Chapter 184 I want Daddy to hug me!
Zhao Yuan kissed Zhao Nana, and then continued:
"So Nana, be a good girl and let Mommy hug you first, okay?"
Lin Fangfang reached out to hug Zhao Nana.
Like a frightened little rabbit, Zhao Nana buried her face in Zhao Yuan's warm embrace, tears streaming down her face, her sobs deafening.
"I want Daddy to hug me! I want Daddy to hug me!"
That childish voice, tinged with tears, seemed to penetrate one's soul.
Looking at his youngest daughter, who was crying her eyes out in the rain, Zhao Yuan felt a pang of heartache. He stopped, gently stroking her back and softly coaxing her:
"Okay, okay, Daddy will hug my little princess. Don't cry, or you'll turn into a little kitten."
As the years have passed and his career has flourished, Zhao Yuan has become a dazzling star in the business world. However, with the continuous expansion of his business empire, he has become increasingly busy, often leaving early and returning late, sometimes not returning home for several days at a time, making it difficult for his family to see him.
The eldest daughter, Zhao Zhaodi, has entered her first year of high school. This sensible and well-behaved girl has never caused her parents any worry since she was little. Not only is she academically excellent, ranking at the top of her class in every exam, but she is also extremely self-reliant and manages everything in an orderly manner.
The second daughter is just as outstanding; the two sisters are practically the legendary "other people's children."
However, whenever the night is quiet, Zhao Yuan would always sit alone in his study, lost in thought.
He gradually realized that he seemed to be repeating the mistakes of his previous life—accumulating more and more money, but spending less and less time with his family.
This was not the situation he had hoped for, yet reality often leaves one feeling powerless.
"My sweet Nana, Daddy has some things to take care of. But Daddy promises to finish as soon as possible and then come home to have dinner with our lovely Nana, and tell her lots and lots of wonderful stories, okay?"
As Zhao Yuan spoke softly, he gently kissed Zhao Nana's rosy cheek.
"Dad's lying, I don't believe him!"
Zhao Nana's delicate face was already soaked with tears. She sobbed and cried, looking as pitiful as a pear blossom in the rain.
"How could Daddy lie to Nana? My sweet daughter, let's make a pinky promise, okay?"
Zhao Yuan looked at Zhao Nana with eyes full of tenderness, and gently reached out his hand to make a pinky promise with his daughter as he spoke.
"Hmm... okay, let's pinky swear."
Sobbing, Zhao Nana slowly reached out her chubby little hand and tightly hooked it around Zhao Yuan's finger.
"Pinky promise, a hundred years without breaking up, or you'll be a puppy."
A child's clear, innocent voice rang out, seemingly tinged with a hint of grievance, but mostly filled with trust in his father.
After the two made a pinky promise, Zhao Nana reluctantly slid off Zhao Yuan.
Her big, watery eyes remained fixed on her father, filled with affection and reluctance.
As Zhao Yuan turned around, got into the car, started the engine, and slowly drove away from her yard, Zhao Nana couldn't help but burst into tears again.
At that moment, Zhao Yuan, Zhou Jiefang, and Gong Xianjin were driving their vehicle at high speed toward "Jingcheng Jiajia Construction Co., Ltd."
On the other side, after receiving a call from Zhou Jiefang, Fu Jiaxing and Xiong Jiayuan quickly brewed a pot of fragrant tea and waited quietly in the company, anticipating the arrival of the three.
Before long, a car approached with a roar, and finally came to a steady stop in front of the "Jingcheng Jiajia Construction Co., Ltd."
Fu Jiaxing and Xiong Jiayuan were sitting in the office discussing work matters when suddenly the roar of a car engine came from afar.
The two exchanged a glance, understood each other perfectly, and quickly stood up, taking brisk and powerful steps toward the company gate to greet the distinguished guest.
Soon, a car came to a smooth stop in front of the company.
The car door opened, and Fu Jiaxing and Xiong Jiayuan greeted them with beaming smiles.
"Welcome, Mr. Zhao!" Their voices were full of sincerity and anticipation.
At this moment, Zhou Jiefang, who was standing to the side, quickly stepped forward, pointed at Fu Jiaxing and Xiong Jiayuan, and said to Zhao Yuan, who had just gotten off the bus:
"Mr. Zhao, this is Mr. Fu Jiaxing, one of the founders of 'Jingcheng Jiajia Construction Co., Ltd.' and this is Ms. Xiong Jiayuan, another founder."
Zhao Yuan smiled and nodded, then extended his hand in turn to shake hands warmly with Fu Jiaxing and Xiong Jiayuan, and politely responded:
"Hello Mr. Fu, hello Mr. Xiong, it's a pleasure to meet you both."
After exchanging greetings, Fu Jiaxing gestured for them to proceed and said:
"Mr. Zhao, please come inside and sit down with us."
With that, the group walked into the company's office.
As soon as I stepped into the office, the company's employees, in their well-trained manner, served me carefully brewed fragrant tea.
The aroma of tea filled the air, creating a particularly warm and inviting atmosphere.
However, Zhao Yuan did not rush to sit down and enjoy tea, but instead suggested that he would like to tour the company first.
Fu Jiaxing readily agreed and replied with a smile:
"Okay, Mr. Zhao. However, our company is still relatively small, so some places may look a bit rudimentary. We hope you will understand."
As he spoke, he led Zhaoyuan on a tour of the company's various departments and work areas.
During the visit, Fu Jiaxing gave Zhaoyuan a detailed introduction to the company's development history, business scope, and team composition.
Although the company is small, every corner of it showcases the hard work and fighting spirit of the entrepreneurs.
About half an hour later, Zhao Yuan and the others returned to the office after a general tour of the company.
At this moment, five people sat around the conference table, preparing to formally discuss matters related to the investment and merger of "Jingcheng Zhaoshi Real Estate Development Co., Ltd." and "Jingcheng Jiajia Construction Co., Ltd."
Sunlight streamed through the gaps in the blinds, illuminating the spacious and bright office.
Five people sat around the conference table, intently discussing various matters.
Time slipped by unnoticed, and lunchtime had passed in the blink of an eye.
Just as everyone was feeling very hungry, there was a knock on the door. It was the delivery staff from "Zhao's Kitchen." They placed steaming hot meals on the table, their aroma filling the air.
After a busy period, everyone had eaten and drunk their fill and continued their intense negotiations.
Finally, as the sun began to set, all matters were settled, and everyone wore a satisfied smile.
At this moment, Fu Jiaxing stood up and extended an invitation to Zhao Yuan with a smile:
"Mr. Zhao, everyone's been working hard all day, how about we go out for dinner together tonight?"
