160. Delegate
After a moment of silence, Jiang Yu licked his lips, spit out a mouthful of turbid air in his chest, and connected the phone with some trepidation.
"Moses Moses ......"
"I heard you've been doing pretty well lately?"
What greeted him was a straightforward sentence that Jiang Yu couldn't understand.
"What?"
Rightfully so.
There was a brief silence on the other end of the phone, and then the other side laughed and scolded: "You kid, are you still pretending to be confused with your father? β
Hearing the familiar salutations and laughing words in his memory, Jiang Yu's heart relaxed for some reason, and the conversation with his blood father became smoother.
"Heh-who's called...... Dad, you always like to say things that have no cause and effect? It's just a meter of Wow Kanai. β
"Heyββ! I said, you bastard boy haven't been taught by me recently, and you feel like you're capable? β
"Oh, then I hope you can beat me in a fighting game next time!"
ββ¦β¦ You stinky boy, say you won't mention this stubble again! β
This is how the predecessor has always communicated with his father, and the relationship between the two is perhaps more like friends of equal status than ordinary father and son. In Jiang Yu's memory, Jiang He has never scolded him or even beaten him for anything, and this aspect of the matter is generally done by the grandfather of the predecessor, if Jiang He also tries to intervene, Jiang Yinzhou, the grandfather who is still in good health, does not mind the father and son beating together.
In this greeting and laughter, Jiang He on the other end of the phone showed a long-lost smile. He leaned against the windowsill, and the room was pitch black, except for a small area next to him that was slightly lit by the computer's light source.
Extinguishing the cigarette butt in his hand, Jiang He stopped fighting with his son, coughed lightly, and said seriously into the phone: "Then let's talk about business, tomorrow...... Well, no, the day after tomorrow, I remember that your school should be on vacation, right? β
Jiang Yu was stunned for a moment, but still responded: "It's a holiday, three days off from tomorrow, do you need my help with anything?" β
"Hmm...... It's not a big deal, the morning after tomorrow, you will pick up someone at Haneda Airport instead of me. And for the time being, let her stay with you! β
ββ¦β¦ Well, if I heard me right, what you just did was to stuff a person into my current place in a casual tone? And it's still 'her'? Would the girls like that......"
Jiang Yu said a little angrily.
"Ah...... I also have all kinds of inconveniences here, and the company's business has been a lot of trouble recently, and there are several projects in my hand that are tracking the progress throughout the process. But it's an old friend's request over there, please take care of his daughter here, I can't refuse anyway......"
"So you left the problem to me to solve? Please think about it, I'm still underage, right? How can you take care of others......"
"Hey, stinky boy, don't think I don't know, isn't that kid living well with you? Even if you are asked to take care of one more person, it is just a matter of having an extra pair of chopsticks, right? β
ββ¦β¦ Doesn't the other party have any relatives here? Asking an old friend of yours to take care of his daughter, and you threw this matter to me so casually? β
"Well...... It seems that the relatives here make people not feel at ease.,Although it's the child's cousin.,And also asked for the other party's opinion.,It seems that I asked for it because I refused.γ β
"Heyββ! β¦β¦β
Jiang Yu, who was a little speechless, fell into silence, glanced at his room a few times, his face showed a sudden expression, and quickly interrupted Jiang He, who seemed to be about to hang up the phone after finishing the matter, and said, "Even so, I don't have a place for her to live here?" There are only two bedrooms in this house in total, one for my own use, and the other for small burial, there is no empty space, right? β
"Isn't there a little study? It's enough to live alone, right? β
Then Jiang He, who was on the other side, said so naturally.
"Hmm...... It's not good to let a girl sleep in the study? β
"Heh, let the girl sleep or let yourself sleep, it's up to you to decide. Ah-yes, the other side may have some ...... Need someone to take care of it? Well...... I don't know how to explain it, but you'll understand it when you see it! After that, act on your own judgment. So, finally, carry out the routine interrogation ceremony, Jiang Yu, are you willing to accept this commission and go to the crusade at 10 o'clock in the morning the day after tomorrow...... Sorry, picking you up from Haneda Airport? β
This is a game that my predecessor often played with his father when he was a child, and since Jiang He is a veteran player of MMORPG, Jiang Yu was also brought into the pit by him. If there is something that the other needs from the other, they will put forward such words similar to the task entrustment - of course, mainly by Jiang Yu - and the other party will most likely accept it.
But...... In Jiang Yu's memory, it seems that after the death of his predecessor's mother, there has been no such play between the two, and Jiang He has gradually taken over the work of the entire family business since then, until now. The old man of the family was also able to stay at home.
It can be seen that the other party's mood seems to be very good now, so he will come up with such a tone and say such words like playing with Jiang Yu when he was a child.
Shaking his head, Jiang Yu smiled helplessly, and replied, "Yes...... I'll accept it, right? But what about the photos? How can I recognize people without photos? Also,You don't know if it's a slip of the tongue or malicious selling cute.,It's even better if you can get rid of it.γ β
"Tsk, okay, then hang up. I'll send the picture to your mailbox later. In addition, I am looking forward to what kind of work you can make with a group of high school students. β
After finishing speaking, Jiang He hung up the phone, returned to his computer desk, twisted his neck, and began to look for the other party's photo. However, Jiang He found that he only had photos of the other party when he was a child. After thinking about it, he still sent it to Jiang Yu, and he remembered that the other party didn't seem to have changed much from when he was a childβexcept for his body shape. Then I continued my previous work and began to review one document after another from the company.
Jiang Yu on the other side stood in place, looking at the mobile phone screen that had been extinguished, and after a long time, he suddenly lay on the bed with a sigh of relief, one hand covering the somewhat dazzling light, and the other hand on the quilt.
Seem...... Did the communication go well?
Jiang Yu secretly wondered. He was afraid of revealing anything in front of his predecessor's father, but that natural familiarity made his communication with the other party quite smooth, which also made Jiang Yu let go of a big stone lying in his heart.
Jiang Yu doesn't hate Jiang He's relaxed way of communicating. In the memory of his previous life, his father's impression was already very vague. He didn't know whether he was a Zhuangzi who dreamed of butterflies or a butterfly who dreamed of Zhuangzi. But now that this is the case, he still cherishes the traces left by his predecessor in this world.
After all, since you have accepted the identity of the other party and live in this world as a matter of course as the person in your memory, you should also accept everything from the other party.
