Apart from that strange dream, everything else returned to normal. Zhuang Baihua continued to indulge in work, and recently he has started to go on business trips frequently.
It hasn't been long since Zhuang Baihua traveled through time and space to become a domineering president, but he has already mastered the essence of being a president, which is to pretend to be cool, no matter whether he understands it or not, he just pretends to be cool. So even though he doesn't understand some business knowledge very well, he can still go out and bluff people.
That day, Zhuang Baihua had just returned from a short combat meeting outside when he received a call from Luo Zhenduo.
"I haven't been out for a drink in a while, do you want to come?"
Luo Zhenduo's steady voice came from the other end of the phone, which inexplicably made Zhuang Baihua feel at ease.
There are still normal people like Luo Zhenduo in this world...even though he is addicted to alcohol.
Before Zhuang Baihua could comment, Luo Zhenduo made a patch: "You are allowed to bring your own thermos cup."
Zhuang Baihua smiled brightly.
When Zhuang Baihua arrived at the agreed place, Luo Zhenduo was already waiting there.
When he saw Zhuang Baihua, he raised his wine glass as a greeting.
I have to say that this domineering president is just different. Any movement he makes is very pleasing to the eye, with an air of arrogance and nobility emanating from his bones, and a look of "I'll drink, you can do whatever you want" that is as casual as you want.
Even Tang Feng, a movie star, might find it difficult to bring out the charm of this kind of gifted talent.
It's just that Luo Zhenduo has been a father for a long time, so he looks a bit vicissitudes of life, a bit more stable than ordinary people, like a sultry old aristocrat - if he is not drunk.
Zhuang Baihua sat down next to him and habitually took out his thermos cup and placed it on the coffee table.
Luo Zhenduo asked: "Did you drink the tea I brought to you just now?"
Last time, Luo Zhenduo said that he had a lot of new tea at home and wanted to send it to Zhuang Baihua. Later, he did it. Zhuang Baihua received so much tea that it filled the tea room.
Zhuang Baihua said: "I drank it, it was too much, my tea was already very strong, but I still couldn't finish it."
Luo Zhenduo waved his hand and said, "Try each one."
Zhuang Baihua felt that he was going to give her something more, so he could only say, "Thank you."
Luo Zhenduo glanced at him, took a sip of wine, and said, "You have become very polite recently."
Zhuang Baihua had already come up with an excuse: "That's how it is when you get older, you become more stable."
Luo Zhenduo drank his wine and looked at him with a half-smile: "My white birch has grown up."
Zhuang Baihua was teased and his face turned a little red.
Although he is young, he is a big shot in the community. Even the elderly who are much older than him are kind to him, so he always behaves more stable than his actual age.
To put it bluntly, it's old-fashioned.
In front of Luo Zhenduo, he was treated as a junior, probably because Luo Zhenduo was a senior father. As long as they were not married and had children, they were all children in his eyes.
Seeing that Zhuang Baihua was embarrassed, Luo Zhenduo smiled and said, "It's said that you encountered a lot of problems recently and were admitted to the hospital several times."
Last time the two of them were drinking together, Zhuang Baihua was called away by a phone call and later went to the hospital again; then, when they were watching a movie, he was tied up by Tang Feng, given anesthesia, and went to the hospital again.
Zhuang Baihua knew that Luo Zhenduo had great magical powers and nothing could be hidden from him. He touched the tip of his nose and said, "I can't help it. I'm just unlucky. I always meet magical people."
Luo Zhenduo asked the waiter to come over and add hot water to Zhuang Baihua's thermos cup, and said, "You put yourself in the hospital and didn't even tell me. How polite."
He asked the waiter to leave and asked Zhuang Baihua: "Do you want me to take action?"
Zhuang Baihua shook his head and said, "It's all been taken care of." Tang Feng went to find a well-known director to learn how to make a movie, so there wouldn't be any trouble for the time being.
Luo Zhenduo: "That's good. I said you can handle these little things. Going to the hospital was purely an accident. Don't be too hard on yourself when you encounter problems. I see that you are either on a business trip or in a meeting recently. Is there any problem in the company? Why are you so busy?"
Zhuang Baihua replied: "I just want to work hard and improve my performance."
