Chapter 17 Saving
"It's quite confident!" Tai Shijin couldn't help laughing when he heard Cao Bo's words, and Gan Chuang beside him didn't stop him this time, because he also felt that Cao Bo's words were a little big.
"Oh?" There was no change on Sun Xiao's face. He nodded slightly, and then looked at Liu Yan again: "I don't know what the owner of the Liu family thinks?"
Originally, when Sun Xiao finished his words just now, Liu Yan immediately had a plan. Liu Yan planned to participate in the competition together, so that they could not only learn from each other's strengths, but also finally win the opportunity to be shortlisted.
However, I didn't expect Cao Bo to take the lead in saying that he wanted to try it by himself. If Liu Yan talked about the alliance again, it would show that he had no confidence in the strength of the family. On the other, since Cao Bo had been thrown out and worked alone, it would be meaningless for the Sun and Liu families to merge or not. What's more, Liu Yan was still disgusted with the Sun family, such as If it weren't for this urgent matter, he wouldn't have come at all.
"Of course, our Liu family will not be inferior!" Liu Yan sat upright and seemed to be more confident: "As long as there is this opportunity, I think we will also enter the final list!" Although Liu Yan said it was tough, after all, it was Cao Bo who opened his mouth first. No matter what Liu Yan said, he felt a little worse. After all, his momentum was much worse.
Sun Xiao nodded, and then gently patted his hands and praised, "Okay! Sure enough, there are talented people in the country. I'm also very happy to see that Cao and Liu have successors!"
"But..." Sun Xiao's words turned to tell Cao Bo that the family participating in the competition had been selected for a long time. If Cao Bo and Liu Yan did not receive an invitation, it would be difficult to participate in the competition directly.
"That..." As soon as Liu Yan heard it, he took the opportunity to put forward the idea of a union, but this time Cao Bo took the lead.
"Since you can't participate in the competition directly, there should also be a qualifying match, right?" Cao Bo had an indifferent expression: "We will definitely show our strength. I don't think we will be inferior to any of your internal families!" This time, Cao Bo made Liu Yan disgraced again. Liu Yan swallowed what he had just said, and finally had to nod to agree with Cao Bo's opinion.
There was a trace of approval in Sun Xiao's eyes. He nodded again, but Sun Xiao paused and asked, "But I think you two know that since this matter is of great importance, they must choose the elites!"
Sun Xiao seemed to feel that he was a little boastful when he said this, so he quickly modified it: "Of course, they are invited by some families that they know the details. Maybe they are not familiar with you two, otherwise I dare to guarantee that you two must be among the invitations!"
Liu Yan waved his hand to make Sun Xiao not polite. Needless to say what happened to Cao Bo. Liu Yan knows his situation! He has sent people to contact that organization more than once. If they don't know that there is a family like the Liu family, it's really strange. The reason why I didn't invite Liu Yan is that I just feel that the momentum and energy of the Liu family are not enough.
"I'm an unknown person in the first place. Brother Sun, don't be polite." Cao Bo said modestly, and Sun Xiao saw that neither of them cared, so he continued to talk.
"I mean, even if they agree to you to participate in the qualifying competition in the end, the question must be very difficult. It's good for you two to pass naturally, if... I mean if." Sun Xiao hesitated for a moment, and Cao Bo interrupted from the side and said, "If we don't pass, won't we lose the reputation of the Cao and Liu families?"
Sun Xiao nodded after listening to Cao Bo's words. Obviously, Cao Bo said his worries.
"What is this?" Cao Bo still looked indifferent: "Anyway, the Cao family has disappeared for so many years. I don't think I can find those sidelines except me, right? Anyway, I'm anonymous. If I'm ashamed, I'll be ashamed. I don't care! What about you, Liu Yan?
You guy! When Liu Yan heard Cao Bo's words, although there was a smile on his face, he scolded Cao Bo countless sentences in his heart. Liu Yan and Cao Bo are completely different. Although their family background may be much worse than that of Sun Xiao, after all, many families in the Liu family have survived. What's more, Liu Yan has been indoctrinated with a large number of family concepts since he was a child. He has always believed that the strength of the Liu family is still second to none, so he will never allow himself to do anything to damage the reputation of the Liu family.
But now Liu Yan has shown the trend of riding a tiger. If he retreats at this time, not only will he make people laugh, but also the Liu family will lose its reputation, and the people of the Liu family will also be ashamed of having such a cowardly family owner.
So what else can Liu Yan do besides nodding? The only difference between him and Cao Bo is that Cao Bo is not afraid to wear shoes barefoot, while Liu Yan has too many concerns and scruples.
"I was going to propose that the three of us might as well unite, so that not only can we achieve the wishes of the two, but also make it easier for the three to break through!" Sun Xiao couldn't help but feel sorry when he said this. Cao Bo could see that Sun Xiao was definitely not pretentious, but Cao Bo was also puzzled, because he suddenly found that Sun Xiao's confidence in his Sun family's victory did not seem to be so sufficient, otherwise he would never have thought of the idea of the union of the three families.
But Cao Bo immediately thought that if even Sun Xiao did not have confidence, how terrible those competitors would be...
