Ao Rui was working in the office when she received a call from her father.
"Arui." As soon as the call was connected, Ao Zhongming couldn't wait to call his son's nickname.
"President, are you back?" Ao Rui greeted politely. Since he started working in the company, he has been calling his father CEO. In official matters, he distinguishes between public and private affairs, and his strict and positive attitude is far more severe than that of his father, who is the president.
outstanding.
"I heard that you were hunted down not long ago. Is it true?" Ao Zhongming asked worriedly. This was the most important purpose of his call.
"There's nothing wrong with me, CEO, don't worry." Ao Rui comforted his father.
"Well, you go home for a meal today." Ao Zhongming requested. He had to confirm that his son was really fine before he could rest assured, and there were many things he said on the phone that he couldn't explain clearly.
"Okay, I'll come over after get off work." Ao Rui promised.
"Okay, I'll wait for you." Ao Zhongming was full of expectations.
"That's it, I'll hang up first."
"good."
Ao Rui hung up the phone with an expressionless face, and then continued to concentrate on his work, not being affected at all by his father's call.
As soon as the off-duty time came, he left the company and headed to Ao's house.
The Ao family has a unique geographical location and is very suitable for people to live in. Its area is so wide that it is impossible to measure, and the backyard used for leisure and play alone reaches several hundred square meters. The architectural style is classical European style, which is beautiful and reflects the nobility of the owner.
identity of.
But no matter how beautiful this place is, it does not belong to Ao Rui. He moved away from here when he was 18 years old, living alone and rarely coming back to reminisce with his family.
"President, Auntie." Ao Rui walked to the center of the huge living room and greeted his father and stepmother politely. Although he was taciturn in front of his elders, he never lacked courtesy and respect.
"Arui, are you okay? Why are you being hunted down when you are so good? Have you offended someone?" Stepmother He Xueyi walked up to Ao Rui first before Ao Zhongming, caring about him like her own son.
, eyes filled with deep worry and concern.
In the eyes of the servants in the Ao family, He Xueyi was a typical good wife and mother. Although she was Ao Rui's stepmother, she regarded Ao Rui, who was not born to him, as her own.
"Thank you for your concern, auntie. I'm fine." Ao Rui smiled lightly.
"Arui, we went to the United States to visit your brother. We originally boarded the plane to return happily, but unexpectedly as soon as we got home, we heard Butler Liu tell us that you were being hunted down not long ago. Your dad and I were worried about you.
I couldn't sit still for a moment. Now that I see you safe and sound, the big stone hanging in my heart has finally fallen. Have you found out the mastermind behind it now?" This is the question that He Xueyi is most concerned about.
"The real culprit behind the scenes has not been found yet." Ao Rui was calm and composed, completely lacking the panic and excitement of the two elders.
"Arui, why can't I find it?" This time, the person who spoke was Ao Zhongming. There was eagerness, excitement, and anger in his eyes.
"The killer fled abroad after the mission failed and has not returned home yet," Ao Rui said.
"These killers are so arrogant. They dare to attack Tai Sui. It's really a life-threatening situation." Ao Zhongming lowered his head and cursed.
The Ao family was extremely wealthy, and both Ao Zhongming and Ao Rui were well-known figures in the shopping mall. However, Ao Zhongming did not expect that the real murderer would attack his son while he was abroad.
"I am actively investigating in various ways, and the truth should not be far away. Moreover, I have made watertight defense arrangements, so the president does not need to worry too much," Ao Rui said.
He Xueyi intervened in the conversation between father and son and said gently to them: "Zhong Ming, Ah Rui, the food is about to get cold. We'd better eat first. Since our lives are not in danger for the time being, we can discuss it later."
"Arui, your aunt is right, let's eat first," Ao Zhongming said.
"Yes." Ao Rui echoed.
Then, the three of them walked into the dinner table together.
He Xueyi put a piece of spare ribs into Ao Rui's bowl and said kindly: "A Rui, this is your favorite steamed spare ribs. Knowing that you are coming over for dinner tonight, I specially asked the kitchen to make it."
"Thank you, Auntie." Ao Rui said with a smile.
