Yan Yihu went straight to the hospital to visit his father-in-law, Li Qingshan. He was emaciated, with sunken eye sockets, a haggard appearance, and a dull gaze. His condition was very critical. Li Qingshan smiled when he saw Yan Yihu. His wife, Li Ping, and grandson, Yan Ge, were all by his side.
Li Qingshan looked at his family and said slowly,""I know that I'm going to leave this world soon. There are some things I want to explain to you.”
Li Ping held Li Qingshan's hand tightly and cried,""Dad, you can't leave. What will happen to us if you leave?”
Li Qingshan panted for a moment before continuing," Birth, aging, sickness, and death are the natural laws that no one can resist. When one is about to die, no one can stop them." I'm already in my seventies. I've experienced the ups and downs of the human world and enjoyed glory and wealth. I have no regrets. You don't have to be sad for me and take care of yourself.”
"Daddy, you have to hold on. In the past, I didn't show filial piety to my father. You have to give me a chance to show filial piety.”
Li Qingshan closed his eyes and rested for a while.""I only have one daughter, Ping 'er. Her health is not very good. Layford Electric Company is the condensation of my life's hard work. I hope Yihu can inherit my career and continue to develop the company.”
Yan Yihu originally had no intention of inheriting his father-in-law's company. When his father-in-law raised this question at a critical moment, he really couldn't reject it in person. So she said,"Dad, don't worry. Li Ping and I will do our best to run this company well and strive for further development."”
Li Qingshan held his grandson Yan Ge's hand and said,""You're already an adult. You must help your parents manage the company well. You can't be too playful anymore.”
"Grandpa, don't worry! I will definitely be strict with myself to help my parents manage the company.”
After saying this, Li Qingshan closed his eyes and never opened them again. Li Ping cried her heart out and could not be persuaded. After the funeral, Li Ping's heart disease became more and more serious. Her heart function gradually deteriorated and she was admitted to the hospital.
Li Ping's condition was getting worse and worse. The pressure from work was getting bigger and bigger. She missed Yan Junfang more and more. The heavy mental pressure was driving Yan Yihu crazy. He had to manage such a big company. If something went wrong, he would let down his father-in-law, Li Qingshan. If he didn't take good care of Li Ping, he would be letting down his wife. She was busy with work during the day. When she went to rest at night, Yan Junfang's shadow kept swaying in front of her. The feeling of longing was heart-wrenching and unbearable.
Yan Yihu couldn't sleep at night. He looked at the clock and saw that it was already one o'clock in the middle of the night. He estimated that it was 2 p. m. in Beijing. He dialed Yan Junfang's number.”
Yan Junfang cried when she heard that it was Yan Yihu."Dad, what's wrong? I've been gone for so many days without a call. I'm so anxious!”
Yan Yihu said,"Girl, don't cry.”
"Have you forgotten about me?" Yan Junfang asked. Do you not want me anymore?"
"I'm too busy!" Yan Yihu said.”
"I don't believe it. How many minutes can a phone call take?" Yan Junfang said. You must hate me and don't want to talk to me.”
"You're my little darling. How can I hate you?" Yan Yihu said.”
Yan Junfang said," I know that I like to be noisy and coquettish. I know that you like to be quiet and don't like to move. You've long disliked me. In the future, I will be a good girl and not make you angry.”
"Don't let your imagination run wild. I like your innocence and liveliness. I'm willing to let you act coquettishly to me. I've always thought of you.”
"Dad, are you used to going to America?" Yan Junfang asked. How is your body?"
Even if Yan Yihu had a thousand kinds of pain and difficulties, he couldn't tell her. He could only comfort her."It's alright. I'm getting used to it."
"How's Grandpa?" Yan Junfang asked.”
"Li Qingshan left after saying a few words to me," said Yan Yihu. Before he died, he instructed me to inherit his company and take good care of Li Ping and Yan.”
"What should I do if you don't come back?" Yan Junfang said anxiously. Do you have the heart to leave me behind?”
Yan Yihu said," You've grown up. Your ability to work, your courage, and your intelligence are much stronger than mine. I believe that you will definitely be able to manage the company well and expand it.”
Yan Junfang said,"I don't want the company or money. I only want you." If you don't come back, I'll sell the company and go to America to find you!”
"Don't, don't, don't! Don't sell the company! After a period of time, I'll go back when this place stabilizes.”
"When are you coming back?" Yan Junfang asked.”
"Look, Li Ping's illness is very serious. Can I leave her alone at this time?" Yan Yihu said. I just took over this company and can't get away!”
Yan Junfang said sadly,"I think it's going to be a long time before you come back."”
"When Yan Ge can work independently and Li Ping recovers, I'll definitely go back," said Yan Yihu.”
Yan Junfang said,"I'll wait for you for half a year. If you still don't come back after half a year, I'll definitely go find you."”
"How are you?" Yan Yihu asked. Is there any difficulty?"
"Dad, my reputation is getting bigger and bigger, and I'm in more and more danger. There are often bad people stalking me, and many people want to catch me. Once, he was almost taken away by the thugs.……”
Yan Junfang told him in detail about how Han Changhe fought the thugs to save her. Yan Yihu said,"It's too dangerous for you to be alone. You can stay at Han Changhe's house!" Han Changhe is a rare good person. With him taking care of you, I am very relieved.”
Yan Junfang said,"Aren't you afraid that we'll fall in love over time and become lovers?”
"I believe you won't forget me." If such a day really comes, I should be happy. It has always been my dream for my girl to have such a good home. I can't just think about myself. I should think about your happiness.”
"Do you want to marry me off and get rid of this trouble?" Yan Junfang asked.”
Yan Yihu said,"It's better if you don't get married. You'll always be my little baby."”
"To be honest, did you miss me?" Yan Junfang asked.”
"Aren't you asking the obvious?" Yan Yihu said. It's two o'clock at night here. Can I call you at night?”
"I just want you to tell me yourself. Did you miss me?" Yan Junfang asked.”
Yan Yihu said," I missed you so much that I went crazy. I missed you so much that I couldn't sleep." Alright!"
