youth immortal
Chapter 29
The author has something to say:
The beginning of the year was crazy busy, and the Spring Festival holiday was just around the corner.But at noon on New Year's Eve, FY's Beijing office still showed no signs of closing down for the holiday.
Jiang Xue flew from Los Angeles to Beijing two days ago, planning to spend a good new year with Wu Fan.Huang Zitao has returned to Qingdao.Lu Han was in Beijing, and he had an agreement with Wu Fan and Jiang Xue to celebrate the new year together at midnight.But there are only the two of them for the New Year's Eve dinner.Jiang Xue thought that since she was on vacation, she wouldn't go out to restaurants, and cook some Wu Fan's favorite food by herself, and it would be good for the two of them to have a little trouble.
So, in the early [-]s, Jiang Xue and the housekeeping aunt finished cleaning together, and began to prepare for the New Year's Eve dinner.
This is their first real reunion year together.When he was a trainee, Wu Fan was usually picked up by his father in Guangzhou every year.Jiang Xue is with Jinsong.Now, after so many years, they are finally back in their first year, which means a lot.Jiang Xue was very solemn when listing the menu.Busy with preparations, Jiang Xue was also worried about Wu Fan who was busy at work, every cell became tense.
Just as Jiang Xue couldn't stop and was wandering around in the kitchen, the landline phone beeped.
Jiang Xue turned off the stove with a "swipe", dropped the disobedient fish, flicked her sleeves, and rushed to answer the phone as if flying.
"Hello!" Jiang Xue's tone was too gentle, so she reluctantly added, "Hello."
It was actually a soft female voice: "Hello...Wu Fan...Are you here? Is this Wu Fan's house?"
Jiang Xue cleared her throat, and the motor in her brain was running suddenly, and she calmly replied, "Well, it's Mr. Wu's family. I'm his assistant, and you are...?"
"Oh? Xiao Shen?" the other party asked.
Jiang Xue couldn't figure it out, and lied neatly: "Ah, no, no, I'm the new Xiaoxue. Who are you? What can you do with Mr. Wu?"
"Xiaoxue, isn't Fanfan at home? I'm his mother..."
Hearing this, Jiang Xue couldn't calm down, her eyes widened, she covered the receiver of the phone, took a deep breath, took a deep breath to calm down, and said to the phone with a smile: "Ah, Fan... ah, Mrs. Wu's mother , Mr. Wu is still busy in the company. If you have anything to say, you can tell me first if it is convenient. When Mr. Wu comes back, I will ask him to call you back. "
"Oh, Xiaoxue, I'm at Beijing Capital Airport. I contacted Xiaoshen before, but now I can't get through to her cell phone. Can you come pick me up? Or send me Fanfan's address, and I'll take a taxi..."
Fan's mother, Cai Peini, was dragging large and small luggage, holding up her mobile phone in the arrival hall of the Capital Airport to ask.It was obviously a hasty and embarrassing thing, but she stood alone, but she had a calm demeanor, and her speech and behavior were only orderly and unhurried.
The bomb in Jiang Xue’s heart had already injured her internally, her face turned pale and trembling, she said, “No, no, no, Mama Wu, how can I let you take a taxi. Me, me, I’ll pick you up right away. You can find a comfortable car at the airport. Let’s stay here for a while. I, I, I, I’ll be right there, right away.”
"piaji" hung up the phone, and Jiang Xue covered her face and "wailed loudly": "Mom Fan...why did you come here without letting me know... Wu Fan, you bastard, if your mother wants to come, why don't you come?" Just let me know... Still, you didn't know your mommy was coming... Oh, the most bastard is Shen Ling, your assistant! Why did you contact Fan's mother secretly, and you can't do things like connecting the machine well..."
Knowing that it was useless to be upset, Jiang Xue cleared her luggage, sprinkled some perfume to cover up the smell of the kitchen, and rushed to the underground parking lot.
When Jiang Xue saw Fanfan's mother for the first time, she was amazed.Now she was driving the car nervously, dealing with the woman beside her who was completely shocked by her outward appearance and inner temperament.This woman is Wu Yifan!Wu Yifan's mother...
