If it weren't for the fact that after receiving a call from Teacher Chang, he heard about his son's abandonment of the exam, and he was holding back a fire in his heart, and the father of the chairman who was busy with business rarely went home for dinner, Liu Xingchen of course realized this.

From the beginning, he knew that this would be the case, and it was easy to say anything from the school, but his father was having a hard time. He went downstairs to eat with apprehension, and met his father's secretary, Uncle Xiao Zhao, in the small living room. Uncle Xiao Zhao is the personal secretary who accompanies his father in and out of various occasions every day, and no one knows his father better than him except his family. Liu Xingchen sat with Uncle Zhao in the small living room for a while, and it sounded like his father had the intention of contacting foreign universities for him.

Uncle Xiao Zhao said: "The chairman of the board of directors asked him to prepare several enrollment brochures for foreign colleges and universities before, and later he also consulted about the study abroad guarantee, and it seems that he already has a plan in mind." ”

Since Uncle Xiao Zhao has said so, it seems that the hope of taking the college entrance examination in China is almost zero, and Liu Xingchen feels very helpless.

Walking into the dining room, he saw his father standing in front of the wine rack with a bottle of whiskey. The mother sat aside worriedly and gave her son a look. Liu Xingchen understood what his mother meant, so that he could take the initiative to talk to his father about the midterm exam, and not be too passive.

Liu Xingchen knew that his mother was for his good, but his mother didn't understand things between boys, and his son didn't need to see his father like a mouse seeing a cat, so he walked to the chairman's side and said, "Dad, can you let me have a drink with you today?" ”

The chairman was surprised and turned to look at him: "You want to drink?" ”

"Yes, you haven't been home for dinner for a long time, and I happened to finish the exam today, so I want to have a drink or two with you and chat with you."

The chairman of the board of directors father is a financially minded educator, not a business leader who pursues the maximization of profits, in fact, he is a very well-cultivated person, but he knows very well that a leader without a temper will not have motivated subordinates, and a father without a temper will not have excellent children, losing his temper in front of his subordinates is a way to establish majesty, and losing his temper at home is a way to educate his son, and it is not a personal hobby. Before I knew it, my son was already bigger than himself, and he was talking more and more like an adult. This is the first time that Liu Xingchen blatantly said in front of his father that he wanted to drink, knowing that his son is Mo Ruo's father, in fact, even if he doesn't say it, the chairman of the board knows that he has already learned to drink. Maybe it's because Dad usually keeps a straight face, there are almost no wrinkles on his face, but when he smiles, the corners of his eyes will appear, Dad's handsomeness is the handsomeness of a mature man, which completely covers his son's aura, his manners, his tone, his pauses, his considerations, every tiny expression of love is full of infectiousness, he may have guessed what his son wants to talk to him at this moment, so he said generously: "Okay, sit here." With great interest, he took a bottle of wine from the shelf, served it in a decanter himself, and poured it into two colorless and transparent glasses.

Liu Xingchen sat down next to his father.

Today it is rare for the chairman to go home for dinner, Uncle Paul specially arranged the kitchen to make a lot of snacks, Uncle Paul asked the servants to serve the dishes one after another, the two glasses were filled with golden wine juice, and my mother's heart was always entangled in these two glasses of wine, if the father and son drank too much and quarreled, it would be bad. And Liu Xingchen was thinking that even if he quarreled today, he would have to show his father his attitude of refusing to study abroad, so he took a big sip of wine before starting the meal.

Dad said, "You'll get drunk after a while." ”

Liu Xingchen said: "I just want to get drunk once." ”

"Okay." Dad poured all the wine in the decanter into his glass, just filling the glass: "I'll see how much you read; ”

It seems that my father already knows about my abandonment of the exam-Liu Xingchen thought, and then took another big sip.

At this time, Dad held his chin and smiled, and he could see that it was not applauding his approach, but a very subtle disdain.

Uncle Paul hurriedly picked up a plate of side dishes from a tray and put it in front of Liu Xingchen: "Eat quickly." ”

Dad smiled and said, "Don't give it to him, I want to see what he's drunk like." ”

In this way, after Liu Xingchen drank a full glass of whiskey on an empty stomach, he felt that his body was full of heat and courage, and he said: "Dad, I want to stay in China to accompany you and my mother, is it okay?" ”

The chairman looked at him expressionlessly and said to Uncle Paul, "Paul, pour him another glass." ”

Liu Xingchen knew that his father didn't believe that this was his true words, so he felt that he was not really drunk, in fact, this was his true words, yes, but it was not the point. When Uncle Paul poured him full of wine, and the wine he had just drunk was full of energy, his head became very heavy and heavy, and he saw that his mother's eyes were filled with tears of distress, and his father's eyes were still so cold. He asked himself in his heart, is it time to tell the real reason, if not, what if his father is not so easy to deceive.

Which parent doesn't want his child to be by his side, in the opinion of the chairman's wife, it is easy for her son to go to college for a few years, how good it is to spend a little more time at home, why send him away so quickly, I really don't know what the chairman thinks in his heart.

In the second cup, Liu Xingchen only drank two sips, his breathing became rapid and uneven, he turned the label of the wine bottle to see, the alcohol concentration was 42 degrees, at this moment, there was only a taut string in his mind: he must make his attitude clear to his father, do not go abroad, and resolutely do not leave.

