Chapter 142: My Daughter
After listening to Zhou Yanqing's words, Cheng Xunxun decided to hold a family banquet to get a brief understanding of the people of the Tang family.
Before holding a family banquet, she had a meal with Tang Shizong in the name of Zhou Yanqing.
Tang Shijin has two immediate family members, one of whom is seriously ill and has long lost his real power. and childless under his knees. There are only two sons-in-law, and their status in the Tang clan is average. The other is Tang Shizong. Earlier, he was on an equal footing with Tang Shijin, and his status was no different. But when Tang Yawen had an accident and Tang Shijin's spirit was hit hard, Tang Shizong trapped him in Buyi and wanted to drag him down from the main seat, completely ignoring brotherhood.
Speaking of this matter, Tang Yisen did a lot of efforts, and it was also because of Tang Yisen's indefatigability at that time, in the days when he was set aside, Tang Yisen was still loyal to him and confused his eyes, and it was during those days that trust was established between the two. Come on now. Tang Yisen didn't do that because he was really loyal to Tang Shijin, in the final analysis, he was just for himself.
In Tang Shijin's concept, you don't need to be disloyal a hundred times, not to mention that you are still your own brother who is photographed. After this incident. Although Tang Shizong's family still remained in the Tang Group, they have not done much, and all aspects have been suppressed.
When Tang Shijin talked about it, he also regretted it a little, if he could leave some leeway, then in the company. Cheng Xunxun can be regarded as an alliance.
After getting off work in the evening, Zhou Yanqing's car was already waiting there.
Cheng Xunxun came down with Meng Yi, and when he arrived at the door of the company, Meng Yi saw the car listening not far away, smiled lowly, glanced at her, and said, "Master Friday is here." ”
"yes, he called me when I was upstairs. ”
He smiled and said, "Okay, then I'll go first." ”
"Hmm. ”
Cheng Xunxun stood in place, watching Meng Yi walk away before walking in the direction of the car, opened the car door, and bent over to sit in.
Zhou Yanqing glanced at her sideways and said with a smile: "It's a little there." ”
"What?" Cheng Xunxun put the bag on one side and raised his hand to brush his hair.
Zhou Yanqing raised his hand to look at the time and said, "It's nothing, do you want to go back and change your clothes and go over?" There is still an hour and a half before the time we agreed. ”
Cheng Xunxun thought for a while and asked, "Do you seem to be in time?"
"Just in time. ”
"Okay, let's go back first. ”
Subsequently, the two went home together, and Cheng Xunxuan took a bath by the way, and the clothes were picked by Zhou Yanqing for her, light color. Same as the previous workplace clothes, completely two styles, this set of clothes is less of an aura, the whole person looks more gentle, she rearranged her hair, quite a bit of a virtuous housewife.
They stepped on the order to the private dining room, and Tang Shizong came over with his son, five minutes early. As soon as the door of the private room was pushed open, Tang Shizong and Tang Lai stood up together, and when they saw someone coming, Tang Shizong's expression paused, probably because he didn't expect Cheng Xunxun to come over together. But after thinking about it, these two are husband and wife, and he and Zhou Yanqing have never had any intersection, and suddenly asked him for dinner, I didn't understand the reason before, but now it is clear.
I think that Zhou Yanqing is just a middleman, and it is Cheng Xunxuan who really wants to invite him to dinner.
Cheng Xunxun smiled at Tang Lai and shouted, "Little grandfather." ”
Tang Shizong understood their intentions, so he raised his chin slightly, sat down slowly, and said, "It turned out to be Xiaoxi, if you want to invite me to dinner, just call me directly, why bother Master Wu." It's been a while since your identity was restored, and it's not like I don't know that you are really Tang Weixi. Not to mention, I really wanted to find a chance to have a meal with you and get to know you well. ”
"It's just right now, you're kind of bumping into my mind. Tang Shizong smiled, beckoned to them, and said, "What are you doing standing, come and sit." ”
Zhou Yanqing stood behind Cheng Xunxun and secretly pushed her, Cheng Xunxun took two steps forward, and then the two of them went over together and took their seats.
