piece of paper from his pocket and unfolded it to him. There were more than a dozen names on the page, only two of which were checked, and the note on the side also chose the lowest level of sponsorship.

Cao Yu glanced and nodded.

Cao Qizhi said: "I have tried my best to convince them."

Seeing that Wang Zhen dodged Guo Tan's attack, Cao Yu raised his hands and applauded.

Cao Qizhi clenched his hands slightly, and said after a while, "I will try my best to keep up with your footsteps."

Cao Huang turned to look at him: "But I don't have to wait for you. My heart is only for one person, including all my patience."

Cao Qizhi: "..." It was obviously a very serious and dignified atmosphere, but suddenly he was thrown in the face by the pink foam, and he was blinded by the other side. What's going on? !

The battle finally came to an end. After probing for a long time, Guo Tan finally knocked Wang Zhen down with one punch.

Wang Zhen stood up and wanted to fight, but Guo Tan had already backed away.

"Young man, the fight will never end." Guo Tan calmed down and looked at Cheng Xiu longingly.

Cheng Xiu said, "I'm underage."

Guo Tan said: "You are very skilled in using the mecha, who is the teacher?"

Is he a martial idiot?

Cheng Xiu stroked her chin and thought: Who is better to cheat?

After thinking about it, he couldn't help looking at Cao Yu.

Cao Yu also looked down at him.

After so many years, every time I think of defrauding someone, the first target is Thomas Cao.

Cheng Xiu pursed her lips and said to Guo Tan, "You can learn without a teacher."

Guo Tan didn't believe it, and was going to find out the answer himself: "Keep me, you will need it."

Wang Zhen said unconvinced: "You only beat me by a little bit, so how useful it can be!"

Cao Yu asked, "Why were you imprisoned if you won a little?"

Wang Zhen blushed a bit: "That time he was wearing a police uniform..."

He and Cao Qizhi were at a loss, and they didn't realize what happened until they were locked in.It's too embarrassing to tell such silly black history!He turned his head away, unwilling to continue talking.

In the end, Cao Yu agreed with Guo Tan to board the ship.

In order to thank Cheng Xiu and Cao Yu for their rescue, Wang Zhen showed off his skills. Not only did he prepare desserts, but he also cooked a delicious dinner.

Guo Tan sat down bluntly.

After the meal, Cao Yu pointed to the people in line below Sang Guangting: "Have you visited?"

Cao Qizhi shook his head.

Guo Tan took a look and said: "Zengcheng? The most popular tourist attractions of Audrey Star belong to him. Sang Guangting bought two scenic spots to grab business, but lost, and the relationship between the two is not good. .”

Wang Zhen said whimsically, "If we scolded Sang Guangting as soon as we entered, would he treat us differently?"

Cao Yu said, "Yes."

Wang Zhen felt that he had come up with a good idea and was very proud.

Cheng Xiu understood Cao Yu's meaning and explained, "He will look at you with supercilious eyes."

Wang Zhen: "..."

Guo Tan said: "Zengcheng is very down-to-earth in doing business, and occasionally does a little charity. He is not an opportunist."

Cao Yu smiled and said, "Not being an opportunist doesn't mean you don't like opportunities."

Before coming to the door, Cao Yu asked Tan Guo to make a detailed report on Zeng Cheng's current situation.Originally thought it would take a little time to inquire, but Guo Tan turned around and wrote it-simple resume, family members, usual hobbies and so on.

Guo Tan said: "Most of the businessmen in Audrey Star, Sang Guangting, asked me to investigate, and I have a good memory." He knew that Cao Yu had not fully accepted himself, and he did self-promotion when he found an opportunity.

Cao Yu handed the paper to Cao Qizhi: "How are you going to convince him?"

Holding the paper, Cao Qizhi felt as if he had returned to the day when he was defending his dissertation, but he was only a little more nervous.He thought for a while and said: "I will promise that after the establishment of the new party, we will promote the tourism industry of the beautiful galaxy in the central galaxy, and strive for more government funding and preferential policies." After a pause, "What about you?"

Cao Huang smiled and said, "First of all, I will tell him that within three years, we will win [-] second-member seats in the National Political Council."
