Extra: Modern Times
Lan Qifeng listened to the report absentmindedly. The pen in his hand twirled around twice before falling to the ground from between his fingers with a crisp sound.
Secretary Wu perked up instantly when he saw the boss' absent-minded look. He put down the pile of documents in his hand and said with a smile, "Boss Lan, are you worried about Young Master Lan again?"
Lan Qifeng sighed deeply, and a trace of distress suddenly appeared on his usually dignified and stern face. He frowned and tapped the table with his fingers. "Last week, Aze had his birthday. I was busy at the time and flew back two days late. The little guy was unhappy and he was in a bad mood every day."
After that, he sighed again: "Alas, children are the debts of the previous life."
Secretary Wu smiled after hearing this, and a smile appeared on his face with gold-rimmed glasses: "Of course not, the children are here to collect debts, and the one in my family is going to make a scene."
Secretary Wu’s son is 7 years old today. Little boys are a bit naughty, but it would be an exaggeration to say that he has turned upside down.
Secretary Wu, who has been in the workplace for so many years, is well versed in the art of speaking. When his boss is unhappy, he will say that his own life is even more miserable. When the miserable ones see others being even more miserable, his mood will be balanced by the comparison.
Secretary Wu's son is relatively obedient, but Mr. Lan's youngest son is really trying to make trouble.
The situation of the Lan family is particularly complicated. Although Lan Qifeng, who is over 50 years old, has a serious face that makes him look intimidating without even getting angry, he is actually very fickle-minded.
When he was young, he believed in hedonism. He slept with women one after another and threw them away one after another. He treated women like old clothes in the closet.
Although sufficient measures have been taken, the base number is too large, and it is inevitable that one or two will slip through the net, get pregnant and give birth secretly, and then bring their babies wrapped in swaddling clothes to look for their fathers.
After all, she is his own flesh and blood, so Lan Qifeng is not too cold-hearted. He just finds a property under his name and puts the woman who wants to get promoted with her child there. When he doesn't remember her, he forgets about her, and when he remembers her, he goes to take a look.
Lan Qifeng, a playboy by nature, never settles down. How foolish it is to give up the whole ocean for a fish. Life is short, and since you have endless money, you should enjoy it while you can. Otherwise, will you let the countless money stay in the bank and rot
Women came one after another, and there were more and more sons and daughters. Secretary Wu, who had always been by his side, became more and more adept at handling such matters.
The women holding their children moved into the villa with great anticipation, hoping that they would become famous through their children and be able to step into the Lan family's door.
Unfortunately, Lan Qifeng only glanced once or twice at the child they had given birth to with so much difficulty. His perfunctory and cold eyes were no different from looking at a cat or a dog.
The women who recognized these facts gradually gave up hope, but they had Lan Qifeng's child in their hearts, so their love was not completely dead yet and they were waiting for the right opportunity to revive.
Until a young lady with a bad reputation and Lan Qifeng, who also had a bad reputation, got together. They both got together for fun at first, and took sufficient safety measures. They had been having fun for two months, but unexpectedly, the young lady got pregnant.
Zhou Fei, the eldest daughter of the Zhou family, is also a non-marriage advocate. This business-minded woman is also aggressive and self-centered. She was not too panicked when she got pregnant for the first time. She thought that Lan Qifeng had good genes and it would be nice to use his seed to give birth to a child of her own and raise it for fun.
The Zhou family is wealthy and has everything, but they have few people and it is difficult to have children. Several of Zhou Fei's brothers have been married for several years but have not added new members to the Zhou family. Several elders in the Zhou family are eager to have grandchildren.
Zhou Fei's idea of having a child did not encounter much opposition.
Lan Qifeng was overwhelmed after hearing about this, but the fierce Zhou Fei didn't care about his thoughts. The young lady shook her hair, and her big chestnut-brown waves covered Lan Qifeng's face. She put on a pair of flat shoes and embarked on the journey of taking care of the baby.
So after ten months of pregnancy, the little life was born on a scorching summer day. Lan Qifeng had to wait outside for the sake of the Zhou family's face. He went through the process reluctantly until he held the newborn baby in his arms. The baby's little hands grasped his fingertips and sucked slowly, and his chubby little face bulged.
