Rebirth: My dad is too obedient

Chapter 579 The calf will be reincarnated as a human in its next life
Wu Yongming, Fang Jun...

Xu Zhiquan and Xu Chen looked at each other, speechless for a moment.

The man in front of them, "Frank," who claimed to be Fang Xiao, was actually Fang Jun's older brother.

Xu Chen looked up again at the man who called himself "Fang Xiao".

No wonder I felt a strange sense of familiarity with his fair face and single eyelids when we first met.

If what Fang Xiao in front of me is true.

Wu Yongming is one of their people, Fang Jun is also one of their people, and Wu Feifei and Fang Xiao are engaged...

These facts themselves are already too subversive and terrifying.

Fang Xiao glanced at the Xu family father and son, a mocking smile on his face.

He swirled the wine glass in his hand, and his secretary Vivian stepped forward to refill his glass with a little more brandy.

Fang Xiao took a small sip and said:
Wu Yongming is the person responsible for fertilizing and watering 'Chenfeng Technology'.

And my younger sister, Fang Jun, naturally played an even greater role.

He paused deliberately, then continued:

How did "Guangming Factory" go bankrupt? It was Fang Jun who exposed its financial problems...

Do you really think this is driven by Fang Jun's sense of justice?

"A few financial problems, how could they possibly push an old state-owned factory to bankruptcy in just two or three months?"

He turned to look at Xu Zhiquan:

"You don't really think that someone from a family like my sister's would join a local, nearly bankrupt old Guangming Factory for no reason, do you?"
You certainly don't naively believe that members of the Fang family would willingly work for someone surnamed Xu, do you?!

Fang Xiao lowered his head and smiled, then swirled the wine glass in his hand:
"Only by bankrupting 'Guangming Factory' can we take it over."

However, something went wrong in the middle, and your Xu family appeared with a perfect solution.

After listening to your proposal, I realized that there was a good chance you could take over the 'Guangming Factory'.

So I compromised and gave you five years.

"You and your son are truly amazing. You didn't even need five years; in just two short years, you've made 'Chenfeng Technology' the number one company in the Northern market."

He then flashed a bright and handsome smile:

"We can't let you get any bigger, otherwise it will be hard to swallow you whole."

Everything is just right now; 'Chenfeng Technology' is at the perfect size and hasn't developed to the point of being uncontrollable.

This is the perfect time to swallow 'Morning Breeze'.

He looked at Xu Zhiquan:

"The timing in early March was spot on, wasn't it?"

The payment terms for your debts were all planned out in advance by Fang Jun.

My younger sister has many flaws, but her work ability is absolutely top-notch.

Her carefully planned schedule will not have any mishaps.

Xu Zhiquan frowned and said:

"wrong……

If Fang Jun were truly one of your people, you wouldn't be surprised that I received that 19 billion.

After all, Fang Jun was aware of the source of these funds.

This was naturally a huge loophole, which Xu Zhiquan pointed out in one sentence.

Fang Xiao's expression remained unchanged, still bearing that sunny smile.

He sighed helplessly again and said:

"My disobedient younger sister really didn't tell me about this."

We didn't get along well; we didn't like each other.

There's also some competition within the family. It's been like this since I was little...

There were some things Fang Jun would deliberately keep from me. She wanted to see me make a fool of myself so she could laugh at me later and embarrass me in front of the family.

However, she still knows how to maintain boundaries when it comes to protecting the interests of her family.

She will definitely tell me what she has to say, even if she doesn't want to.

The reason she didn't mention the 19 billion was that she was certain it wouldn't affect the overall situation on my side.

Fang Xiao smiled smugly again:
"That is indeed the case."

"Now that Mr. Xu has repaid the 19 billion ahead of schedule, your situation is actually more passive."

Before Xu Zhiquan could reply, he continued:
"I've said it before, I don't care whether you believe me or not."

Believe it or not, it's up to you.

As he spoke, Fang Xiao stood up.

He raised his hand and took the white golf gloves from his secretary Vivian behind him.

"You have a week to consider it."

Whatever decision you make is up to you.

As for 'Morning Breeze,' it's mine no matter what.

With that, he waved his hand, turned around, and strode away.

Chen Boxin quickly got up and, with a slight bow, escorted her out.

Xu Zhiquan and Xu Chen exchanged a glance, their expressions both unusually solemn.

……

……

That evening, at home in Lanshan Valley.

The father and son sat in the living room. Xu Zhiquan smoked a cigarette, while Xu Chen drank a glass of warm water. Both remained silent.

Li Rui, Fang Tao, and Cheng Yong were originally sleeping here tonight, but when Lao Xu came back, he told them to go back first.

Now that the situation is completely out in the open and the opponent is clear, there is no need to guard against any underhanded tactics.

Inside the enormous villa, only the father and son remained.

……

On the table in front of me was the bottle of "Guojiao 1573 Sealed Collection No. 1" worth 128,800 yuan.

Xu Chen took out his phone and looked at it, then opened the message interface with Fang Jun.

The message I sent to Fang Jun during the day still hasn't received a reply...

Wu Yongming is a man of the "big boss," and his daughter is even married to the "big boss."

