Cheng Yu was busy taking care of Cheng Qingsong. He didn't listen to a word Cheng Guangnian said.
Cheng Fu suddenly touched Cheng Yu and whispered: "Brother, uncle is calling you."
Cheng Yu raised his head and looked at Cheng Guangnian.
Cheng Guangnian's eyes were filled with inquiry. Cheng Yu scratched his head and said, "What did you just say? I didn't hear it."
Cheng Guangnian seemed a little unhappy, but he still said patiently: "We were just discussing arrangements for this year's New Year.
It is customary to have a day of gatherings at every home.
New Year's Eve doesn't count. Tomorrow, the first day of the Lunar New Year, will still be at our house.
In the second year of junior high school, considering that you and Xiaoyu have just gotten married, Xiaoyu will have to return home in the first year, so there will be no arrangements for it.
On the third day of the lunar month, it’s your second uncle’s house, on the fourth day of the lunar month, it’s your third uncle’s house, and on the fifth day of the lunar month, it’s your sister-in-law’s house.
Do you have any opinions?"
Cheng Yu waved his hand and said, "I have to work since my third year of junior high school, so I'm afraid I won't have much time. I'll try my best and go when I can. If I don't arrive, you don't have to worry about me."
Cheng Guangnian, who was not very happy at first, frowned completely. He raised his voice and said, "You start working on the third day of the new year? With so many people combined, you are still less busy than you alone?"
Cheng Yu shrugged, not intending to confront Cheng Guangnian at such a time.
Seeing that Cheng Guangnian seemed to want to say something else, Du Xiaoyu hurriedly helped and said: "Dad, I know about Cheng Yu's work. He does have work to do in the third grade of junior high school. But there should be no problems later. Right Cheng Yu?"
In fact, at this time, if Cheng Yu just dealt with it casually, it would be over.
But Cheng Yu still insisted: "I'm not sure if there are any follow-up arrangements for the fourth and fifth days of the lunar month. Maybe I have to go to the imperial capital. Anyway, I'll try my best. Don't take it personally."
When Cheng Jie saw Cheng Yu mentioning herself, she hurriedly helped the father and son reconcile.
"It's okay, young people, career comes first. When can't we eat? It's not like before, when Yu'er was far away in the United States. Now we are in Wudong, and our family can have a meal together anytime. You have a job
Just busy with your business."
Seeing Cheng Jie speaking, Cheng Guangle and Cheng Guangtian were also mentioned, so it would be inappropriate for them not to speak.
So the two brothers also forced out a smile and said that it was a good thing for the young people to be busy.
Cheng Guangnian might have wanted to say something else, but Du Changfeng whispered to him before giving up.
"Okay, let's eat first. It's the New Year's Eve dinner once a year. Let's all be happy." Cheng Guangnian took the lead and raised the cup in his hand.
Cheng Qingsong also raised the cup in his hand. Of course, the cup still contained the fruit vinegar specially prepared for him by Cheng Yu. He took a sip and frowned, tutting slightly, as if he had drank before he was sick.
appearance.
But when he put down his wine glass and began to just lower his head and eat the food with a satisfied smile, everyone knew that Cheng Qingsong was still in a confused state, and his condition had not improved because of the New Year celebrations.
"Brother, I will go to work in my uncle's company after the new year. My uncle said that he would like me to be his assistant, but I have to study at the secretariat for a while. When I can become independent, he will let me be his assistant."
Cheng Fu seemed to be chatting with Cheng Yu casually. Cheng Yu remained calm but frowned slightly in his heart.
Do you think I'm that familiar with you? I'm not in the Cheng Group, so you don't need to come here to flatter me.
"Oh, that's good. You'll be at your peak when you debut. This first job will be at the executive level, right?"
Cheng Fu seemed a little embarrassed, his face turned red, and he said with some embarrassment: "As an assistant to the uncle, you should be a senior executive. But I have just joined the company, and the administrative level will definitely not be that high. The uncle actually wants to train me.
, who let me, my dad and my eldest brother fail to live up to expectations? They are all in their own business, but they are still doing some small tricks in it."
Cheng Yu turned his face, glanced at Cheng Fu, and said to himself that you are quite skilled at selling your father and brother, but in this state, you either have other agendas or you are just a white-eyed wolf. Your father and brother
Although they are not authentic, they are still very kind to you, and they are not heinous people after all. If you say this about them, are you not afraid of thunder?
Cheng Yu suddenly felt that he should probably find someone to change his seat, otherwise when Cheng Fu was struck by lightning, he would be easily implicated.
