Cao Jianguo has finished handling the matters at hand and is rushing back to the villa by car.
Although the family has never been involved in the company's affairs, now that they are done with their work, they naturally need to give an explanation to the family.
To be precise, he wanted to give the old man an explanation.
Ahead, a car suddenly appeared, blocking the way.
The road up the mountain was originally a two-lane road, but this car was lying across the middle of the road. It was obviously blocking the road.
Cao Pingzhi got off the car in front and walked straight over. His face was gloomy and terrifying.
Bang bang bang.
He knocked on the cab window.
The driver opened the window.
"You, get down."
Cao Pingzhi said.
The driver turned to look at Cao Jianguo behind him.
Cao Jianguo waved his hand.
The driver got out of the car and walked far away to smoke.
Although he had driven Cao Jianguo's car for many years, he was considered half of the Cao family. No one usually regarded him as an outsider, but today, he saw that Cao Pingzhi was in a bad mood.
When father and son are discussing family matters, it would be inappropriate for him to stay aside.
Cao Ping got into the car, closed the window, sat in front, turned his head, with bloodshot eyes, and asked Cao Jianguo: "Dad, are you going up the mountain?"
"Didn't you see it?"
"Cao Ying is also on the mountain. Did you ask her to come back?" Cao Pingzhi asked with a gloomy face.
Cao Jianguo said: "It seems that you have gone up the mountain."
"That's right."
Cao Pingzhi tried his best to suppress his anger and asked: "You have been hiding everything from me recently. What do you mean? Am I not a member of the Cao family now?"
"What do you want to say?" Cao Jianguo frowned slightly.
Cao Pingzhi took a breath: "What do you mean by calling her back?"
"What do you think?"
"I know, you want to hand over the entire family to her, right?" Cao Pingzhi bit his lip and asked.
Cao Jianguo did not deny it, nodded and said: "Am I still qualified to run the company? Do I still have the face to run the company? If I hadn't listened to you, the company would not be where it is today. I regret it very much.
It’s not me, the family’s future is bright, but what about now?”
He said bitterly: "It's over, it's all over. The future of the family has been buried by my own hands. What else do I have left to continue to manage the company? It's better to leave it to her. This is our only chance."
"It's just that you suffered a little setback, and you have become so unmotivated? When encountering big things, you need to be calm. Isn't this what you have always taught me, and you have forgotten it?" Cao Pingzhi's voice became louder, and he could see that
Come out, he is now on the verge of an outbreak.
Cao Jianguo sighed: "I'm old. I shouldn't have held on to power. I was wrong before. Now, I want to make amends. I am the sinner of the family. Do you understand?"
"I don't understand!" Cao Pingzhi roared: "Even if you don't have the confidence to make a comeback, you can hand over the company to me, why should you give it to her? I am your son, I am your biological child, you can't do this!
"
"You are too young. I can't be so selfish anymore. Your surname is Cao, and she is also surnamed Cao. Facts have proved that she is not only more qualified to run the family than you, she is also much better than me. Just talking about vision, we are far away
Not as good as him. If it weren't for him, our real estate company would have lost everything. Now the assets of Cao's Real Estate have more than doubled. How long has it been since? It's all her credit. Doesn't this prove that she is more powerful than him?
Are you better?"
"No!"
Cao Ping slapped the steering wheel, and then punched it hard several times.
Beep beep beep...
The sound of the car horn is very harsh.
In the distance, the driver was smoking a cigarette, glanced here, and then turned his head, as if he didn't hear it at all.
"I have the confidence to bring glory to my family again. I have determined since I was a child to make my family surpass the Chen family, surpass the Zheng family, surpass the Luo family. I can do it, I will definitely do it. This has been my ambition since I was a child. You are like this now
Doing it will ruin my life and my dream. What should I do in the future? What should I do? Go and do it for her?"
Cao Pingzhi was a little hysterical.
"What's wrong with the attack? It's all for the sake of the family."
Cao Jianguo reprimanded: "I just pampered you too much and made you so proud. Just because of your pride, I can't leave the family to you."
"I don't allow you to do this. You failed. Now it's my turn. Didn't you also say that you are old? This is the world of young people. You won't understand." Cao Pingzhi roared.
Cao Jianguo looked at his son with a complicated expression.
He didn't speak.
The father and son just faced each other.
After a long time, he sighed: "Go down."
"No, you must promise me."
"roll!"
Cao Jianguo suddenly roared.
Cao Pingzhi trembled with fright.
He slammed the steering wheel again, got out of the car, and slammed the door.
Bang!
The car door is closed.
Cao Pingzhi drove away in his car.
The driver got on the bus and asked carefully: "Do you want to continue going up the mountain, Mr. Cao?"
"Go up the mountain."
Cao Jianguo closed his eyes, his eyes a little astringent.
…
In the villa, Mr. Cao was sitting in the courtyard with a pot of tea next to him, listening to a play.
After Tang Xiaobao's conditioning, Mr. Cao's body was originally in good condition.
But now, I seem to be much older, and I still cough from time to time.
Cao Ying sat aside and looked at her grandfather. She sighed in her heart and felt even more distressed.
The old man loved her very much since she was a child, but he never treated her as a girl.
She knew this very well.
Such a big thing happened at home, and Cao Ying had been reluctant to ask anything. She wanted to pretend that she didn't know anything. Although she was deceiving herself, she came back as soon as the old man called her.
It's just that we haven't seen each other for a while, and the old man seems to be getting older again.
Cao Jianguo walked in.
Cao Ying didn't look at him, her eyes were a little indifferent. It was impossible to say that she didn't have any complaints in her heart.
After all, her surname is Cao.
The Cao family has always been united, which is why it became so strong later on.
Of course, it has nothing to do with being strong now.
A skinny camel is stronger than a horse, but now the Cao family may still have many resources in the political and military circles, but economically, they are about to be drained.
Old Mrs. Cao narrowed his eyes and glanced at Cao Jianguo, then continued to close his eyes and hummed Peking Opera, as if he had not seen his son come back at all.
Cao Jianguo just stood there, saying nothing, silent.
It's windy and quite cool today.
Cao Jianguo was wearing a suit. It was quite thick at first, but now it looks a little bleak.
He stood in the wind, motionless.
This reminded him of something.
When he was very young, he was always naughty and would make mistakes.
At that time, after he made a mistake, this was how he stood in front of his father, waiting to be punished.
Thinking of this, he felt quite warm in his heart.
But when he came back to his senses and looked at his father's old face and haggard expression, his heart ached again. (To be continued)
