"My little darlings, how is the relationship between your father and mother?" Yang Xiaoyue put the skewers aside and looked at the three babies in front of her curiously.
Yibao and the others didn't know why she asked that, so they rolled their eyes and tentatively replied, "Their relationship isn't going very well."
Yang Xiaoyue was stunned. They were cooking dinner together, wasn’t it going smoothly?
"Why do you say that? I think they are pretty good." She asked the question that was in her heart.
Yibao took her wrist and walked to the huge French window beside the villa door, "Grandma, come here, we will show you."
They hid beside the sofa in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, stretched out their little heads and looked at the courtyard opposite the villa.
Yang Xiaoyue followed suit, lowering her body very low and staring straight at the opposite side.
Opposite the villa,
Yun Qianran felt the restless hand on her body and instantly came back to her senses.
...
...
She put down the skewers, pinched the big hand that almost climbed to her chest with one hand, grabbed the one on her lower abdomen with the other hand, and pushed out with both hands at the same time, shouting: "Let go!"
"Not letting go." Zhuang Tingyun chuckled, and his mouth, which was originally very close to her ear, suddenly opened and bit her delicate and small earlobe.
Yun Qianran felt a sense of horror as if she had been electrocuted, and her voice was filled with a hint of anger, "What are you doing!"
"You can't bite that spot!"
Her voice was trembling and her body was shaking, it was really terrible.
"Why can't I bite it?" Zhuang Tingyun was like a curious baby. He held the delicate little thing with his lips and admired her shy look.
After that, as if she was still asking for more, she stuck out her tongue and touched it lightly with the tip of her delicate tongue.
Yun Qianran's body trembled, and she fell limply into his arms.
Zhuang Tingyun hurriedly hugged her and said, "Madam, be careful."
"You want to play, right?" Yun Qianran suddenly loosened her hands that were holding his arms, leaned into his arms, and her small hands swam directly to the three inches below his abdomen.
"What does Madam want to do?" Zhuang Tingyun's pupils contracted, and he had a bad feeling.
Yun Qianran slowly pressed the corners of her lips, and pinched them hard in his astonished eyes.
"Hiss!" Zhuang Tingyun took a breath of cold air and his subconscious reaction was to push her away.
Yun Qianran did not resist and distanced herself from him.
Yang Xiaoyue and the three babies on the opposite side didn't notice anything about the open and secret fight between the two.
But Zhuang Tingyun's expression changed drastically and he pushed Yun Qianran away, but Yun Qianran seemed to be very happy, which was clearly seen by them.
"It seems that your parents' relationship is really not very stable." Yang Xiaoyue believed what the three babies said, and was wondering in her heart if there was any way to bring the two closer together.
"Right, grandma, do you have any good ideas?" Yibao asked sweetly.
Yang Xiaoyue sat back in her chair, thinking, "Let grandma think about it."
As she was thinking, she saw the skewers beside her.
"Gudong." Subconsciously swallowing her saliva, Yang Xiaoyue replied awkwardly: "How about this, little darlings, you go back first, and I'll come back to discuss it with you when grandma has thought it through."
"Okay, grandma." The three babies left happily.
"Mom, Dad, we're back!"
In the small courtyard, Yun Qianran was still busy making grilled skewers, while Zhuang Tingyun stood aside and watched quietly, as if nothing had happened.
"Hey, mom and dad, are you unhappy?" The three babies noticed that something was wrong with their mood.
Yun Qianran glared at them and said unhappily, "Why did you take so long to come back?"
The three babies hunched their necks and lowered their heads and replied, "We chatted with great-grandma for a while. She was alone over there and was very lonely."
Yun Qianran burst out laughing, "Do you know what loneliness means?"
She put all the skewers on the grill on plates for them and said, "Eat first, then go ask grandma if she wants more."
"Okay, Mom." Yibao happily took the baking tray.
"We've eaten all of them, what are you going to do, Mom?"
"Let's continue grilling!" Yun Qianran stared at Zhuang Tingyun in front of her, "Go get some more dishes."
