Boss, He’s Becoming a Father (Arc 3) Chapter 61.1: The Son-In-Law of a Wealthy Family (4)
Even though Zheng Yaozu had seen this scene thousands of times, he still felt very uncomfortable at this moment.
“Honey, you’re back.” Shao Mingzhu said with joy on her face.
Shao Qi followed and shouted “Dad”.
Shao Yu also looked at Zheng Yaozu.
Facing Shao Yu’s gaze, Zheng Yaozu naturally did not dare to neglect his daughter, but even here, Shao Qi still turned around and said to Shao Yu as if unintentionally: “Grandpa, Dad is so well behaved in front of you.”
Zheng Yaozu clenched his fists on the spot, but still said nothing.
When the naive Shao Mingzhu heard this, she didn’t realized nothing was wrong, but just said proudly: “Who wouldn’t be obedient in front of your grandfather?”
Shao Qi smiled and made a face at Zheng Yaozu.
Shao Yu looked at Zheng Yaozu and asked in a somewhat reproachful manner: “Why did it take so long? The whole family is waiting for you to eat.”
Zheng Yaozu replied: “Dad, the handover took some time. It’s my fault that I came back late.”
Shao Mingzhu immediately spoke up for her husband: “Dad, it’s all because his subordinates are useless and have delayed Yaozu’s success.”
Shao Yu glanced at her and said, “Never mind. He always does things a step slower than others. That’s normal.”
When Zheng Yaozu heard this, he felt as if his breath was stuck in his chest, making him unable to spit it out or swallow it down. But now the entire Shao family was still in Shao Yu’s hands, and he could do nothing.
When he arrived at the restaurant, Zheng Yaozu saw the food on the table and felt annoyed again.
The taste in his hometown tends to be heavy, and the food often contains a lot of salt and oil, but the Shao family prefers a lighter taste, and the whole family eats health-preserving meals.
Because of Zheng Yaozu’s special taste, Shao Mingzhu would always ask the kitchen to make a separate portion. But today, all the dishes on the table were tasteless.
Shao Mingzhu has not yet realized this. Now that Shao Yu has just recovered from a serious illness, it is rare for her to focus all her energy on her biological father.
On the contrary, Shao Yu, seeing Zheng Yaozu was slow to pick up his chopsticks, asked, “Yaozu, can’t you eat?”
After hearing Shao Yu say, Shao Mingzhu finally noticed the food on the table and immediately complained, “Why did Sister Chen forget again? She should have made a few more dishes for Yaozu.”
Shao Yu smiled and said, “I ordered it. Don’t blame Sister Chen.”
Shao Mingzhu was stunned, but soon whispered: “Dad, Yaozu can’t eat these dishes.”
After hearing this, Shao Yu looked at Zheng Yaozu and asked, “Yaozu, you have been in our house for ten years , but you still can’t get used to the food here?”
Zheng Yaozu was startled when he heard this. Thinking about what happened today, he looked at Shao Yu again and felt that Shao Yu was criticizing him.
Zheng Yaozu originally thought that Shao Yu was old and would not live long. Shao Yu’s fainting a few days ago also confirmed his idea. But when he looked at Shao Yu again, he felt that the old man in front of him, although his face was full of wrinkles, his eyes were still full of brilliance.
At this moment, Zheng Yaozu felt that Shao Yu was like a lion, a lion that was in its twilight years but still had the power to lead a group of lions.
Zheng Yaozu was afraid that Shao Yu had noticed something, so he did not dare to be negligent at this time, and replied with a smile: “Dad, I am used to eating this, I am used to eating this.”
Upon hearing this, Shao Yu looked at his daughter with a smile and said, “You are just worrying about nothing. Do you think everyone is like you and your tastes never change?”
Shao Mingzhu smiled. She was afraid that her husband was showing off, so she turned around and asked again, “Are you really used to it?”
Zheng Yaozu didn’t want to eat these tasteless meals at all, but in front of his father-in-law, he didn’t dare to refute at all.
After dinner, Shao Yu returned to the study.
Yaozu immediately pulled his wife back to their bedroom.
“What’s going on? Why do you have to take a vacation suddenly? What did you tell your father?” Zheng Yaozu asked anxiously.
Hearing her husband’s questioning with a hint of blame, Shao Mingzhu felt a little aggrieved and said, “I asked Dad to let you take a vacation. Didn’t I also see that you were too tired?”
Zheng Yaozu immediately said, “Did I ask you to beg for mercy?”
Although Shao Mingzhu is thirty years old, she still has the temper of a girl and said, “Are you blaming me?”
Seeing that his wife was obviously unhappy, Zheng Yaozu immediately comforted her: “I’m not blaming you, I just think things are too urgent and I don’t have time to prepare.”
Shao Mingzhu heard this and said, “What do you need to prepare? This is our own company. Can’t we just leave if we want to?”
Zheng Yaozu was not as confident as Shao Mingzhu. He always remembered his identity as the son-in-law of a wealthy family. Before he got shares in the company, he never thought that it was his own company.
“Although this is our own company, after all, with so many employees watching, wouldn’t it be a joke if they came and left as they pleased?”
Shao Mingzhu’s thinking was obviously not on the same line as his. She had graduated from college ten years ago, but she had never worked outside and had never seen the wind and rain of a successful career. Upon hearing this, she just said, “Just watch, what can you do? If you feel tired and unhappy about this job, why do you want to continue?”
Zheng Yaozu felt tired when he looked at this young lady. He wanted to say that not everyone has such favorable conditions as you, but he could only swallow the words.
