"Young Mistress, someone outside said that a reporter from Shanghai News wanted to interview Master."

"Reporter? Sister-in-law Li, go to the study and tell Dad, Suwen, go and bring him in."

In the study, Grandpa Ye was reading today's newspaper. The newspaper published an interview with the second master Bai of the Bai family in Shanghai. The title was "White Wolf wants to cooperate with the richest man in Tianjin, Shanghai Beach will be divided into several families".

"Xiaohan, grandpa has taught you business skills these days, now I will test you to see what you can read from this newspaper?" Grandpa Ye gave Xiaohan the report about Second Master Bai, and asked with a smile .

Xiaohan carefully read every word and sentence carefully, and replied: "I think this second master Bai should mean to cooperate with grandpa. Because second master Bai has a high status in Shanghai Bund, it is difficult for ordinary newspapers to recruit him." , let alone speculate on these news, except of course the lace news, so this report should be written by Bai Erye.

In addition, I think he also intends to test several other Shanghai Bund. "

"You're right. There are a lot of powerful and powerful families in Shanghai now. There are Bai family, Lei family, Du family, Tong family, and the Li family that has gone downhill. Now there are more of us Ye In addition, there are businessmen from Japan, the United Kingdom and other countries. Shanghai Beach is only so big, and if everyone wants a share, there will be too much.

So the top priority is to join forces. The Bai family means to join forces with our Ye family and the local Lei family. "

"Lei's family?" Xiaohan looked at Grandpa suspiciously, but Grandpa smiled and said nothing, so she had to read the newspaper again, and she found the shadow of Lei's family in it. Bai's family wanted to cooperate with Ye's family to open a flour mill. In Shanghai, only Lei's family can get flour-making machines.

"Grandpa, I see, it's the flour mill, or you are the best." Xiaohan said admiringly, she saw the word "flour", but ignored the meaning behind them.

"Xiaohan is not bad, you have learned what I taught you very well. You can also think of Lei's family from flour, which proves that you have done all the homework I asked you to do." Grandpa Ye became more and more satisfied with Xiaohan, not only He's a quick learner, and he can draw inferences about other cases from one instance. He can feel relieved when the Ye family's future orders are handed over to her.

Xiaohan smiled shyly when she got the compliment, and decided in her heart that she must work harder in the future and never let grandpa down.She has to grow up quickly to share the burden on grandpa, so that grandpa can rest and take care of his body.

"Dong dong" knocking on the door interrupted the grandparents and grandchildren.

"Come in."

"Master, miss, there is a reporter outside who wants to interview the master, Madam asked me to ask what you mean."

"Reporter? Xiaohan, it seems that you will be able to go out in a few days. Let's go and see this reporter." Grandpa Ye smiled at Xiaohan meaningfully.

Xiaohan immediately understood that his grandfather was going to take the opportunity of this interview to let the Ye family take the first step, which also means that from now on, the Ye family will officially participate in the shopping mall competition in Shanghai, and the Ye family will not close their doors again. not out.

When Xiaohan and Grandpa went downstairs, Mother Ye was talking with a young man.Handsome, with a gentle temperament, he should be the reporter from the Shanghai newspaper.

Sheng Jiewen saw a girl with a charming face upstairs helping a very imposing old man downstairs.He also heard Young Mistress Ye who was sitting across from him say: "Dad, you guys are down, Xiao Han. This is Wen Xin, the editor-in-chief of the Shanghai newspaper."

At that moment, he understood that the old man was the one he wanted to interview, and the person next to him should be the daughter of the Ye family.

"Hi, Boss Ye, hello Miss Ye, I'm Sheng Jiewen, a reporter from the Shanghai News, and I want to interview Boss Ye, but I don't know if it's convenient for you now."

"Young people don't have to be restrained, sit down. I just have time now, so if you want to ask anything, just ask."

"Okay, thank you, Boss Ye."

***

Time passed while Grandpa Ye and Sheng Jiewen were asking and answering. The old man seemed very interested in the question raised by the young man. The two chatted for a long time, and finally Sheng Jiewen had nothing to ask before ending the interview.

"Boss Ye, thank you for your cooperation. Finally, I want to take a photo of your family. I wonder if it is possible."

"Okay, let's take a better picture of our Xiaohan." Grandpa Ye said jokingly.

