"Greetings, madame." Xia Zhi anxiously went forward to support her.

However, she slightly turned away from Xia Zhi's hand, and said with a light smile: "I'm very happy that you're able to accompany me to dinner. However, before we eat, I will say something nasty first. Today, I will just talk about it and not talk about the business. "

Old Lady Chen was very surprised, staring at the tulips for a long time without being able to recover from it.

Surprise flashed across Old Lady Chen's face, and she smiled reservedly: "You really don't have to force yourself in order to curry favor with me. I know that you youngsters love to talk about style, and always think that wine is good for taste. So, you drink at the Red Bar. I invited you over but you didn't want to get drunk. "

Xia Zhi laughed, "For matters like drinking alcohol, I will not show off. Believe me, I'm telling the truth! "

"Really? "Then shall we have brandy?" Old Lady Chen raised her eyebrows, her brows filled with provocation.

was overjoyed by the young man's competitive spirit.

Since there was someone who was unwilling to accept this challenge, it meant that the old lady still had a young heart.

It was because of this, that she was able to persist on the edge of death at Huatai Supermarket right?

This is good too.

At least the grief wouldn't break her.

She suddenly stopped trying to convince the old lady, thinking it would be nice if the old lady could keep on with it.

Xia Zhi laughed openly, "Alright. Brandy! However, you are still a bit old, so it's best for you to drink less. "

"You're looking down on me?" Old Lady Chen coldly snorted, "We still don't know who will win! A Lan, pour the wine! "

A Lan, who was standing by the side, said worriedly: "Old lady, you have a bad heart, the doctor has long warned you to stop drinking. A glass of red wine would do, a strong brandy? Miss Tian, what do you say? "

Old Lady Chen's eyes stared wide, "What? "You think I'm useless now that I'm old and you want to be my master?"

A Lan laughed awkwardly and looked at Xia Zhi for help.

Xia Zhi looked at her, "Whatever the old lady says is fine. Quickly get it! "

A Lan had no choice but to pour wine for the two of them.

Xia Zhi raised her wine cup and stood up, "Old granny, let me celebrate your birthday. I'll do it first.

Before she finished her sentence, she had already raised her head and drained her cup in one gulp.

Old Lady Chen watched as she downed the wine in one gulp, her face not red nor did her heart beat fast, and couldn't help but laugh, "It looks like you really have a good alcohol tolerance. I'll go too! "

Just as she was about to raise her head and drink it, Xia Zhi pointed at her back, "Mouse!"

The old lady was shocked and quickly put down her wine cup. She stood up and looked around in panic, "Where? Where? A Lan, quickly find them and beat them to death! "

"Got it, got it." A Lan immediately took a broom and bent down to look around.

Xia Zhi took the chance to drink all the wine in the old lady's cup, then picked up the teapot to pour a cup of white tea, and laughed: "Maybe I'm seeing things? Please sit down. "

"Are you seeing things?" Old Lady Chen looked at her suspiciously and waved her hand, "A Lan, stop looking for me. If there really was a mouse, there might be more than one. Buy a cat and come back tomorrow to raise one! "

"Yes." A Lan agreed.

"Let's drink. That's right. I haven't even had a sip yet! "Just you wait." Old Lady Chen lifted her wine cup.

Xia Zhi anxiously said: "I am young, and am your junior. You can do as you wish."

Yet Old Lady Chen raised her head and drank all of it in one gulp.

Xia Zhi raised his thumb, "You sure have a good tolerance for alcohol."

Old Lady Chen looked at her suspiciously and knocked on the table, "A Lan, continue."

A Lan looked at Xia Zhi worriedly, and Xia Zhi replied with a bright smile.

Old Lady Chen said unhappily: I asked you to pour the wine, what are you going to do with her all the time?

A Lan was helpless, and could only pour more wine.

The old lady raised her glass, "I thank you for giving me such a beautiful flower. It reminds me of the beauty of many years ago. This time, I will drink first! "

"Wait, wait. Let's slow down a bit, old lady. I know you are powerful, but please take care of us juniors. I hadn't had much to eat all day, and suddenly I was drinking so much that my stomach couldn't bear it. Why don't we eat something to cover the bottom? At least have a bowl of soup, won't you? "I see that this Black Chicken Red Jujube soup is not bad. Can I serve you a bowl?"

The old lady laughed and put down her glass. "It's good that you know your place."

"Yes, yes, yes. I've removed all the oil from the soup for you. You can drink it now. " Xia Zhi personally scooped a bowl of soup and handed it over to her.

