Not long after, a young man in a suit and leather shoes walked into the lobby of the villa.
This young man is Song Xuan, a descendant of the Song family.
"Mr. Xiao, how are you doing?"
Song Xuan walked up to Mr. Xiao and bowed to the old man with great respect.
Although the Song family is the richest man in Jiangzhou City, the Xiao family is a long-established family in Jiangzhou.
During the war years, there were several generals.
The Xiao family is not only well-connected in Jiangzhou, but also in the entire Jiangnan Province, far beyond what a business family like the Song family can compare with.
"Well, hello, nephew Song Xian."
Mr. Xiao nodded and smiled, pointed to the sofa next to him and said, "Please sit down."
"Thank you, Mr. Xiao."
Song Xuan thanked him and then sat on the sofa.
"Old classmate, there is tea on the coffee table. If you want to drink it, you can pour it yourself. Don't be polite."
Xiao Linger's treatment of Song Xuan was obviously not that caring for Hong Yu, and he was unwilling to pour the tea himself.
"Okay, Ling'er."
Song Xuan was very beautiful in his heart, and the eyes he looked at Xiao Ling'er were full of tenderness and love.
On the side, Hong Yu naturally noticed.
I thought to myself that this Mr. Song seems to be interested in sister Ling'er.
"Song Xuan, the wild ginseng you want is on the coffee table. Look, is the year correct?" Xiao Linger pointed to the century-old wild ginseng on the coffee table.
Song Xuan looked intently at the wooden box on the coffee table, and his eyes suddenly lit up.
Before that, he consulted about this century-old wild ginseng in some large drug stores in Jiangzhou City.
Compared with the wild ginseng that is more than a hundred years old in the drug store, it is far different from the wild ginseng in front of you.
Just the number of roots and spiral patterns is not the same level.
Not to mention the thickness of the main root.
'Good stuff, definitely more than two hundred years old.'
'It seems that I am the first to resuscitate my grandfather's body this time. I will definitely be able to surpass other Song family members and successfully become the general manager of the Song family group.'
Song Xuan chuckled in his heart and was very excited.
But soon, he put away his excitement, stood up and thanked Xiao Ling'er:
"Ling'er, thank you for finding such an old wild ginseng for me."
Xiao Ling'er waved her hand and said, "You're welcome. After all, we are classmates, so it's only right to help."
Song Xuan said: "Ling'er, that's impossible. Friendship is friendship, and gratitude is gratitude."
With that said, he took out a gift box from his pocket and handed it to Xiao Ling'er: "Ling'er, this is a little bit of my heart, please accept it."
Xiao Ling'er opened it and saw that it was a jade hairpin, which was quite valuable. She declined and said, "Song Xuan, I can't have this. It's too valuable."
Song Xuan smiled and said: "Compared to the wild ginseng you found for me, Ling'er, this hosta is nothing. Just accept it quickly, or I won't be able to ask you for help next time."
Speaking of this, Xiao Ling'er had no choice but to accept it and said: "Okay, I'll just accept it, and you should sit down quickly."
Seeing Xiao Linger accepting his gift, Song Xuan smiled happily and sat on the sofa again.
At this time, he suddenly noticed Hong Yu sitting next to him.
After taking a look at it, I found that I didn't recognize him, and the clothes were very shabby, so I couldn't help but curiously asked:
"Mr. Xiao, Ling'er, who is this gentleman?"
Mr. Xiao introduced: "Nephew Song, this is my distinguished guest of the Xiao family, Mr. Hong Yuhong."
After hearing that Hong Yu was an honored guest of the Xiao family, Song Xuan naturally did not dare to look down upon him.
After all, those who can be the distinguished guests of the Xiao family are definitely not ordinary people.
Maybe he was a young man from a provincial capital who dressed like this to pretend to be low-key.
"Mr. Hong, it's a pleasure to meet you. I'm with Song Xuan of the Song family in Jiangzhou."
Song Xuan stood up, bowed his hands towards Hong Yu, and introduced himself to his home.
Hong Yu was also very polite. He stood up and said, "Mr. Song, you're welcome. I'm not a young man. Just call me Xiaoyu."
Song Xuan looked slightly startled.
He originally thought that after he announced his family status, Hong Yu would also report his family status.
This is the most basic way of self-introduction among upper-class circles and children from rich families.
Who knows, the other party will not play according to the routine.
However, judging from his personality, he is quite approachable.
Song Xuan had no intention of continuing to ask about Hong Yu's details, otherwise it would seem too deliberate, and said with a smile:
"In that case, I will ask you to call Mr. Hong my brother Xiaoyu."
"Brother Xiaoyu, if you don't mind, I, Brother Song, will be fine."
