chapter 2 Academic qualifications are not equal to knowledge

Clara Price carried the little girl into the VIP lounge in the lobby. She put the little girl on the sofa and said to Emory Williams, "Where are you from?"

Emory Williams smiled and said: "In a small Taoist temple in Wolong Mountain, Hebei, you wouldn't even know if I told you."

Clara Price frowned slightly, thinking that Emory Williams was talking nonsense, so she couldn't help but ask: "Then why did you come to Zhonghai City?"

Emory Williams leaned on the sofa and said with a smile: "I heard that Zhonghai City is prosperous, so I wanted to find something to do. Don't we rural people who come to the city all want to find a good job?"

Clara Price took off her sunglasses, revealing her bright and charming eyes. Her eyes were bright and clear, as bright as stars. Even if she frowned slightly, her eyes seemed to be overflowing with aura, and her noble look was naturally revealed.

Clara Price saw that Emory Williams was dumbfounded again, and said with some displeasure: "What happened just now? Why did Alberta get out of the car?"

The little girl interjected: "Mom, I got out of the car when I saw my father. I don't blame my father."

Clara Price touched the girl's head with a hint of reproach and said, "Alberta, he is not your father."

"Yes, he is the father." Tears welled up in the girl's eyes again.

Tang Hao waved his hand and sighed: "Look, I think it's quite baffling to me. That...Miss Lan, if I ask an abrupt question, where is your husband...?"

Clara Price's pretty face turned red, and she scolded: "What nonsense are you talking about? I'm not married yet, where can I get a husband?"

Tang Hao looked at the little girl and said in surprise: "Then isn't she your daughter?"

Clara Price sighed softly: "Alberta is my aunt's child."

"So that's it."Emory Williams suddenly realized. Looking at the little girl's face, the old god said solemnly: "God is fair to everyone, she will definitely be rich in the future."

Clara Price stroked Xiao Alberta's hair, her eyes full of doting: "I don't want her to be rich, I just want her to be happy."

"Dad, give me a hug." Xiao Alberta opened her little arms and said coquettishly.

Seeing such a cute little Alberta, Emory Williams couldn't bear to refuse. He walked to Xiao Alberta and hugged her.

"Lift it high, lift it high."Emory Williams threw Xiao Alberta up and caught her from time to time, making Xiao Alberta giggle with joy.

Clara Price looked at this warm scene and sighed softly: "Although I don't know why she called you daddy, I think she likes you very much. Don't you want to find a job? Just stay at my house, my family happens to be short of someone. How about a male nanny with a monthly salary of five thousand? Think about it."

"Okay."Emory Williams held Xiao Alberta in his arms and adjusted her collar.

Feeling the blood in his body accelerating, Emory Williams confirmed one thing more. This little girl really had something to do with him, otherwise the blood in his body would not be abnormal.

Emory Williams believed that everything had God's will. Since God allowed him to meet this little girl, there must be a reason.

"You and Alberta will play here for a while. I will take you home after the meeting."Clara Price stood up and regained her shrewd and capable look.

take me Home? I am a 7-foot-tall man, how can I go home with a woman casually? Emory Williams felt secretly happy in his heart.

After Clara Price left, Emory Williams grabbed Xiao Alberta's little hand and asked, "Alberta, why did you call me daddy?"

Xiao Alberta stared at Emory Williams with big eyes, tilted her head and said curiously: "You are my father."

"...Okay, I will never ask this kind of question again. I'll check it out myself." Tang Hao was speechless. It was difficult for adults to understand a child's mind.

After almost an hour, Clara Price returned to the VIP room again. She looked even more haggard than before. Her haggard and delicate temperament made every man feel a pinch in his heart. Like Emory Williams, The man among men was even more heartbroken.

Emory Williams stood up and asked with concern: "What happened?"

Clara Price looked at the young man, feeling a little warm in her heart. She said lightly: "It's okay, some trivial matters in the company, let's go."

Tang Hao bent down and picked up Xiao Alberta and asked, "Go back to your house directly?"

Clara Price looked down at her watch and said, "It's noon, let's find a place to eat first."

