"Is this what father thinks?" Lewis was a little panicked, "Father told a huge lie just to let me go back and inherit the family business, so that the family property will not be left behind?"

"For these old antiques, there is nothing more important than this." Hughes' tone became very cold, "Inheritance."

Not to mention a wealthy man like Lao Liu, even a penniless trafficker, often desperately wants to have a son so that he can "inherit something."For traditional elders, "inheritance" and "reproduction" are the top priorities.

Hughes believed that if the fruits of his life's struggle were captured by outsiders, Lao Liu would definitely feel the pain and despair that would make life worse than death.

That's what Hughes wanted.

He wanted Lao Liu to suffer as much as possible.

"I promised him, I will think about it carefully." Lewis was a little confused, "To be honest, if I become the chairman, I can't help you much, right?"

"Well, in the end, it's about equity." Hughes nodded and said, "So, whether to be the chairman or not is the second. You have to persuade him to give you 15% of his equity."

"What?" Lewis was shocked, "Isn't that equivalent to asking for all his shares?"

Hughes replied: "We are so passive now, in the final analysis, because we don't have enough equity in our hands. So now they want to dismiss me or kick you away, and we have no way to stop them. However, if we can If you get 15% of Lao Liu, it will be a different scene."

Lewis shook his head and said, "Having said that, how could father hand over the equity so easily?"

"Yes, it won't be easy." Hughes said, "I can teach you how to do it...but..."

Hughes paused, and Lewis patiently waited for Hughes to finish speaking, because usually the words after "but" are the key points.

"But," Hughes said, "you wish I didn't treat you like a child? You want to prove yourself, don't you?"

"That's right." Lewis was a little surprised. He didn't expect Hughes to really notice his mentality. "I really want to prove myself."

Lewis wanted to prove that he was not a child, that he was a mature man-to prove that he was a man worthy of Hughes.

Hughes said, "Then try your own method."

"Huh?" Lewis was a little surprised, "Are you relieved?"

"Of course." Hughes smiled, "I don't worry if you do things."

Lewis suddenly felt a lot of pressure: "I don't feel relieved...if it doesn't work..."

"Before doing big things, the most important thing is to be unconfident." Hughes said reassuringly, "It won't matter if you really can't do it. Get up wherever you fall!"

This did not appease Lewis.

After all, Lewis has recently positioned himself as the "suiter" of Hughes, and it is not a good sign that he can't do things in front of the person he is pursuing.

Lewis drove Hughes home.On the way, Hughes has been dealing with work and kept busy.Lewis finally understood the working status of Hughes a little bit.Everyone said that Hughes was a "very busy man", and now he saw that he was really a "very busy man".Lewis thought he was quite busy recently, but looking at it now, he really couldn't compare.

Speaking of which, Lewis is only managing two companies now, and the number of companies under the "Proud Eagle" Group is really incomparable.

There was a traffic jam on the road, and the car came to a standstill.Hughes put down his phone, lowered his seat, and took a nap.Seeing Hughes in such a tired state, Lewis couldn't help but feel a little distressed, and muttered inappropriately: "It's better to be dismissed... so you can sneak in..."

Having said that, Lewis still prefers Hughes to continue as chairman.Because, that's what Hughes wanted to do.

Lewis sent Hughes home. Hughes had already woken up from a nap, and when he got off the car, he was still in good spirits.

Lewis has to admire that Hughes is really energetic, and after a little rest, he can be full of energy as if he was fully charged.

The two returned home and had dinner together.During the period, Lewis received a call from Uncle Qi, who said he wanted to invite him to dinner tomorrow night.Lewis hesitated for a while before saying, "I'm not convenient now, so I'll call you back later."

Uncle Qi smiled and said, "Is it by Hughes' side?"

"Huh?" Lewis was stunned for a moment, and said, "If there is nothing else, I'll hang up first."

After speaking, Lewis hung up the phone.Hughes, who was sitting across the table, smiled and asked, "Uncle Qi?"

"You are the smartest, and you have counted everything?" Lewis smiled helplessly.

Hughes said, "Lao Liu has been looking for you this afternoon, Uncle Seven will definitely not be able to sit still."

"Also..." Lewis thought for a while, then asked again, "He invited me to dinner tomorrow, do you think I should go?"

"What do you think?" Hughes looked at him gently as if encouraging Lewis to speak his mind, waiting for his answer.

