I, Qinghuan

The gate of Mei's Group Park.

"Hey, I'm back. You should know that you came to see me so early. I shouldn't go home if I'm late. I should sleep in the company and wait for you."

Mei Zhongli couldn't help tidying up the collar of his suit. He is a hale and hearty old man. Although his hair and beard are graying a lot, he still looks full of style.It's just that his left leg looks a little problematic, and he walks with a limp, so he has to rely on a strong wooden walking stick.He switched his cane to the other side, as if he was afraid of tripping over to Nan Yang beside him, his gray beard couldn't cover his full smile, "How are you recuperating in Australia all these years?"

Nan Yang ate the rock sugar strawberry in his hand and hummed.

"Just be in good health. Come back this time, and take you to have a good look at the company."

"..."

Mei Zhongli led her through the main office area, and pointed to the group of people who were preparing for work, "This is the Operations Department, you can work here first, as long as there are no major problems, I can support you and then continue to work." Go up. Now the company is developing smoothly. If there are no accidents, within a year..."

Just as he was talking, two men walked towards him, one was approaching his sixties with gray hair on his temples, and the other was middle-aged with unusually sharp eyes.

"Boss Mei."

"Mr. Mei is good."

Liu Zhen and Sun Guohui shook Mei Zhongli's hand.

Mei Zhongli introduced to Nan Yang with a smile: "Just so you know, Liu Zhen and Sun Guohui are the two largest shareholders of the Mei Group besides me."

"This is President Mei's daughter?" Liu Zhen squinted his eyes, looked at Nan Yang, and looked at Mei Zhongli, "I just heard that President Mei said what will happen in a year?"

"I'm getting old. I want her to take my place after a year." Mei Zhongli looked at Nan Yang with a smile.

"President Mei, is it child's play to manage a company?" Liu Zhen changed his face, "Don't blame me for speaking badly. If you want to train her, why don't you start early and work steadily from the bottom in the company? She You've been idle until you're in your 30s, and if you don't want to waste a word, it would be too irresponsible for the Mei family to bring such a ignorant person over to be the manager of the company."

The smile on Mei Zhongli's face slowly disappeared, "Liu Zhen, are you giving my daughter a bad blow?"

"The company is not just your painstaking effort. I cannot agree with your hasty decision-making."

The elderly Sun Guohui tried to smooth things over: "Forget it, old Liu, so many employees are watching..."

Mei Zhongli raised his hand to interrupt Sun Guohui, "He deliberately picked this time to come here and make a joke for the whole company."

Liu Zhen gritted his teeth and smiled, "Boss Mei's words are so chilling."

"Others don't know you, don't I know you?" Mei Zhongli took a step forward leaning on his cane, and he was completely different from his usual amiable appearance, his eyes could freeze each other into ice, and when he spoke again, his voice was very low Low, "Don't think that I don't know what's on your mind. If you want to eat Mei Shi alone, your appetite is too big."

Liu Zhen looked fiercely into Mei Zhongli's eyes, "I'm all for Mei's good."

Mei Zhongli just sneered.

"You do have a lot of shares in your hands, but I also have a lot of them. Let me leave it here. If I am in the company for a day, she will not want to take over any power." Liu Zhen said this sentence with a deep voice , turned and left without looking back.

Nan Yang just stood aside and looked at them without saying a word.

Mei Zhongli looked around at the employees watching the excitement, sighed, and waved them away.

"You don't need to be under pressure. Everyone in the company knows that you are my daughter, and they will obey you if you want to do things in the company in the future."

"..."

The park is very big, the two of them were talking, and slowly came to the company cafeteria, where the employees who had breakfast here greeted Mei Zhongli as they passed by.

A handsome man in a suit came over and nodded at Mei Zhongli, "Mr. Mei." He took another peek at Nan Yang, "This is...your daughter, right?"

Mei Zhongli pointed to the young man, smiled and said to Nan Yang, "This is Xiao Wang, the company's operations director."

"Hello, my name is Wang Zinan." Wang Zinan stretched out his hand towards Nan Yang.

There was no expression on Nan Yang's face. He glanced at Wang Zinan's hand and bit down another rock sugar strawberry without moving.

Wang Zinan raised his outstretched hand awkwardly in the air, seeing that Nan Yang had no intention of answering him at all, he had to take his hand back angrily.

Mei Zhongli observed Wang Zinan, smiled and said in a joking tone: "I can tell you in advance, don't think she is beautiful, just hit her. I have arranged her marriage a long time ago. If I find you harassing her, Get out of Mei Shi tomorrow, hear me?"

Wang Zinan let out a disappointment, and sighed regretfully.

"Go to dinner quickly, and give me the report before the end of the month."

"Alright Mr. Mei."

Wang Zinan reluctantly took one last look at Nanyang, and went to pick up the meal in despondency.

"I'll take you straight to my office."

"Ah."

