Siheyuan's Silly Pillar has been replaced by someone else

Chapter 2551 He Xiao was persuaded

The conversation is unlikely to end so easily.

Mentioning Sha Zhu was just the beginning; Guan Shan's main focus was yet to come.

"I have something else to tell you, about Sha Zhu. Do you want to hear it?"

He Xiao looked up: "Why are you still calling him 'Silly Zhu'?"

Guan Shan quickly apologized: "I saw you were in a bad mood, so I didn't dare to change my mind."

"So, should I call him Uncle or Dad? I'll do whatever you say."

What should we call Sha Zhu?

He Xiao suddenly thought of Xiao Dang, his caring older sister.

He still felt a certain fondness for Xiao Dang.

"Just call him Uncle Silly. Everyone else calls him that too."

"Silly Uncle?" This title was somewhat unexpected for Guan Shan.

Guan Shan assumed that since Sha Zhu was He Xiao's biological father, and He Xiao had acknowledged it.

He should at least call me uncle.

Who would have thought that He Xiao would actually make him call him "Silly Uncle"?

Why add the word "stupid" when everything is fine?

If Jin Jichuan hadn't told her that Sha Zhu's surname was He, she would have thought that Sha Zhu's surname was really Sha.

"Yes, call him Uncle Silly. He likes it when people call him that."

When He Xiao mentioned Sha Zhu again, his tone was much more natural.

He remembered that when Lou Xiao'e was still living in the courtyard house, Xiao Dang and Xiao Huaihua called Sha Zhu that.

As for the "stick" meme, it's always called "Silly Pillar".

Guan Shan is a smart woman and knows there are many hidden details involved.

She didn't rush to ask, but instead revealed her real purpose.

"I also heard something. After Mr. He saved Uncle Sha, the two became very close."

Since Uncle Sha is your biological father, I think he should recognize you.

He Xiao asked in confusion, "If he recognized me, why didn't he say so yesterday?"

Guan Shan said, "He didn't say it, but didn't you notice?"

The way he looks at you is scrutinizing and probing.

Maybe he's suspicious of you.

"Why do you doubt me?" He Xiao asked, puzzled.

Guan Shan said, "These are all my guesses. Don't be angry if I tell you."

Either he simply didn't know about your relationship with Sha Zhu. He wasn't sure at the time, which is why he didn't say anything.

Either they know that Uncle Sha has a son, but they don't know about your relationship with Uncle Sha.

He thought, "You're doing so well now, yet you don't visit your own father."

He Xiao recalled the words Sha Zhu had said when she left back then.

Sha Zhu went crazy at the time, believing Yi Zhonghai's words and treating him as an unfilial son.

When he chose to leave with Lou Xiao'e, he was labeled by Sha Zhu as a snob who loved the rich and hated the poor.

Sha Zhu firmly stated at the time that he would no longer acknowledge him as his son.

So after returning to Hong Kong, he changed his surname to He Xiao.

He had spent several years with Sha Zhu and knew his temperament quite well.

Sha Zhu is the kind of person who will keep his word, even if it means risking his reputation.

Sha Zhu said that if he didn't have a son like him, he definitely wouldn't have acknowledged him as his son.

It's not surprising that Sha Zhu doesn't talk about his affairs with others.

"He probably doesn't know... he's stupid... to have a son like me."

Guan Shan didn't argue, but suggested quietly, "I think we should take the initiative to go find him, whether he knows it or not."

Didn't you want to get involved in the project he was in charge of?

"With Uncle Sha's connections, maybe it can work out."

He Xiao shook his head: "It's not that simple. Their projects, backed by Huawei, can succeed no matter who they cooperate with."

How could he possibly agree based on that relationship alone?

Seeing that He Xiao wasn't falling for it, Guan Shan became a little anxious: "How will you know if you don't try?"

Large projects attract too many eyes, making it impossible for us to participate.

But for some smaller projects, I can always make the decisions.

This is a very good opportunity.

