Chapter 310: A Dinner for Five
Regarding Cheng Yu's description, Xu Dong felt that it was exaggerated, but he generally agreed.
In private, he was also quite puzzled by Cheng Guangnian's refusal to let Cheng Yu enter the company, but wanted him to stay in the United States to continue his studies.
Of course, it is important to study, and being able to work as a graduate student under the famous experts of Professor Rogers' kind is indeed something that many people dream of.
But these are not true for Cheng Yu, after all, he is a super rich second generation with a net worth of 100 billion, and he is the only heir of Cheng Guangnian.
Graduating from a top school like USC with excellent grades is enough in itself. For the rest, as Xu Dong's view, Cheng Yu should be allowed to enter the company, enter different departments in three to five years, participate in different projects, and understand the overall operation of the company as comprehensively as possible.
Then give him another two to three years to run some projects independently, and finally after ten years, he can take over.
The normal way of thinking is like this, but Cheng Guangnian obviously doesn't intend to do this, and, judging from his cultivation of the other heirs of the Cheng family, it always makes people feel that he wants to hand over the Cheng Group to others.
Of course, these Xu Dong are also pondering in his heart, and he will not show them anywhere, and he will not talk about them with anyone.
If Cheng Yu hadn't talked about this today, Xu Dong would still not have thought of this.
Both father and son are tough enough, but the main problem seems to be with the father, after all, the father's behavior is already unusual.
When Cheng Yu said this, Xu Dong also fell silent.
He was really a little speechless, which is why he couldn't find a suitable reason to kidnap Cheng Yu all the way over.
Is it possible that I will be allowed to use force with the crown prince?
Even if there is a big disagreement between their father and son, it is also father and son, Xu Dong knows very well that in addition to the matter of Cheng's Group, Cheng Guangnian is actually very concerned about Cheng Yu.
It's just that Cheng Guangnian is used to hiding his concern in the depths, so that many people can't see it really, including Cheng Yu himself.
But Xu Dong is Cheng Guangnian's assistant, and he is the closest person in the company, and he has a lot of private states, and no one else can see him except Xu Dong.
Therefore, Xu Dong still knows that in fact, Cheng Guangnian has been paying attention to Cheng Yu's growth.
Just when Xu Dong didn't know what to do, Cheng Yu suddenly said: "Brother Xu, you have been with my father for so long, even if you can't do his request today, he won't embarrass you much, right?"
Xu Dong raised his head and said with difficulty: "It's hard to say." ”
Three words, but the meaning is far-reaching.
Cheng Yu shook his head and said, "I still don't understand, why did he ask me to have a meal, why did he ask me to go to Dabie Mountain Residence." Even if you have something to talk about, it's not convenient to be at home, so why not just talk on the phone? Besides, if he really doesn't want others to know, he shouldn't let you come to me, what can he do if he runs by himself?
Xu Dong pondered for a while and said, "I'll make a call and ask Dabie Mountain Residence." ”
After that, Xu Dong picked up his mobile phone and called Dabie Mountain Residence.
"Hello, I'm Xu Dong. ”
As soon as the other side heard it, he immediately understood who was on the other side of the phone, and hurriedly said: "Oh, hello Mr. Xu, do you want to book a private room?"
When Xu Dong heard this, his brows furrowed.
Cheng Guangnian didn't make a reservation?
If Cheng Guangnian has a reservation, shouldn't the other side think that Xu Dong is here to verify the reservation information?
He said quietly: "Cheng Dong didn't book a private room today?" He asked me to confirm the reservation information. Did he forget?"
The other side was startled, and hurriedly said: "Mr. Xu, don't worry, I'll check, maybe I didn't answer the reservation call, did someone else answer but didn't have time to unify the booking information with me." ”
Xu Dong snorted, and the other party quickly inquired.
After a while, the other party said: "Mr. Xu, I have asked, but no one has received a reservation call from Cheng Dong." And, we're all booked out here tonight. Did someone else invite Cheng Dong to dinner, so ......"
Xu Dong was a little strange, and said in his heart, could it be that Cheng Dong had changed his mind and planned to push his son to the table? So someone else invited him to dinner, so he must bring Cheng Yu with him?
But if that's the case, Cheng Guangnian can say it directly, there's no need to hide it.
Just thinking about it, the other party sighed, and said: "I saw that there is a reservation information for Du Dong, saying that there are five people, and it is mentioned in the remarks that there is Cheng Dong, let us prepare Cheng Dong's favorite soup." ”
Xu Dong understood, it seems that this is a private date between Cheng Du's two families, and it is to let Cheng Yu formally pay a visit to his future father-in-law and mother-in-law.
"Okay, I didn't ask clearly, Cheng Dong mentioned it to me, I thought it was a private room booked by Cheng Dong himself. ”
"Ouch, it scared the hell out of me, I thought something was wrong with our work. If Cheng Dong wanted to book a private room but didn't book it, it would be terrible. ”
Xu Dong smiled: "Well, it's my fault, it's okay, Mrs. Du likes your whitebait stew the most, you remember to prepare." ”
"No problem, no problem. ”
Hanging up the phone, Xu Dong said: "It's not the place where Cheng Dong ordered, it was Du Dong's place." Five people...... Huh, why five people?"
This is indeed very strange, it stands to reason that since it is Cheng Du's two families eating, then it should be six people.
Let Cheng Yu go to see his mother-in-law, there is no reason not to let Du Xiaoyu appear.
Cheng Yu was also stunned: "You mean Du Changfeng?"
Xu Dong nodded, and Cheng Yu said again: "Five people? Could it be that my mother is not going?"
Cheng Yu thought that since it was Du Changfeng's reservation, he and Wei Lan would definitely go.
Moreover, Wei Lan is a full-time wife, even if there is really something, in order to officially meet her future son-in-law for the first time, she will definitely push away the affairs of those three aunts and six mothers-in-law.
And Du Xiaoyu, as one of the protagonists, is impossible not to appear, so he would rather not go.
But it's not right, Ning Kezhu shouldn't be so busy, after all, she made a special trip to Cheng Yu's side at noon. If you are so busy that you can't even go to the official meeting of the two families for the marriage, where will the time come from at noon?
Xu Dong seemed to have received an explanation, and said, "It seems that this is the only possibility." ”
Cheng Yu frowned again, if this was the case, Du Xiaoyu would definitely be asked to participate, so with the real relationship between him and Du Xiaoyu, it was impossible for Du Xiaoyu not to talk to Cheng Yu first.
Standing up, Cheng Yu took the phone and dialed Du Xiaoyu.
When I walked to the door of the café, the phone was connected.
"Ouch, who's it?" Du Xiaoyu obviously didn't even look at his phone, so he chose to answer.
"I, Cheng Yu, don't tell me you're still asleep!"
"Just woke up. Let me tell you, you went back last night, and my mother interrogated me for half the night, and I had drunk too much, and I fell asleep at dawn, can I not sleep until now?"
Cheng Yu frowned and said, "Look, did your parents call you and you didn't answer, or left you a message?"
With that, he hung up.
Du Xiaoyu was very strange, he looked at the mobile phone for a long time, and did not see any missed calls.
And, she heard movement in the living room.
