Opposite Xu Donghai's desk sat a middle-aged man.
His hair was neatly combed, his skin was fair and well-maintained, his eyebrows, nose, and mouth were almost flawless. Apart from the light in his eyes that was a little more sinister, the smile on his face could even give others a sense of unsuspecting intimacy. Perhaps it was because of his noble birth and good upbringing, the middle-aged man's posture on the chair was very natural. Even Xu Donghai, the number one figure in Dong Mountain City, had to admit that if it was just based on the temperament of a leader, the middle-aged man was more than a notch above him. Although Xu Donghai knew that the middle-aged man in front of him was just a red businessman who held real power in a state-owned enterprise.
"Old Xu, how do you want me to explain this to second brother when I get back?" The middle-aged man's voice was full of regret, but Chen Xi could hear a hidden threat in it.
"This is my fault, if second brother asks, fourth brother, please help me say that I, Xu Dayan, don't have the face to see him! The next time we meet, he can punish me as he pleases! As for the old man, I really don't know how to report to him … Actually, I've always wanted to find a time to go to the capital and personally apologize to the old man, but I'm afraid I'll disturb the old man's rest! " Xu Donghai's voice was also full of remorse, if it was someone who didn't know him, they might misunderstand that Xu Donghai was too guilty and jumped off the balcony of a building to apologize!
Hearing Xu Donghai's words, Chen Xi didn't dare to move on the surface, but she secretly gave him a thumbs up in her heart.
The middle-aged man smiled: "Old Xu, you're exaggerating, this has nothing to do with you, but our family's matters have troubled you. I also know that it's very difficult for you to be stuck in the middle! Actually, it's very normal for the Cheng family to have such thoughts, but we're not their enemy. For a long time, our two families were allies, our old man and their old man were even comrades in the trenches! "
Xu Donghai nodded: "That's true, I wonder if the two old men still play chess together. In the past, we always watched them play chess, and no one was willing to admit defeat!"
The middle-aged man sighed softly. "There aren't many of them now. The two elders are getting older, and their health isn't very good. This year, we wanted to find a time to get together, but the illness struck and we almost didn't make it. Because of this, the old master thought of his great-grandson. After all, they were related by blood! We are family members whose bones are broken but whose tendons are still connected. We have done a lot of wrong things in the past, but can we ease our relationship for the sake of the old master? Old Xu, you should understand that sometimes marriage is a big deal, and people like us really can't be free. For example, when you and Sister Deng got married, it wasn't a blind date arranged by your parents. You just fell in love with each other, so it was considered a free love. It's hard to say what happened in the past. We were right and wrong, but no matter what, we are a family after all! "
Chen Xi knew this person was eloquent, but she didn't expect him to play the family card.
He took out such tricks as blood is thicker than water, blood is connected, and so on.
How formidable!
However, apart from admiration, there was also a hint of disdain.
If you're really related by blood, why do you have to wait until now to recognize your kin? When Lin Dong wasn't famous, why didn't you come earlier? At that time, he was a poor student who lost his grandmother. Other than Cheng Mingge, he had no one to rely on. In order to survive, he was forced to work everywhere … At this time, why didn't you think of your family?
Illegitimate children at least have some care!
They don't have a title, but secretly give some money or something, at least a living can be guaranteed!
You guys are not even as good as illegitimate children! In order to satisfy the marriage, there was no need for such a son to exist. Now that this poor abandoned child grew up and became a world-class mad scientist, the old master finally remembered that he had a great-grandson? Why didn't he think of it earlier?
So no wonder Cheng Mingge was angry. This matter, even if you had a hundred mouths, you wouldn't be able to reason it out!
Although he was complaining, Chen Xi didn't dare to say this out loud.
With his level, he didn't have the right to speak.
Xu Donghai saw that Chen Xi was distracted and secretly stared at him. The elite level boss hasn't left yet, and you're not even dealing with it properly?
Chen Xi was immediately woken up by the boss' stare and returned to his respectful and well-behaved appearance. But he didn't plan on dealing with it. He was just a small secretary, if he really dared to open his mouth and say that Boss Xu was sick and had a sudden and intermittent mental disorder, he reckoned that the other party would immediately slap him!
This kind of thing depended on who said it.
If the other party was a commoner, he could bluff, but to deal with a crocodile like middle-aged man, he didn't dare.
"Right now there's already some momentum, but you can't rush it. You know, sometimes people are angry, and if you force it, it'll be uncomfortable. If you wait for a part of it to dissipate, and then use a tactful method, it might have a good effect." Of course, Xu Donghai wouldn't say Lin Dong's attitude directly. What he needed to do now was to send this middle-aged man away and not care about this troublesome matter anymore. Regarding Lin Dong's identity, no matter what he did, it would be wrong. If he helped Cheng Mingge, he would definitely be angry, and Lin Dong wouldn't be happy either. The old man recognized his great-grandson, and the other great-grandchildren in the family would definitely not be happy with a competitor. As for the wife who had a great-grandson and was waiting for her son to take over, she might be the most angry.
