Chapter 36: The Faces of Relatives
Wu Xiang came to his father, Wu Yurong's house, for the second time.
It is true that since the first time he stepped into Wu Yurong's new home, and met Cai Shufen, an obviously gentle and weak stepmother, and her lovely sister Wu Tingting for the first time, Wu Xiang did not feel resentful because of Cai Shufen's intervention and the divorce of her parents.
Of course, it would be wrong to say that there is no grievance, but Wu Xiang knows that it is his father Wu Yurong who is really wrong.
If Wu Yurong didn't pay attention and could keep his heart, he wouldn't have raised a junior outside, and gave birth to a younger sister to Wu Xiang.
If Cai Shufen is hateful and looks like that kind of snarky person, then Wu Xiang will definitely not give his father's new family a good look.
It's just that Cai Shufen and Wu Tingting are the kind of people who want to protect them when they look at them, and they have a good temperament, and at the same time, they are really good temperament, where did Wu Xiang get angry and destroy the family that had to be careful in front of him?
The busyness of his career and the formation of the company made Wu Xiang usually only occasionally talk to Wu Yurong on the phone, and he didn't have time to go over to eat and cultivate any relationship between his new family.
Therefore, this is really the second time that Wu Xiang has come to his father Wu Yurong's house as a guest, and it is also because some relatives in his father's family who are usually almost cut off from contact and basically do not lend a helping hand when they need it want to meet him.
Wu Xiang's car had just arrived at the south gate of Yuyuan Community, and a group of people were already waiting at the door, and Wu Yurong was in this group of people.
There are also people who are members of the community or passers-by who stop to watch out of curiosity.
In this battle, Wu Xiang could only smile helplessly, and he also saw that although his father Wu Yurong was also smiling in the crowd, his eyes also showed obvious helplessness.
He didn't actually want to, but relatives and friends came around, what could he do?
You can't refuse for your son, can you?
But he also knew that he could never promise anything for his son.
Then all he can do is let his son meet with these relatives and let his son make this decision.
As an entrepreneur who founded a Yurong trading company, as the boss, Wu Yurong also disagrees with the company's relatives who have entered some troubled waters to fish and cannot bring benefits to the company, but will only slow down the company's operation.
The car slowly stopped, Wu Xiang opened the door from the back seat, and walked out, and the one who came out of the co-pilot before him was Qu Hui, one of his three secretaries.
Wu Xiang's driver, Zhuo Yiheng, is also a personal bodyguard hired by Wu Xiang with a high salary.
After all, he is worth hundreds of millions of dollars, no, if the shares are converted, then Wu Xiang is not worth hundreds of millions of dollars, but at least tens of billions of dollars, which is not counting the mothership company of Starnet, but only the market value of the two subsidiaries of Starnet, Star Catalyst and Server, which are favored by SoftBank and Sequoia and invested in them.
With such a high value, without a personal bodyguard by his side, he can't say anything, not to mention that as the founder and sole owner of Xingwang Company, the hottest person on the Internet recently, the exposure is still so high, even if Wu Xiang wants to be low-key, it is impossible, if he really does that, it will only bring more trouble to Wu Xiang himself.
"Dad. Wu Xiang greeted his father Wu Yurong with a smile and hugged Wu Yurong, "I'm here." ”
"It's good to be here. The corners of Wu Yurong's eyes were slightly wet.
He was sorry for Wu Xiang and Jiang Yuqin's mother and son, and he formed another family, but his son did not alienate him because of this, and always respected him, a father who was actually incompetent, as in the past.
In Wu Xiang's growth process, Wu Yurong really didn't give Wu Xiang much care and love, completely free-range, and only gave money directly when Wu Xiang needed money.
This is just when Wu Xiang was in elementary school and junior high school, and he couldn't work to make money by himself, after Wu Xiang went to college, Wu Xiang didn't ask Wu Yurong for any money, but became a work-study student and self-sufficient.
As parents, Jiang Yuqin and Wu Yurong naturally remit money to Wu Xiang's account from time to time, but they are no longer the main burden of Wu Xiang's tuition and miscellaneous expenses, living expenses, and the money remitted to Wu Xiang is just used as Wu Xiang's pocket money.
But no matter how much money is given, it can't supplement the care and love of parents from time to time, let alone when there is not much money.
Wu Yurong is full of guilt for Wu Xiang's son.
After graduating from university, Wu Xiang also saved money by himself, and with the help of him and Jiang Yuqin, he opened an Internet café.
The help they gave was not too much, and as a result, Wu Yurong's Yurong Trading Company almost collapsed, and the money owed to the bank was almost repaid, and it was even more collected by gangsters because of 500,000 loan sharks.
If it weren't for Wu Xiang's Internet café suddenly booming, he became famous in Baoyang City, made money, and helped him pay off his debts in time, but I am afraid that as a father, he would have been prosecuted and detained at this moment because he could not pay off the bank loan.