Lewis thought for a while and said, "I don't think he has any good intentions. He shouldn't go, but..."

"But you think that's rude, don't you?" Hughes asked.

Lewis laughed twice: "Yes."

Hughes said, "It's very polite for you to refuse directly. If I were you, I would agree to him first. Then I would agree to do something else that day and let him hang out for three hours before telling him, I'm sorry, I can't go."

——My brother has such a bad personality.

Lewis smiled helplessly.

And Lewis, who always thought that his ideal partner was a "gentleman" type, finally realized that he really fell in love with this wicked guy.

Hughes went back to rest quickly, and he said that he could leave everything to Lewis, which made Lewis very worried.

When he got up the next day, Hughes went to the restaurant with a good mood, sniffed the burnt smell in the air, and said against his will: "It smells so good, who is cooking?"

Lewis' face turned yellow and said, "Why does my brother always get up so early?"

Sister Lianzi smiled and said, "That's right, your brother always gets up very early and sits there every day waiting for you to wake up before eating breakfast."

Lewis was startled, and said, "Is that so?"

Sister Lianzi patted Lewis on the shoulder, and smiled at Hughes: "Master, I don't admit defeat. I feel that I didn't play well yesterday, and today I'm fighting against the egg again!"

Hughes smiled and said, "Didn't you play well yesterday? I think it's pretty good." Then, Hughes glanced at the egg skin in the pot, and felt a little relieved—it wasn't as bad as yesterday.

In fact, Lewis has already fried three egg skins.This also explains why there is such a burnt smell in the air.

Sister Lianzi said, "Okay, let's fry another one."

"I think this is pretty good." Hughes defended Lewis, "Don't waste it."

"Waste? Isn't it just a few eggs?" Sister Lianzi said in a particularly "big family" tone, "Is the egg worth the money or the young master's stomach?"

Hughes said, "It's the young master's thoughts that are valuable."

Lewis' heart skipped a beat, and his cheeks were as hot as oil in a pan.

Sister Lianzi said angrily, "I've never seen such sticky brothers like you, like two sugar people."

With that said, Miss Lianzi put the egg skin made by Lewis on the plate and handed it to Hughes.Hughes praised while eating.Sister Lianzi couldn't listen anymore, so she said: "Isn't that right? Here." Then, Sister Lianzi handed Hughes a glass of water: "This water was made by the young master, maybe you can taste the sweetness. .”

"Xiaoyi's water?" Hughes took a sip, as if sipping wine, "It tastes a bit sweet."

Lewis was embarrassed to hear that, and continued to eat breakfast with his head down.

After breakfast, Lewis and Hughes went out together.When Hughes saw him dragging himself into the garage, he asked with a smile, "You're going to work with me again today? Then the driver brother will be unemployed?"

Lewis smiled and said, "Just for a while." Probably Lewis, like all men, planned to stop picking him up every day after chasing him.However, I don't know how long it will take...

Hughes smiled and said, "What's the matter with you in Huixin Street, you're going there early in the morning?"

"I'm planning to set up a store there," Lewis said with a sigh, "but we'll wait until the funds are in place."

After he sent Hughes to "Proud Eagle", he turned around and drove back to the perfume company.Lewis stayed there for a while, and then said to Shao Dangui, "I'm busy with things recently, so I'm asking you to do more here."

"It's okay, I know." Shao Dangui patted Lewis on the shoulder.Recently, the "Proud Eagle" family disputes have been raging all over the city. Of course, Shao Dangui has also heard about it. He knows that the Liu family is in troubled times, and Lewis is bothered.She smiled and said, "You solve your own problems first, and I'm watching over here."

Lewis shook his head and said, "This is a partnership between us. It's too unfair for you to handle it alone."

At this time, the assistant knocked on the door, walked in, and said, "Mr. Liu, Master Liu Qi is here to see you."

Lewis was stunned for half a second, then smiled and said, "Okay, let him come to my office."

It turned out that after dinner last night, Lewis had already called to decline Uncle Qi's invitation.Unexpectedly, Uncle Qi came to the door early this morning.

Under the leadership of his assistant, Uncle Seven walked into Lewis' office. Seeing that Lewis was sitting at the desk, fumbling with the computer, he smiled and said, "Lewis, are you busy? I didn't come at the right time. ?”

"No, how come?" Lewis smiled politely, "Please sit down."