"Arui, look, this big table is full of your favorite dishes, all made by your aunt in the kitchen." Ao Zhongming said happily to his son.
"Thank you, Auntie." Ao Rui smiled at He Xueyi again.
"You usually rely on eating out for your main meals. If you continue like this for a long time, your nutrition will definitely be imbalanced. Auntie asked you to go home to eat every day, but you said you were too lazy to run around and had no time. Since it is a rare time for you to come back, Auntie will definitely let you enjoy the food at home.
Warm atmosphere. Remember to eat more, the food outside is not as delicious as the food at home." He Xueyi was like a biological mother, caring and feeling sorry for Ao Rui.
"Okay." Ao Rui smiled. "President, Auntie, you also use chopsticks."
Ao Zhongming felt very relieved to see the warm interaction between his son and He Xueyi, like a biological mother and son.
After eating, Ao Zhongming called Ao Rui to the study to talk.
"Arui, is there no problem with the company during my absence?" During the period of Ao Zhongming's absence, all the company's affairs were taken over by Ao Rui.
"Everything is normal." Ao Rui said simply and concisely.
"That's good, I know you are capable enough, so your aunt and I can leave so safely." Ao Zhongming smiled happily.
Ao Rui looked at his father silently, his eyes as deep as a stream of autumn water.
"Arui, Zhi'an will finish his studies and return to China in a month. I also want to retreat behind the scenes and spend some leisure time with your aunt. Therefore, the position of president will be handed over to you sooner or later. If you have no objection,
At the quarterly board meeting next month, I will officially announce my retirement, and you will take over the position of President Ao." Ao Zhongming said earnestly while looking at his son.
Ao Zhi'an is Ao Rui's half-brother and He Xueyi's biological son.
"Thank you, CEO, for your kindness. Since this is your decision, I have no objection." Ao Rui smiled lightly.
"Your strength has long surpassed that of me, a veteran who has been in the business for decades. I should abdicate as soon as possible and let you have the power to govern. I believe that the Ao family will flourish even more under your management."
Ao Zhongming's brows were full of joy. With a successful career and a harmonious family, he had no regrets in his life. Except for Ao Rui's mother, Zhu Surong, that was the only regret in his life...
Ao Rui didn't speak, just listened quietly.
"Arui," Ao Zhongming's eyes suddenly became gentle when he looked at his son, "I admit that between you and Zhi'an, because of your mother's relationship, I do prefer you. But I still hope that you brothers can always be together.
Harmony and working together to promote the Ao family, this is what I want to see most."
"Yeah." Ao Rui replied softly.
"I mentioned my decision to Zhi'an in the United States, and Zhi'an didn't have any objections. He has always admired you as a big brother, so when Zhi'an comes back next month, you can take office with peace of mind."
After a long silence, Ao Rui stood up and said goodbye: "President, if I have nothing else to do, I will leave first."
"Won't you stay a little longer?" Ao Zhongming looked a little disappointed. Every time his son came home, he always came and went in a hurry. In the company, he focused on official matters, so the father and son rarely had the opportunity to talk to each other.
"No, I have something else to do." Ao Rui declined politely.
"Okay, be careful when driving on the road." Ao Zhongming asked with concern.
"Yes." Ao Rui said goodbye politely, turned and left the study.
When Ao Zhongming and his wife were sleeping at night, Ao Zhongming said to He Xueyi: "Arui has not rejected my request. I will officially hand over the position of president to him at the quarterly chairman meeting next month."
"With Ari's strength, he has long been the best candidate identified by the board of directors." He Xueyi sat in front of the dressing cabinet, applying night cream and said to her husband.
"Arui is a born business wizard. My conservative and outdated business methods are obviously behind the current trend. But after Rui returned from studying abroad, he fully applied all the advanced management methods he learned abroad. Our Ao family
The fact that our performance ranks first in the country is mostly due to him. His efforts and achievements are obvious to everyone in the company, and the position of president belongs to him."
"Since he and Zhi'an have such a good relationship, and Zhi'an accepts your decision, I have nothing more to say." He Xueyi said...
"Okay, then next month's quarterly board meeting will be held as scheduled." Ao Zhongming announced.
