Dou Sha was particularly unhappy today. The recurring thought in her mind was that Da Chengzi didn't like her father and that her father didn't come back to see him after working overtime.
In the afternoon, the teacher began to call the children one by one to the podium and asked each child individually about their favorite stage play role. When it was Dou Sha's turn to go up, the teacher looked up and saw Dou Sha's serious face and frowned brows.
"What's wrong with little Liu Xu? Are you unhappy?" the teacher asked.
Dou Sha shook his head and puffed out his cheeks to look at the teacher, not very talkative.
The teacher sat on the edge of the podium and asked Dou Sha softly: "You didn't participate in the last stage play. Have you decided what you want to play this time?"
Douzha thought for a moment and said, "I want to play a warrior!"
The teacher nodded, wrote it down in a notebook, and then asked Douzha: "If many other children also want to play the role of warriors, but there are not so many places, are you willing to play other roles? For example, a big tree monster, a water monster, etc."
Douzha looked at the teacher and quickly shook his head. He didn't want it. He had already thought about it. When the stage play was performed, both parents would come to watch it. Dad would come to Orange by then. Come too! He doesn't want to play a big water monster or a big tree monster, he wants to play a warrior! He didn't want to stand from start to finish, only to be slashed twice and fall to the ground!
The teacher looked at Douzha and shook his head and was a little surprised. After all, teachers and parents have always instilled the principle of humility in children in kindergarten. Many children heard that the number of places was limited and they obediently said that they could play other roles. Only a few children said that they could not accept it. , one of which is bean paste.
Liu Heng made a phone call to Wang Yincheng in the afternoon. Wang Yincheng was reading a manuscript that Chen Luofei had rewritten countless times. The door of the office was not closed. Chen Luofei, whose hair was a little messy after being tortured by Shao Zhiwen all day, was standing on the desk. opposite.
Wang Yincheng put down the manuscript and looked up at Chen Luofei, then pointed to the door while answering the phone.
Chen Luofei walked to the door and closed it. When he turned around and was about to walk back, he saw Wang Yincheng raised his eyebrows at him and said two words indifferently: "Get out."
Chen Luofei: "..."
Several material manuscripts were made over and over again, and Shao Zhiwen threw them into the shredder every time. After a while, Shao Zhiwen nodded and said that it was almost ready to be shown to the editor, and then he took a look at it. Just let yourself out at the beginning? !
Chen Luofei always thought that his discus-like heart would be broken into pieces after being beaten like this today. The strong man's heart felt like it had been raped and killed a hundred times.
Chen Luofei walked out honestly and closed the office door.
"Hello?" Wang Yincheng watched the door being closed.
"I still can't go back today." Liu Heng said directly.
"Is the problem serious?"
"Kowloon Holdings, which I mentioned to you last time, has had frequent problems before. As soon as the stock market opened yesterday, the share price of Kowloon fell sharply. It almost stopped trading yesterday. Today, big investors started to keep investing in shares. Huarong exported a batch of The medical building materials were detained at the customs, and it was found that the export tax number was wrong. Afterwards, the customs notified the building materials to be inspected and found that half of the container was filled with unapproved medical building materials, and some of the building materials were even unqualified."
"Is it speeding up over there?"
"Yes, it should be." Liu Heng's voice sounded calm and majestic, but Wang Yincheng could still hear a bit of fatigue: "There is still no news about Zhou Yian. I read the entertainment newspaper this morning. Maybe there is something Zhou Yian didn't say. , or the other side did it deliberately and wanted to slowly drag me to death in public opinion."
Wang Yincheng sat back on the sofa chair and raised his eyebrows. He felt that his consideration of the problem was simple: "Why?"
"Because my family has a lot of rules. The board of directors of Huarong are all old antiques. Their thoughts are very similar to those of my grandfather. At first, they just turned a blind eye to the issue of sexual orientation. Now, there is one entertainment headline a day, and there are probably several. My blood pressure is high. Huarong’s market share is very subtle, and it happens to be in a relatively balanced position in the country. So Huarong can’t have any problems. If there is a problem, the board of directors can lay me off and replace me with someone else.”
It's hard for Wang Yincheng to comment. Only he knows the affairs of Liu Heng's family best.
