Supreme Heir Son-in-law

Chapter 1240 - 1239: Be a Good Underling

Xiao Keyu was thinking happily, while Lan Tian just shook his head. This kid was too overconfident, but Lan Tian definitely wouldn’t let this kid succeed.

After all, Xiao Keyi had been such a great help to him. Even at a critical moment, she hired him to be a spokesperson. He couldn’t allow anything to happen to Xiao Keyi.

But now, he still didn’t know what this kid was up to, so he dared not let him leave easily. He had no choice but to play along with him for now and discuss things carefully. When the moment came, he could shield Xiao Keyi. Otherwise, if he left now, this kid’s schemes wouldn’t rest easily. He would just find someone else.

Thinking of this, Lan Tian immediately smiled and quickly gave Xiao Keyu a thumbs up.

Xiao Keyu felt even more proud. So what if this big brother was great, wasn’t he still being fooled by him? He really was a business genius. If he actually joined the Xiao Group in the future, wouldn’t he lead it to flourish?

Unfortunately, those people just thought he was a kid and didn’t want to let him into the Xiao Group.

If he had the chance in the future, when he joined the Xiao Group, he would definitely get rid of everyone who opposed him.

"I never thought at such a young age you’d be so smart. If I were you, I’d be frustrated too. How could they treat a kid like this? It’s too much. And you’re a boy; you are obviously the rightful heir to the Xiao Group,"

Lan Tian said insincerely at this moment, and Xiao Keyu felt even more extraordinary: "Big brother, what you’re saying is completely true. These people don’t realize my value, so they ignore me. When they finally realize it, it’ll be too late. So, big brother, you have a good eye and are destined for big things. Stick with me and I promise you won’t be shortchanged."

Xiao Keyu was feeling a bit buoyed, thinking he really made quite a figure, to be praised by this big brother. Surely, Xiao Keyi and the family would have to respect him in the future.

Seeing that Xiao Keyu finally took the bait, Lan Tian curled his lips disdainfully. This Xiao Keyu was indeed easy to fool. No wonder the old chairman of the Xiao Group didn’t hand over power to him. If he did, the Xiao Group would probably be ruined by this brat.

"Big brother, since you have such good perception, let’s make a deal. Once our cooperation is successful, I’ll give you two thousand yuan. How does that sound?"

When Xiao Keyu said this, he felt even more extraordinary. Two thousand yuan a week was half of his allowance. To buy someone off with half his allowance to do anything for him was really clever.

Lan Tian almost spat out his drink with laughter. This kid was indeed amusing. Even though he wasn’t some big celebrity, he was quite popular for a while and did have some money. Two thousand yuan was nothing. But since he decided to work with this kid, he’d pretend to be greedy.

"Sorry, but that won’t do. Two thousand yuan isn’t enough for me to settle things with my guys."

Upon hearing Lan Tian’s words, Xiao Keyu’s eyes lit up. He didn’t expect the person he met casually to have followers, just like in the movies. Could they be part of a gang?

Maybe these people would take care of Xiao Keyi once and for all. Thinking of this, he felt he wasn’t losing out, and quickly held out five fingers.

"I thought you were alone, which would make things harder. But I didn’t expect you to have a crew. That’s great. As long as your crew follows me, you’ll enjoy all the benefits. This time, I can only give you five thousand yuan. If you’re willing, this will be the fee for our cooperation. What do you think?"

Although Xiao Keyu felt pained by giving away a week’s allowance, he thought it was worth it. He just needed to play fewer games and hang out less with friends. In exchange, he could eliminate a major concern. He felt he’d made a good deal.

Lan Tian smiled, knowing his second request was to make the kid think he had some power, so he wouldn’t easily involve others and further endanger Xiao Keyi.

"Although five thousand yuan is a bit low, since you’re planning a long-term cooperation with me, we can let it slide this time. Just remember to find us for your next job. We’ll handle it well."

Hearing that Lan Tian was willing to compromise and still wanted him as a future partner, Xiao Keyu was delighted. He patted Lan Tian’s shoulder like an adult.

"I didn’t expect you to have this understanding; it’s truly great. With this understanding, you’ll definitely not suffer following me. By the way, when do you plan to take action? Ideally, I want that person in the ER to leave this world permanently; at the very least, never wake up and take over the Xiao Group or enter our Xiao Family. Can you do that?"

Xiao Keyu spoke very lightly, while Lan Tian nodded and concealed any sparkle in his eyes, his lips curling into a smile, which Xiao Keyu saw as sly.

"That’s the way it should be. I’m relieved if you can manage it. Here’s my phone number; keep track of it. Call me once it’s done. But remember not to mention my name at all."

After hearing Xiao Keyu’s words, Lan Tian seriously nodded: "I understand, Boss. Rest assured, even if I fail, I won’t reveal your name. The favors you’ve shown me are unforgettable. I also hope you quickly transfer the money to my account."

Thinking of this, Xiao Keyu immediately transferred the money to Lan Tian. Satisfied with Lan Tian’s words, he hummed a tune and headed home. Lan Tian saw Xiao Keyu’s demeanor, shook his head, and chuckled. This kid was truly too naive, thinking life was a TV drama.

Such plots only happen on TV; a child like this would never survive reality. But given the circumstances, he could help Xiao Keyi.

And make sure to truly be a loyal underling.