"You'll be fine." The old lady looked at her meaningfully, accepted the bowl of soup, lowered her head and took a sip.

Xia Zhi took the opportunity to drink her wine and change it to tea.

It wasn't easy for him to finish his meal. Xia Zhi was already slightly smoked, but she was still energetic.

She stood up and said with a faint smile, "Shall we go to the living room and have a cup of tea?"

Xia Zhi waved her hand and laughed: "No need. I'm getting a bit drunk, and I'm afraid that if I stay any longer, I'll be in a lot of bad shape. "

"Alright. "Then I'll get the driver to drive you."

"No need! Really, there's no need! I just need to go out and fight! " Xia Zhi shook his head like a rattle drum.

"Don't refuse. This is my heart. You deserve my kindness. " Old Lady Chen looked at her deeply, "But no matter how good you are, I can't let you buy my Hua Tai. That was the blood and sweat of my son, and as far as I'm concerned, my son is still alive ….

At the end of her sentence, she couldn't help but feel tears welling up in her eyes.

"Then keep it alive." Xia Zhi's heart was filled with an indescribable sadness. "If you are willing, I can send people to help you, and I can also lend you some money to tide you over your current difficulties. In the end, the reason why Huatai is on the verge of bankruptcy is simply because of some factors such as inadequate management, backward management, single goods and too many employees. These problems can be improved in time, "he said.

Old Lady Chen shook his head, "I appreciate your good intentions, but I do not like to owe others."

"Old granny, you're really as stubborn as the rumors said you were." Xia Zhi helplessly sighed.

"Alright. Sit down first! I told A Lan to call my driver. He was out on some business and should be back soon. You've accompanied me for so long, don't you mind staying with me for a while longer? "

"Of course not. I was just afraid that I would disturb your rest. "

"As you age, you will have less sleep. "With you here, time will be much faster." Old Lady Chen looked at her with endless loneliness and sorrow.

Xia Zhi thought that she was actually much warmer than the rumors said she was, but it was just that she had no choice but to be strong and be cold …

Inexplicably, Xia Zhi felt sympathy for her as if they were both in the same bed.

Just as he sat down on the sofa, Xia Zhi's phone suddenly rang.

She apologized to Old Lady Chen and took a look. It was Yi Zihan.

She quickly answered, "Hello?" Zi Han? What's the matter? "

"I am at Old Lady Chen's door. When are you coming out? "

Xia Zhi was startled, and lowered her voice, "Zi Han, you couldn't have come here with me long ago, right?"

"Don't blame me for following you, that's why something like that happened. I really don't feel at ease leaving you to act alone." Yi Zihan's voice was filled with regret, but it also contained an irresistible force.

Xia Zhi felt a warm feeling in her heart, and sighed softly, "Why would I blame you? I'm just very touched and glad. "

"When are you coming out?"

"Here it comes. You wait for me. " Xia Zhi hung up the phone and turned to look at the old lady apologetically, "Old Lady Chen, my friend came to pick me up, so I won't trouble your driver to send me off. It's been a pleasure to have dinner with you today. Hopefully, he would have the opportunity to do so again in the future. Of course, you can rest assured that you will never discuss business matters. "

She stood up and spread her arms with a smile. "May I give you a good hug?"

Old Lady Chen was startled, she stood up and opened her arms.

Xia Zhi hugged her and whispered gently, "You are a good mother. Your son is so happy to have you. If there is an afterlife, I believe he will still be willing to be your son. "

Old Lady Chen did not say anything, but she clearly felt the old lady's body trembling.

Xia Zhi lightly patted her back, not saying a word, hoping that her warm hug could pass on to her strength to continue.

Of course, she would also provide backdoor help, such as quietly providing personnel and supplies for support.

He believed that with their combined efforts, Hua Tai would definitely regain his vitality.

As for Qiao Zhian, she could only think of another way.

They continued to hug each other until Xia Zhi's phone rang again. Finally, Old Lady Chen pushed her away, turned around and wiped her eyes, then turned back and said in a low voice, "Take out the contract!"

Xia Zhi was startled, "What did you say?"

"Contract." The contract to buy Huatai. Take it out quickly. I don't want to repeat myself. " Old Lady Chen sat down calmly.

"Uh. Old Lady Chen, you really don't have to force yourself. And don't be moved by what I said and did. I know what Huatai means to you, so I've dropped my original plan. Really! "I swear!" Xia Zhi immediately raised three of his fingers and swore, "If I, Tian Wan has even half a lie, then tell me to go out and get struck by lightning!"