Your mother got your younger brother a job at the company and gave him a lot of support. Recently, your company was reported to the authorities. Your mother didn't let you handle it at all; she left it all to your brother.

Now, in the company, the shareholders and employees all listen to him.

If this continues, will you still have a place in the company?

I want to marry you, but your mother disagrees.

Isn't it because we lack the confidence to speak?

If we had a partnership with Huawei, things would be different.

I just want to have a stable home with you, and then have a child with you, I...

"Waaah..."

He Xiao softened a little after Guan Shan's words.

"Don't cry. It's not that I don't want to go. I'm just afraid of upsetting my mom."

"You don't know, my mom and dad have had a falling out a long time ago."

Guan Shan stopped crying after hearing He Xiao's explanation and leaned against him.

"Although I don't know why Mom and Uncle Sha had a falling out."

But I don't think this is a big problem.

Think about it, cooperating with Huawei is a project worth hundreds of millions, or even tens or hundreds of billions.

My mother is a strong woman; she would never give up an opportunity for advancement because of some petty grudges.

My mother has managed to run such a large business; she won't be swayed by emotions.

If Mom really refuses to cooperate because of Uncle Sha, I won't say anything.

I'm afraid she'll delegate the collaboration to Chen Yunan and Liang Menghua.

Liang Menghua is He Xiao's wife. The couple had a falling out because of He Xiao's affair with Guan Shan.

Lou Xiao'e trusted Liang Menghua and even let Liang Menghua join the company to participate in its affairs.

Hearing Guan Shan mention these two people made He Xiao feel very bad, and even more so, she was afraid.

Lou Xiao'e suffered at the hands of Qin Huairu, a widow, throughout her life, and harbored a deep hatred for her.

Basically, no widow had a good impression of Lou Xiao'e.

In order to force him to break up with Guan Shan, Lou Xiao'e had already made it clear in the company that if he didn't break up with Guan Shan, he wouldn't be allowed to participate in the company's decision-making.

Lou Xiao'e even imposed restrictions on his use of money from the company.

Fortunately, he was Lou Xiao'e's most beloved son, so she didn't completely destroy him and cut off his money.

If Chen Yunan and Liang Menghua can actually secure a partnership, the company's shareholders will definitely no longer support him.

"You're right, I'll contact Mr. He right away."

He Xiao searched through her phone for a while before realizing she didn't have He Yuzhu's contact information.

"I forgot to ask him for his contact information yesterday."

Guan Shan quickly said, "That's alright. You have Mr. Chen's phone number, you can call him."

He Xiao realized what was happening and immediately called Chen Chuanqi.

When Chen Chuanqi received his call, he was a little surprised: "Mr. Lou, is there something you need?"

He Xiao smiled and said, "I'd like to invite Mr. He to dinner. Could Mr. Chen help me with that?"

Chen Chuanqi said, "I'm afraid that won't work. Here's the thing."

His company has a meeting, and after the meeting, he will return to Beijing.

Hearing this, He Xiao did not seem to want to give up: "President Chen, I really have something important to discuss with President He."

"What is it? Is it convenient for you to tell me? If it is, I will pass it on for you," Chen Chuanqi asked curiously.

He Xiao felt a little embarrassed and didn't want too many people to know about Sha Zhu's situation.

Guan Shan whispered to him, "President Chen and President He are classmates, so they probably already knew."

"Don't hide it anymore."

He Xiao thought it made sense, so he said, "I wanted to ask about my father."

Chen Chuanqi knew it was Sha Zhu's doing, but he didn't admit it.

"He knows your father? That shouldn't be the case. If he did, he would have brought it up yesterday."

He Xiao gave a wry smile: "It's the old man he saved. I just heard about it from someone else."

Now that I know, I just wanted to thank him.

Chen Chuanqi pretended to be hearing about this for the first time, asked a few questions, and said he would help pass on the message.

Upon hearing the news, He Yuzhu immediately refused.

There's no need to see He Xiao for now. (End of Chapter)