Subconsciously, Cheng Yu couldn't help but move his chair slightly towards Cheng Qingsong.
"Brother, why don't you say you don't want to join Cheng's Group? I have heard about your achievements this year. If you had directly joined Cheng's Group when you returned to China, you would have made a lot of achievements by now. In Cheng's
If you develop within a platform like the group, you may achieve better results than if you start your own business."
Cheng Yu glanced at Cheng Fu again and said with a smile: "He probably has no intention of letting me join the group. I happen to have no interest in these things. It is more interesting to start my own business."
Cheng Fu smiled harmlessly and continued to flatter him: "That's true. With your strength, brother, maybe in twenty years you can build a large enterprise that is no worse than the current Cheng Group."
"If Lao Cheng hears what you said, be careful he won't let you be his assistant." Cheng Yu made a half-serious joke, and Cheng Fu suddenly fell silent.
Cheng Fu silently looked at Cheng Yu who started to take care of Cheng Qingsong again, and smiled coldly in his heart. He said to himself, reincarnation is really a science, and we are just a little bit different. What does it mean that you are not interested in these things? It is better to start your own business.
Funny, shit!
If Cheng Guangnian let you join the group, I'm afraid you would be able to dominate the world now, right?
When you first joined, you brought back a Xixi subway project. I'm afraid no one in the group would dare to give you advice except Cheng Guangnian.
By then...
Suddenly, Cheng Fu seemed to understand something.
He looked at Cheng Guangnian and thought to himself, as an uncle, I never allow anyone to oppose his opinions.
It can be said that the Cheng Group's current scale and achievements are entirely due to Cheng Guangnian alone, and the others seem to be just his investors.
In the board of directors, other directors basically have no say. Cheng Guangnian is a typical spokesperson for Yi Yantang.
Such a person unexpectedly gave birth to a son like Cheng Yu who was against him every day.
Therefore, my uncle, by not letting Cheng Yu join the Cheng family, is actually afraid that Cheng Yu will confront him tit for tat and undermine his authority in the Cheng family group, right?
It would be fine if Cheng Yu's performance was not outstanding, but this year's results, even for me, are really good.
The better he performs, the more reluctant my uncle will be to let him enter the Cheng Group.
So, you actually think that Cheng Guangnian may not hand over the Cheng Group to his son in the end, and maybe we still have a chance to become the heirs of the Cheng Group. Stop dreaming, Cheng Guangnian has worked hard for half his life, just to serve us
Do you want to conquer the country?
The reason why he showed indifference to Cheng Yu and sent him to the United States to study early, do you think it is because Cheng Guangnian treats Cheng Yu badly? Quite the opposite.
Objectively speaking, there is still a big gap between China's education level and that of the United States.
We are all the grandsons of the same grandfather. Whether it is Cheng Yi or Cheng Mo, do you really have a lower IQ than Cheng Yu? How could he be admitted to the business school of the University of Southern California and graduate so early?
Can't you?
Although the school I went to was not as good as his, but look at it, if I worked a little harder, wouldn't I have earned enough credits and graduated early?
This thing is not that difficult, and our IQ will not be much worse than his. What we are inferior to is education starting from elementary school.
Cheng Guangnian sent Cheng Yu to the United States in the hope of cultivating a so-called "genius".
Moreover, the United States is the world's largest economy. It's easy to say that in middle school, if you go to a prestigious university or enter a business school, the worst classmates around you are people who have had the halo of genius since childhood. Most of them are actually people like Cheng Yu.
A rich second generation whose family owns a mine.
When these rich second generations gather together, how many resources will be needed?
How come Cheng Yu has achieved such good results after only one year since he returned to China?
Most of his company's customers are from the United States, and a steady stream of funds is handed over to him. If he were not a retarded person, how could his performance be any worse?
Why can he have so many high-quality customers in the United States? Isn’t it accumulated over the years of living in the United States?
Even the Xixi subway project, if he was not Cheng Guangnian’s son, why would Xue Changyun transfer the entire project to him?
Bullshit geniuses, everyone is the same, it’s just that the resources you have enjoyed since childhood are better than us.
After returning to China, if Cheng Yu is not allowed to join the Cheng Group, does it mean that Cheng Guangnian does not intend to give Cheng Yu inheritance rights?
You are so naive!
That is his biological son, his own property, if not his biological son, who should give it to?
Maybe he would think of brotherly love and give us a small share when he finally hands over the company to Cheng Yu, but how much can it be? One percent or two percent?