The mother came over and put her son's head on her heart, and said to the chairman, "Don't drink, my son hasn't eaten yet, it's really ......."

Liu Xingchen only felt that his mother's arms were so warm when he was drunk and dizzy, he fell into his mother's arms, looking at his father's rational and waveless eyes, in comparison, his father didn't seem to hurt himself so much, he suddenly felt a little aggrieved in his heart, his nasal cavity was sour, it must be the effect of alcohol, he was actually about to cry.

The chairman looked at his son's super cute expression and said gently: "If you tell me the real reason, I will consider your idea." ”

knew that Dad would say this, at this moment, Liu Xingchen was thinking, Mom wasted all the strength of the secret she wanted to explore, should she let Dad know by dividing five by two? How can you be so incompetent. He struggled to analyze with a pasty mind, he was in early love, and early love would not be allowed until he was admitted to college, if he told his father that there was a girl in Juli High School who made him lose his soul all day, then don't think about continuing to study in Juli High School, maybe he would be sent abroad by his father in a fit of anger if he couldn't finish high school, so he absolutely can't say it.

Thinking of this, he broke free from his mother's arms and said to his father, "The reason is simple, I don't have a good impression of turtles, and I don't want to be like that." ”

"Huh?" Dad seemed a little surprised, and wanted to hear more about his reasoning.

Liu Xingchen said: "Although my father is also a turtle, I don't want to hide my true thoughts about turtles, in fact, I think I should be down-to-earth. ”

"Hmm." Dad took a slow sip of wine, his movements were elegant and heroic, reminiscent of the beautiful princes of Monaco, and said that he didn't have a good impression of turtles, and Dad's drinking action was not enough. As if the latter words seemed to be a little convincing to his father, he hurriedly said: "Although the educational concept of developed countries is novel, it is not very ideal in terms of culture and moral education. "I didn't say anything, by that time I would have chased Ai Mengmeng to Hiron, lala^. ^~

Today, the chairman of the board of directors is a little surprised by his son's insight, but he always feels that his reasons are far-fetched, if he continues to ask, I am afraid he will not tell the truth, anyway, the son has grown up, and the amount of alcohol is not very inferior, and the father is still quite pleased. The chairman nodded: "Then how do you explain the absence?" ”

Liu Xingchen said: "At that time, I thought the question was too simple, so I missed the exam without much thought, and later I found that it was too immodest to do so." ”

"Is it too immodest?!" The father's strong tone and sharp eyes frightened both mother and son.

Liu Xingchen lowered his head and said, "Yes, it's too arrogant." ”

Dad said angrily, "Go and apologize to every teacher involved in this incident!" Forget about the make-up exam or something, don't embarrass me again! Tomorrow, I'll call your principal. Remember, the next is not an example! ”

Liu Xingchen let out an "oh" and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The mother hugged her son's head, blocked his vision with her body, and said to the angry chairman: "Okay, okay, don't discipline him, he has never made such a mistake, what is the difference between being scolded for not making a mistake and occasionally making a mistake and getting rewarded for listening to a word once in a while, you are still a 'celebrity' in the education industry." ”

Dad stopped talking. The turmoil of abandoning the exam has finally subsided.

At night, Liu Xingchen lay on the bed and thought, great, I didn't expect to be able to pass the test in a fool's way, and there was no need to take the make-up exam after the chairman intervened, which was really much easier. At this time, he found that his mobile phone was flashing on the bedside table, picked it up and took a look, and there was a short message from an unfamiliar number: Senior, let's meet at noon tomorrow. Cui Xiaokai.

Liu Xingchen immediately went back and asked him: Is there something wrong?

Soon, Cui Xiaokai said: Nonsense.

Liu Xingchen felt that he was quite naïve and didn't bother to pay attention to him. But soon Cui Xiaokai sent another one, saying: How about meeting in your father's office after school at noon tomorrow?

Liu Xingchen thought that the chairman of the board of directors only said that he would call the principal tomorrow, but did not say that he would go to school, and he did not need to go in person for such a trivial matter as canceling the make-up examination. So Liu Xingchen went back to Cui Xiaokai and said: Yes.

In the early morning of the next day, the chairman of the board of directors took Uncle Xiao Zhao out early, in order to support the family, his father worked day and night every day, tirelessly, this kind of exemplary behavior has been deeply infected Liu Xingchen, so that he rose from the bottom of his heart a self-motivated.

Thanksgiving is approaching, my mother makes a list of gifts and is going to go to major shopping malls to buy, it seems that she is busier than her father, but Liu Xingchen knows that she is enjoying it. Wallets, watches, cosmetics...... These luxuries often appear on my mother's list, and of course my mother will buy gifts for the teachers of Kikuri High School, but I don't know if the teachers of civilian high schools dare to accept gifts worth more than five figures.

Liu Xingchen has had an impression since he can remember, his mother complains about various bank accounts every day, and later, the birth of the profession of private financial advisor makes his mother no longer worry about those things, but his mother still complains all day long, but the content is replaced by various disadvantages of the reduced credibility of financial advisers, and finally, the era of private financial advisors has come, and my mother fired the financial adviser, and fell into the gentle trap of private financial advisors, and had economic disputes with her own financial advisors every day. Because there are always people who covet the huge account in her mother's name, in this way, for more than ten years, Liu Xingchen has watched her mother change from a rookie who is not good at financial management to a powerful lawyer specializing in economic dispute lawsuits, but her client is always a poor father. ==
