Chapter 8: defect on the spot
Seeing Su Man and watching her daughter drink the soup, Bai Yaojin just casually asked her about her recent work.
Not just the strange phone call from the husband. Bai Yaojin noticed something was wrong the first moment she saw Su Man.
Even if the relationship between the two is not as close as a mother and daughter in an ordinary family, she still has an intuition that belongs to a mother towards her child.
Su Man didn't hide it from her, and expressed her thoughts frankly and honestly: "I negotiated with him yesterday. I don't want to wait any longer. I want real power. In the future, I can influence the Su Group and even become the leading real power."
Su Man put down the spoon and looked at her mother, with a faint ambition in her eyes, she was bound to win.
Bai Yaojin, who is also from a wealthy family, certainly wouldn't foolishly ask where her daughter came from. She has no desire for power, but she sees a lot.
Moreover, in her mind, her daughter is the sure-fire successor of the Su Group. It is normal to have such ambitions and ambitions.
When Su Chengwen and her Bai Yaojin got married, they agreed that their daughter would inherit the Su Group. Her daughter is the best among the younger generation.
Not her, who else?
"Will it be too urgent? There is still time for you to take your time anyway."
Although Bai Yaojin didn't understand the work of the Su Group, he also had some ideas about the position of the group.
She was afraid that her daughter would not be able to take it, and she was afraid that she would be counterproductive if she was in a hurry.
Although Su Chengwen is the chairman of the Su Group, as the daughter of the Bai family, she also has shares in the group, plus the commitment of the two. But the daughter is really junior, and the group is not a family of three.
The old man of the Su family and the rest of the Su family still firmly hold the power that belongs to them and will not let others easily interfere.
Bai Yaojin only owns shares and a fictitious directorship. He has no knowledge of the specific work of the group, and no real power.
If the daughter is recognized by the Su family, her qualifications will also be deep, and it will be a matter of course to be recognized by everyone.
Su Man seemed to have seen through her thoughts, knowing that she had listened to the reasons of the Su family and believed it, and told the truth behind her beautiful imagination.
"Whoever holds the rights and interests will be willing to have a share of the pie, and when will they be willing to have someone climb on their heads."
"Nothing really comes naturally, it's only when the situation is stronger than people and things are settled."
Bai Yaojin stared blankly at the daughter in front of her who made her feel a little unfamiliar. She was originally just a little cold and rational daughter, why did she suddenly behave like this today...
Su Man looked at her mother who didn't know anything at this time, and felt that her mother, who was reckless and anxious, spoke plain but explicit facts and truths.
"Everyone on the board knows that I am the daughter of Su Chengwen and Bai Yaojin. I am the next-generation successor of the Su family that the two agreed upon back then. After graduating with a master's degree, I will return to the group to study with the current chairman, and other directors may not be qualified to block or stop me. stop."
"Why do you have to hide your identity and learn from the people below you from the lowest level?"
"Are they really willing to abide by the agreement back then?"
"Are the rules of the Su Group really that strict?"
Looking at her mother who seemed a little dazed and didn't quite believe it, Su Man couldn't help but mocked the people of the Su family again.
Her good uncles, aunts, and little aunts didn't let their children hide their identities from the grassroots, and only wanted to promote their own family to the top. How could it be her turn to be a "justifiable" successor, but she just had other ideas and didn't want to keep her promise.
Not to mention the sanctimonious and under-fed hyenas around the Su family, who have done a lot of cheating and betrayal behind their backs, and dressed in bright clothes.
"Didn't my father complain about the various troubles other directors have caused him several times. I am his "own person". The faster I get to a higher position, the better it will be for him?"
"It's one thing to help me fight for failure, it's another to not fight for it."
"All I want is a chance, to the chance that I can get to the highest position at the moment."
Su Man didn't talk to her mother anymore. The Su family had long since wanted her to inherit the family business. Instead, she said in a calm tone that it was difficult to refute even if Su Chengwen was present, which sounded more acceptable.
In fact, she didn't really want to enter the group to fight for power and gain to keep her property, and to fight with illegitimate children, nor was she staring at the three-acre land of the Su Group.