Yan Junfang said,"I miss you very much too. Come back quickly!"”
……
After Yan Yihu finished the call, he could not calm down for a long time. After taking over Layford Electric Company, it was very difficult. He was not familiar with the management style of the United States. He was not used to the American personality, his specialization, and his language. The English he spoke was not standard and the Americans could not understand him. He could not understand what the Americans were saying. Thanks to his son, Yan Ge, who had been in the United States for many years, he was proficient in English and was already used to foreign management methods. In addition, Yan Ge was smart, studious, and professional. He made rapid progress in managing the company. In order to better train his son, Yan Ge, he put Yan Ge in the position of general manager. He didn't expect this child to be so bold. Yan Ge was open-minded and dared to take responsibility for his actions. He managed the company very well.
Li Ping had been suffering from heart disease for 10 years. Sometimes light, sometimes heavy, constantly taking medicine and injections, often hospitalized for treatment. Her father's departure had been a huge blow to her, and her heart disease was getting worse. He died of heart failure after a month of treatment in the hospital. Li Ping's death was a huge blow to Yan Yihu. Although the relationship between husband and wife was not very harmonious, they were still an old couple. Yan Yihu was a loyal person. He always felt that he had let Li Ping down. Two of his relatives had died in the past month, and he had two more traumas in his heart. After Yan Yihu came to the United States, his stomach was not used to it and he often had diarrhea. This was what was commonly known as acclimatized. He couldn't eat or sleep well. Yan Yihu became thinner and didn't have much energy. Yan Ge saw that his father didn't look well and advised him to rest. However, when she was free, she would think of Yan Junfang, this little darling.
Yan Ge was a very dedicated child. He had a strong sense of responsibility and rarely went home.
After Yan Yihu finished his dinner, he turned on the television and searched for Chinese TV programs. He searched twice but was not interested. He paced back and forth in the room alone, feeling depressed and dizzy. So he walked out of the house and took a walk in the small garden behind the house. The crescent moon hung in the sky, and the white clouds rushed past, making the moon appear and disappear mysteriously.
Yan Yihu thought to himself, My little darling, what are you doing? Are you looking at the moon too?" This reminded him of the time when they were looking at the moon in Sanhe. They drove to the western suburbs and sat on the green grass, looking up at the night sky. A bright moon shone on the earth, making it silver. The cool breeze caressed their faces with the smell of grass, washing away the fatigue of the day and immersing them in happiness. She buried her head in his arms and acted coquettishly. She playfully tickled his neck and armpits, making him laugh and beg for mercy. She said," I am the moon, and you are the earth. No matter where you go, I will follow you closely." That's right! I arrived at the other side of the ocean, and you followed me. You are the moon in my heart, you are the beautiful Chang'e, you are the treasure in my heart. If only we were together right now!”He looked up at the sky and fell into a heart-wrenching longing.
He did not dare to look at the moon anymore and simply went back into the house. Loneliness and worry weighed him down. He took a deep breath and walked into the bathroom. He filled the bathtub with water, hoping to wash away his worries. When he buried himself in the water, memories of the past occupied his mind again. In the past two years, he had never bathed himself. It was always the servant girl who bathed for him. The two of them often played in the water. She rode on him like a child riding a big horse and acted coquettishly. When she was done playing, she would rub his back and massage him. She used her soft and delicate hands to massage her from head to toe to relieve her fatigue. She felt extremely comfortable and refreshed. He told jokes and stories while massaging. She always teased him on purpose and liked to see him burning with fire. But now, he was lying alone in the bathtub in a daze. No one was playing with him.
He was no longer in the mood to shower. He put on a towel and returned to the bedroom. Sleep! She didn't want to think about anything when she fell asleep! However, the more she wanted to sleep, the more she couldn't. He tossed and turned for hours without feeling sleepy. He fell back into his sweet memories. He recalled the days he spent with her. There was no melancholy, no worries, only happiness and joy. He did not dare to think any further. Memories of the past made him happy, but also made him more depressed. He really wanted to give her a call! However, he picked up the phone and put it down again. How busy would a little girl like her be leading such a big company?! He might not even have time to sleep. He couldn't disturb her anymore.
When the sky was about to brighten, he fell asleep. In his sleep, he saw Yan Junfang swimming in the Han family's swimming pool. Han Changhe taught her how to swim step by step. She was wearing a gorgeous bikini, just like the swimsuit the models wore during their performances. She had a slim figure, full breasts, and fair and delicate skin. She was like a mermaid in the water, flipping up and down, appearing and disappearing from time to time. Han Changhe followed her like a shadow, closely following behind her, protecting her safety. After swimming for a while, the two of them went ashore and took a walk beside the swimming pool hand in hand. Suddenly, Han Changhe hugged her tightly and kissed her with all his might. Yan Junfang pushed Han Changhe away and jumped into the swimming pool. A few minutes passed, but she did not come out of the water. Han Changhe happily stood on the shore without moving. No one went into the water to save her. "Save them!" Yan Yihu shouted. Save them!" When she woke up, she realized that she was in a dream.
Yan Yihu wiped the sweat off his face, calmed himself down, and let out a long sigh. He thought to himself, Han Changhe is indeed not bad, I should trust him. To the girl, he was the most trustworthy person. If the girl married him, it would be the best choice. If I love him, I should think about her in every way and create a good living condition and environment for her. I can't just think about my own happiness and not the girl's happiness. Seeing that the girl and Han Changhe's relationship has developed further, I should fully support them and create good conditions for them to cultivate feelings and facilitate their marriage. I can't return to the country. Once I return to the country, the girl will definitely be with me every day and alienate Han Changhe. I can't call her often in America to disrupt her life.”
Dong Weihua and Xue Shanju were with Yan Junfang every day. When she was at work, she helped Yan Junfang deal with company matters. After work, she helped her deal with her daily life. She didn't have to worry about her life, and she was living happily. However, every time she slept at night, she would think of Yan Yihu. It had been more than two years, and they had been together every day. Life had been so happy! It had been three months since he came back to the United States, and he rarely called. She would call him herself, afraid that Li Ping would overhear it.
