What kind of person is Su Daqiang?
Willful and selfish.
Stingy and greedy.
Do things without any idea.
There are almost no advantages in this old man. Except for his only good thing, Su Daqiang, who likes to keep accounts, has no thoughts about his children at all.
After his wife passed away, he just wanted to live happily for himself.
Are you uncomfortable staying at Mingcheng's house?
Not really.
on the contrary.
Su Mingcheng and Zhu Li treated their old father extremely well during this period. Mingcheng did it because of what his eldest brother said to him before he left. Now he has to take the initiative to shoulder the burden on the shoulders of the men in the Su family. Responsibilities.
After the death of the mother, the father must be taken care of.
As for Julie, because of the thick account book, all her debts and gratitude towards her mother-in-law were placed on her father-in-law.
This young couple took very good care of Su Daqiang.
Not even forcing the wild old boy to take a shower.
They all agreed that it was the two of them who were responsible for taking care of their father.
But unfortunately, even so, Su Daqiang still caused a farce of food poisoning from eating too many oysters.
Now he is clamoring that he wants to live in a big house.
Lu Ze briefly talked to Mingyu about the recent situation at home, and the latter just smiled dumbly after listening: "Brother, our dad is not a simple old man. If you keep following him, he will only It gets worse.”
Lu Ze smiled and nodded: "Mingyu, do you know what our dad is most afraid of?"
Su Mingyu's mother's old face appeared in her mind. Now she has gradually begun to let go of the old traces in her heart, and said directly: "Of course he is afraid of our mother. Over the years, he has not dared to fart loudly at home. Now He wants this and that because his mother is gone and he feels that no one in the world can control him anymore."
It can be said that Mingyu has a clear understanding of this cowardly and selfish old father.
Hearing Mingyu's comments about her father-in-law, Wu Fei's expression did not change much as she was eating with her baby in her arms. Wu Fei, under the influence of her husband, knew what kind of character her father-in-law was. Mingyu had been at home since he was a child. Of course, Su Daqiang, the old father, has to bear half of the responsibility for what he has experienced.
It was a good lunch.
Xiaomi gradually became familiar with this strange aunt. When she went out, she was held in Mingyu's arms. The little girl kept pinching her aunt's mouth, as if wondering how someone in this world could have such a big mouth. Xiaomi His clear eyes were full of doubts.
"Brother."
"I should be in the Bay Area these days."
"When you and sister-in-law are fine, I'll treat you to dinner."
After calling a car early, Mingyu went downstairs and took the car to the booked star hotel to rest.
Lu Ze drove his wife and daughter home.
Although the current family level has increased with the promotion of the male head of the family, Lu Ze and Wu Fei have no plans to change cars or houses yet. They still have the familiar white Subaru Forester.
Wu Fei and Xiaomi were sitting in the back row, with a hint of doubt in her eyes.
"Honey, isn't Mingyu the leader of their company?"
"It's not easy to come to the Bay Area to visit the two of us. Why do I hear that she wants to stay here for a long time?"
"Mingyu probably won't have such a long vacation at this time."
Women are naturally attentive.
Wu Fei, a good wife, mother and housekeeper, noticed something was wrong.
Lu Ze vaguely knew why Mingyu came to the United States this time. He did not explain in detail: "Mingyu probably just took a vacation. I have been taking a break from various projects in the past few days. It happened that the company also wanted to Let me slow down the progress first."
"Huh? Why?"
After hearing Lu Ze's words, Wu Fei instantly became uneasy.
Now her husband is the anchor of the family, and Wu Fei doesn't want to have any problems with her husband's work.
"Nothing."
"The big boss just had a conversation with me a few days ago, and what he meant was that he wanted me to be the person in charge of a certain region."
Wu Fei's face was full of shock: "Really?"
"Then, hubby, doesn't your situation qualify as a promotion?"
It had been less than three months since her husband had just joined the Oracle headquarters from a branch. Wu Fei never expected that her husband would now be promoted again, and he would reach half the leadership level in one step.
Wu Fei felt worried and happy at the same time.
It's nice to see my husband making such progress.
Of course, what worries me is that the two of them may have to be separated again in the future, and they will only see each other a handful of times a month.