Zhou Yanqing politely stretched out his hand to Tang Shizong, and politely called out with Cheng Xunxun, "Hello, little grandfather." ”
Zhou Yanqing's recent momentum in the business world is good, Tang Shizong will also respect her a little, unconsciously stood up, reached out to hold his hand, and said with a smile: "Unexpectedly, in the end, we still became relatives, my second brother would be very happy if he knew, but unfortunately he is lying on the hospital bed now, and he doesn't know what is happening outside." ”
"I just hope that my grandfather will wake up and not be too angry, after all, my grandfather didn't like me very much before. ”
Tang Shizong waved his hand and said, "How could it be, it was because of that fake before." At that time, who would have thought that you would marry a real daughter, and it was also fate. ”
As they spoke, they let go of their hands.
Cheng Xunxun pointed at Tang Lai and said, "Uncle." ”
"Uncle. Zhou Yanqing also shouted, and the two shook hands.
Afterwards, Cheng Xunxuan sat down with Zhou Yanqing, and then the manager of the restaurant knocked on the door and walked in, asking if he wanted to serve the food, Zhou Yanqing followed Tang Shizong's advice and opened another bottle of red wine.
Soon after, the dishes were ready.
Men talk to each other, women can't interject, Cheng Xunxun sat on the side with a smile and listened, their topics ranged from the global economy, to national affairs, to some small things around them, and finally slowly talked about family matters.
Halfway through the meal, Tang Shizong also drank a lot of wine, his eyes kept between Cheng Xunxun and Zhou Yanqing, turning around, and the topic would turn to his career. Tang Wei didn't talk much, and after a meal, there were no more than ten sentences in total. Cheng Xunxun knows something about him, he belongs to Adou who can't afford it, not only is he disobedient, but he has always done his own thing, and it seems that he is not as interested in Tang's meat as his father.
Cheng Xunxun toasted him with a glass of wine, and asked by the way: "Why didn't my aunt come over together?" I heard in the company that she is very capable, and most of the company's current reputation is due to her. My aunt is a strong woman, and I also want to learn from her how a woman can be like her, take charge of herself, and be able to play in any scene. ”
When Tang Shizong heard this, the smile on his face faded a little, and Cheng Xunxun immediately changed his tone and said with a smile: "Of course, if my aunt can have such an achievement now, she must have inherited the ability of my little grandfather." My aunt is not here, and it's the same with my grandfather, but I don't know if I have the luck to get your guidance from my grandfather. ”
Cheng Xunxun's words sound nothing on the surface, but when you think about it carefully, there is another meaning in it.
As soon as these words came out, even Tang Lai, who was eating with his eyes lowered, raised his eyes and glanced at her, it was obvious that he was the first to understand the meaning of her words, Cheng Xunxun noticed his gaze, glanced at him with a slight tilt of his head, and pursed his lips and smiled slightly to show politeness.
Tang Shizong drank a little wine, his reaction was not so fast, he deviated from the point, sneered, and said: "My daughter? Is she still my daughter now? They all say that my daughter is a money-loser, but I didn't think it before, but now I have a deep understanding, and I really think it's eating things inside and out! I haven't married yet, so I don't know what my surname is!"
Tang Shizong said indignantly, and as soon as the words fell, Tang Lai raised his hand and clasped his arm, secretly used some strength, and looked at him deeply, and said, "Dad." ”
In a few seconds, he suddenly straightened his mind, first laughed dryly, and then recalled Cheng Xunxun's words, there was a hint of ridicule in his laughter, he shook his head, raised his eyes to look at Cheng Xunxun, and said, "Advise me?" Did I hear it wrong, you said to teach me?"