Zhuang Tingyun smiled and said, "As you wish!"
Yun Qianran raised her little fist and pretended to be fierce: "Who is smiling at you? Go!"
"Okay, ma'am!" Zhuang Tingyun trotted away.
Yun Qianran shook her head helplessly. Who gave him the courage to treat her like that?
She recalled the time when she was almost succeeded by him, and her expression became complicated.
"Madam, the food is here!" Zhuang Tingyun put all the newly taken out skewers on the grill, "Madam, go take a rest, I will grill it."
He stood beside Yun Qianran and forced her away.
Yun Qianran was pushed away from the grill by him, groaning and about to get angry again.
But before she could speak, Zhuang Tingyun blocked her mouth and said, "Madam, the fumes are not good for your skin. Let me do this kind of thing in the future."
As he spoke, Zhuang Tingyun pinched her fair and delicate face.
Yun Qianran:?
"Your methods of taking advantage of others are never repeated! With this experience, you still say that you have never had other women."
Zhuang Tingyun's face straightened, "I didn't say I haven't had other women."
"I've always said that I had a wife."
His face was serious. "Madam has been asking me how many girls I have slept with. I said I have only slept with Madam."
Yun Qianran rolled her eyes and said, "Get lost! You're getting more and more ridiculous."
If she really slept with him, she didn't even know it?
"Don't talk nonsense to me. If you have never slept with a woman, did Xiao Nuan pop out of a stone?" Yun Qianran snorted coldly.
When Zhuang Xiaonuan heard this, she quickly looked up and replied, "Xiaonuan was born by my mother, not from a stone!"
Yun Qianran heard the dissatisfaction in her tone and comforted her softly, "The baby must be born by mom. Mom was just joking with your dad."
After saying this, she just stayed where she was.
What did she just say?
As for Xiao Nuan's background, she has confirmed that she is her daughter and the DNA test cannot be false.
Then according to her logic just now, isn't the woman that Zhuang Tingyun slept with her?
In front of the grill, Zhuang Tingyun rarely did not refute her.
His deep eyes swept across her face from time to time. He had been curious about who Xiao Nuan's mother was for five years.
Ever since he accidentally found Xiao Nuan in the hospital that year, he never gave up looking for her, but unfortunately there has been no trace of her.
Just as Yun Qianran said, he had actually done some identification on Xiao Nuan's identity.
Apart from anything else, there is absolutely no problem with the father-daughter relationship between Xiao Nuan and him.
Five years and twenty DNA tests confirmed each time that he was his biological son.
So when and with whom did he leave Xiao Nuan?
He kept thinking about it in his mind, and when he thought about it carefully, apart from the memory of that night more than five years ago, he really couldn't remember who else he had slept with.
So Xiao Nuan is actually Yun Qianran’s daughter?
But looking at her expression, it seems like she has no idea that she has a daughter.
At this moment, Zhuang Tingyun felt a little suspicious, but in order to avoid making a mistake and embarrassing both parties, he did not say it out loud.
"What are you looking at?" Although he didn't say anything, Yun Qianran couldn't help herself. Why did this guy look at her in such a strange way, as if he was looking at something.
"Madam, come and eat." Thinking that Yun Qianran might really be the mother of his daughter, Zhuang Tingyun's tone became much better.
He picked up a bunch of leeks and stuffed them into her hands. "Madam, you must be tired after working so hard to roast them for so long. Eat some first."
Don’t ask him why he gave leeks. It’s because leeks are the easiest to ripen and ripen the fastest.
Yun Qianran looked at the leeks he handed over and said speechlessly, "Did you do this on purpose?"
She seriously suspected that this guy was taking revenge on her for feeding him leeks twice last time.
Zhuang Tingyun shook his head repeatedly, "Madam, please don't talk nonsense."
Why would he do that on purpose? Since he had decided not to cause any misunderstanding, he naturally wouldn't want to make her angry.
Yun Qianran glanced at him suspiciously and said, "Okay, I'm just overthinking it."