And the "big boss" is Fang Jun's older brother, Fang Xiao...

This information was so revolutionary that it was hard for both father and son to believe or accept.

The most fatal problem now is that what Fang Xiao said still seems to have some merit.

However, given that Wu Yongming refused to meet with them and Fang Jun could not be contacted, it seems impossible to verify this.

What made the father and son somewhat fearful was that perhaps "Wu Yongming's refusal to see them" and "Fang Jun's inability to be contacted" were proof of this.

If that's the case...

So, from the moment the Xu family won the bid to acquire the "Guangming Factory," they had already fallen into a trap set by others.

Over the past two years, Chenfeng Technology's development has been smooth sailing, with all its progress going smoothly, thanks to the deliberate "fertilizing and watering" by others.

The opponent's precise sniping is now thanks to Fang Jun, the "god of wealth" who has gained the "unlimited trust" of Xu Zhiquan and Xu Chen.

……

The warm water in Xu Chen's cup had turned ice cold.

He hesitated several times before finally swallowing his words.

The ashtray on the table was already full.

……

Old Xu finished his last cigarette and said:
"Ranran borrowed 19 billion yuan, and we must pay it back to her no matter what."

She said she wasn't in a hurry, but how could she not be in a hurry?

A young girl, and that's 1.9 billion yuan..."

Even at this point, Lao Xu was still worried about Xie Bingran's loan problem.

Xu Chen considered it for a moment, then spoke:
"There is another option."

We're holding on with 'Chenfeng Technology'.

If you really can't hold on any longer, then go through bankruptcy liquidation.

Fang Xiao's case can be dragged on as long as it goes, everything will proceed according to the bankruptcy process, it will just take a while, the existing assets are still valuable, and they can eventually be sold off.

As for Xie Bingran's loan, 'Ranbing Sports' can raise funds to realize its value.

Wang Shi's investment firm, along with other investment firms, had long been eyeing 'Burning Ice'.

The money that Nie Fei and I raised was initially given to Xie Bingran in the form of "shareholder cash-out" so that she could pay off her debts first.

We'll gradually recoup our losses through revenue from 'burning ice' later."

Xu Zhiquan thought for a moment, then shook his head:

"A debt of 1.9 billion is no small amount."

He sighed and then spoke again:

"Putting aside emotional factors, giving 'Chenfeng Technology' to Fang Xiao now would indeed result in the least loss and the greatest gain."

He gave 20 billion, so Ranran's 19 billion is not a problem.

We still have 1 million yuan left. We can invest it all in 'burning ice,' or my son and I can start a new company from scratch."

Xu Chen: "The most crucial question is whether Fang Xiao is lying to us or not..."

Xu Zhiquan frowned and fell silent again.

This is indeed the crux of the problem.

Xu Chen: "If he's just trying to trick us, we'll just have to tough it out."

Wu Yongming and Fang Jun may both have unspeakable difficulties at this moment.

"Once we get through this period, things might take a turn for the better." Xu Zhiquan exhaled a breath of stale air and stood up, supporting himself on his knees.

Go to sleep! Think about it again when you wake up!

"Maybe tomorrow we'll hear news about Wu Yongming or Fang Jun!"

……

……

the next day.

Xu Chen got up and came downstairs, only to find that his father, Xu Zhiquan, was no longer home.

Breakfast was laid out on the restaurant table: fried dough sticks, soy milk, and braised beef.

……

In the afternoon, Xu Chen drove himself to the park.

They first went to the "Chairman's Office" on the 8th floor, but did not find Lao Xu.

I wandered into the main conference room and saw Yang Congxin, Guo Liang, Hua Shaojie, and a few others discussing work arrangements after resuming production and work.

It seems that no one in the company knows about Lao Xu's meeting with Fang Xiao yesterday.

When Guo Liang and the others saw "Little Xu," they quickly greeted him warmly with smiles.

"Did Mr. Xu arrive this morning?" Xu Chen asked.

Guo Liang: "President Xu just arrived at the company and it seems he went to the finance office."

Xu Chen: "Okay!"

……

Finance Office.

Xu Chen knocked on the door and then pushed it open halfway.

Sure enough, Xu Zhiquan was inside, talking to Gu Xuewei from the finance department.

Old Xu had a cigarette dangling from his mouth, while Gu Xuewei listened attentively to his boss's instructions.

Xu Zhiquan turned his head and saw Xu Chen, and said with a smile:

"Go to my office and wait for me."

"it is good."

Before leaving, Xu Chen stood at the door and "eavesdropped" for a couple of minutes. It turned out that he was arranging for Gu Xuewei to "take over" several tasks that Fang Jun had previously handled.

The company has relatively sound financial processes and systems. Although Fang Jun has certain financial authority, Xu Zhiquan, as the chairman, also has backup information.

Even if Xu Zhiquan didn't keep a copy of some other key financial transactions, he could still obtain them from the bank.

Therefore, even if Fang Jun cannot be contacted at present, Gu Xuewei can still quickly take over to ensure the normal operation of daily work.

……

Xu Chen had only been sitting in the "Chairman's Office" for a short while when Old Xu came in, smoking a cigarette.

