Chapter 40:
Li Mingxuan rushing back to Zhongjing from Haicheng overnight was known to Li Mingxuan by accident early in the morning.
Father Li didn't mean to check Li Mingxuan's whereabouts, he just suddenly found Li Mingxuan for something, but found that Li Mingxuan's mobile phone was turned off, so he could only call Li Mingxuan's assistant. Unexpectedly, after the assistant answered the phone, Ai Ai said that Li Mingxuan had rushed back to Zhongjing last night because of an urgent matter, and the words were full of concealment for Li Mingxuan.
What did Li Mingxuan return to Beijing for? Fortunately, Father Li didn't ask any further questions, and the assistant breathed a sigh of relief while feeling guilty.
& nbsp;
Li Mingxuan rushed back to Beijing overnight, for whom? Where did he not go home? These two questions kept lingering in Father Li's mind. Thinking of the conversation between Li Mingxuan's father and son before his business trip, Shen Xi's name faintly emerged.
Father Li frowned. As a father, he knew Ming Xuan's temperament very well. Ming Xuan's rationality is not an impulsive person. If he really rushed back to Zhongjing overnight for Shen Xi's sake, then he really took Shen Xi to heart. Over the years, Father Li watched Ming Xuan alone, hoping that he would meet someone he likes, but why is this person Shen Xi?
Who is Shen Xi? Shen Xi is Ming Xuan's cousin, the one who holds one-third of the inheritance rights of the Shen family, and the abandoned son of the Shen family.
Not to mention the blood relationship between the two, but the identity of Shen Xi is not suitable for them to be together. Father Li and the Shen family have been friends for so many years. Although they have relatives, it is also because Father Li knows Shen Dehan and has never interfered in any affairs of the Shen family. If Ming Xuan is really with Shen Xi, then what is Ming Xuan's position in the future when the Shen brothers fight? Even if Shen Xiru is so incompetent and has no interest in Shen Shi, will Dehan doubt Mingxuan's purpose of approaching Shen Xi? Will he think that behind all this is because of his own inspiration?
Father Li sighed silently, Mingxuan saw all the special things he had about Shen Xi before, the reason why he just reminded and didn't say it was because he believed in Mingxuan's judgment, Mingxuan himself will know what choice to make.
It's just that Father Li couldn't believe his judgment when he listened to the cover in the assistant's words. Up to now, Father Li only hopes that all this is his guess, and Ming Xuan understands what he is doing in his heart.
It was past ten o'clock in the morning when Li Mingxuan arrived at the company. To his surprise, his father already knew the news of his return and sent a secretary to block his office early in the morning to express his desire to see him.
Li Mingxuan knew that his father must have guessed something. He also planned to confess to his father directly, but now he appeared in front of his father with a calm expression.
"Father!"
Li Mingxuan's expression is very calm, his eyebrows are calm, and his eyes are looking at Li's father honestly.
Father Li's heart sank, father and son for many years, he only needed a glance to understand what Li Mingxuan wanted to say at this time. Although Li Mingxuan appeared very calm, the faint joy in his body was very obvious.
Father Li thought for a while and said, "Ming Xuan, accompany me to the rooftop for a walk."
The roof mentioned by Li's father is located on the top floor of Li's Group. Because of the wide view of the terrain and the proper management of the property, it is very popular with employees. Everyone is willing to come here for a walk in their spare time. Look.
It was work time, the rooftop was quiet for a while, and only Father Li and Li Mingxuan could be seen.
Father Li did not speak, but silently stared at the distant scenery. Li Mingxuan stood quietly behind his father, also not saying a word.
After a while, Father Li finally turned his head to look at Li Mingxuan, "Mingxuan, do you remember what I said to you before going abroad?"
A flash of nostalgia flashed in Li Mingxuan's eyes, and nodded, "Remember!"
Father Li said in a low voice, "I warned you a long time ago that a man's erection is not bound by morality, but the most fundamental self-control to be a successful person is indispensable. Do you think you did it?" Father Li spoke with a hint of sternness in his voice.
