Chapter 42: Father and Son Talk
Seeing that Ao Tianmo refused to sign, Ao Dingyang actually knew his son's nature. But he also decided after careful consideration, so this time he must ask Aotianmo to sign the document, whether he agrees or not, he has to find a way to get him to agree.
"Tianmo, these were originally for you, it's useless for me to keep them, if you don't accept them, how can I go out to play with peace of mind? I said at the time, when you take over the company, I will travel the world, and if you don't sign, you are embarrassing your father. "Ao Dingyang wants to persuade his son.
Ao Tianmo was also very helpless: "Dad, you also know that once I sign, it means that you will hand over all your belongings to me." I can't ask for it, don't embarrass me, besides, I have my own company abroad now. ”
"You should know that I'm back because you're here! Not at all for the company. Take over the company because it's all your hard work, and nothing else. Aotianmo's rare patient explanation.
Seeing Ao Tianmo say this, Ao Dingyang had no choice but to ask the lawyer to wait for him in the car: "I want to talk to you alone, go to your office!" ”
As smart as Gong Jianming: "I'll go and familiarize myself with the company's situation first, and I'll go to the office to find you." "Turn away, leaving the space for father and son.
The president's office is upstairs in the conference room. This used to be Ao Dingyang's office, and a few days ago he asked people to change the style of the office to make it easier for Ao Tianmo to go to work.
Entering the office, Ao Dingyang instructed the secretary to make two cups of tea and come in, and then look at the outside, and did not allow anyone to approach the president's office, and discussed important matters with him now, and was not allowed to disturb.
It was the first time for Ao Tianmo to see his father so cautious. Pull out the president's chair behind the desk, let my father sit down, and then sit across from me. Wait for the secretary to finish delivering tea and close the door. Ao Tianmo picked up a cup and handed it to Ao Dingyang.
"Dad, you only have 65% of the shares in the company, but you want to give me 55% of the shares, what should Rong Rong and them do? Will his mother and daughter give up? I don't want my home to be messed up with miasma. Ao Tianmo reminded his father.
Ao Dingyang sighed, stood up, walked to the window, and looked out the window with his hands behind his back.
It was the first time for Ao Tianmo to look carefully at his father's back, and he didn't know what was wrong, he felt the vicissitudes and loneliness from his father's back.
"Dad, we are father and son, is there anything else you can't tell me?" Ao Tianmo stood up and stood side by side with his father.
Ao Dingyang still looked out the window, and seemed to have made a lot of determination: "Alas, I'm this age, and there is nothing to hide in front of you." ”
"When I decided to hand over the company to you, I wanted you to have a better space for development. The second is to take advantage of the fact that his body is still good, walk around and relax. Ao Dingyang stretched out his hand and patted Ao Tianmo's shoulder gently.
Motioned to Ao Tianmo to bring the teacup over: "Although I have not had a good relationship with your aunt over the years, she has been entangled in the fact that I only have your mother in my heart." If you have something to do, take it out and make noise, but after so many years of bumps and bumps, it has been counted. ”
After taking a sip of tea, Ao Dingyang's words carried a hint of sadness: "It is undeniable that if your mother had told me that she was pregnant, I would have chosen your mother and son even if I didn't want the company." But things went wrong and pushed Chen Ping into my life. ”
"I don't like Chen Ping's personality very much, and I can even say I dislike it. I love your mother in my heart, and Chen Ping also knows it, but she used indiscriminate means to deceive me. Ao Dingyang's words were full of self-deprecation.
lit a cigarette, sandwiched it between his fingers, and the thin smoke drifted in front of the window with his fingers: "Your mother chose to hide her pregnancy and leave at that time, and I am a more traditional person in my bones, so I feel that I should be responsible for Chen Ping and the child in her belly, so I chose to marry Chen Ping." ”
"This is the stupidest decision I've ever made in my life, and if it weren't for my hesitation, your mother probably wouldn't have left, and the tragedy that followed wouldn't have happened." Ao Tianmo felt his father's chagrin.
Many reasons for men's failure are indecision, and Ao Dingyang is like this, because of the delay between the company and his lover, he can't make up his mind, so Chen Ping has the opportunity to push his beloved away from his side.
"By the time I found out that I had been deceived by Chen Ping, it was too late, I couldn't find your mother, in that case, I was discouraged, thinking that if I got divorced, without your mother, life would not matter who I was husband and wife with, in order to reduce trouble, it would be better to make do." Aotian listened silently to his father.
took a puff of cigarette, Ao Dingyang's bland eyes seemed to tell someone else's story: "So no matter how Chen Ping makes trouble, I choose to ignore it or avoid her entanglement on the grounds of a business trip." Never make noise on the countertop, and maintain the illusion of peace in front of the child's door. ”
Time passed day by day, and the war without gunpowder smoke continued in the shadows. Ao Dingyang goes out early and returns late every day, Chen Ping shows up outside every day, and in this kind of situation where the well water does not interfere with the river water, decades have passed.