So, whether this matter could be done or not, it was a difficult and unrewarding task.
First of all, it might not be a hundred percent success rate.
Even if it succeeded, it would definitely cause more trouble.
Xu Donghai felt that right now, it would be best if he was blind and couldn't see anything. That would be the wisest move.
"Regarding the matter of recognizing relatives, we still need your help, Old Xu. Your relationship with him and the Cheng family is not ordinary. We've thought about it, and we still need to entrust this matter to you!" The middle-aged man refused to let go of Xu Donghai.
"Mayor Zhong and I will do our best to make this good thing happen." Xu Donghai dragged Zhong Zhihui into the water. If Zhong Zhihui knew that Xu Donghai was so shameless, he might smash the cup in the office and curse. But as a parent, this matter was related to them, so there was no way to avoid it. They could only delay it one step at a time.
What would happen in the future, Xu Donghai didn't want to think about it.
But now.
He would do everything he could to keep himself busy so that he wouldn't have the time to participate … Even if he had to go to Lin Dong's' ke 'house, he couldn't appear too enthusiastic, lest the other party bore a grudge against him.
Xu Donghai promised and patted his chest, and finally sent the middle-aged man out of the door.
As soon as the middle-aged man left, Xu Donghai almost collapsed on the chair.
Chen Xi wiped the cold sweat on her forehead: "That was close, I thought he was going to fall out on the spot, I didn't expect him to leave!"
Xu Donghai frowned: "He definitely won't fall out. After all, he's from a big family, and he has a sense of propriety. And the fourth brother is very shrewd, even if he's angry, he'll still keep a smile on his face. But it's precisely because of this that people are scary. A dog that barks doesn't bite, but a poisonous snake that bites without a sound is the real enemy! This matter won't pass so easily. The gene medicine in Lin Dong and Cheng Mingge's hands is too tempting. Those who have already stretched their hands into all industries to reap the benefits, there's no reason for them to let go of this mountain of endless resources! "
"I'm afraid they don't have the teeth to bite Lin Dong and Cheng Mingge? Hmph, I think they're looking for death! Not everyone in this world is a commoner, not everyone is a target for them to set rules and reap benefits at will. "Chen Xi sneered.
"So they're also very cautious, this is just a small test!" Xu Donghai stood up, opened the window, and looked at the sky: "The real storm is far from here!"
"It wasn't easy to make Dong Mountain like this, whoever dares to destroy it, I'll definitely fight with my life!" Chen Xi's voice was low, but her attitude was firm.
"Yes, this is our home, even though it sounds like overestimating ourselves, I'm still willing to fight to the death." Xu Donghai nodded.
"Boss, don't you think we're a bit stupid? Like a mantis trying to stop a chariot! "Chen Xi let out a long sigh.
"Mantis trying to stop a chariot is courage!" Xu Donghai disagreed.
"Then let's try to be heroes, even if it's only for a few seconds!" Chen Xi suddenly laughed: "Maybe we'll die a horrible death, but as long as we think about how we've done something big in this life, it's not a loss!"
"Sacrifice is a must, some rules, some orders, can't be exchanged without blood and sacrifice. Even our ancestors, through blood and sacrifice, exchanged for this great land. Now a lot of benefits have been stolen, we're powerless to do anything, we've already let down those ancestors who shed blood for their descendants. When a hope needs to be protected by fresh blood, some of us must stand up and sacrifice ourselves. Otherwise, we may miss the best or even the last chance! "Xu Donghai looked at the rising sun in the sky and stretched out his hand, allowing the warm sunlight to shine on his palm.
"What I'm most afraid of is that when we fall, there will be a group of villains who will steal the fruits of our blood and sacrifice!" This was what Chen Xi was most worried about.
"It doesn't matter, this world will never lack fools, especially our country, we don't lack fools like us. We're not alone, haha, no matter what the result is, as long as we think it's worth it, that's enough. "Xu Donghai laughed.
"Following a boss like you is really bad luck, not only will I not get promoted, I might even lose my life!" Chen Xi walked to the table, picked up the teapot, and poured herself a cup.
"There's no way to get promoted with me, but the days are exciting, it's quite interesting!" Xu Donghai laughed even more happily.
"I'd rather live a more comfortable life!" Chen Xi snapped back.
"It's too late to regret now, you've already boarded my boat!" Xu Donghai walked over and patted Chen Xi's shoulder. "Be optimistic, maybe we can win. Although the probability is not even one in a million, that kid Lin Dong always creates miracles. It's hard to say what will happen in the future. If we win, then you'll be the one to win!"
"Lin Dong winning is not surprising, but me … I hope I can live until then!" Chen Xi was very confident in Lin Dong, but for herself, she wasn't confident enough.