In Li Mingxuan's memory, his father rarely spoke to him so harshly. The only time he remembered his father's stern tone was when he confessed his sexuality to his family a few years ago. He knew that his father had always had high hopes for him, and even in the most difficult times of the year, it was his father who silently supported him alone.
Li Mingxuan smiled bitterly in his heart. When he remembered this sentence back then, he never imagined that one day he would lose control for another man and even fight against his father. His promise to Shen Xi flashed in his mind, and Li Mingxuan's face showed guilt, "Sorry father, I can't do it."
Father Li's disappointment was beyond words, he looked at Li Mingxuan deeply, "Why Shen Xi?"
In Li Mingxuan's past life, there have been too many outstanding men and women, even now, Li Mingxuan has countless outstanding peers around him, why did he fall in love with Shen Xi?
Li Mingxuan smiled bitterly, "I don't know either."
He never thought that there would be so many accidents between him and Shen Xi after that. After encountering each other and getting to know each other again and again, Shen Xi became more and more alive in his heart. He didn't know why he was attracted to Shen Xi in the first place? Is it because of pity or simply attracted by Shen Xi's body? Or that night when Shen Xi was injured, he finally discovered that Shen Xi's sharp shell was wrapped with a soft and sensitive heart?
Li Mingxuan recalled his past with Shen Xi little by little, and he didn't even realize how gentle the expression on his face was at this time. Father Li's eyes fell on Li Mingxuan's face, and his heart shook violently.
Father Li fell silent, he could see Ming Xuan's attitude was very serious, just like he insisted on being honest with his family back then. As a father, Ming Xuan's temperament is very well understood, and once he decides something, he will never change it easily. Back then, when Grandpa Li threatened him with a serious illness, and the pressure of the whole family was piled there, Ming Xuan still refused to let go. In the end, the family compromised and accepted his sexuality. This time, Father Li couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart.
Li Mingxuan didn't know what his father was thinking. He didn't want Shen Xi to be misunderstood by his father. When she has an idea, Xiaoxi is just being seduced by me."
Father Li snorted, "No matter who seduces whom, are you two together now?"
Li Mingxuan nodded, his expression gentle, and the joy in his eyes spread again.
Father Li looked at the joy in Li Mingxuan's eyes, and finally chose to compromise, "Then what are you going to do? Have you been hiding this from your mother and uncle?"
Li Mingxuan shook his head with a firm attitude, "I hope to be with Xiaoxi upright and bright."
Although Father Li had already guessed the answer in his heart, he couldn't help but glance at Li Mingxuan, "Do you know what you are talking about?"
Li Mingxuan looked calm, "I know."
Father Li sighed silently, "What will you do if the Shen brothers fight in the future?"
"Xiao Xi started a company by herself." Li Mingxuan meant that Shen Xi was really not interested in Shen Shi.
Father Li gave Li Mingxuan a deep look, "You yourself know what you and Shen Xi are going to face together. Father only hopes that you will not regret it in the future."
Li Mingxuan gave a low and firm "um".
When Li Mingxuan was talking with Li's father on the rooftop, Shen Jizheng watched the board meeting held by Shen's father with a sullen face.
At this time, a director was speaking, implying that the Yunrou incident had caused great losses to Shen, and someone must stand up and take the corresponding responsibility. While speaking, the director's eyes have been falling on Shen Ji's body, implying that the meaning is very obvious.
Shen Ji's face was very ugly. He tried to stand up several times but was stopped by Shen's father's eyes.
After the director finished speaking, Gao Qiulin took over the conversation with a smile, "Dehan, I know you have always been rewarded and punished. We don't need to talk about this matter, you must already have an idea in your heart."
Another director immediately responded, "Dong Dong said it well, the chairman has always been clear about rewards and punishments, and he will definitely give us a satisfactory explanation."
