An Zhaoming knows his son very well. His son is simple-minded, friendly and honest. When he disagrees with others, he will speak out generously on the spot.
This kind of personality is very likable because it is non-aggressive and simple to see at a glance. It is not easy to be wronged because he has his own logic. If he meets someone with different values, he will stay away from them and stay in his comfort zone.
In other words, if the cub is wronged, it must be a great injustice.
An Zhaoming took a step forward and sat down beside the bed.
"Son, you fainted? What happened? Let's go to the hospital now!"
As he said that, he raised his hand to touch An Xing's head, without any of his usual dignified and unapproachable demeanor in the company.
Everyone: ...
It’s confirmed, An Xing is Mr. An’s biological son, look how nervous he is.
An Xing leaned forward skillfully, rubbed his head against the dry and warm palm, and said weakly:
"It's just that the marketing plan was not well written. I stayed up late last night to revise it and didn't sleep well, so..."
An Zhaoming frowned and grasped the key point: "You have only been in the company for a week, and you are already writing a marketing plan?"
An Hao, who was standing at the side, clenched his fists and looked even uglier. He subconsciously took a step forward and wanted to say something, but he saw An Zhaoming had turned his head and looked at him. His eyes were deep, as if he could see through all his little thoughts at a glance.
An Zhaoming: "You can't write? It's also because your cousin didn't think it through. This job is not suitable for you now."
An Xing did not deny that he was not capable enough. From his previous life to now, he had never thought about taking charge of An Ning Jewelry. He knew how capable he was. But when they clearly expressed the same idea, An Hao just wanted to step on him to highlight himself. An's father objectively said that it was a dereliction of duty for a leader to assign tasks in this way.
The usually serious man now had a loving and doting look in his eyes. He rubbed An Xing's head and straightened his collar. The others in the room had already realized that no matter how useless Mr. An's son was in the rumors, in fact, Mr. An valued his son An Xing more than his "capable" nephew.
Since An Zhaoming had spoken, An Hao knew that he had to admit defeat today. His mind raced as he said:
"Uncle, this matter is indeed my fault. I thought that my cousin had been with you since he was a child, and he had been influenced by you. Writing a marketing plan should not be difficult for him. I didn't expect that..."
He looked at An Xing sincerely and said, "My cousin is not feeling well, so go home and rest quickly."
If everyone hadn't been in the infirmary and witnessed An Hao's performance from beginning to end, they would have really believed that he was a good brother who trusted and cared for his younger brother.
Seeing An Hao's pretentious look, An Xing, who had no intention of keeping the peace, lowered his eyes. He curled up in the quilt, looking like he was about to cry.
"Dad, I'd better not stay in the company anymore."
"I know my cousin thinks I'm stupid and don't know anything. I don't look like a child of the An family and I'm not worthy of working in the family company. I'm self-righteous and want to share some of the burden with my father... I'd better leave!"
An Hao who thought An Xing would go down the stairs:? ?
What the hell is wrong with this idiot today! Why are all his behaviors so unexpected!
An Hao's expression was distorted, An Zhaoming was silent, and An Xing shed tears sadly. But in the infirmary, the most embarrassed people were definitely not the three of them, but the other employees in the marketing department. After personally experiencing the Shura field in the boss's home, they really couldn't enjoy the melon!
Only Brother Yang, who had a good relationship with An Xing, said "eh" softly and spoke in the silence.
"An Xing, you are not suitable for working in the marketing department. You can go to the design department. Aren't you from the art department?"
The others "came to life" instantly.
"Arts Department? Isn't An Xing from the School of Economics and Management?"
Brother Yang said casually, "No, I remember An Xing told me that he was a sophomore in the art department, and he also showed me jewelry design drawings. Mr. An, please don't think I'm being nosy. I think that in our jewelry company, An Xing doesn't have to come to the marketing department for internship. Wouldn't it be more suitable for his major to go to the design department?"
An Xing lowered his head and twisted the corner of the quilt to prevent the smile on his face from showing. These words seemed to be excuses if they were said by him or his father, but they were much more useful when said by others. Brother Yang was really a wonderful person!
At first, he listened to other people's lies and not only did such a stupid thing as hiding his identity to get an internship at the company, but also abandoned his professional expertise and ran to do marketing, which he knew nothing about. Now he is almost crying because of his stupidity!
The second step to stop An Hao from stepping on you to get to the top: clarify the rumors. It’s not that I’m not as good as you, An Hao, it’s just that my expertise is not suitable for you.
An Zhaoming's eyes relaxed slightly and he rubbed An Xing's head.
"Did you hear me? When you were angry and wanted to join the marketing department, your dad tried to persuade you, but you didn't listen. Your colleagues all said that you are suitable for the design department. When you go to the design department, don't throw a tantrum like a child again!"
An Xing nodded obediently, not surprised by his father's words of trying to keep things peaceful.
In front of so many outsiders, An Hao was still a member of the An family. He could throw a tantrum, but his father would definitely punish him. An Xing didn't mind. He just didn't want An Hao to step on him to get to the top. As for the other accounts, they could be settled later.
