Chapter 52: The Nine Tripods of the Nation (Seeking collection votes!!)

  It's just like that between men, as long as they hit it off, everything is fine. Song Jiaming and Guo Pu became brothers with just three sentences, and ten years later, when Song Jiaming thought back to today's events, he couldn't help but sigh in admiration, and was also very proud of himself. At that time, he had already become the chairman of one of the world's top ten financial groups! And all of this, of course, had a close relationship with Guo Pu!

  However, at this time, he still had some small doubts in his heart. This guy who was a few years younger than himself, why could he get the favor of the Mi family, especially when he and Guo Pu went to the backyard to see Old Man Mi together, seeing Old Man Mi's attitude towards Guo Pu, the doubts in his heart deepened even more.

  "Good kids! You're all great young people. Get close to this kid more often, it'll be good for you!"

  Mr. Mi said this, which made Song Jiaming's heart even more surprised. What kind of background does this kid have? It's actually beneficial for me that Mr. Mi is saying this. What kind of power can affect me? The prince of the capital doesn't have such a person! Apart from the four young masters of the capital and the four public sons in the military, even Lin Gongzi, who has a crush on Milan, Song Jiaming thinks they may not be helpful to himself!

  Because the Song family has reached a height where even the country would have a headache if it wanted to move them! There are even people who really want to shake the Song family, but the predictable result is that the Song family will be crossed, and the economy of the Yangtze River Delta will at least retreat by ten years!

  "Old master, how's your body? I should have come yesterday, but I was really busy and didn't make it. Guo brothers and I hit it off immediately, without your introduction, we would also become good brothers!"

  Song Jiaming hastily said, "Old Master Mi is in a great mood today, with a smile on his face, and even his illness seems to have alleviated a lot: 'Hmm, not bad. Since you're the landlord, take this kid out for a good spin around Shanghai. You young people need to learn how to unite; that's beneficial for development. You should have a long-term vision. Alright, you two can go now! Xiao Guo, call Lan'er in for me!'"

  Guo Pu hastily responded and followed Song Jiaming out of Old Man Mi's room. Guo Pu had a very good impression of Song Jiaming, firstly because he didn't have the arrogant air that those so-called young masters from noble families usually had, and secondly because Song Jiaming's personality was indeed outstanding. Since even Old Man Mi said such things, it's likely that this person is someone worth befriending, or even becoming sworn brothers with in the future!

  Besides, it's their right to pursue Milan as long as they're being open and honest. As for him, he doesn't even have the right to speak up about this matter now. He also doesn't know how to settle accounts with Milan. If he wants to clear things up, he's afraid of embarrassing Milan. Since he promised Wang Siwei that he would help Milan out, then he should see it through to the end!

  As soon as they went out, Song Jiaming saw that there was no one around and coughed, looking at Guo Pu asked: "Brother Guo, do you really like Lan'er?"

  Kuo Pu was slightly taken aback, not expecting the other party to ask such a straightforward question. Seeing the other's clear eyes, he smiled wryly and said: "How should I answer you?"

  "To be honest with you, I should have told you, I've had a crush on her for many years!"

  Song Jiacheng directly expressed his feelings, which made Guo Pu admire him again. This man is really worth getting along with.

  "Since he can take you home, it says a lot. I also know that his aunt and several uncles are trying to match her with Lin Gongzi from the capital, but I still want to try my best. Now it seems like you're my biggest competitor, haha, let's have a good competition! If I lose, I'll congratulate you both! However, before you get married, I won't give up! It just seems now... that I'm destined to fail!"

  Guo Pu looked at him and shook his head, chuckling softly: "Song brother, if I said I was just a scapegoat brought by Milan, would you believe me?"

  Song Jiaying was taken aback, looked at Guo Pu seriously for a moment, and suddenly burst out laughing happily. He heavily patted Guo Pu's shoulder and said: "From now on, you are my brother!"

  Guo Pu said in a low voice, almost suffocating Song Jiaming: "However, Brother Song, from my perspective, you really don't have any hope!"

  "You...!! Bastard!!"

  The elegant and refined Song Gongzi actually uttered dirty words, I wonder what kind of reaction there will be if the outside world finds out!