Luo Zhenduo was puzzled: "Isn't Zhuang's doing well? Is it your family or the shareholders who are forcing you?"
Zhuang Baihua continued to shake his head: "No one forced me. I just work harder. The company still has room for growth. If the performance is better, it can increase the GDP of this city."
Luo Zhenduo: “…” That is indeed a heavy responsibility.
"Okay, you have to take care of yourself even if you are busy. My mother has made some ointment. You can take it home and soak it in water to replenish your body."
Zhuang Baihua: “…” After all the twists and turns, this turned out to be the purpose. Luo Zhenduo was so stuffy that I was afraid to meet him.
The neatly stacked jars were delivered to Zhuang Baihua. He opened the lids and saw a black, muddy substance inside. He didn't know what it was made of, but it exuded an indescribable smell. He could only say, "Thank you."
After being polite for a long time, Luo Zhenduo completed the task of distributing his mother's products. He was very satisfied and leaned back in the sofa to drink comfortably.
Zhuang Baihua paused and asked him, "Where do you usually go to play with your son?"
Luo Zhenduo's eyes were a little strange: "My son is already 20 years old." He shook his glass and said, "A 20-year-old boy has his own friends, and I am also quite busy."
"You said last time that your son hopes to travel to every corner of the world. Why don't you take him with you?"
Luo Zhenduo's eyes were a little dazed. He took a sip of wine and said hoarsely, "My son...his situation is a little complicated."
Luo Zhenduo stopped talking after this. Zhuang Baihua felt that something was wrong, but he didn't dare to ask more questions.
The original owner was a good friend of Luo Zhenduo, so he should know about the situation of the young master of the Luo family, but Zhuang Baihua didn't know, and asking too much would expose him.
Zhuang Baihua could only say vaguely: "Everything will be fine in the future."
Luo Zhenduo perked up and looked at Zhuang Baihua: "Are you still worrying about your poverty alleviation targets?"
Zhuang Baihua's thoughts were exposed, so he simply admitted: "Yes, let's take him out to relax."
Although Chi Yue was also twenty years old, at the age when he could have fun with his peers all day long, Zhuang Baihua always saw him hanging out alone and had never seen him have any close friends.
Chi Yue has become more and more gloomy recently. Zhuang Baihua believes that it is Tang Feng's influence on him. Paranoia is an emotion that is too contagious. It is like thick black ink that can easily pollute a pure white flower like Chi Yue.
Zhuang Baihua didn't want Chi Yue to become gloomy, so he tried to find a chance to take him out to relax.
He came and went without knowing where he was going. Luo Zhenduo's son was about the same age as Chi Yue, so he asked Luo Zhenduo for advice.
As a result, Mr. Luo didn’t know either.
Luo Zhenduo was surprised by what Zhuang Baihua said, and then he said, "My son has always been very well behaved. What impressed me most was that he only pestered me to go to one place at that time."
Zhuang Baihua asked: "What direction?"
Luo Zhenduo: "Playground."
Zhuang Baihua: “…”
"That was when he was ten years old." Luo Zhenduo's expression was full of nostalgia. "He rarely asked me to do anything, but that time he begged me to take him to the amusement park. He begged me for many days, so I took him there."
Zhuang Baihua thought, if his friend wants to go to the amusement park, why don’t you take him there? Why do you need to ask for so many days
"He was watching other people riding the roller coaster from below, feeling envious and happy." Luo Zhenduo sighed, "It made me feel bad."
Zhuang Baihua didn't understand the logic. The child was too young to ride in a car, so why should Luo Zhenduo be sad
Zhuang Baihua comforted Luo Zhenduo: "Don't be sad, the child will grow up eventually."
Luo Zhenduo nodded: "In order to make him feel better, I built him a playground so that he can watch others play whenever he wants."
Zhuang Baihua: “…” Evil rich people.
"I remember that your poverty alleviation target is also 20 years old. You can bring him to the bar to broaden his horizons." Luo Zhenduo joked.
Zhuang Baihua asked back: "Will you bring your son to the bar to drink?"
"… Won't."
That's it.
But Zhuang Baihua kept in mind what Luo Zhenduo said.
