Rebirth of Xiangjiang: Across the World

Chapter 394
On New Year's Eve, the children of the Bao family gathered together.

The six-meter-long Western-style dining table is basically only used once a year, and it is full of people at one time.

Everyone stood around the dining table, waiting for Bao Yugang to take the main seat before they took their seats.

Bao Yugang glanced at the seats, the first person on the left was Su Haiwen, and the first person on the right was Zheng Yaoyang.

According to the normal situation, after he died of illness, Su Haiwen would sit in his place and become the backbone and talker of this big family.

"Do something different this year."

Bao Yugang showed a smile on his face, looked at Su Haiwen and Zheng Yaoyang: "Haiwen, give up your seat, Yaoyang, sit here."

Su Haiwen gave up his position with a smile. Bao Yugang had discussed with him, and he also agreed with his father-in-law's proposal.

The Bao family's family business has been allocated long ago, if he is allowed to sit in this position, it will fall apart in a few years.

The four households of the Bao family have family businesses, and everyone is the chairman of the board. They control one or even several companies, so why should they listen to him.

Although he serves as a director of HSBC, his power is pitiful, and Global Shipping cannot help them.

But Zheng Yaoyang is different, especially raising 189 billion U.S. dollars to start a bank, so that his influence has reached its peak, and even HSBC is afraid.

And because of the particularity of the bank, it can play an important role in almost the entire industry.

If he is allowed to sit in this position, even if Bao Yugang dies of illness in the future, this big family will not be separated.

Everyone present looked at Zheng Yaoyang, he became the next speaker of the Bao family, which was beneficial to everyone.

Bao Peihui blamed and said: "Father, Yangyang is still a child, what's the matter with the adults?"

She is just naive, but not stupid. Sitting there means that she will bear a heavy responsibility.

No matter what she has, the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility. Zheng Yaoyang is so young, and it's not his turn. It's not like the elders in the family are not there, so why should he shoulder the burden.

"It's still because grandpa knows how much he loves me, so it's easy to sit here and pick up food. Everyone sit down, I'm already hungry after so long."

Zheng Yaoyang glanced at his mother, reassuring her, and helped his grandfather into the main seat, and at the same time sat in the seat that should have belonged to Su Haiwen.

His mother's worries were purely superfluous, and no matter where he sat, it would not affect him in the slightest.

In general, people in big families will be embarrassed, mainly because they care about the feelings of relatives, but he has no such worries.

Apart from his parents and grandfather, he only has a little affection for the other three relatives, but not much.

The second phase of the woodpecker project has brought together 178 investors, and now it is nothing more than a few more.

Grandpa didn't know what Zheng Yaoyang was thinking, so he showed a relieved smile: "Everyone sit down, let's serve."

The teachings of the past few years have not been in vain. Finally, Zheng Yaoyang has changed from a lone ranger to a talker who can shoulder the responsibilities of the big family.

The whole family was very happy, but Bao Peihui sulked alone and didn't say a word the whole time.

Zheng Weijian glanced at it and couldn't help sighing.

Knowing his son is more like his father, Zheng Yaoyang's personality, he is too clear, his father-in-law's expectations are doomed to fail.

After the meal, Bao Yugang asked Zheng Yaoyang to push him outside, and asked, "Yaoyang, will you blame grandpa for his decision?"

Zheng Yaoyang smiled wryly: "You should discuss it with me in advance, I almost couldn't react just now."

The only thing that makes him dissatisfied is probably only this point, but facing his grandfather, he really can't get angry.

"I'm worried that you won't agree."

Bao Yugang knew that time was running out, and the family only got together once a year.If he misses this time, his body doesn't know if he can last until the next time.

Zheng Yaoyang was silent for a long time, and said slowly: "I will try my best to maintain this big family, but I will use my own method."

Bao Yugang smiled wryly: "As long as you agree, no matter what method you use, Grandpa probably won't be able to see it."

He could also guess what method Zheng Yaoyang would use, probably putting himself on the opposite side of everyone.

A team needs external threats to be united, and the same is true for a big family.

He may be sorry for Zheng Yaoyang by doing this, but it is the best choice to maintain the harmony of the big family.

Zheng Yaoyang sighed and couldn't say anything more.He can understand that a person who has been selfless all his life should be selfish once before he dies.

In the past few years, my grandfather has helped him too much, and he also treats him wholeheartedly.

Based on this alone, he has no right to blame.

The grandfather and grandson walked around the middle of the mountain until the sky was thundering and lightning, and Zheng Yaoyang pushed his grandfather home.

Grandpa went upstairs to rest, and Zheng Yaoyang saw his father, lingering at the door, as if waiting for him to appear.

Zheng Yaoyang asked curiously, "Dad, what's the matter?"

Zheng Weijian was embarrassed and explained that Bao Peihui felt that the whole family was bullying Zheng Yaoyang just now.

He didn't say a word again, he was a father in vain, and after returning to his room, he became more and more angry and planned to run away from home.

"???"

Zheng Yaoyang was stupefied, he didn't want to care about people of his age still playing this game.

Zheng Weijian held him back: "Don't go, hurry up and put out the fire first, and only you can persuade her."

This mother-son relationship is mutual restraint. In the past, if he made his wife angry, he would ask Zheng Yaoyang to persuade him, and the price would be a lot of pocket money.

And his father's actions also reminded Zheng Yaoyang of his childhood, with a smile on his face: "Then I'll go over and try."

He came to the bedroom where his parents lived and found that Bao Peihui was really packing.

Zheng Yaoyang sat aside and asked with a smile: "Mom, it's almost Chinese New Year, are you going away?"

"You are also heartless."

Bao Peihui was very unhappy, glared at him, and continued to pack his luggage.

Zheng Yaoyang saw the younger sister in the second bedroom, leaning against the crib, looking at him with big round eyes.

Immediately, he came up with a plan. He walked over and hugged his sister, pointed at his mother's behavior, and explained, "Sister, I am very familiar with this plot."

"Let me tell you, the two of them will get divorced next, and then they will keep asking you whether they want to follow mom or dad."

"Big brother didn't have a choice before, but you are lucky, I will give you another choice, and follow me from now on."

Bao accompanied Hui and rushed over, covering her daughter's ears, shy and angry: "Don't tell your sister those messy things."

Zheng Yaoyang smiled all over his face: "Could it be that what I said is not true?"

Bao Peihui laughed angrily, and most of her anger subsided: "Tell me, why did you agree just now?"

"Agree to what? Change seats? That place will indeed be better for serving food."

"Don't smile, I'm asking you seriously."

The smile on Zheng Yaoyang's face remained unchanged: "Grandpa wants me to agree, so I agree."

He embraced his mother's shoulders, and said earnestly, "Perhaps in your eyes, I will always be that child who can't grow up, but others don't think so, including myself."

"Don't worry, they have nothing to do with me, and you don't want grandpa to die with regrets either."

Bao Peihui was silent for a long time, and wanted to say something heartfelt, when he saw Zheng Yaoyang deliberately teasing his daughter with his fingers, as if he would not stop until he made her cry.

The child couldn't bear to be teased at all, his mouth was deflated, and the qi in his dantian had reached his throat, ready to make a sound at any time.

Seeing this scene, Bao Peihui burst into anger, and hurriedly waved her away: "Hurry up, I won't bother with your affairs in the future, so you can do whatever you want."
