Chapter 743: The mentality is old
It has been a long time since he saw Cai Qixiang, Yan Xin went to visit this time and found that the old man looked much older than the last time they met, and even looked older than his actual age.
I used to dye my hair black, but now I don't do it, I let my hair turn gray, and the wrinkles on my face are much deeper than before.
Since his son inexplicably committed suicide by jumping off a building, this real estate tycoon has aged a lot.
Later, with the birth of his grandson, his mood stabilized, but his heart was gone, and he didn't have any pioneering and enterprising entrepreneurial spirit, and he was full of thoughts about how to keep his family property and leave it to his only grandson.
During the time when his son just died, he was still able to sit in the company and handle a lot of affairs.
After his grandson arrived, most of his thoughts were on this grandson, and he spent less and less time going to the company's office, and now he only went once or twice a month, which was more salty than Yan Xin.
When the mentality is old, the appearance is easy to get old.
I don't know if it's Yan Xin's illusion, I feel that Cai Qixiang's face now no longer has the same anger as before, and he even looks a little kind.
It may be that he has been facing his children every day for more than two years, staying away from those conspiracies and tricks, and from time to time he has also done charity on behalf of Fengxiang Group, which also has a little effect of cultivating sentiment and consumed the anger that he had before.
Seeing Yan Xin coming, he was very happy, enthusiastically took him to the house, and asked the nanny to bring the child over for him to see.
The child was born on July 3, 2009, and now it is February 2012, they are already two and a half years old, they can walk and talk, and they are a little older than the last time Yan Xin saw them.
Seeing this child, Yan Xin was also very happy in his heart, hugged him, and said to Cai Qixiang with a smile:
"It's a lot heavier than when I saw him last year."
Cai Qixiang squinted his eyes and smiled: "Take good care of it, eat a lot, and grow healthier than many children of the same age." ”
He is still quite proud of this grandson.
When he was only two and a half years old, he had already hired a private tutor for him, told him to count, taught him to read, and memorized ancient poems.
In front of Yan Xin, he asked the child to recite a song of bright moonlight in front of the bed, and happily told Yan Xin what the child had learned.
As soon as Yan Xin heard that the child was only two and a half years old, he had learned so many things, and he had some hesitation:
"Uncle, he's only so old, let him learn so many things, won't it be a bit of a sprout? At this age, shouldn't you have fun? ”
Cai Qixiang said with a smile: "It's okay, I asked the experts that you can learn something, and they all said that you can't let your child lose at the starting line." My son, who was too used to him when he was a child, ended up with nothing and ended up on that path. Now this kid can't let him go down the wrong path of his father, he must teach him to study earlier, strive to be admitted to a good university in the future, and learn more skills, so as to keep this asset. ”
After saying that, he added:
"He doesn't study for long hours a day, no more than four hours."
Yan Xin let out an "oh".
He didn't feel the need to learn so many things at such a young age, but he could also understand Cai Qixiang's feelings.
Since I asked the professional people, the time to learn these things every day is not very long, so forget it.
After all, nominally he is just the child's godfather, and he doesn't have much to say.
It doesn't look like this kid is a person who has been abused by learning, and his mental state is quite good, so he doesn't need to talk much.
The nominal godson, the actual son, someone can help him educate the child so hard and assist the child to become a talent, that is a good thing, and don't discourage the enthusiasm of others.
This kid is quite close to him, knowing that he is called godfather, he doesn't make trouble when he is hugged, and he looks very happy with a smile.
It's just that this kid probably doesn't understand what his godfather means, so he purely learns Cai Qixiang's words.
Cai Qixiang was very happy to see that his grandson was very close to Yan Xin, and said with emotion:
"This kid knows you're his relative at such a young age......"
Yan Xin's heart jumped when he said this, thinking: "He can't see it, right?" ”
But looking at the old man's expression, it didn't look like he could see it.
said with a smile: "After all, he was born not long after he was born, and it is normal for him to be close to me." ”
Cai Qixiang was very satisfied: "I will not be there in the future, and your godfather will cover him, then I will be relieved." ”
"It's not just me, his aunt will cover him too." Yan Xin said.