She took the chives and took a bite. "It's a little dry. Brush it with more oil."
"Okay, ma'am!" Zhuang Tingyun agreed with a big laugh.
After eating the skewers, Yun Qianran walked into the villa with the three babies. Zhuang Tingyun looked at them eagerly from behind, "Madam, are you going to abandon me alone?"
“Don’t make yourself sound so wronged.” Yun Qianran glared.
Zhuang Tingyun put away his grievances and said seriously, "I want to sleep with my wife. I'm afraid of the dark."
Yun Qianran was so angry that she said, "Get lost!"
This guy, does he have any shame?
"Okay, I'll leave. Don't be angry, madam." Zhuang Tingyun smiled and comforted her.
After watching Yun Qianran and the three babies walk into the villa, Zhuang Tingyun returned to his home.
"Han Xiong, ask someone to clean up the courtyard across the street."
Yang Xiaoyue came up to him and asked, "Ting'er, what are you doing back here?"
Zhuang Tingyun's eyes flashed, "I don't think we should rush into this."
Yang Xiaoyue glanced at him and said, "Your daughter is already five years old, are you still in a hurry?"
"According to you, do you have to wait until the three little ones grow up and get married before you get back together?"
Zhuang Tingyun was stunned. "What is grandma talking about?"
What reconciliation? They have never been together. These two words are not appropriate to use.
"You know what I mean." Yang Xiaoyue looked at him dimly, leaving him with her back, "As a man, you should take the initiative in this matter."
Zhuang Tingyun didn't say anything else. He thought carefully about the time since he met Yun Qianran. Was there ever a time when he didn't take the initiative?
Time came to the next day.
Early in the morning, Zhuang Tingyun's cell phone began to ring rapidly.
He suddenly opened his eyes, a hint of impatience rising in his eyes, "What's the matter?"
"Master Ting, please come to the company soon. Master Er has been contacting the shareholders' meeting early in the morning, saying that he wants to hold a criticism meeting against you."
Zhuang Tingyun's eyes were gloomy. "What criticism meeting?"
"I don't know either. I just heard them say that." The secretary on the other side felt guilty.
"Waste!" Zhuang Tingyun dropped the phone, stood up and started to put on his clothes.
Inside the meeting room of Zhuang Group.
When Zhuang Tingyun came over, the entire conference room was already full of people, not many, only twenty-three. Apart from the Zhuang family, the others were outsiders who held a small number of shares.
They are the kind of shareholders where all the shares held by more than a dozen people add up to less than 5%, and each of them holds a few tenths of a percent.
"As the president of the group, how can you let so many of us wait for you?" Upon seeing his figure, Zhuang Lihua immediately stood up and scolded him.
Zhuang Tingyun pretended not to hear anything. He half-closed his eyes and sat down in front of the main seat in the conference room. "Should I ask you to start the meeting or wait for me?"
Zhuang Lihua choked, "It's not like we didn't notify you. You were the last to arrive anyway!"
Zhuang Tingyun laughed angrily, "How about we all go home first and do it again to see who will be late?"
Zhuang Lihua was speechless. He rolled his eyes and began to change the subject. "Stop talking nonsense. Today's shareholders' meeting is just to ask you how you are doing as the president."
"Oh?" Zhuang Tingyun raised his eyebrows slightly.
Zhuang Lihua became even more angry when he saw his nonchalant look, "Do you think you can get rid of the fact that you failed in your duty by doing this?"
A hint of ridicule flashed across Zhuang Tingyun's eyes, "Where have I failed in my duty?"
Zhuang Lihua took a deep breath and read out the script that he had memorized dozens of times, "Ancheng Medical Equipment Factory has a batch of goods going abroad, worth 300 million yuan. It has been half a year since the delivery, but we haven't received a penny so far. Isn't it your dereliction of duty?
In addition, the high-end chemical raw material factory was also owed nearly 2 billion yuan in final payments by various sellers! There was even a fabric factory that was reported to the Municipal Supervision Bureau many times for producing inferior fabrics!
