Never Meeting Again In Our Next Life

Facing Xia Liang's straightforward refusal, Ying Mohua didn't get angry, but just said with a low smile, "Mr. Xia is too self-effacing. However, I'm also to blame for being impatient and presumptuous. Let's forget it this time. Later... We have a lot of opportunities to meet." The tone was very firm, as if everything had been won.

Zhou Shuo listened attentively to Xia Liang's phone call. After the other party hung up the phone, he asked, "Brother Liang, this Ying Mohua...do you know him?"

"About ten years ago, we met once." Xia Liang tried hard to recall, "I was still in college at that time, and during the summer vacation, I went to my father's branch in the United States for an internship. Once I Dad was invited by a friend and took me to their reception, where I met Morton, who is now Ying Mohua."

"You... have a good conversation?" Zhou Shuo asked tentatively.

"That's right. At that time, I didn't know his background and identity. Because of the similar age, we chatted a few words and found that we had the same perception in some aspects. In addition, he was the only one in the reception—one with a bit of Chinese. People of ancestry speak fluent Chinese, so they naturally feel closer.”

The more Zhou Shuo listened, the less he liked it. Now, no matter how hard he studies, it is difficult for him to catch up to Xia Liang's level of consciousness, but Ying Mohua did it easily ten years ago, or in other words , he is a higher level existence than Xia Liang, I am afraid that Zhou Shuo will find it difficult to match, let alone surpass in his entire life.

Although he was very uncomfortable, Zhou Shuo forced himself to continue asking, "Then... why didn't you keep in touch?"

"We originally exchanged contact information." Xia Liang's words made Zhou Shuo's heart feel cold for a moment, but the next sentence dragged him back from hell, "But the night I got home, I deleted the contact information." his contact information."

"why?"

"As I said, I didn't know his background and identity at the time. He only told me his first name and didn't even mention his last name. He must have reserved me. I'm not stupid, except for exchanging my name. , and did not reveal too much information. But because I was a little curious about him, I went home that night and found out his real identity on the Internet."

Zhou Shuo was a little surprised: "Was he so famous back then, that he could be found online?"

"I just wanted to try my luck." Xia Liang said, "Because when I was talking to him, I found that the brooch on his suit was ruby ​​red——I found out before I followed my father into the venue. When some invited guests handed over their invitations, the hostess would respectfully present them with a ruby ​​brooch. Their invitations were of a different color from ours, and they were treated very differently.

"So when I saw his brooch, I vaguely guessed that his status might be a bit unusual, but I didn't expect that he would be the third heir of the Nelson family, and the support he received from the family The speed should not be underestimated. I realized that I might have provoked someone who shouldn’t be provoked, so I immediately went to discuss the matter with my dad. Dad’s thoughts were the same as mine. He confirmed that I had disclosed my name and phone number. In addition, without revealing too much information, he suggested that I change my mobile phone number and stop contacting him."

Zhou Shuo was a little confused: "But why, his background is so big, if you can climb into their family."

Xia Liang laughed: "I don't know if you have heard of it, but in the cooperative business circle, there is also a saying that the family is right."

Zhou Shuo shook his head.

"It's like our family and the Song family," Xia Liang patiently explained, "Both of our grandparents started from scratch, and the accumulated family business is only three generations. In the eyes of ordinary people, this is considered a good foundation, but in the eyes of those In the eyes of the chaebols that can be traced back more than a dozen or even dozens of generations, our new family businesses are as fragile as ants."

Zhou Shuo suddenly said, "So we and the Song family are well-matched in the so-called business district."

"That's right," Xia Liang nodded, "Cooperation in business circles is not only about foundation, but also fate. Xia and Song have cooperated several times when they were grandfathers, and their friendship has always been good, so Even though the relationship between Song Yan and Xiao Lin is controversial, there is still room for change.

"But just imagine, if one of them is a wealthy family like Nelson, then the status of the two cannot be equal, nor can there be a situation of cooperation and mutual benefit. Under such a background, if two young lovers disregard The elders objected to insisting on being together, and it would only end in tragedy. Apart from marriage and love, it is also the same for business cooperation. At the beginning, my father asked me to cut off contact with Morton as soon as possible, because he was afraid that the supporters behind Morton would mess up Suspicion, thinking that this is an encounter with impure motives, and then guard against us and even hostile."

Zhou Shuo was puzzled and said, "For a big family like Nelson, there should be quite a few people who want to attach themselves to them, right?"

"It's quite a lot, but it also depends on whether it's useful to them." Xia Liang smiled helplessly, "I said before that a family with a shallow background like ours is not worth mentioning in their eyes. There is no need to bother to solicit. If the other party doesn’t like it, and we want to send it to our door, then there can only be two results-one or, it will be used as a chess piece when you want to use it, and if you don’t want to use it, just use it. Leave it far away; or, it will be treated as cannon fodder and thrown away when it is used up. Although our Xia family has a shallow background, we still have some Chinese backbones, so there is no need to automatically send them to our door to suffer this useless attitude."

Zhou Shuo asked again: "But what you said just now is to weigh the gains and losses from the perspective of the family. As for you personally, since you and Morton had a good conversation, you just broke contact. In your heart... do you feel reluctant?" ?”

Xia Liang looked at Zhou Shuo with a funny look: "What is there to be reluctant to part with? In a place like a reception, there are too many people who pretend to be false. Even if you meet one or two who can talk, who knows what the other party is thinking?" Yes, you can take out your sincerity casually?

"What's more, after that reception, my vacation was over, and I happened to replace the mobile phone I bought temporarily in the United States. There were only a few numbers stored in the card, and it didn't have much impact on me. If Ying Mohua hadn't appeared this time, I would have almost forgotten what happened ten years ago."

Zhou Shuo felt completely at ease when he heard it, but he said, "You have completely forgotten him, but he still seems to never forget you."

When Xia Liangjing mentioned it, he seemed to be a little concerned, and murmured: "I really didn't expect that he would return to the country first to take over the mother's business. It seems... the struggle within their family over the right of inheritance has gradually surfaced. The water surfaced.What is the purpose of him finding me at this time and showing his favor to me so much? "

Zhou Shuo thought for a while, and volunteered: "Brother Liang, do you want me..."

Xia Liang waved her hand: "It's better to be more cautious. Don't act rashly until you understand the purpose of the other party's visit. For the next period of time, we will do nothing and just wait and see."
