Han Xu's current state is very abnormal, which made Xu Nianyi unable to leave the company with peace of mind. Out of the morality of friends, she chose to leave Ai to accompany Han Xu to leave the company. After leaving the company, Han Xu's walking pace has accelerated a lot, and his steps are not so heavy. He seems to be in a hurry to go somewhere, and his steps are very big.
Xu Nianyi had no choice but to trot along beside Han Xu and walk to the underground car with him.
Worried that Han Xu would not be able to drive in such a state, Xu Nianyi took the initiative to walk to the driver's seat and was about to open the door. At this moment, a white palm opened the door first.
"Han Xu..."
Xu Nianyi looked at Han Xu worriedly, can he really drive in his current state
"It's okay, I can drive." Han Xu seemed to know what she was going to say, suddenly raised his eyes to look at her, and answered in a hoarse voice.
"Okay." Xu Nianyi slowly withdrew his hand, looked at him uneasily, and slowly retreated to the passenger seat on the other side.
Han Xu just opened the car door, but was not in a hurry to get in. It was as if he was waiting for her to take a seat before agreeing to drive.
After she quickly got into the car, Han Xu followed in, started the car and drove the car out of the underground garage.
Han Xu drove smoothly, and his hands holding the steering wheel did not shake. Xu Nianyi carefully observed him, while thinking about what to say to break the silence in the carriage, and what topics could comfort Han Xu.
"Do you remember my children?"
In the silence, Han Xu's hoarse voice slowly sounded in the small compartment.
Xu Nianyi was startled at first, not expecting that Han Xu would take the initiative to speak, and then quickly reacted, smiling and shaking his head: "Sorry, I really don't have any memory of the past. In my memory, I grew up in the United States. So I don't know about you having children..." At this point, she paused as if thinking of something and looked at him in surprise, "Are you a single father? Have you been married once?"
"Do you know that history is always surprisingly similar. When I first told you about this, you had the same problem." Han Xu shook his head, his heavy breath suddenly eased, as if his mood had improved.
"Really? I don't even know what happened to me before." Xu Nianyi smiled shyly, and then asked, "The child you mentioned just now is..."
"I adopted it." Han Xu gave a short answer and stopped talking.
The car drove along the clean asphalt road.
An hour later, they arrived at a relatively secluded residential area in Xia Hai City.
Follow Han Xu out of the car, walk into one of the high-rise buildings, and walk up to the sixth floor along the narrow stairs of the old-fashioned residential area.
After knocking on the old-fashioned white anti-theft door, an older aunt opened the door. She was pleasantly surprised when she saw Han Xu. The child came over to say hello to Han Xu.
After the meeting, Han Xu didn't smile at all, but when he saw the children who didn't have all the baby teeth, Xu Nianyi was surprised to find that Han Xu tried his best to open the corners of his mouth, and forced a smile from his face, with a pleasant face Greetings to every little one.
Seeing Han Xu treat those innocent and bright children with such a gentle attitude, Xu Nianyi was even more worried. He was clearly full of thoughts, but he forced himself to smile when he came here. Isn't this adding psychological pressure to himself
"Han Xu, didn't you say to have dinner together?"
Seeing Han Xu's smiling face and being kind to the children, Xu Nianyi couldn't help but speak in a low voice.
"Okay." Han Xu looked at Xu Nianyi indifferently, and nodded slightly.
Soon, the older aunt arranged for the child to go to the living room to do homework. Only then did Xu Nianyi notice that on the white wall of the living room, there were a few big characters pasted on the wall with colorful paper-cut paintings—"angel s home".
Xu Nianyi's cheeks stiffened, and he couldn't help being moved. Han Xu is really a very kind person, his character is not like a businessman. He does not have the cunning and insidiousness of a businessman, and he does things upright, but there are many ways in the board of directors, and he can always sit in that position if he is not upright.
Sitting on the wooden chair in the restaurant with Han Xu, he fell into a brief silence again.
The children were all earnestly scribbling on the paper with brushes, and the room fell silent from the lively atmosphere just now.
Xu Nianyi cautiously raised his eyelids, looked sideways at Han Xu who was sitting beside him, and asked tentatively, "Did you also find time to come here to eat with the children before?"
"I come here occasionally. It makes me feel relaxed when I come here." Han Xu lowered his head slightly, his eyes were half-closed, and he didn't know what he was looking at. At this moment, the spirit that was still vigorous just now was sluggish, and he sat listlessly on the chair.
"Han Xu, actually..." Xu Nianyi hesitated, wondering if he should bring up the dismissal at the meeting just now, "You have also stayed in the company for so many years, and you understand the truth that shopping malls are like battlefields better than me."
"Do you think I'm sad because I lost the position of chairman?" Unexpectedly, before her words fell, Han Xu, who had buried his head deeply, suddenly raised his head, and stared at her with a slightly raised mouth corner as if smiling.
"..." Xu Nianyi was speechless for a while, isn't it because of this
"Nian Yi, you don't understand me. I don't blame you for not understanding me. I just want to tell you that I am different from others. In fact, I have never valued my position as the chairman. What I value is my hard work. After so long, there is no way to change the bad roots of the family business." Han Xu's voice is still a little hoarse, but he no longer has the weak feeling just now.
