When I heard the milky voice of "Daddy" coming from the other end of the phone, my nose instantly became sore and tears burst out of my eyes.
Yes, someone called me daddy. Although the voice was not very clear, I heard it more clearly than ever.
"Xiao Man is calling you, do you hear me?" An Lan's mother said to me immediately.
"I heard it." I choked.
"Now Xiaoman can only call her mom and dad, but the child is well behaved. I will send you some photos of her later."
"Okay, okay"
"Well, let's do this for now. Remember to send me your account number."
I responded, and then said with a smile while crying: "Mom, Xiaoman will trouble you. I will pick her up after I finish handling these things."
"Don't worry, handle your affairs yourself, and leave Xiaoman and me alone."
After hanging up the phone, I sent my bank account number, and soon I also received a photo of the child from An Lan's mother.
The background should be in a park. Xiaoman is holding a maple leaf in his hand and smiling very cutely in front of the camera.
The moment I saw the photo, I couldn't help it anymore, and my tears just kept falling.
My child, this is my child.
For the sake of my children and An Lan, I must grit my teeth and get through this difficulty.
That night, I put my phone next to my pillow, with the screen always on, as if Xiaoman was by my side.
In my dream, I actually dreamed of Xiao Man and also dreamed of An Lan.
Our family of three ran happily in the park. When we were tired, we lay together on the green grass. On my left was An Lan, and on my right was Xiao Man.
I feel like I am the happiest person in the world. I woke up with a smile. I have not had such a happy dream for a long, long time.
But the world when I wake up is more like a nightmare!
Sometimes I can't tell which side is real.
After I got up, I discovered that my phone was out of battery because it had been on like this all night last night.
I quickly charged it up, and after turning it on I found a credit message from the bank.
It was a full 20 million. I wanted 10 million, but she gave me an extra 10 million.
I think, this is my mother!
It was only later that I learned that this money was actually all the money she could get away with. In fact, most of her money was donated to the construction of Hope Primary Schools in China.
But in order to help me, she did not hesitate to sell her mansion in London and gave all the money to me.
Of course, I only found out about these things later.
After arriving at the company, I immediately called Gao Sheng to the office.
I said to her: "I've taken care of the money. You don't need to be in such a hurry to deal with the goods in the warehouse."
"Twenty million, all done?!" He looked at me very surprised, his mouth wide enough to fit into a fist.
I nodded heavily and said, "That's right, 20 million, every penny is a lot."
"My dear, it's only been one night. It seems that An Lan's mother has something!"
"I'm also quite puzzled. What does An Lan's mother do? Why did the two thousand people turn around so quickly?"
"You don't know?" Gao Sheng looked at me blankly and said, "Yes, you have lost your memory. Let me tell you, Min Nolan is amazing. He used to be one of the three major consortiums in Europe, Jiahua
Major shareholder of the group, do you think she has any money?"
"so smart?"
"But it doesn't seem to be the case now. The Jiahua Group is already in the past, but a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. Let alone 20 million, even 200 million is not a problem for her."
The more I heard, the more mysterious it became. How could An Lan's life experience be so good?
How did I meet her in the first place?
But now is not the time to think about this. I have to go to the tenderer and talk to Zhou Mo about the situation.
Since the bid document cannot be changed temporarily, and it is quite troublesome, I can only tell her the situation in person so that the tenderer can take note of it.
I immediately said to Gao Sheng: "Brother Lao Gao will go to the bidding agency to talk to Zhou Mo about the situation."
"You have taken care of the money matter. Logically speaking, I should go, but" he paused and then said helplessly, "I really can't afford to offend that female devil. You know my temper. What if?"
If we quarrel with her again, we'll be in trouble."
"As for that?"
"As for this matter, it's important and you can't be careless. It's better for you to go there in person. As for me, I will deal with the batch of goods in the warehouse honestly. I just found a buyer last night."
"Find a buyer so quickly?"
"It's necessary, and you don't care who I am."
"Stop bragging, don't be crooked!"
"What a crooked way. It can't be any more formal channel."
"That's good, okay, let's split up!"
I rushed to the tendering agency that afternoon. This was the first time I entered Zhou Mo's office.
The office is not big and has no special features. It is just like other offices I have passed along the way. This is probably the case in state-owned enterprises like this.
Zhou Mo was a little surprised when he saw me.
"How did you find my office?" She put down the pen in her hand, took off her glasses and looked at me.
I smiled and walked towards her, and praised her for a while: "You look good with glasses."
"Stop doing this, why are you here with me again?"
"I came here specifically to say hello to you and express my gratitude in person."
"Thank you for what?" There was still no unnecessary expression on her face.
"Thank you for allowing our company to have a fair qualification for this bidding." This is indeed what I mean. I also said it very seriously.
She smiled calmly and said, "Thank you. Retaining your qualifications does not mean that you can get the agency right. I don't need to say more about the current situation of your company. You can't even get the deposit, right?"
"I'm here to tell you about this today. I have the money here. Please make a note for us. We need to change the reserve fund in the bid document to 20 million."
"Change the bid document temporarily?" She frowned at me and sneered, "Only a company like yours that doesn't care about credibility can do it."
I sighed and said, "Team Leader Zhou, why can't you blame Wan Lai? I know that the submitted bid cannot be tampered with at will, but you can help us make a note. It's not troublesome."
"The main thing is are you sure you can get the 20 million reserve fund?"
"Definitely and definitely." I said with determination.
"Okay, is there anything else?" She looked at me meaningfully with her eyes.
"Gone."
"Then please come back, I'm very busy."
"Okay, I won't bother you, just remember to make a note for us!"
With that said, I turned around and left her office.
When I reached the door, I stopped again, turned around and said with a smile: "By the way, there is one more thing."
"What's wrong?" She was already a little impatient.
"Actually, you don't look good with glasses. Really, if you are really short-sighted, you can try contact lenses. Don't let the glasses frame cover your beauty."
Before I finished speaking, I saw her grabbing a folder on her desk and about to throw it at me.
