It was rare for Yitai's uncle to be so down-to-earth, and among Yitai's brothers, besides his nephew, he was most fond of Yimu.
Compared to the eldest son of the Yi family, who gradually became arrogant, there was also the incompetent second son.
The third son of the Yi family, who came from studying abroad, has secured a multi-million dollar order as soon as he joined the company; he is simply outstanding.
Even though there were rumors that the Third Young Master was not liked by the Old Master.
But the company was founded by the old man himself, and he certainly knows perfectly well who the best successor is.
Uncle Yitai had high hopes for Yimu's potential and intended to develop a closer relationship with him, and Yitai was the link between them.
Yi Mu could also tell that the big shot on the other side was interested in making connections, which was a good thing for him.
Since ancient times, officials and merchants have been inseparable. Many things cannot be done without money, and many things cannot be done without power.
Yi Mu and his uncle Yi Tai sat opposite each other, with Yi Tai sitting between them. Yi Tai's mind was completely elsewhere, not on their conversation or the table, but on staring at Yi Mu.
He's usually pretty oblivious, but he felt that Yi Mu had changed a bit since he came back.
He couldn't quite put his finger on what exactly it was, but his older brother used to be very cold, but now he has a smile on his face.
Yi Mu was a man of deep thoughts from a young age; he lacked expression, and all his smiles were premeditated.
Yi Mu wasn't very familiar with his uncle, so why did he have that expression on his face? Even if it was gratitude, it seemed a bit too much.
Another possibility is that he was in a particularly good mood?
I heard he went to the countryside a while ago. What good things could happen in such a run-down place?
Yitai looked preoccupied.
Seeing him like this, his uncle joked, "I've noticed you look preoccupied ever since you came in. What's wrong? Do you have a crush on a girl? Are you dating?"
Without a second thought, Yitai denied it: "How could I possibly like a female classmate!"
Upon hearing this, both his uncle and Yi Mu were taken aback.
Yitai almost blurted out his little secret. He let out a short sigh, unhurried and somewhat nonchalant.
"I'm a senior in high school this year, why would I be dating? It would interfere with my studies."
Yi Mu remained noncommittal, while his uncle scoffed.
"You're supposed to be studying? You're out hanging out with those shady characters all day, coming home late at night. I've told you so many times not to hang out with those people, but you never listen."
"Yimu, you should try to persuade him when you have time."
Yi Mu didn't mean to offer any advice.
If Yi Tai had been born into an ordinary family, it would have been fine. But in a wealthy family like the Yi family, where people have never had to worry about food or drink for generations, even if he lived a life of debauchery, someone would still take care of him.
Moreover, in the original owner's opinion, Yitai was very smart. Some people are not interested in school; they have special skills and can make a name for themselves.
As the meal was nearing its end, Yitai's uncle was called away by a phone call.
Yi Mu had been drinking and couldn't drive, so he wanted to find a designated driver.
Yitai said no need: "I just got my driver's license last month. If you trust me, I'll drive."
"Drive slowly, don't rush."
Yi Mu didn't know that Yi Tai would go to a racetrack with that group of princelings every weekend to race cars; his skills were good enough to drive a race car.
On the way home, Yitai subtly tried to find out what Yimu had done on his trip.
If it were any other brother, and Yitai asked him that question, they would definitely suspect his motives.
But Yi Mu wouldn't.
He was in a good mood, firstly because of Xie Tuoyu, and secondly because he had successfully acquired the land.
Yi Mu has no plans to come out yet, so he concealed Xie Tuoyu's existence and only told Yi Tai that he had landed a big case this time, and the future rewards would be substantial.
Yitai had no interest in the position of heir; he knew of Yimu's ambition, so he was genuinely happy for him.
