A few days after Jiang Chen visited him in prison, He Yanfeng called him and asked him to come home when he was free.
Evaluations of the Changjiang home version are gradually emerging, and it has a good reputation. The company is full of confidence in its future listing. The development work at the research institute has been focused on the military aspect. Although Jiang Chen is the main developer, the specific direction is still determined by the researchers who specialize in military applications, so he has a lot of free time during this period.
The next day after talking to He Yanfeng, he asked for leave and went home.
It has been more than a month since he last came back. Jiang Chen thought that he would be able to see two sets of parents and his younger brothers and sisters in the living room just like before. However, it seemed that they didn't know he would come back. The aunt at home was very surprised to see him and turned around to call Yang Yun.
When Yang Yun heard Jiang Chen was back, she hurried downstairs and pulled him to sit down with a look of surprise. "Why are you back at this time? You didn't even tell mom. Wait a minute, I'll call your parents right away and ask them to come over for lunch. When I called your mom yesterday, she said she missed you."
——Ever since the relationship between the two families has become more relaxed, everyone has tacitly accepted that Jiang Chen calls He Yanfeng and his wife mom and dad, and that Jiang Zhuo and his wife are still dad and mom.
Jiang Chen knew by now that He Yanfeng hadn't told them that he probably had something else to talk to him about, so he shook his head and said, "Dad asked me to come back yesterday because he probably had something to talk to me about. I might have to go to the company, so don't call them yet."
Yang Yun was stunned, thought about it, and suddenly smiled and shook his head: "Your father is really."
Jiang Chen was puzzled: "Do you know why he asked me to come back?"
"Your Uncle Xu brought back a kid two years ago. The kid is about your age, one year younger than you. He's a freshman this year, but he's already started helping out at the company. I think he negotiated a project a while ago. Your dad ran into your Uncle Xu when he was out socializing. He was probably mad at Uncle Xu showing off his son, so he called you back."
Jiang Chen was silent for a moment, unable to believe that He Yanfeng was so anxious and hesitant to ask him to come back for this matter. But based on his understanding of his father, it seemed that he could really do such a thing.
Sure enough, after Yang Yun called He Yanfeng to tell him that Jiang Chen had returned, He Yanfeng immediately asked Jiang Chen to go to the company, asked him to change into formal clothes, and said that he would take him to meet some old friends in the evening.
"I'm meeting an old friend and he wants his son to wear some formal clothes." Yang Yun complained, but turned around and happily picked out clothes for him.
Jiang Chen always thought that He Yanfeng came to see him because he might have heard the news that he went to the prison to visit He Qianjian, and wanted to ask him about it in person. It was not until he stood at the meeting and was introduced to the elders by He Yanfeng one by one, and finally to Uncle Xu, who seemed to casually mention that he was now working in a research institute and was leading a project alone, that he realized that he had been overthinking.
"Hello, Uncle Xu." Jiang Chen waited for He Yanfeng to finish speaking, then smiled helplessly and greeted him. When his eyes fell on the thin and handsome boy beside him, he paused slightly and said, "Long time no see."
Mr. Xu was still a little angry at first, but after hearing Jiang Chen's tone, he asked in surprise: "Do you know each other?"
Xu Chang nodded to Jiang Chen and said coldly: "Before I transferred to the same high school as Senior Jiang, he helped me."
"Since we know each other, let's go play together. You guys will be bored if we adults are talking." He Yanfeng said with a smile
Xu Chang nodded in agreement, and the two left together.
When they reached the garden, Xu Chang stopped and turned around and said, "Senior Jiang."
Jiang Chen stopped two meters away from him and said with a faint smile: "I didn't expect you to be Mr. Xu's son."
Xu Chang's slightly gentle expression turned cold, "I'm not his son."
Jiang Chen was slightly stunned. Looking at his expression, he remembered his lukewarm greeting just now. At first, he thought that they were just unfamiliar with each other. Now that he thought about it, that indifference did not seem to be directed at him.
Xu Chang didn't seem to have a very good relationship with his father, but this was someone else's family affair and it was not appropriate for him to ask too much.
"I heard you are also at Yanda University now." Jiang Chen changed the subject: "What is your major?"
"Finance." Xu Chang's lips curled up, but there was no smile in his eyes: "He asked me to learn it."
In fact, Jiang Chen is not a lively person when he is alone with people he is not familiar with. At this moment, he doesn't know what to say.
However, Xu Chang found a topic of his own: "Why did Senior Shen study law? I remember he said before that he wanted to fly a fighter jet and join the Air Force in the future."
Jiang Chen didn't expect that Shen Xu had actually said this to Xu Chang, "We opened a company together, and we agreed to work together in the future, so we both studied related majors."
Xu Chang’s eyes were hard to tell: “You two have a very good relationship.”
"We grew up together, so it's natural that it's good." Jiang Chen looked at the musical fountain in the center of the garden and said, "Let's go sit over there."
Xu Chang said nothing and sat down beside him.
Neither of them spoke, and a faint awkwardness spread in the air.
After an unknown amount of time, Xu Chang suddenly asked, "Senior, is your company still short of people?"
