Wu An quickly forced out Li Yuhua's businesslike smile.
Then, the two of them waited for the elevator together in silence.
We got into the elevator together.
Stand around and wait for the elevator door to close.
Maybe the phone in the elevator was not working properly, Li Yuhua's father hung up the phone on his own initiative. When the elevator door closed, the small space became quiet.
At this moment, Wu An suddenly came up with a seemingly good idea.
Then, press the buttons for floors 2 to 45 in the elevator.
"What are you doing?" Li Yuhua's father frowned.
"Uncle... Dad, didn't you say you wanted to come over and talk? Let's talk in the elevator." Wu An stood facing him, imitating Li Yuhua's usual polite demeanor.
"Why in the elevator?"
Wu An: "This way there won't be any interference from phone calls."
"..."
#13 Give me your life plan
Wu An’s outrageous behavior made Li Shangyan’s eyes twitch.
It had only been a few days, but he already couldn't understand his own daughter.
Before, although Li Yuhua had a very cold relationship with him, she would not resist his decisions violently.
Even if Li Yuhua wanted to resist, she would usually just give him the cold shoulder.
The reason why she didn't go to the international class of No. 2 Middle School from the beginning of high school was also the result of the cold war. She said she didn't want to go, so she didn't even go to school.
After a while, Li Shangyan weighed the pros and cons and agreed to let her study at Changhong No. 1 High School.
It's better to learn something than to be upset at home.
That was his consideration.
If Li Shangyan had been tougher, Li Yuhua would not be studying at Changhong No. 1 High School now.
However, there is a bottom line for Li Yuhua to study at Changhong No. 1 High School. The bottom line is that when she reaches the third year of high school, she must study in the international class and then study abroad.
Therefore, Li Shangyan's attitude this time was very tough.
But unexpectedly, the response he got was also very tough.
Not only did he run away from home, he even asked the school to help prevent him from transferring.
Even in this negotiation, she had her own ideas.
He is not allowed to use the phone in the elevator?
It was a surprise move, and if it was a negotiation, it might put him in a disadvantageous position as he was not prepared.
After a brief surprise, Li Shangyan actually felt somewhat relieved.
I have an idea. His daughter, at least, is not the naive and innocent image that people have in mind.
Let’s start talking.
"I've read yesterday's proposal," Li Shangyan said first.
"It's feasible." He paused, "But I have my own requirements."
"You have to give me your future life plan first. I want to see how you are going to pursue your goals." He said calmly, and there was a pressure in his words that made Wu An breathless.
"Then, separate your ideals from what you must do. You will definitely inherit the company, so you can pursue your ideals, but you must also learn management knowledge."
After saying this, he looked at Wu An calmly.
Just by looking at it, there is an invisible pressure.
This man agreed to their request in principle at the beginning, and then skillfully put forward the conditions.
Wu An knew that he would make conditions.
However, Wu An felt that Li Yuhua would not accept the conditions.
Pursuing your ideals is a wholehearted matter.
Even if she had to accept some conditions, they should not affect Li Yuhua's ideals.
Wu An was ready to negotiate with him, but when he faced him, he was speechless for a moment.
Take a deep breath, and at this moment, the elevator door closed again.
“Can’t you let me devote all my energy to one thing?” He smiled and said, “If I fail in doing what I want to do, I will also devote all my energy to inheriting the company.”
——This is the result Li Yuhua most hopes for.
"No." Li Shangyan refused, "It will be too late by then."
"It won't be too late, I still have a lot of time, Dad, and you should have a lot of time too." Wu An looked straight into his eyes.
"I want you to manage the company as soon as possible. This is what you should do." He said as if he was giving an order.
The elevator reached another floor and separated.
Then close it again.
From Wu An's perspective, Li Shangyan's commanding tone made him feel disgusted.
Anyway, we are here to negotiate, and being polite will not get any results.
Emotions need to be vented when it is time to do so.
Vent emotions on behalf of Li Yuhua.
"So, why should I take over the company as soon as possible? Is there no other suitable candidate besides me?" You shouldn't pretend anymore. Just say whatever you want to say. But Wu An always keeps smiling. This is Li Yuhua's reserve.
Wu An's questioning made Li Shangyan's breathing quicken.
Maybe it touched upon the contradiction in his heart.
Why must Li Yuhua take over the company?
From a manager's perspective, what his daughter said at this time was very correct.
It doesn't have to be her.
The elevator door opened and there was silence.
When the iron door was closing, the sound of it knocking on the door struck the reason for his deep persistence in his heart.
"Because you are my daughter."
Everything she has now will be hers, but in return, she should also inherit his mantle.
"If possible, can I not have these things from you?" Wu An said coldly, "You shouldn't use these high-sounding reasons to force your wishes on me. You are not qualified."
"I'm not your tool." Wu An said word by word.
That’s right, Li Yuhua is not his tool!
Then a long list of questions began: "You need someone who can manage your business, why me?"
"If you treat me as your daughter, have you ever really cared about my feelings?"
"Do you know what a good father should do?"
"Until I saw my friend's father love her and support her, what did you feel?"
"I thought you would say you love me, so you want to give me everything you have."
"But I found that you didn't even think so. I suspect that you even feel that the relationship between you and me as father and daughter is even a burden to you."
"So, what do you want?"
"..."
Li Shangyan clenched his fists.
Take a deep breath and look at "that Li Yuhua" in front of you.
That string of questions seemed to pierce through his thoughts.
He never thought about these questions - maybe he was just too busy.
But he never thought that Li Yuhua would question him like this.
The elevator was still going up, and the door opened and closed, closed and opened again.
I don’t know how many floors I passed.
He slowly calmed down.
It seemed like this was the first time in all these years that he thought about the question "Why should Li Yuhua take over the company?" Before that, in his opinion, letting Li Yuhua take over the company did not require a reason and was a matter of course.
After Wu An asked these questions.
He actually had the answer.
His clenched fists relaxed, and he suddenly smiled and shook his head.
Then he looked into "the eyes of Li Yuhua" and said, "Yuhua, I remember now."
"All of these things of mine will be yours in the future. I just hope you learn how to use them."
"..." This was perhaps one of his rare sincere answers, which left Wu An speechless for a moment.
Maybe... he was right.
Wu An smiled—not the fake smile from before.
I felt a little relieved for Li Yuhua.
——At least, her father still loves her.
If Li Yuhua were standing here, she would still think so, right?
You may even feel guilty about his gift.
However, ideals still need to be pursued.
