Siheyuan: I am the God of Cooking, and all the birds are crying with envy!

In June 1986, the sun was scorching in Beijing, and the city was bustling with traffic.

Looking back in time, after returning to this city from the Red Flag Brigade, in just five or six years, He Yuzhu had already become a well-known figure in Beijing.

His successful development in the real estate sector was like a blockbuster bomb, which not only made him famous in the business circle, but also attracted a flood of infrastructure orders from Beijing, which came like a tide and pushed his career to a new peak.

China Real Estate, co-founded by He Yuzhu and Lou Xiaoe, has now grown to a considerable size in Beijing. High-rise buildings have sprung up there, becoming a new landmark of urban development.

He Yuzhu and his family moved into the most prosperous area in the city center early on, with all the surrounding supporting facilities.

There are schools, supermarkets, hypermarkets, entertainment venues and everything else. This is undoubtedly one of the most luxurious and prosperous areas in Beijing. Every inch of the air seems to be filled with the scent of success and abundance.

Xu Xinyue, the angel in white who used to be busy in the hospital, quit her job a long time ago and became a full-time housewife at home in order to better take care of her family.

Their twin children, Chen Bao and Ying Bao, have also grown into sophomores in high school as time goes by. The youthful vitality exudes from them, like the rising sun, full of infinite possibilities.

After graduating from university, He Yushui naturally joined He Yuzhu's real estate company and served as general manager. He Yuzhu sat firmly on the throne of chairman, and Lou Xiao'e, as vice chairman, assisted in handling various affairs of the company. Xu Xinyue also became a director of the company with her special status. Even Hu Deqing got a share of the company's development and became a small shareholder, responsible for the two businesses of Zhuxiangju and electrical appliances.

After a few years, Hu Deqing also found his own happiness and married a gentle and lovely wife. The family lived in harmony and enjoyed the warmth and tranquility of life.

However, behind this seemingly perfect life, there are some unknown undercurrents.

As He Yuzhu's business empire continued to expand, he was busy shuttling between various construction sites and business occasions, and the time he spent at home with his wife and children became less and less, like quicksand at his fingertips, disappearing without a trace in the blink of an eye.

The academic tutoring, growth education and other issues of the twins naturally all fell on Xu Xinyue's shoulders alone.

One weekend afternoon, the sun shone through the window onto the living room floor. Chen Bao and Ying Bao sat on the sofa with a hint of dissatisfaction on their faces.

"Mom, Dad is not at home. Doesn't he care about us at all?" Ying Bao pouted, with a hint of grievance in her eyes.

Xu Xinyue sighed softly, sat beside them, stroked Ying Bao's hair and said, "Your father is also working hard for this family. He wants to give us a better life."

"But I would rather he could spend more time with us, even if it's just to have a meal together." Chen Bao lowered his head, his voice a little low.

At this time, He Yuzhu hurried back home with a stack of documents in his hand.

"Hey, the kids are all here, what's going on? What's happening?" He Yuzhu noticed that something was wrong with the atmosphere.

"Dad, do you have this family in your heart?

Look at you, you are busy with work all day long. You have never attended our parent-teacher conferences and you never ask about my academic performance!"

Ying Bao couldn't help but stood up and spoke loudly.

He Yuzhu was slightly stunned, and a bitter smile appeared on his face: "Yingbao, Dad works so hard, isn't it for you, so that you can live a good life in the future."

"Good life? We don't need you to make so much money, we just want a complete family and a father who can stay with us!"

Chen Bao also stood up, feeling a little excited.

He Yuzhu shook his head helplessly: "You are still young and don't understand your father's painstaking efforts.

When you grow up, you will understand that everything your father does now is for your future."

"we do not need!"

Ying Bao and Chen Bao said in unison, then turned around and went back to the room, leaving He Yuzhu standing alone in the living room, looking confused.

Xu Xinyue looked at He Yuzhu and said softly, "Don't blame the children too much, they just miss you too much.

You have indeed been home too little recently. If you miss the growth of your children, you will never get it back."

He Yuzhu sat down and rubbed his temples: “I know, but the company is at a critical stage now, and there are many things I need to deal with.

I want to stabilize my career first, and then compensate them properly."

“You always think this way, but the children don’t understand.

You have to find some time to sit down and talk with them, otherwise this family will have problems sooner or later."