"Come with me for a walk!" Old Xu said.

"OK……"

……

Xu Chen accompanied his father, and they wandered around the "headquarters park" for a long time.

Old Xu had a cigarette dangling from his mouth, his hands behind his back, and remained silent.

Xu Chen followed quietly, knowing that his father was pondering something, and did not interrupt.

"Come with me to the old Guangming factory area for a stroll..." Old Xu said.

"Ah."

The two factory areas are separated by only one road, and it doesn't take much walking to get across.

When he reached the entrance of the "Chenfeng Technology Guangming Park", Xu Zhiquan stopped and stood there for a moment.

He glanced at the newly built gate and said:

"The feng shui of this new gate was checked by someone Fang Jun had."

Old Xu turned around again:
"Actually, the layout of the new park was also designed by Fang Jun by consulting a master."

"But I can't say for sure right now whether it's designed for the Xu family or for her Fang family."

Xu Chen turned around and glanced back, remaining silent.

Looking back now, it's clear that the father and son truly trusted Fang Jun completely.

……

The Guangming factory area was almost deserted.

Xu Zhiquan looked around, seemingly filled with emotion:
When we first came to 'Guangming Factory,' everything was dilapidated.

Look at it now, it looks like it was all newly built!

Xu Zhiquan suddenly stopped walking.

Xu Chen looked up and saw that they had just arrived at the two-story building, Fang Jun's "bar".

Xu Zhiquan turned and left without saying a word.

Xu Chen quickly followed.

……

……

In the evening, Xu Zhiquan called Xu Chen, saying that he wanted to "go home and make dumplings".

Xu Chen was stunned and didn't react, while Xu Zhiquan smiled and led him to the car and opened the trunk.

A refreshing floral fragrance wafted into the air. Xu Chen looked down and saw that it was several large bags of locust flowers.

Old Xu had a cigarette dangling from his mouth:
"Tomorrow is Qingming Festival, and I went to the locust grove to collect this early this morning."

Xu Chen was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but curse himself for being such an unfilial son, having almost forgotten about this matter.

……

……

Early the next morning.

When driving back to his hometown, Xu Chen acted as the driver, while Old Xu sat in the passenger seat, holding freshly cooked dumplings.

I rolled down the car window, and a fresh breeze blew in.

It is now mid-spring, and many flowers in the north are in full bloom, filling the air with a rich and fragrant scent of grass and flowers.

……

At his mother's grave, Xu Chen kowtowed ten times earnestly.

He then left the space to Lao Xu and went to wait in the car.

Xu Zhiquan squatted in front of the grave and smoked a few cigarettes before reluctantly walking back to his car with his hands behind his back.

Xu Chen started the engine, and while fastening his seatbelt, Old Xu muttered something under his breath:
"Are we really going to give up on 'Chenfeng Technology'?"
But the "Chen" in "Chenfeng" is the same as the "Chen" in "Xuchen"...

Xu Chen remained silent, a sense of sadness rising within him.

"Dad, where do you want to go? I'll drive you around."

Xu Zhiquan chuckled and reached out to touch his son's cheek.

Old Xu's phone suddenly rang.

He picked it up and glanced at it, then fell silent again.

"What's wrong?" Xu Chen asked.

Xu Zhiquan sighed and said:
“Your third uncle sent me a message saying that the calf he kept there got sick and died.”

Xu Chen: "Huh?!"

……

……

When the father and son arrived at the old factory area, staff from the town's animal husbandry and veterinary station were helping them with the quarantine registration procedures for the dead dairy cows.

After handing over the work to Zhang Yongqing, the bald man got on his tricycle and left alone.

Zhang Yongqing looked visibly unwell as he walked up to Xu Zhiquan:
"Brother-in-law...it's all my fault, I didn't take good care of him."

Xu Zhiquan raised his hand and patted Zhang Yongqing on the shoulder:

"Life and death are predestined; this calf will be reincarnated as a human in its next life!"

The calf didn't have any infectious diseases; it just had a stomach problem from eating, and it didn't endanger the other cow.

After registering Zhang Yongqing's information, the staff at the animal husbandry and veterinary station, knowing that Zhang had veterinary knowledge, said that he could simply "dispose of the waste himself through a deep, harmless burial."

……

At noon, Zhang Yongqing made two phone calls.

In the afternoon, two tricycles arrived, carrying bleaching powder, quicklime, and the like.

Xu Zhiquan, Xu Chen, Zhang Yongqing, and three of Zhang Yongqing's apprentices found a vacant lot in the planting base behind the factory and worked together to dig a deep pit.

They worked until almost dark before finally burying the short-lived calf.

……

sunset.

Xu Zhiquan was covered in sweat.

He tossed the shovel aside, squatted down on a tree stump, looked at the damp ground that had just been covered, and sighed deeply.

He patted himself down and realized he'd finished his last cigarette...

The afterglow of the setting sun illuminated Old Xu's profile.

Xu Chen was washing his hands at the sink next to him when he stood up and saw his father's somewhat desolate back. He felt an overwhelming sadness welling up in his heart.
