When Cheng Yu heard this, he nodded very carefully.
Indeed, since Cheng Fu had a good relationship with Cheng Guangle, Cheng Fu should not have acted so indifferently when Cheng Guangle and Cheng Yi were both exiled.
But in this case, isn't it true that Master Cheng is telling others that he is actually "satisfying his courage"?
If Cheng Fu is a very wealthy person and has always wanted Cheng Guangnian's business empire, then he should not behave like this after such a big thing happened in his family.
Cheng Yu didn't have time to think about it, and he didn't want to think about it more specifically.
But at least, showing an attitude of breaking with his father and brother is obviously not a good decision.
If that's true, this Cheng Fu doesn't seem to be as dangerous as Du Changfeng said.
The key is that Cheng Yu has always had a big idea in his heart, that is, no matter what Cheng Guangnian thinks, why he is unwilling to let his only biological son inherit his group, but he is definitely not the kind of person who would choose his two younger brothers.
The person who inherits through heirs.
Less than half a year ago, Cheng Guangnian was still ambitiously trying to annex the Du Group. It was hard for Cheng Yu to imagine that any major changes would happen to an ambitious man like Cheng Guangnian.
He hesitated, tested, and said: "Dad, you said it, Master Cheng's behavior is indeed strange. But if he is really as you said, the city is very deep, and he will never be willing to let the three of them be expelled."
Since he is the core management of the Cheng Group, wouldn't it be easier for Lao Cheng to feel wary if he now shows a clear line between himself and his father and brother who made mistakes? "
Du Changfeng nodded and said: "This is something I can't quite figure out. But I have also thought about it carefully. The situation Cheng Fu is facing is a dilemma. Maybe he is young after all and can't find any better way to let him go."
Your father should be less defensive.
Or maybe he is confident and doesn't worry about your father being wary of him at all.
Anyway, Guangnian seems to be on guard against everyone. Since it is impossible to win his trust, it doesn't really matter what you do.
But at least, other shareholders of the Cheng Group must see that he, Guangle and Cheng Yi are not walking on the same path.
No matter who it was, what Guang Le and Cheng Yi did would be deeply disgusted.
The two of them simply ignored the Cheng Group's losses and wanted to line their own pockets. They were driven away. This is not only the intention of your father, but also represents the intention of almost all shareholders."
In fact, Cheng Yu still felt that these could not explain Cheng Fu's behavior, but as Du Changfeng said, these were not that important.
The important thing is that since Cheng Fu is a very calculating person, it is impossible for him to do nothing.
Even if it is to help his father and brother seek certain benefits, he will definitely do something.
It seems that this person really needs to be on guard.
"Okay, you don't have to take it too seriously, these are just our guesses after all.
What I tell you is just a judgment based on some phenomena, and I hope you will be vigilant.
We are old, so I can't make any assumptions about your father's thoughts, but sooner or later the Du Group will be left to Xiao Yu and you.
Xiaoyu, remember, stick to your heart and don't let some side effects affect your normal judgment.
To put it bluntly, without those of the Cheng Group, wouldn’t the assets in my name, Lao Du, be enough for you and Xiaoyu Xiaoyao to last several lifetimes?
When you returned to China last year, you never tried to join the Cheng Group, but chose to start your own business.
In less than a year, the results have been outstanding, and no matter how picky you are, you can’t find any faults. This is good.
Even without the Du Group, I believe you can still make Xiao Yu live a good life.
Everything else is, after all, external.
Just in case, I mean just in case, just in case something big happens one day and something happens.
I also hope that you will not be dazzled by those problems and can move forward on your established track."
Cheng Yu scratched his head and chuckled. The laughter was very dry. These words of Du Changfeng were very strange.
"Dad, you don't think Master Cheng can really defeat Lao Cheng and snatch the Cheng Group away from him, do you? Lao Cheng has been in the business world for so many years, but in your eyes is Co-author so vulnerable?"
