Chapter 4: The Chen Family's Affairs
Seeing his living mother reappear in front of him, Chen Mingyuan's eyes were hot, and his heart surged in an instant, and he opened his mouth, but his voice was blocked in his throat.
Yang Xiuning was wearing a black professional attire, his hair was pulled high, echoing the uninhibited smiling face, and there was a majesty that could not be denied in his gestures, but when he saw his son appear here, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, but he quickly covered it up, walked in front of the three of them, and said with a smile: "It's all here, that's good...... I'm really sorry for you, Ruohan. ”
Obviously, she credited Cen Ruohan with all the "credit" for her son's willingness to come to greet the old man.
Knowing her son Mo Ruo's mother, she knows better than anyone else about her son's stubborn temper, so naturally she would not have expected Chen Mingyuan to take the initiative to invite her.
But in any case, if her son can come, she naturally has no reason to be unhappy.
Ruohan knew that Yang Xiuning had misunderstood, so he wanted to explain a few words, but Yang Xiuning took the lead and said: "Everyone is already waiting upstairs, let's go up first." ”
After speaking, she glanced at Chen Mingyuan with a complicated look, and turned around and walked straight away.
Chen Mingyuan's smile was faintly bitter, and he didn't know how long Lu Dao's unfamiliar mother-son relationship would last, could it be that if he didn't act according to her arrangement, he would never get her affirmation?
Knowing his frustrated mood, Cen Ruohan gently grabbed his arm and said softly, "Let's go up first...... If you can't hold it anymore, just talk to your aunt. ”
"Don't worry, Aunt Cen, I'm fine."
Chen Mingyuan smiled, and then gave salutes to his eldest aunt Chen Xiaomei and eldest uncle Zhang Rongxian, who came with his mother, and followed with Cen Ruohan, ignoring Zhang Zili's ugly face like pork liver.
"Zili, why are you holding a strained face?" Chen Xiaomei glanced at Chen Mingyuan's back, and Nunu said, "Are you messing with him again?" ”
Zhang Zili's face turned from black to red, how embarrassed to say that he was scolded by the other party as uneducated, so he had to make up an excuse to prevaricate the past, swallowed this dumb loss, and decided to turn back and find the field again, otherwise he had to suffocate to death!
…………
Rongting Hotel, Tenglong Court.
"Grandpa, Grandma......"
"Hey, come here, let grandma see."
Before Chen Mingyuan could say hello to the second elder, he was pulled over by the old lady, looking up and down with a pair of kind eyes, "Ouch, it's only been a year since I went to work, and everyone has lost weight like this, shouldn't you eat and sleep well......?"
How can there be a grandmother in the world who doesn't love her grandson, besides, the eldest son died early, among all the grandchildren, the old lady naturally cares a little more for Chen Mingyuan.
"He himself has to run out of the gang to break blindly, who will suffer and blame?"
Old Man Chen, who was sitting on the main seat, snorted angrily, turned his head and raised his face.
The old man is already old, because he has been persecuted during the **** period, so that his body has left hidden dangers, although he later went out of the mountain again to preside over the work of the place, but today, he has long been powerless, and most of the time he can only live behind the scenes to guide the operation of the family.
Because the third son Chen Guoliang needs to walk the official career, after several trade-offs, he chose to support Yang Xiuning to control the Rongting Group, first, this daughter-in-law is really good, tenacious and diligent, and can implement her own will, although the power and strategy are slightly insufficient, but the identity of the eldest daughter-in-law is enough for her to shake the situation; Second, I also hope that the family business can be safely handed over to Chen Mingyuan.
It was because he knew that he was not long in his life, and the old man urgently hoped that Chen Mingyuan could inherit the family's business, but unfortunately, too much hope was exchanged for huge disappointment, especially Chen Mingyuan's disobedience to the family arrangement, which made him even more angry.
"Dad, Mingyuan is still young and ignorant, let's just explain it when we go back, don't be angry, your body is important."
Chen Guoliang spoke out in a timely manner, for fear that the old man would be so angry that he would fly back to Yanjing to recuperate.
Immediately, he glanced at Chen Mingyuan and frowned: This nephew, this time he did really out of line!
The old man's anger came out of his nose, and the anger on his face was clearly visible.
As the saying goes, the Taoist son is not the fault of his mother, Yang Xiuning, who is in the lower position, lowered his head slightly, and his face was ashamed.
Zhang Zili's family gloated, Chen Xiaomei saw the stitches and said: "Mingyuan, it's not that my aunt said you, you see that you are a high-achieving student, and you don't do a good career at home, why do you have to drill this bull's horns, is it possible that in your eyes, an ordinary job in a TV station is better than staying at home?" ”
"If you really don't like the family's business, you squeak and go where you want to do things, your aunt will guarantee that it will be done for you, otherwise let your uncle find you an errand in the bank, which happens to be professional and right!"
The eldest uncle, Zhang Rongxian, served as the vice president of the Zhonghai branch of a state-owned bank, and it was easy to find a job for his nephew in the bank, but it could be seen from his disapproving smile that he was just a joke with a cold eye.
The words literally seem to be caring, but anyone here can hear that Chen Xiaomei deliberately wants Yang Xiuning's mother and son to not be able to get off the stage, and then lose points in front of the old man!
The old man's candle shines brightly, and the second generation of the Chen family is also deaf and clear-sighted, but they didn't say anything to help, who made Chen Mingyuan not angry?
