After sending the message to his sister Chen Lan, Chen Hansheng put down his phone in disappointment. His parents-in-law were already sharpening their knives. He would only be able to rest for a day or two at most. Regardless of whether he stretched his neck or retracted his neck, he would be stabbed.
However, if Old Xiao really wanted to take action, the situation didn't seem to be suitable.
Chen Hansheng thought for a while and called his father.
Old Chen knew from Empress Dowager Liang that his son had come back to China. He thought that Chen Hansheng was sleeping to adjust to the time difference, so he only sent a message to confirm that Chen Hansheng had landed safely.
Old Chen wasn't in Jianye at this time. He went back to Harbor City last month to sign the relevant documents. In fact, he didn't need to be in such a hurry, because the Organization Department had specially said that everything should be done according to the convenience of the old comrades and cadres.
Even if it was a weekend, the organization department could go back to work overtime.
Since such a powerful organization was so polite, it must have been ordered by the leaders in the city. Those leaders of course did it for Chen Hansheng's sake.
First, they hoped that Nutshell Electronics could invest in their hometown to improve their GDP and political achievements.
Second, they hoped to deepen their personal relationship with Nutshell Chen.
Because some leaders' children didn't want to be officials and didn't have the talent to do business, many of them came back to work after studying abroad. Nutshell Electronics, Huawei, Alibaba, Tencent … These large private companies with a high growth ceiling and a certain social status were very popular.
Even so, Chen Zhaojun still went back to Harbor City. Even after finishing the procedures, he didn't go back to Jianye immediately.
Lv Yuqing, Shen Youchu, and Chen Zijin got along well with each other. Although their relationship was a little strange, it was indeed harmonious.
In order not to ruin the atmosphere, Old Chen simply stayed in Harbor City. He would only ask the driver of Nutshell Electronics to pick him up when he missed his eldest granddaughter.
"Toot, toot, toot …"
After a few rings, Chen Zhaojun answered the phone, "Hello."
"Hello." It was still a gentle second tone. In fact, at Old Chen's age, more people answered the phone with an accent on the fourth tone.
"Dad, what are you doing?"
Chen Hansheng asked.
This was probably the normal beginning of a call between parents and children. They could ask what the other party was doing without any scruples.
"Watering the flowers."
Chen Zhaojun didn't feel that such a question was abrupt. He replied slowly, "When your Auntie Xia was cleaning, she didn't take care of the plants. Many of the potted plants on the balcony have withered."
Chen Zhaojun and Liang Meijuan went to Jianye to take care of their granddaughter, so they left a copy of the house key to their neighbor, the fat auntie who was very long-winded and gossipy. At the same time, she also made lotus root clamps for Chen Hansheng.
These were all old neighbors who had been together for many years. Naturally, there was no problem with doing this. Aunt Xia would often help to clean up, but she missed the potted plants on the balcony.
"You seem to have a lot of free time now."
Chen Hansheng said with a smile, "I don't have to go to work. I'll take care of the flowers and plants. Then I'll go to the Calligraphy Association to play chess and drink tea. Those old colleagues must be very envious."
"They're not envious of my current state. They're just envious that I have a son who's doing big business."
Chen Zhaojun sighed. "When you were in school, people called you 'Old Chen's son'. Now that I'm out of the house, people introduce me as' Nutshell Chen Hansheng's father '. Social labels are constantly changing."
"That means I've made some achievements."
Chen Hansheng said, "When I reach your age in the future, I also hope that people will introduce me as' Chen Zijin 'or' Chen Zipei's father '."
The father and son chatted for a while, and the atmosphere was much warmer. After a while, Chen Hansheng clarified his concerns, saying that he did not want to be scolded by his father-in-law.
At first, Chen Zhaojun did not mind. "You've been beaten by your mother so many times. It doesn't matter if Old Xiao hits you a few times. If it's just physical pain, it's still acceptable."