Du Changfeng waved his hand and sighed: "I said, just in case. Master Cheng is nothing compared to your father. But some things are, and the reason why they are called accidents is that they are beyond human control. Even if
It’s a match between the powerful Brazil and the Chinese team. You can’t say that there is no possibility that all the main players of the Brazilian team will get food poisoning just before the game, and all the players who can play will become soft-legged crabs and the Chinese team will eventually win the game.”
Cheng Yu pursed his lips. Du Changfeng had already made a gesture to end the conversation, and there seemed to be no need for him to continue to pester him.
"I'll pay attention."
Du Changfeng nodded, picked up the wine glass from the coffee table, shook it, drank it in one gulp, then leaned against the sofa and closed his eyes.
Seeing Du Changfeng gently pressing his forehead with his finger, Cheng Yu stood up and said softly: "Dad, I'm going out first. Do you want to call mom in?"
Du Changfeng nodded slightly, hummed, and Cheng Yu left the study.
After telling Wei Lan, Wei Lan still said before going to the study: "Can't you two live at home today? I had people clean it up before."
Du Xiaoyu smiled and said, "Who told you not to tell me earlier? Cheng Yu and I really have an appointment."
"Okay, it's late at night, you two, please be safe."
Seeing Wei Lan enter the study, Cheng Yucai and Du Xiaoyu nodded and left Du's house together.
Sitting in the car, Cheng Yu called a driver on his mobile phone.
It may have something to do with the New Year's Eve, and there were not many driver representatives. Although they finally responded, they were quite far away. After talking on the phone, they said it might take more than 20 minutes to arrive.
"What did my dad just tell you? He seemed very serious."
Du Xiaoyu asked.
"Tell me a rumor about our family."
"What rumors?"
"It's nothing. It's just about some financial problems when my father first started doing business."
Du Xiaoyu shook his head and said disdainfully: "Is it the so-called old house thing in your family?"
"You also know that it's co-authored."
Du Xiaoyu pouted and said, "In the entire circle, you are probably the only one who doesn't know."
"It's mainly about the circle you mentioned. In fact, I don't know a few people in total, and I don't have much contact with them. It's not convenient for them to gossip in front of me."
"That's true.
My dad is the same. There is really no need to tell you these things. In fact, everyone knows it. These so-called rumors are basically spread out deliberately by your second uncle and third uncle, just so that one day you can use these to get more shares from your dad.
.
It's completely unreasonable. Not to mention that he has denied that your father's business funds came from your family's old house. Even if it were true, who could take care of your grandfather's willingness to give it to him?
Why did my dad think of telling you this today?
Before you returned to China, I mentioned this matter to him, and he even scolded me a few words, saying not to spread such unfounded things.
What happened to him today?"
Cheng Yu laughed and said: "My father-in-law is kind-hearted. Master Cheng is back. He is worried that Master Cheng has some plans and wants to vaccinate me in advance. So he told me some old things about Old Cheng."
Du Xiaoyu rolled his eyes and said: "Cheng Fu? He is Cheng Yi's younger brother, right? What will happen if he comes back? He has a different personality from your second uncle and Cheng Yi. He is very reserved, not like your second uncle."
Uncle, unlike your second aunt, I don’t know who inherited it from you. If your second uncle’s family really needs someone who can succeed, it’s probably Master Cheng. But can he beat your father?”
Cheng Yu laughed loudly and said, "Isn't it true? I told my father-in-law the same thing."
Du Xiaoyu rolled his eyes again and said: "You are a father-in-law, and you are calling me affectionate. What's the matter, you finally want to attack me? Believe it or not, I will kill you with one kick?"
Cheng Yu slapped his forehead and said, "Aren't you used to having to call your parents all the time when you come home today? It's almost time. Let's move the car to the gate of the community. The driver will definitely not be able to get in."
Although it is definitely not allowed to drive after drinking, in the community, it is a helpless move, Cheng Yu still drove the car to the gate of the community.
As soon as I arrived at the gate, I saw a person on an electric scooter approaching. It was the driver.
Cheng Yu opened the door and got out of the car, waved to the man, and the man immediately glided over. He was a middle-aged man with slightly white temples.