Yan Junfang looked at the clock and saw that it was already 12 o'clock, but she still couldn't fall asleep. She mustered up her courage and called Yan Yihu. The phone rang and someone said,""Girl, is that you?"
Yan Junfang recognized Yan Yihu and whispered,""Daddy, it's me."
"It's already 12 o'clock at your place. Why aren't you asleep yet?" Yan Yihu asked.”
Yan Junfang sobbed and said,"You left for a few months and didn't come back. You didn't even call me. I missed you so much!"”
"Girl, don't cry! Let's talk slowly."
"How's the situation there?" Yan Junfang asked.”
"Li Ping has already left. Yan Ge and I are busy with the company's matters, so it's difficult for us to return to the country.”
"Do you not want to go back to China?" Yan Junfang asked anxiously.”
"I don't feel at ease handing over such a big business to Yan Ge," Yan Yihu said.”
Yan Junfang said,"If you really don't want to come back, I'll go to America to help you manage the company."”
"Don't, don't, don't! Don't come over! I'll go back when this place stabilizes."
Yan Junfang said,"I'll wait for you for three months at most. If you don't come back, I'll go find you."”
"Girl, how's the situation there?" Yan Yihu asked.”
Yan Junfang said," The residential buildings and Minyi Amusement Park in Minyi District are under construction. The progress is very fast." The company is developing smoothly and the economic returns are very good. We already have a lot of money.”
"I'm most concerned about your life and safety.”
Yan Junfang said,"Han Changhe helped me find two female bodyguards. These two girls are very good!" Follow me every day to protect my safety.”
"Are you doing well?" Yan Yihu asked.”
Yan Junfang said,"I live in Han Changhe's house. The food, clothes, and necessities are all very good." Han Changhe is very good to me, and his parents are also very good to me. I just miss you at night. Come back quickly!”
"You must take good care of yourself and be careful.”
Yan Junfang said," Dad, you have to pay more attention to your health when you're old. You have to strengthen your nutrition and don't overwork yourself. Don't worry about me. I can definitely take care of myself and won't be hurt in the slightest. No matter how good others are to me, I will not be moved. I only have you in my heart. I will always be your little baby.”
"It's late at night at your place now. Hurry up and sleep for a while!" Your workload is very heavy. Once you start work, there will be a lot of work for you to deal with. I'll feel sorry for you if you tire yourself out."
Yan Junfang couldn't calm down for a long time after the call. Ever since she met Yan Yihu, she had stepped into a paradise of happiness. The family walked out of the torture of hunger, poverty, and disease and became a happy and well-off family. In the two years she had lived with Yan Yihu, she had gotten used to his words, his mature and steady image, and his unique scent. The smell was neither fragrant nor smelly, but it was very pleasant. Every day after work, the first thing she did when she entered the house was to hug him and smell him for a while. At night, lying in his arms and smelling his scent, she quickly fell asleep. What a warm life, what a happy home. She was intoxicated by the memories of the past and slowly fell asleep.
Yan Yihu was a person who was used to putting himself in someone else's shoes. He wanted happiness, but he was afraid of affecting the future of others. He was so blessed to have the innocent, lively, beautiful, and kind Yan Junfang by his side! However, he always thought about Yan Junfang. He was almost sixty years old, and his days were numbered. Yan Junfang was in the prime of her youth. There should be a young man of the same age who would marry her and have children with her. Besides, it's an unforgivable sin for me to be with a girl who calls me daddy every day. He didn't even care about the basic ethics. Was he still human? He was hesitant, he blamed himself, he regretted, he was in pain, and guilt made him struggle on the line of life and death every day. He often wondered,"Why should I continue to live? My happiness is built on the girl's pain. How shameful! I shouldn't have returned to the country and shouldn't have been with her. I'll use my life to wash away my sins and cleanse my shame!”He made up his mind to endure the pain before death until he completely ended his life.
A few months had passed, and Yan Yihu was as thin as a stick. His body was haggard, his movements were slow, and his mind was lifeless. Yan Junfang called again to urge him to return home. He said in a slow and weak voice,"Girl, take care of yourself!" I can't take care of you anymore."
"What's wrong with Daddy?" Yan Junfang asked while crying. Are you sick? Don't scare me!"
Yan Yihu said sadly,"Don't cry, girl. I'm fine." Daddy is already old and doesn't want to trouble you anymore.”
Yan Junfang said anxiously,"I heard something wrong with your words. You must be sick." Tell me the truth, what is it?"
Yan Yihu pulled himself together again and said loudly,"I'm really not sick. Don't worry!”
"I can tell that you're sick!" Yan Junfang said. I'll go to America to see you immediately."
"Don't, don't, don't! I'll be back soon. I'll definitely be back in a month. Don't come!”He thought to himself, I should be dead in less than a month, and I won't be able to return to the country.”
Yan Junfang said,"Daddy, you must hold on. I'll go find you soon!"”
Yan Yihu put down the phone, feeling happy and worried. She was happy that she would be able to see her little darling soon. What worried her was that she still couldn't get rid of her own shackles and start a new life. What should he do? If he could exchange his life for the girl's happiness, it would be very worthwhile. The girl has given me too much happiness. In my limited life, I can't repay her at all. He was depressed, she was hesitant, he hesitated, he didn't dare to commit suicide in public. Because Yan Junfang wouldn't be able to take it if she saw him commit suicide. With his stubborn personality, he might do something stupid. If it was due to illness, she could slowly accept it. A few days had passed, and Yan Yihu had been thinking about how to die. It suddenly occurred to him that dying in a car accident would not be painful, nor would it arouse the girl's suspicion. It was the ideal suicide plan. He had made up his mind that he would die bravely when he saw his son being strict at night.
Yan Ge was busy with work and rarely went home. Yan Yihu gave his son a call. Yan Ge returned home very early. Yan Yihu used all his energy to make his son's last dinner.
Just as they were about to eat, the phone rang. Yan Ge ran to answer the phone. A girl's voice rang out from the receiver. "Daddy, is that you?"
