Zhong Yue walked out of the gate of the Xia family and was greeted by a heat wave. He looked up at the gray sky, and his heart was a little trance, and before he knew it, it had been a year.

Last year, the weather was so hot and humid that he was just a small white-collar worker with a monthly salary of several thousand, and he was vacillating whether to stay in the city.

Now, his birthday is approaching again. Compared to a year ago, his life has changed dramatically.

Before, this change was not very obvious, until today, facing Xia Huilan's mother, the chairman of a large group with a market value of 50 billion. He can be neither humble nor arrogant, calmly but resolutely refuse her request for shares. There is no fear of possible retaliation from the other party afterwards.

Only then did he suddenly realize that in just one year, he already had such confidence. In terms of wealth, status, background, and power, he is far from being able to compare with the Xia family now, but he has such confidence.

This is the self-confidence that he has accumulated in the past year, step by step, and his career has continued to succeed.

He looked back at the villa behind him that was shrouded in darkness, guessing which window was Hui Lan's room.

Soon, he withdrew his gaze and drove away.

…………

As soon as Zhong Yue returned downstairs, he received a call from Xia Huilan, and as soon as he picked it up, he heard the other side say, "Why did you leave suddenly and don't say a word to me." ”

From her slightly coquettish and complaining tone, he knew that Zhao Jingmei didn't tell her what happened just now.

No matter what kind of psychology Zhao Jingmei had, he naturally wouldn't mention it, saying, "Suddenly there is something urgent, uncle and aunt are not angry, right?" ”

"My dad doesn't have anything, it's just that my mom is a little unhappy."

Zhong Yue said, "Then you have to say something nice for me." ”

"I don't want it. You didn't even ask me if I was angry. ”

"Are you angry?"

"Yes, very angry, very angry. You'll have to make it up to me. Xia Huilan said, she laughed out loud first, and when she heard him laughing, she said angrily, "You are not allowed to laugh." ”

"Then you say, what compensation do you want?"

"Hmm-I haven't figured it out yet, I'll tell you when I do." On the other end of the phone, Xia Huilan thought for a while and had an idea.

"Okay, when you think about it, you can tell me."

…………

When Zhong Yue returned home, his parents were still watching TV in the living room. Seeing him open the door, Liu Guifang looked at the time and said, "Why did you come back so early?" ”

As he took off his shoes, he said, "It's not early, it's almost nine o'clock." ”

"Your mother, she thought you weren't coming back tonight." Zhong Liangxing interjected.

"I'm going out to eat today, and I'm not working overtime—" As he was talking, he suddenly realized the meaning of his parents' words, and was a little funny, "You guys, don't worry about me." ”

Liu Guifang pulled him to sit down, "Xiao Yue, you are willing to be motivated and work hard to do your career, this is a good thing, your parents support it." However, you must also pay attention to lifelong events, you are not too young, you should talk about a girlfriend seriously, and then get married and have children, you are the only seedling of our Zhong family. ”

These words, in the first two years, every time he came home, his mother would nag in his ear. It's been almost two months now, and it's the first time I've mentioned it, and it's hard for her to endure it for so long.

"Mom, don't worry, I know it."

Liu Guifang patted him lightly and said angrily, "Every time I tell you this, you are bluffing me like this." ”

As she spoke, she couldn't help asking, "Tell Mom, are you going out on a date tonight?" ”

"yes." He graciously admitted.

"Really?" Liu Guifang was a little skeptical, "Then you will bring someone home for a meal in two days, and let me meet your father." ”

"Okay."

Zhong Yue's heart suddenly played, and he said half-truthfully, "Which one do you want to see?" ”

"Which one?" Liu Guifang was stunned at first, and then slapped him again, "Tell you the truth, you give me a sloppy look, do you really want to anger me." ”

Zhong Yue smiled, "I'll tell you the truth, and you don't believe it, what can I do." ”

"Okay, you just say that you have a few girlfriends, bring them all home, let me meet your dad." Where would Liu Guifang believe him.

He shook his head, "That's definitely not going to work, if you really take it home together, they still have to fight?" ”

"I knew you would say that."

Liu Guifang poked his forehead, "Then you can bring one back casually, so you have no reason to shirk it, right?" ”

"Okay, just this Saturday." Zhong Yue replied in one bite, and then got up, "I'll go take a shower first." ”

Seeing him walk into the bathroom, Liu Guifang was still a little uneasy, and asked her husband, "You said that he promised so simply, will he find some excuse to delay then." ”

She called twice, and seeing that he didn't respond at all, she pulled him hard, "Old Zhong, what about you?" ”

Zhong Liangxing listened to her repeat what she had just said, and said, "Didn't you notice that Xiao Yue is different from before, I think he has a good idea now, and we don't need to worry about it, and we can't worry about it." ”

"But ......," Liu Guifang hesitated.

"Alright, watch TV."

…………

At this time, the Xia family.

Daughter Xia Huilan had already returned to the room, Xia Yuanbo came out of the study and saw his wife sitting in the living room with a glass of red wine in her hand.

"He didn't agree?" Xia Yuanbo took out a cup, poured himself some red wine, and sat down to drink with her.

Zhao Jingmei gently shook the red wine in the glass and said calmly, "It's me who underestimated him too much." ”

"What are you going to do next?" Xia Yuanbo looked at her.

Zhao Jingmei said, "You should know that because of several decision-making mistakes in the past two years, the board of directors has a lot of opinions about me. So, I urgently need to run some successful projects to regain the trust of the board. Zhong Yue's two companies are the best targets. ”

Xia Yuanbo was silent for a moment and said, "You should have heard that Huang Bin's future investment once wanted to invest in Zhong Yue's company, but that night, Zhang Wenhao, the general manager of Future Investment, died in a car accident. ”

"It was just an accident." Zhao Jingmei's eyes flashed, and her hand shaking the wine glass stopped. She had apparently investigated this matter as well.

Xia Yuanbo shook his head slowly, "What kind of person Zhang Wenhao is, no one knows better than Huang Bin, he told me that it was neither rain nor fog that day, and Zhang Wenhao didn't drink at all." With Zhang Wenhao's prudence, such a person would mistake the brake for the accelerator? He didn't believe it."

"He suspects that there is something wrong with Zhang Wenhao's death?" Zhao Jingmei stared at him deadly, "Is there any evidence?" ”

Xia Yuanbo sighed softly, "He secretly checked afterwards, and the car showed no signs of being moved." Therefore, he can only regard this incident as an accident. ”

Zhao Jingmei was silent, and after a while, she drank all the wine in the cup.
