Xu Guangcai saw his humble expression and thought that Xu Zhaoyue's move to befriend the Yue family was a good one. "What exactly is the relationship? If they are completely unrelated, even if Xiaoyue wanted to help, she couldn't."
“I’m a distant nephew, you could say. My mother and Aunt Yue were quite close when they were young, but after our family moved away from the capital, we lost contact,” Yue Lanxing said.
Xu Guangcai believed his explanation. It must have been that banquet hosted by Yue Wenzhi that gave them the opportunity to get to know each other. At that time, Yue Wenzhi even said that Yue Lanxing looked familiar and that they would definitely have more contact later.
"I see." Xu Guangcai's tone softened. "When I came back today, I saw that the bodyguards in the warehouse were well trained. You are a talented person, and Butler Xu also said that you have a strong learning ability."
"How about I transfer you to the company?" Xu Guangcai originally wanted to transfer you to his side, but he was afraid that Xu Zhaoyue would disagree and make a fuss. Transferring to the company would be more respectable than being a bodyguard or butler at the mansion.
Yue Lanxing was surprised that the old man would say that. "Ah? Actually, my abilities are not yet at the level to go to the company. I usually just work shifts with Miss at the company."
Xu Guangcai looked at him probingly, "A man should always have his own career, or do you want to go back to the Yue family in the future?"
"The Yue family will be going back in a while. I have no interest in going to the capital to make a living," Yue Lanxing said.
Xu Guangcai squinted and remained silent for a moment. Yue Lanxing really knew about the Yue family. Even he didn't know when the Yue family left. This kid is still somewhat useful.
"Alright, you can go back now. Learn from Butler Xu more often. If you want to work at the company, come and tell me. Xiaoyue just doesn't know how to manage talent. It's a waste to put someone like you in the butler's position."
Yue Lanxing felt there was nothing wrong with being in the butler's position, but he understood what the master meant, so he didn't object. "I will try my best to improve."
While they finished arguing, Zhao Yuanyuan was still arguing with Xu Zhaoming.
"I've already explained it to you clearly, do you even understand that this is for your own good?" Zhao Yuanyuan was furious at the sight of her daughter's indifferent attitude.
Xu Zhaoming threw the torn pieces of paper on the ground. "I'm not going! She just wants to kick me out. Look how far away these schools are. I'll be all alone and helpless outside. I won't let her succeed."
"Oh my, even if these schools are in other places, the people who send you there, the money, and everything else are all handled by the master, and I personally oversee everything."
“If you don’t go out, where else can you go in Shanghai? People will laugh at you if they see you go out!” The stepmother suddenly became stern; she had to get Xu Zhaoming’s permission to go out.
Xu Zhaoming didn't care whether she was angry or not, and rolled his eyes. "As long as they don't say it in front of me, why should I care?"
In the end, the stepmother returned empty-handed and told Xu Guangcai about it. Xu Guangcai felt even more that his daughter was brainless and had no regard for the family's reputation.
Xu Zhaoyue never expected her stepmother to persuade Xu Zhaoming, but she just wanted to plant the idea of sending her away.
When Yue Lanxing returned, he told Xu Zhaoyue his entire conversation with Xu Guangcai, “That’s all. Why does the master want me to join the company?”
After hearing this, Xu Zhaoyue completely understood what her father was thinking: "Because he wants you to get away from me."
"What?" Yue Lanxing exclaimed in disbelief. "But if I joined the company, I would definitely be on your side. Why would I leave?"
"Even the best relationships can have conflicts at work. Don't you know you can't do business with friends? Maybe they're being tactful because of your connection to the Yue family." Xu Zhaoyue felt that Yue Lanxing had already received very good treatment.
Yue Lanxing also thought so, "Hmm, just how powerful is the Yue family in Beijing? It feels like the Yue family could quickly take over a region if they wanted to develop in Shanghai. The master is also very wary of the Yue family."
"Well, even the Fang and Han families combined are not as good as the Yue family. The Beijing market is controlled by the Yue, Fang, Jin, and Qin families. They have a longer history, deeper foundation, and more extensive network of relationships than the six families in Shanghai."
"But the Xu family doesn't need to get involved. Who would have a problem with the hospital?"
Xu Zhaoyue thought that the original timeline was that the Yue family acquired Xu's Hospital, and she couldn't help but admire them. But did Yue Lanxing and the Yue family recognize each other back then?
"Indeed, there is no fierce competition among the several companies in Shanghai. Even the more domineering Fang family, Han family, and Yan family in Shanghai do not have any stubborn conflicts among themselves."
Yue Lanxing is right, but after the Yue family arrived, they clashed with the Han family—a conflict between a powerful figure and a local bully.
"It's their business now. The hospital will at most provide treatment after their fight, and they'll still make money from it," Xu Zhaoyue said with a smile. "Xiao Hao will be back for dinner the day after tomorrow, and then he'll go on a business trip. This is his first time traveling so far."
“There’s nothing we can do about it. After the young master goes out, will the He family take any measures? We can’t keep making the young master avoid it, can we?” Yue Lanxing knew that the young lady didn’t want the young master to go out.
Xu Zhaoyue shook her head. "I don't know. I'll ask He Lianhua after Xiao Hao leaves. By the way, can you talk to He Kaiyuan?"
Yue Lanxing thought for a moment and said conservatively, "I've seen them many times with the young lady. I was the one who went to the school when the three of them fought last time. I can talk to them, but whether they listen or not..."
"I'm thinking that if I go to talk to Kaiyuan later, it will be difficult to find a starting point. It would be like an elder trying to break up a couple. Maybe it would be more effective if a man talked to him instead." Xu Zhaoyue was a little conflicted.
"Does Miss want to persuade Young Master He to calm down?" Yue Lanxing asked.
