Xiaoman and I both took out paper at the same time, and then helped An Lan wipe away the tears from the corners of his eyes.
An Lan pursed her lips and looked uncomfortable. She stretched out her hand and said to me, "Hubby, let me hug you."
I leaned over and hugged her, feeling her reality and the body temperature emanating from her.
Xiaoman was jealous and said in a sweet voice, "Mom, I want to hug you too."
An Lan smiled and then hugged Xiao Man.
Only Yangyang was left on the stroller, still dancing and dancing, as if she was also looking for a hug.
Later, An Lan also told me about what happened to her in the past three months, especially when she was pregnant, she almost had a caesarean section.
I immediately became nervous and asked her the specific reason.
An Lan told me very easily: "Because the fetal position was not good at that time, I was unable to give birth smoothly. The doctor saw that I was in pain, so he suggested a caesarean section. But when I thought about it, the scar on my belly would not look good, and you would dislike me."
.In the end, I insisted on giving birth naturally, and it took more than two hours to give birth to Yang Yang."
After hearing this, my eyes became red.
I couldn't feel her pain at that time. Giving birth itself was a very painful thing, and if the fetal position was not good and it was difficult to have a normal delivery, how painful would it be?
I sighed heavily, held her hand and said, "Thank you for your hard work, wife, but you really shouldn't have made this choice. I'm not afraid of scars on your belly, and I won't dislike you."
"I despise myself, and I don't like leaving scars. Don't worry about it. Isn't that good?"
I held her hand tightly, there was no way I could let this woman down.
Looking back at Xiao Man on the stroller, I said to him: "Little guy, you have made my wife suffer so much. When you grow up, I will slowly take care of you."
Xiaoman stood in front of the baby and said to me in a grunting tone: "Dad, please don't bully your younger brother."
An Lan and I both laughed when we saw this scene. It's so easy to take on the role of a sister!
But this is good. Although Xiaoman is not much older, it is good to have an older sister to protect him.
After chatting for a while about their parents' quarrels, An Lan suddenly said seriously: "By the way, the group has been in a big situation recently, do you know about it?"
"Most of them know, but last time our own funds were able to be relieved for a period of time, so it shouldn't be a big problem."
“That’s not the problem”
An Lan paused for a moment, then said in a deep voice: "Corruption and bribery have occurred within the group. Two days ago, I asked Gao Sheng to show me the financial reports of the past two months. The problem is quite serious."
My brows frowned subconsciously. Gao Sheng cannot be blamed for such a thing happening, it was caused by this sudden crisis.
I thought for a moment and said, "It doesn't matter. I'll go back to the mall at worst."
An Lan also said after a period of silence: "That's what I think. Either return to the market or withdraw our shares. This is the best choice at the moment."
Judging from the current crisis, which has not yet completely subsided, exiting the shares is indeed the right choice. The money we have earned is enough.
But I am not willing to give in. It has been a difficult journey along the way. I have finally built the Yuanfeng Group, but will it collapse due to a natural disaster?
After another period of silence, I said to An Lan: "Don't make a decision so quickly. I won't give up until I have to."
An Lan nodded, held my hand and said, "No matter what decision you make in the end, I will support you."
We looked at each other and smiled.
In the afternoon, An Yifeng and Zhou Mo learned that I was back, and they rushed over immediately.
I also called Gao Sheng and asked him to bring Zhu Ling as a guest.
And Fu Zhiqiang, I also called him.
An Lan also contacted Chen Min and asked her to come to his home as a guest.
I asked Sister Cai to buy a lot of ingredients, and we all had a lively meal together in the evening.
Although we were separated for only three and a half months, it was like a life and death experience for me. I couldn't come back from that point, and I even wrote my suicide note.
After experiencing this life and death, I also understand the importance of life better. Unfortunately, I really want to live a few more years.
The dinner was very lively. Friends all gathered together, drank some wine and chatted about some happy things.
After the meal, when Gao Sheng and I were smoking outside, he suddenly said to me solemnly: "Boss, I think you have to go back to the group."
While smoking a cigarette, I replied: "An Lan and I also talked about some things in the group this morning, but she doesn't know much. Please tell me in detail."
Gao Sheng said with an embarrassed look on his face: "Boss, I really betrayed your trust. Too many things have happened during this period, and I can't handle them at all."
I can feel that he is not as lively as usual, and there are obviously a lot of white hairs on his head.
The environment really changes a person from the inside out.
In my eyes, Gao Sheng has always been an optimistic, positive and sunny boy, but now he has become depressed because of these trivial matters in the group.
I stretched out my hand and patted his shoulder, and said earnestly: "Don't say things like letting me down. I've given you too much pressure. Don't worry. Leave it to me to deal with it later. Please tell me the specifics."
Condition."
Gao Sheng nodded, and then said: "Let's talk about the group's business first, which is also more important."
I nodded, and Gao Sheng continued: "The international trade business has completely stopped at present, and we have not developed the domestic market. Coupled with the current crisis, it is even more difficult to reach the sky."
"What's the benefit?"
Gao Sheng shook his head and sighed: "It's very pessimistic, and the stock market is also extremely turbulent, with continuous declines in just one month."
I watched the stock market when I was in Wuhan. This is not only true for our Yuanfeng Group, but also for many real industries. Only the online education industry and the pharmaceutical industry have been soaring.
This is also foreseeable, because this crisis has caused most cities across the country to implement comprehensive lockdown management, so the online education industry and the pharmaceutical industry will naturally stand out.
We happen to be in a physical industry, and our main business is foreign trade. The impact we have received can be said to be second only to the catering industry among all industries.
I took two puffs of cigarette quietly and asked Gao Sheng, "What else is there?"
"Actually, there is corruption and bribery within the group, and there is a lot of it. If it is traced, it may have a big impact. Moreover, you told me last time to pay more attention to Shu Wenjie and his gang. I found that there is really a problem."
"Did you learn anything specific?"
"I asked Qiangzi to find out more about it, and I asked him to come out and tell you."
After Gao Sheng finished speaking, he went back to the room and called Fu Zhiqiang out, and asked Fu Zhiqiang the question I just asked him.
After Fu Zhiqiang came and sat down next to us, he said seriously: "Brother, I have been paying attention to Shu Wenjie and the others during this period, and I found that they have betrayed the company openly."
"specific situation."
"They began to cooperate with other merchants and maintained regular cooperation, but they all used our own logistics."
“Do you know which companies to cooperate with?”
"I have a list over there. I'll send it to you when I get back later."
I nodded and then asked Gao Sheng, "Are there any other situations?"
"Yes, and it's the most serious one." Gao Sheng's face was filled with solemnity, and his brows were furrowed tightly.
