african diary

The next morning, Ted got up early and asked Xiao Hang to report to the company, and he had to go back to Côte d'Ivoire. After this series of things happened, it would be unreasonable not to go back and report to his father.

"Your father, won't you do anything?" Thinking that Ted's situation in Ouattara's house might not be so optimistic, Xiao Hang was still a little worried.

"It's nothing, he is my father after all, and, it's not as bad as you imagine," Ted paused, "actually, he's not as indifferent to our mother and child as you imagined, sometimes I even feel that father and mother There is still love."

"Love?" Xiao Hang really couldn't think of any true feelings for a romantic man with countless women.

"Maybe everyone's understanding of love is different. At least every time my father returns to the UK, he and my mother are very sweet. In such a few days of getting along, I feel that they only belong to each other."

"I can only say that your mother is very powerful." What kind of strength allows a woman to guard a man alone, waiting for his favor only a few times a year, which made Xiao Hang think of the concubines in the ancient harem.

"She is indeed quite powerful. It should be said that she is absolutely loyal to love." Anna, that is, her own mother, does not live a luxurious and decadent life like most adopted women. Her life is as active as other British housewives Upward, housework, taking care of the son, and participating in various activities with other wives, and she really did her best to cultivate Ted, except that she was very strict with him since she was a child, maybe if she is good enough, she will have more capital in front of her husband Bar.But who can have no shortcomings, this day's little vanity is harmless, at least Anna's hard work has made her grow up happily like other children, and has not become a cynical, drug-addicted, gambling second-generation ancestor.Except for the once or twice a year meeting, Ted was once puzzled by his mother's tolerance for platonic love.In the past, he always thought that his attitude towards love was more like his father, especially after he found out that he liked a man, he didn't have much true love to look forward to, but after meeting Xiao Hang, he felt more and more that he had his mother's love in his bones Bloodline, this kind of persistence makes him a little scared, and he is not ready to tell Xiao Hang yet, the relationship that has been established with great difficulty, now is not the time to put more pressure on him.

"Well, no matter what, the way they live their lives is their own choice. Be careful yourself, and I'm going to report to the company just now." Thinking of how much work he had wasted, Xiao Hang suddenly worried about the manager of the Kenya branch. attitude.

"Well, one more thing," Ted thought for a while, and then added: "At home in Côte d'Ivoire, I may not be able to answer the phone."

"Is there still such a deprivation of communication rights in modern society?" Xiao Hang was obviously dissatisfied.

"My father has always been obsessed with absolute control. He hates the feeling of mobile phones that harass people at any time and break the rules. And when I go back this time, I have to review it." In fact, there is a landline at home, but Ted doesn't want to tell Xiao Hang, after all, the family in Côte d'Ivoire is not his real home, and he doesn't want Xiao Hang to be involved in the sphere of influence of the Ouattara family.

"Okay, go early and come back early."

Manager Yang of the Kenya branch is a mild-looking man in his 30s. Manager Xu had called him to explain to him before, so the imagined dissatisfaction with his long absenteeism did not appear.Manager Yang even appreciated Xiao Hang's love for his compatriots and his generous helping behavior.Coupled with the fact that Xiao Hang offered to live in the company's dormitory, Manager Yang was even happier.The Kenyan company has more staff than Niger, and there are already four people living in the company’s dormitory. If Xiao Hang comes over, he will have to share a room with another person. He offered not to live in the dormitory, which just solved the embarrassment of sharing a house. Privacy is not.

There are quite a lot of China-aided construction projects in Kenya. As an important project contractor, the company has many project sites under construction. Xiao Hang has just arrived in Kenya, and the first thing to do is to get familiar with each project site.In the next few days, I followed Manager Yang and ran through all the main engineering sites, and spent the evening time familiarizing myself with the project information.On the weekend of this day, Xiao Hang was woken up early in the morning by the birdsong in Nairobi and couldn't sleep. When he suddenly got free, he found that his heart was empty, and Ted hadn't contacted him for three days.I checked the flight information on the Internet, and there is a flight from Nairobi to Abidjan today, do you want to go and have a look?Walking up and down the room for the nth time, Xiao Hang finally couldn't stand his own indecision, so he just went, even if he couldn't find Ted, he just went on a trip, Xiao Hang found a perfect place for himself. excuse.

When he rushed to the airport, there was still a ticket, and there was no need to go through any formalities to travel between African Union countries, so Xiao Hang was able to embark on the road of chasing his husband smoothly.

Arriving at Abidjan Airport, just at noon, Xiao Hang hurriedly ate something at the airport, took a taxi and rushed to the location of Ouattara’s family. The address of Ouattara’s headquarters is the document he kept at home in Ted I found it online. Ouattara’s house is not difficult to find at all. To be precise, it is really easy to find. In fact, Xiao Hang prefers to call it a palace for such a large house. No wonder it can be called the headquarters. I’m afraid the presidential palace is also It can't match the grandeur here.

I don't know if I can see Ted when I visit rashly.Xiao Hang asked the guard to inform him of his name and intention of coming.After a while, a man came and took him in.

