Chapter 437: Resolving Family Conflicts, Pity The Parents’ Hearts
?Making fun of young couples was probably something that everyone liked to do, especially people like Lei Jin and Song Xue, who were nearly together. It felt good to help unveil their true status.
Luo Feng and CEO Cheng echoed each other, and the atmosphere at the dining table became much more relaxed.
Back to the main topic, CEO Cheng said to CEO Cheng Senior, "Dad, look, President Luo has already acknowledged me. What else do you have to say?"
"Hmph." CEO Cheng Senior snorted in disdain. "What can this little bit of cleverness prove? President Luo can see it, which means that he's more meticulous. You actually became more arrogant after he praised you."
In his eyes, Luo Feng was someone else's child.
He was good no matter how one looked at it. However, the one in his house was like a biscuit that had been bitten by a dog. His merits were really not enough.
"You're looking down on me!" CEO Cheng was furious. "When have you ever praised me?!"
"It's all because you didn't do well. Otherwise, I would have praised you!" CEO Cheng Senior was also angry.
"Alright, alright, don't be angry," the person beside him advised.
This father and son had explosive tempers. It seemed difficult to adjust, but Luo Feng knew that as long as he made things clear, it would be fine.
He understood CEO Cheng Senior's worries even though he had never been a father.
When the two of them calmed down, Luo Feng said, "CEO Cheng Senior, you're a good person. I know that it's not that you're worried about CEO Cheng, but you're just worried that he'll cause trouble for others."
CEO Cheng Senior might not have realized the reason for his persistence, but Luo Feng's words enlightened him.
"That's right." CEO Cheng Senior sighed and said, "This child hasn't suffered much since he was young. He's proud and arrogant. If he wanted to cause trouble for his family like this time, I naturally wouldn't say anything. But he cheated you, President Luo. I'm really…"
A burly man covered his face in shame.
Even though CEO Cheng was not convinced, he could not find anything to refute.
Luo Feng looked at the two of them and continued, "You don't have to worry about this. I think CEO Cheng knows his limits. It's just that he can't withstand his youth."
As CEO Cheng Senior listened to more and more explanations, he felt even more ashamed.
Luo Feng was too good. He had been cheated of money and was still willing to help put in a good word for him.
CEO Cheng Senior was used to seeing the coldness of the world. He was a little afraid of Luo Feng's sincerity.
"President Luo, I know you're a good person, but don't put in a good word for him. I'm worried that he'll really take it as a tonic," CEO Cheng Senior said.
The others also felt that it was a little far-fetched. The persuasiveness was too weak.
However, Luo Feng said, "I offered 300 million before we settled on this price of 90 million. CEO Cheng didn't take up the offer at that time."
"What's more, CEO Cheng knows that the price is too high. He also knows that I know. He wants to give his family an explanation other than my persistence. So in the end, we made a deal at 90 million."
CEO Cheng Senior was puzzled. "Explanation to his family?"
"He probably wants to prove that he didn't cause trouble for his family. He can earn back all the money he lost," Luo Feng said.
Everyone understood it now that he had said it.
"Eat, eat. If you don't eat now, the food will get cold." Ai Tingya called out to the others.
Cui Enqiao was already hungry. Her appetite improved after watching this father-son debate. She asked the waiter for a large bowl of rice.
Lei Jin's intentions were exposed. Not only did Song Xue not show any resistance, she even calmly accepted it.
She picked up a bamboo shoot for Lei Jin, who was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth for a long time.
Even CEO Cheng calmed down. He poured himself a glass of baijiu—and took small sips.
Only CEO Cheng Senior still couldn't figure it out. He held a pair of chopsticks in one hand and a bowl in the other, staring at the dishes in front of him without moving.
"Will it work?" Ai Tingya was a little uncertain. "It looks like CEO Cheng Senior is still unwilling."
"Trust me, CEO Cheng Senior is a smart person. He does everything for CEO Cheng's own good. He knows which is the best choice," Luo Feng said.
Working with CEO Cheng was equivalent to working with CEO Cheng Senior.
If both sides joined forces, they would definitely be able to achieve twice the result with half the effort.
CEO Cheng Senior valued his son so much and was very worried. He would definitely use all his resources to support CEO Cheng.
The atmosphere at the table became much more relaxed. Everyone's focus shifted from the father and son to Lei Jin and Song Xue. Then, they talked about Ai Tingya's hard work being pregnant.
When the meal was almost over, CEO Cheng Senior's phone suddenly rang.
He took a look and said to Luo Feng, "I'm sorry, President Luo. There's an urgent matter at the company. I have to return to the company first."
"It's important. Let's meet again next time." Luo Feng stood up to send him off.
CEO Cheng Senior glanced at the motionless CEO Cheng. "Aren't you coming with me?"
"I've already decided to follow President Luo," CEO Cheng said softly. "You don't have to care about me."
"Hmph, do whatever you want."
CEO Cheng Senior's face was ashen as he flicked his sleeves and left. Luo Feng followed him out to send him off.
As soon as he walked out of the private room, CEO Cheng Senior could not hold it in anymore. His straight back was hunched as he kept rubbing the flesh on his face.
"CEO Cheng Senior, are you alright?" Luo Feng asked worriedly. "Is it hypoglycemia?"
"No." CEO Cheng Senior waved his hand.
He turned around and looked at Luo Feng with sincerity in his eyes. "There are some things that I can't say just now… President Luo, I want to confirm if what you said just now is true?"
Luo Feng said, "Of course it's true. I never lie."
"Then… I'll leave my disappointing son to you." CEO Cheng Senior was a little embarrassed. "But please forgive him. Don't only look at how tall he is. He doesn't know much."
It sounded a little awkward. What Luo Feng wanted was the resources behind CEO Cheng.
CEO Cheng Senior's request made Luo Feng at a loss.
CEO Cheng Senior added, "I won't contact him for the next two days and leave him hanging. If he needs anything in the future, you can inform him and tell him to come back and look for me."
He was still soft-hearted as a father even though he was ruthless in business.
Luo Feng smiled. "Don't worry, I'll convey the message truthfully. However, I think it's better for you to tell him personally. I believe CEO Cheng will definitely understand your good intentions."
"Forget it, forget it." CEO Cheng Senior smiled bitterly and shook his head. "It's been so many years. I'm really not good at this kind of thing."
Some people were very strange. He would not think twice before shedding his own blood, but crying would kill him.
Luo Feng did not understand in the past. He did not understand why he could not speak properly.
He understood a little now that he was about to become a father.
Perhaps this was implicit love, concentrating everything into action and didn't know how to describe it.
Luo Feng was touched, but he felt that this method could be improved. It could reduce many conflicts if it was explained clearly.
"Don't worry if he's with me." Luo Feng thought for a moment and said, "Our company has a rule to call the family every two days. Every employee has to strictly abide by this, so when he calls you, don't find it annoying when that happens, okay?"
CEO Cheng Senior paused for a moment and smiled. "President Luo, you're really a very good person."