He looked at the little woman sitting in front of him, looking at him with concern, and looked at her bright eyes that were as clear as water, and said softly, "Thank you for worrying about me, I'm fine, I just feel a little worried for a while. I can’t accept that my hard work in the past few years has been in vain.”
Xu Nian understood immediately, it turned out that he couldn't accept his father's abstention vote.
"Perhaps your father has a difficult reason. Although I don't know your father well, but you have been the chairman of the board for so many years. If he really worried about you and didn't recognize you, he certainly wouldn't Choose to hand over the Han Group to you."
"Yes, he has difficulties. When the meeting was over, he came over and told me why he abstained from voting." The curvature of Han Xu's mouth suddenly disappeared, and Qingjun's expression rarely became cold, "You know What is his reason?"
"What is it?" Looking at Han Xu's expression, Xu Nianyi also thought that it was definitely not a good thing.
"My father told me that he had to agree to this project, because my second uncle had something in Gao Xuehan's hands. If this project fails, my second uncle is likely to be sued and go to jail." Han Xu's calm tone has set off There were waves, and the raised tone showed his anger at the moment.
"What?!" Hearing the news, Xu Nianyi couldn't help being shocked, "You mean that Xu Fei has a handle on Han Hongda? What kind of handle?"
"I don't want to say it." Han Xu frowned in disgust, "So as not to dirty my mouth."
"It's okay, I can probably guess what it will be." Xu Nianyi didn't ask further. There are only a few things that men in the mall like. If they have money, the one they want is naturally a woman. It must be the shameful private life that was dug out before being threatened.
Xu Nianyi shook his head helplessly, "The biggest disadvantage of a family business is this. The second largest shareholder is your father's younger brother. Huaxia pays the most attention to human relationships, let alone brothers who grew up together. Your father chose to keep your two brothers. Uncle has no choice. And I read the brief overview of that project, and it is indeed profitable. If you don’t do a profitable project, you still have to send your younger brother to court. Only a fool would refuse to cooperate. Your father must have done so. It was a struggle."
"It doesn't matter. I give up." Han Xu didn't shout out angrily, but said this sentence calmly in a low voice.
"Give up? You really don't plan to regain the position of chairman?"
"Why should I fight for it? What can I do if I win it? It is impossible for the Han Group to make real reforms. I have tried my best to change this company, but I didn't realize that I was wrong until today. The company doesn't need reform at all because it's a dead piece of wood that no one can change. I wouldn't have chosen to take over the company if my dad hadn't been in my bedroom talking to me late at night. Running a company wasn't my dream. Now I came down from this position, and I suddenly felt that the burden on my shoulders disappeared." Han Xuba's high-pitched tone had gradually calmed down, and his tone was as level as a mirror, without any emotional ups and downs.
Xu Nianyi couldn't answer for a while, just like what Han Xu said just now, she really didn't know the man in front of her. This man always seemed approachable, gentlemanly and polite.
Maybe she knew Han Xu very well before, but that was all in the past, and she has no memory of it. Now she only knows that Han Xu is the successor of the Han Group and her friend. But what Han Xu likes, what are his hobbies, what are his past experiences... She didn't take the time to find out about these.
She could feel that what Han Xu said at this moment was not out of anger, and was not said on impulse. It's what he said from the bottom of his heart.
"If leaving the position of chairman of the group can make your life easier, then I support you. No matter what you choose to do, I will support you." Han Xu told her that no matter what troubles you encounter, you can find If he helps, she also wants to tell Han Xu this time that she will fully support him no matter what he wants to do.
"Thank you." Han Xu said these two words sincerely, then moved his sincere eyes away, and his eyes became even darker, "Although I am very disappointed with the company, but at the same time I am also very glad that at least I I can pursue what I like now. I, Han Xu, finally have the right to choose what I want."
Once, when Xu Nianyi and Shao Jun had no formal relationship, he wanted to pursue her but stopped because of the disparity between his and her identities. He is the chairman of the Han Group and the hope of the family in the future. His wife will definitely be a lady, aristocratic and famous, and she must be able to help the company in her career.
If he pursued Xu Nianyi, his family would not support his marriage with Xu Nianyi. He bears the hope of the family and cannot go against the wishes of the family.
But Shao Jun is more independent and brave than him. Shao Jun made a huge struggle with his family in exchange for the opportunity to be with Xu Nianyi.
When he heard the news of their marriage, he had mixed feelings, but he also sincerely wished them better.
When Xu Nianyi was kidnapped and disappeared, he was also very anxious, but for the sake of his family and the company, he couldn't leave his company like Shao Jun, Lu Jingcheng and Li Tianyu and go to northern Burma to find someone. For the sake of the family, for the sake of this sad Han group, he chose to give up again, and missed the second chance.
In his whole life, he did not know how many concessions he made for the Han family, and how many opportunities he gave up that he wanted to choose. But he has worked hard for so long but still hasn't changed the company.
He feels pathetic!
He felt even more ridiculous.
He suddenly figured it out, he had already given up so much for the Han Group, and now that he was no longer the chairman of the Han Group, he no longer had this heavy burden on his shoulders, and he regained his life. The opportunity to choose.
Today, he can finally choose what he wants. It's a pity that he has already missed the opportunity to be with Xu Nianyi forever.
