Rebirth: My dad is too obedient

Chapter 471 Lao Xu's Gift and Request

Xu Chen held Xie Bingran's hand and walked around the house that Brother Bing had just bought.

The apartment is square, simple and practical.

The decoration style of the previous owner was also simple, clean and refreshing.

After turning around, Xu Chen said:
"I'll just replace a few pieces of furniture with new ones and then we can move in."

Xie Bingran pursed her lips and smiled:
"Like it?"

Xu Chen: "I like it, little rich lady."

He showed embarrassment again:
"Compared to this, the broken phone I gave you is really nothing!"

Xie Bingran: "Don't say that, I just want you to sleep well at night."

Xu Chen looked around again and said:
“This is also a very good investment. Real estate in core areas will continue to rise sharply in the next ten years.”

Xu Chen had previously told Xie Bingran not to spend money recklessly because he was afraid that she would be cheated.

But at this moment, buying a house in Shanghai is an investment that is naturally extremely cost-effective.

This place is located in the core area of Yangpu, and there are many universities nearby, such as Tonghai University, Fudan University, and Hucheng Foreign Language University. Naturally, the housing prices are rising steadily.

However, Xu Chen really didn't expect that Brother Bing had such a strong execution ability that he managed to get a house in Shanghai without any noise.

After all, purchasing a property is a major event in life, and most people still need to consider and discuss it carefully.

But Brother Bing did it without any hesitation or procrastination. He just took action and got the job done. He was really bold and direct.

The key is that this house is really suitable in terms of location, layout, decoration and supporting facilities.

The most important thing is that it is just opposite Tonghai University. Xu Chen can walk to the north and south teaching buildings for classes, which is even closer than walking from the dormitory.

"It's a pity that you can't come and stay here often." Xu Chen said.

"I bought it for you."

"Oh……"

Xie Bingran remembered something else: "I also asked Bai Miao to help me order a birthday cake..."

Xu Chen smiled and reached out to pinch Xie Bingran's little nose.

The cake was ordered from a nearby cake shop, and Xu Chen drove Xie Bingran to pick it up.

By the way, I also packed up some exquisite side dishes from a small restaurant on Quyang Road.

……

……

Xu Chen put a candle on the cake, and Xie Bingran picked up the lighter and skillfully lit the flame.

"Happy birthday."

"Happy Valentine's Day."

Turn off the lights in the house, and it becomes quiet and dark.

Xu Chen took Xie Bingran's hand and the four hands overlapped.

"Let's make a wish together."

After a moment, they blew out the candles together.

Whether in the past life or this life, this birthday is filled with joy and happiness for Xu Chen.

Xie Bingran:
"I was going to cook longevity noodles for you, but it seems like it's too late."

Xu Chen: "It's okay. There will be many birthdays in the future. You can cook for me."

Xie Bingran blinked her big eyes and snuggled into Xu Chen's arms like a puppy.

Xu Chen gently stroked the back of his head and said jokingly:

"This has put me under so much pressure that I don't even know what to give you for your birthday this year."

Xie Bingran hugged him tighter:

"You don't have to give me anything, just being by my side is enough..."

Xu Chen: "Okay, then I'll get naked and be by your side."

"..."

……

In the evening, the two drove to school again.

Xu Chen took out a new set of bedding from the cabinet in the dormitory, and then bought a lot of toiletries from the school store.

Now that I have my own "little home", I naturally spend the night here.

The little house is very cozy. It is empty now. I will fill it up slowly after I come back after the New Year.

The previous owner's decoration is still very new, so there is no need for any extra work, just replace the furniture.

When Xie Bingran takes a vacation in the future, the two of them will have a sweet home in Shanghai. In terms of practicality, it is even better than the house in Tiancheng Tiansheng Mansion owned by Bingge.

In this way, the two of them have their own small home in Tiancheng and Hucheng.

happy……

While Xu Chen was taking a shower, Xie Bingran placed a pair of newly bought toothbrushes and toothbrush holders on the washstand. She placed the two toothbrushes head to head and smiled secretly with her lips pursed.

……

Early the next morning.

The two of them cuddled in the warm quilt for a long time before reluctantly parting.

Xu Chen looked at Xie Bingran's watery lips and wondered why she was becoming more kissable.
Xie Bingran's eyes also became watery, and she turned into a pitiful puppy again, nudging herself hard in Xu Chen's arms.

"I'll take you to the school cafeteria to get some breakfast, and then I'll take you to the airport."

"Oh……"

Xie Bingran flew to Beijing early this morning with Director Li Yue.

When we get there, we will go into the CCTV studio to participate in the rehearsal of the Spring Festival Gala.

Xu Chen thought about it and thought that the “Big Pants” should not have been built in early 07, right?

Then it is still the old CCTV on the road to revival...

Xu Chen flew back to Tiancheng today to celebrate New Year's Eve in advance with his father Xu Zhiquan.

On New Year's Eve, I have to fly to Beijing and then bring the dog back to Tiancheng to celebrate the New Year.

