Time Travel: The Queen's Coronation

I was still watching cartoons with my child in the living room when Xiao Yuan came to me in a hurry. I was very surprised.

"No, why are you here?"

“I took the next flight.”

"It must be something serious that made you come here so anxiously. Tell me."

"Where's Zixuan?"

"He was busy with a project and left early."

"My dad might come looking for you soon. I've already had a showdown with him, and so have my brothers. We're fed up with his belittling and control. We are independent people! We're not stepping stones for my big brother! We should also have our own careers instead of sacrificing our lives for my big brother and Fang Chuan!"

"That's great! Let him see that you are not just submissive, but also capable of resistance. Let him reflect on himself."

"There's no way he'll reflect on this. He's a dictator and a tyrant! He'll definitely blame you for our showdown this time, thinking you've tricked us into fighting among our brothers so he can take advantage of the situation."

"I don't care what he thinks, and I'm not afraid of him"

"Are you really sure?"

"No, you've already laid your cards on the table, and now you're questioning me?"

"He was so angry I was afraid he was going to eat me!"

"You're already in your thirties, and you're still so afraid of him! This shows he's been a powerful dictator for over thirty years of your life, leaving an indelible shadow on your soul! You're in your thirties and still tremble in fear when facing him! This shows he's a successful businessman, but also a failed father!"

"Don't worry about whether he fails or not, think about how to deal with him next time!"

"You look flustered and scared?"

"What else could he do? He's an old fox who can't be any older. He's very decisive in the business world and never goes back on his word. No one has ever let him suffer such a huge loss in all these years."

"Born in hardship, die in comfort. He needs a sense of crisis. I'm helping him. He should be grateful to me!"

"Don't let him hit you so hard that you can't fight back!"

"You don't trust me that much?"

"He's really scary!"

Xiao Yuan was truly terrified of his father, and it took me a long time to reassure him. I had to send him back to the hotel before he could stop his nagging and harassing my thoughts. In contrast to Xiao Yuan's fear, Rong Zixuan returned home beaming with joy.

"What good thing happened?" I asked curiously at Rong Zixuan's smile.

"Wife! Our project has been signed! It's been almost a year, and it's finally open!" Rong Zixuan said with relief.

"Not bad! Do a good job!" I patted his shoulder to encourage him.

"That's all?" Rong Zixuan felt aggrieved. "Can't you praise me a little more?"

"Zixuan is the best! Zixuan is the best!"

"So perfunctory!"

"You are riding high on the spring breeze, but here I am facing a dark cloud that threatens to destroy the city!"

"Isn't it something about the Xiao family?"

"Of course! After such a big fuss, we're now ready for a head-on confrontation! Master Xiao is ready to come find me!"

"Ah! When? I have to go out and hide!" Rong Zixuan looked around nervously.

"No, why are you so afraid of him? He's not your father!"

"I looked him up online. He's a very domineering man! And his face is very majestic! He gives people a very strong sense of oppression. Just looking at his photo makes me afraid that he would jump out of the photo and eat me!"

"Is it really that exaggerated? Is he even colder than Xu Jing?"

"Xu Jing is nothing compared to him!"

"Is this true? Don't scare yourself!"

"If you don't believe me, go and watch his interviews and reports yourself! By the way, when will he come? I have to go out and hide!" Rong Zixuan looked outside the door nervously.

"Don't look at me. I don't know when he'll come. Seeing you all so scared actually makes me a little excited!"

"No? A disaster is about to happen, why are you still excited?"

"When two brave men meet on a narrow road, the brave prevails! How do you know it's me who's in big trouble, and not him?"

"He's a veteran who's been in the business world for over a decade. How can a young girl like you, just starting out, compare to him? A lean camel is bigger than a horse!"

"None of you think highly of me. I'll show you what it means to look down on others!"

"Wife, why don't you apologize to him and return the shares to him, so that a big thing can be made into a small one!" Rong Zixuan said softly.

"Why are you getting less courageous as you get older? Before, you could stand in front of me without fear when you met a gunman, but now, just an old man makes you so scared?"

"Before, I was like a newborn calf who was not afraid of a tiger! Now that I have entered society, I have to bow my head!"

"Stop talking! I need to calm down and think of a solution!"

"Then I'm going to go out for a while! I might be back later!"

"Okay, okay! Go ahead, go ahead! Look at how cowardly you are!"

I waited all day, but no one came to my door or called to ask me out. The next few days remained calm, with no new reports from the media and no action from Mr. Xiao. But I had to remain calm and wait and see.

About a week later, I received a strange phone call.

"Hello, President Wei! I'm Fang Chuan's secretary. Our chairman would like to arrange a meeting with you. Is this convenient for you?"

"time and location"

"Tomorrow afternoon at Ouji Restaurant"

"I'm in the United States now, not in Wo Harbor!"

"Can you fly back? We can pay for your airfare and hotel."

"No! Why can't you come to America? You were the ones who asked me out!"

"Our chairman is old, so it might not be convenient for him to fly over. Wouldn't it be more convenient for you as a young man?" I could see that Mr. Xiao was trying to intimidate me!

"Then why don't he just not ask me out if it's inconvenient for him? Can't he wait until I get back?"

"There are some urgent matters that I need to discuss with you now."

"You asked me out, but you want me to accommodate you. That's impossible!" I directly refused the meeting.

"Wei Qing, don't be so arrogant!" Xiao Feng grabbed the phone and shouted.

"Xiao Feng?"

"It's me! My dad wants to see you because he's giving you face! Don't be so shameless!"

"Xiao Feng, you were so polite to me before, and you presented a mature and steady image to the outside world. Why are you so different now on the phone? Are you not pretending anymore?" I deliberately mocked Xiao Feng.

"That depends on who you're dealing with. You and Xiao Yuan worked together to set me up and caused me to lose my shares in Fang Chuan. You also caused Fang Chuan to lose billions. And you still expect me to be polite to you? Dream on!"

"You're already in your forties, can you be more steady? It'll be very awkward to meet again after a falling out!"

"You've caused me such heavy losses, and now you want to teach me a lesson, you ignorant little girl! You'll have your day!"

"You are already over forty years old, and you are still being tricked by me, a man in his twenties. You should reflect on yourself! Is it because you lack the ability? Do you want to gain more experience? Instead of letting your younger brothers be stepping stones for you!" I deliberately provoked Xiao Feng.

"you……"

Xiao Feng was so angry that he couldn't speak, and Old Man Xiao took the phone.

"Wei Qing, come over tomorrow, I have something to tell you," Mr. Xiao said to me in an imperative tone.

"Hey! I'm not in Hegang. If you want to see me, come to America! And I'm not your subordinate or your son. Don't speak to me in that commanding tone! I can't stand it!"

"I told you to come over tomorrow afternoon!" Mr. Xiao's tone the second time was even more chilling, but I didn't tolerate it.

"I also said that I'm not in Hegang. If you want to see me, come to the United States yourself! That's it!" After saying that, I hung up the phone without giving the other party a chance to answer. I will not answer any calls from then on.

"Wife! You won't play with fire and get burned, will you?" Rong Zixuan asked anxiously as he saw the phone kept ringing but I didn't answer any of them.

"This old fox has been treated with pampering for a long time. He must be made to realize that he is old and his time has passed!" I replied with a smile and hung up the phone again.