Yan Ge hesitated for a moment. Suddenly, he remembered that his father had said that he had adopted a daughter. He quickly said,"Ah! Is it Little Sister? I'm strict. I'm calling my dad.”
Yan Yihu took the microphone with a trembling hand and asked,"Girl, what's the matter?"
Yan Junfang said," I've already arrived at Beijing Capital Airport and am waiting for flight CA983. The plane took off at 21 o'clock and would arrive in Los Angeles at 18 o'clock tomorrow. You must pick me up at the airport. I don't know where you live. Do you hear me?"
Yan Yihu's heart was suddenly filled with joy. The little darling he had missed day and night would soon come to his side. He controlled his excitement and said,"I heard you. We'll definitely pick you up at the airport."”
Yan Ge was very happy to know that his younger sister was coming and asked a lot about her. Thirteen hours later, he would bring his father to the Los Angeles airport to pick her up.
Yan Junfang walked out of the airport gate and looked around at the crowd waiting for her at the station. Yan Yihu was nowhere to be seen. Just as she was wondering, a skinny old man grabbed her hand and said,"Girl, where are you looking? I'm waiting for you."
Yan Junfang turned around and saw that it was really him. He was as thin as a stick, his face was covered with wrinkles, his sideburns were covered with white hair, and his eyes had lost their former luster. She stretched out her arms and hugged him tightly, crying loudly,"Dad, it's only been a few months. How did you become like this?”
Yan Ge looked at Yan Junfang in a daze and felt that he had seen her before. She had big phoenix eyes and long willow-like eyebrows. Her eyebrows were filled with the radiance of a young girl. Her shiny black hair was tied into a high ponytail, swaying behind her head. Her face was like pink jade, with a hint of red in her white skin. She had bright eyes and white teeth, a slim figure, and a voluptuous chest. She was delicate and moving. She was really a beauty from a painting, a fairy who had descended to the mortal world.
Yan Yihu gently pushed Yan Junfang away and pulled Yan Ge over to introduce him."Girl, this is your brother's strictness.”
Yan Junfang wiped her tears and held Yan Ge's hand.""Hello, big brother!"
Yan Ge said,"Little sister, don't cry. Let's talk when we get home!"”
Yan Ge took his luggage and Yan Junfang helped Yan Yihu out of the airport and into the car.
Yan Ge sped on the highway and returned home an hour later. It was already six in the morning in Los Angeles. Yan Ge made breakfast for them and hurried to work. Yan Junfang threw herself into Yan Yihu's arms and cried. Yan Yihu wiped her tears and said,""Girl, don't cry. You're already the CEO of a big company, yet you're still crying.”
"Why didn't you come back to China?" Yan Junfang asked sternly. Why didn't you call me? Why did he torture himself like this?”
"You have your career, your future, your happiness, and your future. Why would a dying old man like me stick to you and affect your future and destiny? You really shouldn't have come to America to look for me!"
Yan Junfang buried her head in his arms and cried,""I think Dad's old habits are acting up again. You're regretting it, blaming yourself, and planning to torture yourself to death. If you really die like this, can I still live? If you die for me, can I still live in this world? Don't think like this. Don't do this. The result of doing this will harm you and me. You know my temper the best. I always do what I say. The birth, aging, sickness, and death of humans are the laws of nature that no one can change. I can understand and accept it. If you die for my happiness, I will definitely die with you. Did you hear me clearly?"
Yan Yihu stroked her braids and said,"I know, I understand. How can I bear to leave the little darling!”He hugged her tightly in his arms.
Yan Junfang said,"Let me help you take a bath!" I haven't showered for so many days that my new clothes are dirty.”
Yan Junfang filled the bathtub with water and helped him take off his clothes. She helped him jump into the bathtub to help him bathe. Yan Yihu looked at her blankly and thought to himself,""She's such a good girl! Unfortunately, a flower was stuck in cow dung.”
Yan Junfang saw that he was in a daze and said with a smile,"What are you daydreaming about? You don't recognize me after not seeing me for a few months?”
Yan Yihu swallowed his saliva and said,"I think the girl is getting more and more beautiful."”
"Haven't you heard of it?" Yan Junfang asked. A woman changes eighteen times as she grows older, and the more she changes, the better she looks?”
"What a pity!" Yan Yihu said.
"What did you say?" Yan Junfang asked.
"Isn't it a pity that a fresh flower is stuck in cow dung?" Yan Yihu said.”
Yan Junfang said,"Can fresh flowers bloom brightly if they're not planted on cow dung?" If you put it on a clean road, it will soon wither.”
"What I mean is that the two of us are too incompatible.”
Yan Junfang said,"It depends on how you understand the problem of matching." Don't just look at age. It mainly depends on whether the psychological state is harmonious and whether it can produce sparks of love. We're in love, intimate, and happy. Aren't we a match made in heaven? What do you mean by matching?"
"But I'm 35 years older than you." Wouldn't it be too lonely for you to live alone for thirty-five years after I die?”
Yan Junfang said,"With me accompanying you, you will definitely live a long and healthy life."”
Yan Yihu said,"You're not a god, and you don't have an elixir that can make you immortal."”
Yan Junfang said,"In a sense, I'm your immortal, your panacea." I can bring you happiness, keep you in the good mood of a young man forever, keep the functions of all the organs in your body in good condition, delay aging, and rejuvenate you. Think about it. When you're with me, don't you look like a young man?”
"Don't laugh at me! I've already become your old child.”
Yan Junfang said,"Don't always think that you're an old man. Old people, young hearts, and healthy hearts can't be separated. You have to think like this: 'I'm a young man who just got married. I have a young and beautiful wife.'Only by thinking like this can you be happy.”
"Then wouldn't I become Ah Q?" Yan Yihu said.”
Yan Junfang said,"It's a good thing for people to have a bit of Ah Q spirit, not a bad thing."”
Yan Yihu said," Birth, old age, sickness, and death are the laws of nature that no one can change. When people reach a certain age, they will eventually die.”
