Chapter 222 Tenderness

The whole journey was swift and swift, Yao Yuan finally arrived on time, picked up the oranges and ran home.

A courtyard house in the alley was Yao Yuan's home, but to be precise, it was his father-in-law's home.

Old Taishan Du Zhongfu, born and raised in Yanjing, lived a life of precarity in his rare years.

He has robbed and fought wars, sold small objects in the streets and alleys, and was criticized during the Great Revolution.

It is said that fifty knows the destiny, but the old man didn't believe it. At that age, Yuanda Company was established. After more than 20 years of development, it has made great efforts to develop its ambitions and become the large enterprise group it is today.

Du Zhongfu has two sons and a daughter under his knees.

The eldest son, Du Rushan, is now the deputy general manager of the Yuanda Group, with a man of less than 10,000 people, and his status is second only to the general manager Yao Yuan.

The second son Du Ruhai, an intellectual, has no position in the company, and he and his wife both teach in universities.

The youngest daughter, Du Ruyue, once helped her father conquer the world. At that time, she was a veritable strong woman and made great contributions to the company. But when his husband Yao Yuan joined the Broad Group, Ji Liu retired bravely and no longer held any position.

Just after the New Year, the courtyard is brightly lit with lanterns and festoons, creating a peaceful and warm scene.

Yao Yuan hurried into the house, wiped his forehead, and flattered: "Ma'am, the oranges are here!"

On the sofa, a woman with the same elegant demeanor was watching TV, she just glanced at Yao Yuan, and said, "You can really pretend that you're sweating after running for a few steps?"

Yao Yuan raised his thumb and said with a smile: "Madam is so smart, she can see through her husband's tricks at a glance!"

Du Ruyue curled her lips and stood up, twisting her waist, "Let's go, I'm waiting for you to eat!"

Yao Yuan stepped back and bowed to lift the curtain, "Come on, let's drive and eat!"

Walking through the stone path and arriving at the dining room of the main room, Du Rushan and Du Ruhai were already seated with their wives, chatting and laughing happily.

Yao Yuan came forward to say hello one by one, and the husband and wife sat down.

There are still four seats available, three on the main side and one on the outermost side.

After a while, a girl in a very festive red padded jacket with two ponytails walked in with the help of an old man.

The six people stood up at the same time, bowed to the old man, and shouted in unison: "Hello, father!"

The old man was Du Zhongfu. Although he was over seventy years old, he was blushing and energetic, and nodded slightly towards the children.

The girl in the red padded jacket coughed dryly twice, waved her big hand, and said with a sly smile, "Free from courtesy!"

Although she is dressed as a child, the girl is not a child. This girl is called Du Mengni, she is twenty-three years old, and she is the only daughter of Du Ruhai and his wife. Although he is young, he is not simple. He is already the deputy director of human resources department of Yuanda Group.

Du Zhongfu glared at his granddaughter, "No rules!"

Even though he was staring, the old man's eyes revealed an unconcealable pampering.

Du Mengni stuck out her tongue, helped her grandfather to sit down, and then sat beside the old man.

The nanny also sat down after serving the last soup.

The old man glanced at the empty seat on the right, and asked, "Du Fei went to the south?"

Du Rushan stood up politely and said, "Reporting to father, Du Fei flew to the south in the afternoon. This year is a particularly important year for Yuanda, so we have to plan ahead!"

Du Zhongfu nodded slightly in approval, "That's right, the prodigal son won't change his money back, just know how to work hard! Eat!"

With an order, everyone took their chopsticks, and there was no other sound except the sound of eating.

It's the Du family's rule not to talk about food.

Du Mengni just picked up some vegetables, looked around after eating early, resting her cheeks with her hands in a daze.

It is also a rule not to leave the meeting early.

The dinner was not over until Du Zhongfu put down his chopsticks.

Du Mengni hurriedly handed over the tissue in a fawning manner, and inadvertently winked at Grandpa.

Du Zhongfu frowned slightly, wiped his mouth and put down the tissue, and said, "Yao Yuan!"

Yao Yuan was a little surprised when he was called out of nowhere, he quickly stood up and replied, "Father!"

Du Zhongfu said: "Tomorrow's board meeting will be cancelled, and we will reopen at another day!"

Yao Yuan was shocked, the board of directors is not a trivial matter, the preparations have been made for a long time, how can it be canceled for no reason? And it didn't even give a reasonable reason.

In the five years since he took over, except for Du Mengni's breaking into the company, his father-in-law has never participated in the management of the company. Why did he do so suddenly?

He had doubts in his heart, but Yao Yuan was well aware of his father-in-law's temper, so he never asked anything.

"Yes! Father!" Yao Yuan said.

After sitting down again, Yao Yuan's eyes fell on Du Mengni, and the ghost girl looked calm and composed.

Yao Yuan glanced at him angrily, thinking to pretend that I don't know it's you? Only you have the ability to let the old man make a move.

Du Mengni frowned, showing an innocent and wronged expression.

After dinner, we went back to our houses.

Yao Yuan smoked a cigarette outside before going in, but he dared not go inside.

Du Ruyue turned off the TV, and said seriously: "Why did that girl Mengni postpone the board meeting?"

Yao Yuan smiled and said, "You can also see that she has messed up?"