"Hello, Brother Song." Hong Yu didn't mind at all. The other person did look two or three years older than him.
Moreover, I took more than 10 million from the other party before, which was quite embarrassing.
"By the way, old classmate, I forgot to introduce you just now. The century-old wild ginseng you asked me to buy belongs to brother Xiaoyu." Xiao Ling'er interrupted.
"Oh, is it so?"
Song Xuan was obviously shocked, thinking that Hong Yu's family must be in the medicinal business.
Moreover, the business must be huge.
After all, being able to produce wild ginseng that is more than two hundred years old is enough to prove the strength of Hong Yu's family.
Ordinary traditional Chinese medicine shops don't have wild ginseng that is so old.
But in the provincial capital, there seems to be no big family named Hong who is engaged in the medicinal materials business.
This made Song Xuan a little confused. Could it be that he was from another province?
Xiao Ling'er said: "Of course, you don't know that brother Xiaoyu sold this wild ginseng to me just for my sake."
"Otherwise, it will be bought by others at a higher price."
"So, no matter what, you have to compensate Brother Xiaoyu a little more..."
Just now I learned from my grandpa that Hong Yu’s wild ginseng was sold for a low price. The little girl felt very regretful and blamed herself.
If I seize the opportunity now, I will naturally not let it go and immediately help Hong Yu strive for more benefits.
Hong Yu listened, feeling a little embarrassed.
I thought to myself: My sister Ling'er, this Mr. Song is your old classmate. Even if his family is rich, is it bad to rip him off like this?
However, when Song Xuan heard this, he not only felt uncomfortable, but also felt happy, as sweet as eating honey.
It turns out... Ling'er went to such great lengths to help me buy this wild ginseng, and even sold me such a huge favor.
He said energetically: "Ling'er, don't worry, I will definitely compensate brother Xiaoyu."
"How about...I will add two hundred...no, add three million to the original amount, and the total will be fifteen million, which is a better number."
Xiao Linger looked at Hong Yu and said, "Brother Xiaoyu, what do you think?"
What can Hong Yu say?
Wouldn't it be better not to take the money delivered to your door?
As for asking for more, he wasn't so evil-minded, so he nodded and said, "Thank you so much, Brother Song."
"Hey, thank you for anything, you should." Song Xuan waved his hand and smiled.
With Hong Yu's wild ginseng, he has great hope of becoming the general manager of the Song Group.
If he can really take office smoothly, this mere three million will be nothing at all.
Later, Song Xuan took out his mobile phone, transferred three million to Hong Yu's card, and casually added Hong Yu's WeChat account.
After chatting for a few more words, Hong Yu stood up and said goodbye: "Mr. Xiao, Sister Ling'er, it's time for me to leave."
Mr. Xiao said: "Xiaoyu, it's lunch time, why don't you leave after lunch."
Xiao Ling'er also tried her best to persuade him to stay: "Brother Xiaoyu, grandpa is right, even if you have urgent things to do, you can't skip eating, right?"
"People are like iron, and food is like steel. If you don't eat one meal, you will be hungry."
It's hard to refuse such hospitality, so Hong Yu couldn't put it off: "Okay then."
Hearing Hong Yu's agreement, Xiao Linger said happily: "Brother Xiaoyu, what kind of food do you like to eat? If you don't have it at home, I will ask Aunt Li to buy it and cook it now."
Aunt Li is the nanny of the Xiao family.
Hong Yu waved his hand and said, "Don't bother me. I can eat anything."
"Okay." Xiao Ling'er immediately said to a middle-aged woman in the living room: "Aunt Li, go cook now, remember to cook two more dishes."
"Yes, miss." Aunt Li walked towards the kitchen.
Song Xuan sat on the sofa and watched Xiao Ling'er's enthusiastic attitude towards Hong Yu. Especially when he heard Xiao Ling'er calling "Brother Xiaoyu" one after another, he felt quite uncomfortable.
It can even be said to be a bit jealous.
After all, he likes Xiao Linger.
I fell in love with him when I first entered college and have been with him for several years.
However, Xiao Ling'er's attitude towards him has always been lukewarm, and it is just a friendship between classmates, nothing more.
"Nephew Song Xian, please stay and have dinner with us."
Mr. Xiao's voice made Song Xuan react, nodded and said with a smile: "Thank you, Mr. Xiao."
While speaking, he glanced at Xiao Ling'er specifically to see if Xiao Ling'er would ask him what kind of food he liked.
However, Xiao Ling'er didn't say a word, her eyes were always on Hong Yu, and she obviously had a good impression of Hong Yu.
This made him feel very disappointed, and he silently regarded Hong Yu as his love rival.
Thinking that he had just given an extra three million to his love rival in vain, he became increasingly unhappy.
