Conquest of Rebirth
Chapter 58
"Hi everyone, welcome to the morning news. At the awards ceremony held by Haoran Entertainment and Wen's Jewelry yesterday, Mr. Chen Yan, the chairman of Haoran Group, appeared for the first time ------"
"Friends from the audience, this is the Financial Channel, Mr. Chen Yan, chairman of Haoran Group ------"
"The chairman of Haoran Group unveiled the mystery for the first time. Mr. Chen Yan, who is only 20 years old, appeared in------"
The news about Chen Yan was broadcast over and over again on the TV, and the newspaper just received was placed on the table next to it. The headline on the front page of the newspaper read: Chen Yan, chairman of Haoran Group, appeared at the awards ceremony for the first time.
When Chen Yan came in, the news about him on TV had just finished, and his mother, Chen Lirong, was sitting on the sofa opposite the TV. Today, Chen Lirong rarely went to work, and seemed to be waiting for him at home.
In fact, Chen Lirong already knew the news yesterday, but Chen Yan hadn't come back, so she hadn't seen Chen Yan yet.
When the awards ceremony ended yesterday, it was already late at night. After Chen Yan left the awards ceremony, she went to the entertainment company. At that time, there was a swarm of bees trying to gather around for interviews. Chen Yan managed to break through the siege and go to the company. Some follow-up matters, when everything was done, it was almost dawn, Chen Yan almost stayed up all night, and came to Chen Lirong again this morning.
As soon as Chen Yan entered, Chen Lirong turned her head. She didn't speak, but stared at Chen Yan closely.
Chen Yan had expected this scene, he walked over with a normal face, and sat down on the sofa opposite Chen Lirong.
"Should you explain to mom?" Chen Lirong asked, obviously suppressing her emotions.
"Explain what? Why am I the chairman of the Haoran Group? Or, how did I become the chairman of the Haoran Group?" Chen Yan said calmly. In fact, Chen Yan was already very tired, but now he was going to have a showdown with Chen Lirong , to explain everything clearly, "What's the point of explaining it? In short, the Haoran Group belongs to me. This is a fact."
"Why didn't you tell me earlier, why did you keep it from mom?"
"Mom, I once asked you if you would like to leave the Yan family, but you said it was absolutely impossible."
Chen Lirong's expression turned ugly: "You don't believe me?"
"No, it's just that I can't just leak any information about my company before I can't guarantee that there will be no mistakes." Chen Yan's face remained unchanged, and she just asked calmly, "Mom, I want to ask you again today, Should you leave the Yan family?"
Shock flashed in Chen Lirong's eyes, and she didn't speak for a moment.
"I heard that the bid for a project you were in charge of recently failed. Chairman Yan personally ordered you to suspend your job for reflection." Time to rest."
The relationship between Chen Yan and Chen Lirong has never been as close as a normal mother and child. Chen Yan doesn't have that much thought to make Chen Lirong adapt to the current situation, or to do something to worry about Chen Lirong's feelings. What Chen Yan will do is, How can Chen Lirong leave the Yan family cleanly? Chen Yan can use all kinds of hands to make Chen Lirong unable to choose, but she will not use emotional cards to make Chen Lirong favor herself. The failure of Chen Lirong's project this time has something to do with Chen Yan , Chen Yan instructed Tang Sijie to do some tricks inside, of course, Chen Yan would not tell Chen Lirong about this.
"Mom, you have to understand that what you can rely on has never been the Yan family, let alone the chairman of the Yan family who can't give you anything, but my son." Chen Yan looked straight at Chen Lirong, with some concern in her eyes. Leng Ran, "You have stayed in Yan's for so many years, what else have you got besides ridicule and contempt? To put it bluntly, that is the source of our humiliation! Yes, Yan's gave you something, but you How much did you spend in exchange for this bid? Once you made a mistake in this bidding, they immediately withdrew you mercilessly. You always want me to join Yan's, but you know that every time you hear this , I feel like a thorn in my back and a thorn in my throat, and I feel extremely uncomfortable."
Chen Lirong didn't know what to say anymore, she suddenly realized that she had never understood her son before, she didn't know what her son was thinking at all, in fact what Chen Yan said was right, the Yan family was indeed ruthless to her, Especially after Yan Haobo came, her life in the Yan family was even more difficult. Yan Sili would not stand by her side. Yan Sili only cared about how his son did, because that was his future heir.
