Splendid in bag

After Lewis and Hughes had afternoon tea, they drove back to their company alone.In the car, Lewis repeatedly deliberated and interpreted every word Liu Xius said to him just now, as if doing a problem.He regretted that he didn't know enough about Liu Xius, so he didn't know if his understanding was correct.

What exactly did my brother mean?

Could it be just a casual joke?

Hey, if only I could understand him a little more...

Lewis returned to his office, and when he passed the vat of cherry blossom ranchu that was living leisurely, he saw his assistant walking over in a hurry.He said to Lewis, "President, Qiye Liu is here."

Liu Qiye is Lewis's seventh uncle.

Lewis was very surprised. He didn't know why Uncle Qi came to visit suddenly.There was never any business relationship between him and Uncle Qi, and there was not much private communication.

He only knew that among so many uncles and brothers, only Seventh Uncle was in the same camp as his brother.

At this moment, Uncle Qi came to look for him, but he felt faintly uneasy.

This incident was very strange, so the assistant also seemed a little worried.

Seeing that the assistant seemed nervous, Lewis smiled easily and patted him on the shoulder: "How long has Uncle Seven been here?"

"Well, just came here. I was going to call you."

"Oh, it's good that he just came. Fortunately, he didn't have to wait." Lewis' tone was relatively relaxed, as if he knew that his uncle would come early in the morning, which also made the assistant's mood more relaxed.

"Shangyuanchun" is different from the general large companies. Most of the places are given to designers, workers, and tailors, and they rarely receive VIPs, so there is no particularly decent place to entertain Uncle Qi.Therefore, Uncle Qi was arranged to sit in a small narrow room next to the tea room.

Lewis pushed open the door of the small room, and saw Uncle Qi sitting here contentedly, without any embarrassment.Seeing Lewis coming in, Uncle Seven said, "Did I come by accident? Are you busy?"

"That's not the case. On the contrary, Uncle, you came just in time. I just came back." Lewis said, and sat down on the small sofa on the other side of the room.

Uncle Qi and Lewis said with a smile: "Your company is very good, and the employees seem to be fierce and serious. I think it is very good."

Lewis nodded with a smile when he heard the scene, pretending to believe that Uncle Qi was sincerely praising himself.

In fact, how could Uncle Qi sincerely praise this kind of unprofitable company?

Moreover, the employees here don't seem to be "tigerous".Recently, everyone has been working overtime on design. After revising one draft after another, everyone lives on coffee and Red Bull. They should look like zombies.

"Recently, I am busy with product design for the next season. The company is full of materials, and there is no room to spare, so I can only let you sit here." Lewis explained with apologetic tone, "Seventh Uncle is so honored, he should have come earlier Tell me. I'm ready to receive you too. I'm so sorry that I can't find a room for you right now."

"It's okay! It's okay!" Uncle Qi waved his hand and took out the cigarette case from his pocket.

Although he was more polite and courteous to his elders, Lewis couldn't help stretching out his five fingers at this moment, making a stop gesture: "Uncle Seven, I'm sorry, smoking is not allowed here."

"Oh..." Uncle Qi was a little embarrassed, his finger that was about to take out a cigarette froze in mid-air, "Is that so..."

Lewis smiled and said, "Haha, I was the same as you when my brother came over last time. I stopped him when he was about to smoke. He was also quite embarrassed."

This sentence really eased the atmosphere a little. When Uncle Qi heard about this, he smiled: "Really? I really can't imagine your brother's embarrassment. If I can see his embarrassment, I will I am really willing to give any amount of money. Hahaha..."

Lewis thought carefully, the last time he stopped Hughes from smoking, Liu Xius didn't show any embarrassment at all.Or like Uncle Qi said, Hughes' embarrassment is really worth a thousand dollars, and it's not easy to see.

Uncle Seven put the cigarette case back into the inner pocket of the leather jacket, and said in a casual tone, "Since we're talking about your brother..."

Hearing this, Lewis' heart sank: It seems that something bad is really going to happen...

"I seem to have heard something strange before." Uncle Qi hesitated, and finally said it out, "I don't know if that bastard was talking nonsense, saying that the three of you drove all over the place a few days ago. The city's DNA laboratory..."

Lewis felt a "thump" in his heart, as if he had been hit.

Sure enough, this is the case——

Why is it spreading so fast?

Lewis also doesn't feel that someone behind the scenes may be fueling the flames and fanning the flames.

Could it be the third uncle?

Lewis thought it was possible.

Uncle Qi saw that Lewis had been silent, and felt that this matter might be true.

"Isn't it?" Seventh Uncle said in an exaggerated tone, "Don't you dare to write like that?"

Lewis said: "Yeah. It's an exaggeration. It's made up."

"Oh?" Uncle Qi leaned back slightly and raised his eyebrows, "So it's fake?"

"Well." Lewis nodded vaguely, "I don't know what rumors you have heard. As long as you analyze it a little bit carefully, you can know that this kind of thing is impossible at all. Think about it, if it is true, my explosive Can the grumpy dad sit still?"

"Haha, that's true!" Seventh Uncle nodded, "If what you said is true, then I can rest assured. But if..., I mean if—if, Lao Xiu is not Lao Liu's seed, That would be dangerous."

"No way?" Lewis said in a relaxed tone. "What danger is there? Is someone going to kill him?"