Mei Zhongli took Nan Yang up to his office on the twelfth floor, and introduced her the current situation of the company along the way, explaining everything in detail. When the employees in the company saw this situation, they would inevitably listen and eavesdrop. something.And Nan Yang didn't seem to be interested, just lowered his head and ate the rock sugar strawberry in his hand.

Opening the door of the office, there were already two people waiting inside.Mei Zhongli smiled, let Nan Yang go in, and after he went in himself, he asked the secretary not to let anyone come near here.

Those two familiar figures turned around, and it turned out to be Liu Zhen and Sun Guohui whom they had just met not long ago.

Mei Zhongli locked the door of the office. Liu Zhen and Sun Guohui took a look at the locked door and stepped forward.

then.

They bowed their heads and knelt down to Nan Yang in a pious and dignified manner like believers worshiping an envoy.

Mei Zhongli also put down his cane, supported his uneasy left leg, and slowly knelt down in front of Nan Yang.

"Liu Zhen, the No.60 eighth-generation successor of Master Yuntang, pay homage to the ancestor."

"Bianzi took advantage of Sun Guohui, the No. 60 fifth-generation successor of the patriarch, to meet the patriarch."

"Welcome back, Patriarch."

Mei Zhongli pressed his forehead to the ground, and said respectfully.

If someone broke in by chance at this time, they would definitely feel that there was something wrong with their eyes, or that they hadn't woken up yet.Anyway, the scene of three middle-aged and elderly entrepreneurs with successful careers kneeling in front of a young woman is really weird as hell.

Nan Yang raised his hand, signaled them to get up, found a corner of the sofa and sat down, and vaguely said with a stick dipped in sugar:

"What kind of play did you play just now? I was taken aback when I saw it."

Mei Zhongli replied: "Your last ID card has expired. I took the liberty to create a new identity for you as my daughter. It is also to allow you to return from Australia smoothly and appear less obtrusive in front of everyone. It’s convenient for you to use Mei’s family name to act in the future. This time the ID card is still your original name, I dare not give you my surname, but only declare that you are with your mother’s surname, don’t worry.”

Liu Zhen said earnestly: "Didn't you always have no interest in managing the company? I said in public that I would sack you, so you won't have to worry about the company's chores in the future."

"Old Liu is more thoughtful," Sun Guohui smiled gently, "We really don't want you to waste time on these mundane things."

"Yes." Mei Zhongli rubbed the crutch in his hand, and said with emotion, "We are old, and we must arrange the way for you. At the beginning, the ancestors ordered that the generations after the three should do their best. We dare not forget for a moment when we went to protect our ancestors. Fortunately, our ancestors have come here safely for more than 3000 years.

Every time they saw her, they couldn't help but sigh with emotion.It's like -- when old classmates who haven't seen each other for many years don't know what topic to start with, they will tacitly start to lament the glory of their youth.

Nan Yang was silent for a moment, then turned to look out the window, "...I saw her today."

Mei Zhongli immediately realized who Nan Yang was talking about, and couldn't restrain the joy in his eyes: "Did she recognize you?"

Nan Yang answered in a very soft voice.

"No."

"How could it be? Didn't you say that you will definitely remember it this time?" Mei Zhongli said in surprise.

"I don't know," Nan Yang looked at the snow on the window sill, and grabbed the sofa leather with his fingertips resting on the armrest of the sofa. "Maybe... there is still a chance."

"How come... this..." Sun Guohui frowned and fell into deep thought.

"Old Ancestor, don't worry, no matter what, the three of us will look for the reason again. By the way, I made a marriage contract for you, and you will have many opportunities in the future." Mei Zhongli thought of the daughter of the Zhu family, and suddenly He was also relieved, "I also watched that little girl grow up. In order to make your waiting complete, I even gave her the same name as that old friend. This child has a beautiful appearance and a gentle personality. The ancestor must like it." .”

Nan Yang lowered her eyes and said: "... But just now, looking at her meaning, she seems unwilling to marry me."

Mei Zhongli opened his mouth, not knowing what to answer.

"She may come to ask you to withdraw the engagement in a while." Nan Yang looked at Xue outside the window again, "If she really doesn't want this engagement, don't force her, just withdraw if you want to."

"But Patriarch..."

"Her destiny is her own, so don't have to entangle with me." Nan Yang paused, and his voice became softer, "Xiao Lizi, I know that you made this marriage contract for my sake, and I am very grateful. But who Didn't even think about it, she still doesn't remember me. Have you ever wondered what if she already has someone she likes? What if she doesn't plan to spend the rest of her life with a woman? What will she do if we do this ?”

Mei Zhongli looked into Nan Yang's eyes, and when she said these words, her eyes were filled with trembling forbearance.

In the decades he had known her, only when she talked about that person, he could see a little flickering light in her indifferent eyes.

"... I see, this matter... don't worry about it, I will take care of it."

Mei Zhongli gradually clenched his fist holding the cane.

Liu Zhen looked worriedly at Nan Yang, then at Mei Zhongli, vaguely feeling that this matter would not end so easily.
