The secretary walked in with the phone, "Mr. Xu, this is the video call from the headquarters."
Xu Huayang raised his eyebrows, "Headquarters?"
He looked at the time, then stood up and took it.
All the anger just now disappeared, and his tone was more gentlemanly and gentle than usual, "Darling, it must be early morning over there, why did you get up so early?"
On the other end of the phone, he replied in broken Chinese, "I miss you."
Xu Huayang didn't show it on his face, but he was extremely disgusted in his heart. He blew a kiss and said, "I miss you too."
He gave the secretary a forward look, then pressed his head and asked her to squat down.
The other end of the phone noticed something strange, "Dear, are you feeling unwell?"
Xu Huayang's face turned slightly stiff, "Well, the temperature has been a bit hot recently..."
"I'm going to Tianzhou next month, please prepare yourself then!"
Xu Huayang hurriedly pressed the secretary's shoulder and motioned her not to make a sound, "Next month? There are still a lot of things in the company, right?"
"Why, don't you want me to come over?"
"No, no, I'm worried about your health!"
"Next month is my sixtieth birthday. According to your tradition, this should be a very grand day, right? I hope to share this joy with you then."
As he said that, the other end of the phone added, "By the way, Darling, you can invite your friends and family over then, and we'll have a birthday climbing ladder. I haven't met your family yet."
"good!"
Xu Huayang nodded stiffly, but his heart felt like a huge wave!
Why the hell are you inviting all your family and friends over?
How to write an invitation?
Welcome everyone to my girlfriend’s 60th birthday?
Xu Huayang felt cold all over his body, but he did not dare to refuse. Next month, he would not be allowed to come over under any circumstances.
Otherwise, everything he worked so hard on in Tianzhou would become a laughing stock?
What will Sophie think of him then?
What would that guy Zhao Dong think?
He is now a dragon that everyone respects, and he doesn't want to be a pitiable creature in everyone's eyes!
After chatting briefly for a while, the other end of the phone talked about work, "By the way, your work progress there is a bit slow, and the board of directors has a lot of objections to you."
Xu Huayang felt sweat on his forehead, "Yes, I will speed up."
He has been busy chasing Sophie back recently and basically ignored the company's affairs.
"I'm under a lot of pressure to help you get to the position in Greater China. Several of my sons are putting pressure on me. I hope you can achieve results. Do you understand what I mean?"
"I understand, I understand!"
"That's good!"
After hanging up the phone, Xu Huayang slammed the phone against the wall.
Bang!
The little secretary was startled.
Xu Huayang pulled her up and warned her like crazy: "If you dare to tell a third person about what you just said you heard, you should know what will happen!"
The secretary nodded hurriedly, but felt shameless in his heart.
It turns out that this seemingly glamorous CEO only rose to power through such dirty means.
Comparing two people, they are nothing more than half a catty to eight ounces.
Just as he was thinking about it, Xu Huayang was already sitting on the sofa and hooked his fingers.
…
On the other side, no one spoke in the Zhao family's old house.
Zhao Dong called just now and said he was on the way and would be back soon.
The dinner table is steaming hot and all the hot dishes have been prepared.
Xiaoman has finished his homework and is watching TV now.
He wasn't hungry. He had already eaten enough when he ran to the kitchen three times just now.
My sister-in-law, however, was very hungry. After working all day, she came home to cook, but she turned around and saw that it was already nine o'clock and no one was there yet.
My stomach was growling with hunger, but I was too embarrassed to eat first, and my face looked a little ugly.
There was anger in my heart but I couldn't let it out, so I could only shout to my son: "Xiao Man, go to bed quickly. What time is it? Can you go to class tomorrow?"
Xiao Man was unconvinced, "No, I haven't seen my aunt yet!"
The sister-in-law didn’t look good, “What are you looking at? Go in and sleep!”
The eldest brother was advising on the side, "Xiaoman doesn't want to sleep, just let him wait a little longer."
"Wait a minute, what time is it?"
As I was talking, I heard the sound of walking outside.
…
In the corridor, Zhao Dong was carrying large and small packages. Although Sophie had already met her family, it was still special to bring a girl back to meet her parents for the first time.
Not to mention Sophie.
The unhappiness just now disappeared long ago. He held Zhao Dong's hand tightly and asked nervously, "Zhao Dong, don't knock on the door yet. What should I say when I see your family later?"
Zhao Dong laughed. He was used to seeing Sophie's Yun Danfengqing, but seeing her looking nervous like a little girl now, he felt a little uncomfortable.
Where is there any trace of the usual pride and strength?
He smiled bitterly and shook his head, "It's normal. Haven't you seen him in the hospital before?"
Sophie rolled her eyes, "Can that be the same? A hospital is a hospital, and home is home! And your nephew, it's my first time to see him too. I'm not good at dealing with children!"
"Xiao Man is just a little naughty. If you see him, you will definitely like him!"
"Hopefully!"
Sophie shook off Zhao Dong, took out the powder and touched up her makeup, and while busy, she asked, "Look, is my hair messy?"
“It’s not cluttered, it makes our house shine!”
Sophie put a straight face on her face, "Don't think that with your sweet words, I will forget what happened just now. You can explain it to me clearly when I get back later!"
Zhao Dong stepped forward bravely, but before he could knock on the door, his mother had already opened the door.
Mother Zhao beamed, "I'm finally back!"
When they first met, she was extremely satisfied with Zhao Dong as her girlfriend.
Educated, well-behaved and sensible in front of elders.
He is well-educated. I heard he is an international student and studied finance abroad.
I have a good family. I heard my boss say several times that my family is in business.
And she is beautiful, even more beautiful than those female stars on TV.
The most important thing is to be able to control my son's stubborn donkey.
Ever since she was a child, apart from Sophie, she had never seen her son be so obedient in the hands of any woman.
Mother Zhao hugged Sophie affectionately and said, "Xiao Fei, come in quickly. Are you tired from the journey? Are you hungry? Sit down and rest for a while. The meal is ready. If you are hungry, let's eat now."
Sophie was a little embarrassed, "Auntie, you are too polite, please don't treat me like an outsider."
Zhao Dong followed behind and closed the door, complaining, "Mom, this is so outrageous. If you have a daughter-in-law, you don't want a son?"
No one paid any attention to him. Only his eldest brother helped to take the things, and he did not forget the lesson. "You said you would just go home. Why did you buy so many things?"
Zhao Dong complained, "Isn't this Xiao Fei's insistence?"
The sister-in-law stood up from the sofa. Although she was unhappy, she definitely couldn't let it happen at this time.
She gave way, "Xiao Fei is here, sit down quickly!"
On the other side, Zhao Xiaoman jumped up from the sofa, looked at Sophie intently, then ran behind Zhao Dong and grabbed the hem of his clothes tightly.
Zhao Dong smiled, "What's the matter with you kid?"
The eldest brother also laughed, "Didn't you just shout about meeting my aunt? Why are you hiding now?"
Xiaoman showed his flattery and said shyly, "Uncle, auntie is so beautiful, she looks like a fairy."
After the words fell, the whole family was quiet for a moment, and then everyone burst into laughter.