But leaving Yan's, Chen Lirong really never thought about it. She has struggled in Yan's for almost 20 years. All she thinks in her heart is how to gain a foothold in Yan's, how to do better in Yan's, and get more. Chen Lirong I can't imagine what else she can do after leaving Yan's. In fact, she doesn't have any deep feelings for Yan. She just wants to get what belongs to her, or what she thinks belongs to her, but she is calm. Come to think of it, there was really nothing there that belonged to her.
Chen Lirong's face became gloomy, and she asked weakly, "Xiaoyan, do you hate your mother?"
Chen Yan was noncommittal, but said, "No matter what, in this world, blood relationship is the only thing that can't be separated. If you leave the Yan family in the future, we can live together. What the Yan family can give you, I can give to you, but the Yan family can't give it to you." Yours, I can also give it to you, as a son, I will support you until old age, and give you the rest of your life that you deserve. "
Chen Lirong was silent and didn't speak any more. Chen Yan waited for a while, then remembered and said: "By the way, I have another gift for you, it's about the Yan family, and you can see it in a few days."
When Chen Lirong heard this, she suddenly raised her head again and asked, "Are you going to do something to Yan? Xiaoyan, listen to your mother. Mom knows that you are different now, but don't be impulsive, Yan." The tree is big and its roots are deep, so you can't move it easily."
Seeing Chen Lirong's tense face, Chen Yan couldn't help laughing, "Mom, I've been silent for so many years, and I've done so much, you don't think I'll do anything for a moment, do you?"
"Okay, anyway, you don't need to go to the company now, just have a good rest at home. I haven't slept all night, so go to sleep for a while."
Chen Yan stood up from the sofa and went upstairs to the bedroom.
Two days later, the living room of Yan's mansion.
Chen Yan and Chen Lirong were sitting on the sofa in the living room. Opposite them was Yan Sili, and Yan Haobo and Yan Linlin were sitting on the sofa next to them.
Chen Yan didn't expect that Yan Sili would meet him so formally.
"I heard that Haoran Group was founded by you?" Yan Sili looked at Chen Yan and said, still in a calm and serious tone.
Chen Yan nodded 'Yes' and said nothing more. At this time, Chen Yan was sitting on the sofa a little casually, but inexplicably gave off an aura that could not be ignored. In fact, aura is very important. It’s hard to say, most of the time, it doesn’t need aggressive actions or lines, or arrogant rhetoric. The real aura needs to be supported by confidence. Fearless clamor without confidence will only make people feel ridiculous. Knowing that Chen Yan is sitting quietly like that, he will not put on a look of pride or arrogance, but it is this kind of casualness that makes people unable to despise.
"I haven't seen you for a few years, and you are indeed very promising." Yan Sili said again, even if he praised others, he was still full of airs, "Since you have already graduated, if you want to live here, come back, let The butler will clean up a place for you."
Chen Yan suddenly felt a little ridiculous. Yan Sili was used to being the master of the house, thinking that everyone should flatter him and circle around him. Yan Sili never thought of recognizing him as an illegitimate child. Now that his identity was exposed, Yan Sili immediately Showing an attitude of wanting to recognize him, Chen Yan thought, did Yan Sili think that as long as he gave his illegitimate son a good face, he should be elated and grateful?
However, it doesn't matter whether Yan Sili thinks this way, but Yan Sili really wants to get closer to Chen Yan. The Haoran Group and the Yan Group have always been somewhat hostile, and now he suddenly knows that the boss of the opponent's family is his son. As far as it is concerned, being able to subdue the opponent without bloodshed is the best countermeasure. After all, a strong alliance is much better than an enemy. Besides, Chen Yan is his son no matter what, and it is the seed he left behind. If Chen Yan doesn't stand in line with him, who should stand in line with? Moreover, Chen Lirong always showed an attitude of eagerly wanting Chen Yan to enter Yan's house, which also gave Yan Sili confidence. Maybe Chen Yan worked so hard. What he does is to get his father's approval and be accepted by him.
Everyone in the room was silent, only Yan Sili was talking. At this time, Yan Sili looked at Chen Lirong again and said, "You can resume work today. It is enough to reflect on it for two days. Be more careful in your work in the future. Don't worry about it." Something went wrong."
