Chapter 19 Seeing the Parents

This business trip went very smoothly throughout. Almost all the manufacturers they selected met the requirements, and the negotiation process was also very smooth.

In the evening, Mr. Lu invited him to dinner, but Yan Zhengming didn't go, saying that he still had work to do urgently.

He didn't say what kind of job it was, but he didn't avoid Zhong Lin at all when he called people.

Zhong Lin probably knew what they were doing from his conversation with Jiang Lian and others.

In addition to Jinshang Media, the companies actually controlled by him and Jiang Lian in the mainland also include Zhongqing New Energy Battery Company.

In the past few years, the new energy automobile industry has developed rapidly, which has also driven the rapid development of downstream industries. On the surface, Zhongqing New Energy is not as good as Jinshang Media's revenue, but in fact the prospect is worse than Jinshang Media. Because of policy support, it is also It is more convenient to operate, and they have been preparing for their backdoor listing since the beginning of the year.

Yan Zhengming often goes on business trips to Hong Kong City to deal with these matters—the shell company they chose is a listed technology company in Hong Kong City that is engaged in the maintenance of new energy power stations, the operation of charging piles, and the development of carbon assets.

Zhong Lin could guess what Yan Zhengming and the others were doing without even asking.

According to their current progress, no accidents, at most two to three months, the company will be able to complete asset restructuring and choose an opportunity to enter the capital market.

He just didn't understand why Yan Zhengming was so troublesome?

The company wants to go public, nothing more than wanting to broaden financing channels and absorb social funds more widely.

In the final analysis, the ultimate goal is to make quick money legally.

Zhong Lin could understand why Yan Zhengming didn't want to rely on his parents, but he didn't quite understand why Yan Zhengming suddenly became so "money loving".

In my impression, Yan Zhengming really didn't have much interest in money before, otherwise Yan Tingxiang would have been so biased all these years, it would have driven him crazy.

Could it be that Qin Zhao's verbal insults a few years ago left a psychological shadow on him, so he still broods on it?

At dinner, Zhong Lin didn't want to drink at first, but President Lu's ability to persuade people to drink is better than Tongxin's Vice President Xiao. The two girls, the assistant and Li Wei, dare not drink. It was quite good to drink, but Zhong Lin couldn't bear to let him carry it alone. Seeing that his face was flushed after drinking, he helped him share some of the firepower and drank two more glasses.

So when I went back at night, I was supported by Li Wei.

Yan Zhengming opened the door and saw Zhong Lin with a drunken face, his face immediately turned ugly, and he asked in a deep voice, "Didn't you ask me to drink less? Why are you still so drunk?"

Li Wei knew about the relationship between the two of them, and was terrified by the boss's eyes, and explained embarrassingly: "Boss Lu is too good at persuading, the manager doesn't want me and Miao Miao to drink, so he blocked us."

With a sullen face, Yan Zhengming took the man from her hand, restrained his tone a little, and said to her, "Go and rest, I'll take care of him."

"Okay." Li Wei breathed a sigh of relief.

Yan Zhengming closed the door, hugged him horizontally, and was about to carry him to the bed to lie down.

In fact, Zhong Lin didn't drink much, just a few glasses. It was because he was too tired recently and didn't have a good rest. In addition, he was a little weak after his last illness, so he couldn't bear the strength of alcohol. He might just be a little dizzy with the usual amount.

He opened his eyes and glanced at Yan Zhengming who was frowning and pursing his lips, and explained to him: "It's less than two taels, it's okay, I'm just sleepy."

"Then go to bed early tonight."

He put Zhong Lin on the bed, and before he could put it down completely, Zhong Lin wanted to get up: "I want to take a bath first."

"Just finished eating, lie down for a while, and then wash later." Yan Zhengming knew that he loves cleanliness and didn't want to lie on the bed with dirty clothes on, so he pushed him back and coaxed, "It's okay, we'll sleep tonight The bed next to it."

Yan Zhengming asked his assistant to book a two-person suite firstly to deceive others, and secondly because he thought that there would be a spare one if the two of them got dirty.

