Chapter 79: Do all the work that is not on the table
Chen Xi sat beside Shen Xinyi's bed, neither of them knew what to say.
Usually in school, they always have endless things to say, but now they fell into an embarrassing silence.
The smell in Shen Xinyi's room is very pleasant, very similar to the smell on her body, an indescribable light fragrance.
This fragrance made Chen Xi feel inexplicably comfortable and relaxed.
"Didi didi."
Suddenly, the phone rang. Chen Xi opened it and saw that it was a call from his father. His face immediately darkened, and he was filled with dissatisfaction with this man.
"I'll go out and take a call."
Chen Xi picked up the phone absentmindedly and said.
Shen Xinyi nodded and breathed a sigh of relief.
She also felt that the atmosphere just now was too embarrassing. Why did Zhang Ruoxi call him to the house?
"Hello." Chen Xi pressed the answer button and said in a slightly cold tone.
"What are you? You are listless every time I talk to you. Did you stay up all night playing games again? How are your test scores this time?"
My father's serious voice came from the other end of the phone. sound.
Every time he called, he always gave me a scolding.
Ever since he was a child, his father's attitude towards him has been extremely strict. To use a nice word, he is rigorous, and to use a bad word, he is picky.
When answering the phone, he always asks to use the formal wording used in TV dramas, such as: "Hello, this is the Chen Mansion."
When texting with his family, He also writes in very formal terms, like a subordinate reporting to a superior.
Chen Xi still couldn't understand that he was clearly his son, not his employee.
This kind of treatment made him feel a little depressed and dissatisfied.
"I'm asking you, what are you thinking about? International long distance calls cost six yuan per minute. I don't know how to save money at all. I learn some bad things from spending time with those losers every day."
Meet Chen Xi There was no immediate response, and the father's tone became a little more stern.
Chen Xi couldn't help but laugh after hearing this. You already have a net worth of hundreds of millions, do you still care about these six yuan? It’s really hilarious.
It really illustrates a saying: the richer people are, the stingier they are.
“It’s okay, I can pass, I didn’t play games, I studied hard.”
Chen Xi thought for a moment. The results haven't come out yet. There is no problem in passing, but he doesn't know what the score will be.
“What does it mean to pass? There is an employee in my company whose daughter also goes to school in Mocun, and they all get scholarships. You are so stupid, I still expect you to come back to manage the company after you finish your studies. "
The dissatisfied voice on the other end of the phone rang again, and Chen Xi couldn't help but sneer after hearing this.
You don’t care about giving your employees a big pie, but you still give me a big pie. I believed your lies before, but you ended up using my mother’s money to support your new wife.
Chen Xi's father was an intruder and came from a poor family. He relied on sweet talk to marry Chen Xi's mother.
Even when I started my business, my wife provided the resources.
However, he still insists on saving face outside, claiming that he is self-made.
Perhaps due to living in poverty and shadow since childhood, Chen Xi’s father was filled with low self-esteem and strong self-esteem.
This self-esteem made him stubborn and rebellious.
As his career gradually developed and expanded, he began to seek a sense of revengeful satisfaction and became the so-called "Two Five Boys".
"Understood." Chen Xi responded briefly.
Although my father has been divorced for a short time, he has not yet married a new wife and has not yet moved out of his home. At the same time, he and his mother were sleeping in separate rooms.
Although these situations make Chen Xi feel a little uncomfortable, so far, his father treats him pretty well. Therefore, he did not choose to mock his father.
“Well, you told me last time that you don’t want to go to college and want to start a logistics company in China. I advise you not to think about such a thing. I spent so much money to let you study abroad. You Going back to China to work as a driver to move goods? Are you out of your mind to do these low-price jobs?"
Chen Xi was confused after hearing this. He recalled that he proposed this idea to his father when he returned to China after graduating from high school.
At that time, he felt that the logistics industry would definitely be a profitable business in the future.
However, my father did not agree with this. He believed that logistics was a low-level job and could not be promoted to the public.
Before, Chen Xi also proposed to open a chain of fast food, but his father also felt that it was a job of serving tea and water to people.
In Chen Xi's view, these businesses are good ways to make money, but in his father's eyes, they are jobs that have no status and cannot be promoted.
This was one of the ongoing points of contention between him and his father.
His father firmly believes that doing business must be high-end and classy, such as opening galleries, auction houses, technology and other industries.
In short, the grade must be high, this is the premise.
As for whether you can make money, that is another matter.
"Oh, I understand." Chen Xi responded simply.
He doesn't expect investment or other support.
In my previous life, I kept talking back and trying to convince the other person. Thinking about it now is simply ridiculous.
It is extremely difficult to change a person's mind, especially for people of the older generation.
The gap between the two generations makes this attempt even more difficult than ever.
"Well, that's it, hang up first." Father Chen on the other end of the phone was a little surprised.
He had prepared a bunch of words to educate Chen Xi, but it was like a fist hitting cotton. Chen Xi did not react as he expected and talked back and argued.
Previously, this would last about an hour.
Father Chen felt very bored and could only pick up the landline phone on the table and said: "The meeting will be held in ten minutes."
He could only put the words he had been holding back in his stomach at the meeting. Pour out and teach others a lesson.
"What's wrong with you? Your face doesn't look good."
After making the call, Chen Xi sighed deeply and returned to the bedroom with worries.
Shen Xinyi saw his expression and asked curiously.
"It's okay, it's a call from home." Chen Xi sat on the bed unhappily.
"The relationship between you and your family is not very good?"
"The relationship with my father is not very good."
Chen Xi replied casually, but did not stay on this topic for too long.
“It’s time to eat, it’s time for the next meal!”
As Zhang Ruoxi’s voice sounded, she stood at the door of the room wearing an apron, holding a spatula in her hand, like a delicate lady Pretty little cook.
If Dongdong saw him like this, he might become animalistic.
Dongdong likes girls who are delicate and good at cooking, but Zhang Ruoxi has a more lively personality, and I don’t know if Dongdong can control her.
"Let me hug you."
Chen Xi stood up and walked to the bed. Regardless of Shen Xinyi's refusal, he gave her a princess hug and carried her to the dining table in the living room and laid her down.
Shen Xinyi's cheeks turned red. This was the second time she was treated like this by Chen Xi.
She has a cold personality and usually stays distant from boys, but Chen Xi is the only boy she is willing to get close to.
