Chapter 266 Drinking with Di Ming

After listening to me, Guzheng's father nodded in satisfaction.

I smiled guiltily because my promise was different from what Guzheng's father thought. I could only protect Guzheng as a friend, not as a boyfriend. So I can only say protect her, not love her.

I suddenly felt a little indescribably tired. I had cheated so many times that I felt like I had fallen into an abyss and couldn't pull it back.

And this kind of deception is ultimately a kind of injury, and a great deal of guilt and sadness surged out of my heart again.

"Okay." A smile appeared on Guzheng's father's face, and then he said, "Also, I'm looking for you, mainly about the company."

I suddenly felt distressed. The first thing I could make a promise, but the second thing I really couldn't do!

I said helplessly, "Uncle, I really don't know anything about the company. I'm not this material!"

"Your restaurant is doing well." Guzheng's father thought highly of me and said, "Actually, the company is the same. It's just a little bigger. When you understand everything, you'll find it's definitely not as difficult as you think. You have to believe in yourself."

"But..." At this moment, I was like a hot pot ant, impatient, completely unable to find an excuse to refuse.

I won't let you throw away the restaurant, but you don't have to be so busy. You can hire more staff and manage it yourself. If you don't have enough money, I can give you some. "Guzheng's father continued," we only have a child like Guzheng. You have to help her. You two have to work together!"

I lowered my head, not knowing how to answer.

Guzheng's father didn't force me to agree. He just sighed and said, "I don't have much time. That's why I'm so anxious! I know this is a little difficult for you, but with Guzheng, this company will be handed over to you sooner or later!"

I took a few deep breaths and finally said, "Uncle, can you wait until we get engaged? That way, it's fair for me to enter the company, and no one else will say anything."

In the end, I could only use this method of procrastination.

Guzheng's father saw me compromise and didn't say much, but obviously he wasn't satisfied with the answer, so I thought that when our conversation ended, it was far from over.

After the two of them left the backyard, Guzheng's father asked me to go upstairs to find Di Ming. I asked him to stay for a while. Guzheng's father said, "I don't drink. Enjoy yourselves. I won't go up. Just tell Di Ming that I'm leaving."

I nodded and sent Guzheng's father to the door. This time, Guzheng's father came with the driver. As expected, he listened to Lin Ya and did not drive by himself. After he left, I couldn't wait to call Guzheng.

I must tell Guzheng about it.

I could feel that since I told Guzheng's father that he would go to the company after the engagement, Guzheng's parents might really start with Guzheng and demand that we get engaged. It was really not a small matter!

As soon as the call was connected, I anxiously said to Guzheng, "Guzheng, something's wrong."

Then I told Guzheng about Guzheng's father coming to the restaurant to look for me.

Guzheng was also extremely surprised and said, "My dad went to find you!"

"That's right. According to your father, he really wants me to join the company. I think he'll probably tell you about the engagement when he gets back."

Guzheng was silent and there was no sound in the microphone.

I panicked and couldn't help but say, "Why do you think your father believes me so much?"

"There's also a reason for Di uncle."

"What does it have to do with him?" I asked in puzzlement.

"After you left that day, Di uncle talked a lot about you with us."

I said in surprise, "Di Ming and I only met twice before. What did he have to say, and a lot more? He doesn't understand me at all."

"What do you know? An old man like my dad and Di uncle can tell exactly what he wants. He can tell exactly what he wants. That's why my dad doesn't want me to be with those playboys. Don't say I'm picky. With my dad's eyes, he'll kill 90 out of a hundred."

I couldn't help but smile. The father and daughter are really alike.

"Then what do you want to do?"

This is definitely not going to end like this.

"This..." Guzheng was also helpless, struggling for a long time without saying anything.

But Di Ming was still waiting for me upstairs, so I had to say to Guzheng first, "Let's do this first. Di Ming is still waiting for me upstairs."

"Okay."

So I hung up the phone, sighed a few more times, and then went back to the restaurant with something on my mind.

Di Ming had been waiting for a long time. I greeted Hu Zi and the others and quickly went upstairs to find Di Ming. I apologized and said, "I've been waiting for Di uncle."

The dishes on the table were already served, but Di Ming did not move and waited for me.