Now, his son has created a great career of Xingwang Company, which is favored by internationally renowned venture capitalists, and Wu Yurong is proud of Wu Xiang.
In front of relatives and friends, Wu Yurong's waist is straighter than ever, and he is more confident than ever, because he has a good son who is worthy of such pride.
"Xiang, these are all people from our Wu family, all of them are from your uncles, and these people here are your cousins......"
At the gate of Yuyuan Community, after a brief introduction, Wu Xiang didn't remember who was with whom, so he was surrounded into the community, and entered Wu Yurong's house with a stiff smile all the way.
Cai Shufen and two or three women who didn't know which eight aunts and seven aunts were busy preparing meals at home, and when they heard the sound of boiling, they also hurriedly greeted them.
Cai Shufen was still a little anxious in front of Wu Xiang, and her hands seemed to be a little unsure of where to put them, and she hurriedly welcomed a group of people into the house.
"Yurong, your Wu Xiang is good, give us the long face of the Wu family ancestral hall, proud, proud. ”
Wu Genzhu, a very local name, Wu Yurong called him the fourth uncle.
"TOEFL, TOEFL, it's also my family's own fight, as a father, I didn't help him much, I relied on him to build this career, I'm ashamed. Wu Yurong said.
"yes, it's a big business, and it's said to be billions of dollars. Wu Futang next to him interjected, he and Wu Yurong are the same generation, they are cousins, but they are not the same grandfather, but the same grandfather.
Wu Yurong's grandfather is the younger brother of Wu Futang's grandfather, ranking fifth, and Wu Futang's grandfather is the third.
"Such a big business, but you have to be cautious, how can you do it without the help of your own people and help watch the company?"
"Yes, yes, Futang is right, Yurong, my Yinshu graduated from Zhaojiang University, an authentic undergraduate, what kind of CEO does he serve as a star network company, UFO or something, it's more than enough. Wu Futang's wife, Wu Xiang's third aunt, an obese middle-aged woman, pulled over a young man with meticulously combed hair, gold-rimmed glasses, and a hint of pride on his face.
"Hello cousin, I will definitely help you manage the ...... of Xingwang Company" Wu Yinshu said confidently, "I am in Zhaojiang University, majoring in economic management......
"Stop!" Wu Xiang said lightly, "I welcome all the elders and relatives to come as guests, if there is anything you need my help with, if you can do it, I will try to help, as for my company, the operation team under me is very well managed, so I don't have to worry about you." I have already booked a private room in Wangjiang Tower, and all relatives will have a light meal together. ”
"That's not the case, I said nephew, after all, your own people are your own people, how can outsiders trust them? Wu Futang admonished as soon as he relied on the old and sold the old.
"Elders, I respect you as elders, so I once again express what I mean, if you want me Wu Xiang to help, for the sake of being relatives and having the same blood, I will try my best to help, as for the star network company I founded, I will not let any relatives who do not meet my company's recruitment standards enter the job, and I will not say the same thing a second time!"
Wu Xiang said in a deep voice, a heavy force formed a momentum that made people feel some kind of pressure, and they didn't dare to look at him or refute it.
"I know better in my heart the little abacus in the hearts of your relatives and elders, but I don't want to say it so bluntly, you ask yourself, when my father's Yurong Trading Company was collected by the bank and faced bankruptcy liquidation, did you think about reaching out to help? Who can come over at that time and say that we are relatives, so we should help each other?"
Wu Xiang was also angry in his heart, from the few words of conversation between the two sides after entering the door, Wu Xiang didn't feel any respect.
They still regard themselves as juniors, high up and gaining inches, and they don't understand the change of identity and status at all.
actually relied on the identity of a relative and elder, he dared to open his mouth to arrange people to join his company, and even calculated his position.
If it weren't for Wu Xiang's calm heart, he would have been like most young people, and he would have been driven out long ago if he couldn't listen to unpleasant words.
These words made Wu Genzhu, Wu Futang, Wu Yinshu and some other relatives of the Wu family look very ugly and embarrassed.
However, so many relatives came this time, they only came together when they saw that Wu Yurong's family was developed, and they wanted to ask for some benefits, so they naturally would not be annoyed and angry because of what Wu Xiang said.
"Since the eldest nephew is unwilling, we are naturally not reluctant, and our starting point is also for the good cause of the Wu family......"
"It's not the Wu family's career, it's my career, I, Wu Xiang's career alone, don't have anything to do with the entire Wu family. Wu Xiang frowned, since the words were all spoken, he would not say any more tactful words or detours.
"Besides, is our Wu family very big?" Wu Xiang laughed at himself, it was not that he despised his own family, in fact, there was no family at all.
The Wu family opens and closes the Wu family, it seems that some big family, a big family, is actually just a few cousins' relatives, and they are also relatives who are not usually very close.
