Mike felt cold all over, "Dad, what are you talking about?
I am your son. If you don’t give your company to me, who should you give it to?
What if I leave it to neo?
That little bastard of his, if it hadn't been for him back then, would my sister and brother-in-law have died?"
Lily hated her husband's quick talk, especially when he was in a mood and couldn't control his emotions at all.
This matter has always been against the old man, and he never allowed others to mention it in front of him.
At first I thought of it for neo's sake, but later it was purely because the rumors outside were getting more and more outrageous.
Now even his son is saying these nonsense words.
"Bang——"
He slammed the table and said, "If you still think of me as your father, you should take all these words back."
Mike's face turned red, and he knew that he just said something he shouldn't have said.
"dad……"
"Dad, don't get angry with Mike. You don't understand them yet. He just talks too fast and he doesn't have any bad intentions."
Before Lily finished speaking, the old man's eyes glanced at her, and she immediately lowered her head and stopped talking.
"People outside are spreading nonsense, so you family members are also spreading nonsense?
Don't think that I don't know what you two are thinking and why you secretly call me neo behind your back.
I am getting old and my eyes are dim, but don’t really think that I am deaf or blind.
For so many years, I have never cared about you, all because he doesn’t care about you!
Not only have you elders failed to set a good example.
Instead, you call your nephew a 'little bastard' and call him a 'evil star'. Is this your quality? Is this the family affection you keep saying?
ah?"
Both of them trembled and became silent.
They never imagined that he knew all the names they called him secretly.
Originally, Lily would say this because the old man didn't know.
In front of the old man, she always pretended to love neo.
But later, when Neo got older, she would not be easily deceived by her, so she simply gave up acting.
And Mike is even more so.
When I think of all the things I have done behind the old man's back over the years, the old man may have seen it.
He felt even more cautious and panicked.
"Okay, both of them are gone. I don't want to see you again. I'll get angry when I see you."
The two of them walked out silently, but when they were about to leave the old man's ward, Mike suddenly turned his head again.
I also want to mention bringing neo back.
"Dad, company matters..."
"Get out of here."
There were still three words left today, and he no longer dared to say anything.
As soon as she left my old man's ward, Lili couldn't help but discuss it with her husband.
"What do you think is going on?
How could the old man know what we called the little evil star behind our backs?
This is too scary. Is all his energy focused on neo?
So no matter what we say or do, nothing escapes his eyes."
Mike also felt puzzled.
"Maybe it's a small report between Neo and the old man!
Otherwise, we only called him that when we were three, how would he know?"
The more Lili thought about it, the more she realized that Neo was so scheming that he knew he was plotting against the two of them at such a young age.
"Forget it, I'll let this matter go. It's just that the old man didn't tell Neo about the company's affairs, and I still feel it's inappropriate.
I have to find an opportunity to call neo and ask him to come back."
If the current loopholes cannot be filled, what's the point of waiting until their son takes over?
On the contrary, it is a burden.
"I think I have to make this call.
Husband, you have to be mentally prepared, that little brat may not agree to you so easily."
Of course Mike also knew, “But he was raised by an old man and has a deep affection for him.
I can only explain it with emotion and reason. I don't believe that the old man won't come back even if he mentions it.
Then he is unfilial!"
He had already thought about it in advance. If he didn't agree to come back, he would go directly to the gossip magazine and expose the matter.
"Public opinion is pushing me. I wonder if he can come back?"
"Husband, you are so smart!
How could he, who cares about face so much, see his grandfather fall into the whirlpool of public opinion?"
The more they thought about it, the more they thought this method was good, and Mike actually called him.
Think about it, this was already half a month ago.
Neo only found out why the old man was in poor health after receiving the call.
That day, he suddenly called me again, but he still didn't want to answer his video call.
Thinking about it, he was a little helpless. Even the old man had the same mentality.
Such a powerful person gave birth to such a cowardly and useless son.
The old man can't even teach me.
Fortunately, after he came back, he immediately arranged a full-body physical examination for the old man.
After seeing his report, neo was relieved.
Only then can I have time to clean up the company.
At this moment, Song Zhiyu stood in front of him.
"Mr. Song, have you figured out how to explain it?"
There was even a trace of sweat on his forehead. He did not expect that this young man would be so difficult to deal with.