The child's aunt is, of course, Cai Qixiang's illegitimate daughter Alili.
Yan Xin just relied on the title of "godfather", but he was not qualified to be selected by Cai Qixiang as a person to support orphans.
The most important reason is that he is Arily's man, and Ellilie is the child's aunt.
What kind of thoughts Alili has in her heart about Cai Qixiang, Cai Qixiang is not clear, at least it seems that she has always played the role of a filial daughter, so he believes that Alili will take care of this child in the future.
In recent years, he has promoted Alili to enter the core of Fengxiang Group, and some time ago he pushed her to the position of president of the group, which is also the reason.
It's not just because of Arily's business skills.
In this world, business capabilities are important, but not so important.
Yan Xin still has such a sense of guilt for this illegitimate child, as the child's biological father, he can't admit his identity, and he has less time to see this child.
Neither fame nor companionship can be given to this child.
The closer the child seemed to be to him, the more guilty he felt.
When I look at this child, I can't help but have more love.
Cai Qixiang didn't know that this child was actually Yan Xin's species, he only felt that he liked this godson, and he was very happy in his heart.
and Yan Xin not only chatted about the story of this child's growth, but also asked about the child he was born last year, and asked when he would bring that child over to have a look.
Last year, Yan Xin put a full moon wine for his son in his hometown, and Cai Qixiang did not go over, but he also asked Alili to give him a valuable gift.
The old man hopes that the two children can become friends, so that it will be stable to keep this piece of wealth in the future.
Now that the scale of Fengxiang Group is getting bigger and bigger, and the wealth he has is getting more and more, his mind about keeping this piece of business is getting heavier and heavier.
Wealth brings joy, but it also brings stress.
At noon that day, Yan Xin was eating here, and Alili also came over.
She doesn't usually come over, but now Yan Xin is here, and she is also in this city, but it's a little unreasonable.
The lunch meal was made by Ai Jing, and she was here, as if she was the hostess, but she was not recognized by Cai Qixiang.
This is also a thing that Alili feels very ashamed of for her mother - she knows that Cai Qixiang can't give her mother any name, but her mother has always dreamed of being the chairman's wife.
What Cai Qixiang wants is to give all his property to Cai Kun, his grandson, of course, it is impossible to give Ai Jing a name, and when he dies, there will not be much inheritance that can fall to his grandson.
At this point, it is impossible for Ai Jing to become the chairman's wife.
Her status here is similar to that of a housekeeper.
Even if she has to receive important guests at home, she is not suitable to come forward.
That is, Alili and Yan Xin are their own people, so she will also come forward and be able to eat at the same table.
Ai Jing herself feels that her status in this family is very high, but in fact she has no status.
She can also only show superiority in front of a few nannies.
I can't feel it, but in the eyes of others, it's a bit of a clown.
This is also the main reason why Ellilie is reluctant to come over - she doesn't want to see her own mother so embarrassed.
She also persuaded her mother, telling her that it was impossible to have a name in Cai Qixiang, but her mother didn't listen to it at all, and always felt that there were no competitors now, and the position of the chairman's wife belonged to her.
There is no name now, and there will always be in the future.
Maybe the identity of "Mrs. Chairman" is what she has always dreamed of, and it has become her obsession.
Now that she saw that the position was vacant, she pounced.
was originally a very shrewd person, but when he encountered such a temptation, he couldn't understand it.
Alily persuaded several times but didn't see any effect, so she could only give up, and all she could do was to be out of sight.
She came over for lunch this time, and she didn't communicate much with her mother, either to report to Cai Qixiang about the work matter, or to say a few words to Yan Xin, or to tease the child.
She has a lot of dissatisfaction with Cai Yue, her half-brother, and thinks that he is a brute, but this disgust has not been transferred to the child, and it is better for the child.
However, the reason why she is good to the child is not because of blood relationship, but because she has a good relationship with Shu Yi, she is a good friend, Shu Yi's son, of course she will treat it well.
After all, Feng Xila's group of "loving each other's family" also has Shu Yi.