At that moment, Lan Qifeng successfully got the cuteness of the child. After holding the child in his arms for a while, he loved him so much that he felt like a father for the first time.
After giving birth, Zhou Fei named the child Zhou Ze. Lan Qifeng frowned and said in a negotiating tone: "Let the child take my surname. He will inherit my property in the future."
Zhou Fei rolled her eyes. Even though she looked haggard in the hospital gown, she was still beautiful and her attacking power was still outstanding.
"Why do your son and daughter care about me so much? I don't want to have another child because it's so painful. I will only have this one child in my life! I have everything you have. The Zhou family alone is enough for my son to worry about. Who cares about your Lan family?"
Lan Qifeng held the child in his arms and said leisurely, "That's not necessarily true. It's always right to join forces. Who would complain about having too much money?"
When Zhou Fei had a child, Lan Qifeng had an idea and went to visit Zhou's family a few days later. After a few visits, their marriage was settled and the child's name was changed from Zhou Ze to Lan Ze.
There were always people coming to the hospital in the first few days after the child was born. Mr. Zhou and Mrs. Zhou took root in the hospital, smiling from ear to ear as they held their newborn grandson.
Old Mr. Lan, who had difficulty walking, also walked into the hospital with a cane, looking very happy, and he couldn't stop smiling while holding his adorable grandson.
The Lan family has always had a very upright family tradition, and the Lan family members are all loyal and self-disciplined people, except for Lan Qifeng, who is a playboy and has a dissolute nature.
Old Master Lan had seen a few of the children he raised outside. The women who were pregnant were all from humble backgrounds and few of them were clean. Old Master Lan even looked down on the children they gave birth to. He only asked a few questions when the first child was born, and ignored the rest.
The Lan family also knows that Zhou Fei likes to play, but she is the apple of the family's eye, a smart and capable business woman, and she doesn't have a bunch of children outside like Lan Qifeng, so the Lan family still likes her very much.
Zhou Fei rolled her eyes at this marriage, pointed at Lan Qifeng and mocked him without any hesitation: "You are a 45-year-old man and you still want to have sex with young girls. Haven't you asked if your kidneys are still good?"
Lan Qifeng said slowly, "After your birthday in December, you will be a woman in your thirties. I think I can still eat this tender grass."
Zhou Fei laughed sharply: "Do you think I'm old?"
Lan Qifeng leaned against the window leisurely: "I dare not, after all, I am 15 years older than you, but I just asked my kidney, it said it is fine, Miss Zhou, don't you want to practice it yourself?"
Zhou Fei said coldly: "Shameless old man, you are in front of a woman who just gave birth to a child. I hope you can behave like a human being."
After considering various aspects, the marriage was finalized.
The following year, the playboy and dissolute old man Lan Qifeng married a well-matched young lady from a wealthy family who was just turning 30.
Those women and their bunch of adopted children have completely given up hope. They are so desperate that it seems there is no possibility of rekindling the relationship.
A bunch of women had to place their hopes on their own children. Lan Qifeng kept four women outside, with a total of four sons and two daughters. Before Lan Qifeng married Zhou Fei, these women considered themselves the first, second, third, and fourth wives.
The second wife gave birth to twin boys, and the fourth wife gave birth to twin girls, which was quite a coincidence.
Lan Qifeng would occasionally take time to visit these children. Most of the time, these children could only have the opportunity to spend a whole day with Lan Qifeng on their birthdays.
Lan Qifeng is a man with great desires and a strong sense of professionalism. After finishing his company's affairs, he would look for a woman he liked. He seldom thought about those children, who had put a lot of effort into showing up in front of him.
For example, he would meet one or two of their children every time he played golf, or one or two of them every time he went to a restaurant for dinner. Apart from asking a few perfunctory questions, he would ask Secretary Wu to send someone to transfer money. In Lan Qifeng's eyes, giving money to these people could solve all problems.
Unfortunately, this trick doesn't work on my youngest son.
His little son ran towards him with his big round eyes and chubby legs, asking for a hug. Even though he was dizzy from reading documents, he would still pick up his little son and put him on his knees to hug him.
The little son pouted his chubby cheeks, pulled up his trouser legs and said he wanted to go to the amusement park. Even if he was very busy, he would still take out his free time to take his little son to the amusement park.
Giving money is useless.