It was easy to lie to Mike before.
Is it possible that he will be here today?
"Sorry, I need to carry out risk assessments every day, there are too many.
I still have to take a closer look at yours before I can give you a reasonable explanation."
When Mike heard his hesitant voice, he felt something was wrong.
Is it possible that all the things this kid bragged about back then were all lies to him?
When he met neo's half-smiling eyes, he felt that his intelligence had been insulted by this man.
He urged a few times, "You were very clear when you analyzed it with me, why have you forgotten it now?
Think about it quickly, if you can't think of anything else, don't leave here today."
Mike had a rough voice and was tall, and Song Zhiyu was like a weakling in front of him.
"Sir, don't worry.
Since I was able to say it back then, I can still say it now, but you have to give me a certain amount of time.
You also know that I need to look at a lot of numbers every day, and it’s impossible to remember everyone’s numbers, right?”
Neo always had a faint smile on his face, he just wanted to see how Song Zhiyu would finish the play.
"Didn't you say that you were a level 10 mental arithmetic expert? Calculate those minutes.
Now that we’ve done the math, shouldn’t it be easier?”
Song Zhiyu took out a handkerchief and carefully wiped the sweat on his forehead.
This is shooting yourself in the foot.
"I took a closer look, mainly because this young gentleman kept staring at me with that malicious look, which made me a little nervous."
Neo smiled, and it was his fault.
"Since Mr. Song is so confident, I will give you a chance.
I won't look at you now, but I want to know when you can give me a reasonable explanation."
Song Zhiyu wiped the sweat from his forehead while he was carrying him.
He was really scared by his stare.
"I wonder if I can go to the toilet now?"
Mike's eyes narrowed, "I'll accompany you there."
If Song Zhiyu ran away now, he would not be able to escape even if he jumped into the Yellow River.
All contracts have become his own choice, and he cannot bear this responsibility.
Now that it can be pushed to Song Zhiyu, that's the best thing.
Song Zhiyu didn't expect that Mike's IQ seemed to have improved by leaps and bounds.
It is not easy to run away. If he runs away now, it will be inconvenient for him to do such deceitful things in France in the future.
"Who was that young gentleman just now? He looked very impressive.
Could it be that he is the grandson of the old man? He looks a bit like the old man when he was young!"
He pretended to praise.
Mike snorted coldly, "It seems that Mr. Song's eyesight isn't very good either.
That is just the grandson of the old man, and his own grandson is still with him in the manor.
Based on Mr. Song's look, I guess you misjudged the contract that day?"
After hearing what he said, Song Zhiyu suddenly stopped, turned around, and spoke to him seriously.
"Mike, you can question my character and my identity, but you can't question the report I gave.
You must have investigated me. I have been working hard in the industry for so many years and have issued hundreds if not thousands of reports.
If I can't do even the simplest risk assessment well, how can I have such a rich resume?
Mr. Mike had better think about what went wrong. Is there really something wrong with my report?
There are still people who are deliberately looking for trouble!"
Song Zhiyu didn't make it too obvious, he just hoped to make this idiot think about it carefully.
At least take the muzzle away from yourself.
"...What you said makes some sense."
When this report was first issued, Song Zhiyu was not the only one to read it.
He was also cautious at the time, and he went to people from other companies to look at it, and they all said there was no problem, so he made up his mind to sign the contract.
Why is there a problem here as soon as neo comes back? What about problems then?
They are all documents processed by him.
It seems that this guy is not just coming back this time to help the company tide over the difficulties.
He also wants to get rid of himself as the nominal general manager!
Oh, well, you neo said that you are not interested in this or that.
It turns out that everyone is doing this kind of sneaky thing behind the scenes!
"Mr. Song, don't worry. When you go back, you will follow what you told me that day and tell neo.
I think right and wrong will come to a conclusion."
Song Zhiyu showed a kind smile and said, "It would be great if you think so.
The risks involved in our line of work are also very high, and sometimes it is inevitable that some customers will take advantage of you and do some unexplainable things.
We can only do our best to remind customers."
He clicked until he clicked, and after hearing this, Mike felt even more that he was innocent.
Neo didn't know why it took so long for the two of them to go to the toilet.
Just when he couldn't help but stand up and look for the person in person, the two people finally appeared slowly at the door of his office.