From this joke, Sheng Jiewen could see Boss Ye's love and high hopes for this daughter of the Ye family.

Now that he understands the status of the daughter of the Ye family in the Ye family, he naturally knows how to reply, "That's for sure, Miss Ye is naturally beautiful, and I'm afraid that my photography skills will not be good enough."

It was the first time for Xiao Han to be praised by others, and she smiled embarrassedly, and cast a reproachful glance at the instigator's grandpa, "It's all my grandpa's fault" was clearly written in his little eyes.

Grandpa Ye didn't mean to blame her at all. Instead, he and Mother Ye smiled narrowly, and asked Xiaohan to stand between them.Xiaohan held one arm with the other, and shouted in Sheng Jiewen: "One, two, three." The three laughed happily together.

Sheng Jiewen behind the camera was attracted by Xiaohan's beautiful smile blooming like a rose flower and the sweet and happy feeling between the three of them, so he couldn't help but took many photos from several angles.After taking the photo, I realized that I was rude, and said embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, the beautiful family relationship between the three made me accidentally take a few more photos, and I broke my promise. But please rest assured, Boss Ye, after the photos are washed out, I just I will leave one and hand over the rest to you, as my reward for bothering you for so long today, do you think it’s okay?"

It's not a big deal, Grandpa Ye naturally didn't care about it, he waved his hand and said, "I don't care, just treat it as asking you to help us take a family portrait."

"Thank you, Boss Ye, I will take my leave first."

When he was about to leave, Xiaohan asked: "Mr. Sheng, I would like to ask when the photos will be available?" She really wanted to see the photos of their family now.

"Two days later." Sheng Jiewen said.I was a little surprised that this daughter of the Ye family spoke with a Shanghai accent.

***

Sheng Jiewen's interview was published in the newspaper the next day. The report not only included the Ye family's cooperation with the Bai family, but also the future development of the Ye family, as well as their views on the situation in Shanghai. A photo of a family of three.

Everyone in Shanghai knew about the Ye family, the richest man in Tianjin, overnight.

Immediately afterwards, the Lei family also issued a statement, claiming that Lei, Bai, and Ye would soon cooperate to open a flour mill. There was also a photo of the three bosses standing side by side in the report.

The previous report from the Ye family only caused a small splash, but the report from the Lei family later caused a huge wave.

With the Bai and Lei families in front, the Du family and Tong family who were watching from behind, especially the Li family who was facing bankruptcy, all wanted to cooperate with the Ye family with strong financial resources, and the Ye family received invitations from various families.

Grandpa Ye declined all the invitations to Grandpa Ye.The most important thing for the Ye family now is to fight steadily and steadily, so that they can't become a fat man in one sitting.

The invitations sent to the Ye family's mother and daughter were all accepted.

Madam diplomacy is indispensable in shopping malls. It can not only inquire about various news, but also expand contacts and develop social circles.

So in the next few days, Mother Ye and Xiaohan were busy with the banquets of various families.

The news about the Ye family in Shanghai lasted for many days until another news came.

The newly appointed guardian envoy of Shanghai Bund is about to arrive in Shanghai, and the place to welcome the guardian envoy is Mrs. Jin's golden house.

The author has something to say: there is no change today, try to add chapters tomorrow.

Minor repairs, the content does not affect

☆, meet ([-])

"Dad, you just go to the banquet to welcome Shen Zhipei, why bring Xiaohan along, it's always bad to go to a daughter's house in such a place." Mother Ye said.

She really didn't understand how Dad would take Xiaohan to a place like Jinwu, which was just a high-end brothel in fact.The same is that men spend money to find women, the only difference is that the women in the golden house are all high-priced goods, and no family property of tens of thousands of oceans is allowed to enter.

"I know it's not a place for serious people to go, but I have my plan. Xiaohan will take over the Ye family's business in the future, and to be a competent patriarch must understand these places. Who can guarantee that the opponents she meets in the future or Partners would not choose such a place for negotiation. The Golden House is always cleaner than other places, and I heard that apart from the heads of each family, almost all the juniors of the family went there this time.

Lei Ziqian, the son of the Lei family, Du Yuntang, the son of the Du family, Li Xuemei, the second daughter of the Li family, and Tong Yuwan, the eldest daughter of the Tong family.These juniors are the legitimate children of the family, the future heirs.