"Hello, are you the owner of the car with the mobile phone number ending in xxxx?"
After jumping off the electric scooter, the man put the scooter away and asked.
Cheng Yu replied, leaned into the car and opened the trunk, then looked at Du Xiaoyu, who was motionless and just staring blankly at the front of the car, and motioned for her to get out of the car and sit in the back.
After Du Xiaoyu got out of the car, he glanced at the driver again, then walked around to the back seat, opened the door and got in.
The driver quickly put the folded electric scooter into the trunk, then got into the cab. After fastening his seat belt, he turned around and confirmed that Cheng Yu and Du Xiaoyu were already seated.
"Hello, you two, I am the driver who will provide driving service for you this time. My surname is Sun. Is our destination going to be Wudong Courtyard?"
"Yes."
"Then please fasten your seat belts, we are ready to go."
I watched the driver skillfully start the vehicle, then shift into gear, slowly step on the accelerator, and the car drove smoothly.
Du Xiaoyu said slightly strangely: "Are you very skilled? Have you driven this car before?"
The driver looked ahead and drove steadily while replying with a smile: "I'm lucky to have driven it twice. It's strange to say that since I became a driver, I seem to have a special affinity with luxury cars. I won't talk about BBA's mid- to high-end cars.
Well, I have also driven entry-level models of the Porsche 911 and Ferrari 488. All told, the only supercar brand I know of is probably McLaren. I didn’t know before that our Wudong supercar turned out to be
There are quite a few.”
After thinking for a while, he added an explanation: "Maybe it's because rich people like you often socialize and pay more attention to your own safety. Basically, even if you take a sip of wine, you will find a driver. I used to
I thought rich people wouldn’t take drunk driving seriously, but now I know that’s not the case at all.”
Du Xiaoyu laughed and said: "Are you so proud? Have you heard of Koenigsegg?"
"You must have heard of it. Although it is a relatively unpopular brand and its output is low, it can't stand up to other people's cars. The price of any car you drive is eight figures. I have actually driven this brand once, but that one time, a year
Go ahead quickly."
Du Xiaoyu glanced at Cheng Yu and said with a smile: "Then it can only be yours."
Cheng Yu touched his nose and thought to himself, can we not open the car and pick up the car? Can I sell my car long ago?
Poor.
The driver was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then looked at Cheng Yu carefully in the rearview mirror, and said cautiously: "It seems that this is really the gentleman. Is your home at the end of a small road next to the main road? It's extra large.
It took me close to ten minutes to drive in and get out of a yard."
Cheng Yu coughed twice and said, "That should probably really be me."
"Haha, you two are quite destined." Du Xiaoyu smiled again.
The driver was also happy and said: "That's true, Wudong has a population of more than eight million, and I have driven both of your luxury cars for you."
Cheng Yu felt very confused. If he had nothing to do, it would be fine to chat with the driver, but did Du Xiaoyu go too far?
"How much money can you make in a month as a driver?" Du Xiaoyu asked casually.
"It's hard to say, but I've been working for more than two years. On average, it's about seven to eight thousand a month."
"Have you ever thought about finding a more stable job? You work as chauffeurs, and you often travel in the wind and rain. And I see that many of you are waiting at the door of major hotels or bars, sleeping in the morning and dusk.
Isn’t it awesome?”
The driver sighed and said, "Isn't that true? But fortunately, the income is higher.
A person like me needs no academic qualifications, no skills, and knows nothing except driving.
I used to run a taxi business, and although my salary was high, my business was secure and I could earn tens of thousands to eight thousand a month.
But now, with so many online ride-hailing services, we can hardly continue to work as taxis."
"Then why don't you buy a car and drive an online ride-hailing service?"
Cheng Yu frowned when he heard this, looked at Du Xiaoyu, and thought to himself, why is this girl talking so much today?
The driver sighed again and said: "It's all the same. If you don't do things like online car-hailing full-time, it's okay. If you do it full-time, the income is not reliable. On the contrary, the arrest of drunk driving is now strict. Everyone's safety
Awareness is also high, everyone has a car, and more and more people are hiring drivers. Their income is relatively stable."