Jiang Chen was stunned: "Why do you ask?"
"After I graduate, I want to work for your company."
Jiang Chen was really surprised this time. He Yanfeng brought him here today because he had heard President Xu praise his son for being so outstanding. He had joined the company at such a young age and had already negotiated a large project, and as the person in charge, he had done a great job. According to this, Xu Chang should have taken over his father's company in the future, but now he said he would go to work in his company after graduation. It was really puzzling.
As if seeing Jiang Chen's doubts, Xu Chang said calmly: "I don't plan to take over his company, and I have never regarded him as a father. Now I live with him just to fulfill my mother's last wish."
Hearing this, Jiang Chen suddenly remembered a scene he saw in the hospital a long time ago. It seemed that not long after that time, Xu Chang transferred to another school. Listening to the conversation between him and his aunt at that time, he had no father, but now he suddenly became Mr. Xu's son. There must be a lot of inside stories involved.
Jiang Chen just realized what was going on when Xu Chang said, "I am just his illegitimate child. For more than ten years, he never looked for me and my mother. My mother called him before she died, but he didn't plan to take me back. It wasn't until his biological son died and he realized he couldn't have any more children that he brought me back to the Xu family."
"So, I can't possibly forgive him, let alone take over his company." Xu Chang looked at Jiang Chen and said seriously, "Senior Jiang, although I'm only a freshman now, many people say that I have a talent for business. I will work hard myself. When I apply for a job at your company, I don't need you to help me through the back door. Everything will go according to the procedures. If I'm accepted, I hope you can keep me."
No one could predict what would happen three years later, but Jiang Chen could guess the reason why Xu Chang found him. Since he was Mr. Xu's only son and was brought to the company to study early, he must have been trained as the heir. Three years later, Xu Chang graduated from university and had four years of work experience. He would be a hot commodity no matter which company he went to.
But the problem is that Mr. Xu will never agree to let his four years of hard work go to waste. At that time, whoever dares to take over Xu Chang will be against the Xu family.
Although Jiang Chen was not worried about these, he remembered that He Yanfeng had said that Tuanan and Xu's company had a cooperation. He probably sent them away from the dinner to discuss the cooperation. If he really hired Xu Chang at that time, the cooperation between Tuanan and Xu's company would probably be affected. He could not let an outsider influence his father's company.
"I'm sorry, but I can't agree to that."
As soon as Jiang Chen refused, Xu Chang knew that he had figured out the key point.
"Senior Jiang, if I can handle all the things well, will you hire me?"
Jiang Chen was curious: "If you can handle the Xu family's affairs, then you can start your own business or go to any company. Why do you have to come to a small company like ours?"
Xu Chang smiled faintly and turned his head to look at him: "Senior Jiang, if your company is considered a small company, I think in the next ten years, no company will dare to call itself a big company."
Jiang Chen turned his head and saw the determination in Xu Chang's eyes. He suddenly curled his lips and said, "Thank you for your good words."
"I'm serious." Xu Chang stood up and said, "Senior, there are still three years left. I hope you can seriously consider it."
When the two returned to the banquet hall, He Yanfeng and President Xu had almost finished their conversation. After saying hello to the organizer of the banquet, He Yanfeng took Jiang Chen away. On the way home, he smiled and said, "It seems that you and Xu Chang have a really good relationship. You have been talking for so long."
Jiang Chen: "We haven't met much. He wanted to see me for something else."
He Yanfeng asked nonchalantly: "What's the matter?"
Jiang Chen said calmly: "He wants to come to work in my company after graduation."
"Go to your company..." He Qianjian sat up with a bang: "What? He said he wanted to go to your company after graduation?"
"right……"
Just as Jiang Chen started to speak, his cell phone rang.
"Hello, are you Master Jiang?"
"It's me." Jiang Chen looked at the caller ID. "Who is it?"
"This is Zhangshan Prison." The caller said, "You reported the problem of prisoner He Qianjian before. We have verified that it is true. We are going to change his cell today. But you also said before that He Qianjian's cell cannot be too close to the duty room, so the only rooms that can be changed are No. 15 and No. 16."
“…”
Jiang Chen listened quietly, humming from time to time.
He Yanfeng didn't say anything. He waited until he hung up the phone before asking, "Research Institute?"
"prison."
He Yanfeng frowned slightly: "What's the matter?"
Jiang Chen recounted what happened on the day he visited He Qianjian, and briefly recounted the content of the phone call: "The prison said that rooms 15 and 16 don't seem to be good places, but He Qianjian insisted on changing, so they asked for my opinion."
He Yanfeng had no good feelings towards He Qianjian since he knew what he had done. In addition, no evidence had been found in the Chengyang Square crushing case, which made him feel uncomfortable. Now he didn't want to care about He Qianjian's affairs. His expression faded and he waved his hand, saying, "If he wants to change, let him change. Let him bear the consequences of his choice, whether it is good or bad."
Jiang Chen had the same idea and had already given his answer on the phone.
Perhaps because the topic was boring, the father and son looked at each other and neither of them was in the mood to talk anymore.