Passing through the beautiful courtyard, someone placed Xiao Hang in the hall.The furniture of Ouattara's house is made of high-quality mahogany, and the tea in a porcelain cup with a tureen was served quickly. Xiao Hang took a sip. The authentic black tea really came from a family with deep Chinese culture.

After waiting for a while, a middle-aged man in his early fifties walked in.In fact, Xiao Hang is not very accurate in estimating his age. He always thinks that black people look like 20 years old when they are 40 years old, and they still look like 60 years old when they are 40 years old.

"You are Xiao Hang, right?" The visitor's Chinese was more standard than Ted's.

Basically Xiao Hang had already guessed who he was, but he still asked symbolically: "Are you?"

"Seri Ouattara." Sure enough, it was the current head of the Ouattara family, and Master Ouattara extended his hand to Xiao Hang.

After shaking hands with him, Xiao Hang suddenly realized that he was in an awkward situation, what was he?Even if they are lovers, how should this ulterior relationship be defined in front of Ted's father.

"Ted has done a lot of stupid things for you lately."

I didn't expect Master Ouattara to be so straightforward. In fact, Xiao Hang also thought that it would be difficult to meet Ted's father when he came to Côte d'Ivoire, but when he did meet, his heart was still full of drums, and he really felt like meeting his parents.

"Well, I'm sorry." Not knowing what to say, Xiao Hang had no choice but to apologize.

"It's all on his own initiative, you don't need to apologize."

"You can't say that," Xiao Hang said hastily, "I haven't discussed the matter of the Samir gold mine with him before." This matter should be the most unacceptable thing for Master Ouattara.

"It's okay, for the safety of my son, I haven't taken a small gold mine into consideration," Master Ouattara immediately showed a sly smile, "However, the gold mine will not be handed over to Galatier .”

Does he have another way?Xiao Hang didn't ask, it's not something he should inquire about.

"Thank you, can I see Ted?" This is the purpose of Xiao Hang's coming here.

"Okay, but wait a minute, let's drink tea first."

Master Ouattara sat down and sipped tea leisurely. Although his appearance was ordinary, the calmness and elegance revealed by this man's gestures showed that he was not ordinary.

After a while, Master Ouattara said: "I like China very much, and I also like Chinese people very much. In fact, I also have a wife in China."

... Xiao Hang was completely speechless for Master Ouattara's mercy everywhere.

Seeing that Xiao Hang remained silent, Master Ouattara continued: "If my son marries a Chinese wife, I think I will be very happy."

It seems that Master Ouattara knows everything about Ted and himself. That’s right. With his news channels, there is no reason not to know. You mean, now that Ted has found a handsome Chinese guy, will you object?" Although he is Ted's father, Xiao Hang feels that Seri Ouattara has no right to question their relationship, not to mention that he Ted is almost never taken care of, so why does such a man who throws sperm all over the world interfere with two people who really love each other?

"I won't object either, that's his own choice." Master Ouattara's answer was beyond Xiao Hang's expectation. It seems that this globalized man still has a high degree of acceptance of homosexuality.

"However, I want to tell you one thing before I announce it to the public," Master Ouattara said again: "I am going to announce that Ted will be expelled from the Ouattara family, and the date of the declaration will be brought forward to sign an agreement with Galatier Before, he would lose all his privileges and inheritance rights in the Ouattara family."

Sure enough, Xiao Hang looked at Seri Ouattara with some contempt. This man would give up his son for a small gold mine. He was really a cannibalistic businessman.However, it doesn't matter, Ted is not rare, and he will not be rare.

"It's your family's decision, Ted's last name is Ouattara, or something else, he is who he is to me, I don't want his money and status to be with him. I am a man, I will support Of course, I have no problem supporting Ted, a man can live without love, but he can't live without career." Xiao Hang said seriously.

"Yes, a man can live without love, but not without a career. You and I believe exactly the same."

"Can I go to see Ted?" Xiao Hang raised his eyebrows and asked, it seems that it is not something to be proud of like Seri Ouattara's belief.

"Okay, I'll send someone to take you there."

Looking at Xiao Hang who left the hall, Seri Ouattara showed some appreciation in his eyes.If Xiao Hang didn't take the initiative to come over, he planned to have someone find him. Anyway, he would also like to meet this Chinese kid who fascinated Ted.That's right, he likes this kid very much, no matter his appearance or personality, so it's no wonder Ted would ignore it for him.Côte d'Ivoire is not a monogamous country. Perhaps Xiao Hang will not understand his own way of life, and even Ted will not understand, but he has six wives and fifteen children. He remembers each of them's preferences, He loved them in his own way, and that was enough.Ted's appearance doomed him not to receive better treatment in the Ouattara family. It may not be a bad thing to leave the family to pursue his own life. This is the consensus he reached with Ted this time.

Maybe, if they leave Africa for China one day, they can stop by and see them when they visit their Chinese wives themselves.Seri Ouattara sat on the chair with his legs crossed, took a sip of black tea, and suddenly thought of this.
