Chapter 134 Chapter 134
Chapter 134
Xie Qiping was talking on the phone with someone in the company. Ever since Xie Yuanzhi left, he seemed to have returned to the time when Yuanzhi was still a child.
Gan Xing was not stable at that time. He stayed in the company every day and made phone calls every day when he got home. He waited until Yuanzhi grew up a little.
And now, he lives this kind of life again, even worse than before. At that time, Gan Xing was generally on the rise, but now.
He always has a feeling that the building is about to collapse.
Xie Qiping hung up the phone and sighed.
He was about to call the branch office to check on the progress of the project there when he heard Yu Caiwei scream in the living room.
Xie Qiping frowned immediately.
Ever since Yu Caiwei was worried that Xie Pingyuan might not be able to come back, she has been startled frequently, which makes Xie Qiping a little upset.
It's already annoying enough at the company, and now he has to comfort Yu Caiwei when he gets home. Even if Xie Qiping is a saint, he wouldn't be able to handle it.
What's more, Xie Qiping has a really bad temper.
——Until he heard what Yu Caiwei was shouting.
"Yuanzhi is back!?"
Xie Qiping rushed into the living room in confusion, but he only saw Yu Caiwei pointing at the TV. On the TV, the old face of the President of Country A was smiling like a chrysanthemum and talking to the people of Feng Dynasty opposite.
The man from Feng Dynasty was so moved that he almost wiped his nose with the hand of the President of Country A.
The narration also introduces why these people came here and what kind of persecution they suffered.
Hundreds of acres of land were taken away, and tens of millions of family assets were taken away. In short, it was as tragic as it could be.
Unfortunately, Xie Qiping didn't buy it. When he heard this, he knew that the president's team was lying. He didn't even look at Yu Caiwei who was typing on her phone and asked directly.
"Where's Yuanzhi? Didn't you say Yuanzhi is back?"
Xie Qiping frowned and said.
Yu Caiwei bit her lower lip and said, "Don't worry, it was just shown on TV. I'll see if there are any clips on social media."
However, Yu Caiwei couldn't find it no matter how hard she tried. Finally, she had no choice but to click on the swipe button and see the previous clip.
Xie Qiping took the phone and took a look. The title and cover were extremely eye-catching.
The arrangements for the ceremony appeared clearly behind Xie Yuanzhi.
"Xie Yuanzhi returns to country A, but he actually dislikes the president?"
Xie Qiping originally thought it was some clickbait video, but what he didn't expect was that this video was actually true.
Perhaps due to the short time, the author simply edited the video twice, marked Xie Yuanzhi's movements, and submitted the video.
But this alone can make people see that Xie Yuanzhi does seem a little disgusted. However, some people are arguing under the video that maybe Xie Yuanzhi is too nervous. After all, he looked a little annoyed right after that?
Before he knew it, Xie Qiping had actually read it and said something to Yu Caiwei.
"...Yuanzhi must be disgusted. This child had mysophobia when he was young. He wouldn't let me hug him when I wanted to after drinking, but he let me hug you directly. He looked exactly the same as he does now."
Xie Qiping realized what he had said only after he finished speaking.
He was stunned for a moment, and it took him a long time to walk to the sofa and sit down.
Yu Caiwei looked at the man with a complicated expression, not understanding what he was thinking.
In the end, it was Yu Caiwei who spoke first.
"...Are we still going to look for Yuan Zhi?"
Xie Qiping looked at the current video of Xie Yuanzhi on his phone and wanted to give up looking for him.
But thinking about my current state...
Xie Qiping sighed and said, "Go find him. I'll call him later. If it doesn't work, go to Nanyuan."
Yu Caiwei opened her mouth and wanted to say that she would not look for Yuanzhi anymore, but in the end she couldn't say it.
This glamorous couple sat together in silence.
Maybe they regret it, maybe not.
Who knows.
*
A day later, Xie's parents showed up in Nanyuan as promised.
Xie Yuanzhi did not greet them on the phone, nor did he say where he had been during this period.
Xie Qiping, who was calling, didn't ask. In fact, he was flattered that Xie Yuanzhi was willing to answer the phone.
He also came to Nanyuan again.
This time they were not turned away but were directed to the director’s office.
This office has basically not changed much from two months ago, except that there is an additional Ana Shen sitting behind the desk, watching them covetously.