There was a hint of worry in Xu Xinyue's eyes.

He Yuzhu nodded, but thought to himself that he would talk about it after he was done with this busy period.

However, he did not realize that a family crisis was quietly approaching, which was about to drag his originally happy family into a storm and might even lead to the brink of separation.

The days still passed by in busyness, and He Yuzhu still went out early and came back late, devoting himself to his work wholeheartedly.

Chen Bao and Ying Bao's dissatisfaction with him was growing day by day. The communication between them and He Yuzhu was getting less and less, and the atmosphere at home was becoming more and more depressing.

One night, He Yuzhu rarely went home for dinner.

At the table, everyone ate in silence and the atmosphere was extremely depressing.

"Dad, Chenbao and I have discussed that we want to live in the school dormitory." Yingbao suddenly broke the silence.

He Yuzhu looked up in surprise: "Living on campus? Why? I live well at home, why do I want to live on campus?"

"We don't want to go home and not see you every day. Living in the school dormitory can help you concentrate on your studies." Chen Bao said lightly.

He Yuzhu looked at the children, feeling a pang of pain in his heart: "Did Dad do something wrong that made you hate coming home so much?"

"You know it clearly in your heart!" Ying Bao put down the bowl and chopsticks and went back to her room.

Chen Bao also stood up and said, "Dad, just agree to us." Then he followed Ying Bao into the room.

He Yuzhu looked at the children's backs and did not speak for a long time.

Xu Xinyue looked at him, her eyes full of helplessness: "Look, the children are already like this, you can't just ignore them anymore."

He Yuzhu took a deep breath and said, "Okay, I promise them that I can live on campus.

But I will find time to talk to them.”

However, before He Yuzhu found an opportunity to talk to the children, a major crisis arose in the company.

A competitor maliciously reported that Hua Xia Real Estate had violated regulations in a certain project. For a time, the company was caught in a whirlpool of public opinion, orders were canceled one after another, and partners began to waver.

He Yuzhu had to devote all his energy to resolving the company's crisis. He ran around, communicating and coordinating with relevant departments, looking for evidence to prove the company's innocence.

During this process, he was under tremendous pressure and was exhausted both physically and mentally.

At home, Xu Xinyue was frowning all day long because she was worried about He Yuzhu and the company's situation.

When Chen Bao and Ying Bao saw their mother like this, their dissatisfaction with He Yuzhu deepened. They felt that all this was the result of He Yuzhu only caring about work and ignoring his family.

One day, He Yuzhu returned home tired after a busy day at the company.

As soon as I entered the door, I saw Xu Xinyue sitting on the sofa crying.

"Xinyue, what's wrong? What happened?" He Yuzhu hurried to her side.

"Yuzhui, I went to the hospital for a physical examination today. The doctor said that I have a chronic disease that requires long-term treatment, and the cost of treatment is very high." Xu Xinyue said in tears.

He Yuzhu hugged her tightly: "Don't be afraid, Xinyue, I'm here.

No matter how much it costs, we will cure your disease."

However, He Yuzhu was in a dilemma at this time.

The company's crisis has not been resolved yet, and now he is faced with his wife's high medical expenses. He feels unprecedented pressure.

In the following days, He Yuzhu worked even harder, trying to solve the problems of the company and the family at the same time.

But he ignored the fact that in the process, he was becoming increasingly distant from his family and his family relationships were becoming increasingly fragile.

Finally, after a fierce quarrel, Chen Bao and Ying Bao decided to leave home and live in the school dormitory.

They feel that they no longer feel warmth and love in this home, and they want to escape from this depressing environment.

He Yuzhu looked at the children's backs as they packed their luggage and left, his heart filled with regret and self-blame.

He realized that all he had been working so hard for his family had inadvertently resulted in him losing the most precious thing.

At this time, the company crisis was becoming more and more serious. Although He Yuzhu tried hard to save the situation, it seemed that everything was beyond his control.

Hua Xia Real Estate’s reputation was severely damaged and its business almost came to a standstill.

He Yuzhu sat alone in his empty house, recalling every detail of the past. He didn't understand how things had turned out like this.

The once happy family has now become shattered, and his career has fallen into despair.

He knew he had to make changes or he would lose everything.

But he didn't know how to start to save his broken family and career...
