Rebirth of the courtyard, the start is 80s

"Private matter?" After hearing Lou Xiao'e's words, Cao Zhiqiang was stunned, "What private matter?"

But soon, Cao Zhiqiang suddenly looked like he had a sudden realization: "Ah, I understand! Aunt Lou, do you want to get back together with my silly uncle and let me help you and play the drums?"

Immediately afterwards, Cao Zhiqiang frowned and said: "This matter is not easy to handle. After all, you can see that Uncle Silly and my Aunt Qin have a good relationship, and my Aunt Qin is not a fuel-efficient lamp. I want to Beating a mandarin duck with a stick, at least I can't do it.

However, I can give you an idea, that is, every drop of water will penetrate the stone.

Haven’t you already bought Food is the Heaven?

In the future, you might as well live in the capital permanently and get closer to my silly uncle.

The best thing is to find a chance to have a drink with him alone.

I understand this man best. He can easily make mistakes after drinking a little wine and blurring his eyes.

As long as Uncle Silly tells you what to do, ah, it will be easy to handle in the future.

However, remember to be urgent about this.

Be slow but not hasty, go smoothly and not go against the grain.

Before you officially win over Silly Uncle, don't try to reform Silly Uncle, such as his living habits or anything like that.

If you do that, even if you mean well, he will have a rebellious mentality and slowly distance himself from you.

In short, relationships are very complicated and outsiders cannot get involved.

Forcing me to intervene will only make things worse.

Besides, I have already created opportunities for you.

For example, food is the sky, isn't this the opportunity I created for you?
So, Aunt Lou, if you want to get my silly uncle, you really can’t be too hasty! "

After hearing what Cao Zhiqiang said, Lou Xiao'e was stunned for a long time. It wasn't until Cao Zhiqiang finished speaking that she smiled: "Okay, you kid, you dare to arrange for me? You have become more capable, right? You're not too big or too small, right?" "

"Of course not." Cao Zhiqiang quickly apologized and said, "You want to talk to me about personal matters, so I thought about it. Nine times out of ten, it's something related to my silly uncle."

After saying this, Cao Zhiqiang frowned: "Why, am I guessing wrong?"

"Of course it's not right!" Lou Xiao'e said angrily, "The matter between me and your silly uncle is my business, what does it have to do with you?
No matter what I do, I will not discuss it with you.

So, since I came to you specifically to talk about personal matters, it is about you, do you understand? "

Speaking of this, Lou Xiao'e suddenly shook her head: "Hey, you, if you haven't learned anything else well, you must first learn your stupid uncle's ability to act stupid!

Humph, I don’t believe you can’t guess what I want to say. You said that deliberately because you wanted to pretend to be stupid with me and get away with it, right? "

"What's going on here?" Cao Zhiqiang quickly shouted, "I don't know what's going on, I just think you and Uncle Silly..."

After a brief pause, Cao Zhiqiang sighed: "Forget it, blame me, you should just say it directly. What is it?"

"I'm here to remind you." Lou Xiao'e suddenly became serious.

"Remind me?" Cao Zhiqiang was stunned, "Remind me of what?"

"Remind you not to be confused!" Lou Xiao'e continued to say with a straight face.

Cao Zhiqiang frowned: "No, I'm really confused now. What exactly do you want to say?"

"You're still pretending to be with me?" Lou Xiao'e narrowed her eyes, "What's the relationship between that actress Zhu Lin and you?"

"Ah?" Cao Zhiqiang blinked, "Just... the relationship between superiors, subordinates, and partners?
You know, I am the director of Hongguang Film Studio, and she is an employee of my film studio. We have worked together on a movie, and that’s it? "

"Don't do that with me!" Lou Xiao'e looked sideways at Cao Zhiqiang and said, "I'm not blind, I've already seen that there's something fishy between you two.

Especially Zhu Lin, the way she looks at you is not the look between colleagues at all, it is clearly the look of a lover, the kind of deep love! "

At this point, seeing Cao Zhiqiang trying to explain, Lou Xiao'e quickly waved her hand to interrupt Cao Zhiqiang's words, and then sighed: "Don't pretend to be here with me, I'm very familiar with that kind of look, because I thought you were stupid back then. When I was an uncle, I had the same look.

It was a look that, well, how should I put it, could only be seen by a woman who is truly in love.

People who have never experienced this kind of gaze cannot see it, but I am a person who has experienced it, how can I not see it?

Even if you hide it well, you can't deceive people with your subtleties.

After all, she can't be acting all the time, you know what I mean? "

Cao Zhiqiang blinked: "Well, um, Aunt Lou, actually we..."

"Okay, don't explain to me." Lou Xiao'e waved her hand again, "No matter whether you are secretly in love or not, and whether you have that intention for her, at least she must be very interested in you!"

