Chapter 45: Laughing and Crying
"Okay, we're done talking about business, Xin, let's talk about private matters" George sent away the restless Philip, returned to the study and saw Ji Xin's disapproving look, knowing that the little guy must have underestimated the energy of the old man who slammed the door, you must know that his commitment and friendship even the governor and the president dare not take it lightly. But he doesn't find fault with it, it's not a bad thing, and he will naturally understand when the time comes.
"Huh? What other personal matters do we have? As long as you take your medicine on time, you will be cured in no time. Ji Xin, who knew what George wanted to say, began to pretend to be crazy and stupid.
"You kid" George pointed with his hand and his eyes widened, "These tricks were all used by me decades ago, who else do you want to hide?" β
"Naturally, it's the heir's business to talk to you," George simply got straight to the point, "I also know that you are reluctant, and also, the time when I went to China was actually the easiest time of my life, so much so that I still miss it." At that time, I drank and chatted with my second brother every day, and I was really uncomfortable exploring everywhere in and out of the mountains. My family urged me several times, and finally my father even sent someone to arrest me, and at that time my resistance was much greater than yours."
"And how did you change your mind in the end?" Ji Xin is very interested in the stories of the elderly, and his ordinary life often contains unimaginable wisdom in life.
"Responsibility, a few decades ago, our family was just not in the stream, and there were less than 100 employees and relatives in the company, which belonged to the kind of small roles that others set the rules that we could only perform. In addition, the economic environment in various countries was not very healthy during that time, and everyone was optimistic about military and energy companies, so the family company and the family farm were in turmoil, and my father could not support it alone. After I went back, I followed the elders every day, watching them deal with all kinds of chores anxiously, looking for this one to sign a contract, and begging that one to place an order. Gradually, I felt that I should grow up, and the responsibility of being the eldest son of the Wilson family almost forced me to stop."
"Until last year, it was found out that you had this disease, and it was almost a notice from the king of Yama before you appeared. I just remembered the matter of the descendants of the family, but when I really investigated, I found that these guys usually behave very well in front of me, but they are arrogant and lascivious in private, except for killing people and setting fires, other legal and illegal things are touched all over again.
It's also because I used to focus on the company and ignore other people's feelings. Before I was diagnosed, I thought it was still a long time, and I really waited for the day to come, and then I realized that there were a lot of things going to happen. Outsiders say that this seat is good, calling for wind and rain, but only when you sit on it will you understand that there is a lot of pressure.
Hundreds of thousands of people working for me, so many families waiting to be fed, this is not a trivial matter, and even the president would be rightly concerned. Anyway, I can't trust the livelihood of so many people to them" As if thinking of some embarrassment in the investigation, George hammered the table hard, hating that iron is not steel.
"Relax, relax" Ji Xin was afraid that the old man would be too angry and his condition would deteriorate, "It's okay now, you can think more completely without the burden, and even train a new successor in more than ten years."
"Willing to go far? Do you know what my nickname is in the mall? George the Cunning never does a loss-making business."
Ji Xin was a little helpless, why did this old man recognize himself, he really wanted to say what do you like about me, can't I change it?
However, I can only think about this in my heart, and I should persuade "You said that I am not from the Wilson family, have you learned anything about this, and a rash decision will only make everyone unconvinced, and I myself went abroad to be more free, and it is definitely inappropriate for you to hand over your property to my new hand."
"Time will change everything, and when you are older, you may yearn for these" George looked at it for a while, knowing that this kid was not in the oil and salt, so he could only mutter, "Then let's do it first, anyway, the old man has a long time to live, maybe you will change your mind one day." β
"It's true, it's a good thing that others can't grab when they break their heads, but you abandon it like a shoe, what are young people thinking now, I have to ask when I go to see my second brother during the New Year." Seeing that the old man was relieved, Ji Xin hurriedly ran out, but the sound of his broken thoughts that had been sitting there made him cry and laugh.
Let others hear this, and the first reaction is that you don't know what to do. Seeing such a big bargain in plain terms, and still pretentious, it is simply that I want to be what and want to set up a memorial arch. However, only Ji Xin himself knows what he wants, he has seen so many intrigues at a banquet, and he is deceitful, if he really agrees, I am afraid that there will be more open guns and hidden arrows. No matter what this person thinks, he feels that it is more suitable for him to live a small life. Anyway, relying on this jade pendant, although some chickens are killed with a knife, but no matter what, there is no need to worry about eating and drinking.
Ji Xin, who was very arrogant, quickly got out of the guilt of rejecting the old man's kindness, and adjusted his mood, this person felt that it was better to accompany his charismatic girlfriend-to-be more if he had time, saying that Lisa was really beautiful today, thinking of the dignified and dignified person, he almost drooled.
"Huh? Lisa, is that you? Far away from the banquet hall, the sharp-eyed Ji Xin easily spotted the female companion standing alone outside the door in a daze with a wine glass.
The moon was not clear tonight, and the dim glow of the starlight shone over the elf-like woman in the courtyard, and the scale-adorned floor-length skirt reflected the brilliance of rumors from time to time. In a flash, Ji Xin looked at Lisa biting her lip tightly, and her frowning brows seemed to have something annoying.
There are beautiful women in the north, peerless and independent, looking at the city and the country. Inexplicably, Ji Xin felt a sudden sadness, feeling that such a perfect woman was out of reach.
"Xin, you're back" Lisa was not surprised to see Ji Xin, as if she was just waiting for him, "It's too noisy inside, I'm not used to it, accompany me to the yard for a walk"
"Willing to help, I'm just thinking about talking to someone"
Ji Xin and Lisa came to the backyard garden and strolled along the cobblestone path to the lake. Chatting all the way, Ji Xin talked about his ideals and earning enough money to let his parents and relatives enjoy life better. also want to marry a beautiful and virtuous woman and have children, so that she will not be sad for the rest of her life. Of course, with his personal assets, it is still difficult to get to this point.
"Hehe, you don't think I'm naΓ―ve, do you?"
"How is that possible? Listening to it, I feel romantic" Lisa replied very seriously" This kind of life is every woman's dream, and there may be many people who advocate passion, long to live in a big city, and enjoy the adoring gaze every day, singing and dancing. But the days will always return to the ordinary, and enough patience and family affection will make up for everything you want. β
Ji Xin smiled: "Listening to what you say, it's better than me, I actually didn't think about it that much, but I don't have great ability and no big ambition." β
Lisa also smiled: "You are charming and confident enough at the banquet, no matter what era the doctor is always the elite. Then Lisa begins to talk about her first love, a dramatic story of a girl who longs for true love at school and falls in love with the senior in the next class. He was the captain of the high school football team and wrote poetry, very beautiful poetry.
Ji Xin had to admit that seeing Lisa thinking about another man so devotively, he was about to go crazy with jealousy. "Oh, that's going to be nice, what's next"
"The boy's family was an ordinary businessman, while the girl was from an orthodox aristocratic background. The huge balance of power is like a chasm in front of the couple, especially the stubborn father, who is a man who values the glory of the family more than life, and the opinion of the door is almost written on his face.
It was also at that time that the senior's father had expanded his business and intended to go to the United States to develop. So the two agreed to meet each other in college, and the boy swore that he would work hard and make a lot of money to make the girl's father relieved and bless them at the wedding.
The girl believed cutely, year after year, the children with excellent grades refused the invitations of major universities in the United Kingdom, and embarked on the road of pursuing true love in the United States without looking back. But after the plane landed, reality ruthlessly shattered everything in the dream.
