Rebirth: My dad is too obedient

Chapter 20 Taking the bait

Xu Chen smiled:
"Then you have to hurry up. I'm almost graduating from high school."

Xu Zhiquan: "Then how about this, when you go to college, dad will buy you a car!"

Xu Chen said jokingly:
"Mr. Xu, you are a little too proud. You haven't made much money yet."

Xu Zhiquan laughed a few times:

"Son, you don't know.

I'm running errands for the nursery company this week...

Let me tell you this, my dad has already got an idea about the bidding for the seedling project for Chengnan Expressway next month.

Be confident that you can get it!

Although this order is not big, as you said, as long as this business is won, the rest will follow. "

Xu Chen took a breath.

I didn’t expect that Lao Xu’s execution ability is so strong.

In just one week, things have progressed to this extent?!

"Dad, you are really good!"

"My son is the best. He sets the strategy and I am responsible for its execution!"

Xu Zhiquan paused, obviously having something else to say.

"What's wrong?" Xu Chen asked.

"There is something that I need my son to help with."

"whats the matter?"

"It's just... maybe it can be sold as a hue."

Xu Chen: “???!”

Xu Zhiquan laughed a few times and explained:

“For this seedling matter, a leader helped with the connections and assistance.

The leader has a daughter who is also in her senior year of high school, but her grades are not very good.

They heard that my son is in No. 1 Middle School and his grades are very good, so they want you to tutor their little girl. "

Xu Chen was speechless: "You are selling me out!"

Xu Zhiquan smiled and said:

“Don’t put too much pressure on yourself, just go and explain the questions to her, just like meeting a friend.

I was just kidding when I told you that I was selling my body."

Xu Chen was speechless and wanted to refuse.

But when he thought about the family business, he didn't say anything.

Just go over the topic, just fool around...

As he spoke, Xu Zhiquan had already started the car and drove out of the parking lot.

He remembered something else and said:
"I am planning to stop production at our foundry until we finish this batch of goods.

Tomorrow morning, my uncle, fourth uncle, and aunt’s family will all come over.

I will talk about the matter of closing the factory and planting the nursery, and let them make their own choice.”

Xu Chen thought about it and reminded:
"Dad, don't speak too highly of the nursery business, especially since it might win the bid."

Xu Zhiquan smiled:

"Don't worry, Dad knows what's going on.

Just like you said, the purpose this time is to clear out those who are sucking blood from our house.

But after all, we are all family, and Dad can’t just kick them out, so he lets them make their own choice.”

……

The father and son had a simple meal in the city and then drove back to town.

The house at home was built by ourselves back then. It is a two-story building.

Including the small courtyard at the back, the living area is a total of 300 square meters, which is really spacious.

When it was built, it was quite prestigious in the village.

However, in recent years, more and more villagers have built small Western-style houses, and the Xu family’s house is no longer so conspicuous.

After returning home, Xu Chen looked at the spacious country villa and still felt a little emotional.

After my father went bankrupt in my previous life, this house was sold to pay off his debts.

After that, Xu Chen went to college, and his father went south to work and never returned to this former home.

Xu Chen still remembers that when his father in his previous life finally left this family, his eyes were full of desolation and loneliness.

Now that he has been reborn, his father's fate has changed, and he will never abandon this two-story house that carries Xu Chen's childhood memories.

Entering the inner room, Xu Chen saw several stacks of cash on his father's desk, at least tens of thousands of dollars. "Dad, with so much cash on the desk, aren't you afraid of attracting thieves?"

Xu Zhiquan laughed foolishly a few times and quickly put the stacks of money into the safe.

“I was in such a hurry to pick you up that I forgot to put it away.

Aren’t we going to talk to my uncle, my fourth uncle, and my aunt’s family about something tomorrow?

Logically speaking, the three of them also hold shares in our factory, so if a fight really breaks out it will be difficult to resolve.

You still have to pay some money to clear the people out.

If we also put out some money, those who just want to take advantage will be more proactive in withdrawing.”

Xu Chen nodded. There was nothing wrong with his father's arrangement. It was very thoughtful.

This money is indeed worth spending.

Spending money can save you a lot of trouble.

Xu Chen walked to the table and found a pile of color-printed materials on it.

"what is this?"

Xu Zhiquan took a look and said:

"This is the document for bidding at the machinery factory. We have withdrawn from the bidding anyway, so we don't need it now."

Xu Chen seemed to have thought of something and said:

"Give it to me, I'll learn from it."

Xu Zhiquan: "Take it away. The factory is not going to open anymore. I have no use for it."

Xu Chen held the pile of bidding documents, turned around and went upstairs.

Returning to his room on the second floor, Xu Chen looked around and was filled with memories of his youth.

There are posters of Kobe and Bruce Lee on the wall.

In the drawer, there are neatly stacked tapes:

Dou Wei's Black Dream, Jay Chou's Seven-Li Fragrance, Xu Wei's You in the Past, Park Shu's Life is Like a Summer Flower...

Full of memories of youth.

After moving in the previous life, these old items were lost.

Now, seeing it again after twenty years, Xu Chen couldn't help but feel moved.

……

Xu Chen was reading a book alone for a while when suddenly a bright light flashed on the window.

A car stopped in front of the house.

Xu Chen walked to the window and looked down. It was a black Xiali.

I looked at the license plate again and confirmed that the car belonged to my third uncle.

What is Uncle San doing at home in the middle of the night?
Xu Chen thought about it and couldn't help but sneer.

My father Xu Zhiquan withdrew from the bidding for Guangming Machinery Factory, so my third uncle must have been keeping an eye on it.

Last week, Xu Chen revealed the fact that his father had lost the order through his third uncle's son Xu Xiaoyang.

Uncle San never comes to visit you for no reason, it seems he has taken the bait.

I don’t know whether he came to show off his power or to ask for something this time.

Xu Chen thought about it and went downstairs.

When I arrived at the living room, I saw that my uncle had already entered the house, holding a fruit basket in his hand.

"Brother, long time no see, I came to see you."

Xu Zhiquan said expressionlessly:

"Old Third, you are also a rare guest!"

Lao Xu didn't look happy.

After all, when the two brothers divided the family property, they had a very unhappy quarrel, and the third uncle also shamelessly extorted a lot of money and property from them.

Later, in order to grab business, Third Uncle's factory played a lot of tricks on Xu Zhiquan behind his back...

Even if my father Xu Zhiquan is as generous as he is, it is difficult for him to have trust and friendship with my third uncle now.

Uncle San saw Xu Chen and said with a smile:

"Xiaochen has grown so tall!"

Xu Chen put on a very official smile and did not respond.

Xu Zhiquan said:

"Third brother, there's no need for us to beat around the bush. Just tell us what you want to say."

Uncle San put the fruit basket on the table, smiled and said:
"Then I'll get straight to the point. I came here to ask for something."
