13. Father
In November, smog and dust fly together in Beijing. The weather outside was like his mood at this time, dark and unclear, as if it was the eve of the end of the world.
Secretary Lu of the General Manager's Office walked over with a swaying posture on a stiletto heel, with a charming smile on his face, and his red lips were like blood and poison, revealing Sensen's malice.
Cheng Zhi thought of Xu Ning, her lipstick has always been light-colored, neither ostentatious nor light, just the right embellishment, bright and soft, just like her person, thin and soft, with a kind of moisturizing and silent elegance and gentleness.
"Mr. Cheng, the chairman, please come in." Secretary Lu's voice was also loud, and listening to it made people have goosebumps.
Cheng Zhi was disgusted in his heart, but with a gentle smile on his face, he got up from the sofa and said hypocritically with a compliment, "Secretary Lu's lipstick today is very beautiful." ”
Lu Ning pursed her lips and chuckled, not saying much. Who in the company doesn't know that the grasshopper in front of her is already in danger of the autumn queen, if she was still in the mood to deal with it before, now, there is really no need to waste time.
Of course, Cheng Zhi could see the other party's contempt, and he didn't care about it, he couldn't do it with a brain-dead person.
Cheng Guangyao is sixty years old this year, the year of his ears, well-maintained, and looks at least ten years younger than his actual age. This is a handsome old man, who still does not lack the charm of attracting the opposite sex, coupled with his net worth and status, it is no wonder that there are constant scandals and frequent updates of the members of the harem.
Cheng Zhi doesn't look much like his father, he is more like his mother, which may be one of the reasons why he doesn't like his father.
"Dad."
In the huge chairman's office, Cheng Zhi lowered his head and gathered his eyes, put away all the edges and corners and superfluous feelings, and stood there lightly and respectfully, like an ordinary subordinate rather than a son.
Cheng Guangyao's gaze was still focused on the written text, and he hummed lightly, "Why did you come back?" ”
"My uncle was arrested for an accident, I'll come back and take a look."
The pen that was being drawn on the text paused, and Cheng Guangyao finally raised his eyes to look at his son.
Cheng Zhi didn't wait for his father to ask, and had already explained the matter clearly, including his uncle Chen Dehou's drug use. He was in a very peaceful state of mind at this moment, and the previous entanglement and apprehension suddenly disappeared the moment he entered the office. Anyway, that's it, no matter how bad it is, the old man can't do anything to him, he still has the 11.3% shares given by his own mother, it's not big or small, it's a shareholder, it's really torn face, I don't know who will be cheaper.
Cheng Guangyao's face turned blue with anger, and he slapped it several times on the table top of the yellow rosewood, making a muffled sound of dong dong, which shows how angry he is. Cheng Zhi still has leisure to think, and he doesn't know if his father's hand hurts.
"Your uncle! Your uncle is a scourge! I used to get into trouble and find women, but now I'm bold, and I'm still taking drugs! Also kill! Who does he think he is! Why did our Cheng family wipe his ass once or twice! I don't care about this, and you don't care, let him reap the consequences! The province does not know how thick the sky is! ”
Watching his father get up from the Taipan chair and walk back and forth angrily, like a Tyrannosaurus rex that is about to breathe fire at any time, Cheng Zhi wisely didn't say much. Because he knows that the old man always has to take care of it, not for the ridiculous family affection, but for his face and Cheng's image.
"Dad, noon-" The door of the office was rashly pushed open from the outside, and the man who came in was dressed like a dog, like a young version of Cheng Guangyao.
The moment he came in, Cheng Zhi clearly saw that his father, who was still angry before, showed a kind smile in the next moment, and was disgusted, "You, how many times have you said it, and you don't know how to knock on the door when you come in, fortunately, it is all your own family here, and it is rude if there are guests." ”
Cheng Xu seemed to have just noticed Cheng Zhi's cunning, smiled at his father flatteringly, and greeted his brother again, "Brother, when did you come back, don't say anything, I'll pick you up." ”
Cheng Zhi was a little tired in his heart, and maintained a gentle smile on his face, "Something happened to my uncle's family, come back and take a look." ”
"What's going on? Troublesome? Do you want me to help? "Played a warm-hearted second goods to the fullest.
Cheng Guangyao looked at the scene in front of him, and his heart was very ironed. Interrupted his youngest son with a smile, "You, if you care more about the company's affairs, it will help a lot, you don't have to worry about other things, you can go to Lao Zheng later, he is going to be busy with a commercial street development case in Shanghai recently, you go and study and learn." ”
"Dad, Uncle Zheng is very strict, or ......"
"Don't say no," Cheng Guangyao's face sank first, and then coaxed in a low voice, "You are obedient, study hard, next year I am going to hand over the Shanghai branch to you to take care of, this time it is considered to step on the point, and save the time to catch the blind." ”
Cheng Xu pouted, "I've changed with my eldest brother, I haven't been to Jiangcheng yet." ”
"What so much nonsense, how long has your eldest brother been in Jiangcheng! Job transfer is not child's play! Saying that, he pretended to wave his hand impatiently to drive people away, "Okay, let's go out quickly, you tell Lao Zheng that we will eat together at noon, don't grind." ”
When the office was quiet again, the smile on Cheng Guangyao's face disappeared, and he said lightly to his eldest son, "Don't worry about your uncle's affairs, I'll find someone to arrange it, let's go back to Jiangcheng today, at the end of the year, don't abolish the company for private reasons, even if the company is opened by our family, you can't be so casual." ”
……
Xu Ning thought that it would take at least ten days and a half months for the master to return to Beijing this time, but he didn't expect to return in only three or four days.