Cheng Guangnian put Cheng Yu outside the group just to make you people think that you still have a chance to get the group's shares, so that you will work hard for the group.
We work hard, but who gets the benefits? In the end, it’s not Cheng Yu?
Therefore, don't be blinded by Cheng Guangnian's calculations. They are father and son. No matter how uncooperative they are, they are still father and son.
Look at my dad, what about my brothers? Didn’t you just kick them to Hong Kong Island?
Where is my brother?
It is true that my brother is somewhat lacking in ability, but after all, he is also your nephew, Cheng Guangnian, right? At least he is the eldest brother of the third generation of the Cheng family.
If you throw him to the northwest with just one sentence, none of those northwest people will take him seriously now. They won't even call him out in meetings. They treat him completely as a joke.
Is this brotherly love?
Please wake up, the Cheng Group will never have our share.
If we want to get something, we can only fight for it step by step.
Wake up!
…………
…………
For almost half of the meal, Cheng Fu was making calculations in his mind. Cheng Yu wished he would ignore her and chatted happily with Cheng Qingsong.
The women gradually got off the table, but the men were still drinking and chatting.
Cheng Qingsong was obviously full, stroking his belly and looking at the children and grandchildren chatting at the table with an incomprehensible expression, as if he understood everything and had temporarily overcome the symptoms of Alzheimer's disease.
Only Cheng Yu knew that Cheng Qingsong was simply overeating. The old man often did this. After eating too much, he would show a staring posture. To put it nicely, it was enigmatic, but to put it poorly, it was actually...
daze.
"Old man, shall we go have tea?" Cheng Yu asked Cheng Qingsong.
Cheng Qingsong looked back, seeming hesitant, but still nodded.
When he stood up, Cheng Qingsong asked worriedly: "Will I be unable to sleep if I drink tea so late?"
Cheng Yu smiled and said: "If we drink less Pu'er, we shouldn't be in trouble."
"That's fine. It's too uncomfortable not being able to sleep."
Supporting the overfed Cheng Qingsong, the old man's steps seemed to become much heavier, causing Cheng Yu to stumble.
Cheng Fu also quickly stood up and helped Cheng Yu, as if he said casually: "Brother, there is nothing wrong with your body, right? Insufficient blood supply to the brain? Why do you still fall down when you get up?"
"Grandpa's body is too heavy, I was not prepared for it." Cheng Yu also answered casually, not feeling anything wrong in his heart.
"Brother, you can't just rely on your youth to take nothing seriously. The younger you are, the more you need to go to the hospital for a thorough check-up due to insufficient blood supply to the brain. My aunt is a brain specialist.
How about I help you make an appointment with her after the New Year?"
Cheng Yu stood still and looked at Cheng Fu, who was a little shorter than him, with slightly vacant eyes.
This guy, what he said seemed to mean something. Did he know that I had a brain tumor? Didn’t I just get a little dazed? Why did it involve brain surgery? Even if I really got up and got up
If some parts of the brain have insufficient blood supply, it is just a matter of iron and zinc supplementation. How can it be related to brain surgery?
Isn't this a bit deliberate?
However, Cheng Yu didn't say much, just smiled and said, "No need, I know what I know." After that, he helped Cheng Qingsong to leave.
Cheng Fu looked at Cheng Yu's back and sneered, thinking, "Pretend, I see you continue to pretend, but I want to see how long you can keep pretending."
But is this guy really not afraid of death? He has a brain tumor, but he still acts as if nothing is wrong and starts a business like others.
Although I don't know the specific situation in your mind, Cheng Yu has never been to the hospital since he returned to China in the past year. What on earth does he want to do?
But it's okay, I'm still young and I can afford to wait.
When you are about to die, and among the people named Cheng in the family, I am the best performer. Unless Cheng Guangnian is able to have another child, adopting me into his room should be the best choice, right?
However, I can’t think too well, I have to be prepared.
After looking at Cheng Yi and Cheng Mo who were still at the table, Cheng Fu turned to look at Cheng Ran who had left the table and sighed inwardly.
Oh, brother, why are you so unsatisfactory? It makes it impossible for me to join forces with you now. I can only take advantage of Cheng Ran and Cheng Mo.
Finally, the remaining men also left the table. Cheng Guangnian and Du Changfeng walked towards the study one after another. Cheng Guangle and Cheng Guangtian were too smart to follow.
Cheng Yu drank tea with the old man and saw that it was almost eight o'clock.
