Assistant Lin: "Please don't ask, thank you."
The father looked embarrassed, but still managed a smile. "Isn't this the child I took back as a child? He's my biological son who was abducted when he was little. After I brought him back, he refused to change his name."
Xiang's father spoke without any qualms, but he didn't mention what a terrible name they had given Lin Hu back then, Xiang Siyang, did he want to die?
The name was suggested to Xi Yu at the time, and they really mastered the use of puns.
"So that's how it is. This must be your eldest son, he's dressed quite well." Duan Linzhou looked at Xiang Xiyu, who came over with Xiang's father.
The implication is clear: he's not good-looking, but he's dressed better than the real person.
Only Xiang Xiyu understood; the original desire to curry favor with him vanished, replaced by scheming.
Mr. Xiang seemed not to understand, and with a smile, he pulled Xiang Xiyu aside to introduce her, "Yes, Xiaoyu, come and say hello to President Duan."
Xiang Xiyu could sense that Duan Linzhou disliked him, but since his father had spoken, he could only bite the bullet and step forward, "Hello, Mr. Duan, my name is Xiang Xiyu."
Duan Linzhou glanced at it briefly, then turned to Lin Hu and asked, "Are we leaving?"
This completely disregarding attitude, in stark contrast to her affectionate and caring attitude towards Lin Hu, made Xiang Xiyu very unhappy.
Ugh, you dead gay! Disgusting!
Lin Hu was unaware of Xiang Xiyu's inner thoughts; otherwise, he would have done something to really annoy him.
After Lin Hu nodded, Duan Linzhou pretended to be apologetic and said to Mr. Xiang, "Mr. Xiang, I'll take him to my place for a few days. You don't mind, do you?"
Although it was an inquiry, Duan Linzhou was certain that his father wouldn't dare to stop him; businessmen valued appearances above all else.
Even if someone steals your project, you still have to put on a show in business.
The smile on Xiang's father's face was almost impossible to maintain; he gave a dry laugh and said, "Of course."
He turned to Lin Hu and, with the worried look of an old father, gave him a few more words of advice.
Lin Hu and Duan Linzhou got into the back seat. Lin Hu rolled down the car window and said to the Xiang family father and son with a forced smile, "Xiang Xiyu, you'd better do a good job on that project on the Dongjiang land. Don't let down the path I've paved for you. Right, Father?"
The land was originally intended to be used to build a resort, a project that Lin Hu was handling when he was in a coma after the car accident.
He just checked on his tablet upstairs and found out that after he fell into a coma, Xiang Xiyu asked his father for the project. Lin Hu had been working day and night, pulling several all-nighters before he could start implementing it, but now he was run over by someone hired by Xiang Xiyu and ended up in the hospital.
He could have been transferred from the branch office to the head office through this project, but he didn't expect Xiang Xiyu to feel threatened, which led to what happened later.
Lin Hu wasn't worried about Xiang Xiyu snatching the project away; he, an incompetent spoiled brat, couldn't possibly handle that piece of the pie.
Even if he finds someone to act as his agent, Lin Hu will not allow him to carry it out smoothly.
Neither of them spoke, stunned by Lin Hu's strange change.
A car slowly drove away, and only then did Xiang's father realize that Lin Hu had just threatened him.
It's outrageous for a son to threaten his father!
Xiang's father looked at Xiang Xiyu with displeasure, "How is the project progressing?"
Xiang Xiyu shuddered, his previously arrogant attitude softening instantly, and whispered, "It's already started, but..."
"But what? For the past five months, every time I ask you how the project is going, you always give me all sorts of excuses." Mr. Xiang was also a little angry, but when facing his son whom he had spoiled since childhood, his tough tone softened a bit.
"The cooperation that was originally agreed upon with Xizhi Greening Company has been delayed ever since they heard that you handed over the East Suburbs project to me."
Xiang Xiyu knew that the boss of Xizhi Greening had some connections with Lin Hu, which was why the boss was always away from the company when he was busy preparing everything and getting ready to sign the contract.
Xiang Xiyu is saying this now because he is waiting for his father to make the decision so that he can talk to Xizhi Greening.
Xiang's father glanced at him, regaining his usual calm demeanor. "Alright, let's put this matter aside for now. Tomorrow, take some gifts to Beijing to visit your brother, and while you're at it, please give my regards to President Duan."
Xiang Xiyu was somewhat surprised and told him to go look at that gay couple!
To put it nicely, it was to visit her younger brother; to put it bluntly, it was to curry favor with Duan Linzhou.
In this family, apart from the two blind parents, everyone could see that they didn't get along. Only the father could talk about family affection all the time, but in this family, family affection was the thing he was most likely to abandon.
“Dad, isn’t that a bad idea? They just left, and I’m already chasing after them to Beijing to give them gifts…” As Xiang Xiyu spoke, he also paid attention to his father’s expression, noticing that the latter’s expression was slightly impatient and his voice had weakened.
Xiang's father sighed softly and gently advised, "We didn't even entertain President Duan when he came today. It's our fault for not being hospitable enough. When you go over, please apologize. You young people have more in common, so it's more appropriate for you to go than for an elder like me."
Xiang Xiyu rolled her eyes inwardly: Now you're calling yourself an elder, but when you were here just now, you were acting like an old man, trying to please him.
Xiang Xiyu didn't show it on his face, but he didn't dare to say anything more, since he could temporarily avoid dealing with the messy affairs of that piece of land in the eastern suburbs.
"Okay, Dad, I'll go prepare now."
...
"Why such a big entourage? Did you drive here?" Lin Hu leaned against Duan Linzhou in the back seat, his voice lazy and casual.
The driver in front kept his eyes on the road, ignoring the two people.
"It's rented," Duan Linzhou said.
As soon as he got off the plane, he went to a security company to rent a car and security guards; he wouldn't have been able to drive so fast if he had.
But his mind was on Lin Hu, and he reached out and circled Lin Hu's wrist with his thumb and forefinger.