  "Guo Pu continued to pester him: 'Don't you believe me? Don't you believe me?... I'm not talking nonsense!'"

  Song Jiaying was taken aback again, and then sighed: "What you said seems to be true! Do you have any way to help your brother? A great kindness doesn't need to be thanked, nothing else can be said, from now on in Shanghai, we two brothers will be like this!"

  Song Jiaying gave Guo Pu a thumbs up, but Guo Pu just smiled and said: "I can't help you with that!"

  When Milan walked through the backyard, she saw Guo Pu and Song Jiaming walking together, and they were even holding arms, looking like old friends. She was slightly surprised. These two people, are their feelings warming up too fast?

  When Milan came over, Guo Pu hastily said: "Mi... Lan, the old master wants to see you, and asks you to go quickly."

  Milan looked up at Guo Pu and then at Song Jiaming, saying: "What are you two doing?"

  Song Jiaying hastily said: "Lan'er, Brother Guo has come to Shanghai, and as his elder brother, I naturally want to show him some hospitality. He won't be returning tonight!"

  Milan glanced at the two of them and felt a bit strange, but said with a smile: "Then you go, you... have fun! Shanghai beauties are very famous!"

  Song Jiaying's whole body suddenly shook, and he hastily waved his hand, saying: "I wouldn't dare, I wouldn't dare! How would I take Brother Guo to that kind of place? I just wanted to take Brother Guo on a tour around!"

  Milan gave Guo Pu a meaningful look and turned around to leave, leaving the two with an enchanting back view!

  It wasn't until Milan's figure disappeared that the two men withdrew their gaze and burst out laughing together!

  In Mr. Mi's room, Milan and Zeng Bo helped Old Master Mi sit down properly, then he said: "Lan'er, you sit!"

  Milan sat down on the bedside, holding Grandpa Mi's withered hand, and Grandpa Mi let out a soft sigh before saying: "Lan'er, you've given me a difficult problem!"

  Milan remained silent, but a hint of stubbornness flashed in the corner of her eyes. Old Master Mi shook his head and continued to hold Milan's hand tightly, saying: "You also know that I have been suppressing our family members, not even allowing them to become civil servants. Why is this? It's because I'm afraid that the younger generation of the Mi family will get involved in certain struggles. Although I was only in office for three years and didn't even complete one term before retiring, you must understand that self-preservation is most important. It's not me bragging, but who dares to say they have no opponents? So, once you're involved, it gets too complicated. Your father doesn't speak of it, he's low-key and unassuming. Your uncle, as well as several other uncles, I can still control them for now, but I won't live forever, right? The waters in the capital are too deep! You've also started some sort of club... Grandfather really admires you, a woman who doesn't yield to men! You didn't rely on my connections and were able to build such a business in just a few years. It's truly not easy!"

  Uncle Rice knows his granddaughter's temperament is stubborn.

  "Doing business is good, but what I mean is that you marrying that young man from the Song family would be the best outcome. The Song family is a shining star in the business world, and others wouldn't dare to make a move. I don't expect you to become wealthy and noble, just being safe and sound is enough!"

  Milan spoke in a low voice and didn't say anything else, seeing Grandpa also didn't speak, then said: "What now? Grandpa!"

  The old man chuckled and said proudly, "Now what? Now that my granddaughter is involved, this old bone will stand firmly on her side. I'd like to see what kind of storm they can stir up in the capital! Old but not dead is for thieves, retire and live a peaceful life, why make waves?! The country's nine tripod cauldrons are no child's play! Guo Xiaozi has already been told, young people, go have fun! This old man won't die yet!"

  Thank you for the rewards from残月花开, 月舞寒潭, 枫之琪, 坏坏, 狂野的斯文 and many others! Haha!! If this book is to be put on shelves before a unified commander is released, then Xiao Jiu will be put on shelves that day......!!

  By the way, under that little guy who reads with a lamp, there is something soft and white with a small red dot on it. If you stretch out your paws and touch that red thing, you'll get an unexpected surprise!! Writers, don't go touching it, or you'll get bitten!
