Chapter 2588
"Test?" Su Zhifei looked at his mother with some confusion, not understanding, "Mom, what do you mean?"
Du Haiqing said earnestly, "Ye Chen's main purpose for coming today should be to ask you that question, to see if you would take this opportunity to terminate this pilgrimage."
Su Zhifei asked her, "Then what did Mr. Ye intend to test me on? Was he testing whether my heart is sincere?"
"Something like that!" Du Haiqing nodded slightly and explained, "Ye Chen's style of doing things is very similar to his father's. Although I don't understand Ye Chen, I understand Ye Changying. What makes Ye Changying different from most leaders is that his primary prerequisite for employing people is not looking at ability or background, but at character."
After a pause, Du Haiqing added, "In his eyes, no matter how strong a person's ability is, as long as that person's character is not upright, he won't associate with him deeply, let alone put him into his career blueprint."
"But now many people don't care about this point. Many bosses' own starting points are malicious. They only want to squeeze out the other party's ability and value and then discard them at will. So they employ people by looking at ability first, not character. But such people are often a double-edged sword. Even if they can create certain value in a short time, how can two malicious people who both want to win everything create a win-win situation? So, this situation is definitely more harmful than beneficial in the long run. It is precisely because of this that Ye Changying's primary prerequisite for employing people is that their character must pass."
Speaking of this, Du Haiqing added, "Ye Chen letting He Yingxiu keep you and your father under house arrest must also have his intentions. As long as Su Shoudao can think it through and reach the standard of Ye Chen's test, Ye Chen will give him freedom. Don't believe me, just wait and see. After the wedding on the 8th, he will definitely be able to regain his freedom."
Su Zhifei asked in surprise, "Mom, do you mean Mr. Ye intends to use me?"
Du Haiqing said earnestly, "It might not be him using you, it could also be your sister."
Su Zhiyu nodded and said, "Then after Brother returns from the pilgrimage, he can return to work at the Su Group!"
"That's right." Du Haiqing sighed, "Ye Chen testing your brother must also be for your sake. His mind is just like his father's, very careful."
Su Zhifei was silent for a moment and suddenly realized, "Mom, I understand Mr. Ye's meaning... He wants me to share the burden for Zhiyu steadily and wholeheartedly, but the premise is that he must feel that my character has undergone a qualitative change compared to before. If I am still the one who would defect at any time for profit, he definitely won't let me touch the Su family's business."
Du Haiqing nodded and said, "That's right, that's it. So you absolutely cannot have any other thoughts. If you let him down again, he might never give you any more chances."
Su Zhifei said without hesitation, "Mom, don't worry. I am no longer the me who was still thinking about inheriting the Su family. This period of pilgrimage made me understand that a person living in this world must not let their loved ones down. In the future, as long as Zhiyu needs me, I will definitely do my best until my heart stops. If she doesn't need me, I won't fight or grab for the Su family's assets. Even if it's just the money in my own account, it's enough for me to live a carefree life."
Seeing that Su Zhifei said these words from the bottom of his heart, Du Haiqing nodded with comfort and said to Su Zhiyu, "Zhiyu, as the head of the Su family, even if Ye Chen allows your brother to return to the Su Group in the future, whether you let him return or not is up to you. You can consider this completely independently. Mom won't interfere. However, Mom only has one requirement for you."
Su Zhiyu said hurriedly, "Mom, please tell me!"
Du Haiqing said earnestly, "In a family business, it's normal to use family members for important positions, but you must be objective and fair. Don't give special treatment to Zhifei just because he is your own brother. If he can do it, he stays; if he can't, he goes. Don't give others the feeling that if you say he can do it, he can do it even if he can't."
Su Zhiyu nodded heavily, "Mom, don't worry, I've noted it down!"
3:00 PM.
A flight directly to Hong Kong took off at Jin Ling Airport.
Liu Manqiong, with a thousand thoughts, sat on the plane, looking at Jin Ling getting further and further away outside the window, and couldn't help but think of the bits and pieces of meeting Ye Chen in Hong Kong back then.
Seeing Ye Chen walking with Nanako by accident today, although it made her feel inferior for a short time, it didn't affect the deep love for Ye Chen in her heart at all.
Now she just wanted the time to pass faster. She was already looking forward to the day Jin Ling University started. She even decided that after school started, she would call Ye Chen to inform him that she had come to Jin Ling for business, make an appointment to meet him, and then tell him that she had joined Jin Ling University when they met.
And Liu Manqiong was also prepared for the worst. Even if Ye Chen was unhappy after knowing it, or even hoped she would leave Jin Ling, she wouldn't care. She was also experiencing life in this world for the first time. Meeting someone she liked, she just wanted to be closer to him. No one could persuade her otherwise.
Just as her plane was gradually flying away from Jin Ling, another plane slowly landed on the runway of Jin Ling Airport.