Even Xie Yuanzhi didn't seem to have changed much, still had that familiar appearance, but he was wearing a lot more jade jewelry.
Especially the jade earring on her ear, the smooth white jade swayed with Xie Yuanzhi's movements, extremely eye-catching.
"These are the defensive weapons they mentioned at the banquet, right?"
As Xie Qiping and Yu Caiwei thought about it, their eyes couldn't help but become a little hot, but then they suppressed their gazes.
But the status of the people in this conversation has dropped.
Xie Qiping no longer had the arrogance that he thought a father should have, and Yu Caiwei also put away the educational spirit that she thought a mother should have.
When they looked at Xie Yuanzhi who was sitting on the sofa, they looked at him as equals for the first time.
However, it was only then that Xie Qiping and Yu Caiwei realized that if they excluded the fact that Xie Yuanzhi was their son, Xie Yuanzhi's current status was actually similar to that of the Liu family before.
Although the Liu family only served as their followers, but...
Xie Yuanzhi is only 26 years old this year...
Xie Qiping thought with regret in his heart.
Yes, Xie Yuanzhi is only 26 years old this year, and he has already reached his current status, but they have always ignored each other.
But when he thought of this, he suddenly realized something.
He had only witnessed the horror of Tao Duoduo in the past two months, and before Xie Yuanzhi left, it seemed that no one around him had ever told him about Tao Duoduo.
In more than three years, even if he was blind and deaf, there would be people around him who told him about Taoduoduo's situation. Even if no one told him, he should be able to see it from various reports or interviews.
but……
He hadn't seen it in the previous three years.
Not to mention that he saw it, two months ago, he thought Taoduoduo was operating at a loss.
But what is the reality?
Xie Qiping's face suddenly looked a little unhappy, and after being confronted by Yu Caiwei at the side, he forced a smile.
"Mom and Dad, here we are."
The gentle young man with black hair and black eyes stood up and greeted Xie Qiping and Yu Caiwei with a smile. It sounded no different from before.
...But the young man's action of shaking hands with Xie Qiping and Yu Caiwei proved that he still treated them as guests.
But what position do Yu Caiwei and Xie Qiping have to criticize Xie Yuanzhi?
"Ah, here I come." Xie Qiping also responded awkwardly.
The family of three who were as close as a family four years ago, got along worse than strangers four years later and sat awkwardly on the sofa.
No one spoke for a moment and the atmosphere became awkward.
Xie Qiping had a thousand thoughts surging in his mind, and he had hundreds of questions to ask.
Did you make Tao Duoduo invisible at home? Did you deliberately argue with Xie Pingyuan about the new energy situation? Did you deliberately reveal the Jiang family situation to Xie Pingyuan, and then let Xie Pingyuan reveal it to you. Mom...
All kinds of questions surged in Xie Qiping's mind, but in the end, Xie Qiping only said one sentence: "It was you, your mother and I who were sorry for what happened on the Ocean Goddess."
After Xie Qiping said this, he suddenly felt a lot more relaxed.
What they did to Xie Yuanzhi before he left was indeed not what parents would do to their children.
but……
At that time, the Xie family was ready to move towards a new trend, but the benefits of new energy blinded them and made them ignore everything.
Including Xie Yuanzhi's feelings.
Yu Caiwei didn't even dare to have any doubts about Xie Yuanzhi's direct appointment to meet at the company. If Xie Qiping was the rice that weighed down the camel's back, then Yu Caiwei was the last straw that broke the camel's back.
Because of Xie Yuanzhi's kindness to the Jiang family, Yu Caiwei planned the banquet with the intention of humiliating Xie Yuanzhi.
In the past, Yu Caiwei could still argue that she didn’t mean it and was just too happy so she forgot about it.
But after Xie Yuanzhi caused a big fuss on the Ocean Goddess and Gan Xing's career was on the decline, she no longer had such thoughts.
Now she just wants to win back Xie Yuanzhi sincerely.
——At least it released the news that the two sides had reconciled.
Yu Caiwei thought about it and put on an apologetic smile. She was about to say something to Xie Yuanzhi, but the black-haired young man waved his hand, and the jade ornament on his ear swayed with his movement.
"Everything is in the past. There's no need to reminisce about the past. Mom and Dad, just tell us why you're here today."
The young man said this, still smiling, as if he didn't know how cold and harsh his words just were.
He still looks as gentle as before.
