Moreover, the reason why Xiao Gucheng has been working hard for the Xiao family all these years is that he promised that he would find his lost son for him.
Whether he has been looking for him over the years or not is not the point, but if Xiao Gucheng knew that his son was found, he would probably retire.
"Besides, why was the child lost back then?" Old Man Wen stared at Xiao Wanli coldly: "You know the reason yourself."
Xiao Wanli's eyelids twitched, and his eyes became deep and terrifying in an instant.
Yes, why did the child get lost back then? Ultimately, it was all because of Xiao Wanli's selfish motives.
If Xiao Gucheng knew the truth, he would probably have no contact with the Xiao family for the rest of his life.
"So, on behalf of Xiao Gu, I'm here to inform you that starting today, Xiao Gucheng and you, Xiao Wanli, will sever your parent-child relationship."
"From now on, he and the Xiao family will have no contact with each other until they die."
Xiao Wanli's face changed drastically, but he had no way to refute.
"Xiao Chen." After getting angry at Xiao Wanli, Old Wen turned his head and looked at Xiao Chen.
"Mr. Wen, why are you here?" Xiao Chen asked.
"I want to talk to Xiao Wanli about something. It's a good thing that you are here. I have made some progress on the thing you asked me to do." Old Wen looked at Xiao Chen with a kind face.
"Really?" Xiao Chen was delighted.
"Let's talk somewhere else." Old Man Wen nodded, ignored Xiao Wanli, and walked out with Xiao Chen.
Xiao Wanli's face darkened. He looked at the backs of the old man and the young man as they left, and remained silent for a long time.
"Mr. Xiao, what should we do next?" Wu Sheng walked in. "Should we invest in Xiao Chen's company or not?"
"Heh...his company?" Xiao Wanli sneered, "I admit that Xiao Chen is quite capable."
"But he's already gotten ahead of himself at such a young age. He's already gotten carried away and rejected the Xiao family. I wonder how far he can go."
Wu Sheng nodded gently: "Then let's put this matter aside for the time being?"
"Think of a way to prevent Xiao Chen's project from participating in the competition." Xiao Wanli thought about it and said decisively.
"This..." Wu Sheng was surprised: "Is it appropriate?"
"There's nothing wrong with that." Xiao Wanli said calmly, "He should know the consequences of rejecting our Xiao family."
"When all his plans fail, he will come back to us for help."
"I understand." Wu Sheng nodded helplessly, turned around and walked out.
A hint of sarcasm appeared on Xiao Wanli's face: "Xiao Chen, I want you to know that if you leave our Xiao family, you are nothing."
"Xiao Chen, I've found a way to get the equipment you need." After leaving the box, Elder Wen said in a very kind tone, "But because of the sanctions, it's not a formal channel."
"It doesn't matter whether the channel is formal or not. As long as the equipment can be obtained, it doesn't matter if the price is a little higher." Xiao Chen said with a smile.
Yes, now Western countries have escalated their sanctions against China, and many seemingly ordinary devices are restricted.
This is also forcing China's industry to upgrade. This bionic robot competition is actually an industrial survey.
After all, many small private companies produce products that are no worse than those of some large manufacturers.
"Don't worry about the price. I have a good relationship with the other party, so just charge the normal price. The equipment will be in place within half a month," said Mr. Wen.
"Thank you, Mr. Wen." Xiao Chen was very grateful. This was a great help to him.
"Why are you being so polite to me? I heard that Xiao Wanli wants to invest in your company?" Old Wen stopped and asked.
"Yes." Xiao Chen nodded.
"How much money did he pay? How many shares does he want?" Mr. Wen asked again.
"Eighty million for 50% of my shares." Xiao Chen smiled.
"What a ridiculous request! He's really bold." Elder Wen snorted, "Xiao Wanli doesn't intend to be a human being anymore."
"But I rejected him. Even though the Xiao family is a wealthy and powerful family in Yanjing, they can't force anyone to buy or sell, right?" Xiao Chen said.
"It's not like he's forcing a sale. Xiao Wanli still has some dignity."
Elder Wen shook his head gently and said, "But he will definitely not let this matter go."
"And I heard that the bionic robots your company developed in the laboratory at Kyoto University are revolutionizing the industry."
"If I'm right, you're preparing for a competition in the near future. If you place impressively enough, your company will soar to fame and receive all kinds of support from the government."
"Yes, that's right." Xiao Chen nodded gently: "If nothing unexpected happens, in a week, we will get a ranking and attract attention."
"But have you ever thought about what if Xiao Wanli interferes and prevents you from participating in the competition?" said Old Wen.
"Would he be so despicable?" Xiao Chen was slightly stunned.
Although he had thought that someone would target him, he did not expect that this person was Xiao Wanli.
He just couldn't understand. He didn't have any deep hatred with him, right? Was he really that jealous of him?
"Haha, he is famous for his meanness. For the sake of profit, he is a typical person who doesn't care about his relatives." Old Wen said with a smile.
"But it doesn't matter. Although Yanjing is not the Wen family's territory, we, the Wen Mansion, are no pushovers either." Old Man Wen said in a deep voice.
"The Xiao family wants to touch you? Humph, they have to ask whether the Wen family in Shanghai agrees."
His implication was very clear: as long as I am here, no one can touch you.
Xiao Chen was somewhat moved, because he could see that when Old Wen said these words, he was expressing his true feelings, and they were not just polite remarks.
The feeling he gave me was that of an elder treating a younger person, just like his own family member.
"Mr. Wen." Xiao Chen finally made up his mind and asked about his inner confusion.
"What's wrong?" The gleam in Old Man Wen's eyes slowly faded.
"There is a question that has puzzled me for a long time, so I want to figure it out today." Xiao Chen looked up and met the kind eyes of Old Wen.
"Tell me, as long as I know it, I will definitely explain it to you." Old Man Wen nodded.
"What is our relationship?" Xiao Chen asked directly.
"Our relationship?" Elder Wen was slightly stunned, then he coughed twice: "Wen Yi and I both like you very much."
"And you also know that Wen Yi had a child before, about your age, but due to some accidents, he disappeared."
"So, when you see me, it's like seeing that child. You love me and treat me well, right?" Xiao Chen asked thoughtfully.
"Yes." Elder Wen nodded: "You are very good."
"Then I understand. Sorry, I was overthinking it." Xiao Chen smiled, but there was some bitterness in his smile.
He explained: "Because I am also separated from my parents, and when I see Aunt Wen and you, I feel very close to you."
"So..." Xiao Chen hesitated to speak, muttering, "I was just wondering, how could such a coincidence happen in this world?"