"In fact, you don't have to worry so much. After all, we have three teams to participate in the competition, so there is a better chance to be shortlisted, and we can take care of each other!" Cao Bo winked at the other two people: "Even if someone is eliminated, it's not too late to unite at that time!"
"This..." Sun Xiao hesitated for a moment, and then cast an inquiring look at Liu Yan. Of course, Liu Yan knew Cao Bo's intention: Now if it is an alliance, then Sun Xiao is the leader. After all, Cao Bo and Liu Yan defected to him, and even if they are the master, it doesn't make sense.
And if someone is eliminated, especially in case the two teams are eliminated and there is only one person left, then the union will naturally be the boss who is left, which is fair and can convince the public. After all, the person left is the most powerful of the three.
"This is a good proposal!" Liu Yan agreed immediately after figure it out, and Sun Xiao smiled bitterly and then nodded in agreement.
"Well, the three of us can't say this after all. I'll contact them immediately to see if I can give you a chance before the test!" Sun Xiao stood up here, and then said to Cao Bo and Liu Yan, "As long as there is news, I will inform you immediately. I also want to see how the strength of the two brothers is." It seems that the descendants are going to see the guests off.
Cao Bo immediately stood up. By the way, he also fished up the remaining half of the bottle of wine on the table and shook it at Sun Xiao.
"I think Brother Sun also asked to do something serious. Don't you have time to drink here?" Cao Bo twisted the cork of red wine and stuffed the bottle of 1982 Lafite: "Why don't you give me a souvenir of this bottle of wine? I happen to have a friend who knows a lot about drinking. Your bottle of wine will never be wasted!"
Sun Xiao seemed to be a little surprised to see Cao Bo's behavior, but in a flash, he nodded and said with a smile, "Okay, okay, Cao is really a straightforward person, not pretentious at all!" If that bottle of wine can be tasted by experts, it will naturally be its glory!"
"Wor-off!" Sun Xiao waved his hand, Gan Chuang and Tai Shijin made a gesture to see the guests off, and Liu Yan finally stood up. After he and Cao Bo left the booth one after another.
"Master, why did you promise the two of them! It's just two nobody, how can they compete with our Sun family? Tai Shijin waited until Cao Bo and the other two went downstairs far away before he hurriedly asked.
"Gan Chuang, what do you think of those two people?" Instead of answering Tai Shijin's question, Sun Xiao asked Gan Chuang, "You are older than me, and you have seen more people and things. Please help me analyze it."
"I really can't say it..." Gan Chuang thought about it for a while, and finally shook his head.
"What else is there? One is arrogant and the other is full of confidence. Neither of them is worth mentioning!" Taishi said disdainfully, while Sun Xiao stretched out his right index finger and shook it in front of him.
"Tai Shi, you are still too young. What you see is just a superficial phenomenon." Sun Xiao picked up the wine glass, but found that the wine in the glass had been drunk, and the wine bottle was taken away by Cao Bo. It seemed that tonight's wine could not be drunk.
Gan Chuang has served Sun Xiao for many years, so he knows Sun Xiao's habits best. As soon as he saw Sun Xiao holding an empty glass, he hurriedly asked, "Master, why don't I make another bottle of wine?"
"No, my father has long forbidden me to be greedy. Even good wine can only drink less every day." Sun Xiao shook his head and said, "I don't want to be scolded for no reason."
"Then I'll ask the store manager here to see if there is any good wine here?" Gan Chuang asked again, but Sun Xiao smiled slightly.
"Forget it, I won't drink today's wine! That Cao Bo is quite interesting, isn't it?" Sun Xiao looked at Gan Chuang, and Gan Chuang lowered his head and said, "That Liu Yan is not simple. According to our investigation, he is far from what he did today. It seems that he deliberately did this to paralyze us..."
Sun Xiao nodded after listening to Gan Chuang's words, and seemed to fully agree with the other party's words.
"In a word, these two people are both idle people. You must be careful!" Sun Xiao whispered, and Tai Shijin asked again, "Then tell them that they don't give this opportunity at all. Do you still want to look at their faces in the future?"
"Presumptuous!" Gan Chuang whispered, "Our owner is sure to win! Are you still afraid of the two of them? Don't grow other people's ambition and destroy your own prestige!"
Sun Xiao pointed to Tai Shijin and said, "You, you should learn more from Gan Chuang! There is no obvious hostility between us now. Maybe these two people can be used for us in the future? Don't waste any chance to make yourself strong!"
"Yes..." Tai Shijin bowed his head and retreated.
At this time, Cao Bo and Liu Yan just came out of the dance hall. After leaving the noisy environment, Cao Bo felt that the outside world was much more refreshing, far less annoying and complicated than in the ballroom.
"Do you think Sun Xiao can really help us?" Liu Yan suddenly asked, but Cao Bo did not answer directly.
"Then it depends on what kind of person he is!" Cao Bo shook half a bottle of wine in his hand: "But it doesn't matter even if I refuse. I got half a bottle of good wine. This thing can be worth more than 20,000 yuan..."
Liu Yan said, and then shook his head and muttered, "You are really a poor man!"
"Don't say that!" Cao Bo shook his fingers and said, "This is called economy!"