Ao Dingyang had a sense of helpless frustration: "Until this time when it comes to marriage, Tianmo, you know, our family doesn't need to marry anyone at all, but thinking about my indifference to Chen Ping over the years, I still feel indebted in the bottom of my heart." Although her methods back then were disgraceful, after all, she also put her life into it. ”
"Seeing that you don't seem to have any contact with the opposite sex, I thought that I could not only give you a family, but also give Chen Ping an explanation, so that she could take over the company. It's a win-win-win-win Ao Dingyang turned back to Ao Tianmo, his eyes were full of helplessness.
"It's just that what I didn't expect is that decades have passed, and she has entered the age of not being confused, and she is still keen on calculation. Let you marry Yan Wanying, I'm afraid that she has planned it a long time ago. ”
"By the time I knew it was too late, although I didn't embarrass her in front of everyone, I became suspicious of her, and I don't know how much she was hiding from me." Aotianmo's father and son rarely communicated, and he never knew that his father also had difficulties.
Returning to the chair and sitting down, Ao Dingyang told Ao Tianmo that after he found someone to investigate Chen Ping secretly, he knew that his life had been such a failure all along.
It turns out that Chen Ping's heart has never been in this family, she is a very possessive person, as long as she looks at it, whether it is a person or a thing, she will do whatever it takes to possess it.
And Ao Dingyang was just the person who was unfortunately taken by her Chen Ping back then, for this reason, Chen Ping abandoned her childhood sweetheart's first love and tried her best to marry Ao Dingyang.
When Chen Ping knew that Ao Dingyang was looking for Qin Susu, she did not hesitate to throw herself into the arms of her first love, and also tried her best to make her first love abandon his wife and return to be with her. And Chen Ping and his first love hooked up for more than 20 years.
The saddest thing is that when he knew that Chen Ping had been with his first love, Ao Dingyang did a paternity test for himself and his two daughters, and it was no surprise that the two daughters were not his own.
Although after getting married, Ao Dingyang and Chen Ping were estranged because of deception, and they lived separately. But I don't know why, in the first few years, there were a few mornings when Chen Ping woke up in the bed of Ao Dingyang. Ao Dingyang didn't blame Chen Ping, after all, he was a normal person.
Although only a few times, Ao Dingyang never doubted that the child would be different. Now that I think about it, those few times should have been an illusion deliberately created by Chen Ping in order to hide the identity of the child.
If it weren't for this investigation and paternity test, Ao Dingyang would never have imagined that Chen Pingcheng's Mansion would be so deep. Chen Ping is also a very forbearant person, for so many years, she would rather stay in the Ao family and enjoy the blessings of Qi people, but she did not leave, it should also be because Ao Dingyang can bring her a rich life.
In this case, Ao Dingyang simply gave the shares to Ao Tianmo, and after dealing with these things, he took the photos of his lover to travel around the world, and the life and death of Chen Ping's family of four had nothing to do with him Ao Dingyang. Failure has been stupid for decades, and Ao Dingyang does not want to leave regrets in his old age.
Ao Dingyang's eyes were cloudy, and his tone was somewhat self-deprecating.
It was quiet in the office, Ao Tianmo didn't even take a sip of tea, he listened to his father quietly with a heavy heart. He didn't know how to comfort this man who had been so strong; I can't really understand what it would be like for a middle-aged man to suddenly know that he has been betrayed and raise children for others. whether it is mixed or full of anger; Is it heartbroken or dead...
Looking at his father, who was shrouded in desolation, Ao Tianmo suddenly found that his father had aged a lot in the past few days, and he had a little gray hair on his head. Now in front of him is no longer the gentleman who is gentle and elegant in front of everyone; The elegant and dignified chairman.
At this moment, Ao Dingyang is an ordinary father in front of Ao Tianmo; One is melancholy, a little lost, and full of a sense of failure; There is also a little vicissitudes and regrets of the father.
Ao Tianmo stood up, picked up the pen on the desk, and signed his name on the document: "Dad, I signed the word, you can rest assured, leave all the things at home to me, from now on, you can do whatever you want, everything is with me, find the right one to travel with my mother." ”
patted his son's shoulder, his eyes were full of relief: "Of course I don't worry, although your father has failed in this life, but with such an excellent son, all failures are not worth mentioning." ”
"You just took office, there are a lot of things to deal with, and Dad still has things to deal with, so I'll leave first, and when I have the opportunity, our father and son will have a meal together, and I will have a drink with your father and me." Ao Dingyang got up and walked towards the door.
Ao Tianmo nodded, personally sent his father downstairs, and watched his father leave.
Back to the company, Ao Tianmo called Gong Jianming, and the company's affairs really need to be familiar. Gong Jianming is the same, he needs more time and energy to understand the internal affairs of the Shengshi Collective.
The sun wasn't too big in the morning, and the temperature outside was just right, making it extra comfortable for people bathed in the sun. Because of the openness with his son, Ao Dingyang now feels relaxed.
Leaning on the back seat of the car, Ao Dingyang was still thinking about what his son had just told him, he thought that Ao Tianmo had always hated himself, everything turned out to be that he had thought too much, father and son are father and son, the so-called estrangement can disappear between words, this feeling made his depressed mood in the past few days suddenly released.
Ao Dingyang relaxed his mood and began to close his eyes and recuperate.
