Chapter 55: The Elderly Father
Gao Li kept muttering in his mouth when I was brought into the small box door, to the effect that I just need to pretend, why am I still so ruthless. I patiently explained several reasons to him: 1. My fiancée is professional, and she can be seen at a glance between real and fake beatings. 2. Regarding this mission, I listened to your tone very dangerous, but from the task arrangement, it was relaxed and ordinary, and I felt that it was concealed so I was very unhappy when comparing the two. 3, you can come by yourself, why do you still bring your sister, I know that I have a bit of that with her, and my fiancée is here again today, with ill intentions, I should fight. 4. The reasons mentioned above are all made up by me, and the reason why I am so ruthless is because I want to beat you.
Colliers lodged a serious protest against this, but unfortunately the protest was ineffective, and a little interest was added to the rejection. So much so that as soon as Colliers entered the door, the three beauties present all stopped their movements and surrounded them with solemn expressions.
"Gao Li, I used to see that your whole person was round, although you were a little fat but not bloated, but why did you look a little left and right today?" This is my fiancée Gao Yanyan's question.
"Brother, Cleopatra-style dark circles are not for you, go and wipe them off." This is the bitter advice of Gao Li's sister Gao Li.
"It's good that this suit is not very expensive." This is my sister Xiaoxiao's concluding remarks.
With a lewd smile on his face, Collier explained: "Hitting is kissing, scolding is love." Yanyan, you have to be careful, maybe one day I will snatch Guo Yi away from you......" My fist directly interrupted his nonsense, but the other three ladies were already laughing.
It was at this time that a bodyguard-like guy knocked on our door and expressed in a very tactful but blunt way that my father wanted to see me immediately. According to my nature, I must have waved his big hand and told him to get out of here immediately, but I saw the look that Gao Li secretly gave me, and I finally endured it, and the word "roll" with a big hand still didn't come out, but said: "Got it, I'll come in a while." ”
The bodyguard wanted to insist on saying something more, but my sister waved to stop him. Xiaoxiao smiled: "My brother just got out of the car, and he will pass after a little rest." ”
Since the eldest lady of the Guo family spoke, the bodyguard naturally didn't want to insist on anything, so he politely withdrew. After the door closed gently, Xiaoxiao walked up to my side and persuaded me: "Brother, I know that you still have a lot of prejudice against your father in your heart, but you rarely go home once, even if it is for my sake, go and see your father." ”
It seems that she took what I just said as perfunctory. I touched her head and replied, "Yes." It's your birthday, and I'm not going to do anything to make you happy. ”
Suddenly remembering that when I heard Xiaoxiao say that my father seemed to have seen Gao Yanyan once, I couldn't help but feel a little worried, so I pulled Gao Yanyan over and asked, "Yanyan, have you seen my dad, he didn't embarrass you." ”
Gao Yanyan, who has always been unruly, uncharacteristically showed the appearance of a little woman, she shook her head: "It's nothing, it's just a casual conversation, mainly to ask you how you have lived in the past few years." And also...... Ask me if I'm pregnant or something. ”
"Just look at your stomach and know if you don't." Gao Li seemed to come back to life without fear of death, and joked very casually, "Guo Yi, you can't do it." Do you want to go to the hospital for a check-up? Gao Yanyan's body is so good, if there is a problem, it must be on your side. ”
I craned my neck and pretended to untie my belt, while shouting, "Far water can't quench my thirst, so why don't you let me check it on the spot." ”
"If you dare to take it off, I will dare to check. There is a kind of you take off, just take it off here. Colliers rolled up his sleeves and prepared to do a big job. The attitudes of the three ladies present reflect the three stages of a woman very well. Gao Li blushed and looked very nervous. Xiaoxiao's face was slightly red, and she wanted to see it, but she was a little afraid to look at it. Gao Yanyan was calm, knocking on Erlang's leg leisurely, and at the same time did not forget to make a noise: "Take it off, we are still afraid that we will not succeed,"
In the end, the farce was still rounded by Xiaoxiao, after all, she is now a landlord. She dragged me away from the scene with the simple excuse of going to see my father.
Although it has not been back for several years, everything here is still so familiar, and the internal structure of the GENZ Group headquarters building does not seem to have changed much from a few years ago. My father's private study was still in the small room on the top floor that could only be reached by an encrypted elevator. It was there that I talked to my father about the breakup, and since then I have left everything and run away from home, and this is a few years, although I have not been far from this city, but I want to say that it is not that I still have nostalgia for this place, and I still have illusions about my father. I just don't want to leave the city where my mother is buried. Want me to leave my homeland? Guo Xiaotian: He is not qualified enough.
A few years later, I stood at the door of this study again, and I don't know why I was a little nervous and my palms were a little sweaty. Maybe seeing that I was a little different from usual, Xiaoxiao grabbed my hand on the side and cheered me on: "Brother, you will always be the best in Xiaoxiao's heart." ”
"Huh." I turned to her and smiled, "Human-like dogs." ”
"Brother, he is your father after all, and now that he is old, we of the younger generation can let it go a little." Xiaoxiao looked at me with deep meaning and persuaded.
"I said it, it's your birthday today, and everything is as you wish." I took a deep breath and pushed open the door and walked into the study. Xiaoxiao didn't follow up because she knew the rules.
The study was as dark as ever, because there were no electrical lighting tools, only candles or kerosene lamps, and I still don't understand why. In the supposedly state-of-the-art GENZ Group building, there is a room with no electric lights, fans, and of course, no air conditioning, and only kerosene lamps and rocking chairs. My father sat in the rattan rocking chair behind the mahogany table, issuing one order after another that was enough to shake the world's financial streets. In this room, the message is transmitted in one direction, from one end of the table to the other end, all you have to do is listen, obey, and execute. Any information that is contrary to the situation will be seen as a great rebellion, with the subordinates rebelling against the superiors.
I don't know if I'm the first person to say no to him, certainly not the first, and definitely not the last. However, I came back here, not knowing if it was a winner, a loser, or nothing.
"You're finally back." Today's kerosene lamps are dim, perhaps the glass cover should be wiped down. My father was cowered in a rocking chair, unable to see his face clearly, but his voice seemed to be much older.
"Today is Xiaoxiao's birthday." I suddenly relented, so I didn't talk to him as hard as I used to.
"The reason doesn't matter. It's the results that matter. The result is that you're standing here again. Father poked his head out of the darkness. I was surprised if the marks left on him by time were a little heavier. A middle-aged man who should be in his fifties according to his age now looks like an old man in his sixties and seventies, with gray hair, wrinkles, and even large age spots on his skin. Is this retribution? I don't know why, but I should be happy and happy, but my heart is empty.
"You're a lot older." I said, looking at his old face.
He didn't seem to hear this, but said to himself: "Xiaoxiao should have already told you, tonight I will announce that you will inherit the GNZ Group." In the next few days, you will be the new President of the GENZ Group. ”
"You know, I'm not interested in inheritance at all."
"I don't care if you dare to be interested or not." My father stared at me and said, "I don't care if you give the position of president to a homeless man on the street." You must take this position for me today in front of everyone. ”
"I don't understand anything."
"If you don't understand, you can learn."
"I don't want to learn."
"You don't have to learn, you will have the most suitable person to do everything for you."
"Then I'm just a name."
"This name is not something that can be hung up if you want to."
"False name."
"Even if it's a piece of, you'll have to take it from me." Father's voice suddenly rose an octave.
I instinctively seemed to refute him, but the half sentence he said later made it impossible for me to refute it.
"I promised your mother."
The whole room suddenly fell silent, with the angry father on one side and the son with his head bowed on the other.
