Chapter 914 - Virtue and filial piety first?
"I truly never would have thought that you two children were this capable. You are truly useless!" Ji Nanyue said with emotion."Little Aunt, it"s enough for you to praise San"er by yourself. If you praise me like that, then I"m really embarra.s.sed."
Ji Shaolei chuckled, "If it wasn"t for my father, I wouldn"t have been able to become the president of this construction company. Actually, the main business of the company is handled by the general manager and other leaders. I"m just messing around …"Ji Nanyue couldn"t help but laugh and shake her head, saying, "You"re not to be praised. You"re much more crafty than Little Feng."
Ji Shalei just chuckled and didn"t say anything."Don"t tell me I"m not clear about your father"s personality?" Ji Nanyue smiled, "If you really don"t have anything good to gain from it and just live all day long, will your father agree to have you as the boss?"
"Hey!" Ji Shalei chuckled.
However, Ji Feng secretly nodded his head as he admired his aunt"s insight.
Indeed, just like what my aunt said, if Ji Shaolei really was just a useless guy without even the slightest bit of ability, then with Second Uncle"s character, he would have already thrown him into the army to train. Why would he let Second Brother sit in a position as the head of a state-owned enterprise?
Although he seemed to be doing nothing all day, in reality, the Jian An Group was not very big nor was they too strong. However, some construction projects in Jiang Prefecture were big projects, so the Jian An Group would not be able to get involved.Even if he could get involved, that might be because of Second Uncle. Ji Shalei knew what he had to do.
Thus, many times, the business of the Jian"an Group was done in other cities.At this time, it would be up to second brother to deal with officials from outside the city. If they were to deal with officials, who could compare to him?
It was also because of second brother"s public relations efforts that the Jianan Group"s business in the field had been proceeding smoothly.
Strictly speaking, Jian Chen"s position as the president of the Jian An Group might be a little incompetent. However, if the Jian An Group were to lose a second brother, then the business would definitely not proceed so smoothly and profitably.The aunt"s evaluation was quite accurate. Her words were very accurate!
The two brothers chatted with Ji Nanyue and soon got familiar with her.Blood was thicker than water, and that kind of familial relations.h.i.+p could never be forsaken. Coupled with the fact that Ji Shaolei was very careful with his speech skills, Ji Nanyue was very fond of him. Thus, very soon, they began to talk in a much more casual manner, as if they were family that had lived together for many years.
Of course, that sense of unfamiliarity could be dispelled so quickly, and second brother Ji Shalei"s speaking skills and slick personality played a big role as well.
He had to admit that in terms of communicating with others, Ji Shaolei"s actions were indeed outstanding. Ji Feng also admired him from the bottom of his heart. If he were in Ye Xiwen"s shoes, Ji Feng would not be so happy, but rather find him annoying.
It couldn"t be helped. This was a skill, and it was also determined by a person"s personality. Even if Ji Feng wanted to learn it, he wouldn"t be able to.
During this process, Chu w.a.n.gdong and his father, Chu Kangceng, came downstairs one after the other. However, when they came down, Ji Feng and the other two had already finished talking about the Shankou Group. As a result, up until now, the two of them still did not know about the destruction of the Shankou Group.
If the two of them knew, they wouldn"t be as calm as they were now.
"All of you have good prospects, I am relieved." Ji Nanyue said with emotion, "On the other hand, you two kids are actually worried about my aunt"s matter …""Auntie, if you say that, then San"er and I won"t have the face to continue staying here. We"re going to pack up and go back home!" Ji Shalei said.
"Auntie, you"re still being polite with us?" Ji Feng added, "Second brother, it seems that my aunt doesn"t see us as family..."
"You two brats, seriously …" Ji Nanyue didn"t know whether to laugh or cry after being squeezed by them. In the end, she could only helplessly say, "Alright, alright. I won"t be polite with you guys, stop playing tricks on me."
"Heh heh …" Ji Shaorei chuckled, took out a cigarette and pa.s.sed it to Chu Kangcai. "Uncle, let"s smoke."
However, Chu Kangcun waved his hand and smiled: "I don"t know how."
Ji Shaorei gave up on giving him. Chu Kangcun, the young uncle, wore gla.s.ses and was refined. He looked like a scholar with a lot of knowledge, and people like him were usually not good at lying or pretending.However, when Ji Nanyue swept a glance at him, he immediately shrunk his head back and put the cigarette on the table.
"Shaolei, you want to stop smoking and stop being healthy?" Ji Nanyue said.
"Hey!" Mainly because he was used to it... "Alright then, stop smoking from now on!" Ji Shaorei nodded with a smile and kept the cigarette."You, you only know how to play tricks with me. I really don"t know how your father taught you that kind of character!" Ji Nanyue shook her head.