Du Ruyue said: "Nonsense, the old man can't take care of those flowers and plants, how can he have time to take care of the company's affairs? I grew up watching that girl, and I knew it was her just by looking at her expression."

Yao Yuan thought for a while and said, "It should be that she hasn't made a decision yet!"

Although Du Mengni is the deputy director of the human resources department, she has an important identity that cannot be ignored. He is the granddaughter of the old chairman and the most beloved granddaughter of Du Zhongfu.

In the company, all the ministers have to listen to her. It can be said that she can calculate the personnel adjustment by herself. It's not a trivial matter to recruit a regional manager for no reason, to come in by air without any qualifications at a young age, and to take Du Fei's place.

Yao Yuan guessed it had something to do with it.

Du Ruyue said: "Actually, I don't blame her. You have done this very strangely, so it's inevitable that people will have some ideas. I still know Mengni's child, and she seems to be confused. She is the most sensible one. If it can be proved that Zhang Xiaobai is really capable, she will not object."

Yao Yuan said helplessly: "I showed her all of Zhang Xiaobai's information, can't I prove it? I have no relatives or reasons with that Zhang Xiaobai, and we just met by chance. Why did I do this? It's all for the sake of the company!"

"I'm not talking about Du Fei. He is really unusable. They are all relatives. Otherwise, how could I have the heart to let an outsider replace him? Hey! Even though he is the chairman, he still has to look at other people's faces!"

Yao Yuan was a little bit aggrieved, and it was rare for him to complain in front of Du Ruyue and feel dissatisfied.

In fact, Yao Yuan also knew that this matter was not just as simple as using one person, but involved the unity of the Du family. Once Du Fei was taken down, it was conceivable that this family would face another major conflict.

And the last time, it was Du Zhongfu who abdicated to choose his successor. At that time, Du Rushan felt that he had to be the one, but he lost to Yao Yuan in the end.

A harmonious family almost fell apart. In the end, Du Zhongfu held a family meeting and explained the reason in front of everyone.

Pointing to Du Rushan's nose, he said: "You are my own son, I have a tendency towards you, but even so, you still lost to Yao Yuan! You have three shortcomings: lack of overall view, lack of management ability, and lack of operation ability .How can I rest assured that the Yuanda Group will be handed over to you?"

Although the incident had ended five years ago, and it looked peaceful on the surface, Yao Yuan knew that the uncle had never forgotten that he was against him intentionally or unintentionally in the company.

If this happened again and his son was removed, the conflict between the two parties might become irreconcilable.

Although there are so many disadvantages, Yao Yuan still wants to do this, just because he is in this position, he is the chairman of Yuanda Group, so he has to be responsible for the company!

Public is public, private is like, Yao Yuan has always been clear about public and private, both for others and himself.

Yao Yuan suddenly let out a long sigh, thinking why bother? No matter how well the company develops, the Du family will definitely succeed in the end. As Liu Tieying said, they are also making wedding dresses for others.

Du Ruyue slowly moved her body over, resting her head on her husband's shoulder, holding his hand, and said softly: "Actually, it's all my fault that I didn't give birth to a child for you!"

A wife understands the heart of a husband!

If the two of them had a child, I'm afraid the situation would be different, and Yao Yuan would be more aggressive.

Du Ruyue couldn't bear children, so she went to all the major hospitals for this, but she still died without a cure. This matter has always been a thorn in her heart.

Knowing that Yao Yuan made a slip of the tongue, what did he say in a daze? Turning his head to poke his wife's face, he said with a smile, "Ma'am, why did you say that? Isn't it great that we live together forever? Do you know what the most romantic thing in this world is? "

Du Ruyue said: "Isn't it sung in the song? The most romantic thing is to grow old with you!"

Yao Yuan took his wife into his arms and said softly, "The most romantic thing is to call you from a wife to an old woman!"

The wife in her husband's arms, her eyes were moist and her voice was choked with sobs.

Iron bones also have tenderness, and iron men can also talk about love.

After marrying Yao Yuan and giving up her job for him, Du Ruyue never felt worthless, on the contrary, she always felt very happy.

Yao Yuan laughed suddenly, "Did you know that that idiot Peng Cheng is still single!"

Du Ruyue hit her husband's chest with her small fist, "As a buddy, are you so gloating?"

Yao Yuan said proudly: "Who told him to fight with me?"

The thoughts of both of them went back to the college days twenty years ago.

They were young back then!

It was great then!

...

...

Yao Yuan watched the starry sky outside and smoked.

Du Mengni changed into her sportswear and walked over with raised eyebrows, "Hello, Uncle!"

Yao Yuan looked at Du Mengni and said with a smile: "It's really getting more and more beautiful, be careful when you run at night and meet hooligans!"

Du Mengni curled her lips and said, "That's good, then he has seen and seen my aunt's taekwondo skills!"

Du Mengni suddenly said in a low voice: "Uncle, why are you so nice to that Zhang Xiaobai? Could he be your long-lost son?"

Before waiting for a reply, Du Mengni whistled and walked away with her hands behind her back.

The angry Yao Yuan couldn't express his anger.

...

...

In a city in the south, a well-dressed young man opened the door and saw a stunner in sexy pajamas lying on the bed, showing a greedy look, "Baby, you miss me so much!"

The woman stretched out her jade arm, hooked her fingers, and said coquettishly, "Young Master Du, come here!"