Cheng Xunxun ignored his previous words, still smiled and nodded, and said, "Yes, I don't know if I have this honor." ”
Before the words fell, Tang Shizong laughed, and after laughing for a while, he restrained himself a little, raised his hand and touched his chin, and said: "Xiaoxi, it has not been a day or two since you were the successor of the Tang Clan, you have Meng Yi and Qian Bingsheng by your side, why haven't you figured out the situation of the company until today?"
"Who is the second largest in the Tang Group besides my second brother, don't you know? Don't forget, you also have a good father, and Tang Yisen's means are much more powerful than mine. Tang Shizong squinted his eyes slightly, and there was a hint of inquiry in his eyes.
Tang Shijin guessed well, even if Cheng Xunchun intentionally threw an olive branch, this Tang Shizong may not continue, after all, in his eyes, they and Tang Yisen are a family, and in addition to Tang Shijin, the second biggest person in the Tang family is Tang Yisen. He looks like he is only a vice president-level figure, but the real power in his hand is not just to the vice president.
Especially now that Tang Shi has entered the hospital, his actions are much more now than before.
"Little grandfather, don't call me Xiaoxi, don't you feel a little awkward when you look at me and call me Xiaoxi?"
Tang Shizong raised his eyebrows, "Oh, what do you say, aren't you Xiaoxi?"
Cheng Xunxun shrugged his shoulders, frowned slightly, and said, "I'm naturally true Tang Weixi is right, it's just that the fake used this name for five years, and you call me like this now, I'm a little unused to it." After all, I'm different from that Xiaoxi, whether it's behavior processing, or anything else, I'm diametrically opposed to her. ”
"You call me Xiaoxi, I can't always react immediately, and I believe you are not used to it. Why don't you just call me tenten? ”
Tang Shizong glanced at her deeply, the expression on his face became a little serious, and after looking at her quietly for a few seconds, he said, "What do you want to say?"
"I want to say I'm different from the person I was before. She was willing to listen to her father completely, but I wasn't. Don't they all say that they follow their fathers at home and marry their husbands? I'm a married daughter now, so naturally I will listen to my husband, what do you say?" Cheng Xunxun said, then reached out and put his arm on Zhou Yanqing's arm, turned his head and smiled with him.
Tang Shizong can be regarded as understanding what she means, this is to win him over and fight against Tang Yisen. He smiled, took a sip of red wine from his glass, and then raised his hand and pointed to his face, saying, "Do I look so stupid?"
Cheng Xunxun was not surprised by his reaction, in the eyes of outsiders, Tang Yisen is a man with affection and righteousness, at least worthy of the entire Tang family and the Tang family, and Tang Weixi is his biological daughter, there is no doubt about it. And Cheng Xunxun couldn't refute this matter at all, telling everyone that she was not Tang Yisen's daughter, and it didn't take much thought to know which direction public opinion would go if this incident broke out.
Tang Yisen's reputation will not only not be destroyed, but will raise him higher, and he will only be the only one who has been wearing a green hat for so many years and still works so silently and complaining! In the end, it will only be the Tang family that will be destroyed.
Cheng Xunxun could think of this trick, and Tang Yisen must have thought of it too. He was just waiting for an opportunity.
When Cheng Xunxun was about to speak, Zhou Yanqing opened her mouth one step ahead of her and asked with a smile: "Little grandfather, how much do you think I can score as the son-in-law of your Tang family?"
"Naturally, it's 100 percent. Tang Shizong did not hesitate.
Zhou Yanqing smiled lowly, "It seems that my little grandfather is quite satisfied with me." ”
Tang Shizong didn't speak, and he could roughly guess what he wanted to say.
Zhou Yanqing held Cheng Xunxun's hand and said: "Xunxun is my wife, that is, my person, since it is my person, then her business is my business, what she wants and does, I will do my best to help her do it." ”
Tang Shizong's gaze turned to Cheng Xunxun, his expression was serious, and he said, "You are Tang Yisen's daughter, why should I believe you?"