Zhuang Baihua asked someone to call Chi Yue to the office. It was exam week recently, and Chi Yue should have been studying hard at school, but he still often stayed in the company.
Chi Yue walked into the lounge of the president's office with ease. She had become numb to the word "demolition" on the wall and could ignore it.
The first thing Zhuang Baihua did when he saw him was to criticize him.
"Students' primary task is to study. Don't worry about internships. What if you spend every day at the company and your grades suffer? The final exams are coming up soon. I don't want your GPA to drop."
Zhuang Baihua criticized and educated Chi Yue seriously. Chi Yue sat upright, with his hands on his knees, eyes wide open and looking quiet.
Seeing how honest and well-behaved he was, Zhuang Baihua began to soften his heart and made a closing statement: "Anyway, study hard and do well in the exam, okay?"
Chi Yue nodded: "Thank goodness." She continued to stare at Zhuang Baihua's face.
Zhuang Baihua subconsciously touched his face. Seeing him do this, Chi Yue looked away and fixed her gaze on his arm.
The weather was hot, and Zhuang Baihua was only wearing a shirt, with his sleeves rolled up out of habit, revealing his lean arms.
Zhuang Baihua felt like there were needles pricking him where Chi Yue was looking. He turned sideways and put his arm back, so Chi Yue continued to look at his waist.
Zhuang Baihua felt a little uncomfortable, so he called Chen Wang in and asked him to get something out of the refrigerator. He then turned to Chi Yue and said, "Luo's grandmother has made a lot of supplements this time. You can take them back."
Chi Yue came back to her senses, blinked her eyes, and smiled: "Okay."
This shows how much she likes the old lady's craftsmanship of the Luo family. She can't understand the preferences of young people.
Zhuang Baihua looked at Chi Yue happily holding the jar in her arms, and felt a little distressed.
Maybe he has never eaten good food, and no one makes these for him at home.
So, Zhuang Baihua said, "I'll take you out to play after you finish your exam."
Chi Yue's eyes lit up, he straightened his back and asked, "Is it you?"
Zhuang Baihua nodded.
Chi Yue asked: "Where are we going?" Dubai or Las Vegas, "I will definitely take the first one."
What a loud tone! Zhuang Baihua hesitated and said, "Amusement park?"
Chi Yue: "... Then I'd better do worse in the exam."
Zhuang Baihua didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "The exam is for you, not for me. I just want to find a place to take you to relax, but I don't know where it is. How about you tell me where to go?"
Chi Yue swallowed the word "Dubai" back into her stomach, squinted her eyes, and smiled happily: "Just the amusement park, it's good, don't worry, I will still get the first place in the exam."
Zhuang Baihua was worried, I didn't see you study hard for many days and get the first place in the exam.
He didn't expose Chi Yue, but just said: "Then it's settled, you take the exam well, and after you're done I'll go play for two days."
Chi Yue asked: "Two days?"
Zhuang Baihua told him: "Go to G City, round-trip tickets, tickets and theme hotel package, it would be a pity if you don't stay overnight."
Zhuang Baihua originally wanted to take Chi Yue to play in the city, but when he found out that the amusement park in this city was invested by the Luo family, he felt uncomfortable and simply set his sights on G City.
G City has a nationally famous large theme park. Zhuang Baihua thought Chi Yue was on summer vacation, so it wouldn't be too much to take him out of the province for a few days. However, Zhuang Baihua himself was quite busy, so he could only spare a few nights of accommodation.
Chi Yue didn't expect that she would go on a trip, and she was immediately delighted. Holding the tonic bottle, she smiled and said to Zhuang Baihua, "I'm looking forward to it. Thank you, Mr. Zhuang."
Zhuang Baihua was happy to see him, but he still kept a straight face and said, "There is still half a month left. Do well in the exam and get good grades."
Chi Yue said confidently, "Don't worry, it's my first time." Because of his happiness, Chi Yue's usually dark eyes became bright. He asked Zhuang Baihua, "You have even planned the itinerary. Have you checked the guide?"
Zhuang Baihua coughed a few times, cleared his throat, and said, "Yes, I checked." He lowered his voice to hide his embarrassment, "Actually, I haven't been there either. It's quite rare to go there."
