For the sake of Lin Huayin, Xiao Zheng could make some concessions to her family. Even if he had to lower his stance and lose some of his damn dignity. But it wasn't without a bottom line. If he really provoked her, Xiao Zheng wouldn't let him off.
As for Chang Yishan, Xiao Zheng didn't plan to give him any face. He couldn't make any concessions. Not to mention that Chang Yishan wanted to snatch Xiao Zheng's woman.
How could Xiao Zheng tolerate that?
"Mr. Xiao, based on my understanding of Chang Yishan. He might not talk to you about the so-called rules. To you, this battle is extremely important. To Chang Yishan, the same. "Shang Yao said slowly. "This is the battle for your foothold in Beijing. It's also the battle for Chang Yishan to establish his power. He can do whatever he wants on Wall Street. When he returns to China, he still needs to show his ability to prove himself. And you, will be his stepping stone. "
Xiao Zheng took a sip of Maotai and said calmly, "Miss Shang, you seem to be more worried about this than me."
"Because we're allies." Shang Yao said seriously. "If you lose, the Shang family will also suffer a great loss."
"Loss?" Xiao Zheng asked curiously. "What loss do you have?"
"Because we chose to support you. And gave up on roping in Chang Yishan. "Shang Yao said slowly.
Xiao Zheng couldn't help but twitch his mouth. "Miss Shang, I don't mean to look down on you. But it shouldn't be too hard for Chang Yishan to choose between you and Lin Chaotian, right? "
"Although this is hurtful." Shang Yao nodded. "But I admit, we can't win over Chang Yishan."
"From the looks of it, you chose me to settle for the next best thing?" Xiao Zheng said with a regretful expression.
"From the very beginning, Father has chosen you." Shang Yao said very cautiously. "Otherwise, even if Lin Chaotian barged into my father's study, he wouldn't be able to walk out so easily."
Xiao Zheng believed Shang Yao's words.
What kind of person was Shang Jingtian? Even Lu Dashan had high praise for him. So that Xiao Zheng would be on his guard. Twenty years ago, Lin Chaotian forced Lu Dashan and Bai Wuxia to retreat. However, he was unable to defeat Shang Jingtian. Instead, it slowly formed a stalemate between the two armies.
It could be said that Shang Jingtian could not compete with Lin Laoyao in terms of overall strength, even with the Yan Clan behind him. However, it would not be easy for Lin Laoyao to defeat Shang Jingtian. Otherwise, the two wouldn't be in a stalemate for so long.
After a brief silence, Xiao Zheng looked up and said with a relaxed expression, "Miss Shang's worries are unnecessary. This battle is more important to me than anyone else. "
Shang Yao smiled and said, "Looks like Mr Xiao's realm has been improving ever since he came to Beijing."
Xiao Zheng smiled and shook his head, "It's that person at home who gave me orders not to lose."
"The power of love is truly great." Shang Yao said meaningfully.
…
After returning home, Shang Yao went straight to Shang Jingtian's study. She said with a relaxed expression, "Father, Xiao Zheng's awareness is higher than we expected."
Shang Jingtian who was sitting on the chair smiled and said, "He has to be."
"But from what I know of him, he doesn't seem to be passionate about pursuing power. One must know that he's facing the strongest among the younger generation in Beijing. A slight mistake and he will lose all his reputation. " I have nothing. "Shang Yao was still not completely relieved. "It's already risky for us to bet on him so rashly. I need to beat him up from time to time. I need to make him understand his position and the environment he's facing. "
Shang Jingtian looked at his daughter who was meticulously analyzing, discussing, and deliberating with a faint smile on his face. "You're smart and cautious. But sometimes, you should broaden your horizons. Try to believe in the eyes of others. That way, you can save a lot of trouble. You won't put your energy on things that you shouldn't be concerned about. "
Shang Yao's expression changed and she sincerely said, "Please enlighten me, Father."
"What's Xiao Zheng's identity?" Shang Jingtian asked.
"Lin Huayin's man." Shang Yao said slowly.
"What do you think of Lin Huayin's taste?" Shang Jingtian smiled.
"Her eyes are on top of her head." Shang Yao said frankly.
"But she approved of Xiao Zheng." Shang Jingtian smiled. "And it went from an extremely hateful beginning to a very satisfying ending. What do you think Xiao Zheng used to move Lin Huayin? "
Shang Yao fell into deep thought.
With Lin Huayin's knowledge, background, and identity, could ordinary means open the heart of the number one princess in Beijing?
His heart?
Stop messing around. Are there not many men who are willing to give their heart to a perfect woman like Lin Huayin? Even Chang Yishan's method of pestering her didn't work at all.
Then — — how did Xiao Zheng capture Lin Huayin's heart?
Shang Jingtian saw that his daughter fell into deep thought, he shook his head and said softly: "You're wrong again."
"Hmm?" Shang Yao looked up with a confused expression.
"I'm not telling you all this because I want you to analyze what methods Xiao Zheng used to move Lin Huayin. I want you to know the beginning and the ending. Is it important whether you know the process or not? After analyzing Lin Huayin, do you still want to analyze Lu Dashan's respect for him, Ye Yuhua's love for him? Or even Lin Chaotian's hatred for him? You are my daughter, the future successor of Shang clan and Yan clan. You are not a psychologist, nor are you a relationship expert. Do you understand? "
Shang Yao suddenly realized that she had fallen into a meaningless endless loop. She nodded and said, "Father is right."
"The reason why Chang Yishan can succeed is because he never wastes time and energy on meaningless things. Plus he is smarter than normal people. His success is not a coincidence. I can even tell you that his relentless pursuit of Lin Huayin is most likely not because he truly likes Lin Huayin, loves Lin Huayin, but because he thinks this is his ending. "Shang Jingtian said with deep meaning. "A man who uses scientific methods to judge love, how can he not succeed?"
Shang Yao frowned slightly, asking in confusion: "Then what's the difference between him and a robot?"
Robot?
In the face of his daughter's questioning, Shang Jingtian fell into endless contemplation.
That's right. In many aspects, isn't Chang Yishan the same as a robot?
His lifestyle, his concept of love, even his family — —
Shang Jingtian knew that Chang Yishan did not have any conflicts or unhappiness with his family. But after he returned to the country, he did not stay with his family. He rarely even returned home. Why?
Maybe other people could not give a reasonable explanation, but Shang Jingtian could. Because Chang Yishan was too similar to him!
Twenty years ago, there were also people who secretly said that Shang Jingtian was a robot. Twenty years later, there were also people who said the same thing about Chang Yishan.
Why did he choose Xiao Zheng from the start and not try to rope in the more famous Chang Yishan? Any objective reason was secondary, the only reason he made this decision was because Chang Yishan was too similar to him!
People who were too similar to him were too dangerous.
Just like how Lin Chaotian hated Xiao Zheng without hiding.
