"What is this?" Xue Wangui frowned as he looked at what Xue Xue put on his table. "Recording pen?"
"Mm-hmm, Dad is really smart."
"Hey…you kid…" Looking up at the smiling daughter with a wry smile, Xue Wangui was helpless and amused. "I mean, why are you giving me a recorder?"
"Why? Of course, I want you to listen to the contents of the recorder." Xue Xue's tone was exaggerated, first her eyes widened to express shock, then cautiously. "You listen to it alone, after all, it's a secret."
"Secret?" Xue Wangui was now really confused. "What's the secret?"
"Well…you'll know when you hear it." Xue Xue pretended not to see Xue Wangui's suspicious eyes and said softly. "It would be meaningless if I told you the content now."
Xue Wangui finally understood at this point in the conversation, and it was estimated that he could not get any meaningful information out of his daughter's mouth.
Only find out by himself.
Thinking of this, Xue Wangui took off his glasses and carefully looked at his daughter, who had changed significantly during this period of time.
He always felt that the beautiful girl in front of him was still the same girl who was sensible and obedient, but she was willful but gave him a lot of headaches. Xue Wangui was often at wit's end with such Xue Mi.
He just didn't expect the girl to grow up when he didn't notice it.
Xue Xue's performance in the company was so good that he, as a father, could not help but start to reflect on whether he had spent too much time on work in the past few years and neglected his daughter's growth.
Even Wang Feng, his most trusted old official, was a little worried when Xue Wangui decided to send his daughter to him, because Wang Feng was able to stand out from all the subordinates and won the trust of Xue Wangui in the first place was that his personality would never lose out to his excellent professional ability and integrity.
Even Xue Wangui himself was confronted by Wang Feng several times.
However, Xue Wangui was very clear that Wang Feng was a real talent, especially in crisis handling ability, which was why he was so angry with Wang Feng that he almost had a heart attack several times, but Wang Feng people still stayed in charge of the finance department.
This was what he most wants his daughter to learn.
Xue Wangui was already ready for Xue Mi to come to him and cry, but instead of waiting for her to cry, he waited for Wang Feng's praise.
"Come on, old Xue, I didn't think you'd be willing to hide such a precious daughter in your home."
Not long after Xue Xue went to work under Wang Feng, Xue Wangui invited Wang Feng privately and wanted to ask him how his daughter was at work. Unexpectedly, Wang Feng uttered such a sentence before he even sat down, which scared Xue Wangui so much that he almost swallowed a mouthful of hot tea.
In fact, at first, he thought that Wang Feng had learned to speak ironically. After all, Xue Mi had been reluctant to go to the company to study with Xue Wangui, and he still remembered it clearly.
But after talking, Xue Wangui realized that Wang Feng was still the Wang Feng he knew, the Wang Feng who could not tell lies and did not care to tell lies.
He really spoke highly of Xue Xue.
"You have a successor." Before the end, Wang Feng, who was a little lost in drinking, patted Xue Wangui on the shoulder. "There is a saying, how do you say that…women…uh…don't wave…"
"A woman doesn't let her headdress fall."
"Yes! Yes! Yes!" Nodding his head three times in a row, Wang Feng's face was full of smiles. "That's it!"
Later, Xue Wangui asked the driver to take Wang Feng home, while he walked for a while on foot.
Along the way, he was thinking and remembering.
About his daughter Xue Mi.
He prided himself on being a competent father, even doing more than most fathers can do for their daughters, yet ...
"Dad, what's the matter with you?" Xue Xue saw Xue Wangui staring at him, and there was an unreadable expression in his eyes. "Why are you looking at me like that all of a sudden?"
"Mi Mi."
"Huh?"
"No matter what, you're still my daughter, the daughter I'm most proud of."
Xue Wangui's unexpected words made Xue Xue unable to respond for a while.
"Compared to you being an excellent person who won't make mistakes, I hope you can be a happy person who can enjoy life happily."
Xue Xue understood now.
Xue Wangui couldn't express the entanglement.
After organizing the words in her mind a little, she decided to take it calmly.
"Dad, there is no conflict."
"I enjoy my life and I enjoy my work, just like I want to live my life well and do my work well." Xue Xue smiled sweetly. "I didn't think clearly about this in the past, but since I joined the company, I have been thinking, what exactly do I want? What do I really want?"
"Now, I finally found the answer."
"I hope that I can run a family together with Brother Pingyang, and I hope to continue to carry forward the company that carried my father's hard work. I also hope that in the future, we can all be together as a family and live happily."
"I had no goals or ideas in the past, which is why I made some… Now looking back at it, it's silly." Xue Xue shrugged. "But I don't regret it. If I hadn't gone through those detours, I don't think I would have realized that I was going in the wrong direction."
"But it's different now, Dad." Xue Xue looked directly at Xue Wangui and said very seriously. "This daughter hopes that you will be healthy and live a long life. In the past, you shielded me from the wind and rain. In the future, it will be my turn to be filial to you and protect you."
After Xue Xue finished speaking, she stared nervously at Xue Wangui.
These words were actually what Xue Mi hoped to say to Xue Wangui herself one day. Unfortunately, when she realized what was most important to her, the Xue family had already been swallowed up by the mother and son Jiang Anyang and Ding Rou.
In the last life, Xue Mi woke up too late and missed a good opportunity. Xue Xue will naturally not let such regrets happen again in this life.
She accepted the mission and will do her best to fulfill the client's wish.
Time passed slowly in each other's silence.
When she saw the tears in Xue Wangui's eyes, Xue Xue knew that this time she really got Xue Wangui's approval.
The father and daughter look at each other, and they can communicate with each other without words.
Unfortunately, this warm moment did not last long and was interrupted by a sudden knock on the door.
"Wan Gui, are you and Mi Mi inside?"
Xue Xue immediately lowered her eyelids when she heard Ding Rou's voice, got up and prepared to leave.
Xue Wangui wanted to keep his daughter, but when he moved his lips, Xue Xue immediately shook her head and said. "Dad, talk to Aunt Ding, I have nothing to say to her."
The tone was unabashedly cold.
