Rebirth of the Little Actor Chapter 2 – Even if he wasn’t their child, An Xing didn’t want them to worry in the future.
An Zhaoming knew his own son well. His son’s mind was simple, he was close and honest with people, and when he had a disagreement with someone, he would boldly say it on the spot.
This kind of character is very pleasing to the eye, because there is no offensive behavior and is so simple that one can see it at a glance. He is also not easily aggrieved because he has his own set of logic, and when he encounters people who do not share the same outlook, he will directly stay away from them and stay within his comfort zone.
In other words, if the cub is aggrieved, it must be a big problem.
An Zhaoming took one stride forward and sat on the edge of the bed.
“Son, you fainted? What’s going on? Let’s go to the hospital right now!”
Saying this, he raised his hand to touch An Xing’s head, devoid of his usual majestic and unapproachable appearance in the company.
Crowd: ……
The actual weapon, An Xing is Mr. An’s own son, look at this intensity.
An Xing skillfully moved towards the front, and the top of his head rubbed against the dry and warm palm, and he weakly said:
“It’s just that the marketing program is not well written, and I didn’t sleep well last night when I stayed up late to revise it, so ……”
An Zhaoming frowned, grasping the point: “You’ve only been in the company for a week and you’re writing a marketing program?”
An Hao, who was standing by the side, clenched his fists and his face became even more ugly. He subconsciously stepped forward, wanting to say something, when he saw that An Zhaoming had already turned his head to look over for a glance. That gaze was deep, as if one glance could see through all of his little thoughts.
An Zhaoming: ”You don’t know how to write? It’s also because your cousin didn’t think it through, and this job isn’t suitable for you right now.”
An Xing didn’t deny that he wasn’t capable enough, from his last life to now, he didn’t want to take power in An Ning Jewelry, he knew how capable he was. But clearly expressing the same meaning, An Hao only wanted to step on him to emphasize himself, An father then said very objectively that it was the leader’s negligence to set up the task in such a manner.
The always serious man’s eyes were loving and doting at this time, and after rubbing An Xing’s head, he straightened his collar. The other people in the room had already deeply realized that no matter how useless Mr. An’s son was rumored to be, in reality, compared to his “capable” nephew, Mr. An valued Mr. An Xing as his son more than anything else.
Since An Zhaoming had spoken, An Hao also understood that he had to admit defeat today. In the midst of his thoughts, he said:
“Uncle, this matter is indeed my fault. I thought that my cousin grew up next to you and learned by experience, writing a marketing program shouldn’t be difficult for him, I didn’t expect ……”
With a sincere face, he looked at An Xing, “Cousin’s body is not feeling well, so quickly go home and rest.”
If it wasn’t for the fact that the crowd had been in the infirmary and had watched An Hao’s performance from start to finish, they would really believe that he was a good brother who trusted and loved his younger brother.
Looking at An Hao’s do-gooder look, An Xing, who had no intention of resting on his laurels, lowered his eyes. He nestled under the small quilt, revealing a look of watering eyes.
“Dad, it’s better if I don’t linger at the company.”
“I know that my cousin thinks that I’m stupid and don’t know anything, I simply don’t look like a child of the An family, and I don’t deserve to work in the family company. It’s me who got arrogant, thinking of sharing some burden …… for dad I’d better go!”
Thought that An Xing would go along with the stage down An Hao: ?
What the hell is wrong with this dumbass today! How come all his behavior is unexpected!
An Hao’s expression was twisted, An Zhaoming was silent, and An Xing was in tears. But in the infirmary, the most embarrassed was definitely not the three of them, but several other employees in the marketing department. Experiencing firsthand the cultivation of the old boss’s house, they really couldn’t enjoy eating melon ah!
Only Brother Yang, who was on good terms with An Xing, let out a soft “eek” and opened his mouth in the midst of the silence.
“An Xing you are not suitable to work in the marketing department, you can go to the design department. Aren’t you from the art department!”
The others instantly came to life.
“Art Department? Isn’t An Xing from the School of Economics and Management?”
Brother Yang said with a big grin, “No, I remember An Xing told me that he was a sophomore in the art department, and he also showed me the jewelry design drawings. Mr. An, don’t mind me talking too much, I think our jewelry company, An Xing internship does not have to come to the marketing department, but to go to the design department is not a more professional match?”
An Xing lowered his head and twisted the corner of the quilt, not letting the smile on his face show. These words if he or dad said out would seem to be an excuse, but when others say it, it’s much more useful, brother Yang is really a wonderful person!
At first, he listened to others’ coaxing, and not only did he do such a stupid thing as hiding his identity and entering the company as an intern, but also abandoned his professional specialty and ran to do marketing that he knew nothing about. Now he was going to cry at the stupidity of his own self!
The second step to stop An Hao from stepping on himself: clarify the rumors, not that I am inferior to you, An Hao, just that my specialty is not the right one.
An Zhaoming’s eyes slightly relaxed, and rubbed a handful of An Xing’s hair.
“Hear that. When you gambled to enter the marketing department, Dad advised you, but you did not listen. Your coworkers have all said that you are suitable for the design department. In the future, when you go to the design department, don’t be childish anymore!”
An Xing obediently nodded his head, not surprised that his father’s words were to calm things down.
In front of so many outsiders, An Hao is still the An family no matter what. He can lose his temper, and his father will definitely hit him 50 times on each side. An Xing didn’t mind either, he just didn’t want An Hao to step on him to take the position, as for other accounts, he could settle it later.