Although it sounds like a tiring journey, Xu Chen is still very happy.

……

An hour and a half later, Pudong Airport.

At the boarding gate, Xu Chen handed Xie Bingran back to Director Li Yue.

Director Li Yue still greeted "Mr. Xu" warmly and politely, and said with a smile:

"We will soon be able to see Brother Bing on CCTV on New Year's Eve."

Xu Chen complained jokingly:

"It's a pity that Director Li Yue didn't get me a ticket for the Spring Festival Gala, and I couldn't go to CCTV to watch it in person."

Li Yue looked embarrassed:

"It's really hard to get the audience seats for this year's Spring Festival Gala...

I have to apologize to Mr. Xu for this matter!"

Xu Chen: "Don't mind me, Director Li Yue. I was just joking with you."

……

……

The twenty-eighth day of the lunar year, at home in Tiancheng.

Xu Chen slept until noon and when he got up, he went to the restaurant to find another sumptuous breakfast left by his father.

Xu Zhiquan and the fourth brother Xu Zhilin returned to their hometown village early in the morning, saying that they had some elders there whom they wanted to visit in advance for the New Year holiday.

Ever since Lao Xu became a "famous entrepreneur" in Tiancheng, his hometown village has suddenly become lively. Relatives from near and far who had not been in contact for a long time also came to get close. The village chief also wanted to invite Lao Xu back to "entertain" him, and it was obvious that he had some purpose.

Lao Xu still donated some money to the village, helped repair the main road into the village, and renovated the village primary school.

In fact, it doesn't cost much, but it can still buy some good reputation. Lao Xu naturally doesn't care about these, but after all, he still has layers of social relationships with neighbors and cannot be completely immune.

In addition, the graves of Xu Chen’s grandparents and mother are still in the village, and they ultimately need some real reputation and protection.

Xu Zhiquan built the road for the village and became a "big shot" in the village. The village committee then said they wanted to erect a "monument of merit" for the Xu family, but Old Xu naturally blocked it.

Although Lao Xu likes excitement and grandeur, erecting a monument is still too high-profile and will inevitably attract jealousy or even inexplicable trouble, so it is definitely not something that should be done.

……

Xu Chen was chewing a fried dough stick and reading the messages in the company group.

The company in Shanghai is also on holiday today. Sister Fei and the others have packed up and left one after another, and are happily discussing their respective holiday arrangements for the Spring Festival in the group.

The person who was in charge of finishing and checking the water and electricity in the office was Miss Nana from the Administration Department. She was conscientious and responsible. After checking everything and clearing the garbage, she took a few photos of the office and posted them to the group.

[Thank you for your hard work, Nana! ] Xu Chen replied in the group.

Nana: [On the first day of the Lunar New Year, I came to the company to post Spring Festival couplets! ]

Nana's home is in Shanghai, which happens to be not far from the company.

She also wanted to come to the company to post Spring Festival couplets. She is a very reliable and responsible girl.

……

After dinner, Xu Chen drove to the Morning Breeze Park.

Just because an "important person" is coming to visit this afternoon.

……

As soon as Xu Chen drove the car into the park, he saw Sister Fang Jun standing alone downstairs of the comprehensive building from afar.

In the direction Fang Jun was looking, Wu Feifei was riding a Morning Breeze electric bike, circling in the yard with an excited and happy look on her face.

Today, Wu Feifei came to the park to play with Sister Fang Jun and also visited the park.

Xu Chen parked the car, got out, and walked to the side of Fang Jun's sister.

Wu Feifei has already come over on her electric bike:
“This is so much fun!”

Xu Chen: "Didn't I also give you one in Shanghai?"

Wu Feifei: "There are so many people in the school and the roads are so narrow, I don't dare to ride properly!
It’s not like your park is so spacious, I can ride anywhere I want!”

The park is indeed empty now. The entire production department started its annual holiday yesterday, and a lot of people were indeed missing in an instant.

In the afternoon, Xu Chen and Fang Jun took Miss Wu on a thorough tour of the park.

Of course, it was mainly Sister Fang Jun who acted as the tour guide. In fact, Mr. Xu was not very familiar with many places in the park.

A few people also drove to the new park under construction in the north to take a look. Wu Feifei was very surprised:

"Xu Chen, your company is so big!"

Xu Chen half-jokingly said, "I should be grateful for the city's support and thank the leaders for their cultivation and trust..."

Wu Feifei was speechless:
"Don't talk to me in an official tone. I'm most afraid of hearing official tone."

Xu Chen: “…”

After visiting the park, Wu Feifei insisted on going to see Brother Bing’s house first.

Before Xu Chen replied, Wu Feifei took out her phone and said:
"I have to talk to Brother Bing first."

As she spoke, she had already typed out a message and received a reply from Brother Bing, then she smiled triumphantly at Xu Chen:
"Brother Bing asked me to go and see!"...

Tiansheng Mansion.

Fang Jun took Wu Feifei around the house. Wu Feifei looked excited:
"This is much bigger than I thought! It feels like it's about 140 to 150 square meters, right?"

