Chapter 722

Taiwan Island.

Yangming Mountain, mid levels.

The birthday party has ended. In the Chen villa, Filipino maids and workers are cleaning. Some of the Chen children have left, while others gather in the backyard to talk and laugh.

In the study.

Mai Xiaoyu has left, leaving only the Chen family and his son.

The old man leaned on the sofa with his eyes closed and played with a stone in his hand.

That's the stone that Mai Xiaoyu put on the chessboard last. It's as big as the one engraved with the word "Chen", but it's very smooth and not engraved.

The three brothers of the Chen family surrounded the chessboard and stared at the situation on the chessboard. Flashing eyes showed inner shock.

Mai Xiaoyu started from scratch only a few years ago. Meng people's business has sprung up and created a broad sky. It's needless to say his ability.

From the perspective of enterprise operation ability alone, Xia Luofeng, one of the best in the second generation of Hong Kong and Taiwan, is also comparable to Mai Xiaoyu. Moreover, Xia Luofeng also has a family advantage and won a big step on the starting line of life.

But look at the position of the pieces on the chessboard.

I don't know. I'm scared.

In recent years, in the seemingly unreasonable "mad dog" random bite of Mai Xiaoyu, he unconsciously formed a relationship network centered on Meng... He started from scratch and had no background!

This idea, this city, this vision, this layout, this means... They can't help but be shocked.

What shocked them even more was Mai Xiaoyu's response tonight.

With the relevant information from the secret investigation, the rich experience and the decades old sharpness and smell, the old man came to comb the chess game, and showdown with Mai Xiao Yu tonight.

Mai Xiaoyu also prepared stones and picked them up from the Chen family's backyard tonight. After some arrangement, they coincided with the old man's chess game

Coincidence?

Successful businessmen never believe in coincidence.

After eliminating the coincidence, there is only one explanation - Mai Xiaoyu wants to have a showdown with the old man in the same way tonight.

The two person as like as two peas!

Can he keep up with the old man's mode of thinking?

Or did he expect the old man to have a showdown in this way?

How old is he!

Among the three brothers, Chen Xiangxi jumped slightly.

His eyes fell on the piece that had not been opened. After a moment of meditation, he would open it to see if it was really as Mai Xiaoyu said. There was not a word below.

"Old three!"

Chen Xiangdong knocked his hand off.

It's not that Chen Xiangdong doesn't want to see it, but that his family has strict rules.

When he heard the news, the old man opened his eyes and sighed, "it's great. Today's young people are great. It's an eye opener for me tonight."

"Father, aren't you angry?"

"Angry? Why am I angry when he gave me such a big birthday gift?"

What Chen Nan cares about is his daughter Chen Qiaoen's marriage: "father, Jon and his affairs..."

"Forget it, let the young people decide their own affairs. There's no need to force them. Moreover, if his rather inflexible temperament is compromised, I should be suspicious."

Chen Xiangxi glared.

When he returned from studying in the United States, he was contaminated with too many Western habits and was beaten many times by the old man. He knew the old man's temper too well.

What "young people make their own decisions", if you are serious, you will lose.

The marriage of Chen Xiangdong's two sons is all designated by the old man. Who dares to object?

At first, in order to persuade his family to accept Liu Qianqian, his mouth was almost worn out.

Now, because of Mai Xiaoyu, the old man's decision has changed

Chen Xiangdong also felt that the old man attached too much importance to Mai Xiaoyu.

I paid enough attention to it before and wanted to betroth Chen Qiaoen to him; Now I pay more attention to it. After being rejected by him, I just forget it.

Chen Xiangdong pondered a little and said, "father, I admit that he is not simple, and today's achievements are by no means accidental. But is what he has done useful? Does he really think that with these layouts, he can deal with Optimus?"

Optimus is very cheap.

The power of giant and cheap lies not only in its own greatness, but also in its larger network of contacts.

Meng Ren has been in business for several years. Mai Xiaoyu can manage such a network. Qingtian has been established for many years. Won't it?

If you're not polite, Qingtian's network of contacts will only be bigger than that of cute people!

Mai Xiaoyu could rely on several shareholders of Hualong film and television to eat the Tang Dynasty because the Tang Dynasty was weak, but Optimus was different. If he wants to repeat his old skills and deal with Optimus in the same way, it is like a fool's dream.

Not to mention whether those families will agree, even if they agree, they think Optimus has no friends?

At that time, it will move, which is likely to set off a storm in the capital market, and the state regulatory authorities will intervene if they don't do well.

Only when there is stability can there be development. Stability is overriding!