Emory Williams looked at Clara Price lack of energy and asked worriedly: "I see that you don't look well. Have you not slept well recently?"

Clara Price quickly returned to her calm state and said, "You don't have to worry about this. Let's go. Don't ask about things you shouldn't ask."

"I can finally have dinner with my parents." Xiao Alberta clapped her hands and was very happy.

Seeing the happy Xiao Alberta, a long-lost smile appeared on Clara Price lips.

Ten minutes later, the three of them drove to a Western restaurant with elegant decoration.

As soon as she walked into this western restaurant, Clara Price's expression suddenly changed slightly.

Sensing Clara Price's expression, Emory Williams also cast a doubtful look.

Opposite them, a handsome man in a suit walked over with an attentive face and said with a smile: "Aha, isn't this Clara? Hey, this gentleman's face is very unfamiliar. What should I call him?"

A cold glint flashed in the handsome man's eyes. Emory Williams saw this murderous intent in his eyes and immediately understood that this handsome man had misunderstood his identity with Clara Price.

"He is my father." Xiao Alberta said in a show-off manner.

The handsome man chuckled and said, "Oh? Clara, when did you have a boyfriend?"

Obviously, the handsome man also regarded Emory Williams as Clara Price's boyfriend.

Clara Price said indifferently: "Caspian Bright, do I still need to report to you when I find a boyfriend?"

Caspian Bright raised his hand, blocking Clara Price's way, and said with a smile: "Haha, of course not necessary, I don't care whether you find a boyfriend or not, but I want to remind you, don't forget the promise between us? "

Clara Price looked at Caspian Bright and asked, "What promise?"

Caspian Bright said with a sneer, "Do you still want to break your promise? Hum, but there is only one month left. If the payment is not paid, you have to make a choice, which is to hand over the shares of Price Group." Or do you want to marry me? Haha!"

Clara Price said angrily: "Don't even think about the two of them! I will pay you every penny."

Caspian Bright laughed loudly and said: "Don't think about it, the court will decide this. I would rather have you, but my dad still wants your Price Group, haha."

"Let's go!"Clara Price lowered her head and walked quickly past Caspian Bright. She could only hear waves of unbridled laughter coming from behind.

"Ouch!" Within two seconds, Caspian Bright's wild laughter stopped abruptly. He screamed like a dog that had stepped on its tail, and roared: "Who doesn't have eyes?"

Emory Williams hugged Xiao Alberta and said without any embarrassment in his eyes: "Sir, I'm really sorry. I was holding the child, but I really didn't expect you to put your feet under my feet."

"You! You did it on purpose!"Caspian Bright squatted on the ground, tears streaming down his face as he covered the pain in his right foot.

Emory Williams said sincerely: "I really can't see the road ahead, the child is blocking it."

"Ouch!" At this time, Caspian Bright, who was squatting on the ground, was knocked to the ground by Emory Williams who took a step forward.

Emory Williams glanced at Caspian Bright with an innocent look, as if to say: Look, I said I can't see the road.

Caspian Bright gritted his teeth angrily, but he didn't dare to act rashly without helpers around him.

Seeing Emory Williams leave triumphantly, Caspian Bright felt that his chest was about to explode with anger. He looked at Emory Williams's back and said viciously: "You brat, remember this!"

As soon as Tang Hao followed Clara Price, he heard Clara Price say softly: "Thank you."

Emory Williams asked doubtfully: "Thank you for what?"

Clara Price said: "Thank you for venting my anger on me."

Emory Williams laughed and said: "That boy has a face that deserves a beating. My old man said that men who care about women are not considered men."

Xiao Alberta hugged Emory Williams's neck, kissed him on the cheek, and giggled: "Dad is the best."

Seeing Xiao Alberta happy look, Clara Price fell silent again. After a while, she led Emory Williams into a private room.

The lighting in the private room is very dim, the carved leather sofa, the hollow artistic dining table, and the red candlelight set off a unique Chinese and Shanghai petty bourgeoisie atmosphere.

Emory Williams ate a piece of steak and asked, "Who was that person just now?"