Taking a deep breath, Lou Xiao'e looked at Cao Zhiqiang seriously and said: "So, I am here to remind you that you must hold on and don't be fooled by her!

I do feel pity for Zhu Lin, and he is indeed good-looking.

Even Qin Huairu back then was far inferior to her.

Not to mention, I am ashamed of myself.

I'm afraid, even among the many female celebrities in Hong Kong and Taiwan, not many can surpass her in temperament.

It is perfectly normal for you to be attracted to such a troublesome woman.

But don't forget, there is a man behind her, and he is a powerful leader.

Therefore, no matter how good Zhu Lin is, you cannot cross the line!

You don’t want to cause trouble for yourself in the future, right? "

Cao Zhiqiang blinked, finally recovered, and then asked carefully: "So, you are... warning me?"

"That's right, I'm just warning you!" Lou Xiao'e said, "I'm warning you not to be so lustful, and don't be dragged down by a woman like Zhu Lin!"

After taking another deep breath, Lou Xiaoe continued: "Actually, I understand women like Zhu Lin very well.

Although I heard that she was married before, I'm afraid this is just a cover-up, right?
But those in power will not stop for a woman, so they can only find someone to help and arrange for her privately.

I think it was the big boss’ intention for her to join your film studio, right?

In this case, don't act rashly.

Listen to me, women like Zhu Lin are often very scheming.

She is definitely not as simple as you seem.

I guess she was pretending to be nice to you at first and wanted to hook up with you.

After all, you are talented, extremely rich, and most importantly, extremely young.

If I were Zhu Lin, I would definitely choose you in the end.

At least, you are a good alternative. "

Cao Zhiqiang blinked and smiled bitterly: "You want to say that I am Zhu Lin's... spare tire?"

"Spare tire?" Lou Xiao'e was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "Yes, this description is very appropriate. Are you her spare tire?"

After smiling, Lou Xiao'e continued with a straight face and said: "In short, although I haven't been with this Zhu Lin for a long time, I can see that this woman is not simple.

I'm afraid Qin Huairu back then was far inferior to her in terms of looks and scheming.

Such a person would never hang himself from a tree, he would definitely have a backup plan.

And you may be her new prey! "

"New, new prey?" Cao Zhiqiang asked subconsciously.

"Not bad, new prey!" Lou Xiao'e nodded.

Speaking of this, Lou Xiao'e sighed: "Zhiqiang, I am also here. I was forced to leave the capital and fled to Xiangjiang with my family.

At the beginning, we were unfamiliar with the place and life here, and life was very difficult.

Have you ever thought about it, since I like your silly uncle so much and have always missed him, why do I want to get married here?
The answer is simple, that is to survive! "

Speaking of this, Lou Xiao'e seemed to be touched by something sad. She couldn't help raising her head with red eyes, and said with a sigh on her face: "I think back then, our Lou family was also a well-known big family in Beijing, not to mention other things. , at least not too short of money.

However, since our family experienced that turmoil and moved to Xiangjiang, our wealth has been reduced to a tenth.

At that time, I was already pregnant. Although my family took good care of me, life was still very difficult. Xiangjiang is different from the mainland. Everything requires money. Without money, it is difficult to move forward.

Although there are many flowers here, they are only prosperous for the rich.

If you don't have money, you're just going to live in hell here.

Moreover, Hong Kong back then was different from Hong Kong now.

At that time, there was no Independent Commission Against Corruption in Hong Kong. Corruption was rampant and gangs were rampant. It was very difficult for ordinary people to live a stable life, let alone people from other places.

Even though our family still had some wealth when we came to Xiangjiang, we were quickly treated as fat sheep and extorted in various ways.

Even my brother was beaten in the street and almost died once.

Can you imagine the life of leaving your hometown and living under someone else’s roof? "

Cao Zhiqiang nodded immediately: "I can probably think of it."

Lou Xiao'e smiled slightly: "So, in that situation, love and the like are all luxuries, and the first thing we have to ensure is survival.

It was also because I wanted to survive that I married my husband, ah, my ex-husband.

In fact, my ex-husband was not particularly rich back then.

It's just that I was so helpless at the time and really wanted someone to rely on.

And his appearance just filled my gap and brought me a sense of security.

It was that sense of security that brought me together with him.

Of course, originally, I wanted to forget all the past and live with him here with peace of mind.

Who knows, many people can only share adversity but not wealth.

The hard days back then were over, but when we started to have some money, he changed.

In fact, I had already discovered that he had someone outside. I just wanted to remember my old relationship, my face, and of course my children, so I didn't say anything. I just made a few insinuations in the hope that he would change his mind.

Who knows, he later became more and more serious.

In fact, if he just has women outside, or likes to play with women outside, I will pretend that I can't see him.

