Chapter 71 Growth 3

"Now it's like when I was an undergraduate, I made a surprise attack before the exam." Ting Shuang took notes on the laptop, "I actually took "Economic Management" and "International Business Law" as an elective. I thought I would use it in the future, but I just learned It's very superficial, I don't remember much now..."

His voice gradually weakened, he stared at the computer screen for a long time, and suddenly said, "Fuck."

Bai Changyi: "What's wrong?"

Ting Shuang looked at the words on the screen in shock: "...My mother is still a shareholder of roborun, with 15 shares. After they divorced, my mother never took care of the company, and she didn't even see my father's face. , I thought she sold all the shares to other shareholders at that time... I have to ask her."

He picked up the phone and saw that it was already two in the morning: "She must be asleep now, let's ask during the day."

"You sleep too." Bai Changyi said, "A little bit of jet lag."

"Well." Ting Shuang closed the computer, walked behind Bai Changyi's chair, leaned over and put his arms around his neck, half flirting and half supervisor, "Dear, how is your project plan written?"

Bai Changyi said: "If you are a boss, you must be the boss who will squeeze employees the most."

"I'm... a juicer." Ting Shuang said in Bai Changyi's ear, "Only the kind you can use."

Having said that, he walked around in front of Bai Changyi and sat on Bai Changyi's lap.

The two embraced, followed by a long kiss, and then went to bed together.

Did not do more.

Ting Shuang had a thread hanging in her heart, and the other end of the thread was hanging on Zhu Ao in the hospital. Of course, Bai Changyi understood this.

When Ting Shuang woke up the next morning, she found that Bai Changyi was already working.

He didn't speak, just sat on the bed and looked at Bai Changyi.

"Come over for breakfast." Bai Changyi glanced at him, then turned his eyes back to the computer screen, "There are xiaolongbao, siomai, fried dough sticks and soy milk. They are all hot. If you don't want to eat, there are other things downstairs."

Ting Shuang walked over, without brushing her teeth, she just picked up a xiao long bao and stuffed it into her mouth, the fragrance overflowing immediately.

Food and happiness are one taste.

"Why do I always feel like this when I'm with you... just... I wake up every day looking forward to the day that just started." He kissed Bai Changyi with the oily mouth after eating the xiaolongbao, He took another fritter in his mouth and went to draw the curtains, "Do you understand this feeling?"

The morning light hit his face, covering his arms, chest, legs, and bare insteps.

The room is bright.

He sat on the windowsill, nibbled on the fried dough sticks, looked at the pedestrians and vehicles downstairs, and then turned to look at Bai Changyi who was working: "Just, I feel very strongly... alive."

Like sunshine, like summer, like endless weeds, flourishing year after year.

Bai Changyi looked up at Ting Shuang: "I understand."

Tingshuang smiled at Bai Changyi, then looked out the window again.

After eating, he called Ting Yun and told her what had happened in the past few days, and asked her to have lunch together.

"Ah." He remembered after hanging up, forgetting to ask Bai Changyi's opinion, "Do you want to go with me?"

"Look at you." Bai Changyi said.

"I want you to go." Ting Shuang said, "don't worry, my mother won't treat you like my father. My relationship with my mother...how to say, it's not very like mother and son. Because I'm not with her growing up..."

When Ting Yun and Zhu Ao divorced, Ting Shuang was still very young. He didn't see Ting Yun for a long time, so he kind of forgot her appearance. When Ting Yun came to see him for the first time after the divorce, she took him to the amusement park, and Ting Yun went to buy him ice cream. Mother.

"She kept laughing at me about this." Ting Shuang told Bai Changyi about it, and she felt funny when she talked about it, "so I didn't call her mother later, I called her Ms. Tingyun."

And Ms. Tingyun called Tingshuang: "Mr. Xiaoting."

Like meeting an old friend.

Ting Shuang came up to hug her, and then introduced Bai Changyi: "This is mine... um."

That "um" seems to have infinite meanings.

"Mr. Xiao Ting has a high vision." Ting Yun laughed and teased Ting Shuang, and went to shake hands with Bai Changyi.

Afterwards, she treated Bai Changyi like a good friend's boyfriend, without curiosity, without asking about anything, and keeping a proper distance politely.

Entering the private room and ordering good dishes, Ting Shuang added tea to Ting Yun and said, "I'm going to visit my dad this afternoon."

"Yeah." Ting Yun responded.

"Do you want to go with me?" Ting Shuang asked.

"No." Ting Yun smiled and spoke directly, "I don't want him to die, but it's far from 'I want to see him'. Well, Mr. Xiao Ting, let's get down to business, do you want What am I doing?"

"That's fine." Ting Shuang went straight to the point, "I also said on the phone that Roborun has an extraordinary shareholders meeting on Monday, and you are also a shareholder. Didn't they notify you?"

"No." Ting Yun took a sip of tea, "I told Zhu Ao twenty years ago, don't ask me about the company, just pay the dividends to my account."

