"Isn't my uncle coming back for dinner today?"

At dinner time, Ning Ye saw that the position of Chu Dad on the other side of the table was still empty, and couldn't help but ask with some concern.

Since the dinner four days ago, after answering that mysterious phone call and leaving in a hurry, Dad Chu has hardly seen anyone in the past few days, and has been busy outside, and he has not even come back for dinner.

The occasional meeting was also very short, although Dad Chu deliberately disguised himself and pretended to be relaxed, Ning Ye could still sense that something was wrong, it didn't seem to be like Chu Ran said before, just encountered a small trouble in business.

"Your uncle has been a little busy with business lately, and he will be fine after a while."

With a kitchen skirt around her waist, Mama Chu, who was serving the fragrant fish-flavored shredded pork to the table, smiled gently and comforted: "Xiaoye, don't worry about this, eat quickly, if it's cold, it won't taste good." Xiao Lian, tell Auntie what you like to eat, Auntie will continue to cook it for you tomorrow! ”

Since Ning Ye took her daughter to stay at Chu Ran's house these days, Chu's mother has worked tirelessly to cook every day and cook a large table of delicious food, so that Chu Ran, his own son, is feasting on his mouth, but also complaining about his mother's differential treatment.

Now in this family, the most powerful status is not Chu Ran and Chu Yun, the biological brothers and sisters, nor Ning Ye's godson-like existence, but Ning Ye's daughter, the cute little Lori.

Whether it is Chu's father and Chu's mother, who are the owners of the house, or those nannies and maids in the mansion, they all like this little Lori from the bottom of their hearts. Many of them now have snacks and candy in their pockets ready to feed at any time.

During the day and day of Ningye, during the time when she went to school, at the strong request of Chu's mother, who was a full-time housewife, her daughter was naturally handed over to her.

I have to say that this has caused a good thing, Chu Ma, who was originally the wife of the richest man in Jiangcheng, although she has a lot of wealth, but her life on weekdays is actually very boring and lonely.

And now, because of the appearance of little Lori, she directly quit rubbing mahjong, and her life is very full and interesting.

"Mom, what's the trouble Dad has been in lately? I'm so old, I should have the right to know! ”

Chu Ran, who had always been the first to be eager to start the chopsticks, did not move at all this time, and asked his mother with a rare serious expression.

As a biological son who has lived under the same roof for more than ten years, he also sensed from some subtle expressions of his parents that something was wrong this time, and it was not a small problem that could be easily solved.

From a stall vendor, he started from scratch step by step, built this grand business empire, and became the richest man in Jiangcheng today.

However, late yesterday night, Chu Ran, who wanted to go to the living room to pour a glass of water, accidentally caught a glimpse of a scene. For the first time in his life, when he saw his father, who was as invincible as a god of war in the business world, he sat on the sofa tired and sighed, revealing such a dazed and helpless expression.

"It's just some small troubles in business, you don't have to worry about it, Xiaoran......"

"Smack!"

Chu Ran stood up, his palm slamming on the marble dining table, his eyes slightly red.

"Mom! I know that in your eyes, I may still be a small child, so I need your white lies to protect me. However, my sister is still young, and as the eldest son in the family, I will inevitably shoulder this responsibility in the future, so I want to grow up quickly enough to be able to help you share the pressure on you! So, I hope you can be honest with my son and tell me the truth of the matter! ”

It seems that he never thought that his son, who has always been very improper, would be able to say such powerful words, and Chu's mother was a little stunned.

Seeing her son's determined eyes, she sighed lightly, and decided not to hide it anymore and decided to tell the truth.

"Recently, someone approached your father and insisted that he had committed crimes before and used illegal means to make profits, so that he could become the richest man in Jiangcheng. Therefore, he was ordered to hand over all his possessions, or else he would be severely punished! Speaking of this, Mother Chu's face darkened, and she was at a loss.

"It's absolutely impossible!"

Chu Ran's eyes widened, and he immediately retorted: "Dad has always paid attention to honesty in business, which is well-known in the entire circle, how can he commit crimes and use illegal means to make profits?" ”

These words are not because the other party is his father, so he reverses black and white and blindly says good things.

In fact, as Chu Ran said, Chu's father was born in the countryside, and since he started his own stall from scratch, he has kept the word "integrity" in mind and implemented it in every word and deed, and never deceived customers with shoddy products because of temporary interests.

There is also a widely praised case here, when Chu's father's business improved slightly, he invested all his net worth in the real estate business, and contracted a piece of land to build a community. Because of the flow of funds, after the planning of this community, like other real estate developers, more than half of the houses were pre-sold in advance, and the homeowners paid a part of the deposit in advance.

As a result, that year, because of economic development, the housing prices in Jiangcheng soared like a rocket, more than seven or eight times.

The rest of the real estate developers, seeing this situation, immediately sat on the ground and asked the guests who had paid the deposit to increase the price, otherwise they would refund a liquidated damages to you in accordance with the agreement signed in black and white on the contract, and the house would not be sold.

And Chu's father did not do this, and still sold those houses to the guests according to the price signed at that time, without any increase. In addition, the building materials are strictly controlled, and it is better to spend more costs than to build tofu slag projects, which greatly increases the service life of the house.

At that time, those real estate developers in the outside world laughed at Dad Chu's head kicked by a donkey, he was a big fool, such a good opportunity, such a large amount of money in front of him didn't know how to make a profit.

As for integrity? What era is it now, and when you talk about such old-fashioned things, making money is the most important thing! What's more, it was clearly written in the original contract that it was enough to compensate for liquidated damages, and it was not illegal to do so anyway.

In the face of these ridicules, Dad Chu did not respond to anything, although he made a lot of less money, but it was precisely because of this incident that he gained an excellent reputation among the ordinary people in Jiangcheng.

Maybe it's God's gift to Chu's father's behavior, just half a year later, with the strong support of the government, a large foreign consortium came to Jiangcheng to inspect and consider building the best large-scale shopping mall and commercial street in Jiangcheng. When those consortium investors heard about this during the inspection, they ignored the most powerful construction companies in Jiangcheng at that time, and instead took the initiative to extend an olive branch to Chu's father, who was just starting out at that time, and handed over this giant order project that everyone was looking for.

It's like a snowball, because Chu's reputation for honesty is well-known, and many companies are willing to take the initiative to cooperate.

Chu Ran didn't believe that a father like him, who paid attention to integrity, would do things that violated the law and made black money.