After all, the men here are all about the same, and the general environment is there.

But what I absolutely cannot tolerate is that he gets into gambling!
In order to gamble, he began to find various excuses to defraud the company of money.

Although we did co-found that company, I was running most of it.

Therefore, that company is my hard work and the place where I live and work, and I will not allow others to destroy it.

Therefore, when I discovered that my ex-husband frequently embezzled public funds and found various excuses to go out and gamble, I showed my cards to him and divorced him directly.

Of course, I never fight an unprepared battle.

In order to make a final decision, I pretended not to know, and then hired a private detective to investigate my ex-husband. The investigation lasted for more than half a year and collected a lot of evidence of his cheating, gambling and embezzlement of public funds!

Once this evidence is exposed, he will definitely go to jail!
Only with these irrefutable evidence did he agree to divorce me.

On the surface, I was thinking about my old relationship and didn't embarrass him too much.

After the divorce, I left the company to him and only got my share of the money.

But in fact, once a company withdraws a large amount of cash, it will not be able to survive.

Especially since I am engaged in trading, the most important thing for a trading company is two things.

The first is cash flow, and the second is connections.

Only with sufficient cash flow can we purchase and ship goods in a timely manner.

Only with strong connections can we have a rich supply of goods and markets.

A trading company without cash and connections is just an empty shell.

When I got divorced, not only did I take away half of the company's value, but a group of key company employees also ran away from me.

This is equivalent to me taking away the most valuable things of the company.

Therefore, my ex-husband thought he had taken advantage of me, but in fact it was just me taking the opportunity to divest the bad assets and start the business again.

Of course, I cannot tell outsiders about these things.

Externally, I only say that he has someone outside, so we divorced, so that others can sympathize with me.

Moreover, after the divorce, I only wanted money, which also gave people the feeling that I was nostalgic for my old relationship.

As a result, the new company I founded quickly received a large number of orders.

After all, everyone who has worked with me knows that the companies my ex-husband and I founded were basically supported by me, so of course they are willing to cooperate with me.

You see, once I got divorced, not only did I divest myself of bad assets, I also gained sympathy from others, and I was able to travel lightly and get more business.

I have never said these things to outsiders, even to Silly Zhu, I have never mentioned them.

But I told you today, do you know what I mean? "

Cao Zhiqiang shook his head subconsciously.

Lou Xiao'e smiled slightly: "Because you are a truly smart person, of course I have to use the content of speeches between smart people to talk to you. Otherwise, wouldn't I be looked down upon by you?"

Cao Zhiqiang lowered his face and said nothing, but he was complaining in his heart: I never expected that you would be like Lou Xiao'e?
When I watched the TV series before, I thought Lou Xiao'e was a love brain, and she would become wise when she saw a silly column.

Now it seems that there is either something wrong with the TV series, or Lou Xiaoe is pretending to be stupid.

If what Lou Xiaoe said is true, this is not a love brain at all, but a scheming old fox!

Seeing Cao Zhiqiang keeping a straight face and not speaking, Lou Xiao'e narrowed her eyes and continued: "Actually, I have been paying close attention to you since I bought Shiwei Tianhou, and even hired a private detective to investigate you, so I am very interested in you. I know you are a person who can achieve great things.

In particular, you are not only talented, but also have a strong business acumen, and you have a big background behind you. This is what I appreciate.

Therefore, in fact, I have long wanted to find an opportunity to sit down and talk with you about future cooperation.

However, I hope that my partner is a smart person like me, not a fool who is trapped in love.

And Zhu Lin is obviously your weakness! "

After taking a deep breath, Lou Xiao'e continued to say with a serious face: "Zhiqiang, people in the know don't tell secret stories!

I can see through a woman like Zhu Lin at a glance!

It is no longer possible for people of her age to have any love between children.

At least, she will not put the love of her children as the first priority in her life.

On the contrary, fame, fortune and success are what people like her want most!
She can be arranged by a big shot to live with you and even arrange to come to Xiangjiang. In fact, it is basically equivalent to being given up by the big shot, and there is basically no possibility of rising to the top.

Otherwise, there is no need for you to help her come and live in Xiangjiang.

I'm afraid that her pregnancy was also an opportunity to gain power, but unfortunately she didn't succeed and instead angered the other party, which is why she ended up like an exile.

I can see it, and probably a smart person like Zhu Lin can also see it.

In order to survive, she must find a backer again, and you are currently the best alternative.

So, Zhiqiang, for your own good, you'd better not get too involved with a woman like Zhu Lin.

Being too involved with her will do you no good at all.

I am very optimistic about you and hope to become a partner with you.

However, I don’t want my future partners to be held back by a woman.

And this is the real reason why I came to you specifically this time.

do you understand? "
