Chapter 172: Caught in Memories
Gu Mulin still remembered what happened on his birthday, letting him know that he was not important in his father's heart, and he could even say that he could be measured by money and status. After so many years of this incident, Gu Mulin has never forgotten it, and it can even be said that the scenes at that time are clearly engraved in his mind.
In fact, Gu Mulin didn't care much about his birthday, he felt that his birthday was the same. And the birthdays of these rich children are nothing more than a grand drinking party, inviting all kinds of people to come and participate, chatting together, and all kinds of flattery.
When Gu Mulin was about to turn eighteen, the Gu family held a grand birthday banquet for him, and also transferred a certain amount of shares of the company to him. Gu Chengkun had been preparing for this birthday banquet for a long time in advance, and he had a large number of guests. Gu Mulin was very disgusted with this matter and had always disagreed, but because Gu Chengkun was his father, Gu Mulin could only reluctantly choose to obey.
But the night before the birthday party, Gu Chengkun called Gu Mulin into the study and said that he wanted to talk to him alone. Gu Mulin didn't think much about it, after all, this kind of solo conversation was already a matter of course.
When Gu Mulin walked into the study, he saw Gu Chengkun looking high, sitting behind the desk, and there was a cup of steaming tea in front of him. Gu Mulin stood in front of him respectfully, only hoping that he could end this conversation quickly. But Gu Chengkun drank tea unhurriedly, and he didn't mean to speak at all.
Just when Gu Mulin was about to turn around and leave, Gu Chengkun suddenly spoke. "You are about to become an adult now, and you should take over the affairs of the company slowly, and you can't be as willful as before."
For Gu Mulin, taking over the company is the most headache for him, not that he feels that his ability is not enough, but that he has what he wants to do, and he has no interest in the company's affairs. He had already told his family before that he would not take over the company, but now that Gu Chengkun forced him to take over the company, Gu Mulin felt that he couldn't stand it at all.
"Dad, I told you before, I won't take over the company's affairs, I have my own ideals, I have my own things I want to do, and I have no interest in the company's affairs at all, I won't take over." Gu Mulin made his attitude clear to Gu Chengkun with a cold face, and he felt that his attitude had been clear enough.
But Gu Chengkun was originally a selfish person, he would not think about problems from Gu Mulin's point of view, nor would he consider his feelings. "Gu Mulin, please pay attention to your attitude! What are you talking about? If you don't take over the company at home, who do you want to take over? Do you want to give up such a big company? Hearing that his son actually rebelled against him, Gu Chengkun's tone was full of anger.
"But I said it a long time ago, I have my own ideals, I want to live my own life, none of you want to control my life, I can make my own decisions, I'm an adult!" For so many years, Gu Mulin has been living according to Gu Chengkun's wishes, living step by step every day, and has never lived for himself, and now that he is an adult, he wants to live for himself even more, his wish is only that, but he can't get any support, he suddenly feels very powerless.
In the face of his son's resistance, Gu Chengkun was also angry. He didn't expect that the successor of the company he had carefully cultivated would rebel against him. This is something that Gu Chengkun can't accept, he thinks that no matter what, Gu Mulin will accept the company willingly. At this time, Gu Chengkun looked at his son, like a hungry wolf staring at his food, and his eyes were shining.
After a while, both father and son slowly calmed down, and Gu Chengkun also knew that this matter was in a hurry, and he should take his time. He took a deep breath and decided to put this matter aside for the first time and tell Gu Mulin about another important matter.
"Let's not talk about this for now, let's put it aside. I'm here with you today mainly to tell you about Bingbing. Gu Chengkun looked at Gu Mulin and spoke to him with a serious face.
"What? Bingbing's thing? What happened to Bingbing? As soon as Gu Mulin heard the word "Bingbing", his entire nerves tensed, and his tone was full of worry.
Gu Chengkun saw that Gu Mulin's reaction was so intense, which he didn't expect, after all, he had always felt that his son was a relatively indifferent person, and he had never shown any nervousness to anyone. It was the first time he had seen his son so nervous, and it was for a girl. But this girl is none other than Gu Chengkun's favorite choice for daughter-in-law - Luo Bingbing, so Gu Chengkun was even more happy, and his mouth couldn't close with a smile.
"Hahaha, hahaha, look at your nervous appearance, I just mentioned the word "Bingbing", you are already so nervous, so if something really goes wrong, then wouldn't you be even more worried. Gu Chengkun laughed while teasing his son.
As soon as Gu Mulin heard it, he knew that nothing had happened to Luo Bingbing, but when he heard his father say this, he felt a little embarrassed. He realized that he was so nervous that he was so nervous that his palms were sweating, and this was the first time he had been so nervous.
"I have considered your feelings this time, and I have definitely come according to your wishes, and this time you will do what I say." Gu Chengkun's eyes narrowed, like an old fox waiting for the rabbit, just waiting for Gu Mulin, the rabbit, to fall into the pit.
Gu Chengkun's words made Gu Mulin confused, he really didn't know what his father was talking about, and he didn't know why he was so excited, which made him a little puzzled. "If you have anything to say, just say it, you don't have to sell it to me here, you have to say it anyway." Gu Mulin doesn't like others to talk and beat around the bush, especially the sinister face of his smile, which makes him feel that things are definitely not simple. Especially when talking to an old fox like your father, you have to be very careful, otherwise you will dig a pit and jump in, you don't know.
It's not a loss, the father and son, they have already figured out each other's bottoms, and it's almost time for the two of them to fight wits and courage. However, as the saying goes, "knowing the son is better than the father" is quite reasonable.