"Then if there was a job with an income comparable to yours now, but one that didn't require you to travel around the world, would you be willing to do it?"
"Of course I do. Who would be willing to run around like this all day long? This lady, I was actually quite fair two years ago. I used to drive a taxi, so I couldn't show off or show off. But now, in just two years, my daughter has...
You almost don’t recognize me. But, who would want middle-aged men like us who don’t know anything?”
"hehe……"
Du Xiaoyu was about to speak, but Cheng Yu quickly interrupted her.
"Xiaoyu, what are you doing?"
Du Xiaoyu turned to look at Cheng Yu and said, "Don't you think this driver is very safe in driving?
Even at night, when there were no cars on the road, his speed did not increase too high.
I think his driving skills are pretty good, and it's really time for you to have a full-time driver.
It saves you the trouble of going out and driving yourself. If something happens, the car can only be left in the parking lot.
I think you seem to be traveling out of town more and more frequently now. When you come back, you are already exhausted from traveling and traveling, and you have to drive dozens of kilometers home by yourself. This is actually not good.
How about hiring a driver?"
Cheng Yu still frowned slightly, but it was difficult to say it in front of the driver.
After all, although today is the second time you meet this driver, you don't know who he is at all.
Whether Cheng Yu is Cheng Guangnian's son or the boss of an investment company, he must be cautious about hiring a driver.
How can you say that if you meet a driver with good driving skills, you will rush to invite him to be your personal driver?
But it is inconvenient to say this, as it seems to imply that the driver is a bad person.
Therefore, Cheng Yu could only look at Du Xiaoyu with a frown, wondering why Du Xiaoyu was so weird. This was not like her usual style at all.
Du Xiaoyu also saw Cheng Yu's dissatisfaction, smiled, and asked the driver: "Master Sun, actually this is not the first time I have met you."
"Oh? Have I ever accepted your driving order before?" Master Sun actually felt that the atmosphere in the back seat was a bit subtle, but he didn't care too much. On the contrary, Du Xiaoyu's enthusiasm and solicitation made him feel strange.
"No. I took your taxi before. I was only in the third grade of junior high school at that time. It was my high school entrance examination that day..."
Master Sun frowned slightly, as if he was recalling something, and he quickly remembered it.
"Ah, I have an impression. Did you leave your admission ticket in my car? You got off the car at the school gate. Not far away, I met a guest who was going to the airport. After more than ten minutes, I
I heard the station asking who sent a female student to No. 1 Middle School, saying that the admission ticket might have been left in the car..."
"Yes, that's me. In fact, I recognized you when I saw you just now, so I took the initiative to talk to you."
Du Xiaoyu smiled and then explained to Cheng Yu: "Master Sun is a very nice person. In fact, he was already on the airport expressway at that time and could drive more than ten kilometers.
I called the taxi company. I didn't remember the license plate. I only remembered that it was Zhongbei Company.
The receptionist asked me through the intercom. After receiving it, Master Sun immediately asked the guest to search in the back seat.
After finding it, he immediately got off the highway, helped the guest hail another taxi, turned around and gave me the admission ticket."
"Haha, these are all trivial matters. What's the delay? It can't delay the child's exam. It was a big deal for you at the time. It doesn't matter if I don't do one less business."
"I was relatively ignorant at the time. When Master Sun sent me the admission ticket, I didn't say anything. I didn't even give him gas money for his round trip. What's more, it cost him more than 100 yuan in business.
.”
Master Sun still smiled and said: "It's all small things, small things."
Cheng Yu probably understood.
Judging from this incident, Master Sun's character is really very good. If it were anyone else, let alone whether he would immediately give up the business of more than 100 yuan and rush back. Even if he rushed back, I'm afraid that
I will also consider contacting Du Xiaoyu first to confirm how the round trip expenses will be calculated.
It's just that it's been eight or nine years since this happened, and people will change.