"You're only half right," Yan Junfang said. People's lifespans varied. Some died at the age of 50, while others lived to more than 100 years old. Why? Let me give you an analogy. A big tree that had lived for 100 years was about to die. If you watered and fertilized it to control the pests, it would still grow vigorously. When a small tree was still growing, it would also wither and die if it lacked water, nutrients, and sunlight. I'll use my young life to feed you nutrients and water. I'll take good care of you, and you'll definitely grow healthily. Let's enjoy life to our heart's content and make up our minds to live it for another hundred years!”
Yan Yihu laughed out loud. After laughing for a while, he said,""Your little mouth really knows how to talk. You've forgotten who you are!”
"You're my husband!" Yan Junfang said. Why aren't you hugging your beautiful wife?”
Yan Yihu said,"No wonder there are so many people chasing you. You're too smart, too cute, and too beautiful!"”
Yan Junfang saw that he was in a daze, so she scooped up some water and splashed it on him. He also started a water fight. The two of them twisted together and massaged each other, happily playing like two naughty children.
"You really don't miss me?" Yan Junfang asked coquettishly.”
"Why wouldn't I?" Yan Yihu said. If I didn't miss you, would I have become so thin?”
Yan Junfang pointed at his forehead and said,""If you miss me, come back to China and look for me! You're such a fool!"
Yan Yihu said,"I can't just care about myself and not think about you."”
"Do you know what I'm thinking?" Yan Junfang asked. I miss you every day."
Yan Yihu said," I know that I'm a burden in your heart. I'm a disease. As long as I exist, no one can enter your heart." I've made you suffer!"
Yan Junfang said," You're my heaven, you're my earth. Only with you can I be happy, only then can I be happy!"”
"But I'm already in my fifties. I don't have much time left. I'm an iceberg that will melt soon. I'm unreliable.”
Yan Junfang said,"There's nothing wrong with your body. You can only blame yourself for letting your imagination run wild and tormenting yourself. You're always dying and living and making trouble with me." Can't you be more obedient? Obedience is a good child!"
"It's so funny. It's like I'm your child again." Yan Yihu smiled brightly.”
Yan Junfang said,"Look at what you've done. If you're not a child, what are you?" I'm so busy that I have to coax the child when I get home. Once I leave you, you'll die and live and cause trouble. It's really worrisome.”
Yan Yihu said," You're really a living treasure. No matter how much pain, how much difficulty, or how sad I am, as long as I'm with you, the rain will pass and the sun will shine. I'll be open-minded and happy.”
"Didn't I tell you?" Yan Junfang said. I am your Spiritual Jade, you can't leave me. Without me, you will be in a daze, lose your soul, go crazy, and seek death. Just tie me, this clown, to your neck! I'll help you eliminate disasters, welcome blessings, and gather wealth. I'll ensure that you can turn misfortune into good fortune, and that you can live a long life with a healthy body.”
"It seems like you've become my savior."”
Yan Junfang said,"You were my savior in the past. You saved me from disaster." Now I am your savior, saving you from the brink of a mental breakdown. We are returning the favor."
Yan Yihu said," No one can escape from life and death. You're not an immortal. You don't have the ability to make me immortal."”
Yan Junfang said," Who says I don't have the ability? I can turn you from an old man into a young man and let you live to 120 years old."”
"I don't believe it. Can an old man become younger?" Yan Yihu said.”
Yan Junfang said,"I'll blow on you and you'll turn into a young man."”
"I'd like to see how your magic can be reformed."”
Yan Junfang grabbed his shoulders with both hands and said,"I am a fairy from the heavens. I will infuse my youthful aura into your internal organs and stimulate your vitality with my youthful vitality. I am the motivation of your life, the source of your strength, and the pillar of your spirit. Look, in just a few minutes, you've become a young man!”
"I'm a pervert, I'm a demon, I'm a young man!" Yan Yihu said impatiently. Alright!" He grabbed her again.
Yan Junfang smiled and said,"Look at how anxious you are. You're like a hungry wolf. You want to eat me in one bite." Stop messing around in the bath and eat slowly in bed! There's no one here to snatch it from you!"
Yan Yihu hugged her and slept soundly. He had never slept so soundly before. He slept until noon and did not wake up.
Yan Junfang was still jet-lagged when she first arrived in America. Besides, she didn't want Yan Ge to see her sleeping in the same bed as her father. She woke up early to clean up the room. There was not a single woman in the house. The house was in a mess and covered in dust. After two hours of cleaning and tidying up, the house looked completely new. The house was originally well-decorated. After cleaning and tidying up, it was bright and magnificent.
Besides, Yan Ge left home in a hurry to deal with urgent business matters in the morning. He couldn't forget that fairy sister who fell from the sky. Her innocent and cute appearance appeared in front of him from time to time, and her voice was really pleasant to hear. Her voice was crisp and moving, and her Mandarin was very standard. It was very similar to the voice of a television host. After arranging his work in the company, he rushed home.
When Yan Ge got home from work, he was stunned when he entered. Yan Junfang went up to him and took the document bag from his hand."Brother, you've worked hard! Sit down and rest for a while."
Yan Junfang hung the document bag on the hanger and handed a wet towel to Yan Ge."Big brother, wipe your face and drink a cup of tea first.”
Yan Ge looked around and said jokingly,"I thought I had come to the wrong house. The house has never been so clean." Little sister has worked hard!"
"How can having a sister be the same as not having a sister?" Yan Junfang also joked. Why didn't you let Mommy give birth to a little sister for you earlier?”
Strictly speaking,"I'm content with having you as my little sister. I'm very happy to see you!”
"I'm also very happy to see my brother," Yan Junfang said.”
Yan Ge looked around. Why don't I see Daddy?"
"Dad is still sleeping," Yan Junfang said.”
"Dad rarely sleeps in. What's wrong today?" Yan Ge asked in surprise.”
Yan Junfang said," Our family has been reunited. Daddy is relieved. Naturally, he will sleep soundly!"”
Strictly speaking," Sister is Daddy's precious baby. She misses you and looks forward to you every day. She can't sleep well at night and can't eat well. After a long time, her body has become thin and weak. I think Dad is too biased. It's as if I'm not his biological son.”