"Xiaoxue, why are you alone? Do you still have to work if you don't go home at the end of the year?" Fan's mother gently looked at the little girl who was driving seriously, and asked carefully.
Jiang Xue smirked and said, "Ah ha ha... I'm just a handyman, don't I have to clean at thirty, ha ha ha..."
Fan's mother nodded meaningfully, thinking that the little girl was just running errands, so she didn't ask any more questions.
"Has Mama Wu been to Beijing before?" Jiang Xue stared at the air in embarrassment, and asked enthusiastically, full of regret.
Jiang Xiaoxue children's shoes, don't you know that silence is golden!
"Well, I came here when I was a child." Fan's mother murmured, "It was a long time ago..."
He sighed lightly, as if caught in a memory.
After a long time, Penny asked: "Is your President Wu okay? The last time I saw him, he was still...now he is the president and started his own company. Hehe..."
She didn't seem to ask Jiang Xue, she talked leisurely by herself.
Jiang Xue took a breath, listened attentively, and said after a while: "Mr. Wu is very good. He has taken good care of both the activities and the company. Mother Wu should be happier, she should be so proud, she has raised such an excellent son."
Cai Peini's mood seemed to be even lower, and she snorted: "I'm afraid you are the only one who thinks that I 'raised' him. In his eyes, I just gave birth to him to suffer...for so many years..."
Jiang Xue couldn't believe that these resentful words came from Cai Peini's mouth, her last voice was inaudible.While waiting for the red light, Jiang Xue glanced at Fan's mother, only to realize that she was crying.
"Oh, Mama Wu...you are..." Jiang Xue hurriedly handed Mama Fan a tissue, flustered but didn't know how to comfort her.When it was the turn of the green light to start, she could only accompany in silence.
When she arrived at the apartment, Cai Peini's emotions had calmed down. While Jiang Xue was busy packing her luggage, she looked at Wu Fan's small house inside and out.
"Xiaoxue, you're not just Fanfan's little assistant, are you?" Peni leaned against the door of the guest bedroom suddenly, and asked Jiang Xue who was busy jumping up and down inside.
Hearing this, Jiang Xue froze in place like a doll whose wind suddenly stopped, with a stiff expression and a little smile, faltering: "Wu, mother Wu...I..."
"Hehe, there are photos of you all around the house." Penny smiled gently, looked at Jiang Xue carefully, and murmured: "Fanfan's girlfriend...very good, she is a sensible girl."
Jiang Xue's face was already flushed, she lowered her head and explained, "Mother Wu, I didn't mean to lie to you...I...I'm sorry..."
"Where is it!" Peni walked to Jiang Xue's side, patted her on the shoulder and said kindly, "You are also protecting Fanfan. What if mom is a paparazzi!"
"Pfft..." Jiang Xue was actually amused by Fanfan's mother, "Mother Wu, go sit and rest in the living room, I'll come out after packing up."
Penny pulled Jiang Xue's hand away from carrying her luggage, and led her out together, saying kindly: "You can just call me auntie, if you don't mind, just call me mom? Haha, don't rush to clean up. I'll take my time. I just saw a lot of ingredients in the kitchen, is it for New Year's Eve dinner?"
"Yes, auntie." Jiang Xue nodded with a smile.
"Then let's do it together!"
Penny said and walked into the kitchen with Jiang Xue.
But in fact, Fanfan's mother's craftsmanship is not satisfactory.Chef Jiang Xue, Fan Ma's helper, even a little bit of help.Seeing Fan's mother chopping vegetables, Jiang Xue pursed her lips and smiled: "Auntie, you must be tired after sitting on the plane for so long! You really don't have to work too hard. Let's rest in the living room, watch TV, and try the fruit tea I made , Today is pineapple and orange!"
Fan's mother smiled awkwardly, clapped her hands and stood behind Jiang Xue who was cooking, and said, "Really, let me show you a joke. I don't seem to have any talent in cooking. I can't help you..."
"Hey, Auntie, what are you talking about!" Jiang Xue skillfully held the frying pan, and joked, "This world is about division of labor. Some cooks are good at cooking, but the sky is falling, and there is a taller one." !Ha ha!"
Fan's mother smiled slightly, put Jiang Xue's shoulder and said affectionately: "Fanfan must like you very much."