Picking up people in that expensive Bentley, she didn't dare to ask questions like 'how did you come back so quickly?' and told her instincts that it wouldn't be a nice topic.
Cheng Zhi sat in the back seat and closed his eyes to recuperate, and after a while, he took the initiative to say, "The person didn't die, the rescue came back, and the old man took over the rest, he said that I shouldn't have driven me back because of personal abolition." ”
Xu Ning sighed, glanced at him from the rearview mirror, and reported lightly, "Mr. Cheng, your fish died, I went to the company this morning to take a look, and I didn't know how to do it, so I turned my belly." ”
Cheng Zhi was still a little self-pitying. was driven back by his father in such a gloomy way, and he sadly followed Cheng Xu to play the role of brother and brother, and learned that the old man was going to hand over the Shanghai branch to that fool, a low-end second-tier city, an international metropolis, this gap is really not a star and a half. Even if he knew that his father was partial, he couldn't help but pour out his anger. At this time, when I heard that the fish were dead, I was even more depressed, "Did you feed them too much and die?" ”
Xu Ning was not stupid, and resolutely refused to admit it, "You said that the fish are fed twice a week, and each time you feed a bottle cap, I will do it strictly according to your requirements." ”
"How can you die?" His face was full of suspicion.
"Maybe it's the end of life."
Cheng Zhi laughed, "Koi fish have a long lifespan, twenty or thirty years are trivial, some can live for sixty or seventy years, and the ones I raise don't even have ten years, what is the lifespan?" ”
There was a red light in front, Xu Ning stepped on the brakes, turned his head from the driver's seat, and his face was innocent, "Mr. Cheng, I just guessed, maybe it was not in good health." ”
"Aning, my sixth sense tells me that the cause of that fish's death is related to you."
"Then I'm really looking forward to the snow next June." It's almost December, and even if it snows, it doesn't show her grievances.
Cheng Zhicheng was amused and his mood was much better. Glancing at her, "It's done, it doesn't matter how it died, just go back and buy another one." ”
Back in the community, the bodyguard team was dismissed on the spot, and Cheng Zhi took Xu Ning back to the apartment.
Although I have lived here for a short time, I don't know why, but I already feel like home.
Xu Ning went upstairs to help him sort out his luggage, took out the clothes that needed to be dry cleaned and put them aside, and took them back to his home to iron them later, sorted them into categories, and cleaned them up in a while.
Cheng Zhi watched from the sidelines, seemingly idle. After a while, he suddenly said, "The old man is going to hand over the Shanghai branch to Cheng Xu to take care of." ”
Closing the empty suitcase, Xu Ning was not very interested in this news, even if the chairman announced his abdication to his younger son now, she would not be surprised. He replied and asked, "Mr. Cheng, what do you want to eat at night?" Have you drunk Chinese medicine on time these days? ”
Cheng Zhi was happy to answer the first question, "Let's eat hot pot, and stew soup with big bones and chicken." As for the second question, he simply ignored it.
Xu Ning glanced at him, and didn't ask much, the answer was already self-evident.
"Then you take a shower and rest for a while, and I'll go to the supermarket to buy ingredients."
He nodded in response. It's really a little tired, not physically tired, but mentally tired. This time he returned to the head office, which made him feel out of place, obviously he had only been away for less than two months, but it was like he had been away for ten years and eight years, and almost everyone there looked at him with strange looks and scrutiny, even if he was polite, he could read their minds lightly: poor worm.
Cheng Zhi thought, he is indeed like a poor worm, his father is not even willing to reward him for lunch, in the eyes of everyone, he is not much different from the clown who jumps the beam. The clown entertained the masses, and he entertained his half-brother and the employees who were watching.
……
Xu Ning sent Cheng Zhi's clothes to the dry cleaner by the way, and then went to the supermarket to buy things, it is always cool to swipe the boss's card, and there is no need to scruple when buying things.
When I came out of the elevator, the mobile phone in my bag rang, and I put the big bag of ingredients on the ground, and answered the phone while holding the key to open the door.
Just as she was about to turn around to pick up something, someone lifted it before her. Xu Ning smiled at Cheng Zhi, not daring to say hello, for fear that his mother would think wildly.
"Say it, do you still recognize me as a mother!"
"Mom, can you stop making trouble?" She looked helpless, changed her slippers, helped Cheng Zhi take them and put them at her feet, and pushed into the microphone without hurrying, "I really don't have time to talk about feelings now, can I talk about it when I'm done with this?" ”
Some time ago, my mother yelled at her to arrange a job for her cousin, and it was just a few days after that, and I was going to introduce the object again, Xu Ning was one head and two big, and I felt that my mother seemed to have returned to menopause.
