At the Tang family's residence. Tang Xiyi had no idea that all his little schemes had been exposed. He was now discussing with his subordinate in front of him how to win over Song Huaizhi.
The initial plan didn't seem to work. Song Huaizhi was more difficult to deal with than they had imagined, and even somewhat unfathomable. Tang Xiyi vaguely saw something in him that was the same as those old guys in the court.
Sinister and cunning. He seemed calm on the surface, but in fact, he would do anything for power.
However, Meng Ruyi was quite interesting.
He remembered the young man in purple clothes when they first met. Dressed gorgeously, he could tell at a glance that the young man came from an extraordinary family. Unexpectedly, when he got closer, he found that the person in front of him was a girl. Only the small mark on her ear exposed her gender.
Meng Ruyi was also very interesting. Although she was just a businesswoman, she was also taken in as a disciple by Mr. Lin, just like Song Huaizhi.
In fact, Tang Xiyi guessed that Meng Ruyi might be Song Huaizhi's puppet and one of the chips pushed to the front. According to the investigation of the business firm, most of Song Huaizhi's assets were in the name of Meng Ruyi or the Meng couple.
Song Huaizhi was not a good person either.
Tang Xiyi rubbed his eyebrows. Thinking of the scene when he was just dealing with Song Huaizhi, he felt annoyed.
"I initially thought that Meng Ruyi was just one of Song Huaizhi's subordinates or just a puppet," Tang Xiyi said to the person in front of him. "But I met her today. She doesn't seem stupid. Instead, she is very perceptive and cares a lot about money."
"Maybe," the person sitting opposite him said. "Song Huaizhi is just using this matter to hold Meng Ruyi in check."
"I think so too," Tang Xiyi's eyebrows relaxed a little. Thinking of Meng Ruyi's performance at that time, he couldn't help but find it a little funny. "If Meng Ruyi is really not Song Huaizhi's puppet, maybe her ability is more amazing than we thought."
"Then Song Huaizhi's behavior seems much more reasonable than at the beginning."
The man sitting opposite him breathed a sigh of relief and sighed, "The family head is really far - sighted. I'm really impressed."
Tang Xiyi didn't say a word.
The money Song Huaizhi had put on Meng Ruyi was not a small amount. Although the Tang family was extremely wealthy, Tang Xiyi couldn't help but be amazed at Song Huaizhi's generosity.
It was said that Meng Ruyi was also Mr. Lin's disciple. This seemed to be her biggest highlight so far. Then...
"Could it be that Mr. Lin took Song Huaizhi as his disciple because of Meng Ruyi?" the man sitting opposite him asked tentatively. "It is said that Mr. Lin doesn't like a sinister and cunning guy like Song Huaizhi very much, but he still took him as his disciple. Is there any connection with Meng Ruyi, the real disciple?"
"It seems that Meng Ruyi is really a bit interesting," Tang Xiyi remembered the girl's clear but smart eyes when she looked at him. She was generous, neither overbearing nor humble. A meaningful smile appeared on his face involuntarily.
"Don't worry, family head."
Seeing Tang Xiyi showing such an expression, the person opposite him said to him, "If this Meng Ruyi really has such great abilities, and since our intention this time is to win over Mr. Lin, we might as well start with her directly."
"Then bypass Song Huaizhi and give the things to her." The man smiled faintly, and a look of contempt appeared on his face. "No matter how rich Song Huaizhi is, can he compare with the Tang family?"
"Just a little bit leaking from the family head's fingers can crush Song Huaizhi to death!"
Tang Xiyi didn't say a word. He let the man flatter him, and a bit of interest rose in his heart.
...
After Meng Ruyi finished talking with Song Huaizhi, she saw that the bullet - screen on it became lively again.
Just like when Gu Ling made his debut last time, the new male protagonist, Tang Xiyi, also had a high popularity. Many people ran from her side to watch and then came back excitedly to gossip.
[Tang Xiyi... His character collapsed as soon as he appeared. Didn't they say he was quite smart? How could he be so absurd?]
[(Covering face) I can't bear to watch them keep guessing. They are wrong from beginning to end, just like my advanced mathematics homework.]
[The power - struggle scene has turned into a funny one. Just watch it for fun. Hahaha, it's so funny!]
[How could they guess that Yu Yu was bribed by Xiao Song with money to help him get close to Mr. Lin? It's both absurd and funny.]
Meng Ruyi: "..."
It seemed that people who thought too much were really easy to get themselves trapped. But now the one who was trapped was Tang Xiyi. Meng Ruyi was happy to see this scene and even hoped that Tang Xiyi would think more.
Anyway, it would be him who would come to them in the end. Maybe she and Brother Xiao Song could fish in troubled waters and take some advantages while it was in chaos. When the matter was exposed, since Tang Xiyi would need her help, he wouldn't tear his face off.
Great. She really liked this fat sheep who came to her on his own. It seemed that she could discuss it with Brother Xiao Song tomorrow.
What was more interesting was that Meng Ruyi could feel that after Tang Xiyi recognized her as a girl, his tone when talking to her seemed to have changed.
It was as if he was deliberately showing something and wanted her to see it.
Did he want to win her over at that time? It seemed that this man's mind really worked fast, but his train of thought was extremely deviated.
Thinking like this, Meng Ruyi was calculating the next thing in her mind, but her eyelids gradually became heavy.
Early the next morning, as soon as Meng Ruyi got up, she heard Li Ergou say that there was a visitor.
It seemed that Tang Xiyi had come. It was really interesting.
Meng Ruyi did a little makeup and put on a cyan dress, then went out.
Song Huaizhi and Tang Xiyi were standing in front of her room, talking about something.
Seeing Song Huaizhi looking at Meng Ruyi, Tang Xiyi also suppressed the cold look on his face and looked at Meng Ruyi with a faint smile. He said gently, "Is this Miss Meng? Nice to meet you for the first time. I'm Tang Xiyi."
A thoughtful look flashed in Song Huaizhi's eyes, and his gaze at Tang Xiyi became colder and colder.
Presumably, Meng Ruyi dressed up as a man to go out just to avoid Song Huaizhi. So if he pretended to meet her for the first time, Meng Ruyi would understand his intention.
Thinking of this, Tang Xiyi became confident.
Meng Ruyi showed no trace of timidity. She said generously to him, "Hello, Young Master Tang."
After saying that, she didn't say anything more, which made Tang Xiyi, who had been quite calm just now, suddenly at a loss.
This...
What did Meng Ruyi mean? Did she not know who he was, or was she worried that Song Huaizhi would hold her accountable afterwards?
Thinking like this, Tang Xiyi gritted his teeth and added, "I'm in charge of the Tang family's business firm now. If Miss Meng has any needs, just tell me. Don't be polite at all."
[Tang Xiyi: Woman, do you know who is standing in front of you now? It's me, Tang Xiyi, the man who controls the lifeblood of the Tang family (confident) (smirk)]
[The sister above is so talented. Hahaha, I'm dying of laughter. Tang Xiyi is so greasy. I have a vision of the domineering CEO in the early romance novels.]
Seeing the bullet - screen, Meng Ruyi almost couldn't hold back her laughter. She said, " ... Cough, Young Master Tang is being too polite."
Song Huaizhi stood behind Tang Xiyi and sneered coldly in his heart.