Zhou Yanqing picked up the teacup, took a sip, and said with a smile: "Do you have a choice now?"
When the words fell, there was a silence in the private room, the smile on Cheng Xunxun's face was still the same, he sat there, and added a sentence before he finished, saying: "Little grandfather, we are a family, we are the real Tang family, and we have the blood of the Tang family in our bodies." My heart is towards the Tang family, not my father, an outsider, my father's ambition does not need to be said, you should also know very well, he thinks that I am his daughter and will follow his mind unconditionally. ”
"However, he was wrong, and I will not fulfill his ambitions. If nothing else, my own ambitions are not small, and I don't want to be his puppet. Cheng Xunxun smiled lightly, reached out and wiped his mouth with a tissue, and said, "If my grandfather wakes up and knows that you are helping his own people like this, I think he will definitely forgive you for the things you did to him at the beginning." ”
Tang Shizong was dumbfounded, and looked at her deeply, "You ......"
"Don't forget, I still have Meng Yi and Qian Bingsheng by my side, the two of them have been by my grandfather's side all these years, and they are all clear about what happened to the Tang family before. I wonder, it's not hard. But don't worry, I won't take this kind of thing to heart, no one wants to be a dwarf, I can understand your thoughts. ”
Tang Shizong pursed his lips, don't look over his head and stop talking.
Cheng Xunxun sighed lightly and said, "Little grandfather, grandpa is your brother and brother." I don't talk about feelings with you, I just talk about money and profit. Think about it yourself, I won't force you. ”
When the words fell, Cheng Xunxun stopped talking.
The private room was very quiet, Tang Shizong frowned, not knowing what he was thinking, Tang Lai had no expression on his face, he just drank tea, as if what they said had nothing to do with him, immersed in his own world, not asking much and not caring much.
Zhou Yanqing seemed very relaxed, and was also interested in picking up dishes for Cheng Xunxun, and called the waiter to come in and prepare desserts for Cheng Xunxun, and the two of them looked very affectionate. Tang Shizong didn't speak, only secretly observing their actions.
At the end of the meal, Tang Shizong did not give a clear big promise, Zhou Yanqing went to settle the bill, and Cheng Xunxun sent their father and son to the door of the restaurant, their posture and demeanor were very polite and humble, and said: "I hope you will think about it, little grandfather." ”
Tang Shizong paused, glanced sideways at her, smiled, and said, "Don't mention feelings, you should think about what good I have if I help you." ”
"Then little grandfather, you should also think about it, if the entire Tang clan is taken down by my father, do you think you are more upset, or am I more upset?"
"You!"
Cheng Xunxun took a step forward, reached out and grabbed his arm, patted his hand gently, and said, "Little grandfather, I am also your own granddaughter, even if you were unkind to my grandfather, I will not be unjust to you, as long as you are willing to help me." Otherwise, I'm also holding a grudge. ”
Tang Shizong turned his head abruptly and glared at her, but Cheng Xunxun did not shy away from it and met his gaze.
Just as their car came over, Tang Lai interjected and said, "Dad, let's go." ”
Cheng Xunxun let go of his hand when he heard the sound, waved his hand at Tang Shizong and Tang Lai, and said, "Little grandfather, goodbye, uncle, be careful on the road." ”
Tang Lai nodded, and then stepped into the car first, and the door was open and not closed.
Tang Shizong took a deep look at Cheng Xunxun, then didn't say anything, got into the car, and closed the door.
Cheng Xunxun smiled and waved goodbye to the starting car, but the two people in the car did not respond.
Zhou Yanqing walked out slowly on crutches, stood behind her, and did not make a sound.
Cheng Xunxun looked at the car far away, and then turned around and wanted to go in to find Zhou Yanqing, but as soon as he turned his head, he saw him standing behind him, and he was really startled by him, so he couldn't help but take a step back, raised his hand and patted his chest, and said, "What are you doing, standing behind me silently." ”
"What do you do to be scared like this. As he spoke, he walked out of the diner's door and walked over to her side. Serve and keep talking.
