NOVEL NEXT Chapter 281 – What does it mean to have a connection with elders?
Sure enough, without that damn rat causing trouble, taking down these big families would be a piece of cake!
That old fellow clearly acknowledges me now!
"No, no, no, we must go. Meeting is fate, after all."
Old Master Qi laughed heartily, gently rubbing Ye Qiu's arm.
This young man has quite the solid muscles.
No wonder he was so forceful when he talked back to me earlier.
Ye Qiu pondered for two seconds before nodding with feigned difficulty.
"Since you insist, Old Master, it would be rude of me to refuse."
He was overjoyed inside.
This Old Master Qi is too easy to win over. As long as I establish a connection with the Qi Family today, in no more than a month, the Qi Family will be my pawn!
By then, how would the Wei Family dare to trouble me?
As for Tang Yu's Dayue Real Estate, with the Qi Family's cooperation, shutting them down would be a matter of minutes.
Killing Tang Yu and destroying the Tang Family is inevitable!
Who told them to obstruct the revival of the Ye Family!
"Brother, thank you for your help today, but you look familiar. Have we met somewhere before?"
Qi Xinghan, who usually has a bad temper, surprisingly gave Ye Qiu a smile.
Yet, a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes.
Why does this man seem familiar?
"This is fate."
Old Master Qi laughed from the side.
He held Ye Qiu's hand tightly and said, "Come on, young friend, I'll take you to an old Yanjing hotpot place I frequent. It's authentic."
Ye Qiu laughed along.
This Old Master Qi is way too enthusiastic.
So enthusiastic that it feels inexplicably strange, yet he can't pinpoint what's wrong.
Only Yun Shishi stood by with a numb expression.
After hearing Tang Yu's inner thoughts, she gradually understood everything.
This man named Ye Qiu seemed to have saved the old master by chance, but in reality, he was targeting the Qi Family.
But she didn't care about that.
What does the Qi Family's business have to do with her?
From the moment Qi Xinghan laid hands on her, she no longer considered herself part of the Qi Family!
She just wanted to know how she could hear Tang Yu's voice.
Unfortunately, she looked around but couldn't find Tang Yu's figure.
At this moment, Tang Yu stood there, dumbfounded, as if spitting blood.
"Damn system, what's going on here?"
He cursed in his heart.
He came here specifically to cause trouble, not wanting Ye Qiu to cozy up to the Qi Family.
But judging by the old man's attitude just now, it was as if Ye Qiu was his own grandson.
Could it be that this damn protagonist's halo is already this strong?
"Uh... it's not my fault, maybe your actions changed the plot."
The system's voice carried a hint of embarrassment.
"My actions?"
Tang Yu thought for a moment and suddenly realized.
Damn.
That old fellow is actually gay???
My antics didn't disgust him but instead helped Ye Qiu gain favor???
"Seriously, this works?"
Tang Yu almost spat out a mouthful of old blood.
In such a crucial plot point, I ended up helping this guy?
Damn it.
No wonder experts always talk about the aging population.
This is truly encountering an old one!
If Ye Qiu becomes Old Master Qi's boy toy, this will be hard to handle.
As a professional at ruining Ye Qiu's plans, Tang Yu would never allow himself to fail!
"Damn it, don't think you can get away with this."
Muttering to himself, Tang Yu followed closely behind Ye Qiu and his group with a dark face.
A villain never gives up easily!
As long as there's life, there's mischief!
According to the system's spoiler of the original plot, after Ye Qiu saved Old Master Qi, he gained his favor.
To express his gratitude, Old Master Qi invited him for hotpot and a tour, and they became close friends despite the age gap.
To sabotage their relationship, Tang Yu had to act quickly!
In short, their relationship must not progress further!
After leaving the mall, Ye Qiu was led to a car by Old Master Qi, who held his hand the entire way.
Old Master Qi's face was full of affection, and his words were filled with gratitude and fondness for Ye Qiu.
Ye Qiu knew well how to win over these old men.
Without this, how could he recruit them to his side?
First, make them have enough goodwill towards him.
Then, show his strength step by step to conquer them, making them his pawns, even proud of it!
"What does it mean to have a connection with elders?"
Ye Qiu thought proudly to himself.
When they arrived at the old Yanjing hotpot place in a secluded area, Old Master Qi introduced it with a smile while holding Ye Qiu's hand.
"Xiao Ye, don't underestimate this little place. It's been around for five generations. You won't find such authentic old Yanjing hotpot anywhere else in Yanjing."
"Hey, Old Master, you really know your stuff. The real delicacies are always in these unassuming little places."
Ye Qiu gave a thumbs up in praise.
"Come on, let's eat."
Old Master Qi pulled Ye Qiu inside with big strides.
The old shop wasn't large, with only six tables inside.
When they entered, there was just one empty table left.
Seeing Old Master Qi, the round-faced middle-aged owner immediately came up with a smile.
"Oh, Old Master, it's been a while. The usual today?"
"The usual, but add two more plates of lamb. I brought a young friend."
Old Master Qi greeted and then sat down with Ye Qiu.
Throughout, Old Master Qi held Ye Qiu's hand.
Ye Qiu felt that the old fellow was a bit too affectionate towards him.
But he thought it was a good thing.
Although the old man had stepped down from the head position, his influence in the Qi Family was still the greatest.
If he acknowledges me, I can manipulate the Qi Family's resources!
"If only he had a pretty granddaughter."
Ye Qiu thought to himself.
Unfortunately, he had seen the Qi Family's information.
Among the girls of his generation, one was already married, and the other wasn't attractive enough to interest him.
His gaze quietly swept over Yun Shishi, and he couldn't help but swallow.
This woman had an incredibly hot figure.
Her body, appearance, and temperament were all perfect.
Her ample assets were a rare sight, completely out of control.
Once he took over the Qi Family, he must find an opportunity to sleep with her!
Soon, the restaurant staff brought over the hotpot base and dishes.
"Come on, let's have a drink first."
Ye Qiu proactively poured drinks for everyone.
"I'm allergic to alcohol, I'll just have a soft drink."
Yun Shishi quickly stated that she didn't drink alcohol, pouring herself some juice.
She really didn't want this man named Ye Qiu to pour her a drink.
Mainly because... she found it dirty.
A man who would cozy up to old men just to climb up, she found it disgusting just thinking about it.
Qi Xinghan sneered and said, "Now you know you're allergic to alcohol? How come you're not allergic when drinking with your bestie?"
"Alright, say less while eating."
Seeing his grandson getting angry again, Old Master Qi frowned and scolded.
Only then did Qi Xinghan reluctantly shut his mouth.
He used to like this woman, she was beautiful and had a great figure.
Until that laugh on their wedding night.
It deeply wounded Qi Xinghan's pride, making him increasingly displeased with Yun Shishi.
Whenever he found an opportunity, he couldn't help but pick on her.
If Yun Shishi dared to talk back, it would give him an excuse to hit her.
If it weren't for her powerful family, if she were an ordinary woman or a celebrity, with his temper, she would have met with an accident long ago.
"This drink is to wish Old Master good health."
After pouring the drinks, Ye Qiu raised his glass with a smile.
Before conquering the Qi Family, he had to lower his stance a bit.
