Solstice Secrets

Zhuang Zhou came out of the kitchen with a bucket of yogurt, and saw Brown Tang lying on the door of the living room basking in the sun, his blue eyes half-opened and half-closed, wondering if he had fallen asleep.Three kittens snuggled up beside it, and the brown-furred civet cat simply pillowed it on its neck.Brown Tang didn't even dodge, just letting it sleep on his pillow.

Zhuang Zhou watched silently for a while, then walked over and sat down beside them.The gray cat sleeping at Brown Sugar's feet looked at him vigilantly, and seeing that he hadn't done anything else, he fell back and took a nap in peace.Brown Tang also smelled the familiar scent, rolled his eyelids lazily, and wagged his tail at his daddy.The cat that was resting on it changed its position impatiently, Brown Tang turned his head and licked its back.

Looking at the interaction between cats and dogs, Zhuang Zhou felt a little subtle in his heart.He knows the temper of the son he raised since he was a child. He never expected that since Ling Dongzhi left, this spoiled young master would suddenly take on the responsibility of taking care of the three cats, not only following them every day Running back and forth like a bodyguard, and also let out all the things he loves to eat.Stay with them even when you sleep.

Zhuang Zhou almost had the illusion that "the son is possessed by something".What made him even more horrified was that the three stab-loving cats actually acquiesced in Brown Tang's approach, and enjoyed Brown Tang's hospitality with peace of mind.

Is it because they have the same yearning for that person?

That's a sad guess indeed.

Zhuang Zhou touched his son's back twice, and said in a low voice, "Brown Tang, do you miss him too?"

Brown Tang hummed twice, thinking that this is not nonsense.If Ling Dongzhi doesn't come back, it's unmarried, rich, handsome, father and mother, taking care of these three kittens, is it easy? !

Well, the fact that Xiaohui and the servants are both older than him has been deliberately ignored by him.

Zhuang Zhou rubbed Brown Tang's neck and murmured, "When I get the address, I'll take you to find him, okay? How about taking these three kittens with me?"

Brown Sugar continued to hum.After saying this for two days, Ling Dongzhi's brother still refused to let go.It seems that he is determined to fight him to the end.

"It's okay." Zhuang Zhou didn't know whether to comfort it or himself, "My resignation letter has been handed in, and he should arrange a time to talk to me today. This matter is handled quickly, and I have the face to go." See him."

Brown Tang felt that its daddy's silly appearance looked a little pitiful, so he tilted his head and licked the back of his hand.From its point of view, Ling Dongzhi should come back, the child he brought is still living in their house, how could he not come back?But it couldn't comfort its daddy with such words.There is a saying in human beings, just because we are in this mountain.

Hehe, it knows that it is a rich and handsome man with knowledge.

The phone rang, Zhuang Zhou got up to answer the phone, and walked out a few minutes later, hurriedly rubbing Brown Tang's neck twice, "Waiting for good news from Daddy."

Brown Sugar watched inexplicably as he hurriedly jumped down the steps, got into the car and drove out of the yard.There was a relaxed expression on his face throughout the process.

Brown Tang asked Xiaohui next to him suspiciously, "Is there any news about the winter solstice?"

Xiao Hui ignored its question, squinted his eyes and thought for a while, "If he takes you, you can take us too. I haven't seen Winter Solstice for a long time, and I feel very worried."

Brown Tang was a little uneasy about the cat's attributes, "Then you are not allowed to run around on the road." If he really lost it, his father had to throw it aside and go find these kittens one by one. Thinking about that kind of scenario makes me feel bad.

Xiao Hui glanced at it disdainfully, "Don't worry, handsome guy, I won't cause trouble for you."

Brown Sugar licked his lips, "Then you must keep your word."

When Zhuang Zhou walked into the company wearing loose slacks and a pullover sweater, the jaws of a group of people dropped in shock.

Everyone who works in Zhuang's knows that Zhuang Zhou is young, but from the first day he went to work, he has been wearing a standard workplace attire of a suit and leather shoes.When the workplace image created by his rigorous dressing habits has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, there is a sudden reversal, and even the girls at the front desk start whispering that Mr. Zhuang is going on vacation?Or are you planning to walk away?Just two days after his own father came back, he planned to quit the job. Is this a demonstration?

The live version of father and son turning against each other, rich and powerful grievances?