Ji Shalei laughed, but Ji Feng was secretly shocked.
In fact, did Ji Shaorei really want to smoke?
Of course not, his addiction wasn"t that bad this early in the morning. Furthermore, even if he was really addicted to smoking, he wouldn"t smoke in front of his aunt. This wasn"t just a matter of politeness, but also respect for others.
The reason why Ji Shalei did this was because he wanted to increase his relations.h.i.+p with his aunt.
If he made a mistake and was criticized by his aunt, then it would be more like he was a family.He had to admit that after so many years of being in the business, although his life wasn"t that grand, at the very least, she had mastered a pair of Fiery Eyes of Truth and was able to see through his intentions with a single glance.
On this point, it was similar to that of his father and second uncle.
His father and the others fought hard in the government and reached a high position one step at a time. During this time, they experienced all sorts of scheming and scheming. They met all sorts of people, giving them the ability to see through others with a single glance.As for my aunt, I have been through a lot in the Merchant Sea, and during this time, she was also accompanied by hards.h.i.+ps and plots. If I can"t see through others" thoughts, how could she have come to this point?
However, even if the aunt saw through what her second brother was thinking, but after this criticism, they became even closer.
After they chatted for a while, the little uncle-in-law Chu Kangceng said, "You guys go ahead and chat, I have a topic to study."
Ji Feng and Gu Li immediately nodded. Just as they were about to stand up, Ji Nanyue said, "You don"t need to care about him. He"s just like this. Once he"s busy, he can"t care about anything else."
Chu Kangcai smiled, said h.e.l.lo to Ji Feng and the others, turned around and went upstairs.
However, Ji Feng did not mind at all. He could tell that this young uncle-in-law was not the kind of person who liked to be courteous to others. He was most likely a scholar or a researcher who was obsessed with his own field.
This kind of man actually gave people a lot of peace of mind.
Ji Feng couldn"t help but think that his aunt had a good home to return to. Perhaps, it was precisely because her father and the others weren"t in a hurry to have her return because her husband wasn"t a cunning person. A person like her definitely wouldn"t bully her."Shao Lei, I heard from Dong Fang that you joined the security department of Wida Group?" As soon as Chu Kangcun left, Ji Nanyue got down to business.
"Mm, since we are in trouble now, then I"ll just head straight into the inner parts of the Widal Corporation. It"ll be more convenient for me to do whatever I want." Ji Shaorei nodded, "However, Little Feng will be outside, and will be responsible for your safety."
"Shao Lei, tell me the truth. Why did you two brothers come to the United States this time?" However, Ji Nanyue did not continue to Ji Shaolei"s words. Instead, she directly asked, "Shaolei, I believe that you wouldn"t lie to my aunt, right?"
"This …" Ji Shalei and Ji Feng looked at each other before they bitterly smiled and nodded. "Since little aunt asked like that, I definitely won"t lie …"After a pause, Ji Shalei said, "Aunt, grandpa he …"
Ji Feng noticed that after Ji Shaolei finished speaking, his aunt Ji Nanyue"s pupils suddenly constricted. Her face immediately changed, and she subconsciously clasped her hands on her knees.He immediately thought to himself, "There"s hope!"
Aunt"s actions were obviously an extremely nervous subconscious reaction. This meant that she was still worried about the lordmaster in her heart.
"Your grandfather, he … "What"s wrong?" Ji Nanyue asked. If one were to pay close attention, one would notice that her voice was slightly trembling."Grandfather is already old, maybe … There"s not much time left. " Ji Feng said.
"..." Ji Nanyue was silent.
After a moment, she asked, "Is this what the doctor said?"
Ji Feng nodded. In fact, this was not what the doctor said, but what he said himself. However, he was certain that the doctor was not as accurate as he was.
Back then when the old man was in critical condition, Ji Feng had used his special effect electric current as well as bioelectric current to heal the old man as if nothing had happened. However, he was not a G.o.d after all, and the old man"s old age coupled with his poor health had caused him to be unable to withstand the corrosion of time, even with bioelectric current.
Humans would always age.
Back then, Ji Feng had determined that there wouldn"t be any problems within ten years, but now, three years had already pa.s.sed.
However, no one could guarantee that something unexpected would happen in the next few years. After all, there were too many unpredictable things in this world.
Thus, Ji Feng"s words were not an exaggeration.
After saying this, Ji Feng stared closely at Ji Nanyue"s face, watching the change in her expression.
The expression on her aunt"s face was the true reaction of her inner thoughts. And what she was thinking in her heart, she had already decided. This time, Ji Feng and the others were trying to convince her to return home, whether she would succeed or not …
