Chapter 67 The Future Master of the Brandenberg Empire
"Zhiyue..." Gu Zhaoye's voice became even hoarser, and the desire in his eyes became more obvious.
He kissed the juice on her neck eagerly, like a dangerous beast.
Gu Zhaoye unbuttoned her pajamas, and his slender fingers fell on her collar. Jiang Zhiyue knew what he wanted to do and grabbed his hand, "It's getting late, I have to go back."
"Zhiyue, you are the only one who dares to reject me at this time." The young man hugged her tightly, increasing his strength. Veins on the back of his hands bulged, and his dark eyes were extremely captivating.
Jiang Zhiyue looked at him, tried to push him away, and tried to change the subject, wanting to show him the design drawings of the welcome party.
"Give it here, sit on my lap and show me." Gu Zhaoye took a deep breath. He knew very well that she was trying to escape from him with her clumsy tactics. She should be glad that he was easier to talk to today.
Jiang Zhiyue took the design drawing and sat on the sofa. Gu Zhaoye was obviously not satisfied. He took advantage of the girl's unpreparedness, stretched out his arms, hugged her and insisted on letting her sit on his lap.
It's completely different from when he was violent and angry.
The young man quietly rested his chin on her head, listening to her talk about the preparations for the party. He responded to her incoherently and fed her strawberries. The fruit juice was stained on his fingertips, and Gu Zhaoye licked it on the tip of his tongue.
"Don't go shopping for decorations alone. I'll let the housekeeper do it."
Jiang Zhiyue shook her head, "This is the public school's business, not the Gu family's business."
"It's really annoying. Why are you so stubborn?" The young master was unhappy and pinched the girl's face hard.
Jiang Zhiyue handed him the workbook that Professor Li had given him. "These are the questions for the class test. You didn't take the test, so the professor asked you to fill in the answers."
Gu Zhaoye's expression became even uglier, as if he had met his natural enemy.
Jiang Zhiyue said softly, "Just to show off, you should write down a few answers. Otherwise, how can the professor give you a grade?"
Gu Zhaoye crossed his arms across his chest with a high attitude. Jiang Zhiyue put down her exercise book and tidied her messy clothes. Her eyes were clear and her long, thick black hair was tied into a ponytail.
Gu Zhaoye looked at the swaying ponytail, then stared at the little face without makeup, and felt his mouth becoming increasingly dry.
She had been gone for a long time, and he was leaning on the sofa, still not recovering from his daze. Xiao Zhaoye kept protesting, so he simply ran to take a cold shower, and only then did he feel a lot more sober.
The next day, Gu Zhaoye woke up at noon and was called to the main building by Old Lady Gu, who had just returned home from worshiping Buddha, and was severely scolded.
Mrs. Gu gave the Lin family a piece of land connected to the port area, and the matter was settled.
Old Madam Gu was heartbroken. "You bastard, you've really been spoiled by your mother. I don't know what she was thinking, putting a girl next to you. This girl is a disaster!"
"You fought for her this time, will you kill for her next time? Can a lowly girl fascinate you so much?"
Gu Zhaoye crossed his legs and played with his lighter, looking nonchalant and relaxed, as if everything around him had nothing to do with him.
Tired of listening, he got up and left. Old Mrs. Gu slammed the table and asked him where he was going, but Gu Zhaoye didn't even turn his head.
Finally, the bodyguard who was sent out reported that the young master drove his sports car towards the nightclub again.
...
At the same time, the golf course.
The sun is scorching, and from afar it looks like a vast expanse of artificial green space.
A group of senior officials accompanied the elderly Mr. Xiao to play golf. With one swing, the golf ball spun in the air and slid perfectly into the hole.
Everyone applauded, "The old man is still as skilled as ever, this is really brilliant."
"We lost to you, and we accept it sincerely."
Old Master Xiao smiled cheerfully and waved his hand, "I'm too old to play anymore. I just like to play chess at home and exercise. You guys insisted on inviting me to the court. You knew I wouldn't agree, so you asked Jingrun to come."
"Tell me, what's going on here that has forced an old man like me, who has retired to the background, to sacrifice my rest time to come out and chat with you guys."
The financial secretary next to him smiled attentively and said, "Old man, it's nothing. It's just that Young Master Xiao is still too young after all, and there may be some differences of opinion. There is no other way. I came to see you, old man. Young Master Xiao only listens to you."
"For the opening of the foreign trade port this time, we chose Monterey, Colorado, and Bama. Master Xiao had a different idea from everyone else, so he eliminated Bama and chose the Chu family's New Nashville."
"You also know how chaotic New Naxi has become under the Chu family's governance over the years. If it is opened as a port, the civilians will riot for supplies."
"Oh? There is such a thing?" Old Master Xiao smiled and glanced at Xiao Jingrun who was standing beside him. "Jingrun, why haven't I heard you mention it before?"
The sunlight poured down like golden threads. The man stood tall and slender, with elegant and cold eyebrows and eyes. He was shrouded in a sense of alienation, and he stood apart from the crowd without making a sound.
In front of Mr. Xiao, he acted as a qualified caddy, taking the golf club from Mr. Xiao's hand and wiping it clean.
Old Man Xiao looked at him, and Xiao Jingrun smiled faintly, “I think there’s no need to trouble Grandpa with such a small problem.”
"In recent years, the major families have excluded the Chu family from all profitable industries. If they don't give them some benefits, I'm worried that things will change sooner or later."
The Xiao family has many descendants, and there are seven or eight successors of the younger generation. Among them all, Xiao Jingrun seems to have the best temper, but in fact, when you get to know him, you will find that he is the most ruthless.
He grew up in the Presidential Palace with Grandpa Xiao when he was young and was favored by Grandpa Xiao to a certain extent. Even though Grandpa Xiao has retreated behind the scenes, judging from the Xiao family's network of contacts and the deployment in recent years, the future master of the Brandenburg Empire will still be born in the Xiao family.
Everyone is taking sides cautiously. The reason they invited Old Man Xiao out today is to see his attitude. Will he fully support Xiao Jingrun, or will he praise him openly and criticize him secretly, using Xiao Jingrun as a shield to pave the way for other descendants?
"Jingrun is a child whose style of doing things is different from his older brothers. He has been very stubborn since he was a child." Old Master Xiao nodded and said meaningfully, "But I admire his stubbornness."
"The worst and most chaotic place is managed by the Chu family. Once there is a profitable project, they are excluded. Director Wang, you are not a kind person."
What a dishonest sentence.
Director Wang almost knelt down when he heard this. He quickly said he didn't dare, wiping the sweat from his forehead and said, "Grandpa, I am your student. You recommended me to the Ministry of Finance. I have always been loyal to you."
"I'm just worried that Master Xiao and Master Chu have a close personal relationship and might be acting on their emotions."
