Yan Sunian knocked on the door a few times, and the father in the study responded, "Come in." ”

"Dad!"

"Hey."

"You're not sleeping yet?"

"It's still early? Your dad and I are not old yet? Just like you young people, when you sleep, Dad sleeps too. ”

"I've been going to bed early lately."

"Have you been on your business lately? Can it still hold up? ”

"Well, it's okay, just get used to it. Don't underestimate me, I'm doing more than you think. ”

"Dad didn't underestimate you, I know that my son must be amazing, but don't hold on if you can't hold on, tell Dad if you have something, I can help you settle it."

"That's not everything that can be settled."

"Why not, you doubt Dad's ability before you say it?"

"That's not what I meant, so I don't want to bother you. If I can solve it myself, I will definitely try to solve it myself, and I don't want people to say that my company is supported by my father. ”

"Before I could gain a firm foothold, I began to want to be independent."

"There's something I need your help with."

"What's the matter?"

"If you are free, please go home early and spend more time with your mother."

"Has your sister been home less recently?"

"Well, what kind of dance club does her school have, and she teaches others to dance, so she rarely comes back to live."

"She's willing to teach people to dance, and she has the patience?"

"yes, that's what she told me."

"It seems that what your mother said is true, and your relationship has changed for the better recently, right?"

"Pretty much."

"It seems that you have really grown up and are no longer competing against each other."

"Dad, we are competing against each other, and you and Mom are half responsible."

"We are responsible? Why is it on our heads? ”

"Isn't that right? You said that after she entered our house, my mother treated her as a baby and didn't care much about me, can I not be jealous or depressed? I hated her to death. ”

"What do children understand? Can mom really want a daughter, there is really no way, just adopt one, I am different from your mother, besides, you are my birthday son, can I treat you badly? ”

"Yes, I know you're good to me, but you're just as biased as your mother, so Xiaoxiao hates me too."

"Why am I biased?"

"Then I'll be straight to the point."

"You say, Dad, I'm listening to you today."

"Look, I started my own company, and you have invested a lot, but Xiaoxiao just wants to set up a counter to sell clothes in the shopping mall at the back door of the school, and you don't let me, can she balance her heart?"

"Can that be the same? You are doing big things, what do she do with a girl's family, how much money can she make selling clothes at a counter, dealing with people outside all day long, and depending on people's faces, she thinks simply. ”

"It's not a matter of how much money, you also know that Xiaoxiao is a very face-saving person, what I can do, she also wants to show it, but you don't even give her a chance, what will she think."

"I kind of understand, you're here to be a lobbyist for Xiaoxiao today."

"Nope."

"Not yet, when will you be able to fool Dad's eyes? Tell me, didn't Xiaoxiao tell me about it? ”

Yan Sunian did not speak.

"Why don't you speak?"

"Dad! Can you still talk properly, you have pierced me before you even say it, what else do I have to say? ”

"So, I'm right."

"Hey!" Yan Su Nian sighed, "I have to guess the customer's mind when I go to work during the day, and what I say to my father at night is debunked, full of loopholes, why am I so tired." Can't you just use your business tricks on me? ”

"That's what you set me first. Say, why did you reconcile with Xiaoxiao and help her be a lobbyist? ”

"Why am I telling you?"

"Because you said it, I can think about whether it's worth it."

"Then you promise me to let Xiaoxiao open this shop first, and I'll talk about it."

"Yo, you'll tell me the conditions."

"Otherwise, I'm not saying it in vain, what's in it for me."

"Do you think I'll say yes?"

"You'll say yes."

"Why are you so sure?"

"Didn't you always want our sister and brother to get along as much as your mother did? Such a rare opportunity, would you object? ”

"Okay, the analysis is good, I'll promise you."

"Are you telling the truth? No repentance? ”

"I am the head of the family, how can I regret my words."

"The thing is very simple, that is, our company has a new game, and we need to find a spokesperson, but I haven't found a suitable one, so I want Xiaoxiao to help, so that the budget can be much less, and the effect will not be bad."

"So what she's asking is that you're going to help be this lobbyist?"

"Yes."

"Well, since you can reconcile, Dad will be very pleased, and he will definitely help if there is any favor."

"Really?"

"Of course it's true. But I have one request. ”

"What requirements?"

