That night, Zheng Duoduo went straight to Xinyuan after get off work.
Everyone happily invited him to have dinner with him.
Zheng Duoduo quietly looked at Xue Ling and found that she was helping to set the tableware. She was surrounded by elders. He suppressed what was in his heart and sat down to have dinner with everyone.
Xue’s father quickly asked Lao Li to make Zheng Duoduo’s favorite shrimp dumplings and crab roe buns, and warmly asked him to eat more.
"That's a lot. Did Tietou go to Wenguo again?"
Zheng Duoduo nodded: "He went south two days ago and said he would be back next week or the week after.
His fruit orchard is very large, and the weather has been hot recently. Several kinds of fruits happened to be ripe, and there were not enough workers to pick them.
He said he wanted to recruit more workers and buy some picking machines and put them into use."
Cheng Tianyuan heard it on the other side and said with a smile: "He is doing fruit business here now, and he will definitely come back more often.
Sister Achun will definitely be very happy."
"Um."
Zheng Duoduo smiled and said: "Auntie and I are very happy.
With one more person, even if he is busy coming in and out, the house will still be much more lively."
Cheng Tianyuan asked curiously: "Is his business going to be tilted this way?"
"Maybe not."
Zheng Duoduo explained: "Tietou is very calm-minded. If he is not completely sure, he will not do it.
Auntie said that she would be very satisfied if he could come and stay at home for a few days in a month or two.
However, I think Tietou seems to have such a plan.
The industry his factory is engaged in is already quite old, and he said he can only earn two or three years at most."
Father Xue raised his white eyebrows and lowered his voice: "Little Tietou... did you make a lot of money?
I think the car he drives costs at least one hundred or two million."
"Oh! Is it so expensive?"
Mother Xue on the other side exclaimed: "I looked at that car as quite expensive, and I had a gut feeling that it wasn't cheap. I didn't expect it to cost so much!"
Dad Xue said: "If you don't understand cars, of course you don't know the specific price."
"Is it possible that you know?"
Mother Xue didn't bother to fight back.
Father Xue chuckled and explained: "I didn't know at first either.
Yangyang saw it and told me."
Zheng Duoduo gnawed on the rice cake, "More than 1.6 million, he sent the money and asked me to help buy it."
"Tietou should have made a lot of money there."
Dad Xue gave a thumbs up, "He and Achun are both frugal people. If they can spend more than one million yuan to buy a car at once, they must be very wealthy. They treat more than one million yuan as small change."
Zheng Duoduo shook his head: "I don't know exactly how much you earn.
As you know, Tietou is very good at hiding secrets, and he won't let others know about them casually.
Even if his aunt asks him, he may not be able to tell."
"You don't know the approximate number?"
Father Xue kept asking questions.
Zheng Duoduo thought about it seriously and said: "His factory has been open for several years, and the annual income is said to be very good, until the past two years it has been slightly worse.
His fruit orchards are so big, and there are two of them, so they are probably very profitable.
I heard from my aunt that he owns several houses in Wenguo. In addition to the large villa where he lives, there are several houses and rows of shops in the center of the capital.
In addition, he seems to have invested in the oil industry in a joint venture with others in Wenguo - it should be very profitable.
I guess he has at least ten fingers."
"A billion?"
Father Xue stared in disbelief.
Zheng Duoduo suppressed a smile: "I really don't know the specific number.
This is my guess, he can have that kind of investment ability - this number should be there."
"Sure enough, a hero comes from a young boy!"
Father Xue gave a thumbs up and praised with a smile: "You are so young and your achievements are already so extraordinary.
The future will definitely be better!”
Cheng Tianyuan smiled and said warmly: "Tietou has been very good at making and saving money since he was a child.
I remember that every day after he came home from school and finished his homework, he would go downstairs to the mall to pick up cartons and plastic bottles. Every two days he would pick up a big bag and sell it for money.
Sister Achun said that his tuition fees were all saved by himself, and he usually bought stationery and other things with his own savings."
"Youth is amazing."
Xue’s mother smiled and said, “It’s great to grow up!”
Liu Ying gnawed on the chicken wings and muttered: "That's right! It's amazing!"
Cheng Tianyuan gave the old man a piece of green vegetables with chopsticks and whispered: "Mom, don't eat too much meat. It's time to eat vegetables."
Liu Ying said "oh oh" twice and continued to chew the meat.
Xue Ling helped bring freshly baked crab roe buns and shrimp dumplings, and greeted with a smile: "Duoduo, these are specially prepared for you, eat more!"
"Thank you sister, thank you uncle."
Zheng Duo has a great time.
After dinner, the three old people went to the back garden to enjoy the shade.
After Cheng Tianyuan answered a call from a customer, he hurried out.
Xue Ling was sitting in the kitchen, leisurely waiting for Xiao Li's dessert.
"The papaya and white fungus soup is very good, you can try it later."
Zheng Duoduo laughed dumbly: "Sister, you know things like a god, you should know why I am here."
"How can I be that powerful!"
Xue Ling shook his head: "I'm not sure whether you're here to beg for mercy or to say thank you!"
Zheng Duoduo laughed again: "Sister, you know."
"how?"
Xue Ling asked: "Did she question you?
Or should I lower my profile and ask for your help?"
Zheng Duoduo lowered his eyes and sighed helplessly.
"She said...her cousin told us everything about us, and she didn't know about it beforehand.
She also said that she understands the difference between public and private affairs, but it is a pity that I pretended to be public and private, and excluded her."
Xue Ling chuckled: "It's okay, just blame everything on me.
As long as she can keep working in the branch, if she can't keep working in the branch, then she will resign and let her do whatever she wants."
"This - after all, it's just our private matter."
Zheng Duoduo smiled bitterly: "I never thought it would cause such a big fuss."
Xue Ling shook his head: "It was indeed a private matter at first, but now it's different. She intentionally or unintentionally spread bad rumors about you, which has already had an impact on the reputation of the group leader, so I have to guard against it.
Duoduo, there is no absolute public and private in this world, and there is no absolute distinction between public and private.
Let me tell the truth, if you were not Uncle Zheng’s child, but my younger brother who grew up under my watch, how could I entrust such a large group to you at will?
Your abilities are very good, and I trust you because you are not an outsider, so I dare to choose you as my successor."
Zheng Duoduo was silent for a moment, then nodded slowly.
"Sister Lingling, I understand.
It's me... I'm too entangled in the word 'distinguish between public and private', and instead I am burdened by this word."
Xue Ling smiled and patted his shoulder.
"Smart! As long as you understand.
Remember, true letting go and letting go is not caring at all.
No matter what she says or does, you take it calmly. Only then will you be truly relieved.
Duoduo, a good horse never looks back, you know this."
"Um."
Zheng Duoduo finally smiled: "Sister, thank you.
I know what to do."
Xue Ling nodded with great relief: "Stop talking and have some dessert with me."
"Sister, I'm already very full!"
"Half a bowl?
It's very light and sweet, it's just soup, and it tastes almost like a drink."