Clara Price cut the steak for Xiao Alberta and said softly: "He is the eldest son of Tongda Group, his name is Caspian Bright."

Emory Williams smiled and said, "What do you mean by what he said to you? Is it convenient to tell you?"

Clara Price wiped her hands and sighed softly: "It's just competition in the shopping mall. Three months ago, our Price Group developed a new cosmetic product with an initial investment of 500 million, which is almost all of our Price Group Liquidity.”

Emory Williams frowned and said, "Something happened to the product?"

Clara Price seemed to have found someone to talk to, and said eloquently: "Well, before the listing, in order to carry out market operations, we borrowed another billion in cash. Just before the product was launched, Tongda Group suddenly claimed that the product was their patent. , and our R&D team also publicly admitted that it had stolen Tongda Group’s new product information.”

Hearing this, Emory Williams sighed: "I was framed."

Clara Price smoothed the hair that fell from her forehead and said with a helpless smile: "This is business competition. I was too careless. I don't blame anyone."

Emory Williams asked curiously: "What did the court say?"

Clara Price sighed softly: "All production lines are now stopped, and banks are constantly calling for payment. The court ruled that we should compensate Tongda Group for 200 million yuan in patent compensation and brand loss."

"Mom, don't be sad. When I grow up, I will help you make money." Xiao Alberta raised her hand, arranged Clara Price slightly messy hair, and said seriously.

A trace of relief appeared on Clara Price beautiful face. She stroked Xiao Alberta's face and smiled softly: "Okay, mommy is waiting for you to grow up."

Could it be that? Is this Clara Price a member of the Zhonghailan family? Wow, it can’t be such a coincidence, right? Did you meet the real owner when you came up? I still want to play it for a while! Emory Williams felt a little uncomfortable.

He still said: "There must be a way to reach the mountain. You don't have to worry, there will always be a way to solve it."

Clara Price smiled bitterly and asked, "Tell me about you? Are you really from Wolong Mountain?"

Emory Williams smiled and said: "Yes, I grew up in the Taoist temple in Wolong Mountain since I was a child."

Clara Price said softly: "Then you never went to school?"

Emory Williams smiled confidently and said: "I am learning what Land of the Red Dragon people should learn. In terms of academic qualifications, I may not even be considered a primary school student, but in terms of knowledge, I believe that university professors are not as good as me."

"Bragging."Clara Price covered her mouth and smiled, quite charmingly.

After all, Emory Williams is a young man. Especially in front of a peerless beauty, any man will have a strong desire to express himself. Tang Hao asked: "Why should I lie to you? I am proficient in classics, chess, calligraphy and painting, hexagrams, astrology, and traditional Chinese medicine." , I haven’t left behind any of the essence of the Land of the Red Dragon people.”

"Where can anyone learn this now?"Clara Price asked curiously.

Emory Williams grabbed Clara Price's hand abruptly and put his fingers on her wrist veins. After a while, Emory Williams said: "Judging from your pulse, not only did you not sleep well, did you Are you often cold and timid? Also accompanied by occasional heart palpitations?"

Clara Price was shocked: "How do you know?"

Emory Williams smiled proudly, took out a piece of light yellow mulberry paper from his pocket, and quickly wrote a prescription on it. He smiled and said: "You have a deficiency of qi, blood and spleen. Follow this prescription to take the medicine. Decoction the medicine once in the morning and evening, and you will be cured in seven days."

Clara Price took the prescription with disbelief and said softly: "Is this... is this true?"

This problem of hers has been with her for more than three years. She has been to many big hospitals and all kinds of advanced instruments can't detect the problem. She didn't expect that it could be resolved so easily in the hands of this young man.

Clara Price took the prescription and saw that the handwriting on it was elegant, vigorous, and even more beautiful than modern calligraphy. This handwriting alone was something that few people in this era could compare with.

Clara Price put the prescription into her bag and said with a smile, "Thank you."

After eating, Xiao Alberta said a little confused: "Mom, I'm a little sleepy."

Clara Price hugged Xiao Alberta and said, "Then let's go home and sleep, okay?"
