He and Yuan Nan have been brothers for many years, so he naturally trusts him, but suddenly another person joins in, and things are not that simple.
"Hello, Brother Aimin." Wang Lei followed Yuan Nan and called out, with a hint of flattery in his smile.
Su Aimin was silent for a moment, "Please sit down and eat." There are some things that cannot be said in front of two children.
Su Qingyun naturally also noticed the undercurrents between the three people. In this kind of business, the fewer people involved, the better. One more person means more risk, so he didn't dare to take the risk.
Ji Yue ate his food without saying a word.
The meal was a little dull and no one spoke much. Yuan Nan wanted to say something but saw Su Aimin's slightly gloomy face and swallowed his words back.
After finishing the meal, knowing that they still had business to attend to, Su Qingyun said with a tactful look, "Dad, Ji Yue and I will leave first."
"Well, just come to the station according to the time." Su Aimin said.
"knew."
Ji Yue stood up and said, "Uncle Su, we'll leave first."
He went to the counter to pay, and Su Aimin saw him with his sharp eyes, "Hey, kid, what are you doing?"
Ji Yue turned around, his eyes serious, "Uncle Su, this meal should have been treated by our family."
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Su Aimin's face darkened. "You came out with me. I don't ask you to pay. Go away, Yunyun, take him away."
How could he be asked to pay for a meal with several adults?
"Yes, sir!" Su Qingyun reached out and grabbed Ji Yue's wrist, pulling him out of the hotel.
Seeing the two children walk away, Yuan Nan finally couldn't wait to speak, "Brother Aimin, I didn't mean that. I was thinking..."
"Is this the place to talk?" Su Aimin interrupted him. The waiter was standing just a few meters away. Was he worried that others wouldn't hear him? When did Yuan Nan become so reckless?
Yuan Nan was stunned for a moment before he suddenly realized that they were still outside. This state-owned restaurant was a public place with many people around.
He stopped talking immediately, and Wang Lei looked a little at a loss.
Su Aimin finished the last bite of his meal in silence. He paid the bill and said, "Let's go."
Yuan Nan and his brother followed him out the door. The three of them walked to the entrance of a secluded alley. Su Aimin glanced at Yuan Nan and said, "Come in with me."
Wang Lei stood at the entrance of the alley helplessly, watching the two people go in.
"Tell me, what do you mean?" Su Aimin said with a frown.
Yuan Nan swallowed hard and said carefully, "Brother Aimin, my cousin is having a hard time. His father passed away when he was a child, and now he lives with his mother, my second aunt. My second aunt is in poor health and needs to take medicine frequently. She can't do the little work in the countryside, so she came to me to ask me to help him earn some money."
"I didn't intend to involve him in our business. We're both investing money to make money. I just asked him to run errands for us and do some work. It's like we hired him to help. He's honest and will do whatever I ask him to do. He doesn't talk much and won't ask too many questions. Don't worry, I'll pay him for his wages."
"Is this a matter of wages?" Su Aimin said impatiently, "How many times have I told you that we're in a business where we're on the ropes? The fewer people involved, the better. You're letting him help out now and only charging him wages, but what about later? You also said he's short of money. What if he sees how much we're making and gets tempted to join in?"
"Should we let him join and take a share of the profits, taking the extra risk, or reject him? What if he holds a grudge and reports us? Have you considered these questions?"
Yuan Nan was stunned when he heard this. He stammered and couldn't speak. He thought he was just helping his cousin to earn some money and didn't think too much about it. But after Su Aimin said this, he felt a little scared.
"No...no way? He is my cousin." Yuan Nan said uncertainly.
"Cousin?" Su Aimin sneered. "This idea has led to many cases of brothers killing each other and fathers and sons turning against each other. What's more, you two cousins, Anan, the human heart is too complicated and cannot withstand the test."
Su Aimin sighed and thought about his wife Qin Ying's family. His father-in-law, such a powerful figure, was betrayed by his subordinates whom he treated as his own son. What else could he absolutely trust?
In this world, interests can always move people's hearts.
