Splendid in bag

Old Liu sighed: "To be honest, I'm already near the end of my life. Even if I give you all the shares, what does it matter?"

Lewis could hardly believe his ears. He didn't expect Lao Liu to mention this by himself.To be honest, Lewis was planning to pretend to be pitiful and swindle shares from Lao Liu, but he hadn't thought of how to open his mouth.He was afraid that if he said it too clearly, it would make Lao Liu suspicious, and he was afraid that if he didn't make it obvious enough, Lao Liu would not pick up on it.Unexpectedly, Lao Liu spoke up by himself, and there was a lot of intention to decentralize power in his words.

However, Lao Liu changed the subject and said again: "However, I am still worried. I am afraid that you will be deceived!"

Hearing Lao Liu's "but", Lewis was a little disappointed, knowing that Lao Liu refused to delegate power.But at the same time, Lewis felt strangely at ease—after all, Lao Liu really offered to give away the stock, which would make Lewis feel strange, and it is more in line with common sense that he refuses to let go now.

"Being deceived?" Lewis pondered for a while, then said, "Who are you referring to?"

Old Liu let out a snort, "Who else could it be?"

"Oh," Lewis said after a long silence, "do you mean Hughes?"

"Of course it's him!" Speaking of Hughes, Lao Liu became angry, and his tone became bad, "Why do you still live with him? Let alone uncles, even I look suspicious .If you are sincerely filial to me, you should move back as soon as possible. We also have a caretaker, don't we?"

"Well, okay." Lewis nodded and said, "Then I'll move back."

Old Liu was taken aback, he didn't expect Lewis to agree so easily: "Really?"

"Of course." Lewis nodded. "Actually, I'm not getting along well with him now. I always feel that he is planning something in his heart, which is scary."

Old Liu nodded with satisfaction: "Oh, my son! You finally understand! Hughes is full of bad things, don't get too close to him, you will cause trouble!"

Lewis talked with Lao Liu for a few words, and then said that he would go back to deal with the moving.

Today, Lewis drove to the downstairs of the "Proud Eagle" building on time and picked up Hughes.Hughes got into the passenger seat, and seeing Lewis's complexion, he asked with concern, "What's wrong?"

Lewis replied in a deep voice, "I promised my father to live with him."

"Huh?" Hughes was quite surprised, "Why?"

"Of course it's for his trust!" Lewis said as a matter of course, "Think about it, if I've been living with you, how could he trust me and give me equity?"

Hughes nodded and said, "That's a good point."

With that said, Hughes asked again: "Then when are you leaving?"

Lewis sighed: "Leave tomorrow morning."

Hughes said: "I suggest you, you can tell him that you are undercover on my side and find my fault. Then you can continue to stay by my side."

Lewis smiled: "Undercover? You're lying to children! Thank you for thinking it out!"

Hughes said, "Isn't it because I miss you?"

When Lewis heard this, a faint red cloud floated in his ears.

After driving back home, Lewis had dinner and started to pack his bags. He didn't bring much.He originally thought that he would only stay in the old house for a while, and he would return to his brother after all.It was Hughes who directed Sister Lianzi to pack Lewis's luggage to the brim.

Lewis couldn't help laughing, and said, "How much do you want me to pack up and leave?"

Hughes smiled and said, "Aren't you afraid that you might not be used to living there?"

Lewis said, "I've lived there for so many years, why am I not used to it?"

Hughes said, "Oh? I don't think you're used to it after being there for so many years, otherwise why would you go out all day?"

Lewis was speechless when he heard the words.Indeed, he used to run out all day long and didn't like to stay at home. Instead, he lived with Hughes, but he began to love home.

It's just that, in Liu's house, Lewis didn't love his family, and often flew away, and Lao Liu didn't try to keep him.When he came back to settle down, Lao Liu would not offer condolences.The situation is quite different now. When Lewis returned to Liu's residence, Old Liu wished he could roll out the red carpet to welcome him. His hospitality was a little too much, which made Lewis feel a little uncomfortable.

Lewis still pretended to be a filial son and served Lao Liu's bedside, and Lao Liu also had to pretend to be sick. It was very hard for the father and son to act every day.

