The Geng family's main hall was lavishly decorated, with a dark red base that made the gold accents appear even more noble. The gold accents surrounded the ceiling of the entire hall and finally converged on a huge jade lamp, creating an oppressive atmosphere.
The jade lamp cast a dim, yellowish light, illuminating Geng Huachi's somber face.
"Master, the young master has arrived." The servant bowed slightly, knees slightly bent.
"Call him over."
Geng Huachi took out his phone.
Chang Geng had tried to solve his predicament before, but all his attempts ended in failure. Two years ago, an unprecedented disaster swept through the stock market, directly exposing Chang Geng's predicament to the outside world.
As a result, the few cunning and scheming individuals in Wushui have yet to make a move.
The calm before the storm is nothing more than this.
The most ridiculous thing is that the first company to emerge is a little-known company.
Thinking of this, Geng Huachi curled his lips in a mocking smile.
The child carrying a computer walked into the lobby. The closer he got, the brighter his smile became. When he stood in front of Geng Huachi, Geng Yi smiled and called out, "Dad."
The two people, who hadn't seen each other for four months, were extremely estranged.
Geng Huachi's fingers twitched slightly, but he ultimately withdrew the gesture of stroking his hair. "Call your grandfather and say hello to him."
The main family is located far away in Huangkou, and the group only has one company related to the transportation industry.
The phone rang for a long time, and Geng Yi kept smiling, looking at the screen with his eyes crinkling.
I dialed four times before finally getting through.
"[Young Master?]" A young woman's voice came from the other end of the phone.
Geng Huachi's brow twitched, and he picked up the phone. "Where's my cousin?"
[The master is sleeping...]
A faint snoring sound could be heard coming from the phone.
"Let my cousin make the call."
Okay, I'll take it right away.
The family system is vast, with generations stacked one after another, and just remembering the names is a headache.
He moved from Huangkou to Wushui because he wanted to carve out his own niche.
If he were still in his hometown, he wouldn't get a single drop of meat soup.
A slightly drunken voice came through the phone: [Geng Huachi?]
Before Geng Huachi could address the other party with a respectful title, the other party immediately scoffed.
[You still remember your surname is Geng?]
"How could I forget? I've been quite busy with work lately, cousin. How have you been?"
The two chatted casually for a few minutes, and after the cold tone on the other end of the phone subsided, Geng Huachi finally got to the point.
"Here's the thing, do you own a transportation company? I'd like to ask you for help."
He has already humbled himself, hoping that the major shareholder will increase its stake.
As long as the largest shareholder remains the same, he won't find himself in a too passive situation.
After all, he himself owns less than 0.1% of the shares.
Although he is the chairman of the board, he doesn't have much power at the shareholders' meeting. He has to arrange all the big and small matters of the company, working day and night, just to make the company bigger and stronger.
The purpose was to completely break away from the master and separate themselves.
But the voice in my ear said: [Little brother, you know your family isn't cut out for transportation. It's not that I don't want to help you, but leaving Huangkou was your own choice, so you'd better make something of yourself.]
When he arrived in Wushui more than a decade ago, he had no money and could only ask his master for help. After much pleading, he finally managed to build Changgeng.
Geng Huachi gritted his teeth, and after a long while, he suppressed his voice and said weakly, "Cousin, no matter what, I am still a member of the Geng family. If you don't help me now, I really don't know who else to turn to..."
[Who told you to go so far away? You have family to take care of you in Huangkou, why go to Wushui? You insisted on squeezing into that circle, there's nothing I can do.]
The two of them pushed and pulled, and after a few rounds, the other party actually hung up the phone.
The silence beside him stung his face, making him feel as if he were being stomped on the ground!
Geng Huachi's face turned red, and he almost crushed his phone.
When he looked up, he saw the child standing in front of him still smiling, as if mocking him for being humble and returning empty-handed.
With a "whoosh," Geng Huachi's anger reached its peak.
His once handsome and refined face was twisted into a ferocious demon, not to mention the dignity on his face was completely consumed by rage.
Geng Huachi raised his hand high and slapped it.
In an instant, Geng Yi's face was turned to the side by the slap, his smile froze, and his eyes stared wide open.
The air seemed to freeze.
Geng Huachi remained silent on the sofa, picked up his briefcase and left. As he went outside, he saw a young man standing there timidly.
"Mr. Geng, I... I have something to say." The young teacher stood to the side.
The words spoken were not heard at all.
Geng Huachi strode aggressively into the car.
Soon, all that could be seen was the rear of a car speeding away.
Young teacher: "..."
It's difficult to get along with wealthy families, and even more difficult for children.
He did want to resign, but his monthly salary of several hundred thousand yuan, plus his daily expenses, added up to an extremely considerable sum.
A young teacher walked into the hall and saw a child on the sofa with a red right cheek, staring blankly at the computer.
The hall was filled with the laughter of cartoons.
The sound stimulated the eardrums, almost making the heart tremble.
"Young Master, it's time to study."
"come here."
Hearing the child on the sofa call him, he quickly suppressed his inner grumbling and went over with a smile.
A loud "smack" rang out, and the young teacher was suddenly stunned, falling onto the carpet without any warning.
His strength is completely unlike that of a child!
Seeing the child's cold smile, the young teacher covered his face, cold sweat pouring down his face.
The child who slapped people's faces slowly walked into the room and raised his hand.
It took me a long time to find the word "Grandpa" on the contact list on my watch.
He had just dialed when the other end answered in less than two seconds.
There was no more snoring, and no woman's voice either.
He cleared his throat and called out, "Grandpa!"
The child's face was contorted with resentment, yet his voice was incredibly sweet.
[Was that a call from your dad?]
"How could that be? I just miss Grandpa!"
The child's voice was as sweet as honey, which made the old man on the other end of the phone laugh heartily a few times.
[Xiao Yi, come and keep Grandpa company. Grandpa has everything you need. There's no future for you following your dad!]
Afterwards, Geng Yi used a few words to make the old man laugh happily.
He parted his lips slightly and said, "Grandpa, Dad has been busy until midnight a lot lately and hasn't had time to spend with me. No one plays with me. I really miss you..."
The laughter on the other end of the phone gradually subsided, and a gentle voice said, "[If you agree to come back to Huangkou, I'll have your uncle keep an eye on your dad's situation.]"
According to seniority, the old man should be called "Great-Grandpa," but since the relationship is close, there's no need to consider that.
Geng Yi has the ability to make others treat him like their own son.
*
Because of this phone call, Geng Huachi, who flew to Huangkou overnight, originally thought he would be turned away.
When he got off the plane and returned to his hometown, he not only met his most powerful uncle, but even his cousin wanted to go back to Wushui with him.
They call it "playing for a few days."
