Xu Dong felt that Cheng Yu's description was a bit exaggerated, but he generally agreed with it.
Privately, he was also puzzled that Cheng Guangnian refused to let Cheng Yu join the company, but wanted him to stay in the United States to continue his studies.
Studying is of course important, and being a graduate student under a famous expert like Professor Rogers is indeed what 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 hundreds of billions, and is the only heir to Cheng Guangnian.
Graduating from a top school like the University of Southern California with excellent results is enough in itself. For the rest, in Xu Dong's opinion, Cheng Yu should be allowed to enter the company and spend three to five years entering different companies.
departments, participate in different projects, and understand the overall operations 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 will be able to take over.
The normal way of thinking is this, but Cheng Guangnian obviously has no intention of doing this, and judging from his training of other heirs of the Cheng family, there is always a feeling that he wants to hand over the Cheng Group to others.
Of course, Xu Dong is just pondering these things in his own mind and will not show them anywhere, let alone talk to anyone.
If Cheng Yu hadn't mentioned this today, Xu Dong still wouldn't have thought of this.
Both father and son are very stubborn, but the main problem seems to be the father. After all, his father's behavior is already contrary to ethics.
After Cheng Yu said these words, Xu Dong fell silent.
He was really speechless, which was why he couldn't find a suitable reason to kidnap Cheng Yu all the way here.
Is it possible that you want me to use force with the prince?
Even if there is a huge rift between them, they are still father and son. Xu Dong knows very well that except for the matter of the Cheng Group, Cheng Guangnian is actually very concerned about Cheng Yu.
It's just that Cheng Guangnian is used to hiding his concern deep down, making it difficult for many people to see it clearly, including Cheng Yu himself.
But Xu Dong is Cheng Guangnian's assistant and the closest person in the company. No one but Xu Dong can see many of his private states.
Therefore, Xu Dong still knew that Cheng Guangnian had 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 dad for so long. Even if you can't do what he asked for today, he won't embarrass you too much, right?"
?”
Xu Dong raised his head and said with difficulty: "It's hard to say."
Three words, but profound meaning.
Cheng Yu shook his head and said: "I still can't figure out why he asked me to go to Dabie Mountain Residence when he asked me to have dinner. Even if he has something to say and it's not convenient for him to be at home, can't we just talk on the phone directly? There's no need.
We have to meet. Besides, if you really don’t want others to know, I shouldn’t let you come to me. What can he do if he goes alone? He’s not really the emperor. Is it possible that he doesn’t dare to leave the palace easily? "
Xu Dong thought about it for a while and said, "Let me call Dabie Mountain Residence and ask."
After saying that, Xu Dong picked up his cell phone and called Dabie Mountain Residence.
"Hello, I am Xu Dong."
As soon as the person on the other end heard this, he immediately understood who was on the other side of the phone and said quickly: "Oh, hello, Mr. Xu, do you want to book a private room?"
When Xu Dong heard this, he frowned.
Cheng Guangnian didn’t make a reservation?
If Cheng Guangnian has a reservation, shouldn't the other party think that Xu Dong is here to verify the reservation information?
He said calmly: "Didn't Mr. Cheng book a private room today? He asked me to confirm the booking information. Did he forget it?"
The person on the other side was startled and said quickly: "Mr. Xu, don't worry. I'll check. Maybe I didn't answer the reservation call. Maybe someone else answered the call but didn't have time to confirm the reservation information with me."
Xu Dong hummed, and the other party quickly started to inquire.
After a while, the other party said: "Mr. Xu, I asked, but no one has received the reservation call from Director Cheng. Moreover, our place is all booked tonight. Is someone else inviting Director Cheng to dinner, so..."
Xu Dong was a little strange and thought to himself: Could it be that Director Cheng had changed his mind and planned to push his son to the forefront? So someone else invited him to dinner, so he must bring Cheng Yu with him?
But if this is the case, Cheng Guangnian can tell it directly, there is no need to hide it.
Just as he was thinking about it, the other party let out an oops and said, "I saw Dong Du's reservation information, saying it was for five people, and the note mentioned that Dong Dong was here and asked us to prepare Dong Dong's favorite soup."
Xu Dong understood. It seemed that this was a private appointment between the Cheng and Du families, and it was for Cheng Yu to formally pay a visit to his future father-in-law and mother-in-law.
"Okay, I didn't ask clearly. Director Cheng mentioned it to me. I thought it was a private room booked by Director Cheng himself."
"Ouch, I was scared to death. I thought there was something wrong in our work. If Director Cheng wanted to book a private room but couldn't, that would be terrible."
Xu Dong smiled and said: "Well, it's my fault. It's okay. Mrs. Du likes your whitebait stewed eggs the most. Remember to prepare it."
"No problem, no problem."
After hanging up the phone, Xu Dong said: "The place was not booked by Director Cheng, but by Director Du. Five people... hmm? Why are there five people?"
This is indeed very strange. Logically speaking, since it is the Cheng and Du families who are dining, there should be six people.
If Cheng Yu goes to meet his mother-in-law-to-be, there is no reason not to let Du Xiaoyu show up.
Cheng Yu was also stunned: "You mean Du Changfeng?"
Xu Dong nodded, and Cheng Yu said again: "Five people? Is it because my mother doesn't want to go?"
Cheng Yu thought that since it was Du Changfeng who made the reservation, both he and Wei Lan would definitely go.
Moreover, Wei Lan is a full-time housewife. Even if something really happens, in order to officially meet her future son-in-law for the first time, she will definitely put aside those affairs with her three aunts and six wives.
As one of the protagonists, it is impossible for Du Xiaoyu not to appear, so she would rather not go.
But that's not right. Ning Kezhu shouldn't be that busy. After all, she even made a special trip to Cheng Yu's house at noon. If she was so busy that she couldn't even go to the official meeting about the marriage, where would there be time at noon?
Xu Dong seemed to have been given an explanation and said: "It seems that this is the only possibility."
Cheng Yu frowned again. If this was the case, Du Xiaoyu must have been asked to participate. Then based on 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 cafe, the phone was connected.
"Ouch, who is it?" Du Xiaoyu obviously didn't even look at his phone and chose to answer the call.
"I'm Cheng Yu, don't tell me you're still asleep!"
"I just woke up. Let me tell you, you went back last night and my mother interrogated me for half the night. I drank too much and fell asleep at dawn. Can I not sleep until now?"
Cheng Yu frowned and said, "Look, did your parents call you but you didn't answer the phone, or did they leave you a message?"
After that, he hung up the phone.
Du Xiaoyu was very surprised. He looked at his cell phone for a long time and didn't see any missed calls.
And, she heard movement coming from the living room.