"We have kept all these things secret for you. Otherwise, once the news got out, it would be a huge blow to the banker. You must know better than us!"
"I do know it better than you." Zhuang Tingyun nodded.
Zhuang Lihua's throat moved, and he frowned deeply: "Do you think you can get rid of it with just one sentence?"
"Just do it if you know the answer. Come up with a solution! Everyone can talk big!"
Zhuang Tingyun watched his performance like a monkey, until he realized something was wrong and glared back at him fiercely, then Zhuang Tingyun stretched out his hands and clapped his hands, "Well said!"
"Clap, clap, clap!" As Zhuang Tingyun clapped, everyone in the conference room was led to applaud.
Zhuang Lihua's face turned red and white, "What do you mean?"
He felt like Zhuang Tingyun was laughing at him!
"I don't mean anything. I just want to ask, since you have thought of these things, why don't you do it? What's the point of coming here to tell me?"
"And if I remember correctly, the three factories you just mentioned are all managed by your second branch. If the Zhuang Group really has such a big problem, why are all the problems caused by your second branch, but other branches are fine?"
Zhuang Lihua was speechless after being confronted by him. He hesitated for a long time before saying, "We are just managers. Aren't you the real person in charge?"
Zhuang Tingyun closed his eyes slightly and asked calmly, "Can I understand your words as that I am the one who can decide the life and death of your factory, and you are not qualified to do so?"
Zhuang Lihua's heart skipped a beat, as if he had gotten himself into trouble.
But they themselves didn't know how long they had been preparing for today's event, and he would not be willing to give up just like that.
"That's right, you are the president of Zhuang Group, what does it have to do with us!"
"Okay!" Zhuang Tingyun swept his cold eyes across the audience, "What do you say?"
He wanted to see if everyone agreed with these words.
As long as these guys dare to nod, then all the consequences that follow will be their own fault!
"We think what the Second Master said is right!"
"That's right. Mr. Zhuang is the president and the one in charge. If there is any problem with the group, it must be because Mr. Zhuang failed to supervise properly."
Zhuang Tingyun smiled, and smiled happily.
He flipped his hand and took out a contract, and asked the secretary beside him to pass it out, "Sign it."
"What does Mr. Zhuang mean?" The first person who got the contract was puzzled.
"You have two choices. If you sign, stay seated. If you don't sign, get out!" Zhuang Tingyun said domineeringly.
"Mr. Zhuang, don't be angry. I'm just asking." The man took the contract and read it from the beginning. The more he read, the more shocked he became. The words on it were the same ones they had used to criticize Zhuang Tingyun just now.
But it would be fine if it was just said verbally, but if it is really brought out in the open, it is really a scam!
This means that from now on, Zhuang Tingyun will be the one who has the final say in the Zhuang Group. Other shareholders, big or small, no matter how many shares they hold, can have a say but will not have the right to make decisions. If Zhuang Tingyun is willing, he can even directly cancel their shareholder status and take back all their shares.
After reading this, he gritted his teeth and replied, "Boss Zhuang, I want to think about it again."
Zhuang Tingyun stared at him with his eagle-like eyes until his scalp went numb and he was covered in cold sweat. Then he said calmly, "Someone, throw him out!"
"Yes!" Han Xiong came in with two bodyguards to catch the man.
The shareholder was shocked and quickly changed his words, "Sign, I sign!"
Han Xiong looked at Zhuang Tingyun, who waved his hand, "What are you standing there for?"
Han Xiong's heart trembled violently, and he quickly took people to drag him out.
The rest of the people who saw this scene were all silent. It was over. Master Ting was serious.
I should not have listened to Second Master. Why am I joining in the fun today?
"Keep passing it!"
The contract fell to the second small shareholder. After reading the contents of the contract, he was also confused.
But thinking of the fate of the first small shareholder, he became furious and signed his name with gritted teeth.
"very good!"
The contract was then passed to a third party. Next, except for a few people in the old house such as Zhuang Lihua, and three other people who were stubborn enough to think that their equity would not be taken back if they left, all the rest signed.
