"No!" Zheng Duoduo responded: "No, no! I'm working from home now and I'm coping pretty well."
Xue Ling also hesitated.
Zheng Duoduo emphasized again: "Sister Ling, it's really not necessary! Really! If I can't take care of it, then I will definitely ask you for help. I have been at home for a week now, and the group is still running. Everything is in order, my child.
It’s pretty good too.”
Cheng Huanran looked disapproving.
Xue Ling thought for a moment and explained: "It's not that I don't want to go, it's just that I haven't returned to the group for several years to take charge. I'm afraid that while I can't cope with it, it will also affect the normal operation of the group. If possible, we should maintain the original high-level stability.
, continuing with the original business model is the most relaxing state for Duoduo.”
The top management of the group should not be disturbed, otherwise it will make people panic and even affect the overall operation.
Zheng Duoduo has taken over the group for many years. Under his management, the group has been thriving and rising steadily.
Once the owner suddenly changes, no matter how good and real the reasons are, changes or turbulence in people's hearts are still inevitable.
Once such a situation occurs, Duoduo's future pressure will only increase, which will increase his burden and will also be a burden for her.
She had given up on the group for several years, and suddenly she had to adapt to Duoduo's model when she returned. It was a challenge for her, and a big one at that.
She is already old and is not an energetic young person. She has lost her ability to learn and adapt, and she can no longer show off her talents.
She still has this bit of self-awareness.
It’s not that I won’t help, it’s that I can’t help anymore and it will even bring more burdens to him, so it’s better to refuse in advance.
"Yes." Zheng Duoduo had obviously considered this issue and said, "If I need Sister Ling's help, I will ask for it directly. Our relationship has long been without courtesy. If I need help, I will ask directly. There is no need to hide it.
.I really don’t need it.”
"What about life?" Xue Ling frowned and asked, "Where is Xiao Tong now? Does she continue to work in the group?"
Zheng Duoduo's face was solemn: "Yes, she insists on going to work every day. She...she doesn't live at home, she seems to be staying in a hotel outside."
"It seems?" Xue Ling sneered: "You are a couple, but you don't even know her whereabouts and residence? What kind of couple are you?"
Zheng Duoduo buried his head and did not dare to reply.
Xue Ling asked: "The child is sick and looks very haggard. Instead of supporting each other and facing it together as husband and wife, you are fighting among each other, fighting each other and causing internal friction among each other - can you be worthy of the child? Can you be worthy of your family?!"
Zheng Duoduo's eyes were red, but he still did not dare to respond.
Cheng Huanran on the side couldn't help but plead: "Mom, don't say too much. Brother Duoduo and the others definitely don't want this..."
"Don't want to?" Xue Ling snorted: "Then why is it like this?! The child is sick, he can't go to class, his wife is gone, the house is in a mess, and he can't even have a breakfast - the family has fallen to this point.
,Can’t I still talk about them?”
Then, she looked at Zheng Duoduo.
"I've known you since you were a teenager. To be honest, the money your father raised you with was all earned with me. When your family failed and your father was seriously ill, I contributed the money.
I worked hard and helped take care of you. The few remaining properties of your family were also saved by me. Duoduo, I watched you grow up, and I will train you as my own child. Even if others are
My wife and children are separated, and I won’t even say a word, because it has nothing to do with me, and I don’t bother to care. But you are different. Let me boast - I, Xue Ling, can still control you Zheng Duoduo, and I can talk about you Zheng Duoduo."
"Of course." Zheng Duoduo's eyes filled with tears: "Sister Ling, without you, without my mother, I wouldn't be where I am today... Don't say a few words to me, even if you beat me to death, I would be nothing.
Complain."
Xue Ling had a sullen face and asked: "Are you and Xiao Tong just having a normal quarrel? Or is it serious again? Tell me the truth!"
Zheng Duoduo didn't dare to hide it anymore and replied: "She...she said she wanted to divorce me and didn't want to live such a life."
"This kind of life?" Xue Ling frowned and asked, "How did she describe it? What kind of life was she pursuing?"
Zheng Duoduo replied: "She said that she likes the feeling of hard work and enjoys the joy of getting glory and money for her efforts, which makes her full of happiness and satisfaction. She regrets getting married so early and having children so early. The children are born every three days.
She had to take leave every time to take care of him when she was sick. She worked hard just to get ahead of others. Her children and family kept dragging her down. She also said that I didn’t understand her——"
"Don't understand?" Xue Ling interrupted him and asked, "What didn't you understand about her? What was the last quarrel about?"
Zheng Duoduo whispered: "She said that I cared too much about work and didn't focus on family... I said the same to her, but she didn't admit it. The last quarrel was because the child fell ill again, and I asked her to take leave.
She asked me to take leave. She said there was something at home, why should she make the sacrifice? Why not me? I said that since I earned more than her, she could just quit her job to take care of her children, and wait until her children are well before she can start working on her career. She scolded me.
She was selfish and scolded me for why I didn't resign. At the end of the argument, she said she wanted to divorce me, then turned around and left."
Cheng Huanran frowned upon hearing this and couldn't help but comment.
"Your temperaments are so similar, and you are both career-oriented people with a strong ambition... No wonder there is such a quarrel."
Zheng Duoduo sniffed and turned away his handsome face.
"She loves her career and is career-focused. In fact, I understand. The reason why she is given a job is because she needs to work and cannot be a full-time housewife at home. Originally, the children had my mother and nanny, so they didn't have to worry about anything. But I... didn't expect
My mother suddenly died during an epidemic. She was the backbone of the family. When she was gone, the family collapsed. When we were in Rongcheng, my father-in-law and mother-in-law helped take care of the child. Since returning to the imperial capital
, we have to take care of the child by ourselves. But we didn’t expect that the child would get sick again and again, which almost destroyed our mental state. Sigh... This conflict between her and I cannot be adjusted. "
"It's not that it can't be adjusted." Xue Ling shook his head slowly: "It's just that the timing was wrong and the environment didn't allow it, so it couldn't be adjusted."
Cheng Huanran rolled his eyes slightly and whispered: "When children are young, they need the company of their parents the most, especially their mothers. An An and I discussed it early on, and she will focus on her children and family for the time being. She has lacked maternal love since she was a child, and does not want her children to follow her.
The experience was painful, so she said she would take care of the children herself and accompany them until they passed the rebellious period. I think - you should negotiate from the beginning, and you should not quarrel or make trouble when you encounter problems and conflicts."