However, Lao Liu mentioned it again: "The board of directors will be held tomorrow... Have you decided to be the chairman yet?"

Lewis smiled lightly: "I'm 'unworthy of virtue'. It's better for father to come."

Old Liu sighed silently, took out a share transfer agreement from the drawer, and handed it to Lewis: "I only have you as my son, and my time is approaching. If I don't give it to you, who will I give it to?"

The equity transfer agreement was written in black and white, and Lao Liu's words were also true, which made Lewis' nose sore.

Lewis couldn't help being uneasy, feeling that he had really cheated the old man.My father is already old, and these shares are his most important property. He is like an unfilial son who lied to his father about his "coffin book"!

Lewis hesitated, and only said: "The equity is given to me, what can you do?"

These words are sincere and sincere.

As Hughes expected, only Lewis could fool Old Liu.Because Lewis's "cheat" has "true feelings" in it.

Lao Liu touched Lewis' cheek with a smile, and said, "Only you care about this. If it's someone else, I might be so happy!"

"Father..." Lewis choked up.

Old Liu said: "But don't worry, how can I only have these properties? The real estate alone is enough for me to live for eight lifetimes."

When Lewis thought about it, he felt the same.There are countless real estate properties under Lao Liu's own name. There are dozens of houses alone, not to mention the cash account deposits and funds in the bank.Where did Lewis eat Lao Liu's "coffin book"?

In other words, what most people save is to buy coffins, but what Lao Liu saves is pyramids!

Lewis smiled and said, "That's true, then I'll take it."

"It's for you after all." Old Liu said, "You can be the chairman with peace of mind, and I will support you!"

After the two went to the lawyer's office to go through all the formalities, Lao Liu looked at Lewis with tears in his eyes, sighed, and said, "It's up to you from now on!"

Lewis looked at the vicissitudes in Lao Liu's eyes, and felt moved in his heart, and felt that Lao Liu's saying that "the end of life is approaching" seemed to be true.Old Liu always wanted to entrust everything to Lewis.

After leaving the law firm, Lewis made an excuse to go back to work at the company, locked himself in the car alone, and called Hughes.

"What's the matter?" Hughes' voice sounded, "Is there any good news?"

Lewis sighed slightly, and said, "The procedures for equity transfer have been completed."

"Then congratulations," Hughes sounded calm, as if he had expected it early in the morning, "you are now the largest shareholder of the group."

Lewis, however, seemed to be stepping on cotton, unsteady, and sighed: "Alas..."

"You're relenting, aren't you?" Hughes asked.

"Yes." Lewis agreed vaguely.

But Hughes said: "Think about how Lao Liu treated you before! Sneering and sarcastic, trampled you like mud in the ground, and never considered giving you any good things. Treating you well now? Can it be true? It's just He's just desperate."

Lewis knew in his heart that Lao Liu treated him so well because he had no other son to entrust him with. "But..." Lewis could not be cruel, "he is my father after all."

"That's not bad." Hughes nodded and said, "If you feel that you can't do it, you can stop."

"stop?"

"of course."

"How to stop?"

Hughes replied lightly: "You can return the equity, tell him the truth, and say that you lied to him. Although he will be disappointed and angry, at least you are honest."

Lewis froze in place for a while, but said, "How is this possible?"

"why not?"

"If I do this," Lewis said anxiously, "what will you do?"

Hughes smiled: "You would rather fail your father than fail me, wouldn't you?"

Lewis was stunned for a while, nodded slightly, and said helplessly, "Yes."

"Yes" - two simple words, more beautiful than any music.

Hughes smiled happily: "Thank you, Xiao Yi."

Lewis's heart was pounding, and the agreement was saved in his hand, and he found that the agreement had been crumpled because of being too nervous.He hurriedly smoothed out the wrinkles of the agreement, and said, "Then...how do I need to vote at the board meeting?"

"Vote me out." Hughes said bluntly, "Didn't it be agreed to let you be the chairman?"

"No!" Lewis almost jumped up, "How can it be?"

"Let's do this first." Hughes said in a soothing tone, "Even if we get Lao Liu's shares now, we haven't got enough shares to achieve absolute control. Until then, I'd better hide my strength and bide my time."