Although her husband has mentioned the idea of hiring a maid at home, Wu Fei is still not used to this kind of life of being served. The most important thing is that she enjoys the process of working for her husband and daughter at home. If she is allowed to be a wife, Not to mention how awkward it is.
...
After spending a few days together, Mingyu quickly understood the rhythm of life of her eldest brother's family now. There was indescribable envy in her eyes. When Mingyu was in college, it was this kind of warm life for a family of three. .
But unfortunately, reality hit her heart again and again.
Just like now when she was drinking tea, chatting and enjoying the weekend afternoon with her elder brother, she answered the phone, the leisurely expression on her face changed instantly, and she quickly said to the elder brother in front of her: "Brother, I may have to return to China early. .”
This time Mingyu came to the United States ostensibly to review the foreign environment for Zhongcheng Group and make comprehensive preparations for Zhongcheng's listing in advance, but in fact it was paid for by his master, Mr. Meng.
Mingyu nominally had more than half a month to eat, drink and have fun here, and it was in the name of the company. Most people would be so happy when faced with this kind of publicly funded vacation.
But in fact, Mingyu knew that the master deliberately pushed him away.
Because her good friend Liu Qing, the general manager of Jiangbei Company, was also sent to the northwest region to control the work there. In comparison, Mingyu's current situation is undoubtedly much better.
He was gentle towards her, but he could be said to be ruthless in taking over power from Liu Qing.
Jiangbei and Jiangnan companies are too important to the group.
Moreover, most of the staff in these two companies were promoted by Mingyu and Liu Qing.
"What's wrong?"
Lu Ze did know what the content of the call Mingyu just answered was.
It's almost as if something happened to Zhongcheng's leader, Meng Zhiyuan.
This old fox deliberately disappeared at the critical moment before the listing, hoping to attract the fleas and moths in the company, and then came out at the last moment to burn the company moths with a raging fire.
"I don't know what happened to my master. I couldn't find anyone at the critical moment."
"Our company is now under the control of that annoying Vice President Sun, who has begun to set up some kind of supervision system in my Jiangnan company. My subordinates can't handle the documents and goods at all. Everything must be approved by the supervisor. "
Mingyu couldn't help but feel a little impatient in his tone.
The call she just answered was from Liu Qing.
At this time in China, it was around five o'clock in the morning. From this, it can be seen that Liu Qing's side most likely just learned the news. How could their sales industry withstand the approvals of the supervisors?
When customers want goods, they pay attention to timeliness.
Even if the shipment is delayed for a few hours, people will have complaints in their hearts.
Problems will arise in any relationship no matter how good it is.
Liu Qing was sent to the northwest, resulting in a serious lack of information. During this time, Mingyu didn't pay attention to the company's affairs at all. She knew that the master might have hidden intentions in taking over power, but even so, she would still accept this arrangement.
Because Mingyu got to know this master during the most difficult time, and was finally able to sit in the position he is in today.
Mingyu didn't have any nostalgia for the power in her hands at all. She just hoped that the people in Jiangnan Company under her control could have a good ending, but she didn't expect that bastard Vice President Sun would come out to stir up trouble.
Mingyu can accept the arrangement of his master taking over power, but he absolutely cannot accept such a person dictating his own Jiangnan Company.
Lu Ze's mind quickly imagined the direction of the whole thing after Mingyu returned to China.
After this sister returned, she fell into a fight within the company. Meng Zhiyuan's original idea of letting his apprentice stay out of the situation abroad was shelved. Mingyu's provocation forced him to pretend to be seriously ill.
Make simple problems more complicated.
After all, Meng Zhiyuan, who was in business, did not expect that this apprentice would be so sincere to him.
Mingyu, who has followed Meng Zhiyuan since he was eighteen years old, the relationship between him and his master is no longer a simple boss and employee. Mingyu, who has not felt the warmth of family since he was a child, feels the care of his elders in Lao Meng.
Meng Zhiyuan knew Mingyu was loyal to him.
But he didn't realize how far this loyalty had gone.
Lao Meng's slight mistake led to a series of events that followed.
Later, the firm started the annual audit of Zhongcheng Group in advance. In order to prevent the audit at a critical moment, Mingyu used the relationship with Zhu Li, the person in charge of the audit, to temporarily help the company avoid the audit.