This plane took off from Madagascar in Africa and flew 10,000 kilometers to reach Jin Ling. The passenger on the plane was the old master of the Su family, Su Chengfeng, who had become a big landlord in Madagascar.
He had received an invitation from his son Su Shoudao and had come all the way from Madagascar to attend the wedding.
Learning that his son was going to marry He Yingxiu, Su Chengfeng's first thought was surprise, and his second thought was comfort.
The comfort wasn't because he was so satisfied with He Yingxiu, mainly because he hadn't been able to stand his son's fawning appearance in front of Du Haiqing for so many years.
Everyone knew that Du Haiqing agreed to marry Su Shoudao because she couldn't get Ye Changying. Back then, he also really wanted to stop his son from marrying Du Haiqing. After all, he was also a person who wanted face, and he was also afraid of being teased that his son had picked up something others didn't want and treated it as a treasure.
However, in the end, he couldn't overcome Su Shoudao, who only wanted to marry Du Haiqing, so he could only tacitly agree to their marriage.
Tacit agreement was tacit agreement, but this knot in the old master's heart had never been untied for so many years.
Now, his son had finally ended his twenty-plus years of marriage with Du Haiqing and married He Yingxiu, who loved him wholeheartedly. In the old master's eyes, this was the best destination for Su Shoudao at the moment.
Having slept in the same bed with a woman who didn't love him for more than twenty years, he should change to someone who loved him.
However, if he delved into it, the old master also felt that this matter was not perfect. In his impression, He Yingxiu was a disabled person, which was really a bit embarrassing. The Su family's eldest daughter-in-law missing an arm, just thinking about it made him feel it wasn't quite right.
But he didn't know yet that after the reshaping of the Rejuvenation Pill, He Yingxiu's severed arm had already been reborn.
After the plane landed, it taxied all the way into the hangar. In the hangar at this time, Su Shoudao and He Yingxiu had been waiting for a long time.
After all, the old master had traveled thousands of miles to come here, so the two attached great importance to it and arrived at the airport half an hour early to wait for him.
When the plane slowly taxied into the hangar, He Yingxiu's hands were trembling with nervousness. This was mainly because she wasn't sure whether the strong-tempered and arrogant Su old master would be able to look favorably upon her, this future daughter-in-law.
If he was dissatisfied with her and pointed at her nose to scold her for not being worthy of his son, what should she do?
Su Shoudao discovered He Yingxiu's nervousness and whispered in her ear, "Don't worry. When I called the old master to tell him about this, the old master didn't express any dissatisfaction."
He Yingxiu said uneasily, "I know the old master's personality. He doesn't show his joy or anger, and he likes to attack suddenly, so I'm afraid he's holding his breath in his heart..."
"He won't." Su Shoudao comforted her with a smile, "The old master is no longer the old master who once dominated the world. His mind is now all on raising horses. I said we were getting married and invited him to come over. His first reaction was to calculate the time first. It is said that he bought a horse farm, and several mares inside are about to give birth. He doesn't want to miss the birth of the foals."
Only then did He Yingxiu breathe a sigh of relief, but before getting the old master's personal affirmation, she still felt a bit unsure.
At this time, the steps had already been connected, the cabin door opened, and Su Chengfeng, wearing a short-sleeved shirt and big shorts, stepped off the plane.
Seeing Su Shoudao and He Yingxiu, he waved at them with a smile on the plane, and his footsteps quickened a bit.
Seeing him smiling and waving, Su Shoudao whispered to He Yingxiu, "Look, the old master seems to be in a good mood!"
After saying that, he had already taken the initiative to greet him and said respectfully, "Dad, you've worked hard all the way."
Su Chengfeng waved his hand and said with a smile, "Not hard, not hard. I've been eating and sleeping all the way, what's hard about that."
He Yingxiu also walked to Su Chengfeng uneasily at this time, bowed respectfully, and said, "Hello, Old Master!"
Su Chengfeng said with a smile, "You two are about to hold a wedding, why are you still calling me Old Master? Besides, I'm not the head of the Su family anymore. No need to call me so distantly. I'm older than your father, you can call me Uncle first, and then change to call me Dad on the wedding day."
He Yingxiu didn't expect the old master to be so approachable now, and her hanging heart finally relaxed a lot.
Su Shoudao also truly let go of his heart, pointed to the Rolls-Royce behind him, and said to the old master, "Dad, let's go to the hotel first."
"Alright." Su Chengfeng nodded slightly, and He Yingxiu on the side had already pulled open the car door for him one step ahead, made a gesture of invitation, and said respectfully, "Uncle Su, please!"
Su Chengfeng responded subconsciously and was about to sit in the car when he suddenly discovered that He Yingxiu was making a gesture of invitation with both hands. He was stunned and pointed at He Yingxiu's right hand, murmuring, "Yingxiu... you... you... what's going on with your right hand..."