The company's intranet was full of speculations for a while, Li He, who had just been promoted to the special assistant to the general manager, couldn't sit still.Zhuang Zhou started his vacation two days ago, and the longer he stayed by Qiao Yun's side, the more uneasy he became.If Zhuang Zhou really quit, is there still a need for his special assistant?

Qiao Yun stood in the tea room, brewing tea nimbly and reprimanding him, "Calm down, calm down, do you understand? Sure enough, you are still too young, and the heat is not enough."

Li He felt that he couldn't calm down.

"The general manager is just a position, not a person's name." Qiao Yun reminded him, "Even if Mr. Zhuang is not in the Zhuang family, no matter what he plans to do in the future, he needs people around him—especially the experienced people who have cooperated with him in the work. .”

Li He froze for a moment, and somewhat understood what she meant.

Qiao Yun didn't say much, and waved her hands, "Go on to work."

Li He ran away holding the document in his arms.

Qiao Yun shook her head, picked up the tray with a calm expression and walked to the door of the general manager's office, knocked lightly twice, heard the voice of the big boss coming from inside, opened the door and walked in, put several cups of hot tea on the big door one by one. In front of BOSS, Mrs. BOSS and Zhuang Zhou, and then backed out without looking sideways.When the door closed behind her, Qiao Yun thought to herself, the wife of the boss is so young and beautiful, no wonder the third young master is so cute.

In the office, Cheng Anni glanced at the closed door, and smiled at Zhuang Zhou, "You are a good assistant."

Zhuang Zhou nodded, "Qiao Yun followed me as soon as I came up, very capable."

Cheng Anni looked at him, and then at the sullen husband behind the desk, showing a very bored expression, "Are you two talking or not? I even asked someone to have dinner together. There is not enough time to dawdle. How about Should I avoid it first?"

Before Zhuang Zhou could speak, his father snorted, "Where are you going to avoid?"

Cheng Anni winked quietly at Zhuang Zhou, "You put on airs there for a long time and didn't say a word. I'm tired of waiting. The second child is going to resign. If you agree or disagree, you should directly express your opinion and show your face." Who is it for?"

Zhuang Chengyan slapped the folder in his hand on the table, "I just dropped the pick out of nowhere, who the hell is showing face?"

Cheng Anni was helpless, "Then you should ask carefully."

Zhuang Chengyan fell silent again.

Cheng Anni winked at Zhuang Zhou, "How about I ask?"

Zhuang Zhou smiled wryly.

When he was a child, Zhuang Zhou always felt that his father was serious and unkind.It wasn't until Cheng Anni, the stepmother, came in that he slowly realized that his father was just dull by nature, and the more he faced the people close to him, the less he knew how to express his emotions.And Cheng Anni's way of dealing with his father was to simplify many things before bringing them to him. His father only needed to nod or shake his head.

Zhuang Zhou felt that his father's character was really awkward.But at the same time, he also somewhat understood why his mother, who needed the care of those around him at that moment, broke up her marriage.One of those two people didn't know how to give, and the other only knew how to take.They are all waiting for the other party to accommodate themselves, how can such a marriage be maintained.So he likes Cheng Anni very much.She is not the type of cuddly bird, and she is not coquettish in her words and actions, but crisp and neat.Most importantly, she can make people around her feel what it means to be cared for.

Cheng Anni gave Zhuang Chengyan a somewhat helpless glance, then turned to ask Zhuangzhou, "It's so good, why don't you stop doing it? There must be a reason, too tired? Do you have any ideas about other industries? What do you think?" ? Or you just want to retreat as an advance and ask your father to promise you what conditions?"

Hearing her last words, Zhuang Chengyan immediately frowned, "What nonsense are you talking about?"

Cheng Anni asked him back with a smile, "Do you dare to say that you don't have such doubts?"

Zhuang Chengyan remained silent again, but his shrewd eyes were fixed on Zhuang Zhou's face, and he asked solemnly, "Why did Xia Mo find you?"

Zhuang Zhou was originally amused by Cheng Anni's lazy tone, but when he heard Zhuang Chengyan's words, the expression on his face restrained again, "I will settle the matter between me and him. Dad, I After graduating from university, I followed you to work in the company. I want to try to put aside the signboard of the banker and live on my own ability."

Zhuang Chengyan showed deep suspicion on his face.

