Chapter 175 Are you threatening me?
Yan Ruo instantly thought of Xu Shaoyu's father who died in a car accident. It was just a competition in the business world, but the Zhao family wanted to kill him.
At that time, did the Zhao family ever think about leaving a way out for Xu Shaoyu and his father?
She raised her hand to cover the back of his hand, and when she looked up at Zhao Sujian, her eyes were colder than ever before.
"Mr. Zhao, are you sure you want to discuss this matter here in front of everyone?"
The Xu family and the Zhao family have never had any friendship. In fact, because they were competitors, the relationship between the two families was quite tense for a few years.
Such a big thing happened to the Zhao family recently, which attracted the attention of almost everyone in North City.
Everyone knows that Xu Shaoyu was behind the Zhao family's crisis this time.
Now that Zhao Sujian came over, everyone naturally wanted to know what they were talking about.
Zhao Sujian turned her head and glanced around. Many people were looking at her vaguely, and she couldn't help but pursed her lips.
"Sorry to bother you. I'll come back to see Mr. Xu after the dinner."
Zhao Sujian acted decisively. After he finished speaking, he turned around and left, preparing to find a place to wait for the dinner to end.
Young Master Li was stunned for a moment before he reacted and smiled awkwardly at a few people.
"Sorry to bother you."
After saying that, he quickly got into the crowd, but was caught outside by President Li and scolded after a while.
Young Master Li lowered his head, appearing obedient on the surface, but inwardly he was very dissatisfied, especially when he turned his head and saw Li Zheng standing next to his father.
There was a flash of resentment in his eyes.
On an occasion like today, there was no room for laziness. After the two of them left, Xu Shaoyu and the other two also stood up and left, heading towards the crowd.
Originally, Yan Ruo wanted to sit down and have some snacks, or just laze around for a while. After all, although she knew many of the people present, they were all people she had met at work before, so she had no personal relationship with them.
I didn't expect Grandma Xu to send someone to look for her.
And in the second half of the dinner, he took her with him throughout the whole process and personally introduced her to people he knew.
Those who can be personally entertained by Grandma Xu are either of the same generation as Grandma Xu or have high enough status and important enough influence.
Yan Ruo had to be extremely alert and show the same attitude as when she worked at Xu's.
Fortunately, although everyone was a little surprised, they were all polite to her for Grandma Xu's sake.
She just needs to go up and say hello when Grandma Xu introduces her, then keep smiling the whole time and say a few words when she is Cueed.
Even so, after one round, my face inevitably became stiff from smiling.
Zhou Siyu looked at Yun Zhinian cautiously.
"Mr. Xu, what do you mean? He's clearly wearing the tie you gave him. And for such an important occasion today, he actually brought another woman with him."
"It seems that Grandpa Xu and Grandma Xu have already recognized her."
"Dating one over there, hanging out with another over here. I never thought that Xu Shaoyu, who was rumored to be a clean man, would actually be a scumbag."
Yun Zhinian's expression paused slightly, and a dark look flashed across his eyes.
When he looked at Zhou Siyu, his expression returned to normal and he explained in a gentle voice, "Who said I was the one who gave Mr. Xu the tie he was wearing today?"
Zhou Siyu's face was full of question marks. "Didn't you buy that yesterday?"
"No. I bought the one yesterday and gave it to my cousin. I didn't expect you to misunderstand."
"Ah? So that's how it is." Zhou Siyu scratched her nose embarrassedly, wishing she could swallow back what she had just said.
The last part of the dinner was to raise funds for charity.
Those present were all prominent figures in North City, and they would not be stingy in their spending for the sake of the Xu family.
At this moment, money is just a string of numbers.
Even though he had seen it many times, Yan Ruo still couldn't help but be amazed and couldn't control his desire to hate the rich.
The dinner was finally concluded successfully after the guests left one after another.
Mr. Xu and Mrs. Xu are old, so they have already gone to another villa in the manor to rest and will return to the old house tomorrow.
As good friends, Su Yue and Song Yichuan naturally stayed until the end.
"Organizing this kind of event is really more tiring than attending a meeting at work." Su Yue yawned loudly. "Finally, I can go back to sleep."
Song Yichuan glanced at Zhao Sujian at the door and said, "There is still one thing that has not been resolved."
Su Yue walked out slowly and looked at the lonely Zhao Sujian. "Why are you alone? Where is your cousin, Young Master Li?"
Zhao Sujian pursed his lips, looking somewhat dejected. "He went back first because of something."
Su Yue pursed his lips, "I thought he valued your Zhao family so much? But he still succumbed to reality."
Zhao Sujian opened his mouth, but in the end said nothing, just smiled helplessly.
Just then Xu Shaoyu walked out, and Zhao Sujian immediately stepped forward with a serious tone.
"Mr. Xu, I know this is a bit unreasonable. But the Zhao family owns many businesses. If they suddenly collapse, it won't just be the Zhao family that will suffer losses, but also the many ordinary employees who work in the Zhao family's companies. Please be merciful."
"Heh~" Xu Shaoyu sneered, "Are you trying to threaten me, or blackmail me?"
"I was just telling the truth, I didn't mean anything by it."
"Really?" Xu Shaoyu's face was as gloomy as water, and his tone was cold. His previous anger seemed like an illusion.
Xu Shaoyu didn't say anything after that. He looked up at the pitch-black night sky, emotions surging in his eyes, and no one knew what he was thinking.
Su Yue and Song Yichuan stood not far away, just to prevent Zhao Sujian from doing anything bad to Xu Shaoyu.
He obviously had no intention of getting involved in this matter.
Yan Ruo looked at Xu Shaoyu with some worry. She had heard a long time ago that Xu Shaoyu had the best relationship with his father since childhood.
The Zhao family first killed his father, and then wanted to kill him. In fact, no matter how he wanted to retaliate, it would not be too much.
Each of them was thinking about their own things and no one spoke. The space suddenly fell into dead silence.
It was unknown how long it took before Xu Shaoyu withdrew his gaze and spoke in a very cold tone.
"Zhao Sujian?"
Zhao Sujian nodded quickly, "Yes, Mr. Xu. I know that the Zhao family deserves the fate they have now. Nothing Mr. Xu can do is too much."
"I just hope that Mr. Xu, for the sake of countless ordinary employees, won't kill me."
Xu Shaoyu sneered, "That's a very high-sounding statement. If the Zhao family collapses, other companies will naturally rise. Those ordinary employees won't be able to make a living anywhere."
"Mr. Xu is right." Zhao Sujian pinched his numb fingers and smiled bitterly.
"But this will take time to transition. Many ordinary people rely on their monthly salary to pay off their mortgages and car loans. Once they lose their job, they will lose their income and fall into financial difficulties."
It was not until this time that Xu Shaoyu's gaze fell on Zhao Sujian.
"From what I know, your relationship with Zhao Hongyi wasn't good. Even your father died of depression because he was suppressed by Zhao Hongyi and forced into a desperate situation."
"My relationship with my uncle is indeed not good. To be exact, my uncle regards me as a thorn in his side." Zhao Sujian had a complicated expression.
"But who made me have the surname Zhao? I can't bear to watch the Zhao family disappear from North City."