Cheng Xunxun grabbed his hand, ignored his words, and said, "It seems that my aunt has a problem." She suddenly seemed to think of something, grabbed Zhou Yanqing's wrist tightly, turned her head suddenly, and said, "It won't have anything to do with Tang Yisen, right?"
Zhou Yanqing smiled and said, "If you check it, you will know, there is really something, and there will definitely be a wind blowing out among the employees of the company." ”
Cheng Xunxun touched his chest, "Why am I a little uneasy." ”
Zhou Yanqing stretched out his hand to stop her shoulder, and said with a smile: "You have a backer, what are you afraid of." ”
Cheng Xunxun smiled and bumped into him, but he was still a little uneasy.
The dinner ended early, and Zhou Yanqing took her to Wanbao, and it happened that Lu Jingbei and several of them were there, and the three of them were particularly bored in Stud.
Zhou Yanqing had already said that they were going to eat together today, and Cheng Xunchun called him in the afternoon, so the dinner between them was ruined, Zhou Yanqing gave the money, but the person did not arrive. Now that he had come, the three of them began to sneer, and the three of them began to sneer one after another.
Cheng Xunxun sat on the side and watched the show.
It was about Cheng Xunxun who laughed too happily, which attracted Chen Yujian's attention, and immediately moved the topic to Cheng Xunxun's body, saying: "You two husbands and wives should be called pit people, specialize in pit people, and say that they will eat together, but as a result, we have pushed our own work, and when you two are good, you will come with a stack of money." Why, this money is your stand-in, to eat with us instead of you?" he said, took out a hundred-dollar bill, put it on the side of the fruit plate, and said with a smile: "You gave me a show of how the money ate." Cheng Xunxun, don't laugh, you are the most ruthless in my pit. ”
"You can't say that you're going to inherit the family business? Now I'm really not used to having an assistant by my side, and I don't use anyone as easily as you are. It's all your fault. ”
Cheng Xunxun pursed his lips, raised his foot and kicked him secretly.
Lu Jingbei didn't say much, even if he spoke, he was very concise, touching his cards, Rong Zheng always looked at Zhou Yanqing's legs, and asked, "Your legs won't be like this in the future, right?"
Lu Jingbei took the stubble and said with a smile: "I'm afraid that's it." ”
As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere between several people froze, and Rong Zheng wanted to say something, but when he saw Cheng Xunxun, he swallowed the words, and said with a smile: "Okay, it's good that people are fine, don't say that you walk with a cane, it's more calm and atmospheric." ”
Zhou Yanqing smiled slightly and took out his chips, "I think so too." ”
At this time, Cheng Xunxun couldn't smile anymore, and the smile on his face became very reluctant, so he sat quietly, drank juice, and ate some fruit.
After a while, the atmosphere was adjusted again, and several people were happy again, and the only thing that could not be adjusted was Cheng Xunxun's heart.
At night, Cheng Xunxuan wiped Zhou Yanqing's body.
Zhou Yanqing squeezed her hand and said, "You haven't said a word since Wanbao came out, what's wrong?"
"Nothing, I'm thinking about things. ”
"What do you think, I'll help you think about it. ”
Cheng Xunxun raised his eyes and glanced at him and said, "I will think about it myself, I don't need you." ”
As she spoke, she went around behind him and wiped his back.
As soon as her hand was on his shoulder, Zhou Yanqing raised her hand to hold her hand, pulled her in front of her, and pulled her directly to her lap. Cheng Xunxun was startled, quickly stood up, his face changed, and he frowned: "What are you doing!"
Zhou Yanqing grabbed her waist, pressed her directly on her lap, and said with a smile: "What are you afraid of?
Cheng Xunxuan struggled, Zhou Yanqing sighed, she immediately didn't move, looked back at him, and said, "What's wrong?