But she wants these people to understand that no one should take away a single cent of what should belong to them. People who have betrayed their families, people who want the property of their legitimate wives and daughters, she will destroy them all and leave them in vain.
Bai Yaojin's heartbeat, which had been speeding up, gradually calmed down. After pondering for a while, she felt that what her daughter said was indeed reasonable, and quickly changed sides.
He also made a decision: "Although I don't know what other ideas you have, I think you have made up your mind, and what you said is really good."
"Then let's give it a try, the big deal is failure, and we'll try again next time."
After speaking, the mother made a cheering gesture to Su Man, and her gentle and gentle smile showed her trust and love for her daughter.
On the one hand, Su Man wanted to give her mother a vaccination in advance to prepare her mentally. The Su family was not as good as it seemed.
On the other hand, I also expressed my opinion with her, hoping that she would not be a father and grandfather, or even a lobbyist of the Su family to stop her, but I didn't expect her mother to agree with just two or three sentences.
Thinking of the indescribable feelings of the mother and daughter when they knew the truth, the final fate—
Su Man suddenly fell silent, not knowing what to say.
In the past, Su Man had also had dissatisfaction and resentment against her mother. I feel that my mother values her father, family and interests more than her daughter.
She lives an idle life by herself, and all the burdens and worries have nothing to do with her, she just needs to enjoy.
But later, these thoughts that Su Man once had slowly faded away. Especially the resoluteness of her mother after her divorce from her father also allowed her to see a different side of her mother.
Su Man, who has experienced death, saw the truth of the world, and reviewed the "plots" again and again, feels even more: each individual has his own path, and his mother is just a victim.
With a weak constitution and a simple, rich and loving family environment, he obeys his father at home, and naturally obeys his husband after marriage.
Mother only wants everyone to be good in everything. She has never done anything bad, and she has never been sorry for anyone. She has always tried her best to give everyone the care and concern she can.
Instead of complaining about her mother, it's better to reflect on her daughter's poor behavior, and she has never been a caring little padded jacket like other people's families.
This time, Su Man also wanted to help her mother accept the truth earlier and choose a life that might be different.
"You haven't been home for a long time. Are you going home tomorrow?"
Bai Yaojin didn't seem to notice Su Man's complicated mood at all, looked around in her daughter's apartment, and showed her expectant eyes.
"Mom has recently learned new dishes with Aunt Tong. She also takes care of your room every day at home. The quilts have just been dried, and they are waiting for you to come home."
Seeing her mother's expectant and even eager eyes, Su Man was relieved.
"I've been busy recently, so I don't need to live. And... he won't quarrel with me at that time, and I won't stay long if the quarrel arises."
Su Man's words were not very pleasant, but Bai Yaojin didn't know that her daughter actually meant that she agreed.
"No, no, Mom helps you talk to him. Whatever he says, ignore him and ignore him."
With a satisfied smile on Bai Yaojin's face, she carefully packed her things.
Before leaving, she suddenly hugged Su Man, the familiar mother's breath and the tender embrace made Su Man stunned in place.
"Manman, if you are unhappy or tired, remember to tell your mother that she may not be able to help you at work, but she will work hard in whatever she can do."
"Or just listen to you and make you feel better."
"Mom loves you!"
I didn't wait for Su Man to answer. Bai Yaojin said goodbye to her cheerfully and left the apartment with the bodyguard.
Su Man was in front of the window looking at her mother, who was only a small figure below, and turned to look at the window on her side. Su Man also waved to her, then watched her get into the car, and the car slowly drove away.
I was a little annoyed that I should have been softer just now, and said something to her to make her happy...
Sure enough, she is still not very good at facing people who like her and love her.
Like this... I'm not used to saying things like I love you.
Su Man, Su Man, the road to learning is long!
After her mother left, Su Man reopened the computer and entered another line of reflection today into the newly created document. Next time, you can also hug your mother, speak softly, and pay attention to changes! !
Four exclamation marks indicate importance!
Then, Su Man took out the half-written material from the drawer and got down to business.
Before, the report she took to her father was written by her based on the experience she had accumulated in the group for many years before her rebirth. It seems to be able to bluff people, but it is indeed "a painstaking effort", every word and every sentence written is concise and practical, and it is impossible for outsiders to do it easily.
