Han Ming was startled by Dong Youfu's suddenly raised voice, and then looked at Dong Xiaolu, who also looked puzzled. She probably couldn't understand why her father, who had been perfectly fine, suddenly accused Han Ming of being audacious.
Dong Xiaolu was puzzled, so she asked her father on behalf of her boyfriend why he said that.
Dong Youfu's eyes widened, and he said angrily, "Hmph, this kid actually dared to keep such an important matter from me!"
Han Ming looked bewildered and stammered, "Uncle, I...I don't know what you're talking about."
Dong Youfu pointed at Han Ming and said loudly, "Don't play dumb! Did you make that decision on your own without consulting me about that project last time?"
Han Ming then realized what was happening and quickly explained, "Uncle, the situation was urgent at the time, and I didn't have time to report to you, but I assure you that my decisions were all for the good of the company."
Dong Youfu snorted: "For the good of the company? You think you're the only one who can make that decision? I've eaten more salt than you've eaten rice!"
Seeing the tense atmosphere, Dong Xiaolu quickly advised, "Dad, don't be angry, let Han Ming finish speaking first."
Dong Youfu sat down with a puff of puffed-out cheeks, his arms crossed over his chest.
Han Ming took a deep breath and explained the situation and his considerations to Dong Youfu in detail. Dong Youfu listened, his expression gradually softening.
“Even so, you should have told me in advance,” Dong Youfu said.
Han Ming nodded quickly: "Uncle, I was wrong this time. I will definitely be more careful in the future."
Dong Youfu glanced at him and said, "Alright, I'll let it go this time, but don't let it happen again!"
The storm has temporarily subsided, and Han Ming and Dong Xiaolu both breathe a sigh of relief.
However, after this incident, Han Ming's image in Dong Youfu's mind was somewhat diminished. Han Ming knew in his heart that he had to work harder to regain Dong Youfu's approval.
In the days that followed, Han Ming worked even harder. He left early and returned late every day, devoting himself entirely to the project and not overlooking a single detail. Dong Xiaolu saw this and felt deeply sorry for him.
"Han Ming, don't overwork yourself. Your health is important," Dong Xiaolu said with concern.
Han Ming smiled and said, "It's alright, I need to achieve something to show your dad."
Hard work pays off. Thanks to Han Ming's efforts, several of the company's important projects achieved great success, and the company's performance improved steadily. Although Dong Youfu didn't say anything, his opinion of Han Ming had already changed.
One day, Dong Youfu called Han Ming to his office.
"Han Ming, you've been doing a good job lately," Dong Youfu said.
Han Ming smiled modestly: "It's all thanks to your excellent guidance, Uncle."
Dong Youfu waved his hand: "Don't flatter me, this is all thanks to your own hard work. But don't be arrogant, there's still a long road ahead."
Han Ming nodded solemnly: "Uncle, I understand."
From then on, Dong Youfu trusted Han Ming more and more and began to entrust him with more important tasks. Han Ming did not disappoint Dong Youfu's expectations and always completed his tasks excellently.
As time went on, Han Ming's position in the company gradually became more secure. Meanwhile, his relationship with Dong Xiaolu deepened.
Just when everything was going well, the company encountered a crisis. A competitor maliciously attacked the company's products, causing damage to the company's reputation and a significant decrease in orders.
Han Ming and Dong Youfu led their team in a round-the-clock effort to find ways to deal with the crisis. Han Ming proposed a series of innovative solutions, and through everyone's hard work, the crisis was finally resolved, and the company returned to normal.
After this incident, Dong Youfu completely changed his opinion of Han Ming.
"Kid, you're good. I trust you with Xiaolu from now on," Dong Youfu said with a smile.
Han Ming and Dong Xiaolu smiled at each other, knowing that the future would be even brighter.
