las vegas, a well-known luxury hotel.
at seven o'clock in the morning, the sun in the penthouse suite was almost dazzling.
next to the round table, a tall figure stood on his back, with a straight and stylish suit vest, which outlined the body line in a tight seam.
with his hands slanted into the pockets of his suit pants, he quietly looked down at the sprawling fountain outside the hotel.
this is yuan zheng.
at the other end of the round table were a number of attendees, from blonde foreigners to black-haired and black-eyed chinese.
they were talking about investment negotiations at the legg mason.
after the last person finished reporting, yuan zheng's assistant xu feng, qi li asked: "yuan zong, at present, our odds are 55, but the competitor lu group has a certain influence in north america after all, so the balance of many legg mason executives may still be inclined to lu' s."
yuan zheng slowly turned around.
the young entrepreneur has expanded the north american market in the past two years, known for his precise vision and decisiveness, and has formed a certain influence in the fields of finance, real estate and hotels.
every staff member sitting at the conference table was older than yuan zheng, but no one ever questioned yuan zheng's judgment and decision-making.
at this moment, yuan zheng's dark eyes looked at xu feng: "no, it is no longer five or five." we can get the luk boss to come, and we won this game a long time ago. tthere was
a faint smile under his eyes, but when xu feng wanted to investigate carefully, that little smile disappeared.
yuan zheng seemed unwilling to reveal his emotions too much in front of his subordinates, and his words were also to the point, and he said to the crowd: "that's it, i still have some things to deal with." prepare for each of you. the
brief internal meeting came to an end.
assistant xu feng had the illusion that the meeting should have been more than thirty minutes long, and his boss seemed to be deliberately compressing the meeting time.
the boss must have something more important and urgent on his hands now than today's hotel investment negotiations.
he followed yuan zheng for two years, from britain to the united states, knew yuan zheng's work habits and professional attitude, and knew that this boss who was younger than himself had superior willpower and ability to judge the situation, and absolutely did not allow himself to be distracted before major negotiations.
today, however, an exception was made.
ji yuxuan's man closed the notebook at hand and ordered xu feng to prepare the supplementary materials needed for the negotiation first in
a speed that was almost as fast as a speed.
yuan zheng turned his back, played with his mobile phone, and finally fixed his gaze on the time on the screen.
he is accustomed to using the time format of "hours, minutes and seconds", six digits, and the numbers in second units jump one by one, and when they wait until 59, all the numbers change instantaneously and enter a new time period.
this seems to represent some kind of fresh beginning. <
at 7:45, yuan zheng opened the address book and pressed the phone number of "mother".
at the last moment when xu feng packed up his things and left the room, he heard the young and promising yuan zong calmly call out "mom" to the person on the other end of the phone.
it turns out that more important than negotiations are family, not bad.
-
yuan zheng sat on the couch and listened to his mother fang jing ask a series of trivial things about life, and he had the patience to answer them one by one.
fang jing was surprised on the phone: "why did you suddenly call me?" don't you always miss me?
she naturally knew this wandering son, and she was also a lord who did not have anything to do but ascend to the three treasures hall.
yuan zheng did not hesitate and asked directly: "mom, i heard that my brother is married?"
"huh?" fang jing's tone was extremely surprised, "no? who said that?
she spoke quickly and briefly mentioned the fact that ye nanzhou had returned to jincheng to see them not long ago, "at that time, it was not mentioned at all, and lao ye did not say it later, that is definitely not true." after
a pause, fang jing added: "although nanzhou and his father do not deal with each other, they will never hide from me." if you get married, you will definitely tell me that this is a happy event, and you have to talk to his mother. who the hell are you listening to? how can such a major life event be said indiscriminately? yuan zheng
suddenly changed his posture, folded his legs, as if his mood was suddenly happy, and even his tone was loose: "qian yueqing, he saw my brother in rongcheng." probably misunderstood.
fang jing also knew several brothers and friends around her son, so she said, "yueqing?" wwhy is this kid still so out of tune? you can ask nanzhou directly. you guys too, wasn't the relationship very good before? you suddenly stopped contacting after you went abroad.
yuan zheng seemed to "hmm" a little: "i know, i will contact you when i turn back." yes
, he changed his mobile phone number, mom, you send me one? fang jing was
speechless for a moment, and her feelings were that she didn't even give each other mobile phone numbers. she said, "nanzhou is like you, working alone outside." i'm all looking forward to your family as soon as possible. don't let us old fathers and mothers worry about it.
yuan zheng smiled lightly: "there is nothing to worry about, and it is not a child." fang jing said, "that's
not what i said, after all, i'm not in front of you, and i can't take care of it." you haven't been doing well in the past two years, and nanzhou had a car accident a few years ago..."
