"Cousin, Xiao Jing, I'm sorry." There was something wrong with Ren Zhengyu's voice. Liu Jingze, who answered the call as soon as he saw it was Ren Zhengyu, could tell immediately and said gently, "Yu, what's wrong? Are you wronged?"
Ren Zhengyu didn't hesitate in front of his doting cousin and said directly, "I just ran into Uncle Shen Shigen and Brother Le at my cousin's company. They suddenly said they wanted to visit my cousin and the baby. They were very determined and I guess there's no way to stop them."
The Shen family and the Ren family are old enemies. Although Shen Shigen was expelled from the Shen family that year, he recently returned to the Shen family and made quite a stir. Liu Jingze is the nephew of the Ren family and half a member of the Ren family. It is not suitable for him to have any contact with Shen Shigen under the current circumstances, otherwise, someone in the Ren family will definitely have a problem with him.
Even the usually simple and cute Ren Zhengyu understood this truth, which is why he reacted this way.
Liu Jingze's expression remained unchanged, his eyes flickered, and his tone remained gentle: "It's really unexpected that you met them by chance."
Ren Zhengyu said: "I met them at the company where my cousin's wife works. Cousin, let me tell you..."
Ren Zhengyu explained in detail:
At eight o'clock in the morning, Ren Zhengyu brought several people from the construction company to the construction site of Dinghui Company's second phase factory.
It is obviously winter, but the temperature today is 26 degrees. Winter in the south is sometimes like this, not only warm as spring, but even like summer.
Under a blazing sun, machinery roared on the construction site, and workers bustled about busily. Wearing a hard hat, Ren Zhengyu listened intently as the project manager reported on the progress of the project.
He didn't quite understand and couldn't hear clearly, but he still had the right attitude (not pretending to understand when he didn't, but just listening politely, listening more and talking less).
The engineer next to him communicated with the project manager and pointed out some areas that needed improvement.
Suddenly, his cell phone rang. It was Xiao Zhaoshan calling: "Mr. Ren, are you at the construction site of our company's second phase factory?"
Ren Zhengyu replied: "Yes, Vice President Xiao."
Xiao Zhaoshan said, "Mr. Ren, please take some time to come to my office. We need to discuss something in person."
Ren Zhengyu frowned slightly, and although he felt a little confused, he still replied, "Okay."
Ren Zhengyu arranged the matters on the construction site and hurried to meet Xiao Zhaoshan.
As a result, we met Shen Shigen and his group in the reception hall of Dinghui Company, as well as He Xinyu and several other people.
Shen Shigen obviously didn't expect to meet Ren Zhengyu here, and his tone was full of surprise: "Yu, why are you here? Isn't your cousin-in-law on maternity leave?" He thought Ren Zhengyu came here to find Su Tiantian, but then he thought, that's not right, Su Tiantian is already on maternity leave.
Ren Zhengyu stepped forward and greeted them obediently: "Good morning, Uncle Shen, Brother Le, and Brother Yu."
Shen Jiale took Ren Zhengyu's arm and asked, "Ayu, looking at your outfit, are you from a construction site? You haven't even taken off your helmet yet." His helmet was still on, and there was a lot of dust on his clothes. The shoes on his feet were even worse, as there were traces of mud.
He Xinyu said, "No need to ask, is he coming from the construction site next to us?"
Ren Zhengyu said helplessly: "Brother Yu, Vice President Xiao of your company wants to see me. I didn't even change my clothes and came directly from the construction site. I won't talk to you anymore. I want to see Vice President Xiao. Brother Le, let go."
Facing Ren Zhengyu, who was open and unabashed, Shen Jiale let go of his arm and said a bit complainingly, "I finally got to see you, and you just left after saying a few words. Give me a chance, I'll treat you to a meal, okay?"
Ren Zhengyu said, "Brother Le, you don't have to treat me. I'll treat you to dinner, but it'll be later. It's work time now, and we can't spend too much money. I only have a little over 2,100 yuan in pocket money left this month."
The latter sentence sounded a bit pitiful. It was only the beginning of the month and he only had a little pocket money left, and he never mentioned his own private money.
(The five Ren brothers and Liu Jingze received a monthly allowance of 10,000 yuan from the Ren family. Their income, of course, was more than just this. Ren Zhenghui, for example, earned a considerable amount from his own salary and annual company dividends. Liu Jingze, in addition to his salary and company dividends, also had rental income, plus pocket money from Liu Liangjie and Liu Zhaosheng. Of the six, Ren Zhengyu earned the least, with only a 3,000 yuan salary. Yet, he was so favored. Ren Mailu would give him 1,000 yuan and send him a photo or two when he went to visit Liu Jingze's children. His older brothers and sisters were also willing to give him money to coax him, with several transferring 200 yuan each. This was quite common, so he did have a certain amount of private money. However, his principle for spending money was: pocket money could be used, but private money should not be used unless absolutely necessary. Otherwise, he wouldn't have saved any.)
Shen Jiale was bewildered. "Ah Yu, today is only the 2nd, and your pocket money is only over 2,100 yuan? Where did you spend it?"
Ren Zhengyu knew how much pocket money he had per month. Shen Jiale was Shen Shigen's son and knew a lot about the Shen and Ren families. Not everyone in the Ren family had that much pocket money (in the eyes of rich people, ten thousand yuan is nothing, but there are many people whose two months' salary combined is less than ten thousand yuan. Here, hiring a confinement nanny usually costs 8,000 yuan, and the better so-called gold medal confinement nannies cost ten thousand yuan a month, so Ren Zhengyu's pocket money was not small).
Ren Zhengyu said arrogantly, "I won't tell you. Anyway, I'm treating you to a meal, but you can't choose a place that's too expensive or order too expensive dishes. I have to make do with these 2,100 yuan to get through this month."
In fact, under normal circumstances, Ren Zhengyu does not have to pay for his own food, clothing, housing and transportation (in Ren Zhengxuan's words, his gas bill is reimbursed by his fifth uncle, Ren Zhengyu's father). His pocket money is for his personal use, such as buying action figures, giving gifts to others, and treating friends to meals.
He Xinyu found it funny, so he teased Ren Zhengyu: "Ah Yu, you can treat Mr. Shen and Mr. Le to dinner at Siqi Farm without spending your pocket money, right? Your sister-in-law and cousin can both waive the bill."
Ren Zhengyu's expression suddenly grew serious. He took a deep breath and slowly said, "Family rules and interests are sometimes not so simple to explain. I can personally invite Uncle Shen and Brother Le to dinner. Please don't involve my sister-in-law and cousin. They are not like me. Some elders will deliberately target them."
Upon hearing this, Shen Jiale said angrily, "Ren Zhengyu, I'm just interacting with you normally. I didn't ask you to reveal anything about the Ren family."
Shen Shigen patted Ren Zhengyu on the shoulder and said, "The family business is complicated and intricate. One move can affect the entire family. I understand that you don't want to bring trouble to your father and the family. As for me, I don't want to embarrass you either. You are Ren Mailu's son, not someone else in the Ren family. So, you don't have to treat us to dinner. Ale and I plan to go see Xiaojing's child this afternoon. Do you want to come with us?"
Ren Zhengyu's expression became increasingly ugly, and he didn't try to hide his emotions at all: "Uncle Shen, it's very difficult for my cousin to do it when you suddenly ask to visit his child."
Shen Shigen smiled disapprovingly: "Why don't you quickly inform your cousin Xiao Jing?"
Ren Zhengyu...
