The idea that a man bringing his child to meet clients means he doesn't value them is utter nonsense and rubbish.
But this was the 1990s after all. If Nie Zhao brought his son to a business meeting, people would probably really think that Nie Zhao was disrespectful to them.
Chen Rou stopped and said, "Why don't you postpone your meeting with Boss Wen until tomorrow? I'll bring A Yuan tomorrow."
But this matter should actually be viewed dialectically.
Nie Zhaoxian said, “My son’s photo has never been published in the newspaper, and not many people have seen him. If I’m willing to take him with me to meet someone, it proves that I’m going with sincerity and trust. The other party should feel honored, not disrespected or belittled. It should be said that they value him, shouldn’t they?”
Then, to Secretary An, he said, "Tell Wade that I'm going with the young master, and ask him to prepare some of the children's favorite fruits and snacks."
Nie Zhao is a businessman who needs to conduct business, just like the gambling king, Mr. Wen, and he meets with many people every day.
Perhaps for Mr. Wen, not bringing his child to meet guests is the way to show respect to customers.
After all, he has many children, more than a dozen. Taking care of just one would seem like favoritism, but taking care of them all would be too noisy.
Of course, competition among children is fierce, and vying for attention and affection is inevitable. If the children start arguing and making a scene in front of guests, it would be quite embarrassing, so it's best not to bring them along.
But Nie Zhao is different; he only has one son, A Yuan, who is also written into the board of directors' articles of association as Nie Zhao's sole heir to all his assets.
Nie Zhao and Boss Wen are both wealthy, with similar net worths, amounting to tens of billions.
However, A Yuan is different from Boss Wen's children. Boss Wen's children are at most worth 1 billion yuan.
But Ah Yuan is the only billionaire among Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan.
Taking him to meet clients was not disrespectful to them; on the contrary, it showed respect.
As soon as Chen Rou returned to the hotel, Master Dong started pressuring her relentlessly.
The calls came one after another, because when Mr. Dong ordered dinner, he clearly ordered a steamed grouper, but when the dish was delivered to his room, he opened the lid and found that the grouper had turned into an old loach.
Although the hotel's general manager led the lobby manager and head chef to apologize to Mr. Dong, and even called the police to investigate who had replaced the grouper with loach.
But Master Dong knew best that calling the police wouldn't solve the problem; Hu Xiaotian had just gotten too big for his britches and wanted to get rid of him.
It should be noted that Dong Ye was not on the list of those returning to attend the ceremony, and once he returned, he was certain to be dragged out and dealt with.
But ever since he was three years old and could pee standing up, he's been involved in the underworld in Kowloon. He's the father of gangsters, their dad. He'd rather die standing than bow down to anyone.
How could he possibly tolerate being provoked like this by his former subordinate who had once knelt before him and addressed him as "Father"?
If Chen Rou doesn't show up soon, he'll have to take the death warrant and go play one last game with Hu Xiaotian.
He would rather die before the handover, becoming the eternal swan song of Hong Kong's triads, than lose.
Chen Rou was in a flurry of activity, actually tidying herself up as well.
On this trip to the casino, she was both Dong Ye's spokesperson and Nie Zhao's wife, as well as the vice chairman of the Nie family. Since everyone was in Macau, it wasn't surprising that she went to the casino.
However, given her status, she had to dress herself up, as clothes make the man.
She had a very simple little black dress, which Li Xia had picked out from a pile of clothes for her a few days ago.
Chen Rou didn't particularly like wearing skirts because of the uncomfortable fabric, the numerous patterns, and their inconvenience. However, as Mrs. Nie, she was going to gamble, not fight, so wearing a skirt was definitely better.
The little black dress is neither too flashy nor too dignified in color. It has a very large skirt and is comfortable to wear. Just pair it with a pair of black loafers, and you'll look comfortable without looking too simplistic or casual.
The jewelry was chosen by Nie Zhao. The father and son stood side by side at the door of the dressing room, dressed identically, one hand in their pocket and the other touching their chins, watching Chen Rou busily working.
Nie Zhao helped Chen Rou pick out two pearl earrings from the jewelry box she was carrying.
Ah Yuan climbed onto the glass cabinet using a stool, insisting on putting the necklace on his mother himself. Then, seeing his father pick up the pearl necklace, he insisted on putting it on his mother himself.
Grab a classic black Gucci bag, put on your shoes, and Chen Rou is ready to go.
A-Yuan hadn't changed out of his pajamas yet, and his toy gun was still tucked into his waistband. But because the room was rather dark and his sunglasses weren't very good quality, his father helped him put them on top of his head.
As soon as Mom left, A Yuan reached out, and Dad picked him up.
Wow, the whole family is dressed in black! Mom looks super pretty in her black dress, and Yuan looks so cool too. He's all ready to have fun with Mom and Dad.
He didn't forget to tell his dad, "Baby's mom is super hot!"
His mother was beautiful, of course. She wore a black dress, had slightly curled hair, and walked lightly down the thickly carpeted corridor, looking just like Audrey Hepburn from an old movie.
It's quite surreal; a walking Audrey Hepburn is going to teach the casinos in Macau a lesson tonight.
Nie Zhao nodded: "Yes, Mom is indeed beautiful."
Ah Yuan clapped her hands gently: "Baby, let's have fun together with Mommy."
He hadn't changed out of his pajamas and was going out with his mother again. Ah Yuan thought to himself, "Hehe, my brother didn't expect this, did he? Tonight, he'll be going out to have fun with his mother. I can't control him, hmph!"
But that's not right. Mom walked to the elevator, and my brother and the bodyguards were waiting. They should go with her too.
But Mom waved her hand and said lightly, "Bye-bye, Yuan, see you later."
Then she got into the elevator, but her father didn't move.
Not only did he stop walking and refuse to enter the elevator, but he also said, "A-Yuan, say goodbye to Mom, see you in a bit."
A Yuan's infancy is officially over from this moment on.
As toddlers grow up, they will have disagreements with their parents, and they will gradually realize that they are not the center of the world, and that even their parents do not revolve around them.
Not everything he envisioned could be realized.
The little one turned to look at his father in surprise and reminded him, "Mom, it's so cute!"
Then tears streamed down her face, and she even tried to cover for her father: "Dad, didn't you see it?"
