Chapter 947 Jiang Hua's quick wit
The Guo family mansion.
"Grandma, Jiang Hua has gone too far. He is treacherous!"
Guo Zhaoming's face turned red and he was filled with indignation.
Just now, Tang Group held a press conference and announced the project to develop New Territories North. The other three important partners of the project are, in addition to Jianghua and Baojia, and Tang Jiande's Tangde Industrial.
This project was originally proposed by the old lady of the Guo family. Now that the project has been officially launched, Jiang Hua has excluded the Guo family, which makes many people in the Guo family very angry.
However, this does not include Guo Zhaoming. He is angry on the surface, but secretly happy in his heart. He has been opposed to this project from the beginning.
"Grandma, we can't just let it go. We must give Jiang Hua some color."
Guo Zhaoming’s eyes flashed.
He has never been broad-minded. Last time Jiang Hua bluntly said that his vision was not clear enough, which made him hold a grudge.
In addition, during this period of time, Mr. Li was fanning the evil wind inside to light up the will-o'-the-wisp. The cooperation between him and Jiang Hua disappeared, and he began to be hostile and jealous of Jiang Hua.
The old lady of the Guo family ignored her grandson's shouting and sat quietly at the stone table in the courtyard, squinting her eyes and looking at the birds on the branches.
"Grandma, why don't you say something?"
Guo Zhaoming was angry and anxious.
He was jumping up and down just now, performing so well, but Mrs. Guo didn't even have an expression on her face. Has he become a one-man show clown?
"How many birds are there in the tree?"
Mrs. Guo asked calmly.
"How do I know this? I have never studied this."
Guo Zhaoming looked swaying, but at the same time he was a little confused. He was chatting with his grandma about business, and grandma asked him what he was doing.
"If I kill one with a slingshot, how many will be left?"
Mrs. Guo still kept silent about the project being robbed. She leisurely picked up the tea cup and took a sip of tea.
Guo Zhaoming was extremely irritable. He wondered if his grandma was old and had some Alzheimer's disease. She was still talking about nothing at this time.
However, Mrs. Guo has great authority in the family. Even if the questions she asks drive him crazy, he must answer them.
After counting on the tree with his fingers, he answered very confidently: "There are five birds in the tree. One has been killed, and four are left."
"Idiot, no wonder Jiang Hua doesn't dare to cooperate with the Guo family."
Mrs. Guo glared at her grandson angrily.
"Five minus one, doesn't it equal four?"
Guo Zhaoming felt that he was too unjust. Jiang Hua said that he did not have enough vision, so that was it. Why did even grandma say that he was stupid?
"If you kill one bird, the rest will be scared away, so there won't be any birds left in the tree."
A crisp voice came from behind.
"You're the only smart one, right?"
Guo Zhaoming became angry and turned around to glare at his cousin.
"Grandma, Jiang Hua is here and wants to see you."
A girl with delicate features stood behind Mrs. Guo and said in a respectful tone.
She is the daughter of Guo Zhaoming's second uncle, her name is Guo Yunhui, she is seventeen years old, she is still studying, and she will go back to her old house to visit her grandma this weekend.
"I guess it's time for him to come. Ask Uncle Wang, the chef, to prepare more dishes for tonight."
Old Mrs. Guo stood up from the bamboo couch with a cane.
"Grandma, he has humiliated our Guo family so much, are you still going to let him have dinner?"
Guo Zhaoming asked with his eyes widened.
"Go back to your room and stay there. When will you learn to count birds? When will you go out again?"
Old Mrs. Guo slapped her crutch hard and said angrily.
Although she stayed in her old house every day, eating fast and chanting Buddha's name, nothing that happened outside could be hidden from her ears.
She knew very well that Guo Zhaoming parted ways with Jiang Hua and got involved with Mr. Li.
She felt that her grandson, who appeared to be smart on the surface, was actually really stupid. He gave up a friend who could change his life and turned around to become a brother to a jackal with ulterior motives.
If the Guo family's inheritance fell into his hands, she was worried that one day after her death, she would be so angry that she would lift up the coffin and sit up.
"Cousin, you can go back to your room and count the birds safely. I will bring you dinner."
Guo Yunhui made a playful face and said happily.
Because the previous generation was not in harmony with each other and often fought with each other, the cousins of the three generations of the Guo family were also somewhat estranged from each other. When they met each other, they mostly used cynicism.
Guo Zhaoming held back his anger, but he did not dare to disobey Mrs. Guo's order. He looked miserable and went back to his room to think about his mistakes behind closed doors.
As soon as he left, Jiang Hua came in.
The housekeeper led the way, and Jiang Hua walked into the courtyard with a big durian in his hand.
Before the person came close, he shouted to Mrs. Guo from a long distance away: "Old Mrs. Guo, I'm here to apologize."
He said he was apologizing, but with a smile on his face, he didn't even look like he was apologizing at all, as if he was a guest at his door.
"What's that in your hand?"
Old Mrs. Guo was old and her eyesight was not very good. She only saw Jiang Hua holding a big guy in his hand, which was covered in thorns and looked scary.
"Durian, don't look at it. It's covered in thorns, but it has a universe in its belly. Just like you, Mrs. Guo, it has a big belly and can accommodate people."
Jiang Hua smiled and flattered him.
This time he developed the New Territories North and left the Guo family aside. What he did was indeed a bit unethical.
After all, Mrs. Guo is the initiator of this project, and he is a cut-throat person.
"Come on, everyone knows that durian smells bad, are you just cursing me in a roundabout way?"
Mrs. Guo said angrily.
"Pfft!"
Guo Yunhui covered her mouth and snickered from the side. She thought Jiang Hua was quite strange, but no one came to apologize or bring a durian.
"Old lady, you have wronged me."
Jiang Hua looked embarrassed.
His visit to the Guo family was completely impromptu. The Tang Group held a press conference without consulting him, which made him somewhat passive.
When people were almost at Guo's house, he realized that he came empty-handed.
How could this be possible? He was here to ease the relationship with the Guo family, and it was a bit of a slap in the face when he came to the house empty-handed.
There happened to be a fruit stall on the roadside, so he didn't think much and just picked the most expensive durian.
"Sit down, don't mention the durian, I can't smell it."
Mrs. Guo sighed.
If Jianghua was burning bridges ten years ago, the Guo family would not just let it go, but the environment is different now.
"Old lady, what I did in the New Territories North project was indeed unethical. I will accept the punishment for this matter."
Jiang Hua threw the durian aside and walked over to him very bachelorly.
If he were asked to choose again, he would still leave the Guo family aside and gather his own team to start a new business, but this does not mean that he wants to make the Guo family an enemy.
