Xu Yillong was very surprised.
The overwhelming negative news disappeared in the blink of an eye.
He pondered over what had happened...and finally guessed that it was Wang Jin who intervened in the matter.
"My uncle Wang is such a good man. He cared so much about me and helped me to resolve the negative public opinion without waiting for me to ask for help. I must find some time to thank him..."
Xu Yilong sat behind the boss's desk and spoke proudly to Qu Xiuwen.
Invisibly, he was showing off how strong his background in Hanjiang Province was and that no one could hurt him in the slightest.
Qu Xiuwen firmly believed in Xu Yilong's words. He couldn't think of anyone who could calm public opinion in such a short time. It could only be Secretary Wang, the big brother in Hanjiang!
He breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "Now that Zhai Yuhan has realized how powerful you are, Brother Long, he will definitely back off and not dare to compete with us for the Shannan project. Why don't we strike while the iron is hot and talk to Secretary Qian Lingyun? Get the project as soon as possible to avoid any more trouble."
"Yes, you are right. Let's get the project done while Zhai Yuhan hasn't recovered yet to avoid any more complications!" Xu Yillong nodded calmly and began to think about what to say to Qian Lingyun in order to impress him.
At this moment, his cell phone suddenly rang.
I picked it up and saw that it was from Yanjing, a familiar landline number...
When he saw the incoming call number, Xu Yillong's pupils shrank sharply and a feeling of nervousness and fear surged in his heart, but he had to answer the call.
Because, it was his father Xu Yongchang who called.
He seemed to have anticipated that Xu Yongchang was going to tell him something on the phone...
He grabbed his hair in anguish, but finally answered the call.
"Hey... Dad..."
Xu Yongchang's stern voice came from the other end of the phone, "Humph! Do you still remember that you have a father like me?"
Xu Yilong smiled guiltily, "Dad, what are you talking about? I'm thinking about you all the time..."
Xu Yongchang said angrily, "Why are you thinking about me? Are you thinking about harming me? Harming our Xu family? You... you don't think about doing anything serious every day, but only think about crooked ways. Tell me, has your company evaded taxes? What illegal things have you done? You'd better get back to Yanjing as soon as possible. If you continue to ruin my reputation outside, I will break your legs!"
"Dad!" Xu Yillong was also a little angry. They hadn't seen each other for such a long time, and when they met he started blaming him without even asking what had happened or whether it was his fault!
Xu Yilong sighed helplessly, "Dad, you are the director of the tax bureau. Don't you know whether my company has evaded taxes? If you really can't figure it out, send someone to check and see if I, your son, have done anything to bring shame upon you!"
Xu Yillong spoke in a firm tone and his heart was clear.
Xu Yongchang also realized that he was too excited just now and forgot to ask about the situation clearly.
But the dignity of a father cannot be lost!
He continued in a stern voice, "Don't provoke me! I will really have someone investigate you. Don't let me find any problems. If I find any problems, even if you are my own son, I will still send you to jail myself! Also, I remind you that our Xu family is honest and upright. We don't engage in speculation or sneaky things. You are not allowed to win over and corrupt local officials by relying on your money! Otherwise, I will break your legs anyway!"
Xu Yillong held his forehead with one hand and gave a helpless smile... His father still broke his legs at every turn. Over the years, many of his legs had been broken... But his two legs were still safely on his body.
He knew that his father was strict in words, but he couldn't really do anything to him...
Although it was a scolding, the father and son had not been together for a long time. When Xu Yillong heard his father's long-lost scolding, he couldn't help but tear up.
He smiled tenderly and said, "Okay, okay, you can break as many legs as you like. I'll just say one thing, I'm from the Xu family, I won't do anything to bring disgrace to the family! Are you satisfied with what I've said?"
Hearing this, Xu Yongchang snorted coldly and stopped talking.
It can be seen that he also knew his son's character and knew that he would not do anything that would ruin the Xu family's reputation. He also wanted to talk to his son properly, but for some reason, he couldn't help scolding him as soon as he opened his mouth. He also felt a little guilty. He had been busy with work and lacked the company he deserved for his son, so the relationship between the two had always been tense and they quarreled whenever they met.
His tone softened a bit, and he sighed and said, "Take some time to go home and explain the matter between you and Xiaoxuan in front of the two elders. A real man, since you have married someone, you must take on the responsibilities of a husband. You must swallow the bitterness and endure the grievances! Okay, that's all I have to say. I will call your Uncle Wang and ask him to keep an eye on you to prevent you from doing anything wrong outside!"
After hanging up the phone, Xu Yilong breathed a sigh of relief...
Seeing him like this, Qu Xiuwen smiled and said, "A call from your old man? I said your old man is too strict! Look at my husband, he calls me every now and then to ask if I have enough money to spend, and never cares what I do outside... because he knows I won't do anything bad outside! No one knows a son better than his father. You, you just don't communicate enough with your old man!"
Xu Yilong waved his hands helplessly and said, "Every family has different situations. I can't get along with my father. Usually we have a quarrel after just three sentences... This is his unique style. I have to adapt to him. He never considers my feelings. Oh, I also want to sit down and talk with him calmly, so that he can understand that I am also wronged... Why is it that everything a woman does is right, and why is everything a man wants to do wrong? Why can a wife say that her husband is incompetent, but the husband is not allowed to say that the wife is a tigress?"
"You are talking about your sister-in-law, right?" Qu Xiuwen said with a smile, "She comes from a wealthy family, so it's normal for her to be a little arrogant. Besides, she is several years younger than you, so there's nothing wrong with you pampering her a little. As a man, it's all about the word 'difficult'! Caught between a rock and a hard place, caught between two sides, caught between a rock and a hard place...it all depends on how you deal with it."
Xu Yilong rolled his eyes at him and said with a smile, "As a single person, what qualifications do you have to judge us married people? When you get married, you will know what family matters are and what chaos is! The ancients were right, only villains and women are difficult to raise! I have seen through it..."
Qu Xiuwen didn't dare to agree, nor did he refute. Suddenly, his eyes rolled and he said half-jokingly, "Oh, by the way, why don't you call and invite your sister-in-law over? Take this opportunity to ease the relationship between you two. Maybe when she comes to Pingyang, you can completely tame her!"
Xu Yilong didn't understand what he meant and frowned, "Can she become a different person just by coming to Pingyang? Can she talk to me nicely? Can I subdue her? What are you thinking..."
Qu Xiuwen laughed, "Don't you think your sister-in-law is a tigress?... A tiger in troubled times is bullied by a dog! Hahaha..."
Xu Yilong finally reacted and scolded with a smile, "You are the dog..."
