132 Who is a fool?
132 Who is a fool?
At the end of the banquet, Richard followed him sullenly to the car.
As soon as he sat down, Richard couldn't wait to complain, "Daddy, why are you giving that hillbilly a present? Don't you know that if it weren't for that stupidity, Sophia would have been my fiancΓ©e?"
Li Chaoren habitually turned on the lights in the car, picked up the "Tao Te Ching" that he had read countless times, pulled out the bookmark, and looked at it silently.
"Daddy, why don't you speak? Is a broken book more important than your son's lifelong happiness?" said Richard, snatching the book.
"Presumptuous!
Li Chao's family was very strict, and as soon as his face sank, Richard was intimidated.
"Daddy, don't be angry, I'm not in a hurry!"
"What is there to be anxious about. What should be yours is yours, what shouldn't be yours, and you can't force it!"
"That's the conclusion you came to from reading the book, quiet and inactive?" Richard sneered, "In that case, what kind of business do we have, just engage in charity." β
Although his son's words were not good, Li Chaoren still said calmly: "The husband is doing nothing, so he can do everything." You're too young to understand the implications, and I don't blame you. But you can't denigrate the writings of the sages, and you can't be dissatisfied with doing charity. β
"I don't, and I love doing charity. But I really can't agree with your quiet and inactive approach!"
"Feelings can't be forced, they can be followed. To do business, it is natural to pay attention to attacking strongly and expanding the territory. Otherwise, why would I want you to go to the United States to study and receive a Western-style education? Tell me, what have you learned in the United States?"
Speaking of the experience of studying abroad, Richard is also full of grievances.
The second son of a wealthy man has to eat in the canteen every day, do odd jobs, earn his own food expenses, and must be A in his studies. If one of the subjects is not A, you will have to figure out how to pay for the next semester.
Without the help of a little family connection, after finishing middle school, he was admitted to Stanford University with honors, and he talked about the past and the present with those proud sons, which was very beautiful.
No, just after returning from school, his father gave him a start-up capital of 400 million US dollars to establish a satellite TV station, which has been prosperous in just three years, and it has successfully changed hands at a high price of 950 million.
Don't look at Wuda in the past two years, he has been running around, digging out his heart and working hard, compared with others, it is still far behind!
According to Richard's vision, as long as he can marry the Wei family and use the strength of the Wei family, he can come out early to work alone, get rid of the influence of his calm old and spicy baby-like brother, and completely realize his dream.
"What are your dreams? Find more girlfriends? What's the matter with you and that Japanese anchor, you change girlfriends every few days, your mommy doesn't like it. β
Li Chaoren has always been indifferent to his son's feelings.
But while you are playing with a Japanese female anchor, you are not clear with the female lawyer in Central. The female lawyer's father is still a friend of Li Chaoren, which is very embarrassing!
To be honest, if he had a daughter, he wouldn't marry Richard.
Don't say anything about money or not, the Wei family's money is not necessarily less than their own.
That is, it has always pursued a low-key strategy, and outsiders can't figure out the details, so they think that the Wei family may be just a declining nobleman.
But the bigger the business became, the more shocked Li Chaoren became. Almost all the large enterprises in the port seem to be inextricably linked with the Wei family.
Even in his own company, there are many shadows of the Wei family, both bright and dark.
That is, Wesley is not a businessman, and he is not keen on external expansion. Otherwise, maybe his layout will have a fierce conflict with the Wei family.
"Don't provoke Wuda in the future. This man is of unknown origin, and it is not something you can deal with. β
"Cut, is it worth my help for that stupid shortage? I don't know how he deceived Sophia, is it because of his good health?"
Syllable!
Seeing that the more his son talked, the more he didn't like it, Li Chaoren couldn't bear it and gave him a slap: "Who gave you the guts to dare to despise an enemy who can't see through? Today, Chen Baoqi and Wei Jizong didn't appear, don't you think it's strange?"
"Is there something wrong?"
"Idiot, if it were my birthday, would you run around?"
"That's not necessarily ......," Richard muttered, covering his face.
"Huh?"
"No, absolutely not, it's all right!" Richard rubbed his face as he flattered his daddy, "You're the oldest...... After a lot of calculations, you can analyze what the reason is. β
"There must have been a big change in the Wei family, and it was a great change. The cause is likely to be in Wu Da. β
"It's impossible, right? He's a mainlander, and he can have such great ability?"
"So, I can't see through it!" Li Chaoren sighed, "I suspect that there is a force behind him that we don't know about." This person, you can only be a friend, not an enemy, do you remember?"
"What about business, am I going to avoid him altogether?"
Richard took the information of Wuda that the secretary quickly sorted out, skimmed it cursoryly, and said: "On the bright side, this person is a businessman. There are some ideas that I also have to admire. But because of the weak foundation, it is impossible to catch up with our family in a short time. β
"Of course not. Li Chaoren is very confident in his business acumen and layout, "Business matters, of course, are in accordance with business rules." As long as it is not in the port, the fight is still to be fought. In business, who has our Li family been afraid of?"
β¦β¦β¦β¦
"Did you do it?"
In the garden, when the guests were gone, Sophia took Wuda's arm for a walk and asked the doubts in her heart.
"What? I didn't do anything, or we ...... at night," Wuda gave Sophia a flying look, pretending to be sexy.
"Pretend, you pretend!" Sophia twisted Vuda's arm hatefully.
The pig iron-like arm didn't move at all, but Wu Da was already screaming again and again: "Lady, spare your life! I won't go to Qinglou next time!"
"What nonsense? Where did Chen Baoqi and my brother go? It is impossible for them not to show up on such an important occasion today. Sophia showed her reasoning skills, "The strangest thing is that neither Grandpa nor Daddy talked about it. Are you hiding something from me?"
Paper can't hold the fire, and the snow can't cover the flight.
Keeping it in hiding for a long time will only make Sophia feel that she has been fooled, which will have a negative impact on her future life.
After listening to Wuda's explanation, Sophia first opened her mouth in shock, and then covered it sadly.
Mommy's unexpected death has made her miserable. Now, is Daddy going to leave him? In this world, there are no more relatives?
Daddy is innocent!
Stumbling along the way, Sophia ran into the study, threw herself into Wesley's arms, and began to cry loudly.
"You know everything?"
Wesley laughed miserably, and suddenly pushed Sophia away again: "No, you can't touch me now, I'm afraid I'll infect you." You have a bright future, and I can't hurt you!"
Sophia grabbed Wesley and put it in her face, "It's okay, Daddy." You used to like to touch my face the most, have you forgotten?"
As her daughter grew up, she became more and more separated from herself.
I am also addicted to illusory feelings, but I ignore that this little girl who likes to hug herself the most since she was a child has found someone who loves her and protects her.
Wesley trembled, trying to wipe away Sophia's tears, but his hands froze in the air for fear that the damn virus would infect his daughter.
Wei Zhonghuang tilted his head fiercely, so that the tears in his eyes would not flow, and pretended to be indifferent and said: "A bunch of fools!"