"Besides, you're still young," Zhuang Zhou started flattering his father without showing any signs, "There's no need to let everyone think that you have decided on a successor so early."

Zhuang Chengyan seemed to understand something, "Why, has this identity caused you any trouble?"

Cheng Anni also opened her eyes curiously, "Do you want to test love as an ordinary employee?"

"No," Zhuang Zhou shook his head wearily, "I was kicked by him. I want to see if being an ordinary employee can win his sympathy and let him accept me again."

"Kicked?" Cheng Anni looked at him suspiciously, "That's not what the third brother said."

Zhuang Chengyan's gaze immediately swept over, "What are you hiding from me?"

Cheng Anni quickly waved her hand, "Listen to the second first."

Zhuang Zhou was silent for a moment, he knew that Cheng Anni knew almost everything, and his father probably also had doubts, but it was still difficult to speak, "Dad, I plan to get married."

"Oh?" Zhuang Chengyan asked calmly, "What else?" If he just planned to get married, it would be impossible for his son to show such a hesitant look.

Zhuang Zhou let out a sigh of relief, "He's a man."

Zhuang Chengyan instantly felt like a nightmare came true.I don't want to believe that all this is true, but I deeply know that my ears have not heard wrong.He glanced at Cheng Anni in a complicated manner, wondering why she could be so... calm when she heard the same news.

Cheng Anni lived up to everyone's expectations and asked a question that broke Zhuang Chengyan even more, "Is he pretty?"

Zhuang Zhou nodded, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, "It's beautiful. But now is not the time to talk about that, is it?" He looked at Zhuang Chengyan, who was sitting behind the desk, with a face struck by lightning, and his eyes were numb.

"Marriage is always a good thing." Cheng Anni said happily: "If you can't get married at home, go abroad. I have a best friend who is a designer, and I will take care of the dress. I promise to give you a super super perfect wedding. "

"Annie!" Zhuang Chengyan came back to his senses, and reprimanded lightly with a sullen face, "Don't make trouble first."

Cheng Anni and Zhuang Zhou looked at each other, pursed their lips in joy, and fell silent.

Zhuang Chengyan tapped his fingers on the table, "If I remember correctly, the sewage system is a project that the Tu family has been following up, right? We have never had any direct conflicts with them. Explain your motivation for doing this."

It was Zhuang Zhou's expectation that the topic was changed, Zhuang Zhou said lightly: "Tu Shengbei stretched his hand too far. The land in the south of the city is because he obstructed it, so it has not been obtained until now."

Zhuang Chengyan gave him a meaningful look.Zhuang Zhou and Tu Shengbei were about the same age, so it was reasonable to compete with each other.However, Zhuang Chengyan was very pleased to be able to grab this large government-funded order from the Tu family.

Seeing that he was silent, Zhuang Zhou couldn't help asking, "My resignation letter..."

Zhuang Chengyan gave him an aggrieved look.His eldest son was like an enemy when he saw him. The youngest son wanted to be a mechanical designer, so he was left with such a useful one. Unexpectedly, he was misled by God. He didn’t even want to find a man. up...

But it really made him agree to marry a man, but he couldn't do it.Their dealer has never had such a precedent, and he can't explain it to Grandpa Zhuangzhou.Zhuang Zhou handed over all the resignation reports to him, which shows that Zhuang Zhou also thought of this.His son, who had always been proud of him, was using his withdrawal from the Zhuang family's power center as a bargaining chip to bargain with him, hoping to get him to forgive him.

This was the first time Zhuang Zhou begged him.

Zhuang Chengyan sighed in frustration, "Decided?"

Zhuang Zhou nodded solemnly.

Zhuang Chengyan snapped the folder on the desktop, "Suspended. As for the others... we'll talk about it later."

Zhuang Zhou was taken aback.He knew that it was impossible for Zhuang Chengyan to accept everything at once.No violent opposition has been shown, and for now, such an attitude is enough.

"Thank you, Dad." Zhuang Zhou stood up, "Will you continue to follow up with the Tu family?"

Zhuang Chengyan ignored him, "You no longer have the authority to intervene in the company's affairs."

Zhuang Zhou, "..."

Cheng Anni winked at him.

Zhuang Zhou lowered his head and smiled, "I'll be away for a while, take care of yourself."

"Go," Cheng Anni waved her hands with a smile, "I hope you will get back your him."

Zhuang Chengyan snorted without raising his head.
