Old Lady Xia shook her head. "I've been listening to Director Song recently. Every outcome has its own essence. I didn't come here today to scold you or lecture you. I'm just reflecting on whether my past actions have led to you children being in this state."
Chen Xiangnan frowned, glanced away, and said coldly, "Mom, what's the point of you saying this now? We are not children anymore. We know what to do. You can't change anything now even if you become a leader.
Throughout our lives, you were the opinionless one. Besides taking care of our food, clothing, shelter, and transportation, you taught us nothing. We kids gradually figured out the rules of the world and the rules of the house on our own. Now you're telling me you've reflected on this, but what's the point?
Mom, your purpose now is to do what you think is meaningful, instead of wasting your time on us."
Old Lady Xia closed her eyes and whispered, "I'm doing something meaningful right now. I've failed as a mother to raise you to be positive, independent, strong, and full of life. If you don't want to hear it, then I won't say it. But Lingling and Jiaojiao's unborn child, don't make the same mistake I did. They shouldn't inherit our mistakes."
Seeing that Chen Xiangnan didn't want to talk, Mrs. Xia hesitated for a moment, turned around and pulled the door handle to leave, but before she opened it, she heard Chen Xiangnan say, "Mom, I won't go out to play anymore, and I don't blame you.
"Mom, you haven't received the love from the previous generation. There's something missing in your heart, so it's normal that you can't teach your children. As for Lingling and the others, I will follow Tang Jiao and work hard to learn to be a good father."
Director Song was followed by a small henchman. When he greeted the factory workers, Chen Xiangbei would follow suit. When he went to the cafeteria to eat, Chen Xiangbei would grab his lunch box and serve him food. When he was in the office, he would sit quietly there, waiting for his instructions. When he went home... Chen Xiangbei would try to follow him home.
"Get out of here! Why do you follow me wherever I go? Do you have to pass me paper when I go to the restroom?" Director Song scolded him without knowing how to continue. Chen Xiangbei did nothing wrong. He just wanted to show off too much.
As a qualified factory manager, you must never undermine the self-confidence of your workers when they want to perform. Otherwise, who would want to make progress in the future?
But this time, Director Song really couldn't help it. Chen Xiangbei had followed him home for three consecutive days. Not only did he call him "wife" and "master's wife" at home, but he also made him very happy. He threw him aside and only cared about making delicious food for this kid.
If he doesn't stop it, his wife will get a room for this guy to live in. This guy is so shameless.
Chen Xiangbei was yelled at and still felt aggrieved. "Director, what are you doing? If you want me to go into the bathroom and pass you paper, I can do it. I'll just put it on my schedule. Why are you so angry?"
What a guy! He didn't say it before. He should have just told me directly what the task was. Chen Xiangbei understands the principle of doing things properly when you get paid. Is it necessary for him to yell at him like that?
Director Song: "...You, you are being unreasonable. Is that what I mean?"
Chen Xiangbei panicked: "What do you mean, Director? You're not going to give up on me, are you? What's wrong with what I'm doing?"
Director Song tried to calm his temper. "Besides work, you don't have to do anything else. Xiao Chen, I understand this is your first time on the job, but I'm telling you straight away, you only need to complete the tasks I assign to you during working hours. You don't need to follow me after work, okay?"
Chen Xiangbei nodded.
Director Song was pleased, thinking that the boy was teachable.
He turned and walked away, and soon he saw Chen Xiangbei still following him, "Xiao Chen, why are you still following me?"
Chen Xiangbei chuckled, "Director Song, it's not working hours now, I don't need to listen to you. So, I'm going to your house to see my master's wife. She said she would cook pork ribs for me today."
Director Song was furious: "I told you not to follow me!"
Chen Xiangbei: "I'm not following you. It's just my relationship with my master's wife. It has nothing to do with you, hehe."
Director Song spoke for a long time, but it was completely useless to the boy. After returning home, he was even reported by the boy and was forced by his wife to sleep with his son in the middle of the night.
It's simply unreasonable!
The next day, Director Song found Old Mrs. Xia and complained to her about Chen Xiangbei's evil deeds that had happened all morning.
He had never seen a child who was so good at taking advantage of others and was so sweet-mouthed. His wife, his mother, and the neighbors near his house all said that he was a likable child when they saw him, and they would ask him from time to time if he wanted to go to their house for dinner.
It was outrageous, absolutely outrageous. He was only Chen Xiangbei's leader, his master, not his father. Shouldn't he just teach him how to work? How could he have taken over the whole family in the blink of an eye?
But when Chen Xiangbei heard this complaint, he couldn't even curse at the boy because he said once a teacher is always a father and he respected him as his own father.
After Director Song finished speaking, Old Lady Xia laughed at him, "Who said that they would give me a good child with a good family background?"
Director Song was finally defeated by his own reckless boasting.
But he had one good point, which was his unwillingness to admit defeat. When he returned to his office, he finally began to take Chen Xiangbei seriously and wrote two large sheets of paper before he worked out a plan to train Chen Xiangbei.
The road ahead is long and arduous, but the rewards will surely be significant.
A few days later, Chen Xiangdong saw that Yang Su had actually started to take odd jobs home to do, and Wang Xian followed behind her, carrying a large bag of materials for her. She looked several years older than before.
Thinking of Chen Xiangbei saying that his father had not been home for a long time and that he didn't want his home or his wife anymore, Chen Xiangdong felt a little...cold in his heart.
After hearing what he said, Zhu Wenying saw Old Chen more clearly than he did. "Your father is just that kind of person. He has no sense of responsibility and no sense of duty. He only wants to enjoy the efforts of his wives after marrying them. Once they resist, he doesn't want to manage the family anymore. He was like this with your mother before, and now he is like this with Yang Su."
Chen Xiangdong didn't understand, "But I divorced my mother because she insisted on it."
Zhu Wenying folded clothes. "Then why does your mother insist on getting a divorce? If it's simply because the children are unfilial, she could just kick them all out. Just like the two of us, out of sight, out of mind. It's so comfortable just getting a salary. It's because your father disgusts her. He's always trying to smooth things over or pretending to be nice. He's hypocritical. To a woman, he's as scary as a wife-beater."
Chen Xiangdong couldn't understand, but he just accepted whatever Zhu Wenying said. No matter what his father was like, he would never divorce her in his life anyway.