"Otherwise, I'm missing a business supervisor, although Mingyuan is younger, as long as nothing goes wrong, it's still no problem to become a regular."
Chen Xiaolan, the little aunt who works in a state-owned enterprise, can't see her sister's downfall, "Mingyuan, you don't have to go back, at most make a phone call to say goodbye, okay, hurry up and admit your mistake to grandpa, see what you have made him angry with." ”
Chen Xiaolan doesn't speak very well, but compared with Chen Xiaomei, she is nothing more than a bit of a knife-mouthed tofu heart, a straightforward temper, and not much bad water.
However, in the face of her kindness, Chen Mingyuan still excused himself: "Sister-in-law, I know that you are for my good, but I stayed well in the TV station, and people always have to go through some hardships, so while I am young, I still want to break through on my own first......"
Seeing that he was still obsessed, the old man added fuel to the fire, and in a fit of anger, he slapped the armrest of the seat lightly, which shocked everyone and made everyone fearful, and they didn't dare to come out, knowing that the old man was really angry this time!
Yang Xiuning and Cen Ruohan were angry and anxious, Chen Xiaomei, Chen Guoliang and others watched the changes, and Zhang Zili was secretly happy, but he didn't expect that in the blink of an eye, this kid hit the muzzle of the gun himself!
At the delicate moment, the old lady had the courage to say bluntly: "Okay, I finally came back for a reunion, you want to scare the child away, right...... Hey! Mingyuan, why are your hands so hot? ”
Chen Mingyuan raised a smile and said: "It rained last night, and it was contaminated with some moisture, so I may have caught a cold, but it's okay." ”
The old lady hurriedly probed the temperature of her grandson's forehead with her hand, and said nervously: "Ouch, it's as hot as a stove, and she said that there is nothing to do, hurry up to the hospital!" ”
Ruohan suddenly thought about it and explained: "Uncle, aunt, in fact, I let him go to the hospital early in the morning, but he had to come and persuade him several times but didn't listen, saying that he was worried about your second brother's body......"
Everyone was stunned, and most of the eyes that looked at Chen Mingyuan were suspicious, it was hard to imagine that this deviant young master would be so filial, and the sun came out in the west?
As Cen Ruohan expected, the old man heard this, and after a short silence, his face gradually relaxed a little, and his gaze at Chen Mingyuan was no longer so stern, and even revealed a trace of concern.
After all, the grandson is the palm of his hand, and this time he dragged the sick body to come to see him, no matter how hard-hearted he was, he really couldn't be indifferent.
"You kid, you don't have to rush when you see us!"
The old lady was so distressed, looked at her daughter-in-law, and reproached: "Xiuning, you too, it's rare for Mingyuan to come back, and you don't care more, you know how to make money all day long, no matter how much money you make, is it important to have children?" ”
"The second child left early, Mingyuan has lacked people to take care of him since he was a child, you elders are busy with your own business all day long, and you don't care about him, it's rare to see you know everything about finding faults...... Don't forget, the reason why Mingyuan's father went to the countryside was for you, otherwise he wouldn't have contracted a bitter illness and ...... at a young age."
Thinking of her son who died early, the old lady couldn't help but feel sad and choked up.
How can the pain of a white-haired person sending a black-haired person to an ordinary person understand?
For a while, everyone including Chen Xiaomei and Chen Xiaolan was speechless and hung their heads gloomily.
Chen Mingyuan hurriedly helped Chen Guoliang wipe the old lady's tears together, and kept comforting, "Grandma, don't blame my mother, I forgot to close the window when I went to bed last night and accidentally caught the cold." ”
"In short, it's all mine, let you make trouble for me, grandma, don't worry, I promise to reform in the future, and I will never let everyone worry about me more!"
The old grandmother patted the back of his hand and sighed deeply, and Chen Guoliang couldn't help but look at him twice, his face was complicated.
This kid has been studying for a few years, and it seems that something has changed.
Yang Xiuning saw that his son was still working hard to protect himself, and a wisp of guilt quietly surfaced in his heart.
The old man suppressed his sadness for the deceased son, waved his hand and said, "Don't say it, Xiuning, you send someone to accompany Mingyuan to the hospital, and pay attention in the future." ”
"I just took my medicine before I came out, and I'll be fine for a while, grandpa." Chen Mingyuan cheered up and said with a smile: "Grandpa Cen will come later, I haven't seen him for a few years, and I want to see him first." ”
The old lady was naturally unhappy, but no matter how she persuaded her, Chen Mingyuan was stubborn.
"Forget it, let him stay if he wants to."
The old man saw that it was not too early, so he didn't have the heart to preach for the time being, so he turned his mouth and said: "Third child, Zhou Qifeng came over to talk about the stall of Yuanda Heavy Industry, right?" ”
"It seems that the city has racked its brains for this matter, and it is currently hoped that there will be strong private capital injected into Yuanda Heavy Industry, and then a series of reforms will be carried out."
Chen Guoliang said respectfully: "Comrade Qifeng is also looking forward to our family being able to contribute at this juncture, so as to bring Yuanda Heavy Industry out of the predicament." ”
Hearing this, the old man frowned and fell into thought.
Chen Mingyuan saw it in his eyes and sighed silently, who would have expected that at this moment, it was such a state-owned enterprise reform plan that almost dragged the Chen family into a precarious situation!