"In just three months, if she can recoup the cost, she will continue to drive, otherwise I will take it back."

"It's too embarrassing for her, in three months, how much is the rent of the mall for a year, how can she get it back?"

"It's not that she can't do it, if she can't do it, it only means that she is not suitable for this, and I am doing it for her good. The clothing market is almost saturated, and if you can't steal business from other people's bowls, you're basically a dead end. ”

"She doesn't think so, she must think you're deliberately making things difficult."

"This is the minimum I can agree to, do you want to think about it yourself."

"Okay, just do as you say, I'll tell her tomorrow."

"Don't worry, I understand Xiaoxiao's personality, she is not a person who will retreat, you have to push her, if you don't force her, she will be lazy, if you force her, she will move forward, although the money is not much, but it is also my father's hard-earned money, you can't go to waste!"

"So that's what you think, Dad."

"In the future, you and Xiaoxiao will still return to the company to help Dad, I can see that both of you have great potential."

"Dad, how many times have I told you, I have to do my own thing."

"Child, you are still young, you will understand in the future, how difficult it is to build a group, now you can still hold on to a small company, you can't expect how difficult and difficult the road will be in the future, and it is not too late to turn back when you hit the south wall."

"I don't have that big dreams, I don't want to build an empire, I just want to do what I love."

"Okay, do what you like!"

"I don't want to be like you who don't have time for my family, you know? Every time the three of us ate together, we thought how nice it would be if you were there. ”

"Dad knows that he is ashamed of you, so isn't it that I will try to satisfy you with everything you ask?"

"Dad, I'm not talking about material."

"Dad understands, when Dad retires, he will be at home every day, and at that time you are married, and your sister is also married, maybe, you all think I am annoyed. People still have to be busy all the time to appear valuable, so that they will not be empty. Actually, sometimes I also wonder, should I retire, I used to think that my career needs me, but now I know that I need a career, I have been busy for most of my life, and suddenly I have to stop, and I will really panic. ”

Yan Sunian listened and didn't say a word.

"Now I'm telling you this, you don't understand. You're still young, you have to work hard to know? My son must not be taken lightly, although I don't understand what kind of games you have, but Dad is still young, what can't be solved, and Daddy! ”

"yes, I know."

"Your mother follows me, although I don't have to worry about food and clothing, but I know that I am not a competent husband and have no time to accompany her, so if you have time to accompany your mother more, chat with her, take her out to see the world, don't always stay at home alone, if there is anything delicious and fun, lead her to see and understand, this kind of thing should be the best at you young people."

"Well, I will. Dad, why don't we go on a trip as a family during the Chinese New Year this year? ”

"I can't promise you this matter for the time being, I'll see the arrangements at the end of the year when I get it, and we'll decide if you can."

"Okay." Yan Su Nian pouted.

"Go ahead, I've got some mail to deal with."

"Okay, then I'll go out first."

"Hmm."

Yan Su Nian returned to his room, thinking about his father's meaningful words, thinking of his mottled sideburns and wrinkles on his forehead, but he had ever thought that he was once the man of the year in the business world, and he felt a little strange with such an amiable appearance, no longer objecting to him doing what he liked.

He lay on the bed, tossing and turning, whether he was too willful, whether it was actually his father who was very tired and wanted to retire, but could not find a successor, he could understand how much his father wanted him to join his own company, but he also didn't want to give up his favorite game, let alone give up the company he had spent so much effort to improve, and suddenly felt a little dilemma.

He couldn't sleep, so he got up, went to the living room and poured himself a glass of water, and when he saw that the light in the study was still on, he tiptoed over and looked inside, and his father was still there. A table lamp carved the stubble and wrinkles on his face very obviously, Yan Sunian stood for a while, then turned around and entered the kitchen. Open the refrigerator, get a glass of milk and put it in the microwave.

This is how my mother used to give him warm milk before going to bed. He took the warm milk and tapped on the study door again.

"Who?"

"Dad, it's me!"

Yan Sunian pushed the door in, "Dad, why haven't you slept yet." He put the milk on the table.

"Oh, it's going to be fine right away. You go to sleep first. ”

"Oh, then I'm asleep." Yan Sunian withdrew from the study.

His dad plucked his eyes and looked at the milk on the table, a relieved smile on his face.
