To escape control, he applied to study abroad, taking charge of Xu's overseas business, under the pretext of honing his abilities. Abroad, out of Xu Guanshan's sight, he experienced freedom, like a caged bird finally free. The sky was vast, and he could go wherever he pleased.
He no longer wanted to live under Xu Guanshan's control, so he found various reasons not to go back.
Xu Guanshan had a cold war with him for a long time because of this, until he discovered the talent of his younger son. He then fulfilled his eldest son's wish and let him live freely abroad. He focused on training Xu Yanfeng and kept him by his side.
Xu Guanshan thought that there was still a long time to go and it was still unclear who would be the heir in the future, so he just had to wait and see.
As he grew older, Xu Junmo mentioned many times that he was an absolute bachelor and would never get married or have children in his life, which completely dispelled Xu Guanshan's idea of choosing an heir from among his two sons - the heir to the Xu Group would only be Xu Yanfeng.
Xu Guanshan was also afraid of repeating the same mistakes, so he was relaxed in his discipline of Xu Yanfeng. He was strict with him but not overly restrictive, giving him his own space.
This is a little freedom that Xu Junmo bought for his younger brother through his own experience. It’s not much, but it’s better than nothing.
The prerequisite is that Xu Yanfeng must be within the framework set by Xu Guanshan. Once he goes off track, jumps out, and does something extraordinary, Xu Guanshan will not let it go, but will get him back on track at all costs.
Xu Yanfeng smiled and agreed with his brother who suddenly began to reflect on himself: "You just realized it." He had no right to choose and could only passively bear it. Fortunately, he could bear it.
Xu Yanfeng raised his wrist and tapped the dial with his fingertips, reminding him again: "Is the meeting still going to start?" The sooner it ends, the sooner he can meet Xia Xi. He is eager to know what she wants to say to him.
To be honest, he was a little uneasy about her recent cold attitude.
Xu Junmo raised his hands in surrender: "Open, open, open. Wait for me to bring someone in."

Xia Xi drew a few strokes on the drawing. When the phone rang, she immediately picked up the phone and put it to her ear: "Are you done? So fast!"
"Excuse me, is this Miss Xia Xi?" A completely unfamiliar male voice came from the receiver. He was polite, well-educated, and sounded like a middle-aged man.
Xia Xi's expression froze, and she held her phone up to her face, only to realize it wasn't Xu Yanfeng calling. She had been so anxious that she hadn't even seen the caller ID before answering.
"Ah...it's me." Xia Xi asked in a tone of voice half suspicious and half cautious, "Excuse me, who are you?"
She couldn't lose her vigilance just because the other party was polite.
The middle-aged man on the phone said gently, "Can you tell me where you are? I'll pick you up."
Xia Xi was puzzled, even amused and confused, and didn't even use the honorific. "You haven't told me who you are yet, why should I see you? This is very strange."