When Mingyu discovered that her second sister-in-law Zhu Li was actually the project leader of the audit of Zhongcheng Company, in order to prevent the power-seizing plan initiated by Vice President Sun and to protect the interests of Zhongcheng Group and President Meng, she made a mistake on the spot at the audit briefing meeting. He made his relationship with Zhu Li clear and asked his second sister-in-law Zhu Li to avoid this audit.
The audit avoidance system is a preventive measure beforehand to prevent Mingyu and Zhuli from affecting the audit results due to their family relationship. Regardless of whether it affects the audit results, they must be recused in order to ensure the fairness of the audit results.
Zhu Li knew that Mingyu's request was very reasonable. She did not find out beforehand that any relatives were working as managers in the audit company.
Julie's feeling of grievance and sadness after the incident was better described as regret and guilt over her serious omissions in work and low-level mistakes she made.
However, Su Mingcheng, a fool, didn't think so.
He just felt that it was Su Mingyu, a vicious woman, who messed up his wife's big project. He was so stupid that he didn't know that if someone found out about it afterwards, the consequences of the whole thing would be even more serious.
Not only would the wife be unemployed and the audit report made invalid, but Julie would probably be permanently deprived of her qualifications to practice law.
Mingyu was severely beaten by Su Mingcheng in the garage because of this incident.
After that, Mingcheng was sent directly to the detention center.
The relationship between him and Zhu Li was also on the verge of being broken in this series of events. The failure of the investment made Su Mingcheng feel that he was the most failed man in the world. Without the care and help of his mother, the two finally broke up. Divorce ends.
The butterfly's wings seemed to start flapping from the phone call Mingyu just received.
Lu Ze couldn't help but feel that the whole thing became interesting.
Because he himself seems to be beside this invisible butterfly now.
"Mingyu."
"Don't rush back yet."
"I think it might not be as bad as you think."
Mingyu, who was already preparing to book a flight back to his country, was stunned for a moment, then raised his head to look at his elder brother in the seat in front of him. The afternoon sunshine in California shone through the clear glass windows and fell on Lu Ze's face. He held the teacup and savored the aroma of the tea. Lu Ze showed a calm and composed expression.
Feeling her elder brother's demeanor at this moment, Su Mingyu's originally anxious and panicked heart became a little calmer.
During this period of time together, Mingyu knew that her eldest brother was not a simple person. It was only later that she learned that his eldest brother was still a influential figure in Silicon Valley. During this time, the South Bay Area was discussing that man.
Ruthless Chinese.
Su Mingyu was very surprised when she found out that this figure was actually her eldest brother.
But then I thought about it.
Big brother is big brother.
He is her big brother at all times.
"Brother."
"You mean the current situation is still under control?"
Lu Ze nodded slightly: "Perhaps this is all Mr. Meng of yours fishing for law enforcement. Now Zhongcheng is in a critical period before it goes public. Do you think a person like your master would watch Vice President Sun ruin his career over the years? Bloodbaby Company?"
Su Mingyu cleared away the messy emotions in her heart and took a sip of the slightly bitter Pu'er tea in the cup.
The master's sincerity to the public is no different from an old father's treatment of his precious son.
Mingyu knew that her master's biggest wish in recent years was to take Zhongcheng to the public market, so when she heard on the phone that Vice President Sun was deliberately causing trouble at this time, her first thought was to go back and stop it because she was concerned and confused.
Her elder brother's words made her calm down quickly, and she instantly turned back to the extremely smart Su Mingyu.
"Two possibilities."
"The first is that my master really has a problem now and he can no longer take charge of things. People like Vice President Sun come out to fight for power."
"The second is that my master hid on purpose. He wanted to see what Zhongcheng would be like after he was gone. It would be best to pull out those uncertain people from the company so as not to affect the final outcome. Listed."
Su Mingyu frowned tightly again.
"But, brother."
"If something like this happens to Zhongcheng now, it will definitely affect the listing after the year."
"Because the big investment companies that are interested in us are definitely paying attention to Zhongcheng's situation now."
Lu Ze smiled slightly.
"Mingyu."
"You've discovered the key point."