"Is there any problem with the bean paste?" Wang Yincheng considered that bean paste comes first, and couldn't help but confirm it again.
"No problem. Offending me and offending grandpa are not the same thing. They don't dare." After a pause: "The teacher from Dousha Kindergarten just called me and said that there will be a stage play in two days. It is a parent-child activity organized by the kindergarten. I told the teacher that you will go."
Douzha almost cried when she made a fuss about her father yesterday. When Wang Yincheng heard Liu Heng's words, he immediately replied: "Aren't you going?"
"..." Liu Heng was silent on the other end of the phone for several seconds. Wang Yincheng reflected that the words were too ambiguous, and it sounded as if he particularly expected Liu Heng to go.
"Look, I'll try my best."
"good."
The two of them hung up the phone without saying goodbye.
After Chen Luofei went out, he returned to his seat, lying on the table with his chin on the table. He was like a large, exhausted dog. He had been tortured for a day, and even a king flower was about to wither.
Shao Zhiwen frowned and looked at Chen Luofei, thinking that this poor kid is really sad. Is he really stupid or pretending to be stupid
Shao Zhiwen walked over, rolled up the A4 paper in his hand, patted his shoulder, and said, "The editor-in-chief is calling you!"
Chen Luofei stood up suddenly, knocked on the door and walked into Wang Yincheng's office quickly.
Wang Yincheng finished reading Chen Luofei's manuscript, made a few comments, and looked up at him: "Do you understand?"
Chen Luofei nodded silently: "I know, I will change it."
"Okay, let's go get busy." Wang Yincheng handed the manuscript to Chen Luofei. Chen Luofei took it and saw Wang Yincheng turning off the computer and packing up the things on the table.
"Are you off work?" Chen Luofei asked doubtfully.
Wang Yincheng glanced at him and felt that Chen Luofei was quite strange now, both in his words and in his eyes. Wang Yincheng remembered that Chen Luofei used to be a very naughty boy. He burned two haystacks placed outside the door before the summer vacation started. He was whipped by his own father and went out crazy the next day.
"Is something wrong?" Wang Yincheng asked him directly.
"Uh, uh... I haven't seen you for a long time. Do you have time? I'll treat you to dinner." Chen Luofei said the last two sentences very neatly. After finishing speaking, he looked at Wang Yincheng expectantly.
Wang Yincheng packed his things and said, "I have something to do, maybe next time." After saying that, he walked out from behind the desk and turned off the air conditioner.
"When will it be next time?" Chen Luofei asked as he followed.
Wang Yincheng walked to the door and turned off the light. Before opening the door, he said, "I beg you, give it a couple of days." After saying that, he opened the door and went out. He said hello to Lao Liu and left first.
Today is the first day of Chen Luofei's internship. Not to mention that he was overwhelmed by a piece of material. This day was completely different from what he had imagined. The way Wang Yincheng looked at him was no different from how he looked at a subordinate or a student! None of the beautiful scenes that he had originally imagined happened. The dullness of this day simply drove Chen Luofei crazy.
Chen Luofei sat back at his desk, thinking with some frustration that there was indeed a big difference between ideal and reality.
Chen Jiao's car was waiting downstairs at Wang Yincheng's company. The two of them went to the kindergarten to pick up their children. When talking about the press release that Ye Anning published this morning, Chen Jiao's lips quickly turned into a sarcastic smile.
"Wait for me and see how I deal with her later!"
"Is she really Ye Xiaotian's cousin?" Wang Yincheng asked.
"Cousin? Don't be ridiculous! Ye Xiaotian is not from the rich generation. How can he have relatives who drag his cousin into trouble in order to get a position? All of Ye Xiaotian's cousins are white, rich and beautiful people who have studied abroad! She, Ye Anning, counts What is that? It’s not that I’m complaining about her lack of money, that woman is really annoying and makes me feel uncomfortable all over! She was still an intern before, and she dared to publish an article about Ye Xiaotian’s affairs, but her own newspaper didn’t dare to publish it. She just sold the information! Sold the news!! Her first-hand information and evidence photos were really sold for a good price at that time! Later, when the news came out and the matter was revealed, she still refused to admit it! She said it was the one who took her with her at that time. If the editor did it, all the responsibility should be placed on others!”