"Ah, haha..." Jiang Xueqian laughed twice, not knowing how to continue.
"Fanfan eats fish now?" Staring at the braised fish on the platform, Fan's mother asked in amazement.
"Ah? He likes fish very much..." Jiang Xue said in surprise.
Penny lowered her hands, lowered her head and whispered, "When he was young, he hated eating fish the most..."
Jiang Xue's cooking shovel paused in the air, and her mind went blank.She only remembered the first time she cooked the steamed fish that Wu Fan ate cleanly, and she didn't have any annoying words...
After all, his habits have changed...
The most desolate, don't miss the relatives who have missed these changes...
Suddenly, she thought of her mother, the mother who taught her how to cook. If she could see how skillful she is now, would she be as stunned as Fanfan's mother?But she will never see herself now.Even if she saw it, she couldn't recognize herself, the self hidden in someone else's body...it wasn't even her own.
She sighed suddenly, served homemade tofu, turned off the stove, and the space was suddenly quiet.Looking up and meeting Fanfan's mother's beautiful deep eyes, she said, "Auntie, let them pass on the past..."
Please give us a new start.
The sumptuous New Year's Eve dinner was finally completed. Jiang Xue and Fan's mother set up the dinner table and arranged the trinkets to welcome the New Year.After a while, the doorbell rang.
"Wu Fan is back!" Jiang Xue hurriedly ran to open the door with a smile, "Here we come!"
"I'm back..."
Facing the exhausted Wu Fan, Jiang Xue put on a smile and asked warmly: "Is it cold outside? Are you busy today...Me and..."
Before Jiang Xue finished speaking, Wu Fan, who was wearing slippers in the hallway, raised his head and spotted the person behind Jiang Xue who was looking at him from a distance.
The faint smile on his face disappeared immediately, and he asked coldly, "Why are you here?"
Jiang Xue hurriedly went to Wu Fan's side, took off his coat for him, and explained in a lively tone to mediate the atmosphere: "Auntie misses you! I came here from San Francisco to see you!"
Wu Fan didn't seem to hear Jiang Xue's words, so he went straight to Cai Peini and asked in the same cold tone as before: "What are you here for?"
Cai Peini frowned and sighed, "Come and see you."
Wu Fan closed his eyes and said impatiently: "Okay, you saw it. Have you seen enough? Let's go when you've seen enough."
Cai Peini stood there awkwardly, trembling all over and unable to speak.
Seeing this, Jiang Xue walked up to her, put her arms around her and said to Wu Fan: "Kevin, Auntie came here after a long time, so you can't leave just now. Anyway, let's have a New Year's Eve dinner together. We have been busy for a long time! Everything is ready! It's what you like to eat!"
After finishing speaking, Jiang Xue helped Penny to sit at the dining table, and turned her head to look at Wu Fan anxiously.Wu Fan turned his back to the restaurant and remained motionless.She comforted Penny and walked towards him with complicated emotions.
"Kevin, don't stick around. Come and eat." Dragging Wu Fan's arm, Jiang Xue begged bitterly.
Wu Fan's throat moved, and he took Jiang Xue's hand gently, but with great strength, and said in a low voice: "Let's go." As he said that, he was about to walk out the door.
Jiang Xue pressed her toes tightly, and asked puzzledly, "Where are you going?"
"Whatever! If she doesn't go, I'll go." Wu Fan raised the decibel, clearly yelling at Cai Peini.
Cai Peini finally couldn't bear it anymore, walked into the living room, faced Wu Fan and said, "Is that why you can't tolerate me?"
Wu Fan stood there in a daze, lowered his head and did not speak.
"After all these years, you have hated me!" Penny followed Wu Fan's gaze, and said bitterly, "You thought I was the one who deliberately abandoned you and left you alone? You are my son! How could I not Miss you? It's just that you can't see the pain your father gave me..."
Penny's voice was choked up, and Jiang Xue helped her up distressedly: "Auntie..."
"I thought that when you were old, mature, had your own career, and even, soon, you would have your own family, you could understand and forgive your mother. Who knows, I hurt you so deeply that you hate me so much Completely..." Cai Peini squatted down in tears, "I, I am a failure, a failed wife, a failed daughter, the most failed mother..."
