Chapter 607 Guilt towards Mother

Chapter 607 Guilt towards Mother

"Uncle Zhang, I'm sorry to ask you to come to our company so late."

Late at night, Chen Xi stood at the factory gate and introduced Xunjie Company to Zhang Yuandong.

"It's okay. It was during the meeting today that your father looked unhappy. His leader arranged for him to cooperate with the Xu family on the Tomorrow Square project. I heard from others that this project is known as the graveyard of Xinlu bosses. I don't know if it's true or not." Although Zhang Yuandong was exhausted, he still pretended to be relaxed.

"Haha, that's pretty accurate. Several of my classmates' families failed because of this project, and they used to be big bosses." Chen Xi laughed after hearing this.

"Xiaoyang told me something just now. I think he has grown a lot by playing with you. He was not interested in talking about business with me before, but now he takes the initiative to talk to me about business." Zhang Yuandong looked pleased.

"I wasn't interested in business when I was a kid. To be honest, most kids like me aren't interested in money and do things based on our own preferences. The businesses of our parents may seem dispensable to the next generation, and they want to start their own business and prove their abilities."

"Well, I didn't think about this before. I always felt that my son must inherit the kingdom I worked so hard to build, and I didn't care about his opinion."

"In fact, Zhang Yang didn't say that he wasn't interested in Su Ning's retail industry. We just need to let him do what he's interested in first. When he hits a wall, he will naturally come back to take over the company."

"Makes sense."

"When I was a kid, I loved playing games. My mom never scolded me. She just let me play until I vomited. Then I didn't want to play anymore. If it were another parent, he would probably stop his child from playing games. Children have a rebellious mentality. The more you stop them from playing, the more they want to play. This may backfire."

"Haha, I didn't expect that you are an educator at such a young age!" Zhang Yuandong couldn't help laughing when he saw Chen Xi's old-fashioned appearance.

"Oh, I have been living abroad for many years, and my parents didn't care about me since I was a child. I saw those international students who were previously strictly controlled by their parents, all let themselves go after going abroad, and many of them even started taking drugs..." Chen Xi recalled the international students he had seen. One of them was a primary school classmate who was very pretty. She was originally a very good girl, but she got addicted to drugs after going abroad. The most important thing was that she was an artist.

"What does your company want to do? I just heard you talk about exchanging old for new. This time the leader of Xinlu asked me here because he wants me to cooperate with local electrical appliance manufacturers." Zhang Yuandong got to the point.

"Since the higher authorities have issued this policy, we have to respond to it. As for how to deal with the products obtained through the trade-in program, most of them are now recycled. The cost of materials used in previous home appliances was very high, and of course, the materials were also very good.

Let me say something unpleasant about the electrical appliances of the future. They will break down whenever you want them to. After all, electrical appliance manufacturers also need to survive. If they focus too much on product lifespan, they may go bankrupt.

Our company used to be mainly engaged in the research of electrical components. Although it has been closed for so many years, our technicians have not given up. Now, we have come up with new products. I will take you, Uncle Zhang, to have a look..." Chen Xi pointed to Fang Shiyu and other workers who were busy not far away.

In fact, these people were about to get off work at this time, but Chen Xi notified them to work overtime just to perform well in front of Zhang Yuandong.

"Your father is quite capable. I am considered wealthy in Qinhuai City. Compared with him, the money I have... I heard that your father's family was very poor before, and he has suffered a lot to get to where he is now..." Zhang Yuandong said as he took out a piece of paper from his arms. It was torn from a magazine and contained a profile of Chen Yifeng.

Chen Xi took it and looked at it and couldn't help laughing: "Celebrities are like this, aren't they? They often tell me how poor they were when they were young, and how they got to where they are now because of how hard they worked and how smart they were, but they never mention the key part. This piece of paper doesn't mention that he cried and swore at my grandfather's grave to get the start-up capital..."

"Hahaha, I was thinking, at the meeting today, the leader said that he would focus on supporting the home appliance industry. He gave you this company, will you regret it later?" Zhang Yuandong said with a smile.

"No, that won't happen. When he gave it to me, it was just an empty shell and it owed the workers wages. Even if the leader gave the order today, he would not do this business." Chen Xi shook his head.

Chen Yifeng now simply looks down on this business.

"Hey, the boss is here. Let me demonstrate my scientific research results to you." Fang Shiyu put down his tools, wiped his hands and walked over.