Xiaohan, as the heir of our Ye family, should attend together, otherwise how can she hold her head up in the future banquet. "

Grandpa Ye patiently explained to Qinlan that Qinlan loves her daughter, why doesn't he love his granddaughter.He couldn't let his love hurt Xiaohan, so even if he knew it was not suitable for girls to attend such a banquet, he still had to take her to a vague hint of Xiaohan's identity.

"Dad, you want Xiaohan to be the heir? Is it true, Dad?" Mother Ye asked excitedly.

"I thought it was obvious what I usually do. If I didn't have such an idea, why should I teach her the things in the mall, why should I make her memorize the friendships of various forces in Shanghai, and why should I let her be with me Attend the banquet."

"Dad, I thought that getting you to agree with Xiaohan to be a member of the Ye family was already the limit. I didn't expect that you would still be willing to hand over the Ye family to her. It's because I treat the heart of a gentleman with the heart of a villain." Mother Ye said in shame.

"You're just thinking too much, since Xiaohan is already surnamed Ye, then she has a share in the property of the Ye family, otherwise why should I bother to change her surname.

Now there is no news about Xin'er, and I don't know if I will see her return to Ye's house before I die.Even if she returns to the Ye family, whether her aptitude is comparable to Xiao Han's and whether she can take on the great responsibility of the Ye family is unknown.

If Xin'er really came back before I was alive, I will love her dearly, and I will give her the family property that is due to her, but if she is not capable of being the head of the Ye family, then I will not take the Ye family for several generations. The accumulation is a joke. "

"Then if Xin'er is equally talented, on par with Xiaohan, or even better than Xiaohan, how will Dad make a decision then?" Mama Ye asked worriedly.The palms and backs of the hands are full of flesh, she doesn't want to see the day when the sisters turn against each other.

"Qinlan, we have to trust Xiaohan. Xiaohan's aptitude is much higher than mine back then, and there are very few people who can surpass me. The most important thing is that apart from aptitude, she also works hard and has excellent judgment. Strong and sharp enough, she is the best heir in my mind.

If Xin'er is better than her, then I can only divide the family property into two shares and let each of them get one share.If both of them are really outstanding, then even if the family property is divided, the future prosperity of the Ye family will be far better than today.

If they are not satisfied with the other person taking half of the property and insist on taking it all by themselves, then I have no choice but to donate all the property.Out of sight, out of sight, such things as sisters becoming enemies, I will never let it happen in the Ye family! "

"It turns out that Dad has already made plans. If you had told me this earlier, what would I worry about?" So Mother Ye finally let go of the big stone in her heart.

"Okay, now that you don't have to worry about it, why don't you hurry up and help Xiaohan dress up, the daughter of our Ye family will definitely be better than Tong and Li's."

"Hey, I'm going now." Ye's mother happily dressed her daughter up, so that she would be worthy of being the heir of the Ye family.

***

Xiaohan was cleaned up by her mother for two hours before she was allowed to go out to the banquet.After seeing her outfit, she couldn't help complaining to her grandfather.

"Grandpa, is this really okay? Will it be too high-profile."

Grandpa Ye looked at his granddaughter's attire very seriously, and commented with a man's eyes: "Where it is high-profile, noble elegance and low-key luxury, combined with my granddaughter's beautiful appearance, it is not out of the ordinary. Very good."

"But I don't think such a grand attire is needed just to welcome the new guard." Thinking that the new guard was the man who hugged her on the street that day, she was even more reluctant to dress up.rude man!

"Silly girl, today's banquet is attended by the most powerful business leaders in Shanghai, including the heirs of these families, and you, as the heir of our Ye family, naturally cannot be left behind.

Now, do you still feel that the real body is high-profile? "

"Grandpa, you want me to be the heir?" Xiaohan was shocked, did grandpa value her so much.

"It's still fake, it's true."

"Grandpa, I will definitely be a qualified heir, please rest assured." After receiving an affirmative answer, Xiaohan's heart was ablaze, and she must live up to her grandfather's expectations to prove to him that his decision was right.

"Haha, well, it is necessary to have such self-confidence. Grandpa believes in you."

***

The Golden House is a veritable Golden House, and everywhere it goes is magnificent, no wonder men love to come here to do business.It can not only show its own strength, but also hug left and right.

