I went to pour a glass of water for An Lan, then took her to sit on the sofa, and then said to her: "Drink some water first, and I will tell you slowly."
She stretched out her slender fingers, picked up the water glass, took a sip of water, and then asked with a smile: "Why are you so mysterious? What on earth is going on?"
"Can you guess first?" I said, pretending to be mysterious.
She smiled and said, "How can you guess this? You have to reveal it to me, right? Could it be that you and Zhou Mo are divorced?"
This is probably what she hopes for most, but it might make her sad.
After looking carelessly, I finally said to her: "It's good news. Uncle Zhou Mo has no objection to your return to the company, so from now on you will be the general manager of Yuanfeng Group."
"Really?" An Lan looked a little excited.
I nodded heavily and said, "Of course, I'll be waiting for you to come back at any time. All the employees in the company are waiting for you to come back."
"But I don't want to come back." She curled her lips and said.
"Why?" I calmed down immediately.
"Because you've done a great job, and now I can't keep up with the progress even if I come back. It's useless."
"How can you say it's useless, An Lan, to be honest, the company is really short of people now, especially talents like you. Come back!"
She still looked like she couldn't decide, and said: "Chen Feng, actually I have already thought about it when I come back this time. From now on, I will be the woman behind you. After you and Zhou Mo divorce, I will bring Xiao Man back.
I will take care of the children at home, and you will be responsible for making money to support the family."
I laughed at her and said, "You are An Lan, are you really willing to be a housewife?"
"What's the point? And I think family is more important than career now."
"Family is important, but it's not enough without stable material support."
"So you make money outside, and Xiaoman and I are responsible for spending the money." After An Lan finished speaking, he stuck out his tongue at me playfully.
She really rarely shows her cute side in front of me, and I have never even seen it.
Maybe, she really wants to change herself. In fact, her thoughts are not my thoughts.
I also hope that she can be safe and sound and not have to continue to crawl around in the mall, but right now I really have no choice.
I let out a long sigh and said seriously: "An Lan, I understand what you said, and I agree, but now is really not the time."
"why?"
"Look, the company is now back on track, especially the new energy side. I don't know these things as well as you do. Also, I have retained some of the group's businesses, such as Ruian Textile, and I plan to use Ruian directly.
There are really a lot of things to do when setting up a brand, and I can’t handle it all by myself.”
After An Lan was silent for a while, he finally said to me: "If you say that, then I should go back to the company?"
"It's necessary. I really need you. You can leave after everything is stable."
An Lan shrugged and said, "Okay, I'll be back."
I took a long breath and said, "Great, I'll go and get you started now."
"Are you so anxious?"
"The sooner the better. You will officially start working tomorrow. I will tell you everything about the group later. I am ready."
An Lan laughed again, looked at me and said, "Is this why you are so anxious to call me back?"
"That's right! I'm really busy. I really can't do it without you."
"Okay, then I'll help you share the burden."
After An Lan agreed, I directly went through the onboarding procedures for her, and then quickly spread the news of her appointment throughout the company.
Most of the employees in the company are old employees, so they all know An Lan, so no introduction is needed.
After An Lan came back, I directly asked her to take over the position of general manager, but I could not quit and continued to serve as chairman.
After all the procedures were completed, I handed her all the documents and data I had compiled over the past few days, and gave her a detailed explanation of the current strategic direction of the group.
An Lan is a very capable person. I simply told her these things and she knew what to do next.
The moment I saw her sitting on the chair in the office, I was completely relieved. No matter what, the company must not fail!
An Lan is not such an irrational person. Even if she knew that I betrayed her and was with Zhou Mo, she would not leave the company so easily.
I believe in her and believe that she can lead the company to develop better.
But I really can't bear to let her go, so now I try to look at her as long as I can.
Even though she was concentrating on reading those reports, I watched her quietly without disturbing her.
In a daze, An Lan suddenly shouted to me: "Didn't you say you were too busy? Why are you still looking at me here leisurely and elegantly?"
"Now that you're back, I'm not in a hurry. I just want to see you for a while."
"It seems that Chen Min is right. I have been watching it for two years. Haven't you seen enough?"
I smiled and said, "Before, when Chen Min was here, I was embarrassed to speak. Now that there are only two of us, I'm not afraid anymore. I really haven't seen enough, and I will never see enough in my life."
"Just be poor. Now I seriously doubt whether you will be like this when you get along with Zhou Mo?"
"Of course not, I don't like her."
"But I think you should not be too indifferent to others. She has really sacrificed a lot to help us. I must make her a friend."
I didn't want to talk to her about this, so I asked her instead: "Tell me about your time in London? How are things going on with YM Group?"
"I told them the truth. Our business relations have been resumed now. I thought you already knew it."
"I know. I also received a letter of apology from YM Group, but I especially want to know what happened to the man named Adif who was involved in our group?"
An Lan shrugged and said: "After my negotiation with YM Group, they have no objection to me using legal weapons to protect the rights and interests of our group. This time I come back to sue him to court."
After An Lan finished speaking, he paused and said to me: "Don't worry, the frozen assets of the group will be unblocked soon. I have asked Chen Min to handle this matter with full authority."
"If he makes such a big fuss, he has to go to jail, right?"
"It will be easier for him to go to jail. It is said that his father has severed the father-son relationship with him."
"So miserable?"
An Lan smiled and said: "Otherwise? YM Group can develop to its current scale because the chairman is ruthless. He doesn't care whether Adiv is his son or not. As long as it harms him in business, he is very decisive."
I was silent for a while and said, "Then do I have to be more decisive in the future?"
"Since I came out of the detention center, I have heard about some of your methods, and you are quite ruthless. I heard that as soon as you came back to take over the group, you fired many people and cut off many businesses."
"Isn't this cruel? This is normal operation."
"Anyway, it is impossible to be indecisive in the workplace. My dad is the best example. Although he succeeded, he was still betrayed because he was too indecisive."
"Are you complaining about your dad?"
"No, I'm just telling the truth. I'm very similar to my dad in this regard. I can't be so decisive in certain things, but you can do it."
I smiled and said, "I don't even know if you are praising me or belittling me."
"Of course I am praising you. You have made great progress, but you have not forgotten your original intention, so the group will only get better and better under your leadership."
An Lan said while looking for something on the desk. She was about to open the drawer where I kept the pregnancy test report.