Father Shen tried his best to suppress the anger in his heart, and glanced at everyone lightly, "Yunrou is still part of the group, and when Yunrou is dismantled and sold, I will definitely give you an explanation. "
Gao Qiulin raised his eyebrows, "Disposal? How did I hear that A Ji was unwilling to dismantle Yunrou, secretly preventing the company from contacting interested buyers." At this point, Gao Qiulin turned to He asked Shen Ji, "A Ji, you wouldn't really do this, would you?"
Shen Ji met Gao Qiulin's eyes, the provocation in Gao Qiulin's eyes deeply hurt him, he tried his best to calm himself down, "Uncle Gao must have heard wrong, dismantling Yun Rou is a matter of The decision of the board, how can I go against the board's intention."
Gao Qiulin was kind, "I guess I misheard."
A flash of vigilance flashed in Shen Ji's eyes, Gao Qiulin has been not dealing with his father recently, he did not believe that Gao Qiulin would compromise so easily.
Sure enough, Gao Qiulin suddenly changed the subject, "Speaking of which, Xiaoxi also graduated from college this year. How can a boy have no career? Dehan, I think you should let Xiaoxi also enter Shen, anyway, A Ji and A Cheng are both here, and there is not one more Xiao Xi, you can't be too partial!"
Gao Qiulin's remarks immediately aroused a lot of approval among the directors. It even said that the jewelry company under the Shen Group was the industry of the Han family back then, so it would be better to let Shen Xi learn to take care of it.
Father Shen's face was ugly, Gao Qiulin didn't seem to notice it, and looked like he was planning for Shen Xi.
After the board of directors, Father Shen returned to the office with a gloomy face, and Wang Changlin followed behind him.
"Dehan, I remember the doctor told you to control your emotions, it's better not to be angry."
Father Shen took a few deep breaths, "You didn't see Gao Qiulin's appearance, and took Shen Xi to force me to let A Ji resign as general manager, how can I not be angry? "
Wang Changli's eyes flashed, "Dong Gao means to let Shen Xi enter the Shen family?"
Father Shen nodded with a gloomy face.
Wang Changlin pondered for a moment, "Dehan, Ah Ji is on the cusp of the storm, have you ever thought about letting him take a break from the limelight?"
Father Shen frowned, "Of course I thought about it, but if A Ji resigns as the general manager, I don't have a suitable candidate for a while, if the person in charge is Gao Qiulin, Isn't A Ji's hard work for so many years a waste?"
Wang Changlin laughed, "Dehan, you forgot there is A Cheng? The board of directors is now forcing A Ji to be responsible for Yun Rou's incident. It's not a good thing, shareholders will inevitably have some ideas. It's better to simply let Aji change his position. Anyway, as long as he is in the Shen family, Aji always has a chance. As for the general manager position that Aji gave up, you can directly assign Acheng. On the top, with him there, it not only blocks the mouth of the board of directors, but also helps Aji guard. The two brothers have always had a good relationship, and you are still worried that their brothers will turn against each other? "
Father Shen's expression began to loosen, and now Shen Cheng is indeed a better choice in this situation.
Considering that Shen Cheng has always been a fool, Father Shen was worried, "Although Ah Cheng is also in the Shen family, he has always been famous, and I am worried that he has little experience."
Wang Changlin thought for a while after hearing the words, "It's better to arrange a few experienced assistants for Ah Cheng, anyway, Ah Cheng is just a name, let Ah Ji handle the big things, and the assistants help with the small things. enough."
Father Shen nodded in agreement, Wang Changlin added, "A Cheng's assistant had better be more familiar with A Ji, so that the brothers can communicate easily when they have something to do."
Father Shen pondered, "What do you think of Lu Gesen? This young man is very good. He is now A Ji's assistant, so it is suitable for him to be placed by A Cheng's side. And he is not of age. Big, it is easy to talk with Ah Cheng together."
Wang Changlin nodded, "Dehan, you have a good eye, so it's really suitable to say that Lu Gesen."
Father Shen immediately instructed the secretary to let Lu Gesen come over, Wang Changlin smiled and got up, "I'll go out first if I have nothing to do."
Lu Gesen passed by Wang Changlin before coming to Shen's father's office. When their eyes met, Lu Gesen's always serious expression softened.