Jiang Xue caressed Penny's back silently, and looked up at Wu Fan.There was no change in his expression, but the veins protruded on the back of his tightly clenched fist, which made Jiang Xue feel the deepest pain in his heart.None of them are wrong.Two scarred hearts, resenting each other only adds to the pain, why can't they warm each other.
Wu Fan suddenly said quietly: "What do you mean, daughter of failure?" He turned his head and glanced at Cai Peini.
Cai Peini sobbed: "You, your grandfather passed away last month..."
Wu Fan rushed in front of Cai Peini, knelt down and pulled her collar, suppressed his anger, and roared in a low voice: "Why did you tell me? So what? Why did you come to me? You lost your support." ? Seeing the report, think of my son? What do you want to use me to get?" He pushed her away and sneered, "Is it because I can't get the inheritance and want me to help you?"
Jiang Xue shrank aside in fear, she had never seen such a gloomy Wu Fan.In the past, he was lonely and reticent, but he was not like now, there was no trace of humanity in his eyes and tone.Blunt and indifferent.
Cai Peini seemed discouraged, staring blankly at her son who had been away for many years.She stopped crying and shook her head: "In your eyes, am I really such a mother?"
"Do you think you are a mother?" Wu Fan retorted unhurriedly, with the same indifferent expression as before, without any emotional fluctuations.
Cai Peini closed her eyes tightly when she heard the words, and two lines of tears fell distinctly.
Jiang Xue stood up suddenly, walked to Wu Fan's side, reached out to take his clenched fist, opened it patiently, and clasped his fingers tightly.Caressing his cheek with distress, staring at him, said softly: "Fanfan, forgive Auntie...why mistake full love for hate?"
Wu Fan looked at Jiang Xue with a wry smile.Her eyes were full of tears, filled with regret and incomprehension.He knew her kindness, but he also firmly believed that she could not understand the situation at this time.He said softly: "You go first, go with Lu Han for the New Year's Eve. Don't be sad about the matter between me and this woman." He pushed her away, "I need space, I can solve it by myself."
Jiang Xue stood aside abruptly, somewhat at a loss.Wu Fan looked up at her, took out his mobile phone and called Luhan: "Xiaolu, I have something wrong here. Come here and pick up Jiang Xue."
Seeing this, Jiang Xue frowned.Wu Fan hung up the phone and signaled to her: "Go downstairs, Luhan will be there in a while."
Jiang Xue was really helpless, tidied up, looked at the mother and son who were fighting each other, and left helplessly.
In the car, Lu Han tentatively asked Jiang Xue: "What's the situation with Lao Wu? Is he not coming for the New Year's Eve?"
Jiang Xue seemed to have regained her senses, looked at the foggy car window, and said flatly, "No problem. Lu Han, take me to the hotel. You and your family and friends can celebrate the New Year with peace of mind."
Lu Han nodded in thought, and quietly stopped talking.
Almost at the hotel, Luhan said again: "Did you quarrel?"
Jiang Xue glanced at him, smiled wryly and said, "I really want to quarrel with him!"
"What's going on? Is there something wrong with the company?"
"Oh, no, not at all. Stop it. It's his personal business. We mere mortals don't ask about it. Gong Xi Fa Cai, Happy New Year! I'm leaving!"
As soon as the car came to a complete stop, Jiang Xue made a few bows to Lu Han amusedly, and got out of the car in a hurry.
Back in the cold hotel room, Jiang Xue browsed the TV with no interest, and ushered in the warm and lively Chinese New Year that she was looking forward to with a blank face.
……
In Wu Fan's apartment, mother and son were sitting face to face.A smell of gunpowder smoke.
Cai Peini drank hot tea and glanced at her son: "You know about your grandfather's business, right?"
"Heh, have we finally talked about the topic?" Wu Fan gave her a sharp look, "I've talked with me so much before, are you tired?"
Cai Peini took a deep breath: "I can't help you if you insist on being so cold-blooded. I can't impress you, so I can only go straight. I need your help."
