Rarely affectionate

In essence, Yuan Cheng is not a person who likes mother-in-law and drags his feet.The process of his doing things can generally be divided into two stages, the first stage is observation, and the second stage is shooting.

His observation of things is usually very secretive, and he is often patient and calm, like a beast lying in ambush among the grass to observe its prey, without even letting out a breath.Once he has made a decision in his heart, he will quickly gather all his strength to strike, directly hitting the fatal point, and then retreat quickly and resolutely regardless of whether he succeeds or not.

Just like when he decided to get rid of all the cousins ​​who prevented him from ascending to the throne, some were killed, some were exiled, and the world was turned upside down overnight, and he was left alone in the Yuan family's generation.Only he can do such a serious catastrophe, and only he can be ruthless.Before this, no one thought that the eldest grandson of the Yuan family would be such a ruthless person who simply ignored the family law of his ancestors.

It was so then, and it is so now.

Yuan Cheng stared at the chair that symbolized the highest power of the family, thoughtfully.

A month will expire soon.

Yuan Cheng sat behind his desk, flipping through the monthly report, without raising his head: "What do you think, Ah Bai?"

In the luxuriously decorated large office, sunlight shines through the floor-to-ceiling glass windows on the 58th floor, making the windows bright and clean.Lang Bai was wearing a straight smoky gray custom fine twill shirt, gray black GUCCI spring new silk tie, and narrow suit trousers of the same color that outlined his straight and slender legs.He stood in front of the desk, his eyes fixed on a certain point in the air, his face was extremely handsome, and his expression was extremely indifferent.

Yuan Cheng found it funny, this was definitely the first time that father and son faced each other from the position of superior and subordinate.When Lang Bai worked in the US branch before, he completely broke the tradition of the Yuan family that "managers of multinational branches must report to the board of directors every month".Everyone knows that the little prince has a very tough background and a spoiled personality, and is the chairman's heart, so they are wise not to bother him.

Yuan Cheng leaned back in the armchair relaxedly, with a smile in his eyes: "What do I ask you, Abai? You have also read this month's series of reports, and the risk assessment of the decision-making has been completed. Compared to the month..."

Lang Bai interrupted him coldly: "It's not as good as last month."

Last month was Yuan Cheng's performance, this month is Lang Bai's performance.Of course, there are some long-term strategic decisions that cannot be compared with one month's capital flow data. For this reason, Yuan Cheng specially invited evaluation experts, and specifically explained to them that the risks of Lang Bai's decisions made this month should be as good as possible. Evaluate, evaluate the risk of your decision-making in that month as bad as possible.

But even so, people with a discerning eye can see the gap in strength between the youngest son and his father from the details.

"Oh," Yuan Cheng said with a smile, "may I take your words to mean that you think that your work this month is actually inferior to that of your father, and that you are no better than your father in the position of chairman of the board?" good?"

Lang Bai raised his chin slightly, stared at Yuan Cheng for a few seconds, and finally said two words between his thin lips: "Yes."

"...Yes." Yuan Cheng repeated it quite complacently, as if he was reminiscing the pleasure these two words brought him, "—I am really satisfied with your frankness, my dear."

Lang Bai stared at him coldly without saying a word.

"But then again, if I really compare my achievements at the age of 40 with your achievements at the age of 20, it would be too much to bully you, after all, our qualifications, experience, experience and age are not the same. Same. Even if you admit that you lost, I can't really take the result seriously."

Yuan Cheng picked up the monthly capital flow list on the desktop, tore it in half, and threw it into the pile of waste paper.

Lang Bai frowned: "Father!——"

"I'm not asking you." Yuan Cheng knew what he wanted to say, and interrupted him simply, "You and I are not on the same order of magnitude."

Lang Bai suddenly stopped.

"I have to reward you." Yuan Cheng said calmly, "Because, as my son, you have the ability and means to lead a group without my deliberately training it. This makes me very happy, because Wan Whatever misfortune happened to me, the Yuan family's wealth accumulated over a hundred years will not fall into the hands of people with foreign surnames."

Lang Bai remembered Yuan Cheng's method of tricking him back from the United States, and his temple twitched: "...you don't have this 'what if' at all."

Yuan Cheng laughed: "Okay, okay, what happened last time was indeed something wrong with Dad, be good and don't be angry... Since you like staying abroad so much, let you go to the American branch this time and continue dancing Hai's unfinished business before. You can even lead a group, even a mere American branch.

are you? "

Lang Bai seemed a little surprised, and was stunned for a while: "...Aren't you afraid that I will sweep up the branch and start a new boss?"

"Go, let's go!" Yuan Cheng threw a thick airmail envelope with a clatter, "The transfer procedures are all inside, as soon as I sign, the US branch will be transferred to your name from now on, whether it's a profit or a loss It’s all yours, it has nothing to do with the Yuan family. ——Why, you want to sweep your own company and start a new one? Don’t bother, Abai, if you don’t like the company name, you can change it yourself That's it!"