Zhuang Tingyun looked at the contract in his hand and said with a satisfied smile: "Why don't the people in the old house sign it? I am doing things according to your wishes. Do you still have any objections?"
After saying this, Zhuang Tingyun stood up.
He exuded an oppressive aura and pressed down on Zhuang Lihua, "Or do you just want me to take the blame but don't want to pay for your own mistakes?"
Zhuang Lihua looked flustered; he had not expected this.
Not to mention him, no one in the entire old house expected it.
"I'll sign!" Suddenly, Zhuang Lihan, who had been silent, stood up.
She walked up to Zhuang Tingyun, snatched the contract from his hand, and signed her name on it.
Zhuang Tingyun gave her a high look and said, "Smart."
Then only Zhuang Lixiao, Zhuang Lihua, and their three children were left. He looked coldly and kept scanning the meeting room.
The remaining people from the old houses who met his eyes felt their scalps tingle. "If we don't want to sign, then we don't have to. We are all members of the Zhuang family. You can't force us."
Zhuang Yuwei stood up abruptly and looked at him fiercely.
"What if I force you?" Zhuang Tingyun raised his eyes and asked back.
"I..." Zhuang Yuwei paused. Yes, what could they do?
"Besides, what do you think you are doing now?" Zhuang Tingyun's eyes were full of ridicule.
What these guys are doing today is just to force him to leave!
"How can a man be so shameless as to allow the officials to set fires but not the people to light lamps?"
Zhuang Tingyun sat back in the main seat in the conference room. He didn't say anything and didn't ask for the meeting to end. He just remained in a stalemate with them.
The people in the old house were fine, but those who signed their names were worried. I thought Zhuang Tingyun wouldn't suddenly throw them into the river to feed the fish.
Based on their understanding of Zhuang Tingyun, the possibility of this happening is extremely high.
After all, what they did today in collaboration with the Old House was equivalent to slapping Zhuang Tingyun in the face!
Or the kind that makes a popping sound!
Unlike their entanglement, the hearts of everyone in the old house are actually more complicated.
They were the ones who started the trouble, and now they don't know how to end it.
Signing it means you agree that from now on, Zhuang Tingyun will have the final say on all decisions of the Zhuang Group.
But if they don't sign, all their preparations for the past six months will be in vain.
In the past, even with more than 40 shares, Zhuang Tingyun still couldn't be the largest in the group.
But now with Yang Xiaoyue's 20 shares, it can be said that Zhuang Group is his largest!
If they don't take this opportunity to kick him out, they really don't see any possibility in the future.
After thinking this through, Zhuang Ruihe, dressed in a suit and tie, suddenly stood up and said, "I'll sign, too."
He and Zhuang Tingyun looked at each other. Their eldest house had always been in a state of not helping either side. Neither the old house nor Zhuang Tingyun helped anyone. They just did what they were supposed to do.
They didn't even know how the fire had burned them today.
"Han Xiong, give the things to him."
"Since Big Brother wants to sign, why not help Uncle sign as well?"
To put it nicely, they are neutrals, but to put it bluntly, they are fence-sitters who will help whoever is stronger.
To be honest, Zhuang Tingyun doesn't like people like this!
Zhuang Lixiao sighed, "Give it to me, I'll sign it myself."
He knew that the days of being a neutral party would not last long, but he did not expect that day to come so soon.
Except for Zhuang Tiansheng, three of the six people present in the old house have already signed. Zhuang Tingyun is very satisfied with this result.
Looking at the remaining three people, he sat quietly in the chair and continued to wait.
He was not in a hurry. If he could just waste a little time and get all these guys to agree, he would definitely make money today.
As time went on, from sunrise to sunset, everyone in the conference room began to feel uneasy.
"Mr. Zhuang, I want to pick up my son from school." A brave man asked tentatively.
Zhuang Tingyun glanced at him indifferently and said nothing.
The man met his gaze and immediately sat back down knowingly, "I'll ask my wife to pick it up."
