Reborn, I want to be the richest man!
Chapter 59
Dragging my tired body, I pushed open the door of my home late at night. The dim light in the living room was still on, and Xiaolu curled up on the sofa, already asleep. Her face was a little haggard, with a few strands of hair scattered on her cheeks, and she was holding an unfinished book in her hand. Seeing her like this, my heart seemed to be tightly grasped by an invisible big hand, and a stabbing pain came over me.
I approached her lightly, wanting to cover her with a blanket. At this time, I found that there were still traces of tears in the corners of her eyes. She seemed to be restless in her dream, with her brows slightly wrinkled and mumbling something. I leaned in to listen, and it was about the worries about the company's crisis and the troubles about family trivia. My guilt surged into my heart like a tide, almost drowning me. "Xiaolu, I'm sorry, I made you so hard." I said silently in my heart, my voice full of self-blame.
During this period, I devoted myself to the company's affairs, trying to solve the endless problems. From dealing with the conspiracy of the mysterious organization, to handling the internal crisis, to the commercial war with competitors, everything is like a heavy mountain, which makes me breathless. I go out early and come back late every day, and sometimes I can't go home for several days. I thought that as long as I worked hard to solve the company's problems, I could bring a better life to my family, but I ignored that what they needed most was my company.
I walked into the child's room. In the dark, I could only see his small figure lying quietly on the bed. I sat gently on the edge of the bed and stared at his sleeping face. His eyebrows and eyes are a bit like me, and a bit like Xiaolu, so innocent and cute. However, when I wanted to touch his forehead, he moved slightly in his sleep, and seemed to resist. At that moment, my heart seemed to be torn apart, and blood flowed. "Baby, it's Daddy's fault. Daddy hasn't been with you for too long. You almost don't recognize me." I cried painfully in my heart, tears rolling in my eyes, but I didn't dare to let them fall, for fear of waking up the child.
When I think back to when my child was born, I promised with joy that I would accompany him to grow up and witness every important moment of his life. But now, I have broken my promise again and again. I was not around when he first learned to walk; I did not hear him call me dad for the first time. I have missed too many precious moments, and once they are missed, they can never be made up.
In the company, I am the strong leader who leads the team to charge forward and face various challenges. I cannot show any weakness or retreat, because I know that every decision I make is related to the survival of the company and the livelihood and future of many employees. However, in front of my family, I feel like a complete loser. I did not fulfill my responsibilities as a good husband, did not give Xiaolu enough care and support; nor did I fulfill my responsibilities as a good father, leaving the child without the company of fatherly love in the process of growing up.
The next morning, I got up early and prepared breakfast for Xiaolu and the child. I want to do something within my ability in this limited time to relieve the pain in my heart.Guilt. When Xiaolu walked into the restaurant and saw the breakfast table full of breakfast, a flash of surprise flashed in her eyes, but it was quickly replaced by fatigue. "Why are you here so early today?" She asked softly, with a hint of doubt in her voice.
"I want to make breakfast for you. I've been too busy recently and ignored you. I'm sorry." I lowered my head and didn't dare to look her in the eye, like a child who had done something wrong.
Xiaolu walked to me and hugged me gently. "I know you are working hard for the company, and I understand you. It's just that sometimes, I really feel very tired and I really hope you can spend more time with us." Her voice was a little choked, and tears soaked my shoulders.
I hugged her tightly, and secretly vowed in my heart that I must solve the company's problems as soon as possible, and then accompany them well. "Xiaolu, believe me, all this will pass. When the company is through the difficulties, I will have more time to accompany you." I said gently in her ear, with a firm tone.
However, it is easier said than done. The company's crisis is still severe, and new problems continue to emerge. I had to throw myself into my busy work. Every time I left home, I saw Xiaolu and the child's reluctant eyes, and my steps became extremely heavy. But I knew that I couldn't stop, I had to stick to it.
At an important meeting of the company, my thoughts drifted back to home involuntarily. I thought of Xiaolu's tired face and the child's somewhat unfamiliar eyes, and my heart was in a trance. The discussion of my colleagues buzzed in my ears, but I couldn't hear a word. "Am I right to do this? Have I sacrificed too much family happiness for the company?" I kept asking myself in my heart, and I fell into deep contradictions and struggles.
However, every time I think of the future of the company and the employees who fight side by side with me, I feel that I have no other choice. I am the leader of the company, and I have the responsibility to lead everyone out of the predicament. Only when the company develops stably can it provide better material security for the family and let Xiaolu and the child live a happy life. "I must persevere, no matter how hard or tiring it is, I must grit my teeth and hold on for the company and my family." I silently encouraged myself in my heart and refocused on the discussion of the meeting.
In this difficult time, the pressure of the family is like another storm, intertwined with the crisis of the company, making me move forward with difficulty in the wind and rain. I know that I must find a balance between the two to truly move towards the other side of happiness and peace. But this process is so painful and long that I can only grope forward step by step in guilt and self-blame.