Chen Jiao continued while driving: "But speaking of it, the relationship between the two people can be regarded as cousins. Ye Xiaotian's mother and Ye Anning's father are distant siblings. The conditions at Ye Anning's family are not good, and her father is in Ye Xiaotian Tian's father works as a security captain in his company. He has no education, but he is not bad, but the daughter he gave birth to is really not that good. In the early years, Ye Xiaotian's mother thought that Ye Anning was good-looking and had a decent education, so she introduced a rich second generation We met and fell in love, and they broke up after half a year. People commented that Ye Anning was okay at first, but then he became more and more materialistic. He always wanted this and that, and his ambition was as high as the sky. There were female friends in that man’s circle, Ye On several occasions, An Ning used her ex-boyfriend’s phone number to dial numbers to test others.”
"Damn it, just this kind of woman, so what if she is beautiful and well-educated? How many ordinary women in this world are actually better-minded than her! After Ye Xiaotian's mother, Ye saw the nature of that woman clearly, and wouldn't give it to her She introduced her partner and said that it is better for a rich man to marry a real good girl than to marry Ye Anning!"
Wang Yincheng has now taken a step forward to understand Ye Anning's psychology. She is selfish and everything seems to revolve around her. The current material life can never satisfy her inner vision, and her extravagant expectations for money and rich men are particularly inflated.
Chen Jiao's chatterbox couldn't stop. He complained to Wang Yincheng about Ye Anning all the way. You can imagine how much trouble he caused to Ye Anning back then.
Finally, when they were approaching the kindergarten, Chen Jiao said again: "But I heard from Ye Xiaotian that the backer Ye Anning found this time was really unusual. A man from Liu Heng's family was said to have been promised a lot of benefits, including the villa area in Dongshan. They were sold out a long time ago, so the man gave the woman a set directly."
The two of them arrived at the kindergarten to pick up the children. Chen Jiao drove, while Dou Sha and Ye Fei sat in the back. The two little guys gathered together to discuss the stage play. Wang Yincheng sat aside and couldn't say anything, so he just watched the two children discuss.
After Chen Jiao and Ye Fei left, Wang Yincheng took Dou Sha's little hand and took the elevator upstairs.
Dou Sha was led by Wang Yincheng and stood in the elevator for a long time. Then he raised his neck and asked in a low voice: "Is dad coming back today?"
Du Sha's eyes were watery, cautious and expectant. Wang Yincheng touched the child's head and knelt down, holding Du Sha in his arms and said, "Dad is still very busy today."
Dou Sha bit her cheek and said nothing, just looking at Wang Yincheng.
Wang Yincheng brought Dou Sha in. Dou Sha ran directly across the entrance and into the room without changing his shoes. He first opened the door of the study and looked inside. No one was there. Then he opened the doors of the two bedrooms and cautiously looked inside. , there was still no one, and finally I even checked the kitchen and bathroom, but there was still no one.
As soon as Wang Yincheng entered the door, he knew that there was no one else in the house, but the child hoped that Liu Heng would suddenly appear, either in the study or the bedroom like in the past, and he could see it when he opened the door.
Wang Yincheng closed the door and stood at the entrance to watch Douzha running from one room to another, then into the bathroom, and finally walked out of the kitchen in despair.
Wang Yincheng saw the child hanging his head in disappointment and sadness, feeling slightly bitter in his heart. He kicked off his shoes and walked in. He took the child into his arms and turned around and walked towards the door.
do not care! So much mess! But what’s wrong with the child? How innocent? ! Dou Sha misses her father so much, but she obviously thinks so but can't see him. What's wrong with Dou Sha? Wang Yincheng was also angry. He was angry, angry and felt sorry for the little Chengzi in his arms. He wanted to risk everything. Dou Sha only needed to see his father. If anything happened, the adults would take care of it! !
Just as Wang Yincheng was about to put on his shoes and open the door, the door handle turned on its own and was pushed open. A figure stood at the door, looking at the pair of oranges with red eyes in slight surprise.