"Mr. Song, it's best to go to the hospital later and check if there is anything wrong with your body."
"What?"
He didn't expect that neo would take the initiative to talk to him as soon as he came back.
Mike has long been accustomed to his venomous words, so after listening to the first half of his sentence, he naturally knows what the second half of his sentence is.
"Just go to the urology department and get yourself checked out. This is my sincere advice."
"you!"
Song Zhiyu's face flickered between bright and dark, which was very ugly.
"Okay, don't talk nonsense, Mr. Song, please continue -"
Song Zhiyu picked up the risk assessment he issued again and pretended to calculate it.
In fact, according to his document, there is no problem, but it is completely different from the terms provided in the contract.
"Sir, please take a look at how I calculated it at the beginning. It's all listed here."
Song Zhiyu handed the document over, and Neo only glanced at it before slamming it down on the table again.
"Do you really think I'm Mike?
I've already given you a chance, but you're still pretending to be a fool in front of me, right?"
Song Zhiyu looked innocent, looking at Mike and then at neo.
"What do you mean?
Isn’t this the process you want? I’ve already written it down, what else do you want!”
"I've made it very clear, what I want is the answer to how you came up with the low-risk answer in the first place!
You are a bit clever, but you think you calculated based on the risk report, so I can’t tell!"
neo stood up, he was taller than him.
It suppressed him even more.
"No, no, no, I never meant it this way, but my assessment at the time was correct.
Across the world, maybe you also know some financial knowledge.
But I want to say that without many years of professional accumulation, it is absolutely impossible to calculate my answer.
If you have any objections, you can go to the arbitration institution directly."
Song Zhiyu gave it a try. There are almost no sub-category arbitration institutions in France, they are just decorations.
Even if neo does find those people, he is sure that he can escape smoothly.
Mike spoke for Song Zhiyu on the side, "Yes, Consultant Song has many years of experience.
You may know some financial knowledge, but how can you be as professional as others?
You must have made a miscalculation and put all the problems on Consultant Song."
Neo squinted his eyes and looked at Mike, why did this person rebel again just when he went to the toilet?
It's really interesting.
"Mr. Song also knows that lines are separated by mountains. So, liar, how many mountains are separated by He Jinlong?"
He exposed Song Zhiyu mercilessly.
Song Zhiyu was trembling all over, but he didn't show it on his face.
He turned to look at Mike, his face serious and a little angry.
"Mr. Mike, it was you who spent time and money and visited the thatched cottage to invite me back.
I don't think my own professionalism and ability require me to suffer this kind of insult here.
Please warn this gentleman so that he can do what he wants.
If he slanders me like this again, I won’t mind taking up legal weapons to protect my rights.”
"Oh," neo clapped his hands, "Mr. Song really put on a good show. It really opened my eyes."
These days, even liars are clamoring to take up legal weapons to defend themselves. What a joke!
Seeing such a determined Song Zhiyu, even Mike fell into a dilemma.
All the words he just said echoed in his mind.
If Song Zhiyu really has a problem, then all the problems will now be pushed to him.
But if he really had a problem, wouldn't he have been deceived?
One side is stupid, the other side is still stupid!
He really didn't know what to choose.
Neo only found it funny, even scary, to look at Mike like this.
If the old man saw it, he would probably be even more sad, right?
How could I raise such a son?
He doesn't know right from wrong, and he can't even understand the most basic things.
Now facing such a liar, he actually doesn't stand on his side.
Still thinking about those little calculations of his own, he is really hopelessly stupid.
"Neo, think about it again, could it be that you made a mistake?
Mr. Song originally refused to take orders from our company. It was me who dragged on a lot of trouble and spent a lot of effort to invite Mr. Song."
Neo laughed angrily at Mike, "Uncle, you are really my good uncle!
You really spent all your effort and money to hire such a liar.
Fortunately, you still know to call me to come back. If I don't come back, my company will be wiped out!
I have been thinking not to let me steal it, but now the company is being tricked by such a liar.
Let me ask you this, how do you feel now?"
"Mr. Song is not a liar, I know better than you.
There is no need for you to target me like this, I asked you to come back just to reassure the old man."
Mike's words were completely showing off. The old man didn't call Neo, but he was extremely anxious.
Neo is not in a hurry to deal with him. The top priority now is to catch this liar.