Yan Junfang smiled and teased," I'm Dad's biological son. You were picked up from the streets. Of course you like me!"”
Yan Yihu walked out of the bedroom in his pajamas. Yan Junfang hurriedly went over to help her sit on the sofa.
"Where did Daddy pick up such a cute little sister for me?" he asked jokingly.”
"Your sister is your biological daughter. You're the brat who was picked up." Yan Yihu teased.”
Yan Junfang clapped her hands and said happily," Look, Dad also said that you were picked up. I didn't wrong you, right?"”
Yan Ge shook his head helplessly. But I've been out of favor ever since!"
Yan Junfang said," No, you won't. You won't feel lonely after having a sister. You'll be happier in the future."”
Strictly speaking,"Yes! A fairy-like little sister fell from the sky. I'm so happy!”
Yan Junfang looked at Yan Ge strangely and said,"I picked up a handsome boy by the roadside. I'm even happier!”
Strictly speaking,"From what you're saying, it sounds like I was really picked up from the roadside and not my parents 'biological child."”
Yan Junfang said," Brother, you weren't picked up by the roadside. You were picked up from a trash can." Look at your smelly clothes, take them off quickly! I'll wash it for you."
Yan Ge said happily," It's still good to have a younger sister. The whole family has changed the moment she married into the family. Dad is also full of energy.”
"Of course!" Yan Junfang said. Brother, look at how happy dad is when he sees me. Therefore, I am your biological child.”
Yan Yihu said," Don't fight with words. My son and daughter are my biological children. They are my flesh and blood that I can't bear to part with."”
Yan Junfang said," Regardless of whether he's biological or not, he's still my older brother. If he's my older brother, I'll have to serve him well." Our Yan family will rely on you to inherit the family business and carry on the family line. Brother is our key protection target.”
Strictly speaking,"Little sister, don't make fun of me! Your key protected target is already hungry. Hurry up and cook!”
Yan Junfang said,"Baby brother, I've already prepared the food. Let's go to the dining room to eat!"”
"Sister can cook too?" Yan Ge was pleasantly surprised. You're really one of the seven fairies who descended to the mortal world. I never dreamed that Daddy would create such a cute little sister for me!”
Yan Junfang helped Yan Yihu to the dining room and pulled out a chair for him to sit on. She sat down next to him.
Strictly speaking," Dad, it's my sister's first time in Los Angeles. The family of three is happily reunited. Let's have a drink!”
"Alright!" Yan Yihu said. Bring me the wine strictly."
Yan Ge took out a bottle of whiskey from the wine cabinet, opened it, and filled three glasses. He gave one cup to his sister and one to his father. He raised his own cup and said,"Our little sister has come all the way to Los Angeles. We would like to express our warm welcome. Let's toast to her!”
Yan Junfang hurriedly waved her hand and said,"Brother, wait!" Every country has its laws and every family has its rules. Without rules, there is no square. How could I offend my superiors and ask my father and brother to toast me? I suggest that the first glass of wine should be a toast to Dad.”
"Little sister is right! You should toast Dad first."
Yan Junfang raised her glass and said," Thank you, Dad, for your education. I wish you good health and happiness!"”
A bright smile appeared on Yan Yihu's face as he raised his glass and downed it. As his smiling mouth was not closed, the wine flowed out from the corner of his mouth without him knowing. Yan Junfang hurriedly picked up a napkin to wipe the wine from Yan Yihu's mouth. As he wiped, he said,"Daddy, drink slowly." Drinking too much would affect digestion and it was not good for the body.”
After settling Yan Yihu down, Yan Junfang picked up the wine bottle and filled three wine glasses. She said,"Thank you for your warm care, brother. Please allow this little sister to toast brother to express her gratitude.”After saying that, the siblings clinked their glasses and drank it in one gulp.
After Yan Ge finished the glass of wine, he picked up the wine bottle and filled it up."As an elder brother, I'll also toast to your little sister!”
Yan Junfang shook her ponytail and said,""Although he's a brother picked up from the roadside, he's still a brother no matter what! If you were a brother, you shouldn't have condescended to 'The Emperor' to let you toast your little sister! I suggest a third toast to celebrate our family reunion in Los Angeles!”
"Yes, yes, yes!" Yan Yihu said happily. It's rare for our family of three to reunite. Let's drink together!”
Yan Junfang picked up the bottle and was about to pour more wine when Yan Yihu quickly stopped her."Girl, eat something before you drink! Drinking on an empty stomach was easy to get drunk, and it was not good for the stomach.”
Strictly speaking," Dad is right. I've been hungry for a long time. Let's eat first!”
Yan Junfang said,"Brother, try my cooking and see what it is like."”
Yan Ge picked up a piece of steamed bass and tasted it."Delicious and delicious, fragrant but not greasy. Where did little sister learn this move from? When you have time, teach me.”
Yan Junfang said,"My teacher is far away and right in front of me."”
Yan Ge looked left and right and said,"You mean our dad?”
"I did teach her before, but she has already surpassed me in terms of craftsmanship," said Yan Yihu.”
Strictly speaking,"Little sister, don't leave. Cook for me!" I really like your cooking!"
"Isn't it a little overkill to ask your sister to cook for you?" Yan Yihu said. Your sister's company already has assets of more than 100 million yuan. Although your company is big, it's all Grandpa Jicheng's. You still have to learn from your sister in managing a business.”
Strictly speaking, he said," I know what you're capable of. I'll ask you to come over and co-manage this company in Los Angeles. What do you think?”
"I'm here to bring Dad back to China. I don't intend to help you manage the company," Yan Junfang said.”
Strictly speaking,"Yours and mine? It's all the Yan family's company." If your sister is the general manager, I'll be your assistant, okay?”
Yan Junfang said," I don't know anything about Western management methods. I don't know how to speak a single word from the foreigners. I can't manage the company. I'm annoyed by foreigners. I really can't live here for long.”
Strictly speaking, it would be great if our family was reunited! Even if you take Daddy away, Daddy will still miss me.”
Yan Junfang said,"Daddy is not used to the climate here. He can't eat or sleep." Look at how skinny you are!"