"What's wrong?" Liu Heng took two steps forward, put down the plastic bag in his hand, looked at the bean paste and then at Wang Yincheng.
Wang Yincheng and Dou Sha were stunned for a while. Both adults and children looked at Liu Heng in surprise, as if they had not expected Liu Heng to appear at all.
Douzha reacted faster than Wang Yincheng: "Dad!!" Her little hand stretched out towards Liu Heng for a hug.
Liu Heng took the child from Wang Yincheng and held Dou Sha in his arms. Dou Sha buried his face in Liu Heng's shoulder. He rubbed his little face against Liu Heng's suit shirt. He slowly rubbed it until tears and runny nose came out. The child He buried his head, lying in Liu Heng's arms and rarely acted coquettishly, "Why did daddy come here!? Why did he come back just now!? Daddy is the most annoying!! The most annoying!"
Liu Heng held the bean paste in his arms and patted the child's back. He said nothing and allowed the child to nuzzle in his arms. He raised his eyes to look at Wang Yincheng. Wang Yincheng's red eyes had returned to normal at this moment, no different from usual. It seemed that Liu Heng had misread the gaffe just now.
Wang Yincheng and Liu Heng looked at each other, then looked at Dou Sha silently without saying anything.
Dou Sha cried for a while, but even though his nose was still dripping down, he was not polite and rubbed it all on Liu Heng's shirt.
Liu Heng took off his shoes and walked into the living room with the child in his arms. Wang Yincheng closed the door and bent down to pick up the plastic bag. When he lowered his head, he saw that there were packed dinners inside.
Dou Sha hugged Liu Heng for a while, feeling a little awkward. She was not used to being coquettish and obedient with Liu Heng, especially when she cried just now. Of course Liu Heng knew what Dou Sha was thinking. Father and son had never been so close before. Dou Sha had never said that he missed his father so much that he cried and rubbed himself until he was covered in tears and snot.
Liu Heng put Douzha in his arms and sat on the edge of the sofa, looking at the child: "What's the stage play in the kindergarten? What did you tell the teacher to do?"
Douzha sniffed: "Warriors! Warriors who fight monsters!" After a pause: "On the day of the stage play, parents will go there. Parents of other children will go there. Will Dad go?"
Liu Heng pinched Dou Sha's nose: "Go!"
Dou Sha breathed a small sigh of relief, then turned to look at Wang Yincheng, who was setting up lunch boxes at the dining table: "Will Cheng Zi go too?"
Wang Yincheng was happy to see that Dou Sha had stopped crying, and smiled lightly: "I'll go."
Dou Sha sat on the sofa and swung his legs happily. He turned back to look at his father, then at the big orange, then at his father, and then at the big orange.
Liu Heng looked at Dou Sha, and Wang Yincheng also looked at Dou Sha. The two adults looked at each other inexplicably, and they both saw questions and doubts in each other's eyes.
Suddenly I heard Douzha cheering and bursting into laughter: "Oh!!"
The three of them finished eating together. Liu Heng cleared the table. Wang Yincheng bathed Dou Sha and put on pajamas. He carried the child into the room. Dou Sha fell asleep soon after. He slept very comfortably and sweetly. He was still in a daze after falling asleep. He shouted vaguely: "Dad... Orange..."
Wang Yincheng covered the child with a quilt, adjusted the light of the desk lamp to the darkest level, closed the door and went out.
Liu Heng had finished cleaning up and was standing on the balcony smoking. There was a basin of washed peaches on the dining table.
When Wang Yincheng walked to the balcony, Liu Heng looked sideways at him while smoking and put out his cigarette.
"Still working overtime?" Wang Yincheng asked.
"No, it's not necessary." The sky above his head was dark blue. Liu Heng squinted his eyes and looked at the distant sky.
What do you mean no longer needed
Liu Heng continued: "It's not a big problem. It's been troublesome these past two days." Liu Heng suddenly said politely.
Wang Yincheng: "No trouble."
Liu Heng and Wang Yincheng stood side by side on the balcony. The balcony window was opened, and the cool night wind blew across their faces.
No one spoke, and seemed to have nothing to say. Liu Heng held the cigarette holder in his hand, lowering his head and playing with it. Wang Yincheng looked at the big sign of a fruit shop outside the community not far away in trance.