"I know you don't really want to see me right now." Uncle Seven sat across the desk, looking at Lewis' expression, and said tentatively.

"No," Lewis laughed. "Why would you think that?"

Uncle Qi smiled and said, "Isn't this caused by the unhappiness we met last time?"

"Oh, the meeting was not pleasant last time, will this meeting be pleasant?" Lewis' words were rare and sharp, unlike his usual appearance, "Aren't you going to kick me out of the board of directors in two days?"

"Hahaha!" Uncle Qi was still a little unaccustomed to this well-behaved nephew and got angry, "No, your father told us that he wanted you to be the chairman. Actually, I have no objection to this... Everyone said that, after all, you are our nephew. If you are willing to vote to remove Hughes on the board of directors, we will all support you and support you as our new leader."

Lewis was a little surprised. He didn't expect Lao Liu to be so strong in action. He had already made sense of his uncles to let Lewis be the chairman of the board-provided that he turned his back on Hughes.

"Father has really worked hard." Lewis said with an ambiguous attitude, "Thank you for telling me the news."

Uncle Qi said: "But I don't think you will betray Hughes. Don't you have a good relationship with him? Would you betray him? I don't think it is possible."

Lewis didn't respond, just smiled: "Well, is there anything else? I still have a meeting to hold..."

Seventh Uncle looked at Lewis and saw that the smile on Lewis's face remained motionless, so he said, "Good boy, you've grown up. It seems that a day with Hughes is better than a year with your father."

After finishing speaking, Seventh Uncle exchanged greetings and left.As soon as Uncle Qi left, he called Lao Liu: "Hey, brother, I talked to your son. I think he still has his heart for Hughes..."

"That bastard Hughes...doesn't know what kind of soup he gave my son!" Old Liu was furious when he heard this, and only scolded Hughes.

Uncle Qi said again: "Isn't it? It's just that your son drinks the soup at Hughes every day, so I'm afraid it's unreliable!"

Lao Liu thought quietly: My son is unreliable?Then can you rely on it?You can pull it down!

However, Lao Liu did have a heart problem, that is, Lewis and Hughes got too close and were too deeply influenced by Hughes. "Hughes is definitely harboring evil intentions..." Lao Liu muttered to himself.

At noon, Lewis was welcomed into Lao Liu's house.Lewis came with stew, saying he was visiting Lao Liu.Old Liu remembered his role as a "liver cancer patient", and pretended to be weak to talk to Lewis, and said that he had vomited a little or two of blood last night.

When Lewis heard the words, he showed a sad look and said, "Oh, you are so weak?... Then I don't know how to say what I want to say..."

"Tell me," Old Liu looked at Lewis's face, "what? You don't want to reject my proposal, do you? You...you don't want to be the chairman anymore?"

"Yeah." Lewis nodded.

Old Liu was furious, and asked, "You... are you doing it for Hughes?"

"No, why do you think so?" Lewis said blankly, "It's not for this reason."

"Then, what's the reason?" Old Liu asked curiously.

"Today... Uncle Qi came to see me today." Lewis sighed and said, "Uncle Qi said that even if I become the chairman, I'm still cannon fodder. It's meaningless. My shareholding is only so small that it basically affects It’s nothing, it’s the ‘chairman’ in name, but it’s actually a signatory, and it can’t make any decisions, but if something happens, I’m the first to suffer. Especially the pitfalls owed by the Ainia project, it must be I filled it in. I think it makes sense..."

Old Liu was so angry that he was dying: "Lao Qi is a bastard, he told you that?"

"Well, yes." Lewis nodded.

"Lao Qi, this old bastard, actually told you that! He even told me..." Lao Liu thought about it carefully: Could it be that Lao Qi has a small plan in his heart, so he is playing tricks behind his back?On the one hand, he told me that Lewis is against Hughes, but on the other hand, he told Lewis that the chairman is cannon fodder... Has this old seven been too dishonest recently?By the way, speaking of it, the matter of the sixth child has nothing to do with him...

"What did Uncle Seven tell you?" Lewis seemed curious.

Lao Liu waved his hand and sighed: "Don't mention it!"

"Oh, then don't mention it. Don't be angry, it's not good for your health." Lewis blinked his amber eyes, looking innocent and innocent.

Compared with Uncle Qi's cunning and cunning appearance, no one would have thought that it was the gentle and harmless Lewis in front of him who was lying.