But it only looks like that.
Yu Caiwei was caught off guard by Xie Yuanzhi's move. She subconsciously wanted to scold Xie Yuanzhi and ask him where his manners had gone, but before she could say anything, Xie Qiping grabbed her.
Yu Caiwei finally regained consciousness, but the look she gave Xie Yuanzhi was strange.
Her Yuanzhi, her mother's Yuanzhi, had never spoken to her in such a tone.
Yu Caiwei looked at Xie Yuanzhi's distant expression and her eyes gradually filled with tears.
Xie Qiping did not waste time and directly told them their purpose for today.
Gan Xing is now facing a crisis, and people are starting to make trouble for various projects, but the current situation is not so bad. After all, Xie Qiping has not been in country A for nothing for so long.
…But the situation in the transportation industry is more fatal.
The transportation tycoon who had previously cooperated with Gan Xing went bankrupt because of the people on his cruise ship. Afterwards, the illegitimate children in his family fought over the property and there was no one to manage the company, which caused Gan Xing to lose a batch of important goods.
Xie Qiping knew that he had to terminate the contract with this company now, but he was unwilling to find other companies to provide transportation. Some even said explicitly that they were only making noises because of the previous contract.
This caused Gan Xing to suddenly feel a little difficult.
It's only been two months, so Gan Xing can still hold on, but it's almost New Year's Day, if these things are not resolved before the New Year...
Gan Xing may not be able to hold on.
Of course, this is also one of the reasons why Xie Qiping came here today.
He wanted to use the name of reconciliation with Xie Yuanzhi to temporarily avoid trouble in the business world.
"…So you want to reach a cooperation with Nanyuan Express?"
After listening to Xie Qiping's words, Xie Yuanzhi did not say whether he agreed or not, but spoke slowly.
Xie Qiping nodded, prepared to deal with Xie Yuanzhi's embarrassment.
——After all, Ana Shen behind him was rolling his eyes almost to the ceiling.
However……
"Sure, talk to the business department directly."
Xie Yuanzhi said this, but Ana Shen behind him almost jumped up, with an expression that said, "Brother, are you crazy?"
However, Xie Yuanzhi seemed not to see it - but he really couldn't see it, after all, it was behind him.
Xie Yuanzhi took a sip of tea and said, "Just talk to the salesperson directly. Normally, the price is what the customer wants."
After hearing this, Ana Shen started to jump up and down. Fortunately, there was a thick blanket on the ground. Only Xie Qiping and Yu Caiwei could see Ana Shen and the wolf jumping around in anger.
Xie Qiping looked at Xie Yuanzhi with some disbelief, but in the end he smiled widely and said, "Yuanzhi, Dad knows that you will still help Dad..."
He was about to say something touching, but Xie Yuanzhi raised his hand to stop him.
Xie Yuanzhi's eyelids drooped slightly, and his eyes looked a little cold as he said, "This is just business. I will avoid suspicion in the future. You can discuss this business with Nan Ye. He will give a fair price according to the market price. We are all doing business in the capital, so it will be convenient for both of us."
At the end of his speech, the young man bent his eyes and spoke gently.
——But these words directly put Xie Qiping in an awkward position.
Xie Qiping's eyes, which had been filled with emotion, suddenly became quiet as if a basin of cold water was poured on them.
Xie Qiping subconsciously began to get angry, but the words were on the tip of his tongue. Looking at the jade ornament on Xie Yuanzhi's ear, he closed his mouth again.
Xie Qiping took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his heart, and then asked Xie Yuanzhi: "Yuanzhi...what can Dad avoid suspicion of? Besides, Dad actually wanted to compensate you for what happened before..."
Xie Qiping was just about to say that Gan Xing would belong to Xie Yuanzhi in the future, so what was the point of dividing it so clearly now?
However, Xie Yuanzhi seemed to realize what Xie Qiping wanted to say. He immediately stood up and seemed to have lost his patience and wanted to leave.
At this time, Yu Caiwei finally couldn't control her temper, and looked at Xie Yuanzhi and couldn't help asking.
"Yuanzhi! Mom and Dad just made a mistake, aren't we compensating you now? Do you really have to be so heartless!"
Xie Yuanzhi didn't react when he heard this, but Shen Nanye took the lead in speaking.
"Huh? Made a mistake?" The young man with a wild look in his eyes said bluntly.