"Mr. Song, don't you have anything to explain?"
Neo walked slowly from behind the desk to him, and Song Zhiyu felt the majesty of his whole person.
"I have nothing more to say. Since you don't believe me so much, no matter what I say, it's just sophistry in your eyes."
Neo opened his mouth in surprise, "I didn't expect Mr. Song to understand my thoughts so much.
That's indeed what I thought.
Mr. Song keeps saying that he will take up legal weapons to protect his rights and interests, but I wonder if you would still say that in front of the police?"
Song Zhiyu clenched his fists, "What do you mean?"
Even Mike was very anxious, "If you have something to say, why should it be so serious as to call the police?"
This is all our family's business, wouldn't it look ugly if you went out to make a fuss?"
Neo first answered Mike's question, "I don't think it's ugly. If the company encounters a scammer, it should call the police.
I'm afraid only those who have been deceived find it ugly and don't think twice about it.
Naturally, he felt that making a scene would be bad for his reputation.
Mr. Song still maintains his innocence like this, so he needs professionals to define it and see whose problem it is."
Song Zhiyu was really panicked now. He felt like he had heard the sound of the police car.
"If you have anything to say, please tell me. If there is anything you don't understand, why don't I explain it to you again in detail?
Why does it have to be so ugly?
Do you know that our industry attaches great importance to reputation?
Even if I am innocent, if I go to the police station, they will not look for me again.
You are simply a hateful person, you are trying to cut off my wealth!"
Neo's eyes suddenly became serious, "If this incident is just an error and I wronged you Song Zhiyu, how about I apologize to you on the front page of France for a month?"
Mr. Song, don’t you think this can make up for your reputation?”
Song Zhiyu had never thought that the man in front of him, who looked like an artist, would suddenly become so big.
"Mr. Song, please think about it. I think the condition I proposed is attractive enough."
Before the two of them said anything, Mike yelled from the side first, "What are you doing?
How can you waste the money at home?
Did the old man raise you up to teach you to be extravagant and wasteful?"
Neo turned around and looked at him, as if he felt strange.
“Does this count as extravagance and waste?
I still have to learn from you, uncle, on this point.
The company lost so much money, and the money I paid to buy the headlines was not even a drop in the bucket compared to that.
I don’t know why my uncle thinks I spend too much?
Besides, uncle, don’t you know how much a painting I can sell for?”
Song Zhiyu listened to their conversation silently. It turned out that he was a painter. No wonder he always had a casual style about him.
But how can a painter understand those professional financial data?
The young man in front of me is really something to be reckoned with.
He silently thought about how to escape.
If he was taken to the police station, his time in France would be over.
If he wanted to do this again, he would have to go to another country, but he had just come here to lay a solid foundation, so how could he be willing to run away?
"How is it? Mr. Song, have you thought about it?"
Neo seemed determined that he did not dare to escape, and even leaned on the table and lit a cigarette.
He didn't smoke it either, he just held it silently in his hand.
Song Zhiyu lowered his head and looked at the burning part of the cigarette. It was burning slowly bit by bit, and it was about to burn down to the cigarette butt.
He suddenly felt that his career had come to an end.
"good!
I promise you, I will follow you to the police station.
I hope that after this experience, this gentleman can return my innocence."
Neo raised his eyebrows. He really didn't expect Song Zhiyu to agree to him.
He has even made preparations, and there is already a lot of manpower deployed outside.
Once Song Zhiyu is about to escape, the bodyguards will swarm in and arrest him directly.
He was sure that he was a liar, but what confidence did he have when he agreed now?
After seeing Song Zhiyu nod, Mike finally felt relieved and even a little proud.
"Let me just say that Mr. Song is definitely not that kind of person!
Now that people are following you to the police station, you need to get some refreshments.
When there is any turmoil, I will immediately clarify Mr. Song's case."
"Uncle, you should think about how to clarify yourself. Now everyone in the outside world knows that you are a brainless successor."
How could a large company like theirs that has roots in France escape the surveillance of others?
Their every move is in the public eye, so they also know when Mike is in charge.
And this time the company suffered such huge losses, the outside world had already scolded his uncle.
The media knew about Neo's return this time before the old man did.
They even used the word "savior" exaggeratedly in newspapers to define neo's return.