On New Year's Eve, no one in the entire Cheng family was allowed to leave, and it was customary for everyone to watch the Spring Festival Gala together.
However, Cheng Qingsong must not be able to see anymore. He is old and confused. He should go to bed at eight o'clock.
The nurse came to take Cheng Qingsong away. Cheng Yu looked around the hall and did not find Cheng Guangnian. He wanted to talk to Cheng Guangnian about the old house at home before the Spring Festival Gala started.
It can be regarded as a reminder to Cheng Guangnian.
Although Cheng Fu vaguely pointed out that Cheng Yu was ill just now, Cheng Yu had no evidence, but the old house at home could easily become a means for Cheng Guangle and Cheng Guangtian to criticize Cheng Guangnian.
No matter what, he is also Cheng Yu's biological father, so it is necessary to remind him.
Of course, mainly to satisfy his own curiosity, Cheng Yu also wanted to find out what was going on in the old house and how could the old man Cheng Qingsong owe such a large sum of money.
Three hundred and eighty thousand!
Everyone was in the room, but Cheng Guangnian was not seen.
Cheng Yu walked to Ning Kezhu, leaned over and whispered in her ear: "Mom, where did Lao Cheng go?"
"You kid, no matter how old or young you are, can't you call me daddy just to make me worry less? How many times have you contradicted your dad today?"
Cheng Yu chuckled, scratched his head and said, "I'm not planning to have a good chat with him."
"Your father went to the study with your father-in-law after dinner. The two of them went in for almost two hours and still didn't come out."
Wei Lan heard the conversation between mother and son, looked at the time, and said: "It's just right, Xiaoyu, go and call your dad out. It's a custom in your family to watch the Spring Festival Gala, so we won't join in the fun. It's about time
Went back."
Of course Cheng Yu knew that the "dad" Wei Lan was referring to was Du Changfeng.
He nodded and said, "Okay, let me go over and take a look. Don't worry, Mom. I have something I want to talk to my two dads about. It won't take too long, maybe half an hour."
"Pay attention to your time." Wei Lan warned.
Cheng Yu walked towards the study and seemed to hear some faint arguments coming from the study.
He obviously suppressed his voice consciously, but the smell of gunpowder can still be heard in his voice.
He reached out and knocked on the door, and Cheng Guangnian's voice came from inside: "Who? Wait a minute!"
How could Cheng Yu listen to Cheng Guangnian? He turned the door handle and pushed the door open.
"Didn't I tell you to wait a moment? I have something to talk to..."
When he saw it was Cheng Yu, Cheng Guangnian knew that no matter what he said, it would be useless. Cheng Yu pushed the door open intentionally.
"What are you here for?"
Cheng Yu smiled slightly and looked at the two rich men in the room.
Although there was anger in Cheng Guangnian's voice, his expression was actually quite good. This anger was a bit of a performance.
Although Du Changfeng didn't speak, he was still sitting steadily on the sofa. When he saw Cheng Yu come in, he picked up the whiskey glass at hand and wanted to drink something, but found that there was no wine in the glass. The look on his face
His expression betrayed him. Obviously, Du Changfeng was the real angry person.
"Dad, did Old Cheng make you angry again?" Cheng Yu smiled and closed the door.
"Bastard, who is your father?!" Cheng Guangnian was not angry before, but Cheng Yu's words made Cheng Guangnian very angry.
Du Changfeng, on the other hand, smiled.
"Look, your son is really much more sensible than you. Guangnian, we have been friends for so many years, and I can tell you from the bottom of my heart that your greatest achievement in this life is not that you created the oligarch Cheng Group, but that
It was you who gave birth to a good son."
"Don't think that you are great just because he calls you dad twice. He is still my son no matter what, and everything flowing on his body is my blood. Moreover, he is so enthusiastic towards you, so you are not afraid that he is thinking about you.
family property?”
"I'll give it to him!" Du Changfeng was almost competing with Cheng Guangnian.
Cheng Yu looked at it and shook his head. He thought to himself that he was over a hundred years old in total. How could he be worse than a child?
"Then you should give it! You are reluctant to part with it. Even if I ask you to transfer all the shares to your own daughter, you are reluctant to part with it. How do you expect you to give me a son?"
Seeing the disdain on Cheng Guangnian's face, Du Changfeng suddenly took a breath and said, "Hey, I was lucky enough to be fooled by an old guy like you."
Cheng Yu had no choice but to say, "Dads, what are you two doing?"