Strictly speaking,"Daddy is sick because he misses you. It's good that you're here." He ate well and slept soundly. When he was in a good mood, he would naturally recover.”
Yan Junfang picked up a piece of bass, removed the bones, and put it directly into Yan Yihu's mouth."Daddy, eat quickly! The dishes won't taste good if they get cold."
After Yan Yihu swallowed the fish, she picked up another piece of beef and put it in his mouth."Eat slowly. Chew the meat before swallowing it.”
Yan Junfang saw Yan Yihu swallow the meat and bring a bowl of soup to his mouth. Yan Yihu glanced at Yan Ge and took the bowl."I'll drink it myself."
Yan Yihu drank a mouthful of soup, and the soup flowed down from the corner of his mouth again. Yan Junfang wiped the soup off him again. Yan Ge saw that Yan Junfang was not eating and was focused on serving her father. He asked,"Sister, why aren't you eating?"
Yan Junfang said,"I'll eat after serving Daddy well."”
Strictly speaking,"Daddy is not a child. He can eat by himself."”
Yan Junfang shook her head and sighed.""Daddy's body is too thin! Look at his hands trembling slightly when he picked up the food. His movements were slow and his expression was blank. He was not as good as before.”
Yan Ge glanced at his father and then shifted his gaze to Yan Junfang."Sister, no wonder Daddy likes you. You treat Daddy like a child. I can't catch up to you. When mom was around, mom served me. When mom wasn't around, dad cooked for me. I've always been a child in front of my parents. When you came here, your father became a child. You're really amazing!"
Yan Junfang said," What's so strange about that? A person can change their roles in different environments at different times. We will always be children in the eyes of our parents. However, Dad is old and needs us to take care of him. It's time for us to be filial. People's mental states gradually changed as they grew older. When we serve the elderly, we must pay attention to his mental state and take corresponding measures according to his psychological quality. Treat an old man in his sixties as if he were a child of seven or eight. Treat an old man in his seventies as if he were a child of five or six. An old man in his eighties should be treated like a two or three-year-old baby. As the saying goes, the older the person, the smaller the heart. If I say something wrong, Dad will cry. Can't you treat your father like a child?”
Strictly speaking,"After listening to my sister, I feel that I'm too incompetent as a son. I've never thought about how to serve my father. I'm really ashamed to always let my father serve me!”
Yan Yihu said,"Yan Jing, don't listen to your sister's nonsense. He's just playing with you." This crazy girl often bantered with me, making me not know whether to laugh or cry. I'm not too old, so I can take care of myself. She's a little girl. She's willing to serve me. Let her serve me! You don't have to worry about serving me."
"Why don't you let me serve you?" Yan Ge asked in surprise. Do you really think I'm a child you picked up from the roadside?”
Yan Yihu glared at Yan Ge and said,"A big man should prioritize his career." The company with a billion yuan in assets is all thanks to you. We all hope that you will carry forward your vast career and succeed. It's not worth it to spend your precious time serving an old man.”
Yan Junfang said,"Inheriting the ancestral business and bringing honor to our ancestors is all up to you." Leave Daddy to me! I promise that I will always be by Dad's side and make Dad happy and comfortable. I will definitely be filial to my brother.”
Yan Ge scratched his head and pondered for a moment."Grandpa is gone. Mommy is gone. Daddy is not in good health. If you all leave and put the burden on me, I will feel a lot of pressure. Please stay and help me!”
Yan Junfang said," I've said it before. I don't understand western management methods. I don't know English, so I can't communicate with foreigners. I really can't help you."”
Strictly speaking,"With your intelligence, you'll be able to pass English in less than half a year. The management style of the West was the same as that of China. You personally founded a real estate development company in China and developed it into a large company with assets of more than 100 million yuan. You must have accumulated a wealth of management experience. I've only taken over the company in Los Angeles for a few months and haven't completely controlled the situation yet. I'm really worried that our company will go out of control and go downhill. Sister, stay and help me!"
When Yan Yihu heard Yan Ge's pitiful words, he immediately felt sympathetic. He was worried that Yan Ge would not be able to manage the company well. So she advised Yan Junfang,"Girl, your brother doesn't have any experience in managing a company. Should we stay and help him for a few months before returning to the country?"”
"Don't you know how many bowls of rice I can eat?" Yan Junfang said. I've never studied business management and have no management experience. How can I manage such a big company well?”
Yan Yihu said," I know your ability the best. Your brother is not an outsider, so don't be too humble!"”
Yan Junfang said," I learned these skills from you. You're my backstage boss. Without you, I can't do anything."”
"Didn't you set up Minyi Real Estate Development Company?" Yan Yihu asked. What did I help you with?"
Yan Junfang said," I have neither education nor work experience. Without you, I can only be an ordinary employee at the bottom of the company. With your big red umbrella, I can ascend to the throne of the company's general manager. Therefore, I can't write down all my achievements in the past. Without you, I would be nothing."
Strictly speaking, I heard from my little sister that she didn't want to stay and help me. Since you've made up your mind to leave, I can't ask you to stay. However, I was very puzzled. How could a little girl in her early twenties control a large company with thousands of people? I'm your brother. Please tell me the secret to managing the company.”
Yan Junfang said,"I don't have any secret. I'm just a pawn in Dad's hands." Dad is the helmsman, and I'm the pawn in charge. If you want The Secret, you should ask Dad.”
"Girl, I'm not an outsider, so you don't have to be humble." Yan Yihu said.”
Strictly speaking,"Yes! We're all family. There's no need to be so polite!”
Yan Junfang said,"Big brother wants me to introduce my experience and contribute to the Secret Secrets. I really don't dare." If you ask me to report on my experience in starting a business, it's fine.”
Yan Ge said impatiently,"Tell me what you've learned!"”
Yan Junfang said," To start a company, we must first seize the business opportunity. We must do whatever the market needs. In recent years, the real estate industry in China was heating up, and commercial housing was in short supply. Our residential building was sold before it was completed. We used the owner's money to build the house and solved the financial problem. In such a situation where the supply of commercial housing was in short supply, anyone who did real estate could make money.”
