Chapter 041: Higano Family (Part 2)
The headquarters of the Tono Group is located in the Tokyo economic zone. It is a 20-story building with a Tono Hospital next to it.
The other factories and laboratories are all in more remote cities. After all, land in Tokyo is very expensive, and no one would build a factory here, no matter how rich they are.
There is more than one Higashino Hospital. There are three in Tokyo alone, located in different locations, and there are also some in other major cities.
Dong Yexi stood at the bottom of the building and looked up, thinking: Won’t my brother feel dizzy on such a high floor?
As it turns out, Big Brother doesn't.
Because his office is not on the top floor.
When Fujizuka Tian pressed the tenth floor button in the elevator, Higashino Xi was thinking about taking him to the reception room. As soon as he got out of the elevator, he saw the words "Secretary's Office" and "President's Office".
They knocked on the door of the president's office under the curious gazes of the secretaries.
"Come in." The eldest brother's cold voice came from inside the door.
When I opened the door, I saw my brother sitting at his desk, looking at documents seriously.
Dong Yexi thought to himself: Brother, this pair of glasses really suits him.
Seeing his younger brother coming, Dong Yexu asked him to sit on the sofa, and then asked his secretary to bring him tea and snacks.
He said, "If you have nothing to do today, just wait here and we'll go back together in the evening."
Speaking of this, Dong Yexi couldn't help but ask: "I will definitely go back when the third brother's birthday comes. Why do you suddenly ask me to go back today?"
"It must be something the third brother said." Dong Yexu knew his brother's character very well, "otherwise, father wouldn't have thought of you for no reason."
At this time, Fujizuka Tian said, "I asked my father, and he said that the third young master seemed to tell the master that the second young master had a boyfriend." His father was the old housekeeper of the Tono family and had always taken care of Tono Hai. If the master was angry, he would definitely be the first to know the reason.
Dong Yexi was stunned. He met the inquiring eyes of his elder brother and Fujizuka Tian, and immediately defended himself, "I never said that!"
"I think so. If you want to say something, you should tell me first."
Hearing his brother's words, Dong Yexi asked uneasily: "Brother, what do you mean?"
"The guy I met at your house last time, wasn't that your boyfriend?" Dong Yexu asked, "Did I misunderstand?"
Dong Yexi's heart beat wildly a few times. He twisted his hips uncomfortably and said, "Not yet..."
Big Brother: “Oh?”
Fujitsuka Tian: "Hmm? Not yet?"
The expressions on their faces clearly said, "What's going on? You're not capable of taking action."
Higashino Xi: ...What do you two mean?
He coughed lightly and asked, "Big brother, won't you scold me?"
"Why? Just because you like men?" Dong Yexu smiled slightly and said, "People's sexual orientation is innate. Trying to force it will only make you more uncomfortable. Besides, no matter who you like, as long as you can be happy, big brother will support you."
"Brother..." Dong Yexi was so moved that tears welled up in his eyes. As expected of the person in charge of the medical group, his perspective was different.
"However, I will strongly oppose those who commit crimes," the eldest brother added.
Dong Yexi: "...I know! I won't fall in love with someone like that!"
The eldest brother nodded with satisfaction.
"Then, when we go back tonight, you have to help me." Dong Yexi touched his nose guiltily and said, "If I get kicked out of the house, I can only rely on you, big brother."
"Okay." Dong Yexu nodded, "But father probably won't kick you out."
Dong Yexi looked at him in confusion. Wasn't he, the second child, dispensable? It made sense for the old man to throw him out in a fit of rage, right?
The eldest brother explained, "The third son's birthday party is also his coming-of-age ceremony, and he's invited many political and business partners. So the media has been keeping a close eye on the Dongye family lately. If news breaks out that 'the second son of the Dongye family was kicked out,' where will he put his face?"
Dong Yexi suddenly realized. So the old man is very face-conscious!
He then asked, "But isn't this an internal matter of our family? As long as it's not spread out, who would know?"
The eldest brother smiled faintly: "That also requires everyone to be able to hold back." He leaned back in his chair, his arms folded across his chest, and said meaningfully, "Aunt Xia Jiang is not someone who can hold back her words."
Dong Yexi understood. It seemed that much of the news circulating outside the Dong Ye family was due to the third wife. As for her purpose, that was a matter of opinion.
At noon, Dong Yexi and his elder brother went to the cafeteria of Dongye Group. As a large group, the employee benefits must be good. There are many kinds of food to choose from in the cafeteria, and the prices are not expensive, and there is also a meal allowance.
Here, Dong Yexi actually ate authentic Chinese food.
It is much more authentic than those opened outside and with adjusted taste.
My brother said that the group has many international talents, and if the taste is not authentic, it may cause dissatisfaction among employees. Hiring a few international chefs is not expensive, and other employees can also change their taste.
When Dong Yexi heard this, he said seriously, "Can I come to work in the future?"
The eldest brother gave him a strange look and said, "What else? Do you want to work in another hospital?"
Dong Yexi suddenly remembered that he also had a backer. He laughed and said, "I'm just afraid of being gossiped about!"
"Don't worry." Dong Yexu wiped his mouth with a tissue and said, "If you, a student from a prestigious university, can't get into the group, then it will be difficult for the third brother to get in.
