C211 That Was a Long Time ago
In the end, Chen Zhenghe didn't tell him the reason. He only told Chen Qingchuan to do his job well and not let down the trust of his grandfather.
Chen Qingchuan wanted to ask him for clarification, but Chen Zhenghe didn't leave any explanation. He chose to leave.
After Chen Zhenghe left, Chen Qingchuan called Great-Grandfather.
If he could not get an answer from Second Uncle, he believed that he would get an answer from Great-Grandfather.
Great-Grandfather definitely knew the reason why he knew his son better than his father.
Sure enough, after Chen Qingchuan called, Great-Grandfather said, "I know about this."
Great-Grandfather Fang knew the inside story of the matter, but he didn't tell Chen Qingchuan the specific reason. No matter how Chen Qingchuan asked, it was useless. Even Great-Grandfather Fang's words were similar to what Chen Zhenghe had said. All he had to do was to instruct him to do his work properly and not worry about other things.
This made Chen Qingchuan surprised. He had no idea what was going on here.
After ending the call with Great-Grandfather, Chen Qingchuan called Zhao Hongwu on the video call.
Zhao Hongwu knew about the Chen family, so Chen Qingchuan could only discuss it with her.
When Zhao Hongwu found out about this matter, she was silent for a while. Finally, she said, "Do you think it might be because of the heir? After all, Second Uncle is the son, but you are the grandson of the next generation. Did passing the son to the grandson make Second Uncle lose face? "
It was not that Chen Qingchuan had never guessed this possibility, but he felt that it shouldn't be!
"Back then, when Great-Grandfather Fang was talking about this matter within the family, Second Uncle was the one who supported me with all his might. At that time, I even said that Second Uncle would be the successor, but Second Uncle insisted that I be the successor. If he left Daming Group because of this reason, wouldn't it be a contradiction? Besides, it's just the identity of the heir. I don't care at all. "
Indeed, Chen Qingchuan attached more importance to family. He didn't want his relatives to become enemies because of the identity of the heir.
When Zhao Hongwu heard this, she also started to make trouble on the other side of the phone. She did not understand why.
In the end, the two of them did not come to a conclusion. Chen Qingchuan could only take one step at a time and watch what Second Uncle did as he walked.
It was just that in the following week, he did not hear anything. According to his understanding, his second uncle seemed to be very relaxed after he left the group. Today he went to see the mountains and tomorrow he went to play with water. It was as if he had completely indulged himself. He wanted to be a second generation ancestor who wanted to play with the water, but this was completely different from what Chen Qingchuan remembered of Second Uncle.
In his impression, his second uncle was a very outstanding person. Although his talent might not be that high, he was conscientious and very motivated. It could be said that he was more serious about his work than Chen Qingchuan.
Would such a person completely separate himself from the Daming Group and be indulged in the mountains and rivers? Why didn't Chen Qingchuan believe it?
It was just that Chen Zhenghe had done the same thing, causing Chen Qingchuan to be confused.
However, there was no way to investigate the inside story of this matter. Great-Grandfather and Second Uncle were unwilling to tell him, so he had no choice but to wait.
He believed that after a certain period of time, the real reason for Second Uncle to withdraw from Daming Group would naturally be revealed.
Another two weeks passed, and Chen Qingchuan still did not wait for the true reason for Chen Zhenghe's withdrawal from the Daming Group. However, there was another thing that he waited for - the arrival of the The Hans.
The The Hans had come again. After two months of free time, they had come to find their daughter again.
This time, it wasn't Han Shuang or Sun Lu who came. It was one of Su Xue's closest relatives, her biological mother, Lee Xiaomei.
Lee Xiaomei's arrival was obviously carefully calculated because she did not go to find Su Xue but first went to find Chen Qingchuan.
On this day, Chen Qingchuan was in the office calculating the development plans of the branch when Wu Qianqian brought people in.
Wu Qianqian did not even need to make an introduction. When Chen Qingchuan saw Lee Xiaomei the first time, he guessed that it was Su Xue's mother.
The reason was very simple. This woman looked very similar to Su Xue. They were practically carved from the same mold, but she was a little older. After all, she was already in her forties and had more charm. Just like Su Xue twenty years later.
Sure enough, after Lee Xiaomei introduced herself, her identity was confirmed.
Since she was Su Xue's mother, Chen Qingchuan naturally had to greet her properly.
Under his warm hospitality, Lee Xiaomei also landed on the sofa with a smile and started chatting with Chen Qingchuan.
"I have heard Han Shuang talk about you before and Sun Lu talk about you. I also heard about you from Su Xue's father. Each of them gave you different evaluations. It makes me feel that you are a very diverse person. Until today, when we meet, I feel that I have already confirmed it. Only after every one of us kneads the angle together will you be complete. That's what I'm looking at right now. "
Chen Qingchuan smiled, not knowing how to continue this topic.
Fortunately, Lee Xiaomei did not seem to need him to specifically answer this topic and did not intend to continue.
After that, she straightforwardly brought up the purpose of her visit. "I came today as long as I want to ask you a favor."
Chen Qingchuan waved his hand. "Auntie, don't say that. If there's anything you need, just tell me. As long as I can do it."
Lee Xiaomei obviously liked Chen Qingchuan's attitude. Then she smiled and said, "Before that, I want to tell you a story. Actually, calling it a story might not be accurate. It should be more appropriate to use experience to describe it."
After that, Lee Xiaomei began to talk about what happened in the past with Chen Qingchuan.
When she met Han Shaozong in the past, Han Shaozong actually had a marriage partner. However, this marriage partner was not someone Han Shaozong liked. It was someone introduced by his family. The motive was simple. It was because the other party had a family relationship and could help Han Shaozong.
But Han Shaozong insisted on not being willing, so he was always with Lee Xiaomei.
Later, Lee Xiaomei, who was with Han Shaozong, became pregnant. At that time, Su Xue was in her womb.
Initially, he thought that since Lee Xiaomei was pregnant, the family would definitely agree to let her enter the house. However, Han Shaozong clearly underestimated the power of his family. In their words, "Not to mention Lee Xiaomei is pregnant, she just added eight or ten children to the family. Don't even think about entering the house!"
It was very obvious that they hated Han Shaozong for giving up the marriage arranged by his family because of Lee Xiaomei.
Han Shaozong was furious at that time and was ready to break off relations with his family. Both parties had already reached a very stiff stage.
Lee Xiaomei also genuinely loved Han Shaozong. In order to not let Han Shaozong fall out with his family because of her, she finally decided to leave alone.
After she left, she was pregnant. Her family members were also very angry and insisted that she abort her marriage.
After all, it was a shameful thing for an unmarried girl to appear with a big belly.
However, Lee Xiaomei clearly could not bear to part with the crystallization of her love with Han Shaozong, so she left the house and lived alone.
Although her life later was bitter, at least she successfully gave birth to the child and raised it for more than half a year.
But one day, her family suddenly came to find her and told her that her father was about to die, so they brought her home.
Indeed, Lee Xiaomei's father was about to die but before he died, he still had a dying wish. He wanted her to give up the child and give it to someone else to raise and let her return home. Otherwise, this old man would not be able to close his eyes even before he died...