An Zhaoming said so, no matter how unwilling An Hao was, he had no choice but to do this this time. Before leaving the room, he looked back at An Xing, his eyes slightly gloomy.
An Xing saw An Hao's gloomy expression and turned away with disinterest. He slapped An Hao in the face because he didn't want to be wronged, and because An Hao didn't treat him as a brother anyway, so why should he care about An Hao's face.
When there were only two people left in the room, An Zhaoming relaxed his expression and touched the little curly hair on An Xing's head again.
"Are you having a quarrel with your cousin?"
An Xing curled his lips. It would have been fine if he was a child, but An Hao got better and better at acting as he grew older, and he was one of the only two younger generations in the An family, so his father would definitely not think badly of him. But he knew the truth, and since he was not a child of the An family, it was not good for him to speak ill of An Hao openly.
He hesitated for a moment, pulled An Zhaoming's sleeve and asked:
"Will Dad hand over the company to him in the future?"
An Zhaoming was stunned.
An Xing was dejected: "It's all my fault that I'm too stupid. I really can't learn those things about business management."
Although not a biological child, An Xing felt that she was quite like her mother. They were both casual and liked art, so they were not suitable for business management. An Ning Jewelry was founded by An Zhaoming, so of course it would be best for An Xing to take over. But because An Xing was not suitable to be a manager, An Hao started to think about it.
Judging from An Hao's performance in his previous life, An Xing felt that regardless of whether the baby was taken away by mistake or not, An Hao had a great advantage in the company. If the baby was not taken away by mistake, his reputation would not be as good as An Hao's. If the baby was taken away by mistake, there would be an age difference. Even if the real young master entered An Ning Jewelry in the future, it would be difficult for him to compete with An Hao who started the business early.
An Ning Jewelry belongs to the An family, and An Xing has no desire for its ownership. But if there is a dispute in this regard in the future, An's father and mother will definitely be worried.
Even if it wasn't their child, An Xing didn't want to cause them trouble in the future.
The boy hung his head in dismay, and his curly hair seemed to wilt. An Zhaoming found it interesting and felt somewhat relieved, so he reached out and stroked his son's curly hair.
"Is this the reason why you have to come for internship?"
The man's voice was filled with laughter, and An Xing looked up stupidly.
"Don't think too much, kid. I can still do this job for another 20 years."
An Xing: “…I’m already twenty!”
"You are so childish." The dignified Mr. An smiled softly, "Even if you can't manage the company in the future, just find a professional manager to take care of it. It will just cost you less money."
"As for your cousin, with his current ability, he is still far from taking over the company. Even if he wants to take over the company in the future, it depends on whether he has the ability to do so."
An Xing didn't expect that his father was so open-minded, and he suddenly felt relieved.
He was only a sophomore, so he didn't have many things to worry about. One was the mistaken child, the An family's future care, and the situation of his biological parents. He had to take his time to deal with the mistaken child and find his biological parents. What was most pressing was the covetousness of his cousin An Hao for An Ning Jewelry.
Since his father had already made a plan, and if everything went well, the real young master could also help his father... An Xing relaxed.
Just as An Xing was about to smile, he saw his father give him a mischievous smile.
"At worst, let Tianchen take care of An Ning Jewelry in the future."
“…”
An Xing was stunned for a moment, and suddenly remembered the fourth thing he needed to worry about.
He also has an engagement with Lu Tianchen, who is four years older than him and grew up with him, and is now the head of the Lu family.
"dad!"
An Xing was furious.
"It's just a verbal engagement!"
A blush appeared on the boy's pale face and his spirits lifted. An Zhaoming breathed a sigh of relief and teased his son with greater ease.
"A verbal agreement also counts, and you didn't refuse."
The country has passed the same-sex marriage law, and An Xing discovered that he was male when he was a teenager. Therefore, more than half a month ago, when Lu Tianchen asked him if he was willing to get engaged, An Xing agreed because he thought that they grew up together and the Lu family was more prominent than the An family and would definitely not covet the An family's property.
As a result, after the verbal engagement and informing his parents, Lu Tianchen became like a pig's hoof and no one was seen for more than half a month.
An Xing was originally angry when his father teased him and thought of Lu Tianchen's stupid behavior. But he soon remembered that after the truth of the wrong birth in his previous life was exposed, many people who were close to him kept their distance from him before the matter was settled. Only Lu Tianchen stood firmly beside him and his attitude towards him remained the same as before, without any change.
Thinking about the fact that they would cancel the engagement when the truth came out, An Xing was no longer angry. But she still looked angry, and even reached out to pull the hair on the back of her father's head.
"Dad is laughing at me!"
"Don't tear your dad's baldness, little brat!"
An Xing snorted and skillfully changed the subject and acted coquettishly towards An's father.
"Then I'll go home first today. Dad, you still have a meeting to attend, so hurry up and get busy. Mom and I will be waiting for you at home."
Father An smiled even more happily.
Looking at the love in the man's eyes, An Xing felt a pang in her heart and her hands slowly retracted into the quilt.
In his hand, he held a few strands of An Zhaoming's hair.