"The reason the third child hasn't come to work yet is, firstly, because he's still young; secondly, if he uses the backdoor, he'll definitely be talked about. At least someone needs to lead the way so he can come in openly.
"Just wait and see. When you graduate, Aunt Xia Jiang will definitely persuade your father to find a backdoor for you and prevent you from going through the formal recruitment process. She'll also try to spread the news throughout the entire group. So, you'll definitely be talked about."
Dong Yexi: ...Is this the struggle between wealthy families? He trembled just listening to it!
"But don't worry, you're different from the third brother. I know how capable you are. Aunt Xia Jiang thinks things are too simple." Dong Yexu laughed sarcastically, "What kind of fake school is the third brother's? How can he be compared with you?"
It was the first time Dong Yexi had heard his elder brother speak so sharply. He once again confirmed that in this family, he and his elder brother were the only ones from the same country.
In the afternoon, the eldest brother took a short break before going to meet with a partner, while Dong Yexi stayed in his office, drinking a drink, eating a small cake, and lying on the sofa playing games, looking very relaxed.
In the evening, his elder brother took him to eat French food. He said, "In order not to affect our appetite, let's eat outside."
The two of them finished their meal slowly and it was already past eight o'clock when they got home.
Fujitsuka Tian, who had returned early in the afternoon, quietly reminded him, "The master is in the study. He's been angry all afternoon and barely ate dinner."
Dong Yexu nodded, then took his brother to the old man's study.
As soon as he opened the door, a book flew towards him. Dong Yexu skillfully closed the door to block it. When he heard the sound of the book falling to the ground, he pushed the door open again.
"Why is Father angry?" he asked.
"What do you think? Do you still see me as your father? I told you to come back this morning, but you've delayed until now!" Dong Yehai said angrily, "Don't think that just because you're in charge of the group you're the head of the family! I'm still the chairman of the board and have the power to remove you!"
Dong Yexu said coldly, "We had an appointment this afternoon to discuss cooperation with Yoshino Group. This is the first time that Yoshinoya's fourth-generation heir has taken over a project, so I have to give him some face and meet him in person. How can I stand him up?"
When the old man heard this, his anger subsided a little.
Dong Yexi, still outside, was puzzled. From what the old man said, his anger had already shifted to his eldest brother? Did he really dislike his eldest brother? Wouldn't most people wake up laughing in their dreams if they had such an outstanding heir?
The next second, the firepower turned to him.
"Where's the second one? Get in here!"
Dong Yexi walked out silently from behind his eldest brother and called out respectfully, "Father."
"Do you still know that I am your father? You went out to study and didn't even come home! You even had an affair with a man! Do you still see me as your father?" Dong Yehai was so angry that he pounded the table.
Dong Yexi remained silent.
"No matter whether your relationship with that boy is real or not, you have to handle this matter for me immediately! I don't want to hear any bad rumors about the Tono family!" Tono Hai ordered.
Dong Yexi finally couldn't help it and sneered: "The gossip about the Dong Ye family is everywhere, and some even say worse things. I'm just child's play."
"How dare you talk to me like that!" The old man glared at her. "Do you still have me as your father?"
Higashino: ...Are you a parrot? You've said this three times! Elderly people who repeat themselves are at risk of developing Alzheimer's disease!
Seeing that Dong Yexi didn't say anything, the old man got angry and said, "If you don't break up with him, don't even think about me giving you a penny in the future!"
Dong Yexi: ...I haven't even gotten anyone yet! Who should I break up with?
At this time, the eldest brother suddenly said, "Father, have you forgotten that you haven't given your second brother any money since he was sixteen years old?"
The old man was stunned.
"My second brother wanted to study in Kyoto, but you disagreed. Aunt Xia Jiang also said that by the age of sixteen, she was already self-reliant and even earned her tuition by working part-time. In a fit of rage, you suspended my second brother's card," Dong Yexu said. "It's been six years now. Isn't it a little ridiculous for you to say that again?"
Dong Yexi lowered his head, and the two people present could not see his expression clearly.
The eldest brother thought he was very sad, touched his head with heartache, and said to the old man: "You can no longer control him with money."
In fact, Dong Yexi was also shocked. He didn't expect the original owner's family relationship to be so bad! He even refused to pay tuition!
After being bluntly exposed by the eldest son, the old man was no longer in the mood to teach his son a lesson. He was not yet so shameless as to be so shameless.
After leaving the study, Dong Yexi looked up at his elder brother and said gratefully, "Thank you, elder brother."
"You're welcome." Dong Yexu patted his shoulder. "Apart from anything else, I can still provide financial support, big brother."
He sent his brother to his room and said, "Your room is cleaned every day. Have a good rest tonight. Don't take father's words to heart."
Dong Yexi nodded: "I know. He can't hit me."
When the eldest brother heard this, his expression became a little sad again.
Dong Yexi quickly comforted him: "What I mean is, I have my big brother and that's enough!"
"Haha~" The eldest brother laughed out loud and jokingly said, "You don't want the person you like anymore?"
Dong Yexi was embarrassed and pushed his elder brother out of the door awkwardly: "You should also go to bed early!"
After closing the door, I could still hear my eldest brother's chuckle.
Dong Yexi felt even more embarrassed.
He hasn't even found anyone yet, and he's already coming out at home?!
No, he had to speed up! Otherwise, if the whole world thought they were a couple and he still hadn't caught her, wouldn't that be a joke?