However, the actual usefulness of this report is not very large. This is really just a stepping stone.
She wants Su Chengwen to change her impression and move her position without really being too wary of her.
Instead of using a computer, Su Man handwritten and drew pictures one after another to help him peel off the silk and see clearly the people and events that will have a huge impact on the Su Group and the entire market and era in the future. , to straighten out the internal logic and key points of one interpersonal network and one event after another.
This work continued for several hours, and Su Man didn't let out a breath until he made a preliminary picture.
After carefully reading the stack of manuscripts several times, Su Man took the stack of invaluable and priceless handwritten manuscripts one by one and put them into the shredder she had previously bought to process official documents.
Su Man watched the results of a few hours turn into scum that could no longer be seen and could not be fought, but it had been introduced into her mind. She was a little tired from the intensely focused and fast-paced work.
At this moment, a gust of cool wind blew through her hair through the window, Su Man looked up at the dark sky outside the window. Her expression was stern, like a cat that proudly saw its prey, her eyes were not as lazy and casual as a cat, but more like a beast.
"Ding", WeChat sounded a tone, a picture of a seemingly ordinary box lunch, and a sentence brought Su Man back to this seemingly real and ordinary world.
[I have been busy until now, and the lunch I ate is average. At this point in time, have you eaten? 】
This is a message from Yan Chengan. He is currently rehearsing his graduation drama in the small theater of the Film Academy. Now is his time to eat and rest.
Su Man pulled out of his thoughts just now, only to realize that it was past seven o'clock. It should have been the stew from her mother that filled her stomach in the afternoon, and she didn't feel hungry at all.
Su Man typed quickly on the phone: [I have eaten. 】
She was used to reporting good news but not bad news. She remembered the self-examination record she had just opened after she came back from rebirth, deleted these three words, and re-entered: [After drinking a cup of nourishing soup in the afternoon, I feel not hungry...]
On the other end of WeChat, Yan Chengan looked at Su Man's reply and typed and asked, "Are you busy just now?" 】
Su Man: [I had something at hand just now, I was in a stage, I was going to take a rest, so I was in a daze. 】
Yan Chengan: [In a daze? 】
Yan Chengan found the expression of a dazed villain, and continued to type: [Expression package.jpg, I thought you would hardly be in a daze in your daily life? 】
[Because I can't remember how you looked in a daze. Even when we watched dramas and movies together, you were serious as if you were the leader of my appreciation class exchange group? 】
Su Man was stunned, and honestly told the truth.
Su Man: [It is true that I rarely stay in a daze, but more often it seems that it is because no one can see it. 】
[I thought I was thinking seriously, but I was secretly in a daze; I thought I was angry, but I just had no idea...]
Su Man sat by the window sill and looked at the display on the other side that he was typing, and jumped out a new message.
Yan Chengan looked at the message from Su Man, and couldn't tell how he felt. He really didn't seem to know Su Man as well as he thought.
So, Yan Chengan typed a reply under the night light.
[Then next time I catch you in a daze. Then, you can now go get something to eat. I've finished eating, and I have to continue the rehearsal. Let's talk at night? 】
After daily chatting with seemingly innocuous conversations, Yan Chengan was about to put his phone aside when he saw Su Man replying to his message.
It's a screenshot of the dinner she just ordered, and a few short sentences: [I have ordered, let's talk later in the evening. 】
Yan Chengan raised his head to see that his classmates and teachers were about to rest. He got up and put his mobile phone in his schoolbag. At the last moment, he saw that Su Man had sent several new messages in a row.
Su Man: [By the way, I don't seem to be in a daze when I'm with you. 】
Su Man: [Probably because you feel that time is precious, and you are at ease and happy? 】
Su Man: [At times like this, I won't be in a daze. 】
Learning from the experience of regret in the conversation with her mother just now, and the many misunderstandings and alienations caused by her embarrassment of expressing her inner thoughts when she and Yan Chengan got along in the last life, Su Man honestly corrected herself this time. The bad habit of not talking about your thoughts, and seriously expressing your own thoughts.
But I don't know that many times, her straightforwardness makes someone's heart beat half a beat faster.