When they were eating, they also mentioned Shu Yi, who is now studying with her daughter in Europe, Cai Qixiang snorted and said:
"The quality of education in our country is not bad, and she got her daughter to study abroad, obviously because she wanted to go out and go to the waves, using her daughter as a pretense. But it's okay to save her from staying in the country and bringing Xiao Kun to ruin. ”
He didn't know that Shu Yi went abroad for fear of his retaliation.
He always felt that his son's death was due to drug overdose hallucinations before he jumped off the building to commit suicide, and he never suspected his daughter-in-law, so naturally he didn't think about it in that direction.
Of course, Yan Xin will not help him correct this matter, and it is not good to follow him to slander his own woman, so he can only analyze it from another angle:
"Maybe she thinks that the domestic college entrance examination is too much, so she will find a way to get a foreign nationality for Little Mango first, and then come to China to study as a foreign student, maybe she can go to a top university in China."
"Can I still do that?" Cai Qixiang was stunned for a moment.
"It's all an industry." Arily said beside her.
Cai Qixiang thought thoughtfully: "Then you say, should I get Xiao Kun to study abroad and give him a foreign nationality?" ”
"This is not necessary," Yan Xin said with a smile, "Xiao Kun's future is to become the helmsman of Fengxiang Group, and he doesn't need a diploma from a prestigious university to prove himself." ”
"But there are still great benefits to being able to go to a prestigious university, and those outstanding alumni are already a huge asset." Cai Qixiang said.
"Although there are benefits, it is not worth leaving him at such a young age." Yan Xin said.
This is his son, and he doesn't want his child to go abroad for education since he was a child, and he can't come back with a bad problem of studying.
Moreover, this child is likely to take over the Fengxiang Group in the future, and he will receive foreign education when he is a child, and he will inevitably be unaccustomed to the soil and water after he comes back, and he may not be able to be the helmsman well.
After saying this, he smiled again and said:
"I think he's quite smart, he can memorize ancient poems at such a young age, such a smart child, I think he can be admitted to a prestigious university by his own ability, and he doesn't need to borrow the identity of a foreign student."
Cai Qixiang likes to listen to this, and he also feels that he has come to train this child well and invited him to the best personal training resources, and there is no reason why he can't cultivate an elite talent.
nodded and said: "You have a point, I'm just worried that if I can't get into a prestigious university, it would be better to have one more way out." ”
"There's no need to worry about this," Alili said, "If you really can't get into a famous university in China, you can also go to a famous university abroad, anyway, there is no need for a college entrance examination over there, spend a little more money, ask a few weighty people to write a letter of recommendation, and you can get in." ”
"And such an operation?" This involves Cai Qixiang's knowledge blind spot.
When his son Cai Yue was still studying, he didn't have that kind of economic strength, and he didn't pay attention to this aspect.
The grandson is only two and a half years old now, and he is more concerned with the preschool education of young children and does not know these things.
Alili has studied abroad for several years, and Shu Yi and Gu Ru have studied this aspect and talked to her, so they are more familiar.
She said to Cai Qixiang: "This has also become an industrial chain, a friend of mine is doing this, as long as the money is enough, you can help find someone to write a letter of recommendation, help to brush up on various social points for your child, there are many famous universities to choose from, you don't have to worry about him not being able to study in a famous university in the future." ”
The friend she was talking about was Gu Ru.
Gu Ru has friends who do such a business.
As long as you have enough money, anything can be done.
And Cai Qixiang has nothing else now, but the money is enough.
Hearing her say this, Cai Qixiang was also relieved.
If his academic performance is good and there is no problem with the college entrance examination, he will be allowed to study in China.
If your academic performance is not good, you can consider studying at a prestigious university abroad in high school.
It's not a last resort, and he doesn't want his grandson to be sent abroad to study at a young age.
If you really want to be sent abroad to study at a young age, unless he also goes abroad to accompany him, otherwise the relationship between the grandfather and grandson will fade, and Shu Yi may take advantage of it, then the current efforts will be in vain.
But he didn't really want to go abroad.
There are alternatives, of course the best.
Fortunately, he is a rich man and can make many choices, unlike those poor children, who have no other choice than to study hard.