The sun sets and the moon rises. A ray of bright moonlight shines in from the window of the conference room through the explosion-proof glass, falls on the faces of everyone in the conference room, and casts mottled images.
However, against the backdrop of the already dim conference room, this little bit of mottled beauty seemed particularly eerie in everyone's hearts at this moment.
The pressure is still on Zhuang Lihua and his son and Zhuang Yuwei.
They kept breaking out in cold sweats, regretting in their hearts why they had to do this today.
Zhuang Yuwei was filled with mixed feelings. He stood up and said, "It's impossible for me to sign. If you want to take my shares, you have to kill me!"
Zhuang Tingyun was surprised, "Who wants to take your shares?"
"As you said, I am the one who makes the final decision for the Zhuang Group. All I want is for you to acknowledge your words in writing!"
He only hopes that the Zhuang Group can hear his own voice, instead of the chattering like today!
Most people who don’t know would think this is a vegetable market rather than a conference room of a top multinational company.
"Is it that simple?" Zhuang Yuwei was unconvinced.
Zhuang Tingyun stared into her eyes and nodded, "Come and sign the letter."
Zhuang Yuwei's expression kept changing, and finally he quietly came to his side and signed his name, "Then Third Brother, can I leave now?"
The atmosphere here was so depressing that she didn't want to stay any longer.
"No hurry, your second uncle and second brother are here." Zhuang Tingyun pointed to the chair in front of him, "Sit down."
The people there had been driven out by him in the beginning.
Zhuang Yuwei sat down obediently. He thought that his second uncle and second brother would probably not agree to sign.
She can't just stay with them until they sign.
She had a lot of thoughts in her mind, but she had no idea that Zhuang Lihua and his son were also struggling with the question of whether to agree or not.
Even though they knew that Zhuang Tingyun would be the one who had the final say in the future of the Zhuang Group, they were unwilling to let him succeed so easily!
“Tick-tock.”
"The time now is twelve o'clock in the morning."
A time signal suddenly sounded from Zhuang Tingyun's body.
Everyone in the conference room who heard the sound shuddered reflexively. What should they do? They missed home so much.
There has never been a moment when they thought so much about the warm bed and the arms of their wife and children.
"Dad!" Zhuang Xiaonuan appeared in front of the meeting room door.
She was holding a thermos bucket in her hand and trotted over to Zhuang Tingyun. "Mom asked me to make you a midnight snack. Dad, come and eat."
Zhuang Tingyun looked towards the entrance of the conference room and happened to meet the eyes of Yun Qianran who was with her two sons.
"Dad, we can't sleep without you." The soft words of Yibao and Jinbao touched the hearts of the big guys who heard these words in the conference room. They also missed their sons.
Yun Qianran's eyes flashed as she took in all their performances. This is called psychological warfare!
She learned from Han Xiong that these people had been sitting here for a whole day.
Everyone has not drunk a drop of water or eaten a grain of rice. What they are competing for now is endurance.
Whoever says they want to eat first loses.
In this situation, Zhuang Tingyun's wife and children suddenly appeared and brought delicious food. It was simply a critical hit!
She didn't believe these guys could sit still.
And the fact was exactly as she thought. When Zhuang Tingyun opened the thermos bucket and the rich aroma of food filled the conference room, everyone couldn't hold back.
"Second Master, just sign it!"
"That's right. There's no loss. Besides, your three factories still need Mr. Zhuang's help to investigate the situation."
Public opinion was like the last straw that broke the camel's back. Even though Zhuang Lihua was extremely unwilling in his heart, for the sake of the Zhuang Group's one-man rule and the capital to compete with Zhuang Tingyun in the future, he did not dare to offend so many shareholders.
Amidst the condemnation, he stood up with his son helplessly, "I can sign, but..."
He wanted to make conditions.
But Zhuang Tingyun's attention was completely on the thermos at this moment, and he didn't even bother to look at him.
Zhuang Lihua was so angry that he stormed off, "What kind of attitude is this!"
They were starving all day, and he was eating good food up there?
