Chapter 659 The heroine's best mother (6)(1/2)
Yu Er rattled off a long list of names. Suddenly, he came to his senses——
"No! Chuanyu, why are you asking these questions? Are you also -" Falling in love with an opera singer?
Nowadays, we can’t say that everyone is a fan of entertainment, but for wives and young men from wealthy families, it is completely normal for them to support an actor.
However, Yu Er always felt that such a thing had nothing to do with Zhao Chuanyu.
First of all, Zhao Chuanyu is still young, almost thirteen years old, and still a half-grown girl.
Even though influenced by the elders in the family, I have loved going to the theater since I was a child, but I would not be so "precocious" in following famous actors from various theater troupes.
Secondly, Yu Er knew very well that although he and Zhao Chuanyu were classmates, they were not the same kind of people.
Yu Er is the youngest son in the family. He does not have the burden of inheriting the family business. He has been pampered by his parents and elder brothers since he was a child. He eats, drinks and plays, and is proficient in all kinds of enjoyment.
As for Zhao Chuanyu, in Yu Er's opinion, just like his eldest brother, he was raised as an heir by his family.
From the time he could speak, he received elite education.
In their hearts, family business and inheritance are more important than anything else.
Personal preferences and so on were put aside.
Therefore, Yu Er just said that sentence and swallowed it back before he finished speaking.
"Impossible! How could you be obsessed with singing?"
This is like saying that his majestic eldest brother likes to read novels and bet on horse races.
They don’t match at all, okay?!
"..." Zhao Chuanyu rolled his eyes at Yu Er, with a look of contempt on his childish face that said, "You're still smart."
Yu Er rubbed his nose and said somewhat sarcastically, "What, I, I'm just curious."
"You, Miss Zhao, have never been exposed to these things, but you suddenly came to me to ask about the theater troupe. I must have misunderstood!"
Yu Er is one year older than Zhao Chuanyu and is still a boy.
In a patriarchal society, a young master like him who comes from a wealthy family would not give in to a woman.
However, some people are born with strong personal charm.
Regardless of age or gender, if you get along with her for a long time, you will involuntarily want to surrender to her.
Yu Er and Zhao Chuanyu have been classmates for several years, but they are not from the same world.
But because of some coincidences, we became more friends than classmates.
With deeper contact, Yu Er was gradually attracted by Zhao Chuanyu's personal charm.
Involuntarily, Yu Er became Zhao Chuanyu's little follower.
Therefore, now that he was despised by Zhao Chuanyu, Yu Er would not be angry, but instead kept smiling.
"There is nothing to misunderstand. I just suddenly found these characters quite interesting!"
Zhao Chuanyu felt better when he saw Yu Er giggle.
She casually gave a reason and continued talking to Yu Er about other things.
"Father Smith's place, it's not convenient for me to go there often, please help me take care of it!"
Zhao Chuanyu mentioned business and lowered his voice involuntarily.
"no problem!"
Yu Er is definitely an excellent little follower. He will only obey the orders given by his boss and will never question them.
Even if he doesn't understand it in his heart.
For example, that Smith was just the priest of a small shabby church, but Zhao Chuanyu valued him very much.
Normally, it was just a matter of sending him some donations or something, but now that Zhao Chuanyu was in dire straits, he still didn't forget to take care of this foreign devil.
As both members of the upper class circle in Fucheng, Yu Er naturally knew what happened to the Zhao family——
Mr. Zhao suddenly passed away, and his son-in-law Huo Mingting quickly fell out of favor. Not only did he give birth to an illegitimate child, but he also took him into the Zhao family.
In addition, he also asked Zhao Chuanyu to change his surname back to Huo, clearly intending to embezzle the Zhao family's property.
Zhao Chuanyu has been socializing with Mr. Zhao since he was a child. Many families do not recognize that a woman can bear the family business.
However, they can understand Mr. Zhao's helplessness.
What happened to my granddaughter?
Even if she is a granddaughter, with the blood of the Zhao family flowing through her body, it is better than taking advantage of outsiders.
Mr. Zhao used to work alone in Fucheng and built up a huge family fortune through hard work.
He has no clan, no close relatives, and no other descendants except an only daughter.
Those old men put themselves in Mr. Zhao's situation, and they all felt that if they were Mr. Zhao, they would also marry their daughter, and then give birth to a grandson to inherit the Zhao family.
Therefore, seeing that Mr. Zhao really regarded his granddaughter as the heir of the Zhao family, a group of wealthy businessmen slowly accepted it.
Although Zhao Chuanyu is a girl and young, her abilities are not weak.
At the age of eleven or twelve, he was able to run a shop independently and also help Mr. Zhao with suggestions.
She relied on her relationship with Yu Er's classmates to successfully get the Zhao family into the Yu family.
Who is the Yu family?
More than ten years ago, it might not have been so prominent.
But as Mr. Yu joined the army, he had tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, and he became a powerful force. The Yu family also became one of the best in the city!
As for the Zhao family, although they are wealthy, they are just businessmen after all.
Since ancient times, people have not fought with officials, and wealthy businessmen have been the fat sheep raised by those in power.
Especially in today's troubled times, those powerful men with soldiers and horses are like bandits.
The Zhao family joined the Yu family and relied on the Yu family's protection to continue doing business smoothly in Fucheng.
Of course, the Yu family does not serve as backers for nothing.
Under Zhao Chuanyu's persuasion, Mr. Zhao spent a quarter of his family wealth to support the Yu family in continuing to recruit troops.
The two families have become an alliance of interests, helping each other and developing together.
And the person who made all this happen is just a little girl of eleven or twelve years old!
Those wealthy businessmen, after vaguely hearing the inside information, couldn't help but sigh: "He is indeed a person trained by Mr. Zhao!"
Even if she is a girl, she is much better than her unsatisfactory son.
At this level, gender is no longer the only shackle, ability is the most critical.
pity--
Mr. Zhao suddenly passed away before the tiger cubs he had trained personally could grow up.
And his only daughter is so good that it leaves people speechless.
He obviously had a handful of good cards, but he was beaten to pieces.
It was just that she herself changed from the eldest lady who was supposed to control everything to a housewife who relied on men. She also harmed Zhao Chuanyu, her own daughter.
In the past year, the upper class in Fucheng had really seen enough of the Zhao family's jokes.
The adopted son-in-law turned against the guest, and the heir recognized by Mr. Zhao personally had his wings broken by his own mother and the adopted son-in-law.
"Oh, the Zhao family is going to be defeated!"
"Old Zhao is very shrewd and can be considered good at training people, but how could he raise such a daughter?"
Faced with all the news coming out of the Zhao family, even Mr. Zhao's opponents couldn't help but sigh for him.
Yu Er is Zhao Chuanyu's little follower, and he has long identified this boss.
Knowing that she was not having a good life in the past year, I was very worried.
Gu Mian
Yu Er believes that her boss is not someone who can be easily defeated, but she is still young after all, and it is her biological father who suppresses her!
Filial piety is as big as a mountain, so Zhao Chuanyu has no chance of winning against Huo Mingting.
Now, this should be the most difficult time for Zhao Chuanyu.
Yu Er felt that if he were the boss, he would definitely not be able to hold on.
As a result, not only did my boss not collapse or become decadent, but he was still able to find out about the famous actors in the troupe, and now he even took care of a foreign devil!
As smart and sharp as Zhao Chuanyu, he naturally saw the confusion in Yu Er's eyes.
However, she didn't explain much.
The line about Father Smith was just a foreshadowing for her, and she was not entirely sure whether this person would be useful.
However, investing in advance definitely casts a wide net.