As a result, both goals were not achieved.

Tonight is considered to be the best use of everything.

Zhong Lin couldn't guess these tricks, and fell asleep after being coaxed to lie down by Yan Zhengming. In the end, he didn't know when Yan Zhengming took him to take a bath, and felt in a daze. Yan Zhengming was teasing him, feeding him water, medicine, undressing him, and blow-drying his hair.He was so tired that he couldn't lift his eyelids, and he let him toss around like a soft-legged shrimp the whole time.

He is a person with a particularly abundant spiritual world. He rarely feels insecure like Yan Zhengming, and he is not able to get the so-called sense of security from others, but he can feel the tension from Yan Zhengming. Solid pampering will make him particularly relaxed and peaceful.

He trusts him 100%.

Zhong Lin slept until eleven o'clock the next morning, and everyone left.

"Why didn't you wake me up?"

He clearly set the alarm clock, Yan Zhengming must have secretly turned it off for him!

"You've been so tired recently, I want you to sleep more." Yan Zhengming leaned over and kissed him on the face, "Besides, we wouldn't go with them when we got off the plane, so it would save time and embarrassment. "

"Where are we going then?"

"Go to Wandu first to store things and change clothes. I've made an appointment with a stylist." As agreed before, he will take Zhong Lin to meet his parents tonight.

Zhong Lin has always remembered this matter.

but……

"It's not that we are engaged, so do you want to ask someone to take care of it?"

Today is Yan Sicheng's birthday, he has no interest in stealing the limelight.

Among other things, with Yan Zhengming's height, body shape, face, and identity, how many people can stand there dressed up, how many people can't help but not glance at him?

Although he is not considered a face controler, if it weren't for Yan Zhengming's face and figure, and his suspicious and arrogant temper, who would have liked him.

Usually ghosts are invisible, but today she has to dress up to attend the birthday party of her precious son to steal the limelight, is it to drive Yan Tingxiang to death?

Yan Zhengming bluffed him half-truthfully and said, "As long as you are willing to nod, I can make it our engagement banquet right away."

"Are you serious?" Zhong Lin's eyes widened, "Yan Zhengming, don't mess around."

Seeing that Zhong Lin's expression became tense, Yan Zhengming held his face and kissed him hard: "I'm kidding you!"

Zhong Lin touched his face, acting like an elder: "Yan Zhengming, be good, don't do it."

"Good ancestor." Yan Zhengming cooperated, "Ancestor, are you going to get up? I'm going to get you clothes? Squeeze toothpaste on it by the way?"

"Go."

"twitter!"

After washing up, the two of them went downstairs to have an early lunch, and then went to take the plane in a leisurely manner. After returning to Lishui, they were delayed in Wandu for more than three hours, and it was already five o'clock in the afternoon when they arrived at Yan's house. many.

Zhong Lin has never been here before. The community they lived in before their family went bankrupt was quite high-end, but it was far from being as deep as Xihe Shanzhuang. There were only dozens of single-family houses in the entire community, which was the smallest The floor area is not less than 0.25 square meters, and the plot ratio of the community is less than [-].

When I was studying in the past, a classmate in their class always instilled in everyone a view of making friends who are well-matched, saying that there is a "wall" between the top rich and ordinary people.

Zhong Lin always scoffed at him, thinking that he was too exaggerated and his thinking was too backward, but now he found that he was not completely wrong - some rich people's luxury of quality of life is indeed beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

Not to mention ordinary people, ordinary rich people will not spend millions to buy a Podocarpus pine and put it in the garden at the door as a landscape decoration.

Don't you panic when you have money?

In fact, the mentality of the rich when they buy these things is actually the same as that of ordinary people when they buy a small potted plant. They buy it because they like it very much and it is not expensive.

But Zhong Lin always felt that happiness has nothing to do with money, but has something to do with mentality.

Yan Tingxiang and his wife live in such a luxurious villa, so it's not because they quarrel every now and then, or because they are unhappy.

A marriage with the right family in wealth is still a tragedy if it is not in the right family in spirit.