It is taking these factors into account that Chen Xiangdong believes that although Mai Xiaoyu's scheming means of city government layout is better than his peers, his horizon is not high enough due to factors such as background, age and experience.

It's like the layout on the chessboard. In fact, it doesn't pose any threat to Optimus. At most, it's just self-protection, so that Optimus can't crush cute people.

The old man raised his eyelids and said, "open that chess piece."

Chen Xiangxi had wanted to do this for a long time. He immediately opened the only inverted piece on the chessboard and exclaimed, "there are really no words!"

"Yes, he's right. As Xiang Dong said, his layout is more than self-protection, but he can't threaten Optimus, so this piece is empty, because I can't figure out what the purpose of his layout is. I'll try it tonight."

"He saw my temptation, which showed that he didn't say to the East that his horizons were not high enough, but that we didn't see his ways. Just like tonight, who could have thought that he came to the birthday banquet to discuss cooperation with me?"

Chen Xiangdong said nothing.

They also saw that Mai Xiaoyu had the intention to discuss cooperation, otherwise he wouldn't have picked up a pile of stones in the backyard.

The old man glanced at them, drank tea, twisted his beard and said, "Xiangdong, do you remember the wild grass theory I told you?"

"Father, I remember."

"Just remember. I'll tell your brothers and nephews later. Do you know what more he has than you, killing, cutting, fruit and breaking."

The old man said the last four words word by word, and Chen Xiangdong was shocked at the same time.

"It's no wonder that you start your business by hard work and keep your business by stability, and stability is the main theme. You must consider the safety of your family, not too extreme, but he is different."

"He is a wild grass, a grass root, and fearless. If he doesn't fight hard, he won't be as cute as he is today; if he doesn't be cruel, he will attract many covets; if he doesn't do his best, he will not escape the end of being merged. Coupled with the gratitude and resentment with Qingtian, he will eventually create such a wonderful flower under great pressure."

The old man finished and drank another sip of tea.

When he put down his tea cup, Chen Xiangdong said, "father, do you mean to promise to cooperate with him?"

"Let's try the depth on the south side first. He is used to taking the wrong edge of the sword. Although he hasn't been defeated, I'm still not at ease. Alas, I'm old. If I had put it before, I wouldn't worry so much."

"Father, you are still young, mainly because you need to consider the overall situation."

"It's true. In the south, he said he would make two Hollywood blockbusters. You and Xiangxi should pay attention. When we cooperate in the future, we don't need any worries about investment."

Chen Xiangnan and Chen Xiangxi should go down.

The old man told me something else. It was early in the morning after he was busy.

"Do you have anything else to do? I'm going to bed. I'm old and mentally ill. I can't stay up at night."

Chen Nannan asked, "Jon went to the hotel tonight. Should I have someone find her back?"

"As I said, Jon and Mai Xiaoyu are in charge of their own affairs. You are not allowed to interfere. I don't believe it. My granddaughter of the Chen family can't compare with a grass-roots actor!"

"Mai Xiaoyu also came from grass roots..."

Chen Xiangxi's words stopped suddenly, because the eyes of his father and brother focused on him at the same time.

The old man's face was expressionless: "what did you say?"

"Ha ha, no, nothing." Chen Xiangxi scratched his head and laughed, "I suddenly remembered one thing. Father, you just said that wheat is extremely calculated. I also think he is very cunning. Would he have guessed the relationship between Jingxiao and our family long ago?"

The old man shook his hands and pulled off several beards

……

At the moment, Mai Xiaoyu has returned to the hotel. It is a five-star hotel prepared by the Chen family for guests coming to celebrate their birthday.

When he came out after taking a bath, he saw that it was past zero. Chen Qiaoen was still lying in front of the window looking at the night scene. He asked, "don't you go home?"

"I'm going back to the crew tomorrow. I'm staying in a hotel tonight."

"Is the room ready?"

"Is it difficult to open a room in our hotel?"

"What's the matter with you? Relatives?"

On the way back, Mai Xiaoyu noticed that Chen Qiaoen was in a bad mood. Jokes don't follow, bickering is easy to get angry, and always likes to dress up as melancholy. After entering the room, he has been lying in front of the window watching the night scene. After taking a bath, she came out and talked to her, and she never looked back.

Er... Now, Chen Qiaoen has turned around.

"What does it have to do with you whether I come or not?"

The roar was almost hoarse, and the air seemed to freeze.

With his eyes facing each other, Mai Xiaoyu opened his mouth and inexplicably found that facing Chen Qiaoen at the moment, he didn't know how to change the atmosphere, so he had to smile awkwardly.

