While I was complaining, An Lan looked at me with a smile and said in a rare tone: "Okay, I'll call him back as soon as possible, okay?"
"I'll really scold him when he comes back. Who is he?"
An Lan said, "Why are you scolding him? I won't let him come back."
When I heard her words, I felt very uncomfortable. I am the clown!
I smiled bitterly and said, "Okay, forget me for being nosy."
"I didn't say you were nosy, but I have to thank you for helping me so much these past two days."
"I don't need your thanks. I won't say anything anymore. I'm going to go through the discharge procedures for you."
The discharge procedure went very smoothly. Originally, giving birth was a big deal, but generally, you can be discharged from the hospital on the same day after giving birth.
Just like when Xiao Wei gave birth to Panpan, she was discharged from the hospital on the same day of surgery.
After completing the discharge procedures, I returned to the ward to help An Lan pack her luggage, and then she left the hospital with me holding the baby.
I took the mother and daughter to my car, told them to sit down, and then set off to the confinement center.
There is no way, An Lan has no family to take care of her here, so she can only send her to the best confinement center.
In the car, An Lan kept interacting with her baby. I have never seen her so happy.
From time to time, I looked in the rearview mirror to see her interacting with the baby. She felt like a little girl, which allowed me to see another side of her.
It even made me feel in a trance, as if we were not separated and this scene really happened.
I know that when I think this way, I am mentally cheating.
But the problem is, I have never forgotten An Lan.
It's okay that she doesn't appear in my world. It's obviously been so long, but why does she appear in front of me again at this time?
Just when I was thinking about this, An Lan suddenly said to me: "Chen Feng, I know that your company now needs to cooperate with foreign-funded enterprises. My current company is really a good cooperation platform for you. Let's put aside all the previous prejudices."
Instead of talking, how about just talking about cooperation?"
I was quite awkward at first, but I was doing things with her, and I was afraid that Wang Yi would not agree.
Wang Yi told me personally last night that she understood me and that she would no longer doubt me.
Based on this, I finally said to An Lan: "Can you tell me what the nature of your company is? It hasn't been long since you came back, how come you established a foreign trade company so quickly?"
An Lan also said to me seriously: "It was also a coincidence that the company that had been cooperating with our group before was about to take action, and I just happened to take over."
"So this company was engaged in foreign trade before?"
"Yes, it's just that I made some changes after taking over. Now I know a lot about the fields involved, and I'm also transforming into e-commerce."
I was silent for a while and then asked her: "Can you help us open the European market?"
"Do you believe me?"
Of course I believe it. I believe in An Lan unconditionally.
Although a lot of unpleasantness happened between us, those unpleasantness were all based on emotions.
I absolutely trust her when it comes to work.
I nodded heavily, and then said to her: "Our current idea is to enter the European market first, set up a branch there, and then develop logistics and commerce step by step."
"No problem. When I come back this time, I not only want to establish a network in the country, but also to be in line with world trade. Your current thoughts coincide with mine."
"so coincidental?"
"So, we are your only choice."
"Okay, I'll think about it."
An Lan smiled and said: "You are still thinking about it, what is there to consider?"
"You know, Wang Yi"
An Lan said "Oh" and said, "Okay, I understand, then you should think about it!"
I said "hmm" and asked her again: "Is the place I went to yesterday the headquarters of your company?"
"Yes! I live there now too."
I smiled and said, "I think you really like this garden style. You did it in Chongqing before, and you still do it now in Chengdu."
"Do you just understand me?"
I chuckled, suddenly remembered something, and asked her: "By the way, an accident happened when you and Chen Min were together that day. Did that group of people come to you specifically?"
An Lan nodded and replied, "Yes."
"Are they from the Antonsen faction?"
"Who else but him?"
I took a breath and said, "What is your situation now?"
"Both situations, Antonsen and I have broken up now. He doesn't want to make it easy for me, and I won't make it easy for him."
"Then who owns your An's Group now?"
An Lan suddenly let out a long sigh, paused for a while and then said: "It seems that you didn't pay attention to the international news. The An's Group was disbanded three months ago."
"Ah?!" I was shocked. The car was waiting at a red light. I turned around and looked at An Lan in disbelief.
She looked at me calmly, nodded, and said calmly: "Actually, this is all foreseeable. An's family has been falling apart since my father passed away. It's like a big tree. If the root is broken, the whole tree will be destroyed."
The tree will begin to wither little by little, starting with the leaves, and eventually the whole tree will dry up and collapse.”
I don't know what An Lan's state of mind was like when she described this to me. That was the empire her father had built with her own hands, and it was also something she had been protecting.
But now it's falling apart like this. Although I can't empathize with it, I still feel a little uncomfortable.
In the silence, An Lan spoke again: "Although An's tree has dried up, it has not completely fallen yet. The current situation is that Antonsen holds some sporadic resources, and my mother and I hold the
Most of the resources, I gave those resources in my hands to my mother."
"So, you are alone now that you have returned to China?"
"Um."
I suddenly didn’t know what to say, so I was silent for a while before saying again: “Then why does Antonsen still come to target you? It’s no longer necessary now, right?”
"It's not necessary anymore, so he jumped over the wall in a hurry."
"I don't quite understand."
"To put it simply, he was desperate and wanted to use some despicable means to blackmail me and my mother."
I paused and said suddenly: "So you are actually in danger now, right?"
"You can say that."
"and you"
As soon as I opened my mouth, An Lan answered: "Don't worry, I'm safe now, and I'm not that stupid."
"I know you're not stupid, but I'm afraid that just like that day, if Adif didn't bring someone, it might be difficult."
"That kind of thing will never happen again, and Antonsen should be in peace for a while."
I was silent for a while and then said: "Did you know? In fact, he has been targeting me? Including some time ago, he sent someone to take some photos, which completely slandered me, causing me to spend millions to solve this matter. Now
I don’t know if I will do anything else in the future.”
"Do you know now why I didn't contact you?"
I was stunned and subconsciously looked at her in the rearview mirror.
Just when I was stunned, An Lan suddenly shouted: "Brake the brakes!"