"You are here purely because Xie Pingyuan is in prison and it seems he won't be able to get out in this lifetime. You want Brother to go back to be a laborer, right? Don't think I don't know about Xie Pingyuan. Don't tell anyone now. We don't know what was found on him, but he was sent away as a guinea pig!"
"You're here to look for my senior brother now? You've offended someone so much and now you're here. How dare you do that?"
Ana Shen gritted his teeth and said.
"Besides, the Ocean Goddess originally belonged to my senior brother, right? You gave your own child to me, and you asked my senior brother to attend the banquet without even giving him a standing seat. My senior brother is like an outsider. Is this just a small matter?"
Ana Shen’s angry voice echoed in the office: “And the reason is just that my senior brother helped his biological parents? Xie Pingyuan is like a licking dog, not even wanting his adoptive father and mother, and when he was chasing you to lick you, how could you get angry at that time, Ms. Yu!”
Yu Caiwei's face suddenly turned pale.
And Ana Shen continued to output.
"You guys picked the topic for the competition. New energy. My senior brother has never been involved in this field before. He has to compete with Xie Pingyuan, who has been working on this project for two years, in just half a year! Think about it, is this really fair?"
Shen Nanye said this and took a deep breath to barely calm down and said: “You were willing to bet on Xie Pingyuan and gave up my senior brother. At that time, my senior brother said something to me.”
"He is willing to accept the loss."
Ana Shen said, looking at the couple in front of him with the eyes of a little wolf cub.
"So now, what about you guys!"
*
Xie Qiping and Yu Caiwei froze in place. They wanted to say something but when they opened their mouths, they didn't know what to say.
Xie Qiping really wanted to find one or two questions from the complicated issues in his mind that would not hurt the relationship but would bring benefits.
Unfortunately, he couldn't find it for the time being.
They did really great before.
It was not until now that Xie Qiping realized how ruthless they had been before.
Just as Xie Qiping was reflecting on himself, Yu Caiwei couldn't help it.
I would like to remind you that Yu Caiwei is in her fifties and her hormone secretion is already unstable. Generally, family members will take care of her during this special period.
But now there is no such condition. Xie Qiping himself is not a gentle person. Yu Caiwei herself knows the current problems of the company. However, now something like this has happened again...
Yu Caiwei couldn't suppress her temper and said, "What does our Xie family's affairs have to do with you! Yuanzhi, how could you have such an uneducated junior brother!"
As soon as she said this, Xie Qiping knew that something was wrong. Everyone knew that what Xie Yuanzhi cared about most now was his junior brother, and similarly, the one he valued the most was also his junior brother.
——Shen Nanye went from an ordinary genius boy to the chairman of Nanyuan. It is hard to say that Xie Yuanzhi did not have a hand in this.
After Xie Yuanzhi came back, according to gossip, Xie Yuanzhi directly gave his junior brother two jade tokens.
It’s the kind of jade token that can provide defense!
From this we can see how important this junior brother is in Xie Yuanzhi's heart.
——Especially after he and Yu Caiwei, the two parents, hurt Xie Yuanzhi.
Thinking of this, Xie Qiping immediately said, "Yuanzhi, don't worry about it. Your mother has been in a bad mood recently, you know. She doesn't mean what she says..."
However, when Xie Qiping was halfway through his words, Xie Yuanzhi reached out his hand again to stop him from speaking.
The young man, who had walked in from the place where he had hurt his adoptive parents, with a smile on his face, put away the smile for the first time.
He walked back expressionlessly, but without even glancing at Yu Caiwei, he walked straight past them and in front of Ana Shen before turning around to face Xie Qiping.
——Then he stretched out his hand to protect Ana Shen.
"Nan Ye is my junior, and he was the only person around me who supported me at that time."
Xie Yuanzhi put away the expression on his face. Although his face was still handsome, it made people feel a little scary for no reason.
"So mom, please stop insulting my friends and being like the uneducated people you are talking about."
Xie Yuanzhi raised his lip corners when he said this: "Oh no, at least those so-called uneducated people would not be like control freak kidnappers who trap a young child at home until he turns 18 to go to college."
These words made Ana Shen immediately hold Xie Yuanzhi’s arm in shock.
"Dad, I didn't know something until I was eighteen years old." The young man's eyes were fixed on Yu Caiwei, but he was talking to Xie Qiping.
