You have the right not to speak.

Mother Song Liyu said earnestly, "In business, there are always wins and losses, which is normal! The key is that we have to admit defeat! However, we can't just jump into the same pit stupidly, or we will be smashed to pieces! We have to think of a way, we can climb up with a ladder, or we can pull a big olive rope to hang ourselves up. If that doesn't work, we can still go around it! Can a living person be killed by holding his urine?"

: "If you have no objection, please come and sign the confidentiality agreement, then you can move freely and come back for dinner after 11 o'clock."

At this time, Chen Haihua recalled an interesting incident from his childhood. Once, he and his friends were competing to see who could run the fastest. One of the friends suddenly fell down while running, and the others stopped to laugh at him. Only Chen Haihua did not laugh, but ran to his friend, helped him up, and asked him if he was injured.

Chen Haihua said with emotion: "In fact, life is like a long-distance race. Sometimes we don't have to care about winning or losing. What's more important is the scenery along the way and the people running with you."

After hearing this, everyone fell into deep thought and remained silent for a long time. At this time, the tall and burly Chen Haihua stood up, his face expressionless and his eyes firm.

He picked up the pen gracefully, signed his name on the document, and then turned away without any regrets, with steady and confident steps, as if this was just an insignificant clock-in, as if he was just passing by and leaving his mark. As the protagonist left, others followed suit and signed their names on the documents one after another.

After signing, some people hurried to the bathroom, as if they wanted to escape from this uncomfortable place as soon as possible; others began to look around, admiring the beautiful scenery of Cuiyuan, trying to distract themselves and relieve their inner tension.

The meeting ended in an unpleasant way. In fact, any family meeting involving money is difficult to proceed smoothly. Because in the face of interests, people tend to become sensitive and cautious, and are prone to disagreements and conflicts. This reality is helpless, but unavoidable.

The one who bears the most is usually the head of the sect. In the conference room, only Chen Qingling and his wife and adopted son Chen Di were left. Grandma Dong Xiaoyuan comforted

"It's OK if you act almost right! But don't mess it up! If you really make your precious grandson angry and run away, you won't even have a place to cry! It will be useless even if you regret it! So, just hold back!"

"My wife Ali is right! The practice of robbing Peter to pay Paul will never work! Although it can fool my grandson temporarily, how can it fool him forever? After all, the child is now an adult. If he spends a little time to investigate, he can easily see through our lies. So, don't blindly participate in those so-called disaster relief donations in the future! In my opinion, your debt of 20,000 yuan is the loss caused by the excessive donations."

The head of the factory, Chen Qing Ling, sighed and said, "I won't donate anymore. I've donated enough. I have to take care of the elderly in the factory. They also need to eat."

: "Hua'er has such a stubborn temper! He is exactly the same as me. Maybe it's because we protected him too well, which is why he is so stubborn now. Alas, I am helpless too! After all, I just want to retire early, is there anything wrong with that? I am nearly 70 years old, my energy is not as good as before, and my health is getting worse. I am busy every day and feel exhausted and sleepy!"

Then he said to his adopted son, "Adi, are you sure you can go to Hongxiang Antique Shop to take over the business the day after tomorrow? Then I'll ask them to do an inventory first. You try to manage it for three months. If there is no improvement, sell the shop. The owner of the ceramics has returned to his hometown to develop his business. Now the antique shop will not last long without any more goods to sell."

"Adi, I... we are from the south after all, and we will return to our roots sooner or later. If Haihua can marry the girl from the Wei family, I want to return to Lingnan Town to retire."

Chen Di nodded respectfully and said, "When I have time, I will give Haihua more advice. He just can't get used to it for now, but he will understand his father's good intentions in the future."

"Dad, it's better for you to retire in Kyoto. With your support, we will have the confidence and will not be bullied."

Grandma Dong Xiaoyuan also complained: "Old man, the Dong family can still support you, don't just think about those things that you don't have, and start the factory as soon as possible."

The head of the Chen Qing Ling sighed solemnly and said in a low voice: "I have thought about letting Zi Ye take my place. However, he is the only son and has no sisters. If he encounters an accident, the four young grandchildren of our Chen family will be bullied by others. You should understand the pros and cons of this! The Chen family no longer has extra time to wait for someone to grow up slowly. From now on, the Chen family will not allow any idle people to exist. Everyone must go to the battlefield."

"The old debt of 2 yuan was probably caused by constantly donating here and there! I admit that it was my fault. The new debt of 9500 yuan was man-made..."

Grandma Dong Xiaoyuan said angrily, "We have to sort them out one by one. Anyone would have a lot of thoughts if they were in debt of nearly 3 yuan."

: "Is it so difficult for you to say something nice? Don't scold my grandson again during the dinner party later, or you will be in trouble! If you don't believe me, you can try it!"

Upon seeing this, the head of the sect, Chen Qing Ling, immediately hugged his wife and consoled her, "How dare I? If they really get angry and run away from home, I won't be able to persuade you to come back. So, if I say something I shouldn't, you must scold me immediately so that I can shut up in time."

Grandma Dong Xiaoyuan looked a little better, and said to her adopted son Chen Di in a gentle voice: "Di, Haihua listens to you the most. Please help me call someone and tell them that grandma is waiting for him in the study."

Another quarter of an hour later, in the study, there were several piles of account books on the desk, and the reading column read: "Aiqun Hotel"

When Chen Haihua returned to the east wing, his 49-year-old housekeeper Uncle Zhu Jiang came over to inform the young master that his cousin Zhiwen had received a mysterious phone call and took the fat cat Huihui home saying that he had gone home first and had not even had breakfast, and it seemed that he was in a hurry.

Haihua sighed and asked, "Did he say when he would come again?"

Housekeeper Zhu Jiang shook his head: "He just said he wanted to take Fei Huihui home to get to know the place. I saw him get on a jeep and go back. Don't worry, young master."

Haihua was helpless: "The meeting ended early, so I wanted to let the elders get together, but unfortunately I missed it again."

Haihua walked to the second bedroom. The bed was in a mess. His cousin Zhiwen didn't even have the square quilt that he usually folded. It seemed that he really left in a hurry. He took away the new clothes given by his uncle and folded the quilt casually. Haihua felt a little better.

Chen Qing Ling and his wife looked at their fourth grandson Hai Hua who was sitting on the sofa. Grandpa Chen Qing Ling said gently, "Hua Er, this is all the account books of Ai Qun Hotel. You should learn how to read the accounts when you have time."

He counted out a stack of banknotes from his briefcase, put them on the table, and said to Haihua, "This is the 1000 yuan debt your grandparents helped you pay. You will only owe yuan from now on. Are you happy now?"