Wu Fan remained calm.Cai Peini continued: "Your grandfather passed away suddenly without a will. Your two uncles didn't intend to leave anything to me at all. After divorcing your father, I didn't remarry. I invested my time and experience in the company. Now your two uncles Uncle wants to run me out. I can't help it. But you start a company, I want to finance your company, and after my shares are transferred, I can go out independently. We can run an independent company together. There is no need to have anything to do with Cai Of course, these are just assumptions. After all, I don’t know anything about your company. But from the current point of view, such cooperation must be a win-win situation.”
After listening carefully, Wu Fan closed his eyes and laughed, then solemnly crossed his palms again, decisively denying Cai Peini's proposal: "Don't think about my company."
"Wu Yifan, I'm your mother. After I die, the company will be yours. Do you want to watch me being run out of the Cai family by your two uncles, and have nothing left?"
"Yes." Wu Fan looked directly at Cai Peini and said without thinking.
"Haha, good. Very good. You really hate me. But even so, you don't think about your own company that is just starting up? Do you really think that your small broken company can become a big business?" Cai Peini said like a treasure, "You His company is currently nothing more than two pieces, entertainment and clothing. Let me tell you, Wu Yifan. If you want to do entertainment, it is a dead end. I won’t go into details. As for clothing? A few cups of soup. Do you want to sit still and grow big? I’m afraid you can only feed your hunger. It’s no problem if someone crushes you to death.”
"That's enough! Cai Peini, have you finished what you came all the way to say?" Wu Fan asked fiercely, "I really don't want to see you again. I'm not interested in whether you have nothing. Is my company If you want to be crushed to death, it has nothing to do with you. Have you booked a flight ticket back to the United States? If not, I will ask my assistant to help you book the nearest flight."
Cai Peini waved her hand: "No need. I won't go back. I won't have nothing. Anyway, I have won an Asian market."
Wu Fan nodded with a sneer: "Okay, it's time to wait and see, isn't it?"
Cai Peini stood up in a hurry: "Someone will come to pick up my luggage." She picked up her coat and handbag and walked towards the entrance, "Also, I really don't like vegetables, so eat more vitamins." After the words fell, she opened the door and walked away out.
Wu Fan stared at the door and sat down slumped, as if his nerves had collapsed after a great battle.
Maybe Cai Peini deliberately missed it. In addition to clothing and entertainment, FY also has an important foundation and backing, which is Wu Mianyuan's real estate in his early years. FY can be successfully established in Beijing, and the support of this part cannot be underestimated.At present, the integration of resources and funds is dominated by real estate.But when it comes to the company's prospects, Cai Peini keeps silent, what is her intention?
Wu Fan thought quietly and tiredly, and couldn't help calling her.
"Hey, Xiaoxue. Are you awake? Did you sleep well?"
"Very bad." Jiang Xue couldn't sleep well at all, so she answered the phone immediately, "Auntie...how are you?"
"Well, it's solved. Where are you? I'll pick you up. I miss you so much."
Hearing this, Jiang Xue couldn't get rid of even a trace of depression, and said distressedly: "I miss you too. I'm at the hotel. Wait for me, I'll be right back."
The beginning of the year was crazy busy, and the Spring Festival holiday was just around the corner.But at noon on New Year's Eve, FY's Beijing office still showed no signs of closing down for the holiday.
Jiang Xue flew from Los Angeles to Beijing two days ago, planning to spend a good new year with Wu Fan.Huang Zitao has returned to Qingdao.Lu Han was in Beijing, and he had an agreement with Wu Fan and Jiang Xue to celebrate the new year together at midnight.But there are only the two of them for the New Year's Eve dinner.Jiang Xue thought that since she was on vacation, she wouldn't go out to restaurants, and cook some Wu Fan's favorite food by herself, and it would be good for the two of them to have a little trouble.

Seeing this, Jiang Xue walked up to her, put her arms around her and said to Wu Fan: "Kevin, Auntie came here after a long time, so you can't leave just now. Anyway, let's have a New Year's Eve dinner together. We have been busy for a long time! Everything is ready! It's what you like to eat!"
After finishing speaking, Jiang Xue helped Penny to sit at the dining table, and turned her head to look at Wu Fan anxiously.Wu Fan turned his back to the restaurant and remained motionless.She comforted Penny and walked towards him with complicated emotions.