The youngest son was born with several golden spoons in his mouth. Most of Grandpa Lan and Grandpa Zhou's private stash was given to this little guy. There was so much money that it could kill his father.
Lan Qifeng's heart is devoted to his youngest son. Every time he sees those two round amber eyes, his fatherly love overflows and he wishes he could pick stars and the moon for the child.
There’s nothing I can do. My youngest son is so adorable, like a doll from a New Year picture. He’s so adorable no matter how I look at him.
Zhou Fei, as a mother, has always been arrogant and domineering, while Lan Qifeng, as a father, has been infinitely indulgent towards his youngest son. The elders of the Zhou and Lan families have always held Lan Ze in their hands for fear of dropping him, and held him in their mouths for fear of melting him, and they are even more unbridled in their pampering of their children.
It is easy to imagine what kind of children will grow up to be in such an environment.
At around four years old, Lan Ze grew into an arrogant and domineering child. He must eat the most beautiful strawberries first, and things he doesn't like are not allowed in the house. He must get what he likes, otherwise he will throw a tantrum. If throwing a tantrum doesn't work, he will tiptoe to his grandparents to complain and must get what he wants.
Zhou Fei saw that her youngest son had the same temperament as her own and felt that this was not a good idea. She disciplined him seriously for a while, but the child had already developed such a temperament and she could only correct him a little bit.
When Lan Ze was five years old, Lan Qifeng held a birthday party. Lan Qifeng held his youngest son in his arms throughout the whole party.
Five-year-old Lan Ze is very good-looking, with big round amber eyes, long curly eyelashes, and small lips that are always pouting proudly, like a pretty little kitten with a bad temper.
He was active by nature, and tried five times to break free from Lan Qifeng's arms but failed, only to mess up his soft hair. He was a little unhappy, his milky white face was puffed up, and his amber eyes stared at Lan Qifeng. Anyone who saw him could tell that the little guy was in a bad mood.
It's a pity that he was so cute when he was angry, which made people around him very happy. The uncles who had a good relationship with Lan Qifeng always came forward to tease him, which made Lan Ze extremely annoyed.
If he doesn't have a good life, no one else will have an easy life. He glared with his round amber eyes and reached out to pull his father's beard.
Lan Qifeng has been adopting a hipster style in recent years, with a light stubble on his chin, which almost hurt him to tears when Lan Ze pulled it.
When he lowered his head, he met his youngest son's big, round pupils, which were like two pools of melted honey. All his anger disappeared in the two pools of honey, and he smiled and hugged Lan Ze to show off everywhere.
"My son is just like me. He has always had strong hands since he was young. He will definitely be a ruthless person in the future. He will definitely have a bright future."
The guests laughed heartily and showed their support to the utmost. Amid the laughter and joy, some people inevitably thought of the several children that this man had raised outside. The contrast was quite sad.
Naturally, those illegitimate children could not be shown in public at such a formal occasion. The children of those women only showed up at the dinner that day after the banquet.
Four fairly handsome boys and two pretty girls sat stiffly opposite Lan Ze, secretly looking at the little boy who was held in Lan Qifeng's arms and surrounded by a group of people.
The father, who was rarely seen in the past, was holding the little boy and smiling happily. He picked up a piece of fish with a fork, picked out the bones, and then slowly fed it to the boy.
The little son in his father's arms turned his head, stretched out his snow-white little hand, bent the chopsticks, and pointed at the bowl of ginseng soup in front of his grandfather in a childish voice and arrogantly said, "I want to eat this!"
Everyone at the table laughed. The grandfather who had spoken coldly to them smiled and handed over his ginseng soup to the child with a spoon. The child took a sip and got angry. He pushed the grandfather's hand holding the spoon away and shouted, "It's so unpalatable! You feed me something so unpalatable. I will never talk to you again, Grandpa!"
The majestic grandfather coaxed me kindly: "It's grandpa's fault. Grandpa is not good. I won't feed you ginseng soup in the future."
The child shouted in a soft, milky voice, "You are not allowed to drink it either!"
"Hahaha, okay, okay, I'll listen to Xiao Zeze and not drink."
Everyone at the table laughed, and all eyes were on him, but he had no idea how precious such pampering was, and he actually acted so domineeringly and took it for granted.