Ting Shuang thought for a while and asked, "Then did you have any written agreement at that time? For example, you allowed them to hold shareholders' meetings without your knowledge, or to revise the company's articles of association... and so on."

"No, I just said it verbally." Ting Yun recalled, "Twenty years ago, roborun didn't develop into what it is now. At that time, some small private enterprises did things in a very primitive way. I remember that the company even had the legal department at that time. nothing."

The situation is favorable.

Ting Shuang took out the power of attorney prepared in the morning and handed it to Ting Yun: "Then, can you temporarily entrust me to exercise some of the shareholders' rights on your behalf?"

She browsed through the power of attorney and signed at the end: "You are still in school, and I haven't talked to you about this. In fact, these will all be yours in the future. I have invested in the previous dividends for you, and most of them will be yours. It is real estate, ready to be transferred to your name after you have a single independent household."

"Ah?" Ting Shuang pointed at himself, "give it to me? Then what will you do?"

He has always been afraid that Tingyun will not live well.

"What should I do?" Ting Yun laughed, "These were originally intended for you."

"But I have the ability to support myself," Tingshuang said.

"I know, you've never worried me. But..." Ting Yun thought for a while, "It's not the same with intergenerational accumulation. Zhu Ao and I started from scratch, so we had a lot less choices at the time."

After a few chats, the dishes came, and everyone had a cup of chicken soup with red dates and longan.

"The signature of this house." Ting Yun said with a smile, "I think you rarely drink this kind of food in Germany, try it."

"Okay..." Ting Shuang picked up the spoon and stirred the soup.

He doesn't eat red dates.

Bai Changyi didn't say anything, just drank Ting Shuang's soup without a trace while chatting.

In the second half of the meal, Ting Yun answered a phone call, and Ting Shuang vaguely heard a little girl calling her mother on the phone, Ting Yun coaxed softly, like a melting ball: "Mom just Come back, play with your sister first, and mom is buying you ice cream."

Ting Shuang felt that Ting Yun should want to go home as soon as possible, so when she hung up the phone, he said, "You guys eat first. There is a supermarket next to me. I'll go buy ice cream. I know what children like to eat."

After speaking, he stood up, kissed Bai Changyi's lips habitually, and said in a low voice, "Baby, settle the bill."

After Ting Yun left, Ting Shuang stood on the side of the road for a while.

"Do you want to eat ice cream?" Bai Changyi said.

"Go and buy it. The happy child on the phone will have eight boxes of ice cream soon. I have more than her." Ting Shuang said.

"Okay." Bai Changyi smiled.

In the end, only bought one box because there was nowhere to put it.

Ting Shuang was sitting in the car digging for ice cream to eat, and the car drove to the hospital.

They arrived at the gate of the ICU at 2:30, waited for it to arrive at 3:00, and went in to visit.

Ting Shuang did not let Bai Changyi accompany her.

He has a lot to say to Zhu Ao alone. Some secret words that he didn't even want to say to himself, he decided to silently squat beside Zhu Ao's bed and speak.

"dad."

Ting Shuang is wearing a mask, only her eyes are exposed.

"We don't seem to have talked much about our hearts, right. It's a miserable thing to be a man. If you say a few more words in your heart, people will say your girls are chirping."

He pulled the corner of his mouth, covered by a mask, so he couldn't tell he was smiling.

"I've thought about it a lot in the past two days, more than in the past 20 years. You know, when I stood at the door of icu yesterday, my aunt told me that when I was so angry with you, I hated it for a moment. I am gay.

"At that moment...I felt guilty.

"The kind of sin that can't be washed away in this life."

When he said this, he lowered his head, not daring to look at Zhu Ao's pale and aging face.

"At that moment, a parallel time and space appeared in my mind. In that parallel time and space, I was not gay. I married a wife and gave birth to many children. You are not lying here. You are a grandfather, and you are happy."

His hand trembled, subconsciously wanting to touch the cigarette.

"No smoking here." He sniffed and smiled again, "and I've decided to quit smoking, too. I want to live longer, and, I don't want... secondhand smoke. He's still with me. Smoke, now I can't see him smoking. You wake up later, don't smoke anymore, what's the point of smoking that thing? Woke up in the morning with a sore throat. No taste in the mouth, a lollipop is also good, No shame."

"I finished reading the "Company Law" last night and this morning. I also read..." Although Zhu Ao couldn't hear anything, even though there was no one else in the room, Ting Shuang's voice was still lower, with a low voice. Mosquito Yin, "I also read "The Law of Succession"... when he didn't know it. Am I being mean?"

A tear hit the isolation gown, and Ting Shuang quickly wiped it off with her hands.

"I hope it doesn't work...I hope it never works."

After being silent for a long time, he put on a deliberately relaxed tone: "What should I do, Dad, I'm not the kind of son you want the most. But...you're not a particularly good father, are you? Otherwise... After that, if we make do with it, we will be father and son for a few more decades, and no one should dislike anyone."

Zhu Ao's eyelids moved invisibly.