"How much more?" Lewis asked.

Hughes replied: "It needs another 15% to 20%. I hope to get at least 67% of the equity."

"Then..." That was really under absolute control.

What Hughes wants to do is not the chairman who influences the group's decision-making, but what he wants to do is the absolute controller who says nothing.

"So..." Lewis hesitated.

"What's the matter?" Hughes asked.

Originally, Lewis thought that he could go home with Hughes after getting the equity, but now it seems that he can't.Then his plan...

Do you still want to proceed as before?

"Tell me," Hughes said in an encouraging tone, although he didn't know what Lewis was going to do, "Talk to brother if you have anything."

Hughes' tone was so lingering that Lewis couldn't feel his heart beating faster.

"Are you free tonight?" Lewis said. "I want to have dinner with you."

"Oh?"

"Well, the seat has been reserved." Lewis said with some confusion, "I was supposed to celebrate getting the equity. But it seems that this did not achieve your goal. It is not particularly worthy of congratulations."

"No, it's great. It's especially worthy of congratulations." Fearing that Lewis would be discouraged, Hughes smiled quickly, "I'm very happy to get this 15%. Thank you so much."

"Then I'll pick you up," Lewis said.

"This won't work." Hughes said, "We can't let the people in the group see that we have a friendly relationship. After all, you want to 'betray' me, so we should 'turn against each other', how can we get off work?"

"Oh, yes..." Lewis nodded, "Then let me block you on social accounts first."

"..."

Because the other party was blocked on the social account, Lewis had no way to send a message to the other party, so he had to send a text message in the traditional way, telling Hughes the address for dinner.

Lewis was also glad that he didn't choose a restaurant he frequented for dinner, otherwise, they wouldn't be able to go either.There are many acquaintances in those restaurants. If someone recognizes the two of them, they will know that the two of them have not "turned against each other".

Hughes arrived at the pier according to the instructions of the text message.

He thought Lewis had booked a restaurant near the pier, but unexpectedly, Lewis had booked a boat.

After Hughes stepped on the board, the waiter in a tuxedo led him into the cabin.

As soon as he entered the cabin, Hughes smelled a delicate aroma, which was cold and sweet.

"What is this?" Hughes sniffed.

"This is a new perfume developed by my company, called 'Moonlight Swimming Pool'." Lewis' voice sounded behind Hughes.

Hughes turned around, and saw Lewis wearing a well-fitting suit, looking at him with a smile.

"That's bound to be a hit," Hughes said.

Lewis smiled, asked Hughes to sit down at the dining table in the center of the cabin, and pulled out the chair for Hughes.As a man, it was the first time Hughes was treated like this, and he couldn't help laughing: "You are too courteous?... Showing courteousness for nothing!"

Lewis laughed and said, "Am I either rape or steal?"

Hughes smiled lightly and said, "No matter which one it is, I'm not afraid."

Lewis was ashamed himself first, and replied: "No matter which one, I can't do it."

Hughes sneered.

The waiter in the tuxedo came to serve wine for the two of them, and after he left, the violin played elegantly in the box.

The boat was floating on the waves, the music was spinning in the air, and the candlelight was flickering in the eyes of the two.

Lewis sipped a glass of wine, and just tasted the smell of wine on the tip of his tongue, before swallowing it down his throat, his face was already blushing.

Hughes sips too, but his eyes are on Lewis's face.

Lewis coughed twice, raised his eyes and looked at Hughes. He had clearly prepared the draft in his heart, but now his tongue was tied up, unable to utter a single beautiful word, and he looked at Hughes anxiously.

Hughes put down his wine glass, probably due to poor Lewis's sudden "aphasia", and asked gently: "Do you have anything to say to brother?"

Lewis cleared his throat, but said, "Didn't I say before that I have someone I like?"

"Yeah." Hughes nodded, trying to make himself look calm, but the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up, like a fox.

Lewis folded his hands in front of him, looking a little cramped, but in Hughes' eyes, he was quite cute.

"Then..." Lewis looked at Hughes and said, "You should know who that person is?"