"It turns out that children from normal families don't need to bring their mothers when they go to their friends' houses to play."
Xie Qiping looked at Yu Caiwei in shock, who seemed a little guilty.
If the children in their circle have bodyguards to pick them up for normal social activities, they actually don't need to be picked up by their parents. Some children in their circle don't even know what it feels like to be picked up by their parents.
but……
"Yu Caiwei... Is this how you treated Yuan Zhi back then?! How could you bear to do that?"
Xie Qiping growled at Yu Caiwei angrily. Although he knew Yu Caiwei's desire to control Xie Yuanzhi, he really didn't expect it to be so serious!
He said his business wasn’t going very well during that time!
"Mr. Xie, there's no need to pretend to be angry. Did you really not notice what happened back then? Or do you simply not care?"
Xie Yuanzhi's cold voice rang out, leaving Xie Qiping stunned on the spot.
Yeah, did he really not realize that anything was wrong at all back then?
The office suddenly fell into silence.
After a long while, Xie Qiping looked at the indifferent Xie Yuanzhi and said, "...So, this is why you made this plan four years ago?"
Xie Qiping couldn't help but tell all his previous guesses about Tao Duoduo. At the end, even Yu Caiwei couldn't help but reveal a shocked expression.
"You know very well that if you had exposed Tao Duoduo earlier, we would never have ignored you, but..."
Xie Qiping stopped talking when he said this, with a look of deep sorrow in his eyes.
Yu Caiwei on the side also looked at Xie Yuanzhi with tears in her eyes.
Shen Nanye was about to speak, but Xie Yuanzhi stopped him.
The young man looked at Xie Qiping, his eyes that were originally full of warmth now filled with indifference as he said, "But the way things have come to this point is all your own choice. I just concealed some things."
Xie Qiping and Yu Caiwei's breathing suddenly stopped.
Xie Qiping wanted to say that everything that was happening now was caused by Xie Yuanzhi, but looking at Xie Yuanzhi, who was indifferent but had red eyes without knowing when...
Xie Qiping's throat seemed to be blocked and he couldn't speak at all.
After a long while, Xie Qiping asked softly.
"Are you really Yuan Zhi?"
Xie Yuanzhi turned around and said after a long moment.
"I'd like to think not."
*
The Xie couple left in disgrace.
The moment they closed the door, Xie Yuanzhi and Shen Nanye fell onto the sofa at the same time.
[Host, the emotion points I just harvested were great! Although the quantity is not as good as it could be, the quality is really good! ]
777 said cheerfully, looking at the host's mood value with satisfaction.
——Then in the next second, these emotional values were taken away by the host and used to build the merit system of the fairy world and the Cthulhu system of the interstellar.
Obviously, those emotional values are not his own, but 777 still feels heartbroken when he looks at them.
It quickly changed the subject and said, "Host, you have said so much today that Xie Qiping and the others will not come, right?"
The Xie couple are now high-quality leeks.
While Gu Youxing was shopping in the system store, he said to 777: [Don’t underestimate the shamelessness of merchants.]
[Yeah, their shamelessness is really hard to tell.] 777 muttered, and then recalled the host's red eyes before, and asked with a bit of gossip.
[Host, you just said it with such sincerity, do you have some feelings for the Xie family? After all, your eyes were red. What trap are you setting for me later, host? ]
777 was halfway through his words when he realized that his host was not such a sentimental person, so he stopped talking and asked.
[It's not really a burial pit, at most it's waste recycling, and this is the key point now. ]
Gu Youxing, whose eyes were red just now, raised his cell phone and said.
[After hearing Li's news, those little fools in the cultivation world handed over their secrets to Gao Wenjun. ]
*
"…So you taught Mr. Gao the Heart Method without him taking the Heart Demon Vow?"
The gentle young man stood expressionlessly in the middle of the presidential suite, looking at the indifferent monks across from him and said.
The momentum is amazing.
"It's just a basic mental method. It's everywhere in our place. Mortals are just stingy..." a junior brother muttered in a low voice.
Then the young man showed them how stingy mortals could be.
He directly took out a jade token, activated it with a spirit stone, and said a few words to the other side. Then the voice belonging to Pavilion Master Han was replaced by someone else.
——He was replaced by the master who talked back to his junior fellow apprentice.
The next second, the powerful roar of this great god-transforming being resounded throughout the entire suite.
"Old Nine, you have a pig brain--!"