Mrs. Jin is a famous lady who still has charm, and her gestures are full of charm.

Xiaohan saw her chatting and laughing among the bosses, not ignoring anyone, and she played both ways.

Resisting the worry in my heart, I stayed inside for a while, but I couldn't stand the atmosphere inside, so I greeted my grandfather and left the banquet hall.

"Xiaohan wait for me."

"Xuemei, you came out too?" When Xiao Han saw that it was Li Xuemei who came, the gloom in her heart disappeared a lot. Xuemei was the only two friends she and her mother made at various wives' banquets, and the other one was Tong Yuwan .

"I was so bored inside, and when I saw you came out, I wanted to be with you."

"Me too. My grandfather said he wanted me to come and see, but I'm very uncomfortable inside. Or, let's go upstairs and have a look."

"Okay, there shouldn't be so many people upstairs."

Xiaohan and Li Xuemei went upstairs arm in arm.

"Xuemei, how is your eldest brother's studies going? Is he still planning to go abroad?" Xiaohan knew that Li Xuemei had an older brother who was a musical genius, so he asked this question.

"My brother received a notice from the Vienna Conservatory of Music, but my mother doesn't want him to continue his studies. You know my family's situation. It can't sustain the high tuition fees of our brother and sister. So I plan to drop out of school and let my brother study abroad."

Xiaohan is worried about Xuemei's situation. The pillar of her family has passed away, leaving only orphans and widows. Although she has an older brother, his older brother is obsessed with music and cannot support the buildings of the Li family. Therefore, since Xuemei's father passed away, , when the Li family saw the sunset, it was about to close down.

Thinking about Xuemei's life in the future, Xiaohan was worried for her, so he spoke out what he had been thinking for many days.

"Xuemei, actually, I think it's not bad for you to drop out of school. No matter how many books a woman in this world reads, it just adds to her good reputation. It's good to hear, but it's not useful. The most important thing is money. It's something that can live on. .

You see, I didn't go to school. If you really drop out of school, we can open our own shop or something to practice. Not only can we earn some pocket money, but we can also accumulate experience.In the future, taking over the family business will not only know how to talk on paper.what do you think? "

"However, our family should be inherited by my brother. He is the only man in our family." Xuemei shook her head and said that she appreciates Xiaohan's kindness, but the family business belongs to her brother.

Xiaohan said indifferently: "Your brother is busy with his music every day, so he has no time to manage the company, even if your company belongs to him. You have to plan for your future. When you get married, you have to help your husband Even if you don’t get married, you have to support yourself. It’s good for the two of us to open a small shop with pocket money and make money. We can understand the way without making money. It’s better to suffer early than late A lot, isn't it?"

Xiaohan felt that Xuemei was too kind and had a sense of justice.If it were her, it would be for the family and for herself, and she would not let the family's career fall on her elder brother who only knows how to play music.

"Well, anyway, you plan to drop out of school. If you don't go to school, you have nothing to do at home. Why don't you just come to help me. After the store opens, I can't make money and pay wages immediately. Why don't I give you shares and take How about dividends?"

"Xiaohan, how can I thank you if you want me like this." Li Xuemei said movedly, she knew that Xiaohan was helping her, otherwise, given how much Boss Ye loved her, she could just give her a branch company to practice, why bother Zhou Zhang's own shop.

She knew something about the fact that her construction company was struggling to make ends meet, and she was secretly anxious, but there was nothing she could do.If she works with Xiaohan, she can earn some money to support the family. She believes in Xiaohan's ability.

"So you agreed. That's good, let's start to calculate the business of the store tomorrow, how about it?"

"Okay, I will go to see you tomorrow after I go through the dropout procedures." Li Xuemei looked at Xiaohan's full of energy, and seemed to have motivation all over her body, seeing the dawn of the future.Maybe this family can survive without a father.

Seeing Li Xuemei's radiant cheeks, Xiaohan breathed a sigh of relief. She was worried about her friend's situation, especially worried that she would not recover from a setback. Now that she is fine, she can cheer up when she has motivation. Even if she can't cross the threshold, she can try hard .

People living in this world can't rely on God to save you from the abyss, they can only save themselves.

"Hey, Xiaohan, look below, General Shen is here." Li Xuemei pointed to the man in military uniform downstairs and said.

