Chapter 120 Nothing is missing
The atmosphere became noticeably more serious.
Madam Jiang slowly suppressed her smile and turned to look at him with a scrutinizing gaze.
"Has Chairman Xu noticed that you've lost some of your usual rationality?"
Xu Chi smiled slightly: "Who knows?"
"Perhaps so... but what does it matter?"
"Business is a numbers game, a rhetoric game, but this is not a business game. The other side is neither my opponent nor an ally who needs my support."
He didn't seem to care much: "I don't need to use so-called rationality for the time being."
After saying that, he nodded and walked straight into the concert hall with the flowers in his hand.
Behind her, the butler stepped forward and bowed: "Madam."
As she spoke, she couldn't help but look at that slender figure from behind.
"...This Chairman Xu is somewhat different from what has been rumored."
The butler silently grumbled to himself, "He seems to have become a bit too aggressive."
Madam Jiang smiled and said, "This child, who is so young and in charge of power, will inevitably exude some domineering aura even if he holds back."
Even when talking to her, it's no exception.
Interestingly, when facing that little girl, he always treated her with tolerance or a slightly lower attitude.
...No wonder he was angry.
The butler couldn't help but ask, "So why were you testing that child just now?"
Madam Jiang's gaze suddenly turned deep and profound.
She asked casually, "Do you think this child, with further training, would be suitable to help me out?"
The butler looked up in shock for a moment: "You..."
"How...how could you think that?!"
The old lady suddenly became a little unhappy: "What's wrong with me thinking this way?"
Butler: "But she...she's someone else's child..."
Because of the accident years ago, the old lady had no children, and she has been searching for a new heir all these years.
Unfortunately, few of the collateral branches were outstanding; maintaining the status quo was difficult enough, let alone expanding their territory.
So she turned her attention to the children of the company's shareholders, but unsurprisingly, she didn't choose any of them.
The selection of an heir is based on two factors: bloodline and shared interests.
But that child has neither.
The old lady was even more unhappy: "Then just assume I want to snatch a child and take him home, okay?"
"I'm a lonely old woman who's never seen my grandchildren in my entire life. It's not normal for me to finally find a child I like and want to take him home!"
housekeeper:……
The butler was speechless for a moment.
Madam Jiang sighed: "Liqing, I am seventy-five years old this year, and I will be going to see my children in a few years. I need to find someone to entrust these things I can't let go of."
The butler's eyes reddened slightly: "...Madam."
The old lady fell silent for a moment, then waved her hand casually: "Alright, alright, it's just a joke. It depends on whether the person is willing, right?"
"Let's drive."
...
In the concert hall, the audience was already seated, eagerly awaiting the curtain to be drawn back on stage.
Unbeknownst to them, a sudden crisis had just been quietly averted.
Tu Yao, who resolved the crisis, sat in the front row with the clearest view, fiddling with a small video camera in her hand.
"I'm going to record my second brother and Mr. Cormier in a little while. I have to record the whole thing, so I'll be very busy."
Tu Chaoxi raised an eyebrow: "So?"
Tu Yao took out a cell phone from her backpack. "Hey buddy, this is for you."
"You'll be in charge of giving..."
Before she could finish speaking, Xu Chi arrived with flowers.
Tu Yao seemed to realize something and snatched the phone back.
Lin Yue: ?
The next second, a bouquet of bright flowers was thrust into my hand.
"The young man is in charge of delivering flowers to the second brother!"
Then he handed the camera and phone to Tu Chaoxi and Xu Chi: "Big Brother and Little Chi, take a picture!"
...
Backstage, after successfully rehearsing several times, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Song Zhibang put away his violin, scratched his head, walked over and couldn't help but say, "Nan Ke, you've had a tough month."
He sighed, "If only we had stood up sooner."
Nan Ke smiled and shook his head: "No, you've come at just the right time."
Song Zhibang was puzzled: "Just right?"
"Yes, just right."
Nan Ke said softly, "So far, friends, ideals, family, I have..."
As if he had thought of something, he shook his head again.
"Only one family member is missing."
But it doesn't matter. His encounter with Tu Yao and Tu Chaoxi made him believe that they would meet again someday.
There will come a day like this...
Behind the curtain, two young men were secretly watching the audience in the front row.
"Nan Ke, I saw Teacher Tu and my sister! My sister is taking things out of her bag."
"Wow, she's so well-prepared! She even took out a camera!"
Nan Ke couldn't help but laugh: "In the afternoon, I saw her secretly putting something into her bag."
"By the way, besides Teacher Tu and my sister, who are the other two?"
Nan Ke pressed the piano keys, making the final tuning, and replied, "They are all her good friends."
"As you've seen the show, the one wearing the black shirt is Koike."
"oh……"
A group of people suddenly realized: "What about the other one?"
Nan Ke continued, "The other one is her new friend, named Lin Yue."
"Lin Yue? Never heard of that name,"
"He's holding a bouquet of flowers! And he's sitting so upright."
"This bouquet of flowers is for Nan Ke, isn't it?"
"My sister is really something, she made use of everyone, three of them were recording videos and taking photos, and one was delivering flowers."
As soon as he finished speaking, Nan Ke's hand, which was adjusting the tone, suddenly paused.
He slowly raised his head.
"……What?"
The young men were taken aback, then repeated, "I said my sister used it on everyone—three videos and one flower delivery."
Nan Ke remained calm. "No, the sentence above."
"Oh, these flowers are for you."
Nan Ke suddenly stood up, walked straight to the curtain, reached out his hand, paused, and pulled it open to take a look.
There were four people sitting in the very center of the front row.
Just as his friends said, Tu Chaoxi, Tu Yao, and Xu Chi each had their own tasks and were preparing to take photos.
The remaining boy, with a dark complexion, was sitting upright in his seat.
In his arms, he held a bouquet of bright flowers.
He had a solemn expression, spoke little, and there was a noticeable stiffness in his movements as he gathered the flowers.
...
Nan Ke suddenly laughed.
He murmured, "...No, that's not right."
"I misspoke."
Behind him, Song Zhibang also came over and asked, "What's wrong?"
Nan Ke wiped away a tear that had fallen and smiled:
"Nothing is missing anymore."
"...I have family, friends, and ideals."
"Come up on stage!"