In the past, grandpa and father were very cold to them, and they thought that grandpa and father were just like that. Until today, they who had been completely ignored all the time finally saw what it meant to be pampered.
This little kid who knew nothing got what they had always dreamed of without any effort.
The eldest son Lan Feng once hurried to the golf course following his father's footsteps. The always dignified and solemn father was bending down, holding his younger son's hand and teaching him how to play golf. A beautiful woman was standing beside him, with her big chestnut-brown waves sparkling in the sun.
Lan Feng watched from a distance for a long time. He walked back and forth aimlessly, his mind sometimes chaotic and sometimes blank. In the end, he saw the woman's thick seaweed-like hair, her beautiful face and her always raised red lips.
Lan Ze, the walking RMB, grew up slowly, and surprisingly did not grow up too badly in such an environment. He was a stranger to his brothers and sisters, and only had a little good impression on his eldest brother.
Because Lan Feng always gave him a lot of things, and so did other brothers and sisters, but the things given by Lan Feng were what he liked the most.
This taciturn elder brother is 19 years older than Lan Ze and looks 70% like Lan Qifeng. Anyone who sees him can tell that he is Lan Qifeng's son.
Lan Ze could more or less feel the jealousy and hostility from his other brothers and sisters, but this eldest brother was the only one who seemed to have some genuine feelings for him.
The second brother, Lan Mo, pretends not to see him every time he sees him. If he really has no other choice, he will just greet him with a blank expression. Lan Ze likes to make him angry the most. He feels good when he sees him hating him. The third brother, Lan Qin, is mediocre in every aspect, but he has a good appearance and finally entered the entertainment industry. The fourth brother is scheming and intends to interfere in the company's affairs. He always smiles when he sees him. The two sisters treat him in an average way and just nod and say hello when they meet.
In addition to his particularly complicated family relationships, Lan Ze also has many hobbies that are not very popular.
While others liked to play in elementary school, he liked to sit at home and make compasses and simple cars.
While others liked to play video games in middle school, he liked to go to the horse farm to raise foals. After raising the foals, he would find a racing driver to learn how to drive. Then he used Lan Qifeng's card to buy his first sports car in his life, and then started to tinker with painting and modifying it.
While others were in high school and fell in love, he became interested in outdoor adventures. He bought a lot of outdoor adventure equipment, traveled all over the world during the winter and summer vacations, and even learned to herd sheep on a ranch... ...
The elders in the family were very confident in him. Zhou Fei and Lan Qifeng did not restrict him. At most, they taught him business skills and took him to the company whenever they had time.
The appearance of Lan Ze destroyed the balance. The other women and their sons were gnashing their teeth in hatred. According to the way Lan Qifeng pampered Lan Ze, the whole Lan family would be in Lan Ze's pocket in the future, and they wouldn't even have a chance to have a taste of the soup.
Greed and hatred can blind people's eyes. Lan Ze had a car accident when he was a sophomore in high school. Fortunately, the driver was a skilled and experienced driver and narrowly avoided the deadly truck, but Lan Ze, who was sitting in the back seat, was thrown out due to inertia.
His seat belt was tampered with and one of his ribs was broken, but fortunately he was young and in good health, so after resting for a while he was fine.
This matter lasted for a long time, and it was finally discovered that it was the woman from the third room who was responsible. Although that woman was hateful, Lan Qifeng's fourth son was unaware of it.
But Lan Ze hated his fourth brother so much that he started to bear a grudge against him from then on.
His birthday is on the same day as his fourth brother's. Normally, Lan Qifeng accompanies him during the day, and when the younger son gets tired of him and goes out to play with his friends, he goes to his fourth son's place.
After this happened, Lan Ze stared at Lan Qifeng like an owl all day on his birthday.
Want to celebrate the birthday of your wild son outside
Bah! Don't even think about it!
Unfortunately, Lan Ze was too sleepy later, so Lan Qifeng softened his heart and went to celebrate his fourth son's birthday, and even gave him a car.
Because of this incident, Lan Ze made a big fuss and finally forced his fourth brother to postpone his birthday for a week.
Lan Qifeng didn't quite understand: "Why are you so angry over such a small matter?"
Lan Ze grabbed his mother's bag and threw it at Lan Qifeng: "How dare you ask? You have several sons, but I only have you as a father. You are not only a scumbag, you are also a scumbag father!"