Seeing her being mentioned suddenly, Chen Lirong was about to say something, but Chen Yan stood in front of her and said, "My mother is tired after working in Yan's for so many years, let her rest for a few more days."
Chen Lirong glanced at Chen Yan, and unexpectedly did not answer the conversation again. Chen Lirong is a very assertive woman, and no one can make decisions for her. But at this time, after Chen Yan answered the question for her on her own initiative, she didn't know what to do. She was a little angry, but she had the feeling that her son could finally stand in front of her and shelter her from the wind and rain. This feeling was a bit novel and heartwarming. She had never experienced it before, and maybe when she was young, she also had feelings for him. Yan Sili had this kind of fantasy, but after years of training, she is no longer a simple little girl who can dream.
After Chen Yan finished speaking, Yan Sili's face was a little unhappy, but he didn't say anything else.
At this time, Yan Linlin said with a half-smile, "Director Chen really raised a good son. I didn't realize it before. His acting skills are really good. You are much better than Mr. Chen."
"It doesn't matter how well my son is acting, but at least he won't give money to others." Chen Lirong replied casually, making Yan Linlin's face immediately ugly. The pain point, Yan Linlin has a boyfriend who has been dating for several years, but that man is really not a good guy. Yan Linlin spent a lot of thought and money on him, but that man found a younger and more beautiful one a few days ago woman, and immediately dumped her mercilessly, because of this, Yan Linlin gritted his teeth at that man.
Chen Lirong used to be polite when talking to Yan Linlin. No matter how hard Yan Linlin satirized her, Chen Lirong would not tear her face apart. For her own career, Chen Lirong had many scruples, but now, Chen Lirong suddenly didn't want to bear it any longer. I just want to refute back quickly.
"Chairman Yan, is there anything else you want to say? It's getting late, we should go back." Chen Yan said something in a timely manner, and Yan Sili immediately felt a little embarrassed. In fact, Yan Sili had already given the kitchen to Chen Yan. They prepared a meal, and originally wanted Chen Yan and the others to eat here, but once Chen Yan said this, Yan Sili couldn't say anything about keeping them.
Yan Haobo was silent from the beginning to the end. After Chen Yan left, Yan Linlin looked at him and asked, "Haobo, do you think that Chen Yan is still the same child as before? When I saw him a few years ago, he still looked timid. Now that I look at him again, I almost dare not recognize him.”
Yan Haobo's face was very cold, he didn't answer Yan Linlin's words, he just said "I'm going back to the company first", then got up and left.
Chen Yan and Chen Lirong left Yan's house and asked Tang Sijie to drive them back. On the way back, they happened to pass by Yan's Group. Chen Lirong said he wanted to visit the company and asked Tang Sijie to stop the car.
Chen Yan didn't say anything about it. After all, Chen Lirong had stayed there for so many years, so it was understandable to want to see it. After Chen Lirong got off the car, Chen Yan left with Tang Sijie.
In the car with only two people left, Tang Sijie drove the car and glanced at Chen Yan in the rearview mirror from time to time, as if he had something to say. After hesitating for a long time, Tang Sijie asked, "Young Master Chen, can I Should I confess to Mr. Chen that her mistakes at work during this period were all because of my manipulations, not because of her ability, she ---"
Chen Yan looked over sharply, and even through the mirror with sharp eyes, Tang Sijie stopped abruptly.
But then Chen Yan smiled again: "Assistant Tang, my mother hasn't left the Yan family yet, why are you so anxious, besides, tell her what to do, is it to make her hate you, or to move you to tell her the truth?"
"No, I think Mr. Chen has been in a bad mood because of this matter------"
"Okay, when my business is over, you can explain to her how you like, but now, don't spoil my business."
"alright, I got it."
"By the way, Yan's new product is coming out."
"Soon, it will be released immediately after the new year."
"Well, you don't need to do anything next, just wait quietly, and remember not to show your feet to others."
"Friends from the audience, this is the Financial Channel, Mr. Chen Yan, chairman of Haoran Group ------"
"The chairman of Haoran Group unveiled the mystery for the first time. Mr. Chen Yan, who is only 20 years old, appeared in------"