An Zhaoming gave the word, no matter how unwilling An Hao was, this time it could only be like this. Before leaving the room, he looked back at An Xing, his gaze slightly sunken.
An Xing saw An Hao’s gloomy expression and turned his gaze away uninterestedly. He slapped An Hao in the face like this because he wasn’t comfortable being wronged anymore, and also because, anyway, An Hao didn’t treat him as a younger brother, so why should he care about An Hao’s face.
When only two people were left in the room, An Zhaoming eased his expression and stroked the small curly hair on top of An Xing’s head again.
“Had a falling out with your cousin?”
An Xing pouted. It doesn’t matter when he was young, the older An Hao is, the better he can act, and he is one of the only juniors in the An family, so his father will definitely not think badly about him. Now he knew the truth, since he was not a child of An’s family, he couldn’t speak ill of An Hao again.
He hesitated for a moment, pulled An Zhaoming’s sleeve and asked:
“Will dad give the company to him in the future?”
An Zhaoming froze.
An Xing hung his head in shame: “It’s all because I’m too stupid, I really can’t learn those things about business management.”
Although not biological, but An Xing felt that he is quite like mother An, both are more spontaneous, and love art. Really not suitable to engage in what business management. An Ning Jewelry is what An Zhaoming single-handedly founded, of course, it is best for An Xing to take over. But because An Xing is not suitable to be a manager, that An Hao started to think about it.
From An Hao’s performance in his last life, An Xing felt that, with or without the matter of holding the fault, An Hao had a great advantage within the company. There is no such thing as wronging, his reputation is not as good as that of An Hao, and there is a difference in age, even if the real young master enters An Ning Jewelry in the future, it will be difficult to compete with An Hao who started his business early.
An Ning Jewelry was owned by the An family, An Xing did not covet its ownership. But if there were disputes in this area in the future, An’s father and mother would definitely have to worry about it.
Even if he was not their child, An Xing did not want them to be worried in the future.
The little teenager hung his head in sorrow, and his little curly hair seemed to be wilting. An Zhaoming looked on with amusement and felt some relief, reaching out to rub his son’s little curls.
“Is that why you had to come to the internship?”
The man’s voice was laced with laughter, and An Xing looked up stupidly.
“Kids shouldn’t think so much, your dad can still work for another twenty years.”
An Xing: “……I’m twenty!”
“A ball of childishness.” The majestic Mr. An smiled softly, “Even if you can’t manage the company in the future, finding a professional manager to take care of it is just fine, but it’s just earning less.”
“As for your cousin, with his current ability, he is still far off from taking over the company. Even if he has the desire to take over the company in the future, it depends on whether he has the ability to do so.”
An Xing did not expect An’s father to be so open-minded, and felt a sense of relief in his heart.
He was only in his second year of college now, and there were really not many things he was worried about, one was the matter of hugging the wrong person, and the other was the An family’s couple’s retirement in the future, as well as the status of his biological parents. The matter of hugging the wrong person and searching for his real parents have to be planned slowly, and the immediate thing is that this careless cousin An Hao is coveting An Ning’s jewels.
Since father has a plan, and if everything goes well, the real young master can also give father a favor …… so An Xing relaxed.
An Xing was about to reveal a smile when he saw An father smile narrowly.
“Big deal, in the future, let Tian Shen manage An Ning Jewelry.”
“……”
An Xing froze for a moment, and suddenly remembered the fourth thing he needed to worry about.
He still had a marriage contract on him, and the marriage contract was with Lu Tian Shen, who was four years older than him and had grown up together, and was now the head of the Lu Family.
“Dad!”
An Xing shrieked in exasperation.
“It’s just a verbal marriage contract!”
The little teenager’s pale face had a blush and his spirits lifted, An Zhaoming sighed in relief and teased his son more easily.
“A verbal engagement counts, and you didn’t refuse.”
The country had already passed the same-sex marriage law, and An Xing had found out his orientation was male when he was an adolescent. Therefore, more than half a month ago, when Lu Tian Shen asked him if he was willing to get engaged, thinking that there was a bond of growing up together, and that since the Lu family was more prominent than the An family, he certainly wouldn’t covet the An family’s family fortune, so An Xing agreed.
As a result, after the verbal engagement and communication with his parents, Lu Tian Shen was as if he was a pig’s trotter, and he couldn’t see anyone for more than half a month.
Being teased by Father An so much, remembering Lu Tian Shen’s big pig’s trotters behavior, An Xing was originally angry. But he quickly remembered that after the truth of the hugging of the wrong person in his last life came to light, many people who were originally close to him had distanced themselves from him before the dust had settled. Only Lu Tian Shen stood firmly by his side, and his attitude towards him was the same as before, without any change.
Thinking again that they would always break off the engagement later when the truth came out, An Xing was not angry anymore. However, his face was still indignant, and he even reached out and grabbed the hair at the back of An’s father’s head.
“Dad laughed at me!”
“Brat, don’t pull your father bald!”
An Xing grunted, skillfully changing the topic to pout at An father.
“Then I’ll go home first today ah. Dad, don’t you still have a meeting to go to, hurry up and get busy, mom and I will wait for you at home.”
Father An smiled even more happily.
Looking at the love in the bottom of the man’s eyes, An Xing’s heart sank, and his hand slowly retracted into the quilt.
In his hand, he was pinching a few strands of An Zhaoming’s hair.
