When Rong Huang heard him say this, a trace of visible sadness clearly flashed through his eyes.

As a father and son, why would the father rather know his son from others than communicate directly with him? But as a son, he can only understand his current situation in the news reports? If Yi Xin was not here today, how long would it take for them to sit together and have a home-cooked meal?

Rong Tianzhen seemed to notice that his words were inappropriate. In order to ease the atmosphere, he took the initiative to speak: "Huang'er, last time you said you had won three coupons and wanted to take me and your mother to travel around the world. Why not wait until I finish dealing with the recent business and arrange it?"

Rong Huang's smile became even bitter: "That happened two years ago. And... I have been with my friends, and I have brought you a gift."

The atmosphere suddenly became even stiffer.

My father remembered nothing he had said. He still remembered how happy he was when he got the coupon, but he was poured cold water by his father's understatement of "Business is too busy".

My father took the specialties and gifts he brought back to the office and said he wanted to put them in the most conspicuous place. "Every time I see them, I know that Huang'er has grown up and become sensible." But now it seems that perhaps his gifts are not as good as the gifts given by any of his ordinary partners.

Or, when he was planning to contact other bosses, he happened to see his gift, and when he could no longer remember who the gift came from, he handed it over to his business partner.

Otherwise, he wouldn't even remember the matter itself.

Yi Xin also saw the gap between the father and son. With his special identity now, it is not convenient to stay out of the matter. After repeatedly typing the draft, he took the initiative to smooth things over and said, "That... the waiter has been waiting for a long time. Let's go over and order the dishes first? What do you have to say slowly when eating?"

This also seemed to inspire Rong Huang. He immediately approached his father, walked to the dining table, and diligently opened the chair for him, then pulled Yi Xin to sit opposite him.

"According to your habit, I didn't choose a restaurant that was too expensive." Rong Huang held the menu and handed it to his father carefully, "I have been to this store with my friends several times. With the guaranteed taste, it is still relatively affordable. You can take a look at the menu first. I also know that there are a few signature dishes here, which can be recommended to you..."

A sudden ringing interrupted Rong Huang's introduction.

Rong Tianzhen put down the menu, waved his hand to his son, and said only one sentence: "Look at it." Then he hurriedly picked up the communication and greeted the boss on the other end with a cheerful look.

Rong Huang pursed her lips bitterly, forced herself to look happy, and pushed the menu to Yi Xin, whispering with her.

This behavior may not be because he really wants to listen to other people's opinions, but just wants to find someone who can negotiate so that he doesn't have to look so lonely.

Yi Xin saw this and knew that he needed comfort the most at this time. What Rong Tianzhen could not do, she should do even more. So she also showed off her abnormal interest and listened to Rong Huang's introduction of the dishes, and kept nodding enthusiastically.

The menu was handed over to the waiter, and Rong Tianzhen's communication finally came to an end.

"You... have you ordered good food?" After a brief confirmation, his eyes flashed over Rong Huang and fell on Yi Xin first.

"I heard from your dean that Yi Xin has excellent character and academic performance. She has always been the first in the grade. She is indeed a very outstanding classmate. I feel much more at ease when Huang'er is dating you."

When Yi Xin heard such a well-known rich man praise him, he lowered his head shyly: "Uncle, you praise me so much. I just... I like to do exercises..."

Rong Tianzhen nodded with a smile: "Doing exercises, okay, this is a good hobby, and Huang'er should learn more from you."

"By the way," he picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip. "How did you two get together?"

Speaking of this, Rong Huang became interested and immediately continued: "The first time we met was at the opening ceremony of last year. At that time, we were just promoted to the senior high school department and were selected to speak as representatives of freshmen. Dad, you don't know that Xinxin was very cute at that time. She also wrote a special speech, and she kept memorizing it alone in the backstage..."

Yi Xin blushed and quietly pulled the corner of his clothes, trying to stop him from laughing at him. However, Rong Huang was still able to speak on his own. After all, he rarely had such an opportunity to talk about interesting things about life with his father.

However, the unstoppable ringtone rang again.

Rong Tianzhen waved his hand again, started the communication, and skillfully talked about business with the boss opposite him.

When he put down the jade slip, he remembered to ask Rong Huang: "I just said... you met at the New Year Ceremony, right? How was the New Year Ceremony?"

"..." Rong Huang forced a smile, "It's nothing."

"Dad, let me tell you again," he soon started another topic. "Do you remember that you criticized me once last year because I bullied a female classmate in the college? Actually..." He held Yi Xin's hand, held her and put his wrist on the table. "That female classmate is Xinxin. I fell in love with her the first time I saw her. But she is a top student and doesn't get into the oil and salt. I can only use bullying her to attract her attention. Fortunately, I finally caught her."

This was originally just a few jokes between father and son, but after hearing this, Rong Tianzhen corrected his expression and leaned towards Yi Xin seriously.

"Student Yi Xin, I've been spoiled by me. I'll apologize to you on his behalf."

Not only was Rong Huang embarrassed, but Yi Xin was even at a loss.

"Uncle, don't do this... Master, he is very nice to me, we..."

However, Rong Tianzhen once again started the communication.

When he put down the jade slip and asked the two of them about the previous topics, Rong Huang just responded bitterly: "It's okay."

Next, during the conversation between the three, Rong Tianzhen continued to answer the communication and had answered about ten times. Every time Rong Huang started a topic, he would be interrupted by the ringtone if he had less than two or three sentences.

Afterwards, he would always respond: "It's okay."

Many surging voices turned into a saying "It's okay".

If the topic is cut off, there will be no meaning to follow.

More importantly, he could see that his father was not interested in these topics at all, and now he was just listening to himself perfunctorily. The topics he really cares about were still in his business world.