"Kevin, don't stick around. Come and eat." Dragging Wu Fan's arm, Jiang Xue begged bitterly.
Wu Fan's throat moved, and he took Jiang Xue's hand gently, but with great strength, and said in a low voice: "Let's go." As he said that, he was about to walk out the door.
Jiang Xue pressed her toes tightly, and asked puzzledly, "Where are you going?"
"Whatever! If she doesn't go, I'll go." Wu Fan raised the decibel, clearly yelling at Cai Peini.
Cai Peini finally couldn't bear it anymore, walked into the living room, faced Wu Fan and said, "Is that why you can't tolerate me?"
Wu Fan stood there in a daze, lowered his head and did not speak.
"After all these years, you have hated me!" Penny followed Wu Fan's gaze, and said bitterly, "You thought I was the one who deliberately abandoned you and left you alone? You are my son! How could I not Miss you? It's just that you can't see the pain your father gave me..."
Penny's voice was choked up, and Jiang Xue helped her up distressedly: "Auntie..."
"I thought that when you were old, mature, had your own career, and even, soon, you would have your own family, you could understand and forgive your mother. Who knows, I hurt you so deeply that you hate me so much Completely..." Cai Peini squatted down in tears, "I, I am a failure, a failed wife, a failed daughter, the most failed mother..."
Jiang Xue caressed Penny's back silently, and looked up at Wu Fan.There was no change in his expression, but the veins protruded on the back of his tightly clenched fist, which made Jiang Xue feel the deepest pain in his heart.None of them are wrong.Two scarred hearts, resenting each other only adds to the pain, why can't they warm each other.
Wu Fan suddenly said quietly: "What do you mean, daughter of failure?" He turned his head and glanced at Cai Peini.
Cai Peini sobbed: "You, your grandfather passed away last month..."
Wu Fan rushed in front of Cai Peini, knelt down and pulled her collar, suppressed his anger, and roared in a low voice: "Why did you tell me? So what? Why did you come to me? You lost your support." ? Seeing the report, think of my son? What do you want to use me to get?" He pushed her away and sneered, "Is it because I can't get the inheritance and want me to help you?"
Jiang Xue shrank aside in fear, she had never seen such a gloomy Wu Fan.In the past, he was lonely and reticent, but he was not like now, there was no trace of humanity in his eyes and tone.Blunt and indifferent.
Cai Peini seemed discouraged, staring blankly at her son who had been away for many years.She stopped crying and shook her head: "In your eyes, am I really such a mother?"
"Do you think you are a mother?" Wu Fan retorted unhurriedly, with the same indifferent expression as before, without any emotional fluctuations.
Cai Peini closed her eyes tightly when she heard the words, and two lines of tears fell distinctly.
Jiang Xue stood up suddenly, walked to Wu Fan's side, reached out to take his clenched fist, opened it patiently, and clasped his fingers tightly.Caressing his cheek with distress, staring at him, said softly: "Fanfan, forgive Auntie...why mistake full love for hate?"
Wu Fan looked at Jiang Xue with a wry smile.Her eyes were full of tears, filled with regret and incomprehension.He knew her kindness, but he also firmly believed that she could not understand the situation at this time.He said softly: "You go first, go with Lu Han for the New Year's Eve. Don't be sad about the matter between me and this woman." He pushed her away, "I need space, I can solve it by myself."
Jiang Xue stood aside abruptly, somewhat at a loss.Wu Fan looked up at her, took out his mobile phone and called Luhan: "Xiaolu, I have something wrong here. Come here and pick up Jiang Xue."
Seeing this, Jiang Xue frowned.Wu Fan hung up the phone and signaled to her: "Go downstairs, Luhan will be there in a while."
Jiang Xue was really helpless, tidied up, looked at the mother and son who were fighting each other, and left helplessly.
In the car, Lu Han tentatively asked Jiang Xue: "What's the situation with Lao Wu? Is he not coming for the New Year's Eve?"
Jiang Xue seemed to have regained her senses, looked at the foggy car window, and said flatly, "No problem. Lu Han, take me to the hotel. You and your family and friends can celebrate the New Year with peace of mind."
Lu Han nodded in thought, and quietly stopped talking.
Almost at the hotel, Luhan said again: "Did you quarrel?"