"Of course not. How can there be so many beatings and killings in a legal society?" Uncle Qi was joking, "But think about it, the ethos of our family. If he is not the blood of our Liu family, then, Everyone in the family will push him down together. Even the eldest brother can't keep him. Maybe even the eldest brother will overturn the car together!"

"Even—even father overturned?" Lewis was skeptical of this statement.

"Of course!" Seventh Uncle said solemnly, "Because he has no successors. However, if you are willing to inherit the family business, that's another matter."

The corners of Lewis' mouth twitched slightly, it didn't look like a smile, more like a twitch.

"You are really joking, Uncle Seven." Lewis looked very calm. Maybe he was quite naive and childish in front of Liu Xius, but he was still a junior who was neither humble nor overbearing in front of Uncle Seven. "My brother is the largest shareholder. My father also owns quite a lot of shares. Who can overthrow them?"

"You're right, but it's also not right." Uncle Qi said, "It seems that Lao Xiu owns 20% of the shares and is the largest shareholder, and your father and my eldest brother also hold 15%. The two together add up to 35%. %, the rest of us don’t add up to 33%, no matter how you look at it, it’s all about the father and son—if it’s real father and son. What if it’s fake?”

Lewis said without changing his face: "Is this also a fake?"

"Ah, no, aren't you saying 'if' now?" Uncle Seven laughed, "I mean 'if'."

"Yes, 'if'." Lewis thought for a while, "Even if your assumption is true, the math still chooses that. The sum of 15% and 20% is 35%, and 35% is more than 33%."

"Of course, math works like this." Uncle Qi said slowly, "But our company has internal regulations. It may be because you have never worked in the company and you haven't read our regulations clearly. Our company stipulates that only The direct blood relatives of the core members of the board of directors can hold more than 13% of the shares.”

"Is this true?" Lewis really didn't know that the company still had such strange rules.

Uncle Qi explained: "I mean, if Lao Xiu has no blood relationship with us, then he can only hold 13% of the shares at most. According to the company's articles of association, we can forcefully take back his more than 13% of the shares. That is, if we prove that he is not our blood relative, he will not be our largest shareholder."

This regulation was established to maintain the Liu family's control over the enterprise.

Moreover, if that time really comes, Old Liu may not be resolute in protecting Liu Xiusi's position in the company.

Lewis's thoughts suddenly became confused: Could it be that the "if you leave" that my brother just said was referring to this matter?Because, once Hughes is proved to have no blood relationship with the core members of the board of directors, he will be kicked out.Is it because of this that Hughes proposed to leave?

After Lewis knew the news, he became confused.

Is brother really going to leave?

After finishing his day's work, Lewis returned home earlier than usual.Both the assistant and Sister Lianzi were surprised by this.Lewis often worked overtime at work, and even if he didn't work overtime, he rarely came home on time, probably because he didn't want to go home at all but just wanted to escape.

And now he came home on time, why not surprise people?

Sister Lianzi was busy packing her luggage.Lewis asked her, "What are you packing?"

"Ask your brother." Sister Lianzi said, "He seems to be about to leave."

Lewis' complexion changed slightly, and he went down the stairs to the wine cellar, and sure enough, he saw Liu Xius there.

"You want to leave?" Lewis approached Hughes and asked, "What do you mean by that?"

Liu Xiusi didn't answer his question immediately, but looked at Lewis' face silently, as if he was sizing up Lewis' expression.He is watching.He observed Lewis' reaction to the news, he wanted to see the surprise and reluctance written in Lewis' dark brown eyes.

"Oh, brother." Liu Xiusi looked at Lewis, as if he was satisfied with what he saw, "Yes, I am going to leave."

Lewis' complexion became even worse, and the black pupils in the dark brown eyes dilated, as if a cat saw something flying suddenly.

"You're talking nonsense," Lewis said. "How can you just give up everything you've got?"

The elder brother he knew was not someone who would give up easily.The elder brother he knew was not a person who would give in easily.More importantly, the brother he knew was a greedy man.Liu Xiusi has always attached great importance to money, and in order to make a profit from the business, he often does everything he can.How could it be possible to easily give up this huge family property and leave with nothing?

Lewis' reaction reminded Lewis of a cat with its fur puffed up.

Like soothing a cat, Liu Xius stretched out his hand and gently brushed Lewis' hairline.

They hadn't had such an intimate act for a long time, and Lewis was stunned immediately when he felt the touch from the beginning.

"Yes, of course I'm talking nonsense." Liu Xiusi said lightly, "It's mine, it's mine."

Lewis couldn't even say a word to answer him.

Liu Xiusi is indeed like this, as long as it is something he thinks belongs to him, he will never let it go.

If you encounter something that doesn't belong to him—it depends on whether he wants it or not.

Lewis thought that although he and Liu Xiusi grew up together, they were actually not very familiar to a certain extent, and he didn't know many things about Liu Xiusi.Lewis felt a little regretful about this at the moment, and he felt that he had missed a lot.He could obviously witness Liu Xiusi's process from a young boy to a mature entrepreneur, but he didn't do it for awkward reasons.Now he still wants to know this person and wonders if it will be too late.

It might really be too late.

Lewis secretly said to himself that he had no way of understanding Liu Xiusi's inner world.
