Chapter 450: A One Year Covenant
At the door of the villa, after hearing Ning Xiongzheng's "Wait a minute", the three of us turned to look over and looked at each other with surprise on their faces.
Could it be... Ning Xiongzheng is finally willing to give in?
Our family of three walked back to the room and stood in front of Ning Xiongzheng. He supported himself on the chair with one hand and sat upright slightly.
After a moment of silence, he raised his head and looked at me. He stretched out a finger and said to me in a low voice: "Dongli, stop saying that I didn't give you a chance. You know that I value fame and fortune. This cannot be changed. I will give you another year. Within a year, if the total valuation of all your industries is not higher than that of you, but I hope to reach an almost equal level with my Zhongtian Group, I can hand Bingrou to you with confidence. By that time, Zhongtian Group will also belong to you. I will retire sooner or later, and I will gradually get older. If you don't have any strength at all, Zhongtian Group will give you it will be in vain and I can't stand it at all."
"Don't worry, during this year, I will pay attention to your business trends, and I will not suppress you, give you time to work hard."
Ning Xiongzheng glanced at the direction of the door, snorted coldly, and then said, "As for Bingyu and Wang Yuan, Wang Yuan is a jackal. I will not leave a penny to him. In the future, the two of them would better not appear in front of me again, just treat it as if they don't have her daughter... What do you think, Zhou Dongli, do you have the confidence to do it?"
Until now, my mother finally showed a soothing expression on her face. However, Lao Zhou, his personality is just like that, and the expression on her face still has not changed much.
After thinking for a while, I took two steps forward, nodded to Ning Xiongzheng with a smile, and said seriously: "Thank you, Uncle Ning, for giving me the opportunity. I have the confidence to do it and will definitely surpass you!"
"Boy, don't worry, thank me. Let's talk about it if you can surpass me. The size and foundation of Zhongtian Group are not as simple as you think!"
That "small brat" is enough to show that our relationship has finally eased a little bit.
Ning Xiong's political opinion was so firm that his face finally eased a little. After pondering for a while, he looked at the butler A Zhan and gave him a look.
"I've come here, let my aunt prepare lunch, so let's stay and have a meal together."
A Zhan walked forward with a smile and said to Ning Xiongzheng with a respectful tone: "Dong Ning, the luncheon is almost ready, and now you can go to the dining room to prepare for your meal."
"Okay, then go and have a meal."
After Ning Xiongzheng finished speaking, he stood up first and walked towards the dining room. Ning Bingrou walked quickly towards me, showing a relieved smile, and his hands were tightly held with me.
My mother walked to Ning Bingrou and me, looked at us respectively, and said in an encouraging tone: "Dongli, you must work hard next, but don't let your future father-in-law down on your expectations for you."
"Mom, I will work hard even if I don't do it for anyone, so I'm working hard for Bingrou, but for my own future. I can still understand this."
Lao Zhou turned his head and signaled us to follow Ning Xiongzheng's footsteps, "Don't stand here and whisper, go and have a meal together, don't let everyone wait for a long time."
The group came to the dining room to sit down. The nanny was ready for the lunch, and the dishes on the table were served one after another. Ning Xiongzheng also asked A Zhan to open two bottles of treasured red wine. With the accompanying wine, the topics would naturally become more and more.
During the meal, Ning Xiongzheng put down his chopsticks, took out a tissue and wiped his mouth, and looked at Ning Bingrou who was sitting next to me. He hesitated for a moment, and then asked.
"Bingrou, how are your mother... doing recently? Are you doing well?"
Ning Bingrou smiled and poured some red wine for Ning Xiongzheng, while saying, "It's pretty good, and her health is much better than before. My mother is working in an educational institution in the villa and is not tired. She comes from a custodial education institution. She takes care of the children and occasionally goes to classes. It's very relaxing. When she is free, she takes a walk in the villa. Sometimes her mental state is much better than that of our young people."
When he heard Ning Bingrou's words, Ning Xiongzheng finally showed a long-lost smile on his face. He picked up the red wine glass and nodded slowly, and whispered: "That's good, that's good."
"Dad, if you have time, go to the villa and see your mom. During vacation, don't always stay at home by yourself. You can get together more with us."
Ning Xiongzheng actually hesitated for a moment and asked in a tentative tone: "Your mother...will she be willing to see me?"
Ning Bingrou was silent for a while and said patiently: "Although... in the end my mother did not reunite with you, but I know that my mother never regarded you as an outsider. She is at this age and will gradually let go and think about it. If you have time, go over and chat together, have a meal, etc., isn't that good?"
At this point, Ning Xiongzheng pondered for a moment and finally nodded slowly, "Okay, if I have time, I will go over and see your... Bingrou, what about you, are you busy recently? Have you ever thought about coming back to Zhongtian Group to help me? I have paid attention to your business actions and have made great achievements."
Ning Bingrou glanced at me, then whispered to Ning Xiongzheng: "Fortunately, I'm quite busy, but I haven't gotten back to the idea of Zhongtian Group yet. Now I'm building two brands myself, and I don't want to be distracted. Let's take a look after I'm completely on track."
"Okay, the position of the president of Zhongtian Group will always be kept for you. You can always come back whenever you want to."
The father and daughter seemed simple to have a conversation, but the "connotation" in fact is not simple, and I also admire Ning Bingrou's emotional intelligence in my heart.
We all know that Xue Qin and Wang Zan were together later and lived in our Inspur Villa. However, when Ning Bingrou talked to Ning Xiongzheng, she never mentioned the name "Wang Zan". She even talked about it and guided Ning Xiongzheng to come to Inspur Villa more.
In this way, I was undoubtedly assisting me, and the relationship gradually eased and improved, and many things would naturally be much smoother when talking about them.
This luncheon ended at about two o'clock in the afternoon, and then Ning Bingrou followed our car back to Inspur Villa together.
After some turn, the mood was ups and downs like a roller coaster ride. Unexpectedly, I finally "taken a bargain". I don't know whether the change in Ning Xiongzheng's later words were because of the words Lao Zhou said to him later, or because of the "farce" between Ning Bingyu and Wang Yuan in front of him, so his attitude changed.
Maybe, there are all.
This year's appointment was settled. At this moment, I once again became full of confidence and motivation. I really hope that during this year, I will have the "clarification technique" and be more busy with my career.
For ordinary people, no matter how hard you work hard, it is actually difficult to improve greatly in a year. However, if you have a certain amount of assets, there will be great variables and opportunities in a year.
In other words, Ning Xiongzheng was indeed "released" to us in the end. Let's wait and see the one-year appointment!
Chapter completed!