"Are we going down?" Li Xuemei asked uncertainly.She didn't know it herself, since she became friends with Xiaohan, she always got used to relying on her and listening to her advice.

"Come on, it's not good for us to sneak out of the banquet hall, now it's as if we are deliberately waiting for the general to come by chance, it's not good." And Xiao Han felt that the general was so weird that he even made a move Legs, it really is a military ruffian, wearing a soldier's skin, he is actually a hooligan.

"Okay then, we'll just wait here and wait for them to go in. By the way, should we tell Tong Yuwan about the two of us opening the store, and see if she wants to join in." Li Xuemei remembered that she was still working as a lecturer in the banquet hall Tong Yuwan asked because of that.

"Talk to Yuwan, but I don't think she will be with us anymore. Mrs. Tong doesn't seem to like Yuwan in public."

When Xiaohan had the idea of ​​opening a shop, he also considered Tong Yuwan, but when he attended banquets with his mother a few times, he got to know Madam Tong.Now that times have changed, she still cannot accept too many open minds.Mrs. Tong probably disagrees with such a matter of letting Yuwan go into business.

"Xiaohan, the general and the others have all gone in, let's go downstairs too."

"Hey, good." Xiaohan stopped thinking about Mrs. Tong and went downstairs with Xuemei.

Suddenly a woman ran up from downstairs, too fast, and bumped into Li Xuemei.

"Ouch."

Li Xuemei's body was slammed into the handrail beside her, and she heard a sound of bones in her right arm, and because she couldn't dodge in time, her high-heeled shoes tilted and her feet twisted.

"How are you Xuemei, where are you hurt?" Xiaohan worriedly supported Li Xuemei.

"Du Xiaohan!" Min Ru looked back after hitting someone, which made her see an old friend.

"You have misunderstood the person. I am Ye Han, not Du Xiaohan." Xiaohan said to the woman who hit someone angrily.

"Ye Han? Didn't you say your name is Du Xiaohan? You don't remember me? You saved me that night." Min Ru was still talking there.

Xiaohan didn't want to talk to this person, what happened this night and that night, he didn't apologize for bumping into someone.Seeing that Xuemei's painful forehead was covered with cold sweat, Xiaohan helped her go downstairs to find a doctor.

"Hey, don't go down, it's dangerous downstairs." Seeing Xiaohan going downstairs, Min Ru stopped her and said.

At this time, a gunshot rang out, and then there were gunshots one after another. Xiaohan was terrified when he thought that his grandfather was still inside.

"Xuemei, don't go down here, I'm going to see grandpa, don't go downstairs." After saying that, Xiaohan ran downstairs.

Grandpa must be fine!

Xiao Han ran quickly, and Min Ru didn't come to hold her in a hurry, watching her disappearing figure.With a stomp, he ran towards another exit of the golden house.

Today's situation is critical, she didn't expect that Shen Zhipei had been prepared for a long time, the assassination was exposed, she had to run away quickly, otherwise she would definitely die if she was caught.Du Xiaohan's favor can only be reported next time.

Li Xuemei also heard the gunshots downstairs, but her feet hurt so badly that she couldn't walk, and her arm was broken, and it hurt her heart to move.I can only watch Xiaohan run to the banquet hall alone.

At this time, a figure hung over Li Xuemei's head, and asked with concern: "Do you need help?"

"Master Du! I'm fine, thank you, there are gunshots downstairs, you should go."

"I'm a dignified man, how can I let a weak woman stay in such a dangerous place alone." Du Yuntang hugged Li Xuemei by the waist, "I'll take you to a safe place first, and then go to see the situation downstairs. Don't worry, with General Shen's men around, nothing big will happen inside. Your friend should be fine too."

After hearing what he said, Li Xuemei, who was still struggling, gave up struggling. It was because she was inconvenient to move and couldn't help others.

Seeing that Li Xuemei didn't move anymore, Du Yuntang's mouth curled up. The girl is still more obedient and cute.Just now when Li Xuemei and Ye Han were talking upstairs, he was not far away, so seeing the injured Li Xuemei here alone, thinking that the two families are still related by marriage, he came to be a good person.

The author has something to say: Li Xuemei’s sister Li Xuezhu married Du Yuntang’s brother-in-law Du Yunwei (er, Tudou should remember his name correctly...)