"what?" yuan zheng straightened his whole body from a lazy state, and his back spine was even tight, "what's going on?
fang jing said, "i also learned about it recently, it was his father who said he leaked his mouth and asked me." the time nanzhou went home, i didn't dare to ask. anyway, both father and son are taboo, i will not mention, the province to everyone to add to the blockage.
yuan zheng asked again, with an imperceptible urgency in his tone: "mom, was my brother seriously injured in the car accident?" what's wrong with the body?
fang jing said in a low voice, "his father said that he broke a rib and raised it for a long time." but i can't ask the rest. i was so sad that i didn't let me know. ay. "do
you know the exact time?"
fang jing seemed to speculate, somewhat ambiguously: "maybe it's the second year you went to the uk?" you're definitely in the uk anyway. heck, you really care about nanzhou, don't ask me, you go ask nanzhou. yyou young people are good at talking, maybe nanzhou is willing to talk to you? didn't you always follow nanzhou's ass before, and you didn't even want my mother, so you had to recognize him as a brother?
yuan zheng subconsciously retorted, "i didn't."
fang jing said, "okay, i'll give you the phone and you talk to him." mom doesn't know what's going on with you, but she always wants you to be brothers and be a family like before.
yuan zheng looked at the blue sky in the distance, thinking in his heart, when a family is ok, it is not necessary to be a brother.
after ending the call with his mother, yuan zheng contacted a friend in china and sent ye nanzhou's name to the other party. "help me find out the movements and relationships in the past five years, it is very urgent, and i will give you the cost first."
the other party was unusually cheerful: "well, i'll contact you tomorrow." -
blue sky day orphanage.
when xiao lotus woke up
, dad had already gone to work.
he yawned with his mouth wide open, lying on his back, and when his little ankle twisted, he would pull the thin quilt, and he would lazily twist his ankle to play.
i feel like i have a very flexible foot and neck, which is great~
i can twist it for my dad to see at night! <
xiao lotus remembered that when he was in the restaurant last night, his father puffed up two cheeks, and his father was still wearing round glasses, which was really cute.
cute daddy baby ~
little lotus sweetly turned around, obediently lying on her stomach, her little toes rubbing the sheets, her two arms sliding like swimming, holding the little dolphin by the pillow and rubbing it greasy and crooked.
when grandma chen entered the house, she saw xiao lotus holding a small dolphin swimming around the bed, and the sheets were about to slide onto the carpet. "little lotus, you have to get up." your father said that in a moment uncle liu would come and pick you up to play at lu lu's house. did you say yes yesterday? "
oh! right grandma. xiao lotus raised his thin neck, thinking of the gift he still wanted to give to lu lu's brother, and called, "grandma, yesterday's little rice dumplings, xiao lotus wants to bring to lu lu's brother." is it okay for grandma to help xiao lotus get one?
"got it. grandma goes to get ready, you get up first, grandma makes the bed. grandma chen carried the little guy from the bed to the side, along with the little dolphin.
xiao lotus laughed stupidly, lying at the end of the bed and twisting her ass: "grandma ~"
grandma chen straightened the pillow and quilt, pulled the sheets on both sides neatly, picked up xiao lotus, and said: "still petite, go brush your teeth." so happy to sleep with dad?
"hmm~" little lotus leaned on grandma's shoulder and couldn't help but smile at the corners of her mouth.
-
when lu lu came, xiao lotus had just eaten breakfast, and he pounced and ran over, "brother! brother, here you are! <
lu lu hugged the cheerful little elk: "go slowly." although i hadn't
seen him for only two days, it seemed like a long time had passed.
he couldn't stay at home early in the morning and wanted to come early to pick up the elk and go home.
xiao lotus whispered in lu lu's brother's ear: "brother, yesterday my father took xiao lotus to take pictures, and took many, many photos." is it good for xiao lotus to show his brother?
"where?" lu lu took the initiative to hold the little elk's soft little hand, "in the bedroom?"
"mm-hmm~" little lotus nodded his little head and pulled his brother to run inside.
when grandma chen saw the situation, she smiled and
said to uncle liu: "xiao liu, you can sit for a while, children have many trivial things." she
went to the kitchen to get the rice dumplings.
uncle liu is not in a hurry, there is a little lotus to play with the little young master, he is equivalent to temporary relief, isn't it wonderful?
in the bedroom.
lu lu took a single photo of the little elk on the bedside table at a glance.
the little elk in the photo is wearing a light coffee one-piece coat, lying on the off-white carpet, with two small hands on his chin, and is seriously reading a fairy tale book.
captured from the front side, the camera perfectly shows the fleshy cheeks and bright eyes, together with the long curly eyelashes, looking like a cute and delicate doll.
lu lu asked softly, "xiao lotus, can my brother ask you for this photo?" mmy brother likes it and wants to take it home and put it at home, can he?
"huh?" xiao lotus didn't seem to be tangled much, so he took off the picture frame, "well, xiao lotus gave it to his brother!" because his brother was
always very kind to him and gave him toys and flowers, and now that he knows that his brother likes photo frames, he agrees without hesitation.
lu lu grabbed the picture frame: "thank you xiao lotus." shunshi grabbed the little elk's finger, "let's go, go to my brother's house, we'll find a place to put the picture of the little lotus!"
xiao lotus was pulled out by lu luxing, and he trotted happily.
thinking that i could stay with lu lu's brother for a long time today, i was more and more happy, and after running out, i waved to grandma chen with a giggle, "grandma, xiao lotus went to lu lu's brother's house, grandma don't think about xiao lotus!"
grandma
chen waved at this little mischievous: "go ahead."
xiao lotus was led by her brother and jumped to the ground.
before getting into the car, xiao lotus suddenly remembered one thing --
he made a small milk sound of "ah".
lu lu thought he had forgotten something, so he asked, "what happened to xiao lotus?" xiao lotus's
more real little eyes looked at his brother's eyes, and he said with an unusually serious look: "today xiao lotus wants to stick to his brother, is it not my brother?" lu lu
was warmed by these frank words, and he gently pushed the little elk into the car, and whispered with a low eye: "hmm." but
in his heart, he thought excitedly, the little elk had not forgotten to stick to himself!
little elk, always the cutest!