The factory is brightly lit, heralding a bright future. In the near future, Xunjie Company will usher in a glorious transformation and rebirth, and shine even brighter.

Inside a high-end Western restaurant in Xinlu.

"Fang Yuan, aren't you doing well abroad? Why did you come back? By the way, did you give birth to a son or a daughter?" Chen Caiyue asked a handsome middle-aged man in front of her while drinking.

"I'm not married yet. Do you want me to find a black man in a hellhole like South Africa?" The middle-aged man deliberately made a bitter face, which made Chen Caiyue laugh.

"Time flies by so fast and we are all old. Looking back at the time when we were in school, we didn't have so many worries. When we were young, we all wanted to grow up quickly and become adults. Now that we are really adults, we want to go back to the past and live a carefree life. People are really interesting creatures." Chen Caiyue shook the wine glass with flushed cheeks.

"You're not old. Caiyue, it's not an exaggeration to say that you're a girl in your twenties."

"You are still the same as before, knowing how to make girls happy. By the way, I heard that you are now a wealthy businessman in South Africa and have inherited your family's jewelry business. What do you want to do now that you have returned to China?" Chen Caiyue pointed at the other party.

"I've actually been traveling back and forth. I have jewelry stores in China and Hong Kong. Just think about it, the business I do in South Africa must be marketable... By the way, you and Chen Yifeng are..."

"Let's not mention this, it's unlucky!" Chen Caiyue waved her hand.

"The last time I saw your son in Hong Kong was when he was running for vice president of the Overseas Chinese Association."

"Oh? This kid didn't tell me anything about the association. Come and tell me about it. Let's see how my son performs..." Upon hearing Chen Xi's name, Chen Caiyue also became interested.

At ten o'clock in the evening, Chen Xi drove back to the villa with the three girls.

As soon as I arrived at the door, I found a black car parked there.

"Fang Yuan, I'm going back. See you next time!"

"Wait, Caiyue, I have something to say."

The drunk Chen Caiyue smiled and waved at the man, but the other party grabbed her arm.

At this time, Chen Xi also got out of the car. He was very unhappy to see a man in close contact with his mother.

But when he saw the man's face, he was slightly stunned again.

This man was Chen Caiyue's former suitor, Chen Yifeng's competitor, and also the one favored by Chen Xi's grandfather.

In terms of family conditions, she can be considered a good match for Chen Caiyue, and her appearance is far better than Chen Yifeng. As for her character, he doesn't know much about her, but he heard from his grandmother Jing Li that she is not bad.

In fact, Chen Xi has always felt a little guilty in his heart. That is because in his previous life, his mother was pursued by many men. Although life was not easy at that time, the young and energetic Chen Xi still felt that he could help his mother live a good life.

As a son, to be honest, if my mother finds another man to marry, I would feel a little uncomfortable. In fact, it is just a bit selfish.

After returning to China in his previous life, he gave his mother a lot of money, but it was all defrauded. Chen Xi also felt a little regretful. Money was not enough to make his mother live a good life. When encountering some things, the elders were unwilling to listen to what he, as a son, said, especially the elderly. Then he needed someone of the same age as his mother to look after her.

There were many men who came to see Chen Caiyue before, but without exception, Chen Xi didn't like any of them. Whenever Chen Caiyue asked him how someone made him feel, Chen Xi would find some reasons to belittle others. Over time, Chen Caiyue stopped looking for anyone.

Chen Caiyue is different from Chen Yifeng. Even if she wants to remarry, she will ask her son's opinion. She is not as arbitrary as Chen Yifeng.

Alas, I owed my mother in my last life. I hope she can find a good man in this life.

"Hey, son, you're back. Fang Yuan, let's talk about it next time." Chen Caiyue saw her son coming, so she wanted Fang Yuan to leave.

Fang Yuan swallowed back the words he wanted to say.

"Uncle Fang, come in and have a seat." Chen Xi invited generously.

"This……"

"We're already at the doorstep. If we don't go in and have some tea, people will think we don't know etiquette." Chen Xi extended the invitation again.

"Okay." Fang Yuan actually didn't want to leave, so he hesitated for a moment and then nodded in agreement.

After entering the house, several people sat on the sofa, while the three women were busy cutting fruit and making tea.

"Uncle Fang and my mother must be old acquaintances."

"Son, it's not what you think."

As soon as Chen Xi opened his mouth, he saw Chen Caiyue wanted to explain.