Just from this well-arranged birthday party, it can be seen how much Yan Tingxiang dotes on his youngest son.

It's not about how high-end the venue is, but about the configuration of the guests.

Among the guests were the bosses of the listed company, or the directors with real power in Xingke, not even the rich second generation.

No wonder the two couples have been arguing frequently recently.

Zhong Lin secretly took a look at Yan Zhengming. Yan Zhengming's expression remained the same, and he dragged him all the way in. Halfway through, he met some surprised looks from the domestic helper and outside waiter, and he didn't let go. .

This house is a French court villa.

There are four floors in total. The first floor of the entrance is a super large eight-meter living room. The west side is a dining room with two kitchens and a balcony, which is connected to the servant's room, driver and gardener. Yan Tingxiang was converted into a banquet hall, and the decoration design of the entire villa was extremely complicated, with a large space, more than luxury, but not enough warmth.

Yan Zhengming is also an extremely insecure person, no wonder he doesn't want to live here.

Zhong Lin withdrew his gaze and followed him to the banquet hall. Yan Zhengming turned around but didn't see his parents, but met several Xingke directors.

It was rare for Yan Zhengming to go up to greet them enthusiastically like a junior. Later, Aunt Lin brought someone over to exchange fruit and refreshments for them, and Yan Zhengming caught them and asked, "Aunt Lin, where are my parents?"

"The wife should be on the second floor, and the husband and Ah Cheng are chatting with people in the garden."

Zhong Lin thought that Yan Zhengming was going to take him to see Su Xiaowen first, but Yan Zhengming took him directly to the garden.

"Why do you have to go now?" Zhong Lin felt that Yan Zhengming was not holding back.

Yan Zhengming said: "It's time for dinner. Go and say hello before the meal. We'll leave after we eat. A group of them drink and drink for a long time. I don't have the patience to wait."

Ok.

"Dad! Uncle Zeng!" Yan Zhengming basically didn't care about Yan Tingxiang calling him Dad when no outsiders were around.

The three of them turned their heads when they heard the sound, Yan Sicheng was the first to call out "Brother", but Yan Zhengming seemed to have never heard of it, and kept looking at Yan Tingxiang.

When Yan Tingxiang saw his eldest son, his blood pressure soared in conditioned reflex, not to mention that there was an extra man beside him at this time, no matter how good-looking that man was, if the gender was wrong, nothing would be right.

It didn't happen right now because Yan Zhengming got the vaccination in advance that day.

He was really a little scared of this bastard, and didn't want to spoil his youngest son's birthday party.

"Zhengming, why did you come back so late?" It was Zeng Yongqing from Lihua Technology who spoke.

"I just came back from a business trip in other provinces for the past two days." Yan Zhengming politely explained to him, still looking at his father with a calm expression, with an aggressive aura hidden in his kind tone, "Dad, this is Zhong Lin."

He was so serious, which made Zeng Yongqing next to him a little curious, which family's young master is it?Never heard of it?

"Zhong Lin, right? It's been a lot of hard work for such a long trip." Yan Tingxiang waited until the smile in Yan Zhengming's eyes was about to disappear before he opened his mouth.

"Dong Yan, you are being polite."

Although he could see the reluctance in Yan Tingxiang's eyes, Zhong Lin was still surprised at his compromise.

Only then did Yan Zhengming turn his gaze to Yan Sicheng: "Zhong Lin prepared a birthday present for you, and I asked Aunt Lin to put it in your room."

Yan Sicheng is Xiaosan's son, also surnamed Yan, not to mention that Yan Tingxiang dotes on him so much, without his permission, servants can't casually enter his room.

Not to mention that Zhong Lin's gift is not very expensive, even if it is a rare treasure, there is no need to put it in the room immediately!

What's more, other people also gave gifts.

Zhong Lin was helpless, Yan Zhengming brought him back to make trouble for Yan Tingxiang and Yan Sicheng, right?

However, Yan Sicheng is also tolerant, and Zhong Lin is angry for him, his face is still gentle and flattered: "Thank you, Brother Zhong Lin, you are so considerate."

