Chapter 125: Taking Advantage of the Fire
Seeing the two chatting, Mr. Xu put on his headphones and lay down on a chair: "Hey, I'm going to take a break. You young people can chat by yourselves. Call me when you're here."
After saying that, he closed his eyes.
Xiahou Yu, who was standing by, looked at the headphones still connected to his computer and said nothing.
Chi Wan took the initiative to ask him: "By the way, Xiahou, your company also does software development, right? Is there any protection software that can be used on mobile phones to prevent phones from being hijacked?"
Xiahou Yu's expression became serious when he heard this: "What happened to your phone? Is someone eavesdropping?"
Chi Wan waved her hands quickly, "No, no, it's just that I heard today that a classmate's parents had their phone hijacked by spam text messages and lost a lot of money. Aren't my parents traveling abroad right now? I'm worried that they've been scammed too."
Xiahou Yu nodded: "Well, our company has indeed developed a small program that can block certain malicious attacks. But the installation file is not on hand. I will find you when I get back and help you install it."
On the other side of the computer, the assistant who hadn't had time to cut off the communication heard Xiahou Yu's words and was full of questions: Let's not talk about the fact that this internal software is never open to the public. This is obviously a program written by the boss himself. Why would he need to find the installation file later...
But as an assistant, you don't need to ask too much about your boss's affairs. He must have his reasons for doing so, so just obey him.
On the other hand, Xiahou Yu suddenly mentioned the jade token: "Speaking of which, the elder I gave the jade token to last time was also at today's dinner. If it weren't for you, my company would have lost a large amount of investment."
Chi Wan was a little surprised: "It's just a jade token, how can it have such great power?"
Although the jade plaque is of very good quality, for some wealthy families, who can't come up with a few pieces of stuff to keep the place together? A single jade plaque, even if it is expensive, would not have such a great effect.
Xiahou Yu nodded seriously and said, "The grandson of the elder I wanted to attract investment from happened to be ill. It is said that the abbot of Fuguang Temple personally prayed for him and asked the elder to find a jade plaque of high quality for him and place it in the temple for worship for a period of time to calm his fate.
"You know, some noble families do believe in this, so the jade market at that time was almost driven up by them. However, the jade plaques sent were all rejected by the host, saying that there was no fate."
Hearing this, Chi Wan finally couldn't help laughing out loud: "Fate... is indeed quite in line with the character setting of a host."
But it’s just a jade token from the end of the world, what kind of fate can it have? It can't be that he was intimidated by murderous intent, right?
Hearing Chi Wan's complaints, Xiahou Yu couldn't help but smile and said, "Anyway, it's just a matter of catering to each other's needs. It's also true that your jade token helped me a lot, so if there's anything you can do with me in the future, I'll be at your disposal at any time."
Chi Wan blinked: "It's okay to make money from a jade token, but can it be exchanged for a favor from the president? Remember to call me next time for such a good thing~"
Xiahou Yu glanced at Chi Wan and said meaningfully, "I'm afraid some people won't appreciate this kind of good thing."
Chi Wan didn't understand what Xiahou Yu was saying at first, and subconsciously asked, "What? How could I refuse such a blood-and-tears-making thing?"
Xiahou Yu smiled and shook his head. The car had unknowingly stopped at the door of the destination. After the driver opened the door, he got out of the car first.
When he was helping Chi Wan get off the car, he said, "Wan Wan, I believe you have your own way to deal with He Lingfeng. But I also hope you know that you are not alone. You don't have to confront someone like He Lingfeng head-on."
Chi Wan didn't expect that Xiahou Yu was talking about He Lingfeng.
In fact, she had never thought of bothering Zhou Huaijin or Xiahou Yu about this matter, because she felt that her friendship with them was far from worthy of them confronting the He family over it.
After all, no matter what the He family is like, He Lingfeng is ultimately the heir that He Yunzhen favors in this generation.
If Zhou Huaijin and Xiahou Yu really took action against He Lingfeng because of this, then it would not just be the grudge between her and He Lingfeng that would be involved.
Chi Wan just wondered what merit or ability he had to cause the Zhou family, the Xiahou family, and the He family to come against each other?
Therefore, when she heard Xiahou Yu's words, she was rarely speechless.
At this time, Mr. Xu also slowly got out of the car, and it was unknown whether he heard the conversation between the two. But when he passed by the two, he patted Xiahou Yu and Chi Wan on the shoulders and said, "Young people should be energetic and not look ahead or behind. If the sky falls, you still have your family to support you."
After saying that, without waiting for them, he walked straight towards the door with his hands behind his back.
Xiahou Yu also instantly understood what his grandfather meant. He took Chi Wan to the reserved private room and whispered, "Wan Wan, you don't have to worry about any trouble if I interfere.
"Honestly speaking, the existence of their family is no different from a cancer. Even though the old lady has been focusing on whitewashing herself over the years, it is not so easy to cut off some businesses.
"In the beginning, we were able to tolerate their presence in Central China simply for the sake of their family's reputation. Now, everyone is pushing down on them. I don't consider myself a good person. This is probably called... taking advantage of someone's misfortune."
Chi Wan naturally understood that these were just excuses for Xiahou Yu to help her.
Although Chi Yuanshan's business was not very big at the beginning, Chi Wan was still influenced by him.
No matter what, a lean camel is still bigger than a horse. Precisely because of the He family's not-so-clean history of making a fortune, most serious business people are actually unwilling to have anything to do with them.
Not to mention taking the initiative to approach them and become their enemy.
It is true that the methods used by the He family are very insidious. As a businessman, who would want to have an enemy who does things by any means necessary?
Therefore, Chi Wan just listened quietly, and then said to Xiahou Yu sincerely: "Aren't you a good person? In my eyes, you are almost shining with merits and virtues!"
Seeing Xiahou Yu looking helpless and wanting to say something, Chi Wan interrupted with a smile: "I know~ If there is something I can't handle, I will definitely ask the president for help. However, if you have this kind of business that not only pays but also gives favors, you must take me with you."
Xiahou Yu really had no idea what to do with Chi Wan, who was so stubborn that he sighed, "Forget it. I've always felt that you have great ideas since the first time I saw you."
But he didn't expect that Chi Wan's character was even more stubborn than he imagined.
Chi Wan took this as a compliment and followed Xia Houyu into the private room with a smile.
Although it is called a private room, it is actually no different from a small banquet hall, except that the guests inside are basically old men and women who are about the same age as Mr. Xu.
As they watched the two of them walk in, the smiles on everyone's faces were filled with kindness and goodwill.