Jiang Xue glanced at him, smiled wryly and said, "I really want to quarrel with him!"
"What's going on? Is there something wrong with the company?"
"Oh, no, not at all. Stop it. It's his personal business. We mere mortals don't ask about it. Gong Xi Fa Cai, Happy New Year! I'm leaving!"
As soon as the car came to a complete stop, Jiang Xue made a few bows to Lu Han amusedly, and got out of the car in a hurry.
Back in the cold hotel room, Jiang Xue browsed the TV with no interest, and ushered in the warm and lively Chinese New Year that she was looking forward to with a blank face.
……
In Wu Fan's apartment, mother and son were sitting face to face.A smell of gunpowder smoke.
Cai Peini drank hot tea and glanced at her son: "You know about your grandfather's business, right?"
"Heh, have we finally talked about the topic?" Wu Fan gave her a sharp look, "I've talked with me so much before, are you tired?"
Cai Peini took a deep breath: "I can't help you if you insist on being so cold-blooded. I can't impress you, so I can only go straight. I need your help."
Wu Fan remained calm.Cai Peini continued: "Your grandfather passed away suddenly without a will. Your two uncles didn't intend to leave anything to me at all. After divorcing your father, I didn't remarry. I invested my time and experience in the company. Now your two uncles Uncle wants to run me out. I can't help it. But you start a company, I want to finance your company, and after my shares are transferred, I can go out independently. We can run an independent company together. There is no need to have anything to do with Cai Of course, these are just assumptions. After all, I don’t know anything about your company. But from the current point of view, such cooperation must be a win-win situation.”
After listening carefully, Wu Fan closed his eyes and laughed, then solemnly crossed his palms again, decisively denying Cai Peini's proposal: "Don't think about my company."
"Wu Yifan, I'm your mother. After I die, the company will be yours. Do you want to watch me being run out of the Cai family by your two uncles, and have nothing left?"
"Yes." Wu Fan looked directly at Cai Peini and said without thinking.
"Haha, good. Very good. You really hate me. But even so, you don't think about your own company that is just starting up? Do you really think that your small broken company can become a big business?" Cai Peini said like a treasure, "You His company is currently nothing more than two pieces, entertainment and clothing. Let me tell you, Wu Yifan. If you want to do entertainment, it is a dead end. I won’t go into details. As for clothing? A few cups of soup. Do you want to sit still and grow big? I’m afraid you can only feed your hunger. It’s no problem if someone crushes you to death.”
"That's enough! Cai Peini, have you finished what you came all the way to say?" Wu Fan asked fiercely, "I really don't want to see you again. I'm not interested in whether you have nothing. Is my company If you want to be crushed to death, it has nothing to do with you. Have you booked a flight ticket back to the United States? If not, I will ask my assistant to help you book the nearest flight."
Cai Peini waved her hand: "No need. I won't go back. I won't have nothing. Anyway, I have won an Asian market."
Wu Fan nodded with a sneer: "Okay, it's time to wait and see, isn't it?"
Cai Peini stood up in a hurry: "Someone will come to pick up my luggage." She picked up her coat and handbag and walked towards the entrance, "Also, I really don't like vegetables, so eat more vitamins." After the words fell, she opened the door and walked away out.
Wu Fan stared at the door and sat down slumped, as if his nerves had collapsed after a great battle.
Maybe Cai Peini deliberately missed it. In addition to clothing and entertainment, FY also has an important foundation and backing, which is Wu Mianyuan's real estate in his early years. FY can be successfully established in Beijing, and the support of this part cannot be underestimated.At present, the integration of resources and funds is dominated by real estate.But when it comes to the company's prospects, Cai Peini keeps silent, what is her intention?
Wu Fan thought quietly and tiredly, and couldn't help calling her.
"Hey, Xiaoxue. Are you awake? Did you sleep well?"
"Very bad." Jiang Xue couldn't sleep well at all, so she answered the phone immediately, "Auntie...how are you?"
"Well, it's solved. Where are you? I'll pick you up. I miss you so much."
Hearing this, Jiang Xue couldn't get rid of even a trace of depression, and said distressedly: "I miss you too. I'm at the hotel. Wait for me, I'll be right back."
