Xie Jinghu's assistant was devastated when he received a call from his boss during the Chinese New Year, asking him to check whether the news about the demolition of Hongqiao in Shanghai was accurate.
Are we still allowed to celebrate the New Year?
I'm just a salaried assistant, not a slave with a signed indenture!
Assistant Qi was complaining madly in his heart, but he was respectful in his words.
There's no way, Mr. Xie sounded unhappy... Maybe he suffered a loss at the hands of Mr. Xie again?
Assistant Qi forced himself to suppress such disrespectful thoughts and endured the unhappiness to inquire about the Hongqiao demolition.
Assistant Qi was unhappy when he received Xie Jinghu's call, and naturally others were also unhappy when they received Assistant Qi's call. After asking around, he found that the news about the demolition near Hongqiao Airport was only about 60% to 70% accurate.
Six or seven points is already a high degree of accuracy.
Assistant Qi was very cautious when answering Xie Jinghu. He did not directly say whether the news was accurate, but instead mentioned Xie Qian's movements on the piece of land near Hongqiao Airport:
"Mr. Xie, I've made inquiries. Mr. Xie's land has neither been expanded nor extended. The entire factory building wasn't even painted before the New Year!"
When ordinary people hear the news of the demolition, let alone if it is 60% or 70% accurate, even if it is only 30% or 40% credible, they would be willing to take a gamble. Those who have houses near Hongqiao Airport will rush to expand them, and those who don’t have houses will try to buy local properties.
If there is confirmation about the demolition, why doesn't Xie Qian take action?
In Assistant Qi's opinion, no one in the world would complain about having too much money!
Of course, Assistant Qi was just giving Xie Jinghu a reminder and would not make any judgments for him.
Xie Jinghu was also a little surprised.
There is no addition or expansion. Could it be that the news of demolition is a smokescreen deliberately released by that rebellious son?
What is the purpose?
The rebellious son always has ulterior motives when he does this!
When Xie Jinghu returned to the living room, the Xie family was sitting together watching the evening party. As soon as Xie Jinghu came in, the younger generations of the Xie family who were talking suddenly stopped talking. Xie Qian also lowered his head to play with his mobile phone, and seemed to be texting someone. Xie Jinghu looked at this face that looked very similar to himself but younger than himself, and he actually saw a bit of mystery in it.
After going to Chengdu, Xie Qian changed more and more, and Xie Jinghu could no longer understand him.
Just like Zou Weijun who went to Chengdu.
Xie Jinghu felt inexplicably irritated, but he quickly convinced himself: What's so unfathomable is just the young man pretending to be profound. No matter what this rebellious son wants to do, clues will be revealed over time!
Xie Jinghu picked up the coat at the door and said he had to go back first.
Old Mrs. Xie didn't like the family members being absent on New Year's Eve, a time when everyone was reunited. She muttered a few words: "Xie Qian rarely comes back to the capital. As a father, you should pay more attention to him. You are busy leaving on New Year's Eve. You should put your business aside. There is no end to making money!"
Xie Jinghu smiled and said a few perfunctory words, then left first.
Xie Jinghu thought that the Xie family would be unhappy without him, but in fact, as soon as he left, the atmosphere in the whole living room became much more relaxed.
After what Xie Jinghu did, Xie Qi and Xie Tang could no longer look their third uncle in the eye. Xie Yuping disliked him in every way, and Xie Er and Xie Si generally did not communicate with Xie Jinghu.
Old Mrs. Xie saw everything, and she felt like a huge stone was pressing on her heart during the New Year.
Can the Xie family really go back to the way it was before?
Mrs. Xie was no longer sure.
Xie Qian waited until Xie Jinghu left before putting down his phone.
Xie Qian didn't do anything just now. He just sent New Year greetings to his friends. It took him a little longer to edit the message from Wen Ying. Wen Ying replied almost instantly, which made Xie Qian feel even better!
Xie Jinghu must have taken the bait.
At this moment, I am afraid I am very anxious, not knowing whether I should give Jiaxin Film and Television to him?
This is not something that can be accomplished in a day or two. If you are too hasty, the fish will fall off the hook.
When Xie Qian was fishing calmly, Xie Jinghu left the hustle and bustle of the big family alone. The feeling of loss had just begun to invade Xie Jinghu when his phone rang. It was an international call.
The phone rang three times and then disconnected. This was a code. If it was inconvenient to talk, Xie Jinghu would not call back.
It was certainly convenient now. As soon as the call was connected, a cheerful girl's voice came from the other end:
"Happy New Year, Dad!"
The little daughter's voice was so carefree that it soothed Xie Jinghu's loss.
In addition to the little daughter, there is also the eldest son - that is the son who loves him more than Xie Qian. When Xie Jinghu first learned that his ex-girlfriend had secretly given birth to a son for him, he did not resist. He knew that the best way to deal with this matter was to tell Zou Weijun the truth. Zou Weijun probably would not accept the son born to his ex-girlfriend, but he would not be at odds with the child. If he paid to raise this son, Zou Weijun would never object!
A chance to confess.
For some unknown reason, Xie Jinghu didn't say anything.
Xie Jinghu chose to negotiate with his ex-girlfriend, and they ended up having sex. After having sex more often, she got pregnant again!
Xie Jinghu pulled himself out of his memories. The other end of the phone had been replaced by a lazy and charming female voice, with a deep worry in her tone:
"I was worried that it would be inconvenient for you to answer the phone at this time. Yueyue insisted on calling me and I couldn't stop her."
Xie Jinghu felt relieved: "If Yueyue missed me, there's nothing wrong with calling me. I should have spent more time with you guys... Don't worry, I'm not with anyone else, so it's convenient for us to talk."
That's even more worrying.
The woman on the other end of the phone asked curiously, "I remember the Xie family always have a big reunion on New Year's Eve. The Xie family members would sit together and watch the gala until after midnight. Why are you leaving so early this year?"
The Xie family’s big reunion on New Year’s Eve has been a habit for many years.
Everyone close to the Xie family knew about this habit, including the woman on the other end of the phone. Before she broke up with Xie Jinghu, Xie Jinghu even wanted to take her to the Xie family's New Year's Eve reunion and formally introduce the woman to the Xie family at the party.
Of course, the woman was unable to attend the New Year's Eve party that year. Something happened to the Zhuo family, and the woman left the country as quickly as possible, standing up Xie Jinghu.
This incident was once a pain in Xie Jinghu's heart, but when it was brought up again after a period of time, Xie Jinghu's anger faded and he felt more regretful.
If nothing happened that year, he would not have had the opportunity to meet Zou Weijun.
Will it have any impact if you don’t know Zou Weijun?
It doesn’t seem so.
Xie Jinghu felt that he might still go south to do business, but the timing of starting a business had changed, and the business fields he was involved in were different, so he didn't need his father-in-law, Professor Zou, to overcome technical difficulties!
Perhaps the worry in the woman's tone touched Xie Jinghu, and he couldn't help but mention what happened tonight.
His nephews and nieces' indifference to him, Xie Qian's disrespect, and his elder brother Xie Yuping's protection of Xie Qian.
"He's afraid I'll harm him. It was clearly Xie Qian's own idea to work in the film and television industry. I didn't force it on that rebellious son!"
The woman on the other end of the phone thought about it carefully and advised Xie Jinghu not to just be angry, but to help Xie Qian. "Teenage boys should enter the rebellious period. Normal families certainly can't spoil their children unconditionally, but we are different now... Jinghu, we are the ones who did something wrong. I will feel at ease if you give Xie Qian a little more."