"The decoration style is also very cool. It feels very suitable for Brother Bing."

After turning around a few times, she revealed a trace of distress:
"I wanted to give you a piece of furniture or home appliance, but it seems like you've already bought them all!"

Xu Chen: "Miss Wu is so thoughtful! You don't have to give us anything."

Wu Feifei thought for a while and said, "It seems that there are still some ornaments and decorations missing. Then I will pick one for Brother Bing!"

She looked at Xu Chen again: "Will Brother Bing come back for the New Year? Let's have a dinner at your new home!"

Xu Chen: "Okay! Brother Bing will come back to stay for a few days, but it has to be after the first day of the new year."

Wu Feifei: “Great!”

Fang Jun: "I'm here too."

Xu Chen: "How come you missed Sister Fang Jun?"

……

……

New Year's Eve.

At three o'clock in the evening, Lao Xu put on an apron and started preparing the "New Year's Eve dinner".

Tomorrow is New Year's Eve, but Xu Chen has to fly to Beijing to pick up Xie Bingran and bring him back to Tiancheng, so Old Xu wants to have a New Year's Eve dinner with his son in advance.

When Xu Chen went downstairs and saw his father Xu Zhiquan busying himself, he washed his hands and came over to help.

"You go watch TV, Daddy can handle this!"

Xu Chen had already picked up the fish pieces that needed to be coated with starch: "Dad, let's do it together."

Lao Xu smiled heartily: "Come drink with me later."

Xu Chen: “Okay!”

……

The table was filled with food and wine, but there were only the father and his son.

It has nothing to do with extravagance. It’s just that eating and drinking to one’s heart’s content during the New Year holidays is the right time to enjoy the atmosphere.

Old Xu is a man who lived through hard times. When he was Xu Chen’s age, the whole family could only have a proper meal of meat during the Chinese New Year, so the “New Year’s Eve dinner” was always particularly solemn.

Even six months in advance, the brothers and sisters began to look forward to this meal...

Old Xu opened a bottle of wine, and Xu Chen took the wine dispenser and filled two glasses.

The father and son clinked their glasses, and Lao Xu smiled and said:
"Today is also a make-up birthday for my son!"

Xu Chen: "Thank you, Dad!"

Xu Zhiquan finished the wine in his glass and said:
"Dad prepared a birthday present for you."

Xu Chen looked expectant and curious: "What?"

Xu Zhiquan smiled mysteriously, stood up and went out. When he came back, he handed a document to Xu Chen.

Xu Chen took it and took a look, and it turned out to be an agreement and statement on equity transfer.

"I have arranged for all the shares of Lifeng Shoes to be transferred to your name. There are still some formalities to go, Fang Jun and Si Daqing are handling them, and they will be completed after the New Year."

"This way, the company 'Ranbing Sports' and the shares of 'Lifeng Shoes' will be completely under your name.

This is better. If Burning Ice, Dongchen and Chenfeng make some separation, we can avoid some risks in case of emergencies in the future. "

"Also, Fang Jun showed me the year-end financial summary. All the money you made from Dongchen Advertising was invested in Ranbing Sports. It was quite hard work.

There is still a stable income from 'Lifeng Shoes'.

While Ranbing Sports is still losing money, Lifeng Shoes is actually making money with Ranbing's orders, and the equity dividends by the end of the year are not small. The profit dividends from Lifeng will also help you share some of Ranbing's financial pressure."

Lao Xu paused, smiled and said:

"Dad doesn't want you to work too hard, just take it easy."

Xu Chen opened his mouth to say something, but in the end he didn't. Instead, he filled another glass of wine for his father.

Lao Xu smiled heartily, picked up the wine glass and drank it all.

……

The TV in the living room was on, broadcasting variety shows during the Spring Festival.

During the commercial break, Xu Chen heard a noise and turned to look at the TV.

"Head & Shoulders, help me win cleanly and beautifully..."

I didn't expect that Xie Bingran's Head & Shoulders ad would be released before the New Year's Eve. P&G's execution was amazing.

Xu Zhiquan also stared at it carefully and said with a smile:

"Ran Ran, this advertisement was not made by my son, was it?"

Xu Chen: "Yes, it was done by Dongchen Advertising."

Xu Zhiquan looked proud: "My son is really amazing! The commercials he shot can even be broadcast on CCTV!"

He took another sip of wine and continued, "Ran Ran is even better than you. She will be on the Spring Festival Gala tomorrow."

Lao Xu suddenly remembered something and said:

"Can your advertising company help me with a project?"

Xu Chen: "Sure, what project?"

Xu Zhiquan seemed to think about it.

He didn't rush to speak, but lit a cigarette and thought for a while before speaking:

"This is a serious matter. If you can get the project done, you may be able to get Guo Liang's big distributor as well."

Xu Chen: "Oh? It sounds like a big deal."

Xu Zhiquan: "The project should not be too big, but the people and things involved behind it are related to the largest electric car dealer in the north, 'Da Tuo Motors'.

If my son can handle it, it will be a big help.”