Lang Bai's pupils shrank slightly, and he couldn't believe his ears for a moment.He quickly opened the envelope, and after only one glance, there was an unconcealable shock on his face.

Title transfer!

Yuan Cheng transferred all his shares in the American branch, together with various property interests, to him in the form of a gift!

This transfer was so thorough that he almost ceded all his property, funds and power in the United States to Lang Bai!

Lang Bai didn't say a word for a long time, Yuan Cheng had nothing to do, so he went to admire his youngest son's body wrapped under his shirt.From the slender chin to the slender neck, from the straight shoulders to the thin arms, his eyes lingered on the narrow and flexible waist for a long time before he heard Lang Bai say coldly: "The first rule of the Yuan family ancestors, No one is allowed to divide the family property of the Yuan surname, and those who violate it will be regarded as rebellious, and the family tree will be deleted. Father, you are violating the family rules."

Yuan Cheng said: "I am the patriarch, and I have the final say on whether the family rules are right or not."

"...Those elders can't agree!"

"Whether they agree or not is my business."

"Father!" Lang Bai sternly said, "If you plan to take it back in the future, don't give it easily now!"

Yuan Cheng was silent for a long time before he said calmly: "Ah Bai, I still remember that day in the car, you told me that you lack confidence in Yuan's house, I think this is a problem that cannot be solved. If you feel that you lack confidence, then It is because you set yourself as the number one position. It is true that the requirements for this position are very high. You feel that your background is not up to the standard, so you don’t think about food and drink, and you don’t sleep at night. I can understand your feeling. Yuan The home is really too big and too old, this power itself is like an old and huge monster, it is difficult for you to hold it down."

Lang Bai wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Yuan Cheng: "After much deliberation, I think you are not attached to the entire Yuan family, but to the respect of the people around you. I can give you a smaller world, for example The American branch, it is definitely not as big as the Yuan family, and it is definitely easier to control than the Yuan family, not to mention that you have done it there before, and everyone likes you, respects you, and even worships you. When you are in the American branch, it is better than in Hong Kong. Happiness, I have noticed this a long time ago——Ah Bai, you are the only sustenance of my feelings in this life, and whether you are happy or not is always my first consideration."

Lang Bai was silent for a long while, and slowly went through every word and sentence of his father's words in his mind. After he had figured it out and digested it, he shook his head and said, "I really like the American branch...but I don't like being called by those The elders are persecuting you. You ceded the branch to me now, even if you can withstand the pressure of the elders, but what about in the future? What about after the next leader comes to power? If I work hard to build a country in the United States, in the end I will be defeated by the Yuan family. If they are taken away together, what should I do? When the next head comes to power, will you send me down with a single shot?"

Yuan Cheng began to smile wryly from the moment he opened his mouth, and when he finished speaking, Yuan Cheng smiled wryly again for a long time: "Anyway, the 'next head', you are talking about Yuan Zou..."

He was about to say something when the phone rang suddenly.

"Hey?"

"Mr. Yuan! Old Mr. Yuan Xingzhuan is coming to your office!" The secretary-general's usual calm voice sounded a little annoyed, "He brought a lot of people with him, and we can't stop him!"

"I see."

Yuan Cheng put the phone down and waved to Lang Bai: "You go first, and tell me after you've thought it over. I won't sign the transfer document until you make a decision."

Yuan Xingzhuan was of the same generation as the two elders who were killed by Lang Bai earlier, and belonged to Yuan Cheng's uncle and Lang Bai's great-uncle.Lang Bai knew why he came, he froze for a while, and finally said in a low voice: "Yes."

Yuan Cheng stared at the table and heard a click, it was the sound of Lang Bai closing the door when he went out.

He suddenly remembered the song "Dream Wedding" that Lang Bai had played for him on his 39th birthday that year.Later, he always felt that his feelings for his youngest son had completely deteriorated since then.He recalled very clearly that at that time he kissed Lang Bai and said, "No matter what happens in the future, you must remember that Dad will protect you."

After so many years, he raped his own youngest son, forced him to stay with him, forced him to do things he didn't like to do, refused to give him what he always wanted, and finally forced him to jump into the sea.The phrase "Father will protect you" was like a loud slap in the face, slapping Yuan Cheng hard on the face, which has always made him feel pain after so many years.

In this family full of dangers, traps, and intrigues, his humble and weak child has always been struggling, trying to seize every bit of life, and trying his best to protect himself.And his father has been standing by and even helping the tyrant, never protecting him from the beginning to the end.

Lang Bai was right, dividing up the Yuan family's property was a heinous crime.

But this was the first time he tried to do something to protect his cornered child, the first time he wanted so strongly to satisfy the child's desire to make him happy, to make him happy.

No matter what the price is, he doesn't want Lang Bai to disappoint his father again.