Strictly speaking," What I want to know most is how you manage the company. Some of the higher-ups and department managers were arrogant and self-righteous because of their seniority. They didn't obey their leaders and didn't listen to their commands. They emphasized on being objective and shirking. They didn't take a young general manager like me seriously. How to control these cunning foreign masters was an urgent problem.”
Yan Junfang said," After our grandfather left, he definitely wouldn't be convinced by a young successor like you. It's expected that some of the older management staff would be arrogant and arrogant and slack off." Your first task should be to reorganize the leadership team and get rid of the lazy managers who occupy the manger. Those high-level and middle-level meritorious officials who had neglected their duties and disobeyed their leaders should also be cleaned up mercilessly. At this time, killing a chicken to show the monkey would have an immediate effect. In your heart, you can't relax your control over the leadership team with respect for Grandpa. No matter how good his relationship with his grandfather was or how much he had contributed to the company, he could not let his guard down.”
Strictly speaking, those veterans who started the business with Grandpa were twice as old as me. They were older than me, and I was always a little timid when I gave them orders.”
Yan Junfang said," This is because your psychological quality is not mature enough. You haven't really put yourself in the position of general manager." There were no elders or juniors in the workplace, only leaders and subordinates. Your every word is the code of conduct for your subordinates, making your subordinates realize that you are the absolute authority of the company. When you were disciplining your subordinates, you could not show any timidity or hesitation. Only by establishing your authority can you control the leadership of the entire company. Of course, one had to use their brains in everything. They had to use their intelligence to understand the situation of the leadership team members, grasp their psychological state, and use the right medicine to win by surprise. This would be able to appease the people and control the situation.”
Yan Yihu said," Don't look down on your sister's young age. She's speaking on the stage and there's silence below. Everyone's back is straight. No one is dozing off. Whoever she looked at would feel nervous. When I spoke, everyone was like a deflated ball, swaying and discussing.”
"Why?" Yan Ge asked. Did he like to take a few more glances at his little sister because she was pretty?”
"No, no! The servant girl was very strict with her subordinates. Whoever made a mistake would be dealt with severely without mercy. The department leaders who were dereliction of duty would be dismissed on the spot. Therefore, the management officers under the girl's leadership not only had high professional standards, but they also had a strong sense of responsibility.”
Yan Junfang said," You must be strict with your subordinates. You must clean up those who are incompetent and lack responsibility mercilessly. As a leader, Dad often did endless thinking work. I had no patience, time, or energy to talk to them. As long as I say a word, he will have to leave the company and find another job.”
Yan Ge asked,"Will the departure of important personnel affect work?"”
Yan Junfang said," All important leadership positions are assigned with deputies or assistants. Once the chief leaves the deputy, he will immediately take over the chief's work. This kind of organizational structure filled the chief officer with a sense of crisis and filled the leadership team with vitality.”
"You've made the managers nervous and everyone is in danger. Will you lose talents?" Yan Ge asked.”
Yan Junfang said," I have high expectations for the management staff, and I pay them well. The salary of our company's middle and high-level managers is one-third higher than that of other companies. Senior management talents, technical talents, and marketing elites all want to work in our company. It is precisely because we have gathered the outstanding talents of Sanhe City that the company has developed rapidly.”
Strictly speaking," I studied business management in university, but I'm always at my wit's end when I encounter problems. How did his sister know so much since she had never been to university?”
Yan Junfang said," Although I didn't go to university, I've read a lot of books about business management. Managing a company required not only theory but also practice. Using the theories summed up by predecessors to implement specific work was what the older generation often said. Only memorizing theories and dogmas without applying them was dogmaticism, a theory on paper. An old professor who wrote business management textbooks might not be able to manage a business well, and a general who knew the Art of War by heart might not be able to win a battle. The reason for this was the ingenious combination and application of theory and practice. There were no formulas or examples that could be applied here. It all depended on your accurate judgment and flexible application.”
Strictly speaking," My sister's valuable experience has inspired me greatly. However, I have just taken over the position of general manager, and I don't know where to start. Please enlighten me."”
Yan Junfang said,"I don't dare to teach you!" The most important thing now was to stabilize the leadership and appease the people. After stabilizing the country, he would go and develop a new situation. Perhaps our real estate development company is different from your electrical company, and the management measures we take are different. Our company implements the 'four highs', which are high salary, high quality, high speed, and high efficiency. Only a high salary could attract talents to recruit elites for their own use. Only by building the houses well and gaining the trust of the people would there be a market for sales. Only with high speed could they seize the sales market and seize business opportunities. Only by reducing costs could there be greater profit margin. With the funds, he could expand his production, build more houses, and earn more money.”
Strictly speaking," No wonder your company has developed so quickly in just two years. She was so experienced and mature at such a young age. She really lived up to her title as a young entrepreneur.”
Yan Junfang said," Brother, don't listen to my nonsense. Every company has its own characteristics. You must not apply the experience of others. You must take corresponding effective measures according to the characteristics of your own company.”
Yan Ge saw Yan Yihu sitting there listlessly dozing off and said,"Daddy has the habit of taking a nap. Tell Daddy to go back to his room and rest for a while!”
Yan Junfang said,"Brother, go back to your room and rest for a while!"”
Strictly speaking," I won't be working in the afternoon. I want to chat with you for a while.”
"Alright!" Yan Junfang said. I'll send Dad back to the bedroom first and then come back to talk to you.”
Yan Junfang arranged for Yan Yihu to lie down and returned to the dining room. She looked at the food on the table and said,""Brother, we've been talking. You haven't eaten, have you? I'll heat up the soup again."
Yan Junfang carried the soup basin to the kitchen to heat up the soup. Yan Ge thought as he ate,"My little sister who fell from the sky is not only beautiful, but also smart. Even I, a college graduate who has received higher education, feel inferior. If she can stay with me, it will be the greatest happiness in my life.……”While he was wandering in his sweet dreams, Yan Junfang came back with a hot bowl of soup. She scooped a bowl of soup for her brother and advised him to eat quickly. She also felt a little hungry and turned herself into a bowl of soup to eat.