Since my father didn't want to listen, Rong Huang didn't want to say it anymore. Even if he said it, it would only be like traveling to the forgotten world, and it would never come true for a day.

Yi Xin sat aside, watching their intermittent conversations at this moment, and was filled with shock.

Why... this father and son are like this?

This is really the father and son who are the most unlike father and son she has ever seen.

Take yourself as an example. Although his father is very strict with him, he will do his best to satisfy him whenever he makes any requests. She has also seen Xu Wenwen and her father. The two are like bad friends and will mercilessly start complaining. However, their father-daughter relationship is also hidden among these complaints. As for Dai Hang and his father, their relationship is even better. The two are like brothers, always fishing, playing ball together during holidays, and doing everything men like to do.

No father and son are like Rong Huang and his son... unfamiliar.

For this meal today, as Rong Huang's girlfriend, she should be the person being reviewed. Before coming here, she always put herself in the position of being reviewed.

However, she never expected that the person who was actually being reviewed and judged was Rong Huang.

He worked hard to show his performance in front of his father, and he looked forward to his father's smallest response. He sat upright and used jokes to hide his crampingness. In fact, he is more panicked than every big test. He is more eager to get his father's recognition than her.

Ultimately, they are not familiar with each other.

Yes, I'm just not familiar with it.

They lack the ability to get along with each other and understand each other, and their attitude towards each other is like treating guests. Although they are polite, they always show distantness. They also have no topics worth talking about, one does not understand and the other is not interested.

Who would have thought that the son of the president of Tianzhen Trading Company would be so nervous in front of him that he was like an ordinary student who had seen him for the first time?

"Dad... After graduation, I want to marry Xinxin." Finally, Rong Huang raised a major topic.

Since those daily life cannot attract my father's attention, there is only this last move.

Yi Xin's heart was beating wildly. She knew that the daughter-in-law of such a wealthy family was definitely not that easy to do. What awaited her was perhaps the harsh and picky as if she had passed five passes and six generals.

But unexpectedly, Rong Tianzhen just nodded calmly. It was as if his son told him that he was just where to go to run tonight.

"You are too old, and you will be the one who decides about marriage. Dad doesn't know how to handle these things. Then discuss with your mother. But now, I will finish my studies first, and then I will talk about it when you graduate and your work is stable."

For most people, it is as difficult as the "passing the parental review" level, which is easily revealed in a few casual conversations. However, there is no joy on Rong Huang's face that she can bring back the beauty.

What he wanted to see... was the attitude of his father. Even if he was surprised or opposed, as long as he could show an attitude... why did he be completely indifferent? Isn't he his son? His son is still in the Higher Education Department, so he clamors to marry an ordinary female student as his wife in the future. Can he accept it easily as a father?

If today, if he said he was not Yi Xin, but any other girl, his father would accept it... Whether he liked it or didn't like it, as long as he made this request, he would accept it.

It was like a task that I never cared about, and it was finally completed and a burden was made.

Whether it is his son's future or his wife's character... in his eyes, it is insignificant.

"Dad, I want Xinxin to come to Tianzhen Trading Company to work after graduation." As if he was angry, Rong Huang deliberately made a nearly harsh request, "Let her be a corporate executive directly and learn what she can't do. Anyway, the dean has introduced Xinxin's learning ability to do so to you."

Yi Xin was startled and waved his hand quickly. Just as he was about to say that he would start as a small employee, Rong Tianzhen still nodded naturally.

"Yes. Then you can contact the Human Resources Department directly and arrange a seat for her. I said it was approved by me. Our Tianzhen Business Company, of course, welcomes fresh blood to join. Then I will say something to Yi Xin in advance, and the cooperation is pleasant."

His pleasure is not because he admires Yi Xin, but because he doesn't care.

He believes that even if the person sitting on it is a genuine mediocre person, he will not defeat Tianzhen Business. This is enough.

Only those who don’t care can fully accept their life trajectory.

Rong Huang's passion in his heart was like a cold fire burning out inch by inch. His emotions were almost on the verge of an outbreak.

However, before he could break out, Rong Tianzhen took another message and stood up with a briefcase in his hand. He didn't even touch a few bites of the food in front of him.

"A new batch of goods has been received on the company, so I have to rush back to supervise it. Several old customers have also sent me a message and want to talk to me about cooperation in the next quarter. Then today, let's eat here first, Huang'er, please entertain Yi Xin for me."

After these words were explained, he left in a hurry without saying anything. He really came and went in a hurry.

What did both sides talk about during this meal? Yi Xin now recalled that except for the interrupted topics, there seemed to be nothing else left.

As soon as his father left, Rong Huang seemed to have been drained from strength. He leaned back to the back of the chair tiredly, looked up at the chandelier on the ceiling, and a sad and bitter smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Look at my father, is he really a very successful businessman?" His voice fluttered, like a dream, a rotten dream in a gorgeous coat. "In a meal, he had to receive more than ten consecutive communications. So many people were anxious to discuss business with him, and he didn't even have time to have a quiet meal..."

"But this is not the father I want..." At this moment, a cold tears quietly slid down the corner of his eyes. "I would rather be just an ordinary office worker, earning just enough to pay off his mortgage. He would go home on time, complain to me and my mother, and was scolded by the boss when he was working today. Then we can help him scold the boss together... and then the next day, we will continue to work with full vitality..."

"I hope that he will be happy for me after seeing my transcript... When I have poor grades and I get into trouble, he will blame me... Just like every ordinary head of a family, trying hard to support a family... I will be oppressed by life, but still live full of vitality... Just like the thousands of working people on this street..."

"Like... the role he should have played."