He didn't care. He quickly reached out and said to me, "Come on, sit down."

Without waiting for me to sit down, Di Ming took two disposable glasses. The bottle was opened and he poured two glasses. I couldn't help but laugh and say, "Why are you so wasteful, Di uncle?"

"Well, we agreed to have a drink with you."

"Di uncle, I can't drink as much as you can." I'm a little embarrassed.

"It's not drunk yet. What are you afraid of?" Di Ming, who was also a man of few words, said, "Where's Xing Yun? I really feel like I'm destined to be with you. I really want to make you a friend. What about you? If you want to be friends with me, you can have a drink with me today."

Indeed, I am an old man, but I can feel Di Ming's sincerity, so I didn't say too much ink words, you respect me a foot, I respect you a foot, drink it.

So they didn't even move their chopsticks. They raised their glasses and touched each other first!

Di Ming took this bottle of wine that he didn't know what brand it was. It was so hot and spicy. He didn't know what kind of wine it was. After taking a sip, his ears were burning and buzzing.

After putting down the cup and eating some food, di ming looked at me and smiled, "You found a good girlfriend!"

I smiled bitterly. I never expected my relationship with Guzheng to spread so far.

Seeing my appearance, di ming asked, "What's wrong?"

"I'm in distress." Although I called him Di Ming Di uncle, I did not regard him as an elder, but a friend who could speak his mind.

"What's troubling you?" Di Ming said, "When you and Guzheng get married, you will be the chairman. You're going straight to the top of your life."

"That's exactly what bothers me!"

"Why?" Di Ming was puzzled. He raised the glass again and said, "Come on, let's drink and talk."

I also suppressed too many emotions in my heart, so I simply took a big sip.

After a while, he said, "Actually, I don't want to run any company. I don't even want to join Guzheng's father's company."

"What's the reason?"

"Because..." I gestured with my hand, "Because that's what Guzheng's father worked so hard to build, not mine. I don't want it. I don't want it for nothing. I don't want to go to the top of my life without doing anything. It's so boring. I can't even remember the struggle in the future. I'm a prince in law when people talk about me."

Di Ming nodded slightly after listening, his face showing appreciation, but then he curled his lips and smiled: "That's no way, who made you like the girl is Guzheng. Besides, even if you enter the company, you will face many challenges, more than you think, there will be no lack of people to trip you up, there will be no lack of intrigue, you have no ability to manage the company. So you don't have to worry about the challenge and the struggle."

"... That's what I said, but it still doesn't change my mind.

"Actually, I don't know if you are in the midst of happiness. Then the big company suddenly becomes yours. What's the concept? How many people dream of it, but you still despise it."

"I have the right to be disgusted." I said, "I just don't like to get something for nothing. It feels like... How to put it, it's like charity, and I'm like a beggar."

How many people want to be this beggar? This is harder than winning the lottery. You just won."

"Ah!" I was a little overwhelmed and raised my glass, "Stop talking about this. Stop talking about this."

Everyone's outlook on life and values are different. How others choose is someone else's business, and I will never want it. Of course, my relationship with Guzheng is fake, but I don't have to think too much about it. When it's over, I won't have to go to the company.

Just deal with it for a while.

"You and Guzheng, you two are a good match. I think you should get married soon. I'm waiting for your wedding."

I was speechless and had to drink with Di Ming.

At this moment, I remembered what Guzheng's father said and couldn't help but ask, "Di uncle, what's wrong with Guzheng's father? What does he mean by telling me today that he won't live long?"

Since Di Ming and Guzheng's father were old friends, they must have known about Guzheng's father's illness.

However, when I brought up this topic, Di Ming's face was also full of sadness. He did not answer my question and just sat there in a daze.

Di Ming's reaction made my heart sink. Was Guzheng's father really seriously ill? A man like Guzheng's father would certainly not lack the money to see a doctor. With so much money, his illness could not be cured, and that was probably really hopeless.

After a long time, Di Ming sighed, as if he had too much to say. He raised the glass in his hand and said to me with a heavy heart, "Stop talking about this. Stop talking about this. Let's drink."

Di Ming didn't say anything, and I was too embarrassed to ask, so I picked up my glass and continued drinking with Di Ming!