Chen Qiaoen also realized that his tone was too heavy. He turned around again and continued to lie in front of the window and watch the night scene: "why do you care about me so much? Anyway, you don't have me in your heart."

It sounds like an explanation for his inexplicable anger, but Mai Xiaoyu hears a trace of crying in his tone.

Chen Qiaoen endured the grievances in his heart, but the tears fell silently like broken pearls, drop by drop, and finally connected into a line.

Mai Xiaoyu stood behind her and could not see the tears on her face. However, her trembling shoulders and the action of wiping tears in the window were clearly printed in her eyes.

His eyes moved down, slid over the red evening dress and landed on Chen Qiaoen's feet. After seeing the pair of Hentian Gao, Mai Xiaoyu suddenly heard a distant sound of footsteps in his mind.

That was the sound of high-heeled shoes knocking on the wooden and marble floor outside the door when Chen Xiangdong arranged someone to see you Jingxiao off in the study of Chen's villa tonight!

Hating Tiangao, a ray of light crossed Mai Xiaoyu's mind. He immediately figured out the changes of Chen Qiaoen tonight. Seeing Chen Qiaoen's trembling shoulders, he felt a faint pain in his heart.

After a moment of silence, he quietly walked behind Chen Qiaoen, said nothing, and hugged Chen Qiaoen from behind.

Chen Qiaoen's delicate body trembled and burst into tears.

"Let go of me!"

Chen Qiaoen struggled and cried to push Mai Xiaoyu away.

Mai Xiaoyu turned her body, squeezed her against the wall and sealed her lips.

Chen Qiaoen tried his best to push Mai Xiaoyu's head away: "go away and don't touch me. Didn't you say you didn't have me in your heart!"

Facing Chen Qiaoen's cry, Mai Xiaoyu said nothing, kissed her lips again and tore open her red skirt.

Chen Qiaoen was still struggling and shouting, but his struggling strength was getting smaller and smaller, and his crying voice was getting lower and lower. Finally, he took the initiative to hug Mai Xiaoyu

More than two hours later.

The night is very deep.

In the room, the air conditioner sends cold air; On the big bed, Mai Xiaoyu leaned against the head of the bed, Chen Qiaoen snuggled in his arms, and the thin air conditioner was horizontally covered on them. Neither of them spoke and enjoyed the silence after the wind and rain.

I don't know how long later, Chen Qiaoen raised his pretty face and tears were visible: "you don't want to say anything?"

Mai Xiaoyu touched her face: "sorry, I'm a scum man."

"I know, I know you're a scum man."

"I said casually, you don't have to take it too seriously."

Pop!

Chen Qiaoen slapped Mai Xiaoyu on the chest: "no denial, you are a scum man! A few years ago, you sneaked into my bedroom in the middle of the night, sneaked into my bed, and tore my clothes tonight..."

Then she put her ears on Mai Xiaoyu's chest and listened to his heartbeat: "I ask you, do you have me in your heart?"

Mai Xiaoyu held up her head, kissed her on the lips, and then held it in his arms: "I used to be a liar, you know, right?"

"You finally admit that you are a liar?"

"The fact is the fact. It won't change just because I admit it or not. In those years, I cheated people everywhere, including brother Lao and brother cha."

"They've been cheated by you, too? You're too bad."

"Yes, I never said I was a good man, and I don't want to be a good man. However, when I cheated before, I formulated a Macquarie's code of deception. Do you want to hear it?"

"You say it."

"First, be a professional liar with integrity; second, don't cheat if your family conditions are bad; third..."

"What are you, making excuses for being a liar?"

Mai Xiaoyu didn't answer and continued: "Article 4, cheat money without cheating color; Article 5... Article 8, rabbits don't eat nest grass and don't have relationships outside of work with company employees, members and artists."

After saying Article 8, Mai Xiaoyu paused.

"Now I try to wash white, but Article 8 has not been broken, except for two people."

Chen Qiaoen trembled: "one of them is me?"

Mai Xiaoyu nodded: "last time, I really went to the wrong room. It took a long time to find out."

"What about this time?"

Chen Qiaoen looked up and stared.

Mai Xiaoyu didn't speak, just hugged her.

Chen Qiaoen asked again, "where's sister Tao?"

"Do you remember the fifth point I said? The stay time in a place was no more than two months. At that time, we made about two million in Yanjing and were ready to go to Bincheng. Because of her appearance, we didn't go. Staying in Yanjing, Meng people changed from 'Meng people' to real Meng people, and then developed step by step to today."

Worried that Chen Qiaoen was sad, Mai Xiaoyu held her closer.

"I never believe in ghosts and gods, but I always think that she is the angel sent by God to save me... She is my angel."