Zhong Lin was so embarrassed: "You're welcome."

"You talk, I'll take Zhong Lin to meet my mother."

After finishing speaking, Yan Zhengming immediately pulled Zhong Lin to turn around, leaving Zeng Yongqing who was confused, Yan Tingxiang who was angry but not voicing, and Yan Sicheng who had become a habit of bearing humiliation and humiliation.

"Yan Zhengming." Zhong Lin broke away from his hand and sighed, "Why are you doing this?"

Although he also hoped that Yan Zhengming's parents would be as reasonable as his mother, but if he really couldn't understand it and could ignore it, he would accept it. After all, being a parent also has difficulties in being a parent, let alone the Yan family. family.

Why do we have to drink water according to the cow?

"I don't want him to agree, but I want to tell him that I don't care whether he agrees with us or not, and I don't care how he spoils his little son, but don't step on my bottom line, you are my bottom line."

Yan Zhengming suddenly lost his voice: "Honey, I need you to stand on the same front as me, and I need your unconditional support, even if my actions on this matter are not understandable."

"I understand." Zhong Lin felt guilty for misunderstanding him, and was also moved and distressed by it. He reached out and touched his face tenderly, "Sorry, I misunderstood you just now."

Yan Zhengming was instantly comforted by him, and wanted to come up to hug him.

Zhong Lin glanced over his shoulder to a person, and reminded him in a low voice, "Your mother is here."

Yan Zhengming turned around and saw Su Xiaowen walking towards them not far away.

Although Su Xiaowen is over fifty years old, she looks less than 40 years old with proper maintenance.

Her temperament cannot be described as "the charm is still there", because her demeanor has the elegance and dignity of a lady, and she also has the confidence and aura of a successful woman. In fact, as long as you are not blind, you can know her face. Zhengming's looks and height follow whoever he wants, I don't know why Yan Tingxiang thinks that Yan Zhengming is like "the old king next door".

"mom."

"Jiang Lian and Zou Huasheng are here, go and say hello." Su Xiaowen said to Zhong Lin with a calm expression, "Come with me."

Yan Zhengming didn't agree: "It's not the first time for them to come here, they can greet themselves, why are you looking for Zhong Lin alone?"

Su Xiaowen was not angry either, she stared at him quietly for a while, and said, "Such a big man, are you afraid that I will not be able to eat him?"

"That's not sure." Yan Zhengming looked vigilant, "It's not like you haven't done it before."

"You!" Su Xiaowen's self-cultivation repeatedly failed in front of her husband and son.

Zhong Lin was afraid that Yan Zhengming would be confused, so he quickly advised, "Go, I'm fine."

They didn't really force him into a desperate situation a few years ago, and it's impossible to really do anything about him now.

Although there was an unpleasant incident, Zhong Lin was more tolerant towards Su Xiaowen than Yan Tingxiang.

Furthermore, even if Su Xiaowen really wanted to do something, he wasn't afraid of her.

If he hadn't been really tired back then, Su Xiaowen would not have been able to separate them, and the main reason was Yan Zhengming.

Now that Zhong Lin accepted Yan Zhengming, he was naturally prepared in his heart.

Yan Zhengming finally left obediently.

Zhong Lin followed Su Xiaowen to the living room on the second floor of the villa.

Su Xiaowen led the people to sit down at the tea table and asked, "Is it tea or something else?"

Zhong Lin sat down opposite her and said, "Tea is fine."

She made Zhong Lin a cup of tea.

"Thank you." Zhong Lin asked her what she was looking for alone.

But Su Xiaowen ignored him, lowered her head and took out a square red satin brocade bag from the drawer in front of her. The bag was embroidered with complicated patterns with gold thread, and then took the Porsche car key on it and gave it to Zhong Lin pushed over.

"?!"

"Yueyuehong was packaged for you. I picked the car according to Yan Zhengming's preferences. If you don't like it, let him take you to pick it up again."

"?!!!"

Zhong Lin was stunned, what's going on? !