"That's right, your mother and I were classmates. I pursued her before, but Caiyue didn't like me, hahaha." Fang Yuan laughed without hesitation.

It can be seen that this person and his father Chen Yifeng are two completely different people. One likes to hide things, while the other likes to admit it boldly.

"Well, my mom didn't have good vision and chose the wrong person. No, it should be said that my grandpa died early, and Chen Yifeng took advantage of the situation and abducted him. You also know that my mom is a simple person, which means she is easy to deceive!"

"No, no, no, you misunderstood me. I didn't mean to lie to your mother." Fang Yuan hurriedly explained.

"Xixi, what nonsense are you talking about. There is nothing between your Uncle Fang and me, we are just old classmates." Chen Caiyue scolded her son with a red face, not knowing whether she was drunk or embarrassed.

"Uncle Fang, don't think too much. That's not what I meant. My mother just got divorced, and there are a lot of people around her who want to take her property, like the guy I met at Huajing Roast Duck Restaurant before..." Chen Xi thought about it and couldn't remember the man's name.

"Haha, you can rest assured about this. If Caiyue and I are together, all my property can be transferred to her name..." Fang Yuan laughed and made a swearing gesture.

"Fang Yuan, what nonsense are you talking about? Xixi is young and is fooling around. Are you drunk too?" Chen Caiyue was about to go crazy at this moment.

"Hahaha, Mom, you've had too much to drink. Why don't you go upstairs and have a rest? I'll chat with Uncle Fang for a while."

"Do you think I can sleep with you guys like this?" Chen Caiyue glared at her son.

At this time, tea and fruit were brought up by the three women, and they began to chat happily.

In a residential area in the center of Xinlu City.

"I'm so angry. What is Qin Feilong doing? Why doesn't Wu Wanrong stop him? He is just fooling around. There are so many projects in the city, but he has to throw this mess to me. The same goes for the Xu family. A outsider who knows nothing at all and only knows how to flatter the boss!" After returning home, Chen Yifeng angrily threw his briefcase away, sat on the sofa, and cursed.

"Yifeng, what's going on? Are you having troubles at work?" Zhang Xuan brought out a cup of Maofeng tea from the kitchen.

"What else could it be? It's just the Xu family, and that damned Shi Danai and Yang Dingtian. They thought they could find someone in real estate to mess with me. Humph."

"If you have any problem, you can tell me. Maybe I can help you." Zhang Xuan leaned gently on Chen Yifeng's shoulder.

"You? Oh, yes, your father works for a newspaper. Ask him to publish an article tomorrow. The title is..."

Chen Yifeng looked at Zhang Xuan and suddenly thought of a good idea.

Hilton Hotel.

"Mr. Xu, it's so late, why did you call a group of reporters here?" Yang Dingtian looked at the Xu family in confusion.

"Do you think that Chen Yifeng will be obedient and cooperate after the leader holds a meeting today?
If I don't give him some strength, he will probably regret it tomorrow.

I'm not familiar with him, but I heard from others that this guy's words are no different from farts. He promised you something today, but tomorrow he can find an excuse to say that he never said it. "Xu Jia stood in front of the French window with a cigar in his mouth, admiring the night view outside.

"So you...want to use the newspaper to let others know that you two are going to cooperate, so that Chen Yifeng can't regret it. Otherwise, it will tell everyone in the city that I don't take the leader seriously."

"Pa pa." Yang Dingtian understood instantly and clapped his hands vigorously.

"Yes, that's right, that's it." Xu Jia glanced at the other party with shrewdness.

"It's high, really high! But this project itself has big problems. Why do you want to get involved in this mess?" Yang Dingtian really couldn't figure out this problem.

"Even if this project is successful, it will definitely not make money. This time Qin Feilong asked Chen Yifeng to join. With Chen Yifeng's stingy personality, he naturally doesn't want to suffer alone, and will definitely call his helpers. These people, when they get together, they smile when there is money to be made, and they are ashamed when there is no money to be made. Since we can't defeat his alliance, let his alliance disintegrate on its own..."

Xu Jia held a cigar lightly in one hand, with smoke swirling as he puffed.

The other hand was confidently placed on the waist, and he stood tall in front of the spacious floor-to-ceiling window. His eyes were deep and sharp, revealing an air of looking down on the world, as if the whole world was in his sight.

There is a certain momentum of commanding the country. (End of this chapter)