"Dad, Orange..." Douzha rubbed his eyes and suddenly appeared from behind them, wearing bear pajamas and looking sleepy.
Douzha came over and tugged at the corner of his big orange: "Chengzi, stay with me." Then she raised her neck and turned to look at Liu Heng: "Daddy, don't leave, daddy also wants to accompany me!"
Liu Heng and Wang Yincheng were stunned at the same time and looked at each other.
That night, Douzha felt so happy that pink bubbles popped up. He slept in the middle of the big bed, his father slept on his right side, and Big Orange slept on his left. There was a sweet orange scent in the room under the tip of his nose. road.
Dad also smells like big oranges!
Two big oranges and one small orange, Xiangxiang Orange is a family!
In the next few days, life seemed to continue according to everyone's own trajectory.
Children Bean Paste Baozi and Ye Fei were recognized by their teachers and both played the role of warriors and started arranging stage plays for an hour after school every day; Liu Heng dealt with a lot of troublesome things and went back to eat every night; Wang Yincheng continued to go to and from work as usual, Picking up the children from school with Chen Jiao, and tutoring a rookie intern at the same time; Chen Luofei enters the company confidently and domineering every day, and after work, looks resentful and disappointed at being drilled to the point of peeling off a layer of skin, but continues to be confident the next day Full; Shao Zhiwen successfully became a full-time employee at the newspaper office and began to rub the new interns in an upright manner.
On the other side, the entertainment newspaper where Ye Anning worked had Liu Heng on the front page every day. There had been no other important news for a week, and the focus of public attention began to shift.
It happened that the newspaper where Wang Yincheng worked had obtained an exclusive interview with the financial commentator - Cheng Yin. At the same time, several heavily promoted movies were released, various film and television reviews and audience reviews, and other miscellaneous celebrity tours, all made Ye Anning's headlines gradually lose the focus of public attention in the next three days.
Wang Yincheng read the recent issues of Ye Anning's increasingly pale and devoid of any substantive content, and threw the newspaper into the trash can without any surprise.
Wherever Ye Anning's professionalism lies, people like her are only suitable for digging news, and will never be suitable for doing news.
However, the situation of Liu Heng Company did not improve in any substantial way because Wang Yincheng secretly diverted attention from Ye Anning's news. It can be said that it is getting worse and worse. The stock price fell sharply for two days in a row. Although the customs export caused trouble, It was done, but the foreign dealers had a big gap with Liu Heng Company because the medical building materials were several days late, and they canceled several large orders in the past three years.
Although the news about Liu Heng's sexual orientation is no longer exciting to the public, it does not mean that it is not taken seriously by the board of directors. Liu Heng held executive meetings every day for three days in a row. Even the chairman of the board of directors, who had always been optimistic about Liu Heng, raised relevant questions about him.
May and June were the annual inspections of the tax bureau, and Liu Heng's company was suspected of tax evasion again.
Neither Wang Yincheng nor Dou Sha knew about this. All media information from the outside world was blocked, and Liu Heng took all the responsibility alone.
In early May, the board of directors issued a resolution to suspend all normal official duties of Liu Heng, and Liu Heng was temporarily removed as CEO. However, at this turbulent juncture for Huarong, the board of directors removed Liu Heng, but did not appoint a new executive to replace him. For a while, there was a lot of discussion among Huarong's middle management and above. Some people said that Liu Heng's position was irreplaceable, and some said that Liu Heng's position was irreplaceable. People say that talents come out of the country in every generation, and the replacement of the board of directors is a certainty.
In Wang Yincheng's view, the news was overshadowed. Liu Heng went to and from work every day, and the company's affairs seemed to have no major problems. However, in this seemingly calm stall, there was always someone's appearance that would pierce the veil that blocked the truth.
On the morning of the day Liu Heng officially resigned, a news media exposed the news that the board of directors of Huarong International had removed Liu Heng from his position as president, and mentioned Liu Heng's tax evasion and bribery of officials for business purposes in the past few years... For a while, Liu Heng's relationship Reports began to circulate again, and at the same time, the list of new CEOs decided by the board of directors has been drawn up.
