The side hall that Li Mu took Xiao Zheng to was not big. It was only 60 or 70 square meters. The light was slightly bright, and there were three people sitting in the hall.
One of them was naturally Bai Wuxia.
Compared with the past, today's Bai Wuxia had a heavier feeling. It made people feel oppressed. Apart from that, the space between his brows had also lost a bit of peacefulness, but had gained a bit of a threatening aura.
Xiao Zheng had never seen the old monk in such a state. But it also showed that Bai Zhengqing's death had caused great psychological damage to him.
The person sitting opposite Bai Wuxia was none other than Ye Yuhua. Xiao Zheng's mother-in-law.
His mother-in-law's expression was still normal, not much different from before. But the slight strange look in her eyes made Xiao Zheng feel that she was also in some kind of mood. Maybe it was because of Bai Zhengqing, or because of — Lord Ye?
In addition to these two old acquaintances, there was only one man that Xiao Zheng had never seen.
He was in his fifties, standing respectfully beside Bai Wuxia. Judging from his bearing and self-restraint, he was probably a great man.
But no matter how great he was, how could he be more powerful than the old monk sitting on the sofa?
In Hua Xia, probably only Lin Laoyao could suppress the old monk. Others? No solution.
After leading Xiao Zheng into the side hall, he was about to leave, but he was stopped by Bai Wuxia, who was sitting on the sofa. "Li Mu, don't do that. Come and sit down."
Hearing that, Li Mu showed a little uneasiness on his face. After asking the middle-aged man standing beside Bai Wuxia with his eyes, he walked over carefully. Half of his butt was on the sofa, but he straightened his back, as if he was ready to be scolded.
"Relax." Bai Wuxia glanced at him and then said. "You and Xiao Zheng are of the same age, so you should have a lot of common topics to talk about."
Xiao Zheng said bitterly, "Uncle Bai, you flatter me."
Judging from the attitudes of the men around Li Mu and Bai Wuxia, they were at least relatives. Judging from their appearances, it was very likely that they were father and son. Otherwise, Li Mu would not be able to take on such an important job. He was even quite confident in front of Bai Wushuang.
"Li Jianguo." Bai Wuxia introduced him to Xiao Zheng. "Executive Vice President of the Group. Speaking of positions, they are the same as you, Xiao Zheng. It's just that our Bai family has been going downhill these past few years, we can't catch up with your Xin Ao Big Open Axe, which has a mighty momentum. "
Xiao Zheng said helplessly, "Uncle Bai, it's just a coincidence. How can they be compared to the Bai family? "
Although there was no smile on Bai Wuxia's face, when she was talking to Xiao Zheng, her expression became much gentler. When Li Jianguo saw this scene, he felt a sense of sorrow. He secretly thought that the relationship between Big Boss Xiao Zheng was really not simple.
But on second thought, even Ye Yuhua could become Xiao Zheng's mother-in-law, so it was normal that Big Boss treated Xiao Zheng better.
The conversation between them was rather calm. Xiao Zheng did not mention what happened in the lobby. Bai Wuxia did not deliberately mention the unexpected death of the old master. Ye Yuhua was making tea and occasionally handed a cup to Xiao Zheng. Her face showed a gentle expression. Xiao Zheng and Li Mu chatted for a while, but they did not go deeper. Instead, Bai Wuxia took the lead and started to talk about some topics that were not suitable for this situation.
"Jianguo has worked in the Bai family for 30 years. He is the first senior member of the Group. Li Mu is young and has a good business sense. In a few years, he should be able to take charge of the Group, "Bai Wuxia said slowly. "He can't be compared with you, Xiao Zheng, but compared with his peers, his qualifications are not too bad. After all, his resources are limited, and Jianguo has been strictly controlled these years. First, he is afraid that people will gossip. Second, he wants to polish more. "
After a pause, Bai Wuxia squinted at Li Jianguo and said, "Don't stare at Li Mu in the future. He is your son, not your pet."
Li Jianguo bent down and said calmly, "I will listen to Big Boss."
"Don't be submissive. Your ideas are better than anyone else's. If I don't put a knife on your neck, will you listen to me?" Bai Wuxia lit a cigarette and said calmly.
Li Jianguo bent down even more and said, "I am grateful to the old master. Big Boss wants to help me. I don't want to think about anything else in my life. I just want to do a good job. I will not let you down, and I will not let the Bai family down. "
Bai Wuxia spat out a thick cloud of smoke, took a sip of strong tea and said, "Your ability is not limited to this. Otherwise, Lin Laoyao would not have thrown an olive branch to you. "
Xiao Zheng heard this and his heart skipped a beat.
Li Jianguo was too fierce. Even the arrogant Lin Laoyao tried to rope him in?
Even if it happened when the Lin family needed talents the most, it was enough to prove that Li Jianguo was quite an outstanding person.
Looking at his current attitude, he did not have any pride as an executive vice president. He simply regarded himself as a servant of the Bai family. Even his son, Li Mu, worked as an errand boy. It could be seen that both Bai Wuxia and the old master regarded him as their own son.
"Jianguo, I have something to say." Ye Yuhua, who had been silent, said gently. "You will be in charge of White City. Let your son go to Yan Jing. After all, there are more opportunities there than in White City. "
Li Jianguo heard this and glanced at Li Mu. "This boy is capable, but he is not shrewd enough. He needs a few years of polishing."
"If you continue polishing, he will be middle-aged, let alone you." Bai Wuxia raised his eyebrows. "I will make the decision. He will take over the affairs of Jufeng Network. The Bai family has obvious shortcomings in this area, so he can practice. If you don't trust him, you can keep an eye on him. "
Although Li Jianguo was respectful to Bai Wuxia, he was very stubborn. Especially when it came to promoting his own son, it made him feel conflicted from the inside out.
"It happens that I am also a shareholder of Jufeng Network. I can talk to Li Mu later. "Xiao Zheng also got involved and said with a smile. "Uncle Li, if you don't trust him, I can help you keep an eye on him. If he really does something out of line, I will inform you immediately. "
Li Jianguo's expression was complicated. Finally, under the pressure of the three parties, he gritted his teeth and agreed.
He raised his head and glared at Li Mu. "Brat, are you stupid or mute? Don't you know how to say thank you? "
Li Mu hurriedly stood up and thanked Bai Wuxia, Ye Yuhua, and Xiao Zheng one by one.
"That's enough." Bai Wuxia waved his hand and put out the cigarette. "Xiao Zheng, I may be busy these days, so I may not have time to entertain you. Uncle Bai will show you around after we're done with this. "
Xiao Zheng knew that Bai Wuxia asked him to leave, and he guessed that there was something more important to discuss. He didn't want to occupy the space, so he stood up and said, "Uncle Bai, don't be too sad. No one can avoid birth, aging, illness, and death. "
Bai Wuxia nodded gently. He accepted Xiao Zheng's comfort.
Soon, Xiao Zheng and Li Mu walked out of the side hall together.
However, Xiao Zheng felt a little weird in his heart.
The old monk's conversation was not like what the old master should say on the second day after he died. It was strange.