Even though Chen Zhaojun was Chen Hansheng's father, he also felt that "exchanging children" was too much. Moreover, even if Xiao Hongwei hit him, he should be careful. Could it really be a one-for-one trade?
"Dad, it's different."
Chen Hansheng said with a wry smile, "I'm my mother's biological son. Even if she breaks the broom, I have to accompany her to buy a new one. However, if father-in-law and son-in-law hit each other, there will be more or less estrangement. How can we get along in the future?"
When Chen Hansheng pointed it out, Chen Zhaojun also understood. It turned out that Chen Hansheng was not afraid of being hit, but it was a problem of how to deal with it after the fight.
In fact, in a normal family relationship, it was not uncommon for a son-in-law to have conflicts with his father-in-law, or a son-in-law to have conflicts with his brother-in-law. Even with Chen Zhaojun's generous character, he and Chen Hansheng's uncles just tried to maintain a harmonious relationship as much as possible.
After all, every family had their own problems.
However, no matter how big the conflict was, the bottom line was that they could not hit each other. If they hit each other, the relationship would change.
Chen Hansheng and Xiao Rongyu were both only children. Naturally, there was no possibility of them having conflicts with their brother-in-law. However, if Old Xiao really slapped Chen Hansheng a few times, even if Chen Hansheng did not take it seriously, Director Xiao would still feel that it was inappropriate.
Chen Hansheng was not an ordinary person. He was now worth billions. When Nutshell went public, his value would skyrocket again. However, Xiao Hongwei was old and would retire sooner or later.
When the status of the two became more and more different, this matter would become clearer and clearer in Old Xiao's mind.
Chen Hansheng's plan for the future was that Xiao Rongyu's family would live in Jinjitang City, and Shen Youchu's family would live in Jinling Imperial Garden. Perhaps the two sides would not have any family gatherings, but Xiao Rongyu and Shen Youchu would not have any conflicts. The two babies could also study and play together, and they could live in whichever house they wanted.
If Old Xiao was estranged first, he would probably find a reason to retire in Harbor City and would not be willing to come to Jianye. Such an ending would be somewhat unsatisfactory.
Therefore, Chen Hansheng was worried about how to reasonably avoid this situation.
Chen Zhaojun was also experienced in dealing with people. After he understood, he said decisively, "Send a car to pick me up. I'll go to Jianye now to persuade Old Xiao."
"Okay!"
Chen Hansheng was waiting for this sentence. Seeing that his father took the initiative to take this responsibility, he also said gratefully, "Dad, thank you. You always have to clean up after me since I was young."
"There's no need to be so polite between father and son."
Old Chen smiled indifferently. After the laughter stopped, he asked, "Hansheng, do you know what your mother and I are most worried about?"
Chen Hansheng thought for a while, "Shen Youchu and Xiao Rongyu can't accept each other?"
Old Chen shook his head, "No."
Chen Hansheng said again, "Chen Zijin and Chen Zipei can't grow up together?"
Old Chen continued to shake his head, "No."
"Then what is it?"
Chen Hansheng himself was also confused. Besides these two problems, what else did his parents worry about?
"We're afraid that you'll be used to being unrestrained and can't settle down early."
Old Chen sighed and said, "We know your character best. Your mother can control your trivial matters, but she can't control your big matters. So we're worried that you've been playing outside all the time and have no intention of having children. If your mother and I can't see grandchildren in our 60s, in fact, our hearts will be dull. Can you understand?"
"I …"
After listening to them, Chen Hansheng was silent for a long time. Then he said again, "Thank you!"
Although there were only four words this time, it was obviously more affectionate than before.
"This is the responsibility of parents."
Chen Zhaojun said with a little encouragement, "After Zijin and Zipei were born, we can see some changes in you. As for the matter of swapping the babies, if your mother and I knew in advance, we definitely wouldn't agree. But now that we've come to this step, we'd better look forward to the future you said."
… ….
(I'll write a chapter today. I'm not in a good state recently. I always feel that it's not appropriate to write a lot of words, so I always delete them. Thank you for your understanding.)