As soon as she turned around, Zhou Yanqing reached out and hugged her body, rested her chin on her shoulder, and said with a smile: "No." I lied to you. ”
Cheng Xunxun was stunned and didn't speak.
"My leg is not as serious as you think, and you don't have to take their words to heart, let alone blame yourself. Now I'm just not cured, and when I'm healed, I won't need this broken cane. Besides, if I'm really lame, you will dislike me?"
"Of course not, I'm just ......"
Before she finished her words, Zhou Yanqing held her head, gagged her mouth heavily, and blocked her words back, Cheng Xunxuan was amused by him.
……
In the next few days, rumors about why Tang Shijin was unconscious intensified, and one of the versions was the most realistic, Tang Shijin's illness was related to Tang Yisen and Cheng Xunxun, and it was the union of these two father and daughter.
On this day, Cheng Xunchun went to the company, but met a large number of reporters, listening to the questions they raised, as if they were crusading against her.
It just so happened that Zhou Yanqing didn't send her over today, he went to the construction site early in the morning to run errands.
Soon Tang's security personnel came out one after another, isolating these reporters who came out of nowhere, Cheng Xunxun quickly entered the company, Meng Yi just came out of the elevator, Cheng Xunxun's shoes that were squeezed by them just now fell off, the whole person was a little embarrassed, and suddenly pounced on Meng Yi's body, followed by Tang Yaqiong, and a few people from the public relations department.
"What the hell is going on?" Cheng Xunxuan quickly stood up straight, straightened his clothes, put the high heels in his hand on the ground and put them on, and then cut his hair, and asked Meng Yi.
"It's not clear, and it doesn't know where these reporters came from. However, recently about Mr. Tang's coma, you and Vice President Tang have been demonized, and when I came here just now, I saw several reporters from legal programs. It seems that this matter is a bit of a big fuss. ”
Tang Yaqiong stood aside, glanced out, frowned, and said, "You guys go up first, I'll deal with this matter." ”
"Auntie. Cheng Xunxun still called someone politely.
Tang Yaqiong glanced at her, nodded, waved her hand, and said, "You go up first, and then come up and tell you when I solve it later." ”
"Good. ”
Then, Cheng Xunxun followed Meng Yi to the special elevator, and there were only two of them in the elevator.
This incident is not sudden, on the Internet, in newspapers, in circles, and even in the company, she more or less knows that someone is spreading something about this matter. Tang Shijin has a status in the business world, he suddenly fell unconscious, and he always needs an explanation, and this matter has violated the law.
In top-notch companies like them, there are no longer a few vicious and benign competitors, and there are no more small enterprises that can't survive because of them, and these people naturally regard Tang's as an imaginary enemy, hoping that they will go bankrupt at some point.
Therefore, as soon as there was a conflict within them, some people provoked and coaxed behind their backs, making this matter bigger and bigger.
The more the contradictions within the Tang clan go, the happier others will be.
Cheng Xunxun clasped his arms in his hands and said, "Why is this happening? Uncle Meng, didn't you say that you went to solve it? Why did it still make such a fuss?"
"I've been pressing the news, but ......"
"But there are people behind the scenes, and they can't be suppressed at all, right?" Cheng Xunxun directly said what he wanted to say.
Meng Yi closed his mouth and was silent for a moment before he said in a low voice, "I'm sorry." ”
"What about the hospital? Does the hospital also have reporters?"
Meng Yi didn't speak, which was tantamount to acquiescence.
Cheng Xunxun pursed his lips, and the elevator door slowly opened with a clattering sound of the elevator in the middle of the night, Cheng Xunxun glanced at him sideways and said, "This matter has been until the day of the family banquet, no matter what method is used, it must be resolved." ”
After Cheng Xunxun finished speaking, he went straight out of the elevator, slammed the door into the office, and just took two steps, he stopped, and frowned when he saw the person standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window.
He turned his head at her, smiled at her, and said, "What makes you so angry, my daughter?" ”
